Bai Luo and Xiao Gupeng investigated this human skin in the blood-soaked chamber. The human skin was extremely intact. The soft one is spread on the ground, and the facial features of the human skin can be clearly seen from the human skin. The upper eyelids of the human skin were so thin that when the human skin was peeled off, only some flocculent skin remained. The lips are two protruding dark red pieces, and the beard on the side of the lips can still be seen clearly.

Xiao Gupeng picked up the human skin with a scimitar and looked at it, the limbs of the human skin were soft and collapsed like two ropes, but the human skin of the arms, legs and feet was incomplete. The skin of the arm was broken off on the wrist, and the fracture was not neat, as if it had been torn by something. The skin of the legs and feet is also broken from the top of the ankles.

The most unbearable thing is that the human skin is still fresh. Bai Luo didn't know what Xiao Gupeng's background was, and he didn't even frown when he checked a human skin like this.

Xiao Gupeng looked at the human skin inch by inch, and he didn't even let go of the hair on the human skin. Without raising his head, he said, "There's a lot of yellow sand on it." ”

Bai Luo nodded: "I also found out that this human skin was taken back from outside." ”

The two of them were in this room, but the hall was already a mess. Xing Laosan went crazy, saying "retribution" for a while, "revenge" for a while, scolding the demon clan for a while, and cursing the Prison Martial God Monarch for a while.

Xiao Gupeng frowned when he heard the noise: "White girl, their mouths are not dry, can you bear it?"

Bai Luo said lightly: "I heard that there are many people scolding me in the Central Plains these days. ”

Xiao Gupeng smiled: "There is indeed nothing that can't be hidden from the white girl." ”

Bai Luo asked again: "You came here, is it related to these three people?"

Xiao Gupeng nodded, looked at Xing Laosan and Xing Laoda making noise in the hall and couldn't hear their voices, so he lowered his voice and said: "Since the farewell in Shuzhong, the Central Plains has suddenly been bloody in just a few months. White girl, the news of you in Yanzhou and Licheng came out on the second day. The gossip was the most terrible, and many of the monks suddenly rioted. They ......"

Xiao Gupeng said here and paused.

Bai Luo smiled calmly: "They smashed the Prison Martial God Monarch Temple, and they also smashed my idol?"

Xiao Gupeng nodded a little embarrassed: "That's true, I don't understand why things are developing so fast." At the beginning, the Yanzhou incident was just some gossip, saying that since the opening of the Heavenly Seal, the demons have ravaged the world, and these visionary variables are all due to the punishment of the Heavenly Seal. However, in just a few days, Licheng fell again, and suddenly the wind direction changed. Almost all the scattered cultivators began to crusade against the Martial God Monarch and kill the demons. In fact, there have been witchers since five years ago, but they all walk in the shadows. Now it's on the bright side, and it's all going so fast that it's like ......"

"Like a negotiator?" Bai Luo asked.

Xiao Gupeng nodded. Xiao Gupeng is careful, but he will never speculate.

The wound on Bai Luo's arm began to ache again. It does seem to be designed. From the beginning of meeting Xuanyin Chi Zeshen, to Ji Boyi finding her, and then to Yanzhou and Licheng, there seems to be a pair of invisible hands behind everything and then pushing the whole thing. It's just that she is in a fog and can't see this thing as it is.

Bai Luo asked, "These three people are the demon hunters you said?"

Xiao Gupeng nodded: "I've been chasing them for a long time." These three people are specifically targeting the demons, women can be sold as prostitutes, and men can be human beings. I also found that there were even transactions in the black market asking for the purchase of part of the body of the demon, which was simply sensational. ”

Bai Luo said lightly: "You refused to catch those three people directly, just because you want to put a long line to catch big fish?"

Xiao Gupeng nodded.

Bai Luo smiled bitterly: "Then you may be disappointed this time." ”

Xiao Gupeng frowned and said, "Why? Could it be that the white girl knows who the murderer is?"

Bai Luo said in a low voice: "I just guessed it, but there is still no evidence." I'll have to look for it again from this skin. ”

Xiao Gupeng picked up the head of the human skin: "I wonder if the white girl knows that south of Fufeng and in the deep mountains west of Lingling, there is a tribe named Jilan?"

Bai Luo said: "I have heard a little, and the Lan is an ancient tribe in the mountains and forests. Good at Gu arts. ”

Xiao Gupeng said: "In addition to Gu techniques, Jilan also has many secret techniques, old customs. Since the four great families ruled the Central Plains, the old customs of the previous dynasties have been abandoned, and the secret customs of the ancient dynasties are difficult to find even in books. Skinning people is one of them. In ancient dynasties, human skins were peeled to make drum noodles during sacrifices. ”

Bai Luo frowned and said, "You said that this method has something to do with the old customs of Helan?"

