Su Che felt that his ability to tell lies without changing his face was already perfect.
For Lu Bai to go to Jiankang, it is definitely not as simple as making money.
Money was very important to me in my previous life, but it has no meaning to me now.
Money now is just a tool that allows you to accomplish what you want.
The most important thing is to bring the Dulingsu clan’s manpower to Tianan County and Cizhou.
Zhu Yi did not have suitable official uniforms here, and Su Che also expressed his understanding.
With the owl kiss ring here, not to mention the official uniform of the Deputy Qianhu of Li Xing, even the official uniform of the emperor can come at once.
Su Che wrote a letter, stamped it with the seal of Qianhu, deputy director of justice and punishment, which he carried with him, and gave it to Zhu Yi to ask him to borrow someone from the Tianan County government office.
The Tiqi does have clear regulations. Tiqi stationed in local areas need to hide their identities, but the rules are dead, and they were all set many years ago.
Those worthy people in Tianan County naturally know who the silk shop owner Zhu is, just like they know that Tongde Building is the property of Langya Wang family.
Some things and identities are destined to be hidden from others.
The government officials arrived soon. There were sixteen of them in total, led by a catcher. Each one of them looked very energetic. They were also fully equipped with iron rulers, long knives, and binding ropes. .
Every one of them looked quite nervous.
Conquering demons and catching ghosts is basically no longer under the control of government officials in this world.
Originally, it was none of their business.
"Not much to say."
Zhu Yi tied a cowhide belt, put on the official uniform of Tiqi, and wore a black gauze on his head. How many years of Tiqi career are there left? The evil spirits that had survived the beatings were divided, and with a glance, all the government officials were awe-inspiring.
"What we are going to take this time is a corpse demon. You don't have to be afraid. This ineffective monster, just think of it as a stronger thief."
"Wait. Please follow me, be careful, and do whatever is asked of you. Don’t do any unnecessary things. If you do well, the county magistrate will record your merits, and we will also award you with rewards.”
"If you don't do well, you'll have to say ugly things in front of you. Don't blame the ruthless national laws!"
After saying that, Zhu Yi handed over to Su Che.
"Master Li Xing, do you have anything to say?"
"Just lead people to do things."
Su Che did not go to the county government office. He told Zhu Yi the location of the old house. This man was also a veteran among Tiqi, so he naturally knew how to deal with it.
As for those corpse monsters.
Zhu Yi is right, they are all useless.
Not to mention that these government officials were well-equipped with weapons, and Zhu Yi, an old Tiqi, was personally holding the battle. Even a group of farmers who were pressing hard could drive them away.
Zhu Yi led the team and followed Su Che's previous instructions to lead the way and capture the head.He led the government officials to follow closely behind. Although the journey was not a grand one, it also attracted countless sideways glances.
Tianan County is used to singing and dancing, but the official uniforms of Tiqi are still too eye-catching on the street.
This should be the right place.
Zhu Yi looked at the white walls and black tiles in front of him. He had been slacking off in the past few years. Whose family is this deep house?
"Who was this family before?"
"It was the old house of the Shen family in the county. Five or six years ago, the county was hit by a plague, and many people died of the disease. The Shen family Men Liangjian is dead. The county asked them to seal up their house."
The head catcher made it very clear: "I was the one who did this job at that time, and the coffin should have been sealed in the Shen family. "In the hall."
"Not buried?"
Zhu Yi frowned.
Generally speaking, if there is no one to bury the whole family, the government should organize the burial.
Tianan County did not take this step.
"Sir, the court has such a law, but we in Tian'an pay attention to the funeral ceremony of each person. When a person dies, his own family must be brought down. This kind of annihilation of the family is unworthy. Ancestors are not allowed to enter their graves."
It's weird.
Of course Zhu Yi knew the customs of Tian'an County, he just wanted to use the arrester's mouth to tell the master of punishment and pick him out.
"Lao Zhu, we are here to take care of things. Don't let old scores go over."
Su Che interrupted.
"Do the work."
"I have the order."
Zhu Yi held the straight knife around his waist and walked to the door of the Shen family mansion in a few steps. There is a seal from Tianan County on it.
Exposed to wind and sun, rain and frost, this seal has long been in disarray.
"Tiqi Cizhou Qianhu Office is here to open the seal."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and flicked it in the air, peeling off the seal piece by piece. With a wave of palms and a blast of palm wind, the long-decayed door slowly opened with a creaking groan.
A good tree packing root.
Su Che praised in his heart.
The cultivators among Tiqi are different from those cultivators from Jingyesi who came from the Jianghu. They were originally transformed from the elites of Taizu Taizu of Daliang, so most of them are from the martial arts lineage. way.
No matter how Zhu Yi is in Tianan County, the sharpness with which he made his move just now shows that he has not forgotten the foundation of his family.
Since it is the handle of the knife in the hands of the imperial court, it is still necessary to rely on the fists to speak.
Withered vines and old trees, broken wells and ruins, the door opened, and a crow sounded. Zhu Yi unsheathed his long sword and walked slowly into this dusty mansion.
The head catcher led a group of government officials and followed closely behind.
"Do you remember where the spirit stopped?"
"It should be in the hall."
Zhu Yi walked around the shadow.He stood against the wall, swiped the long knife in his hand, cut away the dead grass and vines, and walked straight towards the foyer.
