"Were you on the street yesterday? Liu San's death is really weird! ”

"Isn't it!? I fell down while walking, and I thought it was too hot at the time. ”

"Several people, called for a long time, but there was no reaction at all, until the county government came, I didn't know that Liu San was dead!"

While everyone was discussing in the inn, a young man with a long knife walked in, followed by a yellow dog.

Li Tai'an is very handsome, and he looks seventeen or eighteen years old.

The long knife in the hand is also a very common style, but the knife is indeed a little longer.

There was nothing special about that yellow dog, just like many rural pastoral dogs.

When Li Tai'an entered the inn, many diners took a look.

Soon they determined that this was a new face, not from Xingxian.

Xiao Er quickly walked up and took Li Tai'an to an empty table.

Xingxian County is not big, and it is not small to say small.

Numerous diners can quickly tell if a person is a local or not; Similarly, some news will quickly spread throughout the county.

On the street yesterday, Liu San, who suddenly fell to the ground and died, has become the most concerned thing in Xingxian at this moment.

Except for the sudden death, it was too strange that he died.

The diners in the inn didn't stop talking because of Li Tai'an, and they could always find all kinds of news channels.

And whose news is more alarming and more accurate.

Whoever gets more exclamations and attention is often gained.

"I told you, I was on the street at the time, and Liu San fell next to me, and I shouted a few times at that time, but now that I think about it, I really scared a person to death."

"Really? Tell me, what was going on at the time? ”

One of the diners, the news that caught the attention of most people.

And his position happened to be across the street from Li Tai'an's desk.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the diner also took a satisfied sip of water and cleared his throat before continuing.

"Yesterday, Liu San was behind me, I don't know about it, but as I walked, I suddenly heard a 'bang', and when I turned around, I saw Liu San who fell to the ground."

"Actually, it's normal, in June, the sun is scorching, and it's noon, and some people faint from time to time, but do you know the state of Liu San falling to the ground? What a wicked door! ”

The diner stopped at the critical moment, and it can be said that he has whetted his appetite.

"Say it, say it!"

At this time, the surrounding diners were also hooked interested, and they were all urging loudly, wanting to know the situation at that time.

Li Tai'an also pricked up his ears, wanting to hear what the diner had to say.

"You don't necessarily believe it when you say it, Liu San's whole face is extremely white, whiter than many women in Chunxianglou; The two eyeballs protruded so badly that they almost fell out; was originally quite thin, but his stomach was bulging. ”

"Isn't this the state that only people who have been drowned in the water can have? You can't be mistaken, right? ”

"Look at it, you don't believe it, I was next to me at the time, how could I be wrong?!"

The diners began to talk.

Xiao Er also came to Li Tai'an's table at this time and asked Li Tai'an what he wanted.

"A bowl of noodles, a bowl of rice, add three taels of lean meat, and put one or two of them into the rice."

Li Tai'an's smile is very warm, and it feels very comfortable.

"It's really strange, others lead horses and dogs, looking like this, they were also deceived by the old storyteller, and they want to be some kind of heroes."

"Regardless of him, regardless of him, continue to talk about Liu San's matter, if it is really what you said, will there be anything unclean in Xingxian?"

"Maybe there really is, think about it, a good big living person, if you say it, you will fall, this is what people can do?!"

Soon, the things Li Tai'an asked for came up.

He put the noodles and two taels of lean meat in front of him, and the rest in front of the yellow dog.

One person and one dog, quickly eaten.

Li Tai'an's bizarre behavior once again caught the attention of the rest of the diners.

After all, very few dogs can go down to the restaurant.

But today, they met.

After taking two bites, Li Tai'an found that the diners around him stopped discussing, and their attention to the teenager began to grow.

Li Tai'an looked at everyone and smiled warmly again.

"Go on, leave me alone. By the way, uncle, I didn't hear what you just said, can you say it again? ”

Li Tai'an looked at the diner who had just received the most attention and asked.

At the same time, the boy also greeted Xiao Er and served the diner a pot of wine.

The people are sophisticated, and they are handled very properly.

The diner also expressed his gratitude for this, and directly said all the hidden news.

"You guys are really blessed, if it weren't for this young man, I would definitely have to delay two days to say these news."

When the yellow dog heard this, he stopped shaving rice and gave him a very spiritual look.

A pot of wine will become a young man?!

"Xu Yanzuo in the east of the village is the person in charge of Liu San's body, and I happened to drink with him for a while last night, so these news, others really don't know."

"According to Xu Chengzuo, the clothes on Liu San's body are very dry, the sweat behind his back has also been dried, his body is slightly swollen, and there are blood-colored foam at the corners of his mouth and nose, so Xu Chengzuo concluded that he drowned."

With this news, the inn fell silent again.

In June, the weather is hot.

On the street, apart from its own sweat, there is no other water source.

How is it possible to drown a person under such conditions?

"But Xu Qizuo said again, that is, Liu San's death was too clean, and it didn't make sense."

That's not a common sense thing in and of itself.

"What, there's something going on in my house, let's go first!"

"Me, me too!"

