Xu Jianping is sitting in the carriage at the moment to meditate on the Qi Hai Dantian, the Haoran Qi left by the old man Zhang is really weird, only one night of kung fu, the true qi in the Qi Sea Dantian has been restored seven or eight, after yesterday's desperate battle, the shackles of the sword qi in the body have been loosened, it is obvious that this is the precursor of the realm to break through, after receiving the report from the city gate guard, Yin Song Huaijin of Jingzhao Mansion sent someone to the Li Mansion to inform Xu Jianping that everyone thought that Xu Jianping needed to recuperate at home today, and never thought that Xu Jianping would hear about this case, Unexpectedly followed lively, Jingzhao Mansion Yin was worried about his body, and specially arranged this special carriage.

Xu Jianping himself was not good at riding, and originally planned to use light skills to go on foot, but seeing Song Huaijin arranging this, Xu Jianping hurriedly pretended to be weak and got into the carriage with one bone, just taking this opportunity to consolidate the loose sword qi.

I don't know why, after yesterday's battle, Xu Jianping found in vain that the power of his soul has increased significantly, if he wants to open the third eye before, he must use the things of Yin and the medium to open the eyes, but now as long as he thinks about it, the soul eye can be opened, but he needs to continue to consume the power of the soul.

I don't know how long later, Xu Jianping, who was meditating in the carriage, paused, the carriage stopped, the coachman lifted the curtain, and shouted softly inside, "My lord, it's time to the ground." ”

Xu Jianping got up and stepped out of the carriage, and there was a remote village in his eyes, with cultivated fields on both sides of the avenue, Song Huaijin led the people of the Criminal Prosecutor's Department to walk along a winding path to the opposite house, Xu Jianping hurriedly followed, fortunately, it was a sunny day in June, and the ridge was not muddy, and it was comfortable to walk.

Outside the manor door, there is a side door that has been opened, obviously someone has entered before, when Xu Jianping walked to the courtyard, the light inside was dim, the June day, in this courtyard actually felt cold, people couldn't help but tighten their clothes.

Many of the officials who entered the courtyard were frightened by the scene in front of them, the whole courtyard was a strange magic circle, on the hundred-year-old locust tree in the courtyard, eighteen corpses hung upside down, each of them had a small hole in the center of their eyebrows, blood flowed from their foreheads along the hair to the ground, along the eighteen grooves on the ground, slowly flowing to the root of the ghost willow tree opposite, the corpse after a few days of exposure, although in the shade, but still began to rot, a lot of maggots and mosquitoes are dancing around the corpse at the moment, "quack, quack, quack, quack" Several crows hovered in the air, never left for a long time, even if everyone pushed the door in, the crows did not disperse, a gust of wind hit, the foul smell confused the entire space, seven or eight officials could not control it, and the outer wall of the hospital began to vomit.

On the ground, the strange Yin Yang Tai Chi Array also exuded residual power at this moment, and the resentment in the sky filled this space, ordinary people may not feel it, but Xu Jianping's soul power was extremely keen, and at the moment when he was just admitted to the hospital, countless obsessions continued to impact his mind.

Song Huaijin covered his mouth and nose with his right hand, he didn't know how to deal with this scene, it stands to reason that as the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, even if he went to the scene to investigate the tragedy of the Bai family five years ago, more than 100 lives have never been as terrifying as today, and the resentful spirits are not dispersed, covering the sky and the sun, as if they are in hell on earth, the slightest coolness, teaching people to involuntarily want to quit this courtyard.

More than a dozen officials are wilting at the moment, completely lacking the alertness and courage of the past, but Zhou Buyi, who was born for a living, walked over firmly after the initial panic, this is his job, but also his faith.

At this moment, there was a burst of chatter outside the courtyard gate, Shangguan Rui came with the people of Dali Temple, after what happened in Shangguan Mansion last night, Xu Jianping had already let go of his prejudice against Shangguan Rui, but he didn't know if he still hated himself.

The three families who said that they were going to cooperate in investigating the case, it was always late for Dali Temple, perhaps this is the root cause of why the Imperial History Mansion has developed so rapidly in recent years, Yin Song Huaijin of Jingzhao Mansion saw that the personnel of the three parties had already arrived, so he said, "Lord Xu, let's start!" ”

Xu Jianping was not polite, and walked straight towards the big locust tree, because he felt that the scene in front of him was familiar.

Xu Jianping walked to the big locust tree, looked around, stretched out his hand, took out gloves from the wooden box and put them on, walked to Zhou Buyi's side, and asked, "How?" ”

Zhou Buyi was inspecting a corpse with both hands at the moment, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes and looked down, and saw that it was Xu Jianping, and then replied respectfully, "Returning to Lord Xu, according to the preliminary examination, the cause of death was the sword in the eyebrows, and the blood flowed to death, according to the degree of decay of the corpse, as well as the shadow filling of the knot marks on the ankle, the time of death should be three days ago." ”

Xu Jianping sighed softly, squatted down, pulled over the upside-down corpse, and didn't care about the maggots on it, stretched out his fingers, and poked through the wound between his eyebrows, "The cause of death is indeed excessive bleeding to death, but you look at its wounds, slender and narrow, and every corpse is like this, it must be done by a swordsman, the time of death must not be three days ago, the person is hanging upside down, the brain will be rapidly congested, and his ankle will not be able to supply blood for a long time, so the rope strangulation will be darker than usual, The time of death judged from this must be wrong, the murderer opened a hole between the eyebrows of the deceased and bled out, which obviously accelerated its blood flow speed, the reason why the corpse decayed accelerated, one is that it is hot, and it is exposed to the sun, and the other is that this magic circle has a corrosive effect, so the degree of decay of the corpse will be more obvious. And they must have been alive when they were hanging, so they set up a method of killing......"

Xu Jianping didn't finish speaking, because he seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't seem to want to say it explicitly.

Zhou Buyi was listening to Xu Jianping's analysis, and he was amazed, and said secretly, "I never thought that I had been in the industry for more than 20 years, and I couldn't compare to a scholar who was less than 20 years old" But he was a person with a sloppy heart, and patiently compared Xu Jianping's words with the situation on the corpse one by one.

Xu Jianping saw that there was nothing to be found on the corpse, so he turned to the ghost willow tree, stood in the position of the mysterious person that night, looked at the big locust tree opposite, and looked at the eighteen dark red blood troughs from far and near, gathering at his feet, such a strange magic circle, there must be someone here to perform some kind of evil magic, combined with yesterday's chapter of the living dead, Xu Jianping understood that this may be the secret method of making or maintaining the living dead, but he does not know the essentials at present, if he can catch the chapter alive yesterday.

Just as Xu Jianping was pondering, a person rushed in at the door and shouted:

"My lord, it's not good, at the gate of the city, there are people, some people are eating people!"
