Chapter 20: Autopsy
For a while, Li Yuanzhao had a hard time making up his mind.
He felt more and more that this matter was not a simple demon subjugation, and there might be other secrets.
You need to be careful when you act in the future.
Li Yuanzhao has traveled all his life from south to north, and knows that the most difficult thing in the world is not the ever-changing demons, but the human heart.
He dealt with demons and was never scared.
On the contrary, in people, there are many heels.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yuanzhao got up lightly and turned back the same way.
After returning to the Little Ghost Sect, he didn't mention what had just happened to anyone.
It's just a pretext to take a walk.,Secretly probe the little ghost faction.,Hope to find something.。
At noon, Li Yuanzhao came to a courtyard.
The courtyard has been abandoned for a long time and is overgrown with weeds.
Even more conspicuous are the five feet high and two feet wide tombstones in the grass, with clear inscriptions and smooth textures, apparently newly erected for a few months at most.
Count them, there are more than twenty pieces in total,
"Senior Sword Weng, how did you get here?"
Liu Changping was cleaning the courtyard nearby, and when he saw Li Yuanzhao, he hurriedly threw a broom and hurried over, respectfully.
Li Yuanzhao stroked his beard, his face was not revealed, and said, "Who are the people buried in the grave?"
Hearing this question, Liu Changping's eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked up: "The seniors don't know, they are all disciples of the Little Youjiao Sect, and they are ...... He was killed by the blood ghost and buried here. ”
"Oh. ”
Li Yuanzhao nodded, thoughtful.
After a while, he said, "Can you open the coffin and let the old man examine their injuries?"
Liu Changping was stunned, "This ......"
If others have such a request, Liu Changping will definitely refuse without thinking.
As the saying goes, if you are in the ground, how can you open the coffin and disturb it?
However, the person in front of him is the sword man Li Yuanzhao, so it is another matter.
"Seniors, they were sucked up by demons, and they all became dried corpses, and they can still ...... Can you check the injury?"
Li Yuanzhao was not sure, but he didn't want to let go of any clues, "They are the earliest victims, and they may have unique traces on their bodies, so they might as well give it a try." ”
"Good!"
Liu Changping gritted his teeth, "The predecessors killed the demons to avenge the brothers, they know it, and they should also agree!"
After that, he immediately followed Li Yuanzhao's instructions and called a few young and strong disciples in the door to dig graves and dig graves.
The graves were not buried deeply, and soon they were all dug up, revealing a black coffin.
"Senior brothers, I am offended!"
Bang bang!
Everyone held swords, pried open the nails on the coffin one by one, and then opened the lid of the coffin.
Suddenly, a rancid smell came to my face, and it smelled terrible.
The dust rolled into a strange yellow smoke and drifted outward.
If you accidentally take a sip, you can spit out all the overnight meal.
After all, the disciples were young, and they didn't dare to look at it after opening the coffin, so they quickly hid far away and covered their mouths and noses.
Li Yuanzhao was much calmer, made a little trick to seal his sense of smell, temporarily closed, and then approached to check.
The coffin was full of shriveled corpses, withered and miserable.
The face is also indistinguishable, and the identity can only be identified by the name engraved on the lid of the coffin.
Li Yuanzhao was extremely patient, carefully observed one corpse, and spent an hour to examine more than 20 dried corpses.
looked at others stunned and admired.
Not to mention, Li Yuanzhao really saw something.
There is no doubt that the victims have been sucked by the demons, the difference is that some of the flesh and blood have been sucked up, leaving only skin and bones, as thin as firewood, and some still have some flesh and blood left, showing a rotting appearance.
Compared with the two, the gap is obvious.
Li Yuanzhao summoned Liu Changping and asked, "Changping, who was the first to be harmed by the Blood Ghost Great Immortal, can you remember?"
Liu Changping nodded again and again, "Naturally, I remember that it is a junior brother in the door, named Zhang Niu." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the coffin on the far left, "Senior, it's him." ”
Li Yuanzhao took a closer look, and the dried corpse in the coffin still had skin appearance, and although the flesh and blood were rotten, there was an abscess, which meant that the flesh and blood were not completely sucked up when this person was killed.
This person is also the only victim who can barely make out his face.
"Who was killed after that?" asked Li Yuanzhao.
Liu Changping did not think about it, and pointed out the names on the coffin lid to Li Yuanzhao one by one.
Sure enough, as he guessed, when this blood ghost immortal first harmed people, his strength was not very strong, and he absorbed very little flesh and blood, so the few people who were killed first were only sucked up part of the flesh and blood, and the corpse barely maintained a human form.
Each time he sucked it, the strength of the Blood Demon Great Immortal increased by one point, and more and more flesh and blood were needed.
So the later victims were all sucked dry and turned into dried corpses.
"Senior Sword Weng, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Li Yuanzhao had been frowning, Liu Changping couldn't help but ask.
Li Yuanzhao didn't explain, "Wait for the old man to investigate carefully!"
After speaking, he jumped into the coffin and jumped directly into the coffin, which startled everyone and sighed again and again.
The seniors of the Heart Dao are worthy of being the predecessors, not to mention cultivation, this courage and courage are ten times better than them!
In order to find out, Li Yuanzhao also fought hard, he stretched out his fingers, played with the corpse of "Zhang Niu", from the bottom up, carefully examined, and did not let go of any slight traces.
Luckily, summer is over and the weather is getting colder.
After a few months, the body was only slightly decomposed, so many things were still recovered.
Finally, Li Yuanzhao groped for the neck of the corpse and stopped abruptly.
"His neck was choked, probably some kind of fingering. ”
Li Yuanzhao twisted the corpse's neck, and sure enough, he found several obvious fingerprints on the left side.
Although indistinct, they are still recognizable as the fingerprints of an adult man, large and thick.
That is to say, the Blood Ghost Immortal kills people first, and then sucks flesh and blood.
After the examination, Li Yuanzhao jumped into another coffin and continued to examine the body.
One by one, until all the corpses were examined, it was already in the waning days.
The results obtained are strange.
The first few victims were all killed by a single blow, some were choked off by fingering, some were smashed skulls with a palm, and some were pierced through the heart with a sword.
The dried corpses in the back did not have any wounds, and they were all directly sucked up and died.
This coincides with what was just discovered, the Blood Ghost Immortal becomes stronger every time he sucks it, so he can forcibly suck flesh and blood without killing people later.
"Senior, what's wrong?" Liu Changping was so anxious that his face was sweating, and he didn't know what Li Yuanzhao had found.
"It's okay," Li Yuanzhao jumped out of the coffin, his face calm, "bury them." ”
"Didn't the seniors find any clues about the demons?" Liu Changping said curiously.
Li Yuanzhao shook his head, and then walked out of the courtyard without saying a word.
His discovery could not be told to anyone.
lest there be any trouble.
First of all, judging from the wounds of the first few disciples and the methods of killing, it is more like a person than a demon who killed them.
Secondly, this person's cultivation is extraordinary, far above these disciples, otherwise it would be impossible to kill him with one blow.
Finally, connect all the threads, and the answer is obvious to one person.
It's just that Li Yuanzhao can't determine.
Or rather, he wished he had guessed wrong, otherwise, the matter would have become more troublesome.
"Alas!"
After walking away, Li Yuanzhao sighed deeply, and his face full of wind and frost swords rarely showed a trace of sadness.
It is said that in the ancient years, everything has been seen through, and everything is unmoved.
In fact, if a person is not a god, it will be difficult to truly transcend it!
