Chapter 37: In the Soul Fixation
Sending Kong Wuyang back, Shen Lingjun and Su Mu went to find the traces of the disciples of the Cangcheng faction.
However, after searching the entire Lushui Mansion, there was no news, as if it had suddenly disappeared.
Back at the post house, Zhao Qi shook his head after hearing it: "Impossible, if there are people from the rivers and lakes who go out of the city, they can't pass Luo Guangling's eyes." ”
Shen Lingjun naturally believed in the ability of Zhao Qi's subordinates, if he couldn't find it, it meant that there was no Cangcheng sect disciple at all, or he was hiding in a corner of Lushui Mansion City.
Either way, neither of these points makes sense.
First of all, all those who have some fame in the rivers and lakes pay attention to a unique secret, that is, a more talented person who has figured it out by himself, unless he teaches it himself, otherwise others will not at all.
And this dragon snatcher was refined by Chen Xiaotian with his own skills, and then relied on this set of moves to eat all over the world. Later, after his fame expanded, he opened the door to accept apprentices and became a major sect.
Therefore, except for the disciples of the Cangcheng faction, the dragon snatcher would indeed not be anyone.
Furthermore, if you want to say that the disciples of the Cangcheng faction killed people but hid, then why did they deliberately leave a note on the deceased Dai Rong to announce it to the world?
So, none of this makes sense.
Originally, I planned to go to the inn and its surroundings after dinner, and ask the shopkeeper and neighbors about the situation.
But halfway through the meal, there was another change.
This time it was Wang Dashi who came in person, he was in a hurry every time, a set of official robes flew up like the wind, and when he saw Shen Lingjun, he looked bitter, and he was anxious, and wailed: "Lord Siqing, what can I do about this?" ”
First, the prison encountered a bizarre murderer, followed by a herd of wild boars to make a big splash party, and then the three princes of Nanzhao died in the territory under his jurisdiction, and then found that there were dead people in the inn......
The thing Wang Dashi pondered the most in the past two days was that it was better to be ruthless and simply resign from this official! The problem is that these cases have not been solved, and the emperor has asked him not to resign from the government, and it is a big question whether to ask him for guilt!
Especially the three princes of Nanzhao, it is really a headache in the headache, if it is not good to cause the two countries to fight, he will become a sinner for thousands of years.
Shen Lingjun was still one or two years old, and even the usual fragrance of eating was missing, so he put down his chopsticks and said earnestly: "Lord Wang, you have to be calm at all times, how can you be frizzy, how can you still look like a prefect." ”
Wang Dashi arched his hands together: "Lord Siqing has taught me a lesson, but at the moment this case is really clueless, besides, Xia Guan just heard that there was another murder!" ”
Shen Lingjun frowned: "You mean, in addition to the Liu Yuan Inn in the west of the city, there is another murder?" ”
Wang Dashi sighed: "Yes, my lord! ”
The place of the crime is not far from the Liu Yuan Inn in the west of the city, it is a small remote courtyard, the official has asked the neighbors, this house seems to be bought by a foreign businessman, usually no one lives, it has been rented out before, and it seems that the tenant has also moved out recently, so it is empty.
Stepping into the courtyard, there was a strong smell of blood. Looking down, the small courtyard was stained red with blood, and there was not even a clearing where I could put my feet.
In order to protect the scene, the officials only guarded the outermost layer, so no one had examined the corpse yet.
This time, Ye Qingzhi came with her, and as soon as she took a step, Zhao Qi grabbed her.
Ye Qingzhi looked back, her eyes were quite dissatisfied, which meant - what are you doing?
Zhao Qi looked at her clean shoes, and then looked at the blood flowing in the place, reluctant to let her get contaminated.
