The hero bends again

During the conversation, another servant came to report that a new corpse had been discovered.

The lord waved his hand to make people retreat, and his face became haggard again: "In just one month, this is already No.20 together. If this continues, everyone in our city will be eaten up by that demon clan."

This is indeed an exaggeration, but if it is not controlled, it is bound to suffer heavy casualties.

The emergence of demons within the jurisdiction of Qianfeng Jianzong is also a great threat to Jianzong. As the head of the twelve peak masters, Su Ziye should not give in and do his best to eliminate demons.

Ever since, Su Ziye proposed to go to the scene for investigation.

The lord is a pampered person, he has only been to the scene twice, and was quite frightened by the bloody scene.The reason why he is so haggard is one aspect of worry, and another aspect of having nightmares.

Su Ziye noticed that the lord showed a look of disgust after he said he was going to the scene, so he guessed what he was thinking, and said, "The lord can just ask his subordinates to take us there."

The lord hurriedly said: "No, no, let me take a few immortal masters."

Su Ziye shrugged his shoulders and did not refuse any more.

The lord asked his servants to lead the way, while he stood side by side with Su Ziye and continued to describe the recent situation in the city.

Xiao Chenxuan had a shadow on the demons, he had fallen under the sneak attack of the demons before, now he was half a step behind Su Ziye, his face was expressionless, he didn't know what was on his mind.

Su Ziye looked at him nonchalantly, planning to hug him to comfort him as soon as Xiao Chenxuan showed a scared expression.

But Xiao Chenxuan failed to let him get what he wished, until he arrived at the place where the corpse was found, Xiao Chenxuan didn't say a word, he looked quite calm, and he didn't even have any emotional fluctuations when he saw the corpse.

The body was found in a field on the outskirts of the city and has been covered with straw mats.

Su Ziye took half a step forward, signaling to untie the straw mat. The lord tightened his face, staring at his shoes, for fear of seeing the horrible scene that would give him nightmares again.Su Ziye walked to the side of the corpse without changing his expression, stretched out his hand, and probed the corpse and the wound with spiritual power.

There is indeed a strong demonic energy, and the murderer can only be a demon, not a demon.

In the context of this world, demons and demons are two completely different concepts.The former are natural monsters, those with high levels have human form, while those with low levels only know how to drink blood, like monsters; the latter are ordinary monks who have become obsessed, or monks who directly cultivate demon energy.

Although demon cultivators can kill people without blinking an eye, they generally don't know how to gouge people's hearts. Demons are completely different.

It's not that the lowly demons don't eat human flesh.

At present, no conclusions can be drawn from the body. The perspective in the original text is also around the heroine. It does not describe how the original body eliminated the demon. It only said that it returned in triumph in the end, leaving a good reputation in the local area— —And after returning, he began to devote himself to abusing the heroine and sleeping with Xiao Chenxuan.

Su Ziye thought, he could walk around the city first.

Most of the lords in this world only manage one city, and it is not uncommon for powerful ones to manage two or three cities. However, the current lord's jurisdiction is only one city. The scope is not small, but it is still within the tolerance range.

Su Ziye has no experience in handling cases, so he can only search the whole city in a stupid way.

Now there are only two pieces of information. One is that all the dead have had their hearts dug out, and the frequency of heart digging is very high. It seems that the murderer has a great demand for hearts, and there may be more than one demon. The second is that the dead are all young and middle-aged. Male, aged between 40 and [-] years old.The place of death is chaotic, a bit like luck, seeing one kill one by one.

It was Si time when they arrived at the place, and now it was time for lunch, but cultivators don't need to eat, only Xiao Chenxuan took a bigu pill.Su Ziye ordered to act in twos, he and Xiao Chenxuan as a team, Zhuang Feng and Qi Yang as a team, first check the place where the body was found to see if there are any missing clues.

"What do you think the demons are eating young men's hearts for?" Su Ziye and Xiao Chenxuan asked as they walked side by side on the road.

Xiao Chenxuan pondered: "The yang energy of young men is relatively strong, maybe it's for nourishment?"

