Fu Dou's body was cold and hard, the flesh and blood under the fur no longer burned as hot as before, and all kinds of monsters were gone at the cost of their lives.
When Feng Chong cut open its belly, it was like cutting open an ordinary roadside dead dog.
But halfway through the execution of the knife, Feng Chong's movements suddenly froze, and he suddenly turned around and asked.
"Is this Fu Dou really the result of that Gu Laosan?"
Next to him, Bo Ziyu was puzzled and waved his hand carelessly.
"Can we still talk to you with lies?"
He pointed to the dark circles under his eyes.
"Right under my nose."
"Before this guy changed, he was still a human being. Leng Buding started shouting 'hungry', his eyes suddenly burst into flames, and with a 'boom', he turned into a monster in the blink of an eye..."
His mouth became more and more verbose as he talked. Li Changan didn't have the time to listen to his nonsense, so he asked directly.
"But something was discovered?"
Feng Chong did not explain, but cut open Fu Dou's stomach with a knife, and then peeled off the skin and flesh.
"You two, please take a look."
But when I saw my belly, there was a foul-smelling pool of blood. The large intestine, small intestine, rectum, cecum... all seemed to be growing in my belly.
Bo Ziyu's eyes widened, and Li Changan frowned.
It is normal for a monster to have intestines in its belly; but it is extremely abnormal for a monster transformed from a human to have intestines.
Based on several people's dissection of the mud demon, as well as the examination of the corpses of Xiong Gaba, Zugui and even Qian Dazhi, it was concluded early that the essence of the demon epidemic was caused by demon parasites parasitizing the human body.
But now, there is no insect in the belly of the disaster and the monster has transformed. Doesn't it mean that the previous inferences are wrong? Then, in the past few days, all the actions based on this inference are also going in the opposite direction, and the hard work is in vain?
"In the belly of the Tai Sui demon..."
Feng Chong nodded.
"There are insects."
This was also what confused him.
In this incident, one of the Gu family husband and wife turned into Tai Sui, and the other turned into a troublemaker. The cause and effect are closely related, so why does one have worms in his belly and the other does not?
Li Changan thought carefully for a while, and suddenly remembered the startling glance when Tai Sui was Zhenfu.
"When I used the Taoist Talisman to suppress Tai Sui, I saw traces of bites on her waist. At that time, Gu Laosan was also hiding in that position. I thought..."
The Taoist frowned.
"This person has no worms in his belly and turned into a demon. Is it because he gnawed the flesh and blood of the Tai Sui demon?"
After hearing this, Bo Ziyu nodded and quickly looked at Feng Chong, but after Feng Chong hesitated for a while, he shook his head.
"Probably not."
He found a basin and washed the blood off his hands.
"I have a fellow sect who often goes to Zhumen's house to collect medicine and make elixirs for the powerful. In the second year of Qianyuan, he heard that a Tai Sui plant was found somewhere in Jiannan, so he sent his disciples to collect medicine. But for more than a month,
No news came back. He had to go there in person and traveled all over the mountains and rivers. When he arrived, he found that the disciple had fallen dead beside Tai Sui.
The cause of his death turned out to be gastroschisis.
Later, my classmate took this Tai Sui plant back to the mountain gate to study, but found that it had been contaminated with evil spirits and turned into a monster. It turns out that Tai Sui, a magical medicine, can make the body light and prolong life if taken for a long time; if taken for a short term, one tablet can cure the disease for several days.
of hunger.
But after becoming a demon, the properties of the medicine are completely reversed. Eating it will not only not relieve hunger, but will make people crazy with hunger. They have to eat more, but the more they eat, the hungrier they will become, and Tai Sui itself has endless food...
My fellow disciple was bloated to death just because he was greedy for the taste of Tai Sui."
He just said this.
"Oops!"
Bo Ziyu slapped his forehead.
"The braised pork that guy sells is all made from Tai Sui meat. I don't know how many people buy it..."
"Do not worry."
Li Changan interrupted him.
"He has been selling Tai Sui Pork for more than a day or two. Many people around him have eaten it, and there hasn't been any trouble. I checked, and those who have eaten it only say they find it appetizing. This is probably because the braised pork is made by a clone, not
The original body may have also lost its medicinal properties."
"exactly."
Feng Chong also nodded and continued what he said before.
