Chapter 280: An appointment with the corpse-carrying man
"Why are you telling me this?" Zhou Shi didn't have time to shed tears for the ancients.
"To tell you the truth when you are being fooled by Lu Yan and the Jiulong Hall."
Zhou Shi only found it funny. Although he was wary of Lu Yan and Jiulong Hall, it was still very funny to hear these words from the man who had almost killed him several times.
"I know you don't believe it." The little novice monk smiled slightly, raised his hand, and the battle that changed the color of the world in front of him disappeared instantly, and the two of them came to a peach forest.
"Today is different from the past. Once you have mastered the three yangs, the little unhappiness between you and me will not be an obstacle for me to form an alliance with you."
"An alliance?"
"I need the Three Yang Gui Sha in your hand, and you need my help, that's all."
Zhou Shi's brain was spinning rapidly. His Three Yang Guisha came from Budu, and Budu was a fragment stolen from the Daqing Temple. The Daqing Temple divided the complete Three Yangs Guisha into three parts. Budu had one share, and Lu
Yan has a share, Mo Lao has a share...
The evil in "Three Yang Returns to Evil" is unpredictable. It is understandable that the corpse sender covets this thing, but the problem is...
"Why are you looking for me? "Three Yangs Return to Evil" has been scattered all over the world, and I only have fragments of it."
"Haha, I have my own considerations, you don't have to worry about it."
Seeing that there was no news, Zhou Shi changed the subject: "You said I need your help? Why?"
He thought that the corpse bearer would offer various benefits, such as some secret magic power to seduce him, or even threaten his life.
Unexpectedly, the corpse-carrying man said:
"Have you met General Five Plagues?"
Zhou Shi's heart tightened, God of Plague!
"Don't be surprised. You used the Three Yang Return Evil to drive away the God of Plague. I can naturally know it. The one facing you is just one of the five Gods of Plague. At this moment, the five Gods of Plague are gathered in the mortal world. If they wake up together, what do you think?
What will happen to the world?"
"Wait... wait, aren't they gods? Why are they in the mortal world?" Zhou Shi noticed the clue.
"Well, what do you think?" The little novice monk smiled grimly.
"It's really you!"
"Of course, it's not my intention to let them cause harm to the world. It's just that the plague god is contaminated with the cause and effect of the world, so it's convenient for me to 'take advantage'."
"So, you want to help me send them back to the fairy world?" Zhou Shi thought this was a fantasy, "How to do it?"
"Simple, I just return the borrowed fairy throne to them. However, you have to find them first."
"The five plague gods are scattered everywhere, where can I find them?"
"Even if they fall to the mortal world, they still have immortal bodies and will naturally be worshiped by others. As long as you find people who believe in the God of Plague, you can naturally follow the traces to find the God of Plague. Then you can ask me to come down to earth and I will send them back to the fairy world.
.”
So, the corpse-carrying man is in the fairy world? Zhou Shi felt that he had obtained important information.
"Let that iron abacus belong to you so that you can use it. After all, it is something that my master spent his whole life collecting."
"Slow down, what is the end of this iron abacus..."
"In his later years, Master had the idea of gathering the most valuable knowledge from various sects inside and outside, but in the end the Dahuan Underground Palace was opened before it was completed. Even I don't know why he did this."
As he spoke, the corpse-carrying man raised his hand and pointed deep into the peach forest. "I think that might be an opportunity."
Zhou Shi looked up and saw peach blossoms in full bloom and a stone tablet surrounded by streams with the four words "Tomb of Guan Zhan" written on it.
"Guan Zhen..."
"A close friend of my master." The corpse-carrying man said calmly.
Doesn't he know that An Rudao's memory is hidden in the iron abacus? No, it might be a trap for me... Zhou Shi nodded calmly and continued to ask:
"Then what? Are you going to let me go?"
"I don't dare to force Shopkeeper Zhou to stay. Shopkeeper Zhou must promise me three things."
"Um?"
"First, don't tell anyone about this meeting; second, you can only search for the God of Plague by yourself, and you can't let the Jiulong Hall help; third, you can't use the Three Yangs to return evil spirits without my permission."
"You want me to fight the God of Plague alone?" Zhou Shi was shocked. These three conditions are equivalent to cutting off his arm! Can the corpse-carrying man ask for a borrowed knife to kill someone?
