It was the third night, and all three dead were old men.

Lin Shouxi lifted the white cloth and observed the faces of the deceased, their expressions were quiet, without the slightest hint of pain, as if they were asleep.

"They don't have a single scar on them, and likewise, we haven't detected any evil spirits, so they don't look like evil spirits." Du Che stood aside and sighed, "If it weren't for the three deaths in a row, I would even think that this is the end of my life." ”

Sanhua Cat sat on the side, his expression was rare and solemn, "Criminal Officer Linti, have you found anything?" ”

Lin Shouxi shook his head.

The three of them died so commonly, and he didn't see anything strange about it.

Lin Shouxi stood up and looked at the young man named Du Che beside him, Du Che was dressed in white clothes similar to Zhong Wushi, his body was thin, his hair was scattered, he was carrying a sword and a long bow, and his waist was wrapped around his quiver, he seemed to have not closed his eyes for several nights, his eyes were dark around his sockets, and his face, which was not bright, was more like a living corpse.

"Let's go take a look."

Lin Shouxi grabbed the cat back on his shoulder and walked into the fairy village.

There is not much difference between Xiancun and Rencun, except that there are more two- or three-storey wooden and bamboo houses here, and the location of the buildings is chaotic, barely squeezing out a road leading directly to the sacred mulberry tree.

From a distance, the huge sacred mulberry tree glowed with silver glow in the moonlight, and the branches and leaves seemed to be covered with filamentous frost.

"Where did this sacred tree come from?"

When Lin Shouxi looked at it, his heart twitched slightly, as if the thorns on the tree had pierced into the ventricles, arousing the pain deep in the bone marrow.

"I don't know." "However, according to the elders of the village, this sacred tree was grown three hundred years ago, when the Three Realms Village had not yet been established, and people called it Rihe, which means the blessings of the gods to the world. ”

"Well, if one day the Divine Tree also withers, then the Three Realms Village will probably disappear as well, and we will have to trek through the land again to find a new home." The three-flowered cat is also very affectionate towards the sacred tree, as if the place where the giant tree falls in the shade is where its real palace is located.

Speaking of this, the three-flowered cat also said: "By the way, it will still bloom, but its flowers are not fragile at all, but like thin silver sheets, and the silver coins that were awarded to you earlier were made from these collected flowers." ”

As the three-flowered cat spoke, the vision in front of him suddenly widened, and it was a square in front of the mansion, and the ground was flat.

Almost all the cultivators of the Immortal Village gathered here, and they sat in this square, taking care of each other, to get through the long night.

The house in the back is the mansion of the three-flowered cat.

Its mansion was not luxurious, but just an ordinary mansion, with two stone lions by the door, and the lanterns hanging on them illuminated them majestically.

Lin Shouxi saw Zhong Wushi again.

The man of the Divine Mountain Demon Slayer also sat here, looking around nervously, unwilling to let go of any clues.

It is the duty of the Demon Slaying Division to kill the demons, and if there is a great disturbance here, even if the thick fog dissipates in the future, I am afraid that he will be punished when he returns to the mountain.

Lin Shouxi found a place to sit down, and the three-flowered cat stood on his shoulder, and looked around vigilantly, its nose moved slightly, as if it was sniffing the smell of the wind.

One person had already died tonight, and it was reasonable that he would not die again, but no one dared to let down his guard.

"How can you be sure it was the shadows?" Lin Shouxi asked Du Che.

"Who else but him?"

Duche said in an affirmative tone, "I used to live in the Devil's Lair, in a sense, I was the apprentice of the Shadow, and I know him well...... This kind of invisible means of killing people, no one but him can do it. ”

"Have you seen a shadow?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Nope." "The shadow has no real face, it lives in a mirror, through which it conveys commands to me, and when I steal out of the Lord, I break the mirror and injure it......"

People who live in the mirror......

Lin Shouxi couldn't imagine what kind of life it was.

