Li Ling's hand holding the tofu brain trembled slightly, and fear spread in his heart.

If the innkeeper who died in his sleep the night before yesterday was killed by the nightmare in Su Yinxue's mouth, then "Li Ling", who also died in his sleep last night, should also be killed by the nightmare.

Do you kill someone as soon as it gets dark......

But Li Ling can't tell the two senior sisters directly about this clue, and even if he says it at this time, it is not convincing, after all, he is still alive and well.

And what would happen if the murderous nightmare learned that he was not dead? Li Ling didn't dare to think about it, but felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

"Let's go find the official first," Liu Qingyun said to Su Yinxue while settling the bill, "The victim's body is still with them, and the master should also be there, by the way, let her show Ling'er, her face is a little bad." ”

Su Yinxue glanced at Li Ling and said coldly, "It should be that." ”

When Li Ling heard this, he put on a wrinkled face speechlessly, he just looked a little neutral, but he was still a boy in essence!

Leaving the early shop, the three of them walked through the streets and alleys, and many townspeople greeted them along the way, and it seemed that the Chunyangmen people were still quite popular in the town.

The town where Chunyangmen is located is called Daoxiang Town, because it is located at the intersection of trade roads, and there is an endless stream of travelers and traders, so the development of the town over the years is quite good.

However, there are pros and cons to everything, and there are many people in the town, so it is inevitable that there will be a mixture of fish and dragons, and occasionally there will be some traitors. It's better to say that petty theft or something, and the town's officials can handle it properly. But if there is a thorny problem that cannot be solved, the Pure Yang Gate will come forward.

After all, Daoxiang Town is only a small town, so there is no yamen, only two officials responsible for daily patrols and law and order, and a simple tiled house as an office. Liu Qingyun said hello to the officials, and then took Su Yinxue and Li Ling into the tile house.

"You're here. As soon as I entered the door, I heard a soft and delicate woman's voice coming from the back room.

When Li Ling heard the sound, he saw a woman in a pink dress, petite, less than one meter six. The fair and flawless skin is faintly pink, and the pair of crystal eyes are clean and clear, looking at Li Ling vividly, with a lovely and agile face.

Hua Zhiyu, thirty-two years old, is the deputy head of Chunyangmen, and is also the master of Liu Qingyun and Su Yinxue.

The memory of the deputy head in his mind began to gradually revival, although he looked petite and cute, like a porcelain doll, but he did things vigorously. Almost single-handedly, he supported the Pure Yang Gate, which is now a little down. Now the affairs of the door are basically handled by this deputy head.

"Master, how is the situation?" asked Liu Qingyun as he glanced at the body of the inn boy on the bed.

"It's not obscure or witchcraft," the deputy head sighed, his face full of exhaustion, "I've stayed up all night for an autopsy, but I can't see the murderous methods of this nightmare." The deceased had no trauma or pain, and died as if a septuagenarian had died. ”

Liu Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that he was poisoned?"

"I've checked, and there are no signs of poisoning," Hua Zhiyu grimaced, "Not only that, but I can't even deduce the murderer's motive for killing." After speaking, Hua Zhiyu picked up a few pieces of straw paper from the table and handed them to the three of them, "This is the transcript of Shopkeeper He and Chef Wang of Yuelai Inn, you can take a look." ”

Li Ling can be said to be the most eager to know the truth among all of them, so he took the transcript and read it carefully.

The deceased's name is Zhou Xiaoping, a native of Daoxiang Town, whose parents died in an accident when he was a teenager, and has been following his sister Zhou Xiaoguo for his life since then. Cheerful and clever, not only kind by nature but also warm-hearted, Shopkeeper He and Chef Wang both like this little guy. On weekdays, Zhou Xiaoping never acts as evil to others, and he is very popular in Daoxiang Town, so it is impossible to have any enemies.

Li Ling can be regarded as understanding Hua Zhiyu's distress now, it stands to reason that the murderer has no motive to kill at all, who would kill an ordinary inn guy?

Seeing that there was no progress in the case, Liu Qingyun said to Hua Zhiyu: "Master, Ling'er's face doesn't seem to be very good, you can show him." ”

"Well, good. "Hua Zhiyu really wants to put aside the nightmare mystery in front of him for the time being, and if he thinks about it again, I'm afraid his brain will burn out.

Hua Zhiyu stretched out his hand to pinch the trick, and a pale blue light suddenly flashed in his eyes, swaying like a searchlight.

This was the first time that Li Ling had directly come into contact with extraordinary power since he crossed over, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Uncle Shi, what is this trick called?"

Seeing Li Ling's curiosity, Hua Zhiyu smiled coquettishly, winked at him and said, "This trick is called Tianyin View, you can see through it~"

"Can you see through?!" Li Ling smiled after hearing this, and somehow seemed a little obscene.

Hua Zhiyu ignored Li Ling's careful thoughts, and used the Tianyin View to carefully probe Li Ling's physical condition. After a few glances, the playful expression on her face gradually disappeared, and she lightly tapped her forehead with her fingers, with an incomprehensible look on her face: "How can this be?"

