Chapter 20: A Succession of Murders (Happy Valentine's Day)

The days of cultivating immortals are always quite pleasant.

On weekdays, talismans are made, alchemy, and in-depth exchanges with wives and concubines are embellished.

Spring goes to winter, and before you know it, the New Year is not far away.

The water spirit root could have broken through a long time ago, but he had been holding back, planning to wait until the golden spirit root broke through the middle grade spirit root to form a balance.

He was worried that the Water Spirit Root would be upgraded to the top grade, but as a result, the quality of the Water Spirit Root and the Golden Spirit Root would be too different, and it would pollute the Spirit Root.

Suddenly hearing the sound of hurried footsteps outside, Zhao Qingshan frowned.

His courtyard has always been only accessible to his wives and concubines.

The wife and concubine have always been knowledgeable, and they have never been so flustered.

Qiu Yue's face was slightly pale with some panic on her face.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Qingshan asked subconsciously.

Qiu Yue said: "There is a monk's corpse in the White Horse River, drenched in blood, and his body has been stripped naked, nine times out of ten it was done by evil cultivators!" ”

Zhao Qingshan frowned when he heard this.

The White Horse River is the only main inland river in Changping City, which runs through the north and south of Changping City, and is about forty or fifty meters long. Many residents eat water from the Whitehorse River or wash their clothes in the Whitehorse River. The Hakuba River can also be navigated, and many boats transport supplies through the Hakuba River every day.

And the reason why it is named the White Horse River, because a long time ago, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom sealed a prince to Changping City, the prince's alias is the White Horse Saburo, when he stood on the White Horse Bridge and watched the White Horse River to the river, the waves were turbulent, like ten thousand horses galloping, it happened that there was a long three zhang Jiaolong to make waves, scourge the people, the White Horse Saburo shot the Jiaolong with an arrow, but unfortunately was rolled up by the dragon's tail. Hakuma Saburo fought with Jiaolong and died together. In order to commemorate Hakuma Saburo, the descendants established the Hakuba King Temple and named the river the Hakuma River.

As such, there are no corpses in the White Horse River all year round.

Evil cultivators who kill people and seize treasures will not throw corpses in the White Horse River.

Because this will cause the public indignation of the monks of the entire Changping City.

"You stay in the yard these days and don't go out, I'll go out and have a look!" Zhao Qingshan called his wife and concubine and told him.

His three beautiful wives and concubines are not high in cultivation, they are all in the early stage of Qi training, and they have no experience in fighting, they are purely rookies, if they encounter that evil cultivator, it will be dangerous.

Even if Zhao Qingshan gave them talismans, spirit explosion talismans and other talismans, he was enough to give them away.

After giving some instructions, Zhao Qingshan left the courtyard and headed for the hall.

Zhao Mansion has a total of four separate courtyards, Zhao Qingshan lives in one yard by himself, his parents, grandparents each live in a courtyard, and one courtyard is temporarily preserved, which is cleaned by his subordinates every once in a while.

As for the next person, there is a separate accommodation area.

When Zhao Qingshan came to the hall, his father and the old man were in the hall.

"Qingshan, how rare is it to leave your yard, not to accompany your wife and concubine!" Zhao Leiting couldn't help but joke when he saw Zhao Qingshan.

Zhao Qingshan has always stayed in his own courtyard, living a happy and beautiful life with his wife and concubine.

It was only a little over a year after he came back, and Zhao Qingshan had a wife and a concubine, and it was not one concubine but two.

This made Zhao Leiting very satisfied, since there is no hope of building a foundation in this life, he should marry a wife and have children, and have more children, it is best to have ten or eight.

The only thing that made him a little dissatisfied was that none of his wives and concubines were pregnant so far.

Zhao Qingshan touched his head embarrassedly, his father is so bad, he said that he couldn't tell if he saw through it, but he told it to your face.

"Old man, my father, I heard that there are evil cultivators who killed people and threw their bodies in the White Horse River, right?" Zhao Qingshan said.

