Chapter 366: Bats, Pigs?...... Bat Pig? (2-in-1)
Li Qiu's father in this life is named Li Xiuzhi, a famous businessman in the area of Lintong County, and his business covers half of Lintong County.
It is inevitable that businessmen will have to get through the joints and make friends with officials in various places.
Li Xiuzhi knows a lot of officials, plus he is a local wealthy businessman, and the Yangcheng County Order also needs to give a few thin noodles.
If what Old Man Guo said is true, the monster matter will definitely not let ordinary people know, and even if it is just that too many people have died, it will inevitably cause panic among the people, and the news may be blocked.
The carriage soon came to the north of the city, and the sound of the wheels crushing the remnants of snow disappeared.
It was inhabited entirely by wealthy families, and the roads were cleaned by servants.
The houses occupy a wide area, and when you look over the high walls, you can see the magnificent pavilions and pavilions on the eaves of the courtyard.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of an old-fashioned mansion.
The antique plaque has the word Li Fu written on it.
The two stone lions in front of the door are finely carved, lifelike, the atmosphere is mighty, and the town house is guarded.
The Li family did not make a fortune in Li Xiuzhi's generation, but has been in business for generations, and it has been a wealthy family a few generations ago, and this mansion is the ancestral home of the Li family.
Li Qiu and Li Si got out of the carriage and were about to enter the mansion.
On the other side, in the direction of the back door of the mansion, a carriage came and slowly stopped in front of the door.
The curtain was lifted, and a man in his twenties and thirties, with a white face and beard, and an elegant temperament, was wearing a Confucian robe and a white fox fur.
"Big brother. ”
Li Qiu turned around and said hello.
"The eldest prince. Li Si shouted respectfully.
Li Xiuzhi has two sons, the eldest son is named Li Ji, who was born with high hopes by Li Xiuzhi, hoping to study and become an official, enter the official career, and shine on the lintel.
This is also the expectation that several generations of businessmen generally have, businessmen seem to enjoy the scenery, but in fact they have a low status, and are despised by the world, they all want their descendants to change their origins, and if they want to change their origins, they can only study and become officials.
Li Ji has read poetry and books since he was a child, is full of economy, is elegant and modest, and has been admitted to Xiucai in the first two years.
The second son's name is Li Ping, born seven or eight years later than Li Ji, the younger son generally receives more love than the eldest son, Li Xiuzhi does not ask the second son to have much interest, just hopes that he can live a peaceful life.
Li Ping is the reincarnated Li Qiu.
The family's hopes are pinned on Li Ji, and there is no doubt that it is unfair to him.
But Li Ji did not complain at all, and loved Li Qiu's younger brother since he was a child.
In the carriage, Li Ji asked.
"Second brother, where are you coming from?"
"Back to the eldest brother, I went to the teahouse and listened to a book. ”
"If you want to listen to books, you can invite the storyteller to your home, it is the cold season, it is better to go out less, the carriage is in and out, one is cold and one is hot, it is easy to catch the wind cold. Li Ji frowned.
"Yes, the second brother saved. Li Qiu arched his hand.
"Big brother, where are you going?"
"Go buy a few books. ”
With that, Li Ji lowered the curtain and drove the carriage to the side.
Buying books on the street is a common thing for Li Ji.
Li Qiu nodded, turned around and entered the house with Li Si.
took some silver money for Li Si as a stepping stone to inquire about things.
Li Si took the silver money and left the house to go to the yamen.
With a charcoal stove and a warm house, Li Qiu looked at the source power panel in front of him.
Source force: 108000
The 27th Floor of the Great Day Oven (Lift)
Just as he had guessed before, there was no such thing as Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in this world, and the way of refining Qi could not be cultivated in this world.
In the same way, if there is no Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, it is not possible to borrow the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to temper the flesh refining body.
However, without pretending to become stronger with external forces, you can still practice.
Since he was born nineteen years ago, he has raised the Great Sun Oven True Sutra all the way to the twenty-seventh layer, consuming more than 10,000 source power, and there are still 108,000 source power left.
The Great Sun Oven True Scripture has been raised to the twenty-seventh floor, and the power of self-preservation is enough, and he does not plan to continue to improve it for the time being.
The remaining 108,000 points of source power are reserved for the use of the main cultivation system of this world.
He wants to stand at the pinnacle of this world in order to transcend this world, how can he do it without practicing the cultivation exercises of this life.
It's a pity that in the past nineteen years, he hasn't come into contact with the cultivation system of this world, and he hasn't figured out a way to obtain source power.
Li Qiu guessed that the way to obtain the source power might be related to the cultivation system of this world, as long as the cultivators of this world came into contact, the way to obtain the source power might not be far away.
"This time, I got some possible clues from Old Man Guo. ”
"If you don't get anything out this time, it's time to get ready to go on a long trip. ”
Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly, and he secretly made a decision in his heart.
