Chapter 40: The Murderer
Zhuang replied honestly: "The date will be within sixty days, if you count it, it is very close now, and it is estimated that it will be in these few days." As for what calamity, how many people will die...... The Brass Flask had previously pointed us to three places. ”
In the first place, torrential rains eventually caused flash floods, burying half of the county town with mud and rocks, and killing more than 3,000 people.
The second place was the earthquake, and even the funeral shops of Zhuang Buzhou and Song Gongjin were destroyed, killing more than 700 people.
In the third place, there was a fire that killed more than 300 people, and the dead were so miserable that they were all charred by the fire......
After speaking, Zhuang Buzhou stomped his feet almost angrily, and muttered: "The first time the dead were buried and couldn't dig up, the second time my coffin shop collapsed, and the third time the dead were unrecognizable, and the bitter master couldn't identify his relatives...... If it hasn't opened three times, the little capital left by Master will almost cost us both of us!"
The three catastrophes are different, and the number of casualties is not related at all, so it is impossible to infer that there will be any catastrophe in Tongchuan.
After saying the thing, Zhuang Buzhou smiled bitterly and left, the two of them only learned the method of raising ghosts from the master, but they didn't know the ability to catch ghosts, this copper bottle used to raise ghosts was of no use to them, and it was a bane to stay around, so they simply gave it to Liang Xin.
The old cat stayed here for the night and went to sleep in the backyard.
After everything was settled again, Liang Xin took advantage of the candle flame to carefully observe the Wuxin bottle, Qingmo pouted from the side and said: "What is the use of this kind of evil devil's crooked thing, if you want to come, throw it away as soon as possible!"
Liang Xin shook his head and smiled: "I don't need it, I don't know if it's suitable for the uncle." Then he put away the bottle and asked Qu Qingmo: "You say, if the second brother knows about the current situation in Tongchuan, will he call us back immediately?"
The current Tongchuan still looks quiet and peaceful, but Liang Xin clearly feels that there is an undercurrent in the four places, quietly surging!
The little ape without a tail inexplicably appeared outside the Kunai Mountain.
Mr. Higashili gave a lecture on the topic of "Immortal Calamity", why did he choose Tongchuan, where no one reads at all?
In a month, first the monks who passed by, and then the masters who came to investigate the case, more than 20 people died before and after, and the murderer never stopped, and he was still in the city.
Zhuang Buzhou raised ghosts, predicting that there would be a catastrophe in Tongchuan.
Liang Xin frowned and pondered carefully, trying to find out if there was any connection between these things, and finally thought he was hungry......
Qingmo was well-behaved, ran to the back kitchen to get some food, went to Liang Xin's side, reached out and hooked his neck, and said with a smile: "You are not my brother, you can't break this headless case, eat something and practice!"
Qu Qingmo and Liang Xin have lived together in Ku Nai Mountain since they were twelve years old, intimate and intimate, and they have no scruples about their actions, but there is no love between men and women, Qingmo treats Liang Xin as a silly boy, and Liang Xin treats Qingmo as a silly girl, which is very good......
Liang Xin ran to the back of the counter and found a jar, every time a guest drank the leftover wine, he poured it into this jar and stored it, drinking it himself when he was in a good mood, and selling it to customers when he was in a bad mood......
Sitting back at the table, Liang Xin smiled: "Don't say it, I really learned the method of solving the case with the eldest brother and the second brother." Then he ate a mouthful of meat with a happy face, and then continued: "Even when you can't find the truth, you might as well be bold...... Meng Yimeng!"
Qingmo laughed, and then got himself a glass of wine, and snorted: "That's right, even if you make it, if you make it, you won't lose if you make it, say it quickly, how did you get it." ”
Liang Xin put his head close to Qingmo and lowered his voice: "Since someone slaughtered monks indiscriminately, the murderer killed people, there is no pattern to follow, and there is no reason to talk about it, so what is his purpose?"
Qingmo didn't even bother to think about it, and directly urged: "Hurry up!"
"The murderer hates the monks, so if he encounters a cultivator, he will kill him, this is probably not wrong, but why must he be killed in Tongchuan? With his ability, if he really wants to find a small sect to slaughter, he may not be unable to do it. Liang Xin said that the head was the Tao, and he also felt that it was reasonable, and his eyebrows flew and he was very happy: "So the key is still in Tongchuan." ”
Qingmo poured herself another glass of wine, the girl's amount of wine was good, she was bored and sighed: "Can you say something useful?"
Liang Xin didn't care, peeled a peanut and threw it into Qingmo's mouth, and lowered his voice: "What is useful is, after the monk is killed, what is the consequence? It is...... Their fellow disciples will come to Tongchuan to investigate!"
Because of this, Tongchuan now gathers many cultivators.
Qingmo finally understood what he meant, and his face was a little surprised: "You mean, the murderer killed the monks at will, just to lure a large number of monks to Tongchuan?"
Liang Xin smiled and nodded: "The murderer must be plotting something, and this matter requires a large number of monks to come to Tongchuan." ”
Speaking of this, Liang Xin suddenly diverted the topic: "Mr. Dong Li, Xuan Baojiong, has been in Tongchuan for more than a month, right?"
Qingmo nodded, motioning for him to continue.
Liang Xin said: "Mr. Dongli's class, in addition to the suspicious places such as the topic of 'immortal disaster' and the location of Tongchuan, there is also a huge flaw, Mr. Dongli has been here until the class starts, why wait for forty days! What is he doing with these forty days?"
Qingmo stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "Good guy! The old gentleman's forty days are waiting for the monks to gather in Tongchuan! The lesson of 'immortal calamity' a few days later must be very lively!" Then his eyes widened again, and he was surprised afterwards: "You mean...... The murderer is Mr. Tori?"
Liang Xin also nodded: "But...... I still don't understand a little bit, Mr. Dong Li can see my cultivation, and naturally treats me as a monk, but why doesn't he kill me?"
Qingmo was startled, and the wine glass in his hand swayed, and a few drops of mellow wine came out: "Why did he kill us!"
Liang Xin is now almost certain that Dong Li is the murderer of many monks.
When Dong Li killed the monk, he didn't care about the other party's cultivation and background at all, just to lead the sect forces behind the victim to Tongchuan.
Qingmo also recalled that when he was in the inn, Hanzi Eleven and Mr. Dongli suddenly appeared at the door of the room, and said with some fear: "At that time...... They're here to kill us?!"
"Yes, I did want to kill you that day!"
When the words fell, Liang Xin and Qingmo's eyes bloomed at the same time, and Dongli had already appeared beside them, and this time Hanzi did not accompany him.
Qingmo was taken aback, and his body fluttered towards the counter, taking out the evil bow that was usually hidden under the counter.
Liang Xin didn't move, still sitting at the table, turning back to Qingmo and smiling bitterly: "If Mr. wants to kill us, we will be dead now." ”
Mr. Dong Li laughed, moved a bench and sat at the table, ate a mouthful of food first, and then raised his head and asked Liang Xin: "Do you mean that after eating, as long as you smash the table, you don't have to give money, right?"
Liang Xin nodded, and hurriedly shook his head: "You don't have to shoot, I'll treat you...... At least there's still a table left. ”
