Chapter 26 Corpse
"Palace Master Qin should pay more attention to his own test results."

"I heard that the apprentice demon-suppressing masters you recruited this time are all mediocre. How about I transfer a few of them to you?"

He Chunlin joked with a smile.

Xiao Tianci standing by also took a sip of tea, unable to hide the smile on his face.

"Hmph... no need for that. I can still produce talented people under my command."

Qin Ruobing's expression suddenly tightened.

In the past three years, she has always been at the bottom of the assessments, which is quite embarrassing for her as she has always had a strong self-esteem.

Since she had just taken office, her trainee demon-suppressing masters were extremely mediocre and suffered the greatest losses, so they were naturally not as good as the other two deputy hall masters.

He Chunlin and the other man also smiled faintly and stopped provoking each other.

Then peace returned to the hall again.

…………

Three days passed quickly.

Over the past three days, Lu Changsheng has been controlling the strange beasts to explore the dark river, and has also gained some results.

His own energy points increased to twenty again.

However, looking at the still dim plus sign behind the iron shirt, he knew that he was still a long way from deducing the technique.

Today is the day to set off, and Lu Changsheng got up early.

Fang Qing and her brother were also waiting in the yard early in the morning.

Seeing Lu Changsheng coming out, Fang Qing's face lit up with joy.

She walked over slowly, holding a few pieces of clothes in her hands.

"Take these clothes with you on the road, and be very careful when you go out."

Her tone was very gentle, and her eyes were shining.

It was as if I were a loving wife giving instructions to her husband who was away from home.

"My sister worked overnight to make these."

Fang Tao on the side did not forget to chime in.

This made Fang Qing blush, which was very charming.

"Thank you, Sister Qing. You guys stay at home while I'm away."

Lu Changsheng smiled slightly, took the clothes from the other person's hand, then walked past the two of them and walked out of the yard.

Until Lu Changsheng walked away, Fang Qing and the others continued to stare at his back quietly.

"Sister, do you like Brother Lu?"

"What are you talking about!"

Fang Qing's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, and she quickly walked into the bedroom.

Only when I came to the bed did I gradually calm my restless heart.

After a long time, she sighed softly.

As a widow who "kills her husband", she is no longer worthy of Lu Changsheng, who holds an official position.

After Lu Changsheng became rich, he still remembered their old friendship. This was already a great fortune for both of them, so naturally they didn't dare to expect too much.

………………

Lu Changsheng walked along the street, and under the awe-inspiring gazes of the civilians on both sides, he soon arrived at a remote place in the east of the city.

This is exactly the location shown on the quest token.

When he arrived, there were already four figures standing there.

There are three men and one woman, all of them are energetic and charming.

Lu Changsheng looked at one of the sinister men and was stunned.

It turned out to be Li Yunhua.

It was really a narrow road for enemies to meet. It was unexpected for him that they were both on the same mission.

"I'm afraid this trip to Yunxi Village will be very interesting."

He sneered secretly in his heart.

Seeing Lu Changsheng coming, Li Yunhua was stunned at first, then he laughed heartily: "Haha... Brother Lu is finally here, I will set off now."

His tone was very familiar, as if the two of them had been friends for many years.

At the same time, Li Yunhua was overjoyed. He didn't expect Lu Changsheng to knock on his door. This time he wanted to see how the other party died.

Of course he did not foolishly show any hostility, but instead showed a very cordial attitude.

If the other party dies "accidentally" later, it will no longer be your business.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Brother Li is still as charming as ever."

Lu Changsheng also smiled slightly, making people feel like spring breeze.

Of course he knew what Li Yunhua meant and began to cooperate with his performance.

Both of them had the same idea.

They started calling each other brothers and the scene was very harmonious.

Even the other three looked at the two of them strangely; they didn't expect that they were so familiar with each other.

Afterwards, they exchanged a few words briefly and set off.

Everyone walked through the city gate and walked quickly out of the city.

This was the first time Lu Changsheng had left the city since he was a child, and everything outside the city was so new to him.

There were weeds everywhere, and even the official road was a little shabby. There was no one on the road, which seemed very lonely, making him a little disappointed. As they walked and talked, Lu Changsheng became familiar with the others.

The only woman was named Yue Shulan, who was tall and had a heroic temperament.

