Zhu Xiucai touched a strand of beard on his chin and analyzed it.
"I suspect that you, Lao Liao, were already exposed by the Corpse Raising Demon Dao when you were pretending to be traveling businessmen to spy on information. He didn't kill you at that time. He probably thought that you were here to investigate the apparition of the Dragon King Temple.
"
When Cui Youyou heard this, he asked in confusion: "But investigating the manifestations of the Dragon King Temple, isn't it just investigating him?"
"It doesn't count." Zhu Xiucai shook his head.
"We know that the Dragon King Temple is related to the corpse-raising demon Tao because the human-skin ghost drum complained about injustice, because the old Taoist method allowed adults to see the memory of the ghost of the married woman before she died. But at that time, the human-skin ghost drum was not abnormal.
, it is impossible for the corpse-raising demon to have the ability to predict the future. He knew early on that we would pin this case on him."
"It makes some sense." Cui Youwei nodded, and then asked: "But what does this have to do with him not killing Lao Liao and others?"
"Don't worry, I'm going to talk about it soon."
Zhu Xiucai licked his chapped lips and continued his analysis:
"During this period, there was a drought in Mianyuan County, and there was no water everywhere. Only the Dragon King Temple Fair in Shuanggui Village showed up to provide water. This matter had long been spread throughout the country.
The Demon Cultivator must know that once word spreads about the appearance of the Dragon King, it will lead to an investigation by the Demon Suppression Department, so he is not surprised when the night watchman comes to ask about the Dragon King Temple.
According to normal procedures, when our Demon Suppression Department investigates cases involving 'spiritual apparitions', we will often be very cautious and launch a series of investigations to see whether the apparition is a real god or a demon pretending to be a god.
This process will consume a lot of time. For the corpse-raising demon, what he wants now is probably time!
So instead of killing the old Liao people and triggering a comprehensive investigation and suppression by the Demon Suppression Department, he might as well have used a poison to make the old Liao people become the nails he planted in the Demon Suppression Department so that he can control our dynamics at any time.
…”
Not only Cui Yougui, but everyone nodded after hearing this.
Regardless of Zhu Xiucai's usual idleness, once he gets serious, he is very trustworthy in terms of his logical thinking and ability to do things.
Zhu Xiucai did not get carried away. He continued to burn his brain and analyze:
"Later, Lao Liao sent a paper crane talisman to the adults to report the situation. The corpse-raising demon Dao probably snooped on the content through the Gu insects, and thus knew that we were on the way to get married.
Immediately afterwards, the ghost of the wedding dress beat the human skin drum and cried out for injustice. He was probably aware of it, so when he found out that the incident was exposed, he was afraid that we would hinder him from cultivating the corpse demon, so he drove the walking corpses to set up an ambush halfway.
At this moment, although he had the opportunity to kill the old Liaos, there was no point in killing them, so he simply kept the old Liaos and used them to create chaos for us, so there was the situation where the old Liaos were bewitched just now.
The insect controlled the sneak attack on you..."
Although these were just Zhu Xiucai's speculations, after careful consideration, everyone felt that the whole thing might actually develop like this.
Zhu Xiucai paused for a while, took a breath, and then said: "I must admit that the consideration of this zombie cultivator is still very careful and careful. It's a pity that he first failed to calculate that the ancestor would go to Mianyuan today.
Anjia, the county demon secretary, suppressed his ability to control the human-skinned ghost drum, allowing the wedding ghost to come out to complain and report the injustice. At the same time, he underestimated our adults' strength and sense of danger, which made Lao Liao and the others
Not only did his sneak attack fail, but it also took advantage of these sub-gu he raised..."
When talking about Zi Gu, Zhu Xiucai couldn't help but glance at Qin Shaoyou's hand.
Although he couldn't see the hairspring extracted by Qin Shaoyou, he could see that the condition of these sub-gu was not as good as before.
There is quite a feeling of ‘no more, really not a drop left’.
This made Zhu Xiucai couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously touched his waist, feeling that his master was really scary...
Thinking that he had offended Qin Shaoyou before, Zhu Xiucai felt even more guilty.
So after swallowing his saliva, he flattered Qin Shaoyou with a smile on his face.
