Transmigrated into the original heroine whose luck was plundered
Chapter 27: Going Down the Mountain - Skinning Murder Case
Wan Ji, who sneaked to Tianding Peak to do something bad, didn't find anyone, so he was so angry that he dug a big hole outside Su Wan'er's cave!
Humph, you little brat, you dare to bully my disciple. You are so young and you don't learn well, wait and see how I deal with you, I don't believe you won't come out.
What? This is unrealistic?
What style? Who can see that it is me?
Wan Ji became angrier the more he thought about it. He knew very well that his disciple would not lie. During the confrontation between the two, she had mentioned that Su Wan'er wanted to make her cultivation level regress, but this point was ignored later.
But who is he? He is Shen Qing's master! He remembers every word Shen Qing said.
Such a well-behaved disciple of mine was plotted against like this, and the other party still had the nerve to come to me. This is intolerable.
Wan Ji cast a concealing formation on the big hole. After finishing, he clapped his hands, and did not take away a cloud.
Lu Fengxian was not unaware of Wanji's little tricks, but he thought that he also wanted to vent his anger on his disciple and he didn't go too far, so he turned a blind eye.
As for Shen Qing, she had no idea what her master had done. She practiced as usual, took on a sect mission, and went down the mountain.
*
"Young master, we will soon arrive in Moliang County." The servant lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to the young man sitting inside.
The young man's face was pale. He covered his mouth and vomited into the pot. After vomiting all over, he leaned back in the chair exhausted, his eyes dull.
Finally here...
If he keeps going, he will become a corpse sooner or later.
The servant sighed as he watched his young master suffer such a great punishment. If there hadn't been an old lady in Moliang County celebrating her birthday and needed the young men of the clan to go and give gifts, his young master wouldn't have suffered such a great punishment.
Since the carriage entered Moliang County, the shaking finally stopped and Gao Wuyang finally had some energy to observe this strange city.
Moliang County is just like its name, not prosperous, even desolate, the faces of the people here are all weathered, and there is almost no smile. There are a few people who look at the carriage, but their eyes are blank, and there is no light in their dark eyes, which is scary. Gao Wuyang felt uncomfortable watching it, so he simply lowered the curtain and stopped looking.
"Let's go to the inn early. I need to rest."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, the servant drove the carriage lightly.
Shen Qing followed the evil spirit to Moliangcheng County, but as soon as he entered the county, the evil spirit dissipated and could not be found anywhere.
"This demon is cautious."
A skinny man rushed towards Shen Qing. Shen Qing's eyes flashed and he dodged. The man fell to the ground unexpectedly.
Skinny Monkey had been stealing for so many years, but this was a rare incident. He stood up and started to curse, but when he looked around he couldn't find the young boy anymore.
The man's lips trembled. Oh my god, I saw a ghost in broad daylight!
County Office
When County Magistrate Li saw that the person sent by Xuantian Sect was just a little girl of eleven or twelve years old, he couldn't help but complain in his heart, how could someone so young know how to catch monsters?
However, thinking of the series of strange things happening in the county, County Magistrate Li decided to give it a try.
"You have come a long way, little fairy. You must have worked hard. I will make arrangements right away to welcome you."
"No need." Shen Qing waved her hand. She saw the contempt in Magistrate Li's eyes, but catching the monster was more important. Shen Qing found a place to sit down. "You said in your letter that something strange happened here. What exactly is it? Tell me in detail."
Magistrate Li sighed, "The thing is, since I took office, I have found that officials here always die for no reason."
"Just officials? What about civilians?" Shen Qing asked.
"Civilians, what can happen to civilians?"
Shen Qing thought of the numb faces and dull eyes of the people since he entered the city, and questioned it in his heart.
"continue."
"The former county magistrate and chief clerk were all skinned and stripped of their bones, leaving their flesh and blood all over the place. Their skins... were even made into sky lanterns!"
"Where are their bodies? Have they been collected?"
"He was buried a few days ago."
Thinking of the horrible deaths of his colleagues, Magistrate Li shuddered and fear filled his eyes. "My Immortal, how could an ordinary person dare to kill an official of the imperial court? This must be the work of evil spirits! You must save me!"
"Calm down first!" Shen Qing cast a heart-clearing spell on him.
County Magistrate Li suddenly came to his senses. After seeing Shen Qing's tactics, he finally dared not to look down on her.
"Why are you so sure that it must be the evil spirits causing trouble and not human beings?" Shen Qing asked again when he saw that he had come to his senses.
"When I was collecting the remains for the chief clerk, I could always hear the voice of a fox. I couldn't sleep well during those days. I kept dreaming that a fox opened its throat and swallowed me. It was only later that I asked a Taoist priest to perform a ritual that made me better."
Fox? Could it be that the evil spirit I sensed before was this fox spirit? Shen Qing looked at County Magistrate Li and felt that something was wrong. It seemed that he had to go and see the corpses of the two officials.
Shen Qing walked out of the lobby, flew onto the roof, and summoned a third-level formation. The entire county government office was instantly wrapped in the formation.
"I have set up a formation in the county government office. You should not go out these few days. If any evil spirits come to find you, I'm afraid they will be in big trouble."
County Magistrate Li's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Immortal, thank you, Immortal."
Shen Qing bid farewell to Magistrate Li and decided to visit the graves of the two officials.
Shen Qing pried open the coffin and used a knife to pick open the shroud. The moment she saw it, she couldn't help but close her eyes. Hiss, how cruel.
The bones and flesh were separated, and the body was bloody and blurred. Except for the human skin, the head and heart were gone.
Shen Qing sensed it and found it was full of demonic energy. But the person had been dead for so long, how could the demonic energy still be so strong?
Her eyes were fixed on the corpse in the coffin. She poked the knife with the tip, and a few strands of light yellow hairs stopped on the smooth blade.
Shen Qing put on gloves, picked up the hair and sniffed it carefully, and was almost sure that it was fox hair.
Even stranger.
After restoring the tomb to its original state, Shen Qing left with his sword.
Back at the county government office, Shen Qing approached Magistrate Li and asked, "You said the skins of those two officials were made into sky lanterns. Where are those skins?"
When Magistrate Li heard the word "human skin", he trembled all over. "Of course it flew up to the sky. I don't know where it landed."
Shen Qing frowned, "Okay."
Unable to count on Magistrate Li, Shen Qing had to go look for him himself.
