Chapter 38: Suspicion
The tone was different from the previous one, this time it seemed to be tyrannical and evil under the impatience of trying to make a quick decision, and the corpse golems suddenly made a sound of their heads shattering. The next moment, it was like a smashed watermelon bursting instantly, and then it burst open, and his body fell like an autumn straw, no longer moving.
Qian Lingxin was dumbfounded, this is his original strength, right? It's so brutal.
This strange and treacherous technique is rare in the fairy gate, and Tan Hengshu is also frowning, looking at the man's back with a face as heavy as ice.
Yu Tianyin put down his mouth to snatch the soul, and a gloomy and treacherous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking no different from the original Demon Lord.
Although this song is evil, it can't be determined that he has practiced some kind of evil art or to see his identity, and Yu Tianyin will be so fearless because of his arrogant and uninferior nature.
Even if Tan Hengshu only felt the confusing feeling on this person's body, he couldn't do anything to him.
Yu Tianyin put away the bamboo flute, put it behind his back with a dozen spins in his hand, and walked over to look at Tan Hengshu as if nothing happened: "Master Tan, these murderous corpses don't seem to be easy, what are your plans next?" ”
Tan Hengshu looked at this person again, and the rebelliousness between his eyebrows suddenly coincided with a person, and his eyes were similar for a moment, and he was silent in the face of this question.
Shallow Lingxin stood up from the ground, and when he walked towards them, he suddenly had a hard twist on his chest, and he almost fell down with a stumble under his feet, but was caught by the two of them at the same time, one left and one right.
There was still some solidification between the two of them, and they both became worried, and almost at the same time asked a word of concern.
Qian Lingxin waved his hand and said nonsense: "The water is not good, and the abdomen is full of pain - a little dizzy after squatting for a long time, it is not in the way." ”
The two of them who heard what they meant, strange expressions flashed on their tense and cold faces, and they were embarrassed.
Yu Tianyin let go of his hand without seeing it, Tan Hengshu looked at her face but felt that it was wrong, the hand was also cold, and the backhand was changed to probe the pulse, and after a while, he found that the pulse was different, but he only asked politely: "You...... Do you have a heart disease? ”
Yu Tianyin's face changed slightly when he heard this, thinking that he had noticed something, so he said to Qian Lingxin like a boat: "You forgot to take medicine?" ”
These words made Qian Lingxin react, and he looked at the puzzled gaze of Tan Hengshu who probed his pulse, and had to be kind to Yu Tianyin's words: "Come out in a hurry, I forgot to bring it." ”
In fact, it wasn't that she didn't bring it, but she really forgot to eat it, Yu Tianyin took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and poured out a pill, forcibly pinched her jaw and stuffed it in, and then closed it to force her to swallow.
Qianling coughed violently: "You want to murder your own sister!" ”
Before leaving, Tan Hengshu added a higher-level defensive magic circle to the outer layer of the Su family, and the defensive range was also several times larger than the original.
Yu Tianyin was very cold before leaving, and he didn't even have a word of concern between his brother and sister, turned around and left in another way, and Qian Lingxin went to Nanxiang with Tan Hengshu.
Nanxiangcheng is located in the prosperous capital of the south of the Yangtze River, the official roads extend in all directions, the waterway here is through the open sea and the canal, and the trade between Tiannan and Haibei has driven the prosperity of the economy and commerce here.
As soon as I entered the city, I was attracted by the bustling and bustling scene of Heqing Haiyan, which was completely different from the image of evil spirits here that Tan Hengshu cherished words like gold and told her on the road.
Tan Hengshu changed into the dark arrow sleeve light robe again, and the back line of his long body was smooth and straight, but he was quite chic and handsome, it seemed that as long as he had the intention to hide his identity and cultivation, he would change into this seemingly down-to-earth black simple dress.
After entering the city, Tan Hengshu went straight to an inn, and it seemed that he was familiar with the road without hesitation, as if he was going back to his own home.
The first floor of this inn is a wine shop for people to eat, and the upper floor is a guest house. The innkeeper is a woman, looking at her early twenties, Xiu is dressed plainly and elegantly, and her appearance is beautiful, she looked up at the man in black who entered the store with a slight pause on her face, and then looked around, and came up and said to Tan Hengshu very respectfully: "Son, your room is ready, so follow me to the upstairs private room." ”
The innkeeper didn't ask, and directly led the way, so that Qian Lingxin understood that this must be what Tan Hengshu knew, so he didn't have any doubts, and then followed to a room upstairs and more inside.
After pouring the tea, the proprietress looked at the pretty woman next to her and said with a slight smile: "It's the first time I've seen my son bring the girl back, and she looks really beautiful and lovely." The girl's room is next door, and I'll take you there in a moment. ”
Qian Lingxin smiled and nodded in thanks, and Tan Hengshu over there saw the doubts in her eyes, so she said: "She is the eldest sister of Mo Fan, her name is Mo Yan, and this is their family property." ”
Qian Lingxin greeted each other, and said silently: "Childe is too polite, what industry is not an industry, if it wasn't for your help and support, I'm afraid that a few of us would only live on the streets...... Childe will rest for a while, and I will send someone to let Mo Fan come over. ”
After the proprietress went out, she looked out the window at the tables downstairs that were red and slightly drunk, and the people at the table were spitting and chatting about the anecdotes in the city.
