Zhu Nu died, but the content of the Shadow Stone record was not finished.

After about thirty breaths after Zhu Nu died, her body quickly weathered into red sand, and the clothes and other belongings she left behind were burned to ashes in the blink of an eye by a cluster of nameless fire.

Gu Xiaojun was stunned by this change, and almost fell to the ground without throwing the child left by Zhu Nu.

Xiaotong Zhang Yao is a boy who is only seventeen or eighteen years old, although he is good at taking care of various chores, but he has never seen much blood, and he rarely even goes to the trial peak, this time he saw Zhu Nu's strange death, he was really frightened, and with a shake of his hand, he activated the talisman, and dragged Gu Xiaojun into the range of the Xiaoning Mountain Mountain Protection Array like a rabbit.

The picture is finally fixed on the red sand and black ashes left by Zhu Nu, Gu Liang rubs the shadow stone, and always feels that this scene is familiar.

The monk never forgot it, but just a few thoughts turned, and Gu Liang remembered a past event.

In the past, she successfully advanced to the late stage of Jindan and left the Chaos Sea, and was given a Trapped-City Lord's Order by the Red Clothes, and also took over the handling of the Trapped-City Prison.

In prison, Gu Liang saw the incarnation of Li Xingsu from the Yunyao Great World, because he had bad intentions, he killed him with a sword, and the corpse also turned into fine sand after death, the color was not red, but gray-white.

Zhu Nu is just an ordinary mortal in the Divine Desolate World, will she have something to do with Li Xingsu, who is not low in cultivation?

Gu Liang looked at Gu Xiaojun, seeing that his face was still a little pale, thinking that this young man was only a thirteen-year-old child, he softened his voice to comfort him.

Gu Xiaojun has always regarded Gu Liang as an object of worship, and when he was young and sensitive, his face turned red in an instant, and he hurriedly defended himself: "Auntie, I'm not afraid, really!" ”

Gu Liang smiled, casually pinched a meditation trick to stabilize his uneasy mood, and said: "Zhu Nu is probably in some kind of uncommon evil cultivation spell, you didn't take that child up the mountain, and you didn't easily respond to Zhu Nu's request, this is the right approach." ”

"Evil Spells?" Gu Xiaojun exclaimed, "Could it be that she has something to do with evil cultivation?" ”

As a teenager who grew up with a traditional monk's education, Gu Xiaojun understood the horror of evil cultivation better than Gu Liang back then, and took a respectful attitude towards evil cultivation and everything else.

Gu Liang put the Lingering Stone in his pocket and said, "Maybe it's related, you also told the Law Enforcement Hall about this matter, and it won't take long to know the result." ”

At the foot of Xiaoning Mountain, the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall had arrived, and the leader was Gu Liang's former senior brother Chang Yi, who was using secret techniques with another True Monarch to retrace Zhu Nu's entire experience from appearance to death.

Chang Yi was also a victim of the alliance's ambitions, because he married earlier than geniuses such as Ling Zixia and Gu Xian, and was the leader of the younger generation of the Qiankun faction, so he was deliberately targeted by the alliance monks, and he needed to recuperate in the sect for twenty or thirty years before he could leave any hidden dangers in his cultivation.

After recuperating from his injuries, Chang Yi didn't want to do a boring retreat, and he had been helping to deal with all kinds of trivial things in the Law Enforcement Hall, like a mortal suddenly appeared in Xiao Ningshan, and he died very strangely, there was no need to bother the high-level disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall in this matter, and ordinary disciples couldn't handle it well, so they would send him forward.

"How?" Gu Liang stepped forward and asked, "Is this matter related to evil cultivation?" ”

Chang Yi shook his head and said, "It's not clear for the time being. This Zhu Nu seemed to appear out of thin air, and for a while, we couldn't find any useful clues. ”

"Doesn't she live in the sect?"

"Nope. After you left the sect back then, Zhu Nu was probably afraid that Mozhu Zhenjun would deal with her, so she ran to the Western Desert in one breath, lived incognito, and gave birth to a pair of children. But eight years ago, all four of them were killed by bandits rampant in the desert, and their bodies were burned to charcoals. ”

Chang Yi looked at the red sand and black ashes on the grass, and said: "Mozhu Zhenjun will not pay attention to a mortal, and our Law Enforcement Hall did not send someone to keep an eye on it, but just recorded her general experience in the file, as for the authenticity of the file, this has yet to be ascertained." ”

"Uncle Sun, can't tell from the backtracking picture whether she is the real Zhu Nu?" Gu Liang looked at Sun Tao, the Yuanying True Monarch who was standing side by side with Chang Yi.

Sun Tao shook his head: "I think she is a living person, but whether she is a living person or not, we have to wait for news from the West Desert." ”

Zhu Nu and his wife are usually okay, but the remains of their tragic death were collected and buried in the tomb by their neighbors, and the Law Enforcement Hall has notified the disciples in the Ximo area to go to the tomb and open the coffin to verify the identity.

