There was a cool breeze outside the window, and there was a drizzle in front of the door.

It was late at night, and although Shen Lin and the others had completed their task, they didn't need to go back in the rain when they encountered such weather, so they prepared to spend the night here.

Arrange for people to keep vigil, tell them to brace themselves and not let their guard down, and Shen Lin teaches the reservists little by little survival skills when they are away from home.

The bonfire crackled, Liu Xiu borrowed a kettle from Shen Lin and them, and put a pair of potions in the kettle to simmer on the bonfire.

"Liu Gongzi, what are you ......" Seeing Liu Xiu boiling medicine, Shen Lin was stunned, what kind of medicine is boiling? Liu Xiu didn't look like she was sick.

Liu Xiu said calmly: "This, nourishing"

"Oh......" Shen Lin looked at Liu Xiu with a strange look on his face and nodded thoughtfully, and did not ask in depth.

fell asleep by the bonfire, and the night was very peaceful, but because of the posture, Liu Xiu woke up the next morning and crackled when he moved slightly.

It's not going to grow longer, is it? I'm 1.85 meters above all this standard......

Talking to himself, Liu Xiu didn't alarm the other crooked people, and took the medicine outside to take it and practice the body to soothe the body.

I don't know when the spring rain has stopped overnight, after the new rain in the empty mountain, the morning air is exceptionally clear, the dew drops are a little gusting of morning wind, and the sky is covered with fish belly white, it seems that it is a good weather again.

Shen Lin in the house was awakened by Liu Xiu's movements, and saw that the people around him who were on duty at night were asleep, and secretly scolded the young man for being unreliable, and he didn't alarm them, and subconsciously looked up at Liu Xiu outside the door.

After a glance, Shen Lin quickly looked away, although Liu Xiu did not shy away from it, it was taboo to peek at other people's cultivation, and Shen Lin would not make such a low-level mistake.

Liu Xiu didn't care about Shen Lin's actions, he was silent in the practice of self-cultivation, the purple light in his eyes was shining, and when he breathed in, the red sun slowly rising in the sky had purple clouds invisible to the naked eye across the endless space, and disappeared into his mouth and nose.

Liu Xiu himself didn't know about these, and the old Taoist priest who taught him this set of self-cultivation skills didn't say anything about it.

After several rounds of self-cultivation, the medicine was completely absorbed, Liu Xiu stopped his movements refreshed, and there was a small puddle in the yard, the water in it was very clear, and he squatted on the side to wash.

At this time, all the others also woke up, and Shen Lin arranged for them to go hunting and cooking.

I don't know where the body of the poisonous lady was gotten by them, Liu Xiu didn't ask, and after eating with them, they parted ways, Shen Lin and they want to go back, and Liu Xiu has to continue the next journey.

"Head, how do you feel that you are restless, is there something wrong?" On the way to Linjiang City, a member of the reserve looked at Shen Lin and asked curiously.

Shen Lin was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No...... It's all right."

The others looked at each other, and then some people squeezed their eyebrows and said silently with their mouths, wouldn't they be thinking about women? Also, this has been out for many days......

"What are you thinking, I just feel that something has been neglected, but I can't remember it for a while" Shen Lin didn't have a good breath, shook his head and didn't pay attention to them anymore.

Someone disappreliantly said: "The poisonous lady is dead, except for a harm to the villagers, this mission has been successfully completed, what can be wrong?" ”

At the mention of the poisonous lady, Shen Lin suddenly thought of something in his mind, and subconsciously muttered: "Yes, it is the poisonous lady, we have investigated her past, she was originally an ordinary peasant girl, she was abducted and trafficked into the Qinglou, and her mentality has been distorted since then......"

"yes, we don't know all these things, what's so strange?"

After a pause, Shen Lin muttered: "The problem is in this place, she was originally just a peasant girl, but where did that poisonous kung fu come from?" It's impossible to get it by chance, but it doesn't make sense when it comes to literacy, and besides, the content of the book is so vicious that ordinary people can't easily get it......"

The others looked at each other, not understanding what Shen Lin was doing.

Suddenly thinking of something, Shen Lin's face changed and he said in a deep voice: "Go, go back, search around the temple, don't let go of any suspicious places!" ”

……

Leaving from that temple, Liu Xiu stopped on a small hill more than 2,000 meters away from the temple, and a hint of discoloration flashed in his eyes.

Dozens of meters in front of him, that is, in the low place below the hill, there was a puddle about three meters long, but no matter how Liu Xiu looked at it, he felt that the puddle looked like a footprint!

At this time, the puddle was filled by the night rain, but it was clearly visible that there was a corpse dressed in black in the water, or more precisely, the corpse was embedded in the ground at the bottom of the puddle.

