At the beginning of the first month of 733 A.D., just as the country was jubilant, dozens of murders occurred in Yuanxian County, causing a sensation in the entire capital. According to various investigations, it was finally confirmed that such a tragedy was committed by Deng Yikong.

After learning of this situation, Tang Xuanzong immediately ordered Qiu Pengyun to fully assist the county magistrate of Yuanxian County to thoroughly investigate the case. He also strictly ordered Qiu Pengyun and others to bring Deng Yikong back to Beijing within ten days. In case of special circumstances, the right to cut first and then play can be exercised. All in all, we must do our best to return the peace and happiness of the people of the county.

However, how easy is it to arrest the elusive Deng Yikong? It must be known that the county ordered his officials to arrest quickly, and they were all wine bags and rice bags who were greedy for life and afraid of death.

If these people are allowed to bully the unarmed ordinary people, they will ask themselves that no one can do it. But now he has to face a murderous demon, and of course everyone in this person is terrified. So that before he saw Deng Yikong himself, but only saw the innocent people who were brutally killed by him, these fierce murderers had already peed their pants.

In desperation, Qiu Pengyun could only put down his worth and then went to Mei Chengye's mansion for help.

It turned out that the Yun Qingyou brothers, who had helped Mei Chengye and others many times before, were extremely familiar with the situation in Yuan County. In addition, the two of them served under Zhang Shugong of Jingzhao Mansion many years ago, and successfully cracked many major cases. If they can be successfully invited out of the mountain this time, and then assist Qiu Pengyun's men to capture Deng Yikong, it will definitely be a great achievement.

This is really a turn of feng shui, Qiu Pengyun would never have dreamed that he would come to borrow someone from Mei Chengye.

If they were as knowledgeable as Qiu Pengyun, the two brothers would definitely not agree to this. The reason why they came to Yuan County somewhat reluctantly, and then began to investigate the case in an orderly manner, was entirely for Mei Chengye's sake.

However, to Yun Qingyou's extreme shock, the death of this person was so special.

All of them were subjected to extremely deep palm power, until the essence of the victim was sucked dry, and finally turned into a shriveled corpse.

As far as Yun Qingyou knows, there is only one kind of martial art in the world that can instantly have such an impact on the human body. That is the evil skill that has long been lost in the rivers and lakes - "chasing the soul and taking the soul".

Whoever is in this palm will break his bones and tendons, and become a complete waster from then on; If it is heavy, the soul will be scattered, the liver and gallbladder will be broken, and he will die on the spot. Just like the dried corpses at the scene of the incident, it is really miserable.

From this point of view, Deng Yikong's practice of chasing souls has reached the point of perfection.

However, what puzzled him was that Deng Yikong was a common person. He had never set foot in martial arts before, so where did he learn the long-lost Soul Chaser?

At this moment, Pang Jiuge, who was also secretly investigating the matter, managed to find Yun Qingyou, and then explained the ins and outs of the matter to him.

According to Pang Jiuge, the mastermind behind the scenes who secretly taught Deng Yikong this evil skill and kept secretly monitoring his every move was actually a person who dispelled his heart.

In the middle of the night, Deng Yikong, who had lost his soul, also lived temporarily in that ancient temple, and then planned to settle down here.

The things Pang Jiuge saw in the ancient temple that night were all Deng Yikong's belongings.

And the reason why Deng Yikong chose to run away from home was because he really couldn't stand the strange eyes of his neighbors, let alone the incomprehension of his parents.

From childhood to adulthood, Deng Yikong can really be said to have endured all kinds of bullying and ridicule. Nine times out of ten of everyone he knew, he had joked about Deng Yikong's physical defects. What's more, there are even people with despicable virtues who call him "lame dead" to his face.

All this made the kind-hearted Deng Yikong angry. Seeing that he was kind and polite everywhere, but in the end, these people treated him so cruelly, the more Deng Yikong thought about it, the more angry he became.

Seeing this, he wanted to take revenge on him, but he didn't have that ability at all, so he could only give up for the time being.

Deng Yikong, who was extremely sad, wanted to go home to seek comfort from his parents, but after his father Deng Laosan learned about it, he said casually, You are a cripple, don't you want people to say it?

