Peony Town, famous for growing peonies.

The town has a population of tens of thousands, and the economy and trade are developed, which is a place to live and work in peace and contentment.

But when Shi Xiaole walked into Peony Town, what he felt was a strange atmosphere where everyone was in danger.

Some pedestrians are in a hurry, and some are in groups, whispering something. With Shi Xiaole's ears, he could easily hear that these townspeople were talking about the recent mysterious murderer.

"A few days ago, nearby Songshan sent disciples to Peony Mountain, and I heard that out of thirteen disciples, twelve died, and the remaining one became a madman. Later, the head of the Songshan faction personally intervened, but the result was nowhere to be found, and a few days later, the upper half of the body was found. ”

"Not only the Songshan faction, during this time, many masters of the rivers and lakes have been here, but the dead are dead, and the missing are missing. Alas, it must be that the peony girl is unwilling to be wronged back then, and turns into a ghost to take revenge on us. ”

When he heard this, Shi Xiaole found that many townspeople had a look of horror on their faces, and hurriedly scattered away, as if they were avoiding a taboo.

Looking for a good inn, Shi Xiaole began to wander around the town, inquiring about some more accurate news by the way.

Before coming, he had already learned from the information given by the Anti-Demon League that about twenty years ago, there was a famous burning incident in Peony Town.

It is said that a woman was contaminated with evil things and brought bad luck to the town, so under the leadership of Li Zheng and several squires, the townspeople tied the woman to Peony Mountain and burned her with fire to pray to the heavens.

However, even with the burning of the Peony Girl, strange events in the town continue to occur intermittently, and it is only in the last decade that they have subsided.

Unexpectedly, in the past six months, there have been deaths again, and the tragic appearance of the deceased is exactly the same as the appearance of the Peony Girl before she was burned, and she was divided by several townspeople!

"Childe, what's the matter with you?"

After several inquiries, Shi Xiaole found a large courtyard, and the door was opened by a strong man.

"This big brother, I don't know if Darren Dairi is there?"

Shi Xiaole smiled gently.

Dai Lun, who was in Peony Town twenty years ago, was also one of the masterminds who burned the Peony Girl.

The sturdy man looked at Shi Xiaole, saw that he was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a sven look on his face, said a word, waited, closed the door, and only after about a quarter of an hour did he reopen the door and take Shi Xiaole inside.

In the courtyard, an old man was sitting on a stone chair, his cloudy eyes exuding a trace of sharp light, and said, "Is the young man also here to eliminate the harm in Peony Town?"

Dai Lun has seen a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, and some young heroes are dressed like Shi Xiaole.

"How can the old man teach me?"

"There are no ghosts in this world, not to mention that woman is also innocent of death!" The old man guessed that there should be someone who deliberately created panic. ”

"Can the old man tell all the things of the past so that he can prescribe the right medicine. ”

After speaking, Shi Xiaole lightly clicked, and a finger hole suddenly appeared on the wall ten zhang away.

Daeron's eyes shrank suddenly.

In the past six months, there have been many martial arts masters who have asked him for news, but none of them have such terrifying skills as Shi Xiaole.

It's normal to think about it, although there are more masters of the Longguan Realm in Xuanwu Prefecture than in other places in Shuntiandu, but Xuanwu Prefecture itself has a vast territory, which is larger than the eight states combined.

Not to mention a small place like Peony Town, the news is not smooth, and even fewer people know about it.

"That woman was the most beautiful person in the town, but for some reason, suddenly one day she became a monster, covered in long hair, with sharp teeth, and a strange smell all over her body, and even her skin was glowing with green oil, and she bit at sight. ”

Thinking of some secrets in the past, Dai Lun's wrinkled old face was full of panic and anger, and said: "Originally, the night market in Peony Town was very prosperous, but because of that woman, every night, someone was bitten and injured. ”

In order to prevent the situation from spreading, the old man had to negotiate with some local people and secretly arrested the woman and eliminated her to reassure the people. ”

Green-haired monsters?

Shi Xiaole frowned slightly.

But the old man never expected that not long after, a small half of those who had been bitten by the peony girl would also become monsters. As a last resort, the old man secretly consulted with others and secretly killed those people. But because of the large number of people, it was not announced, only that they disappeared mysteriously. ”

Shi Xiaole asked: "The old man said before, someone is playing tricks, could it be that you have the object of suspicion?"

Dai Lun glanced at Shi Xiaole, with a horror that he couldn't hide: "Of all the people who turned into monsters back then, one of them escaped from the trap and was not killed!"

Two quarters of an hour later, Shi Xiaole left the compound and went straight to the vicinity of a manor covered with white cloth.

The owner of the manor was a powerful squire in Peony Town, and one of the masterminds of the murder of the Peony Maiden, but just a few days earlier, the squire had died in his home and his neck had been bitten off by his life.

