One hundred and thirty-two chapters, Gu
Several people rushed to Luoyang for several days, and Ji Qingxuan, the king of Zhou Yu, rushed to the palace of King Zhou Ming non-stop.
Now hundreds of people in the palace of King Zhou Ming are placed in the courtyard, because the death method is too cruel, the whole body is charred and black, and it is unrecognizable, so it can only be quietly displayed under a white cloth.
No one dared to meddle in this matter, and only Zhao Mingcheng was ordered by Li Jiunian to guard the palace.
Zhao Mingcheng moved a wooden chair and sat at the door of the lobby, and inside the coffin behind him was the corpse of Princess Qi, the wife of King Zhou Ming.
Speaking of Princess Qi is also a well-known beauty in Luoyang, the most beautiful peony flower in Luoyang is to describe the beauty of Princess Qi, but now this peony flower is so black that she can't see her appearance, lying quietly in the coffin behind Zhao Mingcheng.
In front of Zhao Mingcheng, there were a dazzling array of corpses covered with white cloths, and there was no end in sight, like a heavy snowfall.
The palace of King Zhou Ming covers an area of 100 hectares, and the entire front yard is used to place these hundreds of corpses.
Zhao Mingcheng remembered that King Zhou Ming loved to be noisy, and often took Princess Qi to wander in the bustling city of Luoyang at night.
Zhao Mingcheng sat in the midst of a hundred corpses, he was originally the general of the Zhou Dynasty Zhenguo appointed by Li Jiunian, holding a male army to conquer the world, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood are not Erer, how can these hundreds of lying corpses make him afraid.
Looking back on the past, the corners of Zhao Mingcheng's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, the palace scheming was not what he wanted, and galloping on the battlefield was the best destination in his heart.
"It's a pity. Zhao Mingcheng muttered and shook his head slightly, the military power has been lost, and he is no longer the general of Zhenguo.
"Wang Zixuan, am I really inferior to you everywhere?" Zhao Mingcheng recalled his life in his mind, he joined the army at the age of fifteen, became a centurion in the army at the age of sixteen, was promoted at the age of seventeen, became a new general at the age of eighteen, became a new general at the age of nineteen for Li Jiu, and won the name of a general of Zhenguo at the age of twenty.
Thinking about it, Zhao Mingcheng thought of Wang Zixuan's figure again, and every detail of Wang Zixuan's body in Zhao Mingcheng's mind was much stronger than himself, which made Zhao Mingcheng get up from the chair irritably, and finally sat down helplessly.
Thinking about it, Zhao Mingcheng thought about the suspicions on the tragedy of Zhou Ming's palace, he watched Wang Zixuan rush out of the palace with his own eyes, and watched the people of the palace explode and die in front of his eyes, if Wang Zixuan was not the murderer, would the murderer leave any clues on the corpse?
He, Zhao Mingcheng, didn't believe that there would be any martial arts in the world that could kill hundreds of people in the air without leaving a trace.
Thinking like this, Zhao Mingcheng got up from the chair again and began to inspect the corpses covered with white cloth on the ground, there were many corpses and hundreds, and it would be very time-consuming to check them one by one, but fortunately, Zhao Mingcheng had time.
Under the white cloth is the corpse that has been aged for a few days, not only charred black but also beginning to decompose, when the white cloth is not opened first, there is a stench, and now when it is lifted, it is even more stinky.
Zhao Mingcheng didn't seem to ask about the disgusting smell, carefully examined the corpse in front of him, the corpse was charred and blackened as if it was burned to death, and there were many huge wounds all over the body, this way of dying was like stuffing explosives into the body and then detonating to death.
Zhao Mingcheng frowned, his eyes showed a thoughtful look, and then he stood up and walked towards the inner courtyard of the palace, searched left and right, and finally found a well covered with a wooden lid that was not deserted.
Zhao Mingcheng put down the wooden bucket and brought up a bucket of clean water, and after several inspections, he was sure that it was an ordinary bucket of well water, and no other substances were added.
Standing in the wooden bucket of money, Zhao Mingcheng squinted his eyes again and showed a thoughtful look, if he wanted to let explosives enter the body of the people in the whole mansion, the only possible thing was this well water, but now that Zhao Mingcheng checked carefully, this well water was just ordinary clear water......
Despite this, Zhao Mingcheng still felt that there could be no killing method that did not use true qi or any material as a medium, and that kind of martial arts could not exist.
So Zhao Mingcheng came to the front yard of the palace, and said loudly with a clear look: "Don't hide, I know you're still there." ”
Zhao Mingcheng's voice echoed in the empty courtyard, and there was still no movement of the corpses all over the ground, and Zhao Mingcheng didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or feel pity when he saw this.
Suddenly, the sound of wood rubbing came into Zhao Mingcheng's ears, and Zhao Mingcheng buzzed in his mind, and suddenly turned his head, just in time to see the coffin lid being pushed to the ground so heavy.
There was a bang, as if it knocked on Zhao Mingcheng's heart, Zhao Mingcheng looked into the coffin in shock, Princess Qi's charred corpse was strangely starting from the coffin, and her empty eyes were looking at him coldly.
Zhao Mingcheng's mind was buzzing again, he originally felt that since the martial arts that could kill people in the air did not exist in the world, the murderer was likely to still be in this palace, and the easiest place to hide people was naturally this corpse everywhere.
Zhao Mingcheng swallowed nervously, he tried it at random, but he didn't expect to really try the murderer.
