Chapter 4: Murder
Shen Changgui walked around the street, looking at the jewelry on the street for a while, or at the rouge watercolor that flaunted the high-quality goods. But without exception, they couldn't get into his eyes, they all leaned over to look at them, shook their heads and walked away.
I think it's still delicious.
"Rack, rack. The sound of horses' hooves galloping was heard, and a group of soldiers came quickly, led by an inconspicuous dwarf with a thin body and withered yellow skin. Shen Changgui looked at the group of people carefully, all of them were full of sadness, and a few of them were full of anger.
"Isn't that person again? "It should be, the grandfather of this team of soldiers came a few times before. The crowd behind Shen Changgui was muttering quietly, and he felt that something was wrong, and he followed closely behind the team, and walked for about a while. What attracted Shen Changgui made him unable to calm down anymore.
In the middle of a busy city, two corpses hung on the archway of a restaurant, both of them had their throats cut, a cross had been cut out of their abdomen, and the intestines inside had been dragged out, and the blood had not dried up. Shen Changgui was shocked by the scene in front of him, he didn't expect that someone would dare to commit murder in broad daylight in the imperial capital. And what the people said before made him realize that this was not the first time.
The soldiers quickly dispersed the crowd, and the leader ordered the two corpses to be taken down, and walked over to observe them carefully for a long time. "Fuck, there's no clue at all. It's the fifth fucking time, and I'm going to cut him a thousand times if I catch this bastard. ”
Shen Changgui noticed that there were no other scars on the two corpses, and he simply cut his throat, killing with one blow, and the hands of the two corpses were calloused, and there were some traces left by the tiger's mouth. With a slight outward thigh in his temples and a slight turn out of his eyes, he was clearly a veteran of external skills, and he was able to kill two veterans of external skills so easily, Shen Changgui's back was cold unconsciously.
"What are you doing here? Did you sneak out of the palace again? ”
Shen Changgui heard an extremely familiar voice, which was like a nightmare to him. Shen Changgui squeezed out a smile and turned his head, and an old man with blue skin and silver hair stood behind him, his sharp eyes seemed to devour Shen Changgui alive. This person is one of the three marshals of Great Qin, poison handsome, and also Shen Changgui's father-in-law.
"Father, I ......"
"Don't explain, I don't have time to mind your right now, come with me and see. ”
If you usually see Shen Changgui fleeing from the palace without permission, you must drag him back to the palace by the ear, but today's poisonous handsome is obviously clear about the severity.
The poisonous marshal took Shen Changgui to the two corpses, and the soldiers wanted to stop them at first, but when they saw an old man with blue skin and silver hair, he was not angry and arrogant, in Daqin, they only knew one such person, and that was the poisonous marshal. Moreover, this green-skinned old man has a red jade pendant pinned to his waist, and there are three people in Daqin who have a red jade pendant given by the emperor, and these three people are the three handsomes today.
"Liu Tieshui, the captain of the second team of the Iron Cavalry Guard, see the poison commander. When the little man saw the poison handsome coming, he immediately came to the luggage, and the poison handsome waved his hand. "Get up, and you don't have to bow during your routine. ”
"This son?" The little man had never seen Shen Changgui and couldn't recognize him.
"It's nothing, the apprentice I just accepted. ”
Hearing the apprentice that the poisonous marshal said, although Liu Tiezhuan was full of doubts, it has always been rumored in the army that the poisonous marshal acted in his own way, and he was alone, when did he have an extra apprentice, but he didn't dare to ask more. Shen Changgui also breathed a sigh of relief, if these soldiers knew that he was the crown prince, I was afraid that the bullshit that such a filthy place was not good for the dragon body would come out. His father has been crawling at the knife edge all his life, killing countless people and not seeing any dragon body restlessness. For this kind of talk, Shen
Changgui is just a polite casual reply, and he doesn't say anything.
Seeing the scene in front of him, even the poisonous handsome who licked blood from the knife was quite shocked.
The poisonous handsome stepped forward and sniffed the corpse gently, stroked the wound of the corpse with his long cyan slender fingers, and gently flicked the corpse's chest. In the twilight, the poison commander pulled out a dagger from his waist and cut the corpse open in the blink of an eye. Shockingly, the internal organs of the corpse were shattered, and the bones were intact. This scene shocked everyone present.
"Long ...... No, come here. The poisonous commander beckoned to Shen Changgui. The crown prince was shocked by the scene in front of him, he couldn't imagine who could be so cruel, and he couldn't imagine how much these two people had suffered in their lives. The prince walked up to him, his shattered internal organs, hideous face, and intestines pulled out, very disgusting.
Poison Shuai made a straight face, and said in an extremely low voice: "These two people have some level, they are not half-, the path of martial arts, they already have the strength to break the mountain realm, it's a pity." ”
Shen Changgui had also heard what Li Banting and he said about the Seven Realms of Martial Arts, and he was also a person who practiced swords, and he also knew something about the Seven Realms of Martial Arts, but he only knew a little about it. Poison Shuai looked at Shen Changgui's thoughtful appearance and sighed helplessly.
