"I'm sure it's in this village, but exactly where it is... I can't figure it out!" Zhu Xiang looked helpless.
From the outside, he looks like a middle-aged Daoist with a Chinese character face who is at least in his fifties.
But those who actually know him know that he has just turned thirty this year.
The reason why he looks so old is because he keeps running around, suppressing ghosts and evil spirits in various places, does not get enough rest, and consumes a lot of energy, which is why he appears to be aging prematurely.
The other Thunderclap Palm Dai Yunhua is a bald man with a short stature and extremely thick arms. He is in his mid-twenties, full of energy, and has a palm technique and a pistol technique, and a tacit cooperation, which has made him quite famous in the world.
This time, because of their relationship with Brother Hao, the two have been friends for many years. They were worried about Brother Hao's safety, so they actively proposed to join this investigation.
Brother Hao is now the deputy police station of the first district among the seven large districts of West East City.
At the beginning of Blood Character Case's reappearance this time, he sent out his capable generals, but three people died in a row. After that, he had no choice but to take action himself. "If we can't detect it all the time, is it possible that we have to stay in this village forever?" Dai Yunhua said with an impatient expression.
"Don't be impatient. In fact, compared to us, the hidden murderer is definitely bigger than us..." Daoist Zhu Xiang didn't finish his words. Suddenly, there was sand and rocks flying around, and the air became blurry.
Amid the swirling gray stones, a translucent shadow quickly approached the three of them, heading straight for the weakest one, Brother Hao.
Bang bang bang!!
At this moment, Brother Hao reacted in time, raised his hand and fired three shots, all of which accurately hit the flying shadow.
The phantom paused for a moment, and after being delayed for a moment, Daoist Thunderclap Palm Dai Yunhua took action, pulled out a short pistol, and fired at the phantom again and again.
Bang bang bang!
Amidst the continuous gunfire, the shadow actually became more and more accustomed to the bullet shooting, and even the hysteresis effect was gone. The momentum changed and went straight to Dai Yunhua.
"This guy!! Bullets are useless!?" Dai Yunhua was shocked. This was the first time he saw a real ghost. He had lived in the city before and had seen alienated bodies, but this was his first time seeing a ghost.
"Keep the distance, dodge first, and wait for me to cast the spell!" Zhu Xiang shouted at this time.
Dai Yunhua didn't believe in evil, so he raised his hand to practice his kung fu, Thunderclap Palm's power gathered in his palm, and hit the phantom hard with his palm.
"I don't believe it!!"
He had also cautiously fought against alienated bodies before, but now he was fearless and fearless, and used all his strength to strike with one palm.
Unexpectedly, the phantom suddenly turned real, stretched out a withered black arm, and smashed the Thunderclap Palm he hit.
Bang!!
The two palms collided, and Dai Yunhua groaned miserably on the spot. He was knocked backwards and fell to the muddy ground, rolling around for more than ten times.
For a moment, he felt as if he had been hit in half by a crazy old cow. His throat was so sweet that he vomited a mouthful of blood on the spot.
The arm I shot was in severe pain and had no strength at all.
Seeing that the phantom continued to rush toward him, at this moment, Zhu Xiang suddenly raised his hand and pointed his finger farther away from him.
A flash of red fire suddenly lit up at his fingertips.
He muttered something in his mouth, holding a piece of yellow blood-patterned talisman paper in his other hand, quickly stepped forward, and pressed it hard against the shadow.
Poof.
The phantom screamed and began to struggle.
But the next moment, Zhu Xiang punched out a second talisman paper, forcing it to stay in place, unable to move.
Zhu Xiang kept chanting scriptures in his mouth, and soon pointed again, accurately hitting the ghost's forehead.
This time, it was completely destroyed, and in just a few seconds, it disappeared in mid-air without leaving any trace.
Phew!
Brother Hao and Dai Yunhua both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"It's too exaggerated! I have seen alienated bodies before, but they are not as powerful as this ghost! How can a human being cope with this?" Dai Yunhua sighed.
