Chapter 186 Goat Eye Worm

As Li Jianxin said, he left Fu Shiren's study room and was running around in the backyard, but he found that the direction of the inn was already full of flames, so he quickly jumped up, took two steps in three steps, directly climbed over the courtyard wall, and came to the side of the inn In front of the door, many people had already stopped in the inn at this time, Li Jianxin looked around and found no suspicious people, and ignored the raging fire, he used the protective method and rushed into the sea of ​​flames.

The fire at this time was already very strong. The inn was originally made of wooden structure, and now there was a risk of collapse over time.

As soon as Li Jianxin entered the inn in the sea of ​​fire, there was a tongue of fire burning towards him, and thick black smoke rolled towards him with the surge of firelight.Li Jianxin quickly covered his mouth and nose, using all his power to protect himself. The sun-sun sword in his hand slashed and flew away the flaming wood, and then he broke into the backyard.

By the light of the fire, Li Jianxin discovered that someone was looking at him on the opposite side of the flame, with a piercing smile on his face.

"Who are you? You set this fire?" Li Jianxin said and rushed towards this person, but this person's lightness kung fu is not bad, and he disappeared as soon as he turned around.Li Jianxin was about to go after her, but was blocked by flames gushing out of the kitchen.Li Jianxin was a little impatient for a moment, and chased after the mysterious man at a high speed. The air was moved by his body, but the flames were engulfing him. The tongue of fire kissed Li Jianxin's face several times, and the thick black smoke continued to flow towards his face. Drilled into nostrils and eyes.

Li Jianxin has not cultivated his physical body to the point where water and fire are invulnerable. Although these flames can't help him for a while, if he stays in the fire for a long time, he will inevitably suffocate due to inhaling too much black smoke.He already had the intention of retreating, and was about to turn back and exit the same way, but he didn't know when the way behind him was blocked by flames and fallen trees.

The flames were chopping and burning, and soon some wooden structures fell down and surrounded Li Jianxin.Li Jianxin had no choice but to use the Sunshine Sword to sweep away a clean place.

The fire was so intense that Li Jianxin's face was covered with dried sweat stains and his lips were chapped. He was already a little dehydrated.After waiting for a while, while the fire gradually became smaller, Li Jianxin saw a way out. He sent out a strong wind from his palm to disperse the flames in front of him, and swept out a way out. When Li Jianxin was about to get out, there was a blast. There was a sound in the air, and a wine jar opened and flew towards Li Jianxin.

The white wine was swaying in the air, and the alcohol was evaporated in an instant, and the fire became more intense, but Li Jianxin couldn't care less, and just kept his head protected and rushed forward, completely ignoring the surrounding flames on his clothes. burning.A few more jars were thrown out, but this time it was not wine jars, but oil. The original rapeseed oil was not easy to burn, and some combustion aids needed to be added. It was just the oil that this person poured out. But it's like a foolish man resenting a woman, and it's caught at one point.

The moment the oil curtain was splashed, it turned into a sea of ​​flames and fell towards Li Jianxin.

The more critical the situation was, the more calm and calm Li Jianxin became. [Heart Demon Record] operated spontaneously, and the three conjoined magic skills produced a half-inch thin film of Gang Qi to protect Li Jianxin's whole body. "Hey!" Li Jianxin didn't care about his mouth and nose anymore, put his hands on his waist, and swung out with a "Don't Use Qianlong". The fire field directly in front was suddenly emptied, and a hole was blasted out in the courtyard wall in the distance. Li Jianxin didn't care about the person hiding in the dark, but just got out of the hole in the broken wall first.

Finally escaped from the sea of ​​flames, Li Jianxin couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then looked at the sea of ​​flames inside the courtyard wall, and still felt the heat wave was threatening, if the guys inside didn't come out in time, they would probably be because of the poisonous gas generated in the sea of ​​flames And died of suffocation.Just as Li Jianxin was thinking this way, a thin monkey-like figure jumped out from the top of the wall, riding on the wall and looking at Li Jianxin with a piercing smile.

