Chapter 107 How Happy Today
The fake monk stood up unsteadily. His left eye turned up and he was rolling his eyes. He was obviously dizzy. His right eye was rolling around, obviously he was awake.
“Beggars’ Gang, beggars’ gang, people who make a living by begging for food from others, yet they don’t care about it even though they have got such a big bowl of rice. Hee, I really feel like I have a long life.”
A sharp sound came from the monk's throat, and the sound floated far away.
Zuo Chen frowned slightly and used Guan Qi to look at the person who was suspected of having his body taken away, only to find a ray of Dharma on his forehead.
Before it was activated, this method was so subtle that not even Zuo Chen noticed it.
"Who are you?" Magistrate Xun was also slightly surprised.
The monk who was unconscious just now was still an ordinary person, but now he is full of evil spirits!
“Thankfully you are still the county magistrate, but you are so stupid, can’t you see it? Grandpa is the mastermind behind this!”
The possessed fake monk giggled He was leaning on the shackles and rolling around on the ground. Several government officials nearby immediately came up to support him with sticks, but they still couldn't control his mouth:
"I didn't have the ability to be an official, so I started looking for foreign aid in the arena, and ended up killing the people in the arena. You sent snowflakes and silver to the monk's temple, which was considered as buying your life, but what about the rude man? He just After losing his life for you, what else can you do for him? Hehe! Doesn’t this show to the living that you understand your righteousness? "
, the chosen angle is also tricky enough. Xun Zhixian’s plain face turned red with anger. Even if he usually maintains a good temper, now his heart is inevitably burning with anger:
“Hit him! Beat him! He's a big boss!"
The government officials next to him didn't like this man, so they picked up a stick and hit him on the buttocks. However, the force that would make ordinary people faint fell on him, but he seemed to be completely fine. He only heard The whole room laughed strangely:
“Brothers, haven’t you eaten yet? I know there is a restaurant in the county called Baichun. Not only is the food delicious, but the proprietress is also pretty!”
Suddenly he turned his head and looked at a government servant who was beating him. His open eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and it was breathtaking:
"Brother, do you also think that the boss's wife is beautiful?" Huh? "
The government servant who was being stared at seemed to have discovered something sinister, and suddenly panicked.
“Talk too much!”
He picked up the killing stick and hit the monk on the head.
The stick hit the bald head, and even the stick broke. The monk's head was bruised and bloody, but he still laughed, as if he was not the one who had been hit just now.
"Zhixian, these people under your command are not good enough. They say they are smart and fair, but in the end, their government servants went to sleep with other people's wives! This is so embarrassing, so embarrassing!"
Point The thin voice seemed to contain some magic power, making the whole court vibrate.
His words are weird and evil, and there seems to be some magic in his language, which makes people upset.
Xun Zhixian's mind was buzzing, and he even considered killing the monk with a guillotine, but suddenly he felt a breeze blowing from beside him, which swept away the anger in his heart.
But he saw that Zuo Chen had already stood aside.
"Zhixian, don't let him be the devil."
Xun Zhixian finally came back to his senses, with some cold sweat on his forehead.
The fake monk is possessed, which means that even if he chops off his head with a dog-head guillotine, he will not be able to hurt the real culprit behind the scenes.
Knowing that he might not be able to deal with the other party, Magistrate Xun simply saluted Zuo Chen and his party.
"Taoist Master, I'm sorry to bother you."
Zuo Chen nodded and came to the monk.
The monk raised his head, looked at Zuo Chen, and smiled:
"It's quite novel, Taoist, which family are you an official in? What rank are you? You can make the seventh rank The magistrate leans aside, you are capable!"
Looking behind Zuo Chen again: "And he is bringing a woman with him..."
His eyes fell on Cai Yi, but his words stayed in his mouth.
"It's quite majestic."
His words were clearly hurting Zuo Chen and Magistrate Xun and wanted to lynching them.
Zuo Chen ignored him and just stared at the monk's face.
After two or three breaths, Zuo Chen suddenly smiled and said:
"The northernmost part of the county. Your skills are quite powerful. You can control people and objects from such a long distance."
As soon as these words were spoken, the monk in front of him immediately shut up.
Immediately afterwards, his body inflated rapidly like an inflated balloon.
The blood vessels under the skin are clear and obvious, and the muscle lines are also mixed together. In just the blink of an eye, they have become less human.
The stick that the yamen official was pressing down on the monk was shaken away. The fake monk seemed to have turned into a live bomb and was about to explode on the spot!
"Very decisive." Zuo Chen stretched out his hand and pointed it at the forehead of the swollen meat ball.
