Chapter 32: The Biggest Suspect
"Xiaolan, Baizhu, come here!"
Fengchen put away his secret technique, called a few of them over, and said to Hao Kang: "Since this is the case, then, you can fulfill the promise just now." ”
"This ......" Hao Kang lowered his head and looked at the few people in front of him with some hesitation.
Fengchen looked at him who didn't react for a long time, and stepped forward and said, "I think you are also an arrogant person, so it must be too embarrassing for you to kneel down and admit your mistakes." I'll give you other options, you can compensate them for two thousand spirit stones, or give each of them a magic weapon. How?"
When Hao Kang heard this, he knelt down with a "poof" and said to Xiaolan Baizhu, "Grandma...... Grandfather...... I was wrong. ”
The two of them looked at Hao Kang and were stunned for a moment, and the fat and thin disciples were also stunned. Including Fengchen, he didn't expect it.
"Okay, right?" Hao Kang glanced at them with a flushed face.
"Get up, get up. Xiao Lan raised her hand and said.
Hao Kang lowered his head and said to the few people in front of him: "You are absolutely not allowed to tell anyone else about this matter!"
"Well, good. Xiaolan nodded, and Bai Zhu turned his head to ignore him.
"Don't worry, young master!" the fat and thin disciples replied in a serious tone, actually snickering.
Fengchen walked up to him and said, "Hao Kang, I want to ask you, why did you do it to them just now?"
Hao Kang snorted coldly: "When I was training outside before, in a remote place, I met an evil cultivator, he killed other cultivators, and then manipulated their corpses with some secret technique. These corpses are called dead corpses by the locals, and they have the cultivation of the cultivators during their lifetime, and they kill people when they see them. When I saw this man named Bai Zhu, I thought he was a corpse. ”
Have a lifetime cultivation?
Fengchen was a little surprised for a moment. He had heard of people manipulating corpses, but it was unheard of that he could maintain his pre-mortem cultivation.
"Then why do you want to kill Xiaolan?"
"Who told her to stop me? And I'm just talking, not really killing her. ”
Fengchen listened to Hao Kang's words, and felt that this person was not a bad person, and he had no intention of embarrassing him again. He called Hao Kang aside and explained the situation of Bai Zhu's fake death. and told him not to reveal the matter for the time being.
Hao Kang nodded in agreement.
"Since it's all a misunderstanding, then we don't have to do the well water in the future, so let's do what we should do. Fengchen said.
"Okay, you four, find a place to live with me, and go back to the Withered Cicada Dao Sect tomorrow. Hao Kang said to the four of them.
"Wait. Fengchen stopped them.
"What?" Hao Kang was a little puzzled.
"The four of them, they can't go with you yet. ”
Hao Kang frowned and said, "These are all people from our sect, isn't it natural for me to go back?"
"For the investigation of the people in the Demon Dao, I need the cooperation of your sect disciples. No one is missing, your other disciples have already arrived in our sect, and the three of you have seen it too. Fengchen and the person who came out to bury Bai Zhu looked at each other.
"That's right. ”
Fengchen didn't reveal the Gu worm to them. Although he felt that it was possible that Xue Ming had made a mistake, he still couldn't completely rule out that the person in the Demon Dao who had killed more than a hundred people was between them.
Hao Kang nodded and said, "In that case, then take me with you, I don't have a place to live anyway." ”
"Sect Master, didn't you say that we are not allowed to go in when the time comes. The fat disciple said.
"I didn't say let you in, I just said don't rush back. You'd better find a place to sleep outside. There are very few rooms in our sect, and it is estimated that your disciples will have no place to sleep when they come to us. ”
Hao Kang shook his head and said, "Then in your sect, it is better than sleeping in the open air." ”
Fengchen refused and said, "No, no, our sect will not allow you to enter at this time." ”
"Then you can go in?" Hao Kang looked dissatisfied.
"I'm the sect master, can't I have some privileges?" Fengchen said with a smile, "If you can't find a shop, there is an abandoned temple not far from here, which can shelter from the wind and rain, you can go there." ”
Hao Kang was quite reluctant, but the other four didn't care.
After Fengchen finished talking with them, he went back to the sect by himself. It's not that he can't bring these people back, but he doesn't want to, in case that the murderous demon is between them, it will be extremely dangerous to take them back.
After going back, Fengchen saw that Xue Ming's room was still lit, so he went to visit her and told her about the situation.
Xue Ming yawned, leaned on the table and held her face and said, "I actually killed a Hao Kang halfway and messed up our plan." ”
"Next, that guy, I'm afraid he won't expose himself easily. ”
"Fengchen, in fact, we don't necessarily need to see it with our own eyes, we can rely on other methods to speculate. ”
"How can you speculate?"
"Just now, I asked a few disciples of the Withered Cicada Dao Sect to inquire. They told me that they had two disciples who were killed by the villains when they were borrowing spirit stones because they had revealed their existence to other sects. ”
"That's right, this, Bai Zhu also told me before, it's the one-eyed disciple. ”
"I asked them who the disciples were who were there at the time. As a result, only the one named Xiaolan was present both times. Moreover, Xiaolan is a newly recruited disciple, and the murder incident happened during a period of time after they entered the Withered Cicada Dao Sect. ”
"You mean, when Xiaolan saw that they were informing, she killed them as a warning. Moreover, she took the opportunity of the Withered Cicada Dao Sect to recruit new disciples and deliberately blended in?"
"Quite possibly. In addition, I asked them who Bai Zhu had physical contact with after revealing the murder to us. They told me that Xiaolan was the only one. I told you that there must be physical contact with a decapitated head Gu or even a soul attracting Gu. ”
Feng Chen frowned and said, "However, Xiaolan's cultivation seems to be very weak, and her relationship with Bai Zhu is really very good, I saw it with my own eyes, just now she even did not hesitate to die with him." ”
Xue Ming shook her head and said: "Fengchen, strength can be hidden, the relationship is intimate, or it can be pretended." Do you think that a cold-blooded murderous demon can't do anything? And they haven't been on the mountain for a long time, and they haven't experienced any life and death events together, how can they have such a deep relationship? Perhaps, she is using this kind of emotion to hide her cold-blooded and ruthless heart. ”
"This ......" Fengchen was a little powerless to refute for a while.
Xue Ming sighed and said, "People, no matter at all times, are selfish and self-interested. How can one person die for another?"
