[The book continues from the previous book, where it was said that four men in black cloaks appeared in the moonlight and walked towards the corpse of the homeless man who had died. The next day, Mu Qingming went to work on the Jade Dragon Pile, and after arranging the work, he saw Zhao Liang rushing over in a hurry, and privately told Mu Qing that there was another murder in the city, and the body of the deceased was very strange, with shriveled and wrinkled skin, and it was already a dry corpse. Mu Qingming didn't feel it yet, and he had already informed Miaotian and Ah Hong, who were working on the Sealtang Wharf, with his mind in advance. The two of them found an excuse to go out, and after rushing to the scene to take a look, they immediately found that the body of the deceased was not naturally dried, but after being sucked in essence and blood, as well as the soul, it became the appearance of the air drying now. 】

The morning sun rises in the east, red as fire.

Xiao Heizi stood at the door of the warehouse, and after watching Zhao Liang and Mu Qingming go away, he turned around and went back to the warehouse.

Qi Gao and Mrs. Qi have already explained that as long as Mu Qingming has something to do, everything in the warehouse will be handled by Xiao Heizi. Mu Qingming must not be hindered, nor can he be angry about it.

In addition, Mu Qingming was approachable in the past, and he was very friendly to the craftsmen and workers under him, and never scolded them. Even if he Mu Qingming occasionally had something, like today, when Zhao Liang suddenly said that he would please leave, everyone had no complaints. Everything is as usual, each has its own responsibilities, and all the work in the warehouse is done in an orderly manner.

It's just that after a long time, everyone knows that Zhao Liang came to find Mu Qingming for the case, and in private, he can't help but wonder, is there another murder in the city?

When Mu Qingming comes back, the workers in the Qi family's warehouse will inevitably surround Mu Qingming and ask him to tell stories......

Zhangtang Wharf is a very lively place.

The mast is full of seals, thousands of sails stand in a forest and cruise ships gather. Today, when the New Year started, ships came one after another pulling various materials from the west and south banks of Dianchi Lake. There are also ships here to load the goods in the shore warehouse one after another, sail out of the wharf, go to the Daguan River along the Zhangtang River, sail into the Dianchi Lake from the Daguan River, and go away with the wind.

The warehouse room lined up on the shore was also lively.

The polar opposite of last night's tranquility.

People come and go, and people are boiling. The teahouses scattered in the warehouse are also lively, shouting and shouting, endlessly. Many large or small orders are negotiated in these noisy teahouses.

It has become a different scenery on the wharf in the city of Kunming.

In addition, everyone has been idle for nearly a month because of the New Year's holiday, and the money in their pockets is almost empty for the New Year. Today is even more riveting, here loudly talking about business.

The coolies who come and go between the warehouses are also very hard; As long as the business of the shopkeeper is negotiated, they will rush to unload or load the goods.

However, the murders and strange corpses that happened in the warehouse were rarely seen. There weren't many people around the scene. They just casually watched the excitement and left on their own.

This saved Zhao Liang's policemen a lot of trouble.

In the past, once there was a murder in the city, the curious people of good things would always make the policemen under Zhao Liang anxious. The people on the three floors and the outer three floors can't be driven away.

The chatter discussion was even louder.

Today is good, the police haven't chased people out yet, and everyone left one after another, each busy with their own work.

After all, it's still important to make money.

In less than a meal, there were only a few idle people left near the scene of the crime, still pointing and pointing, surrounded by the police, and the well-protected corpses were talking about something.

When Miaotian and Ah Hong, who were working near the Zhangtang Wharf, arrived, there was no crowding near the scene.

The two of them were working in another Qi family's warehouse near here.

The Qi family's warehouse here is stockpiled with exotic specialties brought back by the horse gang last year. There are Tibetan rosin Tibetan paper, turquoise, and ghee. There are also jade and wood carvings from Myanmar, and black tea and spices from Nepal.

It's all going to be sold in the mainland, and it doesn't have to be replenished for the time being, and it's not very busy today, and it's just a little bit of inventory.

Therefore, Ah Hong and Miaotian easily made an excuse and slipped out to see the scene of the crime.

Mu Qingming had already used his mind to transmit the sound, instructing them to come here first to take a look, so as not to destroy some evidence by the onlookers. So the two came together just to see the scene.

They looked around the scene, and the body protected by the police did not attract the police. Let them see enough.

But Miaotian, who had just arrived at the scene, immediately sensed the imperceptible demonic aura remaining on the ground nearby. Although it is weak, Miao's natural five senses and six senses are different from ordinary people, and he is a master who is good at tracking, no matter how weak the demonic energy is, he can sense it.

Based on this alone, it is not difficult to see that the people who died here have encountered demons.

And Ah Hong looked at the corpse at a glance. After taking a few glances at the corpse, he found that it was just as Mu Qing said in the voice of his thoughts, his body was gray, his skin and flesh were dry and close to his bones, and his belly was sunken.

In the cool morning breeze, the hair on the top of the cadre's head did not fall out much, and it drifted around with the wind.

As for the vicinity of the corpse, there was neither the smell of blood, nor the slightest trace of blood. This person was definitely not killed by a sword or other sharp weapon, and coupled with the shriveled appearance of the corpse, Ah Hong suddenly felt that this matter was not simple.

