Chapter 55: The Conspiracy of Jia Juan Polygonum Flowers
I missed a section, no wonder the brothers are saying that something is not right, sorry!
"Are there any other powerful monsters in the ditch?" Chen Huaisheng slowly brought the topic to this issue.
Since Lu Zhaolin was killed in Yefenggou, it is not yet certain whether he was a monster or an evil spirit, or someone else killed Lu Zhaolin and pretended to be a monster.
Xiong Zhuang has lived in Yefeng Ditch for decades. Although he rarely leaves the ditch, he may know something about it.
"There are quite a few unqualified monsters. I occasionally hunt them, such as short-tailed arrow deer and iron-horned running sheep. The arrow deer meat is okay, but the running sheep smells too strong and is not tasty..."
“A powerful monster, a first-level monster or above. The wolf appeared in the ditch south, and there were also fire-maned wild boars. I saw the Yunteng Golden Cat twice in the ditch, and the second-level monster. It appeared once in Goubei..."
Xiong Zhuang seemed to be recalling, "It was born some years ago, maybe five or six years ago, and it was a blue-feathered buzzard with blazing eyes, with its wings spread nearly two feet. , easily hunted an iron-horned sheep,..."
"By the way, there seems to be an ice-scale blood python outside the ditch north, but I encountered it twenty years ago. This I haven’t seen him for a few years, and I don’t know if he left or was hunted,..."
Goubei? Even Lu Zhaolin couldn't go there, he had already entered the extremity area.
Yunteng Golden Cat is considered to be the top ferocious beast among the first-order monsters. It is not impossible to hunt down Lu Zhaolin, a sixth-level Qi refining person, but it is only possible with a surprise attack.
But since Lu Zhaolin walked to the entrance of the wild bee ditch, it seemed impossible to accidentally guard against it, and it was unlikely that the golden cat would make a sneak attack.
What's more, if the golden cat really wants to hunt down a cultivator, why not say that the deer shines and eats up all the limbs of its neighbor?
Even if it cannot be eaten at once, the golden cat will take the body away based on its habits.
"Brother Xiong, have you met any people or things with "cha-eyes" inside and outside Mizokou in the past two years?" Chen Huaisheng felt that Xiong Zhuang had some difficulty understanding the word "cha-yan", and he Explained in detail.
Only then did Xiong Zhuang understand and nodded: "Well, you are talking about a situation that is not in line with common sense. In the past few years, the number of people coming to the mountains has been increasing day by day. The first ones to come to the mountains were mostly the Taoists you mentioned. Hunting some unqualified monsters, or digging for herbs, but in the past two years, there have been more cultivators of your level chasing you today, and I can encounter them once or twice a year..."
Chen Huaisheng was startled, and then asked: "Is it similar to the person who chased me, or is it higher?"
Xiong Zhuang hesitated for a moment, then tilted his head and asked: " There are some who are similar, and some who are higher, dear brother, do you want to inquire about something? "
This one is not slow in learning and adapting, and Chen Huaisheng is not willing to destroy what he has finally established with the other party. Fragile trust, nodded.
“Last spring, a friend of mine was killed in Mizoguchi. He was much higher in cultivation than me and higher than the person who is chasing me today. He was also very vigilant, but he was still killed. Killed, the bodies were dismembered, but I couldn't find out who did it. I couldn't tell whether it was a monster or someone else. That's why I wanted to find out. Who had ever thought of accidentally hunting a strange wolf? , but Yuan Dan was also targeted,..."
"Last spring?" Xiong Zhuang frowned and recalled, and after a long time he said, "I have some memories. At that time, I saw a person from a distance at the entrance of the ditch. I felt that the yin energy in his body was worse than the miasma in the ditch. In addition, there were two people beside him. It's a cloth bag, but the cloth bag is still standing up. It's strange, as if it's waiting for someone at the mouth of the ditch..."
The yin energy is very strong, which is a bit broad.
