"Zheng-"

The deep knife sounded, and the water surface of Jingwan rippled layer by layer.

And behind him, it seems that a thousand knives have been gouged out, but the light of the knives still remains.

The gorefiend was shattered. (Monthly fee group 694.936135)

"Hold it, you must hold it back, you can't laugh now—system, where's my reward?"

[No one knew that it was done by the host, so there was no compulsion reward. 】

Shi Jiu's face darkened.

Too bad, let the system suck the wool.

----------------

Tang Baicao was secretly delighted, until now the city lord has not come out to stop him, as long as he leaves the city gate, the effectiveness of the city lord's official seal will be greatly reduced, and his escape is a foregone conclusion.

Not in vain at the risk of injuring his own martial arts by consuming his essence and blood to release the blood demon avatar. As long as he leaves Jinxiang City, the matter of arresting Luo Liuli can still be discussed in the long run.When the time comes, I will throw all the blame on Chu Wanwan, that dead ladyboy, find a place to heal her injuries, and it won't be too late to find Luo Liuli.

Thinking of Luo Liuli, Tang Baicao's heart burst into flames.

"It's a mere cauldron, not honestly staying in the sect, but also daring to steal the holy medicine of the venerable, stealing the secret scriptures of the sect, and even designing an ambush to protect the law..."

"Luo Liuli, I should have strangled you to death when I destroyed your family!"

Tang Baicao practiced the water movement method, and while specializing in the physical body, he would also take advantage of the advantageous location for fighting near water sources.At this time, he got rid of Shi Jiu and sneaked in the water, as fast as a sailfish, and fled out of the city along the waterway.

Holding the boundary-breaking needle tightly in his hand, the hope of escape ignited in Tang Baicao's heart.

This boundary-breaking needle can break the world's barriers. Although it can only be used once, it is the treasure that he won by risking his life to attack Yun Liaodao.If the city lord of Jinxiang forcibly set up a barrier with his official seal, or prohibited himself from leaving the city with his awe-inspiring righteousness, this boundary-breaking needle would be his only reliance.

But suddenly, he found that the surrounding light was getting darker and darker, and even the sparkling light above his head disappeared without a trace.

Where have I been?

Tang Baicao looked around vigilantly, but there was only darkness.

No matter how late the night is, it is impossible to have no light at all.Looking up, even the stars and moon in the sky disappeared together.

"What's going on, could it be that he was hit by an illusion...Impossible, how could there be someone who knows more about illusion than the Hehuan Sect?"

Tang Baicao suddenly felt a sense of fear. First, Luo Liuli planned to ambush them, and then a masked man who didn't know where he came from came out and ruined his escape plan.After that, he finally escaped from the city, but what the hell kind of place is this place?

The surroundings are quiet and dark, as quiet as a coffin buried in the soil - not only the surrounding environment, but even the true energy in his body is slowly freezing like water meeting ice.

Tang Baicao felt that his years of hard work were slowly disappearing, and he began to be unable to distinguish between east, west, north, south, or even front, back, left, and right.In the end, it was not even clear what was up and what was down.

He couldn't touch anything, and couldn't feel the wind and water.I only feel that I still exist, but the six senses are slowly disappearing from the vision.

Tang Baicao's heart moved, and she was about to press the boundary-breaking needle in her hand, but found that there was nothing in her hand, and the boundary-breaking needle disappeared.

The cold sweat dripped from his forehead like drops of water on the condenser, Tang Baicao didn't even notice when the boundary-breaking needle in his hand was stolen.

"This is... supernatural power? Sixth grade supernatural power?"

"Dare to ask who is your master, and I have not made things difficult for you. If there is a misunderstanding, please forgive me!" Tang Baicao called out tentatively, with tears streaming down his face, knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head. "The villain is willing to be an ox and a horse for Your Excellency, just to spare the villain's life!"

But the other party didn't respond to him, and the surrounding darkness made it impossible for him to even judge whether he was awake or asleep.

……

In the east of Jinxiang City, a middle-aged man in a soap robe stood expressionlessly on the water.He put one hand behind his back and stretched the other forward.The wide sleeves of the robe are open, and the river water is continuously sucked into his sleeves.

"retreat."

Accompanied by a pardon, the river water that was sucked into the sleeve of the robe flowed backwards, and the comatose Tangbaicao returned to the river together with the fish and shrimp.

The middle-aged man withdrew his hand unhurriedly, as leisurely as taking a walk after a meal, and didn't even glance at the dwarf floating on the river. His figure turned into discrete black spots and disappeared on the river.

……

A while later, Shi Jiu stepped on the water and braked suddenly. Looking at Tang Baicao who was swimming on the river or sleeping, he fell into deep thought.

