Qingfeng Town is a small town, the people here are simple, and the officials who govern the town are all clean officials who love the people like children and have clean sleeves. That's why the town is called "Breeze Town". There is an inn in this town called "Jia's Inn", although the name is a little rustic, but this inn is the most famous in this town. As soon as you look at this signboard, you can see that the owner of this inn is surnamed Jia. Although the boss's surname is "Jia", he does his duty to do business, and all the ingredients are genuine, and Tong Su is not deceived. Naturally, the business of the small shop is also booming.

"Welcome, Guest"

"Guest, your food will be coming soon."

"Guest, you are good to go, welcome to come again next time"

Today, there are a lot of guests at Jia's Inn. The shopkeeper was busy shuttling between the various tables, smiling, and attentive and thoughtful service. Boss Jia shouted to the shopkeeper: "Xiao Ze, quickly bring this wine to the guests at the table on the second floor." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Ze went to the second floor with the wine.

When I got to the second floor, before I entered the door, I heard people in the house talking in a low voice:

"You don't know yet, Qingshui Town, next to our town, has killed more than a dozen people in the past month......"

"Ahh With so many people dead, why haven't we heard about it? ”

"It's the big man of Qingshui Town who blocked the news, if anyone says it, everyone will lose their heads, who dares to say it."

"And how do you know? Besides, is it necessary to block the news externally? ”

"My eldest cousin is from the yamen, he told me secretly. Brothers, keep it a secret! Asked why the news was blocked? You've got to guess how those people died? ”

"How did they all die?" Several people whispered at the same time.

The people inside lowered their voices a little more, which aroused Xiao Ze's curiosity, and in order to hear what the people in the room were saying, he covered his ears with his hands and eavesdropped.

"Why don't you take it in yet?" Xiao Ze was frightened by the sudden voice, and when he looked back, he didn't know when Boss Jia was standing beside him, staring at him with sideways eyes. When he saw that the boss was coming, he grinned awkwardly, immediately brought the wine in, and then ran downstairs as if he were flying.

It was getting dark, the inn was closed, Xiao Ze dragged his tired body, and was ready to go home. When he was halfway there, a gust of cold wind blew by, and he shivered and quickened his pace. As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, as soon as I opened the door, a flute sound floated into my ears, and the sound of the flute was like crying and complaining, and it was mournful and moving.

"Jiong Yan, are you thinking about your father again?" Xiao Ze asked the piper softly. The sound of the flute stopped abruptly.

"For two hundred years, there is not a single day that I have not missed him." Jiong Yan looked at Xiao Ze, his eyes seemed to be black and bright with ink, but there was an incomprehensible melancholy in his eyes.

"Like you, I've missed my dad and grandpa for more than two hundred years." The two shared the nostalgia for their families.

"Alas! Back in the beginning, my father injected his demon pill into my body in order to save me. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have perished. Jiongyan's eyes were red.

"Nothing is more important to parents than their children. Don't worry, as long as you find the 'Soul Purifier', you can make the Great Demon Demon Owl scatter, and at that time, this can be regarded as avenging your father." Xiao Ze patted Jiong Yan's shoulder and comforted.

"But we've been looking for more than 200 years, and there hasn't been a single response to this bead." Jiong Yan pointed to the beads worn around Xiao Ze's neck, frowned, and said anxiously.

Xiao Ze was not in a hurry, his grandfather Xiao Lao sealed Xiaotian in the Imperial Demon Bead at the cost of his own life. But if you want Xiaotian to disappear completely, you have to find the "Soul Purifier", otherwise, Xiaotian will one day break through the seal and cause trouble in the world again. And the arduous task of finding a "soul purifier" fell on Xiao Ze. Before Xiao Lao died, he and the other five elders injected all the remaining spiritual power into Xiao Ze's blood, and because of the aura in the blood, the blood became spiritual blood. With spiritual blood, the human body will be immortal, immortal, and immortal. This also means that Xiao Ze is no longer an ordinary person. All we do is to find the "Soul Purifier". But now for more than two hundred years, the shadow of the "Soul Purifier" has not been seen, and Xiao Ze is anxious.

"Alas," the two of them sighed at the sky, silently praying in their hearts that they could find the "Soul Purifier" as soon as possible.

The next day, Xiao Ze came to the inn early, and as usual, stood by the door waiting for the guest officer. From a distance, I saw a group of people running in the direction of the inn, they looked hurried, and shouted as they walked: "Go to the river and see, there are dead people." Qingfeng Town has always had simple folk customs, and the neighbors get along fairly well, and there are few fights. Now that they were dead, the news made the whole town explode, and everyone flocked to the river.

The river has long been guarded by officials. He is also looking at the body of the deceased.

"Oops, what a terrible death"

"It's too weird to die."

"What is the method of killing people that can make people die like this?"

