Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 105: Craftsman Lian Gou (th update)
Wei Xi thought he could delay it for a while.

After all, Xu Xiangyang had just searched for a long time in there with both magic weapons before he found them.

Apparently Wei Xi underestimated Xu Xiangyang, a medicine cultivator at the Jindan stage. Xu Xiangyang skillfully dissected the corpse in front.

It is just like this to ignore the whole cow.

Under Wei Qin's shocked gaze, Xu Xiangyang cut with incredible precision, and the thin boning knife cut vertically into the man's chest, avoiding the existing wounds on the body.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Xu Xiangyang picked out a piece of minced meat with his thin knife.

"There is something fishy indeed," Xu Xiangyang murmured.

Wei Xi also saw a few grains of mud on the meat, which was obviously the same as what Xu Xiangyang had discovered before.

This corpse belongs to the leader of the Hu people, who was also killed by Zhuang Yi. It is obvious that this kind of thing should not appear in his body.

It is obvious that this mysterious soil that came from nowhere is a key clue.

Perhaps we can use it to determine the origins of these Hu people, after all, Boluo Kingdom is not a small place; or perhaps the strange behavior of these Hu people before their death is also related to this soil.

In that case, Wei Xi didn't need to waste any more words, and Xu Xiangyang began to examine the remaining bodies himself.

This means that there is not much time left for the Lian Gou Xie operation.

This is not Lian Gou's fault. He still can't figure out how the guard who looked like a Ju person became the driver of this Hu people's team.

The two men are different in appearance, body shape and beard.

But the needle holes on the neck of the corpse told Lian Gouqie that this was the guard who was an accomplice to the crime.

The face of the same corpse told Lian Gouqie that this was an unknown coachman of the Hu people's caravan.

Lian Gouqie, who was the embodiment of a painting, was an excellent painter. Naturally, he had a photographic memory for people's appearances and he would never make a mistake.

Since Wei Xi guessed that the person who took away the corpse was a cultivator, Lian Gou Xie thought that it made sense to fake his appearance.

There must be a reasonable explanation, whether it's pills, talismans, sleight of hand, or some kind of sorcery to replace one's head.

The most urgent thing is what to do after Wei Xi explains his own affairs.

Wei Xi wanted to find useful clues on his own, but the scope was very vague, and Lian Gouqie, whose worldview was almost collapsed, fell into trouble again.

Wei Xi's character is now only concerned with two things: one is to find the corpse to take revenge on Zhuang Yi, and the other is to find out the person who knocked her unconscious.

Lian Gouqie had a bold idea: Could these two people be the same person?

You don’t say it, you really don’t say it, Lian Gouyu thought of a very likely answer under extremely nervous circumstances.

Lian Gouqi, who had been humiliated by Wei Xi's intelligence for a long time, suppressed his joy and continued to think about how this conclusion could help him.

At this time, the skilled Xu Xiangyang was approaching.

This monk's actions can be said to be flawless. Since he took the bones away, why did he kill a county guard?

There was clearly Wei Xi, a person who had been knocked unconscious.

You have to know that Wei Xi was not wearing a Taoist robe at that time, and she herself was not a cultivator with profound cultivation. It was easy for that man to kill Wei Xi.

Or maybe he has already found a scapegoat and doesn't want to go through the trouble.

Or maybe he knew that Wei Xi was a cultivator and didn't want to attract the attention of several sects.

Lian Gou-ye didn't know the answer right now, but he knew one thing: this man had gone to so much trouble to hide his identity and take the bones. Seeing Xu Xiangyang approaching, Lian Gou-ye acted decisively, shooting a flying needle from his fingers and piercing the corpse's neck, then retracting it.

After all, he makes a living by his martial arts skills. Lian Gou Xie moved so fast that Wei Xi didn't even notice his movements and just thought that Lian Gou Xie was powerless to save the situation.

Helplessly, Wei Xi could only stare at Xu Xiangyang's movements with Qin Feng.

Xu Xiangyang found soil in all seven bodies.

Even when Xu Xiangyang was examining the third body, he directly cut open the lung.

Wei Xi noticed this and asked, "Senior Xu, do you suspect that this mud was inhaled by them when they were alive?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiangyang raised his head in surprise, "Does this young Taoist friend know how organs work?"

"My father was a hunter, and my grandmother butchered pigs to support the family," Weixi explained. "I learned how to handle animals."

"So that's how it is. I guess Fellow Daoist Wei is also a smart and careful person." Xu Xiangyang didn't stop moving his hands. "If Fellow Daoist Wei didn't have the same problem as Fellow Daoist Lian Gou that he's afraid of these things, he'd be quite suitable to be a medicine cultivator."

Wei Xi just smiled. What a joke! How comfortable was she staying in Qingcheng Sect?

"Friend Wei is right. The dirt we found earlier was near the lungs." Xu Xiangyang slightly moved his hand aside to make it easier for Wei Xi and Qin Feng to examine. "Although few people study these organs, I have accumulated some experience through practical application."

"The lungs are responsible for internal and external exchange. Since the dirt was found around the lungs, it must have been absorbed into the body from the outside."

"So," Qin Feng said half-believingly, "could it be possible that they accidentally inhaled this thing?"

Xu Xiangyang is a technical talent and he is not capable of speculating on motives.

But Wei Xi was very good at this. She said, "It's unlikely. These things are still stagnant near the lungs. It shows that the person died not long after they entered."

"At that time, it was raining heavily in Tangkou Town and Longhu Mountain. These barbarians had nowhere to breathe in the mud."

Even Wei Xi knew who had done it: it was the monk who had escaped with the bones.

This man must be prepared to kill all the Hu people without leaving anyone alive after he is done with his job. He would first kill the Hu people without anyone noticing, and then let the three of them fight against County Magistrate Cheng head-on.

Wei Xi sneered in his heart. This man was too clever, and his attempts to cover up his mistakes only made things more obvious.

This man tried his best to wipe out the Hu people, simply because he was afraid that the Hu people would reveal his true identity and someone - such as Wei Xi - would follow the clues and destroy their lair.

But I'm not sure what this clay-shaped thing is used for.

Xu Xiangyang planned to keep this thing and study it. Wei Xi and the other two hadn't shared any information with him, as they were on the same side as Zhuang Yi.

Wei Xi used the excuse of going to the prison to get a confession, and left with Qin Feng.

"Did you two discover anything just now?" Qin Feng asked immediately after he had avoided the crowd.

This was a long story, so Wei Xi asked Qin Feng to wait. Wei Xi was currently thinking about something else.

Lian Gouyue shook the flying needle in his hand and said, "Is there anyone among the monks who knows the magic to distinguish people by their blood? I want to know who that person is."

Wei Xi's face was gloomy: she wanted to pry open Lian Gou's head to see what was inside. She didn't believe what was obvious.

The next second, the hook made the two of them look at each other with admiration.

Suddenly, a piece of meat appeared in Lian Gou's hand, which was obviously taken from Xu Xiangyang just now.

"At first my attention was on that person, and I almost missed this," Lian Gouyue picked at it with his fingertips in disgust, "This is not mud, this is sand!"
