Chapter 13: The Fog Grows

He Li put on the autopsy gloves handed over by the guards, and carefully searched the corpses, but no scars were found, and the death methods of these dozen bodies could be said to be exactly the same, without the slightest difference. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Did you find anything?" the guards asked.

"Nothing was found. The method of death was exactly the same, there was no scar at all, there was no flesh and blood in the body, and there was no spiritual power fluctuation. What are the identities of these people?" He Li asked, shaking his head.

"They're all spirits. The guard said.

"Are they all spirits?" He Li was shocked again.

"Yes, and they're all dead, and they don't have the ability to resist at all. The guard sighed.

"And these corpses of spirits are all dried corpses, without any residual spiritual power fluctuations, then it is basically certain that the murderer's purpose is to absorb the flesh and spiritual power of the spirit, or this is an indispensable thing for the murderer. He Li frowned and said.

"We have also determined that the murderer's purpose is to absorb the flesh and spiritual power of the spirit, but what do you mean by saying that the murderer is essential. The guard stepped forward, looked at He Li and asked.

"Maybe the murderer needs to survive on the flesh and blood of the spirit, and he needs to absorb the spiritual power of the spirit to cultivate, and so on. He Li replied.

"Moreover, if it is really the murderer's cultivation needs, then the murderer may choose to cultivate in some ruined temples or places that are not popular. He Li thought for a while and said.

"It's possible. The guards nodded, and hurriedly sent the order down to let those officials search some remote and uninhabited places.

"It's almost dawn, I have to go back, and if there's anything I need to go down, I'll be there. He Li suddenly remembered that it was almost dawn, and He Qing'er was afraid that she was going to wake up, so she was going back to the inn.

"My name is Qin Song, thank you, little brother. The leading guard hugged his fist at He Li.

"Brother Qin, I didn't help at all, how can I thank you. He Li returned the salute with a fist.

"You helped us think of an idea, how can we not thank you. Qin Song said.

"Then I'll go back first, and if you need to go down, follow the message. After saying that, He Li left the City Lord's Mansion.

In fact, He Qian faintly felt that such exercises seemed to be somewhat similar to the techniques of the Thirteen Protectors of the Falling God Sect at that time, but he couldn't be sure.

.............

returned to the inn, quietly opened the door, and couldn't help but feel relieved to see that He Qing'er was still asleep, lying on the table, looking at the unconscious little fox, and muttering, "Why aren't you awake yet." Then he closed his eyes, and after a night of tossing, it was time to rest a little.

As the sky grew brighter, He Li stretched his body, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and involuntarily looked at the bed, but found that He Qing'er was not on the bed, just when He Li was a little flustered, He Qing'er came in from outside the door.

"Are you awake?" He Qing'er said as she looked at He Li, who had woken up.

"You woke up so early, where did you go? He Li breathed a sigh of relief and asked casually.

"Give. He Qing'er smiled and handed over a paper bag, from which a burst of aroma came from.

"It smells so good. He Li took the paper bag and opened it, and inside were a few hot buns.

"I'm going to buy breakfast. He Li took out a bun and took a bite, "It tastes good." ”

"That's nature. He Qing'er said, "Eat quickly." ”

"Have you eaten?" He Li asked as he ate.

"Naturally, I ate it. He Qing'er sat down, poured a cup of tea for He Li, and handed it to He Li.

"Thank you. He Li took the teacup and took a sip.

"Do you want to eat it? He Qing'er suddenly pointed to the unconscious little fox who was placed on the table by He Li and asked.

"How can I eat when I'm unconscious. He Li gave her a blank look.

"Oh well. He Qing'er hugged the little fox, "I heard that there is a temple in Qingcheng, which seems to be very famous, and it is said that there is a special spirit for making a wish." ”

"What temple?" He Li asked.

"It seems to be called the Temple of No Demons. He Qing'er thought for a while and said.

"The name of the Demonless Temple is really peculiar. He Li said, "Go and see?"

"That's what I thought. He Qing'er said.

"Okay, then go check it out. He Li wiped his mouth after eating the buns, "You lead the way." ”

"Let's go. As she spoke, He Qing'er cracked her mouth and laughed, happily not forgetting to touch the little fox's white hair.

Under the guidance of He Qing'er, he finally came to the largest temple in Qingcheng, the Demonless Temple.

The temple is located in the south of the city, covers an area of 70 acres, the scale is large, the people who come to ask for the sign are endless, the incense is prosperous, it is said that the abbot of the founding of the temple is a high person, and the cultivation is unfathomable.

"That's a lot of people. He Qing'er stood outside the temple, constantly watching groups of people coming in and out, some happy and some sad.

"Yes, there are quite a lot of people, go in and have a look. He Li also praised it, this demonless temple is indeed the first temple in Qingcheng.

The two walked into the temple, in front of them is a huge square, there is a huge lion statue in the square, very magnificent, walk through the square is the main hall of the temple without demons.

"Why does the temple have such a statue?" He Li looked at the stone sculpture of the lion with some puzzlement.