Shen Lingjun beckoned to Wang Dashi: "What about the Yamen's work?" ”
Wang Dashi turned to look at the official next to him, and someone replied: "Go back to my lord, I am still on the way to come." ”
Ye Qingzhi pushed Zhao Qi away, stepped into it with one foot, the plain white soles were instantly dyed blood red, and her expression was indifferent: "Blood can be washed clean, but what can't be washed is sin." ”
She put the medicine box she was carrying on the side and began to examine the dead carefully. Ye Qingzhi has always been meticulous in treating the dead, no matter who she was when she was alive, when she died, everything disappeared into dust.
Shen Lingjun also walked over, there was a tree trunk to cover it just now, she couldn't see it clearly, but after seeing it clearly, her expression became solemn.
Zhao Qi and Su Musha looked at the two women in the courtyard, and they both had a trace of helplessness. Sometimes it's not a good thing to find someone who is too competent.
"The deceased's nose was cut off, the axe on his left shoulder was three points into the bone, the short knife on his right shoulder was seven inches into the flesh, and there was a hidden weapon between the eyebrows." Ye Qingzhi said while inspecting, and then said, "However, these are not fatal injuries. ”
Shen Lingjun said in a low voice: "The cause of death was blood loss all over the body. ”
"Hmm." Ye Qingzhi nodded: "It can be said that the blood on the deceased has been drained." ”
Su Mu's cold eyes swept over, and said in a cold voice: "Three souls and seven spirits are in the yin." ”
Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?" ”
Su Musha explained: "This is used by some sects in the rivers and lakes to punish traitors or take revenge, which means that his three souls and seven spirits are fixed, and he will not be able to live forever, but can only become a lonely soul and a wild ghost." ”
Zhao Qi sighed and said with a smile: "Interesting." ”
Su Musha's gaze looked at Shen Lingjun who was bowing his head and contemplating in the courtyard, what he didn't say just now was that no one used this technique in the rivers and lakes today, and the only one who used it was the people in the Demon Sect back then.
After Ye Qingzhi finished checking, she picked up a small wooden plaque and showed it to Shen Lingjun, with three words engraved on it: Cangcheng faction.
Shen Lingjun held it in his palm, his brows furrowed, this was the worst outcome.
When he returned to the inn, Shen Lingjun was preoccupied.
First of all, the three princes of Nanzhao died inexplicably in the phantom yin of Xiaoxiangzi, and then the descendants of the Demon Sect died under the hands of the famous and decent - the unique secret of the Cangcheng faction, and the disciples of the Cangcheng faction died under the methods used by the Demon Sect to punish traitors and take revenge.
Either way, there's all sorts of weirdness in this matter.
Only Shen Lingjun and Su Musha knew that no one in the Demon Sect had gone down the mountain at all, and the juniors under the mountain were only doing business, no different from ordinary people, and their kung fu could only be said to be mediocre, playing a role in strengthening the body, and even their older generation of demon skills and tricks were not taught.
Because the old men who returned to the mountain said that the obstacles of iniquity have stopped in their generation, and those of the younger generation should enjoy happiness and live a simple life.
"Hey, I heard you went to see the dead?" Tang Tang came out of the room, holding a corn-nibbled Katz in his hand.
Shen Lingjun did not reply as usual, but turned around and went back to the room directly.
Tang Tang blinked: "Why don't you pay attention to people, the people of the Central Plains are rude!" ”
Shen Changfeng saw it and knew that something must have happened again. And what can make Shen Lingjun show this kind of expression in this world must be related to Guishan.
So, he patted Tang Tang: "I saw the cat eating corn." ”
"Ahh Tang Tang jumped on the spot, got up and flew over: "Stinky cat, dare to grab corn with me." ”
Shen Changfeng shook his head, I'm afraid that only Tang Tang will always be so heartless and full of vitality.
Shen Lingjun sat alone on the roof, holding his chin and looking at the bright moon in the sky.
The white shadow in front of her moved, and Su Mu fell beside her.
Shen Lingjun looked sideways and saw that his posture was chic, and Su Sanshao, who was in the wind of the jade tree, was holding a bowl in his hand, which looked a little unchic.
