Chapter 19: The Corpse Man (1)
Although the king didn't see what the extremely fast phantom was, he knew the direction of the disappearance.
So, Jun Sai cast a shadow to chase after him.
Perform the Shadow Walk with all your might, and the speed is extremely fast, and everywhere you go is like a gust of wind streaking by.
A moment later, outside the city, under the cliff of dead wood.
"Gone? Who the hell is it, so fast? I'm here with the feeling of the wind. ”
Dressed in black, Jun Sai wandered alone in the deep forest. It's just that when the moon is in the sky, night smoke rises in the deep forest, covering the dark deep forest with a layer of haze.
After searching for a long time, I didn't find any abnormalities.
"Am I perceiving it wrong?" Jun Sai was puzzled, "It seems that I have to leave today." ”
The Jun Sacrifice cast a shadow step, turned into an afterimage, and disappeared in place.
Not long after he left, a dazed figure with a twitching body appeared, spitting cold air from his mouth, and roaring in a low voice, "Ah.....hhhhhhh
And the king priest easily crossed the high city wall and returned to the inn from the west of the city at great speed.
At this time, the east gradually brightened.
The windows of the attic, one close. Jun Sai covered his head and fell asleep, after all, he was a little tired after a night of investigation.
A few hours later, there was a knock on the door, "Knock knock"
Jun Sai rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "Wait a minute. ”
Simply put on your clothes, fix your hair, and go open the door.
At this time, the shopkeeper brought a basin of hot water and a white cloth, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, did you sleep well last night?"
"It's ok. ”
"Then do you want to continue to stay in the hotel today?" asked the shopkeeper.
"Hmm. You're paying me for three days. "Jun Sai is wiping his face.
The shopkeeper said happily: "Okay." ”
Jun Sai gave three days of accommodation and meal money, and the shopkeeper was overjoyed.
If the guest officers stay in the hotel for one more day, they will share a little more of the monthly money, and who will be unhappy.
Afterwards, Jun Sai changed into a blue dress and went downstairs to eat.
In the city, the city lord's mansion.
The City Lord's Mansion is one of the largest houses in Tanyun City, with an area of thousands of acres.
And above the inner hall of the city lord's mansion, on a dark red solid wood bench, a man in official uniform, closed his eyes and rested.
Suddenly, a soldier burst in in a panic, "Report." ”
The person on the recliner slowly opened his eyes and said in a low voice: "Didn't I say, don't disturb my dreams if there is no big thing." ”
"Report to your lordship, something is wrong!"
"Big deal!" the man suddenly stood up and frowned, "What's the big deal?"
The soldier did not dare to raise his voice: "My lord, ten more people are missing in our city, and more than twenty people are dead, and the tragic death is even more terrible than before, and the crime happened last night." ”
"What!" the man couldn't sit still, and quickly shouted, "Come and prepare the horses." ”
At this moment, another soldier also ran over in a panic, knelt down and said, "Lord of the city, it's not good. Someone has come from above the main city, and I want the adults to receive him immediately. ”
At this time, the city lord panicked, and the two things collided together, like a thunderbolt from the sky, and hurriedly said: "Where are the people above?"
The soldier said, "We have arrived at the gate of the house." ”
"What! so fast. The lord of the city said, "Come on, prepare clothes!"
"No need!" a loud voice echoed through the inner hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
The city lord of Tanyun suddenly panicked, and looked at the person who came and was a little speechless, "Nan...... Nangong ..... Adults".
The person who came was the messenger sent by the main city to Tanyun City to understand, Nangong Pu, who is also the second son of Nangong Su, one of the three major families of the main city of Yuncheng, and the deputy imperial history of the Law Enforcement Department of Yuncheng.
The rights of the entire Yunzhou can be ranked as a high-ranking figure.
"Lord Zhang, you have been dead and embarrassed in this city for several days, I'm afraid there are hundreds of people!" Nangong Pu stood in front of Cheng Ping, the city leader, and his voice was loud, "You actually deceived your superiors and subordinates and lied about the number of people, do you know how far the situation has developed now?"
Zhang Chengping lowered his head and said, "Subordinate, no..."
"Shut up for me!" Zhang Chengping was directly interrupted before he finished speaking, and Nangong Pu said: "This matter, the Lord of Cloud City already knows about this matter, and he is very angry. So send me to fix this. And you are now retained as the city lord, and the right is now withdrawn, and now I have the final say in Tanyun City. ”
Nangong Pu is very tough and resolute, but now he is temporarily taking the position of the city lord.
"Subordinate, take orders. Zhang Chengping had no choice but to be obedient.
At noon, the main mansion of Tanyun City, the backyard, the dining room.
"Alas, brother, do you know? Our city lord was suspended, saying that it was a strange thing in the city, and it was known to the above, and then he sent someone down to solve the matter. And the lord of the city was scolded by the people above for lying about the incident. ”
"Really, who is the person from above? so powerful, dare to scold the lord of the attached city. ”
"It seems to be called, what, Nangong Pu's, it's quite young, it's just in his thirties. ”
"What! Nangong Pu!" the soldier who listened choked.
"Brother, what are you panicking about, eat slowly. Why, is Nangong Pu so scary?"
"I'll go, you don't even know this!
"What's the matter? Is this Nangong Pu very powerful?"
