book of troubled times

Chapter 145

The old nun carefully led Zhao Changhe to the tomb, pointed out the specific location of the tomb, and ran away holding the hem of the monk's robe.

In fact, until now, the old nun didn't know why he brought this inexplicable person for an autopsy, because Young Master Tang had a lot of face?
Young master Tang himself didn't even want to come, and he didn't introduce who this guy who can move a knife by himself is.

I always feel that since this person came here, everything has been naturally and logically led by him, as if it is only right and proper.

Not to mention that the old nun was confused, Zhao Changhe was already squatting on the tomb mound, reaching out his hand to gently insert the soil above, letting out a trace of his own evil spirit and carefully sensing it.

no response.

Zhao Changhe gritted his teeth, pulled out the dragon sparrow and started shoveling the soil.

Longque: "..."

Sisi's face was twitching, she didn't know if she was afraid of the rotten corpse inside, or she was feeling sorry for the sword.

At this time, Zhao Changhe became a little scary in her eyes, and Sisi already regretted why she got involved with this person in the first place, she shouldn't provoke such a pervert...

Thinking about how she kissed his mouth, Sisi wished she could pick her own mouth.

Little did he know that Zhao Changhe himself was biting the bullet, this kind of thing is really different from killing people, no matter how many corpses he saw... However, the strange incident of blood demon in Gusu may be very important to his practice of blood demon. You have to probe your nose to understand.

——He doubted it very much. If it was really the result of the attack by the blood force, the corpse should not stink... It needs to be verified.

"Wipe!" Longque rubbed against the edge of the straw mat.

Zhao Changhe put away the knife, carefully scraped away the soil, and frowned at the stinking corpse.

The corpse is so rotten that the face can no longer be distinguished, and the original wound can no longer be seen. Disgusting is disgusting, but it doesn't seem to matter if you really accept this setting... The problem now is that Zhao Changhe has never studied forensic medicine. Any traces on the corpse were of no reference to him, he was only here to sense the evil spirit.

However, the single evil spirit does not exist at all.

It shouldn't.

In the field of Xuanguan practice, Zhao Changhe dared to say that no one knew the power of blood evil better than himself, not even Master Xue.Because no one in the entire Blood God Cult practiced the Blood Fiend Kung Fu as a basic skill. When encountering a blood fiend attack, they would use the Blood Stabilizing Pill to eliminate it directly. Later, they switched to the Blood God Kung Fu, and the touch of evil spirits became less and less .

Their ability to withstand, resist, and understand the power of blood evil is indeed not at the same level as Zhao Changhe.

Why did Zhao Changhe think that the corpse might not stink?Because based on his experience of evil spirits, the existence of such a ferocious, violent and even anti-aggressive subject should not completely disappear with the death of a person. There must be residual evil spirits overflowing around the body, making the soil dry and barren, All creatures in the nearby soil should die, and creatures such as maggots probably won't survive.

Even after more than ten days, the evil spirit gradually dissipated and began to rot normally again, but this corpse seemed to have been decomposing for half a month. From the performance of this corpse, especially the surrounding area, it is completely impossible to see that there was any evil spirit in the past. No sign, not a whit.

Is it because all the evil spirit has entered Lu Shaoxiong's body?Is that evil spirit or evil essence?

Or because... this is not evil spirit at all, the first deceased never had evil spirit!

"Ouch!" There was a sound of vomiting from the side, Zhao Changhe came to his senses, and Sisi vomited beside him, extremely miserable: "Master, please spare me, it's so disgusting..."

"No..." Zhao Changhe asked strangely, "Why did you poke your head over to see when you're full?"

Sisi vomited so stiffly, oh well...I also want to find the treasure of evil spirits, can I tell you?
She pretended to continue to vomit and was out of breath, and it took a long time to find an excuse: "I took a look out of curiosity, and it stinks..."

"Okay." Zhao Changhe shoveled the soil back and filled it up again, got up and stretched: "Let's go, we got nothing."

Sisi followed closely behind, complaining: "Just say that a rotting corpse is nothing to look at, so I have to come!"

"Hmm." Zhao Changhe looked around at the scenery, heard the faint roar in the distance, and said with a chuckle, "So they let us watch."

Sisi: "?"

"Hey, Sisi..."

"what?"

"You have been in the Tang family for a long time, so you should know the distribution of power in Gusu, right? What kind of family is the Lu family?"

Si Sidan lowered her head in pain, why have I been here for so long, I was still kissing you a few days ago.Fortunately, she arrived in Gusu two days earlier than Zhao Changhe, and she has a general understanding of the basic situation: "The Lu family is a big family second only to the Tang family. Lu Shaoxiong is just one of the sons, and there are still many masters in the family. The Patriarch is even a master of the Nine Heavens."

"I don't remember that there is a list of people whose surname is Lu."

"...The Tang family is only the head of the Tang family, and he is not at home." Sisi was really worried that Zhao Changhe would start asking questions from other families again, so 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, ask a little maid what she knows!"

