A black shadow swept over the roof, and the two of them went up to the house with light skills, and the black shadow had run dozens of feet away and escaped into the rows of streets and alleys.

Xiao and Li returned to the place where Lou Yuanshan was lying on the ground, only to see that Lou Yuanshan's face was bloodless, his whole body shrunk into a ball, and he had died of exhaustion. Li Chengcheng was about to investigate, but was stopped by Xiao Jinyan, "Poisonous." ”

The nine-life tanuki does not have nine lives.

So Lou Yuanshan died.

Xiao Jinyan saw that his death was similar to that of Li Laosan, Tianma Dart Bureau and others, all of whom died of a strange poison, and he was interrupted just after a little clue, which made him very unhappy.

Of course, it is not for nothing, at least it is known who the murderer is. However, it is still a little worthless to exchange Lou Yuanshan's life for such news.

Li Chengcheng said: "I think it's strange, I've heard of the Tantric Living Buddha Kapa, but I've never heard of him having a younger brother named the Western Regions Corpse Demon. ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "This so-called corpse demon of the Western Regions should be a nickname given to him by the people of the Central Plains, just like the people of Chu, they will not call themselves Western Chu, but Great Chu, the states of the Western Regions, and they will not really become the Western Regions, he should have another name." ”

"What do you think of that person's martial arts?"

Xiao Jinyan analyzed, "If it is a big picture realm like Chu Crazy Dao and Li Qiuyi, you can kill people as you want, and you won't show any signs at all, but when that person was murderous just now, I smelled blood. However, his light skills are indeed not ordinary. ”

Li Tingcheng nodded, "I also sensed it." ”

Xiao Jinyan found a tree branch and turned it over Lou Yuanshan for a moment, there was a thin black spot on his neck, if he didn't look closely, he really couldn't see any clues.

Li Chengcheng took out a silver needle from his sleeve and inserted it into the black spot on Lou Yuanshan's neck, and suddenly, the entire silver needle turned jet black, and then, the tail of the silver needle began to tremble slightly, as if something was moving in Lou Yuanshan's body.

After a while, a black worm the size of a grain of rice crawled out along the silver needle, and the back of the worm was hard, as if it had worn stone armor, and it looked a little clumsy.

Li Chengcheng Cao took out another amber bottle and put the stone beetle into the bottle, the stone beetle looked a little irritable and hit the amber bottle frantically. Xiao Jinyan was stunned, "What kind of poison is this?"

Li Chengcheng shook his head, "I remember reading in ancient books that a strange insect is produced in the Western Regions, which is highly poisonous and bloodthirsty, and people can die when they touch it, but I have never heard that it can turn human bones into nothing. Li Qiuyi is from Yinyang, we can ask him. ”

......

Li family wine shop.

After the liquor store closed down, Li Ergou had nothing to do. Although it is not open, he still gets up early every day, cleans the yard and storefront, and then carries a stool to drink wine and bask in the sun at the door.

Since a group of strange people came in those days, Li Ergou has often seen people dangling in front of his door these days, he took a broom to catch up, and they immediately walked away, but after a while, they came over again.

Over time, he got used to it.

Although these people don't seem to be good, they are extremely afraid of themselves, and sometimes, even he feels as if he is already a martial arts master.

Xiao Jinyan and Li Chengcheng came to the Li family's wine shop, and Li Ergou was a little dissatisfied, "Xiao Jinyan, why are you here again?"

Li Qiuyi has a lot of opinions about Xiao Jinyan, for so many years, he and the shopkeeper have sold wine in Suzhou City, and they have lived a good life, who expected that after Xiao Jinyan came once, the wine shop closed not to mention, his shopkeeper became a famous master on the rivers and lakes overnight, and inexplicably provoked a strong enemy in Xichu.

What made him even more sad was that Widow Li, who sold vegetables at the head of the village, used to be eye-to-eye, and she didn't come to deliver autumn spinach much recently, and Li Ergou also blamed Xiao Jinyan for this incident.

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "Brother Ergou, you are also in your forties this year, right?"

Li Ergou raised his head, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "You see that you are not too young, and it is time to talk about a daughter-in-law." ”

Li Ergou raised his eyebrows angrily, "You don't want to use this set to cheat you into drinking again, do you?" Tell you, I will never fall for you." ”

Xiao Jinyan said again and again, "It's a pity, it's a pity, two days ago, I saw Aunt Li and mentioned it to her, Aunt Li said......"

When Li Ergou heard this, he hurriedly jumped up from the stool, grabbed Xiao Jinyan, and asked eagerly, "What did Sanniang say?"

Xiao Jinyan deliberately sold Xuanxuan, touched his throat, and said that he was a little thirsty. Li Ergou handed the wine gourd to Xiao Jinyan, "Take a sip of red water wine to moisten your throat, you tell me quickly." ”

Xiao Jinyan took the gourd, drank half of the gourd in one gulp, and then said leisurely: "Aunt Li said, she is almost forty years old, she is old, she is old, it's time to find someone to marry, you know, she used to mix the rivers and lakes, and it is not so easy to find a suitable one." Not long ago, she also said that Mrs. Song came to match her and asked her to remarry to the rich man Li and make a seven-room or eight-room family. ”

Li Ergou jumped like thunder, "You said Li Shancai in the west of the city? That old guy is seventy years old, and he still wants to marry Sanniang!"

