Chapter 273: The Smell of Blood

There was no word all the way, and when they arrived near Lanzhou, a scout suddenly reported: "There is a situation ahead." ”

Mo Shenggu asked, "What's the situation?"

The detective looked embarrassed and said, "It just smells of blood." ”

Hearing this, Mo Shenggu couldn't help frowning.

Yin Liting handed over Song Qingshu's people to Mo Shenggu to take care of that day, but it was not a lie. Mo Shenggu has been dealing directly with these scouts for a long time, but he also knows it. This reason is not a reason at all.

The land of the northwest has never been the hometown of humanity. The people are fierce, they don't say a word, and they have never seen anything less about pulling out their swords. Not to mention the smell of blood in this place, even if you see ten or eight corpses, it is also a common thing. Although the Wudang faction is chivalrous and righteous, it is not a policeman, and it smells of blood, so it is rare to analyze whether it is the first scene?

Therefore, Mo Shenggu's face couldn't help but be a little ugly, and he felt that this scout was really unreliable.

When this detective saw Mo Shenggu's face, he knew that Mo Shenggu was unhappy. Hurriedly said: "My lord, let's go and take a look, judging from my decades of experience in marching, there must be something wrong with this place." I just don't know what the problem is?"

Mo Shenggu frowned, he knew that the people sent by Song Qingshu were all men who had been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and these people could survive in a bloody storm, not only by virtue of martial arts, but also by a keen intuition of danger. What he said should not be a lie.

Mo Shenggu is a big deal to run in vain. When you're out and about, it's better to be careful.

Mo Shenggu said, "Let's go, take me to see." ”

The two of them galloped quickly, and before they came to that place, Mo Shenggu suddenly pulled the reins and said, "Huh." He stopped his horse, and turned over and dismounted, ignoring the scouts around him. Come to a tree.

The tree knew at a glance that he was dying. Mo Shenggu looked at it very carefully, and Mo Shenggu turned to the other side of the tree, and a clear palm print was printed on the number.

Mo Shenggu said: "Sure enough. ”

When Mo Shenggu was practicing, he cut down the tree by hand, and he had seen such a tree, and this tree was broken by someone with heavy techniques, and all the tendons on the tree were broken, and after a few days, it would inevitably die. Mo Shenggu looked at this palm print, and said secretly in his heart: "The person who shook this tree." The skill is not trivial, and it is not much different from the palm power of the third senior brother. is a good hand, such a person is by no means an unknown person in the rivers and lakes, he is not a master of Mingjiao, or a master of the six major sects, but he doesn't know who. But no matter who it is, something must happen here, otherwise such a master would not shoot trees for no reason. Mo Shenggu turned his head and said to the detective: "Go and call all the people over." ”

The scout said, "My lord, you haven't arrived yet. ”

Mo Shenggu said, "I don't need you to lead me. I'll go on my own. ”

Although the scout didn't know how Mo Shenggu knew where he was going to take him, he didn't dare to disobey Mo Shenggu's order, so he agreed and pulled his horse back.

Mo Shenggu lowered his head. Walking step by step, I didn't take a few steps, and I felt soft under my feet. Mo Shenggu brushed the soil on the ground, only to find a clear footprint on the ground.

Mo Shenggu looked at the location of this footprint. Make a gesture in your heart, take a step forward, and find the right place to remove a layer of sand from the ground again. Another clear footprint.

Mo Shenggu secretly said in his heart: "There must be two people here to fight against the elders, the footprints of these two people are light and heavy, I am afraid that the person with light feet may win, but why are these footprints so familiar." ”

Mo Shenggu slapped his head suddenly, and said secretly: "These are monk shoes." And both of them were wearing monk shoes. “

Mo Shenggu looked forward again, but found that there were broken trees in front of him, and there were broken stones, Mo Shenggu didn't look closely, and went forward wholeheartedly, along the way, Mo Shenggu silently deduced, and secretly said in his heart: "It should be that two monks chased all the way to the front from somewhere in front, and the place where things began is to move forward." ”

Mo Shenggu strode forward, extremely fast, and in a short time, he came to a forest.

There are still relatively few woods in the northwest. Mo Shenggu secretly calculated in his heart, but found that this was the best place to camp.

Although it is a forest, the place is not large, but there are hundreds of trees, and there is an open space in the middle of the forest, as if it was a camping place for people.

I have seen places like Mosheng Valley, but the merchants who walked in them specially prepared places. These places have been camped by merchants for generations, and the woods have not grown by themselves, but have been planted by someone. The so-called predecessors planted trees, and later generations enjoyed the shade.

Mo Shenggu didn't think about such a messy thing, as soon as he entered the woods, Mo Shenggu felt a strong smell of blood, coming to his nose. Mo Shenggu couldn't help but wrinkle his nose.

I saw that there were dark red blood marks on the trees. Piece by piece, it looks very ugly. Mo Shenggu immediately deduced that there was not just one person who died here. Dozens of people should have died.

didn't wait for Mo Shenggu to take a closer look, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, which sounded continuously, but it was people from Wudang and Emei who came.

