Chapter 404 Blood Palm

At the northern foot of Xiaodong Mountain in the middle of the night, the night wind blows the sound of pines, which makes people feel creepy.

Walking in Yingdu, Xue Zhong was carefully examining the traces under an old pine tree. The ground was covered with dead leaves and rotten soil. There was a bloody palm print on the trunk half a foot above his head.

Within a radius of thirty feet, several other monks from the Yingdu Academy were doing the same thing, looking for possible clues.

After Wu Sheng, Zhong Liying, and Huai Huajian arrived, Xue Zhong patted Wu Sheng's shoulder vigorously to show his gratitude to him: "Thank you, Brother Sun... I will edit the book and leave it to Qing Shu, tell him I Temporarily borrowing from you."

This was for Wu Sheng's sake, so that Qing Shu would not blame Wu Sheng for acting without permission when Qing Shu came back. Wu Sheng smiled wryly, "What are you saying? Thank you? The criminal... Is it called Hongyi? Since Hongyi came to my Yangzhou, the Yangzhou Academy has the responsibility." Assist in walking, everything is as it should be.”

Xue Zhongdao: "Red clothes is what Sun Jiezi, a scholar in Yingdu, called this demon cultivator. He was the first to survive fighting against the demon cultivator. Shen Zhuliangyan used this name and wrote it in the file. His real name is Shang No one knows."

Wu Sheng nodded and looked at the tree trunk. Against the backdrop of the torch, the black and red palm prints looked extremely scary.

"Is this left by Moxiu?" Wu Sheng asked.

Xue Zhongdao: "I just discovered that the blood has not dried completely, and it will never exceed half an hour."

Huai Huajian said in surprise, "Another one was killed? Who died?"

Xue Zhongdao: "I don't know yet, I'm looking for it, but it's very strange. We have been searching for a long time, but we didn't find any blood on the ground, not a single drop, human head, limbs, bones, including internal organs, not a single bit of broken flesh and bones .”

Just now, Wu Sheng had heard from Zhong Liying that this demon cultivator liked to dismember corpses. Now that he arrived at the crime scene and followed Xue Zhong's narration, he couldn't help feeling sick.

Huai Huajian couldn't help but almost vomited, and retched beside her.

Zhong Liying asked: "Xue Xingxing, what does the blood palm print mean?"

Xue Zhongdao: "Every time Hongyi kills a person, he must leave a handprint. We don't know what that means, maybe it's just because we want to establish our prestige?"

Wu Sheng asked: "How did you find this bloody palm print?"

Xue Zhong pointed to a figure in the distance: "Do you still remember Xin Xitang? Now he has joined me. He is very talented in tracking. It would be a pity if he was executed just for theft! So I went back to Linzi, I met with Master Pan and told the pros and cons of it. Master Pan promised not to pursue it anymore. Xin Xitang has a very good attitude of confessing and repenting, and is willing to pay for his merits..."

Wu Sheng remembered Xin Xitang's betrayal of Jin Wuhuan for a bounty, and wanted to remind Xue Zhong, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.Everyone is not static, maybe they have really changed their past?Besides, who to use and who not to use, and how to use it, this is Xue Zhong's business, and there is no need for me to meddle in my own business.

After many years, it is impossible for Xin Xitang to recognize himself now. The only problem is that he cannot meet Jin Wuhuan, and he needs to be more careful in this regard.

Zhong Liying and Huai Huajian also joined the search for clues, but they were all in vain. After Xin Xitang came to meet Wu Sheng, he reported to Xue Zhong: "There is no trace of the red devil, and it is still the same as before. It seems to have disappeared out of thin air. In general, the scope of the search should be expanded."

Wu Sheng observed Xin Xitang's every move and felt that he did not recognize him, so he asked, "Brother Xin, how did you find this palm print?"

Xin Xitang pointed to his nose: "Xitang has a family secret skill in distinguishing smell and smell."

