Chapter 268: Strange Corpse

When Meng Qi was lost in memories and contemplation, Li Chong competently introduced the powerful men of Yangxia to him: "That is Qiu Fei, the eldest uncle of the Qiu family, that is Jiang Yulin, the third uncle of the Jiang family, and that is the leader of the Kuanglang Gang, Wu Shengli, who is the leader of the Kuanglang Gang. He, Yan Xiao, the scarf, and Xiao Yue, the red and tender hands, each control three-tenths of the underworld in Yangxia. It is said that Hengyuan Zheng is behind them."

"Yes, the elegant lady next to Governor Zheng is Xiao Yue, the red and tender hands. Who can tell that she is the same as the scarf and Xiao Yue, the red and tender hands. How cruel? A man once peed his pants in front of her. It is rumored that she has some connection with the Zhenwu Sect. "

The five people he introduced represent the five strongest mountains in Yangxia. The eldest son of the Qiu family is the strongest, probably in his early forties. Although Meng Qi cannot judge his specific realm from his footsteps, movements, and the flow of true energy, the strange fusion between his movements and the surrounding environment is a sign of a newly promoted half-step exterior scene, a symptom that he has not yet fully adapted and stabilized after opening the gate of heaven and earth.

The other four did not deliberately conceal their own strength. Meng Qi could easily see that they all had nine orifices opened, and there was a protective aura on the surface of their bodies to isolate their true energy detection. However, the flow of their protective auras was different in strength, thickness, and thickness, and contained flaws, which was half a step worse than "Scar" Yan Xiao.

Comparatively speaking, Zheng Jushan, the chief constable, only had eight orifices, but he represented the will of the Zhao family in the capital of the gods, represented the majesty of the court, and held the righteousness in his hands. Unless it was necessary, the others would give him face.

"Who are those two young Taoist priests? Why did they bother Governor Zheng and the five of them to welcome them?" Li Chong frowned and said to himself, feeling that he had failed to live up to his reputation as a well-informed person.

Meng Qi watched Yao Xiaogui and the others disappear in the lobby of "Zuiyangxia" and said casually: "They should be the direct descendants of Zhenwu, and their status is not light."

"Well, it's possible." Li Chong thought about it and felt that Captain Su made sense. He was dressed like a Taoist priest and had a noble status. There were only direct disciples of Zhenwu in the four nearby states. "Captain Su, it just so happens that several people in charge are here. Let's go report to Governor Zheng and gather people to investigate Old Zhong as soon as possible."

Get rid of this dangerous task as soon as possible!

The heads of the Qiu and Jiang families are both old. At present, it is basically Uncle Qiu and the third son of Jiang who are in charge of the family affairs.

"I'm new here, it's not good to disturb them rashly. Why don't you go and report it yourself." Meng Qi evaded.

He didn't know if Yao Xingliu recognized him. Normally, he wasn't afraid of him recognizing him. He just wanted to find a reason to learn from him and Yang He, so as to sharpen their skills. But now, when he saw them, he would always think of Senior Brother Zhang. How could he feel when his old friend was gone? If Yao Xiaogui mentioned this, how would he answer?

It's better not to meet!

How could Li Chong understand the true intention of Captain Su? He said strangely, "It's a good opportunity to get to know each other."

Meng Qi refused a few more times. Seeing his firm attitude, Li Chong had to suppress his doubts and prepared to get up and go out.

"Old Li, don't mention that Captain Cai came out of the Qiu family's boat. Young Master Qiu is here, so as not to alert the enemy." Meng Qi suddenly remembered this point and reminded him.

"Scar"'s spirit completely collapsed. He couldn't recover without ten days or half a month of recuperation. No one could get anything out of him.

Li Chong laughed out loud: "Captain Su, don't underestimate me, Old Li. I know how to tell the difference. I can only say that Old Zhong ordered Scar to kill the sailor. The sailor only vaguely saw Captain Cai coming from the dock, and he didn't know what he was going to do."

"Old but strong!" Meng Qi smiled and gave a thumbs up.

In a yard behind "Zuiyangxia", the Yangxia tyrants were welcoming Zhenwu Yanghe and Yao Xingliu who had traveled here.

The eldest uncle of the Qiu family, Qiu Fei, was over 40 years old. Because of his profound martial arts, he broke through the gate of life and death. At first glance, he was only under 30. He sensed that his men were approaching, apologized, left the table and went out, waiting for a report.

"Master, 'Scar' Yan Xiao is seriously ill and can't come!" Qiu Fei's men reported with a little shock.

Qiu Fei was stunned and said, "Is he ill?"

Although "Scar" Yan Xiao had been indulged for many years, his body was weak and his spirit was depressed, but his kung fu did not fade so quickly, and he was still stronger than ordinary nine-orifices. How could he get sick just like that?

"Really! Uncle, you haven't seen what "Scar" looks like now. It's really hard to believe that the left-handed master who once overpowered many nine-orifices in Yangxia, the ruthless knife handle, would cry like a fragile child, incontinent, curled up, tears and snot all over his face, which is more chilling than the bandit who strangled himself to death." Qiu Fei's men talked endlessly about the news they had found out.

After all, "Scar" Yan Xiao was once his secret admirer, and the bandit came from another place, and no one knew what he looked like normally.

Qiu Fei took a breath: "When did he get sick?"

"Just two quarters of an hour ago, when Li Jiugui brought the newly appointed assistant chief constable to pay respect to the mountain, before he could say anything, 'Scar' got angry on the pretext of Chief Constable Cai, and then he got sick..." Talking about this in detail, Qiu Fei's men felt more and more weird, and they felt cold all over.

Qiu Fei frowned and thought: "What did the new assistant chief constable do? What questions did he ask?"

