Chapter 16: Chasing the Murderer
"Brother Zhou, I'll leave this matter to you."
Yang Wufeng's face was sad, and he arched his hand towards the black-clothed young man in front of him.
Zhou Jie's return salute:
"Take people's money and eliminate disasters with people."
"Brother Yang doesn't have to be polite."
This person is a disciple of the Five Dao Sect of the Moon Worship Sect.
"Chasing the Wind at Night" Zhou revealed.
The six major shrines of the Lunatic Worship Sect, the twenty-four ghost halls, of which the five Dao halls are one of the twenty-four ghost halls, which is the hall that is specially responsible for tracking in the Lunatic Worship Sect.
The number of people in the Five Dao Hall is small, but everyone has a superior tracking method.
Zhou Jie is the only disciple of the Moon Worship Sect who has been able to worship the Five Dao Hall over the years.
And Zhou Jie is different from the other old antiques of Wudaotang, he likes to run around, as long as you give money, he can help you do things.
It's just that others are using money to kill people, and he is using money to find people.
In the tomb underground palace, Yang Wufeng and Zhou Jie stood side by side.
Behind them stood many disciples of the Diancang Sect, as well as those Jianghu warriors who were in the underground palace with Chen Yuyan and them before.
Dozens of people, most of them were gathered by Yang Wufeng.
In the face of the prestige of the Diancang faction, coupled with Yang Wufeng's coercion and temptation, most people can only be obedient.
As for the rest, the Diancang faction couldn't find it.
There is no way, although the people of the Diancang faction are strong, the number of people is not exaggerated.
It is also necessary to divide most of the time to block the entrance to the tomb to prevent thieves from taking the opportunity to rush out.
What's more, the tomb area is so large, even if the Diancang Sect has four or five times more manpower, it can't rummage through all of it.
And there is also a possibility that the murderer of Yang Shuimo has escaped from the tomb, and this situation is very likely.
After all, when Yang Wufeng learned that his sister died, it was already two or three days later.
Who would be stupid enough to kill someone and stay around for two or three days?
If the murderer has escaped, with the size of the rivers and lakes, it will be difficult for him Yang Wufeng to catch the murderer even if he has great ability.
Yang Wufeng could only hope that the murderer was greedy and greedy for the treasure in the tomb, and he refused to leave at this time.
Although the possibility is slim, Yang Wufeng is still unwilling to give up.
It was the only thing he could do.
Zhou Jie, who was beside him, took out the wooden box from his arms, stained it with some yellow powder, and smeared it on the lips of the corpses of the Diancang sect placed in front of him.
Yang Wufeng looked at his sister's corpse in the center, his face turned from white to blue, the green tendons on his temples burst out, and his anger was nowhere to spray, and even his cheeks were trembling slightly.
The strong desire for revenge permeated every inch of his flesh and every drop of blood.
After applying all the yellow powder, Zhou Jie put away the wooden box and took a step back.
Immediately afterwards, a strange and terrifying scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
I saw Zhou Jie open his mouth, and a fist-sized black ant slowly crawled out of his throat.
The slender limbs of the black ant rested on the mouth of the tooth and poked its head out to look around.
Seeing this, Zhou Jie stretched out his hand and put his hands in front of his mouth, and the black ant crawled from his mouth to the palm of his hand.
This is Zhou Jie's Gu mother "Smelling Ant Queen", which can accurately track things within a range of thousands of miles.
But this kind of Gu worm is too delicate, every day to swallow the blood royal jelly as expensive as gold, if you don't feed it, then one day is weak, two days of weakness, three days of apoptosis.
Ordinary [Gu Sequence] martial artists couldn't afford to raise a scented ant queen at all, and even Zhou Jie, who had already joined the Lunatic Worship Sect, had to go out often to do things for others in order to bear the high cost of feeding.
The scented ant queen slowly crawled onto Yang Shuimo's corpse, devoured the yellow powder covering her lips, and then puffed out her stomach, squatted on the ground, and began to lay eggs.
The eggs as white as jade were discharged from the queen's huge abdomen, and dozens of them were discharged in a row, and the eggs were piled up into a hill before they stopped.
Then Zhou Jie stretched out his hand to pick up the scented ant queen, and the ant queen returned the same way, slowly crawling back into her throat.
This picture made Yang Wufeng on the side creepy, but he could only watch it hard.
After a while, the eggs hatched quickly, and the slender smelling ants crawled out, flapping their wings and buzzing out.
Zhou Jie's way to find out the murderer is very simple, let the smelling ants find out the people who have come into contact with these disciples these days, and leave the rest to Yang Wufeng to solve by himself.
He's only in charge of finding people.
Dozens of smelling ants scattered, and twenty or thirty of them flew to the Jianghu martial artists next to the disciples of the Diancang Sect, which meant that they had all had contact with Yang Shuimo and them before.
The rest of the scented ants kept flying deeper into the tomb.
