A beautiful lady dressed as a devil

Chapter 16 Bruises

On the tenth day after two Jiuhua disciples were murdered one after another, the investigation finally made a breakthrough.

In order to prevent the killing of any more incompetent outer disciples, Jiang Shuo sat down with the elders of each hall for half a day, then decided to put aside other affairs and send the inner disciples of each hall to patrol after dark.

And when watching the night, he wears teleportation talismans and sound transmission talismans that can be used in time, as well as various magic tools specially designed to suppress magic cultivation.

And in the middle of the night when everyone was on high alert, the exciting news finally came—Moxiu was caught!

When Jiang Shuo rushed over, he happened to see a man standing in the middle of the crowd clutching his waist and abdomen wounds, and a bell-shaped magic weapon in the hand of the elder of the punishment hall, which made continuous violent impact sounds, like a crazy trapped animal .

Jiang Shuo was surprised: "Yu Pu?"

When Yu Pu saw him, he grinned, with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Master...you are here too."

"You don't seem to be watching the night tonight." Jiang Shuo walked over and took a look at his wound. The wound was on the side of his abdomen. The wound was not deep, but even though Yu Pu subconsciously covered it with his hands, he couldn't hide the flesh and blood there. Blurred, as if being scratched several times by sharp claws.

"It's okay." Yu Pu's face was pale, but he was in good spirits, "I have nothing to do tonight. I was worried about my brothers and sisters, so I came to watch the night too, but I happened to run into him."

While speaking, he glanced at the thing trapped in the magic weapon, and added: "According to my disciple's humble opinion, it seems that it can't be condensed into a human form, so it can only be called a 'monster'. But even so, the magic power is really powerful. "

Jiang Shuo asked the disciples of Siyaotang to take Yu Pu to heal his injuries first, and then everyone came to the punishment hall together.

There is no other, but it is because the defensive magic circle of the punishment hall is the most powerful and stable, and the magic tools used to torture people are more complete.

The elder of the punishment hall was very steady. He first set up a solid transparent magic circle with a few big disciples, then put the soul-binding clock that trapped the monsters into it, and finally pasted dozens of spells on the outer layer, and then recited the formula. Open the Soulbound Clock.

As soon as the monster Bu was released, everyone in front took half a step back.

...This thing is really ugly.

As if it had sucked the blood of others, the monster had condensed into a semi-solid state, a gray mass, rolling in the magic circle like fog, and showing its true face from time to time, grinning at the crowd to demonstrate.

This monster... has teeth all over its body.

The jagged, yellowish, sharp, red meat-strewn teeth are all over the semi-entity covered by the gray mist, and everyone who sees it feels nauseated.

It hasn't cultivated the ability to speak yet, so it can only express its anger by hitting the wall of the magic circle again and again.Everyone watched for a while, and the elder of the punishment hall ordered someone to go to the backyard to catch a rabbit.

A disciple was ordered to catch a white and fat male rabbit, and threw it into the magic circle according to the instructions.The provoked monster was furious, and before Jiang Shuo could react, he saw that the poor rabbit had already died, and died suddenly on the spot.

The state of death was very similar to that of the previous two Jiuhua disciples. They were all skin and flesh collapsed, leaving only the skeleton, and even the snow-white rabbit fur was gone.

Jiang Shuo couldn't bear to turn his face slightly, and the elder of the punishment hall was also a little embarrassed. He didn't expect this monster to be so violent, and he didn't want to see it for the second time in his life...

"Since we have caught the monster," Jiang Shuo turned around, and asked the elder of the punishment hall softly, "Can you rule out the suspicion of my little apprentice?"

The elder of the punishment hall hesitated for a moment, and said aloud: "Although I have caught it, but..."

"But there are still inconsistencies."

Suddenly a voice came from behind Jiang Shuo. It was the elder sister of Si Yaotang. She had come out of the grief of losing her junior brother, and she said clearly and calmly: "Ten years ago, on the night my cousin died, there was a night watchman passing by. Disciple Ming Jun saw the demon cultivator's back, and it looked like a young man in white clothes."

"This monster can't transform into form, so how can you tell me about it?" The elder sister of Si Yaotang bowed and said indifferently: "I reasonably suspect that there are still other monsters hiding in the sect, please Jiang Xianjun to investigate."

"What you said makes sense." The elder of the punishment hall stroked his beard, then turned to ask Jiang Shuo, "What do you think the Immortal Lord wants?"

Jiang Shuo thought for a moment and said, "Ming Jun, please come out and give a detailed account of what happened that night."

Ming Jun is a disciple of the Disciplinary Hall, he is not feeling well these days and is recuperating.Not long after sending someone to deliver the message, Ming Jun appeared at the door of the punishment hall.

"...I have met Jiang Xianjun, elders." Ming Jun said with his head down.

Jiang Shuo looked at him, and suddenly frowned slightly.

"This is the monster we captured tonight," the elder of the punishment hall said solemnly, "Mingjun, raise your head and take a serious look. Ten years ago, when you were patrolling the night, did you see that harmful thing similar to it? Or did you see it clearly?" A man in white?"

