Chapter 14: Blood Sea Demon Skill
(I went out for most of the day today, I'm afraid there is only one watch, I hope you will forgive me)
"You mean, you and Tetsuji Catcher are attracting attention in the open, while I go into the shadows and take charge?"
After listening to Zhao Fan's thoughts, Li Shengnan pondered for a while, but did not agree immediately.
It's a good idea in pure thought. In this way, the two sides can integrate their forces well, and the cooperation of one light and one dark, on the one hand, can protect each other, on the other hand, it can also play a surprise effect, in the current situation where the strength of both sides is also good, it can almost be said to be the best plan.
However, any cooperation is not only based on whether the implementation is appropriate, but more importantly, the attribution of results and benefits.
After thinking for a moment, Li Shengnan finally nodded vigorously.
"Okay, I promise you. But......" said the girl, holding out two fingers, "you must promise me two conditions. β
"Okay, you say. Zhao Fan blurted out.
"First, if you really have the secret book of your uncle's ancestor, you must help me recapture it at any cost, and you must hand it over to me. β
"That's easy to say. Zhao Fan nodded in agreement. Thinking about it, most of the "evil and mysterious treasures" do not exist, this condition is tantamount to empty words, whether you agree or not, it doesn't matter at all.
"Second," Li Shengnan saw that Zhao Fan agreed so happily, and immediately guessed his thoughts in his heart, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "If the 'Evil Mystery Treasure' is fake, after you have an affair, you must accompany me to Liaodong to help me seek justice from the two enemies!"
"That's fine. Zhao Fan nodded calmly.
Since the family has helped, it is natural to have a relationship. Thinking that the previous condition is mostly useless, it is also the right thing to run with her.
Although this journey of revenge is destined to face many masters and strongmen, since he is already in the rivers and lakes, he can only embark on a road of no return when he encounters the stronger, how can he be afraid of challenges?
Thinking that the fifth level of his wedding dress magic skill has broken through imminently, even if he faces a first-class master, he will be ninety percent sure that he will retreat, Zhao Fan believes that this trip to Kanto should be regarded as a reasonable request, and naturally he will not refuse.
However, the so-called sky-high asking price and paying back the money on the ground, Zhao Fan accepted the girl's conditions in full, which does not mean that he will not put forward his own requirements.
"Since I have agreed to both of these two, I also hope that Miss Li can do a little more help. β
"Oh, let's hear it?" Li Shengnan didn't get angry at Zhao Fan's additional mentions, but just smiled and raised his eyebrows. After a few exchanges, the girl knew that the guy in front of her was not that kind of stupid, and she would definitely not destroy the hard-won cooperation situation because of the inch.
As it turned out, she was right. Zhao Fan's request has nothing to do with the treasure hidden.
"Actually...... Iron Hand and I are not here for the treasure, but to investigate the robbery of the Wind and Cloud Dart Game that occurred earlier this month. We still have no clue about the tragic death of the two generals in this case. Due to our sensitive identities, we are bound to attract much attention, and I am afraid it will be difficult to find out what the inside story is. Therefore, in my opinion, this matter may require the help of Miss Li, so that we can learn more about the case......"
Zhao Fan briefly stated his troubles, and the next moment, he heard Li Shengnan let out a chuckle unexpectedly.
"Huh?" Zhao Fan raised his head and looked at the girl puzzled, "What's the problem?"
"Nothing is a problem. Li Shengnan shook his head with a smile, "It's just that people say that no book is written without coincidence, and this statement is true, this world is indeed full of coincidences." β
"Oh, you mean ......?"
"I happen to know some unknown information about this, so it doesn't hurt to tell you about it now. That was about a month ago. At that time, in order to track down the 'evil and mysterious treasure', I had been secretly investigating in Jingzhou for more than ten days, and I happened to hear that Zhang and Li, two generals, had been killed overnight. β
Li Shengnan said, with a look of memory on his face, while slowly telling what happened.
"The matter of this treasure grabbing is already turbulent, with a mixture of dragons and snakes, and I am afraid that such a major event will inevitably have to be variable, so I deliberately care about the investigation, but I found that the local prefect quickly closed the case in just three days. Because this matter seems to be quite strange, I deliberately bought the Yazhong miscellaneous servants, only to know that the two generals died of knife wounds, after the appraisal of the Ling, was identified by the Ling Governor as a master of Wu Zhou to enter the country, reviewed the official document, and sent to the pacification of the Yamen. β
"Ho, it seems that this Ling Zhifu is quite responsible, and he is so decisive that he must have committed the crime by a master of Wu Zhou, and he is not afraid of angering Shangfeng and treating him with the crime of 'provoking himself', if he is really a rare and honest gentleman in this dynasty, it is really admirable. β
Zhao Fan sneered and said sarcastically without mercy.
"Since this Lord Ling is sure to be a master of the Zhou Kingdom, there must be a reliable reason?
