The real inside story of Liu County's killing, there are very few people in the Li family who know it, except for Chen Shuxia, there are also Steward Li and Tie Shan.

These two people are loyal to the Li family and are not worried about leaking out.

As for outsiders, even if they suspect that the Li family did this, so what?

The person has been killed, there is no proof of death, Li Xintian also wiped out all the relationships, after all, Wu Feiye of Hongtian Mountain is indeed a robber.

It's just that a few years ago, Li Xintian sent people from the dart line to take down this group of robbers in Hongtian Mountain.

Under the lure of Xu Yili, Wu Fei surrendered with his subordinates and merged into the dart game.

But not openly, but secretly to the Li family.

In fact, he was still a robber on Hongtian Mountain, but he didn't rob his house anymore.

The reason for this arrangement is that Li Xintian is afraid that one day the Li family will do something disgraceful and need to use Wu Fei's place.

"Let's go. ”

After some preparations, Li Xintian sat on a thousand-mile horse, led a team of people and horses, and escorted 100,000 taels of silver from the house.

In order to finish this last scene, Li Xintian had to go to Hongtian Mountain in person.

As for the 100,000 taels of silver, it was just a turn around and back to the Li family.

Li Xintian rode on a horse, but after experiencing these things, he was full of emotion in his heart.

"People in the world say that demons and monsters are terrible, but what is even more terrible is the human heart, and the demons eat people and are retributioned by heaven, but the people's hearts are in turmoil, so who cares? The laws of the imperial court can only control the common people, not those who live in temples. ”

While thinking about it, the convoy was gradually about to drive out of Hydrology County.

"Look, it's the Li family's convoy, and it's the Li family's eldest young master who leads the team, where are they going?"

"Idiot, I don't know yet, the eldest young master is going to Hongtian Mountain to redeem people, won't you know that Master Li was kidnapped by Wu Fei, a thief from Hongtian Mountain, and I saw that there were no ten big boxes, all of them were ransom silver taels. ”

"So much money, I'm afraid it's no less than 100,000 people, eh, in the end, all this is the dog official's harm, if it weren't for his county, how could there be such a thing. ”

The people of Shuiwen County discussed, and their hatred for Liu County's dog official deepened, and they began to sympathize with the Li family's experience.

Li Xintian's face was calm and unmoved, although he used some conspiracies and tricks, but he really said that he was just presenting the truth to everyone.

There is no right or wrong, free and fair.

The convoy drifted away.

By the evening, they had already left the boundary of Hydrological County.

"Tieshan, go and take two people to see if there are any villages around here, there is no post station, we are getting late, let's find a place to settle down first, and then we will go tomorrow." Li Xintian said.

"Yes, young master. Tie Shan ordered the two of them, and immediately rode away quickly.

Soon, they were back.

"Young Master, there is a village three miles ahead. Iron Mountain said.

"Very good, while going there to stay. Li Xintian said.

When the convoy reached the entrance of the village, a young man who was covered in tatters and looked like a beggar suddenly rushed over and stopped the mount of Tieshan in front.

"I have a mirror here, please, can you let me take a look?" said the beggar boy, looking haggard, and stopped in front of his war horse and pleaded.

He was holding a quaint bronze mirror in his hand, which seemed to be some years old.

"Phew. ”

Tie Shan's face changed, and he hurriedly grabbed the war horse.

"Boy, you're too reckless, just stop the horse, if you don't get it, something will happen. ”

"Please, uncle, let me take a look at this bronze mirror, just take a look. The beggar boy was not afraid of the war horse in front of him at all, but just begged Tie Shan and the others to take a look at the bronze mirror in his hand.

Li Xintian rode a horse curiously at this time and said, "What happened to Tieshan. ”

"Back to the eldest young master, the younger one doesn't know, this young man stopped my horse and insisted that I take a look at the mirror in his hand. Tie Shan also looked puzzled.

Li Xintian turned over and dismounted and said, "Little brother, why do you want to stop us and ask us to look in the mirror?"

