Li Xiao and Xiaoshan leaned over, and when they looked left and right, they always felt that this thing was very similar to the fire stick used by farmers in the countryside to clean the stove hole.

"Senior!" the old ghost said with a sad face, "Then can you change it back to its original appearance?" If he had a choice, he would rather take a knife and forget it, although he also knew that he looked stupid with a knife.

It's just that the old man thinks that the current shape is good, so why should the old Tanyue change it back?"

"Senior ......"

"No more talk. Tai Suizi shook off the dust, and said with a straight face: "This crutch looks like an old tree with coiled roots, and if you look closely, it looks like a coiled dragon from the dust, and the subtleties imply mystery. ”

Li Xiao and Xiao Shan's eyes slanted towards the old Taoist priest together, although he didn't know how he was able to turn this knife into an iron rod just now, but now even the most inorganic Xiao Shan understood that this old guy was already exhausted in donkey skills, and he didn't have the ability to let this stick change shape anymore. Otherwise, with his special hobby of showing off his ability at every turn, he would have "Lao Tanyue, please see" a long time ago, how could there be so much nonsense.

"This crutch is so superb, you actually let me change back to the original state, it's really tasteless!" Tai Suizi paced square steps, kept shaking his head, and muttered: "I won't change it back, why don't I give it a name!...... Since it can devour the power of remnant souls, let's call it the 'Staff of Soul Eater'!"

The old ghost looked at the burning stick without tears, and his whole old face wrinkled. No matter how loud it is, it probably others still use it as a burning stick.

Li Xiao patted the shoulder of the old ghost with a sad face, and comforted: "Although this thing is ugly, it is ugly, but it is still an evil soldier, and you can be regarded as a powerful self-defense guy, so don't be sad!"

"It's just powerful. Tai Suizi said slowly: "You must know that the reason why the evil soldier is 'evil' is because it has the evil power to devour souls and snatch souls, and it is killed by the evil soldiers, and most of the true elements and part of the soul will be devoured by the evil soldiers. As for the evil soldier host, it can control the evil soldier, relying on nothing more than an innate trace of Yuan Yang, with old age and blood decay, Yuan Yang gradually weakens, and the more difficult it is to resist the evil soldier's soul sense, and eventually he will be devoured by the evil sword and die. This evil soldier has been passed down from generation to generation, and I don't know how many fierce and fierce souls are housed in it, and the resentment is really extraordinary. Lao Tanyue is a pure yin ghost body, with this evil soldier, not only does there be no disaster of yin soul devouring the body, but the resentment in this knife is of great benefit to deepening Lao Tanyue's ghost power. If it is said that the original reputation of this demon knife was nineteen, and now it is attributed to Lao Tanqi, this ranking, I am afraid that it will be in the top ten, and it is not surprising that it is one of the best in time. ”

"Really?" the old ghost looked at the burning stick in front of him again.

"Of course it's true. Tai Suizi stroked his white beard, shook his head and said: "The resentment of the yin soul in this knife has been formed, no matter who is the host of this knife, he will suffer from the yin soul devouring his body." But it is true that no matter how fierce the evil soul in this knife is, it is just a bodyless soul, and it can't fight against Lao Tanyue after all. In this case, it is like taking water to reclaim the sea, and eventually all rivers will return to the river. The stronger the ** devoured by these ghosts, the stronger Lao Tanyue's ghost power will be. ”

Li Xiao reflected after a while, and asked a little suspiciously, "Senior, what do you mean...... Is it that the yin spirits in this evil soldier will gradually be devoured by the old ghosts?"

Tai Suizi shook his head and said: "Lao Tanyue is kind-hearted, so naturally he will not do such a thing, but unfortunately the ghosts in this crutch are all murderous, the resentment is too heavy, and he will never give up the desire to devour the host, they are like moths throwing fire, never dying, even if Lao Tanyue wants not to devour, he is afraid that he will not be able to get it." ”

"In this way, hasn't this old guy become a demon that devours his own kind?" Li Xiao and Xiaoshan looked at the old ghost gloatingly, and the latter's face was already a little ugly. The old ghost and Li Xiaoshan have lived here for many years, although they have also surpassed some evil ghosts who worship and harm people, but the thing of "devouring the same kind" is not something that he can do if he is naturally timid. It's like an ordinary person imagining eating human flesh, and just thinking about it makes people feel uncomfortable.

