Seeing Li Xiaocong in the room, Mr. Xu was stunned.
However, compared to Li Xiaocong's sudden death, what surprised Mr. Xu even more was the way Li Xiaocong died.
Because, whether it was the weird smile or the scalp-numbing way of death, they were exactly the same as what he had seen in the photos before.
What surprised Mr. Xu even more was that there was no blood at all in the whole room, as if Li Xiaocong had been drained of all the blood from his body before he died.
Mr. Xu felt a dull feeling in his heart, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Chen Liansheng on the side only thought that Mr. Xu was a little scared of such a scene, so he quickly stepped forward to support Mr. Xu and asked softly: "Second Master, are you okay?"
Mr. Xu shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I'm fine!"
After Xu Erye finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Li Xiaocong, who was sitting in the middle of the room. A pair of sharp eyes like an eagle stared at the extremely weird smile on this guy's face.
After a while, Mr. Xu slowly took out his cell phone from his pocket, quickly edited a text message and sent it.
After sending the text message, Mr. Xu frowned and said to Chen Liansheng: "Liansheng, go find some brothers to take care of Li Xiaocong's funeral, and then prepare 500,000 yuan for funeral expenses to send to his family. After all, it's Our brother in Yiyuanzhai, if his family needs anything in the future, please remember to help the market."
If as usual, Chen Liansheng would have been listening respectfully to Mr. Xu's words, but at this moment, Chen Liansheng didn't even look at Mr. Xu, but stared straight at Li Xiaocong's slightly raised mouth.
Mr. Xu said loudly and unhappily: "Lian Sheng, are you listening to me?"
Only then did Chen Liansheng come back to his senses, looked at Second Master Xu, then pointed at Li Xiaocong's half-open mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Second Master, there seems to be something in Xiaocong's mouth?"
Mr. Xu was stunned when he heard this and said, "What? Is there something in his mouth?"
Chen Liansheng nodded and said, "Yes! Look!"
As he spoke, Chen Liansheng squatted down and put his index finger and thumb into Li Xiaocong's mouth. After digging around for a while, he actually took out a small piece of porcelain that was not too big and had a milky white color overall.
Chen Liansheng handed the piece of porcelain to Second Master Xu and said in a deep voice: "Second Master, look! This piece of porcelain seems to have come from the same place as the one found in Ba Shou Liu's coffin."
Mr. Xu took the piece of porcelain handed over by Chen Liansheng and looked at it in front of his eyes. Then, he took out another palm-sized piece of porcelain that had been in his pocket, and tried to put the two pieces together. Sure enough, the two broken pieces of porcelain could really be put together. .
But at this moment, Li Xiaocong, who was sitting upright in the middle of the room, suddenly began to tremble all over.
Li Xiaocong's move didn't matter, but it really frightened Xu Erye and Chen Liansheng. They both screamed and took several steps back at almost the same time.
But at this moment, Li Xiaocong's whole body was twitching as if there was an electric shock, and large streams of white smoke kept coming out of Li Xiaocong's eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and skin pores.
Chen Liansheng shouted in surprise when he saw this: "What...what is going on?"
Before Chen Liansheng could finish his words, Li Xiaocong's skin began to undergo drastic changes.
His skin went from being as pale as paper to turning gray and yellow little by little, and after a few seconds it turned into a disgusting dark brown.
Chen Liansheng almost dropped his jaw when he saw the scene in front of him. He held on to the wall and said tremblingly: "Second Master, this... what is going on? Xiao Cong... How did Xiao Cong become like this? What does it look like?”
Mr. Xu was also shocked by the scene in front of him. It took him a long time to stabilize his mind. He gritted his teeth and whispered: "I don't know! This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a situation!"
Chen Liansheng swallowed his saliva and said: "Could it be that Xiao Cong feels that his death was unjust and his resentment has condensed, so that's why he is like this? Second Master, do you need us to find a Taoist priest to perform a ritual ceremony?"
As Chen Liansheng spoke, he walked slowly to Li Xiaocong's side and gently touched Li Xiaocong's dark brown body with his hand.
But this touch didn't matter. Li Xiaocong's body, which was sitting upright, suddenly swayed, and then with a "crash", Li Xiaocong's whole body turned into countless fine sand and scattered to the ground.
It looked as if what Chen Liansheng had just touched was not Li Xiaocong himself, but a pile of humanoid sand sculptures made of sand.
Chen Liansheng was shocked and hurriedly took a few steps back, stammering: "Second Master...Second Master...what is going on? Why did Li Xiaocong suddenly turn into sand?"
Mr. Xu was naturally extremely surprised when he saw such a change. However, in this old world, Mr. Xu quickly stabilized his mind and said in surprise: "Sand? Could it be that Ba Shou Liu and the others, like Li Xiaocong, did not disappear, but were just fine like this? turned into a pair of sand?"
