Su Xiao hurriedly stepped over and stepped on the hand, pulling Lu Meng aside.

At this time, the sky was already dark, Su Xiao swept around, feeling that something was wrong, and immediately pulled out the broken sword and continued to cut down the surrounding bushes.

After cleaning up a piece a little, the scene in front of him made Lu Meng tremble, and even Su Xiao's pupils shook slightly.

More than a dozen dried corpses, like garbage thrown out, lay in the bushes. And this is only an area cleared by Su Xiao, I don't know if there are any other bushes.

"This ...... How could it be...... How can there be so many dead people? ”

Lu Meng's voice trembled. It's not that she hasn't seen dead people, it's just that each of these corpses looks like they've been sucked dry of flesh, and all of them are skin and bones, and the death is quite horrific.

Moreover, the expressions on their faces were extremely frightened, as if they had experienced great pain before they died.

"You stay there, don't come here."

Su Xiao ordered, and immediately went over to check the corpses.

This place is not far from the Cloud Sword Sect, but these corpses are not from the Cloud Sword Sect, judging from the way they dress, they are all ordinary people.

Moreover, all of them are young women.

Su Xiao instantly remembered the recent disappearance of the woman!

It's just that why their deaths are like this, as if they have all been sucked dry of flesh.

After thinking about it for a long time, Su Xiao only thought of one possibility.

Furnace Ding!

These women are all regarded as furnaces to improve their own cultivation!

The furnace is different from the double/cultivation, which is when two monks become Taoist couples, complement each other and improve their cultivation together.

And the furnace is a complete evil art! Using women's essence and blood as nourishment, although it can improve one's own cultivation, it will also make the woman's essence and blood that is regarded as a furnace die of exhaustion.

Eventually, it turned into such a dried corpse.

Therefore, the Central Plains has always been very disdainful of this kind of evil art, and if anyone is known to use such evil arts, they will definitely be hunted down and killed by the whole Central Plains.

However, in the southern and western parts of Xinjiang, such evil arts are still quite popular.

Su Xiao stood up after inspecting several corpses, his eyes solemn. He had determined that these women must have been treated as furnaces.

It's just that he still has to make sure that person did it.

"Recently...... Your uncle and grandfather, have you ever gone down the mountain? ”

"Uncle?"

Lu Meng was still in the horror of finding the corpse, and Su Xiao's sudden question made her a little confused.

But after thinking for a while, Lu Meng still said: "Occasionally, he said that the medical halls in the nearby towns and Shenyao Hall are not manpowered, and sometimes he will go to help with free clinics." ”

Su Xiao's eyes were shocked!

Really!

It's Lu Dingjiang!

Last time, Chen Qingshan had already reported that a woman went to the hospital before she disappeared, and it was received by an old man in a gray robe who was not in the hospital on weekdays.

Undoubtedly, that is Lu Dingjiang!

Coupled with all the previous things, everything is connected, Su Xiao is already sure that he must be the mastermind behind the missing woman's case!

Coldly, Su Xiao remembered the frightened expression on Gu He when he was taken away by Lu Dingjiang after rescuing Lu Meng and Gu He, who were kidnapped.

Perhaps, she knows something.

It's just that it seems that she hasn't seen her in the Cloud Sword Sect for a few days.

"Have you seen Gu He recently?"

"Senior Sister Gu?"

Lu Meng thought about it again: "The last time we were taken captive, Senior Sister Gu and I haven't seen him since we were taken back to the sect by our uncle and grandfather. Uncle and grandfather said that she was healing and it was inconvenient to come out. ”

"Brother Liuzi, why do you suddenly ask that? These corpses ...... Does it have anything to do with Uncle and Grandpa and Senior Sister Gu? ”

Su Xiao's eyes were even darker, and his eyes unconsciously stared at Lu Meng, who was full of ignorance, and he was secretly worried in his heart.

When he first practiced with Situ Jue, the old man talked to him about some evil arts like the furnace ding. Some furnace methods need women who have no cultivation, and Lu Dingjiang probably uses this kind of woman, so he will target these folk women.

