Jiang Pingchuan walked out of the palace and just walked out of the gate of the palace when he saw Ah Hu running out of the side door in a hurry, Jiang Pingchuan hesitated for a moment and followed, Ah Hu must have happened with such a hurried appearance.
Jiang Pingchuan followed Ah Hu all the way to the outskirts of Dongzhou City, not far away was a Yizhuang, Jiang Pingchuan looked at the door of Yizhuang There was already a group of people gathered at the door and didn't know what was being discussed.
Ah Hu squeezed into the crowd, Jiang Pingchuan followed, stood outside the crowd, looked at the people around him, and looked very frightened and pointed at Yizhuang.
Jiang Pingchuan patted a person's shoulder, the man was startled, turned to look at Jiang Pingchuan, and when he just wanted to scold, he saw Jiang Pingchuan's appearance clearly, and the person's face turned into joy.
"You are Mr. Jiang Pingchuan, you came just in time, but something big happened here again"
The man looked at Jiang Pingchuan and said hurriedly, and as he spoke, he glanced at Yizhuang behind him, and his eyes flashed with fear.
"What's going on here"
Jiang Pingchuan nodded and asked, the first major thing he heard when he came to Dongzhou City was about the crisis in Dongzhou City.
However, he still hasn't completely figured out what happened in Dongzhou City, which looks like a prosperous city, and seriously speaking, he doesn't know the slightest bit of news about the big event in Dongzhou City.
"Mr. Jiang, our Dongzhou City depends on you, and today it is already the nine hundred and ninety-seventh people who died, alas"
The man shook his head and said bitterly, his eyes flushed with red.
"Why do people die?"
Jiang Pingchuan held the man's hand and asked, the person in front of him may be too nervous, standing in front of Jiang Pingchuan and trembling.
"Is it Hirakawa?"
The man just wanted to speak, but the voice of the palace master came from the Yizhuang, and the man heard the palace master's voice as if he had been electrocuted, and his body trembled even more, Jiang Pingchuan patted the man's hand and squeezed into the crowd and walked towards the gate of Yizhuang.
Yizhuang in Dongzhou City out of respect for the deceased building is very solemn, walking into the gate of Yizhuang Jiang Pingchuan can smell the strong smell of Xiangjun grass, Xiangjun grass is a kind of herb used to prevent the corpse from decomposing.
It is still relatively common in places like Yizhuang, under the influence of Xiangjun grass, Jiang Pingchuan can only smell the faint smell of corpse decay, Jiang Pingchuan looked at the palace master A Hu and a few people with heads and faces in Dongzhou City, and saw Jiang Pingchuan walk in and the palace master stepped forward to greet him.
"Pingchuan, you are tired enough today, I thought that I would hold a celebration banquet for you later, but it turned out to be this incident again"
Master Gong said with some shame, and the people around him also shook their heads.
"Master Gong is polite, this is what Pingchuan should do, so you don't have to blame yourself"
Jiang Pingchuan said with a smile, he was not interested in participating in any celebration banquet, the main thing now was to solve the crisis in Dongzhou City and then deal with the matter between himself and Hu Mei'er, so that he could take Lan Dao to the royal capital together.
"Hehe, it's good for Hirakawa to understand, it's good to understand"
The palace master patted Jiang Pingchuan's shoulder with a smile, Jiang Pingchuan also smiled shyly, he felt that the palace master in front of him seemed to be much younger.
Moreover, the aura of the whole person of the palace master also had some subtle changes, but where the specific changes were, Jiang Pingchuan couldn't see it for a while.
"Master Gong, what happened here that made the people of Dongzhou City panic"
Jiang Pingchuan is not polite with the palace master, and he will not say too much politely, after all, although the palace master is kind to him, he has been influenced by his brother Jiang Yulong since he was a child, and many times Jiang Pingchuan does not like to talk nonsense.
"What happened here is the crisis of the entire Dongzhou City, in three months, the Yizhuang of Dongzhou City was full of nine hundred and ninety-seven corpses, and the death of these people also indicates that Dongzhou City is about to face a catastrophe."
The palace master stepped out of the way and led Jiang Pingchuan to the lobby of Yizhuang, where there were nine hundred and ninety-seven corpses, covered with white curtains, and what they wanted to study was this new corpse placed at the door.
Jiang Pingchuan walked to the side of the corpse, looked at the corpse that had been covered by the white curtain, squatted down, reached out and slowly lifted the curtain on the corpse, revealing the dead body below.
The deceased's face was blackened and his eyes were sunken, and Jiang Pingchuan noticed a crimson kiss mark on the deceased's neck that belonged to a woman.
Looking at the face of the deceased alone, Jiang Pingchuan has not found any damage, and the only place where Jiang Pingchuan suspects is the kiss mark on the neck of the deceased.
Jiang Pingchuan stood up, Ah Hu just wanted to ask Jiang Pingchuan, but was stopped by the palace master reaching out, and everyone looked at Jiang Pingchuan silently.
