Chapter 82: The workshop captures Lingmu disciples
Zhang Sui and his party walked towards Kong Wei's residence.
Jiang Zhen introduced the situation inside to several people and said: "The owner of this place, Kong Wei, is a pie crust maker and is somewhat famous in this area. Today at noon, an old customer came to pick up the goods and found corpses lying on the floor of Kong Wei's residence.
, mostly from surrounding neighbors, and some unidentified people, immediately reported to the police.
After we arrived, we inspected and found that the time of death of these people should be around early this morning. The dead neighbors were from several nearby households, and their whole families were here, so no one noticed that these people were missing at dawn. Moreover, these people
There were scars of torture all over his body.
Others were unidentified people who did not have any injuries on their bodies, but looked frightened before they died. Some say they died of liver and gallbladder damage due to excessive fright.
Judging from the distribution of corpses in the courtyard, the surrounding neighbors must have been captured by this group of unidentified people and were tortured extremely cruelly before death. Then something happened that scared the unidentified people to death.
But the owner of this place, Kong Wei, is nowhere to be seen."
Zhang Sui and others entered the courtyard. The originally orderly courtyard was now in a mess. The corpses had been carried aside, but there were still many bloodstains on the ground.
The bodies of those who had been tortured to death and those of unidentified bodies were placed separately.
Zhang Sui stepped forward and took a look at the corpses that had been tortured to death. Many of the faces were somewhat familiar. He had seen them at the door when he came to visit Kong Wei last time.
Especially one of the tall middle-aged men. Zhang Sui remembered that Kong Wei called him Uncle Wang. At this time, Uncle Wang's body was covered with scars, especially nine of the ten fingers on his hands were cut off, and one of his eyes was gouged out.
Out of sight, the other one's eyes were wide open with anger, and his face was full of pain.
Zhang Sui sighed secretly and reached out to touch his eyelids, but it had no effect at all. Uncle Wang still stared and refused to close his eyes.
Zhang Sui whispered: "Uncle, don't worry, I will find the murderer, avenge everyone, and find Kong Wei."
After speaking, a trace of merit power from his fingertips was introduced into Uncle Wang's forehead. Uncle Wang's face relaxed and his eyes slowly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Zhang Sui went to see the uninjured people, and used medical techniques directly on the corpse of a strong man, displaying the words: "Dead from split liver and gallbladder"!
Among these corpses with no external injuries, Zhang Sui unexpectedly found two familiar people. After careful consideration, they were the two old women who were kicked out by Kong Wei when she came to visit them.
Zhang Sui waved to Jiang Zhen who was on the side, and said to Jiang Zhen who was walking over quickly: "Check these two old women, they should be from the clothing store, and see if there are any clues."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhen nodded and gave some instructions to the green-clothed guards beside him, who immediately turned and left.
Zhang Sui looked at the other unidentified people, and suddenly felt a breath of the power of doom. Following the breath, he came to one of the corpses, and used the scabbard in his hand to poke a small bag on the man's waist.
Lao Lu on the side quickly stepped forward, took off his brocade bag, opened it and handed it to Zhang Sui.
Zhang Sui took a look and saw that the kit contained a red crystal that resembled an eyeball. Zhang Sui touched the crystal lightly with his right hand and absorbed the power of calamity in it. The brilliance of the crystal that lost the power of calamity quickly dimmed.
After a few breaths, the originally hard crystal eyeball turned into a living human eyeball!
The faces of everyone on the side became a little ugly when they saw this.
Zhang Sui looked at the eyeballs with a gloomy face and remained silent. He took the eyeballs directly from Lao Lu, came to Uncle Wang and squatted down, carefully placing the eyeballs into the empty eye sockets.
Standing up, Zhang Sui closed his eyes and recited silently in his heart: The four words "Lingmu Cultist" appeared in three or four places within the entire consciousness, all in Kunzhou City.
Zhang Sui opened his eyes suddenly and said to Dong Kuo in a cold voice: "Bring me a map of Kunzhou Prefecture!"
Upon hearing this, Dong Kuo immediately ordered his men to present a marching map without asking for the reason. The map described Kunzhou Prefecture in extremely detail.
Zhang Sui waved his sleeves, swept aside the items on the long table in the courtyard, and laid out the map on the long table.
Everyone gathered around, Zhang Sui marked four locations on the map, and said to everyone: "These four places are related to the unidentified people today. If I am not mistaken, they should all be monsters from the Lingmu Sect."
.”
When Dong Kuo and Jiang Zhen heard the words "Lingmu Sect", their expressions changed greatly. It can be said that the Lingmu Sect and the two of them had a blood feud.
Dong Kuo's two nephews and Jiang Zhen's father both died because of the Lingmu Cult.
Dong Kuo immediately said: "I will inform my father right away and send out the Wuwei Army. Cheng Di is also in my house at this time. I will also ask him to send out the Tsing Yi Guards to kill all these guys."
