The next day, the sky was bright, and the county began to turn from silence to hustle and bustle, when the sky and earth were beginning to dawn, the fog and dew had not completely dissipated, and the flowers and plants by the wall released vitality.

Qi Zixiao sat on the roof, absorbing the essence between heaven and earth, and when he reached the second-grade realm, his absorption of the essence of heaven and earth was also accelerated, and faintly, a wisp of purple qi came from the east and entered his body.

At this moment, Qi Zixiao felt that the bones of his whole body were crackling, and all the injuries he received last night had recovered.

At this time, he looked into the distance, on the street, there was an endless stream, the small vendors selling vegetables began to sell early, and the breakfast shop was also open, the fragrance was fragrant, and it could be smelled from a long distance.

There are also tenants who rush out of the city with wheelbarrows early in the morning, ready to farm, and foot merchants, who rush to the outside of the city with a batch of goods, and some children of the rivers and lakes are equipped with long swords, driving high-headed horses to the next city, with the dream of walking the rivers and lakes.

In the academy not far away, there was the sound of students reading aloud, reading the books of sages and sages, looking forward to one day being able to embark on a career in office.

On the streets, some children are running and playing, and the crisp and melodious sounds are full of innocence unique to this age.

It's a lively, busy scene.

At this time, Qi Zixiao fell on the roof, the pothos had already made breakfast, the uncle and aunt didn't know about what happened last night, and the little girl was also immersed in cooking.

After breakfast, Qi Zixiao came to the county office.

In the county office, at this time, a group of catchers gathered together, and Zhang County Ling was also there.

At this time, seeing Qi Zixiao's arrival, a group of people turned their eyes to him, and Zheng Hu was the first to speak, "Zixiao, I heard that you were attacked last night, it doesn't matter, right?" ”

"Alas, we shouldn't have left early last night......"

Hearing this, Qi Zixiao shook his head and said, "It's okay, the enemy probably didn't expect that I had broken through to the second-rank rebirth realm, and he didn't take me down in a short time, but fortunately, Lin Zhutou brought people to come later, which scared the other party away." ”

"Do you know who did it?"

Zhang Xianling said angrily at this time, "Dare to attack my Qingxian headhunter, I'm really impatient." ”

Although the head catcher is not even a ninth grade, he can be regarded as a member of the Great Qi bureaucracy, and attacking Qi Zixiao is to provoke the authority of the imperial court.

If this matter is not clarified, it is estimated that you will lose face when you meet other colleagues in the future.

Qi Zixiao shook his head, "It wasn't a person who did it last night, it was the corpse of a three-grade Shenqiao martial artist refined with evil arts, invulnerable, and stronger than ordinary Shenqiao martial artists, however, there should be someone behind this evil corpse who is controlling it, and the strength will not be very high, otherwise, it will not use these side doors." ”

"As long as you find the person behind it and deal with it, the evil corpse is just a corpse......"

He told everyone the news he got from Wuwu last night, and asked them to find a way, they can't let themselves do everything alone, although this is a county town, but in Daqi, the government is the most powerful force!

Hearing Qi Zixiao's explanation, everyone was a little surprised, the three-grade evil corpse was stronger than the average Shenqiao martial artist, this is not easy to do.

"However, according to my speculation, the evil corpse should be afraid of the scorching sun, and dare not appear during the day, and can only haunt at night, as long as the person behind the corpse can be found during the day, this matter can be easily solved."

Qi Zixiao opened his mouth and said.

When the words fell, a panicked voice came from outside, "Oh no, someone reported the crime, in Xiaquan Village outside the city, two families were killed......"

As he spoke, two officials came in with three villagers who were plainly dressed and looked honest.

Zhang Xianling waved his hand and let the two officials go down, a group of people looked at the three villagers in front of them, Zhang Xianling asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Two families in Xiaquan Village were killed, how do you know? ”

"The grass people and others are also people from Xiaquan Village, the two families who were killed are Wang Wu, Zhao Gang, and we all know each other, this morning, the grass people are about to go to the field to farm, but these two families are quiet, the grass people are very strange, after all, the two of them are famous for their diligence, never sleep lazy, I was a little curious, so I came forward and knocked on the door, knocked for a long time without moving, I thought something was wrong, so I called other people, knocked the door open, and as a result, found that they were all dead......"

As he spoke, a flash of fear flashed in the man's eyes.

