Chapter 796 Madam, have you never seen such a soul?
The tiger fell.
The Tianling Cap fell in the distance, revealing a sin karma that was more than a foot long.
This tiger's sinful karma is less than two feet tall.
A third-grade judge cannot directly kill someone whose crime is two feet below.
But in the situation just now, there was no choice. The tiger could not be kept, Ling Zheng was unwilling to take action against the tiger, and there was no other helper available here.
Let's deal with special matters and report it to Master then and see how he handles it.
Xu Zhiqiong took away the tiger's sinful karma. The sinful karma was beating violently, and the soul inside was very powerful.
Xu Zhiqiong fell into deep thought as he mentioned his crime.
This tiger has practiced four Taoist sects, so it stands to reason that his spiritual intelligence should be extremely high.
But judging from the situation of the battle just now, the tiger made a series of stupid moves, and before dying, it was still trying to use the power of the dragon's anger to force Xu Zhiqiong to bow his head.
This made Xu Zhiqiong wonder whether this tiger was intelligent?
The power of the dragon's wrath is obviously ineffective, but the tiger is still stubbornly resisting without any flexibility.
In the final stage of the fight, Xu Zhiqiong felt that the tiger was fighting completely according to the instinct of the beast.
After collecting his karma, Xu Zhiqiong asked Ling Zhengze to tie up all the ghosts, set up a magic circle to trap the ghosts, and the two began to explore the cave.
The cave was very deep, and Xu Zhiqiong was worried that there might be a trap, so he opened the Eye of Sin to see if there was any remnant of Qi in it.
After turning it on for a moment, Xu Zhiqiong turned off the pupil of sinful karma, only feeling that the power of the image was a bit consumed.
The consumption of the Eye of Sin has indeed increased a lot recently, but it is also much sharper than before.
Ling Zhengze said from the side: "Brother Liu, I still think you are a bit reckless. This tiger is absolutely extraordinary and its intelligence is far beyond ordinary people. I'm worried that its origins are extraordinary."
Xu Zhiqiong asked in surprise: "Do you still think it is more intelligent than ordinary people?"
"Didn't Brother Liu see that this tiger's fighting skills are almost perfect? How can ordinary people do it?"
Xu Zhiqiong was even more puzzled: "You keep getting confused, but you still say it's perfect?"
Ling Zhengze was also surprised: "How can it be said that it was a faint move? You see, it first uses the flame array to prevent the enemy from getting close. If the enemy comes close forcibly, it uses the power of dragon anger to force the enemy to lower their heads.
When the enemy bows its head, it can use its dragon scales to protect itself, or it can use its dragon scales to fight back, or it can use its subtle skills to predict the enemy's next move, but do you think this tactic is not comprehensive enough?"
That being said, this is really the truth.
Ling Zhengze also missed one point. If the power of the dragon's anger can really make me bow my head, the tiger can also use his army-building skills to force the demon to come and fight.
From this point of view, its tactics are indeed perfect, but the last-minute response is really ineffective.
Ling Zhengze sighed: "Presumably this tiger has never seen the judge, and does not know that the power of the dragon's anger is not effective against the judge, so it repeatedly forced you to bow, and therefore made a miscalculation.
If it were any other sect, its tactics would be foolproof.
And I didn’t expect that Brother Liu, you could also master the art of chaos. You are a judge, and you also cultivate Yin and Yang, and you also cultivate the Tao of Chaos and Impermanence. This kind of cultivation is really rare."
"It never hurts to learn more."
Lingzheng has good eyesight and can even distinguish confusion techniques.
Fortunately, he didn't realize that this confusion technique was fake.
The two of them walked to the end of the cave, and saw a hill between the spacious cave, a hill made of piles of bones.
Apart from this hill, there is nothing else in the cave.
Could it be that all Yuan Chengfeng’s belongings are hidden in this Bone Mountain?
Xu Zhiqiong and Ling Zheng rummaged through the Bone Mountain from top to bottom, but there was nothing inside except bones, bones.
