I opened one of the doors, and before I could enter, I saw blood on the walls, and two half-decomposed corpses lying on the ground, their mouths wide open and their eyes wide, as if they had seen something terrible before they died.

Although the mask blocked most of the smell, the smell of rotting corpses continued to penetrate my nose, so I had to walk in with a frown.

"I'll go, it stinks to death, it's not that my brother is unkind, it's that my brother can't stand the smell, you can go in by yourself, vomit..."

The fat man retched twice, and the fat on his body was shaking as he ran.

I didn't say anything, I walked to the wall, and when I looked closely, I suddenly made an amazing discovery.

The walls were covered in dirt from the splatters of blood, but there were still a few traces preserved on them.

I touched it with my hand, and the marks were very regular, with no gaps at the edges, as if they had been cut by a long sword.

I shouted at the fat man outside, and after repeated urging, he reluctantly covered his nose and walked in.

"Look, it doesn't look like a sword slashing mark."

I pointed to the cracks in the wall.

The fat man took a closer look and nodded and didn t say anything which made me fall into a stalemate when i saw yun zhen dao man and didn t notice that he was carrying a long sword and.

Generally speaking, people who are good at making swords will have a thick layer of calluses at the tiger's mouth, that is because they often hold the hilt of the sword, and in the case of swinging the sword, the force makes the tiger's mouth suffer the greatest impact, and over time it forms an indelible callus.

But that night, I sat face to face with Yun Zhendao, and I didn't notice that he had calluses on his hands, and even if he did, it was at the root of his fingers, unless he used his sword differently than everyone else.

I turned my gaze to the corpses on the ground, and since there were sword marks on the wall, it was very likely that they had been killed by the sword.

Thinking of this, I hurried over to one of the corpses, crouched down and flipped his collar.

This look, as I thought, there was a wound on the neck of the corpse that was ten centimeters long, and the depth was about five centimeters, which surprised me a little, just looking at the neck hurts, not to mention that it is inhumane to act on them.

I went down the collar to inspect the corpse again, and the fat man looked at me with disgust, poked his head out and said, "Chang'an, what are you looking at?" ”

I shook my head and motioned for him to stop, and I found a crumpled piece of paper in the corpse's pocket, dark yellow.

My heart sank, and when I opened the paper ball, I was taken aback, this was actually a talisman, a talisman that was spurned in the circle.

The rebirth talisman is rarely seen on the market, just because this talisman belongs to the unclean category, as long as it is unfolded, the rebirth talisman can imprison the soul, that is, the soul of the person who has just died, and retain the purest soul power, just like Chinese herbal medicine, which is very helpful to some people who practice evil arts.

As far as I know, pure soul power can often achieve the effect of borrowing life with souls, and when I was a child, the master told me when he was idle.

There was once a loose monk in the coincidence, got a book of evil magic prophecy spell, when he was being chased by the enemy, life hanging by a thread, after getting the evil magic prophecy spell, he learned the lotus lamp life continuation method, slaughtered hundreds of people, and successfully achieved the miracle of a hundred years of life extension with pure souls.

Later, some other evil magicians were curious about the magic of the life continuation method, so they organized people to find this evil prophecy spell, but what they didn't expect was that the evil prophecy spell disappeared mysteriously, and the person who successfully continued his life was like evaporating from the world, and there was no trace at all.

And it is said that the death spell was born for the purpose of continuing life, and at that time, there was a lot of uproar all over the country, and some institutions and sects in the circle had to be suppressed personally, and the death charm slowly disappeared into the world.

To get back to the point, I have heard a little about the origin of the death talisman, and I already have a bold conjecture in my heart, but the evidence of this conjecture is insufficient, and I don't dare to directly believe that it is the Yunzhen Dao people who want to continue their lives, so they still need to find some more handles.

I went to several other crime scenes, and I also found discarded talismans on the corpses, which shows that the caster imprisons the soul power in the charm, and after refining a purer soul, he takes it away to achieve his own goals.

"This matter is not simple, I need to check some ancient books, let's go back first, and ask Tan Ping."

After returning to Nan'an City, I refined the thoughts in my heart with the fat man, and after he listened, he didn't ask anything else, so he asked about the origin of this Tan Ping.

In fact, Tan Ping still met me when I was working with my master when I was commissioning with him, and his degree is very high, because of an adventure trip to the plateau, he stepped into our circle, studied all kinds of ancient books, and can be regarded as a wide range of knowledge.

Tan Ping's address is located in a private house in Xinsheng Garden, about ten kilometers away from my house, I knocked on the door, and waited for the people inside to agree before walking in.

At this time, Tan Ping was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a super-powerful table lamp next to him, as if he was studying something.

When I walked in, Tan Ping raised his head and helped his glasses, when he saw me, he was stunned at first and then frowned suddenly, and the meaning between his eyebrows seemed to be related to me.

"You kid, why do you have time to sit with me?"

Tan Ping quickly smiled, and I looked at him strangely and said, "Senior, what are you studying?" ”

"Oh, nothing." Tan Ping greeted me to the sofa with a smile, "You kid came here today." ”

"Oh? How to say this. I looked at Tan Ping with a smile, and from his face, I caught a trace of something wrong, as if he had something to hide from me and not tell me, his face was a little ugly.

Tan Ping handed over two cups of tea, put his glasses aside and said: "You also know, I usually only give people two opportunities to come to the door to get information, someone has already come before, you are the second, say, what is the matter with me?" ”

I nodded, not going into any other veins of it.

"Senior, have you heard of the past life talisman?"

I placed a crumpled talisman on the table and pushed it in front of Tan Ping.

His face turned ugly for a moment, he frowned, put his glasses back on, and took the talisman in his hand to observe it carefully.

After a while, Tan Ping slowly put the talisman on the table, and whispered: "Could it be that the book has really seen the light of day, impossible, the evil prophecy spell has disappeared for a hundred years, how can it still exist, boy, where did you get this talisman!" ”

Tan Ping looked at me excitedly, I was confused for a while, and when I told him about the tragedy in Pingtou Mountain Village, I couldn't sit still for a while.

He pulled out several books from the bookshelf in a panic, sat on the desk, and looked at them one by one, the fat man still wanted to speak, but I stopped him and said, "Don't talk." ”

The fat man was deflated, drank tea by himself, and glanced at Tan Ping from time to time.

Ten minutes later, Tan Ping still didn't speak, the fat man's patience was worn out, and he once suspected that Tan Ping was pretending, he put down the teacup and said impatiently: "Senior, do you have a toilet here?" ”

"Go over there by yourself, the fat man has a lot of and pee."

I pointed to the bathroom next to me, I was a little unkind to see this fat man, if I wasn't afraid that he would pester me and talk nonsense, I would have kicked him back to his mother's womb.

The atmosphere was extremely depressing, none of the three of us spoke, the only voice was the ancient book in Tan Ping's hand, during this period, I quieted myself, enough for me to clear my mind.

After another ten minutes, Tan Ping suddenly shouted, "I know!" ”

I was once in deep thought, but suddenly opened my eyes and looked at Tan Ping, he hurriedly walked over with a book and said, "I found it, Nuo, this is the record of the death talisman, but the year is too long, and that's all." ”

I carefully took the ancient books, for fear of accidentally tearing up a corner, you must know that the ancient books are fate for scholars like Tan Ping, and I can't afford to pay for them.

There is indeed a record of the death charm in the ancient books, but it is only a short sentence.

"Death, imprisoned in the soul, happy in the way, ordered by the way of heaven, saving the world and sorrowful, the lotus lamp is not in the usual way, the magic circle is changed and secretly born, the messenger, a hundred years of immortality."