He seemed to be trampled on there, and his face was indistinguishable from a puddle of flesh, and he couldn't tell his true face.

Within a radius of ten meters around the puddle, the plants that had been vigorous in spring had withered, and the closer they got to the puddle, the more they withered, as if they had been beaten with 'glyphosate'.

Seeing the corpse in the puddle, Liu Xiu immediately thought of the poisonous person mentioned in the book on the poisonous lady!

The scene of "Will he do it......" reminded Liu Xiu of the bearded man who left for a while last night.

If it was really him, then how did the almost three-meter-long footprint come to be?

Broken feet?

As his thoughts spread, Liu Xiu realized that it seemed that the poisonous lady was not like an ordinary bandit leader who had a chance chance, thinking of this corpse, she was more like a member of some evil organization!

Thoughts flickered, Liu Xiu stayed here for a short time and left, whether it was done by a bearded man or not, no matter who he was, no matter what the identity of the poisonous lady was, things had passed, these were just an episode in the journey, the world was big, it was difficult to say whether they could meet in the future, why were they so entangled.

Not long after Liu Xiu left here, a member of the reserve of the Iron Armor Army arrived here and quickly reminded others of the arrival.

Standing dozens of meters away from the puddle like footprints and not daring to approach, Shen Lin's face suddenly turned ugly, and a deep fear and worry filled his mind.

"Head, what's going on?" One of the reservists hesitated to ask, but was really frightened by the image of withered vegetation around the puddle.

Shen Lin pointed over there and said: "Don't go over, it's very dangerous, now I say, you listen, go to the two of you, return to Linjiang City immediately, report the situation here to the city lord truthfully, and the others will stay here with me, and no one will be allowed to approach!" ”

"Head, what the hell is missing?" The reservists were a little nervous by Shen Lin, and someone couldn't help but ask.

Shen Lin frowned and said, "Don't ask so much, just do what I say."

The others looked at each other in amazement and quickly did as Shen Lin instructed......

I hope it's not what I think, otherwise it will be a big problem, and besides, is this poisonous man killed by the beard? Although I don't know his specific identity, but with his skills, he will appear here, is it because he has discovered something?

Shen Lin muttered to himself in his heart, his mood became heavy, and the rising sun could not dispel the gloom in his heart......

Half a day later, Xia Haitao, the city lord of Linjiang City, personally came here with a team of ironclad soldiers, accompanied by his sister Xia Haitang, and their two brothers and sisters all changed their faces after seeing the body of the deceased, and carefully asked Shen Lin what happened.

After inquiring in detail, Xia Haitao said in a deep voice: "Go buy a coffin, remember to buy another cowhide bag, carefully collect the body, it must be sealed, I have to take it back to the sect to report to the head of the sect!" ”

When people were busy, Xia Haitang asked Xia Haitao worriedly: "Brother, do you say that the appearance of this poisonous person is really related to that rumor?" ”

"Whether it is or not, this matter must be reported to the sect for processing, if it is really related to that rumor, it will be a big problem" Xia Haitao said with an ugly face.

Xia Haitang was silent when he heard this, and then his eyes flashed and said, "Brother, about that bearded man, do you know who he is?" Make an extremely heavy triangular 'pig killing knife', I have also seen the crushed slate, at least it will take more than a thousand pounds of things to fall to smash into that shape! ”

"There is only one person in my memory who fits the image of that person described by Shen Lin" Xia Haitao looked into the distance with a look of adoration and yearning, his eyes scanned, as if he was looking for the figure of that person.

Xia Haitang asked, "Who?" ”

"Butcher!" Xia Haitao gently spit out these two words, and his tone was very heavy, as if it would take great courage to say those two words.

Xia Haitang's face was shocked, and he said in disbelief: "Brother, are you sure it's really him?" ”

"I haven't seen anyone, so naturally I'm not sure, but judging from Shen Lin's description, I really can't think of anyone else besides that person" Xia Haitao shook his head and said.

Xia Haitang took a deep breath and muttered: "If it is really a butcher, I'm afraid the situation is serious, it is rumored that this person's strength is unfathomable, his whereabouts are erratic, and he likes to 'kill pigs' the most, but anyone who has a tendency to harm the common people is a stupid pig in his opinion, where there is a 'pig', there is a figure of him eight or nine times out of ten, and it also shows in disguise that where he exists, there must be potential big things happening!" ”

"So, I rushed here as soon as I learned about the matter here," Xia Haitao said in a heavy tone, not knowing what he was worried about.

Xia Haitang comforted him and said: "Brother, don't think so much, even the butcher has appeared, if something happens, it is not something we can participate in at all, and then it depends on how the sect handles it."

"That's all it can be," Xia Haitao shook his head and said......
