Chapter 58: Tracking Down the Corpse Thieves
Su Yunfei, whose strength has improved greatly, is eager to find someone to discuss, so he finds Ye Tingcheng and Dongfang Nan, but one of these two wants to retreat and impact the Venerable Mirror, and the other sect is busy with affairs, so they both rejected Su Yunfei's idea of wanting to discuss, which made him very depressed.
After thinking about it, he decided to go to the sect's affairs room to pick up some sect tasks.
Due to the great reputation of the Shushan Sword Shrine, there are many things that the Terran people from all over the country ask the Shushan Sword Shrine to come forward to solve, so the tasks of the sect affairs room are also very many.
Tasks are classified as beginner, intermediate, urgent, and special according to their level of difficulty.
Special-level tasks are generally only taken by powerful elders at the level of powerful elders.
Su Yunfei browsed for a while and chose an urgent task.
Tianmall, Lingnan County, adjacent to Shu County, had a number of newly buried corpses half a year ago, and the grave was dug up the next day.
At first, the family of the deceased thought that the deceased had turned into a ghost, which caused the family members and neighbors to panic, but after many days, nothing strange happened, so the family began to report to the police.
In the past six months, there have been more than 200 cases of theft of corpses, although there has been no loss of personnel and finances, but after all, the deceased is the greatest, and the government still arranged a lot of officials to look for them, but nothing was found.
In the end, the lord of Tiancheng City reported to the Lingnan County Government, and the county guard felt that this matter was too strange and should be related to the monks, so he asked Shushan Sword Shrine to help investigate the case thoroughly.
After reading the file, the elder of the affairs room felt that it should be related to the corpse chasing faction that had been exterminated at the beginning, so he listed this matter as an urgent task.
------
After Su Yunfei took the task, he said goodbye to Yue Yao, and then Edgeworth flew towards the Heavenly Mall.
Tian Mall is a small city with a population of just over 100,000, located in the southwest of Lingnan County, surrounded by mountains.
Entering the Heavenly Mall, he found a place according to the file.
He knocked on the door, and it was a woman in her forties, with a graceful figure and a delicate face, who should have been a lady when she was young, but she should have been too sad recently, and the tears in the corners of her eyes were more obvious.
The woman opened the door and saw Su Yunfei, paused for a moment, and then asked weakly, "What's the matter with this son?" ”
Su Yunfei replied respectfully: "Hello, I'm here to investigate the recent theft of the body, can you tell me more about it?" ”
When the woman heard this, she sighed, then led Su Yunfei to the lobby, made him a cup of tea, and then said slowly: "My lord died last month, and his body disappeared mysteriously the day after he was buried.
Poor master of my family accumulates virtue and does good, he is a famous good person in the sky mall, but he is not at peace when he dies. The woman burst into tears, wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
Su Yunfei listened patiently, and when he saw the sad woman, he was very angry, this group of corpse thieves was too much, and even the body of such a good old man had to be stolen.
Su Yunfei said to the woman: "I have a general understanding, and I will definitely do my best to find the corpse thief." ”
The woman hurriedly wiped her tears and thanked Su Yunfei: "Then there is Lao Gongzi." ”
Walking out of the door, Su Yunfei exhaled a long breath, a little bored, the clues he learned did not help to find out the murderer, he visited a few more houses and still found nothing.
He decided to find out if anyone had done a funeral recently, and after many investigations, he learned that someone was buried in a village outside the city today, so he secretly went to the vicinity of the village and hid it.
In the evening, he found the new grave and was about to wait for the robbers in ambush nearby, when suddenly torches lit up around him, and a group of villagers armed with sticks surrounded him.
"Crazy corpse thief, I finally caught you today!" The villagers shouted angrily and excitedly.
Su Yunfei suddenly had a big head, and hurriedly explained: "Everyone misunderstood, I am not a corpse thief, I am also here to catch corpse thieves like you!" ”
"Phew! We caught a show and still don't admit it! The big guy knocked him unconscious and sent him to the government tomorrow! One of the villagers was furious
A group of villagers began to besiege Su Yunfei, and then he was all put down by him.
The villager who was put down asked in horror, "What are you going to do?" Killing people is a head-off. ”
Su Yunfei also said with some anger: "Say it again, I'm not a corpse thief!" ”
Then he wasted all his strength, and his voice was smoking, so that the villagers could believe that he was not a corpse thief.
Then he and the villagers lay in ambush here all night, but found nothing.
After waiting for three days and still finding nothing, some villagers had lost their patience and walked partially.
On the fourth day, there was still no waiting for the corpse thieves, and the remaining villagers had no patience anymore, and some even complained: "If the corpse is lost, just throw it away, it's no big deal, Lao Tzu won't wait, stay here at night, it's better to go home and sleep with your mother-in-law." Eventually, all the villagers left.
Su Yunfei stayed alone until the second half of the night, and he was also restless, when suddenly he understood the slight footsteps and slowly walked towards the tomb.