"Gu Laosan said 'hungry' when he turned into a monster. This should be due to the effect of Tai Sui medicine, but it can turn people into monsters? My classmate has studied Tai Sui thoroughly from inside to outside, but he didn't find this
Weird.”
His failure to do so only caused the three of them to fall into greater confusion.
If Tai Sui cannot transform a human into a demon, how can we explain the misfortune? If it can transform a human into a demon, where do those parasitic monsters come from? How did she herself become a monster?
When I was thinking about it and couldn't figure it out, it was a mess.
Snapped!
Bo Ziyu slapped the table.
"Isn't this easy?"
"If you just pick up a death row prisoner in prison and feed him Tai Sui meat, wouldn't it be clear to you?"
Li Changan didn't comment, but Feng Chong was furious.
"Absolutely not."
said sharply.
"This is against human ethics and must not be violated."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Bo Ziyu kept saying yes, but looking at his playful smile, it was obvious that he didn't take it to heart at all.
How could Feng Chong be so reassured? He just tried to persuade Bo Ziyu with great reasoning, which made Bo Ziyu murmur in his heart.
They all say that bald donkeys are talkative, but this Taoist priest also talks a lot - he glanced at the calm Li Changan next to him, and suddenly felt that his newly filled teeth were starting to leak again - this Taoist priest was still quick-witted, never talked nonsense, and was direct.
Take action.
This is the beginning.
There was a sudden commotion at the door and a little man came in.
Bo Ziyu felt like he was being pardoned and quickly scolded him with a straight face.
"Xiao Wuyou, didn't your family tell you not to play in this house? There are many demons and monsters in the house. You have delicate skin and tender flesh. Wouldn't it be bad if something happened?"
It's a pity that all the little Taoists don't show off their dignity.
"Pooh!"
He spat and frowned.
"It stinks so much, who can love it?"
"Someone is looking for you."
"who?"
"Zhang Erlang."
…………
"I want revenge."
In front of the three people, Zhang Shaonan looked cold and solemn.
The first sentence he spoke made Feng Chong feel a headache.
"Gu Laosan has been killed by fellow Taoist Li. As for the Gu Tian family..."
Feng Chong had learned what happened from Bo Ziyu's mouth and knew that Zhang Tong was harmed by the Gu Tian family.
But regardless of whether Gu Tian is innocent or not, she is Tai Sui herself. She is tenacious and has the ability to regenerate. She is an excellent drug test subject. How can she be killed on the spur of the moment?
"What the layman doesn't know is that many strange things in the city recently are all caused by a demonic epidemic spread by a certain culprit behind the scenes. This demonic epidemic can turn people into demons, and the Gu Tian family himself is just a poor victim. If the layman wants revenge, he can also
The newspaper is the culprit behind that."
After saying this, he was already prepared for the other party to become emotional and even to turn against him and take action.
Unexpectedly.
Zhang Shaonan just nodded calmly.
"Okay, let's find the culprit."
This result made him stunned for a while, but it was Li Changan who poked him that made him suddenly come to his senses.
"Oh, good! Infinite Heavenly Lord."
"The layman is so reasonable and reasonable, I really admire him very much. He is willing to stand up and fight against the demons with us, which can be said to be a profound righteousness. In this way, I will write a talisman for the layman later, and talk about the house. Please also invite the layman on weekdays.
Pay more attention to your surroundings, and if there is anything unusual, send someone to report it in time..."
only.
Halfway through the conversation.
"Daozhang Feng looks down on me!"
Zhang Shaonan was furious.
"I came here for revenge, not for survival. I will kill my family's enemies with my own hands. How can I hide behind others and just be a flag-waving gangster?"
These words made Feng Chong speechless for a while.
He finally heard that Zhang Erlang was not willing to be seconded to others, and planned to join the three of him in the front line of fighting against the demons.
The courage is commendable. But... isn't this seeking death?
But a close relative has just died, so it's not easy to hit someone. The words floated around your mouth for a few times, but it was hard to spit them out.
Feng Chong could only complain silently in his heart, no wonder Li Taoist had to shirk the work of dealing with others to himself before, just to prevent today?
He turned to look at his two accomplices.
Bo Ziyu had a sneer on his face, looking at his appearance, and asked him to speak, but he would definitely not be able to spit out good ivory.
As for Li Changan, although his eyes were wide open, his eyes were unfocused and he had long since wandered away.
He sighed and told the truth.
