Chapter 113: Discovery
"My lord, you're finally back......"
Early the next morning, Wang Wuyun had just returned to his courtyard when he saw the face of the white shopkeeper who was so excited that he was about to cry.
These days, the white shopkeeper is almost about to become Wang Wuyun's housekeeper, this time, Wang Wuyun disappeared for more than half a month before coming back, and seeing Wang Wuyun again, the white shopkeeper's relieved appearance even made Wang Wuyun think about it carefully, whether he owed him a lot of money, making him so worried about his safety.
"I'm fine, why is this expression ......" Wang Wuyun looked indifferent, and walked towards the living room as he spoke.
"There was such a big thing in Medicine King City last night, don't you know, early this morning, the shopkeeper Ji called me and asked me to see if you have come back, if the prince has not come back, the shopkeeper Ji will order to arrange the manpower of the medicine store to find the company!"
"What happened last night?" Wang Wuyun asked knowingly, his eyes looking ahead, and his tone was like chatting about gossip he heard from somewhere, "I saw the sky over there in the Medicine King Pavilion in the middle of the night, is there a fire somewhere!"
"Yes, there is a medicine store in the Medicine King Pavilion, called Feiyu Medicine Shop, several people died, and it was on fire......
"What's all the fuss about......"
"In addition to the Flying Feather Medicine Store, there was also an accident in Donglai Town last night, which is a little scary......"
Wang Wuyun, who was walking in the corridor, frowned, and his footsteps stood still, but the white shopkeeper still took two steps forward by himself, and when he saw Wang Wuyun standing still, he reacted, and quickly turned around, not knowing why Wang Wuyun stopped.
"What happened in Donglai Town last night?" asked Wang Wuyun.
The white shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, "Don't you know, I thought Childe already knew, and now the restaurants and tea shops outside are still talking about this!"
"I haven't eaten today, how do I know, tell ...... quickly"
"That's the case, there is an inn in the west of Donglai Town, not far from Donglai Town, about seven or eight miles away, I also heard people say, it was very late last night, someone went to the inn to stay, but I didn't expect to come to the inn, but found that all the people in the inn died?"
"Dead? Was it killed?"
Speaking of this, the white shopkeeper's face was already a little frightened, and he looked left and right, looking a little vigilant, "It's dead, but it's a little strange to die, I heard that the people in the inn, all turned into white bones, fifty or sixty people, from the innkeeper to the guys, to the people who lived in the inn, all turned into white bones, and no one survived......"
"It's all turned into white bones, aren't you mistaken?" Wang Wuyun's face instantly became solemn, and he suddenly thought of something.
"Make no mistake, I heard that many of those who turned into white bones were still sleeping in their beds, and they were killed before they even had time to resist, and they didn't know what evil skills would kill people so powerful, don't you always like to run out of the city, there is no news these days, so the shopkeeper Ji is worried about you, let me come here early this morning to guard, see if you are back or not......"
"Are the people in the inn where the accident happened still there?"
"I heard that it's still there, early this morning, there are masters from the Keqing group who went over to investigate......"
"Prepare for the car...... Wang Wuyun's face changed, and he turned his head directly and walked towards the door.
The white shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after him, "Childe...... Son...... Where are you going?"
"Go to the inn where the accident happened in Donglai Town!"
If you don't go to see it with your own eyes, Wang Wuyun can't sleep soundly.
......
After several hours of turbulence, at noon, a dusty carriage, escorted by two unicorn-ridden guards, finally came to Donglai Town again, and drove directly to the side of the inn where the accident occurred.
More than a dozen sergeants from Medicine King City stood outside the inn with serious faces, and had sealed off the surroundings of the inn, seeing the carriage and knights coming, a sergeant from Medicine King City frowned, and wanted to step forward to drive the carriage and knights away, but before he could speak, one of his colleagues stepped forward, pulled his clothes, and pointed to a mark on the carriage.
Seeing the mark belonging to the Antao Medicine Company, the sergeant who wanted to speak suddenly closed his mouth.
"Childe, this is it......" The white shopkeeper got out of the carriage a little out of breath, and after being on the carriage for so long, it was a crime for him, who had always been pampered, but he still had to follow, because if he didn't come, if the shopkeeper Ji asked about Wang Wuyun's whereabouts, if he didn't explain clearly, it would be even worse, if he followed, Wang Wuyun was still under his nose, and in front of the shopkeeper Ji, he also had an explanation.
Wang Wuyun, who had a serious face, jumped out of the carriage and looked at the surrounding environment, this inn is on the edge of Donglai Town, not in the lively area of Donglai Town, but it is not remote, next to this inn is a big road, the closest place to this inn is more than 300 meters away from several workshops of concocted medicinal materials.
Next to the inn, there was a small river, and in the courtyard of the inn there was a waterwheel with rice in the courtyard, rotating, if it weren't for the sergeants who were on guard outside the inn, almost no one would have thought that such a dangerous murder would happen here.
