Passing through the burnt black stone gate, the five of them saw Linghu Chong at a glance.
He was seen standing in the center of the ruins, looking intently at a half-remaining corpse.
Li Jiang walked over and found that the skeleton was the upper body. After being burned by smoke and fire, it was half black and half white, which looked very strange.
When Linghu Chong saw him coming, he didn't say anything. Instead, he waited for him to look at him for a while and then said, "Haichuan, what did you see?"
I can see everything, but I won't say anything.
Li Jiang decided to hide his clumsiness and just shook his head.
Linghu Chong turned around and waved to the other four people to come over, and then said, "You guys should come and take a look too."
"Yes, master."
"Yes, Alliance Leader."
The three disciples and Hong Jian said in unison and walked up together.
Several people looked at it for a long time, looking confused. Isn't this just the half skeleton left after being burned? What's there to see?
But seeing that the master was so serious about his work, a few people did not dare to neglect it. They bulged their eyes and vowed to see the flowers from this half of the skeleton.
"Stop pretending. If you can't see it, you can't see it. There's no shame in it. Can we compare to the master? Just listen to the master." Li Jiang joked with a smile.
A smile appeared on Linghu Chong's face. He liked people with a free and unrestrained personality. If he didn't understand, he just didn't understand. There was nothing to pretend.
So he pointed to the place where the upper body of the skeleton was broken and said: "Look, the fracture here is smooth and flat, which means that this person was cut off with a sharp knife. Moreover, the chest of the skeleton was downward, and his hands were stretched forward, which means that he did not die on the spot, but went to
crawled some distance before."
"Oh!" Everyone suddenly realized that only Li Jiang complained in his heart, and this skeleton was just short of writing the word "miserable" on the ground.
"Haichuan, please squeeze his bones again." Linghu Chong ordered.
Damn it, I know it all. Li Jiang pretended to be very interested, squatted down, and pinched his lower arm bone with two fingers.
"What did you find?" Linghu Chong asked.
"Uh, it seems a bit soft?" Li Jiang answered uncertainly.
"What does it mean?" Linghu Chong asked.
"Explain it, does it mean he has osteoporosis?" Li Jiang was really in pain. He pretended not to understand even though he knew it. It was so inconsistent with his character.
"He's not soft in front of him. Look at his upper body shape. If he was soft, he wouldn't be so tall. That can only mean one thing..." Linghu Chong's eyes flashed.
"What's the problem?" Li Jiang promptly complimented.
"It means that he was eroded by that weird internal force before his death, so his bones became soft. This is basically consistent with what your Uncle Jiang said." Linghu Chong said firmly.
"Oh, that's it." Li Jiang stood up, clapped his hands and praised: "Master knows everything so that these little ones can't hide."
"But it's useless. Your Uncle Jiang has already said this." Linghu Chong waved his hand and said.
The other four people were confused and didn't know what riddle they were playing.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see here, let's go back to the city." Linghu Chong said with half interest.
Everyone agreed.
After spending another half a day, the six of them returned to Haidong and it was already dark. When they entered the inn, they saw that the eleven groups sent out had also returned and were gathered in the lobby waiting for the leader.
When Feng Fei saw the boss come back, he immediately asked the shopkeeper to bring the food. Everyone finished their meal in silence and went upstairs one after another to Linghu Chong's room.
The leader's accommodation conditions are unique. It is a large suite with a large living room, which can accommodate more than twenty people for a meeting.
What Li Jiang didn't expect was that Hong Jian also followed in.
When his eyes glanced at Hong Jian, Hong Jian also sensed it and smiled charmingly at him.
Damn it, I just had dinner! With his innate mastery, Li Jiang suppressed the churning in his stomach, so he didn't spit out his food on the spot.
After everyone gathered together, Linghu Chong began to ask about the gains of each group.
Qiao Lingfeng spoke first and said: "I visited a few Han businessmen, and they have never heard of the Wusheng sect, and they have not been threatened by anyone."
Linghu Chong frowned and motioned for the next group to continue.
"Senior Brother, we went to visit several Hui leaders, but we didn't get any news related to the Wusheng Sect."
"Brother, we didn't find it either!"
…
As all twenty-one groups reported, there was still no good news. The Wusheng sect seemed to have evaporated without a trace.
The living room suddenly fell silent.
Just when everyone in Huashan was helpless, a weak child's voice sounded: "Leader Linghu, I feel, feel..." Everyone turned around and looked at the door.
The child's voice faded away.
Linghu Chong encouraged Hong Jian: "Hong Jian, don't be embarrassed. You are familiar with the situation here. Speak out boldly."
"Well!" Hong Jian was encouraged, and Mimi's eyes immediately showed a firm look, and said: "Since we can't find it in Haidong, we might as well go to Xining. Xining has the military equipment of the imperial court, maybe they can
Get some news."
Linghu Chong nodded. In fact, he also had this idea in mind. Jiang Yushi had been hiding in Xining for more than a year, which showed that the Wusheng sect was very powerful there. As long as he looked for it, there would definitely be clues left behind.
But what if the Wusheng sect is really found and they are defeated? Judging from Jiang Yushi's description and the situation of today's investigation, this Wusheng sect is very difficult to deal with.
Thinking of this, Linghu Chong looked at the Huashan disciples who were sitting or standing in a circle. These are the essence of our sect. If they are lost here, especially the four disciples...
After pondering for a long time, between worrying about gains and losses, his natural hidden character was inspired, which is to be indomitable and look down on life and death. He is usually unrestrained and unrestrained, and the pursuit of freedom is just his appearance.
Linghu Chong laughed loudly and said: "Okay, fellow juniors, let's go to Xining and set off tomorrow morning!"
"Okay" everyone agreed in agreement.
Li Jiang pretended to be enthusiastic and responded, but he observed Hong Jian with his peripheral vision, and saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, with a faint smile.
At this time, Li Jiang was more sure of his guess, and he secretly made a decision to sacrifice himself to find out the truth.
Early the next morning, with the sound of horse hooves, more than twenty people rushed out of Haidong and headed for Xining.
On the way, Li Jiang did what he wanted and sacrificed himself.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he steered his horse closer to Hong Jian, suppressed his nausea with an attitude of looking forward to death, and decided not to separate from Hong Jian for the time being.
He was still speechless and asked: "Senior Brother Hong, why did you choose the name Jian?"
Hong Jian looked at Li Jiang inexplicably, not understanding why he was so close to him, and replied casually: "As a disciple of Wanjian Sect, after entering the sect, I have to add the word sword to my name to show that my sword skills are authentic, so I
His name is Hong Jian."
"Oh, then why are you just a sword? Don't you have any other name?" Li Jiang asked with interest.
"Well, the previous name didn't sound good, so I gave it up." Hong Jian's face looked a little confused.
"Tell me, what's it called?" Li Jiang asked.
"Uh, uh, my name is Hong Ren." Hong Jian answered quietly.
