Chapter 33: Tragic Death
Luo Gang seemed to think of something, and said with some hesitation: "Miaozhi Daoist, I don't know if there is something I should say?"
Miao Zhi hurriedly replied, "Second Master Luo, please speak." β
"When I was looking for my eldest brother in the Northern Wilderness, I accidentally ran into a strangulation between demons. I was peeking in the shadows, and one of the demons cast a golden spirit rune in his hand, and the flame of the spirit rune was very similar to the legendary Purgatory True Fire, but I had never cast the Purgatory True Fire Talisman after all, and I couldn't clearly distinguish the real from the fake. That's why I've been hesitating whether to tell you or not. β
Miao Zhi asked, "Where did the demon come from?"
"It's the subordinates of the Demon Realm Thousand Sheng Demon Venerable, and they were fighting against the Hundred Bone Demon Venerable's men at that time. β
Miao Zhi clapped his hands, "Then it should be eight or nine, the demon who made trouble in the Yiqing faction before is also a person from Qiansheng Demon Venerable, and the person who saved him must be his accomplice." Uncle Shi, the disciple will send a letter to the master in a while, asking if you want to go to the Northern Wilderness to chase the murderer?"
Dong Yuan raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Miaozhi lightly, and did not speak.
Luo Sihai said loudly: "Since thousands of years ago, after the Chaos Heaven Ancestor was destroyed by the Heavenly Realm Ziwei Emperor, the Demon Realm has split into three major forces, one faction is the Qiansheng Demon Venerable, the other is the Hundred Bone Demon Venerable, and the third faction is the Floating Island Demon Venerable. The floating island demon is arrogant, never pays attention to the battle of the demon world, and is in a neutral position. In order to compete for the position of the leader of the Demon Realm, the Qiansheng Demon Venerable and the Hundred Bone Demon Venerable have been fighting for thousands of years. If it's really the people of the Qiansheng Demon Venerable, things will be tricky. β
Dong Yuan, who had been silent, suddenly emitted a golden circle of light, and said coldly: "No matter who it is, whoever kills my people will be punished." β
Everyone was impressed by the strong coercion of Dong Yuan.
This coercion made Huaiyu's breathing very uncomfortable, and she complained in her heart, why do these high-level immortals release coercion to scare people at every turn, it is really enough.
"Ahemβ" Her chest was choking, and she couldn't help coughing a few times.
Dong Yuan's eyes lit up, and the golden aura on his body disappeared in an instant, and Huaiyu immediately felt a lot more comfortable breathing.
Luo Sihai immediately asked Luo Gang to arrange for Dong Yuan, Miaozhi and other Yiqing disciples to go to the other courtyard to rest.
In a moment, there were only three people left in the hall: Luo Sihai, Luo Xiang, and Qin Huaiyu.
Luo Xiang smiled and said, "Grandpa, how is the Yuqing Dan refining?"
Luo Sihai's eyes were full of hope, "A few days ago, after I received your aunt's spirit pigeon, I refined it even more tightly. In a few days, you'll be done. β
"Really!!" Luo Xiang exclaimed in surprise, tugging at Huaiyu's sleeve.
Huaiyu's body was crooked by him, and he rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Yes, Ah Xiang, if we can succeed this time, not only will we be able to prolong Huaiyu's life, but in the future, my Luo family's status in the immortal cultivation world will be unmatched. Hahaha!" Luo Sihai smiled proudly.
"Qi Qi Old City Lord!" A hurried voice came from outside, interrupting Luo Sihai's laughter.
Luo Sihai shouted loudly: "Come in, what's the matter?"
Hodge, the chief manager, came in from outside with a few servants, "Old city lord, the body of the girl who disappeared a few days ago was found by the West African River, and her family carried the body to the mansion. β
Luo Sihai's brows furrowed, a little displeased, "Why did you carry it to the mansion?"
