Chapter 3: Tongue pulling
But these people don't know one thing, the current Ji Xiao is not the previous Ji Yu.
The people of the entire Sifang City got rid of the city lord, and the sum was not enough for the current Ji Yu to pinch it with one hand. Ji Yu stepped into the Heavenly Immortal Realm, although his supernatural powers had not yet recovered, his life form was almost completely different from that of ordinary people, even if the difference between that Quartet City Lord and him, in terms of the evolution of life, was greater than that of humans and apes.
But Ji Yu is still patient, firstly, he doesn't want to expose himself for the time being, and secondly, he wants to see if he can get some information about the Demon Realm from these people.
The memory of the original owner of the body is really monotonous, and there is not much useful information at all.
Ji Xiao didn't need to ask at all, he didn't even open his eyes, he was silent at the banquet, rarely talking, and the memories of these people were displayed in his sea of spiritual consciousness like a blank sheet of paper.
This is the heart of Buddhism, after Ji Xiao cultivated the wordless scripture, he naturally entered the door, peeking into the minds of these mortals, just like eating and drinking.
Really let him find something useful, there is a person here who is a believer and believes in a god, and Ji Xiao was a little surprised that the image of that god was actually a human head and a snake body, the same as Ji Xiao's physical body in the mountain and sea realm.
The name of this deity is "Hao".
However, this believer himself is not sure whether "Hao" exists, he followed the belief because one of his beautiful concubines believed in "Hao".
The banquet was in full swing, and Ji Xiao's heart throbbed.
It's a whim.
At his point, there is no need to calculate, he will have a premonition in advance about the upcoming blessings and disasters, and if he has no premonition, he is generally targeted.
There's not much anyone to target him now.
He concentrated slightly, and the scene of fire in his heart floated.
It is estimated that there will be a while before it happens.
Ji Xiao raised his glass and said, "Everyone, I don't have enough wine, and after drinking this glass, I will miss it, don't blame me." ”
Everyone said it was okay.
Master Huang is used to being a man, so he took the initiative to propose that everyone send Ji Xiao downstairs together.
As soon as he got off the restaurant, Master Huang was calling a carriage when suddenly there was an explosion. The splendid Wanfu Building was lit up in a blink of an eye.
Suddenly there was an accident, and everyone was afraid, thinking to themselves that if they hadn't sent Ji Yu downstairs, they would have been killed in the fire.
Next, Master Huang naturally sent someone to deal with it, the fire in Wanfu Building was not accidental, if there was no accident, Master Huang would have to investigate it to the end.
Ji Xiao said goodbye early and returned to his manor.
...
...
Late at night, meditate.
From time to time, Ji Xiao appeared in the picture of the sea of fire.
It's just that he has a keen sense of energy, and he always feels that the fire is related to the cold corpse he saw before.
But what's the connection, he can't make a decision for a while.
has been so calm for many days, Ji Xiao's magical powers are increasing day by day, and he can't see much change on the outside, but in fact, the inside has already turned upside down.
But he hadn't condensed the primordial god again, because he sensed that there was a rule force in the underworld, suppressing him to condense the primordial god.
It seems that it is not in Qingxuan's time and space, and it is really difficult to cultivate the Yuan Shen.
However, if he can't practice the Yuan Shen, there is not much hindrance to him now. The realm has arrived, the supernatural power has arrived, and the gap between him and the past in terms of ability will only decrease with time.
At least that Sifang City Lord can't pose any threat to him now.
Ji Xiao thought that he was going to live a peaceful life, but he didn't expect that on this day, Master Huang came to the door again.
...
...
"Master Huang asked me to prescribe medicine to calm my mind?" asked Ji Yu.
Master Huang said: "Exactly." ”
Ji Xiao said: "I think you have a heart disease, and it is useless to use medicine." ”
Master Huang was surprised: "Son, you haven't checked my pulse yet, how do you know that I have a heart disease." ”
He was embarrassed to say that Ji Xiao obviously couldn't see it, so he didn't know that he had something wrong with his heart.
Ji Xiao smiled and said, "If I don't have any ability, how can I be called the miracle doctor of Sifang City." Master Huang, you still have to talk about the root of your illness, otherwise I don't know how to help you. ”
Master Huang sighed and said, "Childe, still remember Master Chen who had dinner with us in Wanfu Mansion that day?"
Ji Xiao said: "Master Chen Ziyuan Chen, of course I remember, he is in the grain and oil business, his family is rich, and he is in the prime of life, he has a beautiful wife and concubine, and he lives happily." ”
Master Huang said: "It's not, but just the day before yesterday, their family died." walked neatly and neatly, from the old man in the sixtieth armor to the yellow-mouthed widow, none of them survived. ”
Ji Xiao said: "This is a monstrous case of destroying the door, I haven't been in the city recently, but I haven't heard of it." ”
Master Huang said: "I can't hide it, I took the initiative to teach people to keep their mouths shut about this matter, and they are not allowed to leak it." Therefore, it is currently spreading only in small areas. ”
Ji Yu said: "So, there is another secret in this matter?"
Master Huang said: "Yes, I know that Gongzi is a strange person, if you are interested, I can take you to Chen's house to see the scene of the crime." ”
Ji Xiao actually knew some details from Master Huang's heart, but he found it even more interesting, so he decided to go to the scene of this tragedy.
...
...
Chen's house, inside the lobby.
Sixty-seven corpses were neatly placed inside, each with a common feature, that is, a tongue cut out.
Ji Xiao walked around the corpses placed on the table, and said to Master Huang, "Everyone in the Chen family is here?"
Master Huang said, "Yes." ”
Ji Xiao said quietly: "Master Huang, you lied, there is one less person here." ”
Master Huang's expression changed.
Ji Xiao said: "Master Chen's family has a beautiful concubine, and I have heard of it, but I am afraid that none of the female corpses placed here can be worthy of the words 'famous and famous'." ”
Master Huang couldn't help but say, "Childe, let me take the liberty of asking?"
Ji Xiao smiled and said, "Master Huang wants to say that I obviously can't see with my eyes, how can I be sharper than the eyes of people who can see." ”
Master Huang nodded.
Ji Xiao continued: "Master Huang also knows that I am a strange person, so Ji Xiao naturally has other ways to replace his eyes, as for what way, I think Master Huang is not going to get to the bottom of it." ”
Master Huang said: "I understand, but I am presumptuous. Did Childe find any clues?"
Ji Xiao said: "Although Master Chen's family is the only one who is not here, and it is inferred from common sense that the murderer should be the beautiful concubine, but I secretly think that the murderer is not her." ”
Master Huang said, "How can you see it?"
Ji Xiao said: "Because that beautiful concubine is still in the courtyard." ”
...
...
Under a plum tree, four officials are digging into the ground with hoes.
The ground under the plum trees was very solid and level, and although these officials were quite strong, they also sweated profusely, and only dug a pit half a foot deep.
"My lord, there's a stone slab down there. ”
A servant said.
The slab was removed to reveal a hole underneath a secret room.