"Of course, this Nangong Pu is the deputy imperial history of the Law Enforcement Division of the main city, thirty-two years old, the second son of Nangong Su, the head of the Nangong family, and one of the leaders of the sons of the Yunzhou family, his eldest brother is the deputy commander of the Yuncheng Overseer, Nangong Ye, it is said that his eldest brother Nangong Ye's martial arts are very high. also has his favorite sister, Nangong Yunsheng, who is twenty-three years old. Nangong Yunshang is one of the personal disciples of the Water Moon Sect, one of the four major sects in Yunzhou, and more importantly, his sister is a heavenly immortal. ”
"I'll go, brother, how do you know so much?"
"You think I'm you. All day long, I know that I take some monthly money and go to the Qinglou, these things, I listen to the storyteller of the teahouse. ”
"Then next time, you can take me to listen too. ”
"No problem. ”
The two of them chatted hotly, and then a man in armor walked beside them, pointed at their heads with a steel gun, and shouted: "Don't go to the guard yet, what are you talking about here? Let me see that you two are lazy, and half of the monthly money will be deducted this month!"
The two smiled and said, "Other bosses, let's go now, just don't deduct the money." ”
"That's not going to get out of here!"
"Yes, yes, yes. ”
The so-called, the new official took office with three fires. Nangongpu not only adjusted the daily patrol order, but also sent more manpower to patrol the main roads.
"As soon as I find anyone who is lazy, I will be arrested and imprisoned. Nangong Pu said to his own soldiers.
"Yes. ”
"I'm going to catch it myself tonight, I'm going to see what's going on. Dare to be in my Yunzhou territory, this is not to live!" Nangong Pu said.
West of the city, Le Fang.
Carrying a long sword wrapped in cloth and dressed in green clothes, Jun Sai walked slowly on the streets of Lefang.
Here, green houses, restaurants, teahouses, clothing stores..... It's got it all.
After a while, Jun Sai came to the last place where the drunken show had appeared last night.
"It should be here. ”
Looking up, it was in front of a restaurant, called "Come Again".
At this time, the guy who came to the restaurant came out to greet him: "This guest officer, are you eating or staying in a hotel?"
Jun Sai said: "I don't live in the restaurant or eat, I just want to inquire about someone. ”
As soon as he heard that he was going to inquire about someone, the guy suddenly didn't have a good face, and said, "Get out, if you don't eat and live in the hotel, then you can get out, don't delay me in business." ”
Jun Sai was very helpless, and took out a piece of silver from his arms, which was as much as ten taels.
The guy was dumbfounded, and said in his heart: Rich master.
"Guest, what do you want to know? I must know everything, and I will say everything" The man stared at the silver in the hand of the king priest with dead eyes, and greeted him with a smile.
"Do you remember that last night, a showman was drinking at your place?" asked Jun Sai.
"Oh, what you're talking about, Wang Xiucai! I know this person, but he left when he was young, and I sent him to the door. ”
"And after that?"
"After that? not after. We're closed. ”
Jun Sai asked again: "Then did you hear it, what is the sound?" ”
The fellow thought about it for a while, and said, "I didn't hear the sound, but I saw that there seemed to be someone in the alley opposite us, as if he was drunk, and he was standing crookedly. ”
The priest said, "All right, the ingot of silver belongs to you." ”
"Thank you, Childe!" said the fellow.
When he arrived at the alley pointed out by the restaurant guys, Jun Sai smelled a smell of blood and the stench of rotting corpses.
This smell suddenly reminded me of the scene when I saw the master use the residual blood for the first time nine years ago.
"Could it be the Yin Master?"
Yin Master, the person who chased Miao Xian'er to the foot of the Dome Mountain nine years ago.
His corpse king is still fresh in his memory of the royal sacrifice.
Jun Sai went deep into the alley, but found that the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger.
"Oh no, someone was killed. ”
When the king priest walked to the corner of the alley, he was shocked to see a man with gray body and rotten muscles gnawing on the internal organs of a living person.
"Monster!
The cannibal stopped, and turned around. His face was rotten, maggots and flies were crawling, his face was bloodless, his face was pale, his face was sunken, his eyes were hollow, and two gray eyeballs looked at Jun Sai.
"Whew......"
Open your fanged mouth, the mucus in your mouth connected to your teeth, and pounced on the king.
"Cloudbreaker"
"Give it to me, break!"
A sword qi shot out......
Nangongpu was patrolling the streets at this time, and suddenly a soldier came to report.
"Report your lordship, someone reported that there is a smell of blood in the alley ahead!"
Nangong Pu was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly ordered: "Come on, surround me with all the music squares, and don't let me go a single fly!"
"Yes," the soldier behind him replied.
Hundreds of soldiers surrounded the music square, and even the people who were looking for fun in the Qinglou were in no mood. Many people leaned on the window curiously to watch.
Nangong Pu came to the door of the restaurant and asked, "Where is it?"
The soldier next to him pointed to the alley and said, "This is it." ”
Nangong Pu said: "Let's go, let's go in." ”
"My lord, are we really going in?" The soldier said in fear.
"Go in!" Nangong Pu said angrily: "In the future, I don't want to say my words twice!"
The soldier ordered: "In groups of five, go in turn." ”
"Protect your lords!" said the soldier.
Nangong Pu scolded: "A group of timid and afraid people, all give me a go, I'm first." ”
In this way, Nangong Pu took the lead, and the soldiers behind him followed.
