Ying Wuxin thanked him, told everyone to retreat, stood in a safe area and waited, prepared ropes and oxen, this is a swamp, find a corpse, and want to get it out, even if they are Taoist heroes, it is very difficult, and in the end they may have to rely on the most primitive methods and tools.

Li Zhengdao spread out his palms towards the water surface in front of him, and under the guidance of the formula, the water surged, revealing the silt below, and a large amount of water in the silt was also drawn out little by little.

However, Li Zhengdao did not control the power of the water element, and could not control the flow of water in detail, so while the water in the silt was drawn out, some silt was also drawn up.

Ying unintentionally stepped forward, cast the method, and began to induce the control of the silt below, so that the water in it was gradually peeled out, and the two acted up and down together, forming a peculiar whirlpool in the silt, and the villagers on the shore were amazed.

"Senior sister. Li Zhengdao turned around and greeted.

"Fire. ”

Bai Miaozhen pointed her finger forward, and a flame burned above the swirling mud, the temperature rose, and the water evaporated in large quantities, and a stream of white gas came out, and a fishy smell spread out.

With the scorching of the flames, the surface of the dough-like silt below began to dry up little by little, and then the surface condensed into dry soil, which split into pieces again, and under Ying Wuxin's control, it soon flew up automatically and landed on the shore on the side.

At this time, Li Zhengdao controlled the surrounding water and did not let the water flow into the whirlpool.

The flames burned, and the earth below was dried layer by layer, peeled off layer by layer, and led to the shore, where it soon piled up into a heap, and the villagers who watched were stunned and speechless.

Before, they brought their tools, and they thought they were going to dig the silt, although they knew that this work was difficult to do, because the silt would flow, and if they dug here, the people next to them would come, and it would be difficult to dig deeper, but with the order of the village chief, for the safety of the village, they had to come, and they were considered to be affected.

But now that I look at it, Daoxia's method is simply incredible, but the efficiency is very good, and after a while, he has dug more than three feet deep in the silt, and the surrounding water and silt have not flowed at all.

After three feet, the three of them continued together, four, five, and six.

At this time, Bai Miaozhen's forehead had already begun to sweat, and her cultivation was the lowest among the three, even if she used the simplest flame method, she consumed a lot of natural energy.

"Let me do it. Sun Xiaoman stepped forward, spurred the flames, and replaced Bai Miaozhen.

Li Zhengdao looked at the six-foot-deep mud pit in front of him, there was nothing else in it, and he gasped slightly: "Brother Wuxin, it may be necessary to expand the range." ”

"Good. You should not inadvertently say yes and begin to cooperate.

Sun Xiaoman also controlled the flames and moved with them.

This expands the area from the depths and separates the water and soil from the sludge, making it easier because the flame is scorching from below, leaving a larger area of contact with the silt.

As the sun gradually rose, the holes in the reeds widened little by little, from three feet in diameter, one inch in diameter, to four, five, and six feet.

At this time, the soil on the shore had accumulated into a huge bag of soil, and Li Zhengdao cheered in surprise: "Yes, down there, junior sister carefully control the flames and don't burn the corpse." ”

Everyone looked and found that at the edge of the deep pit, a piece of cloth was revealed, which had been scorched by the flames at this time, and rolled up, Sun Xiaoman controlled the flames to stay away, baking the mud at a lower temperature, and at the same time not hurting the corpses that might be connected behind the cloth in the mud.

"I'm going to do it. While controlling the flow of water, Li Zhengdao pulled out his long sword, and pointed a little ahead, and one after another fierce sword qi shot out, impacting the mud around the cloth little by little.

"Brother Dao, you are too stupid, what a waste of natural energy to use sword qi at this time, you should use a shovel. Ying Wuxin smiled and waved to the shore, and a shovel flew over, under his control, digging the dirt around the cloth, and when the shovel went down, it was a large piece.

And Li Zhengdao was much slower because of his sword aura and fast speed, so he could only peel off the soil little by little, and he was afraid of destroying the corpse.

However, Li Zhengdao did not resist hard, dispersed his sword qi, and also got a shovel to excavate, and the soil was directly left in the dirt pit on the side, and the speed was not slow.

After digging for a while, an arm with mud was revealed.

"I'm here to help, too. Bai Miaozhen condensed a hundred-faced mirror, flew towards the dirt around his arm, and after a while, it fell into the mud one by one.

Controlling the crystal to travel in the mud, probing the location of the corpse, a moment later, Bai Miaozhen put the seal in his hand, and there was a sound in the mud, and the hundred-sided mirror had been completely closed, forming a prison, separating the silt around the corpse from the silt in the lake.

Li Zhengdao and Ying Wuxin sped up, and half of their bodies were gradually revealed.

Then Li Zhengdao got a mat and rolled up the corpse, Ying unintentionally wrapped it with a rope, let the other end of the rope stand on the cow, drive a cow, and gently pulled, the corpse came out of the mud, was controlled by Li Zhengdao, and sent to the shore.

