Chapter 585: Corpse Retriever
Zhuo Fan looked embarrassed: "It's not like I have no connection at all... I have a relative who works at Guimen, and I only got a little help from him."
The Great Elder was furious: "What good things can there be in Ghost Gate? You are still proud of it, right?"
Jiang Ci: “?”
Although she didn't do anything, she still felt like she was scolded.
Zhuo Fan was not right but confident: "Great Elder, in fact, Ghost Gate is not as scary as you think, everyone inside is a talent..."
"Shut up!" The elder was so angry that he was about to smoke.
Now he finally understood why Zhuo Fan's file said he was a disciple of Ghost Gate.
It turned out that he was not a real disciple of Guimen, but he had had contact with Guimen before and had relatives in Guimen.
Zhuo Fan was afraid that the Great Elder would beat him, so he quickly explained: "I'm really not a spy from Ghost Gate."
Jiang Ci asked him, "Which relative of yours is in the ghost gate?"
Zhuo Fan gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.
"What are you still hiding now?" The Great Elder shouted angrily, "It's all Guimen's fault that the dean has become like this. If you don't tell me, then you are also responsible for killing the dean!"
Zhuo Fan had a bitter face: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't dare to say it!"
"Ghost Gate's eyes are everywhere. If I make irresponsible remarks about Ghost Gate, I will be retaliated against."
Zhuo Fan said, looking around with a look of fear.
Jiang Ci didn't say anything, just poked him on the forehead.
In an instant, a scene of a fiery hell emerged in Zhuo Fan's mind. He seemed to be in it, swallowed by the flames.
"ah!!"
Zhuo Fan cried out in pain from the burning pain.
When I opened my eyes, my whole body was already soaked in cold sweat.
"You, what did you just do to me? What was that thing?" Zhuo Fan's face was full of shock.
Jiang Ci smiled faintly: "You choose whether to tell the truth or continue to hide it."
Zhuo Fan was shocked, and then he realized that Jiang Ci was not an ordinary person at all!
If he was just an ordinary cultivator or a mystic, how could he have the ability to let him see the scenes of hell?
You can also experience the pain of your soul being burned.
She must have some connection with the underworld, maybe she is a ghost or something like that.
Zhuo Fan looked embarrassed.
On one side is the mysterious Ghost Gate, and on the other side is the threat from Jiang Ci.
No matter who he offends, he will have to bear the consequences.
He thought it over again and again and decided to tell the truth. After all, even if the Ghost Gate had eyes, it would not be able to discover it so quickly.
Jiang Ci’s threat is real and right in front of us.
Zhuo Fan took a pen and paper from the table and wrote down the identities of his relatives.
Jiang Ci glanced at the information on the note.
[Zhuo Mu, professional corpse retriever, address...]
She was slightly surprised: "Being a professional corpse retriever is a great merit."
Zhuo Fan nodded: "He is a distant relative of mine. Before he entered the ghost gate, he specialized in fishing out corpses from the water."
The elder was puzzled: "I heard that Ghost Gate is looking for talented people, but it is not easy to get the favor of Ghost Gate. How can a corpse retriever like him enter Ghost Gate?"
Zhuo Fan shook his head: "I don't know either. Anyway, when I heard that he got in, I thought I could get in too. I didn't expect to be rejected before I even touched the threshold."
Jiang Ci said: "Being a corpse retriever requires not only courage but also a strong life."
Even if you have a strong life, you will not be able to enter the eyes of ghosts.
Unless...
She said this and was silent for a moment.
Thinking of the Xuanyuan Kingdom that was destroyed back then, countless people died in the war, and their bodies were buried everywhere as time passed, and some may have been buried deep in the mud under the water.
Could it be that Ci Xin’s purpose in recruiting corpse retrievers is to recover the remains of the Xuanyuan people?
Apart from this reason, she couldn't think of any other.
"Venerable Jiang, was it his relatives who did it?" asked the Great Elder.
Jiang Ci: “?”
"You think too much."
She asked just to check the ghost gate.
"I can predict the dean's death. Just follow the clues I give you."
The Great Elder was surprised and asked, "Can you still chase the murderer like this?"
"Yes." Jiang Ci did what he said and made a divination on the spot, "The dean died at the hour of You. The real murderer is in the south, shaded by trees, and there are injuries..."
"I know it's in the south, but what does shade from the trees mean?" the elder asked in confusion.
Jiang Ci explained: "The hexagram shows that the other party is injured and is recuperating in seclusion in a forest with rich spiritual energy."
The elder's eyes lit up, "The only mountain in the south that has spiritual energy is -"
He almost blurted it out, then looked at Zhuo Fan and shut his mouth again.
"Venerable Jiang, I understand. I'll send someone to search right away!" The Great Elder did not forget to detain Zhuo Fan and wait for his fate.
Afterwards, the Great Elder sent someone to collect the dean's body.
Jiang Ci looked at the bloody office and had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
"Ci Xin, what are you doing? Do you want to destroy the world?"
The whole office was terribly depressing and eerie.
Jiang Ci didn't stay for too long. He ran into Qingfeng as soon as he came out of the office.
Qingfeng leaned against the wall, looking at her lazily, "Have you found the real culprit?"
Jiang Ci said nothing and continued walking out.
Qingfeng followed her and kept asking her, "How are you? How can you cast a spell so casually? Aren't you afraid of backlash? Let me see. I know a little bit of medical skills and can cure you..."
He hadn't finished his words.
Jiang Ci directly took out a bottle of pills from the Qiankun bag hanging around his waist.
Pour a handful of it into your mouth and chew it like you're eating candy.
Qingfeng: “?”
"If I'm not mistaken, you took the Yuan-boosting Pill, right?"
She eats Yuan-replenishing pills as if they were free. She is so extravagant.
Jiang Ci smiled wryly and said, "Anything else?"
Qingfeng looked at the Qiankun bag again. Seeing the totem on the bag, he recognized it at a glance. "Jiuli Zhenjun? Isn't he the most stingy? When the Immortal Land War broke out, so many immortals were injured and went to him for medicine, but he didn't even open the mountain gate. He was also very mean and told them to stay away and not stink in front of his house."
Jiang Ci was delighted when he heard it.
I didn’t expect that Jiuli Zhenjun had such a past.
But he was not stingy and gave her large bottles of panacea.
"So you and True Lord Jiuli have known each other for a long time... As expected, I've been locked up for so long that my eyes are covered with a layer of dust and I can't tell the difference between what's real and what's fake." Qingfeng laughed at himself.
Jiang Ci didn't want to say it at first, but thought about his recent abnormal behavior.
She still couldn't help asking, "Why are you suddenly so nice to me?"
Qingfeng was stunned, "Huh?"
"Don't play dumb. Let me think about when you started to change." Jiang Ci thought for a moment and said, "At the last Jiang Clan banquet, when I wanted to enter the Jiang Clan's forbidden area, you spoke ill of me and threatened to fight with me."
"After I came out of the Jiang Clan's forbidden area, your attitude changed."
"Did you see or hear anything during the time I was in the forbidden area?"
