Chapter VII: Homicide
Hearing Zhang Zifan's call, Ji Ruxi flashed beside him. "What are you calling me?"
"Ru Xi, I found the clue of the tear crystal." Zhang Zifan excitedly raised the book in his hand. "If the record is correct, it's not lost, but it's always there, at the ends of the earth."
Ji Ruxi nodded, the imperial aura on Chu Zhehan's body was very strong, and he couldn't move him for the time being. Only when you find the tear crystal and have no worries can you do it.
"Where the ends of the earth are, no one has ever mentioned it to me." Ji Ruxi's words fell, three black lines flashed on Zhang Zifan's head, and he touched his head embarrassedly.
"Actually, I don't know." Hehe smirked twice.
"Zifan, why do you say I can't find Qing's soul, I tried many methods to no avail, but I have a feeling that he is coming back soon." It was the first time that Ji Ruxi was looking forward to it like this, and her face was full of happiness.
Chu Zhehan in the palace has been guarding Concubine Li who is going to dismantle the cloth, and it has been three months. Lin Anli tugged on Chu Zhehan's sleeve tightly, and her palms were covered with fine beads of sweat.
The gauze was reduced layer by layer, and everyone's hearts were also raised to their throats. In the past few months, Lin Anli has been suffering, the pain of peeling is unforgettable, when the wound scabs and new skin grows, the itching is heart-rending, and the lung pain is unbearable. Fortunately, the weather was cool and did not cause infection.
Lin Anli's face gradually revealed, her father's death had hit her hard, and today it fell to such a point that she wanted to die many times, but the hatred for Ji Ruxi in her heart supported her to survive.
Although Lin Anli has grown new skin, there are still a few deep furrows left in the heavy peeling place, which can only be described as ravines.
"Li'er, how are you feeling, does it still hurt?" Chu Zhehan still looked at Lin Anli, who was almost a little terrifying, gently.
"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt anymore, and it doesn't itch anymore." Lin Anli's white hand caressed her face, and suddenly stopped, and she could feel the bumps.
Chu Zhehan quickly diverted the topic until he fell asleep to Lin Anli. After Chu Zhehan left, Lin Anli asked the maid to bring the mirror over.
"Ah......h
The next day, Chu Zhehan ordered everyone in the palace not to use mirrors anymore, destroy all mirrors, and execute those who violated the order on the spot. In an instant, the hearts of the concubines in the palace who thought they had survived were about to break, but they were still very happy. In the past, the beautiful and moving concubine who enjoyed the grace of God alone has become like this, how can it make people unhappy and unhappy.
Ji Ruxi and Zhang Zifan also embarked on a journey to find the ends of the earth and tear crystals.
They arrived at a small town in the evening, and it was just dark, but the doors of every house were closed, and even the inn was closed early, realizing that there must be a problem.
Zhang Zifan has also learned a lot of skills these days. "Ru Xi, I think something is wrong here, it looks like we're going to sleep on the streets today."
"We went to see if there was a place to stay. It's strange that there isn't a single beggar. "After walking for a long time, I found a dilapidated temple in a remote place, which was dedicated to the Four Heavenly Kings, but it had fallen into disrepair for a long time, and it was inevitably a little dilapidated. Zhang Zifan gave each king a stick of incense, but it was broken halfway. For those who are convinced, this is greatly unlucky.
Ji Ruxi couldn't help but think so, he was not in the Three Realms and Six Realms, what did they have to do with him, if he said that he had it, he would be hateful. Not to mention that he is a good person in his life, he has never killed and harmed people's lives, how can he not be chilling. Now I don't have to eat, drink, Lazar, I don't have a sense of smell and taste, my body is like a dead person, and what is even more ridiculous is that I have endless years, creating and making people.
The night was very calm, and occasionally a night owl called twice, and there was not even a watch here. Zhang Zifan slept soundly, and Ji Ruxi had to smoke the nearby resentment cultivation in the moonlight to pass the time. The skin seems to be getting harder and harder, and ordinary weapons can't hurt it at all, and even if it is injured, it doesn't feel the slightest pain. If you turn all the people in a city into zombies, you will definitely be invincible. Ji Ruxi has also fulfilled the wishes of many people, and there are more servants. Is it really worth paying such a price for one's so-called wishes?
The sun quietly crawled out of the clouds instead of the moon, Zhang Zifan was eating meat buns with relish, it was very lively here, only at night it was so quiet, the silence was terrible.
"Boss, why are you so quiet this night, the inn is not open for business." Zhang Zifan asked while eating.
"Presumably Childe is from out of town, alas! Our name is Qingping Town, and we all lived in peace and contentment, but there was a murder seven days ago. Li Er, who was on the watch, was killed, and all the blood in his body was drained, and the one who died was a miserable one. It is said that there are no scars on the whole body, only two holes in the neck. And then there were three or four more such incidents, and five people died in seven days, all at night, and from then on, when it was dark, all the doors of their houses were closed, for fear of misfortune. As soon as the old man finished speaking, he was busy selling steamed buns.
Two officials held notices in their hands and pasted them on the wall, surrounded by a large group of ordinary people.
"The county government announced that those who can solve the case will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver, and the county lord is eager to seek talent, and those who are interested will go to the county government immediately after receiving this list." After saying that, he left the crowd.
"Ru Xi, did you hear it, fifty taels, how much roast chicken do you have to eat, or let's ...... Well? Zhang Zifan squeezed his eyes at Ji Ruxi.
"Don't have a life to earn a life." Ji Ruxi glared at Zhang Zifan.
"Master, I am also a descendant of the Heavenly Master, and I have made great progress recently, haven't you heard that they were all drained of blood and died, of course a righteous person like me has the obligation to save the common people." Zhang Zifan said that the righteousness is awe-inspiring. Ji Ruxi nodded and didn't refute, after all, she didn't know where the ends of the earth were. Fortunately, she stayed, so she didn't regret it for the rest of her life.
Zhang Zifan swaggered to take the imperial list, and he also had his own little abacus in his heart, "Whether it's a person or something dirty, there is Ji Ruxi who can't beat him." It's better to train yourself if it's dirty, and it's all about paper before, and when you finally have the ability to experience it, it's not life-threatening. Zhang Zifan's heart blossomed.
The next morning, there was another murder, and the walls of a thatched hut were torn apart, leaving a human-shaped hole. The deceased was still dyed by blood drawn, which made people's hearts panic for a moment, and everyone wanted to flee but did not dare to escape. For fear that walking at night would also be killed by the poisonous hands of gangsters.
Zhang Zifan examined the body of the deceased, the deceased was a scholar, his parents died early at the age of twenty-six, and he was usually gentle and humble, and never made enemies with others. There were no fatal injuries on his body, just scratches on the back of his arms. The only fatal ones were the two bloody holes in the neck. Zhang Zifan let everyone leave in the name of protecting the scene, which is indeed very strange and does not look like it was done by people.
"The wound is covered with a thick black gas, it is corpse gas." Maybe others can't see it, but how can Ji Ruxi not know if he is in the company of corpses every day.
Zhang Zifan took out the glutinous rice in the bag, and it burned and turned black in an instant. "Is it really corpse gas, is it a vampire zombie?" Zhang Zifan took out the book and looked at the records about vampire zombies
