Chapter 383 Encouragement of Education
Ma Lu successfully touched the corpse, withdrew his hand with satisfaction, and turned to look at Gu Qingyi, only to find that the latter was still in the state of making the final blow.
It was not until Ma Lu patted her shoulder that she came back to her senses and exclaimed, "Ah, I killed someone!"
"Yes, it was just a bad guy. Congratulations to Gu Shenbu for getting rid of a scourge for the martial arts world." Ma Lu said.
Gu Qingyi blushed when he heard this, and waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, no, I didn't do anything. It was you who broke his body protection skills and beat him to only 9 points of blood. I was just lucky to complete the last blow."
"But without your blow, maybe both of us would have died here today."
Ma Lu was worried that tonight's experience would have too much of an impact on Gu Qingyi, making her back out. What if Gu Qingyi realized the dangers of the martial arts world after this battle, or stayed at home for safety, then where would he find someone with the Shenbu Order who could take him to continue touching corpses happily?
Therefore, Malu decided to give Gu Qingyi encouragement and education, and encouraged her whenever she was free, helping her to bravely pursue her dreams.
"Ah, is that so?"
Gu Qingyi felt that what Malu said was a bit exaggerated, but it seemed to make sense. Indeed, the longer the battle against a master like Yan Wuji dragged on, the more variables there would be.
Even if Yan Wuji only had 9 points of blood left, who knew if he would have any tricks left to use next.
From this point of view, she did contribute a lot in this battle, and to be honest, Yan Wuji was initially revealed to be the murderer by her reasoning.
But she didn't expect that only she, Malu, and Yan Wuji's wife and children survived in the last temple.
Gu Qingyi had not forgotten Ma Lu's previous life-saving grace, and then he clasped his fists towards him and said, "Brother Ma, I don't need to thank you for your kindness. After this battle, we are friends for life and death. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell me."
"Really? Then I just need your help with something."
"Well, what is it?"
"I want to investigate the case with you." Ma Lu got straight to the point.
"Eh?" Gu Qingyi's face showed a strange look. She thought of many possibilities, but she didn't expect Ma Lu to make such a request.
But soon her eyes lit up, "Do you like investigating the case too?"
"I like it." Ma Lu said very confidently. How could he not like being able to touch the corpse openly and pick up martial arts for free?
Gu Qingyi was immediately excited when he heard this, "Great, then we can communicate more in the future. I left home because I wanted to be a detective, oh no... I left home to join the Iron Clothes Gate because I wanted to be a detective when I was a child."
"Yeah, I understand." Ma Lu naturally would not expose Gu Qingyi's lies.
"Brother Ma wants to investigate the case with me, I'm more than happy to do so." Gu Qingyi rarely met a fellow traveler, and she was very excited. She wished she could talk to Ma Lu about the recent unsolved cases in the world.
However, when she saw the body beside her, she calmed down again and sighed.
Before, she had heard her father and several senior brothers and uncles mention the dangers encountered in investigating the case at home, but most of those dangers were just glossed over by them, becoming the embellishment of those tortuous and bizarre cases.
It was not until she went out by herself this time that Gu Qingyi realized what kind of villains they usually dealt with, and she could not help but have more respect for those divine detectives in the Iron Cloth Sect.
Fortunately, she did not bring shame to the Tieyi Sect this time. Just when Gu Qingyi was still immersed in the emotion of the real world, Ma Lu asked again, "How is the injury on your left arm?"
"Hiss~ It should be just a superficial injury, it's okay." Gu Qingyi said this, but she was already gnashing her teeth in pain.
She originally had 63 points of life but now only had 22 points, and the injury was not light.
Then she took out a jade bottle from her arms, poured out a pill from it, hesitated for a moment, and gave it to Ma Lu first.
"Brother Ma, this is a special healing pill made by the Tieyi Sect. Please help me give it to Aunt Zheng and let her eat it.
"Although she is Yan Wuji's wife, how many of the murders committed by Yan Wuji did she participate in need to be investigated. I plan to take her and the child to a nearby county town, where she will heal her wounds while waiting for the seniors of Zhengqi Academy. "
Malu had no objection. Yan Wuji's Demon Subduing Vajra Skill was already in his hands. Aunt Zheng didn't have any decent martial arts, so Malu naturally had no interest in her.
On the contrary, the corpses on the ground were more attractive, and Malu touched them one by one.
But this time it was not for martial arts. He had tried it before. A corpse can only be touched once. The reason why Malu scored twice was just to find out the valuables on them.
He had just come to this plane, his pockets were empty, and he urgently needed to collect some currency here.
It was just that people who traveled around the world usually didn't carry too much cash. Malu touched for a long time, and finally Only less than twenty taels of silver were found, but there were quite a few copper coins, almost a thousand coins.
In addition, Yan Wuji had a few silver notes on him, which were sewn inside his clothes, and were not found during the previous body search.
If Malu had not been careful and touched a hard place, he would have been unable to hide it.
However, the denominations of the silver notes were not large, three of 100 taels and two of 200 taels. I don’t know if he was used to spending money lavishly and didn’t have the habit of saving money, or if he fled in a hurry this time and didn’t have time to take it with him.
In short, as a well-known demon in the world, this money was indeed less, but Malu still kept it.
Then he remembered that Gu Qingyi seemed to have said that the Zhengqi Academy seemed to have issued a bounty order for Yan Wuji. Malu thought that he might be able to make another fortune from this, so he used the long sword in his hand to cut off Yan Wuji's head and wrapped it up.
Of course, Malu did not forget the batch of goods from Xingtong Escort Agency.
Although these were not silver, they were food materials that could be put into the collection bag. After Shen Zhou and others died, these goods would definitely not be delivered. Instead of leaving them here to let a passerby get a bargain, it would be better to let Malu pack them up and take them to another plane to cook for Lao Wang.
And Malu did not take them for nothing. After taking them, he dug a pit behind the temple. Now that he has internal strength, it is much easier to do such things.
After a while, a large pit of one zhang wide and half a zhang deep was dug by him. After that, Malu pushed all the bodies into the pit, filled them with soil, and let them rest in peace, which was considered to repay their kindness for increasing their merits.
When he finished all this, Gu Qingyi also dissolved the healing pill and opened his eyes again.
The secret healing elixir made by the Iron Armor Sect was quite effective. Her internal injuries recovered a lot, but her external injuries were only dealt with hastily. She still had to go to a nearby town to find a doctor for proper treatment.