"What is the realm of shadows?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"I'm not sure." Du Che's expression was solemn, "But it's very likely to be an immortal." ”

"No, it's not possible." On the other side, Zhong Wushi suddenly turned his head and said firmly: "He must be an immortal." If we are not immortals, who can kill people under our noses? Could it be a ghost? ”

The three-flowered cat was already nervous, and it was even more exciting to hear the ghost word.

Lin Shouxi couldn't help but think of the Grim Reaper he encountered in Dragon Scale Town......

At this moment, their speculations were all powerless, and terror hung over the top of the fairy village, and even the divine mulberry tree could not comfort them. The killer is hiding beside them, but no one knows who he is or who he is about to kill.

After a brief exchange, the fairy village fell into dead silence again.

The man in gray walked back and forth in the square, waking everyone who was about to fall asleep in time.

Finally, there was light in the sky, and the long night was coming to an end.

Just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Shouxi suddenly got up, rushed somewhere like an arrow, and he stretched out his hand and stroked an old man who wanted to hang his head. He was already moving quickly, but when he reached out, the old man's cervical vertebrae seemed to have lost all their toughness, and he collapsed on his stomach, and his snort and heartbeat disappeared at the same time.

The sudden change suddenly woke up the people who had been drowsy, and the uneasy commotion broke out again.

Du Che and Zhong Wushi also came immediately, and they looked at the dead old man, equally puzzled.

"What, what's going on? Didn't you say that only one person died in one night? The three-flowered cat also jumped from outside the crowd and pinched on Lin Shouxi's back.

Lin Shouxi didn't speak, he knew that this old man was likely to die because of him.

- The shadow wants to kill people to show him in front of him.

The sun was on, and after a brief panic, most people were still secretly rejoicing for the rest of their lives.

The crowd evacuated, and Lin Shouxi entered the mansion with the cat, followed by Du Che.

Lin Shouxi told him roughly what had happened in Dragonscale Town, and Du Che frowned, and after denouncing the Devil's Nest for not believing his words, he promised to immediately mobilize his men and set about retaking Dragonscale Town.

"Have you met the Son?" Duche asked.

"Met!" Sanhua Cat immediately said: "She is a ruthless little girl, very bad and bad, and almost killed us all." ”

"Isn't even Lin Gongzi her opponent?" Duche asked worriedly.

"We couldn't tell the winner." Lin Shouxi said.

"A shadow is difficult enough, and now there is another Son......"

Du Che shook his head slightly, and after a moment he gritted his teeth and said, "But no matter what, Dragon Scale Town must be taken back!" The heart of the two-headed python will soon be delivered, and if it falls into the hands of the hive, the Lord will never be able to possess the divine body. ”

The three-flowered cat nodded vigorously.

In the past, it didn't care about any god body, after all, being a cat was also very happy, but today it witnessed the innocent death of the old man in Xiancun, and the feeling of powerlessness surged deep into its limbs, it wanted to become stronger, and wanted to protect its own people!

Du Che told Lin Shouxi about the Devil's Nest again, and then left.

The mansion was empty, and in the blink of an eye, there was only one person and one cat left.

"Detective Lin, do you have any ideas?" Sanhua Cat asked solemnly.

"Nope." Lin Shouxi replied very directly.

"That grandpa died in front of you just now, you ...... Is there really nothing to see? Sanhua Cat asked suspiciously.

"Nope." Lin Shouxi replied again.

"Do you have any suspicions?"

"Yes."

"Who is it?" The three-flowered cat is refreshed.

"Zhong Wushi and Duche." He said.

"Why?"

"Because I only know them."

"......," Sanhua's pointed ears pulled together, "now is not the time to joke." ”

Lin Shouxi didn't joke, this was his intuition, there was no evidence for the time being, but fortunately, he had a way to verify it.

He was sleepy, but he did not rest, but waited in front of the sword to whisper.

"Good morning, Master."

Xiaoyu came early in the morning.

In the past two days, Xiaoyu has not been lazy at all, she has changed into her clothes for practicing martial arts, tied her clothes, tied her ponytail, equipped with a wooden sword, and came to Xiaojian Tower on time, greeted her master warmly, and her cheeks were so tender and cute.

"Good morning."

Lin Shouxi smiled.

