The old nun carefully took Zhao Changhe to the grave, pointed out the specific location of the grave, and ran away holding up the hem of her monk's robe.
In fact, until now, the old nun still doesn’t know why she brought this inexplicable person to perform the autopsy. Is it because Young Master Tang has a lot of face
Young Master Tang himself didn't want to come, and he didn't introduce who this man whose knife could move on its own was.
I always feel that since this person came here, everything has naturally and logically become under his control, as if it were a matter of course.
Not to mention the old nun's confusion, Zhao Changhe was already squatting on the grave, reaching out his hand and lightly poking into the soil above, releasing a trace of his own evil spirit to carefully sense it.
no response.
Zhao Changhe gritted his teeth, pulled out the dragon bird and started shoveling the soil.
Dragon Bird: “…”
Sisi's little face was twitching, and it was unclear whether she was afraid of the rotten corpse inside or felt sorry for the precious sword.
At this moment, Zhao Changhe began to look a little scary in her eyes. Sisi was a little regretful about why she had gotten involved with this man in the first place. She shouldn't have messed with such a pervert...
Thinking about the fact that she had kissed him on the mouth, Sisi wanted to dig her own mouth out.
Little did Zhao Changhe know that he was also gritting his teeth. This kind of thing was really different from killing someone, and it would be different no matter how many corpses he saw... However, the strange incident of the Blood Evil in Gusu might be extremely crucial to his own Blood Evil practice, so he had to find out the truth even if he had to hold his nose.
—He was very skeptical. If it was really the result of the invasion of blood evil power, the corpse should not have smelled... This needs to be verified.
"Wipe!" Longque wiped the edge of the straw mat.
Zhao Changhe put away the knife, carefully dug up the soil, and frowned as he looked at the stinking corpse.
The corpse was so rotten that the human face could not be distinguished, and the specific appearance of the original wounds could not be seen. It was disgusting, but once you really accepted this setting, it didn't seem to be a big deal... Now the problem was that Zhao Changhe had never studied forensics, and any marks on the corpse were of no reference to him. He was just here to sense the evil spirit.
However, the evil spirit alone does not exist at all.
This shouldn't be.
In the realm of Xuanguan cultivation, Zhao Changhe dared to say that no one understood the power of blood evil more than himself, not even Master Xue. Because no one in the entire Blood God Cult practiced the Blood Evil Art as a fundamental technique, and when they encountered a blood evil attack, they used the Blood Fixing Pill to eliminate it directly. Later, they switched to practicing the Blood God Art, and their contact with evil spirits became less and less.
Their ability to endure, resist, and understand the blood evil power is indeed not on the same level as Zhao Changhe's.
Why did Zhao Changhe think that the corpse might not stink? Because according to his experience with evil spirits, the existence of such a fierce and violent and even aggressive subject should not completely disappear with the death of the person. There must be residual evil spirits that spread around the body, making the soil dry and barren, and all creatures in the nearby soil should die. It is very likely that creatures such as maggots will not survive.
Even after more than ten days, the evil spirit gradually dissipated and normal decay began again, but this corpse seemed to have been rotting for half a month. From the corpse, especially the surrounding area, there was no sign of the existence of any evil spirit, not even a trace.
Is it because all the evil spirit has entered Lu Shaoxiong's body? Is it evil spirit or evil essence
Or is it because... this person is not the descendant of evil spirit at all. The first deceased person never had any evil spirit!
"Ugh!" There was a vomiting sound next to him. Zhao Changhe came to his senses and saw Sisi vomiting beside him. She was very miserable: "Master, please forgive me, this is too disgusting..."
"No..." Zhao Changhe asked curiously, "What are you looking at when you are full?"
Sisi was so stiff from vomiting that she felt like she was about to vomit. Damn it... Did I tell you that I also want to find the evil treasure
She pretended to continue vomiting and gasping for breath, and finally found an excuse: "I took a look out of curiosity, and it smelled so bad..."
"Okay." Zhao Changhe shoveled the soil back and filled it up again, then stood up and stretched: "Let's go, we got nothing."
Sisi followed closely behind, complaining, "There's nothing to see in a rotting, smelly corpse. Why did you have to come?"
"Yeah." Zhao Changhe looked around at the scenery, listened to the faint roars in the distance, and chuckled, "So they let us watch."
Sisi: “?”
"Hey, Sisi..."
"ah?"
"You have been in the Tang family for a long time, so you should know the distribution of power in Gusu, right? What level of family is the Lu family?"
Sisi lowered her head in pain. Why have I been here for so long? I was kissing you a few days ago. Fortunately, she arrived in Gusu two days earlier than Zhao Changhe, and had a general understanding of the basic situation: "The Lu family is the second largest family after the Tang family. Lu Shaoxiong is just one of the sons. There are still many masters in the family. The head of the Lu family is a master of the ninth heaven."
"I don't remember anyone on the Heaven and Earth List with the surname Lu."