And Gu He, after taking a large amount of special Peiyuan Pill last time, was counterattacked, and his cultivation was lost.

Perhaps, she has also been murdered.

At the same time, Su Xiao did not forget that Lu Meng had not started to cultivate until now, and he had no cultivation. Perhaps, Lu Dingjiang has also used her as a spare furnace.

This is his niece! Blood relatives with the same surname, it's too frustrating!

Su Xiao himself felt that such a guess was crazy, but on the contrary, this was the only reasonable explanation.

"Have you started cultivating recently?"

Lu Meng shook his head: "Not yet." ”

"Uncle and grandfather still said that my foundation is unstable, and I don't know where to find a lot of mental methods that I haven't seen, so I have to copy them all."

Hearing this, Su Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that in a short period of time, Lu Dingjiang will not attack Lu Meng, and she is not in danger for the time being.

Su Xiao looked at Lu Meng again, his eyes were earnest: "Xiaomeng, if you believe me, you must remember what I say next." ”

"Everything you see and hear today must be kept secret, as if you had never entered the back mountain. I can't say anything about anyone. ”

Lu Meng was a little surprised, and he didn't know why Su Xiao suddenly said this: "Isn't it okay to uncle and grandfather?" ”

"Especially for him!"

Su Xiao was silent.

Lu Meng's face was still full of doubts, but seeing that Su Xiao was so determined, he still nodded.

"I see, Brother Liuzi."

Looking at Lu Meng's reaction, he should have really listened to it, and Su Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, let's go."

It took more than half an hour for the two of them to finally get out of the dense forest.

Told Lu Meng again to keep everything secret today, and Su Xiao separated from her.

It has not been a few days since the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Exercise, and the major sects participating in the Four Kingdoms Martial Arts Exercise have all arrived at the Cloud Sword Sect one after another. There were also people arriving at this time, and the main gate and main hall were very noisy.

Su Xiao deliberately avoided the crowd and returned to the Sword Casting Hall. After resting for a while, he waited for the light of day before heading to the council chamber.

Liu Wushuang and Lu Dingjiang happened to be there. Seeing Su Xiao, both of them were surprised.

"You...... You're here so soon? Have you been to the Forbidden Land in the Backhills? ”

"Of course."

Liu Wushuang and Lu Dingjiang both looked at Su Xiao with suspicious eyes, and they were a little incredulous when they saw that he was neatly dressed and had a full beard and tail.

"What about you...... Got the Demon Pill? ”

Su Xiao didn't say much, and took out a cloth bag. He didn't put the demon pill in the ring, he only took a cloth bag and put it casually.

The cloth bag was opened, and more than a dozen demon pills emitting a faint blue light were among them!

"This ......"

Liu Wushuang's eyes widened instantly. No one knows better than her the danger of those bloodthirsty wolves in the back mountain, Su Xiao actually got so many demon pills at once?

Lu Dingjiang was also incredulous, and even stammered a little: "You, how many demon beasts have you killed?" ”

"Demon beasts? I didn't kill any of them. ”

The two people opposite him were even more confused: "Then you-"

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank the other fellow disciples who tried in the forbidden land of the back mountain."

Liu Wushuang was stunned, and Lu Dingjiang's eyelids jumped slightly, and a bad premonition was born in his heart.

"Other...... Same door? ”

"Not long after I entered the forbidden land of the back mountain, I got lost in the forest, so I thought about taking a rest first."

"Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, I heard a noise, and then I saw a group of people fighting with a group of demon wolves."

"These demon pills are all from the demon wolves that were killed by those people."

At this moment, Lu Dingjiang's face had turned iron-blue, and he almost gritted his teeth.

"That'...... What about them? ”

Su Xiao shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "I don't know." There were too many demon wolves, they couldn't resist them, and then they ran away. ”

"But I can see clearly, those people are wearing the clothes of the Law Enforcement Hall."

Su Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Dingjiang: "What, didn't Elder Lu ask them to go to the forbidden land for trial?" Are they back? ”

"If I come back, I have to go to the Law Enforcement Hall in person and thank them well."