Xue Zhong said with a smile: "He just relies on a dog's nose, haha." After laughing, he ordered: "Extend to a hundred feet!"

With the blood palm as the center, the area of ​​searching hundreds of feet away is still quite large, but Xin Xitang immediately showed his excellence, and found a palm almost 85 feet away after a moment, the palm was covered with black and red. Compared with the blood spots on the trunk, they matched the blood spots on the tree trunk.

Is it Liwei that Xue Zhong said?Or some kind of magical ritual?Or is it purely some kind of obsessive illusion of insanity?
Wu Sheng asked: "Xue Xingxing, you found the red-clothed demon in Jishan this time? How did you find it? Why did he suddenly appear after five years?"

Xue Zhongdao: "I don't know why it appeared. After I walked to Yingdu, I started to solve the accumulated cases and re-scheduled the reward. Many monks in Yingdu are running around for the reward. The red dress worn by this magician is very eye-catching, and it is very easy to identify , as soon as it appeared, someone discovered it. Fei Baide, my subordinate, rushed to the mouth of Jishan Mountain after reporting, and died on the spot. According to the informant, the female demon in red at that time..."

"female?"

"The female devil, she is standing at the entrance of Jishan Mountain, staring at the cliff in a daze, motionless."

Wu Sheng blinked: "What's on the cliff? For example, spirit grass and spirit flowers?"

Xue Zhongzan said: "Brother Sun is sharp... A strange thing happened five years ago on the cliff at the mouth of Jishan Mountain. Someone transplanted flowers and plants on the wall, and it became a strange pattern overnight. Afterwards, the school set fire to the cliff. , Burned the trick pattern, when I went to see it a few days ago, the flowers and plants regenerated, and faintly recovered three-point remnants."

Wu Sheng coughed dryly: "She's looking at that...strange pattern? Who drew it?"

Xue Zhongdao: "The person who painted the pattern has been taken by the academy..." Seeing no one around, he whispered: "Brother Sun, do you know who it is? Dong Lizi, the younger brother of the great alchemist Sang Tianwu."

Wu Sheng hurriedly asked: "Isn't the Great Alchemist respected by the academy? Why do you want to arrest his junior brother?"

Xue Zhongdao: "The two brothers are not in harmony with each other, and their actions are completely different. Sang Fengxing's heart is towards the academy, while Dong Lizi privately studies forbidden literature. What he painted on the cliff wall of Jishan is the forbidden pattern of the academy. Words written in heavenly scriptures! For this reason, scholar Huqiu personally took action to capture them, and they are now detained in the Xiandu Dungeon. From the perspective of Sang Fengxing, he did not intentionally embarrass him."

Wu Sheng sighed with emotion: "Is Donglizi's cultivation so high? He actually wants to join forces."

Xue Zhongdao: "It's amazing, he entered the void from the scriptures of the heavenly script. It is said that within a few days after entering the void, he fought with Chang Hong and Gongye without losing... Tsk tsk tsk, this scripture in the scriptures is amazing!"

Wu Sheng also clicked his tongue a few times, and said enviously: "The characters in the heavenly script are so powerful, when will I and others in the academy be able to take a closer look?"

Xue Zhongdao: "The words in the book of heaven are in harmony with the way of heaven, and they have their own definite will. How can we study it indiscriminately? If it is passed on, it will leak the secret of heaven, and the way of heaven will be in chaos."

Wu Sheng asked: "Does that mean you can't learn?"

Xue Zhong patted him on the shoulder: "You can only have a chance if you enter the practice, Brother Sun, you and I work hard together!"

During the conversation, the rest of the people had already checked and found no other clues, Xue Zhong asked Wu Sheng what direction to solve the case, Wu Sheng didn't think of a better way, but said: "Let's see if we can find the owner of the palm. "

Zhong Liying said: "Brother Sun, let's go back and ask Captain Tian Si to help?"

Xue Zhong hurriedly said: "Don't make a big fanfare!"

Wu Sheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll just ask Captain Tian Si to investigate."
