Yang Cheng, the low-level knife catcher, is a small person, so he doesn't know anything except for the background information about the Demon Eradication Alliance.

Even about the top ten demon stars, I have only vaguely heard some legends.

Yang Cheng glanced at his body, wearing a gray tight-fitting short samurai uniform, carrying a spear and hat, and a standard Jianghu ronin outfit.

"The little people at the bottom are the little people at the bottom, why are you reluctant to give you even some good clothes every time?"

Yang Cheng complained and looked around.

There are a lot of people in this small village, and because it is next to a town like Xiangshui Town, it is relatively prosperous and peaceful.

Of course, compared with today's troubled times, it is not easy for everyone to still farm, harvest, and live.

Yang Cheng needs to check the information now, there is definitely no branch of the Demon Eradication Alliance here, and there may be a state capital like Qingyuan Mansion.

At this time, an old man who had finished farm work came over with a cow, and Yang Cheng walked over and asked, "Dare to ask the old man, how to get to Qingyuan Mansion?" ”

Although Yang Cheng is dressed as a wanderer, the old man is not afraid.

In these days, the common people are most afraid of not bandits, but soldiers.

The first is the chaotic soldiers, the thieves are like combs, and the soldiers are like grates. Those rebels are simply more ruthless than bandits and robbers, and even slaughtering villages and the like are common.

The second is the officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers rely on the power to snatch money and women, do all kinds of evil, and the common people dare not speak out, otherwise a big hat of anti-thief can make your life worse than death.

The third is the bandits, and although the bandits also do evil, most of the bandits are only for money.

Even the bandits know that once they kill all these people under the mountain, who will farm the land and who will make money? Who are they robbing?

It's a pity that even the robbers know this simple truth, but the government doesn't know it, and they have to force the people into a dead end.

The old man smiled and said, "The strong man wants to go to Qingyuan Mansion, I'm afraid he won't be able to go today."

Qingyuan Mansion has been going east, but now that it is dusk, Qingyuan Mansion has been under martial law, and I am afraid that a curfew will begin.

Zhuangman, you can't go to Qingyuan Mansion at this time. ”

Yang Cheng was surprised: "It's still bright today, and the curfew has begun?" ”

The old man said: "I heard that it seems that something strange happened in Qingyuan Mansion recently, and the government has been strictly investigating, so the curfew time is also early, and the investigation of outsiders is also very strong."

Strong man, you can rest in the town for one night first, and tomorrow you will follow the caravan in the town to Qingyuan Mansion and no one will check it.

Although our Xiangshui Town is small, there is still an inn. ”

Yang Cheng nodded and said, "Thank you, old man." ”

Xiangshui Town is next to Xiaoleijia Village, and it is a small town that cannot be smaller, because it is located around several villages, which has only developed.

The town isn't as big as a small area in the Overworld, but it's pretty well stocked.

Inns, grain stores, pharmacies, and so on are all available, but there is only one of each.

Such a small town can only support one store of each type, and if there is one more, neither of them will make money.

Yang Cheng came to the inn, and the shopkeeper and the bookkeeper and the second junior chef immediately came over enthusiastically and asked, "Is the guest officer playing the top or staying in the hotel?" ”

The small inn in Xiangshui Town doesn't have a few customers a month, and most of the time it sells some food to make some money from the surrounding villagers.

Therefore, as long as a guest comes to the hotel, the profit is more than the dishes he has fried for ten days.

"Get a few good dishes and open a clean upper room."

The shopkeeper is in his forties, and his skills are very good and very neat, and after a while, he will bring three dishes and one soup, although a few small stir-fry are just ordinary ingredients, but the taste is very good.

Yang Cheng was eating, and the sky outside was already getting dark.

At this time, there was still a table of people drinking and chatting in the inn, but seeing that it was dark, their complexions also changed slightly.

These guys are all alcoholics, usually the owner of a glass of wine to lick the wine glass, but at this time, he gritted his teeth, drank the wine in the cup directly, said hello to the shopkeeper and came to settle the bill tomorrow, and left in a hurry.

The shopkeeper also came over and closed the door and locked the door tightly.

Yang Cheng was surprised: "Is there a curfew in such a small town?" Closed so early. ”

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "If there is really a curfew, everyone will not be so afraid."

The town has been a bit unpeaceful in recent days, and three people have died in quick succession.

So everyone is a little noisy, and they don't dare to stay for a long time when it's dark. ”

Yang Cheng squinted his eyes and said, "Three people died?" Who are they? Was it killed by man, or was it killed by demons? ”

Right now, Yang Cheng wants to remove the branch of the Demon Alliance to investigate the information, but now he is only the lowest-level iron-branded knife catcher, so if he wants to go, it is best to bring something with him.

Otherwise, some secret information, why do people let you read it in vain?

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It's not that someone killed it, and it doesn't look like it was done by those evil things."

The three people who died were Fang Tiezhu, the hunter in the town, Wang Er, the carpenter who was Fang Tiezhu's neighbor, and Zhang Xiucai, a rare scholar in our town.

