Chapter 273 The True Image of the Resurrected Warrior 500 Years Ago
Lie Huo signaled the bandit to return to his seat and sit down, then sighed and said, "Before giving the task, let the drunkard deputy team leader explain the details to everyone."

The drunkard immediately rubbed his throat, as if he wanted to suppress the rising wine bug, he swallowed hard and coughed dryly, "Let me tell you a story first. Have you all heard of the nine-tailed fox?"

Everyone nodded unanimously. The nine-tailed fox is a legend in the mythical world. It is said that it has thousands of years of Taoism and can transform into beautiful women to seduce people.Moreover, the women transformed by the nine-tailed fox are all stunning beauties, making all the men who see them willingly abandon everything just to win the hearts of their beauties, so this is how the derogatory name of vixen comes from.It is said that Shang Zhou was finally killed in the hands of a nine-tailed fox, and that nine-tailed fox is Su Daji who is still familiar today.

"Nine-tailed fox...cough..." The drunkard picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. Maybe he didn't feel satisfied, so he drank it down again, cleared his throat and continued: "The legendary nine-tailed fox is a A very rare species of white-haired fox, they will appear once every 100 years, transforming into the appearance of a stunning beauty to seduce men, and then devour their hearts for food, and must eat 99 hearts. After that The Nine Fox Tails will enter deep sleep, and continue to cultivate in the deep sleep for 100 years, and then come out again after a hundred years to find a fresh heart, and repeat this until nine tails grow out."

The demon spirit shouted: "Boss, these are just folk myths and legends."

Agni reached out his hand to stop the demon spirit from continuing to speak, and said, "Listen to the deputy team leader."

The demon spirit curled his lips and stopped talking.

The drunkard smiled lightly, and continued: "Yes, this is a myth and legend, and it is impossible for these things in the myth to exist in the world. But..." The drunkard deliberately emphasized his tone, scanning everyone's faces one by one, and said : "There is a file sealed in our Dragon Soul, which contains records about the Nine-Tailed Fox."

The girl lost her voice and said, "Is there really a nine-tailed fox in this world?"

"Shuirou." Lie Huo glared at her, and the girl named Shuirou stuck out her tongue, not daring to make a sound.

The drunkard sighed softly, picked up a file bag at hand and said: "This is the information about the nine-tailed fox that Dragon Soul has kept well." He put down the file bag and asked: "About the legend of Qiandu Town, I wonder how many of you have heard of it?"

After looking at each other in blank dismay, all the people sitting there nodded their heads, and most of them shook their heads.

The drunkard continued: "In Qiandu Town, 500 years ago, many people died overnight. It is said that the number is close to a thousand."

No one spoke, everyone was listening quietly.They knew that what the alcoholic said next must be related to this murder and the legendary nine-tailed fox.

The drunkard glanced at Chu Yuan meaningfully, and then said eloquently: "500 years ago, the townspeople in Qiandu Town died for no reason, and all the dead without exception had their hearts missing. At the beginning, this The incident did not draw too much attention from people. On the first day, only a few people died, and the news was blocked by the government, so there was no major disturbance. On the second day, more than a dozen people died. Finally, the people in the town began to feel something was wrong, but they were suppressed by the government. On the third day after that, hundreds of people died overnight. The townspeople were in panic all day long, and some of them planned to move out This town went to escape, but at this moment, the government sealed off the entire Qiandu Town and several small villages nearby."

Shuirou couldn't help asking: "What about those townspeople?"

The drunkard shrugged his shoulders and said, "They died. Some of them died inexplicably like the people in front of them. Most of them were burned to death by local officials because of the plague."

Probably because of women's inherently kind motherhood, Rose and Shuirou exclaimed in unison: "Why?"

Agni shook his head and said, "Maybe the local officials don't want this news to leak out, so as not to affect their careers."

Rose said angrily: "Could it be possible to kill those thousands of lives just for your own benefit?"

Shui Rou couldn't help nodding her head, her expression was very angry.

"Okay." The drunkard joked: "It's been hundreds of years, it's useless for you to be angry now? Unless you can find their tombs, and then drag them out and flog the corpses to vent your anger."

Li Huo stopped him and said, "Okay, don't interrupt anymore. Drunkard, you continue."

