Chapter 162 The True Target of the Tomb Spy
Chapter 162 The True Target of the Tomb Spy
Witch Officer Jiang snorted lightly, and the wind blade stopped wreaking havoc and turned into a cage again, covering the beast.
"Tell me, why are you here coaxing children to dig up graves and destroy corpses in the middle of the night? Did the Chu State's tomb-digging spies ask you to do this?"
Witch Officer Jiang did not let Shang Lu retreat, and interrogated the beast in front of him.
The beast, covered in blood, shook its head pitifully.
"I don't know what it means to be a secret spy. Confusion of right and wrong is my way of cultivation. The more thoroughly I distort people's worldview, the more benefits I can get..."
Before Xieshou could finish his words, he was interrupted by Witch Officer Jiang in a cold voice.
"you are lying!"
The gale cage turned into a wind blade again and slashed at the beast.
The ice cones that locked the beast's limbs also broke into countless tiny ice chips, which entered the beast's blood vessels and drilled into its internal organs, wreaking havoc wildly!
The pain caused by the ice chips was even more uncomfortable for the beast than the slashing of the wind blade.
It was a torture mixed with wild itching and excruciating pain, enough to drive a person mad.
The beast screamed and cried out for justice.
"I didn't lie. I told the truth. I swear to God—"
Witch Officer Jiang was unmoved and just sneered: "Swear to the heaven? If the heaven could really hear your oath, he would strike you with lightning every day!"
He spread out his left hand, and a cut appeared on the palm of his hand, but no blood flowed out. As the muscles squirmed, a strange eye emerged from his palm.
The eyeball of this eye was bulging, and it locked onto the beast with a strange gaze.
When the beast saw this eye, it trembled immediately, as if it had seen its natural enemy.
Witch Officer Jiang said coldly: "In front of the eyes of God, all your lies will be exposed!"
Shanglu recognized the eye.
These are the eyes of the strange statue enshrined in the side hall of the Witch Temple in Luoshui County.
I didn't expect that the eyes of the statue could be taken off and taken away in this way?
"I'll give you one more chance. Don't lie. Tell the truth. Otherwise, I'll let you know why the Discipline Department is called the Hell!"
The beast shuddered.
At this moment, its expression was uglier than if its father had died. It cried with a rabbit face and said, "I understand, I understand. I will tell the truth and will never lie again."
With the divine eyes watching him, the false beast dared not lie anymore.
It finally told the truth: "It was indeed the Chu State's tomb-opening spy who gave me a reward and asked me to do this."
While the black beast was talking, Witch Officer Jiang had been staring at the divine eye in his hand. Seeing that it did not respond, he nodded slightly and commented, "You are sensible."
Then his expression became serious and he continued to question: "Why did they do this?"
Yunxi Town is far away from Yunhua Mountain. If you want to use the Air-Devouring Centipede to dig a tunnel all the way to Yunhua Mountain, it is obviously unrealistic.
Moreover, in the burial forest, Shang Lu and his team carefully checked the excavated graves and did not find any adult or eggs of the centipede inside the tombs.
The answer from the evil beast stunned Shang Lu and Witch Officer Jiang.
"They want to pollute the ley lines."
"Polluted leylines?"
"That's right, the child dug up his own ancestral grave and destroyed the bones of his ancestors, which is an act of disrespect to his teacher and ancestors and a great act of treason.
Even if their ancestors have been dead for many years and their bodies have long since rotted away, they will still erupt with strong resentment.
However, because the people who dug up graves and destroyed corpses were their only bloodline descendants, they could not vent their resentment against them, and it could only be accumulated in the burial forest.
The burial forest is naturally filled with yin energy. The resentment accumulated in it and intertwined with each other will produce evil energy in a few days! The yin energy of the burial forest will lock up these evil energy, making it unable to float out of the forest. It can only be transmitted into the ground and pollute the ground veins. "
"What's so special about the ley lines here?"
Witch Officer Jiang murmured in a low voice and quickly took out a leather map from his arms.
Shang Lu stuck his head out to take a look. It was a topographic map of the State of Ba with many thick and thin lines on it. It looked like a hydrological map.
However, after looking at it a few more times, Shang Lu concluded that this picture had nothing to do with hydrology.
Because he found Luoshui County on the map, and discovered that the river that passed through the county did not match the lines drawn on the map, either in terms of position or direction.
“This is a leyline map.”
Witch Officer Jiang seemed to have guessed his surprise, and said without even looking up: "The court invited a witch officer who is proficient in geomancy, and it took several years to draw this. If a disaster occurs in a certain place, the cause can be found out from the ground veins, and improvements can be made..."
After briefly explaining the function of the geomantic map, Witch Officer Jiang also found the geomantic veins near Yunxi Town.
I saw a thin line passing through the burial forest outside the town, and finally merged with several thin lines and joined the ground vein of Yunhua Mountain.
"The ground veins of the Burial Forest are actually connected to Yunhua Mountain?"
Shang Lu was surprised.