Zhao Lie nodded and said: "Well, when this matter was discovered in the morning, there was a lot of uproar, and the city was full of wind and rain, and many colleagues came, let us take the lead in investigating the truth and chasing the murderer." ”

"The city lord also came to visit and asked us for help." Zhao Leiting said.

The government can only manage ordinary people, and it is powerless against the masters of the rivers and lakes, let alone the monks.

The government is always very cautious about the monks, for fear of provoking the monks, so that they don't know how to die one day.

Of course, the government will also deliberately befriend the local monks, especially the immortal cultivation sects and families.

Now that the nun has been killed, the murderer must be the monk, and this kind of thing can only be done by asking the local monks.

And now, the Zhao family is the premier immortal cultivation family in Changping City.

"Old man, father, do you have any clues?" Zhao Qingshan asked.

"Now I am in contact, I am investigating, and there are no clues yet." Zhao Lei Ting said: "But no matter who it is, it's too much to do such a fact, if we don't keep quiet, people will only think that our Changping City Immortal Cultivation Realm is easy to bully." ”

Killing the nun was not counted, she even stripped her clothes, and the most hateful thing was to throw the body into the White Horse River.

This is provoking the immortal cultivation realm of Changping City.

Zhao Qingshan nodded when he heard this, if the murderer was a foundation building period monk, then there was nothing they could do. However, if it is only a Qi cultivation period cultivator, then it must be calculated carefully.

Yet the next day.

The body of the monk reappeared in the White Horse River, the same nun who had been stripped naked.

Provocation!

Naked provocation!

"Damn! That bastard is so arrogant! Zhao Leiting was furious, and he felt that he had been slapped in the face.

The old man was also furious: "How can this be reasonable! Outrageous! If this revenge is not avenged, it is not a gentleman, and in the future, my Changping City Immortal Cultivation Realm will inevitably be laughed at by others and become a laughing stock! ”

Zhao Qingshan was also a little angry!

The originally peaceful immortal cultivation realm in Changping City has become turbulent because of this evil cultivator, and everyone is in danger, especially those female monks.

Suddenly, relying on his personal prestige, Zhao Lie gathered a group of monks, and more than a hundred monks gathered in Zhao's mansion, and then began to look for other foreign monks.

There are relatively few people who can cultivate immortals, and there are even fewer foreign monks.

There had never been such evil deeds before, but now they have appeared for two consecutive days, which means that it must have been done by foreign monks.

After searching, there were more than twenty foreign monks in total, Zhao Qingshan looked at it, and they all felt that there were no evil cultivators.

So he muttered in Zhao Leiting's ear, and Zhao Leiting held a banquet in Zhao's mansion to entertain the monks.

At night, it's as dark as ink

Zhao Qingshan took out the eight spirit runes, activated the spirit runes, and the spirit runes turned into thousands of paper cranes and flew in all directions.

This kind of talisman is called a 'probe talisman', and its function is to detect news, just like a drone.

The difference is that it has no sound when it flies, and can only detect the breath below the monk of the foundation building period.

Zhao Qingshan closed his eyes slightly and sat on the roof.

Eight thousand paper cranes flew by, constantly sending messages back.

Zhao Qingshan was speechless for a while, several scene action movies, whether he agreed with him or not, forced him to watch them, and did not give him the right to choose at all.

Of course, there are also husbands and wives who quarrel, there are people who drink flower wine, and so on.

Zhao Qingshan calmed down, if the evil cultivator was not in the Zhao Mansion, then there was a chance that he would come out and continue to commit crimes.

During the day, they searched for foreign monks with great fanfare, but if a monk wanted to hide deliberately, he could easily avoid it.

It was for this reason that he asked his father to leave a group of monks, so that the number of monks in the city was greatly reduced, and it was much easier for him to investigate.

For example, now, he is more focused on probing the monk, after all, if the monk has any action, there will always be breath fluctuations, and breath fluctuations are easy to be caught by a thousand paper cranes.
