Chapter 68: Clues

"The Soul Eater has been broken, and the Soul Eater has fled. Feng Zhiling didn't answer Ling Xiao's words, turned her head and got up, and said in a light tone, "I still have something to do, go first, you can heal well." ”

Ling Xiao moved his lips, wanted to say something but didn't speak, and watched Feng Zhiling leave the dormitory, his eyes full of reluctance. He thought that Feng Zhiling's "leaving" was probably to leave the demon world from now on, but he didn't have the face to keep her anymore.

It was late at night, Feng Zhiling walked out of the dormitory, walked out of the courtyard door, and saw the four people of Earth, Feng, Shui and Huo standing neatly at the door. It turned out that they heard from their subordinates that the female dignity had returned, so they immediately gathered and waited outside the courtyard.

"Exactly, you're all here. Feng Zhiling thought to herself, I don't need to go to you one by one.

"Lady, how is the Lord?" asked Huoli as he opened his mouth.

"There's nothing wrong with him, it's just that his mana is damaged and he needs to recuperate. Feng Zhiling briefly talked about Ling Xiao's situation. In fact, Ling Xiao's mana was severely damaged, and it took a year and a half at worst and a hundred days at least to fully recover.

"Nuzun, are you alright?" Di Kun asked, "Those immortal sects, do you have any questions to ask you?"

Feng Zhiling's eyes looked over their faces one by one, and the four of them began to get a little hairy. The four of them waited for the female to speak, but Feng Zhiling only said one sentence for a long time: "You come with me." ”

The four of them followed Feng Zhiling out of the apse in confusion and came to the Tianxiao Palace, Feng Zhiling walked to the black jade carved dragon chair at the head of the main hall and sat down, staring at the four people under the seat with a serious face.

Di Kun opened his mouth and asked, "Did the Lady have something to tell the four of us?"

"Tell me, I'm not here these days, what happened in the Heavenly Demon Palace. Feng Zhiling asked coldly.

"These days......" Dikun thought for a moment and said, "everything is going on as usual, nothing special has happened. The subordinates visited the lord's dormitory every day, and then went back to the house to heal. The same is true for Huoli, Zewu, and Xunfeng. ”

"How many days have you been in the Heavenly Demon Palace?" Feng Zhiling asked.

"Hui Nuzun, yes. The four replied in unison.

Feng Zhiling took out the Lock Spirit Whip from Qiankun's sleeve and swept it in front of the four people, as if moving her arms at will: "I'll talk about it after thinking clearly." ”

When the Locking Spirit Whip suddenly swept in front of the four of them, the four of them took a deep breath and broke out in a cold sweat.

Feng Zhiling had already broken through the eleventh palace of the Earth Demon Palace, which was on par with Ling Xiao in his heyday, and his mana had already surpassed them by a large margin.

They didn't dare to lie in front of Feng Zhiling anymore, so they lowered their heads and squinted at each other a few times, and Di Kun confessed: "Back to the lord, subordinates...... Went out once. ”

"Daughter, we didn't mean to disobey your orders, but we were too worried about your safety...... Huo Li said in a hurry.

"Don't rush to talk, tell me clearly, what's going on!" Feng Zhiling shouted.

Huo Lishuang thought for a moment, but he didn't expect the woman to get angry, just as scary.

Di Kun hurriedly explained: "After you were taken away by Xianmen that day, the four of us were worried about you, so we quietly went to Taiyi Mountain in the early morning of the next day to investigate your situation, wanting to ...... Want to save you...... It's a pity that Taiyi Gate was under martial law at that time, and all four of us were seriously injured, and our mana was weakened, so we didn't dare to break into Taiyi Gate for fear that it would startle the snake, but it would be unfavorable to you. Later, he returned to the Heavenly Demon Palace. ”

"Have you been to Taiyi Gate?" Feng Zhiling asked.

"The subordinates are guilty!" Di Kun heard Feng Zhiling's question, and quickly knelt down, and the other three followed.

On the day of the melee between the immortals and demons in Liufengpo, before Feng Zhiling was taken away by the Xianmen, he ordered the people of the Demon Realm not to leave the Demon Realm easily and oppose the Xianmen. And they sneaked into Taiyi Mountain without permission, and tried in vain to rescue Feng Zhiling from the Xianmen, completely violating Feng Zhiling's orders.

Feng Zhiling was just puzzled that they would want to rescue her from the Xianmen with the meager strength of the four of them, and at that time, Ling Xiao had already been sealed by him, and the four of them had privately decided to take risks for her.

