"You mean, the demon was the one who did this case?"

Qiu Yanming's expression changed.

He knew about the fact that the government asked Bai Jiandong for help, and it was because of this that he understood the seriousness of this matter.

Since the demon plagued Xizhou, Xizhou City and its subordinate towns and villages have been killed one after another, and now the number of casualties is no less than 100, and what is even more terrifying is that no one has discovered the true identity of the demon so far.

If this case was really committed by the demon, then the nature of this matter would be different!

Today is the Zhudong Gang victims.

And what about tomorrow? Could it be the Zhuxi Gang?

No one knows what that demon will do!

Liu Yun said in a deep voice: "Judging from the signs of the deceased's poisoning, there should be no mistake. ”

Next, Liu Yun told Qiu Yanming about the poisoning and murder case that happened not long ago.

Qiu Yanming is the lord of a city, and he naturally doesn't know everything. After hearing this, his face became even heavier.

"Are you telling the truth?"

The old city guard looked solemn, although he confirmed it again, in fact, he was already convinced of Liu Yun's judgment.

As for the rumors about the Desperate Miracle Doctor, if he believed it, he would have guarded the city of Xizhou for decades.

Liu Yun nodded, "It's true!"

Qiu Yanming has been a Xizhou city guard for decades, so he naturally knows which is more important, and after listening to Liu Yun's words, he immediately decided: "Since this is the case, this case will be handed over to you to investigate together, and at the same time, I will dispatch all the forces in Xizhou City to fully cooperate with you." ”

When the old man said this, he suddenly paused and solemnly admonished: "This matter is very important, and it is closely related to the safety of my Xizhou. Remember, you must find the murderer as soon as possible!"

Liu Yun and the three of them said loudly as if receiving a military order: "We must do our best." ”

After sending Liu Yun and the others away, Qiu Yanming looked at the corpses that were almost full of the courtyard, and his face gradually sank.

The demon who troubled Xizhou was also a master of poison.

This is like a cancer that has begun to attack, if this demon is allowed to continue, the good situation that Xizhou City has been developed by him in a few years will be gone forever, and this is something that he, the lord of a city, will never allow to happen.

Originally, such a major incident that had already involved the safety of Xizhou should have been personally handled by him. But now that he is old, he really doesn't have the energy to do these things anymore.

Besides, he has to meet a very important big person later, and he really can't spare time.

Jieshui City, Wooden Sword Martial Arts Hall.

The energy wandered, and the sword light swept through.

Between the swing of the wooden knife, there are knife techniques one after another, which is very exquisite.

Meng Li tossed and turned in the courtyard of the martial arts hall, practicing the latest practice of the Hundred Broken Sword Technique.

At this time, Xie Xiaoming was standing not far from Meng Li, his fists clenched, and he looked at Meng Li excitedly.

Whenever he saw the highlights, he couldn't help but shout, as if he was the one who practiced the knife technique.

After all, the Hundred Broken Knife Method is a second-grade knife method, and he even wants to learn it in his dreams!

After Meng Li finished practicing the knife, he put the wooden knife into the scabbard.

Seeing this scene, Xie Xiaoming wrung out a hot towel from the hot water that had been prepared a long time ago, pinned his hands on it, and handed it over respectfully.

Meng Li took the towel and wiped the mud and sweat from his face.

Xie Xiaoming said eagerly: "Teacher, when will I be able to learn this Hundred Broken Sword Technique?"

"If you want to learn the Hundred Broken Knife Technique, let's practice your basic Knife Technique first!"

Meng Li laughed and threw the towel to Xie Xiaoming.

After all, the Hundred Broken Knife Method is a second-grade knife method carefully compiled by the imperial court, and even before the integration of the jade plate, none of the hundred sword techniques can be easily learned.

The reason why he himself was able to integrate it in just a few days and a solid foundation of knife skills played a vital role.

In Meng Li's view, the knife breaking method is not difficult to learn, but the difficulty is the combination of knife style and strength.

In particular, the three-style knife method integrated by the jade plate involves the use of true meaning.

With Xie Xiaoming's current sword skill realm, there is still a gap of 108,000 miles.

After going around the courtyard and telling everyone to work hard to cultivate, Meng Li returned to the study.

At this time, on the innermost table in the study, there were dry talisman supplies such as rune paper and rune liquid.

His study hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and it was a mess. Discarded rune paper can be seen everywhere.

As Meng Li began to learn talisman making, this study became a forbidden place in the martial arts hall, and except for Wang Ergou, no one else was allowed to step in.

Before, the Luo family sisters saw that the study was too messy, so they couldn't help but come in to clean it, but they were scolded by Meng Li, who was furious, so that they still had palpitations when they saw Meng Li now.

Meng Li came to the desk and sat down, looking at the discarded rune paper all over the ground, and smiled helplessly.

Ming Xuan and Du Mu said before that they wanted to find him a talisman teacher, but after so many days, why is there still no movement?

In the past few days, Meng Li has been trying to make talismans while practicing the Hundred Broken Sword Technique.

Compared with the smooth sailing of practicing swordsmanship, the process of making talismans was bumpy.

This can be seen from the talismans on the ground.

In just a few days, Meng Li has failed to make thousands of talismans.

Needless to say, the money spent, and the successive failed blows are even more terrifying.

After all, he hasn't succeeded in a single one.

"Something must have gone wrong. ”

Meng Li knew very well that such an inefficient chance of becoming a talisman could never be a normal phenomenon in making talismans.

