Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 296
Although no obvious traces of the five ghosts have been found so far, it does not prevent Chen Zheng and the others from analyzing several incidents of extermination.

It is very likely that these people from the Five Ghost Sect were seriously injured, so they used some means to bring down this big event of destroying the sect.It looks like this is not for practicing, but for healing.

If it is practice, such a huge amount would probably be too much for people to digest.It is the refined Five Ghosts Buyuan Pill that requires such a large amount of various things from the warrior's body to refine it into a pill to treat injuries on the body.

Even Chen Zheng began to wonder whether this group of people suspected of being from the Five Ghost Sect had been seriously injured, resulting in a great loss of strength. Now they only dare to attack small families. As the frequency becomes more and more frequent, it may be that the condition of those who need treatment is changing. It deteriorated rapidly, so they needed to commit crimes one after another in a short period of time.

This time the idea was very good, and it was recognized by many action team members as soon as it was put forward.No one had thought of this idea before. They were simply speculating on the purpose of this group of people with the greatest malice. But thinking about the problem from another angle, maybe these people from the Five Ghost Sect took such a path because they really had no choice.

It is estimated that years of absconding life also made them realize what would happen if they revealed their identities, so they would not take such a very threatening method unless it was a last resort.

Although many warriors of the Demon Sect have weird temperaments, they are not stupid enough to give their lives to others.

However, Chen Zheng's idea coincided with that of the people in the Intelligence Department. He quickly contacted the City Guards and the City Guards, preparing to focus on those with serious injuries, and even started to Explore the large and small drug stores in the city and start checking recent transaction records to see if a large amount of healing herbs have been purchased. The purchasers are likely to be the remnants of these Five Ghost Sects.

three days later.

It is about [-] miles away from Dingbei City on a dirt road.

This is a street leading to Dingbei City. In the past, many business travelers going to Dingbei City for business transactions can be seen on this road, and there are also some tourists who like the grassland scenery.

But now this road is not as bustling as it used to be. There are only some sparse pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages.And the direction is not to go to Dingbeicheng, but to leave.

The reason for all this is because of the three incidents of extermination in Dingbei City, the government was still unable to catch up, which made the people in the city frightened and wanted to run outside to avoid the limelight.

At this time, in the tea shed on the side of the road, passers-by in twos and threes with their burdens on their backs could be seen stopping to drink tea and chat.

There are many tea sheds and the like on this road, and you will find one at regular intervals.They were opened by some of the surrounding people to give passing businessmen and travelers a short resting place.It's a bit similar to the toll booth on the highway on Blue Star.

They provide tea and some ordinary refreshments to people passing by. Most of the time they are white masks with some frosting on them and then bake them.Anyway, I was just passing through to satisfy my hunger.Of course, some various grasses and other grasses will be prepared to serve as horse grass.Anyway, many of the horses pulling carts are not expensive goods like war horses, and they don't need high-grade fodder and soybeans.

At this time, some guests in the tea shed began to communicate while drinking tea, taking it as their own rest time.

One of them, wearing a short-sleeved martial arts uniform, a pair of coarse trousers and leggings, sighed there while drinking tea, with a sad face, and said: "X, this life of a casual cultivator is enough. It's hard, I go out every day to earn a living, hunt wild animals, gather some herbs to exchange for some money to maintain my life, as a result, the business in Dingbei City is becoming more and more difficult to do, and merchants buy less. The price has also become lower, and I thought I could make a fortune in Dingbei City, but the income is not as good as if I went to Jianzhou City, hey, it’s hard.”

Another person at the same table also spoke up and said: "Who says it's not the case, but it's no wonder that those businessmen in Dingbei City are the murderers who caused three massacres in Dingbei City. He was too ruthless. , which made people panic, but the authorities haven’t traced many clues yet. Those businessmen loved money but also valued their own lives, so they ran away early. This hit Dingbeicheng quite hard. I think If the murderer is not caught for a day, more and more small caravans will run out. Only the big chambers of commerce with many people and deep pockets can thrive there." This man was also a man in Dingbei City before. The escorts in the small escort agency can see things quite clearly.But his face was also a little haggard. It could be said that several changes related to him had happened in less than a month.

Because of Yeluba's appearance, the Rising Sun Escort Bureau was strictly investigated, and all the Escort Bureaus in the entire Dingbei City were implicated and inspected many times.

This little escort was also kicked out because his hands and feet were a little dirty. He originally wanted to work as a casual cultivator, but he ended up having his family wiped out. As a result, as soon as the little businessman ran away, the big businessman soon They began to branch out into the extra markets, and they had a lot of money, so they started to lower the prices directly. The prices of medicinal materials, ores, and some beast furs were all falling. If they didn't sell, there would be nothing except selling to those big chambers of commerce. The place was purchased and sold, and the money I got in exchange was not enough to cover my daily living expenses, including accommodation and meals. If I went hunting, I might get injured, and I would also need healing medicinal soup or elixirs, which was very difficult. It is obviously getting twice the result with half the effort, and the income is obviously disproportionate to the payment. In the end, these casual warriors can only choose to leave Dingbei City to find another way out.

There is no way, they are all people who just want to make a living, and the pressure of life in Dingbei City is increasing. They urgently need a new environment, maybe the situation will improve.

After hearing this man's eloquent analysis, I just gave him a feather fan scarf. Naturally, some people started to make fun of him. We are all low-level people who make a living in the world, and it is very common for them to become familiar with each other.

"You should be careful what you say, this old man. The extermination of the family in Dingbei City is very evil. We'd better drink tea and eat some dry food before going on the road, or we might die unjustly if we run into those people."

