Cao Shigui said: "In addition to the snacks and wine, there are also some mice."

I'm afraid that no one except the two of them can guess why this dead rat is on the table.

Qu Yong stared at the mouse for a long time, and suddenly said, "Do you know how to catch the mouse?" ”

Rats are a very interesting thing, it is a close relative of humans, and the genetic difference between humans is only one percent, closer than gorillas and humans, but it is also one of the most hated, disgusting, and disgusting animals of humans, its sense of smell is even stronger than that of dogs, but poor eyesight, extremely alert, it may be very mysterious to say, but rats have memory, it is very sensitive to changes in the environment, all in all, it is not easy to catch a mouse.

"Catch mice." Although Cao Shigui didn't understand what he meant, he still smiled and said: "You may not be able to answer what others ask, but when I was young, I met educated youths who went to the countryside, and at that time, there were many rat infestations in the countryside, and every household had a mouse trap and rat poison. ”

Qu Yong didn't seem satisfied with this promise, and he continued: "Mousetraps, rat poison, in addition to these methods, how else can you catch mice. ”

Cao Shigui was stunned for a moment and said: "Also, there are only cats, and it is natural for cats to catch mice." ”

Qu Yong said: "Except for cats, can people catch mice?" ”

"How do people catch mice?" Cao Shigui immediately denied: "These rats are like ghosts, how can people catch them." ”

Qu Yongqi said: "So, how did these rats get caught." ”

When Qu Yong asked, Cao Shigui couldn't answer, there were no rat traps, no poisonous rat poison, and no cats, but there were so many dead mice, isn't it strange.

Could it be that the rats themselves ran to the table and died?

Just when they were puzzled, a black shadow suddenly flashed under their feet, as fast as a sharp arrow.

"Where to go,." Qu Yong screamed, the silver light in his hand flashed, and it had already shot the black shadow, it screamed briefly, and fell to the ground, its limbs twitching.

"Good trick." Although the thousand nineteen masters couldn't see, but their hearing was outstanding, he listened carefully just now, and he could hardly hear the sound of the silver needle breaking the wind, he blurted out and praised: "This is the legendary flying through the air." ”

"Yes." Qu Yong walked to the incense burner, picked up the dead mouse, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that these rats smelled this strange incense, so they came out one after another, but" He put the rat on the table on the left, and said, "How did they kill this mouse." ”

"What do you mean?"

"I'm killing rats with silver needles, so how did they kill them, these rats don't have any scars on them" Qu Yong picked up a dead rat with chopsticks and said strangely: "How is it hard." ”

The mouse that has been dead for a long time is naturally stiff, but the mouse that Qu Yong picked up, from head to toe, and even every mouse hair is hard, as if it has been put in the quick-freezer box of the refrigerator for three days and three nights before taking it out, Qu Yong seems to have thought of something, no longer cares, and directly picks up the dead mouse with two fingers, and a heart-piercing coldness seeps into his lungs from his fingertips, he muttered: "This is the internal strength of the yin and cold, I originally thought that there could be no such palm power in the world, it seems that I am sitting in a well and watching the sky." ”

"It's cloudy and cold." Cao Shigui said: "What kind of martial arts is this?" ”

Qu Yong said: "I only heard my master mention that in the former Xiangxi area, there was a kind of business that specialized in the dead people, called corpse chasers, they would have a very strange martial arts, extremely cold, which could make the corpse not rot for several months, so as to facilitate them to drive the corpse home." ”

The mysterious and unpredictable corpse in Xiangxi, in the early years, is still very common, if the outsider stays in the mysterious mountain village inn in Xiangxi, and sees the dead body walking, it will be frightened not lightly, generally speaking, the corpse is in the middle of the night, staggering walking a line of corpses, the corpses are covered with a wide black corpse cloth, these corpses covered with black corpse cloth, there is a living person holding a gong, this living person, the local people are called "corpse chasers".

Since there is a corpse chaser, this industry has been accompanied by countless secrets, the most incomprehensible of which is how these corpses can be days, months and not decay, this secret is also taboo in the rivers and lakes, ordinary people do not want to mess with them, over time it will become more and more mysterious, Tianyi Lao Dao once fought with a corpse chaser when he was young, he has seen the other party's martial arts, it is the yin to the cold, every time the fists and feet are connected, it seems to have fallen into the ice hole, and the blood of the body is also afraid to be frozen, Fortunately, the corpse chaser had strange internal strength at that time, but his moves were ordinary, and Tianyi Lao Dao barely suffered any losses, and finally failed.

