Chapter 70: The Darkness of the Deserted Island (5)

"Is that true?" Zhan Li was quite surprised, but he turned the corpse over.

Zhu Qingsheng covered his mouth and nose, and used a branch to pick the clothes behind the corpse. Under the candlelight, a deep black water stain was imprinted on the clothes. At the same time, a pungent smell came to his face. Mei Shidao smelled it from afar. Suddenly, he felt dizzy and hurriedly turned around like Zhu Qingsheng, covering his mouth and nose, and felt better.

Even though Zhan Li had a deep skill, he couldn't help but sway when he smelled the stinky smell. He experienced the old Taoist and found that this smell was definitely not the stinky smell of the rotten corpse, but a sour smell that pierced the nose, and he couldn't help but feel strange.

Zhu Qingsheng was shocked and suspicious. If it was really as Xue said, was this corpse really killed by a resentful ghost? Isn’t it all like this, including the three eunuchs who died here? So, is that resentful ghost still here? Are you watching them somewhere?

Zhu Qingsheng shivered and slowly swept through the surrounding environment, it was pitch black and silent.

Mei Shinan pinched her nose and shouted, "I said, did you deliberately want to mess with us? Why did you turn it over and get even more smelly?"

Zhu Qingsheng glanced around and saw that nothing was wrong, so he talked about meeting Xue Lai and the other three during the day, including the content of their conversation.

After hearing this, Zhan Li pondered: "I think there is something strange about this. No matter how they died, it is a suspicious point that they came here. Since this corpse is the same as the three eunuchs' deaths, there is no need to check it. Just put him here first and look at it when we come back."

Zhu Qingsheng had a general idea. He always thought that this island was too weird, not to mention that Zhong Shuidan and the constable were on this island, which was very dangerous. It would be better to investigate it early and leave early.

Mei Shinan had long wanted to leave this place, especially the farther away from the corpse, the better. He agreed immediately: "I think Brother Zhan is right. Maybe we will investigate it clearly after going forward. Let's go first."

Zhu Qingsheng bowed deeply to the corpse and said softly: "This layman, no matter what you come here to do, we will investigate the cause of your death and let you be buried in peace. Please rest in peace."

Zhan Li took some branches, covered the body roughly, put up a wooden block as a mark, sighed and said, "Let's go."

The three of them continued to walk up the mountain. After the previous incident of the dead bodies, the three of them felt much more depressed. No one spoke along the way. Looking down, a fire snake was wandering and running on the shore. It must be those constables who were searching for explorers who came one step earlier than them.

I wonder what they came to this island to do? Could it be that they were also here to investigate the cause of the death of the three eunuchs? This statement is more likely due to their identity as the constable.

Zhan Li said as he walked, "Brother Zhu, why do you think that corpse died because of?"

Zhu Qingsheng hesitated and said, "I'm not sure about this, but I can't say it, it's really similar to Xue." Although he didn't explain it clearly, he already understood the meaning, and he agreed with Xue Lai's statement.

Zhan Li nodded and said, "Brother Zhu's words are not unreasonable. So what about Brother Mei, what do you think?"

Mei Shinan didn't expect to ask herself, and immediately waved her hand and said, "I'm not good at this kind of thing, I don't even look at the corpse. Zhu Boy doesn't understand, I don't understand it, and I don't understand it."

Zhan Li said: "This matter is indeed too complicated. You can only take one step at a time. However, if it is artificial, I will definitely not let the murderer go."

Zhu Qingsheng nodded and said, "Yes, that murderer killed so many people, so he must not be let go."

Mei Shinan suddenly asked, "Boy, I'll ask you something."

Zhu Qingsheng was stunned, but he didn't expect that he would ask himself a question, and said, "Then let's talk about it, it's too complicated and profound, I don't understand."

Mei Shinan's expression of excitement flashed across her face and said, "The story of the scholar you just told, who is the god who turned stones into gold? I'll burn two incense sticks tomorrow."

It turned out to be this incident. Zhu Qingsheng immediately replied: "That god is Han Zhongli, and that scholar is Lu Dongbin. This story tells that Han Zhongli is testing Lu Dongbin. There are ten tests in the future, which is similar to your name."

Mei Shinan breathed a sigh of relief and was completely distracted, saying, "Who did I think? I didn't expect it to be the Eight Immortals. I lived in the Eight Immortals Temple for a while, and that time was my most unlucky time. It would be better if these eight gods didn't worship them."

Zhu Qingsheng was so amused that he could only listen to this kind of story of turning stones into gold. How could he take it seriously? Mei Shidao is so confused about money.

Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard, and the three of them looked along the sound. A ball of green fireworks exploded in the air and did not disperse for a long time.

Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shinan were still stunned and couldn't figure out why anyone would set off fireworks here, so they heard Zhan Li say, "Oh no, this is the communication signal from the yamen. It must be the detectives who discovered something. Let's go and have a look."

Zhu Qingsheng also woke up. He often heard Mr. Shu say such things, but he didn't expect that when he saw it with his own eyes, he immediately forgot it and couldn't help but feel ashamed.

Zhan Li said: "They must have discovered something. While they are all rushing over, we will follow us quietly and never be discovered by them."

Zhu Qingsheng nodded and said, "This is natural, I will be a hundred times more careful."

Mei Shinan said anxiously: "You all have martial arts, of course you don't have to be afraid, but I don't have it, they will find it."

Zhan Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother Mei, I'll help you." As he said that, he held Mei's shoulders with his right hand and suddenly stepped forward.

Mei Shinan saw a flash of eyes, raised his feet and put them down, landed silently, then moved to another place. Looking back, it was two feet away from the original place. Mei Shinan couldn't help but be overjoyed: "That's fine, I'm going to bother Brother Zhan."

Zhan Li smiled and said, "It's okay, take advantage of the time, let's follow and take a look."

Zhu Qingsheng always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. But now he had no idea about it on this small island, so he could only go and see where the constables gathered first.

Zhan Li wanted to take care of Mei Shidao and ran forward first. Zhu Qingsheng saw the two of them getting farther and farther away, and was about to use their light skills to chase them, he glanced back at the place where the corpse was covered. When he turned around, a pair of pale and ruthless faces flashed in the darkness. Zhu Qingsheng was shocked. He wanted to look carefully again, but the face disappeared again.

Zhu Qingsheng looked at it carefully several times, and saw that the strange face never appeared again. He only thought that he was overly nervous and had hallucinations. He stopped thinking about it now, and used his light skills to chase Zhan Li and Mei Shinan.

Just as Zhu Qingsheng turned around and ran, a blurry pale face appeared again.