"What kind of kung fu is this?"

Chapter 39 Chapter 38 The third clue (5k)

Shi Jiu carefully observed for a long time first, and after confirming that it was not the Sleeping Arhat Fist, he threw a stone at Tang Baicao from a distance.

Tang Baicao's head was smashed into the water with a bang by the stone, and then floated up again.

Thoughtful, Shi Jiu took out his skinning knife and weighed it twice in his hand.

"puff--"

The small knife was thrown out by Shi Jiu and stabbed into Tang Baicao's calf smoothly, but Tang Baicao remained motionless.

Shi Jiu suddenly realized.

"Just pretend to be with me, right?" Shi Jiu sneered, "Even if you were exhausted and fainted, you should wake up after being stabbed. The reason why you didn't react at all is that you were pretending to be asleep!"

Shi Jiu wiped his hands around his waist, and took out eight small skinning knives between his hands.

He has plenty of such consumables!

"I want to see how long you can pretend!"

----------------

Bai Shuqiu looked at Shi Jiu numbly: "So that's why he became a knife holder?"

Shi Jiu nodded vigorously, his eyes full of fear: "That's right, it's too cruel, I can't bear to look at that scene."

After finishing speaking, Shi Jiu patted his chest with lingering fear: "At that time, the masked man beat the prisoner, and the knife flew like a locust. Now there is more iron than flesh on the arms..."

There was no other way, Shi Jiu was so obsessed with throwing the throwing knives at that time, he didn't expect that he threw away all the skinning knives in his reserve without waking up the dwarf.After he realized that this might lead to death, he had to rush the prisoner to the Yamen for treatment.

After all, Tang Baicao gave him the impression that he was too rough and thick, and he subconsciously thought that such a knife would not pose a threat to Tang Baicao's life at all...

Bai Shuqiu stared at Shi Jiu, but didn't speak for a while.

Last night, when the people from the Yamen arrived at the scene, only Shi Jiu and a bunch of knives were left—to be precise, Shi Jiu and a bunch of Tang Baicao full of throwing knives.

Tang Baicao was almost sunk by the knife!

Shi Jiu swore that it was a man wearing a ghost mask who bound the prisoner like this, and he just arrived a little earlier than the others.

"Forget it, let's leave it at that." Bai Shuqiu sighed and waved his hands, "At least the prisoner was caught. You worked hard today, and there will be someone responsible for the interrogation. Go back and rest."

Hearing this, Shi Jiu's expression suddenly turned subtle, and he puffed up his chest to express that he could still do it: "Master Bai, I'm not tired. This guy has done many evils, is highly capable, and has an important case in hand. I have some problems related to the case. ask him."

Bai Shuqiu was at a loss for words for a while.

The prisoner has pierced the pipa bone, locked the dantian veins, and even inserted blood-sucking needles in the meridians of the limbs. The spirit, energy and spirit have been completely blocked, and there is no threat. There is a special interrogator.

You kid... don't I know what kind of gossip you have in your belly?Don't think that you can fool me by making up a mysterious masked person. I don't know your identity as the Superintendent of Tiansi?

Heh, a fifth-rank master pretending to be a first-rank.On the surface, he is a rookie envoy to hunt down demons, but behind his back, he is an envoy from the imperial court.You think I've been in the officialdom for so many years, and I haven't seen any big storms. The flying knives on this man's body are clearly all done by you!

I know that Shi Jiu doesn't know that I already know his secret, and I can't let Shi Jiu know that I already know his secret...

Pooh!

Bai Shuqiu rubbed his temples with a headache. He felt that if Shi Jiu continued to play like this, it was still unknown whether he could help him cover it up.

But Shi Jiu is the secret envoy of Jiantiansi, and no one knows the purpose of coming to Jinxiang City.What if Shi Jiu's purpose in coming to Mirror Tianzhou is to investigate the Hehuan Sect?If he rejected the emissary with legitimate reasons, the emissary would still find ways to enter the cell.At that time, if someone who is blind sees Shi Jiu sneaking into the prison and reports it, he will be in great trouble.

"In the prison..." Bai Shuqiu hesitated and coughed, "We have a special person in charge of the interrogation. They are full-time interrogators. No matter what kind of prisoner they are, they can pry their mouths open. And the prison is under the management of the Yamen. The demon can't get in."

"However... their skills are not good, and this prisoner is rough and thick, and he really needs some help... Well, you can attend the interrogation for the reason of investigating the monster case, but I have to tell the higher-ups first."

After hearing this, Shi Jiu was very moved, and clasped his fists together: "Then I would like to thank Hall Master Bai."