Seeing the four of them kneeling on the ground, she hadn't asked what she wanted to know, so she said again: "Since you came back from Taiyi Mountain, you have never been out of the Heavenly Demon Palace?"

"Back to the Nuzun, the subordinates never left the Heavenly Demon Palace, and the Nuzun came back by herself on the third day, and there is no need for us to go to the Xianmen again. Dikun replied.

"If there is a word you just said that is false," Feng Zhiling waved the Lock Spirit Whip and slashed in front of Di Kun, "You know the consequences. ”

"The subordinates definitely didn't lie this time!" When Di Kun raised his hand to kowtow to the ground, his two arms were finished*

The two sleeves of the original three-layered garment were torn from the cuffs to the shoulder bones, neatly opening as if the clothes were originally the same style.

Feng Zhiling said gloomily: "However, someone has seen you kill people in Ning County. ”

"Ningxian, murder?" The four of them were puzzled.

Feng Zhiling saw that the reaction of these four people did not look like a lie.

"Impossible, Female Venerable, if we want to kill someone, it won't be at this time, isn't that intensifying the contradiction between the Immortal Sect and the Immortal Gate?Not to mention that the Venerable Lord is injured, you are not in the Heavenly Demon ......Palace," Zewu said.

"There are sects in the Immortal Sect that are good at disguise techniques, and some people may deliberately impersonate us. Dikun said.

"Daughter, we have never done murder before, if it is really us, there is no need to hide it and dare not admit it. Xun Feng raised his head, and when he spoke, he inevitably had a bewitching atmosphere, even if he knelt on the ground at the moment, he still twisted his flexible and soft waist.

Feng Zhiling had long been accustomed to the appearance of Xun Feng, and thought that they were reasonable, someone pretended to be a senior brother to kill her, and someone pretended to be her to kill Lan Jiu, even if someone really pretended to be the Four Demon Envoys, it was not impossible.

But why did this man pretend to be the Four Demon Envoys?

It turns out that the reason why those people did not kill the victims directly was to deliberately spare them so that they could tell the appearance of the person who killed them?

Is this the same group of people who pretend to be the elder brother and themselves?

The senior brother has not asked about Lan Jiu's injury, he must have known in his heart, knowing that the person who stabbed Lan Jiu must have deliberately impersonated her, so as to intensify the conflict between her and Taiyi Sect and even Xianmen.

And if this time the people are the same group, pretending to be the four demon envoys to kill ordinary people when the relationship between immortals and demons is tense, is it also to intensify the grievances of immortals and demons?

What's in it for them?

Seeing that Feng Zhiling was deep in thought, the four of them didn't dare to speak again.

Feng Zhiling got up from the first seat, walked in front of the four people, first reached out and grabbed Di Kun's wrist and touched it, then grabbed his wrist, and tapped his chest a few times, and then pulled Huo Li's left arm, rolled up his sleeve and found a large black blue purulent wound on his left arm, her expression was a little solemn, and she tapped hard twice on his shoulder bone, and then took out a bottle of medicine from Qiankun's sleeve and handed it to Huo Li, saying, "Take two pills a day." ”

After speaking, he walked to Zewu and Xunfeng, touched their wrists for them, took out a bottle of medicine and handed it to Xunfeng, and said, "Zewu's flesh injury is fine, and it will be better in ten days." Xunfeng is poisoned, you take this medicine, take one pill every two hours, and see how it is after a day. ”

The four of them thought that they were going to be dealt with by the female respect, but they didn't expect Feng Zhiling to just take their pulse, she relieved the internal injury of the Qimen palm of the Qishan Lu Sect for Di Kun, sealed the poison of Huoli and continued to spread, and saw that Zewu was only injured by the sword, and the cartilage incense of the Sushan faction in the Xunfeng - a powdered poison that will gradually weaken the body after inhaling a large dose, and is prone to obscenity. Xunfeng's weapon is an iron bone fan, and it is estimated that someone used his hands and feet without knowing it, and he waved the fan, and as a result, he poured his own poison.

The four of them were very movedβ€”especially Xun Feng, who had been tortured by this poison for the past few days, and had eaten many antidotes, but he could only suppress it for a few hours, and the toxicity would increase at night, and he would burn himself, so that he couldn't suppress it every time he saw Di Kun, and his mind was almost sluggish.

