Daoist priest, stop fighting. The avenue is almost gone.

Chapter 27 Investigation.
After a while, a group of four people arrived around the Wang family's residence. Zhang Captou and several pale-faced government servants were nearby to seal off the scene to avoid being destroyed.

Yi Chen and the other two stopped at the entrance of the mansion.

There were three corpses lying on the street outside the door. Each one had been disemboweled and their livers were missing. One of the corpses wearing black brocade clothes was the worst. The depth and number of the knife wounds were a bit more than the others.

Master Lianhua knelt down and after careful inspection, he showed a thoughtful expression.

"Judging from the position where the corpses fell and the wounds on their bodies, these three people were killed while still alive by having their livers ripped out."

"Before they died, these people's eyes were bulging and their expressions were frightened, but they did not run away or make a sound. This evil spirit may have the ability to mentally shock or control other people's bodies."

"Mage's insight." Yi Chen and the other three nodded in approval.

The four of them filed into the house immediately.

As soon as he entered the door, a strong smell of blood hit his nostrils. Master Shuiyue's pointed nose twitched and his brows furrowed.

Taoist Priest Qingxu behind him said at this time: "How about we split up to investigate and exchange information later?"

Naturally, Yi Chen and the other two people had no reason to disagree. After all, the Wang family's mansion was so big, and if four people crowded together to inspect it one by one, how long would it take to find out?

In the blink of an eye, several people were walking in different directions.

Master Shuiyue went to the backyard. The backyard was where the female family members lived. It was most appropriate for her to go to investigate, and it was also a sign of respect for the deceased if conditions allowed.

After all, Zhang Captou had said that the eldest lady of the Wang family was torn apart. In this huge mansion, ten people couldn't put together a complete pair of underwear. Yi Chen and the three of them were all men. It was most appropriate for Master Shuiyue to step in.

Seeing that Taoist Qingxu and Master Lianhua had gone to different places, Yi Chen rolled his eyes and strolled along the wall.

After a while, Yi Chen saw a corpse lying next to the wall. He was dressed as a warrior and looked like he was dead. He left a long and narrow bloody handprint on the wall made of blue bricks. His chest was broken open from the front, and his body was red. The white ones flowed all over the floor.

There was still a weird look of joy on his face.

Yi Chen looked up at the two-meter-high courtyard wall, and then at the corpse in front of him. The man was over 1.8 meters tall and strong. Judging from his physique, it seemed that he had practiced some external skills such as body training. .

Seeing this, he couldn't help but have a puzzled look on his face.

He stretched out his fingers and pinched the skin of the corpse. The tentacles were as tough as touching a layer of cowhide.

Well, what a strong corpse.

He is a master, no wonder he can escape to the wall.

But at this time, Yi Chen's doubts became more intense.

This man is tall and powerful, has practiced foreign martial arts, and has a masculine spirit. Why can't he climb over a wall more than two meters high?

Why did the corpse still wear a weird smile after death?

How did this evil spirit do it?
temperament?mind control?
Even if more than 200 pigs stood to be killed, it would take a long time to kill them. Not one of the more than 200 pigs in the Wang family's mansion escaped, and the surrounding neighbors did not hear any movement.

"interesting."

Yi Chen frowned, and he walked around the wall again, and saw several scattered corpses one after another.

The doubts in my heart are getting stronger and stronger.

He thought for a moment, jumped up, and climbed out of the wall. He exerted force on his feet and circled around the four gates of Fengyun City. He secretly checked the cracks in the Bagua evil mirror at the four gates. Finally, he returned to the Wang family's mansion.

It was already the zenith of the sun, and the three masters of Lianhua had just finished their survey. Under the guidance of Zhang Captou, the four of them went to Shilixiang, the largest restaurant in Fengyun County, to have dinner and exchange information.

Several people were accustomed to seeing corpses. Including Master Shuiyue, there was no reason why they couldn't eat after seeing the corpses. As soon as the dishes were served, everyone started to eat happily.

No hurry.

With someone's turbulent attitude, they were afraid that they would not be able to eat if it was too late.

Unlike someone who came here after eating several bowls of noodles in advance, they didn't even eat breakfast.

A plate of green vegetables and two chopsticks were gone. A plate of elbows was grabbed by Yi Chen and he chewed it without spitting out the bones. His big mouth was like a black hole. No matter how much things went in, they disappeared without a trace. .

The most outrageous thing is that although Yi Chen eats quickly, his appearance is not ugly and he has a heroic aura.

Shuiyue Master Taitan opened his mouth slightly and looked at Yi Chen in shock, as if he had discovered something interesting.

Noticing the look in Master Shuiyue's eyes, Yi Chen couldn't help but blush slightly despite his thick skin. He put down the chopsticks holding the braised chicken legs, touched the back of his head, and smiled at everyone:

"I made everyone laugh."

Looking at Yi Chen, who had violently beat Taohua Taoist after a disagreement, and who later started to talk cruelly and acted like a lunatic, and the young Taoist in front of him who rubbed the back of his head and smiled shyly because he had eaten a few more bites of food.

This strange contrast made Master Shuiyue very interesting.

As soon as her thoughts changed, she seemed to have thought of some possibility. Master Shuiyue's expression softened even more, and she pushed the plate of chicken drumsticks in front of her to Yi Chen's side.

"No need to be polite, Taoist priest, just eat. If you don't have enough, we'll serve another round of dishes."