In this life, the body has grown up, even if you go out to travel, it is okay.
He didn't believe that he would not be able to find cultivators in this world when he traveled all over the world.
Half an hour later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Childe, I'm back. ”
Li Si's voice came from outside the door.
Call!
The door opened, and there was a whimpering sound outside the door, Li Si hurriedly closed the door and walked into the inner room.
Li Si's nose was red, his body was trembling, his hands were shrunk in his sleeves, and he was not lightly frozen.
The servants went out without a carriage to sit on, and had to go forward against the cold wind.
Li Qiu took a miscellaneous book that recorded legends and anecdotes from all over the world, leaned on the bed, glanced at him, and pointed to the charcoal stove in the house.
"Move a chair and sit down. ”
"Huh. ”
Li Si nodded in response, moved a chair with a smile, and sat by the charcoal stove.
"How did I ask you to ask?"
Li Qiu asked.
"Hui Gongzi, there are indeed dead people outside the city, and there are quite a few dead, there are twenty or thirty people. ”
Li Si's expression turned serious.
"The most important thing is that it has not stopped to this day, and it is still dying. ”
"How do the people from the county government explain?"
"It is said that there are murderous murderers with martial arts who have wandered to our area. ”
Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly.
If this matter is really done by monsters, there are only a few reasons why the county government can cover up this matter, and it is not surprising that there are only a few, either robbers and robbers, or wandering murderers.
However, it is also possible that this incident was not deliberately covered up by the county government, but it is the case.
What the truth is, it's best to take a look at the corpses or ......
"The county government said that people are still dying every day?"
"Yes. ”
"Where?"
"The area around Zhaojia Village outside the city. ”
Li Qiu nodded.
"You've done a good job, go down. ”
Li Si wanted to speak and stopped, and finally said.
"Childe, if you want to do something, you might as well let Feng Huyuan go with you. ”
He always felt that Li Qiu asked these things more than just curiosity.
It stands to reason that he, as a subordinate, shouldn't talk much, but he is also afraid that something will happen to Li Qiu.
Feng Huyuan is a martial artist hired by Li Xiuzhi with a lot of money, with a hand of Jinpeng knife technique, fierce and fierce water splashing, the knife qi can shoot several zhang to kill people in the air, and a martial arts is not a weak person even if you look at the rivers and lakes.
If he had been with him, even if he had met the murderer who had wandered to the vicinity of Yangcheng, nothing would have happened.
"I see. Li Qiu waved his hand.
Li Si left.
Li Qiu was the only one left in the room.
"Feng Nursing Yuan ......"
His information about the martial arts of this world came from him, and his strength was not considered a strong person even in the second life he had experienced.
"I hope it's not a rogue murderer who makes my work in vain. ”
Li Qiu muttered in his mouth.
Late at night, the moon is in the middle of the sky.
During the day, the howling cold wind is even more intense, and the sound of whimpering is like a ghost crying at night, which makes people shudder.
The temperature also dropped suddenly, to the point where the dripping water turned into ice.
At this time, if an ordinary person is drunk and falls into the snow, it will not take an hour to freeze people to death.
Li Qiu casually wore a brocade robe, quietly left the Li Mansion, and went out of the city.
The cold wind was blowing, but for him who had reached the twenty-seventh layer of the Great Sun Oven Sutra, it was no different from the spring breeze.
It's a pity that in this life, there is no way to practice the way of refining qi, and the means to fly in the clouds are gone.
Walking on the ground is not as fast and effortless as flying.
"I hope that the cultivation system in this world has the means to allow people to fly in the air. ”
Li Qiu said with hope in his heart.
In a blink of an eye, I came to the vicinity of Zhaojia Village outside the city.
In the moonlight, on a large tree covered with silver frost.
Li Qiu stood with his arms folded, his eyes closed, listening to any movement within a mile, the cold wind howling had no effect on him at all.
In the distance, a quiet mountain village with a few lights faintly lit.
At this time, the reasonable person was already asleep.
Obviously, there is something abnormal about this Zhaojia Village.
I'm afraid that something will attack in the middle of the night, so I didn't turn off the lights and went to bed for a long time.
In Zhaojia Village, in a dimly lit room.
Several county officials are here, they look nervous, and they don't dare to breathe, listening carefully to the movement outside the window, and from time to time their eyes look at the other side of the room in awe.
A man in black sat at the table, with a long sword next to his right hand, his expression was indifferent, his eyes were cold, and he was drinking tea in one gulp.
A few days ago, someone died in the area of Zhaojia Village.
The corpse was shriveled, with four blood holes in the neck, and the blood in the whole body seemed to be sucked dry by some monster.
Experienced and experienced people can see that the wound is similar to that made by bats, but it is a little bigger.
But how big a bat can make people resist and escape, and can suck the blood of several people in one go.
Their county government hurriedly reported it, and the county immediately sent someone who specialized in dealing with this kind of thing down, and followed them to Zhaojia Village, preparing to ambush the monster that was wantonly murderous.