Bag? Chen Huaisheng was a little confused. What was in the standing bag? It's a bit inappropriate for Xiong Zhuang to use the word "standing", wait...
"Brother Xiong, what do you mean when you say this bag is standing up?"
"I will I feel that this bag is about the same height as a human being, and it feels like there are two people inside it..." Xiong Zhuang scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "But it is definitely not a human being, I can still feel the breath of a living person. Of,..."
Not a living person? Could it be a dead person?
Evil ghosts? !
Chen Huaisheng immediately asked: "Brother Xiong, how do you see that person with a strong yin energy dressed up? Is there any special sign?"
"Dressing? He is dressed in linen, and that kind of It was pieced together from pieces of linen. My eyesight is not very good and I can’t see the person clearly, but the person was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and there seemed to be some bells on the top of the stick..." Xiong Zhuang’s words made Chen Huaisheng almost want to Shout out.
It's not evil, but it is a corpse ghost, and the man in linen clothes with a strong sinister energy should be a ghost cultivator, or ghost cultivator.
Ghost masters are rare in Da Zhao and are even somewhat taboo, but not in Nan Chu.
In particular, there are one or two places in Southern Chu that are quite famous. The ghost cultivator and the voodoo cultivator are known as the two most characteristic cultivations of Southern Chu.
He is actually a ghost master!
Although it is not certain whether the ghost cultivator attacked Lu Zhaolin, the mere fact that this ghost cultivator, who may be from Nanchu, appeared at Yefeng Mizoguchi at this time last spring is a big doubt, and he also brought There are two corpses.
The ghost cultivators in the south are completely different from the ghost cultivators in the north, although they are also cultivators.
Southern ghost cultivators generally rely on dead bodies or skeletons to practice, while northern ghost cultivators mainly focus on searching for ghosts.
Spiritual corpses are of no use to spiritual cultivators, but corpses that devour the limbs of spiritual cultivators can increase the power of the corpses.
Seeing the sudden change in Chen Huaisheng's face, Xiong Zhuang estimated that what he said must be of some value to the other party, and he was also very happy: "Brother Xian, what's so weird about this man in linen clothes?"
" Well, it’s hard to say, but it’s really strange for a ghost cultivator to appear in such a barren mountain with a corpse.”
Seeing that the other party was a little confused, Chen Huaisheng quickly explained the meaning of the word "Qi Qiao" and told him that when talking to others, "Qi Qiao" sounds higher than "suspicious".
This made Xiong Zhuang gain another wisdom.
How to make yourself appear more elegant and cultured when talking to others, it seems that I still have a long way to go.
But if you want to gain the respect of those cultivators in the human world, this aspect is essential. The one in front of you seems to be the most suitable teacher for you.
Some thoughts also came alive in Xiong Zhuang's heart, and Xiong Zhuang was also a little happy. This showed that he was becoming more and more like a human being, at least he could think about many issues like a human being.
However, Chen Huaisheng's explanation of ghost cultivators and corpses also made him feel the complexity and weirdness of the human world. It is no wonder that humans rank first among the five insects, but this is far beyond all other races.
Chen Huaisheng asked for some other details, but Xiong Zhuang just glanced at it from a distance. In addition, his eyesight was not very good, so he only saw these and didn't care about what happened next. , and he knew nothing.
Although it is a bit regretful, Chen Huaisheng feels that he has gained a lot.
This ghost cultivator with two ghost corpses is undoubtedly the biggest suspect, and he is most likely to come from Nanchu.
As for what made Lu Zhaolin come here, and how the other party chose to ambush Lu Zhaolin here, these issues were not something Chen Huaisheng could investigate clearly.
Even the origin of Lu Zhaolin was quite strange. Cai Jinyang was vague about it, and Chen Huaisheng didn't want to ask more.
Getting this clue and handing it over to Wu Tianen can already give me an explanation for the sect.