"No, no, no. Tai Suizi shook his head and said: "The yin soul in this crutch is just a remnant soul in the final analysis, once the soul consciousness is generated, it will choose people to eat." The people devoured by Lao Tanyue were just the fierce aura of these yin spirits, and turning them into their own ghost power did not let these yin souls fly away. Therefore, it can't be called 'devouring the same kind', and it will not increase karma, and this layer of old sandalwood does not need to worry. ”

After all, he has been a wild ghost for more than a hundred years, and the old ghost knows much more about the habits of the wandering soul clan than Li Xiao and Xiao Shanzhen, and when he heard Tai Suizi say this, he quickly understood a little, and said happily: "Senior, according to what you say, this yin soul is unobtainable due to devouring, isn't the resentment getting heavier and heavier? The heavier the resentment, the stronger the desire to devour...... This ......"

"That's what it means!" Tai Suizi nodded and said: "These yin souls are indestructible because of their desire to devour, so they are endless, and the stronger the resentment, the more fierce it is, and the more urgent the ** that is devoured, and the cycle repeats." ”

When the old ghost heard this, he couldn't help but smile and chased away, but he picked up the treasure. Li Xiao and Xiaoshan may not understand it very well, but the old ghost, as a wandering spirit, has completely understood what Tai Suizi means. All in all, this evil soldier is like an inexhaustible source of mana for him, as long as he has the evil soldier in his hand, he can devour the resentment in the evil soldier all the time and increase the ghost power, but the yin spirit in it will not dissipate because of this, but will become more and more ferocious. It's a wonderful virtuous cycle.

Xiao Shan sneered on the side, and said disdainfully: "What's the use of having such a powerful magic weapon, with your guts, isn't it hiding here all day long to be a shrinking turtle?"

"Who said that?" The old ghost suddenly straightened up his shriveled chest, and said coaxingly: "Xiaoshan, you don't see people in the tent, hum! I'm already the host of the evil soldiers, you wait, I'm going to go out tonight to find out the news, to see who is causing so much trouble in our territory." ”

Li Xiao and Xiaoshan pinned their heads to the side together. It's weird that this old thing has this guts.

The old ghost raised his head and chest, paced in square steps, and sneered: "I have already thought about it, it must not be for nothing that Xiaoshan met these people in the woods behind. These people are either passing by or living nearby. These people, no matter how fierce they are, are never ordinary people, and they are just as worried about attracting the attention of the world. Just look into the nearby dwellings in the middle of nowhere, and you'll be able to find their nest without leaving ten. Of course, if they were just passing by, it would be unthinkable. ”

"Yes, old ghost. Li Xiao smiled and said, "You think things are very logical! I'll let you know my job as a private detective." ”

"Needless to say, people are hundred-year-old ghosts! There are more bridges than you have walked. Xiao Shan frowned and smiled: "Now that people have a protective evil soldier again, even you are not his opponent." In the future, if there are any people who don't have long eyes to provoke us, I don't think you and I need to make a move! ”

The old ghost "clicked" in his heart, and he was full of confidence at this time, but the other party was a master who dared to round up even a small mountain, and he was a hundred-year-old ghost, although he had evil soldiers, he was afraid that others might not take it seriously. He glanced at Li Xiao and then at Xiao Shanzhen, rolled his eyes, and said to Tai Suizi: "Lying next to the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly! Since the old-timers are here, if those demon lairs are really nearby, won't it ruin the reputation of the old-timers? Why don't we two go together tonight and investigate the neighborhood?" The old ghost knew that there was no need to rely on the help of two friends who were waiting to see the jokes, and he put his big words in front of him, so he hit the idea on Tai Suizi's body, although the strength of this old way is unpredictable, but in terms of the level of this knowledge, there should still be a little bit of strength.

"Amitabha, good, good!" Tai Suizi burped, shook his head like a drum, and said: "I can't hide it, the old man has always been unwilling to be left behind in this matter of eliminating demons and defending the Tao." It's a pity that the old man is full of shocking techniques, and he really shouldn't show his head to avoid unprovoked killing. The old man plans to concentrate on practicing the Taoism, and then disperse this body to talk about it, and wait for the idle matter, the old man doesn't want to pay attention to it for the time being. ”

"Ahh......h

The next day, the headquarters of the Hong Kong Special Operations Group.

Li Xiao, Zhang Biao, and Li Daocheng sat together, and Wright was holding a large pile of materials in his hand and distributing them to everyone. Powell sat in the other corner with his head down, and in just a few days, this poor expert in the field of consciousness was carried back twice by Merton like a piece of wood, and his spirit seemed very depressed.

