Section 2: Evil

"Imperial Sword Immortal Master, this name sounds quite intimidating," Li Yuntao muttered in his heart.

"This is an honorific title, I heard the master say that in fact, the people generally call them wandering people, and there are also places called corpse chasers, and there are even those who are confused with Fangshi. However, the so-called sedan chair is carried by everyone, let's call it a fairy master, and people will feel more or less comfortable, and they will naturally have more effort to do things. Lao Li continued to elaborate.

'Corpse chaser?' Isn't the Xiangxi corpse chaser playing ghost hunting and zombie fighting, and sending the corpse home for burial? I didn't expect to meet here. It is not very similar to the dress in the Hong Kong film in the impression, but it is somewhat similar to Yan Chixia in A Chinese Ghost Story. Searching in his heart for the memories that have been worn out to the point of only scattered fragments after more than ten years of growth, Li Yuntao can't help but sigh a little, thinking that those memories when he was first born were so vivid, as clear and real as yesterday's yellow flowers.

Now it's blurry like an old movie that I found to pass the time when I was bored, and I watched it, but I couldn't remember the specific content.

Li Yuntao nodded and answered, 'I wrote it down,' and stopped talking.

With the kung fu foundation that my father has laid since he was a child, the footsteps of the father and son walking together are neat in Xiaoji Town, and before the tea is ready, they turn the last street corner, and take the tea shop and the only guest sitting at the table in the center of the canopy into view.

Almost as soon as he saw the man here, Li Yuntao saw the man turn his head, and a pair of bright eyes shone himself inside.

Lao Li's movements paused slightly, and then after a distance of more than ten meters, he hugged his fists and bowed down, and the movement of running under his feet slowed down and changed to a fast walk, although he walked fast but not messy at all, and there was a calm bearing of a martial artist among the meteors.

"This immortal master is invited, and under Li Lifeng, he is the leader of the patrol room in this Xiaoji Town." Daddy Li reported his background while saluting, which is also the basic rule on the scene.

"Song Tingyu, the immortal master doesn't dare to be it, it's just a Royal Sword Gate ranger." The guest was no longer as arrogant as he was in front of a group of children, he unhurriedly put down a pair of wooden chopsticks in his hand, stood up and returned a fist salute and reported to his home.

"The immortal master is polite, how can an ordinary ranger have such a bearing and demeanor as an immortal master, and he can resist the sword, but he is not the same as the ordinary martial artists who are fighting in the rivers and lakes such as us." Lao Li came as soon as he opened his mouth.

Song Tingyu put down his fists and didn't say anything, but there was a little more smile on his face. Obviously in a good mood.

Li Yuntao secretly observed the immortal master, and entered the tea shop with his father at the table, and the three of them sat down together.

At this time, there were four plates of small snacks on the square wooden table, fried soybeans and broad beans each accounted for a plate, a plate of mung bean cake, and the last few slices of boiled and cut sauce beef were a plate, and the teapot in the middle was replaced by a purple clay pot with a general gray-brown color.

At this time, the cat was burying his head in dealing with the remaining beef slices on the plate, chewing it so happily.

Glancing at the food on the table, Li Yuntao knew in his heart that since he had meat, his two eldest sons would not be wronged. Ordinary people can eat meat once a week to live a good life, such as their own family, a warrior with an official father, only one meal every other day. It's because I work in an official family, and I have never worried about eating salt at home. Occasionally, when my dad goes out to socialize, he will bring back some duck legs and chicken necks and other bits and pieces.

"This time, the Feixin passed down from the door said that it was a big case, and I could use the Feixin to pass the book to me, so I thought that the matter was very urgent. As soon as Li Zhutou came, he told me the details, so that I could have a bottom in my heart. ”

Lao Li smiled, waved his eyes and swept around the tea shop on the street, and said: "The immortal master is a guest from afar, presumably the boat and car have been tiring for the past few days, and now it is noon, it is better for our brothers to make an east, and first pick up the wind and wash the dust for the immortal master, how about it?" ”

Liu Yuan, the tea shop, sat leisurely behind the counter and eavesdropped with his ears stupeping, and was swept away by Lao Li's sharp gaze, and quickly lowered his head and pretended to be busy.

In this tea shop hall with five square tables, only one table has guests, what can he be busy with?

Song Tingyu knew in his heart, he couldn't listen to ordinary people, obviously the case was already very tricky, otherwise he wouldn't have sent a flying letter.

"In this way, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." He smiled and clenched his fists, but the smile on his face stiffened slightly.

"That's good, the immortal master and come with me, the restaurant on the table in this Xiaoji town must belong to the Chengfeng of the East City, and the private room on the third floor of his house has a quiet environment and elegant furnishings, which is suitable for catching the wind and washing the dust with the immortal master. I know the shopkeeper well, and I can get one now. Seeing that Song Tingyu agreed, Lao Li hurriedly said enthusiastically, while saying that he had already gotten up and made a false gesture.

"Then there will be the head of the Lao Li team." Song Tingyu smacked his lips, he was busy rushing to the sect mission these days, and all he ate on the way was dry food and bacon. At this time, there is a mung bean cake and two slices of sauced beef, and there is just a little more taste in the mouth.

But the more I drank this tea, the hungrier I became, and when I caught up with the meal, the gluttonous worms in my stomach rebelled one after another. Besides, most of the evil people act after the evening, so it's good to go to dinner first.

Without delay, he picked up the cowhide backpack resting on the stool next to him with one hand and stepped it on one shoulder. The black cat took a slice of cooked beef in his mouth and jumped on his shoulder very consciously.

