Chapter 2: The Second Way of Death
"Xu Xingren, something happened again, this time it's even more terrifying, let's go to the yamen and take a look!"
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was slightly light and the curfew was lifted, a servant ran to Xu Ping's door and shouted.
The yellow dog lying in the courtyard opened its eyes and sniffed slightly.
"Dead again!"
Li Tai'an, who was sleeping in the room, walked out quickly, and just saw Xu Ping getting dressed and quickly following the official away.
Li Tai'an squinted his eyes and looked at the backs of the two people leaving.
"Don't worry about what you shouldn't be in trouble!"
This is the answer Xu Ping gave to Li Tai'an yesterday.
"The smell of blood is very strong, and it is estimated that the death is a bit miserable." The yellow dog slowly came to Li Tai'an's side.
Li Tai'an whispered: "We can't wait like this, let's go and have a look." ”
After Li Tai'an finished speaking, he quietly followed, and the yellow dog turned into a light and shadow and entered Li Tai'an's body.
The official took Xu Ping and came to the gate of Yizhuang.
Yizhuang has a large number of coffins that are not buried, and the yin qi at night is extremely heavy, so in general, except for the caretaker of Yizhuang, few people dare to come at night.
After Xu Ping came to the gate of Yizhuang, he led his servants to live and not enter Yizhuang.
"It's in the middle of Yizhuang, you can see it as soon as you enter!"
"I, I'm not going."
So in the end, Xu Ping entered Yizhuang alone.
The official seemed to think of something, couldn't help but shudder, and then took out a yellow talisman from his arms and pinched it in his hand.
"Master bless, master bless!"
Li Tai'an looked at the officials who didn't go in, and he also had a headache.
The construction of Yizhuang is very closed, except for the gate at the door, the surroundings are closed.
After all, it is a place to store the dead, too much access space is always bad, and ancient people believed in the existence of yin and evil, so Yizhuang is generally extremely closed.
"I can't get in!" Li Tai'an said embarrassedly.
Then he pulled out an ancient book from his bosom.
It's just that the ancient books didn't react at all.
"There are two possibilities, one is because there are really no foreign beasts, and they are made by people or dirty things; The other is that the aura of the alien beast is too well hidden! ”
The yellow dog's voice came out again.
"Whatever the reason, we have to see these two bodies, and only by seeing these two bodies can I make a better judgment."
Because the cause of Liu San's death was too strange, coupled with the rumors in Xingxian County, his family did not dare to come to claim it, so he put it in Yizhuang.
"Xu Xingren, I'll go back to the county government to report first, and I'm sorry for you to come back early after the inspection!"
Just when Li Tai'an didn't know how to get in, the official opened his mouth and shouted.
Then without waiting for Xu Ping to respond, he turned around and left quickly.
Strange places, strange ways to die, these things make him dare not stay longer!
Li Tai'an seized this opportunity and quietly sneaked into Yizhuang, blending in the shadows, quietly observing the surrounding environment.
Entering Yizhuang, there is an ancient gossip mirror hanging above the door, and two brand-new door gods are also posted on the door.
There were several coffins in the huge room, and Xu Ping was checking in the center of the room.
"Do you smell anything?"
"Except for the strong smell of blood, there is no smell of alien beasts!"
Li Tai'an looked at Xu Ping, with him there, Li Tai'an didn't dare to make too big a move.
"Wow~~~"
But at this time, a baby's cry came into Li Tai'an's ears, which was very light and crisp, thin and soft.
But on this kind of night, this cry has no hope of new life at all, but is more like the cry of a female cat in estrus in spring, infiltrating and terrifying.
"Did you hear that?" Li Tai'an hurriedly asked.
But the yellow dog was confused: "What? ”
Li Tai'an looked up at Xu Ping, he was still concentrating on checking, and he didn't seem to hear this cry.
But at this time, the crying sound was getting louder and louder, and Li Tai'an could even distinguish the direction that came from him, but Huang Gou and Xu Ping were still indifferent.
"I heard the baby's cry!"
After speaking, Li Tai'an quickly ran in the direction of the baby's cry.
There is Xu Ping in Yizhuang, and he doesn't have any good opportunities for the time being!
And this weird cry made Li Tai'an even more concerned.
When I came back to the street, after the toss just now, the sky had begun to light slightly, and even some people had begun to light up the cooking smoke.
Get ready to start the day.
In Qingruiguo, the main productive force still depends on farming, so domestic farmers account for the majority, and for farmers, morning is undoubtedly a very important time.
But still, except for Li Tai'an, the rest of the people had no reaction to the so-called baby crying at all.
Even the yellow dog still didn't hear it after hearing Li Tai'an's explanation.
Quickly crossing the two streets, at this time, the baby's cry had slowly disappeared, but fortunately, Li Tai'an remembered the position at the beginning, so his speed did not decrease.
Then, Li Tai'an saw an extremely amazing scene.
The yellow dog, which was included in the Alien Beast Record, also saw an amazing scene.
The official who had just left stood in the middle of the street, his hands pressed to his throat, he wanted to call for help, but no sound came out, he could only wave his arms indiscriminately.
The lower abdomen slowly bulged, the eyeballs quickly bulged, and the whole face began to turn pale.
Bang!!!
With a loud bang, the official had already fallen to the ground, without the slightest life.
During the whole process, except for Li Tai'an, who had just arrived, there was no third person!
The yellow dog reappeared, vigilantly observing his surroundings, his nose twitching wildly, he wanted to sniff out a clue.