"Whether each family has hidden masters or not, no one knows, but if my guess is not wrong, maybe there will be dye-sha madmen in the city one after another..."

Sisi was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask, when she heard someone running on the street telling each other: "Have you heard? The third son of the Gu family has also gone mad!"

There was an uproar in the street, and many people were asking: "No way! Did Mr. Gu go to see Mr. Lu and get infected?"

"I don't know. Why didn't those nuns get infected? Oh, even if it was the person that Mr. Lu killed before, there must be a source for the infection, right?"

"Is there another place where it is infected? Where did the third son go before?"

"What else do those young masters do besides looking for flowers and asking willows every day? Don't tell me that this thing is actually a disease of willows, right?"

"God knows!"

The two walked slowly across the street amidst the hot discussions in the streets and alleys. Sisi looked at Zhao Changhe as if she was looking at a god: "Master, master, how do you know?"

"Oh, isn't this normal? Since the first person is infected, there must be a second one. If the source is not found, it will definitely continue to spread. Why are you thinking like Tang Buqi?"

Sisi: "..."

She didn't believe that Zhao Changhe made the judgment because of this, he must have discovered something.

Sisi was so angry that her teeth itch, everyone watched it together, why didn't she notice it?By the way, didn't you not see my identity, did you really think I was a maid?So what's wrong with talking to your maid about the inside story?

Is it because the maid who was just accepted is not trustworthy enough?
She brewed her emotions for a while, made a flattering smile, and said in a friendly voice: "Master..."

Zhao Changhe looked at her with a half-smile: "Huh?"

"Where are we going now? Master, are you tired? Do you want Sisi to squeeze your shoulders? Sisi's shoulders are very comfortable..."

"Well, I don't want to pinch shoulders for now." Zhao Changhe said leisurely, "Isn't it bad luck to have just dug a grave? I have to go back and take a shower, do you want to serve me?"

Sisi was silly there.

Then, as if thinking of something, he secretly glanced at the bird on Zhao Changhe's back, bowed his head shyly, "That's what Sisi should do."

Zhao Changhe almost didn't laugh out loud, and quickened his pace with a strange smile on his face.

"Master, wait for me!" Sisi Pidiandian chased after her, acting more and more into the play.

Zhao Changhe stopped suddenly, but Sisi just brushed past him. Puzzled, she stopped and turned her head to take a look, only to see Zhao Changhe sparrow unsheathed and slashed at her behind.

A black shadow circled a very chic arc, avoided the knife, landed on the side eaves, and said in shock: "Brother Zhao, I have no malicious intentions, and none of them are aimed at you. You are so vigilant." It's just...too heavy."

It was Ji Chengkong.

Zhao Changhe put the knife back into its sheath, and said calmly: "Walking on the rivers and lakes, I don't have any vigilance, the grave grass is three feet high...Brother Ji suddenly approached my maid, what do you want?"

Ji Chengkong looked Sisi up and down, thoughtfully: "The back looks like an acquaintance, come and take a closer look... Since she is Brother Zhao's maid, I may have misunderstood him, sorry."

Sisi's heart was in her throat, but Zhao Changhe waved his hands indifferently: "Since it's a misunderstanding, forget it, why did Brother Ji come to Gusu?"

Ji Chengkong said unhappily: "I went to Yangzhou and Gusu originally to find someone, but I just fell into the hands of you and Wan Dongliu because my hands were itchy and I loved stealing things."

Zhao Changhe said: "I don't know what rules your family has? Does stealing depend entirely on preference, or do you also accept missions, for example, if I hire you to steal something?"

Ji Chengkong laughed: "First of all, it depends on whether the employer is pleasing to the eye, and secondly, whether the stolen things are interesting. If a random passer-by asks me to steal boring money, then I have to steal his money first, and it's a bad idea." fun."

Zhao Changhe found it quite interesting: "What about me?"

"You..." Ji Chengkong took a look at him, and said with a smile: "Based on the few words on the road the day before yesterday, you can do it, it depends on what you are stealing."

Zhao Changhe looked around and whispered in his ear: "Steal information about the Lu family, such as whether there is a heavily guarded forbidden area, and if so, do you need a token or a password to enter the forbidden area, or can you only rely on your face... This information, Ji Ji Brother, are you interested?"

Sisi listened with her ears open, Zhao Changhe pushed her back and pushed her aside.

Sisi: "..."

Ji Chengkong thought for a while: "I'm interested in finding out about the secrets, but the Lu family is a bit boring... What interesting things can a family that is not even top-notch in the region have?"

"Uh, what if I say that there might be a young master in the Lu family stealing the stepmother?"

Ji Chengkong clapped his hands vigorously: "I did it!"

Zhao Changhe stuffed a silver ticket with a smile: "This is a deposit, whether you can find out the news or not, it belongs to Brother Ji. If you really find out something, come to the Tang family to find me at that time, and there will be more thank you gifts offer."
