Transmigration begins with archery training
Chapter 53
Morning drills, afternoon city patrols.
After reporting the disappearance of living people, Xiang Tingchun immediately began sending people to patrol the city every day.
Moreover, he has a very short temper.
Those above the rank of colonel are basically scolded every day.
After all, the selection officer is about to arrive. Putting aside the matter of the immortal treasure, the fact that people are dying every day and the murderer still can't be caught is enough to charge him with dereliction of duty.
The issue is.
I really can't find it.
The deaths of so many people could not have been caused by just one or two individuals.
But Poyang County is such a small place, it's impossible for them to find another place like Jinzhong Temple to hide in.
Unless, the killers weren't actually from the Witch God Cult!
Therefore, it is understandable that no clues can be found.
Chen Sanshi couldn't help but recall the Medicine Valley he had encountered on the mountain that day.
It's not normal to block them from that distance.
I just don't understand why a martial arts school would kill someone.
Let's go up the mountain and take a look!
I can take care of some things while I'm at it.
There are still nearly two hundred taels of silver at home, which is enough, but it would be nice to hunt a bear or something, since we can't make a wasted trip.
……
The next morning, Chen Sanshi set off.
"In the past few days, people have still gone missing, but..."
Zhao Qiao and his group followed behind, saying, "They're all country folk."
"countryside?"
Chen Sanshi was so engrossed in martial arts that he didn't participate in the city patrol. He only knew about the dead people and was unaware of this other matter.
"Correct."
Wu Da said, "At first, there were people from both the county town and the countryside, but gradually, only people from the countryside went missing, which to put it bluntly, they were poor people."
Chen Sanshi felt even more uneasy.
The Witch God Cult kills people regardless of whether they have money or not.
Only "our own people" would do something like this.
After going up the mountain, he headed straight for the Medicine Valley.
Before he even reached the destination, he could see three figures standing at the only road leading to the Medicine Valley.
Liang Zhan, Song Laowu, and another young man in his thirties.
The young man's clothes had cloud patterns on the front.
Given his demeanor and status being equal to the other two, he's probably the young owner of Yunhe Martial Arts School who had his family business seized by his uncle before turning the tables.
Why is it that lately, these pampered young masters all seem to like going deep into the mountains and forests?
One person is one thing, but three people getting together? Are they just bored out of their minds?
Furthermore, just two miles outside Medicine Valley, martial arts disciples were everywhere on guard, not even letting a bird in, clearly indicating that there was some unspeakable secret.
Think back carefully.
The mediocre student at Yunhe Martial Arts School suddenly broke through at a critical moment.
In the county town, people started going missing around those few days.
There's also Song Laowu.
There were rumors that his father was dying and urgently needed Bai Lu to heal his wounds.
The results of it?
So much time has passed, and I haven't heard of any funeral being held at the Tai Lei Martial Arts School.
Looking at Song Laowu, he didn't seem anxious at all.
No wonder I watched helplessly as he took the white deer away last time; he probably has some special way to heal the wound.
All the traces were pieced together.
The disappearance of civilians is inextricably linked to them!
There is currently no evidence.
Chen Sanshi did not intend to approach rashly.
There are three bone-training practitioners right in front of me.
There must still be a few old servants hiding in the Medicine Valley.
Concealing one's presence isn't invisibility; if they're caught, these people might resort to desperate measures.
I'll go back and break through to the Great Perfection of Blood Refinement first. The Ten-Stone Heavy Bow will be ready soon too.
Make sure you can escape unscathed if you encounter a bone-training exercise, then come back and investigate further.
Having made up his mind, Chen Sanshi left quietly.
……
"No more people can die."
Liang Zhan advised the two people beside him, "Let's stop for now."
"It doesn't matter!"
Master Song said confidently, "They've all brought in poor country bumpkins; no one will stand up for them."
"Xiang Tingchun has started investigating again. Doesn't Fifth Brother know?"
Liang Zhan sighed and said, "Let's stop for now. Anyway, your father's injuries have been healed, and we are still lacking the most crucial immortal treasure. Killing more people won't make a bigger difference."
"Brother Pan."
Master Song looked at the young master of Yunhe Martial Arts School: "You're not hiding something, are you?"
"Absolutely not."
Pan Quan's expression tightened: "I only managed to regain my family business with the help of the two of you, how could I dare to continue to hide anything? The Immortal Treasure is definitely in Xiang Tingchun's hands, I guarantee it!"
"Xiang Tingchun is a bastard."
Master Song cursed, "We've been sending him money, food, and medicine for a month, and he won't even let us see a glimpse of his magical treasure!"
"We really can't go on like this."
Liang Zhan said with worry, "We still don't know what a celestial treasure is. Couldn't Xiang Tingchun at least open the box and show it to us? These Refining Viscera Martial Artists are going too far."
"On one hand, people don't know what a magical treasure is, and on the other hand, even if they have one, they don't know how to use it. This is a mess."
"Stop the supply of money, food, and medicine; we can't keep compromising like this."
"I agree with this opinion."
……
Leave Medicine Valley.
Chen Sanshi hunted a black bear.
For him now, he can easily handle it all by himself.
They arrived at the stream and met up with Zhao Qiao and the others.
Unexpectedly, they managed to get their hands on several wolves.
"Hunting luck has picked up lately."
Chen Sanshi first congratulated them, then poured cold water on their enthusiasm: "But I want to advise you not to go up the mountain for now, it might be dangerous."
Everyone knows that the martial arts school is the one committing the murder, so they should advise the perpetrators based on both reason and emotion.
"Why, Brother Shi?"
Wu Da asked in bewilderment, "We finally found a place; we're sure we can still shoot wolves tomorrow."
"Can stones really harm us?"
Zhao Qiao, being the oldest, knew there was a reason for it: "Starting tomorrow, we won't go up the mountain anymore."
Zhuang Yi said with difficulty, "Our family is almost starving."
"I will give you the food."
Chen Sanshi is not short of money now.
"no!"
Zhao Qiao refused, saying, "Shi Tou, we are already very grateful that you are willing to take us up the mountain to hunt. How could we possibly ask for your food?"
"Consider it a loan from me. You can pay me back next spring."
Only after Chen Sanshi said this did they agree.
Sell the black bear.
Chen Sanshi rushed back to the military camp, intending to break through to the Great Mastery level in one go.
Military camp, pharmacy.
"There are no more medicinal herbs?"
Chen Sanshi, who came to buy tonics, was informed that the warehouse was empty, with only blood-nourishing soup left, but no vital energy-nourishing soup.
"The third day of each month was originally the time when the martial arts school would send money, food and medicine over."
Physician Jiang, controlling the heat with a palm-leaf fan, said unhurriedly, "They've been late for days, and we haven't seen them at all. I knew it! Why would they keep sending things? They've lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in just this month."
"Give me a bowl of blood-nourishing soup first."
Chen Sanshi said.
He could roughly guess what was going on.
Xiang Tingchun's scheme to get something for nothing is almost over.
The martial arts school isn't stupid; they wouldn't be willing to keep bleeding money for nothing if they hadn't even seen the item.
It remains to be seen how Xiang Tingchun will respond next.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with him.