"En." The drunkard cleared his throat and continued: "After that disaster, Qiandu Town has almost become an empty town, and even the nearby towns have become wasteland. The officials at that time reported the war and plague as an excuse to the court, And the imperial court did not do much investigation and just recorded it like this. Because it was a time of war and there were refugees everywhere, so the imperial court soon pulled a group of people to settle down in Qiandu Town and started their lives again. But not long after, the heart The massacre happened again in Qiandu Town. Later, the townspeople who stayed there believed that the ghosts were killing them, and they were anxious all day long. Until later, Shaolin Temple dispatched 38 monks to Qiandu Town to rescue those ghosts. Qiandu Town has been able to calm down to this day."

"Wait a minute, deputy team leader." Yao Ling yelled, "You just said that everyone in Qiandu Town is dead? Are there still a few people who survived?"

The drunkard explained: "Those families moved out of Qiandu Town before, and later came back to settle down. They only knew that the town was burned by the government, but they didn't know the truth of the matter, so they passed it down as a falsehood."

"Oh." The demon spirit suddenly realized: "After a long time, it turned out that it was still fake news. Hey, so you already knew about it? Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"Demon Spirit." Lie Huo said in a deep voice: "We will talk about these things later, let the deputy team leader finish talking about it now."

"understood."

The drunkard continued: "Are you wondering why Qiandu Town became peaceful after the 38 Shaolin monks left?"

Everyone looked at each other and nodded, except for Chu Yuan, who seemed to have that expression and that posture from the beginning to the end.

"Those Shaolin monks didn't go to transcend. Transcendence is a matter for civil monks. The 38 monks in the past were all monks, and they were all monks with the most outstanding martial arts in Shaolin Temple at that time." The drunkard picked up his teacup, and then He found that there was no more tea in the cup, so he took the teacup in front of the fire and drank it in one gulp before saying: "The Shaolin Temple at that time decided to dispatch 37 monks after receiving the request from the officials of Qiandu Town Master Puci, the head of the Bodhidharma Hall, led the team to Qiandu Town overnight."

Just as Rose opened his mouth, the drunk immediately said, "Stop talking, I know what you want to say. Shaolin Temple is not helping the imperial court, they just pity those innocent people."

Rose pursed her lips and stopped making a sound.

"And the rumors that Shaolin monks came to Qiandu Town to rescue the ghosts were also released by the government. Anyway, everyone thought that the ghosts were taking their lives, so they took advantage of the situation. The 38 monks arrived in Qiandu Town. With the cooperation of the Shaolin monks, they launched a sleepless investigation, and then they quickly found the clues and followed them all the way. But the murderer is very cunning, and every time he is close to the answer, all the clues are cut off out of thin air. These Shaolin monks and this never-before-disclosed The murderer in the past just kept playing hide-and-seek for half a month. They didn’t discover the true face of the murderer until an accident.” The drunkard flipped through the files in front of him and said, “In the current forest on the south side of Lie Patrol Mountain There used to be a small village where people used to bring the dry food grown to nearby towns to exchange for daily necessities. They are also very familiar. But one day, a staff from a medicinal material shop came to report to the official. Because their medicinal material shop has a long-term cooperative relationship with the people in the village, several families in the village grow some herbs for them. But that time is over. The agreed time for delivery has been several days, but no one in the village has come to deliver the goods, so the owner of the medicine shop asked the assistant to go to the mountains to find them to urge the goods. But when the assistant arrived there, he found that there was no living person in the whole village, all It was a dead body, the staff was so frightened that they ran out of the mountain to report the crime. The Shaolin monks went into the mountain together with the police officers from the government. When they got there, they found that everyone in this village had been dead for a long time, and the corpses were almost rotten. Because the guy was too scared at the time, he didn't make it clear that these corpses had decomposed. After checking, he inferred that these people had been dead for at least five months. People in Shaolin Temple believed that the murderer was probably hiding in this mountain, and asked The government searched the mountain, but this search turned up a big problem."

"The murderer was indeed hiding in that mountain, but when they found the murderer, they realized that the murderer was not a human being at all. It was..." The drunkard looked at Chu Yuan and said word by word, "Nine-tailed fox."
