Chapter 5 Remnants

Pei Li remembered the small talk when Lin Lin taught him boxing.

"But that's not the case when it comes to the real enemy." One big and one small sat under the tree, Lin Lin used his true qi to make a jar of well water soak plums cold, and the fragments of the midsummer sun fell on his face through the leaves, "No one will stand still and let you attack the vital point, if you always have the purpose of killing with a blow, you often can't succeed." In real fights, you need to not miss any opportunity to hurt the opponent, attack wherever you can, and build up an advantage little by little. ”

"Isn't it okay to have higher martial arts than the other party?"

"Hmm...... That's much, much higher. Lin Lin said, "For example, the two of us, my martial arts are higher than yours, but if I want to hit your heart and lungs, I can't kill you with one blow." You're quick to react and you'll be able to block it, so I'll have to bend my arm before I can break into your empty door. Count...... At least three moves. ”

"Ah...... Are all the tricks in the story fake? ”

"Not really, there are a lot of ...... in the world Someone unimaginably powerful. Lin Lin looked at the sky, his tone was a little fascinated, he turned his head and pointed at the practicing wooden man and smiled at Pei Li, "But you can imagine that if you can cut your throat with a sword or break your heart with one palm, doesn't it mean that the enemy is the same as this wooden man in your eyes?" ”

Now that this conversation has come into reality, the elder who seemed to be extremely powerful back then has really become a wooden man in the eyes of others.

The chill, the anger, and the oppression that made it difficult to breathe welled up in his heart at the same time, but the frustration dissipated somewhat, for by this time he knew that even if he could arrive in time, it would not change the outcome, it was just an additional corpse here.

Holding the hilt of the sword, Pei Ye looked around.

There has always been a clearing in the middle of the forest paved with stone slabs, which is the remains of a small pavilion that had been demolished.

Now a straight stick stood in the center, with a faint blue flame on top of it, which seemed to be about to burn out.

There were seven groups of boot prints on the ground in front of the flames, the first group belonged to the person Pei Ye was chasing all the way, and the other six groups stood side by side behind this person.

Looking further, the four small bronze cups that fell to the ground first, and Lao Xiangzi's words of "fairy water" came to mind again.

Next to the cup were four tattered blood-stained coats, all torn apart by something like a claw, their owners gone.

One was a long bedgown, which seemed to come from a large family in the county; The two are shorts that are the same as those on Pei Ye's legs, from two young teenagers.

The most eye-catching is the last one, scattered and broken cyan silk satin, and there is a torn main part next to it, which is an unshapeable belly pocket.

The girl's name is about to come out.

Pei Ye and Lin Jue were very good playmates when they were young, but as they grew older, Pei Ye went up the mountain to catch fish and hunt deer, but Lin Jue was unable to go out, so he read all kinds of poems and scripts in the house, and the two inevitably met less and less.

However, whenever Lin Jue came to the martial arts hall to deliver food to Lin Lin, the two could still chat for a while, at that time the girl was Pei Li's loyal shouter, every time she competed, whether it was a casual competition in the martial arts hall, or the county's high-profile Mid-Autumn Festival martial arts meeting, Lin Jue always cheered for him loudly, and Pei Ye always won every victory logically.

Even after half a year of the injury in the dantian, when the other companions have almost stopped interacting, the girl will still seize every opportunity to go out to visit and encourage him, handicrafts, snacks, calligraphy and painting, and sometimes even some silver coins, between the two of them have received more than 100, mostly benefited by Pei Li.

Pei Ye slowly picked up this little dress stained by mud and blood, the orchid embroidered on it was clumsy, you can imagine how the girl worked hard to use her inconvenient hands under the candlelight, holding her little face stitch by stitch and strenuous outline.

……

……

The county magistrate Chang Zhiyuan is still in good spirits at the age of more than sixty, and his face is as solemn as his character, although his beard is half white, but when he occasionally raises his eyes to stare at someone, it still makes people feel like a sword blade.

County Cheng Feng Zhi is in his thirties, with a dark complexion, eyes like copper bells, thick eyebrows and long hair, a violent temperament, a rough and rough speech, and a body like a bucket. In fact, Feng Zhi does have martial arts, if Feng Huai has useful martial arts in addition to Shen Yanping and Lin Lin, it is Feng Zhi.

Shen Yanping, the regular inspector of Xianrentai, is dressed in a hosta, with a jade face, although he doesn't look like it, but he is indeed about the same age as Feng Zhi. The reason why Xianrentai sent people to be stationed in various counties was to deal with this kind of special incident, although Shen Yanping was not a warlock, he was a martial artist like Lin Lin and Feng Zhi, but his attainments in corresponding knowledge were very comparable. At this time, he looked at the fire talisman on Pei Li's head, and went back to the county government to flip through the book with a pair of thin eyebrows.

The sky is already bright, and the tolerances in the woods are shuttling back and forth, and according to the scale of Fenghuai, the tolerance of the whole county is probably seventy-seven, eighty-eight.

This is indeed a big enough case, and it seems to be a continuation of yesterday's case of breaking the temple in the north of the city, a total of six people were killed, and the only body left was the county lieutenant Lin Lin, but the murderer did not even leave a corner of his clothes.

Pei Ye also put on a robe, the wounds inside were carefully bandaged, and Chang Zhiyuan stood in one place to ask, the young man's tone was calm, and he lowered his eyebrows to tell his experience in great detail, and his expression could not show joy or anger.

Feng Zhi walked over with a black face after inspecting the scene.

"I have sent someone to the tailor's shop to compare the shoe prints, but this kind of person must be from outside, and most of them will be fruitless, unless he has a disease that can't stand the dirty shoes." Feng Zhi said roughly, "Another...... This palm is indeed extraordinary, and we may not be able to bear this kind of case. ”

Chang Zhiyuan said: "I have sent a letter to the state government asking for help, but the messenger has just reported that the rain last night was too heavy, and the road out of the mountain was destroyed by mud and rocks, and it was impossible to run a horse. ”

"Then wait for Shen Yanping to come back and ask him to use the soul bird to send a message to Xianrentai."

"That's all there is to it." Chang Zhiyuan nodded, "What about you, what's going on with that beast?" ”

"The paw prints at the scene are in the same shape as yesterday's, but this time there are four people who were victimized, and it is revealed that there are indeed people planning behind it, let's take a look." Feng Zhi led the two of them over, "This beast left bloody paw prints on all four pieces of clothing, and these four people still seem to have been eaten by it, but there is no transition from one piece of clothing to another, as if they jumped over." ”

There is no need for Feng Zhi to explain later, the two of them can also see that after eating Lin Jue, the unknown beast walked towards Lin Lin, this blood paw print from thick to light was slightly clearer, but it didn't eat Lin Lin, but killed him with a not very effective means.