Hearing his words, Ming Jun briefly raised his head to glance at the berserk monsters in the magic circle, and quickly lowered his head again.

After a moment of silence, Ming Jun said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know."

The crowd was in an uproar.

The elder of the punishment hall frowned: "What do you mean? What do you know? You can just tell the truth about what you saw that night, and we will make the decision for you."

"I don't know," Ming Jun said slowly. "It was too dark that night, and I only heard a few screams. By the time I rushed over, the junior brother of Si Yaotang was already dead. As for the back view in white, maybe I was too shocked." However, the hallucinations I saw when I was in a trance, after I went back these days and thought about it carefully, it seems that I have never seen it."

The elder of the punishment hall was very angry: "You... how can you be so hasty!"

The elder sister of Si Yaotang was also stunned.

Ming Jun lifted up his robe, knelt down and kowtowed, "I made a mistake, I wish to be punished."

The elder of the punishment hall was angry for a long time, and sighed: "Hey you... Forget it, you can't be so ridiculous from now on, and it caused us to misunderstand you, Junior Brother Yu Yun. Since there is no real evidence, you should go back first, and everyone will still Don't let your guard down."

Ming Jun saluted without saying a word and left.

Jiang Shuo looked at his back thoughtfully, and asked the elder of the punishment hall: "Ming Jun... I remember that he has always been stable and reliable."

"Who says it's not." The elder of the punishment hall said helplessly: "Maybe they were too stimulated. These days, they are indeed worried every day."

Jiang Shuo lowered his eyelashes and said, "Please ask Si Yaotang to take care of him."

Elder Sister Si Yaotang stood aside, although she was puzzled, she had no choice but to say: "Since he said so, then I have no reason to mess around. I hope there is indeed only one monster."

The captured monster was suppressed by the magic weapon in the punishment hall. After more than ten days, there was no more incident of monster hurting people, and everyone's heart was finally relieved.

And Yin Sui, who was under house arrest in Qutai under "strict supervision", was finally able to lift the restraint and come out to let the wind go.

"Master..." Yin Suibai sat under the tree bored and complained, "I'm going to get sick from boredom."

He was locked in that small courtyard all day long, and he could only read books except for reading.

Yin Sui always hated those boring classics. After almost a month, he was already dizzy from reading the books and wanted to vomit. This is to avoid the task.

However, Jiang Shuo thought that he had studied hard these days and had finally lifted the ban, so he even wanted to give him a test.

"Have you finished reading it all?" Jiang Shuo reached out to pick off the peach buds on Yin Sui's head, and said softly, "I see that you study behind closed doors every day, and you seem to have lost some weight."

"..." Yin Sui thought to himself, it was not because of hard work and studious, but because of being tortured so much that he became thinner day by day.

But the young man smiled obediently again, his black and white eyes curved up in a naive and pleasing arc: "I've read it all, and there are some things I don't understand. I've read it several times."

Seeing his obedient appearance, Jiang Shuo felt affection for him, and couldn't help reaching out to touch the little apprentice's head, and said, "That's basically the theoretical knowledge you need to master. I'll come to test you today. If you can answer seven Eighty percent, you can start practicing."

Yin Sui cheered up immediately when he heard the words, and finally he didn't need to read the pile of broken books!

"What's the key to entraining Qi to break through to foundation building?" Jiang Shuo flipped through the book with one hand while asking the little apprentice a few questions casually.

To his surprise, the teenagers answered very well.

What's more, it wasn't memorizing the answers in the book by rote, but the comprehension at his fingertips. After listening for a while, Jiang Shuo lamented that the young apprentice's talent was really high.

It is worthy of being the light of righteousness in the future!

Yin Sui had no idea that his image had become more upright in Jiang Shuo's mind. He answered the questions casually. He only paid a little attention to these extremely simple questions, and the rest of his attention was on the people in front of him. body.

Jiang Shuo wore a new robe today, it was sandalwood color.Jiang Shuo changed his hairpin today, and it turned out to be made of valuable black antelope jade. Yin Sui reasonably suspected that it was a gift from someone else.Jiang Shuo didn't seem to have slept well in the past few days, and his eyes were slightly black and blue.Jiang Shuo...

Yin Sui suddenly approached, startled Jiang Shuo who was flipping through the book: "What's wrong?"

"Master," Yin Sui frowned, staring straight at Jiang Shuo's fair neck covered by his collar, and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with your neck?"

Jiang Shuo subconsciously blocked it with his hand, but Yin Sui reacted faster, pressed his hand, and gently pushed Jiang Shuo's neckline away, his eyes suddenly became gloomy.

There are several glaring bruises on the white and beautiful jade's slender neck, and they don't seem to be formed at one time, as if they were pinched many times, leaving such obvious scars.

Jiang Shuo paused, took Yin Sui's hand away, covered his collar again, and said softly, "It's okay, it will disappear soon."

Yin Sui's face was extremely ugly, and the retracted fingers were trembling slightly.

"Who did this?" he asked.
