Chapter Twenty-Four: The Way of the Devil
Back at the inn, everyone who had been hungry for a day enjoyed a good meal, which was much more abundant than usual. This is by no means the conscience of the red lady, it is just everyone's hard money.
Li Mubai entered the system, and after watching them compete at noon, the system prompted him that he had a task, which was not easy to check at that time, but now he has time.
Side Quest: Climb the Star Leaderboard
Description: If you are determined to reach the top, you must beat your peers, and the late bloomers are only a few, show your edge!
Task reward: Intermediate lottery once, a designated type of spirit soldier.
"Just watching a martial arts competition, a task was triggered, it seems that my previous idea was right, more involvement, easier to trigger the task. Li Mubai couldn't help but think, "Cultivation still has to be persistent, Jiuyang Divine Skill is really powerful, and the cultivation speed is much faster than before." After such a long time, the effect of Dahuan Dan should have dissipated, and it will not cause unstable foundation, and it can be taken again. ”
Li Mubai took out a large pill of Huandan, took it and began to refine it.
The scorching internal force runs in the meridians, and the medicinal power of refining the Great Returning Pill makes the internal force grow rapidly, opening up the meridians all the way, and finally Li Mubai has reached the seventh level of the day after tomorrow.
Li Mubai finished his work, opened his eyes, and the essence in his eyes flashed.
It's not bad to reach the seventh level of the day after tomorrow so quickly!
Li Mubai thought beautifully. But when he thought of the two of them facing each other during the day, that bit of pride was instantly thrown to Java.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
Li Mubai teased himself, and then entered the martial arts arena to hone his skills, but the daytime competition still gave him a sense of urgency. After ranking twenty on the star list, they are so powerful, so how powerful should the top ten be.
......
"Old Hu, I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you been there these days?" Tang Liuxiang saw Hu Zhutou enter the door and greeted him.
Hu Zhutou is the one who helped deal with the Black Wind Thieves last time, and because he often comes to the inn to eat, he is very familiar with everyone in the inn.
"Don't mention it, this is terrible, I tell you, don't tell anyone else. Hu Zhutou had a bitter face and frowned.
Tang Liuxiang agreed: "Okay, I will never tell others, don't you know me yet?"
Hu Zhutou said: "Yesterday there was a murder in our Fallen Leaf Town, we are investigating, I am annoying, I haven't eaten yet." ”
"Murder? or yesterday?"
"Yes, some people suspect that the person who came to see the tournament yesterday did it. ”
"Where can I find it, maybe someone ran away early. ”
"It's not, but some people say it's not simple, and I think it's also, I'm telling you, this matter may be related to the Demon Dao. Hu Zhutou's face was solemn.
Tang Liuxiang almost didn't jump up, and hurriedly asked, "It has something to do with the Demon Dao, won't it?"
You must know that in this world, the Demon Dao also has a lot of power, although it has been suppressed by the Three Kingdoms and various sects, but its strength is still very strong.
Moreover, it is impossible for the Three Kingdoms and the various sects to unite and destroy the Demon Dao. The people in the demon path are hidden in the dark, although everyone shouts and fights, but no one knows whether there are people in the demon path around them.
The reason why the Demon Dao was suppressed was because of the cruelty of his actions, and some because of the evil exercises he cultivated, such as the Corpse Demon Sect that practiced with corpses. There are also those that offend the interests of many people.
Most of the people in the Demon Dao act in an extreme way, so there are often rumors that those in the Demon Dao will kill people if they don't agree with each other.
"Yes, the victim's whole body is dry and his blood is gone, which should be caused by the Blood Demon Dafa of the Red Blood Sect. I don't know if it's just passing by, or if it's deliberately killing people to practice? Old Tang, don't say it, to avoid causing panic. ”
Although Tang Liuxiang was surprised, she still replied: "Old Hu, I have a tight mouth! You eat first now, and I'll go and greet the others." ”
Wait until it closes.
