Chapter 69: Catching the Murderer
Feng Zhiling and Jin Yang finished talking about the arrangements for the evening while eating breakfast.
She checked Jin Yang's pulse, and found that his pulse was strong and powerful, and the toxicity had been completely lifted, and his body was stronger than before.
"I heard from your subordinates that your martial arts are strong, I don't know where your swordsmanship comes from?" Feng Zhiling asked.
"When I was a teenager, I was instructed by a master to teach me a set of swordsmanship, but I was not proficient in learning skills, and I couldn't understand the essence of swordsmanship at all, and I couldn't talk about martial arts. However, since becoming a red-haired demon, I feel that my strength is greater than that of ordinary people, perhaps because I took a lot of pills during Han Shen's imprisonment. Jin Yang said. Now when it comes to the red-haired demon, he is full of calmness.
Han Shen lurked beside Lian Mingxuan and had the opportunity to contact Shenwu Ding, and then asked Ling Xiao to borrow it, he must have stolen a lot of pills, and he didn't dare to eat them at will, so he took Jin Yang to test the medicine, the one that made Jin Yang directly turn into a red-haired demon was an imitation of the Yin and Yang Pill. Later, Jinyang's toxicity was lifted, but his physique became different from ordinary people due to long-term poisoning, and now it seems that it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
Feng Zhiling remembered something and asked, "The master you are talking about, but my master, the head of Xi?"
Jin Yang hesitated for a moment, and then quickly nodded: "Since Miss Lanxi is the apprentice of the Immortal Chief, I have nothing to hide." Back then, the Venerable Master once instructed me not to be casual to outsiders, and I once practiced swordsmanship with him, and also told me not to show my martial arts at will. Xi Xian Chang asked for this, perhaps because he felt that my qualifications were dull, and he was afraid that speaking out would damage his reputation. β
"My master wouldn't think so. Feng Zhiling smiled, "He may have other reasons, but it's just inconvenient to mention it." β
"Well, Miss Lanxi is right. Jin Yang also grinned.
Jin Yang asked if he needed to call more people to help at night, but Feng Zhiling refused: "They are all ordinary people, and it is inconvenient to have more people." You can be with me alone. β
Jin Yang looked at Feng Zhiling thoughtfully and nodded.
During the day, Jin Yang opened a room in the inn for Feng Zhiling, and she happened to recuperate from her internal injuries that had not fully recovered. Because of the excessive blood loss, her face is usually pale.
When it was about to fall into the night, Feng Zhiling wore a big black cloak and stood in the dark on the top floor of the drum tower in Ning County, observing the movements around him. Jin Yang also wore night clothes and hid in the corner of the drum tower.
At that time, there was a sound outside the city. When a dozen young men who had been called over as bait pretended to be pedestrians passing by the stone bridge on the outskirts of the city, the four murderers appeared ghostly.
Just as they were about to make a move, a white line suddenly flew in and quickly blocked in front of the dozen or so people, blocking their blades back one by one.
The four of them paused, stood still as if thinking about something, and suddenly turned around and left.
Feng Zhiling would let them escape, she landed in the air and immediately chased after her, blocking in front of the four people.
Only then did she take a closer look at the faces of the four of them.
There are indeed seven or eight points like the four demon envoys, but the skin is pale, the face is stiff, the eyes are extremely black, and there is an indescribable madness. The blade in his hand is very similar to the blade of the four demon envoys.
"I didn't expect that even the blades could be imitated so similarly. Feng Zhi thought to herself, "No wonder Lan Jiu must have been injured by her soul-suffocating technique." β
Feng Zhiling pulled out the Lock Spirit Whip and stabbed at "Di Kun" without hesitation.
"Di Kun" did not change his face and dodged, but the Seven Absolute Aya was waiting for him on the side.
The skills of these four people were far inferior to the real four demon envoys, and Feng Zhiling's mana recovered by seventy or eighty percent, and it only took half an hour to take them all down.
At this time, Jin Yang had already rushed over and brought the dozen or so people back to the city, so as to avoid letting them see the bloody battle scene.
When he returned, the four people had been tied together by Feng Zhiling with a white silk and couldn't break away.
He couldn't help but admire: "Miss Lanxi, you are so powerful!"
Feng Zhiling no longer avoided Jin Yang, and directly used spells on the four people. A cloud of white smoke gathered from her palm and enveloped the four people, then she walked up to them, stared at them fiercely and asked, "Who are you?"
She didn't use "you", but "you", Jin Yang was stunned when she heard it.
The four of them suddenly let out a weird laugh at the same time, the sound was neat like a person, and what was even more weird was that the four of them had been bound, but there was no panic and panic on their faces.
"When death is on the verge of death, you are still so arrogant!" Jin Yang cried.
"Huh. They are not afraid of death," Feng Zhiling snorted lightly, glanced at Jin Yang, and said coldly, "Because they have died a long time ago." β
As soon as Feng Zhiling's words fell, a trace of black smoke suddenly came out of the black eyes of the four people, like an ancient corpse that had been frozen for thousands of years suddenly emitted corpse poison, Feng Zhiling suddenly felt bad, and shouted to Jin Yang who was walking towards them: "Hurry up!"
Feng Zhiling retracted the Seven Peerless Silk as fast as he could, violently entangled Jin Yang, and threw him out of ten zhang with his mana.
At the same time, only a loud "bang" was heard - those four people exploded at the same time!
Suddenly, the flames of the entire stone bridge soared into the sky, the smoke and dust covered the sun, the black fog rolled, and Feng Zhiling's whole person was shrouded in the dust and mist of the explosion, and suddenly disappeared.