"The path of martial arts is divided into seven realms, which are known as the seven steps to the sky. This first step is called incarnation. If you enter the realm, you can be a ten, brave and unparalleled, this kind of person is lucky, and there are generals in the war era, and no matter how bad you are, you can be a hero. The second step, called the Condensation Realm, is copper-skinned and iron-bone, which is difficult for ordinary people to pierce even with a sword, and this kind of person is most suitable for carrying the flag. That guy used to be a rebel. The third step is called Douhai Realm, and Douhai Realm is said to be able to open a mountain with strength and split the sea with a sword, but the mountain can only be a small mound, and the sea may just be a puddle. Compared with Li Banting and Wu Xizhen's opening of mountains and waters, it is too much worse. The fourth step is a big step, and when you reach this step, you can explore the way of heaven and quote the heavenly machine, which is called the Purple Hui Realm. Although it is possible to quote the heavenly machine, if you rashly quote it, you will be punished by heaven, and the original Eastern Emperor Taiyi also attracted the punishment of heaven, but this guy opened the sky directly. The fifth step is the Vientiane Realm, stealing the essence of all things and turning all things into use. There are very few masters in the Vientiane Realm, and there are few people in the world who have the Vientiane Realm, so naturally they have very little understanding of the Vientiane Realm. And this sixth step is this innate realm, which creates something out of nothing, and something that is anti-nothing. The powerhouse of the innate realm, counting on two hands, has no way to understand the sentence that is made out of nothing, and there is no one who has not reached the innate realm. This last step is known as the Divine Mystery, and in the mystery, it is invisible and unheard. If there is a word, it does not see its form, and if it is nothing, all things come into being. In this Divine Mystery Realm, there is no one else except those two old monsters. As for Na Huang Changling, if he learns the Six Dragons before the age of thirty, he will enter the Divine Xuan, and if he does not learn the Six Dragons before the age of thirty, he will have no hope in his life. Those who can reach this divine realm are to ascend to the sky, and it is not a problem to ascend to immortals, so it is to ascend to the sky, but those who can ascend to the sky under the sky can only be counted with one hand. After that, the poisonous handsome looked up to the sky and sighed, as if he remembered the old days, and sighed.
"Father-in-law, what realm are you?" Shen Changgui asked in a low voice
The poisonous handsome gave him a blank look. "You'll know when the time comes. ”
"These two people, both of them have stepped into the Condensation Realm with half a foot, and those who can kill the two of them so easily, and can't leave a trace of resistance, must at least have the strength of the Purple Emblem Realm. The poisonous handsome was thoughtful, and suddenly beckoned Liu Tiezhuan to come.
"How many people have died like this?"
Liu Tiezhuan didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "Back to the poisonous handsome, there are five cases in total, the first time was half a month ago, an old man selling steamed buns was killed. The second time was three days later, and the deceased was a woman from a green house. The third time was seven days ago, and the deceased was a family of five people, including two children and an elderly person. The fourth time was two days ago, the deceased was a servant, and this servant, unlike the others, was skinned and cramped in a terrible way, and the fifth time was today. ”
"Find out what is the intersection between these people, and I will take over this case personally. As soon as you have any news, you can report it to me directly, and you don't need to report it to your superiors. ”
"Yes. ”
"Gui'er, come home with me. After speaking, the poisonous handsome raised his red robe, grabbed Shen Changgui, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
The poisonous marshal did not take Shen Changgui back to the mansion, but took Shen Changgui to a ruined temple outside the city. This temple is dedicated to the Jizo King Bodhisattva, but due to the long-term abandonment, there are countless wooden planks, stones, and cobwebs on the walls of the temple.
"Father-in-law, what are you bringing me here for?" Shen Changgui, who looked disgusted, covered his nose, this dilapidated temple had begun to have the musty smell of rotting wood due to disrepair, and even the Bodhisattva was missing a nose and ears. The poisonous handsome ignored Shen Changgui and was looking for something. The poisonous handsome searched for a long time without saying a word, and sighed helplessly.
"A talented person is not the work of one person. ”
"What?" Shen Changgui looked at the burly silver-haired old man with a blank expression.
"The two men shattered all the organs with a single blow at the moment of their throats, and the blow was in the skull, so that the man could die without a trace of pain. The man shot so fast that he didn't even notice the person who cut his throat, and I only found out when I looked closely, so the eyes of those two people bulged out. I'm afraid these people who died this time are not so simple. Poison Shuai looked dull, and he didn't expect such a tricky case.
"So what are you doing here? Shen Changgui was puzzled, even if it wasn't from one person, he couldn't understand why he came to this place where birds don't lay eggs and rats don't spread.
"Five shots in just half a month, I thought he would keep a low profile and hide in the shadows, the only place where the entire emperor can be unnoticed is here, I brought you here to see what clues there are, but unfortunately this person is more thoughtful than I thought. Or maybe you have the absolute strength to dare to do this. The poisonous handsome squatted on the ground unwillingly and sniffed carefully, but he still shook his head helplessly.
Shen Changgui gasped, he didn't expect that his seemingly rude stepfather would have such skills. In memory, fighting on the battlefield, the informalistic father-in-law is not at all like the poisonous handsome in front of him.
What the two didn't notice was that behind the locust tree outside the door, there was a dark shadow.