"But my medicine can only suppress the toxicity for you temporarily, and it can't cure the poison. Feng Zhiling said, "I will find a way to get the antidote for you, and the fire is closest to Xun Feng, so as not to strengthen the poison." So is Dikun. ”

"β€”I'm going out to investigate this. You go and check if there are any Demon Realm disciples who have gone out to make trouble. But if you find something, don't spare it. After Feng Zhiling finished speaking, he left the Tianxiao Palace.

The horizon was dawning, and Feng Zhiling came to the stone bridge where the seven men had been injured, carefully checking for any possible clues.

The men were probably brought closer to the city by Jin Yang, and there were traces of blood left behind by them in the stars, and she looked down carefully around the area, and finally found a skin-like sheet the size of a fingernail on a piece of grass.

Feng Zhiling took out a handkerchief, picked up the skin, and shone in the golden light of the morning light, confirming that it was a piece of human skin. This piece of skin is paler than ordinary human skin, and the shape of the corners should be cut by a sharp blade.

The inside of this piece of skin is extremely clean, and it does not stain a single piece of flesh and blood, and it is perfect like a piece of fake skin that has been polished. This should not be the victim of those few victims.

She remembered that Jin Yang had said that he had stabbed one of the murderers with a sword, but he had not seen the murderer bleed. Seeing this piece of skin, Feng Zhiling suddenly had a whimsical idea - could it be that those people wore full-body human skin masks?

Guessing was useless, she immediately got up and crossed the stone bridge and entered the city of Ningxian County.

*

"Miss Lanxi?" Jin Yang got up in the morning and finished washing, and just went downstairs from the room to have breakfast, but he didn't expect Feng Zhiling to be sitting in the lobby on the first floor eating. He took the initiative to walk over and asked, "Miss Lanxi came back so soon, could it be that the girl also stayed at this inn last night?"

"I just arrived. Feng Zhiling replied that she had never explained her real name to Jin Yang, so he, like Lan Chengyi, still called her Lan Xi. After listening to a few Lan Xi, she always unconsciously remembered Lan Chengyi.

Jin Yang sat next to Feng Zhiling, asked for a mandarin fish porridge, four dishes of side dishes, a cage of crab roe pockets, a bowl of shredded chicken wontons, and a mille-feuille shortbread, and asked Feng Zhiling what else he needed to eat, Feng Zhiling shook his head and said that he was almost ready, so he asked Xiao Er to serve the food.

"Miss Lanxi's hand ......" Jin Yang was about to ask with concern, and when he looked down and saw that Feng Zhiling's left wrist hanging beside him was oozing blood again, he exclaimed, "Why is it still bleeding?"

"I just went to see the seven victims and fed them a little blood. Feng Zhiling said.

"Miss Lanxi should cherish herself. If Immortal He knew, he would definitely be distressed. Though your blood can save them, it should be done in moderation. Jin Yang said, "Is that girl here to find me?"

Jin Yang could see that Lan Yuan was not ordinary to her.

Feng Zhiling smiled faintly, in response, she said, "I asked people about you here, so I came to look for you." Those four murderers are not my entourage, someone should have deliberately impersonated them to commit the murder. My brother and I didn't meet with them last night, they probably didn't know we were here, they weren't prepared for us, and if there was no accident, they would have continued to kill people tonight. You've been following them for a few nights, and I don't think they're afraid of you, and as long as the seven died on time last night like their previous victims, they won't notice anything unusual. Just in case, I have given the seven victims fake death medicine, let them fake their deaths when the time comes, and park their fake death "corpses" in Yizhuang, so that their families will not make a noise. They don't want to kill quietly, so we'll wait and take them down. ”

"Miss Lanxi, listen to you. Jin Yang said.

"β€”here's a piece of skin I found on the spot, look at it. Feng Zhiling took out a handkerchief and opened it and placed it in front of Jin Yang.

"There are still discoveries on the scene? Miss Lanxi is really much more careful than me. Jin Yang pinched his skin, looked at it, rubbed it, and said, "Why is it so smooth?" It looks like a ...... Human skin mask. ”

"Well, I thought so too. ”

At this time, Xiao Erjun brought it over early, Jin Yang wiped his hands casually on his body, then picked up the shortbread and took a bite.

β€œ...... You don't wash your hands?" asked Feng Zhiling.

Jin Yang: "Forget it, don't be afraid, when I was a red-haired demon before, I ate raw meat and even belt bones." ”

Feng Zhiling thought to herself, this Jin Yang sometimes has a noble son's style, such as living in the most upscale inn in Ning County, ordering a bunch of the most expensive signature food here for breakfast, but he didn't mind taking the food with the hand that had just touched the human skin.