"Master looks very tired, can't he have slept yet?" Xiao Yu asked worriedly.

"Well, I'm waiting for the whisper." Lin Shouxi said.

Xiao Yu was flattered, she blinked her watery eyes, looked at the sword in front of her, and muttered, "Master is really good...... Xiaoyu has the best master in the world. ”

Lin Shouxi was not too embarrassed, he hesitated and then spoke: "Actually...... I wanted to ask Xiaoyu for a favor in advance. ”

"Eh, what's the deal?" After all, Xiaoyu is only seven years old, and her strength is limited, and she is afraid that she will not be able to do it.

"I want to ask Xiaoyu to help Master inquire about someone." Lin Shouxi said: "That person's name is Zhong Wushi, the clock of the ancient bell, all the time, he is the person who guards the mountain to kill the evil division, you just need to help me ask, whether there is such a person in the evil division of the evil division." ”

"Slay the Evil Division?" The whisper was slightly startled.

Lin Shouxi originally thought that this task was too difficult for her at the age of seven, but who knew that Xiaoyu nodded immediately after a short period of astonishment, and agreed: "Don't worry, Master, it's okay to wrap it up on me." ”

"Is it really okay?" Lin Shouxi was not very relieved.

"My mother is an important person in the evil slaying division, if it's just a list, I have a way." Xiao Yu swore by it.

"That'...... There is a whisper of Lao. Lin Shouxi didn't expect it to be so smooth, and immediately relaxed.

Xiao Yu was very happy to be able to help the master, and she didn't think that this was the master sending herself, after all, the master was beating the bad guys outside the sacred mountain, and it was a matter of course for the apprentice to help inside.

After a short but smooth exchange, Lin Shouxi began to instruct Xiao Yu to practice swords.

I don't know if it's because I watched the battle last night, Xiao Yu's swordsmanship has improved rapidly, and it is very different from the girl who held a sword three days ago and was still soft. She was wearing a snow-white sword robe, with bare young feet, her steps were precise, her eyes followed the sword, and her movements became more and more fluid.

The light shone in from outside the sword tower, and the shadows cast by the flower windows flowed in her canvas-like clothes, light and dark clear.

Lin Shouxi watched this scene quietly.

Although Xiaoyu's movements are not perfect, they are also pleasing to the eye, even the flaws of some movements are clumsy and cute, which makes people unbearable to criticize, Lin Shouxi can't help but think about what she will look like when she grows up.

Of course, there is no point in thinking like this, she is only seven years old, even if it is their date, it will be nine years later, and maybe she will have such a lovely girl by then.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Xiao He again, and he didn't know if Xiao He would like this little apprentice...... Well, although Xiao He's heart has never been broad-minded, he shouldn't even eat a little girl's vinegar.

Lin Shouxi looked at Xiao Yu Wujian, thinking about the mess in a short period of relaxation.

Xiao Yu finished practicing a set of sword moves, stood up in front of the sword, and said with a little shame: "There are a few more postures that are wrong...... I memorized it very seriously, but ...... Alas, I'm still too stupid. ”

"Xiaoyu is already very powerful." Lin Shouxi said sincerely.

Xiaoyu didn't listen, her self-requirements were getting higher and higher, she turned her back and wanted to punish herself, Lin Shouxi hurriedly stopped, and said: "Xiaoyu, if you blindly demand the accuracy of swordsmanship, it is easy to get into a dead end, and now these mistakes are your room to retract, which is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

"Really......" Xiaoyu turned around, his eyes gradually brightening.

"Master never lies." Lin Shouxi said.

"Master is so good!" Xiao Yu was even more moved, she opened her hand and hugged the sword, as if she was hugging the master.

"By the way, don't forget to cultivate your mind when you cultivate your sword, the Dao Heart is the divine wall of cultivators, and it is the guarantee to protect you through many disasters." Lin Shouxi said earnestly.

"I understand, I will cultivate my mind well, and I will resolutely not be a bad woman like the Holy Son!" Xiao Yu has always had an overnight vendetta, she is still haunted by yesterday's bad holy son, and even dreamed of bullying the bad holy son to avenge her master when she grew up.

