Chapter 42: The Underworld May Have Answers

After a period of pretentious humility, Master Araki finally finalized his "sacred mission" tonight: to take the risk and go to the underworld to inquire about the cause of the deceased's death. Therefore, all the next arrangements have to be arranged around his "mission......

Once everything was arranged, Master Araki began to close the door and take a shower and change clothes. Things have progressed to this point, and it is already the so-called "everything is ready, only the east wind is owed"!

At the third watch that night, Master Araki wore a robe and held a copper chime, and walked solemnly into the Luohan Hall. Since it was a "high-level call" with the underworld, Master Araki in the Arhat Hall could only go alone, and not even a novice could follow him.

In the Arhat Hall, the doors and windows were closed and the curtains were covered, and under the dim light of several Buddhist lamps, Master Araki recited the words in his mouth and spent nearly two hours silently reciting the large "Pushan Reincarnation Sutra". So, what is the purpose of Hebal Log, who has spent so much effort and pretending to be a fool of himself, to "toss" for half a night?

This Heba Yuanmu, who pretended to be "Master Araki", obviously could not sincerely help Ye Xianling solve this mysterious case, and the real purpose of his trouble tonight was to pretend to be a ghost - of course, it was for himself, and he had to personally investigate the real cause of Xiao Liang'er's death. Because in Heba Yuanmu's opinion, Xiao Liang'er, who has no grudges and hatred with others, was suddenly attacked, and this matter is indeed very strange!

Therefore, he did not hesitate to make up a series of nonsense in exchange for the opportunity to take a closer look at the corpse. In the end, after nearly two hours of silent recitation of the scriptures, Heba Yuanmu finally saw the cause of Xiao Liang'er's death completely - the slender wound on the top of the neck!

What made Heba log unbelievable was that such a wound was obviously not caused by an ordinary sharp weapon, and its small size - indicating that the injured thing was thin and sharp, and its length - showed that the person who threw it out had an amazing human nature, which was by no means comparable to ordinary martial arts practitioners! So, which master of the road will this do?

There is also a place that people can't figure out, since it is the work of a peerless master - why should such people have trouble with an orphan child who is scavenging? Could it be ...... Thinking of this, even Heba Yuanmu, who has always been murderous, can't bear to think about it anymore!

……

These days just after the rainy season, the weather is indeed a bit muggy. Yang Ermu fanned a pu fan again and again, and endured the unbearable stuffiness in the room to watch intently-the second secret letter that his brother had just sent again.

Looking at it, Yang Ermu didn't seem to feel so stuffy anymore, and even began to have a shuddering reaction. The secret letter that his brother sent him was like a piece of ice that had accumulated for years - making Yang Ermu feel a cold breath coming out of his heart directly, and then he trembled!

It turned out that Master Araki had thoroughly investigated the cause of Xiao Liang'er's death that night, and he had been thinking about that strange wound all along...... In the middle of the night, after tossing and turning in bed for a long time, he finally suddenly remembered: When he went to Qingcheng Mountain in his early years to find Qingrenmen's mildew, Xiao Wu never briefly mentioned to him the killing method of Lingyike.

One of the secret techniques of killing people in an instant is "with a movement of the neck, the leaves fly out"! The leaves that flew out of the ground were so powerful that they often hit the enemy's vital point in an instant—and they slashed at each other, and the opponent didn't even have time to shed a drop of blood.

Now, if you look carefully at Xiao Liang'er's wounds, isn't that - it's obviously the trick of the Clothed Guest's secret technique? As soon as he figured this out, Heba Yuanmu suddenly felt a chill rush towards him, and then shivered all over!

At this time, outside the window on the left side of the Luohan Hall, there seemed to be a black shadow floating by...... In that state of suspicion, it was difficult for Hebal Logs to see the fleeting shadow very clearly, but after that, he vaguely felt that the erratic shadow just now should have been left by a sturdy man wearing a hat and a robe! He, can't he be the clothed man, the extremely terrifying Great Evil Star?

After disturbing himself for half a night, Hebal Log began to gradually calm down, plotting how to escape the terrible punishment of the clothier...... On the verge of despair, he suddenly remembered that more than ten years ago, in the remote Demon Scorpion Ridge in eastern Liaodong, he had encountered a rather absurd thing unexpectedly.

Could it be that the monster at that time was haunted, and it came back to him after many years? Suddenly, Horbald found himself almost caught in the circle of bizarre opponents such as "Monster Killer" and "Monster Killer", and couldn't extricate himself for a moment - how could this be?

The old log decided to sober himself up completely, so he walked out of the Luohan Hall with his feet and came to the edge of the "Longquan Well" in the temple. Like a piece of wood, he mechanically lowered the small barrel that was wrapped around the wheel, and soon shook a bucket of cold water. After lifting the bucket of water high and giving himself a "Daigo empowerment", the old log finally got the "soberness" of his whole body.

After the temporarily sober Heba log returned to his bedroom, Kazui lay on the bed, still wondering the question: Why does a top master need to do something to a wild child who is scavenging? In fact, the answer is not difficult to speculate, that is: the Clothier does not want others to know about his existence at all, or - for fear that someone will reveal his whereabouts.

So, what kind of top-secret thing did the cloth guest do when he came to Yongwei City very secretly? Could it be...... He didn't dare to think any further, because he was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep anymore, so He Bayuan simply got up and got out of bed, lit the oil lamp, and started writing a second secret letter to his younger brother Gumu. After releasing the pigeon, he began to rummage through boxes and cabinets, looking for it all night......

More than ten years ago, in the remote and bitter cold land of eastern Liaodong, there was a place called Demon Scorpion Ridge on the way to Heba Log. I don't know what kind of force drove him, but he suddenly had a great curiosity - he wanted to climb this mountain to take a look.

At the top of the Scorpion Ridge, Hebal found a blood-red boulder shaped like a large scorpion - a blood-red sword with a sword body was deeply embedded in the boulder, and a rune was attached to it. What's even stranger is that the blood-red long sword is still dripping blood all the time! It looked like the boulder was a flesh-and-blood living being, and the sword had just been inserted into it......

How can there be such a bizarre phenomenon in this world? He Ba log, who was stunned for a while, was like the second monk - confused!