Lao Li winked at Xiao Li and said, "I'll take Song Xianchang to Chengfeng Tower to hold a banquet, you go to the room and call all the brothers on duty, and Master Qin and Wang Shuzhi from the county government also call together." ”

"Okay." Li Yuntao understood in his heart, it seems that he wants to report the account in the yamen, and this meal is not cheap.

Seeing Lao Li and the Song Tingyu Immortal Master leave side by side, Li Yuntao hurriedly took a cloth bag and packed up the three plates of food on the table. It's a pity that the last piece of cooked beef was taken away by the cat, which made him feel a little regretful.

He poured another bowl of freshly boiled tea, and he didn't feel too hot, so he blew on the edge of the bowl and took a big sip.

Tsk, the taste is bitter, after swallowing, the tongue turns a few traces of sweetness, and there is a faint tea fragrance between the lips and teeth.

"It's a good pot of tea. Pity... You can't take it with the teapot. Li Yuntao shook his head, drank the remaining half bowl of tea buffalo, put down the tea bowl, and strode out of the tea shop lobby with his legs, running in the direction of the county government on the other side.

Li Yuntao has always been neat, and the left and right are just errands, which is just a small meaning for people like him who are used to running around the city.

There are more guests in Chengfeng Lou at noon than the deserted tea hall in Liu Ji Tea Shop, but it is also very lively. The main entrance lobby is only open to the outside to welcome guests, and the seated guests have also chosen a sheltered corner to eat.

Li Yuntao was not qualified to attend the reception banquet, so he could only choose a table where no one was there and sit down, eating the fried beans he brought back from his pocket. He didn't want to waste the three big money left in his pocket.

There are not many customers, and Li Yuntao is also familiar with each other, so the second child of the running hall shop didn't push him out. On the contrary, while there was no work at hand, he leaned on the stool next to him, and chatted with him while grabbing beans to eat.

"It's not a small time for your father to bring that master today, even the master and the scribe have to come forward to receive it, and if it is higher, I am afraid that the county master will personally entertain it." Xiao Er had a gray and white rag on one shoulder that could not be seen in its original color, and the navy blue square scarf hat on his head was tilted to the side.

"I haven't seen the county lord personally entertaining the guests. When was the last time this uncle came forward to socialize, do you know Second Brother Chen? Li Yuntao put more than a dozen fried soybeans in his palm on the table to the shopkeeper, and took out a handful of broad beans to eat.

"Coincidentally, the county magistrate came out to entertain last time at the table we set in Chengfeng Building. At that time, our buddies were also serving, and you asked the right person. Second Brother Chen was very satisfied with Li Yuntao's filial soybeans, and proudly twisted the beans and threw them into his mouth.

"What kind of character is the master of the labor county?" Li Yuntao

"Of course it's a big shot, our county master has a big pedigree, and he usually doesn't even show his face, not an official who is bigger than him, can he show his head to entertain?

That time~ Hey, let me tell you, this uncle can be called a magnificent, with more than 20 entourages in front and back, all of them riding high-headed horses in iron armor, and carrying six brands. It was the first time I had seen a four-wheeled cart drawn by four horses.

But then, let me tell you, no matter how big the official is, he should eat the yellow hair wind here or the same, and the day is almost the same as today, the wind is strong and the dust is all over the sky, and when the county master and the one came in, they covered their faces with ashes. Not to mention how embarrassed it is. Haha~" Second Brother Chen couldn't help but be happy when he talked about the embarrassment of the big man, revealing a mouth of half-yellow teeth.

"That's it, this unlucky and desolate wind doesn't care about the size of the official hat on your head, just pat your face and pat your face, no ambiguity." Li Yuntao nodded in agreement.

"I heard that it was an inspection or something, but I don't know what grade it is. Having said that, this time your father entertained this person who didn't look like a big man, why did even the master come. What is the origin? Second Brother Chen withdrew from his memories and turned his head to ask Li Yuntao.

Li Yuntao's eyes swept left and right, the appearance of the chicken thief seemed to be about to reveal some secrets, and when Second Brother Chen saw his style, he hurriedly leaned forward.

"I heard it's an immortal master." Li Yuntao whispered in his ear

"What? Immortal ~ Master?!

The mage who jumped into the big god pit in the countryside and was abducted has heard a lot, what the hell is the immortal master? It is rumored that there are high and high immortal figures in this world, but I haven't seen any of them. A few years ago, it was easy to say that he was a master, and in the end it was confirmed that he was just a man of the rivers and lakes who excelled in light work, and he could jump out of the air by means of tree branches, but he... But it's a thief. It's really a big disappointment for me. ”

Second Brother Chen shook his head and sighed, as if the square scarf on his head was about to fall off.

"But I heard the old man say that in the past, there were some capable monsters in our area, who could fly against the wind, and my father said that when he was a child, he saw a weasel flying into the sky with my chicken in his mouth.

I thought that eighty percent of them were lying to me, they would have such a great ability to fly, and they would come to my chickens, this monster is not promising. ”

Oh, I can tell you that he's a real thing, and he has a demon by his side. Li Yuntao smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't say this anymore.

"Listening to my father's conversation, this person came because of a case, and it seems to be support from above. My father didn't leak any news about this case, second brother, you are well-informed here, do you have any rumors for us to penetrate? Seeing that the dozen or so soybeans had entered Second Brother Chen's mouth, Li Yuntao handed over the three plump broad beans in his hand.