Sneaking into the place where the coffin was kept, Shi Xiaole released his spiritual power, and soon after, in a corner, he found a few fallen green hairs, and when he sniffed it, there was a smell of burnt plastic.

"Is there really a monster in this world?"

Shi Xiaole didn't think that Daren was lying to himself, but what was it that could make people become green-haired monsters in the other party's mouth, could it be ......

Thinking of a possibility, Shi Xiaole secretly clenched the green hair in his hand and quietly left the manor.

In the next few days, he walked through the streets and alleys of Peony Town, sometimes went to Peony Mountain, and even walked to the place where the Peony Girl was burned in the past.

There are piles of weeds, and within a few steps you can see poisonous snakes circling, unusually cold and desolate. A few times, Shi Xiaole seemed to hear strange cries in the distance, but when he took a closer look, he didn't find anything.

At night, Shi Xiaole would hide near Dai Lun's house.

The only survivor is here for revenge, and he will definitely kill the biggest mastermind, Rizheng Darren.

This night.

Shi Xiaole hid himself as usual, and suddenly his nose moved, and he smelled a faint smell of burnt plastic.

Sou!

The wind god cast his legs, and he was like a shadow in the night, speeding towards the place where the smell came from.

At the same time, a monster with green hair and an indistinct appearance was leaping into the courtyard and rushing towards the room where Daeron was, his face hideous.

Laugh at!

A sword light lit up in the night sky and slashed at the green-haired monster.

In the splashing sparks, the green-haired monster smashed the courtyard gate behind him, and knocked out a big hole in the street wall, and when he got up again, his eyes were miserable, and he opened his mouth to pounce on Shi Xiaole.

The void flashed green.

The speed of the green-haired monster was very fast, almost catching up with the ninefold master of the Lingguan Realm, no wonder many Jianghu guests came and died innocently.

A breeze stabbed out, and the green-haired monster flew back again.

What surprised Shi Xiaole was that he used a sword with seven powers, but it was actually just a three-inch-deep dent on the green-haired monster's body, and no blood flowed out.

"Monster, sure enough, it's him, sure enough, it's him. ”

The movement here woke up Daren and his son, who had been on guard, and Daren stood at the door with his son's support on his face: "Twenty years ago, his strength and speed were only a little stronger than ordinary people, far less than now. ”

Roar!

With a roar in the sky, the speed of the green-haired monster skyrocketed again, shooting at Shi Xiaole like a rocket launcher, with sharp teeth like a cold knife.

Raised his right arm high and slashed hard, this time Shi Xiaole used ten percent of his strength, and the sword was like a cyan crescent moon, polishing the darkness in the courtyard.

A strange puddle of green and red blood spilled.

The green-haired monster screamed in unison, and suddenly opened its mouth to spew out a cloud of green gas that smelled of diesel.

Before it arrived, Shi Xiaole clearly felt that the blood all over his body, his muscles and bones were trembling, as if something was about to change. Fortunately, this force is not strong, and it was directly shattered by the Wuxiang Gangqi.

"Ah......h

A scream sounded behind him, Daeron's face turned green, his claws and teeth became longer, and he began to transform into a green-haired monster, and after a blink of an eye, he suddenly trembled all over his body, and directly exploded into a blood clot.

On the other hand, the son of Daeron on the side, probably because he was strong and strong, and because he was far away from the green gas, his face turned blue and he fainted to the ground.

After spraying a cloud of green gas, the spirit of the green-haired monster weakened a lot, and it turned around and ran out.

Burst!

Shi Xiaole's third sword slashed out, and this time it directly left a deep blood mark on the opponent's chest, and even Sen Bai's bone stubble could be seen clearly.

The green-haired monster gradually faded, and the green-haired monster began to regain its human form, and it was actually a good-looking young man, who turned his head to Shi Xiaole and said, "You have a good skill, but you are a tiger." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Hahaha, do you think that Daeron and those old horsemen are good people? After Peony was arrested that day and restored to her original state, those brutes said that they wanted to have a good time, and took turns to abuse her! After that, they brutally dismembered her body, but secretly collected her blood, saying that they would take it back for study. ”

The young man vomited blood, with a hint of mockery: "Daren must not have told you that hundreds of years ago, there were green-haired monsters in Peony Town, right? Hahaha, only a few heirs of the noble clan know that the green-haired monsters are strange, but they are suspected of being immortal!

Shi Xiaole's face changed again and again.

He had already learned from Daeron that the only survivor that year, the young man in front of him, was the son of the squire who had been killed a few days earlier.

In his capacity, it is very likely that he knows some inside information.

"I killed someone, but the people I killed were all people who should be killed, and I never implicated innocents!"

The young man Wang Heng was righteous, and looked at Shi Xiaole: "If you don't believe it, you can ask Dai Lun's son, he should know what those old puppets have done over the years." ”

Shi Xiaole was about to speak, but suddenly retreated quickly.

In the night, a white light flashed. When he disappeared, Wang Heng's shadow had already disappeared in place.
