Volume 3 The Man in the Bureau Has No Regrets Chapter 143 Hammer Him to Death
?? Put aside Zhang Jiu'an, who made a sneak attack without warning, a Taoist priest had already run to tell the master, and the third watch of the night ignored it, and went to see the Taoist priest Li Ji of the Plum Blossom Temple, who had lost his life.
I also privately asked Yue Qingfeng for some tips on judging the time of death from the corpse, and when he lifted the white cloth, he was still the same as the previous two, his face was slightly hideous after the fright, his eyeballs showed slight cloudiness, and there were also slight corpse spots on the exposed skin, which could not dissipate after pressing, and the wound on his neck was clumped with blood, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.
Shi Dangdang, who rushed over as if he was joining in the fun, pretended to grope for a while, and pinched Li Ji, a fellow practitioner, from top to bottom.
It stands to reason that the dead are the most important in teaching, and Ye San really can't figure out what this person wants to do. Obviously, it was only deduced that the time of the deceased's death was almost last night, and as for the other clues, Ye San also knew that he couldn't see it.
Instead, Shi Dangdang asked where the Taoist priest next to him first found the body, and went over to inspect it in the direction he pointed to.
This young Taoist priest who is a little clever and cautious, Ye San will definitely not have too much hope for him, in Ye San's opinion, he behaves like this, I don't know if he has any careful thoughts.
Shi Dangdang, who trotted over, found that Ye Sangen did not follow, and turned back to wave at him, as if the main family was leading the guests to visit, which made the latter speechless.
The place where the body was found was three zhang away, Ye San remembered more clearly that this was the big tree he leaned on that night, with this as the center of the circle, the distance of ten zhang within the semicircle was razed to the ground It seems a bit exaggerated to say, but some towering ancient trees are broken together, and it is definitely devastating.
The scene in front of me is shocking to see is believing. Shi Dangdang walked around the tree, staring at his eyes and carefully probing, it really looked like an official from the government investigating a case.
Ye Sangen didn't bother to go over to mingle with the young Taoist priest, and asked about the situation of the Taoist priest next to him who found the corpse.
Because of the earth-shattering destruction of this place that day and night, Zhang Jiu'e and his people who went to find Zhang Jiuding returned, although they didn't know the ins and outs of the matter at that time, Zhang Jiu'e still had to arrange for some disciples to come and clean up, and it was this Zhang Jiuping Taoist who was in charge.
After finishing his daily morning recitation homework early this morning, as usual, Zhang Jiuping chose a Taoist priest to come, and saw this Li Ji Taoist of the Plum Blossom View sitting under the tree, still dying in the same way as the first two deceased, and the blood flowing from the shallow wound on his neck as thin as paper had dried up.
There are no useful clues at all, just like the first two murders, the murderer's means of killing people are indeed a medium and high master.
Shi Dangdang is beckoning frantically,
"Three sons and three sons, come here, there is a discovery in the poor road." He didn't have a trace of patience with this young Taoist priest of the Taishan faction, and he ignored it at night, and was about to go back, when he heard Shi Dangdang's urging again,
"You'll regret it, though, maybe that's the key to catching the murderer." Such a sworn expression made Ye Sangen a little curious, curious about what this young Taoist priest who couldn't see through and follow the edge could find out what this young Taoist priest could find, just like talking.
I saw Shi Dangdang pouting his buttocks, holding the tree with both hands, his face almost sticking to the bark, and he didn't have to get up and turn his head, and he could hear Ye Sangen coming, he said: "Look, there is a strangulation mark here that is similar to Li Jidao's wound." "I have to say that Shi dared to be an eyesight, and the traces similar to the wounds of the deceased appeared on the trees, mixed with this kind of pitted bark, if it were not for his amazing eyesight, it was indeed difficult to find.
There is one on the left and one on the right side of the tree, and the direction is almost the same, if the corpse has not moved, such a trace, the answer is about to come out.
