Listening to the words, listening to the gongs and drums, although Ji Hongru didn't say anything explicitly, everyone could hear what he was hinting at, and they all turned around in silence.
Chu Ge supported his forehead with his fist and remained calm. After Ji Hongru finished speaking, he suddenly said: "Junior brother, what do you think?"
Everyone was startled when they heard this. Chu Ge was clearly the envoy of Kunlun, so why did they ask Wei Qiyi what he meant? Is this just a casual statement, or is there another mystery behind it?
Wei Shiqi said slowly: "One thing after another happened. Where is Hou Jiangcheng's body?"
Han Chisong took out a storage bag from his waist and said, "I have put it in this bag."
"Let's take a look."
"Are you here?" Han Chisong hesitated.
"It doesn't matter, it's right here."
Han Chisong opened the storage bag as instructed and poured out Hou Jiangcheng's body. A stench spread everywhere. Everyone covered their mouths and noses and held their breath to take a closer look. The corpse was mutilated and unrecognizable. One eye rolled out of the eye socket. The muscles on the face were so ulcerated that it was difficult to distinguish the appearance. There were traces of monsters gnawing on the body and limbs. The abdominal cavity was torn open by sharp claws, and the internal organs were empty. .
Deng Yuantong carefully identified it for a moment and shook his head. Judging from the body shape, the corpse was quite similar to Hou Jiangcheng, but it was impossible to confirm his identity.
Wei Shiqi stepped forward, squatted next to the smelly corpse, reached out and pinched his jaw open. Sure enough, there were no teeth in his mouth, and his gums were black, red, swollen, and oozing pus. He took out a long and narrow dagger from his sleeve, cut open the gums one by one, and inspected the pulp and root. After a moment, he stood up and said, "This person is not Hou Jiangcheng."
Ji Hongru couldn't help but ask: "Why do you say this?"
"Hou Jiangcheng has a nickname called 'Toothless'. He was born with a strange phenomenon. He had a mouth full of white teeth when he was born. The person who pulled him up was a cripple who traveled around the world, and ruthlessly knocked out all his teeth. From then on, It never grew back. The teeth of this corpse were recently extracted, and the pulp and roots under the gums were injured and have not healed. It is obvious at a glance."
Everyone looked at each other, but no one could think of a rebuttal. They opened the gums and examined the pulp and roots. How could they expect this!
"Since he is not Hou Jiangcheng, then someone is trying to spread suspicion and leave this body behind, hoping that we will think Hou Jiangcheng is dead..." Wei Shiqi glanced at Chu Ge and stopped talking. He thought in his heart that if Hou Jiangcheng died at the hands of others, the murderer would most likely throw him into the abyss of hell and destroy his body. Now that he had faked a corpse, it was probably Hou Jiangcheng himself who was creating a mystery in order to alienate Luo Cheng. The relationship with the Hou Mansion... Could it be that for some reason, he stole the Seven Birds Sword and returned to Luo City to seek revenge...
Chu Ge knew that Hou Jiangcheng was a hidden pile buried by Qin Zijie in Xiandu. He had an accident when he evacuated Xianyun Peak and was missing. He immediately said: "Hou Jiangcheng is an outer disciple of Xiandu. His whereabouts will be left to Deng The head supervises the investigation, whether it is life or death, we must get to the bottom of it."
Deng Yuantong didn't know his intention, so he had no choice but to agree, thinking to himself, if you don't see people alive or dead, you won't find a needle in a haystack!
Han Chisong put the body into a storage bag and handed it to Deng Yuantong for his disposal.
Wei Shiqi said: "Let's put aside the matter of Hou Jiangcheng for the time being and leave it to be discussed in the future. Next is the cause of death of Qi Du of the Pingyuan Sect - where is Master Ji's residence?"
Ji Hongru took out a beast-controlling bag from his sleeve, and shook the mouth of the bag downward. Qi Luo rolled and fell to the ground. Her demon pill was imprisoned, and her hands and feet were tied behind her back with a golden rope. Her eyes looked fierce. Unable to move.
Wei Shiqi looked at her for a few times and said to Deng Yuan: "Master Deng, I can borrow Tianluo Vine and Black Heart Lotus for use."
The Tianluo Vine was collected from the miasma leaf forest, and the Black Heart Lotus came from the sea of rotten leaves. These two things can only be found but not sought. Ever since he lost the Seven Birds Sword, Deng Yuantong has been carrying it with him for fear of losing it. Now Wei Shiqi asked for these two medicinal materials. He didn't ask about the use. He took out a few canes with slender leaves and a little finger thickness, a lotus with thirteen petals and a heart like ink, and handed it over.
Wei Shiqi didn't use them all. He only picked a section of Tianluo vine and a lotus petal, and returned the rest to Deng Yuantong. He put the cane and lotus petals together in the palm of his hand and rubbed them into powder, then squeezed them into a fist, activated the elixir fire to force out the medicine, grabbed Qiluo's hair, raised his ugly and ferocious face, and raised His hand hit her between the eyebrows.
This is the technique mentioned in "Linchuan Miscellaneous Notes". Wei Shiqi tried it for the first time. The medicinal power of Tianluo Vine and Black Heart Lotus were integrated into one place, like a knife or a sword, piercing the depths of the skull.
The soul was shaken, like a wild horse that had lost control and was charging wildly. Qiluo opened his mouth and roared, the muscles on his face twitched, and he was in unbearable pain. Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering what Wei Shiqi was up to.
An obscure spell sounded between Wei Shiqi's lips. He slowly raised his palm, put his fingers together, and pulled out a changing black smoke from between Qi Luo's eyebrows. It gradually condensed into Qi Luo's appearance, with his lower body buried in his head. The upper body was twisted and struggling in agony.
"It's the Soul Searching Technique!" Ji Hongru's face changed slightly. He heard from his junior brother Qi Du that Qi Luo had been promoted to Demon General decades ago. The soul was pulled out from the skull, apparently using some kind of secret technique. The key to this was Tianluo Vine and Black Heart Lotus.
Wei Shiqi closed his eyes and traced Qi Luo's memories bit by bit. Countless broken pictures flashed before his eyes, most of which had no meaning.
But for him, soul searching was more formal than practical, and no one expected what he had in mind.
