Arrester Little Su's temperament suddenly changed. The Exterior zombie suddenly went crazy and attacked its master. Yao Xingliu, Xiao Yue, and Li Chong were stunned by this series of changes.
"What happened?"
"How could this be?"
Why did the Exterior-level zombie suddenly stop its attack and attack the zombie-herder as if it had gone mad? Why did it turn against the zombie herder?
"Is it related to Arrester Little Su's change in temperament?"
"Everything happened so suddenly, strangely, and unimaginably. It even exceeded Mengqi's own expectations, so everyone was silent.
Near the yard, dark clouds were stirred. The bright moon came out of the fence and shone on the ground, deep and quiet.
"He's really the Swordsman of Ning Province …" Mengqi calmed down the spiritual fluctuations brought by the Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth and sighed in his heart.
Even if the Swordsman of Ning Province turned into a half-human, half-ghost zombie, and his memory was erased, there were only fragments left in the depths of his soul, which caused his lack of intelligence and spiritual flaws. Thus, Meng Qi's Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth easily awakened his memory fragments. However, he was an authentic Exterior master. His heart was like a rock and his spirit like the sea. Now, he had some natural protection. Just like a broken ship still had three pounds of nails, his spirit backfired and caused a certain degree of backfire, making it difficult for Meng Qi to calm down and make him dizzy.
If it weren't for the special situation, it would have been impossible for any normal Exterior master, Half-step, or even a master of Eight or Nine Apertures with a strong mind to succeed with the Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth.
Out of the corner of his eye, Mengqi saw the expressions of Yao Xingliu, Xiao Yue, and the others. He took a light breath and sighed. "How can an enlightened Apertures master control a Zombie made by an Exterior master? No wonder he died from the backfire. "
He blamed the Swordsman of Ning Province on the meat patty, no, the meat patty. Anyway, there was no proof, and this was part of the real situation. It was Mengqi's heartfelt words. If the zombie herder was not willing to drive the Swordsman of Ning Province for fear of the backfire, he would not have to knock on the door and observe the situation before doing it himself.
"Maybe it was specially given to me to complete this task. I can't control it at all, just like how the Swordsman of Ning Province took the initiative to save me …" Meng Qi's doubts were somewhat resolved. He looked at the other zombie beside him and slashed with Heaven Inflicted Pain. Streaks of electric snakes jumped and cut the zombie that couldn't dodge in time.
The body of the zombie that had its tongue dangling from its throat was emitting lightning. Black gas rose from its body, and the evil feeling quickly faded away. It returned to its original state and turned back into an ordinary corpse. It fell to the ground with a thud.
"This is a Life-changing Sect disciple. "Yao Xingliu came back to his senses and finally remembered the origin of the zombie herder's kung fu." He practiced the 'Divine Corpse Skill', not the core. "
The 'Divine Corpse Skill' was not a fundamental skill of the Life-changing Sect, so Yao Xingliu did not think of it before.
"Of course I know he's a Life-changing Sect disciple …" Mengqi thought proudly. He looked at the pit that occupied half of the yard and saw a pool of meat patty mixed with blood and clothes. The Moving Mountain Seal and corpse exorcism stick had all turned into powder. There was no way to find any clues.
Originally, Meng Qi had wanted to take the lead and ask the corpse driver about Old Zhong's true origins. But now, looking at the current situation, he could only sigh helplessly. The trail had been cut off. Blood Mud could not speak …
Did Old Zhong have a grudge against the Life-changing Sect, or did the 'Kung Fu of Heaven and Demon' come from one of the more mysterious Nine Evil Paths?
He had the ability to drive and manipulate corpses, so it was very likely that he came from the Life-changing Sect. Of course, this might not have anything to do with the origin of the 'Kung Fu of Heaven and Demon'.
Thinking of this, Mengqi smiled again and walked to Xiao Yue. "Mrs. Xiao, you said you had an old relationship with Old Zhong and that you left something here. Could you tell me more about it?"
Xiao Yue looked at arrester Little Su who was smiling as if he was harmless. She thought of his God-like temperament and the way he defeated her and the zombie herder. Her heart trembled and she found it difficult to breathe.
After struggling and hesitating for a moment, she said in a low voice, "I used to be a top courtesan in a brothel. I didn't know any powerful kung fu except for the sword dance that pleased others. But then I met Old Zhong. He liked me very much and took me out of my misery, taught me powerful kung fu, and secretly helped me become one of the Yangxia tyrants."
When talking about the past, her face unconsciously became gentle.
"A few years ago, he said he was going to start practicing a Divine Kung Fu. With it, he could quickly recover from the internal injuries that had damaged his foundation and break through the limit in two or three years. He would open the Hidden Latch of Life and Death and take an important step forward. He could also restore his youth and prolong his life …"
Mengqi knew the answer, but he still asked, "Is it a kung fu that erodes the flesh, bones, and meridians?"
This was in line with one of his speculations. Old Zhong had only started practicing the 'Kung Fu of Heaven and Demon' a few years ago. Maybe he had just broken through to the Half-step Exterior Scenery. As for Knife Scar's fear, it was because he was weak in the past and couldn't see through Old Zhong's strength. When he opened his Nine Apertures, Old Zhong was infinitely close to the Half-step Exterior Scenery. With the possible 'traps' hidden in the kung fu and the loopholes in his heart, he was naturally played by Old Zhong.
Unexpectedly, Old Zhong had not made any progress for many years because of the internal injuries and the destruction of his foundation.
