Chapter Twenty-Three: A Little Panic! There are only nine out of eight to solve the case!

Regarding the grievances of the ghost hand spirit officer and the indifferent young man, Li Zhengjing didn't care, but he was very concerned about the ghost hand spirit officer's guidance.

The wall-hanging bird was stunned and has not woken up yet, and Li Zhengjing has not brought it back.

Thinking that with the affection of Venerable Baixiao there, the wall-hanging bird will not become a dead bird.

After leaving the "Lingguan Hall", Li Zhengjing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Ghost Hand Spirit Officer was unfathomable, and it was so fierce and bloody, with a gloomy and dull aura everywhere, it was no wonder that the young man named Fan Kaihu had become so distorted.

"The case from half a month ago?"

Li Zhengjing returned to the residence prepared for him by the government, and put the Five Elements Creation Tree on the ground and let it absorb the nutrients of water and soil.

When the sky was about to dawn, he took the initiative to go to the yamen and retrieved the recent file.

The master bookkeeper I saw yesterday hadn't come over yet, but the person guarding the file was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy named Lu Xiaoxuan.

"Immortal Chief, wait a minute, and the small one will be transferred to the file." The boy bowed and saluted, so said.

"Wu Zhutou, who was killed by demons, is your father-in-law?" Li Zhengjing vaguely remembered that there was the name of this teenager on the list.

"Exactly." Lu Xiaoxuan responded respectfully and said in a low voice: "The little one is not a disciple of the Xianmen, but with the help of his father-in-law, he was able to serve in the government and has reported to the Shanmen, and in two years, it will be the expiration of the five-year period." ”

Within the boundaries of the jurisdiction of the Immortal Sect, the local governments can report the list, and a small official like him, who has served for five years, can be equivalent to five years of miscellaneous labor within the mountain gate.

At the end of the five-year period, they will have the qualification to participate in the assessment of the outer sect of the Immortal Sect.

"Wu Zhutou has laid a foundation for you, and it shouldn't be difficult to enter the outer gate in two years." Li Zhengjing said.

"Chengxian Changjiyan!"

Lu Xiaoxuan bowed and saluted, but his mood was quite complicated.

After another two years, they will be eligible to participate in the assessment of outer disciples, and they may not be able to successfully enter the outer gate.

However, the person in front of him is not more than two years older than himself, but he is already a disciple of the inner sect of the Immortal Sect, and in terms of identity and status, he is even farther than the deceased father-in-law!

"Found it."

Li Zhengjing looked at the file half a month ago, and there were seven cases that day, involving extortion, non-payment of debts, stealing chickens and dogs, etc., and one of them involved a homicide case.

"That case was filed by a villain." Lu Xiaoxuan said in a low voice: "A couple from other places claimed to have come looking for relatives, but they couldn't find that distant relative, so they said that they were going to settle here and do some business!" In fact, the two of them were thieves who came here, and in the name of business, they targeted a family, and they were killed on the spot when they committed theft at night! ”

"Oh?" Li Zhengjing raised his eyebrows and said, "This case was handled by your father-in-law?" ”

"Exactly." Lu Xiaoxuan responded.

"The owner of the stolen family is named Cai Yue?" Li Zhengjing took last night's file, corresponded to it, and said calmly: "Was it this Cai Yue who was killed by the demon in the first place?" ”

"Yes." Lu Xiaoxuan responded.

"Okay." Li Zhengjing spread the file on the table, corresponded, and said slowly: "After Cai Yue died, the two officials went to investigate the case, but they were also killed by demons!" And these two officials also followed your stepfather to investigate the case of thieves half a month ago. ”

"This ......" Lu Xiaoxuan was shocked and said, "Do you think that demon killed someone because of the case half a month ago?" ”

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Li Zhengjing said: "And your father-in-law also died at the hands of demons!" Four people were killed in the "thief" case that day, and three ......"

"None of the three of them are here." Lu Xiaoxuan said: "Where the government office of Qixing Mansion is, report to the mansion!" There is also a report to the Immortal Sect! There is also an order to go to a neighboring county to invite the Zhou commander of the 'internal qi' realm to assist in the investigation of the case! ”

"Haven't come back yet?" Li Zhengjing asked.