When the beggar boy saw Li Xintian leaning over, he hurriedly took the bronze mirror in his hand and took a look at him.

But something strange happened, there should have been a shadow of someone on the bronze mirror, but after Li Xintian took a picture, there was no shadow, and it was empty.

"Huh. Li Xintian was also curious when he saw this.

This bronze mirror is not ordinary.

The beggar boy suddenly looked a little lost, and then looked at the bronze mirror at the others like crazy.

But it is strange to say that the others have shadows on the bronze mirror, but the beggar boy still looks extremely lost.

"I'm a big man looking in the mirror, and I'm going. One of the guards glared at him impatiently and shouted.

Seeing this, Li Xintian became even more curious.

The beggar boy seemed to be looking for someone with a bronze mirror.

Li Xintian immediately became curious when he saw this beggar boy's strange actions.

Curious not only about his behavior, but also about the bronze mirror in his hand.

"Little brother, what are you looking for with the bronze mirror? If you say it, I might be able to help you with that. ”

Li Xintian said.

The beggar boy was suddenly surprised and said, "Really, are you really willing to help me?"

"Of course, I'm willing to help you as long as I can. ”

Li Xintian nodded his head and said.

"Great. The beggar boy suddenly became excited and said, "None of the people in the village will help me, and they all think I am crazy, but I know that I am not crazy, as long as I can find the person the Taoist said, the village will be saved." ”

"Huh?"

Li Xintian's expression immediately moved slightly and said, "There is a Taoist chief who wants you to find someone? ”

The beggar boy picked up the bronze mirror and said, "Whoever takes a look at this bronze mirror, if there are three figures, it is the person the Taoist is looking for." ”

"Only one figure can appear in the bronze mirror, how can there be three figures. Li Xintian felt a little ridiculous.

"But that's what the Taoist said. The beggar boy had some lost words.

Li Xintian said: "Can you show me the mirror?"

"I'll only show you for a while, don't lose it. The beggar boy was very reluctant to hand over the bronze mirror.

After Li Xintian took it, he felt that this bronze mirror was cool, slightly dull, and seemed to be a little different from ordinary copper mirrors, he picked up the bronze mirror again and took a look at himself, there was no doubt that there was no reflection of himself on it.

"Iron Mountain, come here. ”

"Yes, young master. Iron Mountain walked over.

Li Xintian took the bronze mirror and took a picture of him, and the reflection of Tieshan immediately appeared in the bronze mirror, but there was only one shadow, let alone three shadows, and even two shadows did not appear.

After a deep sigh, he handed the bronze mirror to the beggar boy and asked, "Why does that Taoist leader want you to find someone who can shine three shadows?"

"The Taoist chief said that only three shadow people can kill the youkai in the lake in front of our village. ”

The beggar boy mentioned the monster with a mixture of fear and hatred in his eyes.

"There's a monster in that village over there?" Li Xintian said, pointing to a village not far away.

He could vaguely see that there was a relatively large lake near the village.

"Yes, there is a very fierce monster in the lake, and it has eaten a lot of people, my second uncle was eaten while swimming, my father was also eaten when he was fishing, and my mother was also eaten while washing clothes by the lake...... My four-year-old sister took a bamboo pole to fight youkai and was also eaten. ”

When the beggar boy said this, he stood there and began to cry, wiping his tears as he cried.

A four-year-old girl who heard that her parents were eaten by monsters and went to the lake with a bamboo pole to fight monsters?

Li Xintian was silent when he heard this.

"My family is dead, I want revenge, I want to kill that monster, so I went to a nearby temple and asked the gods to worship the Buddha, hoping that the gods would open their eyes and accept the monster, but no gods would pay attention to me. ”

The beggar boy cried and said: "Later, I met an old Taoist, and I begged the old Taoist to help me kill the monster, but the old Taoist said that he was old and not good enough to defeat the monster, so he gave me this bronze mirror and asked me to find someone who could reflect three figures, and only when I found such a person could I deal with the monster." ”

"You say, Daoist, he won't lie to me, right? Suddenly, the beggar boy grabbed Li Xintian with tears and asked.

