Chapter 47: The Unexpected Seven

Who knew that Lin Nan let out an "oops" and said, "Brother Gu, you ...... You've got a lot of hands......"

I was stunned, quickly let go of my hand, and then smiled: "I'm sorry, Brother Lin, it's rude." Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info I don't know where the Golden Flower Thief is now?"

That's what I want to know the most, and I have a lot of questions in my mind that need to be answered by that person.

Lin Nan rubbed his arm, glared at me, and said, "It's dead!"

"Dead?!"

I exclaimed, "How did you die?"

Lin Nan said: "I don't know about this, General Zuo is leading people to conduct an autopsy in the morgue, and there is no news yet." ”

I said, "Only now?"

Lin Nan said: "What's strange about this, that guy went out of the city a few days ago to do errands, and only came back today." ”

I thought about it, got up and got out of bed, picked up the shadow chasing sword from the table, and said, "Brother Lin, let's go, follow me to see the Golden Flower Thief." ”

Lin Nan nodded and said, "Okay!"

The county government mortuary is not located in the county office, but is located not far from the county office, and is guarded by a special person. The morgue room is some distance from Zuofu, and Lin Nan and I walked for about a pillar of incense before arriving at the mortuary.

There were two soldiers guarding outside the morgue, probably General Zuo had ordered, and maybe these two soldiers knew about me and Lin Nan, so when we entered the morgue, the two soldiers did not stop us.

When we came to the backyard of the corpse, General Zuo and Huang Zhutou were talking to a few people, and when they saw us coming, General Zuo smiled and said, "Shadow Chasing Hero, are you awake?"

Huang Zhutou's face was a little ugly, and he hugged his fist at us, and I saluted back and said, "My body is fine, thank you for your concern." General Zuo, is the body of the Golden Flower Thief in the room?"

Behind General Zuo and behind them was a dilapidated old house with no windows and only a vermilion wooden door that had fallen into disrepair and had turned white. It was pitch black inside the wooden door, and nothing could be seen.

General Zuo nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I just finished the autopsy, and Huang Zhutou and I are looking at the autopsy transcript." ”

Behind General Zuo stood two people, an official wearing a gauze hat on his head and a pen and paper in his hand, and a middle-aged man with his head tied up and his hands inserted into his sleeves.

I hugged my fists and said, "General Zuo, I wonder if I can let you go down and take a look at the thief?"

General Zuo smiled: "What's wrong with that, you caught all the people, just go and see the young man." ”

I was invited by him to catch the thief, this time the thief was caught, Lin Nan said that the magistrate would reward me heavily, and he was naturally very happy if he thought that General Zuo would also be rewarded. But he didn't know that the thief was not killed by me, and that although I caught up with the thief, I almost lost my life.

I smiled bitterly, didn't say anything more, and walked into the room with Lin Nan, and General Zuo and the others also walked in.

As soon as I walked into the mortuary, I only felt that the temperature had dropped a lot, and an unpleasant smell of medicine came to my nose, I couldn't help frowning, and Lin Nan quickly covered his mouth. The servant took an oil lamp and snatched it from the back to the front to illuminate the mortuary. In the corner of the morgue, I saw a corpse lying on a wooden bed, covered with a white cloth. A long-handled iron hook hung from the roof beam, dangling over the corpse.

Even though it was broad daylight and the sky was high and the sun was high, I couldn't help but shudder when I saw this corpse.

We went to the corpse and hung the oil lamp in our hand on the iron hook above the corpse, and the surrounding area of the corpse was illuminated. He shook the corpse again, and then lifted the white cloth to reveal a corpse.

The corpse was covered in dirt.

The corpse's face was blue, his hair was scattered, his eyes seemed to be closed, his bloodless lips seemed to be open, the cyan blood vessels on his arms were clearly visible, and the red threads around the cyan veins were intertwined and varied, there was a purple-black five-finger mark on his chest, and there was a bone scar on his left arm.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this man was still alive that night, but I didn't expect that when I saw him again, he was already a corpse.

At this time, General Zuo said: "Please look at the shadow chasing young man, this is the golden flower thief you killed." Tsk, Shaoxia is really good kung fu, Zuo really didn't see the wrong person......"

I smiled reluctantly, they didn't know, if someone hadn't come to the rescue in the end, I'm afraid that the person lying on this wooden bed now would be me.

The sword mark on the corpse's left arm was cut by me, and the five-finger palm print on his chest must have been left by the last person to appear. But who was this man, and why did he come to the rescue?

The only thing I know now is that the man who died was not the Golden Flower Thief, because when I told him that night that he was not the Golden Flower Thief, he didn't deny it. He's not a thief of gold, but he's using a golden dart, what's going on? And who is he?

At this time, General Zuo continued: "This thief is so rampant, he was stripped of his skin by Shaoxia, he deserves it, if it were me, he would definitely be stripped off all the skin of his body." ”

I was stunned and said, "General Zuo, how do you say this?"

General Zuo was also stunned, and said with a smile: "The shadow chasing young man has been in a coma for a few days, and he probably forgot the scene when you took off the skin on the back of that person, in fact, it's right, the shadow chasing young man wants to kill this person, and he will definitely not care about these ......"

I was shocked, and said to the man, "Turn this corpse over and let me see it." ”

General Zuo and Huang Zhutou were both stunned, looking at me a little inexplicable.

The servant nodded, and together with one of them, turned the corpse over, revealing the corpse's skinless back.

I looked intently, and the skin on the back of the corpse had indeed disappeared, and it looked like it was not like a knife cut, but as if it had been torn off by life.

