It turned out that it was also next to the path in the backyard of the dust hermitage, and there was a stone the size of a millstone in the dense woods.

The scene in the cave can be described as miserable, accompanied by the smell of corpses rising to the sky, Xie Yixiang threw a fire fold downward, only then did he see the depth of the three zhang in the cave, it was actually densely stuffed with corpses, the top layer alone, there were sixty or seventy corpses overlapped; among them, there were new and old, the skin and flesh of the new corpse had just begun to decay, and the old corpse was only white bone and hair. And the top corpse, it can be seen that it is a young man, only a layer of skin wrapped in bones, according to the old nun's confession, it is the sixth son of Xu Liu, a wealthy merchant surnamed Xu in Hankou.

Under the questioning of Sister Yue, the old nun explained the details of the crime. It turned out that for every tourist who was arrested, the host would instruct the old nun to soak them in a hot bath first, stay until late at night, and then take them to the blood pool in the cave and cut the blood in their wrists with a sharp blade. Then the presiding officer pressed his hands on the man's back, and used his internal force to force all the blood in his body out, dripping from the wound on his wrist into the pool of blood. When the blood was exhausted, the old nun dragged the body out and threw it into the hole.

As for why the successive hosts of the Dust Stopping Nunnery have always used human blood to fill that blood pool, and why they must choose the person who lives with the "four fires together", the old nun does not know. She only knew that in the more than 30 years since she took over, she had assisted the two hosts in murdering nearly 200 lone tourists from other places, and before her, she didn't know how many lives were killed by the old nun or the nun from the previous one. As for the abandoned corpse cave in front of her, she couldn't tell how deep and big it was, but she remembered that the year before last, she heard the host talk about it, saying that there were only more than 1,200 corpses piled up in this cave, and she only needed to wait a few more years to be completed. It's a pity that with the death of the presiding connoisseur under Zhu Ruoyu's sword, the secret of the dust hermitage has also disappeared, and even the accomplice of the old nun doesn't know; the only hope is to see if Zhu Ruoyu has asked the truth before killing the connoisseur.

Hearing the old nun's words, Sister Yue and the others were so angry that they gritted their teeth, eager to break this kind old nun into pieces on the spot. At this moment, the disciples of the Emei Sword Sect finally drained the blood in the blood pool, and several people hurriedly went to check, only to see that the blood pool in the cave was not too deep, about two zhang deep, and there was still a few inches of blood remaining at the bottom of the pool. And in the midst of the accumulated blood, as Shang did not give up his conjecture, there was clearly a baby boy corpse, and I don't know how long he had been soaked in this blood pool, but the skin and flesh all over his body were intact, as if he was a baby who had just died.

Although Xie Yixiang is used to seeing corpses, she is just a little girl in the end, and she is also horrified when she sees such a strange baby corpse. On closer inspection, the baby's corpse's face was wrinkled, and according to the trend of the wrinkles, it seemed to be smiling, and he suddenly felt cold. The other people present were also dumbfounded, and they couldn't guess why the successive hosts of the Zhichen Nunnery put a baby's corpse into this pool of blood, could it be that the baby's corpse was actually a living thing, or some kind of demon, so it had to be soaked in human blood?

Of course, it is also possible that this is indeed just an ordinary infant corpse, and the reason why the Dust Stopping Nunnery is doing this is to practice some kind of evil art, or some strange ritual of the Demon Sect. At that moment, everyone looked at Shang Bu at the same time, since he could guess in advance that there was a baby corpse under the blood pool, he naturally knew something about it. Who knows that Shang still refuses to reveal the slightest hint of his tone, and says to himself: "Look at what I do? Although I am the number one god in the world throughout the ages, I am not good at such gods and ghosts. ”

At that moment, everyone brought the old nun over again and asked her about the origin of the baby's corpse, and the old nun was also frightened, apparently seeing the contents of the blood pool for the first time. Feng Ruo, the deputy head of the Emei Sword Sect, saw that she was useless anymore, and in a fit of anger, he almost killed the old nun on the spot, but in the end, it was Sister Yue who came forward to dissuade her, saying that she would hand over the old nun to the government for conviction, and everyone in the Emei Sword Sect saw Zhu Ruoyu nodding, so they spared the old nun's life and handed her over to Sister Yue for disposal. Sister Yue summoned her companions and asked them to take the first step and bring the old nun to the Yamen of Emeishan Town at the foot of the mountain.