Xiao Gupeng shook his head and said, "It's the opposite. It is difficult to peel off the whole skin like this. This custom of skinning people has long been extinct in the Xiao Dynasty. If this craft can be traced, it should be reserved in Jilan. I've been to Jilan and seen how the people skin people. When Ranbe peels the skin, he will first cut a circle around the neck, wrists, and ankles, and then make a cut on the chest, and pour mercury into the thinnest part of the chest, so that the whole skin will be peeled off, and the skin on the back will not break, and it can maintain toughness, which can be used as a drum surface. ”

Bai Luo frowned, she had lived for tens of thousands of years, and naturally knew what the Central Plains was like. Such a method still sounds too cruel now.

Xiao Gupeng took out another scimitar and gently picked open the head part of the human skin: "But white girl, look at this skin, there is no knife on his chest, the knife is on the top of the skull." This is not the craft of skinning. I've never seen it even in the Ranbe. ”

Bai Luo carefully picked up the wrist of the human skin and looked at it: "There are some traces here, you can take a look again." ”

Xiao Gupeng took a closer look, and indeed the wrists and ankles of the human skin had some other debris similar to dry straw in addition to the yellow sand. Xiao Gupeng frowned and said, "This is hemp rope?"

Xiao Gupeng made a gesture of putting his hands and feet together: "He once had his hands and feet tied." ”

Bai Luo frowned and looked at the man, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. This may have been beyond her knowledge of cruelty.

Xiao Gupeng walked to the window and saw that in addition to the yellow sand, there were also some hay crumbs on the window frame: "White girl, there are also traces of hemp rope here." ”

Bai Luo frowned and raised his head: "Maybe there will be on the beam too." ”

Xiao Gupeng jumped up without saying a word, and there were indeed hay crumbs on the beam. Not only that, but because the beam was not covered with yellow sand, there were clear traces of being strangled by hemp rope. Xiao Gupeng stood on the beam and said suspiciously: "White girl, there are indeed traces of hemp rope here, but it is a little strange." ”

Bai Luo: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Gupeng said strangely: "It's too deep, this human skin is very light, and the traces on this beam shouldn't be so deep." Even if the whole person is hanged, there should not be such a deep trace. ”

Bai Luo gently pushed open a crack in the window, the black wind outside was still flying around with yellow sand, and there were several wine barrels under the window, which had been filled with yellow sand. The rim of the barrel also fell with yellow sand half a barrel high.

Bai Luo said softly: "I know where this person's body is. ”

As soon as Bai Luo's words fell, an angry shout came from the wing room on the second floor: "Open the door!"

Bai Luo frowned and walked over. Xing Laosan stood in front of Zhao Yan's door and slapped the door heavily: "Open the door!"

Zhao Yan opened a crack in the door from the inside and quietly looked at Xing Laosan, who was going crazy.

Xing Laosan held the crack in the door and looked at Zhao Yan viciously: "Is it you! Where is my eldest brother?"

Zhao Yan frowned and didn't speak.

Xing Laosan wanted to grab Zhao Yan's collar through the crack in the door and drag Zhao Yan out of it.

Zhao Yan slapped Xing Laosan's hand and looked at him even more viciously.

Xing Laosan grinned and said: "Lao Tzu has killed so many people, are you afraid? I am not afraid of retribution! Whoever dares to touch Lao Tzu's brother will die! Where is my eldest brother?"

"Zheng", a piano sound came from the room next door, Xing Laosan's ears suddenly seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't hear anything except a buzzing sound.

Xing Laosan covered his ears and said loudly: "Damn, Lao Tzu's ears are deaf? Big brother! Big brother!"

Yu Lei walked out of the house with a displeased face.

Bai Luo stood on the first floor, looked up at Yu Lei and smiled lightly: "Don't be in a hurry to deal with him, first find the person who killed his brother, and then we will settle his account slowly." ”

When Yu Lei heard Bai Luo's words, he waved his hand without hesitation, and Xing Laosan's ears suddenly returned to normal.

Xing Laosan pointed at Yu Lei and scolded: "You were just you?!, you bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, don't think Lao Tzu will be afraid of you." ”

Bai Luo said lightly: "I don't know who the cow ghost snake god is, if you want to know where your eldest brother is." Just ask the murderer of your second brother. ”

Xing Laosan suddenly rushed down from the second floor: "Who is it?"

Everyone in the lobby followed Bai Luo to the side room. Even Zhao Yan walked out curiously. Only Yu Lei and Jiang Jiu were still in their rooms. Yu Lei glanced at Lu Yubao who was soaked in the wooden barrel, and gently stroked the piano again.

Xing Laosan looked at Xing Lao'er's skin on the ground and couldn't help but feel sad: "Second brother!"

Xing Laosan asked viciously, "Who killed my second brother?"

Bai Luo said lightly: "It depends on who has been to Xing Laoer's room." After that, Bai Luo glanced at Xiaohu lightly.