With a giant cigar in his mouth, Merton briefed the trio on the progress of the case over the past few days.

"There were no murder weapons, no signs of a violent fight, and no obvious escape tracks. A total of five different bloodstains were found at the site, one of which has been confirmed to be the blood of an orc, a powerful non-human creature with extraordinary powers. The identity of the body found in the sea has also been preliminarily determined, and the person is a person with a registered supernatural named Masao Watanabe, a Japanese who belongs to a secret society in Japan. As far as we know, many of the members of the Society have abilities, although we don't have direct evidence to prove this. ”

Morton said, Yan Sù's gaze swept over the faces of the three of them one by one, and he was hoping to find some surprised expressions on the faces of several people, but unfortunately he was disappointed. An exorcist officer, a magic stick, and an unemployed vagrant were unmoved, as if he were talking about an old lady selling cabbage on the street, not the terrible orcs and powerful powers.

"Orcs!" Zhang Biao said with a big grin, "It's too normal for this kind of strange case to involve one or two orcs. Those dead died so miserably, at a glance, I knew that the murderer had no humanity at all, it turned out that the orcs did it, no wonder it was so inhumane, I damn it!"

Li Xiao heard it and secretly put a mouth behind his ear. Although bragging doesn't have to be taxed, it doesn't have to be so outrageous, right? To say that Hong Kong is such a great metropolis is like a demon beast city with many orcs.

Among the few international police officers, they are only A-level Fourth Heaven Abilities, and even low-level orcs are a very threatening existence for them. Seeing Zhang Biao's nonchalant look, Wright whistled exaggeratedly: "Oh, God, Officer Zhang, if this case involves powerful orcs, don't you think it's tricky?"

Although Wright is good at using the power of the earth, his mud pillar can be used to block the first-level orcs with low-level beast power, if it is a stronger first-level orc, with the strength of his strong body, his earth's power lethality is really limited, as for the second-level orcs...... With his ability, the most he could do was to make the other party take an extra bath, and the thought of this made Wright feel a little tingling on his scalp.

Zhang Biao said nonchalantly: "Orcs are just a special kind of demons, their powerful thing is only their strong vitality and huge body volume, compared to the treacherous evil arts of people in the evil way, I would rather choose them as opponents." ”

"My God, with the strong vitality of the orcs, it is not easy to kill them even with powerful guns, isn't such an opponent terrifying?" Chris said in disbelief: "Could it be that the cultivators of the East can also use their bodies to resist guns?"

"Officer Chris, your icicle attack doesn't seem to be worse than a high-powered firearm, right?, so what's so scary about orcs?"

"I have no problem shooting an orc into a sieve with an ice pick, the lower-level kind, of course. Problem: An orc who had been shot into a sieve could have rushed up and slit my throat with ease, their speed was terrifying, and I couldn't dodge it. Chris shrugged helplessly and said, "Unless I'm carrying a Gallint machine gun, I have to have enough ammo." ”

"***, orcs are just a strange creature between humans and demons, is it so terrifying?" Zhang Biao looked at Li Daocheng with some surprise.

"According to our Taoist view, orcs are a kind of hybrid descendants of demons and humans, a peculiar group formed by multi-generational inheritance, it stands to reason that they also belong to the demon class, but their demon blood is not as pure as the pure demon class, and the ability should not be as good as the pure demon class. But there are rules in this world, and the existence of all things in heaven and earth must follow some wonderful rules of balance. It's like humans don't have as strong a body as demons, but they have incomparable wisdom and have developed a Taoist method that can fight demons. It is not surprising that the orcs in the West are not born with mana like ordinary demon races, nor do they have the wisdom to protect themselves like humans, so it is not surprising that they have evolved a life force beyond humans and ordinary demon races to ensure the survival and reproduction of the race. ”

Li Daocheng spoke eloquently, showing the demeanor of a professional magic stick: "Officer Chris, you must know that if you are a pure demon clan or a master who cultivates Taoism, even if you carry a Garint machine gun, it may not be safe, because many times you will not even have the opportunity to buckle the board machine." ”

Wright and Chris shrugged their shoulders in unison, and the two clearly did not agree with Lee's words.

"Alright. Merton knocked on the table and said, "Whether it's a cultivator of the evil sect or an orc from the West, in short, the complexity of this case is beyond our imagination. After our investigation, we found that the murder of the teenager and the murder on the cliff may be related, and it is related to **. ”

"What does it have to do with **?" Li Xiao and the three of them stared, and their jaws almost fell.