Su Musha sat down, and Shen Lingjun saw clearly that there were wontons in the bowl.
Shen Lingjun sniffed his nose, the taste was quite fragrant.
Su Musha picked up the spoon and scooped one and fed it, Shen Lingjun opened his mouth, the wonton was slippery? It is moist, crispy as soon as you enter your mouth, and slides directly down the tip of your tongue.
Shen Lingjun narrowed his eyes: "It's delicious." ”
"You didn't have enough for dinner." Su Musha scooped another one and sent it over.
Shen Lingjun chewed and chewed the wontons, and felt that he seemed to be in a much better mood, was it because he was not full?
After a bowl of wontons, Shen Lingjun felt a little confident in his stomach, rubbed it, and said, "This is the king of the street, and his butterfly crisp is also good." ”
Su Mu smiled lightly, and he was really a foodie.
Shen Lingjun raised his head and smiled at Su Musha: "But the noodles you cooked yourself are delicious." ”
Su Musha put the empty bowl aside: "Cook it for you next time." ”
Shen Lingjun was very satisfied: "Okay! ”
With a clear breeze and a bright moon, Shen Lingjun turned sideways, simply lay down, and pillowed his head on Su Mu's body.
"Mumu, I'm a little worried." Shen Lingjun stared at the yellow moon, which was as yellow as the big pancakes spread in the morning, and sighed: "Up to now, this matter can be regarded as involving Guishan and the famous and decent families, if it is spread out, I am afraid it will be impossible to say." ”
Su Musha brushed away the broken hair on her forehead and said, "You are worried that there will be another battle between the righteous and the demons when the time comes." ”
At the same time, the two of them thought that many years ago, there was such a big war on the rivers and lakes, and all the sects united to encircle and suppress the Demon Sect, and there was a lot of trouble, and in the end it was possible to see the killing and blood, and it seemed that those people were crazy. In the end, I can't tell the grievances, as long as you and I are opposed, whether there is an enmity or not, when we meet, we will speak with weapons, and we will never give up if we don't fight until one of them dies.
The rivers and lakes of the year were terrible, but there were also people who liked this kind of fighting, and heroes were born in troubled times, and it was a good time for those who had a heart to become famous in one fell swoop.
However, the catastrophe ended in the hands of the Sword Master and the Demon Venerable. No one knows how long the two of them have been fighting, and who will win and who will lose.
only knew the final result, the Demon Sect led all the disciples to retreat to the mountains and forests, and never set foot in the rivers and lakes again. And the Sword Master also retired to the Yuxiao Peak of Tiantai Mountain, leaving only a legend.
Therefore, everyone believed that it was the Sword Saint who repelled the people of the Demon Sect and made the Demon Sect fall apart overnight.
Shen Lingjun smiled and said, "Listen to my father, the two of them actually played chess for three days and three nights. ”
Su Musha was also a little amused: "Well, my master said he won." ”
"My dad said he won." The moonlight shone into Shen Lingjun's dark eyes, flowing with brilliant waves.
"Ling'er." Su Musha lowered his head, looked at her smart black eyes, and a shallow smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Back then, there was your father and my master, and now, there are us." ”
Shen Lingjun looked at his clear and handsome face, although the smile was light, but it made her heart become extremely peaceful in an instant, and said with a smile: "Mu Mu, you are right, there are always disasters in this world, but there will also be heroes. ”
Su Musha raised his finger and tapped the tip of her nose, and said, "Others need heroes, but ......"
"Huh?" Shen Lingjun's jade-like gaze fluctuated slightly.
Su Mu covered his fingers and brushed his beautiful face, his eyes were gentle like water: "I only need you." ”
Shen Lingjun raised the corners of his mouth, and his smile was as satisfied and proud as a sleeping cat.
Under the moon, the two looked at each other affectionately, and there was only each other in their eyes.
