Please slay the demon

Chapter 23 Painting Peders?
"Because I'm afraid that when I'm in class...it's...a little immodest...so..." Song Qingyi faltered to explain, and suddenly frowned, "Why should I tell you this? If you're not weird If you have anything related to the case, go back quickly!"

"I'm sorry, I'm just curious." Chu Liang smiled, and started to ask about the matter: "You should have checked the corpses of those two students. Was it really the work of the resentful spirit?"

"The death is miserable, with strong yin energy, it can be confirmed that it was killed by a ghost." Song Qingyi replied: "It's just... I always feel that it doesn't look like a wraith, but like a higher-level ghost..."

Wraith spirits do not have high spiritual intelligence, and their thinking is not clear, and they often only appear frequently in the same place.Although the obsession is deep, there will be no complicated operations.

Tricking two students from their homes to kill them by the lake is not something a wraith can do.

Unless it's a coincidence.

"But Situ Yan is just an ordinary girl with no cultivation..." Chu Liang said.

For an ordinary person without cultivation base, the strength of his soul is very limited, no matter how much resentment he has after death, he will at most be a stronger resentment spirit.

If anyone could turn into a ghost, and there was no upper limit to their strength, wouldn't they be able to take off immediately after dying?

Higher-level ghosts, either continue to rely on chance and practice to strengthen after becoming ghosts, or they have cultivation bases and spiritual powers before they are alive, this is for sure.

Situ Yan, who died not long ago, obviously did not meet these two conditions.

"So it's possible that other ghosts did the murder." Song Qingyi said, "It's also possible... that it's a demon cultivator."

Chu Liang nodded in approval.

Some demon cultivators specialize in refining resentful living souls, making them a tool or weapon for their own cultivation, with cruel and rebellious methods.

For example, the Pluto sect, which is in the limelight of the magic way, has many methods of cultivation based on ghosts.

Chu Liang also revealed to Song Qingyi what Li Jue had told him.He didn't mention the story of Li Jue and Situ Yan, but only mentioned the names of those in the class who might be retaliated by Situ Yan.

"Chen Da, Yan Xiaohu..." Song Qingyi nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will visit them both."

After some exchanges, Chu Liang left the back mountain.

Back to the Li Mansion in Yanjiao City.

"It turns out that Song Jiaoxi is from Junzitang." Lin Bei was also a little surprised when he heard the news.

There are only two Confucian sects in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. One is the Shenglong Academy, which is backed by the imperial court, and cultivates talents based on the entire Yu Dynasty.The other is the relatively independent Junzitang.

Jiangnan Gentleman Hall was originally founded by several great Confucians. At that time, several contemporary Confucian scholars often talked about learning and exchanging knowledge in the Jiangnan Yanyu Building, which was a good talk for a while.Later, great Confucians who were recognized by them can join in, and it has become a resort for exchange of ideas.

Then someone suggested that this place should be called Junzitang, and all Confucian and Taoist gentlemen who have been recognized for their conduct, knowledge, and cultivation can be inscribed on the Junzitang, and passed on to future generations, and will last forever.

Since then, the Hall of Gentlemen has become a hall of honor of Confucianism, and countless Confucian scholars have named the Hall of Gentlemen as their life goals.Gradually, Jiangnan Junzitang also developed its own inheritance and became one of the ten sects.

"Confucianists are in charge of the academy's affairs, so we shouldn't have to worry too much," Chu Liang said.

"Confucianism is good." Lin Bei thought of something, with a strange smile on his face, "I like Confucianism so much."

……

"Chen Da is dead?"

In the afternoon of the next day, Song Qingyi suddenly found Chu Liang and Lin Bei and brought bad news.

It turned out that after she finished her morning class, she went to visit student Chen Da's house in the name of teaching, and as a result, she saw the gloomy scene of Chen's family.

"This matter is quite strange." Song Jiaoxi's expression was serious.

Chu Liang and Lin Bei who listened to her story also became serious.