Yang Wufeng and the disciples of the Diancang Sect hurriedly followed, and as for those Jianghu warriors in the underground palace, after confirming that they had nothing to do with Yang Shuimo's death, they could only let them go.
After all, the Diancang faction is a righteous faction in the martial arts of southern Xinjiang, and it is still necessary to be reasonable in doing things.
There were also many people in the tomb who watched the excitement, such as Wei Meng of the Songyuan Sword Sect, and the disciples of the sect who followed him.
With the help of the smelling ants, soon the remaining warriors in the underground palace that day were found out one by one.
Yang Wufeng had a cold face, and asked the disciples behind him to control them all, and then took out half of Yang Shuimo's life cards from his arms and took them one by one.
Most of the life cards in the rivers and lakes are from Tianji Pavilion, and they use the characteristics "cause and effect" in the [Hexagram Sequence] to create life and death cards that can know life and death from thousands of miles.
The life card can not only be used to distinguish the life and death of the card owner, which contains the [hexagram sequence] characteristic "cause and effect", but also can reflect the person who has life and death cause and effect with the deceased.
It's a pity that after the life cards are passed one by one, no one can make the life cards light up.
Yang Wufeng looked disappointed and summoned his disciples to bring them over for questioning.
At this time, there were only a dozen or so scented ants left in the air, and seven or eight of them had been circling in place, lingering.
"Brother Zhou, what is the reason for this?"
Yang Wufeng asked.
Zhou Jie didn't speak, but just took out a white jade porcelain bottle, and after opening it, a few wisps of fragrance were released.
After smelling the strange fragrance, the smelling ants staggered as if drunk, but they all flew in the same direction.
Everyone hurriedly looked in that direction, only to see the few smelling ants flying to the corner of the crowd and floating in front of more than a dozen warriors.
It was the young patriarch Mulan Yuan and his party sent by the Scorpion tribe to the tomb.
Mulan Yuan frowned and looked at the Gu worms in front of him.
"The few remaining Jianghu warriors in the dungeon should have been killed by these few."
Zhou Jie looked at the barbarian dress worn by Mulan Yuan and his party, and his face was unhappy.
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the people present who looked like Mulan Yuan began to become unkind.
The barbarians also dare to attack the Han Chinese?
Although the faces of the scorpion tribe were a little unpleasant, they were not very panicked.
They didn't kill the disciples of the Great Gate Sect, and as for the rest of the Jianghu martial artists, Mulan Yuan and the others really didn't pay attention to them.
Seeing this, Yang Wufeng felt lost.
He also thought that he could find the murderer this time.
Damn it!
Who the hell is it!
Don't let me find you, otherwise I, Yang Wufeng, will definitely want you to live, die!
At this moment, Wei Meng, the senior brother of the Songyuan Sword Sect, walked up to Zhou Jie's side and said in front of the Scorpion Clan and others:
"Brother Zhou, my Songyuan Sword Sect has also had a few disciples who have gone out alone to practice these days, I don't know if you can help me with this favor of the Songyuan Sword Sect, I will be grateful afterwards!"
As soon as Wei Meng's words came out, Mulan Yuan's face stiffened, and a cold sweat suddenly flowed.
Over the past few days, they have singled out the lone Han warriors, and there have been sixty or seventy more unjust souls in their hands.
In Mulan Yuan's opinion, ordinary people with big sects will not go out alone.
Picking only the target of the single one is not only safe, but also not easy to make mistakes.
But he knew that those disciples of the Songyuan Sword Sect were secretly sent by Wei Meng to monitor the Diancang Sect, and they didn't wear the clothes of the Songyuan Sword Sect.
As a result, none of them came back.
Zhou Jie's chin said: "No problem, Brother Wei will just hand over their personal belongings to me." ”
Wei Meng turned around and called the disciple to pick up the missing disciple's personal belongings.
When the interruption continues, it is chaotic.
Before Zhou Jie's action was made, Mulan Yuan shouted in barbarian language:
"Flee separately, let's all flee back to the clan first!"
Before the words fell, Mulan Tu was the first to flee, and the barbarians of the scorpion tribe behind him also followed, running out of a distance and then scattering.
Before leaving, he also threw a handful of Gu worms into the crowd, then laughed sneeringly, took out the fire fold, opened it, threw it on the ground, and then ran away without looking back.
The Gu worm was swollen and shaped like a moth, but its abdomen was extremely large, and it exploded with a bang when it stirred its wings twice in midair.
The white powder suddenly spread throughout the sealed tomb, shiny as if it were snow.
Most people's first reaction was that it was poisonous, so they hurriedly covered their mouths and noses and squatted down to avoid the slowly falling powder, and then retreated.
Only Zhou Jie seemed to have thought of something, his face changed greatly, and he said sharply: "It's a white phosphorus moth!" ”
Then he retreated more than ten steps, even if he was stained with those white powders.
Although the powder ejected by the white phosphorus moth fell slowly, it spread very quickly in all directions, filling the entire tomb in an instant.
