This chapter is an update of the ID leaf

Chu Hong and the others followed Li Ji to the Yizhuang in the south of the town, Chu Hong looked at this Yizhuang carefully, and it was obviously newly built. The surrounding area is protected by a formation to prevent demon beasts and other monks from entering. There are also two outer disciples guarding Yizhuang.

Li Ji took out the token and handed it to the disciple who guarded it,

"Everyone, please!"

After confirming his identity, Li Ji led everyone into Yizhuang.

"Senior Brother Chu, this is the corpse of those seven dead disciples, take a look!"

Chu Hong saw the seven coffins that were laid out in Yizhuang, and immediately stepped forward to open the coffins to check in turn, the corpses were well protected and there was no sign of decay. Each corpse did not have any wounds on its body, and there were no signs of poisoning, and the body of a female cultivator was also examined by Wu Li's help.

Chu Hong and the others checked one after another, but there were no clues.

At this time, Duan Kaishan looked at the only female corpse suspiciously, but he didn't make a sound.

Chu Hong noticed Duan Kaishan's expression, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Senior Brother Duan, what did you find?"

Duan Kaishan saw Chu Hong asking him, shook his head and said

"I didn't find anything, but I know this female corpse, she is a disciple of the outer gate, nicknamed Ice Girl. has been practicing in the outer gate for many years, although her qualifications are not very good, but she has never laughed in the outer gate in the past few years, so she has earned the nickname of the ice girl. But if you look at her corpse, her corpse is actually laughing? That's why I'm a little confused. ”

Chu Hong listened to Duan Kaishan's words, and hurriedly walked over to take a closer look at the female corpse, this female corpse was indeed smiling, and it was a natural smile, not because the corpse had been parked for too long and the corpse was deformed. Then he hurriedly looked at the other six corpses, and he found that each corpse had a little expression, not the kind of face that died of natural causes.

Some of these corpses were as smiling as the Ice Girl, some were slightly frightened, and some were sad. But without exception, they all have extremely natural expressions.

"Senior brothers, when do you think people will have such heartfelt expressions?"

Hu Weiwei asked suspiciously.

"This is too weird, isn't it?

"It's a dream! It is only when people dream that they have a variety of expressions from the heart. All of them were killed in their dreams. ”

Chu Hong suddenly remembered his trick, which was to use the divine sense of the sea to pull the person's divine soul into that illusory space, and then kill that person inside. He himself was killed.

And these seven people, apparently, also fell for the same or similar tricks, and then were killed.

Or that these people did not die physically, but only had no soul, or that their souls were destroyed.

"In a dream, how can you kill in a dream? I haven't heard of a person who can kill in a dream!"

Li Ji was also a little unconvinced.

"Someone can do it! And I've seen it. ”

At this time, Cui Jun, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected.

"Oh, please tell me more about it. Chu Hong and the others immediately came to their senses.

"Let's go back and talk, this is not the place to talk. Cui Jun's face was a little ugly, and he looked around and said.

"Yes, let's go back and talk about it. Chu Hong also realized that this was indeed not a good place, and several people hurriedly covered the coffin. Then he went back to the town guard's house.

On the town guard mansion, Cui Jun invited a few people to sit down, and then said

"That was three years ago, and I was still in the outer door. My home is in a distant city, the Heavenly Soul Mansion! Once I went out to go home to save my family. On the way, I met an evil cultivator, who was both righteous and evil, and he was crazy. But if it wasn't for him, we would all have to die.

On my way home that time, due to the long distance, I spent the night in a ruined temple one night, and it turned out to be a coincidental fact that it rained heavily that night, and about a dozen people stayed overnight in the ruined temple to take shelter from the rain.

As a result, someone woke me up that night, and when I woke up, I saw that it was the crazy man. He dragged me behind the statue of the ruined temple. Then I saw that the people in the ruined temple suddenly began to laugh, cry, mourn, or relax all kinds of expressions. Then he walked out into the rain outside.

At that time, he and I were so frightened that we finally stopped at dawn and rainy night. The two of us hurried out of the ruined temple and prepared to hurry. I saw a man in black sucking the brains of the group of people from last night one by one, and those people still maintained their expressions from last night.

I was so frightened that the man suddenly rushed up like crazy, and slashed the head of the man in black while he was sucking on the brains of the man. Then he laughed maniacally, and walked away with the head of the man in black.

And after the man died, those people stopped all kinds of expressions and fainted to the ground. Although I was afraid, when I saw that the men were not dead, I woke them up one by one. As a result, they don't know what they're doing at all, they just know they're dreaming. And stuck in a hit and can't wake up. ”

"So I guess this time there are people who do the same way to make them unwilling to wake up in their dreams and know about death?"

Cui Jun finished talking about what he had encountered, combined with the current situation. A relatively accurate guess is given!

"Yes, it's very likely!"

"Senior Brother Li, is there any way for you to thoroughly investigate where the people in the town are from, or confirm their identities?" Chu Hong asked.