"The case? Think about it. Hey~~ It seems that the day before yesterday, Zhang Goudan's father Zhang Da complained in the vernacular that several houses in the West Market were closed off the streets, and they didn't even give it over. The people who live in the West Market are all poor haha, the house is not big and the alley is small, a group of cold people are catching the road quickly, and they have to take a detour, the road in the West Market is dirty and smelly, and there are only a few alleys that are easy to walk. I wonder if this has anything to do with the case? ”

Li Yuntao thought that less than an hour ago, he had called his father out from Xishi, and his father had instructed his brothers to continue to enclose the place before leaving, which obviously matched the clues of Second Brother Chen.

So he nodded at Chen Er: "It seems that there is such a thing." ”

Hi~

Chen Eryi slapped his thigh, "That's right." If this is the case, there are still a few rumors. ”

"Yesterday, the third child of the Cheng family said that Zhang Goudan had to provoke the dogs in the city to bark every day, but there was no movement in the West Market yesterday and the day before yesterday. At the time, I thought it was strange. ”

"And when your second uncle sent meat over yesterday, he said that there may be a new butcher in the West Market, and asked our shopkeeper to continue to take the goods of the Li family's butcher shop for the sake of many years of trading." Saying that, Chen Er threw a broad bean into his mouth, chewing it crunchy.

"Your second uncle's nose, nothing else, has killed animals for all these years, and is most familiar with the smell of blood. I want to be inseparable from that case. ”

Li Yuntao thought so, his father Li family boss is the head of the patrol room, the second uncle relied on his father's relationship, in the East Market to sell meat, since he can remember, he often went to the second uncle's house to get meat, the pig tail pig ears cut off the scraps and oil residue left over from the oil refining he did not eat less, the second uncle's cousin Li Yunhai had been helping in the shop early, but he would not grab this bit with himself.

Regarding his second uncle's nose, Li Yuntao still trusts it.

Then the case is generally clear. can make the patrol room seal an alley street, the victims are obviously not as simple as one or two families and a few people, even the dog is silent, and the smell of blood can make the second uncle who went to the West Market to buy goods smell, this case is really big to pierce the sky.

Thinking about it carefully, Li Yuntao couldn't help but gasp, no wonder his father didn't give him a little bit of wind, this thing is really not done by ordinary martial arts people.

No wonder you want to invite an immortal master, an immortal master, an immortal master, I hope you really have the ability.

"What's going on, Brother Yun, have you figured it out?" Chen Er next to him watched the change in Li Yuntao's face without blinking, and when he inhaled, it seemed that he had obviously analyzed the head and tail, and his heart itched as if a cat was scratching, so he hurriedly asked.

"How do you know I'll be able to figure it out?" Li Yuntao raised his eyebrows

"Hey, the Li family's 'geek' who doesn't know in Xiaoji Town. When you are young, you are not an ordinary person..."Second Brother Chen naturally accompanied a smiling face, but before he finished speaking, the guests at the table next to him just finished eating and left, and came to work by himself, so he had to grab the rag on his shoulder with his right hand and get up reluctantly, "I'll be busy later, tell me about it." ”

"Hurry up, you can't delay your serious work, otherwise the shopkeeper will have to deduct his wages." Li Yuntao wished that he would not mix blindly and hurry up to catch people.

This case is only a preliminary analysis, and I know that it is powerful, if Chen Er, who has no door on his lips, listens to it, most of the people in Xiaoji Town will not know about it, such a big and bad case, it will not cause some panic, even if it is a liar, I don't believe it.

If there is a homicide, it will be investigated first, and when the case is cleared and dealt with properly, then the patrol room and the county government will jointly stamp and issue a notice to inform the township. At this time, even if they know that there is a dead person, ordinary people will not have any nervousness, after all, the case has been closed, and the murderer has been arrested, there is nothing to be afraid of.

But this case, I'm afraid it's not so easy to cover. Since the alley has been sealed, at least a dozen people from a few families have died, and even the dogs have not been spared. With so many people dying overnight, and the murderer who committed the crime is too lethal, when will he or it commit the next crime?

In the past, I heard the old man say that the demon was mostly the inexplicable lack of chickens, sheep, cattle and horses at home, and when encountering fierce beasts, the loss of the shepherd or the people was nothing more than that. It's rare to hear of demons eating people, and at least three towns named after auspicious characters have never heard of this kind of thing.

Taking a deep breath, Li Yuntao exhaled slowly, and the broad beans he was holding in his hand were suddenly not fragrant.

Always think of a way to let Daddy take him to the scene to see, if you can see the immortal master's means, it would be great.

Unconsciously, Li Yuntao's thoughts had flown to the dilapidated buildings crisscrossed by alleys in the back block of Xishi.

At this moment, a figure broke into the lobby of Chengfeng Building against the wind and sand outside, and his shaking shadow shattered Li Yuntao's slightly frozen gaze because of his thoughts, and pulled his attention back to reality again.

Only then did I notice that the sky outside had become more and more gloomy at some point, it was obviously noon, and there were no clouds, but the sky was so dark that it seemed like a hole was about to leak. The barren wind of the call sign seems to be a little more bleak and ruthless.

"Brother Gu?" Li Yuntao, who came to know, was the one he had seen before, who was guarding the alley to close the position.

Li Yuntao's face was a little surprised, and it was really a little different from when he saw him before. Sweating, blue lips, pale and full of anxiety, it was clear that something bad had happened. Lowered his eyes and swept down, the corners of his boots stained with maroon.