Jiang Pingchuan got up and walked towards the corpse inside, lifted each white curtain and directly plucked the neck of the deceased, Jiang Pingchuan found that there was no one here who had more or less kiss marks on the neck of the deceased.
Again, none of the corpses here were not damaged in the slightest above the neck, and all the symptoms were exactly the same as those of the first corpse seen earlier.
Jiang Pingchuan returned to the first corpse and squatted down again and stretched out his hand to put his hand on the neck of the deceased, the deceased was still warm, it seemed that he had just died, and it was already the time of the hour.
This shows that the murderer usually haunts at this time and the murderer is a woman, and the deceased is all men, and when Jiang Pingchuan used his true qi to probe the body of the deceased, he found that all the yang energy in the deceased's body disappeared.
If a normal person dies and still has body temperature, there should still be residual yang energy in this person's body that has not dissipated, but the corpse in front of him has no body temperature and no yang energy.
This attracted Jiang Pingchuan's attention, Jiang Pingchuan stood up and glanced around the entire hall of Yizhuang, the nine hundred and ninety-seven corpses here died in the same way and died in the same state, and the perpetrator was likely to be one person.
"Pingchuan, can you see the clues?"
The palace master looked at Jiang Pingchuan and said, constantly pinching his Buddha beads in his hand, Jiang Pingchuan glanced at the palace master and then looked at everyone present, everyone here except for the palace master is a cultivator with cultivation.
"It is very likely that these 997 bodies were killed by a murderer, the murderer was a woman, and it cannot be ruled out that someone with a twisted personality used this method to kill"
Jiang Pingchuan looked at the old man and said seriously, and when Jiang Pingchuan finished speaking, the faces of everyone present changed slightly.
"Hehe, if it is according to Brother Jiang, then we cultivators are all suspicious?" The ink mouse looked at Jiang Pingchuan and said in a strange manner.
"Ink Mouse, You're talking nonsense"
A cultivator standing opposite the ink mouse said sharply, looking at the person's appearance, he was also an upright person.
"Zhendong, you are afraid of him, I am not afraid, what Jiang Pingchuan means by this, you and I all know in our hearts, my ink mouse made his words clear today, although his character is not good, but he will not do this hurtful thing"
The ink rat pulled out the dogtail grass in his mouth and roared with a red face, Jiang Pingchuan didn't speak, just looked at the people in front of him, there should be no murderer here, of course, Jiang Pingchuan had to suspect in his heart that the murderer was likely to have something to do with one of them.
"Mouse, why are you angry, how can I listen to your words and feel that you are trying your best to exclude yourself, why, be a thief with a weak heart"
Another cultivator dressed in tatters spoke, and the ink rat glared at the man and snorted coldly and stopped talking, holding his dogtail and looking at Jiang Pingchuan.
"Enough, don't quarrel, this is Dongzhou City, we all have a curse on us, no one can run away, this is not the time to mess up, calm down and listen to Pingchuan finish speaking"
The palace lord waved his hand and said in a deep voice, everyone who still wanted to speak obediently closed their mouths, this time the palace lord once again let Jiang Pingchuan see his prestige in Dongzhou City.
I'm afraid that except for the city lord and the dead Han Ming, only Lai Qing doesn't need to look at the face of the palace master, no matter what strength the other cultivators have, Jiang Pingchuan didn't see anyone dare to refute the palace master, even Zhao Kunhe, the president of the chamber of commerce, didn't put on a big show in front of the palace master.
"Pingchuan, you go on, you have also seen it here, the problem that Dongzhou City is currently facing is this"
Gong Lao Ye stopped the others from talking, looked at Jiang Pingchuan and asked with a sad face, Jiang Pingchuan vaguely remembered that Gong Ye seemed to have made an oath in front of the city lord to solve the crisis in Dongzhou City, and it could be seen that Gong Ye was very anxious now.
"Master Gong, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and I am afraid that a rash move will startle the snake."
Jiang Pingchuan thought for a long time when everyone was talking, there were some things he had to guard against, he only helped out of kindness, but he didn't want to drag himself too deeply.
"Hehe, I don't think Jiang Pingchuan has any good ideas, so let's leave Dongzhou City quickly."
When the ink rat heard Jiang Pingchuan's words, he frowned, and the dogtail grass in his mouth kept shaking and muttering.
"Hehe, what the ink mouse said is right, I have no countermeasure, but there is a solution, there are already nine hundred and ninety-seven corpses here, the murderer is very likely to be practicing a kind of exercise, conservatively estimated that a thousand people are needed, and the crisis of Dongzhou City will naturally be lifted after three more times"
Jiang Pingchuan looked at the ink mouse and said lightly, this is his estimate, and there are several such exercises mentioned in "Ten Thousand Laws".
Hearing this, the ink rat looked at Jiang Pingchuan and snorted coldly, turned around, ignored the crowd and left directly.
As he left, he spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth on the ground and broke it into three.