Su Ziye said: "Then there is no need to kill so many people. In a short period of time, they are in the same place again. The target is too conspicuous. Although they are extremely vicious, they will not take the risk of revealing their whereabouts." .”

Xiao Chenxuan said: "That's why they have to eat people's hearts."

Su Ziye searched the original body's memory, but unfortunately found nothing, and the original body didn't know much about the demons.

Before the action, Su Ziye divided the city into the east and the west, and asked the two disciples to go to the west of the city where there were fewer murders, while they went to the east of the city.It has to be said that although the demons who did it were very arrogant, they were not stupid enough. The places where they chose to kill or throw their corpses were very scattered and even.According to Su Ziye's division, there are relatively few cases in the west of the city, with eight cases, and thirteen cases in the east of the city plus today's.

There is no fixed dense place.

Su Ziye thought about using the character halo method to determine the location of the criminal, but this method has a disadvantage, that is, he cannot see the people hiding in the room.If you want to use it, it's best to see it most clearly at night when they are killing people.But you have to try your luck, if Su Ziye wanders around the east of the city, they happen to kill people in the west of the city, and it won't help.

But this is also a way, it's better than being like a headless chicken.

Su Ziye decided to come out tonight to have a look.

Halfway there, suddenly a group of people who looked like monks came towards them, with obsequious smiles on their faces.

The leading middle-aged monk saluted Su Ziye directly, and said respectfully: "Tu Xinghua, the head of Feiyun School, has seen Master Fengxian."

Su Ziye frowned slightly.

This person should be the head of the sect that the lord asked for help before looking for Shang Qianfeng Sword Sect, and he only had the cultivation base of the late Jindan stage.

But it's no wonder that besides the five great immortal sects, there are so many small sects and sects in this world, and the Feiyun sect is the most inconspicuous among them. It is not normal to recruit good seedlings. But that's all.

Tu Xinghua rubbed his hands, his face excited: "Master Fengxian, I have admired your name for a long time, and this time I meet you, you really deserve your reputation." It was as if he had seen his lifelong idol.

Su Ziye took half a step back indiscriminately, a little disgusted.

Tu Xinghua didn't notice anything, and continued to chatter.He knew that with his status and status, if it wasn't for this incident, he might not be able to see people like Qianfeng Jianzong in his entire life, so he had to seize the opportunity to get close, and it could become a bragging point after returning home.

Su Ziye silently listened to his nonsense for a long time, but in the end a certain monk behind Tu Xinghua couldn't see him, so he tugged him, and Tu Xinghua stopped talking in a still unsatisfied way.

"We are here to investigate the heart-poaching of the demons this time." Xiao Chenxuan smoothed things over.

Tu Xinghua was able to recognize Su Ziye because he knew from the lord the candidate sent by the Sword Sect this time, and Su Ziye is the most unpredictable of the two, his identity is beyond doubt.Xiao Chenxuan's cultivation base is also unattainable for Feiyun sect, but Tu Xinghua has no ability to know the appearance of other people in Jianzong, so he doesn't know who he is.

At the moment Xiao Chenxuan opened his mouth, he immediately greeted him and said, "Who is this immortal master?"

Xiao Chenxuan said: "I'm Xiao Chenxuan."

Tu Xinghua opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Although he didn't recognize Xiao Chenxuan, and he didn't know much about what happened more than 20 years ago, he still heard about the world-famous marriage ceremony in Qianfeng Sword Sect last month.One of the parties involved is Su Ziye, and the other person's name seems to be Xiao Chenxuan?

It is not unheard of for two men to become Taoist couples, but it is the first time that it has been done so grandly.

Tu Xinghua didn't quite understand how to form a couple and double cultivation between a man and a man, but Xiao Chenxuan's status in his eyes suddenly rose to a certain unattainable height.

For a man to be able to coax the dignified Peak Master to marry him, his skills are simply better than most women.

Xiao Chenxuan didn't know that his image in Tu Xinghua's mind was no doubt that of a vixen, but he felt uncomfortable with the other party's undisguised gaze, so he couldn't help turning his eyes away.

Su Ziye coughed unhappily.

