Weird Cultivation, I have a five-organ temple

Chapter 181 More Than One Corpse Driving Team
"I said, I said, I said... We need to transport the corpse containing the Ba poison to Lingjie Town."

The strange face in the headless butler's stomach answered while spitting out blood bubbles.

"Lingjie Town?"

Shang Lu frowned slightly when he heard the address.

Lingjie Town is the northernmost town in Luoshui County. It is in two different directions from Yunhua Mountain in the south of the county. Not only is the distance between them far, but the two also do not intersect in terms of the earth veins.

So he immediately asked, "Why send it to Lingjie Town?"

"do not know."

The strange face in the headless steward's stomach was afraid that Shang Lu would not believe it, so he hurriedly explained:

"I really don't know. The mission we received was to send the poisonous corpse to Lingjie Town. As for why we were sending it there and what we were to do after we got there, no one told us. We will only get the answer when we arrive at Lingjie Town."

Shang Lu saw that the strange face's reaction did not seem to be a lie, and thought quickly: The Chu spy chose Lingjie Town as the "delivery" address, which must not be simply to avoid being searched, there must be other arrangements and plans!

He then asked, "After arriving at Lingjie Town, to whom should we hand over the corpse containing the Badu?"

Weird Face still said "I don't know", but added: "After we arrive in Lingjie Town and stay in the post station, someone will come to take the body away and give us the next instructions."

"How do I contact these people?"

"No need to contact. There aren't many caravans carrying spices, and they come from the state of Zhu. Once the contact person receives the news, he will rush to meet us. All we have to do is hang the caravan's flag at the entrance of the post station where we stay."

When Shang Lu heard this, he immediately turned to look at Tu Bin. The latter understood what he meant and immediately pulled down a flag from one of the carriages.

The flag is triangular in shape, with a black background and a three-legged crow painted in red on it.

This is the totem of the Ju State.

There are circles of wavy lines around the flag to represent radioactive sunlight.

Shang Lu took the flag, opened it and showed it to the strange face in the headless steward's stomach.

“Is it this flag?”

The strange face has eyes, but only the white pupils are missing the black pupils. Although it can see things, it cannot see very clearly.

Shang Lu almost stuffed the flag into the headless steward's stomach, and just let him see it clearly. He said repeatedly: "It is this flag. There are three of them, one up and two down. Just hang them at the entrance of the post station."

"Go find all the flags." Shang Lu ordered without turning his head.

Tu Bin responded with a "yes", took the flag handed to him by Shang Lu, and led his men in the convoy to search for the whereabouts of the other two flags.

Shang Lu continued to question:
"Does the contact person know you?"

"do not know."

"Didn't you guys do something similar in Zhu country before? Why don't you recognize each other?"

"There are more than one team of corpse-carrying people, and there are more than one team of contact persons. We may not necessarily meet the people we met in Zhu State. Even if we do meet, we have only met once before, and we will not recognize each other if we meet again."

"There is more than one team driving the corpses?"

Shang Lu's expression froze. He didn't expect that the spies of Chu were not only cautious but also cunning, and actually came up with a saturation transportation method.

If we hadn't gotten this information out of the headless manager, and thought that by intercepting them, we could completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the Ba poison pollution, we would have fallen into a trap!

"Are those teams also driving the poisonous corpses to Lingjie Town?" Shang Lu asked hurriedly.

"Not necessarily." Strange Face said, "Before in Zhu Country, they were all sent to different locations." "Do you know where other teams will drive the poisonous corpses?"

"I don't know. We didn't communicate with each other. I only know that the team transporting corpses would not necessarily use a caravan as a cover. They would also use identities such as a theater troupe. But they have something in common. First, they would say they are from the Ju Kingdom. Second, they need to use other smells to cover up the corpse smell."

This is important news!
It seems that we should not only keep an eye on the caravan, but also on other people coming from the State of Zhu who have a strong smell!
Shang Lu only had to wait for the interrogation to be over before he could inform Feng Boyuan of the news and issue new interrogation standards to the yamen runners and county soldiers.

At this moment, he continued his previous question: "You don't know the person you are contacting, how do you confirm your identity? Aren't you afraid that the people who are looking for you are bandits who are after the spices?"

Spices are expensive items, so it's not surprising that they are targeted by thieves and bandits.

Once the headless manager told the truth, he gave up his resistance completely.

It answered honestly, "We have a secret code. When we see someone coming, we will ask 'Where are you from?' If the person on the other side answers 'Old friend from Chan Palace', then he is our person. And he will also ask us 'Where are you going?' We will go back to 'Visiting Kanghui in Youdu'. By comparing the secret code, we can determine whether he is an enemy or a friend."

Shang Lu asked a few more questions about the connection before turning his head to look at the four mud coffins in the middle of the road.

At this time, black blood kept flowing out of the mud coffin trying to break free from the seal.

Wu Zhu and her soldiers were trying their best to suppress the rebellion.

The witch had exerted too much force, and her blood vessels bulged all over her body, making her look as if she was crawling with poisonous insects like centipedes, which was very scary.

So Shang Lu asked: "How to resolve the poison?"

"I don't know." The weird-faced man replied, "We are only responsible for driving the corpses. The Ba poison is made by our country's wizards. Only they know how it is made and how to dissolve it."

Shang Lu asked again: "How did you seal the poison inside the corpse and prevent it from erupting?"

Ghost Face said: "There is a talisman given by the wizard, but after using it, it will burn and turn into ashes. We don't have any extra ones."

Shang Lu originally thought that he could ask some methods to seal the evil spirit and help the witch relieve the pressure. Now it seems that he has to let her hold on for a while longer.

Soon, Shang Lu asked all the information he wanted to know.

After finishing, he asked several questions that he had asked before in a random order.

While observing the reaction of the headless butler, see if his new answer is consistent with the previous one.

After verification, Shang Lu confirmed that the headless steward was not lying, and then he stopped interrogating him.

Seeing that Shang Lu was fine, the strange face gasped and begged: "Please, give me a quick death, you promised me..."

Shang Lu ignored him and looked up at Sanniang who was cutting his soul.

Sanniang seemed to have finished cutting the crops and nodded to Shang Lu.

Only then did Shang Lu take back his divine power.

The trapped evil spirit of the corpse began to wreak havoc once again in the body of the headless butler, erupting with even greater violent destructive power than before.

In an instant, the headless butler's body rotted into a pool of blood and flesh.

The strange face inside his stomach, which was formed somehow, did not rot.

Floating in the blood and rotten flesh.

There were no black pupils, only white eyes, flashing with an enchanting light.
