Chapter 107: Cross-examination
"Uncle Shi, what kind of elixir is this "Thousand Corpses Pill", it exudes bloody breath, what is the effect. Liu Yu deliberately asked suspiciously.
This "Thousand Corpses Pill" is still an evil pill that is refined to replenish energy by slaughtering mortals. Master and nephew, I will collect it first on behalf of the sect, and the sect will count your merits for you at that time. Are there any other relics of that evil cultivator?" asked the Changshan Dao man's eyes lit up.
The appearance of the "Thousand Corpses Pill" lifted the spirits of the people of Changshan Dao, and they thought in their hearts, this evil cultivation is not simple!
"Uncle Shi, they are all here, except for the storage bags left by the evil way, the other four are left by Senior Brother Li. Liu Yu took the initiative to hand over the five storage bags prepared in advance to the people of Changshan Dao.
After taking them one by one, the Changshan Daoist picked up the big red storage bag left by the evil cultivator, and his spiritual sense probed into it and carefully probed it. It was found that there were a few spirit stones, clothes, some ordinary medicinal herbs, and some miscellaneous items in the storage bag. Changshan Daoren's brows furrowed, and his face showed a look of loss.
"Senior nephew, is that all?" asked the Changshan Daoist with a sharp gaze at Liu Yu.
"Uncle Shi, that's all, after the corpse of the evil path exploded, there was not much left of the limbs, and they were all burned. Liu Yu replied firmly, not squinting, and he couldn't show timidity at this time.
"Oh, let's go back then!" said Nagayama with a playful smile. casually returned the big red storage bag to Liu Yu, which also belonged to Liu Yu's loot.
Changshan Daoist can be sure that this master and nephew have something to hide, and he must have gained something, but he is not good at asking too much. From beginning to end, this teacher and nephew behaved very calmly and without the slightest flaw.
In fact, the sect does not have a mandatory collection of the spoils obtained from killing the evil way, it is all attributed to the killer, only some special items, the sect will be forced to pay, and a certain amount of compensation will be given afterwards.
Changshan Daoren's playful smile made Liu Yu more and more uneasy, and his heart jumped, but he pretended to be calm and did not show it, and followed out of the earthen house. Back in Yannan City, Liu Yu first arranged an exquisite private room for the Changshan Daoist in the Heavenly Master's Mansion to let him rest.
Huang Shenglingzhuang of Gaoyang City received the news sent by Liu Yu through the post station, so he immediately arranged for the people of Changshan Dao to rush to Yannan City first to investigate what happened.
Changshan Daoren, his real name is Zheng Changxin, and his road name is "Changshan". Wood is a heavenly spirit root, cultivated in the early stage of foundation building, and is one of the two foundation building monks of Huang Shengzong resident in Gaoyang City.
Zheng Changxin braved the pouring rain and thunder, and it took Edgeworth half a day to rush to Yannan City at full speed, during which he consumed a lot of mana and energy, and he was indeed a little tired. After Liu Yu said goodbye, he began to exercise and recuperate and restore his spiritual power.
Liu Yu walked on the way back to his residence, thinking about his reply to Uncle Zheng's words, and felt that there was nothing to say, which calmed his uneasy mood a little.
The next day the rain stopped, and the humid air was cool and pleasant. Early in the morning, Liu Yu took Uncle Zheng to Yizhuang to inspect the bodies of Li Songlin and the four people.
After the coffin was opened, the smell of decay immediately permeated, and the bodies of the four people were somewhat decomposed. Zheng Changxin was busy holding his breath and unfolding his spiritual sense to carefully inspect it.
It was found that Xi Chenyong, Yuan Man, and Shen Yuan were in the same state of death, their faces were struggling, and they must have been very painful before they died, and the cause of death was indeed very similar to being attacked by a yin spirit. Li Songlin's internal organs were all shattered, and judging from the death status, Liu Yu's statement that the cause of Li Songlin's death was injured by a temporary self-explosion of the evil way.
"Senior uncle, if the corpses of the senior brothers are properly arranged?" Liu Yu asked when he saw that the corpses of the four had begun to decompose.
"Arrange a cremation tomorrow, and bring the ashes back to the sect and send them to their family for a thick burial. Zheng Changxin motioned for the official to close the coffin, and the Lin Governor on the side hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to prepare.
