The Wujiang Ferry has long been a pile of charred wood. The water flow in the Wujiang River basin here is slow and gentle, making it a very suitable place for ships to dock.
Qin Yuesheng took out the fox's heart and the evil-repelling toad and observed them. There was nothing unusual, so he began to search around.
After Qin Yuesheng's careful search, he finally found some clues. He saw a large number of messy footprints in certain places in the Wujiang Ferry, all of which were adults. If Qin Yuesheng guessed correctly, these footprints should have been left by the group of Seven Star Guardians who had come here.
Following the footprints, Qin Yuesheng arrived at the ferry shore. There were obvious sword and knife marks, which were signs of a great battle.
"Those Seven Stars Supervisor officials must have encountered an enemy after arriving here. Who could it be? A water ghost? Or someone from the martial arts world?" Qin Yuesheng frowned and thought to himself.
At this moment, a pile of rotten wood nearby caught Qin Yuesheng's attention. There were many piles of rotten wood like this at the Wujiang Ferry, but this pile was the newest, as if it had been piled up just recently.
Qin Yuesheng stretched out his hand and waved it. His powerful internal force transformed into a gust of air that instantly blew away the pile of wood. Suddenly, two rotten corpses lying in a mess came into Qin Yuesheng's sight.
Looking at the clothes on the two corpses, Qin Yuesheng's face changed. They were officials from the Seven Stars Prison!
A wooden stick was used to push the bodies apart, and the fronts of the two men were suddenly facing the sky. Their faces were bitten to pieces. Even if their families came here, they would not be able to recognize who was who.
"The shape of the bite marks is that of a human, not a beast." Qin Yuesheng used a wooden stick to tear off the official uniforms of the two men, and saw that even their skin was covered with a large number of dark red scratches, and there were many pits where flesh was missing, deep enough to see the bones.
"According to the letter sent from Chang'an, there were six people who came to Antong County to investigate. Two of them are now dead, and we don't know whether the remaining four are dead or alive."
Qin Yuesheng looked towards the Wujiang River, and then looked at the other side of the Wujiang River. On the other side of the river was the neighboring state, which no longer belonged to the Jiangnan region.
"If the body falls into the river, it will be very difficult for me to find it." Qin Yuesheng said to himself.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and with the idea of giving it a try, he used the Yellow Spring Eye on the two bodies.
In an instant, two corpses stood up from the ground. Even though they had been dead for a long time, they still walked like normal people.
Qin Yuesheng had rarely used the Yellow Spring Eye before, but now he activated it with all his strength, and suddenly strange phenomena appeared.
"Help...help...." The two corpses twisted their bodies stiffly, and even made human voices from their mouths.
This really stunned Qin Yuesheng. Could it be that the Yellow Spring Eye had the ability to bring people back to life? This was too incredible.
“There are… there are… ghosts, so many… ghosts! Don’t… come over here… don’t come over here…”
"Sir... run away... run away... as long as you survive... you can ask for help... don't... don't worry about us..."
The two men kept shaking their arms, and finally their bodies began to collapse on the spot, turning into a large amount of sparks and dissipating into the air, leaving nothing behind.
"It looks like the other Seven Stars Supervisor officials must have escaped, but it's still uncertain whether they died after escaping, so we shouldn't hold too high hopes." Qin Yuesheng walked around the Wujiang ferry, turning over everything he could, but in the end, he didn't find anything new, so he turned around and left.
The remaining Seven Star Supervisor officials' lives and deaths were unknown, so Qin Yuesheng had to stay in Antong County temporarily, and the White Lotus Sect members lived with him in an inn. Originally, there were not many people in Antong County, and the local people each had their own residences. This inn was occupied by Qin Yuesheng and his group.
night.
"This wine is good. I've never tasted anything like it before."
"This is bayberry wine, only available in the south of the Yangtze River. You live in the north, so of course you've never had it."
"The sorghum liquor from the north is not available in the south. It doesn't matter if you are a southerner and have tried it."
In the lobby of the inn, four members of the White Lotus sect were having a midnight snack by lamplight, eating and drinking with great pleasure.
The lobby was extremely quiet, with only the figures of these four people swaying slightly in the candlelight.
A White Lotus disciple picked up a chicken leg, took a bite, and said, "Isn't that strange? I searched the entire first floor and the backyard, but couldn't find the shopkeeper or the waiter. Lao Wu and I killed these vegetables right in the chicken coop in the backyard. And I fried the bamboo shoots, edamame, and eggplant myself in the kitchen. Where did all those people go?"
Seeing the man's thoughtful expression, the person next to him casually patted his shoulder and said, "Why are you thinking so much? You are so suspicious. Who wouldn't go back to their room to sleep so late? They are waiting for you to come and cook at night."
"That's right, keep drinking. This bayberry wine tastes really good."
After three rounds of drinks, a White Lotus member suddenly clutched his stomach and said with a melancholy look on his face, "Oh, no, no, I have to go to the toilet first."
Without waiting for the other three to laugh, he immediately stood up and ran towards the backyard.
There is a corridor on the road between the inn and the backyard. There are copper lamps hanging on the corridor. The light in the corridor illuminated by red candles is sometimes bright and sometimes dim, which is indescribably strange.
The White Lotus member with a stomachache didn't care about anything else and ran out immediately, about to enter the backyard.
At this moment, a bronze mirror hanging on the wall next to the backyard gate suddenly caught his attention.
Under the bronze mirror was a hand-washing table. The wooden basin on the table was filled with clear water, and there was a bowl of snow salt next to it, which was used for washing hands.