Tu Xinghua quickly retracted his gaze, and talked with Su Ziye about the heart-gouging of the demons.

But Feiyun faction is not an expert in handling cases, and the information they have obtained in the past month is no more than what Su Ziye obtained in the past two hours.After listening to him for a long time, Su Ziye didn't get any useful information, so she pushed him away impatiently, and walked away under Tu Xinghua's reluctant eyes.

Xiao Chenxuan couldn't help but said: "Are all the monks at the bottom of the mountain like this now?"

Su Ziye shrugged and said: "It seems that the monks with him are quite normal, he should be an exception."

After that, they continued to walk in the east of the city, and they returned to the lord's mansion without finding anything until evening, ready to rest.Su Ziye routinely questioned the two disciples, but they also got nothing.

In the original text, Feng Hanjue spent more than half a month here, so Su Ziye was not in a hurry.

Cultivators below the golden core stage still need sleep, but the demand is not as great as that of ordinary people. Generally, they can be energetic after sleeping for two to three hours.Xiao Chenxuan's situation was special, after Su Ziye practiced together with him, he fell asleep.

Su Ziye left the house and went out for a couple of strolls.

He flapped his wings and inspected the whole city, and found nothing unusual, so he returned to the house.

However, when he was standing at the door of the guest room, he actually sensed a hint of demonic energy, which was so faint that it would have been impossible for him to detect it if he hadn't been for his superb cultivation.The restraint he placed in the guest room was not touched, and he didn't know if the demons were just passing by, or they came to the door on purpose but did not act rashly.

This Demon Race actually dared to take the initiative to appear.

Su Ziye regretted going out before, otherwise he might have a face-to-face meeting with the demons, then he would directly arrest them, and if there were any accomplices, he could use "read" to find them all.Now that the opportunity has been missed, it is useless to be upset, but it is not completely fruitless. At least Su Ziye knows that the strength of this demon clan should not be weak, otherwise he would not dare to rush outside the door of a monk in the out-of-body stage to investigate.

Pushing the door open and entering the room, Xiao Chenxuan was still lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully.

Su Ziye took off her coat, lay down beside him, couldn't help stretching out her fingers, and slid down the bridge of his high nose.

Xiao Chenxuan frowned, stretched out his hand and waved away the thing that made his nose itch.

The more Su Ziye looked at it, the more he liked it. On the premise of not waking Xiao Chenxuan up, he kept moving his hands and feet, and even untied his clothes, and stamped many seals on the original marks.So much so that when Xiao Chenxuan woke up the next day, he inexplicably found that there were many unsightly things on his body, and he was angry and funny.

After washing up, Xiao Chenxuan still followed Su Ziye out.

Another day passed quickly, as expected, there was no harvest, Su Ziye didn't go out that night, and wanted to wait to see if the demon from yesterday would come again.But the demons didn't wait, what they waited for was the news that another person died the next day.

Dare to kill people under their noses, it is undoubtedly slapping Qianfeng Jianzong in the face.

Su Ziye himself was not a member of Jianzong, so he didn't feel anything about it, but Xiao Chenxuan and the other three felt a little embarrassed, it was better that Zhuang Feng was calmer, but Qi Yang was relatively agitated, and only shut up after being stopped by Su Ziye.

In fact, Su Ziye doesn't care whether people die in this world or how many people die.

But superficial skills still need to be done, so when Feiyun came to visit, Su Ziye immediately received them.This time Tu Xinghua didn't seem to escape as much as last time, on the contrary, his expression was very serious.There was no other reason, this time it was a member of their faction who died, and he still died in the backyard of the sect, it seemed that he was killed when he woke up at night.

The Feiyun sect is also a sect of cultivating immortals after all, and there are demons killing people in their residence, and none of the monks noticed.

Compared with the previous two who died during the investigation, this time the situation is more serious.

The bodies of the dead Feiyun Sect disciples were still inside the sect, and Su Ziye and the others went to investigate together.The scene was well protected, even the bloodstains were not cleaned up. Su Ziye noticed that many disciples were watching in secret, so he turned on the listening button.

