Lin Xiao didn't fight with Cao Mingming, not to mention the strength of the cultivation, it was impossible to fight in the Zhenwu Division.

"Do you have a grudge against the Cao family?" asked Xiao Tianyu.

"Little things. Lin Xiao said with a smile, this is his own business, it has nothing to do with Xiao Tianyu, it is impossible for Lin Xiao to drag Xiao Tianyu into the water.

Cao Mingliang didn't say anything to Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu, the person to confess was Li Qun, he was the deputy imperial envoy and Cao Mingliang's deputy.

"The two of you were recruited here this time because a very strange and terrible murder happened in the county. Li Qun said with a solemn face: "First of all, there was a life case in Luzhufang, the deceased was an ordinary family of three, and the death was the loss of a body of energy, if it had been dead for many years, the City Health Department intervened in the investigation, and that night, a city guard team died, and the death was still a loss of a body of energy, like a rotten corpse. ”

Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu's faces were awe-inspiring.

"Could it be some kind of evil demon technique?" Xiao Tianyu asked in a deep voice, there are indeed some evil demon techniques that cause such a scene.

"As the number of deaths grew, the City Health Department asked the Zhenwu Division to intervene, at first we also thought that it was caused by some kind of evil demon technique, the whole city searched, and even the army was dispatched, but still failed to find the whereabouts of the murderer, and the crime scene did not leave any traces, and no trace could be found. Li Qun's tone became more and more solemn, and Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu felt frightened for no reason.

But at the scene of the murder, there will definitely be some traces left, even if it is a powerful person, there will be traces of clues.

In the Zhenwu Division, there is no shortage of masters who are good at tracing traces, and if they can't even trace the clues, then the problem is too serious.

It shows that the perpetrator's methods are extremely superb, and even extremely powerful.

Initial website: m.

But it's very contradictory, if the strength is extremely strong, there is no need to be so secretive, you can be blatant, if you are worried about attracting any strong people, it's just a big move, now in this situation, if the county town martial arts department has no choice, you have to ask the state town martial arts for support, maybe there will be a martial arts master at that time.

For now, the martial arts grandmaster is an extremely powerful existence, as for the grandmaster, he really has that strength, do he still need to hide like this?

If you think about it carefully, you will feel that there are many contradictions, and the more you scrutinize, the more creepy it is.

"Nineteen Fang Cities, in each Fang City, there are people who have lost their spirit and died, and our Zhenwu Division has died nine patrols so far. Li Qun's words made Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu look at each other.

During this period of time, counting the dead people, nine Zhenwu Division, twenty-eight City Health Bureau, other family warriors, personnel and ordinary people have also died, adding up to more than a hundred, and it has only been a few days.

In just a few days, more than a hundred people died, each of which was a dried corpse that had lost its essence and seemed to have rotted for many years.

"Did the people of the Ghoul Dao do it?" Lin Xiao suddenly thought of what happened to the White Cloud Gang that night, those ghoul guards killed people, and the blood flowed all over the place and was ingested by the Corpse King.

"It's not. Li Qun shook his head: "The head of the division has already asked for help from the state town martial arts, and there will be an adult who is said to have opened up the Divine Palace to come to help." ”

"Open up the Divine Palace!" Lin Xiao was taken aback.

Martial arts does not have the saying of opening up a divine palace, it is the division of the realm of the gods.

The first step of the god is to open up the divine aperture, to be able to refine the spiritual power into the divine power, continue to accumulate the divine power, continue to condense, turn and turn, when the completion of the three turns is qualified to open the shrine.

If you want to convert it with martial arts, opening up the divine aperture is equal to internal training and true martial arts, then opening up the divine palace is equal to the martial arts master and even the martial arts master.

The division of the realm of the Imperial God is very different from the martial arts, and the span will be relatively large.

It's just that I don't know if the one who came to open up the Divine Palace is equal to a martial arts master or a martial arts grandmaster.

"Isn't there a Divine Master in the Martial Division?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked.

"Yes, but the shrine hasn't been opened yet. Li Qun's response made Lin Xiao's eyes light up slightly, he was very curious, and he wanted to see it, because there was no Imperial Divine Master in the county, or there was no Imperial Divine Master in the town martial arts division in the county seat, as for whether there were any people or not, it was not clear.

On the side of the gods, he can only be regarded as a half-hanger, just mastering a turn of the gods, and he is still in the process of cultivating, and he has not yet cultivated to the extreme, there is a god-making decision, but there is no magic to cultivate, and even half-spirited people are very reluctant.

"So far, there has been no internal training or death of any of the above martial artists. Li Qun said: "The two of you have the limit of internal training and the other is a master of internal training, but you have the strength that does not belong to the limit of internal training, and it is because of this that you are temporarily transferred up." ”

Lin Xiao couldn't help but be a little puzzled, wasn't Cao Mingliang planning to deal with him secretly?

Or is it just the opportunity to get rid of yourself?

"The time when the murderer committed the crime is at night, while it is still night, the two of you can walk around, familiarize yourself with Dongmingfang, and facilitate night patrols. Li Qun finally said: "This matter needs to be taken seriously, if anyone can solve this case and capture or kill the murderer, he will be able to get a thousand merits." ”

At this moment, Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu were both shocked, a thousand merits, it was too amazing, and it can be seen from this point how tricky this case is.

Lin Xiao still handed over Lin Sishou's letter to Li Qun and walked out of the Fang Si side by side with Xiao Tianyu, wandering around, to be familiar with here, although Xiao Tianyu was born in the county town, but to be honest, he is not so familiar with Dongmingfang, after all, Jinhu Fang and Dongmingfang are separated by several Fang cities, and they usually come rarely, and the most people who go are Jinhu Fang, Hongfu Fang and Qingfu Fang.

