The middle-aged man named Kou Qing is a steward of the outer hall of the Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce, not without cultivation, but three years ago, because of an accident, which led to the loss of cultivation, he retired from the merchant ship and became a steward of the outer hall.

"In the past three months, the major chambers of commerce that trade with the Donglin Shangguo have been born one after another, and the East China Sea has blocked the sea route of the East China Sea, which has been in a state of experimentation during this time, but the progress is slow, under pressure, the Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce also sent a merchant ship half a month ago, but when the merchant ship came back, it ......"

Kou Qing's voice was not loud when he said this, especially after he said it, he watched left and right, his face was solemn, and seeing that no one around was paying attention, he whispered to Yang Kai: "When the merchant ship came back, there were thirty-two people on board, all of them were dead. ”

"All dead?" Li Shuangyan was taken aback, and asked suspiciously, "How did the merchant ship come back?" ”

Kou Qing clapped his hands and said, "By the way, I don't know what the three of you call yet?" ”

It can be seen that Kou Qing is a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing, and he does not regard the Han Pig as a demon, which makes the Han Pig very useful, but he is also a little impatient and said: "This is Yang Kai and his protector Li Shuangyan, the Holy Maiden of the Shaking Light Holy Sect, there is no need to say more about the deity, you can tell me quickly, how did the merchant ship come back?" ”

Hearing that Han Zhu actually spoke out of his mouth, Kou Qing was taken aback, but he remained silent, smiled bitterly, and said, "The merchant ship came back by itself." ”

"Came back on your own?" Yang moved happily.

This is a bit interesting, all thirty-two lives died on the merchant ship, and from Kou Qing's expression, the cause of death of these people is not simple, and they are not missing, all of them are on the merchant ship.

Sure enough, Kou Qing nodded, sighed, and said: "Thirty-two lives, just died quietly on the merchant ship, we can't even find out what the cause of death is, it's as if it's asleep, and the body hasn't changed at all, as if it's not dead at all, and the merchant ship ...... The merchant ship didn't see anything wrong either. ”

Can't see any cause of death?

How is it possible not to determine any cause of death?

No matter how he died, there were signs of death, even if he didn't have a cultivation in his body, or he didn't know what means the murderer used, ordinary mortals were enough to judge the cause of a person's death in terms of death profile.

Mortals who have been dealing with cultivators for many years have developed a very complete system, and it stands to reason that they cannot be helpless.

If the sea route of the East China Sea is too far to fly over, it can only be passed by merchant ships.

With the sea route blocked, even Yang Kai couldn't go to the Donglin Upper Kingdom.

Yang Kai pondered for a moment before saying, "Take me to see those dead ......"

Kou Qing led the way in front with a smile, and said without a trace: "I don't know what Yang Gongzi is going to Donglin Shangguo about, now that it is an eventful season, I can't wait for a long time in the East China Sea, so I can arrange a place for the three of us." ”

The implication is obvious, it is to let Yang Kai do what he can.

Although Kou Qing looked at Li Shuangyan, who had the name of the Shaking Light Saintess, intentionally or unintentionally, after all, he had a cultivation in his body, and it was not difficult to see that Yang Kai's realm was not high.

The cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage is not uncommon in the Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce, in fact, Kou Qing himself used to be a Yuan Infant Stage monk.

Han Zhu looked at Yang Kai with a mocking expression, as if he really wanted to see Yang Kai deflated.

Yang Kai didn't take it to heart, people with long sleeves and good dancing seemed to have this problem, if there was anything to say, they had to be reminded by turning around and reminding them.

Seeing the teasing look on Han Zhu's face, Yang Kai was also interested, and said to Kou Qing: "Or, think about it again, have you ever heard the name Yang Kai at some point?" ”

"Yang Kai......" Kou Qing showed a puzzled look, and could see that he was meditating, and after a while, his eyes suddenly widened, and the whole person stood on the spot, exclaiming: "Yang Kai?!" ”

Yang Kai startled his voice, and there were many people around him looking at him.

Kou Qing's expression was shocked, and he reacted suddenly, and hurriedly pulled Yang Kai inside.

"My God, my God, that's right, your name is Yang Kai, you ...... Could it be the Yang Kai who broke the shackles of heaven and earth in the East China Sea? Kou Qing's face flashed with an incredible look, and his eyes were full of surprise and shock.

"If it's unexpected, I'm that Yang Kai!" Yang Kai nodded, squeezed his eyes at Han Zhu, and said, "And before coming to the East China Sea, I also broke the shackles of heaven and earth in the Central Continent. ”

Kou Qing was directly speechless with excitement: "No wonder, no wonder you have the token of the Huanggu clan in your hand, I thought that the ancient clan of the human emperor has been hidden for so many years, and there are people with different surnames, it is my clumsiness, it is my clumsiness, now it's okay, with you, maybe you can find out the weirdness of the East China Sea as soon as possible." ”

Under the leadership of Kou Qing, Yang Kai and the others came to a small courtyard that had been sealed off.

Kou Qing pushed open the courtyard door and said: "This place has been completely blocked, even mosquitoes don't want to fly out, the owner once suspected that these crew members are not actually dead, but I don't know what affected them have caused them to be unconscious and in a state of suspended animation, otherwise the corpse may have already begun to deteriorate." ”

There was no dead air in the air, Yang Kai could feel it, even if it was handled by someone, it was impossible to be so clean.

When entering the door, Li Shuangyan hesitated for a moment and said to Yang Kai, "Be careful. ”

Yang Kai nodded and said, "It's okay, I didn't feel any dangerous aura. ”

Kou Qing also took a deep breath and said, "It's better to be careful, this kind of strange situation has never been seen before, it is said that most of the people on the merchant ships of those chambers of commerce are in a similar situation, but they have already buried people." ”

The courtyard was so quiet that there was not even the chirping of insects.

Although there was no dead air, the air was still solemn, and there was a cold breath.

"The inside of the room is carved with an ice formation, and although the corpses do not decompose, they cannot be left alone." Kou Qing explained.

It makes sense.

After Kou Qing pushed open the door, a cold breath suddenly hit his face.

Yang Kai stepped into it and couldn't help frowning when he saw a row of corpses lying on the ground.

"These people really aren't dead."

"What?" Kou Qing was taken aback and asked in astonishment, "Really not dead?" But ......"

Yang Kai didn't explain any more, but came to the nearest person and squatted down.

This person is middle-aged, it can be seen that he has cultivation in his body, and he still has the breath of Zhenyuan in his body, but it is very weak, I don't know if it is because he is in a state of suspended animation, or because of the murderer.

There is no snort, no heartbeat, and even the blood veins in the body are stagnant, and the whole person is in a static state.

That's right, it's a state of stillness, as if time and space are frozen in this person.
