I played the world alone

Chapter 38 The Sword Saved Someone

Looking at the strangely corroded plants, experts couldn't understand: "Is there an acid rain here? Why did this happen?"

"And why only this small area?"

"No..." He suddenly noticed something, touched the marks on the bark excitedly, and exclaimed, "If you look carefully, this area of ​​the tree is also burned, but it's not obvious."

"It seems that there is some unknown force protecting this tree, so that the thousand-year historical witness will not disappear here!"

"Unbelievable..."

The rest of the people also expressed similar emotions, and they all applied to collect some of the plants here for testing, to test the properties of those highly corrosive liquids and those unknown ingredients.

"Wait, aren't you scientists?" Xu Xun asked suspiciously, "Why are you still talking about these mysteries?"

"When science develops to a certain height, it is already close to theology for human beings." The expert explained solemnly, "It's as if our current technology was transferred to ancient times. To the ancients, we are as powerful as gods and omnipotent."

"As long as we remain in awe of these mysticisms, maybe we can study some useful scientific laws from them?"

"Okay, anyway, you are professionals." Xu Xun didn't understand these twists and turns, but cautiously told these experts who had wrong eyes.

"Remember this is the scene of the first crime, try to keep all the traces as they are, and don't collect materials randomly..."

He was afraid that these people would secretly dig up all the soil here while he was not paying attention.

Xu Xun ordered them, and then left a team member to take care of it, while he took the rest of the people to the top of the mountain and arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple.

No matter how you look at it, this incident is inseparable from this seemingly ordinary Taoist temple.

It was late at night, but the Taoist temple was still awake. A bright yellow light was on, and some dim light leaked from the windows and under the eaves, adding to the tranquility of the night.

But if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of dogs barking and a few old Taoist priests talking inside.

Knocked on the door.

The dogs barked louder.

It seems to be one big and one small, screaming through the door.

Then there was the familiar scolding sound of Wen Daochang, who locked them with iron chains, and then walked slowly to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Taoist Wen couldn't help being taken aback when he saw the crowd outside.

"You are not the ones who came yesterday..."

"Yes, in fact, we have made new discoveries about the case, so we want to come to you to find out more about the situation."

Xu Xun glanced at the two dogs that were tied up in the corner and were still barking. They were both dirt dogs. They looked like they were only one or two years old, and their voices stopped.

"Do you have a dog in your Taoist temple? There didn't seem to be any when I came here yesterday."

"right."

Daoist Wen nodded honestly: "Actually, our Taoist temple was attacked by thieves some time ago, so the senior brother suggested that we raise a dog to guard against thieves. Today, we begged two dogs from the villagers at the foot of the mountain to keep them here."

Xu Xun seemed to have thought of something, and immediately asked, "A thief? What was stolen?"

"Oh, when senior brother was cleaning some time ago, he discovered that our ancestor's sword had been stolen at some point!" Daoist Wen immediately scolded angrily, "I don't know where the thief even stole this kind of thing!"

Xu Xun secretly thought that it was true, and explained: "Maybe... it wasn't stolen."

"What do you mean?"

Xu Xun signaled to the people behind him to bring the things over.

Then Taoist Wen slowly opened his mouth wide, and was astonished to see that the ancestor's sword that he thought was stolen appeared in the other party's hand.

"Why is this sword here with you?"

He subconsciously thought that the other party had stolen it, but after thinking about it, it was unlikely.

"It's a long story. We'd better go in and talk about it."

Daoist Wen hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly, but he still took the sword and held it carefully in his hand, and then hurriedly led them into the Taoist temple.

"It's back! It's back!"

Hearing the sound, everyone, whether asleep or not, hurried over to check.

When they saw the sword of the patriarch, they were overjoyed, and some wept with joy.

However, some sharp-eyed people noticed the blood stains on the sword.

"What's the matter with the blood? How can this sword see blood?"

"Could it be that the thief hurt someone after stealing it? It's a crime!"

Here, Xu Xun also saw the old temple master, who was even older than the one in the photo, with gray hair and wrinkles on his face like tree bark, but his eyes were still clear, and he looked sober, and he didn't seem to be close to a hundred years old at all.

The old temple master was wearing a thick Taoist uniform, holding the sword with tears in his eyes.

"If it is really lost, I will have no face to see the Patriarch after death..."

"But there is still blood on this sword, and it has fallen into the hands of the police. It can't be a murder weapon, right?"

"No, no, that's not true." Xu Xun waved his hand, "It's better to say that this sword has saved countless people."

"Saved someone?" The old temple master was taken aback.

"Yes," Xu Xun nodded, and said with a serious face, "This sword killed a monster that was suspected to be a snake demon, and saved many people."

In an instant, the entire Taoist temple quieted down.

Several old Taoist priests looked at each other in blank dismay.

The old Guanzhu was even more confused, holding the sword and not knowing what to say.

After a long while, Daoist Wen coughed lightly: "My leader, this joke is not very funny. There are no monsters in the world. If you want to talk about science..."

Xu Xun shook his head.

"This is not a joke. We are here this time to investigate this matter and understand the situation of your ancestors."

"If you don't believe me, we still have video photos and other materials."

Lao Guanzhu and others are still skeptical.

If they didn't know the identities of these people, they would almost think that there was something wrong with their heads.

"Will that let us see?"

Xu Xun asked people to bring the phone over, and the photos were displayed in front of their eyes.

But the viewer and the others couldn't move their eyes away once they saw the photo. They stared at the photo in a daze, their eyes opened slowly, showing an expression of disbelief.

"what is this?"

"How could there be such a thing?"

"Is this photo fake?"

That amazing big snake in this picture...

And that fairy flying sword flying in the sky and stabbing at the big snake, why does it look so much like his ancestor's sword?
but……

The old temple master looked down at the rusty sword in his hand, then at the astonishingly powerful flying sword in the photo, rubbed his eyes, and confirmed again and again.

"Is this really the same one?"