Princess Qi's body slowly stood up from the coffin, and her voice was hoarse and she couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman: "Are you lying to me? ”
"I wanted to be safe, but now you can only become a member of this corpse everywhere. Princess Qi smiled weirdly at Zhao Mingcheng with a scorched face.
Zhao Mingcheng suddenly felt that something was turning from the bottom of his feet, he immediately jumped up, and a small hole appeared on the ground at some point, and a red Gu worm with huge pincers was looking at him pitifully.
"I see!" Zhao Mingcheng saw this worm and immediately understood what kind of method the hundreds of people above and below the princess died, it turned out that the person in front of him turned out to be a Gu master who had only appeared in rumors on the rivers and lakes.
Zhao Mingcheng glanced at the sole of his shoe, a huge pit was almost bitten through, which made Zhao Mingcheng afraid for a while, if he was slower, he was afraid that he would die violently because of being bitten by that Gu worm.
"The response is good, it looks like we can't hide any longer, but I'm going to let you lie down first. The Gu Master disguised as Princess Qi laughed strangely, and countless pits were gradually dug out of the ground, and countless bright red Gu insects fluttered out of the pits, surging towards Zhao Mingcheng.
The flapping sound of insect wings in the sky turned into a deafening buzz, and the dense Gu worms made people's scalps tingle when they looked at it, and Zhao Mingcheng also escaped from the palace immediately.
Countless Gu insects flapped their wings and quickly chased out.
Fortunately, no one walked within a few streets after the palace was destroyed, which prevented a greater disaster.
It's just that those red Gu worms are extremely fast, although Zhao Mingcheng has already launched the extreme speed, but after all, he is only forty cultivation, and he can't take off in the air, and he will almost be caught up by the Gu worms.
Zhao Mingcheng had no choice, his whole body was full of true qi and didn't want money, blocking the Gu worms in the sky.
The Gu worm quickly surrounded Zhao Mingcheng, and the giant pincers in his mouth frantically bit the true qi emitted by Zhao Mingcheng, and quickly approached Zhao Mingcheng.
Zhao Mingcheng's whole body exploded, and countless Gu worms were shaken down, and at the same time, it also gave Zhao Mingcheng a chance to escape, and he ran out of a few streets again.
But the speed of the Gu worm was too fast, and under the order of the Gu Master, it branched out to surround it, and it didn't take long for Zhao Mingcheng to surround it again.
Zhao Mingcheng didn't have much true qi left, and he could no longer be like the Gu worms that shook the sky just now, so he could only keep his true qi flowing out and keep the Gu worms out.
Not to be outdone, the Gu worm quickly gnawed on Zhao Mingcheng's true qi, pressing on Zhao Mingcheng step by step.
Soon, a Gu worm quickly approached Zhao Mingcheng through the layers of obstacles of Zhao Mingcheng's true qi.
In a moment, the Gu worm had already come to Zhao Mingcheng, and Zhao Mingcheng could even see the armor on his body and the sharp and huge mouth pincers.
At this moment, a terrifying true qi swept through, blowing away all the Gu worms around Zhao Mingcheng's body.
After that, it turned into a huge vortex in the air, gathering the Gu worms together and controlling them to the death.
"You can even gnaw on True Qi!" A cold voice with a slight anger came, Zhou Yu Wang Ji Qingxuan frowned slightly, and his white palm was clenched hard, and the desperately struggling Gu worm was pinched and crushed, and fell from the air.
Seeing this, the Gu master in the palace hurriedly took the flightless Gu worm on the ground, fled from the palace, walked to the vicinity of the downtown to take off his disguise, and disappeared into the crowd again.
Zhao Mingcheng gasped heavily, firstly because his true qi was almost exhausted, and secondly, because he walked in front of the Yama Gate, and only when the air filled his lungs could he feel alive.
"Are you okay?" Zhou Yu Wang Ji Qingxuan landed on the ground, stood beside Zhao Mingcheng and asked softly.
"It's okay, thank you Lord Yuwang for the rescue. Zhao Mingcheng stood up and saluted respectfully.
"It's a trivial matter, tell me in detail what happened?" King Zhou Yu had seen Zhao Mingcheng flee from the palace from a distance, and then he was surrounded by the Gu worms, so he rescued him.
"I found out the murderer and method of King Ming's extermination, and let it be that the murderer tried to harm me. While Zhao Mingcheng was talking, Lin Zheng and the others also arrived quickly.
"Found the murderer?" Ji Qingxuan asked, grabbing Zhao Mingcheng's arm when he heard this.
"It's a pity that he's already fled. Zhao Mingcheng said with pity on his face.
"It turns out that he really hid in the palace after killing people? Then how did he kill people? How did he kill hundreds of people in the palace in front of me without urging his true qi?" Wang Zixuan asked in surprise when he heard this.
"Gu worms. Zhao Mingcheng pointed to the mutilated insect corpses all over the ground: "The murderer is a Gu master, driving these Gu insects, as long as they are bitten by these Gu insects, they will be hit by Gu, and then life or death is all under the control of the Gu master." ”
"I see, it turned out to be a Gu master who had only appeared in the rumors of the rivers and lakes, no wonder, no wonder. The doubts were solved, and Wang Zixuan was no longer wronged, but he didn't expect that the murderer would be a Gu master who only existed in legends.
"That's right. Li Jiunian reluctantly said: "King Ming did say that there was an insect plague in the house, and I laughed at him that the food in the house was too good." ”