It's blood.

Li Yuntao's pupils constricted.

can enter the patrol team in the town, and his skills are naturally the best in the entire town, and his courage, martial arts, and strength are all outstanding. It's not comparable to the ability of those rivers and lakes in the mountains and forests to tout each other.

Say that a good man is definitely not mixed with any water.

Such a man's face was frightened like this, Li Yuntao sighed in his heart, something was wrong.

"Where's your father?" Gu Pingcang saw Li Yuntao sitting in the hall at first sight, and the other diners chose a corner to avoid the wind, and his table was relatively close to the center. Without waiting to elaborate, Gu Ping opened his mouth and asked, the voice that rushed out was a little hoarse and dry.

Li Yuntao stretched out his hand and pointed to the staircase, "The private room on the third floor." ”

The corners of Gu Pingcang's eyes twitched slightly, and he rushed up the stairs with three steps and two steps, startling Second Brother Chen, who was cleaning up the table and chopsticks and walking in the direction of the back kitchen, and almost bumped into it.

When Gu Ping went upstairs, Li Yuntao had already seen the soles of his shoes raised, and a layer of sand and gravel was stuck to it by something black and brown, obviously not yet dry. It also determined the judgment in his heart, which was blood.

Coming from the West Market to the East Market, you do have to pass through a few wells. However, water resources are precious in Xiaoji Town, and most of the people are careful with their water and will not scatter it everywhere. Second, coming from Xishi, it is the fastest to take the official road repaired by bluestone, even if the official road is covered by the sand blown by the barren wind, even if there are some stains under your feet, there will not be so many black and brown things. Besides, this thing is too much different in color from the mud of Shimizu and the mud.

'Daddy isn't watching at this time, why don't you sneak over and take a look?' Anyway, the place knows where it is, it's a big deal not to go forward, the West Market is full of low squares and shacks, and there are two buildings open on the side of the market for visitors from the West to play, although the three-story wooden building is not high, but it can also take in the back alley of the dwellings.

Listening to the movement of Gu Yu quickly stepping on the floor, Li Yuntao rubbed the broad bean in his hand and walked away.

With a decision in his heart, he threw the broad beans into his mouth, suddenly got up and went straight out of Chengfeng Tower, and went to the west of the town.

Chen Er, who wanted to continue chatting after returning from delivering the dishes, couldn't help but feel a little regretful and angry when he saw Li Yuntao's back disappear into the street in front of him.

This Li Yuntao, after talking about the case, how could he turn his head and run away.

Anyway, just before the work at hand was finished, he put the table and stool where Li Yuntao had sat properly, took a rag and went to the previous table to clean up carefully. As soon as he wiped the table a few times, he heard the heavy impact of the heavy object on the tiles above his head rushing into his cochlea.

Chen Er's prestige was in the direction of the main entrance of the hall outside.

Could it be that the strong wind blew the plaque down and smashed it on the eaves tiles on the first floor? So unlucky.

As a result, his eyes turned away, and he couldn't move his gaze.

A man dressed as a ranger, carrying a bronze greatsword in his hand, flew down the street across the street and over the roof. The movements are clean and neat, and they are good-looking. There was a dark shadow beside him, and I don't know what it was.

However, at this moment, the sound of bricks and tiles overhead rose again, and a layer of sand fell from under the eaves that poked out in front of the gate, and I saw a majestic and mighty figure like a bear standing up, drawing an arc and smashing down on the bluestone slab ground in front of the main entrance, and the feet at the landing stirred up a circle of floating sand.

The man bent his legs to relieve the impact of the landing, but the end of the scabbard flicked around his waist knocked out a few cracks in the bluestone slab and shattered a few pieces of debris.

It's not the patrol house boss that the entire Xiaoji Town recognizes, who can Li Lifeng, the eldest man of the Li family?

Knock knock, a series of footsteps sounded from the stairs, the staircase made an overwhelming crunching sound, Chen Er and the shopkeeper were stunned and turned their faces to look in the direction of the staircase, seven or eight sturdy catchers hurriedly went downstairs, seeing the expressions on the faces of the shopkeeper and Xiao Er, they didn't even leave a word of explanation, and went to the west when they got out of the lobby.

"Ouch, ouch, Li Jialang and other old men, no matter how anxious you are to handle the case, it's not easy to go out of the window, we are such official figures, how can we learn from the reckless behavior of the rivers and lakes."

After another moment, I saw that the master seemed to be in a hurry, but he walked down the stairs unhurriedly, accompanied by the scribe.

"Find the shopkeeper, keep the seat upstairs first, something happens at the yamen, we have to hurry up and get down to business first." When the master saw the expressions on the faces of the shopkeeper and the full house of diners, he knew that he was frightened by the arrests, and quickly interrupted the topic.

"Yes, yes, Master Qin walks slowly, this table has just opened, and the dishes are not yet served, so I will definitely keep them for you." The shopkeeper hurriedly accompanied a smiling face, and the old face full of folds was like a chrysanthemum. The gray beard looks like it has a lot more vicissitudes than Master Qin's goatee.

Although Master Qin calls himself an old man, he is not very old, at least his beard is still black. He got the response of the shopkeeper, and he was satisfied, and he went out of Chengfeng Tower together accompanied by the Wang scribe.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and ask the back kitchen to stop burning the dishes in the back, and wait for this group of masters to come back, and the dishes that have cooled down in front will be removed first." The shopkeeper looked at the shopkeeper who was in a daze, and hurriedly reminded.

