The reason why the little Taoist nun said this was because in the dozens of nearby cities, there had been no corpse dismemberment cases in these cities.
So she speculated that Hua Pi Jing might choose a city that had never happened before.
We will not choose to continue to cause trouble in cities where cases have already occurred, to continue to arouse the anger of local ruling forces.
Because if there are too many corpse dismemberment cases in the same city, they cannot be solved.
Might drive the magistrate crazy!
Just like practitioners don't want to provoke the 'ideology' of the 'imperial court'.
These goblins are not willing to mess with them either.
They just want to silently eat human hearts to keep human skin alive, and then live in human cities like ordinary people.
And the inference that he committed another crime within two months.
It’s because a painted skin elf will probably need to eat one a year!
And not all painters will commit crimes in the city!
There are also some painters who go out of the city to hunt the bandits in the mountains.
However, this operation is actually relatively troublesome.
Because bandits are often outnumbered and many bandits are extraordinary martial arts masters.
It is actually relatively troublesome to kill.
Might cost more mana to kill!
And it’s quite troublesome to rush to the mountains.
Just using mana to rush is a waste of mana!
In short, the cost will be relatively large.
Therefore, most of the painted skin spirits hanging around in human cities will commit crimes directly in the city!
Moreover, he also likes young people.
It tastes bad when you get older.
In short, the Painted Skin Demon will directly hunt relatively young humans in the city.
Eat their hearts out!
Then destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces.
The mutilation of corpses is just a way of disguising the painted skin spirit after committing the crime!
Maybe some painters have better disguise methods.
It was always based on these little Taoist nuns that she came to the conclusion she just made.
"But it's also possible that Painted Skin Demon will choose a city where a case has occurred before to commit the crime!"
Xu Sheng questioned: "Maybe it feels that it is more familiar with the environment in the city where the crime was committed, so it is more comfortable?"
"Indeed. Everything is just my guess."
The little Taoist nun nodded calmly: "But what we can do now is to visit these cities. If we happen to encounter a painted-skin demon committing a crime near us, I can sense it with my magic power."
"Xiangu, why do I feel unreliable?"
Xu Sheng said speechlessly: "This is completely different from the life I imagined of conquering demons!"
Facts have proved that the little Taoist nun has no talent for investigating crimes!
"Fairies are very hidden in human cities! Those fairies who don't have super strength but are very arrogant and don't hide themselves or don't know how to hide themselves have long been dead! Either they were strangled by the army or they were collected and refined by human immortal cultivators. !”
But the little Taoist nun explained: "Conquering demons depends on a certain amount of luck. Otherwise, why would those practitioners walk around the world? You should have seen some monks and some old Taoist priests walking around in various cities. Right? They are just trying their luck!"
Xu Sheng opened his mouth wide.
But he was speechless.
Because what the little Taoist nun said makes sense.
indeed.
After all, this is a world very much like the world of Liaozhai.
In this world, humans are the rulers of this world.
Goblins can only hide themselves and live among human society!
It's strange that it's so easy to find.
In short, Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun did not regard themselves as detectives in the end.
The last thing they can do, as ridiculous as it sounds, is just try their luck!
"Then Fairy Girl, isn't it possible that those old monks and old Taoist priests who usually walk around in various cities and are covered with dust are all cultivators of immortality with magical powers?"
Xu Sheng asked again: "Should I be more careful when I see people like this in the future?"
"You should pay more attention!"
The little Taoist nun replied: "But not all such people are Taoist masters. Some people simply have no place to live, they just wander around, they just want to eat and be lazy, and they just go around asking for alms. There are also Taoist priests and monks in those temples. , not everyone has magic power, only a few people have magic power! Many monks and Taoist priests are actually just monks and Taoist priests."
"I see. By the way, Fairy Girl, why don't the rulers invite a few practitioners to sit in the yamen?"
Xu Sheng asked again: "Why didn't our Xu family notice the existence of practitioners before?"
“This is because practitioners don’t want to be tainted with cause and effect.”
The little Taoist nun said: "If you interfere too much in worldly affairs, it will not only consume our magic power, but also consume a lot of our mind! There are other reasons, but in short, it is not beneficial to practice!"
"Not everyone has a Sun Body like you by their side like me."
When she said the last sentence, her fair and pretty face turned slightly red.