Ling Zhengze thought for a long time and said: "I think there must be a mystery in these bones. Brother Liu, please take all these bones away."
"There are so many mysteries, let's leave them to Brother Ling. Can they be worth five thousand taels of silver?"
Ling Zhengze laughed dryly and said: "Brother Liu is joking, maybe those belongings are hidden on the tiger, let's go look for it on the corpse."
The two men came out of the cave and dissected the tiger's body.
Seeing the flesh and blood on the ground, a group of demons were so frightened that they cried and howled.
But still nothing was found among the corpses.
Ling Zhengze sighed and said, "Why don't we search again on this mountain, or maybe there is something hidden in the village."
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the crowd of scoundrels and said, "It doesn't matter, after I interrogate them, there will definitely be some clues about this matter."
Ling Zhengze rubbed his hands and said, "Although we haven't gained anything from this trip yet, we have agreed on this business in advance."
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Brother Ling, don't worry, I will never lose your money."
After saying this, Xu Zhiqiong took a group of scoundrels to the Punishment Department, then returned immediately, divided the money twice, and brought in 10,000 taels of silver.
"Brother Ling, fifty taels of silver, a total of two hundred ingots."
Ling Zhengze looked around: "These barren mountains and ridges..."
Xu Zhiqiong cupped his fists and said, "Brother Ling, see you later!"
After saying that, Xu Zhiqiong disappeared.
Ling Zhengze looked at the money all over the ground and said angrily: "Isn't this a joke? How can I move back to this barren mountain with ten thousand taels of silver!"
…
Xu Zhiqiong led a group of scoundrels into the Evil Punishment Department, called Xia Hu and Zhao Baijiao, and asked them to assist him while he interrogated them personally.
He focused on interrogating He Sanniang, Li Zheng and the village's Jinxiu pen official. He used mantras several times to find out the whole story.
In Anjin County, although Tieshuan Village is remote, it is still a large village because it is the only village within a radius of dozens of miles.
Six years ago, a wealthy man came to the village and said he wanted to build a house on the hillside and hire a laborer for two ounces a month.
According to Xu Zhiqiong's inference, this wealthy man should have been sent by Yuan Chengfeng, and might even be Yuan Chengfeng himself.
For most villagers in Tieshuan Village, two ounces of money is an income they cannot earn in a year.
As soon as the news came out, every household rushed to do Lifu. When everyone set out to go up the mountain, only Li Zheng, Jinxiu penman and a few old and weak people who couldn't walk were left in the village.
These people who went up the mountain never came back.
Li Zheng was worried that something had happened, but did not dare to go up the mountain to check. He discussed with the Jinxiu pen official and planned to go to the county government office the next day to tell the magistrate about the matter.
Unexpectedly, that night, a tiger suddenly ran down from the middle of the mountain and killed all the remaining people in the village. Li Zheng was not spared, and only the Jinxiu pen official ran out.
The Jinxiu pen official reported the matter to the magistrate, and the magistrate came with the yamen and the Jinxiu pen official to investigate and found that the villagers were safe and sound and living their lives at home.
When Li Zheng was found, he was still alive. He said he had never seen a tiger.
The government official was furious and dragged the Jinxiu pen clerk back to the county government office and beat him half to death on the pretext of making false reports.
Seeing that the whole family was safe and sound, the official Jinxiu thought he had had a nightmare, so he took out his savings over the years and gave them to the magistrate as a filial piety.
The magistrate left, thinking that the matter would be settled. Unexpectedly, that night, Jinxiu Penlian was carried to the mountain by his wife and three concubines and fed to the tiger.
Since then, the entire Tieshuan Village has turned into ghosts.
"Didn't the government ask about your village again?"
"I asked," the Jinxiu pen official lamented. "After the autumn, the pavilion chief collected taxes, but Tieshuan Village did not pay food. He sent people to check and found that no one was in the village. The pavilion chief reported it to the county magistrate, and the magistrate sent people to the village.
There's still no one there,
After a while, several more officers came to see them, some returned alive, and some were left behind by the king. The magistrate knew that he was afraid, so he didn't dare to take care of it."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "A village will be destroyed if it is said to be gone, but the prefect of Jizhou will not care?"
