Chapter 62: Clues in Food
"It's a discovery. ”
Li Xuan then walked over to Xu Gushan's broken corpse and looked carefully at the person's stomach. Then he thoughtfully said, "This meat they eat is not like fish, but like baby fish, or snakes?" Let's go look at the kitchen. ”
He suddenly walked in the direction of the temple's kitchen. Coincidentally, Ma Chenggong is also here in the kitchen.
"Captain, you've come just in time, look here. These kitchen utensils, these stoves, can handle at least a few hundred people. This is where the offal is supposed to be made on a fire to feed the children. There is a lot of food prepared here, and several stoves have been used recently, and I suspect that they have some living children in their hands. ”
Li Xuan walked directly to the jar containing the kitchen waste, and then kicked it down.
The disgusting and rancid smell suddenly filled the audience, but Li Xuan had a magic spell to blind his mouth and nose, and the effect was even better than a mask.
He leaned down, picked out some of the strange bones inside, and asked, "What kind of bones do you see here?" I haven't seen before. ”
Most of the people present were at a loss and looked at each other.
Only Peng Fulai hesitated for a while and then spoke: "I recognize, it should be the Blood Salamander, one of the young species of the dragon, don't you remember? ”
Li Xuan's expression suddenly changed: "No wonder it's a little familiar." ”
"How many times have you eaten the blood salamander?" Ma Chenggong couldn't help but scold: "You rich children who should kill a thousand knives!"
Xu Gushan fell into a deep groan: "The key is that there is such a thing as a blood salamander, which can only be found in underground rivers and karst caves with excellent water quality. I remember blood salamanders are expensive, right?"
"A blood salamander is worth more than five hundred taels, and all the major restaurants in the city are collecting it. Peng Fulai squinted and said: "When ordinary people catch blood salamanders, they will sell them to restaurants." They were extravagant and ate them directly. I think there are a lot of salamander bones in this, at least seven or more. ”
"What if you can't sell it, don't you dare to sell it? The dead Daoists here don't have any cultivation in their bodies. ”
After Ma Chenggong said this, he raised his head excitedly and looked at everyone present: "As far as I know, there are only two underground rivers near the entire Nanjing City, and there are only three karst caves, and even fewer places that can accommodate hundreds of people!"
The clue that was originally broken is now back on!
At this time, one of the demon wanderers was a little surprised: "But the two underground rivers and karst caves, we have investigated them as soon as possible, and they are the top priority of our six divisions' search." ”
"But since they have so much energy, wouldn't it be easy to hide from our people? I remember that a few days ago, our Six Dao Divisions assigned to investigate the Dark River, and there were only twenty-two people. The rest were borrowed from the Yingtianfu Yamen, the Nanjing Criminal Department and the Beijing Camp. How reliable can the results of such an investigation be? Don't forget that the previous case between our Liudao Division and Jiangning County was an internal problem. ”
Ma Chenggong looked at Jiang Hanyun: "Lord Captain! ”
"Naturally, we want to find out. ”
Jiang Hanyun held the waist knife, and her eyes were cold: "The search can't be carried out with great fanfare, in order not to startle the snake, I still have to rely on my little thunder." Ma Chenggong, you now call everyone into the Taoist temple, from now on it is strictly forbidden to enter and exit, and you are not allowed to communicate with the outside world! Ma Chenggong, you are personally responsible for this matter, and you will keep an eye on all the people. ”
Li Xuan thought to himself that this boss could be promoted to the position of captain, and it was really not for nothing, and his IQ was online at the critical moment.
The time of death of these Taoist priests was certainly within half an hour. But this does not mean that all the people in their Ming and Youdu are reliable and trustworthy.
Jiang Hanyun's current approach is just in case.
As for the search for the underground river, for Jiang Hanyun's four-tailed spirit fox, it is a relatively simple matter.
The food of the hundreds of people must be transported back and forth, and there will definitely be smells left along the way, and the spirit fox only needs to follow the map.
Just after about a stick of incense, Si Qianhui walked in with Jiang Hanyun's spirit fox in her arms: "Lord Captain, I followed your Xiao Lei for about seven miles, until I reached the Da Bao'en Temple, and Xiao Lei stopped. It stood still for a long time, until a subordinate received your recall rune. ”
Jiang Hanyun stretched out his hand and took the four-tailed spirit fox. The latter called softly, not knowing what he was saying. And Jiang Hanyun's willow eyebrows also frowned slightly.
"Lord Captain," Ma Chenggong asked curiously, "Linghu has gained something?"
"Nope. Jiang Hanyun shook her head: "But it said that it is not that you can't smell the smell, but that there are too many similar smells, countless of them, and it is difficult to distinguish them for a while." ”
Too many similar smells?
Li Xuan couldn't help but move slightly, the Dabao'en Temple, that is, the inner Qinhuai River, there are hundreds of brothels along the way of the so-called ten-mile Qinhuai.
There are too many similar smells, is it a Qinglou woman?
However, the immediate priority is to find the caves and dark rivers where those evil cultivators are hiding.
Jiang Hanyun fed the spirit fox two more pills, and when the latter recovered his spirits, he sent the spirit fox away again.
This time the waiting time is estimated to be long, Li Xuan carefully examined the two corpses, and after finding no more clues available, he came to a room in the backyard of the Taoist temple alone, began to sit cross-legged, and carried Zhou Tian.
This was because he expected that he would not be able to return home today, so he simply completed the homework of the 'Mixed Yuan Celestial Phenomena' here.
And after five rounds of Sunday, Li Xuan began to practice the family heirloom palm technique again.
He has been like this lately, cultivating every step of the way, and not letting go of any free time.
Li Xuan's original body owed a bit much, and this was not something that could be made up for by an ancestor possessed by a divine attack.
It wasn't until the time passed that someone called Li Xuan over. He found that the four-tailed spirit fox had returned to Jiang Hanyun's arms. Ma Chenggong and Si Qianhui next to him were all happy.
"Lord Captain?" Li Xuan's eyes lit up, thinking that this spirit fox must have gained something.
"Sit next to you. Ma Chenggong's smile couldn't be suppressed: "Just wait here, this time we can't take it with the strength of our Mingyoudu." ”
Li Xuan immediately didn't say a word, and found a place in the corner to sit down.
He felt quite honored in his heart, the entire Mingyou could be qualified to be called by Jiang Hanyun to wait in the Sanqing Palace, including Ma Chenggong and Si Qianhui, there were only six people.
About a quarter of an hour later, three figures paced inside from the outside. Surprisingly, the guards outside had no idea of their arrival.
Jiang Hanyun and the others were not surprised at all, and immediately got up and saluted in the direction of the three of them: "See the chief manager for the inferior rank!"
Li Xuan saluted with the crowd, and only after getting up did he look at the three people in front of him.
He knew the two people in the back, Lei Yun, the commander of the Fire Raven Capital, and his subordinate Frost Cloud, the commander of the Demon Du.
What made him care about was the one who was the first of the three, it was an old man, with white hair, a clear and thin face, wearing a Taoist robe, and the appearance of a fairy wind and bones. But the eyes were pale, without pupils, and seemed to be blind.
Li Xuan was thinking that this was the Demon Master of their Vermilion Bird Hall, when he suddenly sensed a powerful Yin and Cold Force entering his body. He looked back in astonishment and found that the female ghost in red had disappeared.
Did this female ghost hide in his body?
The old man obviously didn't notice anything wrong, and the first thing he said after his arrival was: "Hanyun, what you said is true?"
"It's true!"
Jiang Hanyun arched his hands with an extremely solemn face: "We have not only found that group of evil cultivators, but also found traces of endless blood. ”
