Maybe it's because the people in the town are hard-working and they all get up early.
So at this moment, Zhang Fu's courtyard was already filled with townspeople.
Chat in low voices from time to time.
"It's only been three days, and two people have died in this town. I'm afraid our town is obsessed with something!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Li Xin hanged himself!"
"What about Zhang Fu? Did he commit suicide too? Look, his eyes haven't even been closed yet. What does this mean? This means he won't die with his eyes in peace! It shows that he is not willing to accept it!"
"Okay, okay! You have read the book, I won't argue with you."
"I think I'd better hide with my second uncle in the city for a while."
Listening to the conversations of the townspeople, Gu An looked at Zhang Fu's body in front of him.
Indeed, as they said, the body was covered in bruises extending from the neck upwards. His eyes were wide open and staring straight ahead, as if he had seen something terrible.
When he came just now, Zhang Fu's hands were still holding his neck tightly.
Death from suffocation.
Qin Li sighed and stood up.
The mayor hurriedly stepped forward: "Sir, do you need to notify the Evil Suppression Department about this matter?"
"No need." Qin Li glanced at the crowd: "Where was Li Xin buried yesterday?"
The mayor lowered his eyebrows and thought, remembering some rumors, and opened his eyes slightly: "Sir, you mean, this matter has something to do with Li Xin?"
"Oh, you'll have to see the details to find out."
"Understood, gentlemen, please come this way." The mayor nodded and greeted the crowd: "Lao Wu, take a few people and come with me."
…
The mayor here just left with Gu An and Qin Li.
Tao San got up over there and got the news.
"he,tui!"
I spat out the mouthwash, took the towel from the maid on the side, wiped it off, and walked down the corridor.
"Zhang Fu died, and those named Qin and Gu went to the place where Li Xin was buried yesterday."
Tao San murmured to himself.
"What do you think?"
Tao Xu, holding the sword in his arms, thought for a while: "I guess I discovered something."
"Impossible!" Tao Sanhuo turned around, and then realized that he seemed to be overreacting, and whispered:
"That thing was given to me by my brother. If it is pierced into the body, the wound will heal directly. How could it be discovered?"
"It's really not easy to find out. What I'm afraid of is that 'someone' has already told them."
"Only you and I know about this, who told them?"
"Li Xin himself."
"No..." Tao Sangang was about to retort, but then he remembered what his brother once told him: "You mean, Li Xin turned into something weird?"
Tao Xu closed his eyes and nodded.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Tao San's expression became uncertain.
"Made, you are not safe even if you are dead."
Tao Xu opened his eyes and said: "That young man is not simple. His body seems calm, but the energy and blood inside are secretly surging. He is probably at the ninth level of body tempering."
"Isn't that the same as you?"
"Um."
"Didn't you say that you can't force that thing out?"
"good."
"Then what are you worried about?"
"They can take Li Xin's body directly to the county seat. There are people over there who can do it."
When Tao San heard this, his expression changed drastically.
"Let's go, stop them, and then burn the bodies!"
…
Next to Li Xin’s cemetery.
The mayor just called Qingzhuang to dig out Li Xin's body.
Qin Li frowned: "Xiao An, follow my instructions and try using Qi and blood."
"yes."
Gu An responded.
Afterwards, Qin Li mentioned several acupuncture points one after another.
Gu An's mind moved slightly as he listened.
They are all potentially deadly places.
Immediately afterwards, he began to follow the instructions, placing the index and middle fingers of his right hand side by side on Li Xin's body, and the blood seeped into it through his fingers.
When the third place was tried, Li Xin's neck, the carotid sinus.
Gu An opened his eyes slightly, feeling that his blood flow was being hindered.
Qin Lida said: "Do you feel it?"
"Yes, it looks like a needle, and it's a little thicker than ordinary needles."
"Yes! This is it. Let's see if we can force it out."
Gu An nodded in response, and immediately raised his left hand, qi and blood surging, then lowered it to his right shoulder, then slid down against his right arm to his wrist.
A steady stream of blood seeped into Li Xin's neck, wrapped around the 'needle', and began to slowly pull it out.
However, after a while, the 'needle' was still in the same place.
Gu An's forehead was already covered with a layer of dense beads of sweat.
Qin Li saw that Gu An had maintained this posture for so long without any movement, and knew that it might be a bit difficult, so he said softly: "If it doesn't work, forget it. We have determined the location and brought Li Xin's body back to Ping'an County. Please take action, sir."
.”
Gu An stood up and took a deep breath: "I'll try again."
Squat down again and continue pulling according to the previous actions.
After a while, there was still no movement.
Just when Gu An was about to give up.
"Optional: consume 1 energy point and pull out the black dragon nail."
Gu An's pupils narrowed.
It actually consumes energy to pull it out.
Black Dragon Nail...
1 o'clock.
It takes 5 points to upgrade the realm, and 10 points for Changquan.
It's far from enough, why not try this effect.
Calm your mind and meditate silently.
"Pull out."
The next moment, the energy value column on the panel in Gu An's mind returned to zero again. What followed was that Gu An discovered that the black dragon nails entwined with the power of his blood were slowly protruding outwards.
After a short while, a spike about an inch long and completely black was forced out from the neck of Li Xin's corpse.
Qin Li's eyes were cold and he stretched out his hand to take it directly: "It is indeed this thing."
Gu Cang pretended not to know, and asked solemnly: "Uncle, what is this?"
"The Black Dragon Nail is a torture tool used exclusively by the Evil Suppression Department."
"Tools of torture?"
"If this thing is nailed into a warrior's body, it will hinder the movement of the warrior's qi and blood. If it is nailed into an ordinary person's body, it will directly block the blood flow.
We met before when we went to the Suppressing Evil Division to learn how to use torture.
I heard that this thing still has a number, but it can only be identified using the special methods of the Zhenxie Department.
The important thing is, I heard that this thing has some evil nature, and people killed by this thing are more likely to turn into evil spirits."
Qin Li did not cover up his voice when talking, and his purpose was naturally to let the mayor and others standing nearby hear him.
The mayor looked at the young men beside him and saw the look of fear on their faces. He sighed silently and walked to Qin Li's side.
"Sir, something went wrong with Li Xin?"
Qin Li stood up and said, "Well, you might not believe it. 'Li Xin' came to see me and me last night. Zhang Fu was also killed by him."
"Ah! This!"
The mayor and others were shocked: "Then... what about Li Xin?"
"Li Xin turned into an evil spirit and was destroyed by me."
Gu An said calmly.
After hearing this, the mayor and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Evil spirits are a symbol of terror to ordinary people.
It was Zhang Fu last night, there's no telling who it will be tonight.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu."
"It's just a little effort." Gu An looked at Qin Li, saw him nodding, and then said: "Mayor Wang, our uncle and nephew have informed you about this, you should know what we mean."
Mayor Wang pursed his lips and looked embarrassed: "I know, I know, but this...is related to the Suppression of Evil Department."
"Don't worry, we will handle this matter naturally. You only need to wait for the summons to testify when the time comes."
As he said that, Qin Li glanced at the sky: "It's getting late, take Li Xin's body with you and bring Zhang Fu's body with you when you return to town.
Prepare a carriage and take it to the county seat.
Xiao An, I will trouble you to bring Tao San with you later."
"Um."
Gu An nodded in response.
Mayor Wang originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Qin Li's cold face, he could only tell Qing Zhuang to follow suit.
Just then, a loud shout came from the direction of the town.
