Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 418 The Bronze Sword Under the Silt

The Shatonghai people caught him, but if the follow-up interrogation work is done solidly, making him unable to reverse the case, this matter still needs to be done.

Otherwise, relying on this guy's influence, it wouldn't be a complicated matter if there were repetitions.

Of course, this is just in case. After all, it is already a big taboo for nightcrawlers to show his true nature in public because this guy is in a hurry. On a certain level, his identity as a "monster" has been confirmed.

As far as this is concerned, he is already nailed to death.

There were many people who witnessed Sha Tonghai manifesting the truth, including the villagers present, the police who came to handle the case, and a bunch of people from the rivers and lakes who were invited to "subdue demons and eliminate demons".

These people, even if they are in the rivers and lakes, few of them have never seen the night crawler in its true form, let alone the villagers and the police. Calm and calm, under a series of instructions, the scene was quickly brought under control, allowing everyone to stabilize their emotions.

He first appeased the shocked and inexplicable villagers, and then commanded people to handcuff the recovered Sha Tonghai, and under our guidance, tied him up to prevent him from escaping.

Afterwards, Ma Yi'ao made a move, breaking the sea of ​​Qi in Sha Tonghai's dantian.

This place is the key point for Nightcrawler to condense the inner alchemy and demon essence. If this place is broken, decades of cultivation will be destroyed. No matter how powerful Sha Tonghai is, he may not be able to become fierce.

When doing this, Sha Tonghai woke up from a coma and cursed, but Ma Yi'ao didn't care. After all, this man committed heinous crimes for his own self-interest and killed five people in a row. However, even if he is a "rightist" who has always advocated lenient and gentle treatment of nightcrawlers, he will not have any sympathy left.

This kind of person has to do it, he has to be killed, and he has to learn the lesson, know how to fear and respect life.

Otherwise, if there are no rules, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
And when Captain Li persuaded the villagers and the rest of the rivers and lakes to leave, and arranged for the police to report to their superiors, and called the relevant department (in fact, the Tianji Department) according to the phone number we provided, the follow-up interrogation work was continued. .

Captain Li has great admiration for Ma Yi'ao, who solved the case while talking and laughing, and us, so he entrusted us to take full responsibility for the follow-up interrogation work.

Especially after learning that we are training teachers for relevant departments.

He thought we were the leaders of the Gongmen, but he didn't know that we were just temporary coaches and hadn't penetrated into the system.

It's obviously not our style to let things go halfway through, so Ma Yi'ao agreed to this matter, and after clearing the scene, he woke up Sha Tonghai again after his skills were broken and he was in a coma from the pain come over.

When Sha Tonghai woke up, the first thing he said was: "You can't open my demon refining ball, right?"

Ma Yi'ao smiled and said that I am not lying to you. I can indeed untie your demon refining ball and break the restriction, but it takes time to touch and grind slowly, just like unlocking a password The lock requires repeated attempts...

Hearing this, Sha Tonghai immediately let out a long sigh, knowing that he was cheated by Ma Yi'ao after all.

If he had calmed down a little bit, the current result may not be like this.

Too fast, too fast...

Of course, it was mainly because the details of Ma Yi'ao's "performance" at that time were too perfect, which gave him a feeling that the demon refining ball would be cracked at any time, and at that time, he didn't even have a chance to escape.

It was precisely because of this that he had to put all his eggs in one basket. He chose to escape when everyone's attention was not on him, and he might be able to escape.

After all, his true form is a black-scaled lizard. If we really let him enter the water and dive to the bottom of the reservoir, we may not be able to stop him.

This guy's schemes are intertwined, and they are actually quite powerful.

If we hadn't met us who happened to come to look for the puppy, maybe this matter would have been done by him.

And when we told him that this incident had been reported to the Tianji Department of the relevant department that deals with night walkers and practitioners, Sha Tonghai confessed to the crimes he committed, admitting that those who drowned were forcibly dragged away by him. into the reservoir and died.

And the so-called haunted rumors about the reservoir were also spread by him.

Of course, for the ignorant villagers, this matter only needs simple guidance, and there is no need for him to worry about the subsequent development. This kind of word of mouth will only become more and more mysterious in the future, completely divorced from reality .

As for him, he would fabricate an illusion of not being there, wait until he reappears at a critical moment, and finalize the conclusion.

Just like he did before.

It's a pity that this guy didn't succeed in the end, because he was so clever that the villagers went to worship other temples and invited other gods when they couldn't find him——in Sha Tonghai's plan Well, he actually knows all these people, even if he invites them over, there won't be too many changes.

However, he did not expect that the villagers would go to Jincheng and invite the Immortal Immortal from Jintian Temple.

At this point in the trial, the facts of the case are basically clear, but there is still one last doubt.

motive for committing the crime.

Why not let the villagers dig the reservoir and get the silt out?

