Chapter 74-75: Broken Corpses

Perform light skills and run quickly.

"Out of the mountains, into the city!" Xiao Daogu said weakly lying on Xu Sheng's back.

Xu Sheng nodded and said, "Understood!" ”

Xu Sheng had also thought in his heart before: The immortal cultivators in this world are too weak, right?

But these days, Xu Sheng has also talked a lot with Xiao Daogu.

I know that these immortal cultivators in the Liaozhai world are actually not that strong.

When they wield their mana, they do have extraordinary power.

But their mana can't be used indiscriminately!

They are all used with the same care as the poor people's money, and they are used very carefully!

They also generally don't show their extraordinaryness in front of ordinary people.

He will not appear in front of the people in the city.

Because these can all become cause and effect!

For example, after you appear in front of others, some dignitaries and magnates have to pester you to help him do something, that is trouble.

What's more, if you are targeted by the ideology of the entire imperial court, it will be a big trouble!

Can you kill one or two officials, kill one or two gangs, and kill one or two thousand soldiers?

But what if the whole court comes to your troubles?

Being targeted by a person and directly wasting mana, cutting the grass and eradicating it will be fine.

But once it is targeted by the 'ideology' of the dynasty, it is a nightmare for cultivators in this world!

Unless you can kill all the people in the world, or you can directly change the dynasty!

Otherwise, your troubles will never end.

Because as long as the 'ideology' of the dynasty is not extinguished.

Officials, catchers, and soldiers are dead, and a new batch will be put on duty.

Endless!

Never stop!

How can a monk who doesn't have that much mana to use withstand?!

In short, all these factors that cannot be cultivated with peace of mind are easy to cause them to be consumed, and thus they are all the causes and effects that delay their becoming immortals.

Therefore, these practitioners basically do not appear in front of others.

The reason why many people live in seclusion and break off love is that they don't want to be contaminated with cause and effect!

They hope to be able to cultivate in a peaceful environment that does not consume their immortal potential.

Every time you use mana, it is a waste of resources, and it becomes a stumbling block on the road to becoming an immortal!

It's so difficult to talk about immortal cultivators in the world of fasting!

If their mana can be used endlessly, where will they be willing to retreat into the mountains?

I have long come out to suppress the army with mana, unify the world, and be worshiped by the incense of thousands of people!

A few hours later.

Xu Sheng took Xiao Daogu into a city ruled by the warlords of the Zhao clan.

Chunyoko didn't chase after him.

"How is it, Fairy Gu, are you alright?" Xu Sheng walked on the crowded street, turned his head sideways and asked the little Taoist aunt who was carrying him on his back.

"I can't die yet, it's just that my mana is exhausted and I'm injured."

The little girl said with a pale face: "You hurry up and find an inn to live in, I must absorb your yang energy as soon as possible to recover mana and then use mana to heal my own injuries." Otherwise, if it drags on for too long, I'm afraid my path will fall! ”

Xu Sheng had chatted a lot with Xiao Daogu before.

I know that among these cultivators, there are two concepts of Taoism and mana.

Taoism is the realm!

Mana is equivalent to the internal strength of martial arts.

After Xiao Daogu used his mana every time he consumed it, he absorbed Xu Sheng's yang energy and recovered his mana.

But the Tao needs to be improved by her own cultivation.

"There's an inn over there!"

Xu Sheng nodded and said, "Immortal Gu, bear with me!" ”

"Let's go!" He carried Xiao Daogu on his back and walked quickly through the crowd to the inn.

Ten minutes later.

Inn room.

"Xu Longsheng, my limbs are a little weak now. I can't move, you can only move. ”

Xiao Daogu lay at the head of the bed with a pale face, she pursed her delicate lips and said, "You come closer!" ”

"Fairy Gu, do you want to drink some water first?"

Xu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward: "Do you want me to pour you a glass of water?" ”

"No, you don't."

Xiao Daogu shook her head gently, and after speaking, she opened her lips and whispered: "Amitabha! ”

In the blink of an eye, half a month later.

Xu Sheng carried Xiao Daogu on his back to the gate of another city under the rule of the Zhao warlords.

At this time, of course, Xiao Daogu had already recovered all her mana.

"Playing against that old thing half a month ago was the first time I used mana so recklessly."

Xiao Daogu, who was still worried about what happened a month ago, lay on Xu Sheng's back at this time and sighed: "It's a pity, that old thing is too high!" Even if I didn't spare my mana, I still couldn't kill him! ”

The soft voice of her messy hair inadvertently pierced Xu Sheng's neck, spreading a slight itchy feeling.

"When we catch the Painted Skin Essence, you can improve your Taoism and then kill him."

Xu Sheng said: "Haven't we already arrived in this city? ”

When entering the city, Xu Sheng of course put Xiao Daogu off his back.

"Fairy Gu, are you sure that the Painted Skin Essence is really in this city?"

Xu Sheng looked at the people who came and went on the streets of the city, no different from the human cities he had seen before, and couldn't help but ask.

He had no idea that there were goblins and immortal cultivators walking in such a city.

The same city now has a different color in Xu Sheng's eyes.

"I'm not sure."

Xiao Daogu said: "But since there has been a corpse shredding case here, it may be made by painting skin essence!" ”

That's right, the clue of Xiao Daogu's so-called painted skin essence is a corpse crushing case.

When Xu Sheng was on Earth, the painted skin essence in the movies he watched was very arrogant when he ate people's hearts.