The little bodyguard's face twitched and he said: "Hehe, this old man is joking. Didn't the murderer despise bloody storms in Dingbei City? We have already come out. You guys are here to talk nonsense, what's so evil? The people in this government are not good, they don’t even know who the murderer is, they haven’t made any progress after so many days, and they haven’t done anything about the behavior of the merchants in the city, it’s really a bit too much.”

The face of the old man who was teasing before changed his face and said: "This brother is careful, you say that the government is not good in our Beiyan territory? Without the government's policy, you may not be able to become a warrior or a casual cultivator. Compared with you, you must I have also learned the basic internal skills issued by the government. Although it is not very subtle, it can be regarded as giving us the hope of laying the foundation for martial arts, and those businessmen can be controlled by the government. Don’t label others randomly. The culprits are those murderers, if not for them, such an accident would not have happened in Dingbei City."

The one who made complaints before was also scared. If the official people heard this, it would be inevitable to scold him. I keep it a secret."

At this moment, the casual martial artist found that the tea in the bowl was finished, so he raised his head and prepared to ask the boss for another bowl.As a result, as soon as he looked up, he saw not far from the tea shed. At some point, a man covered in black robe suddenly appeared. It looked like a man, but was there anyone there before?
Dingbei City is a place with a lot of people, and there are people from all over the place. Some people from other places wear strange clothes if they are not guaranteed, so many times, everyone is not surprised.

Moreover, the casual cultivator was a little thirsty because of chatting at this time, and wanted to have a bowl of tea to drink. Of course, he turned his eyes away without paying much attention.

But at this moment, the eyes of the two people met each other so strangely.

The casual cultivator could find that the black-robed man's eyes turned out to be blood-red, a kind of red like fresh blood. When the two faced each other, they felt an inexplicable sense of panic.

But this feeling aroused the sensitive nerves of the man in black robe, thinking that he had been discovered, his eyes glowed red, releasing a very strong killing intent.

Everyone in the tea shed noticed it now.

The casual cultivator who was the first to bear the brunt even screamed, turned around, dropped his tea bowl, and started running away, even using the energy to feed himself.

He didn't know why this person burst out with such a strong killing intent just because he glanced at him, but saving his life is the first important thing, there is no need to think about these reasons, anyway, it is right to run away to save his life.

Before the other people in the tea shed could react, they saw that the man in the black robe had already left.

I saw a puff of black smoke suddenly emanating from the man in black robe, he had already reached the level of exhaling his true energy, and he could use it so freely, at least he had to be a warrior of Zhoutian Realm.

The moment the black air covered the black-robed man, the black-pao man teleported out like a sharp sword, and it looked like a very high-end movement technique.

The black air also formed a big black hand, and it slapped the back of the warrior.

At this time, the casual martial artist heard the strong wind blowing from the back of his head, and a bone-chilling feeling surged up from behind him. He only felt that his limbs began to become stiff, not as flexible and powerful as usual, and the true energy in his body unexpectedly Slowly reduce the speed of operation, as if the speed is limited.

He hasn't felt it yet, but other people in the tea shed can clearly see a layer of faint frost covering the body of the casual warrior, and slowly the whole body is developing towards the direction of the weapon, so he feels it. My limbs became more and more stiff.

The palm formed by the black air gently stroked the back of the man's heart.The ice cubes slowly shattered.The casual warrior directly landed on the ground.No wounds can be seen on the whole person, and there are no traces of frostbite on the body, but the person disappeared so unknowingly.

"Kill... Killed, run away." Some people are just ordinary people passing by, who have never seen such a weird killing scene before, and immediately started running.

The people in the tea shed woke up suddenly and began to flee in all directions.However, the man in black robe waved his hand, and a large cloud of black gas quickly enveloped the entire tea shed, and the daylight in front of everyone immediately became invisible.

All that could be heard were exclamations and curses from inside.

The man in black made a complex handprint, and then the black air began to boil, like boiling water.

You can hear cries coming from the black air, as well as screams, gasps, and crazy gibbering from people in extreme panic.It has always looked very weird from the outside.

It wasn't until the sound disappeared that the black air began to dissipate slowly.The tea shed and the people inside were exposed, but these people fell to the ground at this time, but their facial expressions were very peaceful, as if the screams before were not made by them.

Then suddenly several figures in black robes appeared around the tea shed.One by one, they came to the people who fell on the ground and began to use the bright daggers in their hands to start another operation.

The smell of blood began to permeate the tea shed.

An hour later.

The man in black had already left, but another group of people had discovered this place.Looking around, there are many familiar figures, most of them are from the City Guard and the Military Intelligence Department, and there are also a few people from the City Guard's Mansion.They all had stern faces and were dealing with the scene, but their faces were not as confused as before, but they found something that could be used.

Tan Daoji and Sun Qiang were among the team of the Military Intelligence Department.

The dead on the ground were still the same as in the previous murder case, and the scene was still as tragic, but the eyes of Tan Daoji and Sun Qiang were also slightly bright. The identity of the murderer could be roughly determined, but they did not have a detailed understanding of their strength. , but now some clues have been found. There is a piece of black cloth left on the corner of the table in the tea shed. Another place is a slight palm print on the back of a corpse. Although it is not How obvious it is, but it also left traces. Perhaps the person was negligent and forgot to deal with it. The context of this song palm technique can be clearly detected above, which is more beneficial for tracing the identities of these murderers.

Of course, the most important point is that there is a small picture stone in the corner of the tea shed. Because of the tricky angle of hiding, the man in black never thought that there would be such a thing in the corner of the tea shed.