Hearing this, Deng Yikong left angrily that night, the home that did not have the slightest warmth, and then came to this ancient temple in embarrassment.

Just when the heartbroken Deng Yikong was drowsy, another person with a plan suddenly appeared in front of him, and told him that he had a way to take revenge, and then killed all those who had laughed at Deng Yikong. The method that the Heart Dispel Daoist said was to teach the Soul Chasing Soul Palm to Deng Yikong.

Deng Yikong, who had already lost his mind, heard that there was such kung fu in the world, and he did not hesitate to worship the Taoist as a teacher.

The Dispelling Mind Daoist was overjoyed to see that his treacherous plan had finally succeeded, and then began to secretly teach him this skill.

However, what the people of the Heart Dispelling Dao did not expect was that Deng Yikong, who had no foundation in martial arts, wanted to practice the Soul Chasing Soul Palm, which even the top masters did not dare to touch easily, and the process must be extremely difficult.

However, even so, Deng Yikong still relied on his inhuman endurance and then risked his life, which barely reached the third level.

In the process, Deng Yikong was surprised to find that every time he practiced the Soul Chasing Soul Palm, his face would age a little more.

It was only at this time that the Heart Dispelling Dao told Deng Yikong that his practice of this skill had very big side effects.

It turns out that although the lethality of the Soul Chaser is amazing, there are also many unavoidable drawbacks.

According to the Mind Dispelling Daoists, for every point of refinement in the power of the Soul Chaser Palm, the damage it causes to the person who practices it increases by one point. The most obvious manifestation of this is the face that changes almost every day.

Anyone who practices the Soul Chaser will age several times or even dozens of times faster than ordinary people.

Moreover, as the cultivation level of this skill progresses, the cultivator's aging speed will also accelerate, until he finally dies of heart failure.

This is also the fundamental reason why Deng Yikong, who has just turned 20, is already as old as a fifty or sixty-year-old man within a few months.

I said that the old and cunning Taoist with his heart dispels his heart, why does he have such powerful martial arts, but why doesn't he practice it himself, but he has to kindly teach it to Deng Yikong, who has never known his life. It turns out that the harm caused to the human body by practicing this skill is so great. And Deng Yikong, who has nothing to do, is just an experimental specimen of the Taoist who dispels his heart.

However, even so, Deng Yikong did not hold a grudge against the Taoist because of this, but became more and more respectful to him, and then completely became a tool for him to do evil.

After all, in Deng Yikong's opinion, as long as the people of the Heart Removal Dao have a way to let him take revenge, he can happily send those people to Huangquan Road. Even if he can only live for more than 100 days now, he still has no regrets. Anyway, at this time, he was already a waste man who had been abandoned by the world, so he simply came to a broken jar and burned jade.

Since then, Deng Yikong, who has lost his mind, began to kill innocent people unscrupulously with the secret support of the people of the Heart Removal Dao.

Anyone who had laughed at Deng Yikong before this, he would take his life mercilessly.

Especially the man who had insulted Deng Yikong many times and called Deng Yikong a lame man in front of him, he was even more angry and immediately broke his body into thousands of pieces and died fatally on the spot.

Since then, as long as he is a person who knows the truth of this matter, he has never dared to laugh at Deng Yikong, and no one dares to learn to walk with him.

Seeing this situation, Deng Yikong, who had already lost himself, felt unprecedented satisfaction in this ruthless and brutal killing.

Then, Deng Yikong locked on those unscrupulous women who were beautiful and beautiful.

From this point of view, the various misfortunes when he was young really had an extremely far-reaching impact on Deng Yikong's body and mind.

However, in any case, Deng Yikong should not impose these grievances on these innocent people.

Although it is wrong for people to ridicule and even insult others, it can only be regarded as moral corruption and despicable virtue at best, but it is not a crime that leads to death.

Although Deng Yikong is a victim, his behavior of continuously killing innocent people in vain for several days is even more outrageous.

Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more critical, Qiu Pengyun and the others did not dare to hesitate, and even decided to kill Deng Yikong at all costs.

In the middle of the night, Deng Yikong, who was already exhausted, was besieged in the ancient temple by Yun Qingyou and others.