The people around were whispering. Xiao Ze also glanced at the body of the deceased: the body was as dry as a bundle of wood. The skin of the whole body was wrinkled like tree bark, the deceased's facial features had been deformed, there were no obvious wounds on the corpse, and there was no blood flowing out, and the whole corpse was full of weirdness.

"There are monsters, there must be monsters!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted in terror. At this shout, everyone was shocked and panicked.

"It's nonsense, there are no demons in this world at all!" An official said as he walked towards the crowd, and he pointed to the crowd and shouted: "If you talk nonsense here again, be careful that your lord will deal with your evil words and confuse the people, and put you all in prison!" In an instant, everyone kept their mouths shut. The body was carried away by the officials. Everyone also dispersed.

Xiao Ze also returned to the inn and continued to be busy.

"Boss, hurry up and have a pot of wine and two side dishes." As soon as Xiao Ze heard the voice, he immediately concluded that these were the guest officers on the second floor last time.

"Okay! Xiao Ze, you quickly take a few guest officers to the second floor. Boss Jia looked like a regular customer, and his face bloomed with a smile. Xiao Ze also served diligently.

After Xiao Ze delivered the wine and food to these guest officers, he leaned against the wall to rest. Several guest officers inside the door chatted while eating

"What do you think of this murder?"

"Weird!"

"The death of this deceased is exactly the same as that of those who died in Qingshui Town, as if they were sucked dry by something and died, tsk, it's terrifying, it is estimated that there will be another one." One of the guest officers spoke worriedly.

"Shhh, don't talk nonsense, be careful to spread it to the government, we will have to go to jail at that time." A guest officer reminded in a low voice, and then the sound of drinking and punching came from inside the room.

"Xiao Er, settle the bill" Xiao Ze heard that someone downstairs wanted to settle the bill, so he immediately ran downstairs.

The inn was closed, and after Xiao Ze returned home, he didn't bother to drink a sip of water, and immediately talked about this strange thing to Jiong Yan. After hearing this, Jiong Yan also felt that this murder case was full of strangeness. The two analyzed with great interest for a while, and then rested separately.

"Ah......hh Dead" A woman's scream broke the silence of the early morning, Xiao Ze was walking towards the inn, suddenly heard a miserable shout, immediately stopped, looking for the sound to find the house. The outer garden of the house had long been surrounded by people, and Xiao Ze stood on tiptoe and saw through the cracks in the people: a woman in the garden was sitting on the ground supported by several women, her eyes glazed. There were dead people lying on the ground. The death of the deceased was exactly the same as that of the deceased by the river. While everyone was talking about the deceased, a group of officials came in from outside the door, and after seeing the corpses, a small officer reported to their heads: "Boss, this is the fifth victim." When the people heard this, they were terrified, and the discussion grew louder and louder. The head of the official noticed the change in everyone's mood, and after reassuring them for a few words, he carried the corpse and left. The crowd was still talking.

Xiao Ze also left and slowly came to the inn.

"Xiao Ze, why are you so late today?" Boss Jia asked with a long face. Xiao Ze told Boss Jia about the murders he encountered on the way. Boss Jia flipped through the account book at the counter and said indifferently: "It's not our turn to worry about the murder. This is an inn, and what we should worry about is how to attract visitors from all over the world. ”

"Boss, let's have a side dish." Boss Jia looked at it, yo, there was a visitor, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Guest officer, please in the house, Xiao Ze, hurry up and prepare side dishes for the guest officer." Xiao Ze was still immersed in the case at the moment, and he didn't pay much attention to the fact that there were already visitors to the inn.

When Boss Jia saw that Xiao Ze was still sitting on the stool in a daze, he immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Xiao Ze! This sound is enough to cross the entire street, Xiao Ze was shocked by this sound and fell off the stool, hurriedly got up to see that there was a visitor standing next to the counter, so he greeted him with a smile, stretched out his right hand to the door, and said to the guest officer enthusiastically and politely: "Guest officer, please go slowly, come back next time." Then he looked at the guest officer, the guest officer was stunned, and the second monk muttered, "I haven't eaten yet, just let me go?" ”

After Xiao Ze heard this, he "chuckled" in his heart, and immediately understood that he would say the wrong thing wrongly, and then looked at Boss Jia, Boss Jia's gloomy face was covered with dark clouds, and his eyes contained a trace of "murderous aura".

"Ahh......h Cough...... That one...... Sorry for the misunderstanding, you have something inside. Xiao Ze smiled awkwardly and made amends, and immediately greeted the guest officer attentively.

Xiao Ze's mind was full of corpses and murders all day long, and he was absent-minded when he worked, either making the wrong dish or breaking the cup. Boss Jia's face has been gloomy today, and he has raised his eyebrows and stared at Xiao Ze, staring at him so much that his eyes are about to burst into flames. If it weren't for Xiao Ze's usual good performance, it is estimated that he would let Xiao Ze roll up and leave now.

After a busy day, Xiao Ze returned home and told Jiong Yan about today's events, and after a good analysis at home, the two agreed that this case is unusual!
