Writing a thesis in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 31

When everyone hurried to Cangzhou, it was dark. Because the lord of Cangzhou City was killed, the local governor ordered the entire city to be sealed up. Therefore, they did not see anyone else except the military officers along the way.

A few people came outside Cangzhou City, and they could see the yin energy coming from Cangzhou City from a distance. The whole city seemed to be shrouded in death, which made people feel daunting.

The crowd headed by Liancheng walked up to the soldiers guarding the city gate, Liancheng took out a token, and the soldier hurriedly saluted everyone respectfully when he saw Shang Yixi behind him: "Greetings, all the immortals!"

Lian Chengchao nodded and asked, "Where is the body of the city lord now?"

"Young ones, let's lead the immortals there." The soldier said to everyone respectfully, then looked at the people beside him and motioned for them to open the city gate.

The vermilion door opened slowly with a mellow sound. As the door opened, a strong yin energy rushed towards everyone. Qi Fan frowned slightly, and took a step behind Xiuzhu to avoid the strong Yin Qi.

"The body of the city lord is hung here, because the matter is too strange, the governor told me not to act rashly."

The soldier respectfully led a few people into the city gate, he stopped, looked at the scene in front of him and said with a sad face.

Everyone followed him slowly into the city gate, and when they saw the people hanging above the city gate, they all froze in place with panicked faces, and even the disciples of Qiongyu Palace were so disgusted that they couldn't stop retching.

The person at the gate of the city was a middle-aged man wearing obscene clothes. The man was fat and his pale face was full of fat. His eyes were wide open, full of horror.

His hands and feet were cut off and only a trace of skin remained. After a few days, his body began to decompose, and a stench came from his body.

A bunch of milky white maggots were faintly wriggling at the place where it was cut off. A big hole was dug out in his chest, and his heart was pulled out and placed in front of his stomach. Because he ate meat all the year round, the heart was surrounded by The fat meat was also covered with maggots. His body was covered with blood, which had already turned dark red. On the ground under his body was also a large pile of dark red dried blood. There were many mosquitoes in midsummer. There were still a few flies buzzing around the bloodstain.

"vomit..."

Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone who had never left Qiongyu Palace turned pale with nausea and retched loudly.

Liancheng looked at the scene in front of him, although he didn't retch like other people, but he still looked uncomfortable. Wei Jie looked at the tragic scene in front of him coldly with no expression on his face, his eyes were deep and calm.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Qi Fan frowned slightly, his paper was really bloody...

"Put him down"

Liancheng frowned and said to the soldier beside him, the soldier responded and called for others to help.

"The Immortal Master!"

A voice came from the front, and everyone followed the sound, only to see a year-round man in a red official's headband and black gauze running towards them, maybe he ran a little too fast, his head was covered with sweat, and he was panting again and again.

Running in front of several people, he wiped the sweat off his head and put on the hat on his head again. His small eyes glanced at everyone's swords, and then he walked up to Wei Jie with a bitter face, and said in a painful voice: "Master Immortal! You have to save me!"

The man, the governor of Cangzhou, Rong Ji, cried in front of Wei Jie, making a gesture to put his hands on Wei Jie.

Wei Jie dodged him slightly, and Rong Ji was embarrassed for a moment, then he withdrew his hand and continued to cry: "Master Immortal, this villain is the governor of Cangzhou County, the city owner's family was brutally poisoned, and it's time for me to come to you next." I don’t want to die, Immortal Elder, you must save me, I’ll give you whatever you want as long as you can save me.”

After Rong Ji finished speaking, his greasy face turned red, and he looked at Wei Jie with tears in his eyes.

Wei Jie stood on the spot without speaking or looking at him, exuding an aura of keeping strangers away.

Rong Ji stood there in embarrassment, a tear that was finally squeezed out was hanging on his face, looking very funny.

Seeing that Wei Jie didn't want to talk to him at all, Rong Ji turned his small eyes and ran to Lian Cheng, crying again.