Usually quite clever and alone, how can I be stupid today.

But he didn't know that the second brother Chen was turning in his mind at this time was the previous conversation with Li Yuntao, and subconsciously, he felt that something bad had happened.

"Huh...? Ay! What should I do if I get out of the pot and start cooking? Second Brother Chen asked as he walked to the back kitchen.

"What else can we do, let's eat it ourselves. You have to have the ability, and you will recommend this dish to the next table of guests who come in. The shopkeeper rolled his eyes angrily.

While he was talking, a few more guests stepped through the threshold at the entrance of the hall.

"Oh, look at you." Second Brother Chen patted his chest confidently, went to the back kitchen first, and when he turned his head to come out, he first brought a pot of light wine and walked over to the table of new guests.

"Guest officer, you're invited, it's windy and sandy today, but you're guilty outside, right?"

It is said that Li Yuntao came out of the Chengfeng Restaurant, this is not to run errands for his father, and no one urges him, but he is not slow, but this sky full of wind and sand is too bad scenery, he doesn't want to eat sand slowly.

But as soon as I walked through the central official road and was about to step up to the street entrance of the West Market, I heard a series of sounds of clattering feet and stepping on tiles from far and near. Dare to run on the roof in broad daylight, Li Yuntao has really not seen him a few times when he is so big, and the snitch who did this last time is squatting in a prison in the state capital at this time.

Li Yuntao stopped, looked back and looked around, and saw that the somewhat familiar figure jumped lightly with a sword in his hand, and the person had already rushed over from the top of his head to the arc, but it was not Song Tingyu.

Song Tingyu landed in the center of the street, and after landing, he did not stop his steps, took two steps forward and jumped into the air again, and when he fell again, he had jumped to the top of the courtyard wall of the mansion opposite the official road.

Using the courtyard wall as a stepping point, he walked quickly, and then landed on the ridge of the mansion again, and then walked away on the corrugated. Faintly, a black shadow followed him, and his movements were even more light and ghostly.

Although he couldn't see the true body of the black shadow, Li Yuntao had already guessed that it was the black cat.

Song Tingyu's speed was so fast, and his movements were so big, even if there were sparse pedestrians on the road, no one noticed the movement here, as if they didn't see it, which made Li Yuntao even more surprised.

On the contrary, Song Tingyu has such skills, but it did not exceed Li Yuntao's expectations, on the other hand, if he didn't have such skills, Li Yuntao would be surprised, and then the word immortal master would not fall on his head.

Song Tingyu had just gone to work hard for a moment, and Li Yuntao heard another sound behind him, and this time the movement was much bigger.

"Get out of the way! Let it go! The official errand! Daddy Li Lifeng's big face entered Li Yuntao's field of vision for the first time, and he shouted loudly while rushing straight all the way over like a humanoid tank, looking at the direction of Xishi.

Li Yuntao naturally knew what virtue his father had, so he quickly got out of the way and stood aside.

"Stinky boy, hurry home! What's the excitement here? When passing by Li Yuntao's side, the father dropped a word, and without waiting for his son to argue, he ran straight all the way.

opened his mouth, and Li Yuntao finally swallowed back the quibble on the side of his mouth. 'Am I just on my way home?'

The central avenue of the county leads from the main gate of the south of the city to the gate of the north of the county, and the small city of Xiaoji Town is simply divided into two parts.

But Daddy is gone, and even if it is a quibble, he can't hear it. At this moment, Li Yuntao stood in place and hesitated a little, looking at his father's burning buttocks, thinking that coming to Xishi was more dangerous and dangerous than he had expected, should he go or not? He muttered to himself.

Less than a minute had passed, and eight more patrolmen from behind him rushed to follow, and then the ninth man fell some distance behind and followed. This ninth person is the Gu Ping Gu Catcher.

His movements were far less neat and swift than those of his colleagues in front of him, and a little hesitation and struggle could be glimpsed from his movements.

Hey~ I'm afraid I'm scared?

Li Yuntao said in his heart.

"Brother Gu, what happened? Wouldn't it be dangerous for my dad to rush over in such a hurry? He stopped and hesitated to close the position, and it seemed that he didn't really want to go back to the back alley of the West Market, so it was better to probe the wind.

"Brother Yun, listen to your uncle, hurry home and close the doors and windows, don't ask what happens in advance, wait for your father... When I go back, I will naturally make it clear to you. Seeing that it was Li Yuntao who was talking, Gu Pingcang was a little settled in his heart, he didn't want to go back in the first place, so it was good to have a reason to stop and talk for a while.

"If you talk like this, my heart will become more and more bottomless, is it particularly dangerous in Xishi, is it possible that my father will not be able to come back?" Li Yuntao stared at Gu Ping's eyes and asked.

was stared at and questioned by a teenager, and he naturally glared back at him when he was usually Gu Ping, but today's young man's gaze was a little dazzling, which made him can't help but look away.

"I can't say whether it's fierce or not, in short, it's good if you know it's a dead person." Gu Ping considered it for a moment before replying. After all, Li Yuntao is Li Zhutou's son, and he must have been in contact with various cases on weekdays, and Li Zhutou rarely has to say some facts about the case in front of his son to brag about his ability.

Then he should be able to listen to some heavy words.

"Dead man, which big case has no one died? It's not that dangerous. Li Yuntao hooked the corners of his mouth a little playfully, is this fooling me as a little cub?