"Well, I believe in whispers."

Lin Shouxi looked at Xiao Yu's radiant appearance, smiled and nodded.

Xiao Yu listened to Master's gentle and nice voice, her heart trembled, she was also a little embarrassed, her cheeks were slightly red, and she said, "Of course, mainly because my master is definitely much better than the master of the Bad Holy Son. ”

"Hmm...... Yes. Lin Shouxi didn't have much confidence.

There is no name of Master Mu Shijing on the list of Yunding, but in the martial arts, she almost acquiesced that she was the real number one in the world, and she single-handedly trained a Taoist disciple like Mu Shijing with a clear heart, and even destroyed the Demon Gate in an understatement......

"Of course." Xiao Yu swore an oath, she wrinkled her pretty face, and said: "Obviously he is an orthodox master of the Daomen, but he has taught such disciples who have betrayed the Demon Gate, huh...... The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, either her master's eyes are blind, or she is also unskilled, and she is an inner demon! ”

Xiaoyu was already angry all night, but at this moment he opened the chatterbox, and he was even more clever when he said bad things:

"And generally speaking, a bad master is far more hateful than a bad apprentice! Such a master has become the master of the Daomen, wouldn't that Daomen be about to become a demon cave? How much does this have to be misunderstood...... This, how can this work! ”

As he spoke, he vaguely remembered something, and asked:

"By the way, Master, you ...... Do you know that Son? ”

"Hmm."

"That'...... Is there any relationship between you? ”

"Nothing."

For this little girl who is far away in the sacred mountain, Lin Shouxi has nothing to hide, on the contrary, he is more willing to show the truth to this innocent girl, "Don't think nonsense, I am an old enemy with her." ”

"Nemesis?" Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, and understood it literally: "Are they enemies who live together?" ”

"It's the enemy who is destined for it."

Lin Shouxi smiled helplessly and said, "I had a life-and-death battle with her, and both of them ended up here, and my senior brother and sister ...... They were all captured by her master, and their fate is still unknown. ”

"Ah......h

Xiao Yu was stunned, although she guessed that the master's life experience would be a little miserable, but she never thought that it was almost ruined: "They ...... They are such hateful people, they are simply unconscionable, and heaven cannot tolerate it! Such a person should be thundered and destroyed by heaven! ”

When Xiao Yu heard about such evil deeds, she became angry, and used the words she had learned all her life to criticize and write, and now she is like a fire dragon in her pajamas, opening her mouth to spit out blazing flames.

She raised her face solemnly and said, "Master, tell me where your senior brother and sister are locked up, and I will immediately ask my father and mother to save them!" ”

"No need, it's too far away."

"Far? Is it outside of Mount Kinabalu? ”

"Yes."

"But there is an end to the sky, there are corners of the sea, no matter how far you go, you can always reach it, Master believes me...... Although Xiaoyu is young, my father and mother are really powerful. Xiaoyu's confidence in her father and mother is far greater than herself.

"I believe in whispers." Lin Shouxi said gently, "But that place is too far away...... Xiaoyu should never be able to go for a lifetime. ”

"Where the hell is it......" whispered anxiously.

"When Xiaoyu grows up, I'll tell you." Lin Shouxi said.

"Well, when the time comes, let's go together and destroy the Bad Son and her Master." Xiao Yu compromised and raised his palm.

The master and apprentice high-fived each other in the air and made an agreement.

After the sword practice in the morning, Xiao Yu hurriedly went to help the master with errands, investigating the person named Zhong Wushi, Lin Shouxi slept for a while, and walked into the depths of the mansion after recuperating his mind.

Walking through the front hall, Lin Shouxi saw a powerful plaque with the words 'Heavenly Maiden Sanhua'.

Inside the house, the three-flowered cat was flipping through a book, looking unusually serious.

When Lin Shouxi walked in, it closed the book and stared at Lin Shouxi intently.

"How...... What's wrong? Lin Shouxi was confused.

"The deity has something I want to ask you."

Sanhua Cat said seriously: "Or...... Go and kiss the Son of the Devil's Nest. ”