The vast majority of people are still afraid, for fear that they will be the next to die.

Only a very small number of disciples had nothing to do with themselves, and they were thinking about other things in their minds. There were even two who thought that this disciple died well, but it sounded like there was only grievances and had no direct relationship with his death.

Su Ziye searched around and temporarily ruled out the suspicion of these disciples.

However, he had an intuition that it was no accident that this case would happen inside the Feiyun faction.

After returning, Xiao Chenxuan said worriedly: "It was just ordinary people before, but now it has started to target monks, and even Jindan monks have not noticed their whereabouts, brother, we have to be careful."

Su Ziye Xin said that you didn't notice it the night before yesterday, you were still in the Nascent Soul stage, and you slept soundly.

"We have no clue now, if we continue like this, we don't know how many people will die." Xiao Chenxuan frowned, "Maybe the suzerain can send some more people over, let's investigate the whole city directly."

Su Ziye nodded: "Alright, I'll use the sound transmission talisman to contact the Sovereign."

The suzerain responded quickly, but he did not agree to Su Ziye's request. He only said that a small demon clan does not need to send out so many manpower, and let Su Ziye solve it by himself.

Xiao Chenxuan couldn't believe it.

Su Ziye was as expected. In the original text, it was Feng Hanjue, master and apprentice who resolved the matter in the end. Maybe he also asked the suzerain for help but was rejected.

Xiao Chenxuan was a little unhappy.

The suzerain in his memory should be kind and amiable, but he didn't know why it suddenly became unreasonable this time.

Su Ziye felt that he should not be allowed to have such a wrong perception, so he said, "Junior brother, do you know that the suzerain actually hates me?"

Xiao Chenxuan widened his eyes and shook his head blankly.

Su Ziye said: "Actually, at the beginning, Master wanted to pass on the position of suzerain to me, and even talked to me secretly, but I had no interest in being in charge of the entire Sword Sect, so I refused, so Master chose Senior Brother. "

Xiao Chenxuan said: "Brother, no, does the suzerain know about this?"

Su Ziye laughed and said: "It is precisely because he knows about this that he is extremely afraid of me, lest I will steal his seat someday."

Xiao Chenxuan said: "But you have already given up once."

Su Ziye said: "He doesn't think so, what can I do?"

Immortal cultivators are different from ordinary people in their age. They often retreat for several years, and their age is more than ordinary people's age plus one zero.However, the suzerain is obsessed with his appearance, and the monks usually keep their face when they form the alchemy, that is to say, what they look like when they form the alchemy, they will look like this until they die.

The suzerain was already 33 years old when he formed the alchemy. Feng Hanjue started the alchemy decades later than him, but he formed the alchemy at the age of 20. It is no wonder that the suzerain cares so much about their talents. .Xiao Chenxuan started 20 years later than Feng Hanjue, and was the last disciple of the old suzerain. His talent was between Feng Hanjue and the suzerain. He formed alchemy at the age of 28, and he looked older than Feng Hanjue.

"Speaking of which, isn't senior brother's cultivation back then about to enter the stage of distraction?" Xiao Chenxuan suddenly thought, "Why do I wake up this time, but feel that senior brother's cultivation has regressed?"

Su Ziye laughed and said, "Isn't that because of the war with the demons back then? I was injured a little bit."

Xiao Chenxuan said nervously: "Already recovered?"

Su Ziye said: "It's fully recovered, you don't have to worry."

Xiao Chenxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that the re-acquaintance with the suzerain made him feel worried. He was worried that if this incident was not resolved, they would be made things difficult by the suzerain after they returned.

Su Ziye said helplessly: "Then he wouldn't be so blatant. After all, we didn't make any mistakes."

Xiao Chenxuan sighed: "Unfortunately, we have no clue so far."

The next day, Su Ziye and Xiao Chenxuan came to Feiyun School again.

The disciple's body had already been put into the coffin and was ready to be buried on another day. He had not been in school yet, had contact with his parents, and was a local, so the coffin was carried back to his home before he became a teacher.

When Su Ziye left, it happened to be the time when the disciple's parents brought the coffin home. The mother cried so hard that she would have almost fallen to the ground if she hadn't been supported by her husband.