With this in his mind, Mr. Xu strode forward, squatted in front of the pile of sand that Li Xiaocong had transformed into, and twisted a handful of dark brown sand with his thumb, index finger and ring finger. The sand was very hot and even a little scalding. , Mr. Xu tried several times before he reluctantly put the small piece of sand at the tip of his nose and smelled it. Sure enough, a strong fishy smell mixed with the smell of some Chinese medicine penetrated into the nasal cavity.
Mr. Xu secretly thought: "It's true! But who did it? If these people want to kill people from all the eight sects, it's quite understandable, but Li Xiaocong is an ordinary person like him. People, why are they going to such a big fight? Doesn’t it mean that Li Xiaocong himself has some special background? "
Thinking of this, Mr. Xu looked back at Chen Liansheng, who was about to vomit, and asked: "Liansheng, who recruited this Li Xiaocong into Yiyuan Zhai?"
Chen Liansheng thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, Uncle Hu should have brought it back personally when he went to the south three months ago."
After hearing this, Mr. Xu frowned and said to himself: "Boss Hu brought him back three months ago? This child's ability is not very outstanding. Why does Boss Hu, who always pays attention to ability, only bring him here?" return?"
As he spoke, Mr. Xu looked at the two broken porcelain pieces in his hand and murmured: "The time Mr. Hu went to fight in the mountains was in a place called Songtaoshan in Guizhou. There was something wrong with that place. ? Or is there something wrong with this person?"
And just when Mr. Xu was lost in thought, a thumb-sized, dark-brown, translucent insect with an appearance similar to a cockroach suddenly flew out of the pile of sand and headed towards Mr. Xu in front of him. Rushed over.
At this time, Mr. Xu didn't notice the existence of the little flying insect at all. Just when the guy was about to fly in front of Mr. Xu, Chen Liansheng next to him gave him a fierce push.
Mr. Xu couldn't stand firmly and sat on the ground with a "pop", while the translucent little flying insect flew past Mr. Xu's ear.
Mr. Xu felt his ears itching first, and then a heartbreaking pain spread throughout his body in an instant.
Second Master Xu yelled and immediately wanted to cover his ears with his hands, but as soon as he raised his hand, Chen Liansheng beside him shouted: "Second Master, no!"
Mr. Xu was stunned when he heard this, and then he saw Chen Liansheng rush forward and take out a small knife from his pocket.
Mr. Xu was shocked, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Serial victory, what are you going to do?"
Chen Liansheng did not speak, but frowned, held the handle of the knife behind his back, rushed in front of Mr. Xu, raised the knife, and cut off Mr. Xu's injured ear with one blow.
Mr. Xu howled in pain, and blood immediately splattered everywhere. But when Mr. Xu covered the wound on his ear with his hand, he found that for some reason there were many sand-like particles.
Mr. Xu was shocked and hurriedly looked at the ground, only to find that the ears that had been cut off had turned into a pile of dark brown sand at some point.
"What a risk!" Xu Erye gritted his teeth and secretly rejoiced in his heart: "Fortunately, Lian Sheng responded quickly, otherwise..."
Xu Erye thought as he turned back to look for Chen Liansheng, who had just saved him, but when he turned around, he saw a dark brown sand sculpture.
And that sand sculpture looked like none other than Chen Liansheng, who had just saved him.
——————————
Sand, sand again.
However, this time the sand was not dark brown, but glowing fluorescent red.
The fine sand suddenly stopped when it was about to flood our chests, but we had no intention of rejoicing, because Xiong Ming's hand that was originally against the mechanism had been pushed back little by little.
In desperation, Xiong Ming let go of the dragon-elephant-golden rat. His arms struggled with strength, and his veins popped out. He used all his strength to press against the mechanism on the stone wall, but to no avail. With "click, click" "The sound came, and the mechanism on the stone wall was still moving back little by little. The dozens of steel arrows seemed to be only the last step away from killing us.
Seeing that the dragon-elephant-golden rat was free again, it first burrowed twice in the sand, and then jumped up to Xiong Ming. It stuck out its butt and actually pulled a fresh lump in front of Xiong Ming. The angry Xiong Ming couldn't help but curse.
But the dragon-elephant-golden rat didn't care about Xiong Ming's harsh words. After finishing its flight, it slipped into the sand and disappeared in a short while.
Only Xiong Ming was left, who kept cursing for a while. After a while, Xiong Ming got tired of scolding, and gritted his teeth and shouted at me: "Hu Tian, come and help! Don't look where the hell you are. It’s so exciting! If you continue like this, you’ll be shot into a hedgehog before you even feed the worms!”
I didn't dare to delay after hearing this. Just when I was about to move my body in the sand to help, I suddenly heard Hua Muling shouting: "Be careful, there is something in the sand!"
But just before Hua Muling finished her words, I suddenly felt something suddenly entangled under my feet. The thing was slippery, covered with mucus, and cold. It felt like a snake, but it was not a snake.
