Although the plan to arrest people was successful, in the end the people ran away and the plan failed completely.
Liu Yuanping scratched his head in embarrassment, thinking that he still had to blame him for this matter.
He had preconceived the idea that the man in black robe was the one who escaped, so he distracted everyone's attention and went to see the monster.
Gu Cheng didn't say anything. This kind of thing was inevitable when he didn't know the other party's background. He was the one directing all this, so of course he wouldn't blame Liu Yuanping.
"If he escapes, he will escape. As long as he is still in this capital, where can he escape to? Let's take a look at this monster first. What is this thing?"
The monster had been completely dug out by everyone. It was huge in size, like a buffalo, three parts like a fish and seven parts like an animal. It was covered in corpse oil. Its huge head was as big as a millstone, and it directly occupied the body.
It was more than half of the entire body, but it was extremely thin, with long black hair, and its limbs were extremely slender. Gu Cheng simply suspected that this thing could crush him and break his body after just two steps.
This was not like any kind of monster that was transformed from a normal beast into a spirit. Anyway, he searched in his mind and found that there was no record of this thing in Jingyesi's classics.
Tie Tianying and others also looked puzzled. No one knew what this thing was anyway.
At this time, Meng Hantang suddenly said: "This monster seems to be the legendary ancient monster corpse tapir. It is not an innate monster, but an existence born from the fusion of acquired resentment of several monsters. Therefore, it has no male and female and cannot reproduce.
Corpse tapirs have a very strange characteristic. They need blood for food, but they do not eat living people. Instead, they kill people and then lick their bodies, causing them to secrete a very yin-y corpse oil to soak their internal organs.
When they are mature, they disembowel them and eat their internal organs.
Because the yin energy entered the earth, this rotting tapir was born from the yin energy of resentment, and it ate such extremely yin things, so it was born with the magical ability to escape from the earth, making it very difficult to deal with.
I had seen its records in some miscellaneous books when I was collecting exercises before, so this should be it.
However, this kind of monster born after tomorrow cannot reproduce, so most of them left some records after causing disaster, and then became completely extinct. And this rotten tapir does not seem to be born naturally, but is a man-made creation.
Refined by the environment.”
Tie Tianying wondered: "It's normal for these leftist practitioners to refine some ghosts and monsters, but what kind of background does the opponent have? Where does he have the courage to kill people and refine monsters in the capital? Are you tired of living?"
These lawless evil cultivators rarely take action in the capital because there are too many Xuanjia guards in this place.
The stronger the strength, the more so. If a guy like the Wu Zang Taoist who wants money but not his life dares to directly attack the capital, we can only say that he is ignorant and fearless. Jingyesi's power in the capital is far more terrifying than he imagined. You
The bigger the trouble, the more powerful Yasushi will be attracted.
At this time, Gu Cheng suddenly said: "Will this corpse tapir be very powerful after being refined?"
Meng Hantang shook his head and said: "On the contrary, although this thing is evil, its attack power is not strong. Except for a magical ability to escape from the ground, it does not have any offensive magical powers, at least for practitioners.
.
Such a corpse tapir, as long as it doesn't have to hide, can be easily killed by a sixth-grade practitioner in a head-on confrontation. Even a stronger seventh-grade practitioner can kill it.
Of course, the earth-escape magical power is still quite difficult to deal with. If it weren’t for your Lord’s demon arrow Yeluo just now, we wouldn’t be able to dig it out.”
Gu Cheng touched his chin and said, "It's strange if that's the case. Since this thing is not strong, except for being able to escape and escape, why is the other party killing people in the capital to feed this thing?"
Kou Andu suddenly interjected: "Maybe they are used as pets? Normal people keep cats and dogs. These evil practices distort the three views of life and lack love, so isn't it normal for the aesthetics to be distorted as well, just in case someone likes it?
How about raising this thing?"
Everyone looked at Kou Andu. Liu Yuanping and Yang Naigong were also confused at this time, where did Mr. Gu find such a strange thing?
Those evil cultivators may have distorted aesthetics, but this guy's mind is definitely a little abnormal.
At this time, Chen Danggui brought over the corpses of the two Xuanjia guards who had been sacrificed before and said: "Sir, these two people died in the hands of that guy. I checked the corpses. They were weird and weird evil cultivators from the left."
There is no basis for the method at all."
Gu Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "Whose subordinates are they?"
Liu Yuanping said: "He is my person."
"Do they have wives and children?"
"One has something, and the other is alone."
Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "Jing Yesi has given all the pensions he should give. In addition, he will come to me to receive a pension and give it to his family. The one who has no family will find a good place to bury outside the capital. Money is wasted.
I'll come out."
Jingyesi from Donglin County, Jingyesi from Nanjiu County, and Jingyesi from the capital have all been contacted by Gu Cheng. To be honest, five hundred years have passed, just as Yan Beigong told him before.
, Jingyesi is no longer the Jingyesi he was five hundred years ago, he has changed, and everything is rotten.