Wang Er and Fang Tiezhu killed each other, but Fang Tiezhu was honest, and Wang Er was also withdrawn and timid, no one would have thought that the two of them would kill each other.

And the tragic situation is unimaginable.

As for Zhang Xiucai, it is only one of our talents in Xiangshui Town for decades, and he is also kind to people on weekdays, teaching children to write for free, but he stabbed his throat with a brush, and the scene was even more evil.

In short, guest officer, go upstairs after you finish eating, this town is not peaceful at night, you must not go out. ”

Yang Chengran nodded, walked to the guest room on the second floor after eating, sat on the bed with his eyes closed, and his spiritual power continued to radiate.

Although Yang Cheng's cultivation in spiritual power is not strong, he is definitely not weak.

After all, he still has so many spiritual secret methods to support, although he is not as good as those cultivators who specialize in spiritual power, but it is much stronger than other reincarnators of the same level who follow the physical body cultivation route.

Xiangshui Town is such a small town, and some power fluctuations are difficult to hide from Yang Cheng's perception.

However, he spent nearly half of his spiritual power to search the entire Xiangshui Town, but he did not find any abnormal power fluctuations, which made Yang Cheng a little depressed.

Could it really be that they are simply resentful of each other, killing and committing suicide?

In fact, he wished that there was a demon at work, so that he could accumulate some achievements for himself as a knife catcher.

Not finding it for the time being, Yang Cheng continued to meditate.

If nothing happens tomorrow, he won't delay any longer, and he will go directly to Qingyuan Mansion.

…………

Three days ago.

Fang Tiezhu had three rabbits hanging from his waist, and with a bright smile on his face, he returned to Xiangshui Town from the mountain.

"Tiezhu, did you take your mother-in-law, why are you smiling so happily?"

There were acquaintances in the town jokingly joking, but Fang Tiezhu only smiled innocently and did not respond.

Fang Tiezhu is not a native of Xiangshui Town, so he has no land.

He fled in the face of a military disaster, but fortunately he still had two strengths, so he settled in Xiangshui Town and became a hunter.

But he doesn't have any property, the house is still rented, and although he can support himself as a hunter now, he will be old in the future, and he will not be able to go up the mountain, but he will start to be embarrassed, so he didn't say anything about his mother-in-law in his thirties.

Until a few days ago, he accidentally rescued a woman from under a wild boar while hunting in the mountains.

The woman was charming and beautiful, and her body was white and plump, as if she could pinch out the water with a handful.

Although Fang Tiezhu saved her, he had never touched a woman in his life, of course he couldn't bear it when he met such a tempting woman in this wilderness, and directly pressed the woman under him with red eyes.

But the strange thing is that the woman did not resist, but was very cooperative.

Afterwards, she said that her name was Lin Niang, and she also fled here due to a military disaster, and her parents had died at the hands of bandits, and now she was homeless, and asked Fang Tiezhu to take her in.

Bai picked up a beautiful mother-in-law like a flower, and Fang Tiezhu was of course ecstatic.

But he also knew that he was a poor hunter, and if he found a beautiful mother-in-law, he might be remembered by others.

So he secretly brought Lin Niang home in the middle of the night, locked Lin Niang at home during the day, and went back with the prey at night.

Today he hit three rabbits, two of which he kept for sale money, and one of which could be skinned and made a scarf for his mother-in-law.

However, when Fang Tiezhu came back, he heard a strange noise coming from inside the house, and Fang Tiezhu's head suddenly 'buzzed' and pushed the door open.

A person on the bed was pressing on Lin Niang, and that guy was his next-door neighbor, carpenter Wang Er!

Wang Er is a carpenter, because he was always abused by his stepmother when he was a child, so he developed a withdrawn and timid character.

Xiangshui Town was originally a small place, and everyone knew some simple carpenter work, so his business was not good, and he didn't marry his mother-in-law when he was almost forty.

But in the last few nights, he could always vaguely hear strange movements from Fang Tiezhu's house next door.

Driven by curiosity and the desire to peek into other people's privacy, he took advantage of Fang Tiezhu's absence during the day to sneak into a small hole in the wall of the two's house and peek, but saw Lin Niang changing clothes in the house, and the looming body made Wang Er suddenly feel like his whole body was about to explode, and directly climbed over the wall into Fang Tiezhu's house and pressed Lin Niang on the bed.

What Fang Tiezhu saw after returning home was such a scene.

"Wang Er! your ancestors! I'm going to kill you! ”

Fang Tiezhu's blood suddenly surged, and he pulled out the hunting knife in his hand and slashed towards Wang Er's head.

Wang Er grabbed it casually, and the carpenter's knife was placed at the head of the bed at some point, and the two of them immediately began to fight wildly, and blood instantly spread all over the house.

Lin Niang sat up lazily, draped her clothes casually, half-covered her body and watched the crazy fight between the two people, and her face showed a look of extreme enjoyment.