"Zhang Yu, who went to Xianzong to report the news, and Zhang Chao, who went to Qixing Mansion to report the news, came back last night to resume their lives, and they each returned home." Lu Xiaoxuan said.

"Let them come." Li Zhengjing commanded.

"No need!"

Just then, a voice came from outside: "They can't come." ”

Li Zhengjing turned his head to look and saw four people walking in from outside the yamen.

The person on the far side is the master book that Li Zhengjing saw last night.

The other three are two men and one woman, all dressed in white and wearing silver tokens around their waists, and they are all disciples of the inner sect of the Immortal Sect.

These three people took over the case after themselves and came to the inner disciples who came in the starry night?

"It's so fast, it seems that sixty meritorious deeds are really exciting." Li Zhengjing said secretly in his heart.

"News came from the official who was patrolling at night just now." The master bookkeeper bowed and said, "Zhang Yu and Zhang Chao both died last night and were drained of blood......

"Huh?" Li Zhengjing's eyes froze, but he was a little surprised.

"I originally thought that this evil cultivator was just not opening his eyes, cultivating evil skills within the realm of my Immortal Sect, absorbing blood, and improving his cultivation." At this time, an inner disciple said, "But when I heard Senior Brother Li mention these two people earlier, I thought that he didn't kill people at will. ”

"It seems that Senior Brother Li has found out the clues and figured out the direction of the evil cultivator's crime."

Another inner disciple, with an arrogant expression, said lightly: "Then let's talk about it." ”

Li Zhengjing glanced at his waist card.

Chen Bing?

Is it an ordinary disciple surnamed Chen? Or is it the Chen clan that was born in the Chen Youyu lineage?

Thinking like this, he didn't want to consume his internal qi to confirm the identity of this guy, so he just said lightly: "Why? ”

"Arrogance!"

Chen Bing's face was angry, and he shouted: "You only entered the inner door for half a moon, so you should call me senior brother!" When I ask you, do you dare to answer? ”

Li Zhengjing stretched out his hand and put it on the handle of the knife, and said with a smile: "Dissatisfied? You're here to cut me? ”

Chen Bing was furious, but the disciple named "Zhou Mo" on the side stretched out his hand to stop him, and then looked at Li Zhengjing.

"Senior Brother Li, this demonic ability, I am only afraid that it is not low, and I dare to commit a crime above the realm of my Feather Immortal Sect, and I have no fear."

Zhou Mo said slowly: "We are not here to snatch these sixty merits, but to save your life!" You have been in the middle for half a month, and your internal qi has just formed, so you will definitely not be his opponent! ”

Li Zhengjing was about to continue to speak, but he heard the young woman next to him speak slowly.

"I also have clues that I can exchange with you."

The young woman was carrying a wooden box, she unloaded the wooden box, then looked at Li Zhengjing, swept over the other two, and continued: "The matter involves demons and evils, and it also involves the lives of the local people!" We and other Immortal Sect disciples should know the priorities and not be discouraged. ”

She has beautiful facial features, a tall figure, and a cold tone, and said loudly: "As for the merits of slaying demons, they should be rewarded for their merits and deeds, and they should be divided into each other!" But that's after the demon was killed, and it shouldn't be discussed at this moment......"

She opened the wooden box, and then above the sky, a black eagle flew and landed on the wooden box.

She snapped her fingers lightly, and a white wolf suddenly ran outside the door, the size of a calf, and her blood was stirring.

Immediately, she looked at the three of them and said, "I just learned the news that the two officials were killed, and I have asked them to go and investigate. ”

Li Zhengjing looked at the black eagle and the white wolf, and said in his heart: "They are all qi and blood awakenings, comparable to the monsters of the inner qi realm!" This woman is an inner disciple of the Imperial Beast Hall? ”

Immediately, he looked at the token again, and the three words He Qingyu were engraved on it.