It's like the way of luck in the knife technique, after making a mistake, even if you practice diligently, it won't help.

For Fu Zheng, Meng Li originally had a shallow attitude, but with repeated failures, his blood was aroused.

Now, even if it doesn't work, it's okay!

Taking a deep breath, the boy took out a fifth-grade yellow talisman again.

There are ready-made talismans and brushes on the table.

He picked up the pen, swallowed the silky belly of the pen with the rune liquid, and carefully drew it on the rune paper.

One stroke through, from top to bottom.

The power of the pen moves from shallow to deep, and then from deep to shallow, and with the flow of the pen, the true qi is also conveyed in an extremely smooth rhythm.

From the beginning of the pen to the end of the pen, the spirit patterns that need to be drawn on the rune paper are completed in one go, and everything is so perfect that you can't find the slightest flaw.

However, even this perfect talisman did not react at all when it was stimulated by true qi.

Putting down the talisman he had just made, Meng Li lay down on the chair in despair.

As it turned out, he failed once again.

Wang Ergou came from outside the door, and when he saw Meng Li's loveless appearance, he was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

"I want to be quiet!"

"Quietly?" Wang Ergou twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Then I'll let Du Mu go back first?"

"Du Mu is here?"

Hearing that Du Mu was coming, Meng Li suddenly came to his senses, and suddenly got up and said, "Did he say what he was doing?"

"He said he was going to take you to apprenticeship. ”

Wang Ergou said this, even he felt helpless.

Meng Li learned talisman making, this is nothing, after all, for the martial arts hall, the talisman is also an extremely important strategic resource, if there is a talisman maker in the martial arts hall, it will be of great benefit to the future development.

But Meng Li's way of learning talismans is obviously abnormal, and he can't make talismans, not to mention, but he still drills the tip of the horns, so now, he doesn't even care much about the affairs of the martial arts hall.

But then again, he hadn't taken much care of the affairs of the martial arts hall in the first place.

"Great!"

Meng Li burst out laughing, and the next moment he had already rushed out of the study and ran towards the courtyard.

Day and night, when he was almost about to collapse by the talisman, his savior finally came.

In the courtyard, Du Mu was admiring the practice of martial arts.

At the same time, don't forget to make comments.

But his personality is too direct, and he is notoriously poisonous. There were two students with a humble mentality, their eyes were red, and they were almost about to cry when he said it.

When Meng Li saw this scene, he couldn't cry or laugh, and before he could say anything to appease him, he was pulled out of the door by Du Mu.

Outside the gate of the martial arts hall, a carriage was parked at this time.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted to allow a glimpse of what was going on inside the carriage. At this time, a middle-aged beautiful woman was sitting in the carriage.

Seeing the middle-aged beauty, Meng Li was stunned for a moment.

He had some impressions of this woman, he had seen it once from afar at the venue of the martial arts assessment, it was the wife of the head of the Cloud Sword Sect, Du Mu's biological mother, Bai Shuang.

"Meet Auntie!"

Seeing the elders, Meng Li naturally would not be indifferent, and stretched out his hands to salute.

"No need to be polite!"

Madame Bai smiled slightly and looked at Meng Li.

The young man was emaciated, his skin was dark, the wooden knife was pinned to his waist, and his every move was clean and neat, and he was a young man full of spirit.

Bai Shuang was very impressed by Meng Li, and at the beginning, in the martial arts assessment, he killed Han Fei with the Five Forging Realm, which caused quite a stir. can be regarded as a proud character of the sky.

In this teenager, she sees infinite possibilities, but also infinite crises.

In front of the public, killing the disciples of the Seven Star Sect was simply a great shame for the Seven Star Sect.

Regardless of whether there is a contract of life and death, the Seven Star Sect will find a way to get rid of this young man. In this case, many people will also choose to fall into the well.

What happened now had confirmed her judgment, if it weren't for that, how could someone with such a talent be distracted by martial arts?

Meng Li looked left and right, leaned over to Du Mu's side, and asked in a low voice, "Mu, where is the teacher you are talking about?"

Du Mu said: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you. ”

"Huh?" Meng Li didn't understand, and was about to ask again, but he saw Du Mu's strange gaze, followed this gaze, and when he saw the woman sitting in the carriage, he suddenly understood.

"You and Mingxuan are going to introduce me to Lingtang, right?"

Meng Li was a little square, thinking left and right, but he didn't expect such a result.

"Why, am I not qualified to be your talisman teacher?"

"The seniors misunderstood, Meng Li didn't mean that!"

Du Mu explained: "Brother Meng Li, my mother's talisman making level is ranked first in our Cloud Sword Sect, and many of the senior brothers in the Cloud Sword Sect were trained by my mother. ”

He accentuated his tone on the word "training", which made Meng Li shudder.

Bai Shuang glared at Du Mu and said, "I'm really strict in teaching my disciples, if you're afraid, it's too late to regret it now." ”

Afraid?

Isn't that a joke?

No matter how strict it is, it can be much stricter than Yan Xingguan?

When Yan Xingguan taught Meng Li's knife technique, he practiced the knife 10,000 times on the first day, and it was like this every day, without a day off.

Meng Li didn't believe that the woman in front of him could be stricter than his martial arts master.

"Meng Li visited the teacher. ”

Regardless of whether the other party's words stimulated his thoughts or not, this talisman teacher, he made up his mind today.
