Chapter 11 Lin's Mystery
The cold desert is located at the northernmost end of the central continent.
A long-living mountain range runs millions of miles, spanning north and south, and separating east and west.
In the middle section of Changliu Mountain, a black water and a white water originate from the secluded springs in the mountains, flowing to the West and East Seas respectively, making a huge and powerful sea.
In this way, one mountain and two waters intertwined into a cross, dividing the cold and deserted into four areas.
The Hanhuang branch hall of Xuanyiwei is located near Youquan, the middle point of the cross. From here, you can quickly rush to any location of Hanhuang.
The destination of Fangbei and the Tutors' visit, Lin Family, is located in the south of the mountain and east of the water. It is relatively the most abundant area with the cold and deserted environment.
There is no country in the entire Hanhuang era, and a social system of human race has been built by countless sects, tribes, families, and free towns.
Of course, no matter how big or small, all forces must recognize Cangliu Sect as the uncrowned lord of Hanhuang, otherwise there will be no need to exist.
The Lin family has its own castle, located at the entrance of a valley, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, blocking the entrance of the valley, and the entire valley is its family territory.
The autumn wind is bleak, and the earth is frost yellow.
Lin Chaoming, the head of the Lin family, stood in front of the castle gate. At the age of forty, he was vicissitudes of face, frown, and had a lot of worries.
Behind him is the Lin family butler, with dozens of Lin juniors and servants, standing quietly on both sides with his hands down, without saying a word, and everyone looks haggard.
The young Lin family's eyes were even filled with panic.
I don’t know how long it has been, until two figures galloping on war horses appeared in the endless wilderness in the distance, everyone’s eyes lit up at the same time and they were filled with joy.
"Finally come!" Lin Chaoming couldn't help but sighed.
Then he carefully sorted out his clothes and when Fang Bei and Chu Ping'an rode a horse to the front, he came forward to greet him in person.
"Ping'an met his deceased uncle!" Chu Ping'an took the initiative to dismount and took the lead in asking for the gift.
Even Fang Bei next to him couldn't help but secretly admire the gentle and elegant appearance. The tool man does have a special temperament, and standing in front of him makes people feel like they are bathed in spring breeze.
"No need to be like this, Lin can't afford it."
Lin Chaoyang quickly helped Chu Ping'an up: "Is Elder Chu still safe?"
"Of course everything is fine."
Chu Ping'an glanced at the haggard people behind him and smiled and said, "Uncle Shi, why not say anything else in the future. Can you take me and Junior Brother Fang to the castle and take a look around?"
Lin Chaoyang was stunned: "Will you not have a rest first?"
“No need.”
Fang Bei took off the heavy wooden box with a Futu gun from the side of the war horse and carried it on his back. At the same time, he took over the conversation and said, "It is better to kill evil and eliminate evil spirits than to get rid of evil."
“Okay.”
Lin Chaoyang nodded, stretched out his hand politely, and asked the two to enter the city.
The Lin family’s castle should be a dock to be exact.
The four high walls are distributed in courtyard style inside, like a small town, rather than a single large and tall fortress.
However, except for the valley entrance, which is a city wall, Linjiawu Fort has only been replaced by cliffs on the other three sides.
"At first, all the servants in the mansion were killed, both men and women, and each of them was suffocated and died."
"Later, something happened to other residents in the valley, and it was the same way to die."
"There is such a panic in the valley, so many people simply fled outside the valley to take refuge."
"Later, it was more than ten days ago... something happened to the eldest young master and the young lady!"
The chief manager of the Lin family led Fang Bei and the tool man to inspect the scene in various parts of the Lin Mansion while introducing the situation.
When Fang Bei heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Diet?"
"No."
The headmaster of the Lin family said in a deep voice: "But they are all weak. If you shouldn't say anything, you can only hang yourself in one breath and you may disperse at any time."
Chu Ping'an kept staring at Fang Bei, as if he wanted to see his thoughts from his expression.
However, Fang Bei did not comment and said lightly: "Take me to see the bodies of the recent deceased, and then go to see your eldest son."
"OK."
The headmaster of the Lin family did not dare to have any objection and immediately led the way forward.
After a moment, I arrived at a small farmyard.