Out of Yizhuang, Liu Yu took Zheng Changxin around the major medical halls in Yannan City, and at noon, he was invited to Lin Zifeng's house as a guest, and Lin Zifeng had already arranged a banquet. After the banquet, Zheng Changxin asked Liu Yuqian to leave, saying that he had something important to explain to Lin Zifeng.
"Uncle Shi, the juniors are going to stay in Yizhuang, if you have something, you can send someone to greet the disciple at any time. Liu Yu retired first, he knew that the Changshan Daoist was deliberately supporting himself.
Zheng Changxin really wants to support Liu Yu, otherwise it will be inconvenient to investigate. He asked Lin Zifeng about the incident in Xiaowei Village, and Lin Zifeng, as the prefect, should know more clearly. Lin Zifeng told Zheng Changxin everything he knew, and he didn't dare to hide it.
"Oh, do you mean that a hunter noticed something unusual and came to report the letter?" Zheng Changxin asked casually after hearing this.
"Yes, it was a strong man named Ai Dahu who came to report the letter, and it was also the way he led. Lin Zifeng replied respectfully
"Where is this strong man, is it convenient to call?" Zheng Changxin felt that this person might know more.
"Immortal Master, I'll send someone to find him in the future. Lin Zifeng said immediately.
Soon Ai Dahu was found and intermittently told his experience in Xiaowei Village that day. Because he was suddenly called by the prefect, he didn't know what to say, and the new immortal master looked serious, which made him a little uneasy.
After listening carefully to Lin Zifeng and Ai Dahu's description of the incident, they found that there was no conflict with what Liu's nephew said, and this nephew should not have a big problem.
"Senior Nephew Liu, that's the Tianshi Liu you know. Did you threaten you afterwards, or instructed you to deliberately conceal some trivial matters?" Zheng Changxin finally asked after making sure of it.
"Immortal Master, Liu Tianshi didn't. Lin Zifeng was shocked and replied truthfully.
"Heavenly Master, no. Ai Dahu also replied.
After listening to the two of them's answers, Zheng Changxin dispelled too much suspicion of Liu Yu. said goodbye to Lin Zifeng and went back to his residence to rest.
Lin Zifeng lay on the bench, repeating left and right, thinking about whether to tell Liu Yu what happened just now and give him a wake-up call. After many years of being an official, he clearly felt that this Daoist Zheng had deep suspicions about Liu Tianshi.
The backyard of Yizhuang is usually empty and shabby, and sometimes some unclaimed dead bodies in Yizhuang are burned. At this time, the arrangement is very grand, with thick white soul-attracting flags inserted in the four corners, and two rows of delicate wreaths are placed around it. In the middle of the courtyard, a square mourning platform was built with willow wood, and four coffins were placed on the mourning platform.
"Woo woo" knelt in the audience and cried in a low voice. The wives and concubines of the four in Yannan City, all dressed in white filial piety clothes, came to see them off, crying together.
"The auspicious time has arrived," shouted in front of the spiritual platform of Changshan Dao. The two hands were sealed, and two thick fire snakes were strung out of thin air, quickly winding around the spirit platform from both sides, igniting the base of the spirit platform.
"The ancestor of Huangsheng is above, and the disciples of the sect, Li Songlin, Xi Chenyong, Yuan Man, and Shen Yuan, are not afraid of evil demons, fight to the end, and dedicate themselves to defending the Dao. The four disciples demonstrated the teachings of the sect to eliminate demons and defend the way, and the sect was proud of this, and implored the ancestors to bless the four disciples and enter the reincarnation as soon as possible. ”
Zheng Changxin's expression was solemn, his hands were folded, and he closed his eyes in prayer. After praying, his hands changed his handprints, and the flames around the altar soared into the air, and the fire soared, and the entire altar was engulfed in flames in an instant. Under Zheng Changxin's control, the fire burned more and more, the temperature in the field became higher and higher, and the firewood made a crackling sound.
Liu Yu hurriedly reminded the people who were kneeling in front of the mourning platform and crying that they moved backwards to avoid being injured for no reason.
The coffin was soon reduced to ashes in such a fierce flame. Zheng Changxin then cast a spell, and four light winds rolled up four pillars of dust, which were respectively injected into the jade altar that had been prepared long ago. The lid of the altar closed automatically, and the last four jade altars flew up, and Zheng Changxin waved his hand and disappeared into the air.