"It is said that this lion is the mount of the patriarch of the Demonless Temple, and he founded the Demonless Temple and had such a statue as the guardian of the Demonless Temple. He Qing'er explained.

"How do you know this. He Li looked at He Qing'er's omniscient appearance and asked.

"I've long wanted to come to Qingcheng's Demonless Temple to have a look, how could I not know. He Qing'er smiled proudly.

"Well, I see. He Li nodded.

"So, I'm going to take a look at it this time. He Qing'er grinned.

"So, let's sign it. He Li looked at He Qing'er's smile and smiled slightly.

"Let's go. He Qing'er ran and jumped towards the main hall.

At this time, a person appeared in He Li's sight, it was Qin Song, the leader of the pro-guard team, who was not wearing a formal suit but a blue plain clothes.

"What is he here for?" He asked a little. At this time, Qin Song also noticed He Li and walked over.

"Brother He, what a coincidence. Qin Song smiled and hugged his fists towards He Li.

"yes. Brother Qin. He Li also returned the salute with a fist. He Qing'er stopped and walked back, looking at Qin Song who was dressed in blue.

"Didn't you suddenly call the senior officer of our personal guard team in the inn yesterday?" He Qing'er said.

"Not bad. My name is Qin Song. Qin Song also hugged He Qing'er with a fist.

"I wonder what Brother Qin is doing here?" He Li asked.

"Oh, yes, I'm going to visit the abbot of the Temple of No Demons. Qin Song said.

"Abbot, but the ancestor of the Demonless Temple?" He Li was a little surprised.

"No, no, no. Qin Song smiled and said, "The founder of the Demonless Temple has traveled all over the world all year round, where will he stay in this Demonless Temple."

"Then who is this abbot the Ancestor of the Demonless Temple?" He Li asked.

"The abbot is also a master of Buddhism, and his cultivation is unfathomable, as for who is the patriarch of the Demonless Temple, it is not clear. Qin Song said.

"Can you let my little brother also see the abbot of this demonless temple. He Li smiled, and his heart was also full of curiosity about this abbot of the Demonless Temple.

"I heard that the abbot of the Demonless Temple is in retreat all year round, and it is rare to see it, and I also want to see the demeanor of the abbot of the Demonless Temple. He Qing'er was also excited, she had long wanted to come to this Demonless Temple to have a look, and she naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to meet the abbot.

"Since the two of you are so interested, let's go with it. Qin Song nodded, and did not refuse.

After passing through the main hall, he came to a hall at the end of the demonless temple. This hall seems to be a little different from the others, this hall is extremely quaint, but there is a faint flow of golden light around it.

"Abbot, kid Qin Song came to visit. At this time, Qin Song clenched his hands into fists and bowed deeply towards the main hall with great respect. He Li and He Qing'er also bent down with Qin Song and bowed.

"What's going on. After a moment of silence, an extremely loud voice came from the main hall, and the voice was full of energy, and from then on, the voice He Li was sure that this abbot's cultivation was indeed profound.

"It's about the case that happened in Qingcheng these days. Qin Song bent down and said, "I hope the abbot can give some pointers." ”

There was silence for another moment, and only a creak was heard, and the closed door of the hall suddenly opened.

"Thank you, Abbot. Qin Song straightened up and gestured to He Li and the others. The three of them walked into the hall. The three of them entered the main hall, and the door closed automatically.

Above the main hall, there is a stone bed, on which is a futon, on which sits an old monk wearing a red robe.

"The boy has seen the abbot. Qin Song bowed again at the monk. He Li and He Qing'er also bowed.

"It turns out that the abbots are like this, just like I thought. He Qing'er whispered to He Li.

"Eh, what do you imagine the abbot to look like?" He Li asked speechlessly.

"Just like him, with a long white beard and white eyebrows. He Qing'er thought for a while and said.

"Uh...... Okay," He Li was speechless again.

"Abbot, there have been murders in Qingcheng one after another, and the corpses have all become dried corpses, I don't know what the abbot thinks?" Qin Song asked.

"Falling gods fall first and people fall first, devouring blood and devouring spirits. The abbot said with his eyes still closed, but his lips moved slightly.

"What does this mean?" Qin Song asked puzzled. But He Li, who heard this sentence, was shocked.

"Go ahead. The abbot stretched out his hand, motioned for the three to leave, and stopped talking.

"This ......" Qin Song sighed, although he had doubts, he still signaled He Li and the others to leave the hall.

"Little brother, do you know what this abbot means?" Out of the main hall, Qin Song looked at He Li and asked.

"It's not clear. He Li shook his head, because he wasn't sure if it was the Falling God Sect, so he didn't dare to say anything.

"Then leave it at that. Qin Song's brows furrowed.

"If there's news, I'll let you know. He Li said.

"Thank you very much. After saying that, Qin Song left the Demonless Temple directly.

"This matter is really foggy, and what's even more terrifying is that if the Falling God Sect is the mastermind, it won't be easy to do. He Li thought to himself.