At this moment, he also believed that the cry Li Tai'an heard was not just wrong.
Li Tai'an slowly walked to the side of the servant, his face was extremely pale, his eyes were about to fall to the ground, and his lower abdomen seemed to bulge like a woman who was three or four months pregnant.
Li Tai'an touched it slowly, the body of the servant was extremely cold, but his clothes were very dry, and his whole body, except for sweat, did not have any water stains.
There is a slight foam of blood on the nose and mouth.
However, the limbs are very clean, and there are no traces of sediment and aquatic plants.
This kind of sign is exactly the same as the death of Liu San said by the diners in the inn.
And these are typical manifestations of drowning deaths.
Li Tai'an took out the ancient book again, just like just now, and still didn't react!
"Let's go first, someone's coming!" Yellow Dog also came to Li Tai'an's side at this time, and if he didn't leave, it would be difficult for him and Li Tai'an to explain clearly.
For Xingxian County, there are two of them, one is a foreign population, and the other is a foreign dog.
Something really happened, and it wasn't convincing at all.
Li Tai'an didn't stop much, followed the yellow dog, and quickly ran home.
Not long after they left, the originally dead official slowly stood up at this time and rushed to the county government step by step.
"Why didn't the Alien Beast Record react at all? What happened just now, was it really not the work of a strange beast? Li Tai'an stood in the room and asked puzzled.
Yellow Dog shook his head, "In fact, a large part of the ability of the Alien Beast Record depends on the strength of the Heavenly Master, if the strength of the Celestial Master is too weak, the ability of the Alien Beast Record will also be greatly weakened." ”
Li Tai'an took out the ancient book in his arms, and there were five ancient fonts on the cover, "Mountains and Seas and Strange Beasts".
There are more than 400 kinds of strange beasts recorded on it, and for each strange beast subdued, the corresponding page will light up.
Until all the alien beasts have been subdued, the mission of this generation of Heavenly Masters will be completed.
But the role of the Alien Beast Record is far more than that, for every generation of Heavenly Masters, the Alien Beast Record is the best cultivation cheat.
Li Tai'an flipped to the record of strange beasts, and the tengu article.
Yin Mountain, there are beasts. Its shape is like a raccoon dog with a white head, and its name is Tengu, and its sound is like a pomegranate, which can ward off evil.
The yellow dog on the side looked at Li Tai'an's state, and also quietly retreated, not disturbing his cultivation.
For the Celestial Master, as long as he subdues a Strange Beast, the Celestial Master can get a corresponding secret technique from the Alien Beast Record.
When all the alien beasts were successfully subdued, it was also the time when the Celestial Master was at his most powerful.
Tengu Sun Devouring Knife, a secret technique obtained from the Alien Beast Record after Li Tai'an subdued the Tengu.
There are a total of eighteen styles, and after Dacheng, it is easy to split the mountains and seas!
Coupled with the characteristics of the tengu to resist the evil, this sword technique is extremely important to Li Tai'an.
If Xingxian in the end is really not the work of a strange beast, but the so-called yin and evil, then Li Tai'an can also deal with it reliably.
But if he wants the sword technique to exert its true power, Li Tai'an still needs to follow the cultivation mantra recorded by the Heavenly Master and cultivate the strength of the Heavenly Master in his body.
With the addition of Heavenly Master's strength, the secret technique is obtained in the Alien Beast Record, and the power can be maximized.
At this time, in Li Tai'an's body, there were only three traces of Heavenly Master strength like a little thumb or so, and it was too early to let these eighteen knives exert their true power.
This is also the reason why Li Tai'an did not bring a knife when he went out tonight.
Li Tai'an closed his eyes, and according to the record of the Heavenly Master, he guided the Heavenly Master in his body to operate little by little.
At the same time, new meridians are being expanded, as long as the meridians are wide enough and there are enough more.
Then the Heavenly Master energy generated by each operation is enough for Li Tai'an to consume.
Time passed little by little, and it was noon in a blink of an eye.
Li Tai'an, who was immersed in cultivation, was woken up by hunger, and the morning's cultivation only made the original three-silk Heavenly Master strength become five-silk, and he couldn't even use a set of sword techniques completely.
"Xu Yanzuo has just come back, and there is also an extremely strong smell of blood on his body, it seems that the corpse in Yizhuang is different from the death method of Liu Sanya's servant!"
As soon as Li Tai'an went out, the yellow dog lying in front of the door spoke.
"Let's go, let's go out into the streets, hear a little more news, and see what's going on with that officer!"
And at this time, the originally dead official came to the gate of Yizhuang and knocked on the gate of Yizhuang.
"Lin Yagong, I don't know what happened to my Yizhuang? Xu Chengzuo has already left, and he is no longer in our Yizhuang. "The old man guarding Yizhuang let Lin Yashi enter Yizhuang.
Lin Ya Servant was expressionless, and quickly walked in front of the two corpses.
"Is the county government planning to take it back to investigate the cause of death?" The old man looked at Lin Yashi and asked.
Because of the two corpses in front of them, one is Liu San's, and the other is the corpse that Xu Ping came to inspect yesterday.
Lin Yashi looked at the two corpses, one of which could still be identified as Liu San, but it had already emitted a strong smell of corpses, after all, it was June.
The other one was completely invisible, with no skin tissue on its body, and even pink polyps and exposed meridian tissue could be clearly seen.
The smell of blood came straight to the face.
Soon, Yizhuang was quiet, and there was not a sound at all.
There is not a single sound!!