The other two men were dressed in yellow robes and had resolute faces. They were both from the same family and had a close relationship with Li Yunhua.

These three people are obviously a small camp, headed by Li Yunhua.

Gradually, Yue Shulan also discovered that there was something strange about Lu Changsheng and Li Yunhua, as if they were not on good terms with each other, and she began to intentionally move closer to Lu Changsheng.

Since I can't even squeeze into the family circle, it's certainly not a waste of effort.

Lu Changsheng did not refuse, and after a few interactions they became familiar with each other.

The entire team was divided into two camps for a while.

Half an hour later.

As the group moved away from the county town, the road became increasingly difficult to travel on.

No wonder several people did not choose to ride horses.

Fortunately, they all have martial arts skills, so their speed is still quite fast.

They hurried along the way until the afternoon, when they arrived at the edge of a dilapidated village.

The surroundings were desolate, with a few dead trees growing on the slopes. Occasionally, the cries of crows could be heard, which was quite creepy.

A nearly dried-up river runs through the village, emitting a strong stench.

Yunxi Village is a remote village about dozens of miles east of Changping County. There are only about a thousand people in the village, and there are only a few acres of good farmland. Most of the people live a poor life.

But in the past six months, strange things have happened frequently.

One after another, villagers died mysteriously at home in extremely tragic ways.

The village chief was so frustrated that he reported the matter to the authorities.

When Lu Changsheng and his party passed through the dilapidated thatched huts on both sides and came to a slightly decent courtyard, the owner of the courtyard had already received the news and had been waiting outside for a long time.

At this time, a large group of villagers gathered around. Most of them were very thin, with a hint of fear on their faces.

At the front of the yard, an old man in green walked towards Lu Changsheng and his companions.

"I am Old Man Sun, the head of Yunxi Village. May I ask if you are the superior officer of the county town demon department?"

"I have already prepared the food."

The old man in green smiled and bowed, his attitude very humble.

"No need to eat, just take us to see where the incident happened."

Li Yunhua took the lead and spoke with a calm expression.

As warriors, they had enjoyed all kinds of delicious food, and everyone wanted to complete the task as quickly as possible so that they could return to the county town.

This place is too run-down and stinking everywhere, making people feel quite uncomfortable.

Old Man Sun paused, then forced a smile: "The adults, please follow me."

He led the way and walked towards a small hill on the side.

Lu Changsheng and others followed closely behind.

Soon, everyone arrived in front of a dilapidated courtyard.

Before I even got close, I could smell a strong stench of corpse, which was extremely disgusting.

Li Yunhua and others frowned and walked in quickly.

As soon as I stepped in, I saw a row of corpses covered with white cloth lying on the wooden boards.

There were ten bodies in total, arranged closely together, and the stench of corpses came from here.

Now that the weather is getting colder, I guess these bodies must have been dead for many days, which is why there is such a bad smell.

"These are the people who died strangely in the village in the past month. I didn't dare to move them..."

Old man Sun looked at the corpse in front of him with fear on his face.

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng slowly approached the corpse on the far right.

Lift the white cloth.

I saw a pale male corpse lying on a wooden board with his eyes bulging out, as if he had been frightened to death. It was extremely weird.

"Have you discovered anything else unusual recently? How long has it been since the first person died?"

He looked at Old Man Sun and spoke calmly.

When Old Man Sun heard this, his eyes gradually became vague, as if he was trying hard to recall.

After a moment, he said in a low voice: "It has been three months since the first accident, and the death toll has increased..."

"As for other abnormalities, it seems that there have been none. The village has always been very peaceful. It was only recently that this incident happened."

Lu Changsheng's expression changed slightly: "Why didn't you report it to the police before?"

"Pfft..."

Old man Sun was so frightened that he fell to his knees, his eyes full of panic.

"me……"

He was so anxious that he began to stutter and couldn't utter a word.

"Okay, no need to talk nonsense, you go down first."

Li Yunhua waved his hand and drove the other person out with an impatient look on his face.

They were all smart people, so how could they not understand the village chief's thoughts?

He chose to conceal the matter simply because he was afraid of affecting his position as village chief. Later, the matter became too big to be suppressed. In addition, the treacherous situation could take his life at any time. He had to report it under multiple pressures.