Gu Liang handed the shadow stone to Chang Yi and went to see Zhu Nu's child.

The child had been born less than half an hour into the world, and she did not know that her mother had died, and after eating her fill, she was wrapped in a small blanket and slept soundly and sweetly.

Arranged by Chang Yi to take care of the child was Mo Zhenzhen, who was dressed in the clothes of an outer disciple, this girl in the Qi refining period had just run to the Imperial Beast Peak and brought a lactating spirit beast to feed the hungry and crying baby.

"This spirit beast lost her only child in an accident last night, and she didn't want to leave after feeding, so she insisted on staying by her side." Mo Zhenzhen explained.

Gu Liang glanced at the female beast lying beside the child with a loving look, and reached out to brush it overhead.

The she-beast tilted her head and fell limply to the ground, and after a while she let out a small snoring sound.

Gu Liang moved the female beast out a little, and the seal of his hands performed a secret technique to purify filth, and suddenly there was a faint red fire spreading on the little baby's body.

Mo Zhenzhen was taken aback, and thought that Gu Liang's hot hand was ruthless and wanted to extinguish his mouth, but when he looked at it, those red fires did not hurt the little baby at all, and the phantom did not reveal the slightest heat.

When the flames reached the baby's head, the baby suddenly burst into tears, and there was a sizzling sound from the fire, like a piece of raw meat suddenly falling on a red-hot iron plate.

Gu Liang quickly sealed, and the red fire turned into a frost-like lifeless white.

Mo Zhenzhen only glanced at it, and then felt that his soul was about to be frozen, and hurriedly looked away, but when he thought of the little baby, he turned his head and opened his eyes wide.

The little baby in the fire cried loudly, as if in terrible pain, even though the frost fire did not hurt even a single of her hair.

Sun Tao heard the movement, walked into the room and asked, "Rong Su, what's going on?" ”

"There's something dirty on her, it could be an evil possession, or it could be a curse." Gu Liang replied as he calmly changed the magic technique in his hand, replacing the foreign fire used for purification with a purple heavenly fire.

The purple heavenly fire is the nemesis of evil things, but its essence is domineering and strong, even if it is controlled by magic tricks, the difficulty of purifying evil things without harming small babies is still comparable to the Taoist lotus style that is cast with heavenly fire.

In addition, Gu Liang also needs to take into account the endurance of the little baby and purify it a little bit, otherwise if the purification fails, the person concerned will be killed, and she will be infected with the sin of killing mortals.

As the purifying flame further strengthened, the little baby's cry became more and more miserable, and Mo Zhenzhen's face was full of unbearable when he heard it, but he didn't open his mouth to let Gu Liang stop.

If the purification is stopped, it is a hidden danger for the baby to stay.

Gu Liang knew this better than anyone else, she didn't plan to take this baby as a disciple, nor did she think about raising it under her knees, but Zhu Nu named and said that she wanted to leave this child to her, thinking about the master and servant back then, and helping this time was considered a good deed.

The filth attached to the baby's body is so stubborn that even the purest heavenly fire in the world will not be able to burn it clean for a while.

Chang Yi also walked in, and when he saw the fine sweat on Gu Liang's forehead, he quietly did not disturb her.

After an hour and three quarters of an hour had passed, Gu Liang played the last trick, took back the purple heavenly fire one by one, and said, "Okay." ”

Mo Zhenzhen hurriedly woke up the mother beast and asked it to nurse the crying little baby.

Chang Yi handed Gu Liang a white handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and said, "Just now, the doppelganger of the Qiankun Eight Treasure Mirror came and said that Zhu Nu came back instantly through a rune made by a certain True Venerable of our sect, which is a normal channel, so I didn't alarm it." ”

A genius such as the nine-grade rune master Fu Yue can't draw a rune, Zhu Nu is a mortal, where does the rune come from?

Gu Liang is a monk, and he only needs to pinch a magic trick to refresh and clean his whole body, and he doesn't need to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief, but Chang Yi was kind enough to take it and asked, "Does the Qiankun Eight Treasure Mirror know which True Venerable handed down that rune?" ”

Chang Yi's eyes became a little strange, and he said, "I don't know." Secretly, he sent a message to Gu Liang's consciousness, "It's Jiujia Zhenzun, she was not in the Divine Wilderness many years ago, and it is said that she went to other big worlds to seek a breakthrough. ”

As a disciple of the sect, Gu Liang knew that there was a Jiujia Zhenzun in the sect, and replied: "Jiujia Zhenzun is a wine cultivator, and I haven't heard anyone say that she is good at talismans. ”

Chang Yi continued to consciously speak: "I don't know the situation yet, maybe she learned the talisman outside." ”