Su Ziye's heart was as hard as iron, and she felt nothing.

Xiao Chenxuan hid behind him, and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.

Sue cotyledons:"……"

Su Ziye found that even if he recovered his memory, some missing emotions seemed to fail to come back.Speaking of which, although he knew that he was no longer an orphan, he seemed to be no different from an orphan during the hundreds of years in the Scarlet plane.

In addition to the orcs, the Scarlet plane also has human-like animals, just like the spirit beasts in the world of immortality, but the species are completely different from those on the earth.Back then, his father secretly gave birth to him and raised him outside. In order not to be discovered by others, his father did not dare to hire orcs, but instead found some kind of highly intelligent animal on the planet as a nanny.

To use an analogy, it's like a child raised by a collie.

If his father hadn't come to visit him once a year, staying for a few days each time to teach him some common sense about orcs, maybe he would really live no different from a beast.

Probably because of this, he didn't have deep feelings for his father, let alone others.

It's ridiculous to say that he has lived until now, and the only person he has ever felt true affection for is actually the hero of each world, a character who doesn't know whether he really exists.

Tu Xinghua invited Su Ziye and Xiao Chenxuan in.

In fact, Su Ziye didn't know what he could do when he came here, but he had an intuition that there was a problem in the Feiyun faction, so he thought it might be fruitful to have a look.

He started to lead Xiao Chenxuan around aimlessly in Feiyun School.

When passing a certain room, he stopped involuntarily, and then pushed open the door.

Xiao Chenxuan was taken aback, and ran in after his footsteps, saying: "Brother, this is his house after all, why don't we rush in?"

Su Ziye said calmly: "We are investigating the case for them, it's okay."

As he spoke, he began to fiddle with the furnishings in the room.

Seeing his rude actions, Xiao Chenxuan felt terrified, for fear that he would knock someone else's things.

Finally, when she touched a shelf behind the bed frame, Su Ziye noticed something was wrong.That shelf is not movable like other furniture, Su Ziye found the mechanism after only trying two methods based on his own experience.He turned the shelf half a circle clockwise, and the floor tiles on which the legs of the shelf were fixed also turned accordingly, and a secret passage suddenly appeared under the bed board.

Xiao Chenxuan was startled, and couldn't help but take half a step back.

Su Ziye walked up to him, glanced at the secret passage, and said, "Do you know who owns this room?"

Xiao Chenxuan shook his head.

Su Ziye pondered for a moment, then told him: "I'll go down and have a look first, you stay here and don't walk around casually, I'll come up soon."

Xiao Chenxuan wanted to go down with him, but he was also afraid that he would cause trouble when he went down, so he agreed to stay.

Su Ziye tucked the hem of her clothes under her belt, bent over and stepped in.

The secret passage was very dark, so Su Ziye took out a luminous pearl to illuminate it.Xiao Chenxuan looked outside, but before he could take another look, the bed board was closed again.

Xiao Chenxuan almost cried out.

Just then, a young man walked in from the door.

Xiao Chenxuan turned around quickly, and looked at him with some guilt.

The young man saluted him: "So it's Master Xiao, I wonder who is in my room."

Seeing doubts in Xiao Chenxuan's eyes, he quickly introduced himself: "I am the junior brother of the sect master, and my name is Mo Xinghe. I don't know what Master Xiao is doing in my room?"

When he discovered the secret passage, Xiao Chenxuan decided that the owner of this room was not simple, so naturally Su Ziye's whereabouts would not be exposed at this moment, he said indifferently: "Just walking around casually, wanting to see if there are any clues."

Mo Xinghe smiled and said: "Then Master Xiao has something to gain?"

"Nothing." Xiao Chenxuan shook his head, "I didn't mean to break into your room, so I'll leave now."

After that, he was about to walk outside the house.

But when he passed by Mo Xinghe, he held his shoulder.

"Why did the immortal master leave in such a hurry?"

The author has something to say: [Xiao Meng Duan]

Check the time in the morning not to get up, but to see how long you can sleep. .