Shi Dangdang gave way to the third watch of the night, and guessed: "Strangled." Slightly different from this young Taoist priest, Ye San joked: "At least for now, I can be sure that he will not be killed by a fox." Causing the other party to chuckle,
"It can also be determined that it was not killed by sword qi." For his teasing, Ye San rolled his eyes, and the change in his opinion just now was gone.
This man will not be able to give him a good face. After approaching the bark, there was a faint smell that definitely did not belong to this poplar tree that had lived more than how many years it should have, and Ye San frowned, and approached again, his nose was almost pasted, this smell that made him somewhat familiar but he couldn't remember it vaguely.
"Have you ever smelled this?" Ye Sangen asked. Shi Dangdang put it on and sniffed vigorously, and muttered: "Isn't this the smell of incense and candles burned by our Taoist temple?" Ye San frowned, trying to capture that hint of inspiration, but he couldn't grasp the essentials, frowning and falling into deep thought.
The news of another death case here spread in the mountains, and some Taoist people from various sects and sects came one after another, and began to overspend the deceased on their own, and the vague scriptures babbled and babbled, which made Ye San even more upset.
Gently pulled off a piece of bark and put it in his arms, and the third night called a mountain, and he was about to return, Zhang Jiuping woke up leisurely.
Regarding this Wudang elder who attacked violently, it was obvious that his words and deeds before he fell into a coma just now showed that he was being controlled, and when those Daoists came one after another, Ye San suddenly saw a female crown Taoist aunt in an apricot yellow Taoist robe in the crowd.
Although the colors of the robes in the Daomen are varied, such as the Wudang Dragon and Tiger, they are all in the same vein, according to the four colors of red, purple, blue and gray from high to low, the inner door disciples are distinguished from the inner door according to the most common navy blue.
There are not many disciples who are declining or have been established for a short time, or because the essence of the sect is obscure, and there are not so many rules and regulations based on dress code.
For example, thousands of years ago, the five buckets of rice that were enshrined as the state religion by the previous dynasty were now so thin that there are only a handful, such as the Xiangxi faction and the Xiangxiang faction, which not only had a short time to establish the church, but also because of the habits of its sects, which were unacceptable, and the number of people in the sect was less than 20 in the heyday.
This group of people is either dressed in the same costume as ordinary people, perhaps because they don't want to attract attention because of their low self-esteem, or they wear a dazzling color in the crowd to attract attention, nothing more than to let more people know about their existence.
For example, the Xiangxi faction. This Taoist sect that lives deep in the mountains of 100,000 people, has a deep study of the talisman, it is said that the real people of the founding sect can lead the thunder of the sky with a snap of their fingers, and they can complete a nine-grade talisman in the blink of an eye, and the edict of ghosts and gods is not a problem to spread the clouds and rain.
It's just that in the years to come, the specific head of the Xiangxi faction is no longer verifiable, and he actually started the unseemly business of exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits, using talismans to do business and earn money from the world.
After the gradual development, a hundred years ago coincided with the troubled times, the head of this faction at that time found by chance that carrying the corpse in the battlefield could get the imperial court subsidy, and then without saying a word, led his disciples to go back and forth to the battlefield where danger and opportunity coexisted, and sent the corpses of those soldiers who died in battle back to their hometown for burial.
Over time, at the right time, the head of the house also had a lot of experience in the talisman, and by mistake, he drew a Dan talisman that could make the dead move, and in this way, the corpse that was criticized by the world came into being.
Although they flaunt the idea that the common people can accept the fallen leaves and return to their roots, but this behavior not only makes the world despised, but even ordinary people are a little afraid of what this faction does.
However, the Xiangxi faction, which is not ashamed but proud, has been passed down from generation to generation, but it has begun to boast of the orthodoxy of the Taoist sect, just because of its unique attainments in the middle and bottom of the sect.
Although other sects do not like it, they do not deviate from their sects, and the methods used by the Xiangxi sect are generally the same as those taught by Taoism, and they can only silently accept their Taoist identity.