"The people in the village are saying that the chief is lying to people, tell me, is the chief lying to me?"

Li Xintian said seriously: "The Taoist didn't lie to you, what he said is true, as long as you find someone with three shadows, you can help you get rid of the monster, but the Taoist hasn't said yet, the person with three shadows can get rid of the demon, and the person without the shadow can also get rid of the demon." ”

"Really?" the beggar boy looked at him in amazement.

"Of course it's true, you see, I can't see a shadow on it. Li Xintian looked at the mirror again, and there was nothing on the bronze mirror, and there was no shadow of him at all.

On this point, he believed that the old Taoist did not deceive this little beggar, maybe the old Taoist was really not good enough, and his mana was not enough, and he couldn't deal with this monster, so he could only help it, so he gave this bronze mirror to this young man, and asked him to find help from someone who has the ability and Taoism.

"Please, I beg you, you help me kill that youkai, as long as I can kill that youkai, I can do whatever I want. ”

The beggar boy immediately knelt on the ground with a puff and kowtowed wildly on the dirt road.

"What are you doing. Li Xintian's face changed, and he hurriedly helped him up and said, "You don't need to kowtow, I promise you to help you get rid of that monster, get up, get up." ”

"Thank you, thank you. The beggar boy said with tears in his eyes.

Li Xintian immediately waved his hand and said, "Everyone follow me to the village in front of me to settle down." ”

"Yes, young master. The guards under his command immediately took action.

But at this time, Tie Shan came over and said in a suppressed voice: "Young Master, if there are really monsters in this village, what method can we use to get rid of it, there is no shop in front of the village and no shop in this vicinity, and there are no monks and Taoist priests." ”

"I can't care so much, go into the village to see first, I can always think of a way, this monster is powerful in the village, eating countless people, if I don't get rid of it, I can't feel at ease. ”

Li Xintian frowned deeply.

"But what about the master's side? I'm afraid I'll have to delay for a while. Iron Mountain said.

Li Xintian said: "It doesn't matter, my father is not suffering in Hongtian Mountain, he is recuperating from his injuries, there are Wu Fei and Han Meng to take care of them, if something happens, don't persuade me anymore, I am destroyed today." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand.

The convoy moved on.

The beggar boy sat in a bright carriage and followed Li Xintian and the others slowly towards the village.

Great Lakes Village!

Before entering the village, I saw a stone tablet standing next to the village road.

As the convoy approached, there were already many villagers standing in the fields, looking curiously.

"Where did the convoy come from, weird and magnificent, look at those horses, and people, all of them are tall and big, it can't be a team to welcome relatives, there are boxes on the carriage. ”

"Nonsense, where is there a yellow flower girl in any village, and some are married early. ”

"Look, isn't that the orphan of Lao Gan's family, a little pole? ”

"I don't know, could it be a former relative of the old Gan family. ”

The villagers who were working in the fields began to talk about it.

Li Xintian and the convoy soon came to Dahu Village.

As soon as he entered the village, he could see the sparkling, calm and clear lake in front of the village.

However, the lake was covered with white spirit flags, various memorial offerings, and various paper money and paper ashes that had not yet been blown away, and it seemed that many people had died in this calm lake, as the beggar boy had said.

Not only his parents, second uncle, and sister, but also other families in the village are afraid that there are also dead people.

Nine times out of ten, the demon haunting thing is true.

"Where is your home?" asked Li Xintian.

The beggar boy's surname is Gan, and the village calls him Little Pole because he is thin and weak.

The little pole hurriedly pointed to a hut not far from the lake and said, "That's my home." ”

After Li Xintian walked over, he saw that the hut had not been taken care of for a long time, it was in tatters, and there was a hole in the roof.

"That's where you live?"

Li Xintian walked in to take a look, only to find that the room was damp and wet, and the corners were already moldy, and the green mold cloth wall had a pungent smell.

"Well, I live in that house. The little pole pointed to the room inside.