"Isn't it dangerous to die? What do you mean by being dangerous, you little scoundrel? Gu Ping didn't expect Li Yuntao to scold himself, he was a little angry in his heart, and he glared and shot back.

"The death of one or two people is just a life lawsuit, although it is a big case, but on weekdays, such murders often occur in the vendetta or traitor department. The real danger is, of course, that there are those who kill several or more people in a row, or dare to openly attack the official family in the daytime. Li Yuntao glanced at the boots of the grain flat and said.

His tone was indescribably calm and calm, not at all like a teenager talking about life and death with an elder in front of him.

Gu Pingcang followed Li Yuntao's gaze to his shoes, and instantly understood that he had stepped on blood and knew that he had stepped on blood. He swallowed with a little difficulty, hesitating whether to tell the truth to the young man, his left hand rubbing back and forth against the top of the counterweight metal on the handle of the knife at his waist, and the soles of his feet kept rubbing against the bluestone pavement.

"Ahh~! Brother Yun looks at the sword, I am Zhang Qiming, the number one hero in the world! ”

A child's voice jumped out next to him, and the mischievous Zhang Goudan stabbed in the direction of Li Yuntao with an iron sword full of red rust in his hand.

Behind him was a group of friends with wooden swords and short sticks, all of whom had changed out of the blue robes they wore when they went to the school, and each was wearing an old dress with various patches, but they could let go of their hands and feet.

"Li Yuntao, the head of the four villains in the rivers and lakes, is he still arrested when he sees this hero?" Zhang Qiming shouted with righteousness and strictness, but the expression on his face was smiling and murderous.

"Grass? When did Lao Tzu become the head of the four evildoers, and I wasn't still the leader of the martial arts alliance yesterday? Li Yuntao turned his head and glared, raised his foot and kicked the sword handed over by Zhang Qiming to the side.

"Wow, it's not a loss, it's the former martial arts alliance leader, the kung fu is really good, and he actually blocked the killer sword of this hero." Zhang Qiming, this kid, was crooked by the iron sword, and hurriedly took a few steps to the side, and then stood firm.

"Wait for me to fight you for three hundred rounds."

"Three hundred rounds is enough, and a thousand rounds of war will take cool." A few boys in the back coaxed.

Gu Pingcang looked at the children who came around, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a trace of warmth appeared on his face, which was immediately replaced by seriousness and ferocity.

"Hey, you little cubs hurry up and go home for me now, your master told me at noon, there will be a lottery tomorrow," he said to a group of half-grown children in a threatening manner.

"Impossible, if the master wants to take the test, he will inform him in advance, as the so-called gentleman's battle is to salute first and then soldier, it is a dignified and upright way, and even this hero will remind him before he starts." Zhang Qiming held the rusty sword and retorted with his head held high. A baby's fat little face was suffocated and red, and it was obvious that this rhetoric had wasted a lot of his brain cells before he could piece it together.

Hum~!

After reading the book, this speech is different. At this time, seeing that this kid was the first to speak, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, it seems that the little cub in his family will be sent to the school to read it for a few years when he is old. Reading people are different in the end. Such a big man can say so much truth by himself, and when he grows up, he will live more transparently than himself.

Looking at the group of children in front of him, Gu Pingcang turned his head to look in the direction of Xishi again, he was a big man, and he actually let his colleagues go desperately, and he hid here to live in peace, which was really unusual.

For no reason, there is a courage in my heart.

That's it, today is to give away this good head, and it will definitely not let the conflict come out and ruin the lives of these dolls.

Syllable~!

His big hand with thick calluses slapped on Zhang Qiming's head, "Little cub has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, did the master tell you that if you don't listen to adults, your ass will be beaten by the board?" ”

Saying that, the big hand did evil, and kneaded Zhang Qiming's neat hairstyle into a bird's nest. Even the ponytail headband couldn't stop it.

"Yikes! My sister only combed the hero's hairstyle at noon! Zhang Qiming was angry, but he couldn't break free from this big hand, and the corner of his eye saw a little moist water appear, but when he saw him gritting his teeth, he directly took the rusty sword in his hand and slashed it with his elbow.

"It's good to come, look at my magic power." Gu Ping grinned, full of yellow teeth, and the two canine teeth were extraordinarily long. He snapped his fingers on the spine of the rusty sword that slashed over, dang~! There was a crunch sound.

The little hand of Zhang Qiming was shocked, and he couldn't hold it and let go, and Tie Jianteng was taken off by Gu Ping in mid-air.

This time the force was a little big, and his fingertips hurt his heart, but the corners of his eyes twitched but he deliberately put on a light look, as if this finger flicked his fingers, and it was a real kung fu of a famous head.

"It's just a rusty piece of iron, and I'm embarrassed to say it's a sword, let Brother Yun help you keep it first." said that he didn't ask Zhang Qiming's opinion, so he handed over the iron sword full of red rust to Li Yuntao.

"This is me and an armored skeleton dug out of the sand dunes, how is it not a sword, it must be the sword of some heroic man who died in the sea of sand before." Hearing Gu Ping say that the iron sword is a broken piece of iron, Zhang Qiming was not happy. The armor was handed over to his father, and he kept the sword in his hand, how could he tolerate being taken again. He was about to snatch it back, just in time to see Li Yuntao winking at him.

Brother Yun will return it to me later. And then it stopped.

When the other boys saw that the leading brother was disarmed, and they were glared at by Gu Ping's evil deeds, they all started to shrink their heads and stood aside honestly.