At this time, although Deng Yikong had the Soul Chasing Soul Palm as a support, after all, two fists were invincible to four hands, so he was seriously injured.

Just as everyone was about to pierce his heart with ten thousand arrows, a masked woman who suddenly arrived instantly rescued Deng Yikong from the encirclement, and then left quickly, and then disappeared into the vast night with him. The person who sacrificed his life to save him from his predicament was none other than Pang Jiuge.

Pang Jiuge is not a person who aids in the abuse, the reason why she wants to rescue Deng Yikong desperately at the moment of life and death is completely out of pity and sympathy for his unfortunate experience.

Afterwards, in order to avoid Yun Qingyou and others' pursuit of Deng Yikong, Pang Jiuge unexpectedly hid the dying Deng Yikong in the abandoned firewood house in Yan Ruyi's old mansion.

After Pang Jiuge's careful care day and night for several days, Deng Yikong finally gradually recovered, and was willing to try to communicate with him normally.

What is incredible is that Deng Yikong, who had always been moody, became very well-behaved in front of Pang Jiuge. So much so that since he got here, he hasn't been out to make trouble.

However, Deng Yikong hid this matter in the firewood room, but Pang Jiuge did not tell Yan Ruyi. So that she was still kept in the dark, and she encountered many strange things one after another.

After all, paper can't contain the fire, and after a long time, Yan Ruyi still gradually noticed some clues.

It is worth mentioning that although this is Yan Ruyi's old mansion, she usually lives in a nearby inn on weekdays and rarely comes back during this period. After all, it's been uninhabited for a long time, so it's inevitable that some unbearable smells will arise from it. And this also provided a good condition for Pang Jiuge to secretly hide Deng Yikong.

As time went by, more and more strange things happened in Yan Ruyi's life.

That is, Yan Ruyi, a person who is so arrogant, has not yet noticed that there are court criminals hidden in his firewood room.

Because this is Yan Ruyi's residence, so that the surrounding people take it for granted that Yan Ruyi harbored Deng Yikong.

However, although they knew that Deng Yikong was here, none of them dared to come out and report it.

After all, Deng Yikong is different from ordinary people, if he accidentally provokes him because of this, then this informant will die and have no place to be buried.

Because of this, these people all dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, so that they all poured their anger on Yan Ruyi, who had no idea about it.

Thinking about that day, Yan Ruyi had just changed into a brand new dress and was ready to go out for a walk.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked to the mouth of the alley, she was surrounded by a group of unbearable people.

Before she could come to her senses, these people were very angry and threw all the rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves that had been prepared on Yan Ruyi's body.

Yan Ru commented on this situation and wanted to reason with it. However, these people couldn't listen to it at all, so Yan Ruyi could only run back home in embarrassment.

After returning home, the more Yan Ruyi thought about it, the more wrong it became, so she began to rummage around the house, and almost turned the ground over.

At this moment, Yan Ruyi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he suddenly realized something unusual.

Then she hurried to the door of the wood house, where she had not approached for many years.

Sure enough, the firewood room, which had been unattended before, was uncharacteristically locked at this moment.

Yan Ruyi looked at it fixedly, even if he concluded that this lock was definitely not his own, could it be that what the person said was true?

Thinking of this, Yan Ruyi didn't think about it, so she came to the county office very urgently, and then reported to the messenger inside, saying that she had discovered Deng Yikong's whereabouts.

When the errand officer first heard this, he naturally turned a deaf ear, and when nothing had happened, he still closed his eyes here to recuperate.

After all, they knew in their hearts that Yan Ruyi and her people had always made a fuss, and what she said was not enough to be believed.

However, seeing that Yan Ruyi looked nervous, and said it in a similar way, it was as if he had seen it with his own eyes. Some loose and lazy officials decided to go and find out.

In order to prevent accidents, the messenger led everyone to Yan Ruyi's house, and at the same time, the flying pigeon sent a message to inform Yun Qingyou to come to reinforcements quickly.

However, when Yan Ruyi and the others hurried to the firewood room, they unexpectedly found that the door of the house was wide open, presumably the Chinese had already fled.

Seeing that there were less than two days left before the deadline given by Tang Xuanzong, Qiu Pengyun was anxious. If Deng Yikong had any trouble during this period, his head would really have to move.
