Alienated Martial Arts.

Chapter 175 Human Skin
The sun rises in the east, reflecting the earth.

The Mingshui Luoshui shimmers like two golden dragons intertwined with each other.

Wei Tao stood on the shore, followed by several warriors in different costumes.

Several people quietly watched the slowly flowing water ahead.

There are also large and small cargo ships sailing on the river.

"Master Deacon, it is the wind season, and it is also one of the busiest times for the entire waterway."

Ou Yinglian watched Wei Tao's expression carefully, looking for something to say.

She looks charming and slim, like a young girl in her prime.

But his real age is more than 30 years old.

It is only because she has practiced martial arts since childhood and paid attention to maintenance that her skin is delicate and tight, unlike a middle-aged woman.

Wei Tao pointed to the largest sailboat on the river, "The pattern painted on that boat is the logo of Mingshui Gang?"

"My lord's eyes are like torches."

Ou Yinglian flattered her a little, "This ship should be the sailboat at the helm of the Mingshui Gang. In addition to transporting goods, it also has the duty of patrolling waterways."

"Speaking of the Mingshui Gang, there is one thing that needs to be reported to the deacon."

Her tone became a little serious, "White Water Gang's Protector Bai sent you a letter of challenge half a month ago. At that time, his subordinates told you about it once, but there was no reply from the deacon."

The wind howled and the water vapor filled the air.

Wei Tao glanced back, "What is Ming Shui to help protect Bai, I don't know him."

"He came all the way here to compete in the afternoon. Is there something wrong with his head, or is he too full to do anything?"

"Uh……"

After being stared at by Wei Tao, Ou Yinglian shuddered suddenly, "That Protector Bai said that you bullied his younger brother, so..."

"It's simply a crime of wanting to add, there is no reason to worry about it.

Apart from attending a banquet with Li Guanzhu not long after I arrived, I have been busy practicing these days, and I have never even been out of the gate of the Green Bamboo Garden. Where did I find the time to bully his brother? "

Wei Tao waved his hand and ended the conversation directly, "I think this person either has a mental problem, or he wants to be famous and crazy, so don't talk to this idiot."

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

Ou Yinglian continued, "There is one more thing that needs to be reported to the adults."

After careful observation of Wei Tao's expression, she continued, "The Lord of Luoshui City is going to organize a spring party, all of which are young and handsome from the major families in the city. The Lord asked me to ask the deacon to see if you have participated interest of."

"Not participating, not interested."

After a period of contact, Ou Yinglian was not surprised by such a reply.

Just nodded, and started talking about the third thing.

"The last thing, fifty miles south of Luoshui, there is a town called Sunjinchang, which can be regarded as the sphere of influence of this temple.

Since ten days ago, someone suddenly disappeared in the gold drying field for no reason, and even our warriors stationed there disappeared. "

Wei Tao's expression became a little more serious, and motioned for her to continue talking.

Ou Yinglian organized her words and continued slowly.

"After receiving the news, the temple master sent the newly recruited brothers from the Ke Qing family to investigate.

As a result, there was no news after the two left, and they will send someone to look at it later..."

Ou Yinglian swallowed subconsciously when she said this, "They discovered in a dense forest on a river beach that the Men brothers had been stripped of human skin and stuffed with straw, with their internal organs lying aside, dying beyond death."

"Peeling real grass?"

"Does Li Guanzhu mean to let me take a look?"

Wei Tao withdrew his gaze from looking at the river, and turned his head to look at Ou Yinglian.

"Yes, what the temple master said is, please ask the deacon to deal with the matter of the golden sun farm as appropriate.

You can make a decision on resource preparation and manpower deployment involved in the process. "

"As the guardian deacon, it's my duty to deal with this situation. You go back and tell Guanzhu Li, and let him prepare the equipment and materials according to my needs."

Wei Tao took one last look at the ship that was gradually going away, and turned to the direction where the Taoist temple was.

"Let Zuo Shi come to me in a while. I have recently used a lot of medicinal materials in my practice, so I need to plan ahead."

"Hurry up and get ready, you guys. When the supplies are ready, we will go to the gold sunning field."

"Understood, this subordinate will go back and prepare."

Ou Yinglian wiped off the cold sweat unconsciously oozing from her forehead, and quickly followed behind.

For more than half a month, the several contacts with Wei Tao made her almost have a stress reaction.

Although Deacon Wei is gentle and calm in most cases, don't think that you can be unscrupulous.

If he violated his old man's taboo, he might be slapped on the ground, and he had to use a shovel to pick him up bit by bit.

........................

It was overcast.

The spring rain is like silk, blowing with the wind.

A carriage slowly drove out of Qingfengguan.

Led by two fully armed warriors, they soon came to the main road and headed south.

There are many farmers working in the fields by the roadside, taking advantage of the spring rain to cultivate the precious green seedlings.

From time to time, the smell of manure came, filling the entire carriage with a stinky smell.

Gan Liang, wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, followed the carriage.

From time to time, he carefully glanced at the carriage, for fear that the person inside would be angry because of it.