"Of course. Li Shengnan nodded and smiled, "I bought the miscellaneous servant and specially asked him to pay attention to how the government determined the cause of death of the two generals." After his chatter about catching heads in the yazhong, it is said that there are traces of flesh and blood erosion where the two generals were stabbed, so Ling Zhifu judged that this was a master of Zhou Guoguo who had cultivated the 'Heavenly Demon Gong'. β
"Oh, it is said that he is a strong man who has cultivated the 'Heavenly Demon Skill'?" Zhao Fan frowned and said, "As far as I know, Wu Zetian set aside the Li Tang Imperial Family, in the name of the 'Two Saints of the Dynasty', and since he took power alone, he spent countless manpower and material resources, and finally succeeded in collecting ten volumes, relying on the immortal martial arts wisdom, breaking through the limit of the eighteenth-layer 'Reincarnation Chapter', and pushing the 'Heavenly Demon Skill' of the Yin Sect to the twentieth layer of the 'Ultimate Chapter' that no one had seen before. From then on, only the most loyal and great subordinates can get the secret book of the Heavenly Demon Divine Skill given by the Empress Wu, such characters, in the territory of Wu Zhou, either have a bright future, or are high-powered, no matter how you think about it, you will not run to the Song Kingdom to assassinate one or two insignificant generals. What is the purpose of this Ling Huisi telling such a clumsy lie?"
"Isn't this simple?" Li Shengnan sneered, "Of course, his intention is to close the case quicklyβas for what will happen after the lie is exposed, this Lord Ling has already been fully prepared, so there is no need to worry about it at all." β
"Hmm, what do you mean by that?" Zhao Fan asked strangely, "If you close the case...... What can you do?"
"I can bury the corpse as much as possible!" Li Shengnan pouted, "As long as you bury the person quickly, you can let as few people as possible touch the corpse, so as to hide the secret you want to hide." People say that it is safe to enter the earth, as long as the person is buried, how difficult is it to open the coffin for an autopsy? Even if the Tie Er Catcher has the Imperial Gift to Calm the Chaos, he can cut it first and then play it, but if the Ling Governor refuses to cooperate with the opening of the coffin, presumably you can only be helpless. β
"Hmm...... Reasonable. Zhao Fan's eyes condensed slightly, and he nodded slowly, "But listening to what you said, Miss Li must know something?"
"Of course!" Li Shengnan said, with an evil smile on his face, "Who is this girl? As the granddaughter of the big devil who resists the sky, what can it be counted as just opening a coffin?"
"At that time, I heard that it might be the arrival of the master of Wuzhou, although it sounds like nonsense, but after all, I don't dare to let such variables go, so I naturally have to check carefully. On the evening of the fourth day after the tragic death of the two generals, the government sent more than 20 officials to carry the coffins of the two to the Puji Temple in the west of the city overnight for hastily burial. Because I had been monitoring the movements of the government office in the morning, I was able to get their men and horses in time, quietly hide in a tree on the side, and as soon as they left, I immediately came down and gave him an open coffin for an autopsy. β
"At this time, I found something interesting. Li Shengnan looked at Zhao Fan's gaze, and a playful smile appeared on his face, "Guess what it is?"
"What is it?" Zhao Fan touched his face and asked helplessly. A clueless question like this, even if he is an immortal, it is impossible to guess......
"It's a poison!" Li Shengnan said, "A strange poison that has no effect on the living, but can accelerate the decay of corpses!"
"Although most of my family is lost, there are records of this strange poison on the few remnants that remain. After the poison was coated on the corpse, even if it was buried in the soil, it would only take more than 30 days for the corpse to decompose into a pile of bones, which looked no different from natural decay. Fortunately, I immediately opened the museum for inspection on the same day, otherwise it would have been a day or two late, and under the effect of this strange poison, the corpse would have decomposed to the point that it did not look like a human form, and no matter how many traces there were, it would have been completely annihilated. β
"But thanks to the fact that I did it right away, I checked it and found something strange. These two generals were indeed tragically killed by the knife, and there were indeed traces of flesh and blood erosion where they were stabbed, but on these two corpses, it was not the strange erosion of natural emaciation like the 'Heavenly Demon Gong', but a large piece of flesh and blood that seemed to be torn by a beast dissolved, not only that, but from the place where the knife was hit, there were also large red scars that spread outward, which looked like bloodstains. β
"Perhaps such a sign is something that Governor Ling wants to hide. However, I don't know much about the miraculous skills in the martial arts, and I really can't think of what kind of magic skills of what sect and sect can cause such terrible wounds. β
Li Shengnan said, while raising his eyes to look at Zhao Fan and said: "Brother Zhao, I know that you have always known a lot about martial arts, do you know what kind of martial arts such traces represent?"
"Well...... Of course I do. β
Zhao Fan nodded solemnly, and then sighed suddenly.
"This kind of blood-like red mark, together with the traces of the dissolution of flesh and blood, is exactly the symbol of the famous sect of the Tubo Black Sect 'Blood Knife Gate' - the Blood Sea Demon Skill! Zhang and Li are not weak in martial arts, with the strength of the second-generation disciples of the Blood Knife Sect, I am afraid that they will still not be able to kill them with one blow, from this point of view, the one who kills must be the strongest master of the Blood Knife Sect today, the current head of the Blood Knife Sect - the Blood Knife Ancestor!"