After he and Miaotian glanced at each other, the voice of his mind secretly said, "Uncle Miaotian, I'm afraid that this matter is only done by demons." Look at the corpse, it looks like air-dried bacon, in this warm spring city, the dead corpse is parked for hundreds of days, or even years and decades. ”。

"Well, it's not just fear, it's for sure." Miao Tian turned his head and looked at the corpse as well, staring at the wrinkled skin on the corpse, and also said with his mind: "Besides, it is impossible for human beings to dry the corpse to such an extent. ”。

Miaotian, who said this, secretly gathered in the veins above his eyes, quietly opened his eyes and looked at the corpse, and immediately saw that there was still a little demonic energy on the corpse, which remained on the seven orifices on the corpse.

It's like the little demonic aura left on the ground around it, it's already very light.

And in the shell, there is no soul for a long time.

"I heard my master once mention that there is a kind of demon, like the previous red jade female ghosts, who like to suck people's souls." At this moment, Ah Hong Meiyu beside Miao Tian wrinkled a Sichuan character, and his mind transmitted to Miao Tiandao: "Master once said that if the soul is not naturally out of the body, but the person who is sucked will inevitably become a dry corpse. There is no need for dry climate and strong winds to dry it, and the skin can be wrinkled, and the meat under the skin is like bacon. I still remember what he said, but what he said was colorful, and my sister Long Gu never ate bacon anymore. ”。

Speaking of this, Ah Hong glanced at the gray skin of the corpse again, his brows furrowed even tighter, and his mind was already ringing with the bacon that had been air-dried after development.

Although the color of the bacon is different from it, and it will drip oil after marinating, it is still different from this corpse, but Ah Hong still thinks so.

Thinking about it, I actually thought of the yak meat jerky transported by the horse gang in the Qi family's warehouse.

"Well, not only that, not only does the deceased have no soul in his body, but he also has no essence and blood." When Ah Hong was thinking about it, Miao Tian carefully observed the corpse's body, and secretly told Ah Hong: "In other words, his essence and blood have also been sucked dry by demons." ”。

After these words came into Ah Hong's mind, Ah Hong was immediately stunned, and then gradually surprised overflowed from the bottom of his eyes.

Soon, surprise overflowed his eyes, covering Ah Hong's face.

He also once heard Mu Qingming and Mo Han chatting that there are some demons who are extremely vicious and like to suck human essence and blood. It is only because the blood originates from the innate essence that it is born in the acquired diet and water valley; The formation of essence is also based on the acquired diet, so there is a saying that "essence and blood are of the same origin". And essence and blood are the foundation of human beings, and they both belong to yin. Essence is the yang of yin, and blood is the yin of yin. It is a great tonic for those who practice.

Therefore, some demons and evil spirits, desperate and unscrupulous, want to suck the essence and blood of humans and animals to improve their cultivation.

But in troubled times, when demons are rampant, this kind of thing often happens.

And the people or animals that are sucked blood will die painfully, and they can also become jerky in the end. And when being sucked blood, people or animals will be in severe pain, and at the same time, they will be dizzy and swollen.

Ah Hong had only heard about it before, but today he saw someone who was really sucked with essence blood. Looking closely at the frightened expression on this person's face, and then looking at the shriveled and wrinkled flesh on this corpse, Ah Honghou's spine was cold, and his whole body trembled.

He couldn't imagine how much pain this man had endured.

Because of this, I am a little afraid to think about it.

"Let's go, let's tell the young master what we see, and leave the rest to him." After a while, Miaotian called Ah Hong and turned around and left the place.

Not long after they left, Mu Qingming followed Zhao Liang over. As soon as he arrived at the scene, Mu Qingming went straight to the corpse.

In the cool breeze, the head of this corpse had already been lifted, and the wrinkled skin and air-dried body met Mu Qingming's eyes.

After some scrutiny, he also identified the clues that Miao Tian had told him with his mind transmission.

First of all, this person was indeed not murdered to death, it was definitely done by demons. There is no doubt about that.

Secondly, there is the matter of the essence and blood being sucked dry.

Under Mu Qingming's careful look, he also agreed with the clue that Miaotian gave him to use his mind to transmit the sound. Only those who have been drained of their blood and soul will have no water in their bodies, and their skin and flesh will be so shriveled that they can't even rot.

After Mu Qingming squatted down beside the corpse, he reached out and knocked on the bare flesh on the corpse, which was hard and not soft at all. It can be determined that the results obtained by Miaotian after observation are correct.

Mu Qingming frowned and pondered: "Who sucked up this person's essence blood and soul in the end?" ”。

Generally, there are many demons who like to suck the essence and blood of human or animal souls, and the most famous is the unjust soul. The greater the resentment, the more the demons like to suck the souls and blood of people and animals, and feed on them.

Then there are some spirits and monsters. It is impossible for evil people to be wicked, because of the structure of the human body and many other reasons, they cannot directly suck the soul and essence blood. It can only be used through evil magic or magic circles to absorb essence blood or soul alchemy, and then eat it orally.

However, Mu Qingming looked around, but there was no trace of magic in this vicinity. There is not even a trace of the arrangement of the magic circle, only a faint demonic aura, obviously not by evil people, nor by evil ghosts, but by monsters.

"Is it the Immortal Dao?" At this moment, Zhao Liang also squatted down beside Mu Qingming, glanced at the corpse in front of him and asked softly.

"Not this time." Mu Qingming shook his head slowly and replied, "But the things that are troublesome are as evil as the Immortal Dao. ”。