Ending the consciousness transmission that only the two of them knew, Chang Yi spoke: "There is also news from the Western Desert, one of the four remains in the tomb does belong to Zhu Nu, the cause of death is excessive blood loss after being wounded by a knife, plus the broken rib pierced the lung, and half an hour after death, her body was burned by mortal fire. ”

Sun Tao was taken aback and said, "The Zhu girl who came to our sect is not a living person?" ”

Chang Yi gave a negative answer: "It's a living person, and the judgment of the Qiankun Eight Treasure Mirror will not be wrong." ”

A group of people in the room were confused, and guessed, "Could it be that she is pretending to be someone else?" ”

"It's not." Chang Yi affirmed, "It was Zhu Nu in the tomb, and it was also Zhu Nu who came to the foot of Xiaoning Mountain, but the Zhu Nu in the tomb did not leave even a trace of divine soul breath, it was just a useless flesh shell, which could be easily controlled by people with puppetry." ”

In this world, mortals do not immediately start reincarnation after death, their dead spirits will hover around their corpses, and they will not leave completely until the end of the Hundred Days Festival.

With the means of a monk, it is very easy to know if there is a remnant of divine soul breath in the mortal tomb.

"So, she was dropped early?" Sun Tao raised his eyebrows and raised doubts at the right time, "Zhu Nu is just an ordinary mortal, the monk wants her to die, there are countless ways to do it without knowing it, so why bother to use puppetry to control her to live in the Western Desert for more than ten years." ”

Chang Yi looked at Gu Liang and said, "In fact, there is a divine soul breath left in Zhu Nu's tomb. If it weren't for the classics brought back by Rong Su that recorded a special secret technique, maybe we were really deceived by him, and thought that the Zhu Nu who came to the sect was disguised by someone else. ”

The fine sand turned into Zhu Nu's corpse did not leave any clues, it looked like a very ordinary and ordinary fine sand, and there was no fragment of her divine soul.

"They spent so much effort on the arrangement, just to make us think that Zhu Nu is dead?" Gu Liang purified the sweaty handkerchief with flames, carefully folded it and returned it to Chang Yi, "I think, most of the people in the West Desert can't find useful clues." ”

Chang Yi said: "This has to wait until after checking to know, and I can't make a judgment now." ”

"Then I'll tell you what I know." Gu Liang had a more "rigorous" impression of Chang Yi, stood up and said, "This child has been planted with an extremely difficult curse, and this curse cannot be completely eradicated, unless the source of the curse can be found and destroyed. In addition, if it weren't for the unknown mutation of my alien fire caused by the frost and ice flames, which specializes in restraining filthy things, I might not have been able to detect the existence of the curse. ”

If she didn't have the Purple Heavenly Fire in her body, if the Purple Heavenly Fire didn't restrain the evil things, even if the Avatar True Venerable personally inspected it, she wouldn't be able to find the curse on the child's body.

Mo Zhenzhen exclaimed and shouted, "It's too vicious! She's just a child, and she doesn't even know if she has a spiritual root, so why would she plant such a terrible curse on her! ”

Although Sun Tao is a well-informed Yuanying Zhenjun who has lived for more than a thousand years, his mood at this time is the same as Mo Zhenzhen, looking at the little baby lying in the arms of the mother beast drinking milk, his eyes are particularly pitying: "Her life is not good." ”

Chang Yi appeared calmer than they did, asking, "What if the curse is not discovered?" ”

"I don't know, I'll have to ask the elders who are good at spells." Gu Liang said, she thought of Zhu Chenyi, this person was an evil cultivator who was proficient in the art of curses, but he didn't have the courage to come to the Qiankun Sect.

Chang Yi also thought of someone and said: "Yi Nai Zhenjun has been in Nanling for hundreds of years, and has a very good relationship with the local indigenous tribes, and he is still in contact with each other, so he may be able to see something." ”

Zhu Nu's appearance was too weird, especially since she used the rune written by Jiujia Zhenzun to directly enter the Qiankun sect, and the location was very accurately located at the foot of Xiaoning Mountain.

It is related to Jiujia Zhenzun, who has lost contact with the sect for thousands of years, even if it is a trivial matter, it must be made clear and thorough.

"What about the pendant? Is there a problem with the pendant? Chang Yi asked about the only item that Zhu Nu left behind.

This is a very ordinary jade pendant, in the shape of light blue droplets, if it is placed in the mundane, about a dozen spirit beads can be bought, and it is not valuable.

Gu Liang had already burned it with the Heavenly Fire and didn't find anything wrong.

Chang Yi didn't underestimate it because of this, and took out a seal box dedicated to preserving dangerous things, intending to show it to the more knowledgeable Yuanying True Monarchs.

As for that child, because only Gu Liang could purify the curse on her body, she could only be kept by Gu Liang's side for the time being, and Zhu Nu's goal of letting Gu Liang take in apprentices was indeed half achieved, if no accident happened.