"The corpse is very weird, the girl's family said that they were killed by demons, and they begged the old city lord to give justice. In addition, this girl is also the fifth woman to go missing in half a year, and the only one to find her body. β
Luo Sihai thought slightly, "Okay, take me to see." β
Hodge led Luo Sihai out of the hall, Luo Xiang was curious, and dragged Huaiyu out as well.
I saw a simple wooden frame parked in the middle of an empty courtyard in the house, and a swollen and white female corpse was lying on it.
Huaiyu saw at a glance that the female corpse's eyes were hollow, and her eyeballs were obviously gouged out, her heart moved, and her eyes quickly moved to the abdomen of the female corpse, and sure enough, there was a fist-sized blood hole in the female corpse's dantian.
She and Luo Xiang glanced at each other, and said in unison: "West African River Female Ghost!"
Luo Sihai looked at the two of them puzzled, "You guys?"
Luo Xiang hurriedly told the story of the previous encounter with a female ghost in the West African River.
Luo Sihai frowned deeply, "You mean that this female corpse and those female ghosts were killed by the same murderer?"
Huaiyu replied: "Yes, and this murderer seems to be refining an extremely vicious magic skill, which requires a woman's dantian essence blood." β
Luo Xiang asked, "Then why did this murderer gouge out their eyes?"
Huaiyu sighed, "There is a secret technique in the demon world, if you gouge out the eyes of the person you kill, whether the person becomes a demon or is reincarnated, he will not remember the appearance of the person who harmed him, and he will not come to seek revenge." β
Luo Xiang snorted a few times in his mouth, "It's really vicious!, eh, Xiao Huaiyu, how do you know so many things in the Demon Realm?"
Huaiyu gently brushed the broken hair that fell from his forehead, and smiled awkwardly: "I saw it in the book." β
Luo Xiang tilted his head sideways, trying to remember, "Which book is it written in? β
Huaiyu hurriedly changed the topic, "You linger in the land of fireworks every day, do you have time to read?
Luo Xiang's face was a little red when he was said, he secretly glanced at Luo Sihai, and said loudly: "Isn't it just looking for the murderer? Grandpa, leave the matter of finding the murderer to your grandson." β
Luo Sihai saw that he was full of confidence, so he agreed.
...
Late at night, the Luo family's mansion was silent.
The case in Luo Xiang's room was full of files, and he buried his head deep in the files, looking through them one by one.
Qin Huaiyu was at the corner table on the side, eating pastries, drinking wine, holding "Kyushu Leisurely Atlas" in his hand, with a leisurely look.
"Alasβ" Luo Xiang suddenly put down the file, leaned back, leaned his head on the back of the chair, and screamed bitterly.
Huaiyu glanced at him: "What's the matter?"
Luo Xiang looked decadent: "No, I don't have a clue at all! I have seen the background of the five missing women, and they don't know each other." And the occupation and age are different. Almost all of them are mortals, how did they provoke demons?"
Huaiyu put down the book in his hand and said lightly: "It's not that there is no connection at all. β
Luo Xiang raised his head, "Xiao Huaiyu, what did you say?"
"All five women were born on a cloudy day, and the time of their disappearance as indicated by their families was on the night of a full moon. β
"A full moon night?"
"The night of the full moon is the time of the month when it is extremely cloudy. β
Luo Xiang's eyes lit up, "Xiao Huaiyu, how did you know this information?"
"When you went out to the toilet just now, I flipped through the file on your case. β
β.......β
Luo Xiang was stunned, remembered something, and quickly turned out the household registration book on the table.
Without waiting for him to open it, Huaiyu said leisurely: "Don't look for it, I just looked, there are still 3 women in the city who were born when the lunar year was cloudy and the moon was cloudy." β
"Scared-" Luo Xiang was secretly shocked, why is Xiao Huaiyu so smart now, he knows everything he wants, "That, two days later, it will be a full moon night." β
Huaiyu said with a flat face: "How about that?"
Luo Xiang squeezed his eyebrows and showed a sly smile: "Xiao Huaiyu, I have a plan, do you want to listen to ......it?"
