Chapter 32: The Scholarly Spirit

"I know the head of this manor. ”

Seeing Gu Bai looking at this manor, Xie Changan said: "He and I are classmates, and they are classmates in adversity. ”

Gu Bai turned his head and looked at him suspiciously, "Fellow student in tribulation? ”

"In the academy assessment, he was the second, and I was the first..."

Silence in the air.

Xie Changan looked up and saw Gu Bai and Gouzi looking at him strangely.

He rolled his eyes, "Countdown." ”

Gu Bai and Hook were stunned.

Confucianism and Taoism practice, the cultivation is the scholarly spirit, if you do not understand the literature and ink, the knowledge and learning are not deep enough, you can not practice at all.

Xie Chang'an's idioms can be used incorrectly, and the knowledge can be imagined.

"As for why it is not a brother in distress. ”

Xie Changan sneered, "This kid is too self-motivated, and he has always wanted to break away from our team and strive for the top." ”

Therefore, they are not brothers, they can only be regarded as classmates.

"Is it wrong for others to be self-motivated?" Gu Bai despised Xie Changan, "You are really a scumbag." ”

Xie Changan didn't know what the scumbag meant, and it was not a good word to think about.

"If you can't share weal and beg, what brothers are you talking about?"

For Xie Chang'an, the academy assessment is the first-to-last, that is a disaster, and he will have to be punished by the county order when he goes back.

"However, this guy is really not very talented. ”

Although he worked very hard, smelling chickens and dancing every day, getting up early and studying at night, he still couldn't improve his cultivation. ”

"At the end of the day, he was still my fellow student in trouble. ”

Xie Changan's tone was full of schadenfreude, and at the same time a little lucky.

Gu Bai felt that this scumbag was hopeless.

"What are you afraid of. Gu Bai asked him, "Even if this guy rises up, someone will come down." ”

He patted Xie Chang'an on the shoulder, "As long as you don't work hard, no one will take your seat." ”

"Go, do you have any dreams. ”

Xie Changan slapped his hand away, "As long as he is still the bottom two, I have a chance to surpass." ”

If this classmate is also motivated, then no matter how hard he tries, he can only be one down.

Gu Bai was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Xie Changan was fighting this idea.

"I really don't understand the world of scumbags. Gu Bai shook his head.

Head west along the edge of the estate.

Less than a hundred paces, a small river appeared, flowing out of the estate.

Wang Shouyi stayed behind to wait for them here, and the rest of the people chased south along the river.

Gu Bai and the others then turned south.

The banks of the creek are planted with willow trees, and the willow branches fall on the surface of the river, rippling round and round on the surface of the river.

Ducks and geese swim on the river, an idyllic scene.

It's just strange that on both sides of the river, there are all grassy wilderness, which has never been cultivated into fertile fields.

After walking some distance, they saw Wang Shouyi and others standing not far away.

They exchanged heads and ears, not knowing what they were talking about.

"Caught somebody?"

Xie Changan was overjoyed, and chased after him in three steps and two steps.

Wang Shouyi and the others didn't speak, but just made a way and let Xie Changan walk in.

"Gross. ”

Without waiting for Gu Bai to walk up, Xie Changan covered his mouth and ran out again, holding on to a tree and spitting up.

"What did you see?" Gu Bai wondered, "Didn't the hook get you used to it?"

"you..."

Hook Zi said half a sentence, thinking that Gu Bai said this, she stopped in time.

"You're smart. Gu Bai was proud.

Since Youqinglou accepted this demon in the world, Hook no longer dared to speak up unscrupulously.

Gu Bai walked to the front, and after seeing what the Demon Suppressor was guarding, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose and frown.

Underneath the embankment, there was a mud pit, which had been hidden with mud and thatch, but now it had been dug up by the arrestees.

On the top floor of the pit, there is a pile of heads in the shape of a finished glyph.

Some rotted and exposed white bones, some were covered with maggots, some were large, some were small, but they couldn't see their true faces.

The open mouths of these heads, the dark eye holes, the hideous faces, and the smoky smell all make people feel terrible and want to vomit.

The fast catchers and demon suppressors who tracked down, even though they were used to seeing corpses, and suddenly saw so many, they couldn't help frowning.

"Where's Guapo?"

Gu Bai twisted his head to the side and looked around.

Here, the creek widens and becomes a pond overgrown with early weeds.

There was still a wilderness around, and there was no fertile land in sight.

Naturally, you can't see half a figure, and the field of vision is extremely wide, so it is indeed a good place to do evil.

"Ran here and disappeared. Wang Shouyi said.

When they got there, they suddenly disappeared.

The demon masters thought that Gua Po would not disappear out of thin air, and that she must have been hiding nearby, so they began to search around.

It was also because of this search that they found the grave.

"Certainly, it must have been that Gua Po who killed someone. Xie Changan was used to spitting, and said while spitting.

Wang Shouyi nodded, "And it's rape first and then kill." ”

The demon schemers thought so, too.

"Let's take stock of the bodies first. Gu Bai suggested.

He felt that if this melon woman ate people, Xie Changan would have been here.

"Yes, take an inventory of the bodies. Wang Shouyi ordered the catchers to go down, endured the discomfort, and moved the bodies out one by one.

Underneath the skull were the bones of a porcelain corpse.

Strangely, the bones were fragmentary, all severed by a sharp blade, or knocked out.

Gu Bai took one, removed the silt, looked at it carefully, and said strangely: "These bones are boiled." ”

"Cooked?" Wang Shouyi and the others were shocked.

Gu Bai nodded.

Boiled bones become hard and break easily.

Wang Shouyi: They took one and looked at it.

The flesh on these bones is rotten, but it can still be seen that there are signs of cooking.

"And you see, most of these bones are chopped into this way with sharp blades, which may be axes or knives. ”

Gu Bai played with a thigh bone and pointed it out to the demon suppressors one by one.

"Why did you chop it like this?" asked Xie Changan, who spit it out.

At the same time, he looked at Gu Bai with great admiration, "You're not afraid?"

"Old Gu dares to sleep with the hook, what else is there to be afraid of?" Wang Shouyi replied for Gu Bai.

Everyone nodded suddenly.

"It's not. The hook was very angry, "The word sleep is used so ambiguously, why don't you want to be a little crooked?"

Xie Changan: "In the eyes of the monk, you can't even count as a pink skeleton, let alone in the eyes of Lao Gu." ”

"Back to the point. Gu Bai threw the white bones back into the corpse pit, "Don't you think that chopping it so long is to facilitate gnawing?"

Everyone suddenly realized that it was.

They usually nibble on a rib, and it's so long.

"So, do you also think that the murderer is that Gua Po?" Xie Changan never forgot about Gua Po.

Gu Bai shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"The priority now is to find out the identities of the dead," he said. ”

If their identities are understood, they may know who the murderer is.

"That's right. Xie Changan nodded.

He instructed Wang Shouyi and others to go to a nearby village to check on anyone missing.

The demon masters stayed in place to check whether there were any traces of monsters and ghosts in the surroundings.

As for Gu Bai, they stayed away from the corpse pit and sat under the willow tree and on the river embankment.

"Childe, copy the book. ”

As soon as Xie Changan sat down, he saw that the hook put down the bookcase that he had been carrying behind him, and took out the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and mat.

After closing the bookcase, Gu Bai sat on the ground and put the bookcase in front of him.

Xie Changan was dumbfounded, "Isn't it, you won't be idle in this kung fu?"

"Time is of the essence, and it cannot be wasted. ”

Gu Bai sighed and picked up the pen to write.