This mansion of the Shen family can really be regarded as a deep courtyard. The courtyard is very deep, and brick by brick, the layout of the house can be seen that a lot of thought was spent on it.
It’s a pity that things have changed and people have changed, and in the end it was all in vain.
Zhu Yi led people into the foyer of the Shen family mansion. The furniture and furnishings here had long been taken away, leaving only seven huge coffins propped on the ground, with four benches placed under each.
In front of the coffin was a layer of yellow paper pressed with broken bricks.
"Sir..."
After Zhu Yi rushed into the hall, he looked at Su Che hesitantly.
Su Che frowned slightly.
Although there is still a hint of evil here, it is just a remnant.
If you feel good, those corpse monsters are no longer here.
"Open the coffin."
Su Che waved his hand slowly, signaling the officials to retreat.
Zhu Yi swung his long sword, and his whole body whirled around like a kite. The sharp blade opened the coffin boards one by one with force.
Click.
The old and heavy coffin opened in response, revealing the corpse inside.
Four men and three women were all dead but not stiff, with ulcers all over their bodies. Among them were the lady and the maid whom Su Che had seen in the courtyard that day.
It’s just that each corpse has been unfolded, and a long iron nail has been driven into the heart.
"Sir?"
Zhu Yi looked at Suche.
"Lao Zhu, come and take a look."
Su Che walked to the lady's body.
"In your opinion, how many years has it been since this thing became a climate?"
"Reporting to your lord, I think these corpse monsters have shriveled skin like zombies, which is obviously not a climate. Generally speaking, , whether the corpse demon collects the essence and blood of ordinary people or attracts the essence of the sun and the moon, it will take three or four years to restore the appearance before death."
"The Shen family is what it was six years ago. The plague killed them all. My subordinates judged that they should have transformed into corpses soon."
"The most common method of suppressing zombies is to dismember them. "Zhu Yi looked at Su Che and said, "Is it possible that some cultivator discovered something unusual here and acted righteously?"
Su Che said. He waved his hand outward to signal to the group of government officials.
"You retreat outside the courtyard first, seal off the surrounding area, and don't let anyone else come in. Even though the corpse demon is gone, the corpse poison is still there."
The head catcher is eager to get out of this trouble quickly. place, I heard that corpse poison was still stored here, so I immediately led my men and left quickly.
After all the government officials had withdrawn, Su Che used his magical power to make a move, and the iron nail on the corpse demon's heart flew up and crossed the air.
"What a coincidence to be a chivalrous person."
"What do you mean, sir?"yes? "
Zhu Yi doesn't know what medicine is being sold in the gourd of Mr. Li Xing in front of him.
The corpse demon is dead and the matter is over.
" If you look at this iron nail, can you see any clues? "
The iron nails are dark and gloomy, painted with a layer of vermilion paint, and look ordinary.
" Adding insult to injury. "
Su Che looked at the broken corpse of the corpse demon.
"These wounds were caused by sword energy, and the person who did it has already condensed the sword spirit. "
Su Che has been practicing hard on the Abi Sword in the Prison recently, and a group of hungry ghosts and evil spirits have used it to practice. His experience in the sword has been improved by leaps and bounds. Through the scars on the corpse, he can immediately determine who did it. He should be a sword cultivator, or his swordsmanship is not weak, at least he has mastered the sword evil spirit.
"A sword cultivator who has mastered the sword evil spirit and killed a few unworthy corpse monsters has already become a master." Killing chickens with a bull's knife, just beheading people and leaving them with iron nails. Could it be that these things are the thousand-year-old corpse kings? "
" Sir, are you saying that that person did this on purpose and wanted to mislead us? ”
“Zombie demons are caused by the influence of the evil qi of heaven and earth, especially the filthy qi of the underground, which can easily trigger their transformation into corpses. "
Su Che pointed to the bench under the coffin.
" Let's not talk about Tian'an County's custom of not allowing families to be buried. These coffins are hanging in the air, underground. Where does the bad smell come in? ”
“Someone must have arranged it deliberately. Zhu Yi looked at Su Che in surprise: "But what use can these useless corpse monsters do?" ”
“I’m thinking about this too. ”
“Yellow paper. "
Zhu Yi sheathed his sword.
Throwing aside the remaining bricks on the ground, he stretched out his hand to catch the yellow paper.
"Be careful. "
Su Che flicked his fingertips and shot out a sword energy.
The target was Zhu Yi's wrist. Su Che's sword energy did not use any force, but only hit his hand. He felt numb.
Zhu Yi looked at Su Che suspiciously.
“You can’t take things randomly. ”
Su Che pointed his finger and blew up a gust of wind, blowing the yellow papers into the air.
The yellow papers were like the autumn wind sweeping across the fallen leaves. Judging from the material, they were the same as those sold at the door of the City God’s Temple. There is no difference in the appearance of the yellow paper.
But there is only one with a lifelike and ferocious blood eye drawn on it, as if it were painted with blood.
"This one. yes? "
The Yin Fire of the Nine Nether Burning God flew out, wrapping the yellow talisman. In the blue flames, the bloody eye couldn't help but twitch, like a living thing.
< p>"There should be more. "Su Che looked at the yellow papers in front of the coffins.
As expected, someone secretly arranged it.