The whole meat ball immediately collapsed and turned into a monk again.
His body had undergone such a big change just now. This monk was not a physical practitioner. Although his body shape returned to normal, he was bleeding from his seven orifices and lost his life.
"Where is the north of the city?"
Zuo Chen immediately asked Magistrate Xun.
Before the magistrate could answer, the woman kneeling below said first:
“That’s a meeting of the beggar gang in this county...”
“You guys! Hurry up and grab your weapons. I'm going to the north of the city!"
Xun Zhixian came down from Gaotang, obviously going to the north of the city together.
He took another look at the government servant who had just been pointed out for stealing: "You don't have to go."
The yamen servant's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word and could only lower his head angrily.
"I'll go there first."
Zuo Chen knew very well that it would take time for the county government to prepare its horses. By the time they were done, the man would have already escaped.
After saying that, Zuo Chen stood up from the ground and disappeared into the hall in the blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, he was already in mid-air, flying with the moon and clouds, leaving a white mark in the sky.
The northern part of the county is a long way from here. Even if you ride a fast horse, it will take more than half an hour to get there. Even if Zuo Chen flies quickly, it will take about twenty or thirty breaths.
The floating clouds were white and white with the moon at midnight, floating leisurely and carelessly, but suddenly they were split in two from the middle, and a deep ravine was carved out.
After regaining consciousness, a person was floating at the end of the sky, looking down at the northernmost alley in the town.
The brows furrowed.
In his eyes, the entire alley was full of blood, even the streets in the bustling city couldn't compare.
A lot of people died!
Falling from the air and landing in front of the alley, you can smell the pungent smell of blood blowing in your face with the wind.
Zuo Chen stepped into the alley alone. He didn't take two steps when he saw people lying in front of him.
They all looked like beggars, with coarse linen clothes, cloth bags all over their bodies, and dust all over their bodies.
Some were stabbed in the neck, or had a hole in their heart. Some died so miserably that their stomachs were dug out and their spines were pulled out, just like a butcher's place to kill pigs!
There were many corpses piled up, dead and mutilated, and a blood-stained river flowed from the ground of the entire alley, but it looked like it had been dry for a while.
Zuo Chen stepped forward, and even the dried blood on the ground automatically made a path and did not stain his shoes.
Moving forward, we finally reached the deepest part of the alley.
This is a large open space, surrounded by houses and walls. There is an exit to the wilderness outside the town. There are also corpses lying there. It looks like a group of people want to escape, but they can't. It was as if someone had cut it violently with a sharp sword, and the body was in a state of disfigurement.
There is a pile of corpses in the middle of the clearing. None of them are intact. They are all chopped off limbs. Even the torso is cut into two sections either horizontally or vertically. It formed a hill in this way, and there was a rope in the middle of the hill, pointing hard towards the sky. It looks like an incense altar with a stick of incense stuck on it.
Beside the pile of corpses, there was a large gray pot with a red lid on it. A square piece of red cloth was pasted on the surface, and the word "wine" was written on it in black ink. , as if entertaining old friends.
With sharp eyes, Zuo Chen could still see two lines of small, blood-stained words written next to the pile of corpses.
Going over to take a look, I found something written on the ground:
"Those who do not respect morality and justice should be killed, so they killed them all, so I felt relieved and happy."
Silent, Zuo Chen flicked the rope that stood up.
The whole rope immediately went limp.
The person has long since disappeared without a trace.
The corpses here have been dead for an hour, which means that the moment the three of them were arrested, the man squatting here had already started killing people.
After killing the people, he used the magical magic rope that is exclusive to street performers and ran away in a hurry. It was estimated that he had been walking for more than half an hour.
The person just now seemed to have achieved cross-distance control by relying on this rope. It seemed that he had been preparing for a long time.
The entire compound was full of murderous blood, but there was no trace of Fang Zi's residual aura. Zuo Chen estimated that the other party had special measures to prevent tracking.
Looking at the corpses here, Zuo Chen was a little displeased, but Zuo Chen did not destroy the scene. He just recited the Sutra of Saving Sufferers and Eradicating Sins, performed rituals for all the resentful corpses here, and saved them.
After all this was over, Zuo Chen exited the alley and waited for a while before seeing several fast horses approaching from a distance.
It was Magistrate Xun who brought people here.
Caiyi also followed at the back, riding not a horse but their donkey.
The donkey did not pull the cart, but it ran very fast.
The master and apprentice of Wuwei Shanren did not come, so they should have stayed at the county government office to guard them.