"The information listed by the official hall earlier is wrong, and the evil cultivator is stronger than expected!"

"According to the inference of the residual breath, the other party's cultivation is above the middle of the internal qi, at least the sixth layer of the internal qi, and even the seventh layer!"

"The weapon he uses should be a cold iron hook."

"And the footprints are very light, so I guess I am flexible."

He Qingyu said loudly: "Among the four of us, the highest cultivation is Senior Brother Chen Bing, the seventh layer of internal qi, I am afraid that he may not be above the other party!" ”

Chen Bing's face was disdainful, and he said proudly: "Let's just look at him and recognize him as an upper-level cultivator of internal qi!" In the same realm, with the teaching of the Immortal Sect, Chen is completely sure that he can win the other party! ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Zhengjing, full of mockery, and said: "It's Senior Brother Li, I'm afraid that if you take a picture, you will be killed, and you still want to get these sixty meritorious points?" ”

Li Zhengjing ignored it, and just asked He Qingyu out loud, "Can you find out the location of this evil cultivator?" ”

He Qingyu shook his head slightly and said, "That demonic aura is extremely chaotic, and my white wolf is difficult to trace. ”

Li Zhengjing was not surprised, his eyes swept to the two white prostitutes, then looked at He Qingyu, and said, "Take a step to speak." ”

"What do you mean?"

Chen Bing was suddenly furious, and Zhou Mo's face was also ugly.

Li Zhengjing walked straight to the side, and only then did he inform He Qingyu of the clues he had just found.

"In this way, after this evil cultivator committed the crime, he still didn't escape, and stayed here, maybe to take revenge?" He Qingyu frowned slightly.

"Exactly." Li Zhengjing said loudly: "The three officials were sent to deliver the letter, and they escaped!" The cult cultivator could find out where they lived, but he didn't know where they were going, or maybe the three of them were going in different directions to deliver the letter, so the cult could only wait here for them to return! ”

"What kind of deep hatred made him take a big risk and continue to stay here?"

He Qingyu was puzzled and spoke in a low voice.

Li Zhengjing knew a thing or two from "Fan Kaihu", but it was not suitable to tell the other party, so he only said: "The only one who participated in the 'thief' case is now the little official who went to the neighboring county to ask for 'Commander Zhou'!" ”

He Qingyu muttered: "I have seen this Zhou Commander, he was originally an inner disciple, and after he turned sixty, he applied to be a deacon of the outer gate, but he was sent out without permission!" Commander Zhou's skills are not bad, if that little official follows him, he should be safe and worry-free, but the evil cultivator is afraid and doesn't dare to do it in front of Commander Zhou......"

Li Zhengjing said: "But that evil cultivator may not know the internal arrangements of the official mansion!" ”

He Qingyu suddenly became clear, and suddenly said: "So you think that the evil cultivator doesn't know the existence of Commander Zhou, and will continue to stare at the residence of this little official, waiting for the other party to return?" ”

After finishing speaking, she hesitated a little, and said: "This evil cultivation skill is not low, except for Senior Brother Chen Bing, I'm afraid we can't take him!" This matter ......"

Li Zhengjing spread his hands and said, "I'm just exchanging information with you!" Everything else, none of my business! ”

He Qingyu thanked him, and then said: "If the evil cultivator doesn't take it for a day, the lives of the people will be threatened, and they will be uneasy!" This information is very important, and I can't hide the ...... from those two senior brothers."

Li Zhengjing didn't speak, because when he knew that the evil cultivator's "flexible body method", he was not completely sure in his heart to capture and kill the other party.

It's down to 8 out of 9!

In case the evil cultivator escapes and harms the people, he is willing to tell He Qingyu the clues he has found.

And he also knew that He Qingyu would definitely inform the two white dogs, but he didn't care, now the information that everyone knows on the face is the same, and in the end, whoever can capture and kill the evil cultivator and get sixty meritorious deeds will depend on their ability!

Thinking like this, he looked at Chen Bing and Zhou Mo, looked at them carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It can be confirmed that the skills of these two people are under Chen Youyu's dead ghost waste!