Liancheng has a gentle temperament, but he doesn't have a good impression of someone like Rongji who yells and cries. He moved to the side in a little disgust, and then comforted him: "I, Qiongyu Palace, take it as my duty to eliminate demons and defend the way. We will do our best to restore peace to the people.”

Hearing his words, Rong Ji nodded excitedly, and the fat of the two trembled with his movements.

Liancheng had no intention of entangled with him, so he said: "Please governor take me to the city lord's mansion."

Rong Ji heard the words and looked at the soldiers beside him, and said in a bad tone: "You guys, hurry up and take all the immortal masters to the City Lord's Mansion."

After speaking, he looked at Liancheng and said flatteringly: "The villain still has a lot of official business to deal with, so let this soldier take all the immortal masters there."

Liancheng glanced at him and then nodded indifferently. He said to the soldier, "Transport the body of the city lord to the city lord's mansion together."

The soldiers nodded respectfully when they heard the words, and carried the body of the city lord to the front of the city lord's mansion together.

Cangzhou County is located in the northeast, and the distance from Kyoto is about ten days away.Cangzhou County is a prosperous and lively county, and there are various buildings along the way.

However, contrary to the bustling appearance, there is no one on the street, even the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs can hardly be heard, and there is basically no other movement except for the footsteps of a few people.

The yin qi in Cangzhou County is far more than that felt at the gate of the city. The yin qi enters the body. If ordinary people live in such an environment, they will inevitably lose their lifespan and suffer from many diseases.Even the weaker disciples in the group turned pale.

Seeing this, Liancheng asked those disciples with weaker cultivation to find an inn to stay first, and the rest went to the City Lord's Mansion together.

Everyone came to the gate of the city lord's mansion, and looked at the majestic vermilion gate in front of them, frowning secretly. A city lord's mansion was built so grandly, and they thought it was a corrupt official for the common people.

The dark energy in Cangzhou County came from the city lord's mansion. There was a dark cloud over the city lord's mansion, and the whole mansion was filled with gloomy and dead air. Thinking of what was said on the letter paper, everyone's expressions changed slightly.

The soldiers on the side stepped forward and opened the door.

He looked a little moved by the scene in the mansion, and his hand trembled slightly when he placed it on the door.

Everyone stepped forward and slowly approached the city lord's mansion, and the smell of blood and rancidity came to their faces.

Have you ever seen purgatory on earth?

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tong Yi couldn't hold back the nausea that he had been suppressing all this time, so he vomited all of a sudden.

Except for him, most of the people are the same, with weak legs and feet.

Wei Jie looked at the scene in front of him, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but he held the two hands quietly.

In the hall in front of you, a large group of men, women, old and young were hung on the beams with their hands and feet chopped off with hideous expressions on their faces.

The underground of the hall is full of dry and worried blood, because no one dares to come here, so they have maintained this state until now, their faces covered with corpse spots are full of maggots, which is almost the same as the city lord lying on the side.

The oldest among those people was a wealthy old lady with white hair and rich clothes, and the youngest was a seven or eight-year-old girl in the corner.

Everyone was suspended facing the gate, staring at them with wide-eyed eyes full of resentment, which made people feel chills on their backs.

Liancheng glanced at the soldier whose legs were limp on the ground in fright, then called out a sword and stepped up to the corpse, holding his breath and looking at the corpse in front of him, he swung the sword and put everyone on the ground.

He put away his sword and carefully inspected the corpses of these people.

Qi Fan glanced at Nangong Zui, and Nangong Zui nodded knowingly, letting the latter step forward and investigate carefully.

"How about it?"

Qi Fan came to Nangong Zui and asked, frowning. Nangong Zui didn't seem to feel the tragedy and stench before him. He peeled off the clothes on the chest of a male corpse in front of him, and saw the man The chest was covered with corpse spots at this time, the corpse was very emaciated, different from the carrion on the face, basically there was only one layer of skin on the body, it looked like a dry bone.