Li Zhengdao: "No matter what, it's just a village. A drought, locust plague, flood, insect plague, or an epidemic will cause a village to disappear. This is nothing new. Just make up an excuse.
."
The Jinxiu pen official knows the rules of the government very well, and He Sanniang knows the rules of the tiger even better: "We have to send two people to the mountain for the king every month. As long as we pay enough, the king will not embarrass us, and there will be extra
People, just give it to us to eat,
But if we don’t pay enough, the king will punish us. Look at those few tiger cubs who serve the king every day. If we can’t hand over anyone alive, we will have to be whipped by them.
If the payment is not enough in three months, we will have to send someone to plead guilty to the king, and the king will roar and that person's soul will disperse."
According to the confessions of this group of people, they murdered more than 200 people in Tieshuan Village in six years.
Yuan Chengfeng raised a tiger and created this ghost village to protect his property.
What exactly are his possessions?
I asked this group of ghosts, but they knew nothing.
Then we can only interrogate the tiger.
Can the souls of humans and tigers communicate?
Xia Hu, a former senior promotion officer, said the problem was not big: "I have interrogated man-eating tigers."
Zhao Baijiao patted her conscience and said, "I haven't tried tigers, but I have tried bears and wolves that have eaten people. I understand the rules here!"
The so-called rule is that if a wild beast eats people by instinct, it is not guilty. If it is intentional to harm people, it is a different matter.
The two experienced judges looked at the karma in Xu Zhiqiong's hand with confidence.
Xu Zhiqiong released the tiger's soul from his sinful karma.
The soul of this tiger is very big, and the outlet for its sinful karma is very small. The soul did not come out directly, but a hand came out first.
This is the human soul!
"It's actually a hand..." Zhao Baijiao was a little unsure.
Xia Hu said: "What are you afraid of? This tiger was a human in his previous life. I have seen this kind of thing before."
Zhao Baijiao nodded and said, "I've heard of it too, but this is really the first time I've encountered it..."
"Uh~"
With a low groan, a head emerged from the soul, swaying from side to side, showing distorted facial features.
His facial features were all gathered in the center. Unlike a normal soul, his eyes were two slits, and his mouth and nose were dry holes. There was no trace of the soul's vitality and aura. His ugly and ferocious appearance made Baijiao frown.
head.
Xia Hu's cheek couldn't help but twitch.
"This ghost must have suffered a lot." Xia Hu gave a relatively reasonable explanation.
Suffering is inevitable. In order to ensure the tiger's loyalty, Yuan Chengfeng must have done something to its soul, which is consistent with Xu Zhiqiong's expectation.
"Ah~" Another low moan came out.
Strangely, the sound was different from before, it seemed a bit sharper.
Sin Karma trembled, Xu Zhiqiong thought that another hand would be stretched out, but this time he thought wrong.
Another head sticks out from the sinful karma!
Are there two dead souls involved in this crime?
wrong!
It should be counted as one...
This number is difficult to determine. Xu Zhiqiong looked along the end of his neck. The two heads seemed to grow on the same body!
Xu Zhiqiong's eyes widened, this was beyond his expectation.
Zhao Baijiao, who was usually bold, grabbed Xia Hu's hand: "Sister, what is this?"
Xia Hu comforted him and said: "This, these may be twin souls. I have never seen them before, but I have heard that Cao Yilang seems to have seen twin souls..."
The two heads were squeezed together, as if they hated each other, and they kept whispering at each other.
"Uh~"
"Ah~"
"Woo~"
Why is there another voice?
Could it be...
The horns trembled again, and another human head came out.
Looking at the end of the neck, these three heads all grow on the same body.
Zhao Baijiao got into Xia Hu's arms, and Xia Hu took a few steps back.
The corners of Xu Zhiqiong's eyes trembled, but he was no longer surprised.
He figured something out: "There should be another one."
"Grrrr..." A strange sound came, as if someone was rapidly clicking his teeth.