Jiang Zhen on the side also nodded and said: "Our leader has been tracking the Lingmu Sect for many years, but there has been no clue. I will go with you to inform them."
With that said, the two of them were about to leave, but Zhang Sui stopped them and said: "These Lingmu believers are different from ordinary bandits, there must be practitioners among them.
There are four Lingmu believers here. I am in charge of one. I will tell someone later to inform Commander Fu of the Qingluan Army to take charge of the other. After you return to the mansion, it is best for the master to ask the master Yinglie Taoist priest and Mr. Meng to help.
Take those in the remaining two places."
As he spoke, he assigned responsible persons to the four locations on the map and made an appointment to do it together, so that the Lingmu believers would not be able to communicate with each other and leak the news. Although Zhang Sui had a way to find them, it would definitely save trouble.
Better. Dong Kuo nodded in agreement.
Dong Kuo said: "Master Zhang, I will leave two teams of troops to follow your orders. Although they cannot provide much assistance in terms of combat power, they can also help block roads and run errands."
Zhang Sui nodded in agreement, and Dong Kuo directly ordered his two deputies and subordinates to wait for Zhang Sui's orders. He turned around to say hello to Zhang Sui, and said goodbye to Jiang Zhen and returned to the city lord's palace.
Zhang Sui watched the two men hurriedly mount their horses and gallop away. He turned around and said to Lao Lu beside him: "Take Vice General Zhou back to Zhang's Mansion to meet Commander Fu and tell her what happened here.
Take my token and say that I asked her to send troops to help capture those spiritual eye believers, and be careful of those who practice."
With that said, he handed the folding fan inserted in his waist to Lao Lu. Lao Lu took the folding fan and looked at Zhang Sui with some worry: "Then the second master is going to take those ordinary Wuwei troops to capture those guys?"
Zhang Sui smiled but did not answer. With a wave of his sword finger, the sword from his waist came out of its sheath and flew into the night sky. A deep cold air passed through the sky. Snowflakes suddenly appeared and fell one after another. The falling snow
The scope is only one foot around the old road.
Lao Lu reached out and took a few snowflakes. The coldness penetrated his bones, and his palms were immediately frozen. Lao Lu hurriedly stepped out of the snowy area, shook off the snowflakes in his hand, and looked at Zhang Sui in amazement.
Zhang Sui smiled and said: "Don't worry now!"
Lao Lu nodded repeatedly and praised: "Youde said that you saved them with a single blow of your sword. I didn't believe it yet, but now I believe it."
After saying that, Lao Lu looked solemn and said: "Even so, the second master should be more careful and not be careless. The second master should also worry more about the whereabouts of Sister Kong Wei."
Zhang Sui nodded and did not tell Lao Lu that the possibility of finding Kong Wei was unlikely at the current situation. Let's wait until we capture those Spirit Eye cultists!
Lao Lu called to the side Lieutenant General Zhou who was left behind by Dong Kuo, and the group went out, mounted their horses, and headed towards Zhang Mansion.
Zhang Sui waved his hand, and the sword flashed with cold light in the night sky. The sword was directly sheathed and let out a sword cry.
Only Dong Zhi and another deputy general named Gong were left with Zhang Sui.
Zhang Sui said to Dong Zhi, who looked at him with a shocked expression: "Brother Dong, please go back first. I will try my best to investigate the matter of Sister Kong Wei. If there is any news, I will let Lao Lu notify you as soon as possible."
Dong Zhi nodded somewhat cautiously, not knowing what to say. He bowed his hands, turned and walked out of the courtyard. Zhang Sui looked at his expression, sighed secretly, and said nothing more.
Vice General Gong stood aside with a respectful look on his face, waiting for Zhang Sui's dispatch.
Zhang Sui said to him: "We are not very far from the Lingmu cult. It's still early to start. I'll check here first."
Vice Admiral Gong nodded in agreement.
Zhang Sui walked into the small hall and found that the two bedrooms were also messy and seemed to have been turned over.
Several small wood-carved snow rabbits hanging on the door curtain of a bedroom with colorful threads were also torn to the ground. Most of them were trampled to pieces. Only one fell in the corner and remained intact.
Zhang Sui stepped forward, picked up the complete snow rabbit, wiped off the dust on it, and Kong Wei's beautiful eyes full of tears and sadness appeared in front of him.
Zhang Sui sighed and put the wooden snow rabbit into his sleeve.
Zhang Sui sat down in the small hall, closed his eyes and said nothing, secretly practicing the art of guidance to accumulate some spiritual power for the next action.
Unknowingly, it was Haishi. Vice General Gong came to the small hall and was about to call Zhang Sui, who had closed his eyes. Zhang Sui suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were shining, which startled Vice General Gong.
Vice General Gong quickly bowed his hands and said, "Master Zhang, it's almost time for the agreed action."
Zhang Sui nodded, stood up, stretched, and said, "Let's go too!"
After saying that, he walked out of the small hall and looked at the tortured corpses on the ground, and a feeling of hostility slowly rose in his heart.