At this point, the case is completely closed, and all that remains is how to deal with the aftermath. The people of the Emei Sword Sect discussed it, but they didn't dare to go down to the blood pool to touch the baby's corpse, so they found two bamboo poles, grabbed the baby's body from the drained blood pool, and put it on the ground at the mouth of the cave. With the help of the light of day, everyone could see clearly that it was indeed just an ordinary baby boy corpse, only about six or seven months old, except that it was covered in blood, it was no different from an ordinary baby corpse.

The only curiosity is that the baby's body is well preserved, it looks like a baby who has just died, but according to the actions of the dust hermitage, this blood pool is only afraid that it is hundreds of years old, if the existence of the blood pool is to soak the baby's corpse, then the corpse should be some years old, and it should not be so "fresh".

Monk Hai Niantan and Monk Hai Chengzong of Lingyun Mountain also came to check on the baby's corpse at this time, and they were as frightened as everyone else, and Monk Hai Niantan immediately said: "Amitabha, according to the old man, this baby's corpse must be an evil thing. Even if it was originally just an ordinary baby corpse, after soaking in this pool of blood for a long time, it had already been conceived into an evil thing. When everyone heard him say this, they remembered that there were still senior monks of Lingyun Temple present, and hurriedly asked Monk Hai Niantan for advice, who knew that this monk Hai Niantan was hesitant for a long time, and he still didn't know what to ask, and said a lot of plausible nonsense. However, although his apprentice monk Hai Chengzong is not very old, he has some unique opinions, and said: "Even if this baby corpse is really an evil thing, I am afraid that it has not yet taken shape. ”

Xie Yixiang suddenly remembered that the old nun had just mentioned that the presiding connoisseur of the Zhichen Nunnery had said to her, "In a few years, it will be done", could it mean the corpse of this baby? We can assume that this baby's corpse is indeed an evil thing, and it must be soaked in the hearts of the 'four fires together', or even 'fed', according to this speculation, if this evil thing has been cultivated, it will naturally no longer need human blood, and even it is no longer in this blood pool, and the masters of the dust hermitage do not have to continue to murder tourists. Therefore, the evil deeds of the dust hermitage have not stopped now, and it can be seen that this evil thing has not yet been cultivated. ”

Hearing Monk Hai Chengzong's opinion, everyone present nodded, and asked Monk Hai Chengzong how to deal with the baby's corpse. Seeing that everyone was convinced of their guesses, Monk Hai Chengzong couldn't help but smile awkwardly and said, "The little monk is young and ignorant, but it's just a blind guess, and he doesn't dare to say anything. However, I, the Lingyun monk, have always believed in 'killing to help the world', that is, to take the lead in destroying all evil causes before the evil consequences occur, and for this reason, I will not hesitate to fall into hell, and I have no regrets. At present, this baby corpse and no matter what kind of evil thing it is, since it is just a stinky skin, according to the little monk, it is better to burn it to ashes with a fire, so as not to cause any evil consequences later. His master, the monk Hai Chengzong, also agreed with this statement, and hurriedly said: "Yes! Such an evil thing, it is best to burn it." ”

Everyone also agreed with Ling Yun Monk's suggestion, and even if Feng Ruoyu asked Zhu Ruoyu, he asked the head of the house to give an order. Who knew that Zhu Ruoyu groaned for a while, looked at the baby corpse on the ground at the entrance of the cave, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Since the serial disappearance case on Mount Emei has been investigated, then the next thing is to hand over to me Emei Sword Sect." This female catcher, I have just handed over the accomplice of this case to you, and you can also bring back the body of the main culprit Jianxin, and I will personally repair a book afterwards, and ask the Jiazhou Mansion Yin to commend you for this merit. As for this baby corpse, it is not appropriate to burn it, so it is up to my Emei Sword Sect to find a good place and put it in the ground. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, Xie Yixiang and the others couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing what this Zhu Ruoyu wanted to do; even the Emei Sword Sect's Feng Ruofu, the official Ruoru and the six sword envoys were also a little surprised. Sister Yue blurted out even more: "This ...... I'm afraid this is not suitable......" As soon as she spoke, Zhu Ruoyu suddenly shouted and asked, "Could it be that you can't trust me Zhu?"