"I see!"
Xu Sheng nodded: "No wonder the world is ruled by ordinary humans!"
The more he learned, the more Xu Sheng felt that it was really difficult for the immortal cultivators in the world he traveled to, which was similar to the Liaozhai world!
It's not that cool and awesome!
Although they are indeed very strong when they use their magic power!
But once the mana is used, it takes a lot of time to recover.
If he uses his magic power casually every day, unlike the little Taoist nun, he has Xu Sheng, a body of supreme yang, by his side who can absorb yang energy to replenish himself at any time.
It takes that long to recover after using up mana once.
What kind of immortality is this?
It’s no wonder that all the immortal cultivators say that they must stay away from cause and effect and live in seclusion to avoid the world!
It’s no wonder that ordinary people don’t know that there are fairies and practitioners.
Because often when these people pass by them, they don’t even notice it!
Just like Xu Sheng's first life and the twenty-seven years before his second life.
Although when he was on earth, Xu Sheng heard some people say that cultivating immortals is the evolution of the essence of life? But the kind of really awesome immortal cultivators should be in the world of high-level martial arts cultivators.
The Liaozhai world that Xu Sheng is in now is not a world with high combat power.
In fact, the immortal cultivators in this Liaozhai world can only be said to be Qi practitioners.
It's just that they call themselves immortal cultivators, which sounds more awesome.
Sometimes Xu Sheng is indeed a little shocked that the immortal cultivators in this world are so weak and difficult!
But that's because these immortal cultivators and goblins are not that strong.
That's why today's world is ruled by ordinary humans.
Xu Sheng felt that if there had ever been a Qigong practitioner or an immortal cultivator in the history of the earth.
Then they should be like the little Taoist nun and Chunyangzi.
They can't be as awesome as the immortal cultivators in some immortal cultivating novels on Earth who can "kill the planet with one sword".
If there were such strong immortal cultivators in history, the ruling structure of the entire world would actually be untenable.
In general, Xu Sheng felt that the world he traveled to should be an imaginary fantasy world similar to the ancient world.
This is what the immortal cultivators here are like!
Of course, Xu Sheng felt that there should be higher-level practitioners of the extraordinary world in this universe.
That world should be the 'theologically structured world of cultivating immortals' in his imagination.
Immortal cultivators are everywhere there.
They are not like the immortal cultivators in the Liaozhai world who need to become monks!
There the goblin dominates the mountain and is king.
They also don't need to hide themselves like the fairies in the fairy tale world.
But in this fairy tale world, practitioners basically have to become monks.
We must cut off love and avoid karma.
Fairies are hidden everywhere in the world!
If you were in Gao Wu's world of cultivating immortals.
Then there would be no such stories as the painted-skin spirit who lives hidden in human society, or the female ghost who sucks the yang energy of passing scholars in the mountain temple!
If cultivators from the advanced world of cultivating immortals appeared in the world where Xu Sheng is now, it would be indiscriminate killing.
Then the ruling structure of this world will collapse.
The whole world will be turned upside down.
Of course, even if the cultivators here are a bit weak!
But Xu Sheng has ten thousand lifetimes to fight back.
One day the ceiling will be broken.
One day he will be more awesome than the stereotyped immortal cultivators in many immortal novels on earth.
He will have eternal life!
In fact, this is also the ultimate goal that Xu Sheng pursues in his heart.
"Eternal life!" This is why Xu Sheng practices martial arts and why he wants to become an immortal.
Although he has ten thousand lifetimes, he can actually live for a long time.
But since he has such capital, he wants to turn ten thousand lives into eternal life!
When I think about it.
Xu Sheng thought that if he could successfully reincarnate in the next life, and before dying in this life, he could give birth to a child with spiritual roots.
Then when he cultivates immortality in his next life, will his physique still be that of the Supreme Yang?
His Supreme Yang Body allows the little Taoist nun to completely replenish her mana after using up her mana by simply sucking in a wave of yang energy.
So what will be the result if Xu Sheng waits for him to practice in the Zhiyang body in his next life?
Doesn't he have to suffer the pain that other immortal cultivators say has to take a long time to recover after their magic power is exhausted?
Xu Sheng immediately raised this question to the little Taoist nun.
"of course!"