Walking out of the courtyard, a group of soldiers were waiting with their horses. When they saw Zhang Sui and Vice General Gong coming out, they gave a military salute. Vice General Gong said solemnly: "Get on the horse and block the streets as planned. Send a signal to contact us if there is any situation!"
Everyone got on their horses, Zhang Sui took the lead, and the group ran towards a workshop in the southwest corner of Kunzhou City.
The sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the night, and waves of curses came from the residences on both sides of the street along the way.
Zhang Sui was a little worried about alerting those spiritual-eyed believers. Lieutenant General Gong on the side was very observant and saw Zhang Sui's expression. He quickly said: "Master Zhang, don't worry about alerting those guys. Our Wuwei Army always runs like this when patrolling at night. Stay here."
People on both sides of the street curse several times every night, and I'm used to hearing these curses.
We patrol the place we are going to several times every night, so we should be used to the sound of our horses' hooves and won't be disturbed."
Zhang Sui was a little speechless. Is it okay to disturb the people so blatantly? He was a little lucky that his residence was not on the roadside, otherwise he would easily suffer from neurasthenia.
It only took less than a moment for the group of people to arrive near the workshop. After the sergeants dismounted, they blocked several street entrances, and a few skilled sergeants climbed directly to the tops of several nearby tall buildings.
Watching the workshop under the moonlight.
Zhang Sui did not get off his horse. He closed his eyes and determined the location and number of Lingmu believers here. The technique of recognizing the ground showed that there were fifteen Lingmu believers, and everyone was gathered in a workshop of some size.
, but very scattered.
Zhang Sui said to Vice General Gong: "I will go in alone later. You guys will be on guard outside. Just send a signal if necessary."
Vice General Gong nodded in agreement.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, a firework rose in the eastern sky of Kunzhou City. Seeing this, Zhang Sui knew that it was time to take action, so he said hello to Vice Admiral Gong and rode towards the workshop.
There was no obstruction along the way, and he came directly to the gate of the workshop where the Lingmu believers were entrenched.
Zhang Sui got off his horse, walked to the door, and politely clicked the copper ring on the door.
Not long after, there was a sound of footsteps coming from inside, and an impatient voice sounded: "Who is it? It's so late, the workshop has finished work, come back tomorrow if you have something to do!"
Zhang Sui ignored the words and slammed the copper ring several times.
The person inside the door came to the door, a little alert, and asked again: "Who is it?"
Zhang Sui stared at the Lingmu believers who had gathered together in his mind, and said, "Check the water meter!"
After saying that, without waiting for the people inside to react, the sword energy in the hand pressed against the door surged wildly, and the door fell towards the man. The person at the door did not react at all, and was directly hit by the flying door panel.
After walking more than ten feet away, blood spurted from his mouth and he fell to the ground.
Zhang Sui stepped into the door, and the Spirit Eye believers had already gathered not far from the door on alert when Zhang Sui knocked on the door.
At this time, seeing the ferocity of the intruder, the inquiring person had already fallen to the ground, and most of the remaining people fled in all directions.
Zhang Sui snorted coldly, and the sword in his hand made a long roar. It was like a silver dragon swimming in the moonlight, carrying a bone-piercing chill, and nailed the fleeing Spiritual Eyes believers to the ground one by one.
Zhang Sui was very measured and only injured their legs. The cold air froze half of their bodies when they fell to the ground, making them unable to move.
Zhang Sui counted the numbers silently in his mind, and soon thirteen people fell to the ground. Two others did not escape, but stood calmly on the spot.
Zhang Sui's first priority was to injure those who were running away. After those people had fallen to the ground, Zhang Sui wanted to take down the remaining two people in one go. Unexpectedly, when the flying sword hit the two people, one of them took out a
The short blade directly blocked Zhang Sui's flying sword, and even the cold air on the sword had little effect on him.
Zhang Sui narrowed his eyes and his heart moved. The flying sword returned to him and was grabbed by him. He began to carefully look at the two people in front of him.
These two Lingmu believers were obviously different from those who fell to the ground. There was a clear difference in their clothing.
The person who opened the box and flew the sword slowly took back the short blade in his hand and said, "Who are you? Why did you hurt us for no reason?"
Zhang Suidao: "Lingmu Sect?"
The two people were stunned and looked at each other. The person who had not taken action said: "Did you admit the wrong person? We are just people doing business here and know some tricks. We are not members of any sect."
Zhang Sui sneered and said, "If I hadn't investigated thoroughly, how could I have come to your door?"
The man shook his head in denial and was about to speak when suddenly three strange-shaped fireworks appeared in the distant sky. Seeing this, the faces of the two men changed drastically. They turned around and stared at Zhang Sui fiercely. One of them said: "It seems like it's true."
You came here to teach me, but I can’t figure it out. How did you discover our existence? Can fellow Taoists explain it to me?”
Zhang Sui said in a deep voice: "My Yifang, Kong Wei!"
When the two heard this, their expressions changed!
