The corners of Li Xiumei's mouth were slightly hooked, and her eyes were so sharp that they scraped back and forth on Liu Cripple's body like a knife, almost scraping two blood marks before she spoke again: "Very good, I think you have started to cooperate." Next, keep it up. ”

Liu lame wiped a handful of non-existent cold sweat, nodded and bowed: "Definitely, definitely!"

Li Xiumei smiled and raided coldly: "A few days ago, who did you tell this news to?"

"Huh?" Liu Cripple showed a blank expression.

Li Xiumei looked very dissatisfied: "Don't pretend to be confused for me, I just praised you for knowing how to cooperate, and now you are pretending to be confused again?"

"I really don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"I mean, who else did you tell Professor Wang about buying the White Jade Tiger Jade?"

Liu lame said righteously: "Am I the kind of person who sells the privacy of customers?"

"You are," Li Xiumei said seriously, "for the sake of money, you can sell anything." ”

The corners of Liu's mouth twitched, with a heartbroken expression: "Officer Li, we have also dealt with each other several times, in your mind, I am such a person?"

Li Xiumei smiled coldly: "Don't divert the topic! Tell me, who else are you going to tell?"

Liu lame tilted his head to the side angrily.

Xiang Yong smiled at this time and said, "Officer Li, is there a place to sell mercury near here?"

Without waiting for Li Xiumei to answer, Liu Cripple had already responded: "Of course there is." What do you want that thing for?"

Xiang Yong looked at him and smiled maliciously: "I've heard of a way to play, it's quite interesting." They bury a man in the earth, and then make a small cut in the top of his head and pour mercury into it. After a while, the man would get tired of it and begin to struggle violently, and if he had enough strength, he would eventually be able to break free from the dirt, but he would leave a whole skin behind. Do you think it's fun?"

Liu lame shuddered, and reluctantly smiled: "It sounds terrifying, it's not fun, it's not fun!"

Xiang Yong smiled and said, "I think it's quite fun, I want to find someone to try it now." A whole human skin! It's worth collecting. ”

Liu lame slapped his thigh: "I remember! A few days ago, someone asked me about the whereabouts of the white jade tiger Yubi. They came to the door, took the portrait of the white jade tiger and jade, and asked me directly who I had sold this thing to. That's a few people from the rivers and lakes, how dare I provoke the people with my little body? In the end, I had to tell them all. ”

Main quest progress: 30/100.

Li Xiumei stared into his eyes and asked, "How many people are there, and what are the characteristics of each?"

"Three, three people, two men and one woman. The dress is very ordinary and uncharacteristic. The female is particularly beautiful, she should be less than 30 years old, she is a congenital martial artist, and the male is ...... I didn't pay attention to the man. ”

Seeing that Li Xiumei's expression was not good, Liu Cripple hurriedly added: "By the way, they always give people a ghostly feeling." Also, there was a man who accidentally lifted his coat while walking, and I saw a pattern embroidered on his inner clothes. ”

"Draw it. ”

Liu lame frowned, picked up a pen and paper, and quickly sketched a simple pattern.

His painting skills are not very good, and he is 108,000 miles away from his instrumental playing skills. But everyone can still see that they are a few strange-shaped people, ghostly.

Li Xiumei pondered for a while, got up and said, "If they come to you again, tell me immediately." ”

Liu lame nodded again and again: "Definitely, definitely." ”

Li Xiumei turned around and left, took two steps and suddenly turned around, staring at Liu Cripple's eyes: "What's so special about that piece of jade?"

"A special place?" Liu Cripple's eyes were confused, "It's just that the material is better, the workmanship is exquisite, and it is a very suitable antique for collection." ”

"Where did you get that?"

"Received it from a grave robber. Liu lame said with a sad face.

Li Xiumei nodded, this time she really left without looking back.

Xiang Yong and the others followed Li Xiumei out. When he got to the street, Xiang Yong whispered, "What do you remember?"

"Hyakki Night Gate. ”

As soon as the words fell, an indifferent and grand voice sounded in the minds of Xiang Yong and the others: "The progress of the main quest is 50/100." ”

"What kind of sect is this?" asked Xiang Yong if he didn't understand.

Li Xiumei frowned lightly, "A very strange sect, they believe that after death, the soul will not dissipate immediately, and under certain conditions, a 'ghost' will be born." And they can manipulate these ghosts and do all kinds of unbelievable things. This sect is very cruel, there are several massacres related to them, the empire has taken action against them many times, and now they have abandoned the sect and moved into full underground activities. ”

Xiang Yong thoughtfully.

"When a person dies, the soul does not dissipate immediately" is both right and wrong.

In other words, when certain conditions are met, they are right, and in most cases, they are wrong.

There is a well-known common sense in the cultivation world: the soul can be immortal if the spirit is strong enough.

Even if an immortal falls, his soul will not dissipate, but will become a ghost immortal.

After the fall of the real person in the Jindan Realm, the soul can continue to exist for about a month, and if it cannot be taken away within a month, or if the great power is asked to reshape the body, the soul will gradually dissipate.

As for ordinary people, their souls are too fragile to be blown away by a gust of wind.

Of course, the situation of each world is different, and it may be that in the special circumstances of this world, the soul can exist for a little longer.

"Since they value this white jade tiger jade bi so much, it is likely that this jade bi has some kind of strange characteristics that can help them better control the 'ghost'. Li Xiumei continued to analyze, but when she said this, she shook her head vigorously, "I still can't believe that there are 'ghosts' in this world." ”

"What do we do next?" asked Xiang Yong.

Li Xiumei thought for a while: "I'll go to my informant first to see if anyone knows the traces of the disciples of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Sect." You are free to do as you please, waiting for my notification. ”

"How do we get in touch?"

Li Xiumei smiled: "I have an informant at the Youlu Hotel. All you have to do is get back to the hotel, and I'll find out right away. ”

"Then let's take our leave," Xiang Yong said, "We may go and visit the 'Heaven Covering Hand' Sheng Du Daxia." ”

"Good. Li Xiumei simply turned around and got into the carriage.

Seeing the carriage walking away, Xiang Yong proposed: "Let's find a place to have lunch first, and then go to Sheng Du's house." ”

Chen Beixuan rubbed his hands excitedly: "Side mission, we are coming!"

Fan Xiaoyue is not so optimistic: "Side quests are not so easy to do. Let's do what we can, it's not worth giving away our lives for that point!"

Li Zhiping disagreed with her: "If we conservatively only do the main quest every time, when will we become stronger?" I specially found a few infinite stream novels to read, if we don't get stronger fast enough, we will soon be eliminated after the difficulty of the main god's task increases. ”

"A novel is a novel, reality is a reality, and it should not be mixed up. Fan Xiaoyue retorted.

She looked at Yeruri, hoping to find an ally for herself.

But Ye Ruri shook her head and said simply, "I listen to the captain." ”

Xiang Yong smiled and said, "Xiaoyue, I know that you are not against doing side quests, and you are also eager to become stronger. You just wish we were more cautious. Don't worry, I'm not going to joke with everyone's lives. However, you also have to be mentally prepared, the gain is always proportional to the effort, we want to become stronger quickly, if we want to live in this game of the main god, we have to put it to death and then live, wandering on the edge of life and death. ”

"Once you enter samsara, there is no such thing as absolute security. Can you understand?"

Fan Xiaoyue sighed softly. "I understand. ”