"You didn't believe it before, but now you are convinced?" Brother Hao asked abruptly from the side.
"I'm convinced, I'm convinced... I'm really not afraid of guns or fists, but why are I so afraid of the talisman paper in your hand, Daoist Master? Can you sell a few of these talisman papers to me? After all, in this world, you may encounter similar trouble one day." Dai Yunhua said with a bitter smile.
"This is a talisman. Even if I sell it to you, you won't be able to use it." Zhu Xiang said helplessly. He bent down and picked up a black bead that fell from Xuying's body. "Because we, the Daoist lineage, do not rely on our own strength to conquer demons and eliminate demons, but rely on talisman paper to convey the situation to the underworld and heaven, and then the ghosts, generals and gods on duty will transmit power to imprison and punish demons and ghosts."
"In this... world, is there really an underworld and a heaven?" Dai Yunhua asked in surprise.
"I don't know even if you are experienced. Anyway, we have been learning this way since before. Since there is power passed down, there should be some..." Zhu Xiang sighed.
"Then, is there any way that ordinary people like me can overcome these troubles?" Brother Hao asked from the side.
"Difficult." Zhu Xiang shook his head, "Talisman, spells, and magic weapons all require people within our inheritance system to mobilize their power. Even if ordinary people can master them, they will be of no use."
After discussing for a while, the three of them got rid of the ghosts entrenched here, and then continued to investigate the case.
It was only after this investigation that they discovered that just as they had been dealing with the ghosts for such a short time, three more families were killed in the village. The main force in the three families were young adults.
The three people had no choice but to explain and comfort the three families one by one. They persuaded their direct blood relatives to move to live near the police station immediately to ensure safety.
It was okay at first. The first two families persuaded the blood relatives smoothly.
This is the case for Blood Character Case. All victims will have a word of blood on their foreheads. After the word of blood appears, at least three days and as many as five days, direct blood relatives will be killed one after another.
But when they arrived at the third house, there was only one old man who died. After being suppressed by Zhu Xiang, he asked the people in the surrounding villages, but found no other blood relatives.
It wasn't until I asked the village chief that I learned something about the situation.
"This man's name is Xie Daxin. His wife died of illness many years ago. Now there is only one son left, working outside. It seems... doing chores like apprenticeship. I'm not sure." The village chief hesitated.
Brother Hao frowned and looked at Zhu Xiang.
"Daoist Priest, if this blood relative is far away, will the blood character still take effect?"
"Same. This is similar to an implicated curse and will not be invalidated due to distance restrictions." Zhu Xiang nodded.
"Then it seems that we have to find the Xie Family son quickly! Otherwise, if someone dies again, the blood will continue to spread." Dai Yunhua frowned. Blood Character Case is like this. It affects not only direct blood relatives, but also strangers who touch the body rashly.
Otherwise, this case would not have caused Brother Hao such a headache. As long as the direct blood relatives of the victim are dead, everything will be over.
The three of them had no choice but to ask around for the whereabouts of Xie Daxin's son.
After asking a lot of questions, I finally got the name and location of the Xie Family's son from a girl who liked him.
"His name is Xie Tieniu, and he should still be working as a helper and apprentice at the Pine Breeze Sword Hall in the city."
"Pine Breeze Sword Hall?"
Dai Yunhua was slightly startled.
"What?" Brother Hao looked at his friend.
"This place seems to have been a fitness sword gym run by an ordinary swordsman in the past. Later, the swordsman passed away and was succeeded by one of his proud disciples. Then he gradually got better. His swordsmanship and martial arts were pretty good." Dai Yunhua recalled.
"How does it compare to you?" Brother Hao asked.
"I haven't fought before, so I don't know. But if I really want to fight, the opponent is a pure swordsman and cannot be my opponent." Dai Yunhua patted the black short gun on his waist and said confidently.
The three people immediately planned to go to the city to look for the person and put on the body. Before they reached the entrance of the village, they were called back by the villagers.