He suddenly lifted his spirits, reined in the steam engine, and walked in the direction of the footsteps, he did not immediately alarm the man.
I saw that the man took out a shovel very neatly and began to dig the grave, looking around from time to time, his movements were very skillful, and he was a habitual offender at first glance, and the aura emanating from this person was the steam engine of the entrance mirror.
Su Yunfei decided to see which direction he was going next.
After a while, the man dug up the corpse, and the air was instantly filled with a disgusting smell of corpses, and Su Yunfei had to immediately close his sense of smell.
The man put the body in a bag, picked it up and ran to a jungle, Su Yunfei immediately followed, and after chasing him to the depths of the jungle, the man disappeared out of thin air under Su Yunfei's nose.
He immediately searched around several times but still didn't find any trace of that person, and suddenly he was a little puzzled, could that person be stealth, Su Yunfei frowned and pondered, his eyebrows were wrinkled into a Sichuan shape.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, there should be a hidden space formation here, so he began to sense the energy fluctuations around him.
After about a quarter of an hour, he finally reached a spatial node, and then entered without hesitation.
There is really a hole inside, no wonder so many government officials and ordinary people have been looking for months and have not found any trace of the corpse thief.
It's terrifying, filled with an endless eerie atmosphere, like a netherworld, which makes people shudder.
Su Yunfei walked forward cautiously, and after walking for a while, he found a cave on his left, and he held his breath and slowly walked into the depths of the cave.
The cave was about the size of ten houses, and when he walked a little deeper, he saw a scene that made him a little frightened, only to see rows of corpses standing in unison, young men in brocade clothes, old people in Confucian robes, peasants in cloth clothes, etc., men, women, and children, more than 300 corpses.
Each corpse closed its eyes tightly, its face was pale, and it exuded a thick evil aura that made people shudder.
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps at the entrance of the cave, Su Yunfei quickly found a shadow to shield the whole body of the steam engine, hidden, only to see two men walk in, one of the men wondered: "It's strange, I obviously sensed that there was movement here, why did I get here but there was no sound?" ”
Another man yawned and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't be suspicious, we have long been isolated from the outside space here, and no one outside can find it at all."
After a while, these corpses will be raised to the strength of the Broken Fan Mirror, and we will be able to start a sect, anyway, the Lingnan County Mountain is far away from the emperor, and no one can control us. ”
When the two were about to leave, Su Yunfei suddenly took action, first cutting off the head of one person, then knocking the other person unconscious, and then sealing the hole with sword qi. This series of actions is completed between lightning and flint.
Waking up that person, Su Yunfei asked in a deep voice, "What kind of organization are you?" Why dig up the bodies of those people? ”
Seeing the tip of the sword pointing at his neck, the man trembled with fright, and he stammered, "We are the surviving disciples of the previous corpse chasing sect,
In order to re-establish the faction, our senior brother needs new corpses to raise corpses, and when these corpses are raised into ghost corpses, we can re-establish the faction. ”
Su Yunfei frowned, and asked suspiciously, "What is a ghost corpse?" Is there still a grade? ”
The man swallowed his saliva and replied: "The ghost corpse is the zombie in folklore, it is the lowest level of the combat power of the mortal realm, and then there is the human corpse, the combat power of the Dao mirror, followed by the combat power of the earth corpse and the sky mirror, followed by the demon corpse, the combat power of the Venerable Mirror, the combat power of the first-order king mirror of the heavenly corpse, the combat power of the second-order emperor realm, the combat power of the third-order emperor mirror, the divine corpse can be psychic and also has the combat power of the divine mirror, and the highest is the combat power of the immortal corpse immortal mirror, that is, the corpse is psychic into an immortal." ”
After hearing this, Su Yunfei's scalp was a little numb, and the corpse could still be psychic in the end, and he could even become an immortal.
Su Yunfei asked again, "Who are the strong people you have here?" ”
The man cautiously replied: "The highest realm is Senior Brother, he is the king realm, but he has not been here recently, and he doesn't know where he has gone."
There are also three senior brothers of the Venerable Mirror, and the others are all disciples who have broken through the mortal to the Sky Mirror, and by the way, there are six demon corpses? ”
Su Yunfei was shocked, there are nine powerhouses of the Venerable Mirror here, fortunately, the senior brother is not there, otherwise it would be really difficult for him to deal with these people and corpses alone.
"Tell me where they usually live?" Su Yunfei shouted.
The man hesitated, and only after Su Yunfei used the tip of his sword to cut a bloody mark on his neck, he said hesitantly: "We have twelve caves here, and now this cave is used to raise these newly acquired corpses, and the next cave entrance is for our ordinary disciples, and then there are three senior brothers and one cave for each person, the middle one is the senior brother's, and then there are the cave entrances of the six demon corpses." ”
After listening to this, Su Yunfei felt that he had almost understood it clearly, and then cut off the person's head with a sword.
He began to think seriously about how to fight next!