Directly grabbed the claws into it, dug out the human heart, ate it, and then directly left the corpse there.

It's a person who sees a corpse like that and exclaims that it's a monster.

As a result, the ending of the movie is, of course, that this arrogant painted skin spirit was killed by human warriors and Taoist masters.

Before he died, the painted skin spirit was still crying there, crying and moving himself, saying that he was sacrificing for love.

Xu Sheng wanted to say that it was obvious that you didn't have enough strength and were arrogant enough to die by yourself, okay?

Originally, Xu Sheng also thought that the painted skin essence in this world was the same as in the movie.

I thought that when I came to the target city, I would see the residents talking about the terrifying demon cannibalism.

And at that time, he and Xiao Daogu stepped forward to show their might, making the people exclaim and worship one by one!

It's a pity that people here aren't talking about painting skin essence at all!

They didn't even know that the painted skin essence existed.

Because this painting skin spirit is not so stupid and not so arrogant at all!

The bodies of those whose hearts were eaten by it and died were chopped up!

It uses clever tactics to disguise it as an ordinary corpse-shredding homicide.

A few hours later.

"Our next step is to get the details of this corpse shredding case file in the yamen!"

Xiao Daogu said with a solemn face: "In this way, we can more accurately determine whether this is a corpse shredding case made by a human being, or a corpse shredding case disguised by the skin spirit for food." We ...... it this way," she planned.

"Want a dossier?"

But Xu Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Why bother? A matter of one word. ”

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Daogu was stunned: "You also have someone in the yamen here?" ”

"I remember there should be!"

Xu Sheng nodded: "Give me a little time, I'll get in touch!" ”

When Xu Sheng left, Xu Huateng handed Xu Sheng a list.

Xu Sheng, the hidden personnel all over the world, can be transferred at will.

In the blink of an eye, it was night.

"This is the dossier? Did you really get it? ”

Xiao Daogu looked at the dossier handed over by Xu Sheng and opened her cherry mouth wide.

"Abominable warlord Son!" She snorted.

Of course, Xu Sheng just smiled at this.

He knew that of course Xiao Daogu didn't think he was really hateful.

is expressing her envy, jealousy and hatred for Xu Sheng, who was born with a golden spoon.

But how did she know that Xu Sheng's noble background now was also the foundation he had laid in his previous life.

If it weren't for the fact that he had accumulated a lot of wealth in his previous life, he would have given birth to a large number of offspring, and he would have scattered his offspring and wealth all over the world.

How did the Xu warlord, one of the seven major forces in the world, come from? Where did he come from the background of his noble warlord son?

A quarter of an hour later.

"It should be made of painted skin."

After reading the dossier carefully, Xiao Daogu said, "That's right! ”

"Why? How can you see it? ”

Xu Sheng was puzzled: "I have also read this file a few times, but I seem to think that it is no different from an ordinary human murderer's corpse mutilation case?" ”

"Intuition!" Xiao Daogu said very confidently.

“???” Xu Sheng opened his mouth wide: "That's it?" ”

"Can't you?" Xiao Daogu is right.

"......" Xu Sheng.

After that, Xiao Daogu explained that she didn't have any special magic weapons that sensed the existence of demons.

"I can only rely on my own senses. But only if the demon uses its powers! ”

Xiao Daogu said again: "When she usually doesn't use demon power, she is like an ordinary person, I have no way to tell whether she is a human or a demon." Especially the Painted Skin Spirit, its camouflage ability is second to none among the goblins. ”

"I see." Xu Sheng nodded.

Thinking about it, no wonder he and Lu Chengzhong and others had been eyeing Hu Xinfeng and Xiaoyou for several years, but those two demons didn't find them!

It is very likely that Hu Xinfeng and Xiao You did not usually use their mana at that time, and lived like two normal ordinary people.

Therefore, they didn't notice that Xu Sheng was watching them at all.

Xu Sheng and the others didn't notice anything abnormal about Hu Xinfeng and Xiao You at that time.

Another month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past month, Xu Sheng and Xiao Daogu have traveled to dozens of nearby cities.

I got the files of the relevant corpse mutilation cases in the yamen of various cities.

Most of the cities directly used Xu's hidden personnel to take out the dossier from it.

Some cities can only be stolen by Xu Sheng directly using super martial arts cultivation to sneak in late at night.

There are some mechanisms that really can't be opened by martial arts, or if they are opened, they will cause too much damage, and they can only be obtained by letting Xiao Dao Gu use mana to get them open.

In short, they managed to get all the files they wanted.

Because I can't find a demon!

It's quite a demon catch, so you can only investigate the case first!

Then the two began to analyze the file and look for clues.

In the end, however, no particular clues were found.

In the end, Xiao Daogu told Xu Sheng that they could only try their luck in the city where the painted skin spirit might be haunted by some small clues on the file.

"Fairy goblins are already very hidden in human cities! Those goblins who don't have super strength but are very arrogant and don't hide themselves, or don't know how to hide themselves, have long since died! Either he was strangled by the army or he was collected and refined by human immortal cultivators! ”

But Xiao Daogu explained: "Subduing demons and subduing demons originally relied on a certain amount of luck. Otherwise, why would those practitioners walk all over the world? You should have seen some monks and some old Taoist priests who always walked around various cities, right? They're just trying their luck! ”

Xu Sheng's mouth opened wide.

But he was speechless.

Because what Xiao Daogu said is very reasonable.
