The moment he fell to the ground, Li Mu got up from the ground and hurriedly asked, "Where are the Metal Element Body and the Water Element Body?"
Liu Hanyan handed the two files to him and said, "Here, take a look."
Li Mu grabbed the files and looked at them.
"Zhang Dafu, who is Zhang Dafu? It sounds familiar …"
"Landlord Zhang!"
A voice exploded in Li Mu's mind. The case of the Zhang Family Village instantly appeared in his mind.
At that time, after Landlord Zhang's father died, he happened to be buried in a corpse breeding ground. Within a month, he turned into a zombie and bit Landlord Zhang to death. The villagers of the Zhang Family Village reported it to the county government.
That zombie was later killed by Han Zhe. The case of the Zhang Family Village was closed and no one paid attention to it anymore.
But how could Landlord Zhang have the Metal Element Body?
Li Mu looked at Landlord Zhang's Eight Characters and calculated with his fingers. His face was a little pale.
Liu Hanyan was right. Landlord Zhang did have the Metal Element Body.
Li Mu also remembered that the villagers of the Zhang Family Village once said that Landlord Zhang was chosen by a Taoist priest when he was young and studied Taoist magic in the Taoist temple for two years. This must be because he had the Metal Element Body.
If a person with a Five Elements Body like this died mysteriously, the county government would definitely investigate the possibility that it was caused by a Heretic Practitioner or a demon ghost.
However, Landlord Zhang was bitten to death by his father who turned into a zombie. The habit of zombies was to bite their blood first. It was reasonable for him to bite Landlord Zhang to death, and it was also in line with the law of heaven.
In this way, there was no doubt about Landlord Zhang's death. He was killed by his relatives who had turned into a zombie and lost their humanity. No one would be bored enough to calculate his Eight Characters again.
Someone was deliberately covering up the fact that Landlord Zhang possessed the Metal Element Constitution. He was deliberately diverting the attention of Li Mu and the others!
If Li Mu's guess was true, then the death of the Older Landlord Zhang and his transformation into a zombie was not an accident!
Someone had orchestrated all of this behind the scenes. He had created the appearance of Landlord Zhang being killed by his own father. His true goal, from start to finish, was Landlord Zhang's soul!
"And Wang Xiaohui …"
Li Mu looked at the second file. After some calculations, he found that Wang Xiaohui did indeed have a Water Element Body, but her cause of death was illness. The reason why the yamen did not investigate in detail was because …
It was because after her death, her soul found Li Mu and Li Qing and asked them to help her hand her child to her brother.
Wang Xiaohui was a member of the Zhang-wang Clan.
She was the first Yin spirit that Li Mu had encountered since he came to this world.
At this point, the Five Elements Constitution was complete. In addition to Li Mu's soul, he already had six out of the seven Yin Yang Five Elements. He only lacked pure Yin. In a short period of time, so many people with special constitutions had died in Yangqiu County, but the yamen did not discover anything. It seemed inconceivable, but if one thought about it carefully, everything made sense.
Zhao Yong and Ren Yuan's deaths were requested by the Zhang County Magistrates. The County Magistrate had stamped his seal and dragged them to the market to be beheaded. Who would suspect that there was a problem?
Landlord Zhang's death was caused by his zombified father. Similarly, no one would suspect anything.
Wu Bo's death was even more obvious. He died in Zhou County by accident at the hands of the Flying Stiff that had just evolved. No one would suspect that his death was related to Zhao Yong, Ren Yuan, and Landlord Zhang.
The Zhang-wang Clan's death was caused by illness. Li Mu and Li Qing had personally taken care of her funeral. Her own Yin spirit did not complain, so the yamen naturally did not investigate.
…
Li Mu felt a chill run down his spine. Although there were still a few mysteries in his heart that had not been solved, there was no doubt that these cases, although seemingly unrelated, were inextricably linked behind the scenes.
Someone had used a few months, or even longer, to set up a huge trap in Yangqiu County.
Without attracting anyone's attention, he had collected the souls of the Yin Yang Five Elements and set up this trap, trapping all of them together.
Even the yamen had become a tool for him to collect the souls.
As for his ultimate goal, it was clearly stated in the "Supernatural Records".
He was a powerful cultivator in the sixth realm of Dongxuan.