"The demons are cruel and cruel, and lay people don't know magic, so why take risks?"
Zhang Shaonan was very straightforward and pointed at Bo Ziyu without arguing.
"Why can he."
These words made Bo Ziyu furious, and he cursed on the spot.
"Gutter rat!"
Zhang Shaonan chuckled.
"Yamen Dog."
As they went back and forth, the two almost came to blows.
Feng Chong hurriedly came up to persuade him, asking Bo Ziyu to bear with him for his brother's death, and said sternly to Zhang Shaonan:
"Although Layman Bo is not proficient in magic, he has strong martial arts skills, a tough mind, and the determination to kill demons and avoid danger." The sedan chair was carried for a while, and then the conversation changed and he talked about the real reason. "Let's talk about Layman Bo's identity.
People in the government can communicate with the government and do things conveniently in the city. They can also mobilize police officers to search for traces of demons in the city and distribute pills to suppress the demon epidemic."
"Why do you, Taoist Priest, talk to me?"
Zhang Shaonan just shook his head and sneered.
"How do people do things? Don't I know? It's nothing more than delaying and passing the buck, colluding, and telling stories."
This string of words made Bo Ziyu blush and Li Changan was stunned for a moment. How come this gangster leader is so polite in his words? Could it be that his ancestors were too generous?
"Chasing the monster? Is it just asking for rumors and rumors in the market, and distributing talisman pills? I'm afraid it's an opportunity to make money. The monster can't be found, and the only way is to scare the snake away..."
At this point, Zhang Shaonan stopped abruptly. He narrowed his eyes, looked at the three of them for a while, and spoke in a confused tone.
"Are you using the catcher as bait? To lure the devil into revealing your true identity!"
"The layman is overthinking." Feng Chong shook his head and laughed, "Just like what you just said, how can you provoke demons by sending people to act like this? Even if it is a bait, the three of us should be the ones who can be the bait."
In fact, Zhang Shaonan's guess is not entirely wrong.
The demons in the city are deeply lurking, and each of the government officials is less effective than the last. The three of them are short of manpower, so how can they carefully investigate the people in the city?
Therefore, whether the government officials are looking for abnormalities, distributing pills, or allowing rumors to spread in the city, they are just trying to make a big show of their power and make the demons lose control and expose their flaws.
And since the demon takes the risk, he will definitely not waste the opportunity on the government officials below. 80% of the time he will take the initiative to find the three backbones, Li Changan, Feng Chong, and Bo Ziyu.
So for a few days, the three of them slept with a bunch of magic tools and half-open eyes, waiting for the monsters to come and have a heart-to-heart talk.
"It turns out that the light knocked on the mountain, but the tiger was not shaken. Could it be..." He looked at Bo Ziyu with a half-smile, "It's because the people who use it are not effective?"
Bo Ziyu immediately spat.
"It's a joke. If you don't rely on officials to pursue evil, could it be that you rely on city foxes and community rats?"
Zhang Shaonan was not angry and laughed.
"It is better to use walking (Harmony) dogs to look after homes and homes, but to detect people's secrets, such as changes in temperament and increase or decrease in food intake, I really have to wait for sewer snakes and wall-burrowing rats."
When it came to food intake, Li Changan knew that Zhang Shaonan also knew a lot about the demon transformation and didn't just come to the door rashly. No wonder he agreed so quickly when talking about the culprit behind the scenes. He must have heard about it or speculated about it.
Feng Chong also lowered his eyebrows and began to think.
They use the method of knocking on the mountain to shake the tiger, passively waiting for the monsters to take action, but in fact they have no choice but to do so. If they really have reliable manpower, provide reliable information, and can take the initiative to pull out the monsters hiding in the dark, why not
Why?
Feng Chong looked at his two companions.
Although Bo Ziyu is young and energetic and has never dealt with Zhang Shaonan, he is actually a person who has the overall situation in mind. Although he is angry at the moment, there is no lack of interest in his expression.
And Li Changan nodded directly.
After all, in his opinion, in today's Xiaoshui City, anyone can turn into a demon, and anyone can become the food of a demon. Everyone is in danger, and there is no need to drag anyone into trouble.
Feng Chong felt relieved and bowed to Zhang Shaonan.
"What advice does the layman have?"
"Don't take advice seriously."
Zhang Shaonan put away his frivolity and returned the gift solemnly. He knew that the other party had been persuaded by him.