Nangong Zui looked at the male corpse in front of him, his expression became more and more serious, his beautiful brows were tightly frowned, his face was unprecedentedly serious.

Qi Fan didn't bother him when he saw this, and followed his movements to observe.

Nangong Zui frowned. He stripped off the clothes of the other corpses. Just like the first corpse, there was basically no meat on their bodies, as if they had been hungry for a long time, but according to the various states of their bodies, they were dead. It's only been a few days, it can't be like this.

"Here"

Qi Fan, who was standing behind Nangong Zui, suddenly pointed to the temple part of the corpse's head.

Nangong was stunned for a moment, looked carefully, and saw a small hole in the acupuncture point of the corpse, the hole was very small, if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't notice it at all.

"It's a pinhole"

Nangong said in a drunken voice.

Lian Cheng heard the words on the side and looked carefully, just like what Nangong Zui said, there is a small needle hole in the middle of every corpse.

"What are these pinholes for?"

Liancheng looked at Nangongzui suspiciously, Nangongzui shook his head, and said, "It's hard to say, needles in this world have many uses, the depth of the needle and the different things on the needle will produce different effects."

Nangong Zui looked at the corpse below and shook his head secretly.

Those who secretly framed them always used poison, whether it was poisonous corpses or poison in the mist.

If these were done by the same person, then something must have been poisoned on these corpses.

It's just that he really couldn't figure out how to kill the person.

Nangong Zui took out a dagger from the treasure bag, and gently cut open the flesh at the temple of the corpse in front of him along the surrounding of the pin buckle.

Then he took out a small bottle and put the piece of meat in the bottle and put it back again.

"Take it back and study it."

Nangong Zui wiped his hands and stood up from the ground, laughing at Qi Fan.

"You move these corpses to one place and burn them together for a while."

Liancheng said to the soldiers: "These people have suffered tragic deaths, and there is constant resentment in their bodies. You are afraid that they will kill others, so you burn them all."

The soldiers nodded repeatedly when they heard the words. Seeing the immortal masters walking casually among the corpses in front of them, they gradually became less afraid.

Liancheng looked at Wei Jie who was silent at the side and said: "I am a disciple of Qiongyu Palace who is not good at saving souls. Fellow Daoist Wei is a disciple of Daoist Ming and Qing. Please ask Fellow Daoist Wei to save souls for him later."

Wei Jie nodded to him upon hearing this.

Everyone arranged the piles of corpses one by one, and then pasted talisman papers around the hall.

Wei Jie stood in front of the pile of corpses and closed his eyes slightly, only to see the Feng Ling Sword suddenly appearing around him, the Feng Ling Sword is a great artifact, which Wei Jie formed by chance many years ago.

Wei Jie's thin lips parted slightly, and he silently recited the incantation. As he chanted, the Feng Ling Sword slowly moved to the top of the pile of corpses, and the edge of the sword gradually emitted white light.After a while, the entire blade of the sword suddenly turned at a speed invisible to the naked eye. As it turned, a large thick black air gradually rose from the pile of corpses, and Wei Jie said, "Shut up!" It was inhaled by Feng Lingjian and turned into a beard.

After completing the soul saving step, he opened his eyes and reached out to catch the Feng Ling Sword in the air.

There was silence all around, and everyone looked at him with awe in their eyes.

Qi Fan looked at Wei Jie in the crowd, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, his eyes were full of complacency.

"It's getting late at this time, and the governor ordered the younger one to take all the immortal masters to the other courtyard for a short rest."

The soldiers on the side looked at the crowd and said respectfully.

Liancheng laughed and said, "It's so rewarding."

Everyone packed up their things and left the haunted house under the moonlight.

"what happened?"

Qi Fan looked at Nangong Zui who bowed his head and said nothing.

Nangong Zui didn't seem to hear yes, and walked in a daze, staring at the front and distracted.

Qi Fan frowned slightly, and followed his gaze.

the direction he is looking

It's Wei Jie...