This matter was only occasionally mentioned to Qu Yong, and at that time, Tianyi Lao Dao said: "In this era, there is no such thing as chasing corpses, and I don't know if this strange internal strength will disappear with it, and I don't know if it's a blessing or misfortune in the martial arts world." ”

Unexpectedly, Qu Yong would encounter this kind of martial arts that should have disappeared in the long river of history in this place, he put down this mouse, and walked to the opposite side to pick up another dead mouse, but found that it was as soft as cotton, as if there was no half a bone, and it felt like a pile of rotten meat wrapped in a piece of skin.

"This is the way this mouse died, compared to the previous one, it is completely two extremes, this person is so strong in his internal strength." Qu Yong knew that this person used his unparalleled internal strength to destroy all the muscles, bones, and internal organs of this mouse in an instant, and the most rare thing was that he did not leave the slightest scar on the epidermis, which shows that his use of his strength has reached the point of being free to retract and release.

The rats on both sides, different ways of dying, it seems that they were killed by Xiongba and the dwarf, this kind of cold internal strength should be the dwarf's, and the Xiongba is extremely rigid and extremely strong, he roughly guessed what had happened in the hall.

I saw him say slowly: "I guess, this is a confrontation between Xiongba and the dwarf, the mouse is attracted by this strange incense, the two agreed to bet on each other to kill the rat according to their ability, and the result is that who loses and who wins is already clear at a glance, the male bully killed five mice, and the dwarf is three." ”

"Bet on each other." Qianjiu Ye said: "What is their bet, with the dignity of the hero, why should he come to the dwarf alone." ”

Cao Shigui said: "According to my experience, generally speaking, the more high-ranking people have, the more secrets they can't tell people, as the master of the Six Realms, he actually came here alone, he should have the scruples of not exposing the secret, and this secret must also be a bet between him and the dwarf." ”

Qu Yong said: "What could it be?" ”

Cao Shigui said helplessly: "How can we know this, if you want to gamble, there are too many things that can be gambled." ”

"Not much, at least not much." Qianjiu Ye said: "There are a lot of things that can be betted, but there are not many bets that can't be said to people."

Cao Shigui said: "That, what does the nineteenth master mean." ”

The Thousand Nineteen Master pondered for a moment and said, "I can't say for sure now."

Qu Yong suddenly said: "Is it possible that it is for women?" ”

Qianjiu Ye's heart moved, and said: "Why do you say that, I also vaguely feel in my heart that it seems to be related to women, but I don't know why I have such thoughts." ”

Cao Shigui said: "Maybe it's the legend about the fairy, maybe it's the corpse of the women we saw outside the cave, in the cave where this dwarf lives, it's obvious that there is no second man besides him, since he is so lascivious and lustful, it's hard to guarantee that he won't get into a romantic debt." ”

Qianjiu Ye said: "We are still guessing after all, but if this is true, then the matter will become more and more interesting." ”

The interesting thing is far from their imagination, they walked through the hall, and a short distance forward, they came across a female corpse, it was still a girl, wearing a dress worn by the ancients, facing the sky on her back, and she was not willing to die at all, Qu Yong's face turned white, he looked around, starting from his heels, every few steps, there was a corpse of a girl, a long corridor to the end, and I don't know how many corpses were placed, at least thirty or forty.

The girls all had blue faces, their eyes refusing to close, and they were shining by the light of the flashlight, as if they were rolling their eyes and staring at them uninvited guests.

Cao Shigui Fuchen Shopping Mall, he had never seen such a strange scene, and he stood there motionless for a while, as if he was stunned.

Don't say it's him, even Qu Yong feels creepy.

"Something's going on,." Qian Jiu Ye's eyes couldn't see, he could only feel that the atmosphere between Qu Yong and the two was wrong, and asked.

"Dead people, all dead people." Qu Yong barely held back and wanted to vomit, took a deep breath desperately, and quickly said what was in front of him.

Qianjiu Ye didn't know if it was out of sight, or if he was old and fearless, he didn't have any mood fluctuations, and said lightly: "Dead people, how did they die." ”

Qu Yong had to check it carefully, and said: "It is likely that they died of poisoning, the poison started quickly, and they didn't have time to react too much, the person was already gone." ”

"Poisoning." Qianjiu Ye said: "This is not right, why is it poisoned, what are they comparing to this poisoning." ”

Qu Yong said: "Nineteenth Master, what do you mean." ”

Qianjiu Ye said: "The old man originally guessed that these dead people should be their second gamble, and the bet was a killing competition, but there is no reason why they were poisoned to death, I don't understand."

"Killing Contest." Qu Yong's stomach tumbled for a while, and he shook his hand and said, "No, these girls don't seem to have been killed by them." ”

"And who killed it?"

Of course, they couldn't guess that these girls were all dead in the hands of Peilan, and when the male bully saw that the corridor was full of female corpses, the tiger body on his male side couldn't help but be slightly shocked.

The dwarf looked at him coldly and said, "What a heroic man the male lord is, is he afraid when he sees a few corpses?" ”