The sound is like the tinkling of spring water, and like pearls and jade falling on a silver plate, which is particularly pleasant to hear.

Yi Chen glanced at Master Shuiyue sheepishly.

This chicken leg is really big and full of curves.

He quickly lowered his eyes, said thank you, and then began to show off the chicken legs.The food at Shilixiang Restaurant was really good, much better than eating fish, so he couldn't help but eat a few more bites.

Now everyone in Yinlong Temple becomes pale after hearing this...
After a while, the table was already littered with cups and plates, and everyone was full of wine and food. The waiter left the box after serving several cups of tea and plates of fruits.

Several people began to share their findings.

Taoist Qingxu spoke first: "I carefully checked the situation in the front yard. The death conditions of those maids, mothers-in-law, and domestic slaves were basically the same as those of the three people outside the gate. They all looked frightened before they died, and their livers were missing. .”

"It seems that this evil spirit is indeed what Master Lianhua said. This evil spirit may have the ability to mentally shock or control other people's bodies. We have to guard against this."

Everyone nodded, and Master Lianhua continued: "I checked the death status of the guards patrolling at night, and found that their footsteps were scattered where they died, and they seemed to have been circling in circles before they died. I suspect that this evil spirit not only has the ability to intimidate people, but also I’m afraid I still have the ability to confuse the gods.”

"This can also explain why this evil spirit was able to kill more than [-] members of the Wang family overnight without being discovered."

"It must be to confuse everyone's minds first, and then kill them one by one."

"Among the many corpses, I even found the corpse of a Taoist priest whom the Wang family paid heavily for. He also died silently and his liver was taken away."

"This evil spirit is very fierce."

Master Shuiyue took out a piece of white silk and wiped her mouth before saying, "The body of the female family member in the backyard was torn into pieces, and the liver was also missing."

"It is suspected that he was tortured before his death."

When Master Shuiyue said this, a hint of anger appeared on his oval face, and his face turned slightly red, as if he thought of the death of those beautiful family members.

Everyone understood instantly, but they didn't expect that this evil demon was still an old pervert.

The three of them collectively turned their attention to Yi Chen.

"I can't compare to the seniors in the investigation and autopsy, but I did find something new here."

"Even if the evil spirit has the ability to confuse gods, there are many masters raised in the king's palace. How can it control so many people at the same time?"

"When there are too many people under control, the evil spirit's ability to confuse gods will definitely be greatly reduced. There must be some strong-willed warriors with strong blood or lucky ones with foreign objects who will break out of the blockade. I found more than ten corpses beside the wall. This proves my idea.”

"But those who escaped the disaster of confusing the gods all died with the expression of surviving the disaster."

"I never climbed over the two-meter-high wall until I died."

"In other words, they thought they had climbed over the wall and escaped, but in fact they were still at the edge of the wall."

The three people couldn't help but frown when they heard this. Taoist Qingxu said, "Taoist Master Yi, do you mean that there may be more than one evil spirit?"

"This evil spirit is like the wolf and the beast, with a companion or parasitic partner? Is this what caused the warriors who fled to the wall to be troubled again?"

"Of course it's possible." Yi Chen looked at everyone with a deep look.

"It's even possible that this evil spirit was caused by someone using evil magic to break the Bagua Soul-Captivating Mirror and let it in."

"If it is an evil spirit that is supported by others, and some evil people block the Wang family's mansion with formation flags or special magic weapons, this effect can also be achieved."

Everyone was horrified when they heard this.

After all, Yi Chen's conjecture was too shocking.

If there are ghosts that are accompanied by evil spirits, then they must be extremely dangerous this time, and it is even possible for them to die here.

This kind of strange ghost can usually fuse with or even devour each other at critical moments, and its strength will skyrocket. Fortunately, this kind of evil spirit is very rare and difficult to encounter.

But once encountered, it is very dangerous.

If it’s the second type, the fun will be even greater.

Who knows what the purpose of the man behind the scenes is and what his strength is?
At this time, the three of them thought of the scene where the livers were missing from the corpses of everyone in the Wang family, and they felt even more worried.

Seeing that everyone's morale was a little low, Master Lianhua laughed dryly and said: "These are just our guesses. Whether the Eight Trigrams Soul-Capturing Mirror was shattered by man-made or evil spirits, unless the masters of the imperial court's Zhen'an Division come here, otherwise it will not happen Our methods are absolutely undetectable."

"Now that the arrow is on the string, we have to shoot it. Let's be careful tonight."

"If there is really someone behind the scenes, we will not be able to intervene in this matter. At that time, we will report the truth to the county magistrate and ask him to seek help from the Zhen'an Department."

"If it's really accompanied by evil spirits, let's do our best and gather the strength of the four of us. It won't be that easy for evil spirits to eat the four of us in one bite."

After Master Lianhua finished speaking, everyone nodded in praise.

The general translation of Master Lianhua’s words is:
It's all just speculation now. There must be a fight, otherwise we won't be able to explain it in face. If this matter is too deep, let the people from the imperial court town Ansi take over.

We only make a little money, so why are we working so hard?

Even risking one's life may not solve the problem. I still believe in the wisdom of the court and it will be able to solve it properly and shock Xiaoxiao.

Brothers, please be careful tonight. Let’s go shoulder to shoulder. Even if evil spirits come with us, we can still run away even if we can’t fight.

"What the Master said makes sense, and it is a word that holds great weight."

These people were all thoughtful people, and they all heard the hidden meaning of Master Lianhua.