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "No, I also persuaded her, saying that although Brother Ergou is a little naïve, he is also the master of life, Sanniang doesn't listen to it, she said that whoever gives her thirty taels of silver as a dowry, she will marry." ”

Li Ergou hurriedly rushed back to the store, rummaged through the cabinets, and after a while, took out a heavy package, sprinkled in a basket, nearly half a basket of copper plates, and a few grains of broken silver.

But he had a bad brain, and he couldn't count it a few times. Xiao Jinyan stepped forward to help, counted it, and even the copper plate with broken silver, converted, a total of twenty-eight hangs and three hundred wen, a difference of more than one or two.

Xiao Jinyan took out the only few taels of silver left, and said that if it is not enough, I will make it up for you first.

Li Ergou shook his head, "I can't use other people's money when I marry a daughter-in-law." Now that the matter is urgent, I will accept it first. But...... Neither will your money be taken for nothing. ”

He took a necklace from his neck, the rope was nothing more than ordinary hemp rope, but the tail pendant was a jade pendant in the shape of a wolf's tooth, the whole body was crystal clear, the size of a copper coin, and some strange words were written on it.

"This jade pendant, I have been carrying it for more than 20 years, and it should be worth some money, so I will bet on you first. When I have money, redeem it. ”

This jade pendant is not ordinary at first glance, Xiao Jinyan feels that this jade pendant seems to be a little familiar, but he can't remember where he has seen it. However, the few men dressed as Hu people not far away looked a little nervous.

Xiao Jinyan pushed the jade pendant back to him and said with a smile, "A gentleman doesn't take people's favor." Over the years, I have also owed you a lot of money, and I know that some of it was paid by you, and this money is not much, so you should pay it back. It's important to get down to business first. ”

Li Ergou turned around and ran, and those Hu people followed closely.

Li Chengcheng looked at his back and said, "Won't your conscience hurt?"

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "I have known about this for a long time, and I have never told him. ”

The two pushed the door in, and Li Qiuyi was already standing in the courtyard waiting for them.

Li Tingcheng gave a gift, although he was arrogant, he still had respect for the golden sword king who dominated the rivers and lakes back then, and Li Qiuyi deserved his gift.

"I didn't want to tell Ergou about Li Sanniang, I don't approve of the matter between them. Li Qiuyi said, "I picked him up from the side of the road back then, and it has been twenty years, and after this battle with Chu Madness, no matter whether I win or lose, I will not be quiet from now on." I hope you can give him a boost if you have the chance. ”

Xiao Jinyan and Li Ergou have known each other for four or five years, although his mind is not clear, but his character has nothing to say, if it were not for Widow Li's leftovers and Li Ergou's credit wine, his life would be much more boring.

"You promise?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded.

Li Qiuyi breathed a sigh of relief. He knows Xiao Jinyan, this kid rarely promises, but once he promises, he will definitely do it. "You two are definitely not here for this, are you?"

Li Chengcheng took out the glass bottle from his arms and handed it to Li Qiuyi, "Senior, we've been in a bit of trouble recently, I wonder if the seniors can recognize this thing?"

Li Qiuyi glanced at it, "Where did you catch it?"

Xiao Jinyan briefly told Li Qiuyi about the two cases that happened in Suzhou City in the past few days, as well as the matter of Lou Yuanshan, and said, "I heard Lou Yuanshan, the nine-life civet cat, say that this stone beetle is the poison of the corpse demon in the Western Regions. The predecessors were well-informed, and they must have known this thing. ”

After hearing this, Li Qiuyi smiled coldly, "This insect is indeed the stone corpse insect of the corpse demon in the Western Regions back then, but the person who drives this insect is obviously not enough to cultivate, if you cultivate to a certain level, the stone corpse insect that you practice is transparent instead of black." What's more, if the corpse demon of the Western Regions came in person, with his heart, the two of you would not be able to live now. ”

The two of them gasped, they couldn't imagine that Li Qiuyi had such a high evaluation of this Western Regions corpse demon.

Li Qiuyi said again, "But even if it's not him, the murderer must be related to him." He asked Li Laosan and the Tianma Dart Bureau again, and said, "I didn't expect that the movement made by Chu Crazy Dao this time was really big enough." ”

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Did the senior say that Chu Maddao found the Western Regions Corpse Demon to be a helper?" ”

Li Qiuyi shook his head, "Then he is not Chu Crazy Knife, although his character is unbearable, but the heart of the Dao of the Sword is extremely pure, the battle between the two of us, let alone the Western Regions Corpse Demon, even if an ordinary person helps him, he will not appreciate it." I'm afraid it's ...... The other party has other plans. He thought for a moment and decided not to tell Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan said, "Since the murderer is sure that he is not a corpse demon in the Western Regions, the next step is to find a way to catch him, and we will not disturb the senior Qing Xiu." ”

Li Qiuyi asked, "Do you know where to arrest him?"

Saying this, the two of them were asked, Xiao Jinyan said, "We are going to let the six doors go to the sea to catch papers, as long as he is in Suzhou City, we will never let him go unpunished." ”

Li Qiuyi said lightly: "The poison of the stone corpse insect was obtained by the corpse demon in the Western Regions from an ancient tomb in the desert, it is extremely poisonous, but it also has a weakness, that is, it has extremely high requirements for the environment, and it must be in an extremely cold place to cultivate. ”

Xiao Jinyan was surprised: "Tianxiang Building?"

Li Chengcheng didn't have a good breath and said, "What do you think? It's a mass grave." ”