"Brother Yun, I'll leave it to you here, let this group of boys hurry home. Over there in the West Market... It's really dangerous, it's not a joke, and I advise you not to go over. I'm going to help Li Tou'er now, so why don't I have to come up with a result today so that everyone can rest assured. As he spoke, as if to embolden himself, he patted the waist knife on his waist proudly, and the standard knife he wore quickly made a sonorous metal sound.

As he spoke, Gu Zhu quickly carried the knife and turned around and walked away with a bit of determination.

"There is no Gatling Bodhisattva in the south, three thousand six hundred revolutions per minute...... Lao Tzu didn't. Woo~~ Aggrieved! Li Yuntao nodded in agreement, but he wailed silently in his heart.

"Brother Gu, do you know that if you plant a flag casually, you will really die. ’

Bang!!

Boom~Boom!

First, a crisp and crisp sound that pierced through the sky suddenly hit the tips of everyone's hearts, and it also interrupted the emotions brewing in his heart. This was followed by a cochlear accent.

For a moment, Li Yuntao almost thought that he was deaf in both ears and could no longer hear other sounds.

The boys around him even hugged their ears and staggered to the side.

At this time, Li Yuntao also knew that the big thing was not good, and the strange red light happened to light up the sky, dyeing the dim yellow wind and sand hovering over Xiaoji Town with a dull red.

A large gray smoke screen as thick as a thick pulp rose upwards like splashes of ink, rising in the wind and gradually twisting and skewed, and finally scattered in a southeasterly direction.

Above the gray smoke screen, the naked eye can see several large pieces of building debris flying from low to high, and finally climbing to a high point, and then under the blowing of the evil wind, it is about to fall down crookedly.

Along with the huge ruins of the broken walls, there were also countless broken bricks and tiles and other bits and pieces.

Fortunately, it seems that most of these things that were lifted and smashed were deflected by the wind, and the estimated landing point covered a slight distance from this group of children

Li Yuntao stared blankly at the imminent explosion, a scene that young people living in big cities in peacetime had never seen in their lives. This kind of immersive feeling is not something that can be replaced by the visual impact brought by the special effects of film and television in movies and videos.

Boom!! ~Click!

A group of people who had just lost their breath under the falling objects in the air were still staring at the debris flying in the sky. A sound of landing had once again rushed into everyone's cochlea.

A gray-black smoke screen rose all over its body, and the beast that couldn't see the entity clearly smashed on the central official road in advance, and the cyan stone slabs paved on the ground at the landing shattered and splashed, and even the rammed earth under the stone slabs was lifted out.

What the hell?!

The strange thing vaguely showed the shape of a long beast, about four meters long with a tail, the height of an adult's shoulders, and two pairs of four eyes that exuded a faint purple blue, and through the gray and black smoke screen that enveloped its body, it was also terrifyingly bright.

Gu Pingcang unsheathed the yadao with a bang, and the three-foot-long Xueliang blade was aimed at that side for the first time. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty, his legs slightly bent in a lunge that was very easy to exert force, his upper body leaned forward, and his left hand swung behind him.

"Go, go, slow down. Don't move too much, we won't be able to run away if we are shocked. His voice was deep and powerful, but there was a tremor that could not be concealed. Breathing is getting heavier as the confrontation lengthens.

"Wow? What the hell! Have you seen the second man? Your father is an Orion, and you should know more beasts than we all combined. Zhang Qiming's eyes widened, but he didn't know that he was afraid at all.

"This ...... The big grey leopard that fell into a mud puddle... Right?" The boy with the second name knocked on the ground with a short stick in his hand, and replied uncertainly.

"Cut! I can see that this is clearly a wolf. The other child retorted.

"Your wolf has four eyes?" Another imp with a wooden sword in his hand said.

"What are you afraid of, there are so many of us, it's scared away, and isn't there an uncle who catches it?" Zhang Qiming said that he was not afraid of big things

"Uncle, my uncle, I'm not yet thirty." Gu Pingcang sighed in his heart, these little cubs are really bold, if they have seen this thing slap their colleague's body in half, it is estimated that they should pee their pants at this time.

If he hadn't been responsible for guarding the entrance of the alley before, when he bumped into it, he took advantage of it to gnaw on the corpses of his colleagues and ignore himself, so he would have run out to ventilate and report the news. Otherwise, it would probably have entered its belly with that brother at this time.

"Li Yuntao, Brother Yun! Take them away, quick! Gu Ping lowered his voice and drank hoarsely.

Slowly exhaling the exhaust gas in the chest and abdomen, and then slowly inhaling the new air, the heart is still pounding, as if it is about to jump out of the chest at any time. The palm of the hand becomes slippery unconsciously, and even the handle with anti-slip treatment always has the illusion that it is not firm to hold.

A drop of sweat on his forehead slipped silently into the corner of his eye, stinging his eyes painfully, but he didn't even dare to wipe the sweat. Only fixed his eyes firmly on the four strange blue-purple pupils behind the gray and black smoke curtain.

Every breath that time passed made him feel as if a year had passed.

At this time, Li Yuntao was already stunned, this was the first time he faced this kind of life-threatening danger, he was sure that he had never seen the monster in front of him, and he had never heard the elders mention it in the more than ten years since he was born.

But a name has come to mind clearly.

Evil!

The sense of crisis that pierced his skin was real, and he believed that when he touched his face at this time, he would see blood when he opened his palm. This innate sense of crisis has been proven countless times over the past decade or so.

It must be dangerous.

