"Uncle Master, what kind of elixir is this "Thousand Corpse Pill"? It smells like blood, and what effect does it have?" Liu Yu asked deliberately doubtfully.
"This "Thousand Corpse Pill" is an evil pill that the evil cultivator made to replenish Yuan Qi after killing mortals. Nephew, my sect will keep it first, and then the sect will count your merits. Is there any evil cultivator left?
Other relics?" Taoist Changshan asked with his eyes shining.
The appearance of the "Thousand Corpse Pill" cheered up Taoist Changshan, and he thought to himself, this evil cultivation is not easy!
"Uncle, they are all here. Except for the storage bag left by Xie Dao, the other four were left by Senior Brother Li and the others." Liu Yu took the initiative to hand over the five storage bags he had prepared in advance to the chief.
Mountain Taoist.
After Taoist Changshan took them one by one, he picked up the big red storage bag left by the evil cultivator. He put his spiritual sense into it and examined it carefully. He found that there were a few spiritual stones, clothes, some ordinary medicinal materials, and other items in the storage bag.
There were some debris. Taoist Changshan frowned, with a look of disappointment on his face.
"Master Nephew, is this all there is?" Taoist Changshan asked, staring at Liu Yu sharply.
"Uncle, that's all. After the evil corpse self-destructed, very few limbs were left, and all of them were burned." Liu Yu replied firmly, without squinting. He couldn't show any cowardice at this time.
"Oh! Go back then!" Changshan Taoist said with a playful smile. He casually returned the red storage bag to Liu Yu, which was also Liu Yu's trophy.
Taoist Changshan was sure that this nephew had something to hide and he must have gained something, but he could not ask too many questions. From the beginning to the end, the nephew acted very calmly without any flaws.
In fact, the sect does not have any regulations on compulsory collection of trophies obtained from killing evil spirits. They all belong to the killers. There are only some special items that the sect will force to collect, and will also provide certain compensation afterwards.
Taoist Changshan's playful smile made Liu Yu more uneasy and his heart was pounding. However, he pretended to be calm and did not show it, and he walked out of the earthen house. Back in Yannan City, Liu Yuxian arranged a meeting for Taoist Changshan at Tianshi Mansion.
Let him have a good rest in a refined and elegant room.
Huang Shengsheng Village in Gaoyang City received the news from Liu Yu through the inn, and immediately arranged for Taoist priest Changshan to rush to Yannan City to investigate what happened.
Taoist Changshan, whose real name is Zheng Changxin, and whose Taoist name is "Changshan". He is a single spiritual root of the wood system, and has practiced in the early stage of foundation building. He is one of the two foundation building monks of Huang Shengzong stationed in Gaoyang City.
Zheng Changxin braved the pouring rain and thunder, and spent half a day rushing to Yannan City with his sword at full speed. During this process, he consumed a lot of mana and physical strength, and was indeed a little tired. After Liu Yu said goodbye, he began to exercise and recuperate his spiritual power. p>
As Liu Yu walked back to her residence, she pondered over what she had said in reply to Uncle Zheng, and felt that she had not leaked anything, so she calmed down her uneasy mood a little.
The rain stopped the next day, and the humid air was cool and comfortable. Early in the morning, Liu Yu took Master Zheng to Yizhuang to inspect the bodies of Li Songlin and the four others.
After opening the coffin, a putrid smell immediately filled the air, and the bodies of the four people were somewhat rotten. Zheng Changxin quickly held his breath and used his spiritual sense to examine them carefully.
It was found that Xi Chenyong, Yuan Man, and Shen Yuan died in the same manner. Their faces were struggling. They must have been in great pain before death. The cause of death was indeed very similar to being attacked by ghosts. Li Songlin's internal organs were shattered. Judging from the death state, Liu Yu stated that Li Songlin It makes sense that the cause of death was that he was injured by a temporary self-destruction caused by evil spirits.
"Uncle, how should we properly arrange the corpses of our senior brothers?" Liu Yu asked when he saw that the bodies of the four people had begun to rot.
"The cremation will be arranged tomorrow, and the ashes will be brought back to the sect and given to their family for a grand burial." Zheng Changxin motioned to the Yamen servant to close the coffin lid, and Magistrate Lin on the side hurriedly arranged for his servants to prepare.
