A black shadow passed over the roof, and the two of them used their light skills to enter the house. The black shadow had run dozens of feet away and escaped into the rows of streets and alleys.

Xiao and Li returned to the place where Lou Yuanshan was lying on the ground. They saw that Lou Yuanshan had no blood on his face, his whole body was shrunk into a ball, and he was already dead. Li Qingcheng was about to investigate, but was stopped by Xiao Jinyan and "toxic."

The Nine-Life Cat has no Nine-Life.

So Lou Yuanshan died.

Seeing that his death was similar to Li Laosan, Tianma Escort Agency and others, Xiao Jinyan died of a strange poison. He was interrupted just after a little clue, which made him very unhappy.

Of course, I didn’t find anything, at least I knew who the murderer was. However, it was still a bit worthwhile to exchange Lou Yuanshan’s life for such news.

Li Qingcheng said: "I think it's strange. I have heard of the Tantric Living Buddha Kaba, but I have never heard of him having a younger brother named the Western Region Corpse Demon."

Xiao Jinyan said, "This so-called Western Region corpse demon should be the nickname given to him by the people of the Central Plains. Just like the people of Chu, they will not call themselves Western Chu, but the Great Chu, the countries of the Western Regions, and they will not really make themselves Western Regions. He should have another name."

"What do you think of the man just now, his martial arts skills?"

Xiao Jinyan analyzed, "If it were Chu Kuangdao and Li Qiuyi, killing people as hard as possible, and there would be no signs at all. But when the man was about to kill, I smelled the bloody smell. However, his light skills are indeed extraordinary."

Li Qingcheng nodded, "I sensed it too."

Xiao Jinyan found a branch and flipped over Lou Yuanshan for a moment. There was a black spot with a thin and weak cow hair on his neck. If he didn't observe carefully, he wouldn't be able to see any clues.

Li Qingcheng took out a silver needle from his sleeve and inserted it into the black dot on Lou Yuanshan's neck. Suddenly, the whole silver needle turned black. Then, the tail of the silver needle began to tremble slightly, as if something was moving in Lou Yuanshan's body.

After a while, a black insect, the size of rice grains, crawled out along the silver needle. The back of the insect was hard, as if it was worn with stone armor, and it looked a little clumsy.

Li Qingchengcao took out another amber bottle and put the stone beetle into the bottle. The stone beetle seemed a little irritable and hit the amber bottle wildly. Xiao Jinyan said astonished, "What kind of poison is this?"

Li Qingcheng shook his head, "I remember reading in ancient books that a strange insect was produced in the Western Regions, which was highly poisonous and bloodthirsty. People died when they touched it, but they never heard that they could turn human bones into nothing. Li Qiuyi is from Yinyang, so we can ask him."

...

Li Family Tavern.

After the restaurant closed down, Li Ergou had nothing to do. Although he was not open, he still got up early every day, cleaned the yard and store, and then carried a stool to drink wine at the door and bask in the sun.

Since a group of monsters came in those days, Li Ergou often saw people swaying in front of his door these days. He took a broom to drive them away. They immediately walked away, but soon after, they came over again.

Over time, he got used to it.

Although these people seem to be not good, they are extremely afraid of themselves. Sometimes, even they themselves feel as if they are already masters in martial arts.

Xiao Jinyan and Li Qingcheng came to the Li family’s tavern. Li Ergou was a little dissatisfied, “Xiao Jinyan, why are you here again?”

Li Qiuyi had a lot of objection to Xiao Jinyan. Over the years, he and the shopkeeper sold wine in Suzhou City, and his life was very good. Unexpectedly, after Xiao Jinyan came once, the restaurant closed down, but his shopkeeper became a famous master in the world overnight, and inexplicably provoked a powerful enemy from Western Chu.

What made him even more sad was that Widow Li, who was selling vegetables at the village head, had been with him and hadn't been very much here to deliver autumn spinach recently. Li Ergou also blamed Xiao Jinyan for this matter.

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "Brother Ergou, you are in your forties this year, right?"

Li Ergou raised his head, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jinyan said, "You see, you are not young anymore, so it's time to talk about a wife."

Li Ergou frowned and said, "You don't want to use this trick to cheat you again, right? Let me tell you, I will never be fooled by you."

Xiao Jinyan said repeatedly, "It's a pity, it's a pity. Two days ago, I saw Aunt Li and mentioned this to her. Aunt Li said..."

When Li Ergou heard this, he jumped up from the stool, grabbed Xiao Jinyan and asked anxiously, "What did Sanniang say?"

Xiao Jinyan deliberately sold Xuanxu, touched his throat, and said he was a little thirsty. Li Ergou handed the wine gourd to Xiao Jinyan, "Drink a sip of red water to moisten his throat, tell me quickly."

Xiao Jinyan took the gourd and drank half of the gourd in one sip. Then he said leisurely: "Aunt Li said that she is almost forty and is old and ugly. It's time to find someone to marry. You know, she used to be in the world, and it's not so easy to find a suitable one. Not long ago, she also said that matchmaker Song came to her home to match her and asked her to remarry her to the rich man Li's house and make her a seven-bedroom or eight-bedroom house."

Li Ergou was furious, "You said Li Shancai from the west of the city? That old guy is seventy years old and wants to marry Sanniang!"