Soon, many of the diners in the inn had quickly left.

Liu San's bizarre death made them no longer in the mood to continue chatting.

If the news just now is true, then there is something unclean in Xingxian.

"How? Do you smell anything? ”

After many diners left, Li Tai'an, who had finished eating noodles, asked again.

And this time, he asked about the yellow dog lying at his feet.

"You are the Heavenly Master, and the record of the strange beasts of the mountains and seas is also in your hands, don't keep asking me!" The yellow dog lay lazily on the ground, but a voice quietly came into Li Tai'an's ears.

"I just took over the Mountain and Sea Beast Record from my grandfather, and I don't know how to use it yet, aren't you a tengu? You should be able to smell a little, right? Li Tai'an took out a string of copper coins and settled the account.

"By the way, I also want to ask, is there any house for rent in this neighborhood? It's better to be a little more remote and spacious. Li Tai'an asked Xiao Er.

"It seems that it is just on the easternmost side of this street, next to Xu Chengzuo just mentioned, and many people dislike him and feel unlucky. In addition, it is not very developed, so there are very few people living there, and it is almost allowed to be a person. ”

Soon, Li Tai'an took the yellow dog and came to a spacious house.

The owner of this house, after taking the money from Li Tai'an, left quickly, as if he was afraid of getting contaminated with something.

It seems that this room is not as simple as Li Tai'an imagined.

"You seem to have been deceived, huh? There may be something wrong with this house! The yellow dog spoke directly this time, only Li Tai'an was present, and he didn't need to hide anything.

Li Tai'an looked around for a week, and looked at the yellow dog suspiciously: "How come, one courtyard, three rooms, and few people around, it meets my requirements very well!" ”

Yellow Dog gave him a blank look, "I'm not talking about the facilities of the house, don't you think the money that person asked for is a little too little?" And he seems to be in a hurry to rent it out. ”

"Maybe he thinks I'm handsome!"

Yellow Dog: "······"

"You haven't answered my question yet?"

The yellow dog found a shady place and slowly lay down.

"Heavenly Master, since ancient times, there has been a mission to recover the strange beasts in the record of strange beasts in the mountains and seas, and it has been passed on to you, and there have been nearly one hundred and fifty generations of heavenly masters······"

Li Tai'an directly interrupted the yellow dog: "I know this, grandpa told me everything." ”

The yellow dog glanced at Li Tai'an, "Why did you come here, so stupid?!" ”

Li Tai'an: "······"

"Every hundred years, the Alien Beasts of the Mountains and Seas will enter a dormant state until the next time you wake up."

"This also means that every hundred years, the strange beasts that have been subdued in the list of mountains and seas will come out again."

"At this time, it is necessary for the new Heavenly Master to take the Mountains and Seas Alien Beast Record to re-subdue."

"In this process, whether it is a foreign beast or a heavenly master, they already have very sufficient experience in fighting enemies."

"But how do you act like a fool? You can't steal this beast, right? ”

Li Tai'an's face was black, this alien beast record has been passed down from generation to generation by their Li family, and at the same time, only the bloodline of the Li family can stimulate the effect of the alien beast record, how could it be stolen.

"If you want to find out whether Liu San's death was caused by a strange beast, you can only investigate it yourself."

"Just like I just said, after more than a thousand years of fighting, the alien beasts already know very well about the methods of your heavenly masters, and it is difficult for you to directly find their traces based on the alien beast records alone."

"Whew, what a trouble!" Li Tai'an exhaled slowly, and it was not until this moment that he knew what kind of mission his grandfather had given him.

According to legend, there are many magical and mysterious species in heaven and earth.

There are mountains, rivers, trees, flowers and plants, and exotic beasts.

And these species, if they stay in the world for a long time, will deprive a lot of living space and conditions, and even directly affect the survival of other species.

So, there are ancient gods, who have created a separate space, and this space provides a new living environment for these amazing species.

It's just that someone needs to collect it little by little.

And that person is called the Heavenly Master!

At first, many people thought it was just a legend.

But Li Tai'an, who has watched his grandfather subdue strange beasts since he was a child, knows that this is really not a legend!

Li Tai'an looked at the yellow dog, which was the tengu in the record of strange beasts in the mountains and seas, and it was also the first strange beast he subdued.

Bang bang bang!

Just when Li Tai'an was still thinking about how to tell if Liu San was a strange beast, a knock on the door came out.

Li Tai'an opened the door, and there was a very thin old man standing outside, about forty or fifty years old, with very sharp eyes.

"You rented this house?"

The old man's voice was hoarse.

Li Tai'an nodded.

The old man glanced at Li Tai'an, and then at the yellow dog.

"Voluntary?"

"Voluntary!"

Then the old man said no more, turned and went to the house next to him, opened the door and went in.

Li Tai'an also reacted at this time, he is what people say about Xu Chengzuo.

"Mr. Xu!"

Just as Xu Qizuo was about to close the door, Li Tai'an stopped him.

Xu Ping stopped closing the door and looked at Li Tai'an.

"I want to ask you, how did Liu San die?"