"According to the Chen family, since the deaths of Zhang Cong and Wu Shao'an, Chen Da has been locked in his room and dare not go out. He can only be seen when his parents deliver meals."

"Last night, when Chen Da's father was delivering food to his son, he happened to see Chen Da's mother walking in with a tray. Father Chen was still a little strange. It was Chen's mother who asked him to deliver the food, so why did he come here again? gone?"

"But when he went back to the room, he saw that Mother Chen was lying on the bed."

"Chen's father immediately felt bad, and went to Chen Da's room to check, and found that Chen Da was lying on the ground covered in charred black, as if he had been burned to death."

"But there was no smell of smoke and fire in the room, and there was no trace of burning, and Chen Da didn't make any cry for help... Just like that, he was burned to death out of thin air within a few moments."

"I've checked it. The strong Yin Qi is the means of ghosts."

Song Qingyi told the whole story without hiding anything.For her, the sooner the matter is resolved, the better, and it is naturally good for someone to help.

"The one Father Chen saw...Mother Chen who walked into Chen Da's room was transformed by a ghost." Chu Liang thought for a while, and said, "There are not many ghosts that can change the appearance of others at will."

It is not difficult to disguise the human form, and many evil spirits can do it.But it is very difficult to transform into the appearance of any random person at will.

In addition to possessing ever-changing supernatural powers, there are some unique racial talents, such as the fox clan among monsters, or the...

"Painted Skin Ghost!" Lin Bei also called out.

"That's right, only the Painted Skin Ghost can transform others at will. Those two students were probably tricked to the lake by the Painted Skin Ghost before." Song Qingyi said.

But how could Situ Yan, who had just died, become a painted skin ghost with supernatural powers?
If the murderer wasn't Situ Yan, why did it kill the people she wanted to take revenge on?

Painted skin ghosts are unpredictable, and their whereabouts are erratic, and they are a hundred times more difficult to deal with than wraiths.

It can be seen that Song Qingyi frowned, obviously suffering from a headache.

"Song Jiaoxi, don't worry, our Shushan disciples have always taken the responsibility of eliminating demons and defending the way, and we will not let the evil spirits commit crimes. We will definitely help you with all our strength!" Lin Bei promised, patted his chest.

Then when he returned to Li's mansion, he stared at Chu Liang.

"Think of a way, pretty boy." He said eagerly, "It's because of your ingenuity that I asked you to come out with me on this mission."

"You promised Song Jiaoxi, why do you want me?" Chu Liang said with a smile, "Isn't our task just to be optimistic about Li Jue?"

"Don't you want to see Professor Song's sweet smile?" Lin Bei said suddenly.

"I just want to fight evil spirits." Chu Liang responded ruthlessly.

But of course he will not do nothing, after all, the existence of painted skin ghosts in the world is extremely harmful and must be eradicated as soon as possible.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Regardless of the identity of this Painted Skin Ghost, its actions follow the trajectory of Situ Yan's revenge. In this case, as long as we keep its target, we will always catch it."

After finishing speaking, he got up and said, "You are optimistic about Li Jue, I will go find Yan Xiaohu."

"Why are you going out again? You were the one who went out last night, but I met Song Jiaoxi by chance. Today I want to go out!" Lin Bei stood up and said.

Chu Liang said: "Then I have a way to distinguish the painted skin ghost, do you have it?"

"..." Lin Bei sat down gently again, "Come back and bring me a midnight snack."

Chu Liang came all the way to Yan Xiaohu's house, saying that he was his good friend and wanted to visit his injury.In the end, I heard from the family member of the Yan family that the young master had already gone out to play.

He was beaten so badly yesterday, and he thought he was recuperating at home because he didn't go to school, so he just ran out to play.

It seems that this guy's physical fitness is also good.

Chu Liang asked again: "Then where did Yan Xiaohu go to play?"

The family Ding replied with a smile: "You must not be familiar with my young master, of course he went to Caiyue Tower."
