The middle-aged man tugged at the corners of his mouth, the look of vigilance on his face did not diminish much, and he was still full of vigilance:

"What do you want?"

"I'm just here to catch the culprits. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xiao Yu shrugged his shoulders, and knew that it was difficult for the two of them to believe with just one mouth, so he raised his hand and waved, and the sword hanging on the wall suddenly stumbled out of its sheath, cutting a cold light in the air.

Hmph, showing such a method of using the sword out of thin air, you should believe it now, right?

Who knew that the middle-aged man opened his mouth and scolded angrily:

"If you want to kill or chop, listen to me, I just ask you to let my lady go, she is just a woman, and it will not hinder you."

“……”

Bastard, I've been talking to you so kindly, what kind of expression is you!

Xiao Yu's eyes widened, and his momentum was slightly released, which immediately made the two of them pause in place: "Listen!" I am a subordinate of Erlang Zhenjun, and I came here this time to eradicate the evil. ”

After a while, the county order finally calmed down, "It turned out to be an immortal elder, and he was offended, and he hoped to forgive ...... sins."

Regardless of whether he believes it or not, at least the current situation is that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and he has no qualifications to resist at all.

"Why are you so afraid of me?" Xiao Yu asked.

Li County ordered:

"To tell you the truth, a few days ago, my wife and I were sleeping in the house, when I suddenly heard a strange noise in the room, and when I lit the lamp, I saw a wisp of black smoke drifting out along the crack in the door, and on the table was a bloody death word written in blood...... Obviously, I was not allowed to pursue it further. ”

"It's just that he is an official of the imperial court in the lower part, but he can't stay out of the matter, he can only continue to track down ......" Li Xianling smiled bitterly.

Xiao Yu understood, feeling that this old brother thought that he was here to kill people.

"Kill people?" Xiao Yu thought for a while and said, "The other party is so eager, it must be that you have tracked down something useful?" ”

"This ......" Li Xianling hesitated a little.

"Then why don't I come back tomorrow morning and submit a prayer post?"

"I can't do it." Li Xian Ling hurriedly shook his head and said, "Please come with me." ”

The two soon came to a warehouse in the yamen, and Li Xianling walked to the corner, took out a black gadget the size of half a palm, handed it to Xiao Yu, and said, "This is it." ”

"A few days ago, there were screams on the street, Yang Zhutou chased after him with the officials, but unfortunately he couldn't see the appearance of the person who came, but he just found such a thing."

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand to take it, it was cold to the touch, and the texture was very light, obviously not a metal thing.

"Excuse me, what is this?" Li Xianling asked expectantly.

Xiao Yu said categorically: "It's the scales on the centipede's body." ”

"This—such large scales?" Li Xianling's eyes widened, "Immortal Chief is sure there won't be anything wrong?" ”

"Of course, because I've seen anything bigger than this."

"I thought it would be a big deal, but you were able to pick up a piece of scale, which saved me a lot of effort." Xiao Yu said softly, pinched a yellow talisman with his fingertips, shook it slightly, and ignited it, and the bright flame suddenly wrapped this scale, and then turned into a firebird and flew into the air.

A group of officials were dumbfounded, and the timid even knelt down, even the Li County Commander was pale.

"I'll go and go back, you guys wait a while." Before the words fell, Xiao Yu had already broken through the air.

When the sun set completely, Xiao Yu followed the firebird to a mountain col in the suburbs. The strange rocks here are craggy, the grass is deep and waistless, the night wind moves, and the gloomy atmosphere is thick.

In the darkness, there was a strange sound of "rattling" everywhere, obviously something was moving rapidly, but swimming around Xiao Yu, as if ready to attack at any time.

Xiao Yu was fearless, the largest centipede spirit he had ever seen was a centipede national master, and a scale on his body was the size of a gong, and the centipede demon here was really not worth mentioning.

He raised his hand, and a large patch of artemisia withered and fell to the ground.

"Hiss!"

A strange cry sounded, and a dark green centipede several feet long lay on the ground, with many hands and feet on its body, and its eyes flashed with blood. With a flick of his body, he rushed towards Xiao Yu, and there was an extra breath of blood in the air.

"It's just a centipede spirit that has just built a foundation, and its guts are not small." Xiao Yu chuckled lightly, and slashed out with his fingers, and the sword qi was horizontal.

How can that centipede spirit be stopped?

In a single moment, he was pierced through the skull and fell to the ground and convulsed.

The blood was splashed and sneered on the ground, this centipede had a strong vitality, its head was cut off and it still did not die immediately, the claws under its body were quickly pulled, and a large pit was quickly grabbed under its body, and the soil splashed, and it took a while before finally breathing.

……

As Xiao Yu left, Li Xianling retreated left and right and returned to the house, but he was inevitably restless, surprised and worried for a while.

Fortunately, he was a serious reader, so he studied the ink and prepared to write a preface to the Lanting Collection, but not long after he put down his pen, he saw a flash of people in the room.

Li Xianling hurriedly put down his pen, "Immortal Chief, how is the matter?" ”

Xiao Yu didn't speak, and with a wave of his hand, a large centipede several feet long appeared in the house, its fangs were hideous, and the scale armor reflected a faint inky blue color in the candlelight, which was extremely hideous and terrifying.

Li Xianling took a deep breath, turned his head, didn't look too much, and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Immortal Chang for removing this fang for this town......"

"That's not right."

"Huh?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said:

"The mastermind behind the heart-digging incident is not this centipede, this thing looks fierce, but in fact, it has just been refined into a demon pill, and it can't be transformed at all, if it kills people, it will eat messily, and it won't dig out its heart."

Li Xianling was shocked, "Could it be that we are making a mistake in tracking down?" ”

"Not really." Xiao Yu shook his head, "If the tracking is wrong, no one will pretend to be a ghost to warn you." ”

"I think this centipede should be raised by someone."

On the way back, Xiao Yu examined the centipede essence and found a suspicious point.

That is, it has very little venom in its teeth, which is obviously unreasonable.

How could a creature like this, which uses poison as a weapon, not have venom?

Obviously, there are only two possibilities, one is that the venom has been injected into the prey and has not yet been produced again. However, Xiao Yu carefully checked that there were only some dry bones in the valley, not even large livestock such as cattle and sheep.

The second possibility is that the venom has been taken by someone in a special way.

In any case, being able to take away the venom of a centipede is not something that ordinary people can do......

As for why the other party took away the venom, in Xiao Yu's opinion, it is obviously more likely to poison someone, anyway, this thing is not Qiong Jelly Yulu, and it will definitely not be likable.

Xiao Yu asked:

"Has anyone been poisoned lately?"

Li Xianling thought for a while and said, "No, if there is a pretense, you won't tell me." ”

"Is that so?" Xiao Yu nodded, and there was already a faint guess in his heart.

Most of the water that ordinary people drink comes from wells in the river, and if you want to poison someone, it can't be easier. And no one has been poisoned to death, which means that the other party is not drinking ordinary water, or will be carefully checked before drinking, such as someone drinking on behalf of others...... In short, the target you want to deal with is not ordinary people.

However, there is still a question that has not been solved, that is, why gouge out other people's hearts, is it just intimidation and threats, or is there some other reason?