"… The Tang family only has one Chief Tang, and he's not at home." Sisi was really worried that Zhao Changhe would start asking questions about other families again, which she really didn't understand, so she quickly said, "I'm just a little maid. If the master wants to know the specific situation, he should ask Young Master Tang. Maybe there are some hidden masters in each family. What can you ask a little maid?"
"Whether there are hidden masters in each family, no one knows, but if I'm not mistaken, there may be many crazy people in the city..."
Sisi was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to ask, she heard someone on the street running around and telling others, "Have you heard? The third son of the Gu family has also gone crazy!" The street was in an uproar, and many people were asking, "No way! Did Mr. Gu get infected when he went to visit Mr. Lu?"
"I don't know. If it was those nuns who were infected, why didn't they get infected? Oh, even if it was the person that Mr. Lu killed before, there must be a source for him to get infected, right?"
"Where else did he get infected? Where did Third Master Gu go before?"
"What else do those young men do besides flirting? Don't tell me this thing is actually syphilis, right?"
"God knows!"
The two of them slowly crossed the street amid the heated discussions on the streets. Sisi looked at Zhao Changhe as if he were a god: "Master, how did you know?"
"Oh, isn't this normal? Since the first person got infected, there must be a second one. If the source hasn't been found, the virus will definitely continue to spread. Why do you have the same brain as Tang Buqi?"
Sisi: “…”
She didn't believe that Zhao Changhe made this judgment because of this. He must have discovered something.
Sisi was so angry that her teeth itched. Everyone was watching, how come she didn't notice it? Didn't you really think I was a maid because you didn't see my identity? Then what's wrong with telling your own maid about the inside story
Is it because you don’t trust the maid you just hired enough
She gathered her emotions, put on a flattering smile, and said in a friendly voice: "Master..."
Zhao Changhe looked at her with a half-smile: "Hmm?"
"Where are we going now? Are you tired, Master? Do you want Sisi to massage your shoulders? Sisi's massage is very comfortable..."
"Well, I don't need to massage your shoulders for now." Zhao Changhe said leisurely, "Isn't it unlucky that we just dug a grave? I have to go back and take a shower. Do you want to help me?"
Sisi stood there stupidly.
Then she seemed to remember something, secretly glanced at the dragon bird on Zhao Changhe's back, and lowered her head shyly: "That's what Sisi should do."
Zhao Changhe almost laughed out loud, but he quickened his pace while holding back a weird smile.
"Master, wait for me!" Sisi chased after him happily, becoming more and more immersed in her acting.
Zhao Changhe suddenly stopped, and Sisi brushed past him. Puzzled, she stopped and turned around to look, only to see Zhao Changhe's Dragon Bird unsheathed, slashing at her from behind.
A black shadow made a very elegant arc, dodged the knife, and landed on the eaves of the side. He said in shock: "Brother Zhao, I have no ill intentions, and I am not coming for you. Your vigilance is a bit too... heavy."
But it was Ji Chengkong.
Zhao Changhe sheathed his sword and said calmly, "If you are walking in the martial arts world without a little vigilance, the grass on your grave will be three feet high... Brother Ji suddenly approached my maid, what do you want to do?"
Ji Chengkong looked Sisi up and down, thinking: "From behind, she looks like an acquaintance. Let me take a closer look... Since she is Brother Zhao's maid, I may have made a mistake. Sorry."
Sisi's heart was in her throat, but Zhao Changhe waved his hand nonchalantly, "If it's just a misunderstanding, forget it. Why did Brother Ji come to Gusu?"
Ji Chengkong said unhappily, "I went to Yangzhou and came to Gusu originally to look for someone, but I just wanted to steal things, so I fell into your and Wan Dongliu's hands."
Zhao Changhe asked, "I wonder what your family's rules are? Do you steal things based on your own preferences, or do you accept tasks? For example, if I hire you to steal something?"
Ji Chengkong laughed: "First of all, it depends on whether the employer likes it or not, and secondly, it depends on whether the stolen things are interesting. If a random passerby asks me to steal some boring money, then I will just steal his money first, which is a bit of fun."
Zhao Changhe found it quite interesting: "What about me?"
"You..." Ji Chengkong looked at him and said with a smile: "Based on what you said on the road the other day, you can do it. It depends on what you stole."
Zhao Changhe looked around and whispered, "Steal information about the Lu family, such as whether there is a heavily guarded forbidden area. If so, do you need a token or a password to enter the forbidden area, or can you only rely on your face... Are you interested in this information, Brother Ji?"
Sisi was listening with her ears perked up, and Zhao Changhe pushed her behind him and pushed her aside.
Sisi: “…”
Ji Chengkong thought for a moment and said, "I am interested in finding out secrets, but the Lu family is a bit boring... What interesting things can a family that is not even the top in the local area have?"
“Well, what if I said that there might be a young master in the Lu family who is cheating on his stepmother?”
Ji Chengkong clapped his hands vigorously: "I did it!"
Zhao Changhe smiled and handed over a banknote: "This is a deposit. Whether or not we can find out information, this is all Brother Ji's. If you do find out anything, come to the Tang family to find me, and I'll give you more gifts as a thank you."