"Hahahaha, everything is contributing to the well-being of Dagan's people. I'm too happy for you to work so hard." Bai Shuqiu laughed loudly and patted Shi Jiu on the shoulder, "But this matter... I need to talk to the higher-ups. After all, the interrogation work has always been the responsibility of the special yamen servants. You may have to wait for a day or two... It may not be possible to apply. I can only say, I will mention it to the higher-ups for you. If I get rejected in the end, then I can't help it."

Shi Jiu arched his hands, and always felt that Bai Shuqiu's tone was a bit strange: "No, I'm just new here, and I want to do more things."

It stands to reason... Now he is begging Bai Shuqiu, but Shi Jiu always feels as if Bai Shuqiu is actively doing things for him...

Is it...

Could it be that they all know that I want to chase Xiao Yusheng and earn more credit for me?

Shi Jiu was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

----------------

"Vice Envoy Li, Hall Master Bai has something to report."

"Let him in."

Li Fuchuan coughed and put down the file, frowning.

Although the rot in his body has not been eliminated, Li Fuchuan still sticks to his post and has been on duty for the past few days.It's nothing more than because of the recent unrest in the city, and there are monsters and Hehuan sects, making a lot of noise.Even if he is unable to make a move due to poisoning, the command and dispatch work still needs to be completed.

Bai Shuqiu entered the door carrying a box: "Deputy Envoy Li, how are you doing these days?"

Li Fuchuan shook his head: "That monster's rot is extraordinary, and I can only suppress it. I don't know when Tiangongfang will make the antidote, so many of our brothers are still suffering every day."

This is true. Although Tiangongfang obtained the poisonous weasel's poisonous glands, the development of the antidote was not a one-day effort.Fortunately, they are working overtime and using all their resources to detoxify the poison, and it seems that they are almost successful.

"Vice Envoy Li cares about the common people and takes the lead. He also loves soldiers like sons and guards against poison for his subordinates. You can see clearly in his eyes, and he remembers your kindness in his heart." Bai Shuqiu patted himself very naturally first. Flattering, then passed the box over, "The owner of Changcaotang heard that you were poisoned, so he specially took out a thousand lotus seeds passed down from his ancestors to help Deputy Envoy Li detoxify."

It is impossible for this thing to be given by the owner of Changcaotang for free, Li Fuchuan knew what was going on in his heart, but he didn't point it out: "I am a dignified Deputy Zhenzhou envoy, my duty is, how can I take things from the people for nothing."

With a smile on his face, Bai Shuqiu took the box back calmly, put it under the table, and kicked it to the opposite side: "Boss, I am here today, and I actually have one more thing to report to you."

Li Fuchuan's expression softened slightly: "What's the matter?"

"You should know that our Jinxiang City has a new demon hunter named Shi Jiu." Bai Shuqiu carefully looked at Li Fuchuan's face, wondering if he knew Shi Jiu's real identity, "He was originally I went to Huainan City to work, but on the way, I saw that there was a shortage of manpower in Jinxiang City, and I was willing to stay in Jinxiang City to help before officially entering the job, do you still have any impression?"

Li Fuchuan recalled a little: "What happened to him?"

Seeing that Li Fuchuan was neither affirming nor denying, Bai Shuqiu understood a little bit: "There is one thing that I didn't confirm before, so I didn't dare to report it to you. But what happened last night verified my guess in my heart, so I hurried over Let me explain to you."

"When Shi Jiu came to Jinxiang City to slay demons, his subordinates found that he was full of energy and blood. He was not like a first-rank warrior, but seemed to have suppressed his true energy to first-rank. His real strength may be above fourth-rank."

"When we hunted down the demon last night, the female Hehuan sect demon was vicious, and it is estimated that she has a fifth-rank realm. It was she who wounded the three senior police officers of the yamen, and almost poisoned the worshiper Chi Yan of the Liu family."

"At that time, there was no one who could control the female witch. It was Shi Jiu who struck her and chopped her down under the knife. Many priests from aristocratic families in our city witnessed the scene at that time. From this, we can infer that Shi Jiu's strength is not below the fifth rank."

Li Fuchuan frowned more and more, with deep suspicion in his eyes: "And then?"

Bai Shuqiu didn't say a word about the secret envoy of Jian Tiansi, pretending not to know: "The official document Shi Jiu took is also strange. Although it was verified that it was indeed the seal of the Beijing Demon Slayer Division, the resume is strange. It says He spent ten years beheading demons in the Demon Slaying Cave in the capital, and then became a demon hunter in Huainan City... His subordinates feel that Shi Jiu's identity is a bit strange."

Li Fuchuan almost laughed out loud, but immediately turned his face hard.
