Zhou Lezi didn't find anything there, there was no wound on the surface of the corpse, and it seemed that he was really killed by practice.

But Xia Ji knew that it would never be so simple.

Xia Ji hugged the painting and returned home.

I studied the painting until it was dark, but I still had no clue.

It seems that this mission will not be completed.

Xia Ji hung the painting on the head of the bed, and saw that the painting was cloudy, and just a glance at it made people feel uncomfortable.

Xia Ji felt that his scalp was a little itchy, and he thought that it was better to hang it farther away, so he took off the painting and hung it behind the door.

Xia Ji was lying on the bed, feeling a little depressed in the room, and after lying for a while, he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Xia Ji checked the consciousness space, called up the order sign, and said to the green head: "Green head, can you give some hints?" ”

The green head shook and pointed to the painting hanging behind the door.

The egg hurts!

Of course, Xia Ji knew that the clue was the painting, but when he looked left and right, he couldn't see anything wrong with the painting!

……

In the second half of the night, a wave of sleepiness hit.

I don't know how long it took, Xia Ji was half asleep and half awake, and suddenly felt a little strange.

There seemed to be a cold wind blowing on his arm, and Xia Jimeng snorted and retracted his arm back into the bed.

Suddenly, a glimmer of clarity in my mind told me that something was wrong.

The doors and windows are closed, so where does this cold wind come from?

This thought was like a basin of cold water head-on, which instantly made Xia Ji sleepy.

Xia opened his eyes violently, and he caught a glimpse of what seemed to be something next to the pillow.

Xia Ji wanted to see clearly, but was horrified to find that his body couldn't move, he couldn't move a finger, and he couldn't even open his eyelids.

Ghost press?!

The more Xia Ji struggled, the more difficult he felt to breathe, as if there was an invisible net enveloping him, and the net was getting tighter and tighter, and he felt that his life was losing little by little.

"Ahh

Xia Da screamed, plucked up all his strength, and his body, which was originally unable to move, suddenly sat up straight, and the lightning shot out of his palm, and slapped at a black shadow next to the pillow.

Syllable!

Something seemed to have been smashed.

Removing his palm, Xia Ji finally saw clearly.

It was a black beetle, and the slapped corpse of the insect bloomed in a bloody flower on the bed sheet.

It turned out to be just bugs......

Xia Ji thought it was a false alarm, and then felt that something was wrong.

This does not seem to be an ordinary bug, the worm mouth is spiral-shaped, and the slender and dense green claws are curled like flower petals.

This is......

Xia Ji suddenly realized something, this worm claw was exactly the same as the green nails of the water dragon.

Could it be that the so-called water worm is actually this bug?

Xia Ji wanted to pick up the insect and take a closer look, but the strange thing was that the insect corpse slowly disappeared, leaving no trace, as if it had been sucked away by a black hole.

At this time, Xia Ji instinctively sensed that there were other threats indoors.

Xia Ji picked up the bedside knife and stared at the corner of the west wall with calm eyes.

Strangely, the corner of the wall was empty, and there was nothing suspicious, but Xia Ji seemed to recognize that there was something there.

"Where is the demon, don't show your original form quickly!" Xia Ji said lightly.

"Boy, you are looking for death by yourself, and you dare to talk to me like this."

As he spoke, a woman with a sallow face slowly emerged in the shadows of the corner.

Through the faint moonlight through the window, Xia Ji saw her appearance clearly, it was Yueniang.

"Who the hell are you? Why? Xia Ji said.

"Boy, if it weren't for the fact that I still have something to ask you, you'd be dead."

Yueniang smiled, pointed to the painting of the lonely island castle behind the door, and asked, "Where did you get this painting?" ”

Xia Ji thought to himself, there is really something wrong with this painting.

"This is my painting, it has nothing to do with you." Xia Ji said.

"It's mine now, people are cheap skin and cheap meat, it seems that you have to use some means before you are willing to speak."

After Yueniang finished speaking, her left hand reached out, and she grabbed Xia Ji's single knife.

Xia Ji flipped his wrist and slashed Yueniang's fingers like lightning with a single knife.

Yueniang couldn't win it, she was secretly surprised, and immediately changed her tricks to brush Xia Ji's wrist.

This technique is so wonderful that it is so fast that it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.

Xia Ji was hit by the strength of his wrist, and he couldn't hold it with a single knife, so he threw it out.

As soon as she landed, Yueniang grazed her cheek with a single knife and nailed it to the wooden door.

Yueniang was a little surprised, this young man's martial arts skills are low, but he is alert and agile, and he is extremely fast, he can't hold the knife, and he can still throw it.

If you take it for granted that you have dropped the knife and dodge it a little later, you will inevitably be hit.

