The pear blossoms fall to the stars

Chapter 84
In Yangjia Town, Han Jiuling and Liang Jingyan have traveled south to this point.

"My lord, there seems to be something unusual ahead." He stood outside the town, feeling the deadness and depression coming from the town.

Han Jiuling walked slowly towards the town, being vigilant all the way, and said: "They are going to Hanshui, and this town is the place they must pass through."

Liang Jingyan walked to the street, looked at some traces on the ground, squatted down to check, and then stood up: "There are traces of fierce fighting here."

"It seems that they have stayed here for a while." Han Jiuling was walking on the street, and the mess that could be seen everywhere was swaying in the wind of the street.

Han Jiuling opened the door of an inn and walked in. The inside was quite tidy.

"This is the only inn in the town. They should have settled here. Brother Liang, let me go in and investigate first. You can go to the town to see if there are any clues." Han Jiuling said.

"There is no sound here, the young master does not know martial arts, so be careful." Liang Jingyan pulled out a dagger and handed it to Han Jiuling, hoping that he would use it for self-defense.

Han Jiuling took the dagger and first went into the kitchen to check.

The pots and stoves showed signs of being passive recently, and Han Jiuling took a closer look at the leftover food made from the ingredients.I am afraid that only the people in Yucheng eat these foods in the habit of eating them.

Then he went up to the second floor and checked the interior of the room.The quilts in a few rooms were neatly stacked, even more organized than in other more rooms. However, these few rooms were not the ones they didn't live in, but the ones they lived in.

Because these rooms are not only neatly furnished, but also free of dust.

Han Jiuling was meditating when a gust of wind whistled from behind.He was vigilant, pulled out his dagger, turned around, only to find that it was Liang Jingyan who had returned.

Seeing that it was Liang Jingyan, he put the dagger away in peace.

Said: "I just checked this inn. The back kitchen is for Yucheng's food. There are a few rooms clean and tidy. I'm sure they stayed here for a few days. Brother Liang, did you find anything? "

"There is no one alive in the whole town, and I found a lot of new graves in a wasteland in the town." Liang Jingyan replied.

New grave?

Han Jiuling said that there might be some clues there to find out what happened to them here, so she decided to go and find out.

In a wasteland near the town, Han Jiuling squatted at the head of the grave, squeezed a handful of soil and put it in his hands to look at it.

"It seems that's why they stayed here."

Liang Jingyan asked puzzledly: "My lord, when I came here, there were strong signs of fighting in the town, and at first glance, it is not the skill that ordinary people can have. Could it be that these commoners were all..."

"Of course they didn't do it." Han Jiuling immediately terminated his conjecture, after all, his trust in the second prince and Li Hualuo was still great, and his eyes were full of affirmation.

In order to understand the reason of the matter, Han Jiuling immediately said: "There must be some reason, Brother Liang, why not dig up a corpse for examination."

After Liang Jingyan heard this, he dug out a corpse.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Han Jiuling stepped forward to inspect them: "It was buried in time, and there is not much decay. It proves that these corpses did not show signs of decay when they buried them. So before they came here , and these people just happened to be all killed.”

Then Han Jiuling looked at his neck: "A sword to seal the throat is done by the blade."

"There are so many townspeople, this person is really vicious!" Liang Jingyan looked at the grave, feeling as if he was thinking of his relatives who had been exterminated. Stop the sword in your hand.

Han Jiuling also felt the same, but suddenly noticed something, and said, "Why are there so many raised spots on his skin?"

Liang Jingyan also took a closer look, and after thinking about it for a while, he didn't seem to come up with a reason. Maybe he was thinking about the same thing with other corpses like Han Jiuling.

Han Jiuling took out the dagger and cut a hole in a protruding flesh.I saw a black worm body lying in the meat pan.

"Gu worm!" Liang Jingyan was very sure about the origin of this worm.

Han Jiuling picked up the worm with a dagger: "It's dead."

Immediately afterwards, Liang Jingyan dug out a corpse.The facts show that all the corpses are the same, and they have this black thing Gu worm in their bodies.

"They were killed by people first, and then planted this kind of Gu insects. The Gu insects entered their bodies through a hole in their necks. There are rumors in the Jianghu that the hands behind them can control the human body through these Gu insects. And the drive of the Gu worms will make their bodies stiff and speed up, as long as the Gu worms in their bodies are well controlled, the people under control will be difficult to defeat." The light in Han Jiuling's eyes clearly shows that he is interested in this kind of Gu worms. The fear of insects.

Seeing that Han Jiuling had finished investigating, Liang Jingyan buried the body back.

After the burial, he said: "Young master, in order to investigate the corpse-controlling witchcraft in Huameng Jianghu, I checked the information about this kind of Gu insect in the Secret Pavilion."

Liang Jingyan thought back to a scroll in the secret pavilion of Hanlu Pavilion, which recorded this kind of Gu insect.

There are many files collected in Hanlu Pavilion for hundreds of years, and it is not possible to understand and record all the experiences.And Han Jiuling didn't know much at the moment, so Liang Jingyan explained part of it: "My lord, Gu worms originally came from Huameng, an ancient sect in Huameng. They used this thing for sacrifice. To confuse people's hearts and use it for oneself. A few years ago, the control method of the Gu worm fell into the hands of the Poison King Palace."

After Han Jiuling understood it, she began to analyze the current situation: "If my guess is correct, before they came here, all the people here were already dead. And these people after death were all controlled by Gu techniques. The puppets were attacked by the puppets after Pavilion Master Luo and the second prince came here."

"It seems that their way down is not easy. Within nine months, only the Poison Palace is good at using Gu, and King Xi and the owner of the Poison Palace seem to have reached a certain kind of interest relationship. Those who want to kill them so much , Could it be the King Xi?" Liang Jing asked.

Han Jiuling headed back to the inn, thinking and vetoing while walking: "As you said, Gu worms were transmitted to Wu Jiuyue by Huameng a few years ago, and Gu worms only appeared in the Poison King's Palace. There are many conflicts in the Jianghu of the Poison King's Palace. What they have mastered so far is no voodoo technique that can control corpses, and there is no one who is so good at voodoo techniques other than Ning Ba. Therefore, this time the witches controlled People who use Gu should be Huameng people."

"There should be someone who is good at Gu skills in the Poison King's Palace." Although Liang Jingyan sounded reasonable, this matter still made him think of the second person.

"Who?"

Han Jiuling stopped suddenly, and looked back at Liang Jingyan's firm expression, as if she had realized who she had missed.

"Ning Yang."