There were three tile houses arranged in the courtyard. A girl of sixteen or seventeen was standing outside the door with a boy of five or six, her eyes were red and her expression was cramped.
This family was originally a family of four, one son and one daughter. Although it was not rich, it was safe and healthy.
But three days ago, the eldest daughter woke up in the morning and knocked on the door that had been a long time ago, but there was no response in her parents' room.
Until noon, she felt something was wrong and asked her neighbors to help her knock the door open, but found that her parents were breathing completely and the body was stiff.
The moon has phases and waxing, and people have joys and sorrows. This is a matter that is difficult to be complete in ancient times...
Fang Bei sighed secretly when he walked into the door.
The bodies of the middle-aged couple remained the same as they were found, and were almost the same as the information they had received before.
There are strangulation marks on the neck, swelling complexion, cyanosis, bleeding under the conjunctiva, angrily venting the jugular vein, and the corpse spots are dark purple-red, which is very typical of suffocation death.
In addition, with your hands raised near your neck, your fingers curled up...it seemed to be grabbing something.
Click!
A strange sound suddenly sounded, and everyone looked at Fang Bei, but saw that he actually broke the peasant woman's finger.
In fact, Fang Bei naturally did not mean it. He just wanted to see if the peasant woman had anything caught in the cracks of her nails and palms.
As a result, the corpse was stiff and he was too strong, so he naturally broke it directly.
Fang Bei is well aware of the principle of "if you are no longer embarrassed, you are embarrassed", and he always has no expression on his face and seems nothing is wrong.
"Yeah, wound?!"
Fang Bei's eyes flashed and found that the fingers and palms of the peasant woman's hands actually had very small wounds, as if they were scratched by extremely tough and thin lines.
The same goes for the farmer next to him.
"Does there be such wounds on the palms of other corpses?"
Facing Fang Bei's inquiry, the shopkeeper of the Lin family was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head and said, "The little man will go check it right away."
Fang Bei nodded and continued to examine the corpse on the bed, from head to toe, especially looking carefully on his head.
Chu Ping'an next to him had no idea what Fang Bei was looking at. Although he was very curious, he could not find any useful information from these two corpses.
In his eyes, the corpse was just a corpse.
"Let's go and see the eldest son of the Lin family."
After a while, Fang Bei turned around calmly and left the courtyard and walked towards the Lin family mansion.
The symptoms of the eldest son and wife of the Lin family are extremely weak.
The eldest son was particularly serious, so thin that he was only skinny and bone-skinned. He didn't even have the strength to speak when he got up, but occasionally he could still eat something to save his life.
The young lady is better.
Not only is he clear-minded, he can even get out of bed and dress up to welcome two evil guards from Cangliu Sect.
When they saw the young lady of the Lin family, Fang Bei and Chu Ping'an were slightly stunned.
Because despite his very weak body, the young lady was wearing a light yellow tuxedo skirt and gauze skirt, with her head full of complex hair like a cloud, like a flying star chasing the moon, and she still had a very beautiful appearance.
"I don't want to meet people with disheveled hair, so I will make the two adults laugh." The young lady forced a smile and explained with a smile with a hug.
"Madam, I've thought too much." Chu Ping'an said something wrong.
Fang Beize looked at the young lady with a smile, then went directly to the bed to check the situation of the eldest son of the Lin family, and found that it was caused by deficiency of qi and blood.
Judging from Fang Bei's three-month experience in killing evil, it can basically be concluded that he was swallowed by evil spirits.
"Walk."
Fang Bei patted the tool man on the shoulder and signaled him to go out with him.
Seeing that he would finish so quickly, the young lady couldn't help but feel anxious: "Sir, I dare to ask my husband what he is, but I'll do it..."
"Don't worry, there is rescue!"
Fang Bei smiled at her, but did not explain much.
After leaving the inner courtyard, Chu Ping'an finally couldn't help but catch Fang Bei and asked, "Tell me a secret, do you have any clues? Is it a evil person a disaster? How long will it take to resolve it?"
The tool man asked so much about what he saw... Fang Bei complained in his heart.
At this time, the Lin family housekeeper also came back and reported the results he had just checked.
"Reported to the two lords, all the corpses that have not yet been buried have the same small wounds on the palms of their hands."
"That's right."