The villagers gathered curiously, but they didn't get too close.

"You guys take a break, I'll wash the corpse. "Li Zhengdao corresponds to Wuxin and Sun Xiaoman, as well as Bai Miaozhendao.

The joint efforts of the four of them just now seem to be an ordinary job of digging mud, but the energy consumed by nature is no less than a vicious battle, and Li Zhengdao is a Taoist sect, and he is still calm and relaxed at this moment, and everyone else has begun to breathe heavily, and their foreheads are sweating, even if it is the third stage of the Daoist's Ying Wuxin, it is no exception.

The three of them nodded in agreement, and each sat down cross-legged to rest, Wang Banxian took out an oil-paper umbrella, and while giving Ying Wuxin shade, he took out a fan to fan the wind, like a slave.

Li Zhengdao led the water to flow over, and washed the corpse over and over again, as the mud was washed away little by little, the face of a young man was revealed.

"It's Shi Dayan, and sure enough, it's him. The villagers exclaimed.

"What's the situation with him, you didn't look for him when he disappeared?" Ying Wuxin asked, he remembered that when he came to this village, everyone didn't look for someone.

Shi Dare said: "This Shi Dayan has been working in the county, everyone doesn't know that he is back, plus yesterday found that the cemetery was stolen, everyone panicked, busy with that matter, didn't notice it at all, at the time I thought it was an outsider who was arrested, so Shi Dayan and his mother said for a while, but that will be panicked, who cares." ”

After thinking about yesterday's situation, Ying Wuxin didn't continue to ask, and began to check the corpse, in fact, he didn't need to be too careful at all, as long as he took a look, he could clearly see the abnormality, Shi Dayan's head started from the forehead part, and the skull was completely gone, revealing a hole in the head, and the brain was gone, perhaps eaten by the creatures in the mud.

Sun Xiaoman wrinkled his nose and sniffed, and said: "There is still a faint smell on the corpse, which is the strange smell I said before, judging from the degree of change in the corpse, it should have only been dead for a few days, but because it was made out of the mud, the skin has been swollen more severely, and now I can see the face, and it is also because this person is young, and there is not much meat on his face, otherwise the fat man's face will swell and become a cake." ”

Ying Wuxin said: "Then it can be basically confirmed, it is the victim we met the night before, and now it has been confirmed, the murderer killed him and took away his body just for the skull, it seems that the murderer has changed from the original tomb robber to the murderer now, if he can't be stopped, I'm afraid that more people will be killed next." ”

"A few Taoist heroes, please save our village. Several middle-aged men knelt on the ground, kowtowing and pleading.

"Daoxia, save us, we don't want to die, we haven't done anything bad. Shi Kang also brought a few young people to pray.

Li Zhengdao smiled mildly and said, "Don't worry, with us, we will naturally catch the murderer and return you to safety." ”

A few people got up at this time.

"The place where the murderer hid his body has been discovered, the missing people in your village and nearby villages should be here, you can find a way to dig them out yourself, we still have to find the murderer, so we can't help." "There should be no heart.

The villagers nodded again and again, obviously they hoped that Dao Xia would catch the murderer as soon as possible than digging up the corpse, otherwise the living people would also become corpses.

The five then left and returned to Guo Min's home, where the old village chief had been waiting for a long time, expressing his solemn gratitude to everyone for finding the body, and inviting a few people to live in the ancestral hall, where there was a special place to entertain people.

Li Zhengdao glanced at Sun Xiaoman, saw that the latter shook his head slightly, and refused with a smile, "My junior sister is also studying medicine, and now I want to exchange more medical experience with Brother Guo Min, so it's better to stay here." ”

Glancing at Guo Min, Shi Weng smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, but the food supply in the back, we must let us come, otherwise we will be too careless, and Guo Min's original family is not rich, so we can't neglect all the Taoists." ”

Regarding these, you should have agreed directly and unceremoniously.

"Regarding the murderer, what are the plans of the Dao Heroes, and what do you need our village to do?" Shi Weng asked with an eager face.

This is what he is most concerned about, otherwise if the murderer is not eliminated, the village will not want to be peaceful.

Li Zhengdao looked at Ying Wuxin.

Ying Wuxin thought for a moment and said: "Originally, we could use the hounds to detect the smell, but the smell of dried fish in the village, as well as the heavy rain, presumably it is useless for the hounds to come, and now we can only wait for the murderer." ”

"But this murderer is extremely cunning and comes and goes silently, and we may have to put something on the road in the village as a trigger alarm. ”

Encountering the murderer the night before, Ying Wuxin also used the wind listening technique to investigate, but except for some insect chirping and the cries of chickens and ducks in the village, nothing else could be heard, and there was no sound of the murderer moving at all, indicating that the person who was demonized by the murderer had gained some ability to move quietly, otherwise no matter how light the steps of running were, they would be heard.

And if he didn't run, just twisted his hands and feet, the murderer would have been caught up a long time ago, but the night before, everyone was divided into four ways and did not catch up, indicating that the other party was extremely fast.
