Chapter 117: Talks
The people in front of Baixiu Pavilion are stacked side by side, one after another, everyone is discussing, various legends are endless, and the noise of the scene is endless.
The county guard mansion was also not at peace at this time, and in the council hall of the county guard mansion, I saw two people sitting on the main seat, one was an old man in a brocade robe, and the other was a young man dressed as a Confucian in white, it was Hongtian and Dongyuan.
On both sides of the hall stood a row of soldiers with sabers in their hands, led by Commander Liu, a henchman of Hongtian, and saw three wooden planks placed side by side in the center of the hall, all covered by white cloths, and the atmosphere was very quiet, and everyone had a solemn face.
Sitting on the main seat, Hongtian's wrinkled face was very calm, and he raised his hand slightly, already making a gesture.
Seeing this, Commander Liu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took a few steps forward, the delicate armor on his body clanged, and then saluted:
"Lord County Guard, according to the report of the soldiers in charge of the night patrol last night, last night at about the end of the night, near the Baixiu Pavilion on Nanyuan Street, there was a fierce battle, the salt merchant Master Liu died on the spot, and the rest did not die, only a few officials were slightly injured, not serious, the owner of the Baixiu Pavilion, Wu Xiong, is nowhere to be seen, because the power of the two sides last night was really amazing, and the strength of the cultivation was far beyond the last general, the last general did not dare to contact them easily, for fear of causing innocent soldiers to die. β
"According to the last general's investigation, the one who fought in Baixiu Pavilion was a master from the north, Huyan Six Swordsmen, and the other was a killer who attacked His Royal Highness the Six Princes, the bone god hand Quan Anwu, this person defeated Huyan Six Swordsmen in front of Baixiu Pavilion, and then took two red men and rushed to the boundary monument of Baiyue County, and was finally killed by a monk, the identity of this monk, according to the guess of the last general, should be a monk of Wanli Ma, unintentional mage, but due to the rush of time, if you want to determine his identity, you still need to investigate, as for the two red people, Mr. Dongyuan is responsible for pursuingγ β
After saying that, Commander Liu slowly walked to the three wooden planks placed in the center of the council room, only to see that he stretched out his hand and lifted the white cloth on the left board, and a terrible corpse was exposed in front of everyone's eyes.
As soon as Commander Liu lifted the white cloth covering the wooden board, a pungent smell immediately filled the air, only to see the corpse lying on the wooden board, which died last night, but its corpse was somewhat decomposed, and the body was covered with pits, blood holes the size of the mouth of the cup, and rotten and smelly rotten flesh hung around the blood holeγ
Some cloudy eyes narrowed slightly, Hongtian frowned slightly, and the violent corpse smell emitted by the corpse penetrated into the nasal cavity, covering his mouth and nose, coughing slightly, Hongtian then commanded to Dongyuan beside him:
"You go and invite Granny Long and Brother Shangji, the two of them are well-informed and experienced, and they can see why Quan Anwu died in the end. β
Dongyuan heard this, then slowly got up, nodded and saluted, and walked towards the outside of the conference hall, Dongyuan walked to Quan Anwu's corpse, couldn't help but stop slightly, seeing such a tragic scene, he still looked as usual, and Commander Liu who was standing on the side of the corpse glanced at each other, both of them smiled and nodded, carrying one hand, Dongyuan's figure gradually walked out of the conference hall.
Commander Liu looked at the empty door of the council hall, and a strange look vaguely flashed under his eyes, but looking at his expression, he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Hongtian couldn't help but wave his hand, wanting to drive away the pungent smell that permeated the surroundings, but this smell was really human, lingering, Hongtian coughed slightly, and then motioned for Commander Liu to continue.
Commander Liu stretched out his hand to lift the other two white cloths, and the two corpses lying on the wooden board were Song Yu and Brother Yang, Brother Yang's head had been connected, and there was a black-red-red blood mark on his neck, although the bodies of the two were still complete, but because they were scratched by Quan Anwu, the bones of the whole body were crushed, so they looked a little soft and collapsed, and they looked a little indescribably weird.
Commander Liu pointed to the two corpses and said in a deep voice:
"These two corpses were found by a woodcutter when he was passing through the eastern suburbs, and the last general has asked for a preliminary autopsy, both of them were brutally broken bones, according to the last general, these two should also be the killers who attacked the six princes. β
"In addition, the Yunlai gambling house on the north street was also attacked last night, and I learned from the gamblers that this was also done by Quan Anwu, and the body of Shangguan Lu, the owner of the gambling house, was embedded in the stone wall, and it was broken into a blurred mass of flesh and blood, and the last general also recognized his identity by virtue of his clothes. β
"The incident happened suddenly, and it was related to the assassination of the six princes, and the last general did not dare to make his own decisions, so he had to send the body here as soon as possible and ask the county guard to punish him. β
Hongtian nodded slightly, and his tone was full of appreciation:
"Yes, it is not easy for you to investigate this matter so clearly in such a short period of time, how can this official blame you?"