"Taoist Master." Magistrate Xun dismounted sideways, saluted Zuo Chen first, then sniffed his nose, and smelled the strong smell of blood, and his face turned ugly at that time.
“It’s all inside, I didn’t touch anything.”
Nodding, Magistrate Xun led the people into the alley.
Caiyi also wanted to follow, but Zuo Chen stopped him.
“Don’t look.”
Cai Yi’s heart trembled slightly, and she probably guessed what kind of miserable situation was in the alley.
As expected, not long after, a scream came from the alley, and then a young government servant ran out of it. He was obviously new to the industry.
He started to vomit while holding on to the wall, his face turned pale, and he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well for the next two days.
Seeing this situation, Cai Yi’s face turned pale.
Although she didn't see what was at the entrance of the alley, the unknown was more frightening.
He timidly hid behind Zuo Chen, as if this could bring him a sense of security.
"Taoist Master, what happened?" But she felt itchy in her heart and couldn't help but want to ask.
Zuo Chen estimated that if he didn't tell him, Caiyi probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, so he simply told her what happened inside.
After hearing these things, Cai Yi's eyes widened.
Zuo Chen thought she was scared, but unexpectedly Caiyi hesitated for a few seconds and said:
"This sounds a bit like the body-keeping method of Shenxiansuo."
“What is that?”
"Go to heaven, pick fairy peaches, and attract the heavenly soldiers to kill the mortals."
......
The government officials later spent half a night sorting out the corpses and placing them one by one on the straw mat. , transported outside the county.
He splashed water with a basin again, so that the blood formed a small river and flowed out along the north of the county.
It is impossible to remember how many people died that night. A total of fifty-four complete bodies could be found, and some more were left incomplete.
Most of the people who died this time were members of the beggar gang in the county. There was also a family of three who lived nearby. It seemed that they were involved and were chopped into pieces, which filled the whole house.
Wuzuo moved a few relatively complete corpses back, and it was not until the morning of the next day that he got the result:
The person who committed the murder was a master, with at least half an innate ability, and his left hand He was holding a sharp weapon and brandishing a blunt weapon with his right hand. Those who had their stomachs disemboweled were all beaten with blunt weapons, and those whose limbs were cut off were all beaten with sharp weapons.
On the morning of the next day, the rooster awakened the people at dawn, and the news spread in the county.
It’s nothing more than murdering people and killing hundreds of people.
Some people say that an evil thief came from the north of the city. He got a new sword from the magic weapon list and killed everyone in the Beggar Gang to sacrifice the sword.
Some people said that the Beggar Gang people did too much harvesting, cutting and cutting, which made too many people unhappy, so they invited a crowdfunding knifeman to come over and chop people into pieces.
The most surprising thing is that some people said they saw flying immortals from the sky last night. A shadow cut through the clouds, and the bright moon also cut through the clouds. They rushed straight towards the north of the city. They should be among the Beggar Gang. Someone committed a serious crime, and heaven and earth would not tolerate it, so a divine thunder fell and killed them all.
But the specific truth is naturally unknown to the ordinary people in the town.
……
"Everyone in your Beggar Gang has been killed. Don't you plan to tell me the mastermind now?"
Xun Zhixian said sharply to the fake Taoist priest and the woman kneeling below.
He is not in good spirits right now. His hair is a little messy and he has two dark circles under his eyes. It is obvious that he did not sleep last night.
If such a major case occurs in the county, it won’t work even if all the beggar gang members die.
At least we have to find clues about the prisoner, otherwise how can we keep the county peaceful?
After these two people heard that the Beggar Gang had been slaughtered, their thoughts were gone and they immediately told everything.
Three days before the Hat Monster incident started, a man wearing heavy makeup came to see them.
The handsome man took out ten snowflakes of silver and one golden ingot, and asked the beggar to help three people, dressed as Taoist priests, monks and women respectively, to make Fangzi harm others. go.
Then there was the Hat Monster thing.
According to the Taoist priest, the flower-faced man also used street selling methods, and he was obviously better.
Before Lang Jun left, he indeed told everyone in the Beggar Gang: If his affairs were revealed even a little bit, he would make the Beggar Gang pay the price!
But I didn’t expect that the attack would be so ruthless.
The rest, they both don’t know.
After getting the clues, Magistrate Xun immediately asked people to investigate.
As for whether we can find clues...
I'm afraid it's laborious.
Zuo Chen, who had been watching the whole process, also started thinking.
There are a lot of cockroaches in Youzhou, so we probably need to start cleaning them up.
There will be another update in the evening