"No, no, this is good for you and me. I think you will understand the pros and cons in the future, but now, I have to take some measures to prevent you from being reckless and causing trouble."
"measure?"
The corpse-carrying man chuckled and said: "While you and I are talking freely, I can also distract myself and influence the outside world. Remember my method?"
"you!"
Just as Zhou Shi was about to step forward, the ground beneath his feet quickly retreated, and the peach forest also disappeared from his sight.
"Shopkeeper, take care of it!"
Zhou Shi shouted loudly and jumped up from the yellow beam pillow. The smell of meat penetrated his nose.
"What's going on? Lu Zhengjiu?"
The kang next to him was empty.
"Sister-in-law Jin San? Lu Zhengjiu? Where are you!"
He rushed out of the room and saw Lu Zhengjiu kneeling next to a brazier, facing a charred corpse, seemingly in a daze.
Damn it! The corpse-carrying man! Zhou Zhi cursed in his heart and grabbed Lu Zhengjiu’s shoulders. “What’s going on! Sister-in-law Jin...”
Looking at the corpse on the ground that still had human form but had turned into charcoal, and then looking at the little straw man in the brazier that had not yet burned out, Zhou Shi understood everything.
"Shopkeeper Zhou..." Lu Zhengjiu slowly turned his head, tears flowing from his eyes, "It's not me..."
"I know!" Zhou Shi kicked the brazier down angrily and beat his head hard.
The corpse-carrying man! It was the corpse-carrying man who passed through the dream world and exchanged Yi Jianyouxi with Lu Zhengjiu, killing Jin Sansao!
In this way, Zhou Shi himself cannot clear up the suspicion, and there will inevitably be a gap between him and the Jiulong Hall. He will lose important help in dealing with the God of Plague, and he will play into the hands of the corpse man!
What on earth does that bastard want to do! He actually starts with someone who has nothing to do with him!
No matter how upset and angry Zhou Shi is, the ironclad fact is right in front of him. The top priority now is, what’s the next step?
Send Lu Zhengjiu to the Kowloon Hall and make him bear the charge of killing Jin Sansao?
No, not to mention that Lu Zhengjiu was only controlled by the man who sent the corpse, can the Jiulong Hall really believe that Lu Zhengjiu, a disciple of his own family who has disappeared, can kill Jin Sansao under Zhou Shi's nose?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Without Lu Zhengjiu, Bai Jiaxian’s clue that can be used to track the corpse-carrying man is also broken... No way!
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Shi's mind, but in the end only one remained.
"Corpse-carrying Man, you wait..."
…
"Excuse me, my lords, please leave this crime to us."
"You have worked hard, everyone has worked hard." Zhao Xuan rubbed her eyes and said, "Keep a close eye on this person. This is the leader of the eunuchs. If something goes wrong, you guys will take up the slack left by them."
"I understand, I understand." The detective from the Criminal Department responsible for escorting Shang Jianxi and others replied while wiping cold sweat.
"Officer, it's all wrapped up." As he spoke, a beautiful woman wearing a palace maid's dress gently put down Zhao Xuan's clothes.
"Huh?" Zhao Xuan touched her body. The wound scratched by the residual power of the pear blossom needle in the heavy rain not only felt no pain at the moment, but also felt a cool feeling coming from her ribs.
"Awesome, our gold medal detective has a miracle doctor!"
The woman covered her face and smiled, saying: "Mr. Zhao, you are joking. Remember to take good care of yourself. The wounds caused by the pear blossom needles in the heavy rain are not a joke."
"I know. Your name is..."
"In response to my lord, a jade porcelain pillow."
"Okay, okay, Xiaoyu, I have to ask you to take more care of me in the future."
Zhao Xuan shook her shoulders, adjusted her police uniform, and hummed a ditty across the courtyard with flowing water. Along the way, she passed several corpses with their heads missing, and finally found Sun Qianfeng and Yu Changren.
Seeing her coming, Sun Qianfeng immediately stood up from the strange rock he was leaning on and pulled up his clothes to cover up the messy bandages on his body.
"Look at you! Why don't you let her treat you? If the swords of these dead men are poisoned, your arms will be rotten!" Zhao Xuan said angrily.
"I, I'm fine." Sun Qianfeng answered awkwardly, causing Yu Changren, who was scrubbing his iron wrist guards by the pool, to turn his back on them and roll his eyes.
"Have you seen the new guy?" he said without looking back.