Commander Liu hurriedly saluted and said in a deep voice:
"Thank you, sir, this is the duty of the last general. β
At this time, Dongyuan had already invited the Daoist and Granny Long to the meeting hall, and when Hong Tian saw this, he quickly got up from the main seat and greeted the two.
Hongtian walked to the two of them and hurriedly saluted:
"Granny Long, brother on the plane, this matter still needs to trouble the two of you. β
Granny Long was still wearing a gorgeous red dress, her palm gently rubbed the dragon's head crutch, and then nodded in response:
"The old body also sensed an amazing aura last night, and went to check it out, and met many old friends who I hadn't seen for many years. β
The Taoist and Granny Long walked slowly to the three corpses, only to see that the Taoist quickly covered his mouth and nose, and even the white beard was erected by the choking smell, and the Taoist couldn't help but scold:
"The smell of this corpse is worse than that of a carrion corpse that has been dead for half a month!"
After a full quarter of an hour, the Taoist and the red woman looked at each other, both of them had solemn faces, their brows were furrowed, and Hong Tian saw such a serious expression, and his heart became nervous.
"Brother on the plane, Granny Long, I don't know what clues you can see?"
The Taoist stroked his long white beard, and then stared at the corpses of Song Yu and Brother Yang:
According to the old man's preliminary observation, these two people were vigorously shattered all over the body, looking at the dantian of these two people, they should have the strength of the second-rate realm, and if they can injure the two masters to such an extent, this person's strength must be ridiculously strong. β
Granny Long also chimed in:
"What the Taoist said on the plane is good, the old man guessed that these two people were killed by Quan Anwu, one of them was the copper ring iron arm Song Yu, this person is also quite famous in the rivers and lakes, so many masters sneak attack together, the six princes can escape, it is not easy, I don't know if they are a gang, why do they want to kill each other?"
When Hong heard this, he also nodded secretly and sighed, and a man in black clothes and a man carrying Qingyuan on his back couldn't help but appear in his heart, if it weren't for this person to help, the six princes would not be able to escape this fate.
The Taoist on the plane frowned, and the folds on his face were stacked together, only to see him take a step forward, looking at Quan Anwu's corpse, his tone was full of doubts:
"According to your words, this whole day was killed last night, but now this body is highly decomposed, and you see that this wound must have been made by some kind of poisonous insect, and the venom of this poisonous insect corroded the flesh and blood, and caused the corpse to fester, and the strong stench. β
Granny Long stared at Quan Anwu's corpse with both eyes, and said with a deep face:
"The old body had seen a similar death when he was young, that person was killed by someone who was under a Gu worm, and the Gu worm attacked, but compared to this corpse, it was simply a big deal, the old body thought, Quan Anwu was given some kind of Gu worm by someone, in order to achieve the purpose of control. β
At this point, Hong Tian and Commander Liu were both stunned, a little incredulous, how terrifying the strength of the first-class master was, they naturally knew, but now someone actually used such a means to control the first-class martial artist, how can people not be surprised.
"What Granny Long said is true, the Central Plains is also a little obsessed with studying the evil cultivation of poisonous insects and Gu worms, but because of the rejection and disgust of the Central Plains martial arts, seeing and killing them, their cultivation is generally not profound, and the martial artists who want to control the first-class realm are simply cannibalistic dreams, even the old man can't believe that poisons can make a master of Quan Anwu's strength, but the facts are in front of us, and we can't believe it. β
The Taoist couldn't help but sigh and sigh, and then saw him pointing at Song Yu and said:
"If you look closely, there are also some dark red dots hidden under this person's skin, think about it, this is the same species as the poison in Quan Anwu, but the difference in cultivation strength between the two is too big, and the cultivation and type of this Gu worm are also different. β
When everyone heard this, sure enough, there were indeed a lot of red spots under Song Yu's skin, unlike Quan Anwu's body that was ulcerated and pierced, these red spots were not very obvious, just like the marks left by needle.
"These red dots are the traces left by the Gu worms that are parasitic in the body and break out of the body surface after the host dies, the old man thinks about it, such a Gu worm against the sky, although the old man has never heard of it, but in this world, there is only one place that can be cultivated, that is the Great Sect of the Western Regions, the Ten Thousand Poison Gate. β
"Ten Thousand Poison Gate?"
Hong Tian exclaimed, this Ten Thousand Poisons Gate is the top faction in the Western Regions, and its reputation is even more than the Huashan Sect inherited for thousands of years, because the disciples in this sect, everyone is proud of practicing poisonous skills, and the exercises are extremely difficult.