Because Xie Tieniu happened to be back too.
As soon as Xie Tieniu saw his father's body, he howled loudly. A strong man about 1.8 meters tall bowed his head and fell on the ground, crying loudly. Several villagers held him aside to prevent him from touching the body.
The three people reluctantly stepped forward and had a difficult exchange.
"What? You don't plan to go back to the police station with us? Then where are you going? Are you not afraid of death??" Brother Hao looked at this Xie Tieniu incomprehensibly. Xie Tieniu had a simple and honest face, is strong, with the currently popular short-cut hair, and is wearing a clean and unpatched gray-white shorts. His face does not have the appearance of other villagers, and his cheeks have no sunken cheeks. He looks more like a young master from a wealthy family than an ordinary villager in this village.
In fact, these days, young masters from moderately wealthy families may not be able to eat so energetically.
Even in the city, at a glance on the street, 90% of the people are pretty, short and thin, with an average height of less than 1.6 meters. "I will go back to the sword hall and ask the master to do justice for me!" Xie Tieniu said angrily.
"Master? Who is your master?" Brother Hao is strange. Is it possible that he is lucky enough to meet a second strange person besides Zhu Xiang? "My master is the master of the sword hall Pine Breeze Sword Hall!" Xie Tieniu later joined the sword hall as a rough martial arts disciple. At that time, the previous master of the hall had long passed away, so naturally he could only worship Lin Hui as his master.
At this time, when he spoke, his tone was decisive, and he obviously had great confidence in his master.
But when the three of them heard that they were the master of the sword hall, Bai Neidou knew that it was impossible for the other party to deal with the ghosts and troubles that appeared along with Blood Character Case. The three tried hard to persuade them, but Steel Ox just accepted death and did not trust the three of them at all. He quickly packed his luggage, snatched his father's body, and went to the sword hall with them to beg the master of the sword hall.
"Steel Ox, Steel Ox Don't be impulsive. If this corpse is taken away by someone who doesn't know how to deal with it, ghosts will appear on the first night, living corpses will appear on the second day, and the murderer will appear on the third day. Even if your master is very skilled in martial arts, he can't defeat this ghost. It's a living corpse!" Dai Yunhua persuaded with earnest words. "I don't care! You all get out of my way!" Xie Tieniu wrapped and tied his father's body with layers of rags and quilts, lowered his head and rushed out of the house. The three of them didn't want to conflict with him, so they had to get out of the way.
In desperation, the three people quickly took the remaining corpses back to the small Daoist temple of Zhu Xiang. After the disposal was completed, they followed Pine Breeze Sword Hall who went straight to the suburbs. In any case, they must not let the scope of Blood Character Case expand further.
At this time, in the sword hall.
Lin Hui was gently stroking Wish-Fulfilling, who had just taken it out, applying sword oil to it.
Now that his body transformation is complete, it's a pity that he went to Water Buffalo Village and found nothing at all.
I had no choice but to come back to meditate and sort out my physical condition.
Blood Seal is still evolving, but although it cannot be identified at this time, it is still possible to check its own status.
Lin Hui sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and lines of red text messages appeared quickly below his field of vision.
He skipped the rest and looked directly at the special effects column.
In addition to the special effects that existed before, the new special effects that appeared after coming here are the solid foundation he has worked hard to lay over the years. "Special effects: Born Divine Power (your basic strength is naturally ten times that of ordinary people), as light as a swallow (your reaction speed and movement speed are naturally much higher than ordinary people), steel and iron Bones (your muscles and bones are stronger than copper and iron), super-speed recovery (you are born with a recovery speed far beyond that of ordinary people), invulnerability to all poisons (99% of the poisons on the market are like condiments to you, with minimal harm), perception of blessings and disasters (you have a special sense of the blessings and disasters of the events in front of you), and mind (any sneak attack is like a clear sign to you)."
Without using star power, these combined and improved Pine Breeze Swordsmanship are his true confidence now.