He wanted to ascend to the Transcendence State.
In the past few months, all the cases that Li Mu had experienced, big and small, were all stirred up by a pair of invisible hands behind the scenes.
What made him even more terrified was that if the death of the original body was part of this plan, then after Li Mu was reincarnated in another body, wouldn't the mastermind have been watching him all this time?
As he thought of this, a chill ran up Li Mu's spine, making him feel a little dizzy. His body swayed, and he had to hold onto the table to steady himself.
Liu Hanyan looked at him worriedly and said nervously, "Li Mu, are you okay? What happened? Don't scare me …"
If Li Mu told her what had happened, it would be a real shock. However, Liu Hanyan did not give up and said firmly, "No matter what happened, we'll bear it together …"
Li Mu sighed helplessly, opened the "Supernatural Records", and pointed to the content on that page.
Liu Hanyan was smart. After seeing the description of the Yin Yang Five Elements body and thinking of what she had just calculated, her face suddenly turned pale.
She grabbed Li Mu's sleeve and said nervously, "This, this could be a coincidence. Didn't you say that you still want the pure Yin and pure Yang bodies … Ah, you lost your seven souls too …"
Li Mu sighed and said, "I'm afraid that he only lacks the pure Yin body."
"Could it be a coincidence …" Liu Hanyan still couldn't believe it. She muttered, "The book said that other than the Yin Yang Five Elements souls, you also need a large number of souls from living people. How could thousands of people die? The government won't …"
As she spoke, her voice suddenly stopped. The two of them looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with shock. They blurted out, "Zhou County!"
The number of people who died because of the zombie disaster in Zhou County was already in the thousands. If their souls were taken away, it would fulfill the last requirement of the method.
Thinking of how those living corpses didn't have any courage, and how the Flying Stiff abandoned Li Mu and the others twice, it seemed to have decided on Wu Bo. One of the doubts in Li Mu's heart was solved.
At that time, what the person behind the scenes wanted was probably the soul of Wu Bo, who had the Earth Elemental Body.
In this way, the only suspicious point about Wu Bo's death could be explained.
Liu Hanyan's whole body was cold. She grabbed Li Mu's hand and said in a trembling voice, "Li Mu, I, I'm a little scared …"
Not to mention Liu Hanyan, even Li Mu was very scared. However, he could only hold her hand tightly and comfort her, "It's okay. No one knows your birth characters. You'll be fine …"
Li Qing said that even if a cultivator didn't know their birth characters, they couldn't see through other people's constitutions at a glance.
If these people with special constitutions could be found so easily, F Lu School wouldn't have gone through so much trouble to ask the local government for help.
This was also the biggest mystery in Li Mu's heart.
Apart from Wu Bo, how did the person behind the scenes know that these people had special constitutions? Could it be that the strong people in Dongxuan had the ability to predict other people's birth characters?
The sound of two footsteps came from the door of the duty room.
Li Qing and Han Zhe stood at the door and saw Li Mu and Liu Hanyan holding hands.
Han Zhe was stunned for a moment. He immediately turned around and said, "Sorry to disturb you."
Li Qing's gaze swept over the two of them. Her expression didn't change. She silently turned around and left.
Han Zhe turned around and hummed a little tune. He asked Li Mu, "You really chose Lady Liu?"
Li Mu wasn't in the mood to answer him. He slowly walked out of the duty room and looked up at the sky.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky, but it couldn't give Li Mu any warmth.
The other people in the county office didn't know what had happened. Zhang Shan and Li Si walked out of the duty room and chatted happily. Han Zhe looked at Li Mu and then looked at Liu Hanyan, who was still holding hands with him. His face lit up …
Seeing Zhang Shan and Li Si come out, Uncle Ma walked up and asked anxiously, "How was it? Did you find anything?"
Zhang Shan said, "We found a pure Yin body, and it's a girl."
"Where?!" Elder Ma's face lit up with joy as he immediately asked.
Pure Yin and Pure Yang bodies were much more precious than Five Elements bodies. As long as he found a pure Yin body, his mission would be complete.
Zhang Shan shook his head. "What a pity …"
Elder Ma's heart thumped. He asked, "What's a pity?"
Zhang Shan shook his head and said, "Three months ago, she died prematurely …"