"Who are you?" Li Jianxin clenched the Sunshine Sword in his hand as he spoke, and looked at this person vigilantly. He already faintly felt that he was weaker than this person, and felt that this person looked at him with a A feeling of looking at food.

"You are Li Jianxin?" The man opened his mouth as he spoke, revealing his jagged teeth, stretched out his long tongue and scratched the teeth, then shook his head and said, "Now is not the time. "As he spoke, he jumped into the darkness, and could no longer see his figure clearly.

Li Jianxin was about to chase after him, but he thought of Wang Jin's side, fearing that there would be another accident, so he turned his head and headed towards Fu Shiren's house.

When Li Jianxin arrived at the back door of Fu Shiren's house, he saw Lao Cao and his party escorting the three of Fu Shiren out, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is there any accident?"

"It's nothing unexpected, but why are you in such a mess?" Lao Cao said while pointing to Li Jianxin's clothes that had been burned to tatters.

"It's nothing. I went to this inn to look for clues, but I was ambushed by a master. That's why I was in such a mess." Li Jianxin waved his hand as he spoke, and then he noticed that he There were already several soybean-sized blisters on his arm.

"Where is that person?" Lao Cao asked again.

"I was no match for him, so I didn't chase him. I was worried that something might happen to you, so I came here." Li Jianxin said and looked at Fu Shiren, who was like a dead dog.

"You mean, the person who set the fire was a master in the realm of metamorphosis?" Lao Cao asked.

"Well, it should be. This person seems to give me a stronger feeling than the Lin Luoya I met before. Forget it, let's not talk about this for now, but escort them back to Jinyiwei first. Let's do business." Li Jianxin turned around and walked in front as he said that, he had a faint feeling that the person he just met had something to do with [Seven Sins].

If Fu Shiren has something to do with King Ning, and [Seven Sins] has something to do with Fu Shiren, then does King Ning have something to do with [Seven Sins]?As soon as this idea came to Li Jianxin's mind, Li Jianxin felt a chill.

If King Ning was originally a member of the [Seven Sins], then he should have raised troops this time with the idea of ​​"clearly repairing the plank road and secretly hiding Chen Cang", and let him come out alone to attract the attention of the world, and then [Seven Sins] 】The rest of the people continued to hibernate in the dark, waiting for their strength to come out and stir up the situation. What kind of terrifying scene would the Central Plains be at that time?Thinking of this, Li Jianxin shook his head again to get rid of the terrifying thoughts in his mind.

"What's the matter? Brother Li." It was Wang Jin who looked at Li Jianxin and shook his head and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, I just stayed in the fire for a long time, and now I'm a little confused." Li Jianxin waved his hands and said as if it was nothing. He didn't want Wang Jin to be anxious because of the [Seven Sins Sect].

Li Jianxin and his group returned to the Jinyiwei. At this time, there were only people on the night shift left in the Jinyiwei. Li Jianxin called a small hundred households to let him put the three of them in prison, and then wrote a report. , ready to hand over to Zhang Qianhu tomorrow.

On the second day, Li Jianxin came to Jinyiwei early, and handed the report he had written last night to Zhang Qianhu, saying: "Master Qianhu, this is the detailed record yesterday. I was ordered to investigate Fu Shiren yesterday. The correspondence between him and King Ning was found from his home. In addition, Fu Shiren also had the habit of eating human flesh. The human flesh he ate was provided by an inn behind his house. I wanted to go to the shopkeeper of the inn. And took it down, but the inn was set on fire by a mysterious person. I am not the opponent of that person, so I let him escape."

Zhang Qianhu took Li Jianxin's report, opened it and read it, but the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, and it took almost a long time to finish reading the report. "You mean that mysterious person is a master in the realm of metamorphosis?" Zhang Qianhu put down Li Jianxin's report and said worriedly.

"Yes. Lord Qianhu, please report this matter to Commander." Li Jianxin said solemnly.

Zhang Qianhu reminded: "Well, I will report it later. You completed the task yesterday very well, but today you should go to the fire scene and take a look to see if there are any clues."

"I'll go now, my subordinate." Li Jianxin said, then folded his hands and retreated, leading Wang Jin and his party out of Jinyiwei, to the inn behind Fu Shiren's house.