The monster's tail looked harmless in the air behind him, and Gu Pingcang and Li Yuntao's nerves, which had been tense to the extreme, almost broke because of this action.

"Come here, or I'll kill your boss."

Li Yuntao pinched Zhang Qiming's ear with one hand, and dragged him slowly to the corner of the street behind him, and several other cubs saw that the heads of their group of people were held hostage, so they had to follow. But the boys didn't know what to be afraid of after all, and while walking, some people complained that the boss Zhang Qiming was incompetent, so he was captured and captured.

Laugh at!

There was a slight cracking sound, like the cutting sound of a knife falling when cutting a melon fruit on a summer day.

The child who complained just now was left with a headless body, and the blood in his neck was separated by a few moments before gushing out of his arteries like a fountain, spraying uncontrollably.

Li Yuntao's eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't see how the monster attacked, the only thing that could find clues was the muddy thing on the wall of the street behind him that could no longer see its original shape.

Vomit~!

Imagining the childish little face of the child when he said the complaining words a second ago, and then seeing the things on the wall now, Li Yuntao almost went crazy, with an irrepressible urge to vomit in his stomach, and his whole stomach was stirring agitated.

But there was a fire in his heart, rising and burning wildly, urging him to stab the iron sword full of red rust in his hand into the cranial cavity of the evil four eyes, and strangle the brain marrow into a mass of rivers and lakes.

A figure stepped across to block the children.

"One counts as one, hurry up!" Regardless of the possibility of stimulating the monster, Gu Ping opened his throat and roared, "Come on! Dirty! Anything is coming to grandpa! Grandpa next!! His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't drunk a drop of water in days, and even if he yelled loudly, his voice was far from as loud as he expected.

He waved his left hand to let the children go, and the knife in his right hand kept swaying, as if it was about to slash at any moment.

Laugh at!

The swinging left hand soared into the air with a forearm.

The left big arm throw, which had not yet realized that his arm was leaving his body, maintained his inertia, but the instantaneous reduction of the weight had already made Gu Ping realize that something was wrong, and he glanced at it, and his tense nerves completely collapsed.

"Ahh Trash, Lao Tzu fought with you! He grinned, bared his teeth, and rushed at the evil with all his ferocity.

A little gray mist surged in the corner of his eyes, and the instinct honed by years of hard work in a moment of crisis saved his life. The sword in his right hand swung in the air turned in an arc in the air with his extreme instinct, cutting to his side.

While~!

A cluster of striking sparks burst into the air.

Hit!

Gu Pingcang and Li Yuntao were both happy in their hearts, but in the next moment, the yadao that had been forged by thousands of hammers and thousands of times was severed from the collision, leaving only a section of less than half the length connected to the handle.

The upper half of the blade spun away, and finally slammed into the wall with a snort, shaking the remaining ends.

How could the evil man have the heart to wait for everyone to sort out their emotions, and the attacks followed, and Gu Ping, who had already sharpened his martial arts and instinct to face crises to the extreme, could only barely cope with it like a scarecrow in a raging storm.

The good news is that the blade, which had been cut off in half, withstood the test of the next collision, and did not break more in a series of spark splashes. The bad news is that the left side of the closed position of Gu Ping, who lost his left arm, is exposed, and with the blood loss, the movement gradually slows down. From time to time, a blood flower flew from his body, and the mist sprayed blood slowly stained the ground around him red.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for him and the evil to fight hard, Li Yuntao pulled Zhang Qiming with tears in his eyes, and retreated to the corner of the street with a few movable children, and kicked and beat them to get out of the way. As for the few soft eggs who were so frightened that they peed their pants on the ground, they could only see if they had a chance to go back and forth.

Li Yuntao took advantage of the evil fire that rose in his heart to burn his mind, and when he couldn't be afraid for the time being, he touched back from the corner of the street, ready to take away two more soft eggs.

saw that Gu Ping finally couldn't support it, and while retreating, his legs staggered and fell into a pool of blood.

The embarrassing thing is that at this time, Li Yuntao has already figured out some distance from the corner of the street, and it is obviously too late to withdraw at this time, so he simply took a few steps and rushed to the side of those children, and each of them gave them a kick, whether they could kick them up from fear and sluggishness, they could only resign themselves to fate.

The knife in Gu Ping's hand was still waving, but it was getting slower and slower, and more often it was just resisting in a small area.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

He seemed to be going to fall down at any moment, but he kept insisting on not falling.

Several dead children were kicked, only one woke up, crawled and ran away crying, and the other two could only hum and cry, and then the area of urine under his body was getting bigger and bigger, but he didn't move his nest, and the angry Li Yuntao really wanted to smoke in his head, so he would really become a literal 'dead child'.

I didn't care about more, looking at Gu Ping, who was still supporting, I silently prayed in my heart that the monster would not bypass Brother Gu and attack him, opened his mouth and bit the iron sword grip, and grabbed the collar at the back of their necks with one hand, and dragged it backwards with all his strength. While dragging and staring at the evil one, he was ready to let go of the battle at any time.

"Evil obstacles! Look where you're going! Death!! ”

Before the sound of the person arrived, the voice fell, and I watched a figure come rapidly from the direction of the West Market.

But there was an existence that was one step faster than him to arrive first, and at some point, a black cat with shiny fur was standing silently in front of Li Yuntao, and the hair on its tail was straight and straight, making it look twice as big as it was out of thin air. It's just that at this moment, for some reason, the tip of the tail is bare, and it looks a little miserable.

Hissing, the cat's low hissing is full of threat.