The little Taoist nun said with certainty: "If the Zhiyang body has spiritual roots and comes to practice immortality, it will definitely be extraordinary! As long as it can improve the Taoism, it will definitely be a super powerful existence, and it will definitely kill people in the entire cultivation world!"
Xu Sheng's eyes lit up.
"But this kind of thing has never happened. There has never been such a person in history."
But the little Taoist nun added: "The body of the Supreme Sun has appeared before, but it has no spiritual roots. Those with spiritual roots are not the bodies of the Supreme Sun."
"Is that so?"
Xu Sheng asked: "Can't the two coexist?"
"of course not."
The little Taoist nun said: "The two should complement each other! It's just that such a person and such a talent must be so blessed by fate!"
"I understand. It's just that such a genius hasn't been born yet?"
Hearing this, Xu Sheng couldn't help but get a little excited and said: "Is it possible that one day such a genius of cultivating immortals will appear in my descendants?!"
If that's the case, wait until Xu Sheng's next reincarnation to cultivate immortality!
He is so awesome!
Because based on Xu Sheng’s understanding of the Book of Eternal Worlds, he should still be born with the body of the Supreme Yang in his next life.
By the time!
He cultivated immortality with his Yang body!
In the world of spiritual practice, which is similar to the world of Liaozhai, bugs exist like bugs.
"Maybe."
The little nun said: "But no one can say for sure about this kind of thing."
"I must give birth to children with spiritual roots in this life. I want to give birth to a hundred children with spiritual roots!"
Xu Sheng roared in his heart: "No, one hundred is not enough. If possible, let's give birth to two hundred. This may be safer!"
Of course Xu Sheng was thinking about this.
But he couldn't accomplish this by himself without the help of the little Taoist nun.
Moreover, the little Taoist nun saved his life, so she must repay the favor seriously.
Therefore, Xu Sheng put aside his own goals and decided to concentrate on helping the little Taoist nun complete her affairs.
Fast forward two months later.
In the past two months, Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun have traveled around various cities.
I want to try my luck to find the painting artist.
But until two months passed, they still couldn't find the painter.
The little Taoist nun didn't sense any other fairies.
It can be said that nothing was gained.
In the past three months, Xu Sheng and the two of them have been eating delicious food and admiring the scenery everywhere.
It’s like traveling!
One day two months later.
Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun were not in the mood to play anymore.
Because as expected, that skin-painting artist committed another crime!
Just the city next door to the city they stayed in a few days ago!
As the little Taoist nun expected, this painting spirit would commit a crime about once every six months.
But this time Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun were not very lucky!
Didn't meet any painting artist.
At that time, Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun lived in an inn in the city next door.
It is more than a kilometer away from the crime scene.
So the little Taoist nun didn't feel it at all.
Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun rushed over immediately that day.
But it's a pity that Hua Pi Jing's methods of committing crimes are very clever, and the Yamen over there can't find anything at all.
And those in the yamen who had been police officers for decades didn't find anything.
Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun had no way of finding out.
Although Xu Sheng is a time traveler, the little Taoist nun is a cultivator of immortality.
But Xu Sheng didn't have the ability to solve the case.
The little Taoist nun's magic power cannot directly find the painting spirit based on his breath.
The immortal cultivators in the Liaozhai world are not that powerful.
Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun were both a little disappointed about this.
But there is no other way, in this Liaozhai world where humans rule the world.
Goblins who can live in human cities for a long time without being discovered are very smart.
Especially the method of hiding oneself is even more clever!
The little Taoist nun also said that if you want to meet a demon, it depends on your luck. Now they are specifically looking for it, but sometimes they just can’t find it. But sometimes, it happens suddenly.
This is also the so-called 'fate'!
To cultivate Taoism, you need to talk about fate, and to catch monsters, you also need to talk about fate!
Therefore, Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun could only continue to travel between cities to try their luck.
During this time, Xu Sheng took the little Taoist nun to eat all kinds of local delicacies.
Of course, the little Taoist nun only tasted every kind of delicacy.
She doesn't eat much.
Until this day three months later.
This day is the Lantern Festival.
night.
The city is decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and the roads are full of vendors.
There are all kinds of snacks, accessories, lantern riddles and so on.
People were coming and going, and it was very lively.
Xu Sheng and the little Taoist nun also came to participate in the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival.