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "That's not right. I also advised her, saying that although Ergou Brother is a little stupid, he is the one who lives a life. Sanniang doesn't listen. She said that if anyone gives her thirty taels of silver as a betrothal gift, she will marry her."

Li Ergou rushed back to the store and rummaged through the cabinets. Not long after, he took out a heavy package and scattered nearly half a basket of copper plates and a few pieces of broken silver in a basket.

But he was not good at using his brain. After counting several times, he couldn't count it clearly. Xiao Jinyan stepped forward to help, counted it, and converted it into a total of twenty-eight huddles and three hundred cigarettes, which was more than one or two taels away.

Xiao Jinyan took out the only few taels of broken silver left, and said that I would like to put it together for you first if I said it was not enough.

Li Ergou shook his head, "I can't use other people's money when marrying a wife. Now that the matter is urgent, I will accept it first. However... you can't ask for your money for nothing."

He took a string of necklaces from his neck. The chain rope was just an ordinary hemp rope, but the tail pendant was a jade pendant in the shape of a wolf's teeth. It was crystal clear and the size of a copper coin, with some strange words on it.

"I have taken this jade pendant for more than 20 years. It should be worth some money. I will be bet with you first. When I have money, I will redeem it."

The jade pendant looked like it was not an ordinary thing. Xiao Jinyan felt that the jade pendant seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it. He had seen it somewhere. However, the men dressed in Hu people not far away became a little nervous.

Xiao Jinyan pushed the jade pendant back to him and said with a smile, "A gentleman does not take away the favors of others. Over the years, I have owed you a lot of money. I know some of them are yourselves. If you don't have much money, you should pay it back. It's important to do a serious matter first."

Li Ergou turned around and ran away, and the Hu people followed closely.

Li Qingcheng looked at his back far away and said, "Don't your conscience hurt?"

Xiao Jinyan sighed, "I have known about this for a long time and have never told him."

The two of them pushed the door open and Li Qiuyi was already standing in the yard waiting for them.

Li Qingcheng bowed and bowed. Although he was arrogant, he still respected the King of Golden Swords who was the mighty Jinshou, and Li Qiuyi deserved his gift.

"I didn't want to tell Ergou about Li Sanniang, and I don't agree with the matter between them." Li Qiuyi said, "I picked him up from the roadside, and it has been twenty years in a flash. After this battle with Chu Kuangdao, no matter the outcome, I will never be able to remain peaceful. I hope if I have the chance, you can help him."

Xiao Jinyan and Li Ergou have known each other for four or five years. Although he is not clear about his mind, his character is unspeakable. If it weren't for the leftovers of Widow Li and Li Ergou's wine on credit, his life would be much more boring.

"You promise?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded.

Li Qiuyi breathed a sigh of relief. He knew Xiao Jinyan. This kid rarely made promises, but once he made a promise, he would definitely do it. "You two are here, it must be for this, right?"

Li Qingcheng took out the glass bottle from his arms and handed it to Li Qiuyi, "Senior, we have encountered some trouble recently. I wonder if you can recognize this thing?"

Li Qiuyi glanced at him, "Where did you catch him?"

Xiao Jinyan’s two cases that happened in Suzhou City these days, as well as Lou Yuanshan’s incident, briefly told Li Qiuyi, and said, “I heard from the nine-life raccoon cat Lou Yuanshan that this stone beetle is a poisonous substance of the Western Regions corpse demon. The seniors are knowledgeable and must know this thing.”

After hearing this, Li Qiuyi smiled coldly, "This insect was indeed the stone corpse worm of the Western Region Corpse Demon back then, but the person who used this insect had obviously not enough cultivation. If he practiced to a certain level, the stone corpse worm he practiced was transparent rather than black. What's more, if the Western Region Corpse Demon came in person, with his nature, you two would not live now."

The two of them took a breath, but they didn't expect that Li Qiuyi's evaluation of the Western Region corpse demon was so high.

Li Qiuyi said again, "But even if it is not him, the murderer must be related to him." He asked Li Laosan and the Tianma Escort Agency again, and said, "I didn't expect that the noise caused by Chu Kuangdao this time was really big."

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Senior, did Chu Kuangdao asks the Western Region Corpse Demon as his helper? Then you have to be careful."

Li Qiuyi shook his head, "Then he is not Chu Kuang Dao. Although his character is unbearable, his heart for the sword path is extremely pure. In the battle between us, let alone the Western Regions corpse demon, even if an ordinary citizen helps him, he will not appreciate it. I'm afraid... the other party has other intentions." He thought for a moment and decided not to tell Xiao Jinyan.

Xiao Jinyan said, "Since the murderer is sure that he is not a corpse demon in the Western Regions, the next step is to find ways to catch him, so we will not disturb the senior cultivator."

Li Qiuyi asked, "Do you know where to catch him?"

After saying this, the two of them were stopped. Xiao Jinyan said, "We are going to let Liuzhanmen go to sea to arrest the documents. As long as he is in Suzhou City, he will never let him go to justice."

Li Qiuyi said lightly: "The poison of the stone corpse worm was obtained by the Western Regions corpse demon from an ancient tomb in the desert. It is extremely vicious, but it also has a weakness, that is, it requires extremely high environmental requirements and must be practiced in extremely cold places."

Xiao Jinyan said in surprise: "Tianxiang Tower?"