Although this Python Mountain is in a barren mountain range, because it is too close to Jiuyuan Mountain, there are generally no outsiders who come here to venture here. So most of the people here know each other. All we have to do is investigate the strange faces. Li Ji replied.

"Okay, let's go to the street now, divide into several groups, and you also arrange for people to go to the street to check those outsiders you don't know. Remember not to alarm the other person if you find something, let's focus on it before we do it. Everything is done to ensure their own safety. Chu Hong finally decided.

After speaking, several people divided into several groups, each with two disciples who had been stationed in the local area for several years, and began to secretly explore the row.

However, although the town is small, there are thousands of people. Where is it so easy to check? A few people tossed around until the evening, but they didn't find out why.

In this way, everyone searched for three days in a row, but there was still no result.

The next morning, it was still dark. Li Ji called Chu Hong and the others with an ugly face.

"Last night, the murderer committed the crime again, and another disciple was killed, this time it was a disciple of Xuanyin Peak, who just came out of Python Mountain yesterday afternoon. I'm going to rest for the night and go back to the sect. ”

"What, my disciple of Xuanyin Peak, take me to see it!" As soon as Wu Li heard that it was a female disciple of Xuanyin Peak, he immediately became anxious. Hurriedly asked to go to the scene to check.

"Okay, I was resting in the town guard mansion last night, everyone come with me. ”

Li Ji took everyone directly to the room of the Xuanyin Peak disciple.

When everyone arrived, there were disciples preparing to clean the courtyard. In one corner of the courtyard, a servant was using a shovel to fill a pile of earth into a small hole.

"Wait!" Chu Hong hurriedly stopped the servant and walked over.

"What's going on with this hole?"

"I don't know, I didn't have it yesterday, I just found it this morning, adults don't have to worry, it should be some little demon beast dug up. It's no big deal!"

The servant replied honestly.

"Little monsters, are there often little monsters in the town?"

Chu Hong seemed to have grasped some clue and hurriedly asked.

"Well, my family has lived here for decades, and I do often see all kinds of little monsters, some of them ran out of Python Mountain by themselves, and some of them were caught and sold. ”

The servant's words made Chu Hong instantly grasp the point.

"When this disciple came yesterday, did he bring any little demon beasts with him?"

Chu Hong hurriedly grabbed the servant and asked.

"My lord, I don't know about this, I didn't take her through the formalities yesterday. The servant was almost scared to death by Chu Hong, and stammered!

"Chu Hong. Did you notice anything?"

Chu Hong casually threw the servant a spirit stone the size of a fingernail, and sent him away with the servant's thousand thanks.

"Well, there is a point, what about you? ”

"It's Senior Sister Zhou Qian, cultivating to the pinnacle of innateness! Like the previous deceased, she died with a smile on her face. Wu Li said with an extremely ugly face.

"I don't know anything else, I only know that the cultivation of these dead people is getting higher and higher, the first one is still the middle innate stage, and now he has died two innate peaks in a row. It shows that the murderer's cultivation is growing. If we can't catch him again, when he's strong enough to deal with the masters of the Shenzhao realm, we'll be in danger. ”

Huai Jingdong said.

"Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Cui. I'm sorry for you two.

First, now send someone to check if Senior Sister Zhou has been in contact with anyone since she came back.

Second, let me ask, when Senior Sister Zhou checked in yesterday, did she bring any small demon beasts to move in.

Third, I will go to the place where the other seven deceased died to do an on-site examination. ”

Chu Hong said three points in a row, and the two hurriedly arranged for someone to deal with it. Subsequently, Li Ji took Chu Hong and a few people to check from the residence of the first deceased.

What is strange is that after Chu Hong arrived at the scene, he didn't look at the deceased's room at all, but kept wandering around the courtyard.

All the way to the seventh disciple, that is, the master of the first innate peak who died, and after all the investigations were completed. It's already noon.

"Brother Cui, how's it going?" Chu Hong came back, not caring about anything else. Hurriedly asked Cui Jun about the situation.

"I asked clearly, Senior Sister Zhou did move in with a little demon beast yesterday, but it disappeared the next day. I also inquired about the news, this demon beast was bought from a baggage shop in the fang market that specializes in all kinds of young beasts. Now this man has been watched by me. ”

Cui Jun replied.

"But this person has been doing this kind of acquisition and selling demon beast cubs in our Python Mountain Town for more than twenty years. He has never had any disciplinary record, and his reputation is very good, so he didn't do it, right?"

Cui Jun said with some confusion.

"Then I'll tell you what I've found, I've checked all the places of residence of these eight deceased, in their places of residence. There are traces of the ground being dug up. Moreover, all of them once lived with the cubs, and then they died, and finally the cubs disappeared. Now I only need to confirm one thing, did these eight people all come into contact with this baggage before they died, or did they ask him to buy young animals?

If so, then eighty percent of this matter has nothing to do with him!"

Chu Hong said categorically.