I had a cold sweat on my back, and there were already bones on the back of the corpse, so I was afraid that even the muscles and flesh would be stripped away.

So ruthless!

I thought about it for a while, and then said, "Tuantou, this thief died from this palm in the chest, there's nothing wrong, right?"

The pretend said: "Back to Shaoxia, exactly." The young man's palm shattered all the bones in the man's chest and shattered the thief's heart. ”

I felt a pang in my heart, that man was really ruthless. People are killed, and the skin of this person has to be ripped off, which is a bit cruel. However, is it because of me, or is it because of this "Golden Flower Thief"? If it were because of me, then that person must know me, and I am afraid that I also know him; if it was simply for wealth, I would have only had the Shadow Chasing Sword and the Heavenly Opening Skill on my body, which were the most precious things, but the man clearly did not take them. If it's because of this thief, then I can't guess.

I crossed my arms and looked at the corpse, and my mind was a little messy for a while.

......

Back in the Zuofu wing, Baili Tu was already waiting in the room, and when he saw me and Lin Nan coming in, he smiled and said, "Brother Gu, where have you been? ”

We sat down around the table, and Lin Nan said, "Brother Gu and I went to the morgue room to see the golden flower thief." ”

Baili Tu smiled: "I see, I thought you went to the pharmacy, and I went to the pharmacy to find you." Brother Gu, are you feeling better?"

Baili disciple is a hearty person, there is always such a stubborn energy in his bones, Lin Nan and I know that he is kind-hearted, but he is born strong and abnormal, and his smile always gives me a simple feeling.

I couldn't help but smile and said, "Thank you Brother Baili for your concern, my body is much better." ”

This time because of the blessing of misfortune, originally I have been suffering from the consumption of qi in my body too fast, and I can't find the luck meridian method when cultivating internal strength, but now I have inadvertently obtained the qi meridian route of opening the heavenly power, and solved the mystery of the seven villain drawings that disappeared on the open heaven scroll, which really surprised me. Those seven villains must have been an extremely magical elixir, but they were kept in the form of pictures on the Open Heaven Scroll.

At first, I had some speculations in my mind, but I didn't dare to think that this kind of thing was too unbelievable, and it would only happen in folklore. However, after seeing the Wudang Sect's Seven Turns Soul Restoration Pill and the Ten Thousand Corpse Gate's Pill Powder, as well as the Pill Gift from the woman in black, I no longer think that this kind of thing is just a rumor. Even now I'm starting to have a hint of skepticism about the daylift.

I felt the air flow in my body as I breathed through my limbs, and I felt a thrill in my heart. In the future, I can not only practice qi when I am breathing, but also when I am ordinary, I can practice internal strength as I like, and as long as I am still breathing, that qi will not stop.

At this time, the voice of Huang Zhutou sounded outside the room: "Brother Shadow Chaser, are you inside?"

I said, "Huang Zhutou, come in and talk about something." ”

As soon as the words fell, the wooden door was pushed open, and Huang Zhutou leaned in with half of his body, and paused when he saw us, as if he was hesitating.

I said, "Huang Zhutou, come in and sit, you're welcome." ”

Huang Zhutou squeezed out a smile on his face, sat down at the table, looked at me, and then at Bailitu and Lin Nan, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

I saw that his eyes were a little restrained, so I smiled and said: "Huang Zhutou, if there is anything, it doesn't matter, these two are brothers below, Huang Zhutou doesn't have to shy away from it." ”

Huang Zhutou hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, suddenly stood up again, hugged his fists at me and said: "Shadow Chasing Young Man, please return the Eight Treasures Exquisite Coral to you, so that I can go back to Lord Zhizhou to regain my sight!"

I was stunned and said, "What does Huang Zhutou mean?"

Huang Zhutou shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Brother Chasing Shadow, this thing is Lord Zhizhou's favorite treasure, if you can't bring it back below, you will be shameless to return to Chenzhou City, please don't be embarrassed Brother Chasing Shadow." ”

I was a little confused, and said, "Huang Zhutou, can you make your words clearer?"

Bailitu and Lin Nan were also confused, looked at me, and then looked at Huang Zhutou.

Huang Zhutou's face was ugly, and he said: "Why did Brother Shadow ask knowingly, the Golden Flower Thief stole the Eight Treasures Exquisite Coral of the Prefect, but when we found you and the thief, the Eight Treasures Exquisite Coral was not on the thief......

I suddenly realized that Huang Zhutou must have thought that I had taken the treasure of Chenzhou Zhizhou!

No wonder when I saw Huang Zhutou for the first time today, he looked at me a little awkwardly, and his face was not good-looking. He must have thought that I had caught the Golden Flower Thief, and that I had hidden the Eight Treasures of Exquisite Coral. The magistrate of Yongxing County and the defender General Zuo are also on the rise because of this matter, and I have become the focus of everyone's attention.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Huang Zhutou misunderstood, he didn't take the treasures of Chenzhou Zhizhou. ”

Huang Zhutou smiled bitterly again, and said: "Why should the shadow chasing young man be so embarrassed, I know that my martial arts are not as good as you, but in order to find the eight treasures of exquisite coral, I will fight it together." ”

His face slowly cooled as he spoke, as if he was about to engage in a fight with me, his eyes staring straight at me.

Baili Tu cast a questioning glance at me, but Lin Nan dragged his chin and looked at the water in the teacup without saying a word.

I immediately shook my head and smiled, no longer hidden, and said, "I didn't kill the Golden Flower Thief. ”