Xiaohu smiled dryly: "Girl, don't be joking, I'm panicking when I kill a chicken, let alone kill someone, it's ...... Still...... Make it like this......"

Xing Laosan looked at Xiaohu suspiciously: "I have been in the lobby since I finally saw the second brother in the room, and this little brother has also been there." ”

Bai Luo looked at Xing Laosan and asked, "What did you see outside the door?"

Xing Laosan thought for a while: "What is my second brother there, what is that......" Xing Laosan suddenly paused: "No, he is swaying!"

Bai Luo said: "What you saw at that time was already a piece of skin. ”

Xiaohu's face suddenly froze.

Bai Luo also stopped selling Guanzi, and opened the window with a wave of his hand: "Xing Lao Er is under this window." ”

"What!" Xing Laosan threw half of his body out of the window, but he didn't see anything, and he was filled with yellow sand by the black wind. "Are you kidding Lao Tzu?"

Bai Luo sighed, his fingers hooked slightly, and a wind that was completely opposite to the black wind blew over, blowing away the yellow sand around the wine barrel, and under the wine barrel lay a blood-red bloody corpse without skin!

Xing Laosan's tongue was knotted, and under the yellow sand, it seemed that there was a demon buried in the yellow sand, not Xing Laosan.

Xing Laosan suddenly remembered something, and was sweating in shock, he had seen this scene before. He swallowed saliva, his legs and feet were trembling, and cold sweat fell from his head one by one: "No, no, this is impossible." Mistaken, I'm leaving, I'm getting out of here!"

Bai Luo smiled coldly: "It's a black wind outside, do you think it's better than burying yellow sand and dying like that?"

Xing Laosan changed his crazy appearance and suddenly became very weak: "I don't know what you're talking about?"

Bai Luo said lightly: "Your eldest brother, aren't you looking for it either?"

Xing Laosan muttered, "Xu is my eldest brother who has left." ”

Bai Luo squinted at Xing Laosan: "But the person who killed your eldest brother and second brother is right in front of you." ”

Xing Laosan raised his head. In front of him, there were only Bai Luo, Xiao Gupeng, Zhao Yan and Xiaohu.

The corners of Xing Laosan's mouth twitched and looked at Xiaohu: "It's you?"

Xiaohu had completely put away his kind face, and he looked up at Bai Luo: "So it's me?"

Bai Luo pointed to the marks on the windows and beams: "If I'm not mistaken, you gagged Xing Lao Er, put him in a wooden barrel while he was still alive, tied a rope to his hand, used the rope to pass through the beam, and then fell with ice." Then make an opening at the top of Xing Laoer's skull. You start by pouring most of the yellow sand into the barrel. Wait until the black wind is together, and naturally fill the barrel. Xing Laoer's body will be detached from his skin. The weight of the body was gone, and the leather was dragged back to the room by the ice. It happened to be what Xing Laosan saw when he came. When the ice melted, the skin fell. Isn't that so?"

Yu Lei, who was far away in the second-floor wing, listened to Bai Luo's movements, and when he heard such a killing method, he couldn't help frowning.

Xiaohu nodded: "That's probably the case, but it's a little wrong." I didn't gagged him, I poured molten iron into his mouth. ”

Bai Luo looked at Xiaohu and said, "Where did you know this method?"

Xiaohu looked at Xing Laosan: "Then you have to ask him, right?"

Xing Laosan shook his head in a panic: "Who are you? I'm just looking for a target. ”

Xiaohu was red-eyed: "Demon women are no different from ordinary women. You don't treat them as human beings for the sake of buying and selling. I'm just an ordinary person, I don't know how to cultivate immortals, and I don't understand the affairs of the rivers and lakes. I just want to live my life plainly and rise with her. But you kill people for money. I still refuse to give a pleasure when I kill someone. Your buyers will buy the skins of demon women, and some buyers will buy hearts, and they will be skinned alive. That's how you came up with it!"

Xiaohu had completely lost his mind at this time, and his eyes were full of hatred: "Do you remember her screams at that time? Demon women are not easy to die, and they have been tortured many times more than ordinary people! He died so easily, it was cheaper for him!"

As Xiaohu spoke, he suddenly pounced forward, and at some point, he had an extra cold blade, and stabbed the knife into Xing Laosan's chest. He looked back at Bai Luo and said in despair, "Boss Xing is in the kitchen, and I originally wanted to dispose of him while your energy was focused on human skin. But it's too late. I'm an ordinary person, but I'm going to get revenge, don't I?"

Xiaohu withdrew the knife, and the tip of the knife was dripping with blood. Xing Laosan lay down in a pool of blood: "I waited for them at this Yanmen Pass, and I waited for two years. It's the way they have to do business. Xiaohu seemed to have used all his strength: "This world is chaotic, I don't know what rivers and lakes, I don't know what monks." I don't understand what they say about the Kunlun Divine Venerable. But people have to distinguish between good and bad. Demons too. ”