The inn had almost been burned to ashes, with only a few carbonized pillars left standing there. "You were really lucky yesterday. You were able to escape after being burned like this." But it was Lao Wang who said, and he learned what happened last night from Lao Cao this morning.

"Old Wang, what do you say?" Li Jianxin asked curiously.

"We are in the north, and it is dry. Generally, the wood used to build houses does not use coniferous and cypress wood full of grease, so it is not easy to burn like this when a fire breaks out. Look at this inn, but only this is left. There are a few pillars. Someone must have added some material to the fire, which caused the flames to burn so fiercely."

Li Jianxin said with a little bit of fear: "I did see someone spill a piece of vegetable oil-like thing last night, it caught fire at one point, and I was almost stuck there."

"Oh, that's vegetable oil with added ingredients. This vegetable oil is not easy to ignite. It must be that a little sugar and charcoal powder have been added to the vegetable oil, so that it can be ignited when it is waved out. This way The fire is not only powerful, but also easy to produce poisonous smoke, but after burning, it is easy to leave black bumps, we can look for it in the corner of the wall." Lao Wang can vaguely see Walking in the direction of the corner of the trace, everyone quickly split up and took action.

"Brother Jianxin, I found something here." It was Xiao Liuzi who shouted from behind the counter.

Everyone rushed over, but they saw three carbonized corpses sticking together, which was horrifying. After one glance, they stopped looking again, especially Wang Jin, whose stomach was churning for a while, was squatting in the corner Spit it.Lao Wang patted Wang Jin on the back and said, "Boy, I'll get used to it if I vomit a little more. I'll see more scenes in the future." Then he squatted down and looked around the corpses .

"Jianxin, there is something wrong with this corpse." Lao Wang called Li Jianxin after speaking.

"What's wrong?" Li Jianxin also squatted down and suppressed the discomfort to look at these hideous corpses.

"Look here." As Lao Wang said, he fiddled with the corpse above and lifted him off, revealing the bloody corpse below, pointing to the corpse and saying, "Did you notice that this corpse is missing a little bit?" what the hell?"

Li Jianxin covered her mouth and nose, frowned and asked, "What's missing?"

"Look if there is something missing from the thigh of this man, and see if there is a hole in his abdomen?" Lao Wang opened the hole in the abdomen of the corpse as he said, and then there was A stench came out, and there were strange insect eggs inside, like eyeballs.The unhatched worms are wriggling in the eyeball-like eggs. "Interesting, really interesting." Lao Wang smacked his lips as he said.

"Hmm!" Li Jianxin swallowed the bitterness in his throat, and said to Old Wang, "What kind of bug is this?"

Lao Wang took out a long needle from his sleeve, reached into the belly of the corpse, picked out an insect egg, placed it on the broken rubble of a wine jar, handed it to Li Jianxin and said: " This is called 'Sheep Eyeworm', which is a kind of poisonous insect. Its specific function cannot be verified, but this insect is now spread as a delicacy among some extreme eaters."

"Is this thing still edible?" Li Jianxin said in surprise, looking at the eyeball-like insect eggs.

"No, I don't know which guy discovered that this thing is edible, but this 'sheep eye worm' is indeed edible. It is said that when the worm breaks out of its eggs, it will emit a light This strange fragrance can arouse other people's appetite." Lao Wang waved his palm and used his inner strength to kill all the "sheep eye worms" in the corpse. "However, if there is nothing to eat around, the aroma of this insect will make the same kind eat each other." Old Wang said, looking at Li Jianxin gloomyly.

"Old Wang, why are you looking at me like this? It scares me." Li Jianxin looked at Lao Wang and said.

"It's nothing, just to scare you. It can be concluded that these three corpses were all poisoned by the 'sheep-eyed worm', but as for whether they died in the fire or died a long time ago, we need to wait." It’s done.” Lao Wang stood up after speaking.

Li Jianxin looked at these corpses, gritted his teeth, took a sword to cut open their stomachs and opened them, and found that there were more or less insect eggs, and then swung his sword to destroy all these eggs.