Wang Wuyun walked directly towards the inn, and saw that Wang Wuyun was extraordinary, and he was accompanied by two guards and a person who looked like a housekeeper, and one of the captains of the group of guards walked over and said politely, "There is a murder here, the Medicine King City Keqing Group is doing business, if this gentleman wants to stay in the hotel, please go to another inn!"
Wang Wuyun didn't say anything, just took out the waist card that Elder Long gave him, and lit it up in front of the sergeant who spoke, "You can go in now......
Seeing the waist card in Wang Wuyun's hand, the captain who opened his mouth immediately turned pale, and motioned to the few sergeants next to him to get out of the way and let Wang Wuyun and a few people in.
"Which one of the Keqing regiments is handling the case in there now?" asked the white shopkeeper.
Hearing the words of the white shopkeeper, the captain who blocked Wang Wuyun and them from entering looked a little embarrassed, "This...... The guest secretary of the guest group has not yet come......"
The guest secretary of the guest group hasn't come yet? Wang Wuyun glanced at the white shopkeeper.
The white shopkeeper was also a little embarrassed and explained beside him, "This...... Those masters of the Keqing Group rarely go out in normal times, they are only responsible for the safety of Yaowang City, the things in this inn may belong to the security and criminal cases of Yaowangcheng, this kind of thing, even if there is a Dan Pharmacist Guild for the masters of the Keqing Group to see, those people are estimated not to pay much attention, they will come a little later, and they may also be delayed by other things in Yaowang City......"
"It's okay, let's go take a look first......" Saying this, Wang Wuyun walked to the inn.
The lifeless feeling in the inn suddenly reminded Wang Wuyun of the feeling in the Lantian Jade Garden.
Walking into the inn, he didn't need to look for it, but after a glance, Wang Wuyun saw seven or eight skeletons lying on the ground in the dining room on the left hand side of the inn's entrance.
The skeleton was dressed in clothes, fell to the ground, the flesh and blood of the whole body were gone, under the empty clothes, there were just a skeleton of bones, which looked ghostly and chilling, on the table next to a few skeletons, there were still cold meals, undrunk wine glasses, half a pot of residual wine, and there were no signs of collapse and chaos on the tables and chairs around them, only a few pairs of chopsticks and a few wine glasses fell to the ground, and there were crooked chairs......
Judging from the situation at the scene, these people were drinking and eating when they died, and almost without any resistance, they had already turned into white bones.
In such a scene, Wang Wuyun saw nothing, and the white shopkeeper who came in with Wang Wuyun saw it, his face couldn't help but turn a little pale, and his teeth couldn't help but tremble, because this scene made people feel cold and scared more than the bloody and stumped slashing picture of broken arms and limbs.
Although it was broad daylight and still noon, the wind blew in at the door, and the white shopkeeper felt that the hairs on his neck stood on end, and a cold air drilled directly into his collar, as if something was blowing on the back of his neck.
Not to mention the white shopkeeper, it was the two guards of Antao Medicine that Wang Wuyun was carrying, and when he saw such a scene, his face also revealed a sense of nervousness.
Wang Wuyin also found that the white shopkeeper's face was a little ugly, so he said directly to the white shopkeeper, "White shopkeeper, there is nothing to do here now, you go outside and watch our carriage and mounts, there are still people around me, just come out and ...... to see."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait outside for Gongzi to come out, and Gongzi's safety will be handed over to you!"
When he came to the outside of the inn and stood in the sun again, the white shopkeeper felt that the cold air behind his neck had disappeared.
Inside the inn, Wang Wuyun squatted down in front of a skeleton, squinting his eyes, and carefully observing the skeleton, which was white and gray, losing all its luster, exactly the same as the bones that Wang Wuyun had witnessed in the Lantian Jade Garden.
There was also a chopstick on the ground next to him, and Wang Wuyun picked up the chopstick and tapped it lightly on the spine of the skeleton in front of him.
Syllable......
The spine shattered all at once, brittle like an eggshell, like weathered sand, and as the spine shattered, the net-like gap in the bone was suddenly exposed.
If a normal person died, there must still be bone marrow and something like bone marrow in the mesh gap inside the bones, and in front of him, in the backbone of the bones on the ground, even the bone marrow was gone, dry, and nothing was left.
The color and texture of the bones, as well as the appearance of the marrow being sucked dry in the bones, all of this was exactly the same as the white bones that Wang Wuyun had seen in the ground before, which had been turned into puffs of black smoke.
In an instant, a thought appeared in Wang Wuyun's heart—that thing in the Medicine God Valley was still alive, and it was in the Medicine King City.
Thinking of a duke-level bloodsucking insect demon beast hovering in the Medicine King City, Wang Wuyun also felt a cold air rushing from the soles of his feet to the Heavenly Spirit Gai, and he couldn't help but shiver.