Tang Liuxiang shouted loudly: "Come here, everyone, I have something to tell you." ”
"What's the matter? Brother Tang. Li Mubai walked over and asked puzzled.
The red lady also heard the sound and asked, "Liuxiang, what's the matter? ”
Tang Liuxiang and the others arrived, and said, "Today I heard from Lao Hu that there was a murder in our town, and it was done by someone in the Demon Dao. ”
"No, did you catch that person?" asked Thursday quickly.
"Not yet, Lao Hu said that he is still investigating, I don't know if he was passing by, or if he deliberately killed people to practice. ”
The monkey exclaimed, "Killing people, then we are not very dangerous." ”
Tang Liuxiang bowed his head and continued: "It's not sure yet, but we still have to take precautions and be vigilant." ”
"Murder practice? Brother Tang listens to you, do you know which sect the murderer is?" Li Mubai heard some clues.
Tang Liuxiang nodded: "Old nonsense said that the victim lost all the blood in his body, it should be done by the Red Blood Sect." The Blood Demon Dafa of the Red Blood Sect can be practiced with blood to speed up the cultivation speed, and the orthodox practice method is to train one's own whole body blood into demon blood, which has an incredible effect, and it is said that practicing to a high level can control other people's blood. ”
Thursday Fang was a little worried and said, "What if I come to the door?"
"Don't worry, isn't there still me and the shopkeeper? The victim is just an ordinary person, and the murderer's cultivation should not be high. Besides, maybe they're gone?" Tang Liuxiang comforted, worried that they were overly nervous.
At this time, you should give others a little comfort, otherwise they will frighten themselves if they don't come.
"There is a shopkeeper, if he dares to come, he will ......"
Bang bang bang
Before the monkey could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Oh mama!" the monkey screamed, and quickly ran behind Tang Liuxiang, staring nervously at the door.
"Who, who?" said Thursday, who was also quite nervous, and his speech stuttered.
"I, old Hu!"
"Scared me. ”
Thursday patted his chest with palpitations and hurried to open the door.
The red lady asked, "Old Hu, why are you still here so late?"
"Isn't it because of that murder? Patrol so far, don't you see that you still have lights here, come to your place to eat. Hu Zhutou said helplessly.
"Sifang, you go and order some noodles for Lao Hu. The red lady commanded.
"Well, shopkeeper. ”
Tang Liuxiang asked with concern: "Old Hu, what does this case say?"
Lao Hu sighed and said weakly: "How else can I say it, if there is no more life, then this matter will be over, and the ordinary people, except for their relatives, who else will care." If it happens again, then we're out of luck. This world is so fucked up, you can't live in peace of mind. ”
Lao Hu's words made everyone feel related, and also made Li Mubai see the cruelty of this world again.
It is also a luxury for ordinary people to live in peace, and perhaps one day disaster will fall from the sky and be completely ruined at once.
No wonder it is said that chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, in such a martial arts world, only force can control one's own destiny. Li Mubai clenched his fists, he didn't want to die like this one day, so he wanted to have stronger strength.
Tang Liuxiang knew some unspoken rules and asked, "Old Hu, didn't the above send someone over to adjust the errand? What about the surrounding sects?"
"There are people dying all the time in this world, and whoever cares about it, as long as it doesn't make a big incident, they won't send anyone over. And this kind of thing happens every year, and it's too hard to catch people. However, this time there are people in the Demon Dao, and maybe someone from the sect will come over. ”
Lao Hu is also very helpless, as a head catcher, he can only watch the murderer get away with it, but he is helpless.
This kind of thing can't be avoided in the previous life, let alone this world, and Li Mubai can't do anything about it.
"The noodles are coming!"
"I'll leave after eating the noodles!"
When Hu Zhutou left, everyone was speechless.
"Everyone be vigilant, go to sleep! The red lady admonished.