The fire fold that was thrown on the ground by Mulan Yuan ignited sparks, and came into contact with white phosphorus in the air.
Boom –
I saw the fire rushing to the sky, and suddenly a blazing wave gushed out, accompanied by an earth-shattering loud noise, and the billowing smoke rose into the air like an overwhelming sandstorm.
In the darkness, accompanied by scarlet flames, blooming enchantingly, like enchanting and gorgeous flowers on the other side, competing for beauty.
Violent explosions were heard incessantly, and swaths of the ground collapsed one after another, and the shattered stones overhead fell like meteor showers, mercilessly smashing into the fleeing crowd.
"Damn!!"
Yang Wufeng was hit by the falling boulder, and he could only cover his right arm to constantly avoid the falling gravel of the scorpion.
Wei Meng's face turned dark, but he didn't expect to find trouble, but he was put on a position by the barbarians.
He snorted coldly, rushed straight out of the explosion range, and chased straight in the direction that Mulan Yuan fled from!
After that, the smoke cleared.
At this time, most of the people who were still standing at the scene were gray-faced, some were covered with burns and screamed, and some were bruised and wailing in pain.
Many more were buried under the rubble, dying.
At the place where the explosion occurred, there was a deep crater at this time, and it was dark and bottomless.
Zhou Jie stood at the edge of the deep pit, looking at the bare coffin in the stone chamber below, his eyes flashing with a strange light.
He quietly released a mosquito-like Gu worm and quickly flew out of the tomb.
"Brother Yang, there is another layer of tombs underneath."
Yang Wufeng sorted out the people of the Cang Sect, and asked the remaining disciples to move the wounded out for treatment with a dark face, and then turned around when he heard Zhou Jie's words.
"The last few scented ants marked the targets under this tomb."
When Yang Wufeng heard this, he said with a cold face:
"Brother Zhou, let's go down and have a look."
As for the rest of the Jianghu warriors, Yang Wufeng didn't bother to care, he was completely messed up by that group of barbarians.
They ordered the Cang faction to be dead and wounded now, and it was unrealistic to want to seal the exit again.
He could only hope that the murderer of Yang Shuimo could be found among the few remaining people.
The two of them then jumped down the pit together and disappeared into the darkness.
……
"This is the last stone chamber?"
Chen Yuyan and the others stood in the center of the stone gate, and the stone chamber in front of them was the largest stone chamber in the two-story tomb.
The rest of the stone chambers were all rummaged through by them, and everything they could get their hands on was taken, and the others had no choice but to stay where they were.
Slowly pushing open the stone door and blowing away the falling dust, what greeted me was not a mahogany coffin similar to the previous stone chamber.
It's a futon.
There is also a small mirror on the futon.
Chen Yuyan knew that the futon was the secret medicine [Mochizuki], which also contained the martial arts brand of the "Moon King", the general of the Nanyue Dynasty a long time ago.
No one knows the true name of the Moon King, and people only remember his name today.
At that time, the Moon King was in the Nanyue Dynasty, and it was not just a matter of being a master of merit.
Whether it is the dawn people in the Nanyue Dynasty or the rulers of other dynasties, they only know the Moon King, not Nanyue.
The Moon King was already the de facto ruler of the Nanyue Dynasty, and even if he wanted to, he could change the name of the Nanyue Dynasty to the Yue Dynasty the next day.
It's just that in the end, the king of the moon disappeared inexplicably, and the long-suppressed Nanyue emperor was unwilling to be a puppet emperor and wanted to regain control of the country, which finally led to civil strife and the collapse of the Nanyue Dynasty.
This futon is not a legacy left by the Moon King, but it was only scavenged from his home by the Emperor of Nanyue and placed in his own tomb, which means that after his death, the Moon King will also have to guard the door for himself.
Anyway, Chen Yuyan only felt that the last emperor of South Vietnam, Zhi Da was talented, and in the end, he didn't do anything and played his own country.
Before he died, he had to put on a futon to obscenate himself and defeat the Moon King, and only his mouth was hard all over his body.
In the plot, Fang Ziming got this futon and soared from then on, from an abandoned son of the family to the king of guns in the north.
However, Chen Yuyan is not interested in this futon, and it is no problem to practice martial arts from scratch when he gets martial arts, but if it is a martial arts brand.
Family, this is not to be said.
When the self-sequence reaches a certain level, you can leave your own martial arts brand, and the martial arts brand is indestructible, and your own spirit is immortal.
Chen Yuyan was only afraid that he would accept the inheritance of the martial arts brand, and if he practiced this martial arts, he would not be himself.
For Fang Ziming, Chen Yuyan can only give him a wake-up call after going out, and he will be benevolent and righteous.
As for whether the future Northland Spear King is Fang Ziming or the Moon King, it doesn't matter to Chen Yuyan.
Chen Yuyan just can't figure it out now.
Where is the rest of the mask?