"Old Liao and the others were able to survive. Of course, the miracle doctor and the Taoist played a big role, but the key is that we adults noticed something was wrong with them in time and discovered that they were controlled by gossamers and Gu insects. Speaking of which, I must
I have to praise you, sir, your performance tonight can be described as digging your son in his grave..."
"WTF?"
Qin Shaoyou's face was full of black lines after hearing this.
Digging a son in his son's grave? Are you sure this is a compliment?
Zhu Xiucai saw the change in Qin Shaoyou's expression and did not dare to show off. He smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Dig (jue) dig (jue) son!"
Qin Shaoyou became more and more speechless.
What a damn digger...where did this scholar learn all his dirty talk?
At this time, he finally took out all the hairspring from Zi Gu.
Zi Gu, who had no hairspring, was still alive, but all his energy and energy had been exhausted. He resigned to his fate in Qin Shaoyou's hands and remained motionless, quite a bit like "Destroy it, I'm tired."
Qin Shaoyou was not polite and directly crushed all these sub-gu to death, leaving only a few to feed and continue to draw silk.
On the one hand, he didn't know how to raise a child Gu, and he had just asked Cui Youxuan, and he knew that these child Gu were mother's treasures, and once the contact with the mother was cut off, they could only survive for a day or two at most.
Without the mother Gu, he wouldn't be able to raise her even if he wanted to.
On the other hand, Qin Shaoyou could see clearly that Zi Gu's butt had been whipped badly by him.
Even if it can be fed, it will probably not produce silk in the future. It is better to crush it to death and use it as food. When you return, make a meal for the statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch and put Gu worms on the tree.
At the same moment, the night watchman sent by Zhu Xiucai to Shuanggui Village to spy on information returned.
According to the reports of these night watchmen, the Dragon King Temple was quiet and there was no movement at all.
"No movement? Could it be that the bride was taken away?" Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but frowned.
Liao Yaosuo speculated: "Could it be that he fell asleep? We have been standing outside Shuanggui Village and did not see the fog or any strange movements."
Qin Shaoyou muttered: "The fog is not the key. There should be other ways for the corpse-raising demon to abduct the bride. Even the fog may be just a cover-up he uses to shield the eyes of the bride and the villagers to avoid the location of the underground palace.
exposed.”
Zhu Xiucai nodded in agreement: "It is indeed possible. Judging from the series of arrangements for raising corpse demons, his personality is quite similar to yours, sir. They are both relatively...ahem, more cautious.
Moreover, the brides he killed were most likely to be enslaved and became ghosts, walking corpses, or even human skin ghost drums and other evil things, so he had to prevent these brides from being captured by the people of the Demon Suppression Department.
, interrogate the whereabouts of the underground palace where he kept his corpse."
Qin Shaoyou nodded slightly and thought: "If you want to put it that way, that underground palace is probably very important for him to raise his corpse."
When Cui Youyi heard this, he finally found an opportunity to show off his professionalism, and hurriedly said: "It is true, raising corpses has very high requirements on the environment and Feng Shui. But judging from the memory of the ghost in the wedding dress, that
The underground palace is probably the tomb of a prince. It is said that the feng shui of such tombs is very good, and zombies should not be raised. There is probably something wrong somewhere..."
"What is going on in the Dragon King Temple? We can't come up with any guesses here. Why don't we go in and take a look."
Qin Shaoyou looked at Shuanggui Village under the dark night and made a decision.
"When Lao Liao and the others were controlled by the Gu insects just now, the corpse-raising demon Dao didn't take advantage of the chaos to kill him. It was definitely not because of his kindness, but because he was entangled in certain things and couldn't take action to deal with us. This is a big problem for us.
Chance. Maybe we can find clues in the Dragon King Temple and track him all the way to the underground palace where he raised his corpse."
Everyone accepted the order in unison, and Zhu Xiucai and Cui Youwei even volunteered to be the vanguard and enter the Dragon King Temple to inquire about the situation.
Seeing that the morale was available, Qin Shaoyou was very pleased, but he did not rush to order the departure. Instead, he said: "Don't be anxious. Before entering the Dragon King Temple, we have to do one thing first..."