Wei Tao didn't care about it, and even opened the window to let the fine rain drift in a little, soaking his clothes.

"How far is it?"

After walking for a while, he asked.

"Return to the deacon, we have just passed the Xiangshui Canal, a tributary of the Luoshui River. According to the current speed, it will take about half an hour."

"I'll rest for a while, nothing special, don't disturb me."

Wei Tao closed the car window, his eyes half-opened and half-closed.

Quietly, the status bar appeared.

He looked at each exercise interface, and finally set his sights on the newly-appeared Shouxu spirit seal.

Name: Shouxu Lingyin.

Progress: Introduction to exercises.

Status: Beginner and practicer.

Wei Tao silently circulated blood according to the key points of the exercises.

The skin between the eyebrows gradually turned red.

There is also some faint swelling and itching.

But other than that, there is no other feeling.

Last night, another month passed.

The number of coins in the status bar goes from zero to one again.

But he hasn't figured out which practice method to upgrade next.

The five-square pagoda of the first pagoda realm.

The magic elephant mysterious art of the double blood image realm.

Breaking the limit of the seventh stage, the Blood Moon Shuangsha Art of Blood Moon Vigorously.

It's still just getting started and hasn't made much progress in the Shouxu Lingyin.

He thought about it, but couldn't make a decision.

According to Wei Tao's thinking at this time, since his physical strength has increased, the one he most hopes to improve is actually the Wufang Buddha.

After all, the temptation to double the real strength is too great, and the improvement of combat power is definitely a qualitative leap.

However, for the Wufang Pagoda, either it does not improve, or it has to accumulate two gold coins at once to truly show the effect.

In addition, the importance of the magic elephant profound art and the blood moon double evil art is equally important.

Upgrading one layer of Golem Mysterious Art can greatly increase the total amount of qi and blood.

And if the blood moon double evil skill is improved, although the increase in qi and blood is much smaller than that of the magic elephant profound art, it can generate more blood moon true energy.

If he really wanted to say which one would improve his strength more, he couldn't be sure right now.

"Forget it, if you can't, just wait a little longer."

"One month at most, after accumulating two gold coins, then consider which skill to upgrade."

"What's more, there are Master Shang and Zhang Zhiqing, both of whom haven't done anything else recently, and have been secretly looking for the objects corresponding to the patterns on the scroll of ancient books around the Fucheng.

Maybe in less than a month, there will be new status column gold coins in the account. "

Thinking of this, Wei Tao finally settled down, closed his eyes and meditated again, meditating on keeping the spirit seal.

The rain is getting heavier.

Connect the sky and the earth into a fine water color.

Wu Yin, who was driving the carriage, shook the raindrops on his coir raincoat, and suddenly sat up straight.

Almost at the same time, Gan Liang also discovered something was wrong.

Immediately, he held the crossbow on the saddle with his backhand.

"what happened?"

Wei Tao's voice sounded from inside the carriage.

It also quickly calmed the two of them down.

"Master Deacon, there is a dead man in the field ahead."

Wei Tao lifted the curtain of the car and took a look outside.

With his eyesight, he could clearly see, deep in the fine rain curtain, stood a cross wooden stake as thick as a cup.

Another body was impaled by a stake.

Like a scarecrow driving away birds, it sways slightly from side to side with the wind direction.

From time to time, crows with black feathers and blood pupils landed and stopped to peck at the surface of the corpse.

Soon the skin was pierced, revealing the straw stuffed underneath, which were scattered all over the ground.

"We don't need to look at the corpses of the Men brothers, we just saw the skinned grass."

With a deep sigh, Wei Tao came out of the carriage and walked to the cross post to observe carefully.

The crow was frightened and kept circling in the low altitude, not daring to come down, but also reluctant to leave.

Gan Liang walked around a few times, even put on a pair of silver gloves, and reached into the dark eye socket to feel.

There was a muffled sound.

He took out a bloody eyeball with a lot of flesh and blood on it.

There is even a little blood-stained bright red hair.

Even under the washing of the rain curtain, the original color could not be restored.

Gan Liang thought for a moment, then whistled inexplicably.

After a while.

A black-feathered crow fluttered its wings and landed on his forearm.

Picking up the bloody eyeball, he raised his head and swallowed it.

After eating, it didn't fly away, so it stopped on Gan Liang's shoulder and began to comb its feathers.

"Master Gan actually has the ability to train birds."

Wei Tao watched with great interest, and suddenly frowned a little.

Click!

He took out the long knife that Ou Yinglian was wearing, and cut the wooden stake into two with one stroke.

The straw wrapped in human skin splashed all over the ground.

Ou Yinglian looked down, and whispered in surprise, "My lord, there are many blood-stained hairs in the straw."

"No, no."

She quickly overturned her statement, "Even if the hair is soaked in blood, it will not be washed continuously by the rain, and even the color will not fade."

"Pick up a few pieces of human skin, cut off some hair, put it in a sealed box and take it with you, and we continue to set off."

Wei Tao turned around and walked towards the carriage.

The people behind quickly followed.

Not long after, a large number of crows with blood pupils descended quickly and began to grab food more cheerfully.
