On the official road leading to Qinghe Town in Ping'an County.

There were two horsemen walking side by side.

"Xiao An, in a few days, you will be sixteen, right?"

Qin Li of Ping'an County pulled the reins, sat down on the horse, and looked at Gu An, who was also wearing a fast hunting suit beside him, with a chuckle.

"Well, it's seven days. ”

"How's your cultivation going?"

"Quenching the body is eightfold, and half of the blood is exchanged. ”

"Yes, your father will be happy if he has a spirit in heaven. ”

Qin Li looked up and sighed.

Hearing this, Gu An's eyes gradually blurred.

Gu An's father, Gu Qing, was also a fast catcher, and unfortunately passed away when he went on a mission last month.

This incident was undoubtedly a major blow to Gu An, who had lost his mother at a young age, and he collapsed in the mourning hall under exhaustion.

When he woke up again, he was the current Gu An, and Gu An's position of catching fast was also the inheritance of Gu Qing's position.

"You can try this year's assessment of the Evil Division. Qin Li remembered that every time he went on a mission, Gu Qing would show off in front of them, saying that he had such a son.

"Your father's greatest wish in this life is this. ”

This is a world full of demons and weird and rampant, and there are warriors accordingly.

Originally, the cultivation techniques of the martial artists were in the hands of the major sect families, and they divided the territory and ruled it.

Others can only come into contact with cultivation if they enter a sect or a family.

Importantly, not everyone can get into it.

It depends on the qualifications.

Some civilians who have been brushed down due to poor qualifications, even if they can't cultivate to a very high level after obtaining the exercises, they can still have a certain amount of self-preservation power after learning.

As a result, because he couldn't get in touch with the exercises, he was mutilated by some weak demons.

This did not change until a hundred years ago.

Xiao Yuhan, the former sect leader of the Qianyuan Sect, was concerned about the people of the world, and after breaking through to the realm of martial saints, he overwhelmed the rest of the major sect families and established the Great Qian Dynasty.

The school opened the palace martial arts academy and faced the people of the world.

Set up the evil town division to suppress the evil spirits in the world.

And the basic cultivation method will be made public, and the era of national martial arts cultivation has come.

Therefore, the people of the world all support Xiao Yuhan, and some even sculpt a bronze statue for Xiao Yuhan at home and worship day and night.

Although there were several rebellions led by certain sect families after the founding of the country, they were all suppressed without exception.

"Uncle, don't worry, Qinghe Town is in trouble, and I will be ready to complete the blood exchange when I go back. ”

"Haha, you do things, I don't worry!"

The weather in early summer is always unpredictable, and between the two of them, the sun was shining just now, and the dark clouds were rolling in an instant.

Rustle of falling leaves, snow and rain~~

The rain was falling.

"It didn't rain much. ”

Qin Li muttered, "Let's go on our way." ”

As soon as the words fell.

Thundered~~

Thunder roared.

Two-breath time.

Boom~~~

The rain was heavy.

Qin Li scratched his head slightly embarrassed, and said with a smile: "This ghost weather, there is a ruined temple not far ahead, let's go hide from the rain." ”

"Hmm. ”

Inside the temple.

"I was thinking that I could run back and forth a day, but looking at the current situation, the rain will be for a while and a half, and it is estimated that it will not stop. ”

Qin Li looked at the pouring rain outside and sighed faintly.

"Uncle. ”

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"In this temple, what was originally enshrined. ”

Gu An has been looking at the environment in the temple since he entered the temple.

The dilapidated temple gate, the broken bronze statue with only half of the body remaining, and the spider that has lived on the beams of the house for a long time all prove that this place has been abandoned for a long time.

According to Gu An's understanding, in the strange world of demons, there should be immortals.

But within a month of Gu An's coming to this world, all he heard were legends about the Great Qian Emperor Xiao Yuhan or some well-known figures in the court today.

No one has ever talked about immortals at all, but if there are no immortals, then what is enshrined in this temple?

"You say this, this was originally a mountain temple. Qin Li looked up at the bronze statue that was only half left behind him, revealing a look of reminiscence: "When Your Majesty has not yet unified the world, we people, if we encounter a more powerful demon, we will die."

Therefore, the people of Ping'an County all pointed to the mountain god and worshiped his old man, hoping to deter the demons. ”

In this way, there are still immortals.

So why did it fall into disuse?

"Did the old man of the mountain god help the people?"

"Nope. ”

“......”

