Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 567
At noon, the sun was shining brightly.

On the official road to the south of Yucheng, Lin Ji and Zhong Xiaoyan walked briskly, side by side.

"This matter is my negligence no matter what. If your family has any objections, just ask someone to come to me." Lin Ji said apologetically.

Zhong Xiaoyan shook her head slightly.

"If you don't experience life and death when you come out to experience, then there is no experience. Speaking of Zhong Lei's mouth and reckless temper, I am actually very opposed to him coming to Victoria with me, but his father insisted that he come with him." , I can't help it." Zhong Xiaoyan didn't look particularly sad, but a little annoyed.

He shouldn't have been brought here!
"After all, he is your brother, and he just died on my territory. If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have let him go to Luoxia County."

"Don't feel too guilty. It's no big deal. There are ten people beside Zhong's family, and there are seven or eight people of the same generation. I'll just ask my father to explain it when the time comes. Besides, Zhong Lei's death was also asked for by him. I've had enough of his nonsense." Zhong Xiaoyan said casually.

This time she came out with Lin Ji, and she was just doing her duty. Although Zhong Lei's death was a bit sad and annoyed to her, it was really not a particularly sad thing.

Lin Ji didn't say anything about this.

Zhong Xiaoyan didn't care, so naturally he didn't care even more.

"I don't feel guilty about saying that."

"There's no need to feel guilty."

"If I had known earlier, I would have randomly arranged someone to handle this matter."

"That can't be done, after all, his surname is Zhong."

……

The two gossiped all the way, and it didn't take long before the destination of this trip, Luoxia County, could be seen in the distance ahead.

When they arrived at the place, the two stepped a little faster, and soon entered the county seat.

After that, they didn't delay for a moment, and went directly to the lobby of the Luoxia County Government Office.

The inside of the lobby was empty, and looked quite deserted, only a doorkeeper was dozing off at the door.

Lin Ji wakes up the yamen servant.

"Go and call your county magistrate."

The yamen servant was still ignorant, subconsciously frowned and said, "Who are you?"

Zhong Xiaoyan at the side took out the You Xing Token that he had just obtained.

Seeing You Xingling, the yamen servant immediately regained his spirits.

"My lords, wait a moment, I'll go and call County Magistrate Lou."

The yamen servant quickly went to the back hall, and a moment later, an old man came out of the back hall while arranging his untidy official uniform.

Seeing Lin Ji and Zhong Xiaoyan, County Magistrate Lou hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Lou Xingzhi, the magistrate of Luoxia County, has met the two lords of Tiansi Supervisor. Are the two lords here for the Luofengpo demon?"

Lin Ji nodded slightly and asked, "Who sent the news to Yucheng?"

"It's a subordinate."

"Besides the contents of the news, are there other discoveries?" Lin Ji asked again.

"It's gone. All the monks in the county lost their lives. The rest are just ordinary arresters. They are really powerless. Please don't blame me, my lord."

Lin Ji was not surprised.

It was obviously not too simple to be able to quietly kill the supervisor Tiansi Butou Yaozhang, a total of nine demons. Naturally, he would not expect these people without cultivation base to find anything.

"Have the corpses been recovered?"

"Yes, they're all in the morgue." As he said, County Magistrate Lou seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said, "By the way, my lord, the government servants who went to collect the corpses all caught cold after returning, and they were all bedridden."

"Fengchi?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Go to the morgue first, and then go to see the government servants."

"My lord, this way please." County magistrate Lou hurriedly led the way.

Lin Ji and Zhong Xiaoyan soon arrived at the morgue, while County Magistrate Lou just waited at the door.

A candle was lit in the corner of the morgue, and the dim candlelight made the whole room gloomy.

In the room, there were a total of nine plank beds, and the nine corpses were all covered with white cloth.

Lin Ji was not in a hurry to lift the white cloth to check the corpse, but shrugged his nose first.

"There is no corpse smell."

Zhong Xiaoyan looked at Lin Ji, she had no experience in this field.

Lin Ji said: "Although Victoria is not hot, but the weather in July, the corpse is exposed to the wild, and it only takes a few hours for the body to smell."

"These corpses were dragged back after the incident. I didn't know how long they had been dead before, but now there is no corpse smell in this morgue. This is not right."

Zhong Xiaoyan asked: "Didn't you say there were all mummies on the way here?"

"A mummified corpse also smells like a corpse, so there's not even a little bit of flesh and blood that can't be dried, right?"

While talking, Lin Ji casually lifted the white cloth from the nearest corpse.

When he saw the mummy, Lin Ji frowned.

What caught the eye was almost just a skeleton frame wrapped in skin.

Lin Ji stretched out his hand and pinched the corpse, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"It's actually right in one sentence, there is really no flesh and blood left, only skin and bones are left, but how did this happen?"

Lin Ji has worked in Tiansi for so many years, and this is not the first time he has seen the so-called mummy.

"If evil cultivators try to refine the flesh and blood, the deceased will be tortured beyond human form, and the appearance of death will be even more ugly. It will not be as peaceful as the corpse in front of us."

What puzzled Lin Ji the most was that although there was no flesh and blood on the face of the corpse in front of him, he could still vaguely see some expression.

It was the peace of dying without noticing, as if he didn't realize the danger was coming before he died.

Zhong Xiaoyan also noticed something was wrong, and asked, "Demon? Ghost?"

"I don't know." Lin Ji shook his head slightly, it was the first time he saw this kind of situation, and he had no clue.

Soon, Lin Ji looked at the remaining eight corpses, all of them were just like the first corpse, only skin and bones remained.

On the other hand, Zhong Lei's body was the only one in the innermost place, with a look of surprise on his face, but no look of fear.

"This kid seems to have seen the evil spirit before he died, but he wasn't afraid?" Lin Ji was a little puzzled, "I'm not afraid when death is imminent. What's the reason for that?"

Zhong Xiaoyan curled her lips.

"I don't think it's strange. He provoked the son of a Japanese traveling monk on the way, and when we were chased and killed by the Japanese traveling monk, I didn't see any panic in him. He even plausibly said, don't bully the young and poor."

It was the first time Lin Ji heard of this.

"Being hunted down by a Japanese traveling monk? Can you escape?"

A third realm and a fifth realm are not good at speed, no matter how you think about it, you can't escape the pursuit of the sixth realm.

"I can't escape." Zhong Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "Fortunately, there is no big grudge. After I was caught up, I reported myself and said that the matter had nothing to do with me. It was Zhong Lei who did it. Zhong Lei also echoed, so that The senior just cleaned him up and let me go."

"It's really not wrong for this kid to die." Lin Ji even felt a little bit of admiration for Zhong Lei in his heart.

You don't know how to restrain your mouth, it's so dead.

After seeing the corpse, Lin Ji took Zhong Xiaoyan out of the morgue and found the county magistrate Lou who was waiting outside.

"Let's go, go and see those yamen servants collecting corpses."

County Magistrate Lou responded quickly.

"Sir, please."