Qian Lingxin retracted his gaze and fell on the person opposite, and asked: "Immortal Venerable, I just heard someone along the street say something about the "perverted flower thief", which is related to the evil spirit in the city?" ”
Tan Hengshu raised his eyes to look at her, put down the cup in his hand, and said simply: "Recently, a woman in the city disappeared and was killed, and when she found her corpse, she had no clothes and her hair was shaved. ”
Qian Lingxin was shocked by this terrifying news, and wondered: "There are corpse puppets in Yunjin Town recently, could it be the same person?" Or that their real stronghold is in Nanxiang City. I've never understood what good it is for the people behind this to refine these elixirs to harm the civilians, is it just to turn them into corpse puppets for his own control. ”
Tan Hengshu said: "The people of the ghost village are just victims of trials, and if the main leader is in Nanxiang, he doesn't have to go far, his purpose is not just to refine corpse puppets. ”
Qian Lingxin pillowed his arms on the table, and said to humanity with a look of curiosity and inquiry: "I heard that Xianzun cares about the common people, and there are deeds that will happen in times of chaos, and now you are the head of the family, and you can no longer bow to everything." If Nan Xiang is just an ordinary evil, you can let the capable disciples of the sect come to settle down, and you can let you run away in person, what happened here is definitely not an ordinary thing. ”
Tan Hengshu's eyes lit up slightly, with a hint of praise and approval, and he did not hide it: "It's really unusual, this matter is related to the stolen spirit weapon, are you still interested in participating in the future?" ”
Qianling's brows jumped, he really didn't dare to answer this easily for a while, as if he would be lured into a trap by Follow-by-Good.
Tan Hengshu looked at her and continued: "Speaking of spiritual weapons, once the Jade Lingding was also stolen by the Demon Gate, it is rumored that they opened the seal to refine Gu poison, and those who did not obey in the door were forcibly subdued, and then they were controlled by it for the rest of their lives, I don't know if you have ever heard of this?" ”
Qianling's heart was shocked, and his heart sank to the bottom at this moment, but there was no expression on his face. She was secretly amazed that she could be so silent in front of someone like him. Thinking of being taken by him today, did he find anything unusual?
Just when the atmosphere between the two sides began to condense a little, the silence was broken by the sound of the drunk man at the table downstairs slapping the table.
The big man was quite rude, and sneered and said: "What kind of bullshit national teacher, he is a gossip to confuse the charlatans, the important ministers of the court have long complained about him, and the old emperor is stupid and incompetent to listen to and believe in this demon way, and he actually began to cultivate immortals and ask for immortality." Didn't you see that the daughter of the DPRK and China in court would be killed for no reason? I don't think it's a flower thief who committed the crime, it's this demon who did it secretly! These old emperors were tricked by him into cultivating immortals and refining pills to ignore the affairs of the dynasty, if it weren't for the great prince to stabilize the dynasty from the side, this country would be in decline! ”
The opposite table echoed: "I heard that the emperor cultivates immortals not only for immortality, but wants to resurrect a concubine who once loved foreign countries, the concubine once gave birth to a son who also left the palace and disappeared when he was young, I heard that this missing prince is the future prince candidate, but it is a pity that he has been missing for so many years, who knows whether he is dead or alive now." ”
Qian Tingxin retracted his thoughts of listening to gossip, but saw that Tan Hengshu on the other side was gloomy, and the slender fingers of the porcelain cup on the table were also tightened.
When she was puzzled, the door behind her was opened, and a man in a light gray suit walked in, it was Mo Fan, who was a little dusty.
Mo Fan didn't say much after greeting the two, and went straight to the point: "Childe, maybe things have changed, judging from the methods of these successive cases, it is indeed the same person, and his subordinates have also obtained some news from his father-in-law among his peers in the court, and all kinds of indications indicate that this national teacher may really be him." ”
Speaking of this person, Mo Fan's bright expression showed the grief and indignation of the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he privately knew that the decline of the Mo family was not accidental, but every time he mentioned Mo Yichen, there was an indelible shallow sadness and sorrow in his eyes, and he couldn't bear to ask about the ins and outs of this matter.
Mo Fan, who called himself a "subordinate" in front of Tan Heng's writing, was also quite curious about the two who seemed to have another layer of master-servant relationship, Tan Hengshu just frowned and nodded, it seemed that he had already known this result, and he was not too surprised.
Mo Fan mentioned another matter, and said vaguely in his words: "Also, I saw Lishuo at the gate of the city yesterday, saying that he was ordered by Xun Zun to escort Miss Liu of Qingzhou back to buy some exotic spices for Lan Zun, but Lan Zun doesn't hate incense the most, every time I go to find my son, I dislike the white sandalwood fragrance in your quiet room and avoid it, how can he have this hobby this time." ”
When he heard this, he felt strange for a while, remembering the strange feeling he had when he first saw Lishuo yesterday, and couldn't help asking, "When did you see Lishuo?" ”
The two of them looked at each other suspiciously, and Mo Fan said, "It's about three o'clock in the afternoon, what's wrong?" ”
According to the footsteps from here to Qingzhou, it will take at least one day and one midnight, and yesterday I left Shuo close to noon, and it was obvious that I left the team halfway and came here.
These words also deepened the original doubts in Tan Hengshu's eyes, obviously he also saw the clues, he didn't say much, he pondered for a moment, and just said to Mo Fan: "The next thing will be handled by me, you two stay in the inn, remember, don't let her go out and walk around at night, and don't meddle in this matter." ”
Qian Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and choked him unscrupulously: "You are not kind, you just said that I should participate, so you plan to leave it alone?" ”
