I Have Unparalleled Comprehension-Chapter 30

New Hidden Weapon

“These are all… the bones of children!” Liu Xu’s eyes widened.

In the hidden compartment, there were human remains of different shapes.

The size of the remains was not big, and one could tell their age at a glance.

The compartment was so densely-packed that it made one’s scalp tingle.

When she saw the wall full of children’s corpses, Liu Xu recalled that there was a man and a woman in the blacksmith shop. She suddenly remembered the identity of this man and woman.

The Hundred Schools of Thought of the Great Chu Dynasty were contending, and all kinds of sects rose and fell.

In the martial world, there was once a couple who were still wanted by the government.

The man was an Underworld Blacksmith, and the woman was a Yin Chef.

These two inheritances were branches of Spirit Casting and Spirit Chef. They were extremely evil and were not tolerated by the world.

Ultimately, it was because of the method they used.

The things made by the Underworld Blacksmith needed to be quenched with blood, and the ingredients cooked by Yin Chefs were flesh and blood.

The flesh they used had to be that of a child under the age of five. As for the principle, it was unknown.

The two of them fought and killed wantonly. In the end, they were wanted by both the government and the Heaven Surveillance Bureau and fled.

After they hid their identities, the government had been investigating their whereabouts, and the Heaven Surveillance Bureau was also searching for them.

She did not expect these two to come to Sheng County and kill so many people here.

“Could it be that these two are the ones who killed people?” Liu Xu guessed.

She began to organize her thoughts.

“There were saber marks. The battle was very intense.”

“According to the news released by the Heaven Surveillance Bureau, the Underworld Blacksmith’s attack method is mostly related to forging. His armor covers his entire body and his defense is very strong.”

“But just because it’s been so long doesn’t mean he only has one set of armor. The Underworld Blacksmith can forge it. Maybe he made a mechanism to fire hidden weapons, causing dense wounds.”

“There are also saber marks. Perhaps he forged a special weapon. Other than an official from the Heaven Surveillance Bureau, the other dead people are from the Jisheng Cult.

“Could it be that the two of them had a conflict with the Jisheng Cult and had a confrontation? Coincidentally, the official of the Heaven Surveillance Bureau passed by and they had a three-way fight?”

“If that’s the case, it makes sense, but I keep feeling that something is wrong.” Liu Xu frowned.

She still remembered that the government office said that the saber mark was methodically made. It seemed to be a saber technique.

There were three bodies of martial artists at the scene, but none of them used sabers.

If the saber marks were made by the Underworld Blacksmith, why was there a saber technique?

The Underworld Blacksmith was not a martial artist.

After thinking about it, Liu Xu came to a conclusion.

Someone else was involved.

“But who is this person? Moreover, the Underworld Blacksmith couple has disappeared.” Liu Xu thought for a long time, but she had no clue.

The Heaven Surveillance Bureau was supposed to be in charge of this matter related to the martial world. Moreover, an official had died. The Heaven Surveillance Bureau had probably received the news and was on their way.

However, Liu Xu really wanted to interfere.

She was a scholar who read the books of sages and was particular about ruling the country and bringing peace to the world.

The Qingyun Academy had always taught them this. Every student of the Qingyun Academy followed the instructions of the Academy.

However, Liu Xu did not think so.

How could she sweep the world if she couldn’t even sweep a single house?

Governing the country and bringing peace to the world was a lofty dream. When one encountered injustice, one would look at the present.

So many lives had already been lost. This matter had seriously threatened the safety of Sheng County.

Before the Heaven Surveillance Bureau arrived, she had to at least guarantee that nothing major would happen here again.

“I’ll leave first. When the time comes, I’ll look for news about these two people.” Liu Xu didn’t think too much about it and turned to leave.

The night grew thicker, and her figure disappeared into the darkness.

…

The next day.

Xu Bai rubbed his eyes, yawned, and got up from the bed.

It was another peaceful day. If not for what happened last night, it would have been even more peaceful.

The first thing he did every morning was to wash up and go out for breakfast.

Today, he went to the stall as usual.

However, when he arrived, he realized that there was no one in front of the stall.

The stall was empty, and Xiao Yue was nowhere to be seen.

“Not open today?”

Xu Bai waited for a while, but no one came to set up the stall. He turned around and left.

He found a new place and casually ate something. He did not go home and searched for materials to make hidden weapons in the outskirts.

Rain of Maple Leaves was a good skill. He could not just let it go unused. Although the iron beads were gone, he could find another way to utilize the skill.

The street stalls in Sheng County sold many small trinkets. When Xu Bai stopped in front of a small stall, the owner of the stall hurried to welcome him.

“Sir, what are you looking for?”

Xu Bai squatted down and rummaged through the stall. Finally, he found something and placed it in his hand. He asked, “How much is this thing?”

On his palm was an iron needle with rust on it.

“Sir, this is not worth much. I just casually placed it here to sew something,” the boss hurriedly said.

Beside the stall was a piece of clothing with some holes on it.

“I don’t have this at home. The blacksmith shop doesn’t seem to be open. I don’t know what’s going on.” Xu Bai looked at the other things and said, “I don’t lack anything else.”

When the boss heard this, he seemed very awkward and conflicted.

He had set up the stall all morning, yet nothing had been sold. Now there was a customer, but he wasn’t interested in anything else.

But how could he charge someone for a needle?

The boss was an honest person. He felt that no matter how poor he was, he could not cheat someone’s money like this.

He thought for a moment and said, “Sir, if you really want this needle, pick something else too. As for the needle, just take it as a gift from me.”

“Okay.” Xu Bai didn’t waste any time. He picked a stool and asked, “How much is it?”

This small stool was woven from bamboo. Clearly, the boss had made it himself.

The boss held up two fingers and said, “Two copper coins.”

Xu Bai took out two copper coins from his waist and handed it to the boss.

After doing all this, he pretended to ask casually.

“Boss, after I took this needle away. What are you going to use to sew?”

The boss was very happy to have completed today’s first transaction.

After hearing Xu Bai’s question, he subconsciously replied, “It’s fine, sir. I still have some at home. When the blacksmith shop opens, I’ll just call him.”

Xu Bai stroked his chin and asked, “Is there no other blacksmith shop here?”

“Yes, but ever since the last blacksmith shop in our county opened, all the other blacksmiths have mysteriously left.” The boss did not feel annoyed and answered very quickly.

“I see.”

After getting what he wanted, Xu Bai prepared to leave.

“Take care, Sir.” The boss nodded and bowed.

Along the way, Xu Bai was still thinking about what to use as a replacement.

It was impossible to collect needles on a large scale. It would attract attention.

On the surface, the blacksmith shop was closed, but in fact, he had already buried the blacksmith.

As for why there was only one blacksmith shop, Xu Bai guessed that it was because the couple wanted to monopolize the business and earn more money.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have come to find trouble with him for money.

But now, he really needed new hidden weapons to use with the Rain of Maple Leaves.

“What should I use?”

Xu Bai swayed his stool and suddenly stopped.