But one thing cannot be denied. It is precisely because of the existence of Jingyesi that Daqian can maintain stability on the surface, so that the people will not worry about becoming the blood food of monsters and ghosts and becoming the evil cultivators.
Ghost material.
What really maintains all this is not the big shots at the top who can destroy a sect with just one word, nor Gu Cheng, but these Xuanjia Guards at the lowest level, who suffer countless casualties every year, but still stick to their respective posts.
Ordinary black armor guard.
After listening to Gu Cheng's words, Liu Yuanping and Yang Naigong both looked at Gu Cheng with surprised eyes. They really didn't expect that Gu Cheng would say such words.
The position of the Commander of the Four Domains of Jingyesi can be said to be a low-level position, only half a level lower than that of the Governor, so he is already considered to be a middle- and upper-level figure in Jingyesi.
Liu Yuanping worked his way up from the lowest level. Whether it was the governors he met outside the capital or the several Eastern Territory commanders in the capital, they never cared about the life and death of these low-level Xuanjia guards.
To be precise, these lowest-level Xuanjia Guards were just tools to them, and a lot of them died. Many major counties outside the capital were queuing up to enter the capital to practice Xuanjia Guards.
Therefore, Jingyesi is short of people, but Jingyesi in the capital is not short of people, only the elite.
Gu Cheng's attitude, among other things, makes someone like him who rose from the bottom of Jingyesi quite emotional.
At this time, Yang Naigong suddenly said: "Sir, I have a way to possibly track the other party, but I can't guarantee complete certainty."
"Oh? Let's see what we can do."
Yang Naigong took out a small gourd from his pocket and poured out a small golden worm only as big as his thumb.
"This is a nine-winged earthworm, an insect unique to the Southern Barbarians. It can identify objects and hunt for treasures, and is extremely sensitive to smells.
That guy just killed one of our people, and his aura has not dissipated at this time. As long as the other party does not deliberately use secret methods to cover his own aura, those fuzzy auras that we practitioners cannot detect can be detected by the nine-winged earthworm."
Liu Yuanping looked at Yang Naigong with a strange expression. He knew the character of his good friend.
He himself has no background, and he doesn't know how to flatter others. At this time, his promotion to the night watchman is the end, so he is also very lazy in the Eastern Region Jingyesi Division. Although he will not slack off in his own job, he
No one wants him to do any more work.
The nine-winged earthworm was a rare treasure that Yang Naigong had collected for many years. One use of the nine-winged earthworm would shorten its lifespan by one minute. At this time, Yang Naigong actually stepped forward to help Gu Cheng, which was rare.
The fundamental reason for this is that Yang Naigong was a little touched by what Gu Cheng did just now.
He had been working in Jingyesi for decades. Although he was not so easily moved, he was thinking in his heart that if he could have met such a boss who could treat him as a 'human being', he might also be able to
I wouldn't have been struggling for so many years without being able to get ahead, and now I'm completely frustrated and living my life in despair.
"Let's try it. If it doesn't work, think of other ways." Gu Cheng said.
Yang Naigong placed the nine-winged earthworm on the corpse, made seals with his hands, and guided the movement of the nine-winged earthworm.
After a moment, the strange golden bug flapped its nine tiny wings and headed straight in one direction.
Leaving the other Xuanjia Guards temporarily in charge of dealing with the aftermath, Gu Cheng and others followed the Nine-winged Birdfly, crossing several cities and towns, and arrived directly at Jing'an Fang, located in the central area of the capital.
Yang Naigong pointed to one of the mansions and said, "That's where the breath lasts."
Liu Yuanping looked strange and said: "Old Yang, it's impossible, right? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Gu Cheng wondered: "What's wrong?"
Liu Yuanping smiled bitterly and pulled Gu Cheng and others to the main entrance of the mansion. There were four big characters written on the plaque: Xinnan Hou Mansion.
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Gu Cheng's face.
Some time ago, I just stabbed several holes in the body of Guo Feng, the young prince of the Xinnanhou family. Now, the arrest of the evil cultivator of the Left Dao has actually been traced to the body of the Xinnanhou family. This is really fate.
Liu Yuanping said cautiously: "Sir, although Guo Feng has some issues with you, this matter really does not seem to have been done by the Xinnan Hou Mansion.
The lineage of Xinnanhou can definitely be regarded as the real powerful princes of Daqian. Several people in the palace serve in the army of Daqian. They have a wide network of contacts. They need to have strength and connections.
What benefit do they gain from colluding with this kind of evil cultivator who kills people and refines demons and ghosts? They can only get into trouble for no reason.
Besides, that guy is just good at escaping. As long as that old boy doesn’t run away, I can kill him in a head-on confrontation. So, Lao Yang, is that bug like you reliable?"
Yang Naigong said firmly: "That guy didn't cover his aura, so the traces are extremely obvious. The name of the nine-winged earthworm resounds throughout the southern barbarian land, how could it be ineffective?"