After Jin Yang was thrown out by the Seven Absolute Ayas, he was lucky to be outside the huge smoke, and was opened up by the heat wave of the explosion. He staggered to his feet from his fright, realizing that Feng Zhiling had put himself in danger in order to save her!
He rushed into the billowing smoke and dust without hesitation, but the Seven Absolute Aya tied him up hard, he ran a few steps and was still in place, so he tried hard to tear Bai Aya apart, but Bai Aya suddenly let go of himself, and he stumbled into the smoke of the unfinished fire.
"Lan Xi girl! Lan Xi ......" When he saw Feng Zhiling lying on the ground, he also fainted.
*
"Ling'er!" it was Lan Yuan who arrived.
When he saw Feng Zhiling who fell to the ground, his heart rose to his throat, and he immediately formed a magic seal to disperse the black smoke, gently picked up Feng Zhiling, and put her on a clean grass, letting her lean against her chest.
Lan Yuan poured mana into Feng Zhiling's chest and abdomen, and found that she was fine, so he relieved himself and took a breath.
Fortunately, Feng Zhiling used the remaining mana to protect her heart veins at the time of the explosion, so she was not seriously injured, but the sudden explosion was too strong, and the black mist was poisonous, so she passed out.
Lan Yuan saw that the wound on her wrist had been shattered, and bright red blood flowed out, soaking the original piece of cloth red. He took apart the old cloth and threw it away, and a bloody wound appeared in front of him, making his eyes jump twiceβthe wound changed from one to two.
He guessed the reason, and immediately reapplied the trauma medicine specially brought out from Taiyi Gate to Feng Zhiling, and took out a white handkerchief to tie the wound. He wiped off the dirty black soil on Feng Zhiling's body, held her hand tightly, and waited for her to wake up.
His eyes fell on the ashes left by the explosion not far away, and he unconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly, gritting the back of his teeth.
On the face that has always been cold, the chill invades people at this time.
*
Lan Yuan sat quietly, kissing the forehead of the person in her arms from time to time, gently caressing her face, and finally, her eyelashes fluttered and she woke up.
"Senior brother?" Feng Zhiling's eyes changed from confused to clear, and asked, "You...... Coming?"
"I heard what you left for me with the sound snail, and I settled Lan Jiu and them, so I came over. Lan Yuan said softly.
Feng Zhiling sat up and left Lan Yuan's embrace, glancing at the direction of Jin Yang's fainting and the remnants of the explosion.
The bones of the four men were long gone, leaving only some charred bones, skin and hair, charred clothes, and a large pit.
Jin Yang fainted from poisoning. Lan Yuan said, "This poison did not endanger his life, probably because he had eaten a lot of erysipelas before." β
Feng Zhiling breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up, but found that she was weak.
"Your poison has not yet been cured. Lan Yuan held her.
Feng Zhiling took out a green medicine bottle and took a pill, walked to Jin Yang's side with Lan Yuan's support, fed him a pill, and then got up and walked towards the pile of embers with Lan Yuan's support.
From the charred black fragments on the ground, Feng Zhiling picked up a mutilated skull, rubbed off the charred black on it with his hands, and the white background was exposed, and the bones were extremely loose, with many fine holes, not at all like the skull of a person who had just died, but like a corpse that had been dead for many years. She picked up another leg bone and found that it was the same.
The surface of these remnants of bone showed no signs of flesh adhesion except for the charred black surface. If the fire was too strong, the skin and flesh were burned to ashes, but there were many burnt and charred human skins on the ground.
Feng Zhiling put together the remaining fragments of bones and human skins, and was able to put together the corpses of the four clubs, and found that all the bones and human skins were actually separated.
Lan Yuan helped Feng Zhiling pick it up together, he knew what she was thinking, although he had guessed it just now, but at this moment he still accompanied her to confirm the thoughts in his heart.
"Bones in human skin. Feng Zhiling said as he stood in front of the pile of broken bones.
At this time, Jin Yang woke up, he stood up with his forehead shaky, and walked a few steps to Feng Zhiling's side but found that his head was dizzy, but he didn't care, and said with relief: "Miss Lanxi, you're okay, great! It's really dangerous just now, I thought you were blown up, then I must die of guilt! β
"Jin Yang, you sit down and rest first, don't move. Feng Zhiling said.
"Jin Yang Gongzi, you have been poisoned by the residual poison of smoke, although my little junior sister gave you an antidote just now, but there are still toxins that have not been cleared, you should be weak now, it is useless to be hyperactive, it is better to sit and rest. Lan Yuan helped persuade.
"Okay, then I'll sit down and wait for you, and listen to your arrangement. Jin Yang obediently sat down on the spot.
*
"What does Senior Brother mean is that this matter may have something to do with the Yishan Sect?" Feng Zhiling asked.
"The Yishan faction is good at manipulating dolls or similar alternatives with talismans, but they have never heard of them being able to wrap human skin around bones and make human dolls. Lan Yuan said, "The human skin puppet is so human-like, and it also places * and poison in the human skin puppet, but the Yishan faction is not good at making poison. β
"If it's not the Yishan Sect, then who would it be? Could it be that someone has secretly learned the Yishan Sect's puppet control technique?" Feng Zhiling guessed.
"When each sect's secret technique is selected to inherit disciples, it is generally very cautious, and it is difficult for it to be stolen by outsiders. Even if the secret technique is stolen, if you can't cultivate the method, you won't be able to cultivate to the upper realm of the secret technique. If you only understand the superficial exercises, it is easy to see through. Lan Yuan explained seriously, "However, what you said is not impossible. β
"It's a pity that these four people have been blown to pieces, and they can't tell if it's a real puppet control technique. After Feng Zhiling finished speaking, he glanced at Lan Yuan, and his eyes moved.