And what the Xiangxi faction wears is an extremely alternative apricot yellow. He was also quite self-aware and did not dare to wear the yellow that had been expressly forbidden by all dynasties, so he began to make a clever name, and added the red that could only be worn by the head of the big faction given by the imperial court to the yellow, and evolved into apricot yellow, so as to show his maverick.
Throwing away the wonderful Taoist master who thinks about serving at night, most of the people in this group are wearing light-colored Taoist robes such as blue and gray, and the only two factions wearing white are not in it at this time, and the most eye-catching is the Taoist aunt of the Xiangxi faction who is dressed in apricot yellow.
In view of the mysterious method of chasing corpses of this sect, Ye San was even more suspicious that he could kill the Taoist priests of the three sects by such means, whether it was to use their anti-heaven talisman to control people's minds and kill people again.
The dead can control it, let alone the living?
"Shi Dao Chief, I want to ask you something." This is the first time that Ye Sangen has taken the initiative to talk to Shi Gandang, which makes this young Taoist priest who has already seen Ye Sangen's impatience with him a little obviously happy,
"Third son, you say, you know everything and say everything." The frivolity of talking and doing things makes Ye Sangen always feel a little disgusted, but this Taoist priest from the head of the five mountains of Mount Tai can give some information that can be regarded as key at a critical moment, not to mention harming or pitting people, this is also a good person.
It was the third watch of the night who asked this good man, "What do you know about the Xiangxi faction?" The eyes that never saw much brilliance instantly burst out with a meaning that all men understand, and Shi Dangdang's saliva seemed to be about to flow down,
"Third son, have you taken a fancy to that Dao aunt?" Sure enough, you can't give him a little color, otherwise you would really dare to open a big dyeing workshop.
Seeing that Ye Sangen's eyes were wrong, Shi Dangdang hurriedly put away his frivolity, but his serious appearance was even more obscene, and he said: "The reputation of the Xiangxi faction is not very good, so in recent decades, it has lived in seclusion in the 100,000 mountains, and it has become a secluded sect like a burial knife tomb. ”
"Can you not mention the Grave of the Undertaker?" Night Three is even more impatient. Comparing this kind of sect that does yin and yang weird affairs with his own mother's sect, although there is no contempt for it, but Ye San is still a little uncomfortable.
Shi dare to be honest and fearful,
"Don't be angry, the third prince is poor." I'm not used to the other party's style, and Yesan is even more lazy to take care of it.
Shi Dangdang continued: "The Xiangxi faction is Dong Shi Xiaofeng, what is their identity, and they dare to learn the burial knife tomb? Not to mention the Xiangxi faction, even if our Daomen chases for another 800 years, it can't compare to the sect of the third son's family. "Ye Sangen really wants to slap it over now.
I don't want to deal with this young Taoist priest who keeps saying that he wants to work for the night family, and the third night greets a mountain, and walks away.
"Oops, hey." Shi Dangdang hurried to follow,
"Third son, what do you want to know? The Xiangxi faction has been established for 300 years, specializing in exorcism of ghosts and corpses. Although he lives in seclusion in the 100,000 mountains, he will occasionally go out to the mountains to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, or carry the corpses of some ethnic minorities to drive out the corpses, so as to earn daily expenses. The Dan Fu that they have passed down from generation to generation is a secret that is not passed down, and the poor Dao absolutely does not know this, if you are curious about how they drive away the corpses, you can only ask them yourself. Ye San's eyes looked at the Taoist priest with broken thoughts, and the latter shut up at the right time.
"Don't pretend to be confused with me, you should understand what I want to ask." Shi Dangdang was surprised: "Third son, do you really like this Dao Aunt?" The voice was so loud, not to mention the Taoist priests, even Wudang Elder Zhang Jiuping, who was stunned by a mountain and a punch, also woke up leisurely at this moment.
Ye San frowned.
"Yishan, quick, quick, hammer him to death."
