Chapter 164: Corpse Scars

After Bai Shenyu listened to Xu Ning's words, she nodded frequently, she felt that Xu Ning was far smarter than she thought.

So he asked tentatively: "Then what do you think about it now, do you go with the flow or take the initiative to stop Senior Brother Chen?" ”

Since Xu Ning said the doubts that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, his heart was much clearer, just like a person who was lost in the dark suddenly saw a ray of light and became duty-free.

He said resolutely: "Tomorrow, the two of us will secretly go to the Demon Wind Mountain Range to see if we can find some clues, if we really find something unusual, I will have evidence to make Senior Brother wake up." ”

"Awakened? What does this mean? Bai Shenyu asked puzzled.

"I suspect that my brother has gone insane, and he doesn't know a lot of things after he has done them." Xu Ning replied, "I now suspect that he has been controlled by the devil, and the whole person seems to be sleepwalking." ”

Bai Shenyu gasped and felt that the forest was starting to get cold.

Xu Ning said again: "At this time, don't let Long Tianmu and Muyu know about them, lest the two of them worry and be afraid all day long." ”

Bai Shenyu agreed, his face gloomy. Xu Ning was also quite frightened when he saw her, held her cold little hand, and said softly: "Now it seems that your arrival has helped me a lot, I don't know why I suddenly feel that this matter is not clueless, it is already very clear and clear." ”

When Bai Shenyu heard him say this, his mood immediately improved a lot, and he asked with a smile: "Then tell me, what are you going to do?" ”

Xu Ning replied: "Things have to come the same way. Tomorrow, you will go to the Demon Wind Mountain Range with me first, and I will be very relieved to have you by my side. ”

Indeed it is. The white sinking fish is not only extremely high in cultivation, but can fight side by side in times of crisis. And she is the most important one among all the disciples of Rashomon, since this is a major event within Rashomon, there is such a character to face together, and I am much more sure in my heart.

Bai Shenyu didn't ask much, but he had more admiration and admiration for Xu Ning in his heart, thinking that if other people encountered such a terrible thing, he would have avoided it a long time ago, and he had endured it alone for so long, and he was really a real man.

Her head snuggled up to Xu Ning's chest, sitting in his arms, indulging in the dream of love. Forget about those annoying things.

In the moonlight, the shadows of the trees are swaying, the cool breeze is blowing, the grass and wild flowers are shaking, and the charming fragrance is shaking, elegant and hazy, and the style is infinite in the moonlit night.

It wasn't until the moon rose in the middle of the sky that the two went to find Mu Yu and Long Tian, and returned to Juling Peak together.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, it was not yet fully light. When Long Tian and Mu Yu were still asleep, they got up early and headed for the Demon Wind Mountain Range.

Bai Shenyu's temperament is really very different from Yan Bing, compared to the enthusiasm of the forest ancient girl. She is about to be much more restrained and quiet, which also saves Xu Ning a lot of embarrassment, and he still doesn't dare to explain to her what he and Yan Bing have privately decided for life. The first is the lack of courage, and the second is compared to the crisis that Juling Peak is facing now and Chen Jin's life and death. His personal emotional entanglement is nothing, and Xu Ning can still tell which is more important.

Bai Shenyu followed closely behind Xu Ning all the way. It is completely unwinded and relaxed. Xu Ning was secretly surprised in his heart, his current martial arts cultivation had reached the fifth layer of the Marshal Realm, and he had recently made a great breakthrough in the cultivation of the Emperor's Amazing Technique, and his internal strength had increased a lot, but seeing that her breath was smooth, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, but he was afraid that his skills were only above himself.

When he walked near the blood pool, Bai Shenyu also noticed a trace of abnormality, and asked Xu Ning: "I remember that when I arrived near the blood pool before, the demon fog was full of clouds and covered the sky, why didn't I see this scene at all today?" ”

Xu Ning said with a smile: "It seems that your memory is very good, and the monsters in the blood pool have long been cleaned up by me, so the demon qi is naturally weak." ”

"Are you telling the truth?" Bai Shenyu asked in disbelief, just because she had also heard of the horror of the blood pool, and people usually avoided it, and no one wanted to provoke the poisonous gas demon anywhere.

Xu Ning just nodded, and when he reached the edge of the blood pool, he saw that the blood pool had become an abyss, and Bai Shenyu believed it. She was also extremely surprised to see such a huge change for the first time.

The two of them bypassed the blood pool again and continued to march towards the Demon Wind Mountain Range, the demon mist also became thinner, and the morning glow was dyed between the mountains, with more bright colors.

Bai Shenyu used to have a pill for detoxification for use on the road, but now it is not there at all. She was also in a good mood, and she didn't know if it was because of the better environment or because of the joy of walking with Xu Ning.

In short, both of them arrived on the cliff below the Demon Mountain smoothly.

Xu Ning followed the steps that Chen Jin specially taught him that day, cut off the electric light on one of the chains, and led the white sinking fish to climb up along the iron rope together, and walked into the Demon Suppression Mountain hanging high in the air.

Although Xu Ning had other plans to patrol the mountain this time, he still checked around a little as usual, and everything was normal, and he didn't find any foreign objects entering.

After this was done, he and Bai Shenyu returned to the inner courtyard and sat on the edge of the stone platform.

The five pines and cypresses, which had withered the last time they came, naturally all fell to the ground, turned into some dry and dead branches, and even the leaves were gone.

