Xu Jingzhen immediately leaned over to check.

I saw that the deceased's skin was grayish-white, his eyes burst out, and his whole face was swollen into a pig's head.

It is comparable to the corpse of a giant who has been dead for many days.

Judging by the way he was dressed, he should be a hunter.

Seeing that a cultivator suddenly came, the villagers immediately surrounded him.

An old man carrying a hoe asked, "Young man, do you know who this is?" ”

He shook his head: "I don't know, I just passed by here." ”

As he spoke, he continued to look at the corpse, and soon found the water hyacinth hanging from the other party's waist.

And sure enough, it was!

This person is not a villager of Daoxiang Village, so he doesn't know about drinking water and dying.

So he drank the water of the river and was cursed.

No wonder I didn't wait for Chu Renmei last night, it turned out that there was a goal.

The old man with the hoe continued: "Alas, it's another human life. ”

The woman carrying the basket next to her said, "Shaoxia, are you really unable to solve this matter?" ”

He comforted: "Don't worry, you already have some eyebrows. ”

"Now inform the county government to find out his identity first, and I will go back to the sect to report the situation."

Everyone already had eyebrows on their heads when they heard this, and immediately showed a look of anticipation.

"Great, great!"

"Shaoxia, we listen to you, I'll go find the catcher now."

"Shaoxia, go back to the sect quickly, I hope to help us get rid of the scourge as soon as possible."

Xu Jingzhen hugged his fists and left, thinking that the basic situation was fully grasped, so don't delay.

Let's do it tonight!

Anyway, there are less than 18 hours left, so it's easy to get it done early.

Rush all the way back to Tingyu Pavilion.

The disciples were practicing in the morning, and they didn't care when they saw him come back.

Seeing this, Qingmei stopped her hand, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Xu Jingjing, why don't you return at night?" ”

Since the tragic death of the senior brother, she has been a temporary sect talker.

As for the helmsman, he went to retreat and cultivate.

Because he knows the current realm, he can't solve the incident of drinking water at all.

Thinking about giving it a try after the breakthrough.

He replied indifferently: "Senior sister, I went down the mountain to Daoxiang Village to investigate." ”

"I forgot the time for a while, and I didn't mean to not return at night."

"There was another murder this morning, and I hurried back after I helped, and asked my senior sister to punish me."

Qingmei nodded slightly.

She had learned about the death of another person in the village from the man who had come to deliver water.

Since there is a good reason, it is not easy to hold on.

She softened her expression and said, "It's right to do good deeds, but your current cultivation is too low, so you must pay attention to your own safety first." ”

"Don't you take it as an example, got it?"

Xu clenched his fists in surprise: "Understood, thank you, senior sister." ”

Qingmei continued to practice, while he returned to his room to sleep in the cage.

……

By the time I woke up, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

After eating, he went out for a walk and showed his face, and then returned to his room to stay.

After going to bed at nine o'clock, you can act.

He pulled out the falling star and sharpened the blade as he rehearsed the plan in his head.

What if Chu Renmei didn't come?

What if it comes and is more powerful than you think?

What if it doesn't have that weakness?

And so on and so forth.

The time came to half past nine in my thinking, the bed had been checked, and the people of the sect were basically resting.

Xu Jingzhen did not act in a hurry and continued to wait patiently.

It wasn't until almost eleven o'clock in the middle of the night that I finally quietly went out of the window.

Creeping to the back of the hall, he slipped into a very hidden path.

Listening to the rain pavilion has a defense system on the main road, it is definitely not okay to swagger away.

After successfully reaching the bottom of the mountain, he quickened his pace to his destination.

Not long after, come again during the day passing by the river.

Tonight, the moon is like a jade plate, the shadows of the trees are swaying in the bright moonlight, and the river is sparkling.

There was also a surge of mist.

At first glance, it looks like a fairyland, but when you think about it carefully, it is even more gloomy.

Xu walked to the river and squatted, looking at the reflection of the swaying water surface, making the final mental preparation.

Call...... May the gods of this world bless you.

Let's hope everything goes according to plan.

the brothers!

When he was ready, he grabbed a handful of water in his hand and took a sip of it.

An unpleasant fishy smell.

He frowned in disgust, then sat cross-legged on the grass, waiting nervously and expectantly with luck.

Waited for a quarter of an hour and nothing happened.

There's no need to rush this kind of thing, anyway, it makes no difference if it's early or late.

Syllable!

He reached out to pat the mosquito on his neck, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while.

This is all a real world, and there are such annoying creatures.

Although it can't be broken, the buzzing is also annoying.

Bad reviews.

At this moment, I saw a black shadow suddenly jump out of the woods more than twenty meters in front of me.

Xu was shocked in his heart, and immediately jumped up and clenched his weapon as if facing a great enemy.

Is it finally here?!

His eyes widened and he looked closely, and the black figure was tall and tall, with flowing hair.

He seemed to have a sword in his hand.

Hey...... Why does it look so familiar?

That's right!

Isn't this Senior Sister Qingmei!

Xu was stunned directly, what is the situation? Why did she suddenly appear?

At this time, Qingmei said coldly: "Xu is stunned! How dare you go out at night again! ”

He frowned and was speechless, what is this?

Could it be that when she sneaked out, she had actually found out.

And then deliberately followed all the way?

What's the matter?

Qingmei guessed his mind and said, "Heh, do you think yesterday's lie successfully deceived me?" ”

"It's good that I've been secretly staring at you, but I didn't expect it to be so."

"Follow me back to the sect immediately to be punished, otherwise don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

Xu was depressed and still silent, and his mind was quickly thinking of a way to deal with it.

Definitely can't go with her.

But if she really wants to make a move, she is definitely not her opponent at the moment.

He looked at Qingmei while thinking, the height and shape were correct, the voice was the same, and there was a shadow on the ground.

Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he couldn't go wrong with that cold aura.

It does seem that she is unmistakable.

Qingmei continued to say sharply: "Don't come back yet? Forcing me to do it, huh?! ”

"What bad luck"

Xu scolded helplessly, forget it, I can only go back with her first and then make plans.

Otherwise, this guy will really do it, and it will be even more troublesome when the time comes.

He walked slowly and slowly.

Qingmei stood there and watched, revealing an imperceptible smile.

Twenty meters.

Eighteen meters.

Fifteen meters.

Twelve meters.

As he got closer and closer, Xu Jingzhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly stopped.

Because he finally discovered a situation that was easy to ignore, but very important.

That's the sound of insects around is gone!

In such a pristine natural environment, there is no shortage of insects.

As long as it's night, there will definitely be one after another screaming.

For example, gnats, crickets, crickets, etc., people who have lived in the suburbs or the countryside know about it.

One call is one night.

I could still hear the sound when I came here just now, but now it's gone!

And it's gone in an instant.

This is definitely not a normal situation!
