"Amitabha! is a high disciple of the Taoist leader. After the eyebrowless monk saw Li Ge, he raised his hand and recited the Buddha's name, and then under the greeting of Nan Mingzi, the five of them sat around the table.

After a polite inquiry, after the two monks learned about Lai Changsheng, their faces showed pity and reminiscence.

"It's been more than a month since I came to this Gusu city, and I've watched dozens of lives die tragically, but I don't even know what the murderous thing is, it's really ......" Nan Mingzi broke the silence in the room with a long sigh.

"Master, don't blame yourself too much, we just have to do our best. Seeing his master's expression, Xutian opened his mouth to comfort him.

"Yes, Governor Nan, don't blame yourself too much. Monk Ming held the rosary in his hand and turned around, and then said, "Since the senior disciple of Daoist Lai is here today, let's redistribute it during the vigil tonight." ”

"Okay~" Nan Mingzi nodded, reached out and dipped some water in the teacup, and then drew a Feng character on the table, and explained to Li Ge, "This Gusu county town is not big, it is mainly composed of three large horizontal streets and one straight street. Before the two mages came, Tian'er and I checked the movement on the straight street every night, and when they came, we divided into four groups, each guarding a side street. Since you are here today, you will guard the straight street with Tian'er that night, and the three of us will each guard a horizontal street. ”

When Li Ge heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, everything will be arranged by Nan's seniors." ”

After some discussion, Li Ge also opened a room in this inn and stayed, and when it was about to dark, the five of them had dinner together in Nan Mingzi's room, and after talking about some things, they left the inn when it was dark.

Tongshun Inn is on the straight street, after going out, the three old men each walked towards the side street they want to guard, Xutian glanced at Li Ge beside him, and said indifferently, "Li Ge, this straight street is relatively long, how about we guard half of it?"

"Yes. By the faint glow of the crescent moon in the sky, Li Ge glanced at the void sky, and then walked towards the end of the street with his hands in his hands. He naturally knew Xutian's attitude towards him, so he also agreed with the latter's proposal.

Walking down the empty streets, Li Ge looked around at the dark storefronts and houses, and after a short time, he came to the end of the street to the official road leading to the other.

"At that time, there was only one main street in Pujiang Town, and Master and I guarded it for several days, but we didn't find anything, and now I don't think there's a reason for guarding it like this. Standing at the end of the street and thinking about it, Li Ge looked up to the sky and sighed, and then walked towards the middle of the straight street.

I don't know how many times I walked back and forth, and an hour before the rooster crowed, when Li Ge walked outside the wall of a house, a cat's meow came into his ears. Then, a black cat climbed out of the courtyard wall of the house, barked at Li Ge 'meow~', and then got into a dark alley.

Cats love nocturnal activities, the first time I saw this black cat, Li Ge didn't think so, just glanced at it casually, and then continued to move forward, after walking dozens of steps, he suddenly stopped, and his mind appeared last year in Pujiang Town, as if he had seen a black cat at night.

"Could it have something to do with this cat?" said Lige to himself, and then hurriedly turned and ran towards the alley that the black cat had just burrowed into. The alley is not long, about ten meters, behind the alley is a stinky ditch, behind the ditch is another row of people's backyard. Standing on the edge of the ditch and looking, but not finding the black cat, Li Ge turned around and returned to the straight street.

After another hour, the rooster crowed, and the five people who had not found anything returned to the inn with helpless faces.

When the sun rose, Li Ge ate some breakfast casually, and did not sleep, but sat cross-legged in the room and sat up. Halfway through the hour, he heard a knock on the door of Nan Mingzi's master and apprentice who lived at the door, he retracted his mind when he heard the sound, and curiously walked to the door and opened the door.

At the same time, Nan Mingzi also happened to open the door, and he looked at a man dressed in errand clothes outside the door and asked, "Is there another accident?"

"Yes, Master Nan, the warrior man on the straight street died tragically last night. As soon as the officer's voice landed, the monk Mingming and the monk Hanneng who lived next door to Nanmingzi also opened the door and walked out. The messenger turned his head to look at the two monks, and then said, "Master, do you want to go with me today?"

"Amitabha!" the monk recited the Buddha's name to his junior brother, and the two exchanged glances, and then said, "Then there is Lord Laoshi to lead us forward." ”

"Forget it~ Forget it, I won't go, I can't see a reason for going anyway. Nan Mingzi stood at the door and sighed, and then reluctantly went back to the room.

"Seniors of Obscure Ming, Seniors of Obscure Energy, I'll go and see with you. Seeing the situation, Li Ge greeted him, and then closed the door and went downstairs with the messenger and the two monks.

After leaving the inn, the three of them, under the leadership of the messenger, walked directly to the half of the straight street that Li Ge had guarded last night. After a short time, the servant stood in front of a house and stopped, "Three masters, this is it, you can go in with me and see." ”

"This~ Is it really the black cat's doing? Could it be ......" Standing outside the courtyard wall of the house, Li Ge was directly stunned.

After the messenger led the two monks into the house, he found that Li Ge did not come in, so he couldn't help but walk outside the courtyard gate curiously, and found that he was standing by the courtyard gate and bowed his head to think about something, and couldn't help asking, "Master Xiao Li, don't you go in and have a look?"

"Go in~ Go in. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the words of the messenger, Li Ge nodded in response, and then moved towards the courtyard. Passing through a small courtyard two feet long and wide, when I stepped into the gate, a tragic picture came into view.

In the hall of the house, two old monks stood in the corner of the wall and silently recited the scriptures. In the middle of the hall, there was a small bunk made of two wooden benches and a wooden block, on which lay a dead man covered with a white cloth.

On the left side of the bunk, an old woman with white hair slumped on the ground and wept bitterly, her hands clasping the deceased's left hand. On the right side of the bunk, there was a woman lying on her stomach, burying her face in the chest of the deceased, her hands around the neck of the deceased, sobbing quietly, listening to her voice like a middle-aged woman. Next to the middle-aged woman were a little girl of about eleven or twelve years old and a little boy of seven or eight years old, both of whom were lying on the edge of the bunk and wailing.

"Uh~" When the messenger saw this scene, he sighed in his mouth, and immediately walked to the bunk and persuaded him, "Lady of the martial family, since this person is gone, don't be too sad, crying hurts your body, what should these two children do in the future." Then, he walked up to the white-haired old woman and picked her up and said, "Auntie, life and death are fateful, you can mourn." ”

Looking at this scene in the house, Li Ge walked to the corner of the bunk and lifted the white cloth to look at the deceased, then looked in the room where the couple lived, and then moved out of the house.