Regarding this point, Sha Tonghai seemed to want to hide it, but under Ma Yi'ao's means, he didn't persist for long after all, and told the truth.

Under that mud, there was a sword.

A bronze sword that has been passed down for an unknown number of years, and two words are faintly engraved on the blade.

Thea.

The sword was firmly stuck on a rock at the bottom of the reservoir, and buried in a large swath of mud. This is a secret that only Sha Tonghai knows. He has tried countless times to pull out the sword, but All failed.

That sword was extremely powerful, and seemed to have its own consciousness. It had a strong repulsion to Sha Tonghai, who was born as a night walker. Every time he tried to pull it out, it was like being struck by thunder, and half his life was lost.

But the more so, the more unconvinced Sha Tonghai was.

He felt that he was able to discover this sword, it was definitely fate, he was destined to have that mysterious bronze sword, but it just needed some tests.

So in the eight years since he discovered the sword, he tried a total of 36 times and exhausted countless methods. Although every time he would hurt his muscles and bones, he never gave up.

In fact, he was able to persevere more and more each time, so he believed that in time, he would be able to conquer this sword.

But now the villagers don't know that the nerve is wrong, and they want to clean up the mud.

Once the mud is cleared, the bronze sword hidden in the stone and connected to the stone will appear in the world, and at that time, his secret that has been hidden for eight years will be made public.

This is something Sha Tonghai can't bear, so he will deliberately plan to murder people.

Before that, even though Sha Tonghai was a night walker, his hands had never been stained with blood.

obsession.

After hearing what Sha Tonghai said, I was a little moved.

Sometimes obsession really kills people.

And the bronze sword hidden in the stone also aroused my interest. This thing is very similar to the sword in the stone (The-Sword-in-the-Stone) of King Arthur in British legend. Among the stone layers at the bottom of the lake, it needs a specific person to pull out, full of power...

When Ma Yi'ao heard this, his eyes lit up.

I rarely saw him in such a state, so I asked in a low voice, "Why, have you heard of it?"

Ma Yi'ao looked around from the corner of his eye. Because the venue was cleared, apart from Captain Li and a few policemen, there were only three Taoists from Jintian Temple and the puppy left.

Even so, he lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "Have you heard of China's Ten Famous Swords?"

Because I was not in this industry before, I knew a lot of things. After racking my brains, I said: "Generals, Mo Xie, and fish intestines..."

I majored in science, and I'm really not very good at history and the like.

Ma Yi'ao nodded and said that you guessed it right. The so-called top ten famous swords refer to Xuanyuan, Zhanlu, Chixiao, Tai'a, Qixing Longyuan, Ganjiang, Moxie, Yuchang, Chunjun, and Chengying.The records of the top ten famous swords are mostly found in ancient books or ancient legends, such as "Historical Records", "Yuejueshu", "Liezi", "Wuyue Chunqiu", etc., all of which are recorded. Each sword has a corresponding allusion and legend. And the Tai'a sword this guy mentioned is very likely to be Tai'a among the top ten famous swords.

In order to prevent my understanding from being confused, Ma Yi'ao said while using a branch to draw on the ground for me.

I listened and was a little surprised, honestly?

Ma Yi'ao continued: "It is said that the Tai'a Sword was jointly forged by the two famous sword masters Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang in the Warring States Period. The craftsmen believe that this sword has already existed, but it is invisible and traceless, but the sword energy has already existed between heaven and earth. , just waiting for the opportunity to condense, when the weather, location, and people are united, this sword will be completed. This is a sword of the prestige of the princes, but it was finally cast in the relatively weak Chu State at that time, which triggered the most powerful state at that time. Dissatisfied with the powerful state of Jin, the state of Jin attacked Chu, and wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the state of Chu in the name of Suojian. The strength of the two sides was very different, and Chu was retreating steadily. Most of the cities fell, and the country was besieged for several years, and it was about to sink. At that time, the king of Chu held the Tai'a sword, thinking that the country would be subjugated, but unexpectedly, a mass of majestic sword energy shot out, flying sand and rocks outside the city, covering the sky and covering the sun, as if a beast roared inside, and the soldiers and horses of the state of Jin were in chaos. , the banners fell to the ground, blood was shed for thousands of miles, and the whole army was wiped out..."

Ma Yi'ao told me about Tai'a Jian's past, and after I finished listening, I couldn't help but say, "Is it fake?"

He laughed, saying that legends are legends after all, who can see them today?This sword finally fell into the hands of Qin Shihuang. "Historical Records · Li Si Lie Biography" records that "the jade that your majesty sent to Kunshan today is the treasure of easy-going, the pearl of the moon hanging down, and the sword of Tai'a". It is not known whether Xiang Yu's hand was buried with Qin Huang's mausoleum, so whether the sword under the mud of the reservoir is the legendary Tai'a sword or not, you have to go and see to find out.