Li Ling was a little uncomfortable stared at by her, so he took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong with me?"

The light in Hua Zhiyu's eyes faded, and he said in confusion: "You should ...... I'm already dead. ”

When Li Ling heard this, his heart was shocked, and the exclamation was on his lips, and he closed his lips tightly, for fear of revealing some.

"Your Purple Mansion is empty, all your cultivation is gone, and it stands to reason that you can't still be alive. Hua Zhiyu said.

"All the Zixia Qi in his body has disappeared, just like an ordinary person who has not practiced the Zixia Heart Method," Hua Zhiyu frowned.

"He was fine yesterday, but he lost his cultivation overnight. Su Yinxue suddenly raised her head and said, "You say, will there be any connection between these two things?"

"Ling'er, did you feel anything unusual last night?" asked Liu Qingyun.

Li Ling nodded and said, "Last night, I felt a little unwell and couldn't wake up. He intercepted his own rebirth through time, and only said the last memory of this world before the death of "Li Ling".

"It's all harming others in their sleep, it should be the same person," Hua Zhiyu rubbed his eyebrows and analyzed, "But why didn't you take Ling'er's life, only Xiuwei?"

"But if you can take away Ling'er's cultivation, you should not be an ordinary person. Liu Qingyun said.

"It's an evil cultivator," Hua Zhiyu suddenly raised his head, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, "Qingyun, Yin Xue, you guys are going to investigate all over the town, and once you find a suspicious person, come and notify me immediately." ”

"Yes. Liu Qingyun and Su Yinxue nodded in unison.

Li Ling pointed to himself and asked, "Uncle Shi, what about me?"

Hua Zhiyu stood on tiptoe, stretched out his hand and knocked on Li Ling's head and said, "If Xiuwei is taken away, stay honest, and I will take you back to Chunyang Gate." ”

Li Ling scratched his head: "No need, I know the way back." ”

Hua Zhiyu glared and said, "You should be cultivating the cabbage you planted, and it doesn't matter to you if someone takes it away?"

Li Ling laughed dryly twice: "No...... Or else?"

"Although I don't know the means by which the Nightmare seized the cultivation, the spiritual power flows out against the current, causing a lot of damage to your spiritual veins, understand? If you leave it alone, you may really die. Hua Zhiyuhao's wrist trembled slightly, and a jade short sword appeared in her hand, "I will pass the book to your master, and you will return to Chunyang Gate with me." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Li Ling to reply, he pulled him out of the tiled house, looked at the two officials guarding the door, pondered for a moment and said: "The corpse has been experienced, you can help him to put him in the ground, and if the burial expenses are paid, the shopkeeper He will bear the funeral expenses." As for the murderer, within three days, my Pure Yang Sect will definitely give you an explanation. ”

The two officials looked at each other, and the slightly older one arched his hand and said: "Where is the flower fairy, thanks to the blessing of the Pure Yang Gate in the past few years, Daoxiang Town has been able to be safe, and these little things are wrapped up in us." ”

Hua Zhiyu nodded, pinched a trick, and the jade short sword in his hand flew out of his hand and headed towards the sky: "Please pay more attention to the two of you these days, if you find any suspicious characters, just inform us as soon as possible." ”

"Definitely, definitely. The official hurriedly said.

Hua Zhiyu tilted his head and thought for a while, and said to Li Ling: "It will take a while for your master to come back, let's go to Zhou Xiaoping's house to have a look first, and ask his sister if she has any other distant relatives, if there is nowhere to settle, you can accept her into the Pure Yang Gate." ”

"It's really time to expand the scale of the sect......" Li Ling complained in a low voice, the Pure Yang Sect is really too down, and there are only five people counting the head and deputy heads.

Zhou Xiaoping's home was on the outskirts of town, and it didn't take much effort for the two to find it. Hua Zhiyu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and saw the appearance of the person behind the door, but she was stunned, the person who opened the door was actually He Donglai and He Shopkeeper of Yuelai Inn.

Shopkeeper He was dressed in a brown robe, with a pair of round-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and he was also a little surprised to see Hua Zhiyu and Li Ling: "The two immortal chiefs are here to investigate the case?"

Hua Zhiyu shook her head and said, "I'm here for Zhou Xiaoguo, and I want to ask her if she has any distant relatives she knows." ”

Shopkeeper He sighed and said, "I'm also here for this, Xiaoping is a good boy, but he was harmed by an unwarranted disaster, and only Xiaoguo was left alone." As for distant relatives, even if there were, she couldn't remember. ”

Hua Zhiyu bowed slightly and said, "Since this is the case, let Xiaoguo worship in the Pure Yang Gate." ”

Shopkeeper He was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "The flower fairy has a good heart! After Xiaoping's death, I have been worrying about how to place Xiaoguo, she is still young, and she has no relatives, if the fairy chief is willing to accept her, it is really good." Wait a minute, I'll call her. ”

After speaking, Shopkeeper He walked into the inner room and took out a six or seven-year-old little girl, dressed in a goose-yellow short jacket, with a dirty face, holding a cloth tiger in her hand, and looking at Hua Zhiyu and Li Ling with bright big eyes.