"The problem is serious. Xiao Tianyu said as he walked.

"Otherwise, the county town Takeshi would not be so helpless, and could only rely on the night watch to find the murderer. Lin Xiao continued, and both of them saw very clearly that if the county town martial arts division was capable enough, he would not be so passive.

The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light, fortunately, so far there has been no death of a martial artist who has completed internal training and above, which gives the town martial arts division an inference, that the murderer can't deal with a martial artist who has completed internal training and above, which shows that the murderer's strength is limited, but the means are very strange and cannot be prevented.

While chatting from time to time, the two observed the left and right sides, and wrote them down one by one with their extraordinary memory.

When the sun was about to set, the two walked the whole Dongmingfang and found a place to have a full meal.

"You please. Lin Xiao said unceremoniously.

"Why do I please, you eat more than I do. Xiao Tianyu retorted.

"Do you think those twenty merits are so easy to take?" Lin Xiao smiled coldly, Xiao Tianyu pondered, and obediently checked out, fortunately, less than a hundred taels of silver.

After eating and drinking, the two of them walked back to Fangsi, but Lin Xiao suddenly stopped and turned into an alley, because he saw a small bookstore when he was familiar with Dongmingfang before, and remembered that he had planned to buy some biographies of martial arts powerhouses, maybe he could take a look at it, and it would also be of some benefit to his own cultivation.

Turning into the small bookstore, it was bright, but it was not big, and the three rows of shelves were full of books, and there were bundles stacked underneath, which looked a little messy.

"Young man, if you want to buy any books, just tell me, and the old man will find them for you. The shoulder was gently patted, the old-fashioned voice sounded, Lin Xiao looked back, and saw a thin figure, it was an old man, standing on tiptoe with his hands behind his back, making the appearance of a master outside the world.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, only to feel that this old man was very familiar.

"Uncle, aren't you in charge of the arsenal in the Baiyun Gang of Qingtong Township?" Lin Xiao was surprised, this old man was clearly the one who pretended to be unfathomable in the arsenal of Baiyun Hall in Qingtong Township a few months ago and recommended the Wind Sword Technique to himself.

Does it look the same?

Otherwise, how far away Qingtong Township is from the county town, how could an ordinary old man who has no meat on his body come here and open a small bookstore.

"Does the young man recognize the old man?" the old man suddenly stared at Lin Xiao with a pair of cloudy eyes.

"A few months ago, my husband also recommended the Wind Sword Technique to me. Lin Xiao responded with a smile, a feeling of meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country, very wonderful, and suddenly felt that the world was impermanent, and it seemed that the past few months had been in the past few years, mainly because of the things that happened in these times one after another, and it was painstaking and laborious.

"It turned out to be you, has the Baiyun Gang developed to the county town? Then I have to find another errand, otherwise I will not be able to sell a book in half a day by opening this small shop, and the old man will almost run out of rice to cook." The old man hurriedly said, looking pitiful.

"Uncle, the Baiyun Gang didn't come to the county seat, and I'm not a member of the Baiyun Gang now, but a member of the Zhenwu Division. Lin Xiao explained: "You didn't stay in Qingtong Township, why did you come to the county town?"

This world is really not suitable for ordinary people to travel far, especially an old man who doesn't have a few taels of meat on his body, from Qingtong Township to the county town, it's really choking.

"Earlier, it was the Baiyun Gang that was attacked by the Black Soil Gang, the old man, I saw that the opportunity was not good, and I left immediately, worried that I would be found by the people of the Black Soil Gang, so I could only leave Qingtong Township, and I pity my old man who had to leave his hometown...... "The old man almost beat his chest and squeezed out a few tears, his eyes seemed to be getting more and more cloudy, and he looked at Lin Xiao with a blank look: "Young man, for the sake of acquaintance, buy some books." ”

Lin Xiao always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of it, but Xiao Tianyu was already moved.

"Husband, I'll buy a few books. Xiao Tianyu spoke softly, as if he was afraid that the louder voice would scare the old man.

"Good, good, look at you like a good young man with a good heart. The old man smiled: "Tell me, what kind of books do you want? As long as there are old men, I will find them for you, even if there are none, the old man will pretend to have them for you." ”

Xiao Tianyu suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, feeling that this old man was a little skinny, like someone.

In the end, Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu each carried a stack of books.

"Uncle, the county town has not been peaceful recently, why don't I send you to Lin'an County first, I have a house there, and when this matter is settled, you will come back?" Lin Xiao said.

"No, I can't put down this bookstore. The old man shook his head repeatedly.

"Then even these books were sent to Lin'an County and opened a bookstore in the county seat. Lin Xiao said again, it is really not peaceful in the county, and he can't bear to watch a person he knows may become the next victim.

"No, I can't leave, old man. The old man's head shook like a rattle, and then he sighed: "I'm old, and I don't have much time to live, so I don't want to toss anymore." ”

Lin Xiao said something bad, and Xiao Tianyu also came to persuade him, but the old man was very stubborn and stubborn, and there was no way, in the end, Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu could only leave with a stack of books each, but they silently decided in their hearts to try to get as close to the small bookstore as possible during the night patrol.

"Young man, come and buy it after reading it. The old man stood on tiptoe and tried to make himself taller, waving his hand as thin as a chicken claw, looking very reluctant: "Next time, the old man will give you a discount." ”

Seeing Lin Xiao and Xiao Tianyu's backs far away, the smile on the old man's face converged, and he looked up at the sky, his eyes were far and deep, as if he had seen through the sky, the sun was setting, and the night was slowly falling.

"Ghosts, is this world going to change again......"

"Poor old man, old man...... Gotta run away......"