It turned out that as soon as Zhang Songxi heard Mo Shenggu's words, he knew that Mo Shenggu must have discovered something, Mo Shenggu had discovered something, and it must be the people of the Ming Sect who stood up and the people of the Wudang Sect were already very close. Zhang Songxi was afraid that Mo Shenggu would meet the enemy alone, so he made a mistake, and immediately brought someone over. Seeing from afar that Mo Shenggu was still standing alone, Zhang Songxi breathed a sigh of relief, turned over and dismounted, and said to Mo Shenggu: "Old Seven, what have you discovered." ”

Mo Shenggu said: "There are a large number of martial arts masters here, doing life and death fights. ”

When Zhang Songxi came in, he didn't have time to take a closer look, but he felt that the smell of blood here was tangy. Hearing Mo Shenggu say this, and then looking at the traces of the fight, he immediately found that both sides were martial arts people.

Mo Shenggu said: "I don't have much research on the tracking technique, so let's take a look." ”

Zhang Songxi frowned and said: "Look at this bloodstain, it's been a few days, and I can't see anything now, but I'll take a look to see if I can see the martial arts of the two sides." ”

Zhang Songxi walked around the woods alone.

The follow-up people came one after another, and Mo Shenggu did not let them into the forest, but asked him to go around in a big circle and fence the forest.

Yin Liting, Yu Lianzhou, and Ji Xiaofu are all here. Mo Shenggu told them what had happened, and several people frowned, worried in their hearts.

Mo Shenggu naturally knew what they were worried about.

Shaolin and Huashan set out at the earliest, and the battle here will not be a battle between Shaolin and Mingjiao, and what will be the outcome of this battle?

Zhang Songxi suddenly said, "Come and see." ”

Several people heard the sound, but saw Zhang Songxi holding half a wooden stick. The four people's sticks were fixed on this stick.

Yu Lianzhou said: "It's the stick monk of Shaolin Temple, and there is nothing wrong with the plan." ”

Although this half of the stick has been thrown here for several days, there is no decay at all, as if it were a piece of white jade. Such a wooden stick Yu Lianzhou has seen in Shaolin Temple, it is a secret method of Shaolin, as long as it is made, this stick is not afraid of water and fire, and is not afraid of swords. Ordinary weapons can't cut him at all. Just look at the incision, and it is as smooth as a mirror.

Zhang Songxi stroked the gap and said, "This stick is definitely not injured by ordinary blades. ”

Ji Xiaofu remembered something, and suddenly slashed down with a sword, cutting the stick in half again, and then looking at the gap, it was the same as the gap just now. Ji Xiaofu said: "It's a dragon slaying knife." ”

The hearts of several people sank, and they secretly said that this place must be the place where Shaolin and Mingjiao fought, and the only thing that the world's divine soldiers can compare with the Heavenly Sword is the Dragon Slaying Knife.

Yin Liting said: "Let's go separately and see if there are any clues." ”

Several people called the disciples of Emei and Wudang one after another, and asked them to look for the traces left by the confrontation of some masters.

Several people themselves were searching, and for a while, everyone gathered, only to find that there were only some swords and soldiers in the traces of the trees, and there was nothing else.

Yin Liting rolled his eyes, but he didn't find Zhang Songxi, and said, "Fourth Senior Brother?"

"I'm here. Zhang Songxi's voice came from afar, and several people turned around to take a look. Zhang Songxi was in the open space in the middle of the woods, his hand tapping the ground little by little.

Mo Shenggu said, "Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Zhang Songxi didn't speak, but suddenly slapped his palm on the ground, and his whole hand fell into the ground, and then his hand went up, and he actually grabbed a hand and came out.

It's just that this hand, hanging low, covered with corpse spots, is a dead man's hand.

Zhang Songxi put down his hand and said, "Dig." ”

The disciples of the Emei faction are all women, how can they do such a job of digging up the dead. The disciples of the Wudang Sect were not afraid, but Song Qingshu's men were the first to do it.

These people are all battlefield warriors, characters who rolled out of the pile of dead people, and they are not afraid of dead people at all. Dozens of corpses were dug up. And dig out a trench that seems to be round.

These dozens of corpses were all monks, and when they were buried, they were careless at all, and they were hastily drowned, or Zhang Songxi would not have seen the clues.

Yin Liting, Yu Lianzhou, Zhang Songxi, Mo Shenggu, Ji Xiaofu, and a group of people in Emei have carefully investigated the deaths of these Shaolin monks, and even some of them still know each other. Most of the dead are the second generation of Shaolin and the third generation of disciples, and there are not many famous masters who die. There are also several disciples of the Huashan faction.

Zhang Songxi said: "This is the Ming Sect did an ambush in advance, this trench, it turned out to be a tunnel, it should be a means of thick soil flags, lurking underground and suddenly attacking, most of the masters of the Ming Sect have participated, at least Xie Xun and Wei Yi smiled."

The reason why Zhang Songxi said this was because the signs of Xie Xun's killing and Wei Yixiao's killing were too obvious, but the other Mingjiao masters were not so obvious, and now after a rough look, they could see the methods of the two of them. (To be continued......)