This place is far away from Yunhua Mountain, but I didn’t expect that they belong to the same land vein.
Then, a guess popped up in his mind. He knew what the tomb-opening spy of Chu State was planning to do!
Witch Officer Jiang hadn't figured it out yet. He frowned and said, "You are polluting the earth veins here. Aren't you afraid that it will affect the secret realm?"
Before the evil beast could speak, Shang Lu was the first to express his guess.
"Perhaps what they want is to pollute the secret realm!"
"what?"
Witch Officer Jiang was stunned when he heard this, but then he reacted, his eyes widened, and he said in horror:
"You mean, the tomb-opening spies from Chu State never thought of breaking into the secret realm to steal treasures and seize opportunities.
All the things they did before were to mislead us and make us focus more on improving the defense of Yunhua Mountain and dealing with the traitor.
But in fact, their real goal is to pollute and destroy the secret realm? "
The more Witch Officer Jiang thought about it, the more he felt that this was very likely.
"No wonder, although we have caught some evil spirits who were spying on the secret realm and trying to dig tunnels to sneak into the secret realm these days, they were all minions who were bewitched and driven, and we have never been able to catch the real boss. It turns out that their idea was this!"
At this time, the false beast also gave an answer: "You are right in your judgment, they just want to use the evil spirit to destroy the secret realm!"
After saying this, it glanced at Shang Lu with surprise in its eyes, as if it didn't understand how a small county lieutenant could immediately understand the intention of the Chu State's secret spies to uncover the tombs after hearing his words.
The false beast knew this secret because it relied on its deceptive mouth and its tricks to get the information out of it.
Witch Officer Jiang immediately looked at the beast and urged, "Tell me everything you know!"
The Devil confessed: "Those people said that although the things in the secret realm are good, it is too difficult to break in and steal them.
Moreover, they are not aware of the treacherous situation in the secret realm. If they rush in rashly, not only will they not be able to steal treasures or opportunities, they may also lose their lives. It is better to pollute the secret realm with evil spirits and turn it into a "dangerous place".
In this way, although they cannot make a profit, they can destroy your resources and undermine your development..."
After hearing what the evil beast said, Witch Officer Jiang's face became extremely ugly.
Fortunately, Shang Lu discovered the evil beast, otherwise they would have been kept in the dark.
But if we wait until the secret realm is polluted, it will be too late.
Witch Officer Jiang glanced at Shang Lu and thought that Feng Boyuan was right. This boy was really lucky. He then asked, "Where are the tomb-opening spies of Chu State hidden?"
The beast said: "I don't know, they all contacted me on their own initiative. I asked them, and they said they kept changing their identities and addresses because they were afraid of being targeted by you."
Witch Officer Jiang asked a few more questions, and finally asked the beast to tell him everything it knew.
When the evil beast finished speaking and was about to beg for mercy, he suddenly clenched his hand.
The ice spikes that locked the beast's limbs immediately penetrated into its body and pierced its internal organs.
The wild wind cage circling around turned into a sharp wind blade, and with a "swish", it cut off the beast's head.
The beast opened its eyes wide and died with its eyes open.
It thought that its active cooperation would give it a chance to survive, but it did not expect that the witch officer of the Discipline Department would be so cruel and ruthless.
"You have fooled the people, confused right and wrong, and incited public sentiment. Your crime is unforgivable! According to the law, you should be sentenced to death by a thousand cuts. I am giving you a quick death because you have cooperated with me."
Then, the witch officer said to Shang Lu, "I have to hurry back to report this news to Feng Boyuan. I'll leave this to you.
You must deal with the body of this beast properly. It is best to burn it with a big fire in a deserted place. Make sure it is completely burned to ashes. Do not be negligent.
When burning, you must remember to be in the upwind position to avoid being tempted by the smell.
The meat of this beast is extremely delicious and very tempting. But no matter whether it is a human or an animal, once they eat its meat, they will lie and will never be able to tell the truth again.
"Yes, I understand." Shang Lu bowed and accepted the order.
Witch Officer Jiang suddenly remembered something and looked Shang Lu up and down with curiosity.
"Come to think of it, the Black Beast was talking nonsense before, and even used the Art of Melting Metal with Everyone's Mouths, how come you were not affected at all?"
"That's because I have a stable mind and a firm faith in Taoism." Shang Lu said seriously.
Witch Officer Jiang laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, I think more and more that you are suitable for the Discipline Department."
"Is it because my faith in Taoism is firm?" Shang Lu asked.
"Do not."
Witch Officer Jiang shook his head: "Because you are thick-skinned enough. When others scold you, you will take it as a compliment."
Shang Lu was speechless.
Witch Officer Jiang made some witch gestures and tried to take back the divine eye, but the divine eye suddenly flew out of his hand and flew towards Shanglu.
"what?"
This situation was not only beyond Shang Lu's expectations, but also beyond Jiang Wuguan's expectations. Both of them were stunned.
The next moment, Shang Lu secretly cried out that it was not good, but he guessed a possibility...