If it is a normal death, everyone will not be afraid, but this kind of unnatural death, they are very worried, this time it is someone else, and next time it may be their turn.

Therefore, they all chose to report to the official as soon as they died, and in this era, the prestige of the government is still quite large.

Hearing this, a group of officials were all shocked, Qi Zixiao groaned for a while, and took the initiative to speak, "My lord, according to what he said, his subordinates vaguely feel that this matter is likely to be related to the evil corpse last night, and they are willing to go and investigate." ”

"Well, this official also thinks so, the evil corpse just came out last night, and today someone reported that he was killed, if you want to say that these two things have not been contacted, the official doesn't believe it, it's okay, Zixiao has come into contact with that evil corpse, and he is already a martial artist in the reincarnation realm, so it is appropriate to deal with this matter, however, considering the horror of that evil corpse, this official will arrange two more helpers for you, Zheng Hu, Lin Shan, you go with you, bring more people, and prevent accidents......"

Zhang Xianling opened his mouth and commanded, although he didn't know how to practice, he also knew the horror of the three-rank martial artist, and a person could not be his opponent.

"Zhang He, Yun Feng, you are responsible for searching in the county during the day today, looking for it door to door, you must not let that evil corpse still be in the city......"

Zhang Xianling looked at the last two catchers again and asked them to search in the city, after all, the evil corpse was so terrifying, if it was still in the city, no one would be able to carry it if they came again at night.

Hearing this, the two catchers nodded heavily, "The subordinates obey the order." ”

"By the way, I heard that Zixiao's knife has been damaged, so let's go to the treasure house and pick a good blade."

Zhang Xianling seemed to think of something and looked at Qi Zixiao.

Qi Zixiao nodded and thanked the other party.

After that, he entered the treasure house of the county government and re-selected a long knife, similar to the previous long knife, but unfortunately, the real divine soldiers will not be stored here in the county office.

Qi Zixiao was very greedy for the treasure knife in the hand of the evil corpse last night, even if the treasure knife was not a divine soldier, it was not far away, but in just a short time, his previous sharp weapon was almost destroyed.

He obviously felt that this was still the evil corpse's pure yin and evil power was too strong, and the knife was extremely strong and yang, and yin and yang repelled each other, so he was never able to fully exert the power of that knife.

Otherwise, with the power of the sun, urging the treasure sword, that power, Qi Zixiao estimated that even if he used the spirit domain, he might not even be able to withstand the three swords.

……

Qi Zixiao, Lin Shan and others followed the three villagers of Xiaquan Village to their village, and saw the scene of the crime, there were a total of seven people in the two families, none of them survived, they were pale, there was no blood, and there were two blood holes in the neck.

"This is a bit similar to the Demon Sect's methods."

Wang Quan said.

Qi Zixiao and the others looked around and saw some footprints, and he also nodded solemnly, "Judging from the footprints, it should be a tall man, which matches the shape of the evil corpse last night." ”

"And, I feel a cold aura from the footprints, this is corpse qi, only the dead will have ......"

"It seems that this case should be the work of the evil corpse."

Zheng Hu opened his mouth and said, looking at Qi Zixiao, "Judging from the death of these seven people, they didn't even react to the fact that they were all killed, but I don't know if this evil corpse killed for recovery or simply for the sake of killing......

At this time, many villagers were watching from a distance, and this was the first time that their village had been broken into by so many officials.

Qi Zixiao pondered for a moment, "Properly place these seven corpses, that evil corpse appears here, it means that it is very close to here, I want to take people to search around here, if I can find the other party, maybe I can solve the case today......"

Hearing this, Lin Shan and Zheng Hu both looked solemn, "The three of us separated, each led a team of people to search, and when we encountered danger, we signaled ......"

At this time, an old man walked tremblingly, this is the village chief of Xiaquan Village, surnamed Wu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder if there is anything we can help with?"

Village Chief Wu said respectfully, "These two families died tragically, and we hope that the government can arrest the real culprit as soon as possible and return our Xiaquan Village to peace." ”

"Village chief, we're going to search this area now, you can help us find some familiar people to lead the way."

Qi Zixiao looked at the other party and said, "Especially some mountains and forests, sparsely populated places. ”

"That's easy to say."

When the other party heard this, he immediately arranged for seven or eight villagers to show them the way, all of whom were hunters who often went into the mountains to hunt.

Qi Zixiao and the others divided into three paths and began to search around......