After leaving Yizhuang, Liu Yu took Zheng Changxin around the major medical clinics in Yannan City. At noon, he was invited to Lin Zifeng's house as a guest. Lin Zifeng had already arranged a banquet. After the banquet, Zheng Changxin asked Liu Yuqian to leave, saying that he had something important to confess. Lin Zifeng.
"Uncle Master, I will go to Yizhuang to stay. If you have anything to do, you can send someone to greet the disciples at any time." Liu Yu excused himself first. He knew that Taoist Changshan was deliberately distracting himself.
Zheng Changxin really wanted to expel Liu Yu, otherwise it would be inconvenient to investigate. He asked Lin Zifeng about what happened in Xiaowei Village. As the prefect, Lin Zifeng should know better. Lin Zifeng told what he knew. I told Zheng Changxin ten times and dared not hide anything.
"Oh! Are you saying that a hunter first noticed something strange and came to report it?" Zheng Changxin asked casually after listening.
"Yes, it's a letter from a strong man named Ai Dahu, and he also led the way." Lin Zifeng replied respectfully
"Where is this strong man? Can I call him?" Zheng Changxin felt that this man might know more.
"Master Immortal, I will send someone to find him right now." Lin Zifeng said immediately.
Soon Ai Dahu was found and told intermittently about his experience in Xiaowei Village that day. Because he was suddenly called by the prefect, he didn't know what was going on, and the new immortal master looked serious, which made him a little uneasy.
After carefully listening to Lin Zifeng and Ai Dahu's description of the incident, they found that there was no conflict with what the nephew Liu said. There should be no big problem with the nephew.
"Master Nephew Liu, the Master Liu you all know. Did he threaten you afterwards, or ask you to conceal some trivial matters on purpose?" Zheng Changxin finally asked, wanting to be sure.
"Master Immortal, Master Liu Tianshi does not." Lin Zifeng was shocked and replied truthfully.
"Master Tianshi, no." Ai Dahu also replied.
After listening to the two people's answers, Zheng Changxin gave up his excessive suspicion of Liu Yu. He said goodbye to Lin Zifeng and went back to his residence to rest.
Lin Zifeng lay on the bench and turned around, thinking whether he should tell Liu Yu what had just happened and give him a reminder. After many years of serving as an official, he clearly felt that this Taoist Master Zheng had a deep affection for Liu Tianshi. Doubt.
The backyard of Yizhuang is usually empty and simple, and sometimes some unclaimed dead bodies of Yizhuang are burned. At this time, the decoration is very grand, with thick white soul-inducing flags inserted in the four corners, and two rows of exquisite wreaths placed around it. Willow wood is used in the middle of the courtyard. A square mourning platform was built, with four coffins placed on it.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" A crowd of people kneeling in the audience cried softly. The four wives and concubines from Yannan City, all dressed in white mourning clothes, came to see them off and cried together.
"The auspicious time has come!" Changshan Taoist shouted loudly in front of the spiritual platform. He made a seal with his hands, and two thick fire snakes strung out out of thin air, quickly wrapped around the spiritual platform from both sides, and ignited the base of the spiritual platform.
"Ancestor Huang Sheng is here, the sect disciples Li Songlin, Xi Chenyong, Yuan Man, and Shen Yuan are not afraid of evil spirits, fight to the end, and sacrifice themselves to defend the Tao. This move is heartwarming. The four disciples have demonstrated the sect's teachings of eliminating demons and defending the Tao. In this way, the sect For the sake of honor, I sincerely ask our ancestors to bless our four disciples so that they can enter reincarnation as soon as possible. I will go to the mountain to report this."
Zheng Changxin looked solemn, put his hands together, and closed his eyes to pray. After praying, his hands changed into mudras, and flames shot up in the air around the spiritual platform. The fire surged, and the entire spiritual platform was engulfed in flames in an instant. Under Zheng Changxin's control, the fire burned more and more fiercely. The temperature inside the venue is getting higher and higher, and the firewood makes a crackling sound.
Liu Yu quickly reminded everyone kneeling and crying in front of the coffin to move back to avoid being injured for no reason.
The coffin was soon reduced to ashes in such a fierce flame. Zheng Changxin then cast a spell, and four light winds rolled up four dust pillars and poured them into the jade altar that had been prepared. The lid of the altar closed automatically, and the last four jade bodies were The altar flew up, Zheng Changxin waved his hand, and disappeared into the air.
