Chapter 30: The Living Dead
Li Buxiu was actually aware of Long Qingwan's temptation, and he also knew that his unstable cultivation might be noticed by her, not only her, but also the two Hu brothers had already discovered some clues.
But this is also a helpless thing, anyone will doubt it after a long time of contact, but fortunately, his second yuan god has also begun to stabilize, and he should be able to stabilize the three of them in terms of pure strength. Long Qingwan loves to stir up trouble from time to time, Li Buxiu is also helpless, just a few days ago, he even wondered if he should let her go directly, staying by his side is just a scourge, sooner or later he will be mad. But after thinking about it carefully, it is safe to keep her by her side, and she will definitely have to untie her cultivation before she leaves, and now she can't recover her cultivation, in case this demon girl doesn't follow the routine and beats herself on the spot, then the fun will be great.
In the past two months, Zhang He has basically come to visit every four days, and every time he is so respectful, as if Zhang He's attitude towards himself has become a habit, which makes Li Buxiu can't help but admire him for having such patience and the demeanor of a person who has achieved great things.
Until a week ago, Zhang He came to see Li Buxiu worriedly, without the usual steady, seeing him like this, Li Buxiu guessed that he might be in trouble, but Zhang He didn't say what the specific thing was, Li Buxiu didn't ask, at that time Li Buxiu was busy stabilizing the second elemental god, and he didn't think too much, but he didn't see him come over again in the next few days.
........................
"Immortal Master Li... Immortal Master Li, something big has happened Immortal Master Li, you must help me with this..."
Li Buxiu was sitting in the room drinking, thinking about how to deal with the affairs of Long Qingwan and the three of them in the future, but at this moment, he only heard a voice from outside the door, and his voice was a little panicked and trembling, is this not Zhang He or who? Li Buxiu was also strange, and he didn't know what happened to him, but he also got up and stood up in time, and as soon as the words fell, he saw Zhang He hooking his back, with two dark circles under his eyes, his face was a little pale, and he hurriedly walked in with a panicked expression. Li Buxiu's face was calm, and he arched his hand and asked:
"City Lord Zhang is so flustered, I don't know what happened?"
"Alas, Immortal Master Li, there is a strange thing happening in the city now, it is very weird, and we are helpless now, so we have to come to Immortal Master Li"
"Oh? City Lord Zhang, please sit down and speak slowly."
Seeing that he looked flustered, Li Buxiu still asked him to slow down first, picked up the freshly boiled tea on the table, took out a cup and washed it with tea, gave Zhang Hezhi a cup, and then said:
"City Lord Zhang doesn't need to panic, drink tea first to suppress the shock"
"Okay, thank you Immortal Master Li"
Zhang He also knew that he was too anxious, and when he saw Li Buxiu pouring him a cup of tea, he suddenly felt that he was also a little thirsty, so he didn't shirk it, he drank it all, took a deep breath, tried to keep himself calm, and then said:
"Immortal Master Li, we suspect that there is another demon in the city, so this time we have to come to Immortal Master Li for help again"
"Oh? Please also ask City Lord Zhang to elaborate"
Li Buxiu was also curious for a while, not long after the fox demon case was solved last time, why did he make trouble again so quickly? Sun Ming, the mastermind behind the scenes, has been caught, and it can't be that he caused the incident. And under normal circumstances, it is rare for monsters to cause large-scale disasters to mortals, and monster cultivation also has its own path, and absorbing the essence of human beings is undoubtedly the most undesirable, just cause and effect.
"It's like this Immortal Master Li, some time ago, a strange incident called the 'living dead' began to appear in the city, this living dead looks like ordinary people on the surface, and their words and deeds are exactly the same as normal people, if you meet them on the street, you won't feel weird at all."
Li Buxiu saw that he finished drinking the tea, and poured him another cup, Zhang He saw this, took the tea and drank it again, and felt a lot more stable in his heart, and continued to say slowly:
"The first time this matter was discovered was ten days ago, there are ten guards in Zhenguan, responsible for handling the daily litigation and other cases of the people in Zhenguan, and this matter was first discovered in the home of an old couple in Beiwan District, the woman's name is Zhou Yan, she is forty-six years old this year, his oldest half is called Han Wei This year is forty-seven, both of them are ordinary people, they had a son in their early years and later died early, until now the two have no heirs, although the two often quarrel, but the relationship is still very good, the family's source of income depends on Han Wei to go out to pull rickshaws to make money"
Last time, Li Buxiu asked about the specific life background of the victim of the demon peace, and this time Zhang He specially investigated the living background of the husband and wife, and tried to let Li Buxiu have more information.
"Han Wei is also very hard-working, he may also know that he has no heirs, while he can still work hard to make money, he is usually very tough, he pulls people during the day, and he doesn't rest at night, and he can still earn some money every day. It was discovered that it was ten days ago on the night, Han Wei solicited customers at night, and when he went home, it was basically 10 o'clock in the evening, and sometimes he often did not return, just ten days ago on the night when his wife Zhou Yan inadvertently touched his hand, and immediately felt that his hand was very cold, and instantly frightened Zhou Yan, thinking that he was seriously ill, and hurriedly helped him check his body, which frightened her.
Li Buxiu saw that he drank a little fast, and poured him another cup of tea, this time Zhang He didn't drink it immediately, Li Buxiu also saw that he talked about the key point, and didn't disturb him, and continued to listen quietly after pouring the water.
"Zhou Yan discovered... Finding that Han Wei's body was cold and did not have any temperature, he touched his pulse, actually... There's no heartbeat..."
Speaking of this, Zhang He's heartbeat began to become rapid, his emotions began to become unstable, and the fear on his face was difficult to hide, so he had to drink it all in one gulp with tea before he felt more comfortable.
Zhou Yan was so frightened that he couldn't speak, but he still held back his fear and told Han Wei about his situation, and where would Han Wei believe her, Han Wei touched his body and said that he had nothing to do, and immediately scolded her again. Zhou Yan also thought that she had made a mistake in her hand, and checked it again, and found that it was still the same, and she was even more panicked at the moment, in order to verify who was wrong, she hurriedly ran to the neighbor next door, and found that the neighbor next door had a pulse temperature, but her husband didn't, and immediately scared her so much that she didn't dare to go home..."
"Just when she was about to enter the door with fright, she found that her husband appeared behind her at some point, and as soon as she turned around, she was choked by her husband's neck, and then I saw that his husband was still the usual appearance, his face was blue, his eyes were deep, his lips were black, and his face was hideous.
"The next day, Zhou Yan went to Beiwan Yawei to report the case, Beiwan Yawei is also the first time to encounter such an evil case, the coroner found after an autopsy that Han Wei has been dead for three days, and according to Zhou Yan, Han Wei was still pulling the car last night, which is undoubtedly very weird, but after the investigation, he was ruled out to kill, and the reason could not be found later, so the case was shelved"