"According to 'Scar''s maid, Li Jiugui explained that the assistant chief constable did nothing. Just as he was about to speak, 'Scar' convulsed and got sick. At first, he foamed at the mouth, which was extremely scary. Now he looks like a child, but his condition is stable and his life is no longer in danger." Qiu Fei's men took the initiative to confess the source of the intelligence.

Qiu Fei put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth. His face gradually darkened, and he looked at his subordinates like an eagle: "Could it be that Scar took the opportunity to pretend to be sick?"

A Nine-orifice master said he would be sick, and he was facing a small assistant constable, and he was so embarrassed. How could people not speculate?

Qiu Fei's subordinates suddenly realized: "It's possible. He got sick at a good time!"

"Keep a close eye on Scar." Qiu Fei said, and was about to return to the banquet when he saw Li Chong, the drunkard, coming in timidly.

"Hello, Uncle Qiu!" Li Chong saw him and hurriedly greeted him.

Qiu Fei nodded gently: "Li Jiugui, I heard that you made Scar sick?"

"Unfair! Uncle Qiu, I am innocent! I didn't drink a sip of water or finish my words, but Boss Yan cried and shouted, and defecated and urinated." Li Chong's heart moved, and Qiu Fei knew it so quickly.

Qiu Fei did not ask further: "You are here to see Governor Zheng, right? Such a big thing happened, and you are only reporting now. Where did you go to drink?"

"Calm down, calm down." Li Chong knew that he was drunk and could not hide it from others.

Qiu Fei did not comment and went in to call out Governor Zheng.

After listening to Li Chong's story, Zheng Jushan's face was solemn, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry: "Old Zhong... It turned out to be Old Zhong..."

He pondered for a moment: "I will summon all the heroes in Yangxia immediately. You and Xiao Su will go to the city gate first."

"Zheng, Governor Zheng, are we going too?" Li Chong stuttered.

"How can you not go with the clues you asked? If Old Zhong is willing to cooperate, you will have to ask." Zheng Jushan gave the order decisively, turned around and went into the banquet, and informed the powerful people of the matter.

Yao Xiaogui was eager to try, but they had just arrived and were honored guests, so how could they let them take risks? They were persuaded with kind words.

After Zheng Jushan and others left, Yao Xingliu picked up some food and ate it angrily: "How boring."

"Junior Brother Yao, we are here to investigate the death of Senior Brother Zhang, so don't make things complicated." Yang He said calmly.

Yao Xingliu curled his lips and muttered to himself, you better go far away, don't be stupid and still hang around nearby.

…………

A group of people acted vigorously and quickly met with Meng Qi and Li Chong at the city gate and ran towards the charity cemetery outside the city.

"Mr. Cui is here too..." Li Chong looked at the white-haired old man next to Zheng Jushan, his expression surprised and relaxed.

Meng Qi deliberately slowed down and followed Li Chong at the end of the team. Hearing this, he asked, "Mr. Cui?"

"Captain Su, this is the best fighter in Yangxia." After Li Chong relaxed, he became more talkative. "When he was young, he was favored by Cui family in Pingjin because of his surname Cui and extraordinary talent. He became a guest official and was cultivated vigorously. After he was old, he returned to his hometown with the permission of Cui family. He seemed to want to become a local family. He is a first-class fighter in both the outer and outer worlds! With him, Old Zhongtou can't make any waves!"

Zheng Jushan not only invited Mr. Cui, but also invited several martial arts masters who lived in seclusion in Yangxia. Qiu Fei and Jiang Yulin also took their own treasured weapons. It is better to be careful beforehand than to regret it after the incident!

It was almost dusk, and the group saw the charity cemetery. It was well-built and not in disrepair. But even if the sun was scattered and dyed its roof golden, bright and clear, it was difficult to cover up the gloomy and cold feeling.

And near the charity cemetery, there was an equally gloomy courtyard, which was the residence of Old Zhongtou.

Just as Governor Zheng was about to shout, Mr. Cui waved his hand and told him to be patient.

The golden sunlight suddenly sank, like water, slowly flowing through the old Zhongtou's yard.

"No one, no one alive." Mr. Cui's expression tightened.

Including Meng Qi, everyone was dignified and followed Mr. Cui carefully to the yard.

The gate of the yard was ajar and opened with a push. In addition to the well, there was only an old locust tree in the yard, which seemed full of yin energy.

With a creak, Mr. Cui flicked his sleeves from a distance and opened the door. Since there were no windows, it was dark inside.

"Ah!" "Red and Soft Hands" Xiao Yue covered her mouth and cried out softly.

She was used to it, and there was no panic in her eyes.

Xiao Yue's exclamation attracted the attention of Meng Qi and others. Following her gaze, they saw corpses hanging from the beams, like a forest of corpses!

After entering the room, Mr. Cui directly checked a corpse, frowned deeply, and whispered to himself:

"Strange, what kind of martial arts is this..."

Meng Qi mixed in with them and came to a corpse. He released his spirit and explored the true qi. The vague details of the corpse came into his mind: "There are no bones? The flesh and blood meridians are all there, but there are no bones..."

"This corpse has only skin and bones, and the flesh and blood and internal organs are gone!"

"This corpse has no meridians, strange, how can the meridians and internal forces not exist, but the flesh and blood bones are intact..."

"Hey, the corpse in front of me is intact, without any injuries on the body, and he is in his prime, how did he die?"

The sound of communication sounded in Meng Qi's ears, which made him suddenly think of a martial art, and his expression suddenly became solemn:

"The Four Eclipses of the Heavenly Demon?"

"A person from a myth or a fairy?"

"Or a normal reincarnation?"