Before coming, the man was afraid that they would not obey the order, so he deliberately showed them a hand as a deterrent, and cut several big trees with a sword across more than ten zhang, and the fracture was extremely smooth, which was terrifying.
They are also people who have practiced martial arts, but they seem to be people from two worlds.
This hand made their hearts even more fearful.
How terrifying it must be to have such a powerful master to deal with a monster!
Didn't they come to die?
"The monster is still in the future, and the courage has been broken. ”
Geng Qi put down the teacup and shook his head slightly, he also noticed that his sword seemed to have the opposite effect.
"Well, they don't need to do anything after that, as long as they don't mess with me. ”
He actually told Yangcheng County Commander that he only needed to come to Zhaojia Village by himself.
But Yangcheng County Commander said that you can't let your adults be in danger alone, and the county government must follow you.
Thinking that these catchers could act as eyes and ears, and shouting to warn him when the monster came, he agreed.
In the past two days, strong winds have been howling, which has greatly affected hearing.
Now he could just detect the movement around the small courtyard.
When a monster comes, someone must scream and warn.
Outside Zhaojia Village, on a big tree.
"I didn't expect it to come from heaven. ”
Li Qiu suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the night sky in the distance.
He was mainly concerned with the movement on the earth, and almost ignored the heavens.
It can be heard that the "thing" that comes is flapping its wings and flying, and the key size is extremely large, unlike any bird or beast.
"Is it a strange beast?"
Li Qiu looked suspicious.
He thought that in his first life, if he wanted to obtain the source power, he would need to kill alien beasts that were larger than their size and eat their flesh.
Could it be that after a turn, the source force's request returned to the alien beast.
He frowned slightly, locked on the sound, looked into the night sky in the distance, and gradually saw the face of the comer, but his pupils shrank, and a little strangeness appeared on his face.
"What is this?"
"A flying pig, a bat that looks like a pig?
...... Bat Pig?"
But in the cold wind of the night sky, a black shadow flapped its huge bat wings and flew over.
If you can't see it clearly, you must think it's a huge bat.
But if you look closely, you can find that except for the pair of bats about two or three feet long, this monster looks more like a bat than a pig.
The body of a normal bat is more like a mouse, but this monster is almost like a pig without the outside of the bat's wings.
More precisely, a domestic pig covered in black fur like a bat.
The monster that looked like a pig and a bat didn't notice Li Qiu, and flew straight to Zhaojia Village with a familiar car.
Li Qiu didn't catch up immediately.
I just sensed something interesting in this village.
It seemed that someone had arrived before him, waiting specifically to ambush the monster.
In the dimly lit room, a terrifying and piercing scream suddenly came from outside the room, and even though the cold wind was howling, it did not cover it.
"It's an instinctive scream of fear! It's not the same as the first time I said I would take the initiative to shout a warning!"
Geng Qi shook his head, a cold glint appeared in his eyes, he grabbed the long sword beside the table, flew out of the house with one step, broke into the cold wind, and made a few leaps, rushing towards the direction where the sound came from.
The other headhunters in the room had just stood up.
In the moonlight, I saw a huge black shadow, flapping its wings suspended in the air, and its hideous head covered with black hair was buried in a fast-catching neck, as if it was sucking something.
A few catchers on the ground looked up into the air, their faces pale, their legs trembling, and their hands holding knives trembling.
The body of the fast catcher becomes shriveled at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The black shadow raised his head and threw the drained catcher to the ground.
Geng Qi was also slightly stunned when he saw the appearance of the black shadow, but when he thought that after he joined the division not long ago, the seniors who had joined the division earlier told him that some monsters looked very weird, so don't panic when you see them, give the monsters a chance.
He immediately said in his heart, shouted coldly, and drew his sword out of its sheath!
"Monsters are killed!"
The razor-sharp sword qi the size of a zhang and shaped like a crescent moon broke through the air and killed!
The next moment, it seemed as if the monster was about to be split in two by the sword qi.
The monster flying in mid-air let out a sharp and strange roar, and the huge bat wings fanned, the air exploded, and the body flashed in an instant as if it was teleporting.
The sword qi flew away, directly cutting off a corner of the house opposite!
The rest of the catchers saw this scene and looked stunned.
Although they had seen Geng Qi's strength before, this kind of scene, no matter how many times they watched it, was still shocking.
"It's so fast!"
Geng Qi's face was ugly.
Even if his sword qi could even cut through the gold and iron, what was the use of not hitting it!
Geng Qi jumped and swung his sword, the sword qi burst out, and more than a dozen sword qi attacked the monster like a storm!
In mid-air, the monster flashed its bat wings, but it dodged them all.
There were more than a dozen sword qis, and I didn't even touch the edge of it.
In the cold wind, a layer of fine beads of sweat oozed from Geng Qi's forehead.
