The accidental death of the money shopkeeper of the grocery store in the east of the city caused an uproar in the small Xuancheng, and the people were panicked for a while, and they could not live in peace all day long.

A few days later, it really entered the wax moon, and the weather became colder, but the cause of the money shopkeeper's death has not been found so far, or the murderer of the money shopkeeper has not been found.

On this day, Ye Li bought steamed buns and bean juice as usual and had breakfast with the old man.

"How's the bamboo compendium?" asked the old man after taking a sip of bean juice.

"I've been making it up, and I've given a lot of it to the big cow next door, and the rest is under the bed. Ye Li replied truthfully.

The old man sighed lightly, "Hey, I don't know who killed the money shopkeeper, it's really unconscionable." ”

Ye Li was silent and did not answer.

After breakfast, the old man said that he wanted to go out for a walk, and asked Ye Li not to follow. Looking at the old man's swaying figure, Ye Li sat back by the door, focusing on the bamboo slip in his hand.

The old man didn't come back until the evening, and he also carried two small jars of wine, "On the day when the money shopkeeper died, Ye Li, I heard the guards at the east gate of the city say that there were two black-clothed people who hurriedly entered and hurried out, and they were still holding a bag of things before leaving, and when they went down to the city gate the next day, they found this in the snow." ”

The old man took out a bamboo stick from his bosom.

Ye Li took the bamboo strip and frowned slightly, "Isn't this the bamboo strip I use to weave bamboo slips......?"

"Yes, this is what I am strange about, the thread of the vein weaving bamboo slips is not an ordinary thread, but a thousand bamboo threads extracted from the bamboo strip itself, even if it is difficult to cut with a knife blade, it is impossible to scatter it lightly. The old man put down his wine and fell into deep thought.

Ye Li looked at the bamboo strip in his hand, although the surface was calm, but his heart was already turbulent, because there was a residual breath of runes on the bamboo strip in his hand, although this breath had almost disappeared, Ye Li could still clearly feel this little fluctuation.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry about this for now, let's eat. Ye Li put down the bamboo strip and spoke.

After the meal, the old man drank a little wine and went into the back room, it is now a cold winter, and it is good to warm up with some wine. At night, Ye Li rubbed his dry eyes, put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and blew out the candle.

The door of the house slowly opened, Ye Li's figure quickly flashed out, and closed the wooden door, and the whole person quietly blended into the darkness. But he didn't know that as soon as he went out, the old man in the back room slowly opened his eyes.

The old man looked out of the house and seemed to have a feeling, "This kid ......"

Ye Li walked into the darkness, but there was still not a trace of runes on his body, for more than half a year, he had been acting as an ordinary person, and he did not want to expose it unless necessary.

Uncle Wang's body was almost dying, and Ye Li's idea was very simple, just waiting for Uncle Wang to go west and give him a funeral. Because, from Uncle Wang, he saw the shadow of the village chief's grandfather.

At night, Xuancheng was silent, and there was snow on the ground, but the sky was not beautiful, and the moon was blocked by dark clouds, otherwise it would be bright in the middle of the night.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch......" Ye Li stepped into the snow step by step, setting off the late night more quietly.

When I arrived at the East City Gate, I found that the guards were squinting, leaning against the walls of the stone houses on the lookout, half-asleep.

At night, the weather was terrible cold, and there was a fire in the stone house, so these guards didn't feel too cold, Ye Li hid in the dark, watching quietly, the night passed quietly, and when he arrived in the east, there was a faint white belly, and Ye Li turned around and left.

I bought steamed buns and bean juice on the way, and carried a few fried dough sticks before returning to the house.

The old man was still asleep in the back room, Ye Li quietly lay on the bed, and after about half an hour, he woke up the old man.

The old man, as usual, didn't seem to know that Ye Li went out last night, and after breakfast, he went out again.

"Those guards don't have the slightest trace of runes on their bodies, they should just be ordinary people. Who took the bamboo slips I made up when they fell to the ground?" Ye Li packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and fell into deep thought, originally thinking that it was just the simplest murder, but he didn't expect that it would involve cultivators who should not appear in the world.

Ye Li just wanted to go around, hoping to come across something useful, but suddenly a gust of wind blew at the door, and a black shadow appeared at the door, but the surrounding neighbors didn't seem to see it.

"Young man, don't get involved in last night's incident, otherwise it won't do you any good. "There are runes flickering around the man in black, and it is these runes that produce special powers that block the sight of ordinary people.

Ye Li didn't care, the cultivation of the people who came here was not strong, they just had some special skills, "I was really surprised that there were cultivators in the little Xuancheng, but don't you think that you are standing in front of me like this, and you are not afraid that I will kill you?"

Ye Li smiled at the corner of his mouth, his originally bright eyes suddenly turned black, and an indescribable aura suddenly rushed into the body of the man in black, "You should know that if I want to kill you, it is not much more difficult than stepping on an ant, as for why the person behind you sent you over to send you to death, I am not interested in knowing, just roll as far as you can." ”

The black-clothed man's body froze directly, he originally thought that Ye Li was just a young man with a lot of courage, so he had the idea of playing tricks on Ye Li, and wanted to pinch Ye Li. But I didn't expect Ye Li to be the real real person who didn't show up, just the means he revealed a little bit were enough to make him die without a place to be buried.

However, just as the man in black was about to leave, his afterglow suddenly swept to the bamboo slips piled up by the door, his pupils shrank slightly, but he quickly pretended to be frightened and quickly left.

Ye Li stood by the door, looking at the back of the man in black leaving, and the brilliance in his eyes flowed.

The old man, as he had done yesterday, did not return until evening, "I have heard from the guards that it is difficult to close this gate when a snowstorm comes, because the wind is too strong to force it to close, and it is estimated that it will be unbearable." ”

The old man seemed to say something irrelevant, but Ye Li still nodded, without the slightest doubt, "In two days, the reason for the death of the money shopkeeper should be known, I guess it is because of the bamboo slips I weave that some people who should not appear." ”

At night, Ye Li quietly went out again, this time he did not stay in the city again, but went directly out of the east city gate, and quickly swept away along the official road into the distance.

There was still not the slightest rune circulating, and with his physical body alone, Ye Li's speed would exceed that of most of the demon sealing powerhouses.

After running along the official road for thirty miles, Ye Li suddenly stopped, he closed his eyes and felt it carefully, after half a pillar of incense, Ye Li suddenly left the official road and walked towards the low woods on the side.

When he arrived here, Ye Li became a lot more cautious, he found a hidden place to hide himself, and then began to wait patiently.

An hour passed, there was not the slightest movement here, and another hour, Ye Li's eyes barely blinked, and suddenly there were two people walking over on the official road in front of him, and the speed seemed to be slow and fast, almost reaching the level of Tianjiao in the Leather Realm.

At such a late day, almost no one will appear on the official road, not to mention that the speed of these two people is in the world, it is also shocking, Ye Li's eyes stared at these two people tightly, and it took ten breaths before he walked out of the hidden place.

At night, there was a sudden strong wind, and Ye Li was just about to chase after the two people, when his figure suddenly stopped.

Two men in black shirts were already standing behind Ye Li at some point, and in the dark night, the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