Xu Ning pointed to the dead branches of pines and cypresses on the ground and asked, "Shenyu, do you know these pines and cypresses?" ”

Bai Shenyu didn't know what he meant by asking, and looked at him suspiciously.

Xu Ning saw that she didn't know anything, so she told Bai Shenyu: "There are five corpses buried under these five pines and cypresses, if Senior Brother Chen didn't lie to me." ”

Bai Shenyu was taken aback, only then did he pay attention to it, and said tremblingly: "It turns out that those five junior disciples died here, but I don't know that I am afraid that only you and Chen Jin know about the entire Rashomon." ”

Xu Ning said in a deep voice: "I brought you here today, do you know what I'm going to do?" ”

Bai Shenyu thought for a while, and then shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

Xu Ning said: "I want to dig up all five corpses and examine them." Let's see if we can find some anomalies. ”

Bai Shenyu looked solemn and pursed his lips tightly. He nodded heavily.

After the two cleaned up the dead branches and broken trees scattered on the ground, Xu Ning began to dig carefully. After a while, a rotten blanket emerged from the mud and sand.

Xu Ning motioned for Bai Shenyu to stay away, and said: "These corpses will definitely emit a corpse stench, and they will not all rot in a few months, and their faces are hideous and terrifying, so I will check it myself first, and then call you over if there is anything unclear." ”

Bai Shenyu smiled bitterly: "I was born in an assassin family, I haven't seen any terrible scenes, you don't have to worry about me." ”

Xu Ning didn't say more. He dug up the blanket containing the corpse from the mud and sand and put it on the stone platform.

I saw that although this blanket had begun to show signs of damage, it was still intact, and the body was tightly wrapped, looking terrible under the scorching sun.

Xu Ning slowly opened the blanket, and the corpse inside gradually appeared.

After the two of them saw it, they both gasped: this corpse was extremely well preserved, as if it had just fallen asleep, but its complexion was pale and terrifying. Hard and cold.

Xu Ning and Bai Shenyu glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"They have all been dead for months, and even if they don't turn into a pile of bones, most of them have rotted in the mud. How is that possible? ”

Xu Ning suddenly remembered the scenes he had seen in the Wild Underground Ancient City, and couldn't help but connect the two, and said, "It's probably because the demonic aura here is too strong. The soul of the King of Orring is in the ravine below, so it can keep the body of the dead intact.'

He was right. It's just that in the sound of Bai Shenyu, it still feels a little nonsense.

Xu Ning tore open the clothes on the corpse again. began to inspect carefully, and soon, the white sunfish on the side let out an exclamation: "Look, there are clearly several small wounds on his back." ”

Xu Ning paid attention to this, and sure enough, there were several wounds on the back of the corpse that were as thin as the eye of a needle, which would never be visible if it were not for a master, because the corpse was already hard and deformed.

As soon as he pressed those tiny wounds with his hand, he knew that they were fatal wounds, and although they looked inconspicuous on the outside, they all went deep into the internal organs.

"Could it be that he was attacked by a hidden weapon like a silver needle?" Xu Ning exhaled and asked.

Bai Shenyu said hoarsely and softly: "Do you know that Senior Brother Chen's martial arts are sword skills, and the most powerful move in his Ice Sword Technique is 'Stars Falling to the Earth', once used, the sword qi will turn into countless silver needles......"

Xu Ning suddenly realized that the first time he saw Chen Jin using the "Stars Falling to the Ground" was on the Demon Suppression Mountain, but although he had been prepared in his heart, the more the clues to the truth of the matter pointed to Chen Jin, the more nervous he became.

He didn't say more, and dug up the other corpses out of the mud and sand one after another, all with the same wounds without exception, but the injuries were different, but all of them were fatal.

After burying the body again, the two of them sat on the edge of the stone platform in a daze, unable to speak for a long time, and the shadow that lingered in their hearts was so thick that they couldn't breathe freely.

"I don't think these people were killed ......by Senior Brother Chen," Xu Ning said to himself.

"Then why did he lie?"

"Although I don't have a lot of communication and I don't have a deep relationship with the world, it's still okay to see people being obedient." Xu Ning said softly, and he didn't know if it was to persuade her or herself, "Senior Brother Chen Jin and I mentioned these people that day, and they were also heartbroken and grief-stricken, and it was impossible to pretend to be." ”

Chen Jin really didn't have the need to pretend, Xu Ning didn't know anything, and there was no need to take the initiative to sue him.

Bai Shenyu said: "Didn't you say that Senior Brother Chen Jin often sleepwalks and forgets what he once did? Maybe ......"

"But those wounds are shocking, and they can be seen now, let alone then? What is the explanation? Xu Ning was puzzled.

Bai Shenyu frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "If his mind was already controlled by evil demons at that time, it would be difficult to say, for example, those evil things would put illusory pictures into his memory......"

Xu Ning fell into deep thought, what Bai Shenyu said was not unreasonable. What's more, just relying on the fact that Chen Jin had secretly touched the sealed Thunderbolt Scepter was already a big mistake.

Bai Shenyu broke the temporary silence and asked, "Now that you have found out the traces on the corpse that were deliberately concealed, what are you going to do next?" ”

Xu Ning stood up, stared at the faint demon mist on the Demon Suppression Tower, and sighed: "I will go directly to Senior Brother Chen, if there is still hope." ”

Bai Shenyu also got up, and asked again worriedly: "Then what do you want to find him, wait for him to get out?" ”

"Tonight!" Xu Ning said coldly. (To be continued......)
