Ma Chong chased out more than 100 miles yesterday, but after all, he still failed to catch Ye Guyue and completely lost his trace.

This was also expected by Lu Jun, after all, Ma Chong had turned back halfway, which was enough for Ye Guyue to escape.

"I remember that Ma Zhutou said, what kind of blood escape secret method is used by Ye Guyue, and his cultivation will be greatly damaged because of this, and now he only has the Enlightenment Realm?"

"Not bad. Ma Chong nodded.

"Then I can rest assured. Lu Jun laughed and said, "For him, it is more important to recover his strength than to kill me. ”

"That's not to be careless, you'd better stay here for a few days, we'll make another raid and make sure it's safe to get on the road." Ma Chong persuaded.

"With the cunning of Ye Guyue, I'm afraid it's the same as in Jianghan, instead of taking refuge here, it's better to leave quickly while he is recuperating. Lu Jun said.

"Then don't be in a hurry to leave today, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and we will talk about it after the New Year." Ma Chong said.

"Walking the rivers and lakes, everywhere is home, why bother with the New Year?"

Lu Jun arched his hand and said, "Ma Zhutou, thank you for your recent care, and see you in the future." ”

Ma Chong saw that he insisted on leaving, and it was inconvenient to stop him, so he sent Lu Jun away and told him to be more careful on the road.

Lu Jun said goodbye to Ma Chong, rode out of the city, and headed east.

Walking all the way through the village, there are firecrackers everywhere, and there is a joyful scene.

Lu Jun couldn't help but think that when his father was still there, he was happy every New Year, just like those children who were running.

"Daddy, where are you and your mother, when I remove the demon chasing seal, I'll go to you!"

Thinking of this, Lu Jun longed to be able to grow wings on his back and fly to Nanlu Academy.

Without the fetters of the prisoner car, the horses galloped, but they arrived at the south ridge of the Jiaozhou Administration in two days.

When you get to Nanling, you can turn to the waterway and go east to Jingzhou, which is the fastest way.

It's a pity that today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the shipping has stopped.

Fortunately, there will be a brave man under the heavy reward, and Lu Jun promised five times the fare, plus good words, and finally moved a boatman.

The boat's surname is Li, a very simple family, father Li Laosan, and son Li Tiezhu take turns to take charge of the boat, and the mother Wang is responsible for the food on the ship, and can travel day and night.

Li Laosan said with a smile: "Young man, you can blame the little greed, it's really inappropriate time." ”

"It's the New Year, as it should be. ”

Lu Jun doesn't care about the fare, as long as he can get to Nanlu Academy quickly, and it is a big New Year, which is not an exaggeration.

"Thank you Shaoxia for your understanding, in fact, your five times the fare is really not much, there were people who wanted to take a boat on the first day of the Lunar New Year yesterday, and no one wanted to go after ten times the fare. In the end, it was the old man who was greedy for money and sent the guest officer away. Li Laosan said.

Lu Jun only thought that he was comforting himself, and he didn't believe it, so he casually coped with a few sentences, and then entered the cabin to cultivate under the pretext of being tired.

Sail along the river, the boat is very fast, but one day out of the jurisdiction of Nanling, if it is a land route, it is a horse no matter how good it is, it will take three days.

On the second day, Lu Jun was meditating in the cabin, and suddenly heard Li Tiezhu's surprised voice: "Dad, isn't that Uncle Zhang's boat, he left yesterday, how could he have only arrived here, shouldn't it be anchored?"

"It's really!" Li Laosan shouted into the cabin: "Shaoxia, let's stop for a moment and go over to see if we need help." ”

Lu Jun walked out of the cabin when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw a boat docked by the river, there was no one on the boat, and there was a wilderness nearby, which was indeed a little strange.

"Okay, let's go over and have a look, if you can, you can help. Lu Jun said.

The boatman leaned the boat over, and before he could get close, Lu Jun smelled a faint smell of blood.

He opened his ears to listen, but he didn't hear anything, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow.

Before the boatman realized it, he leaned over and shouted, "Lao Zhang, what's wrong, is the boat broken?"

The two ships were still a long way apart, and Lu Jun jumped up, landed firmly on the opposite boat, opened the hatch, and was stunned by the scene in front of him.

I saw that in the cabin, there were five corpses, two men and two women, and a young child of seven or eight years old, all of whom were shriveled and looked as if they had been sucked dry blood.

Lu Jun's fists clenched violently, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's the Demon Dao again!"

A row of red letters flashed in front of him, but Lu Jun didn't look at it, turned around and walked out of the cabin, even if the system didn't issue a mission, he had to find out this murderous magic way.

Li Laosan leaned over the boat and asked, "Shaoxia, how is it? Why are you so angry?"

"You'd better not look. ”

Lu Jun returned to his boat and stopped Li Tiezhu, who wanted to get on the boat to check.

"Shaoxia, what's wrong?" asked Li Tiezhu puzzled.

Li Laosan realized that the situation was not good, and asked tentatively: "Shaoxia, should it be, they met the water bandits, right?"

"It's worse than the water bandits. Lu Jun's face was serious, and he asked, "Is this Zhang family two men and two girls, and a young child?"

"Huh?"

The three members of the Li family all screamed, and the Wang family said: "Yes, yes, Lao Zhangtou and his son and daughter-in-law, the child is the youngest grandson of his family, they ......"

Wang didn't dare to ask.

Lu Jun nodded, proving that her guess was correct, Wang was so frightened that he fainted directly, Li Laosan hurriedly hugged his wife, and Li Tiezhu also stepped forward to help.

"I'll do it. ”

Lu Jun walked over, and after a wisp of true qi, Wang woke up leisurely, and immediately cried bitterly, and the father and son hurriedly comforted him.

Lu Jun patted Li Laosan and said, "Third Uncle Li, please tell me, what does the person on Zhang's boat look like?"

All five members of the boat's family died, only the passenger was not there, and he was the most suspicious.

"The man was in his forties, his face was yellow, and he was half a head taller than me......"

"Night Lonely Mountain!"

In addition to his appearance, the person described by Li Laosan was very similar to Ye Guyue, and the first thing Lu Jun thought of was him.

"Okay, Third Uncle Li, you immediately take a boat down the river and go to the nearest county town to find Tiance Mansion to report the case. Tell them that there is a demon way to kill people, and Wan Yan sent Lu Jun to chase the murderer first. Lu Jun said.

Li Laosan was so frightened that he hurriedly agreed, drove the boat away, and Lu Jun returned to the cabin and began to survey the scene.

Sure enough, the corpse had no other wounds except for the wound in the neck artery, and it should have been ignited in the acupuncture point and sucked the blood alive.

The corpse is no different from the dried corpse, and it is difficult to deduce the time of death, but Lu Jun has the help of discernment, and quickly deduces the time when the murderer left the ship, at dawn yesterday.

There are no traces on the shore, indicating that the murderer did not land here, but let the boat drift on its own, and finally ran aground here.

After all, more than a day has passed, and I don't know where the murderer came ashore, and it is very difficult to catch him.

"It doesn't matter if you are Ye Guyue or not, no matter how difficult it is, I will find you!"