"Yes." Xiao Yue's face became gloomy. "He was fine in the first year, but his temperament gradually changed. He became more and more violent, gloomy, and terrible. He no longer loved me as he used to. I had no choice but to find a Deacon of Zhen Wu Sect and fell out with him. I haven't been here for nearly two years. Who knew that something like this would happen?"
Yao Xingliu curled his lips and showed a look of disdain to the Deacon.
Mengqi nodded slightly. In the secret files of Six Fan School, Xiao Yue's Kung Fu had improved by leaps and bounds because of a fortuitous encounter. This explanation made more sense. "Then what are you looking for?"
Xiao Yue pursed her lips. The situation was stronger than the person. Even the zombies of the Exterior would suddenly go crazy. What was she?
"Qianyuan Composing Bead …" She gently spat out the name and then explained, "When Old Zhong was still normal, I had a fortuitous encounter near Yangxia. I got a good practice method of sword dancing and a Qianyuan Composing Bead. It can protect the soul, prevent evil spirits from disturbing the mind, and prevent some Qi-deviancy Derangement. After that, my Kung Fu improved by leaps and bounds."
"When Old Zhong began to practice that Divine Skill, he asked for the Qianyuan Composing Bead from me. He said that the Divine Skill was dangerous and could easily lead to Qi-deviancy Derangement, so he had to treat it with caution."
"It seemed that she had a fortuitous encounter. The records of Six Fan School were indeed not groundless. There must be a reason …" Mengqi nodded and asked doubtfully, "Old Zhong left calmly and took everything away. Why do you think the Qianyuan Composing Bead is still here?"
"He said he would return it to me …" Xiao Yue muttered to herself absentmindedly. Her expression became gentle again. "And when I examined the body, I felt the subtle connection between me and the Qianyuan Composing Bead."
"In one of the bodies?" Mengqi was quite stunned. He did not expect that there was a bead hidden in the body!
There were many bodies, so they only focused on some of them and only looked at the rest slightly. They left it to the coroner of Six Fan School and the arrester of the yamen in the county capital who was good at this field to deal with it. They actually ignored many clues!
And this was also the reason why Mengqi did not oppose Zheng Jushan's order and stayed to keep watch at night. He wanted to examine it carefully!
Xiao Yue was stunned and answered with a bitter smile, "Yes."
She turned around and walked into the house. Mengqi and Yao Xingliu followed her on both sides. Li Chong did not expect that there would be new clues. He cursed in his heart and dared not to stay in the yard alone, so he also entered the "Forest of Corpses".
Xiao Yue had a clear goal. She walked to a body in the middle at the back and said in a faint voice, "It's in his stomach. I found it before. But Mr. Cui is here, so I can only come again at night."
If Mengqi was just an ordinary arrester, and if Yao Xingliu broke in and insisted on examining the body, she could have taken away the bead without anyone knowing.
While speaking, Xiao Yue's face showed a smile that seemed to be happy but also annoyed. She stretched out her right hand and wrapped it with genuine Qi. She cut open the body and reached into the stomach.
The stench overflowed. She stretched out her slender hand and there was a red bead in her palm. It was warm and did not smell blood, but looked calm.
"This is the Qianyuan Composing Bead …" Xiao Yue turned around and said.
Mengqi did not want to be greedy. When he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a strange smile on the face of the corpse behind Xiao Yue!
The corpse was a man in his thirties. He had slightly ugly facial features and a pale face. There was a tuft of black hair on the surface of his body. No one knew how long he had been dead.
However, a corpse like this actually had the corners of its mouth curled up into a strange smile!
"Be careful!" Mengqi warned while waving "Heaven Inflicted Pain".
The corpse suddenly stretched out two chicken claw-like hands and pinched Xiao Yue's shoulders.
Xiao Yue trembled all over. Her body suddenly twisted and disintegrated, turning into blood and flesh that flowed into the corpse!
With Xiao Yue in his hand, the corpse suddenly leaped high, avoiding the "Heaven Inflicted Pain" and breaking through the roof.
He brought with him a room full of black gas. It was evil and filthy, so Mengqi could only defend himself for a moment. If he used the power of his Precious Weapon, he could still forcefully cut through the black gas and catch up with the corpse. But Li Chong behind him would definitely die.
"Half-step Exterior Scenery!"
"Kung Fu of Heaven and Demon!"
"Is this Old Zhong?"
Old Zhong corroded and absorbed Xiao Yue and swaggered away. Only a whisper reverberated like a dream.
"This time, we'll never be separated again …"
"Heaven Inflicted Pain" flashed with thunder and extinguished the black gas. Mengqi was dumbfounded and could not believe his ears.
Old Zhong had plenty of time. He had cleaned up everything so that Meng Qi would not return. But in the end, he pretended to be a corpse and hung himself on the beam, risking being discovered by an Exterior master!
And the reason he stayed was to devour Xiao Yue?
"But, but if he really wanted to achieve this goal, with his strength, he could easily assassinate Xiao Yue 800 times in Yangxia City. Why did he have to do this?"
"It's simply illogical!" "It's so confusing!"
Mengqi thought of his wrong judgment and could not accept it for a moment.
But he soon felt relieved. He had learned a lesson. People who practiced Kung Fu of Heaven and Demon changed their temperament. They became extreme and narrow-minded, close to lunatics. They could not be judged by common sense, just like Gu Xiaosang, who was mentally ill. He could not rely on normal logic when facing them in the future.