Taking advantage of Yueniang's stunned moment, Xia Ji walked to the door and wanted to pull out the knife.

Yueniang was angry in her heart, this young man actually regarded himself as nothing, and slammed his palm out, the palm wind was fierce, the palm power had not arrived, and the wind had reached.

Xia Ji was a little stunned, and with a snort, he also slapped her palm.

I only heard a sound of beeping, and the two strands of force stirred each other.

Xia Ji took a step back and took the opportunity to pull out a single knife in his hand.

Yueniang's face was pale, and she turned her palms to check, and there were faint burning marks on the flesh, and then disappeared.

Yueniang only felt incredible, this seemed to be the characteristic of Heiyangong, but this young man obviously only learned Heiyangong today, why is his skill as if he has practiced for twenty or thirty years?

At this time, Xia Ji did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Although he had made two moves with the enemy and did not gain the upper hand, Xia Ji judged that his combat power was far inferior to that of his opponent, and if the opponent became serious, he would probably not be able to beat him.

Yueniang's face was a little more solemn, and suddenly she squeezed her two fingers, and a strong air flow. Shoot out.

With a snort, one of Xia Ji's sleeves had been cut off by invisible energy.

Xia was taken aback, this girl can still release her internal strength, this is cultivating immortals?

Xia Ji was not emotional, although he had cut off his sleeves, he still had that stiff face.

However, in Yueniang's eyes, she was not shocked, but had a little more admiration.

"What, if you don't explain the origin of the painting, the next finger will fall on your head." Yueniang said.

Xia Ji didn't know what to do for a while, looking at the attitude of this girl, this painting should be something extremely important, and she was bound to kill people.

It is impossible to surrender if you surrender, you can't fight and you can't fight, even if you play extraordinarily.

When he was in a hurry, there was a sudden knock on the wooden door.

The situation was unknown, Yueniang hesitated slightly, and chose to retreat into the shadow of the corner of the wall, and then talk about it after observing and understanding.

"Senior Brother Xia, I asked you to investigate the woman's affairs, how did the investigation go?" A petite figure burrowed into the room, it was the little junior sister Han Yun.

Xia Ji smiled bitterly, the woman you want to check is here, and you still want to kill someone.

"Senior brother, why don't you speak, I know that I can't do it without money to arrest and investigate the case, so I brought a hundred taels of silver, do you think it's enough? Don't tell my dad! Han Yun took out a silver ticket.

Suddenly, Han Yun stayed where he was, wanting to turn back but not daring to turn back.

A slender hand slowly pressed against Han Yun's neck from behind, and the sharp nails slid across the skin like steel blades, cold and piercing.

"Little girl, curiosity kills people, you know?" Yueniang sneered.

"Why embarrass the child, let her go, I have explained everything you want to hear." Xia Ji said.

"You're a pity." Yueniang threw a wink and let go of Han Yun.

Han Yun was so frightened that his legs were weak, but he still mustered up all his strength, ran behind Xia Ji, and only poked out his head and looked at Yueniang.

"Tell me, how did you get this painting?" Yueniang said.

Xia Ji was thinking about how to deal with the past, when the door rang again.

Yueniang heard the sound of the door and hid in the shadows in the corner again.

Xia Ji couldn't help but have a little headache, there are really a lot of guests tonight.

Xia Ji asked Han Yun to hide under the bed, and then went to open the door.

"Xia Zhutou, you haven't slept yet, come out to talk." A stocky young man stood in the doorway, his tone rather rude and rude.

The character information popped up on the paper, and Xia Ji recognized it as Zuo Hao's son Zuo Fu, and he was also the arrester of the Yamen.

During the day, he pushed Zuo Hao into the water, and his son came to him at night, it must be no good thing.

Compared with the Yueniang in the house, Xia Ji would rather deal with Zuo Hao and his gang.

But if Xia Ji goes out with Zuo Fu, Yueniang will most likely obstruct it.

Xia Ji thought for a moment and said, "What about your father?" ”

I heard a person outside the door say loudly: "Little cub Xia, do you want to hide in the house as a turtle with a shrunken head?" Come out obediently. ”

It was Zuo Hao's voice, and there were a few people laughing next to him.

Xia Ji knew that Zuo Hao was by no means alone, and it seemed that in order to avenge the fall into the water, he invited a lot of helpers.

"Zuo Hao, we are all from the yamen, what do you dare to do to me?" Xia Ji said.

"So what, today is Xiu Mu, the county lord went to the countryside, and no one knows about killing you, just push it to the water dragon."

Zuo Hao poured into the house with three people, all armed with swords and swords.

They all stared at Xia Ji, and no one noticed Yueniang in the corner for a while.

Xia Ji had a headache, first a tigress, and then a group of wolves, I really didn't know how to deal with it.