As if seeing Gu An's stunnedness, Qin Li sighed: "Alas, there must be hope, right?"

But ah, now it's okay, everyone can cultivate, and each county also has a yamen to suppress evil spirits.

There is no need to count on this ethereal immortal god. ”

After speaking, silence returned to the temple.

Only the sound of rain outside the temple is still there.

After a long time.

The rain gradually stopped.

"Let's go, get to Qinghe Town early. ”

Qin Li patted the dust on his buttocks, walked to the outside of the temple and turned over on his horse.

Gu An looked back at the broken bronze statue and went out of the temple to get on the horse.

The horse's hooves wrapped in the wet soil after the rain galloped away.

An hour later, the low city wall engraved with the three big characters of Qinghe Town came into view.

The mayor, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him.

"Alas, the two adults are here. ”

"There was a sudden heavy rain on the road, which delayed the time. ”

Qin Li and Gu An dismounted, and soon someone came up to lead them to the stable.

"Let's go see the deceased first, and after we are sure that we have committed suicide, we can bury them. ”

"Yes, two adults, please. ”

After a stick of incense, Gu An and Qin Li followed the mayor to a small farmhouse courtyard.

Open the courtyard and enter the house.

A corpse covered with a white cloth on the ground came into Gu An's sight.

Yesterday, someone in Qinghe Town went to the county yamen to report the case, saying that a gambler in the town was overwhelmed and hanged himself in the house.

After the town's appraisal was confirmed, it was determined to be a suicide.

But after all, human life is at stake, and the most basic process still has to be followed.

The county government sent Qin Li and Gu An to verify, and if it was determined that it was a suicide, it could be closed and buried.

Qin Li walked to the side of the corpse, and didn't care about anything, he directly lifted the white cloth, observed the deceased with his hands, and pinched his tongue.

"The corpse's face was bruised, his tongue bone was broken, and his limbs were cold...... Lower body**;Up and down the body, the bones are intact, and there are no other wounds, it is determined that he hanged himself, and the case can be closed. ”

After Qin Li checked it, he stood up and said to the mayor.

"Thank you, two adults, for what has been determined, and for bothering the two of you to run so far. ”

"It's okay, it's just a routine. ”

While the two were talking, a scolding suddenly came from outside.

"It's really unlucky, Lao Tzu's ten taels of silver flew like this!"

Gu An followed the prestige.

A rugged man with a long scar on his face was standing outside the courtyard gate with a displeasure on his face.

Hearing that the arrester came to handle this case, many townspeople in the town who were okay leaned over and wanted to hear what the county government had to say.

"Who is that person?" asked Gu An softly.

"Tao San, these ten miles and eight towns are all his. The mayor said, looked at the corpse on the ground again, and sighed: "Li Xin's money was also borrowed from his field. ”

"What realm is he?"

"Ahh ”

The mayor didn't know why Gu An asked such a question, but he still said truthfully.

Gu An nodded and didn't say anything more.

With so many fields, the triple quenching can't be managed......

Qin Li took a step forward and said in a cold voice: "The deceased has passed away, so let's accumulate some virtue." ”

Tao San's face was cold: "You are a little fast, you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a middle-aged man in a black robe and holding a long sword in his hand stopped him.

"Hmph. ”

With a cold snort and a flick of his robe, Tao San turned around and walked away.

The black-robed man arched his hand at Qin Li and Gu An and chased after Tao San.

The person just now is not simple......

Gu An's keen intuition told him.

When the townsfolk outside the door saw this, they also left.

The mayor of the town glanced at the sky: "It's not early this day, it's not safe in the wilderness at night, so it's better for the two adults to stay in the town for one night and leave tomorrow." ”

Qin Li looked at Gu An, and Gu An bowed.

"I'm annoying the mayor. ”

"Eh, don't worry. ”

Later, the mayor of the town called several young men in the town to carry Li Xin to a place not far from Qinghe Town, and buried him safely.

......

Whew~~~

The weather was hot in summer, so the windows in the room where Gu An and Qin Li slept were also open, so that a cool breeze blew in from outside the house from time to time to relieve the heat.

Whew~woo~~

The wind, for some reason, is strong.

With a slight chill to the bone, it flows into the house.

Stampede~~

The faint sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, and under the quiet night, it was extremely strange.

passed Gu An's bed and walked inside.

Gu An, who hadn't fully fallen asleep since a month ago, suddenly opened his eyes.

Quickly pull out the long knife from under the pillow and turn over and slash it!
