dream of you

"Why do you deliberately avoid it?" Jian Yanzhi suddenly reached out to stop Li Zhi.

Li Zhi hurriedly took two steps back, subconsciously retorted: "No...no, I'm afraid the third senior brother is thinking too much."

"A year and a half ago, water ghosts ravaged and caused abdominal pain."

"..."

"A year ago, the mountain demon made trouble, and the wind was cold."

"..."

"Half a year ago, the corpse puppet lost control and suffered a leg injury."

"..."

"A month ago, the evil spirit claimed his life and twisted his hand."

"...Coincidence, purely coincidence." Unexpectedly, Jian Yanzhi could remember it so clearly, Li Zhi could only bite the bullet and reply.

"Oh? Really?" Jian Yanzhi slightly lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking, and suddenly raised his head and said softly, "Are you..."

Before Li Zhi could hear Jian Yanzhi's words, Jian Xingheng broke into the yard and interrupted him: "Junior brother Li, I heard from the guard at the gate that there are two little puppet girls who have sent you a letter."

Corpse puppet little girl?letter?

Taking the envelope handed over by Jian Xingheng, he opened it and saw that Ye Li asked Lin Nan to send it here and there. There were only two short sentences in the letter:

Feili, long time no see, I miss you very much.I am waiting for you at the Molai Inn in Fusheng City. I need to discuss with you in detail urgently, so you must come here.

"The second city lord of Wuxi City?" Jian Xingheng asked.

Li Zhi nodded, put the letter away, and said, "Well, it's Xiaoye, he said he has something important to tell me, and asked me to go to Molai Inn to find him."

Jian Xingheng came up at once, winked at Li Zhi, and said, "I remember that the second city lord seems to like you, right? I'm looking for you, isn't it to show my heart?"

These words reminded Li Zhi of what Ye Li said before they parted in Junmeng City two years ago, "I like Feili, and when I finish the task at hand, I will go to Fushengyique to find you. Think about it carefully."

Could it be that this is the important thing Ye Li said?Thinking of this, Li Zhidun felt at a loss, and was a little afraid to go to the appointment. It was absolutely impossible to accept him. He had always only regarded him as a friend, and had never thought of anything else. Once he refused, he would definitely become rather embarrassing.But it was hard for him to come to him, it would be hard not to go...

Li Zhi sighed, and said to the two, "Then I'll go back to the house and change clothes, and go down the mountain."

As he said that, Li Zhi turned around and wanted to go back to the house. Just as he took a step, someone grabbed his right hand, turned his head, and met a pair of slightly frowning eyebrows: "Senior brother? Is there anything else?"

"you want to go?"

"Well, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's better to see you."

"Do you want to change clothes?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi was a little dazed, looked down at the white clothes that were stained with dust from sword practice, and said, "It's a bit dirty, it's better to change it."

Hearing this, Jian Yanzhi let go, turned around and said "come back early" and walked out of Sangyu Courtyard.Seeing that Jian Yanzhi left, Jian Xingheng patted Li Zhi on the shoulder, blinked playfully and said, "You must be happy!" Then he also left.

When he knocked on the door of Yeli's room and saw Yeli who was lying on the bed pale and asleep, Li Zhi was stunned for a while before asking: "Lin Nan, why did he suffer such a serious injury?" ?”

Lin Nan invited Li Zhi into the room, closed the door behind his back, motioned him to sit down, and said, "In the past two years, my second master and I have been traveling around in various places, trying to find clues about the murderer who stripped the monk Jindan. After visiting various schools and sects, we found that there were far more victims than we knew."

Instructing this party to pour a cup of tea for Li Zhi, Lin Nan continued: "Half a month ago, we passed by Baitang Village and accidentally found a wild cemetery. There are new graves, all without tombstones, and the villagers don't know who is buried, and they have never seen anyone who buried them."

Hearing Lin Nan talk about Baitang Village, Li Zhi inevitably remembered what happened when he first met Maoyou. Now that he thinks about it, could it be that he failed to catch Maoyou in Baitang Village that led to the subsequent series of events?This guess made Li Zhi break into a cold sweat. Did the murderer arrange all this since then or earlier?

"Then, did you guys find anything from the wild cemetery?" Li Zhi asked.

Lin Nan took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Li Zhi, beckoning him to open it, and at the same time explained: "The red letters are the list of victims, and the black letters are the names of the missing Ghost Cultivator and Immortal Cultivator."

"Missing?"

"Yes, they are all casual cultivators, 120 and three people." Lin Nan paused, looked at Li Zhi with a solemn expression, and said, "We found them all, all of them."

A chill went straight from the soles of the feet to the top of the head, and Li Zhi had a faint guess in his heart: "In the wild cemetery?"

Lin Nan nodded: "In the past half a month, the second master and I have dug all the graves in the wild cemetery, and found out their identities from every corpse, which is exactly the same as the missing person. Moreover, both There is no golden core."

"Then...why did Xiao Ye suffer such a serious injury?" Li Zhi turned to look at Ye Li, who was still awake, and asked worriedly.

"Knowing that the murderer has not stopped committing crimes, and there is such a fixed place to dump the corpse. The second master decided to wait and see. We hid in the wild cemetery for several days, and we saw the murderer burying the body."

"Then did you see the face of the murderer?"

"It was Zishi at that time, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and the man was wearing a black robe and deliberately covered his face, we couldn't see clearly at all. The second master fought with the man on the spur of the moment, and I naturally joined in the desire Catch the murderer, but the murderer's cultivation level is much higher than the two of us, we can't fight together, and the second master was seriously injured by a palm hit in the chest." Recalling the scene of that day, Lin Nan I have lingering fears.

"It took a lot of effort for me and my second master to escape that man's pursuit. Otherwise, we might be buried in a wild cemetery and become missing ghost cultivators."

Knowing that the two of them had gone through a night of life-and-death struggle, Li Zhi was silent for a long time before asking in a deep voice, "Is that person Xianxiu?"

Lin Nan shook his head wearily: "I don't know, his moves are very weird, and the second master and I can't tell whether he is a fairy cultivator or a ghost cultivator."

"Maybe, it's a demon." Ye Li's weak voice sounded, which immediately caught the attention of the two of them.

Li Zhi hurriedly walked to the bed and helped Ye Li who was about to sit up.Lin Nan poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Ye Li together with a Ye Ling Pill. After Ye Li took the Ye Ling Pill, he swallowed it with warm water. After a while, he smiled at Li Zhi and said, "Fei Li , I didn’t expect to see you alive.”

"If you die, I will never see you." Li Zhi's nose was a little sore, and his words were choked up.

"It's better to be alive, at least you will see me." Ye Li suddenly grabbed Li Zhi's hand, "Fei Li, I almost, almost died, do you feel distressed?"

Li Zhi froze for a moment, turned her head and wanted to pull Lin Nan to change the topic, but saw that Lin Nan had already left with this party and the other party at some point, and smiled embarrassingly, Li Zhi said: "Distressing is naturally Yes, you are my good brother!"

Hearing the second half of Li Zhi's words, Ye Li's eyes dimmed immediately, and he murmured: "You know, I like you, you... just treat me as a brother?"

Seeing Ye Li's paler face, Li Zhi couldn't bear it, but things like feelings cannot be procrastinated. A soft heart will actually make up for the final rejection. Li Zhi has always hated this kind of behavior for a person who loves her, and it is even more impossible to do such a thing.Rejecting Ye Li at this time, being cruel for a while, and speaking clearly, it was a relief for each other.

"I'm sorry. You know, I already have someone in my heart."

"Is that why you like that short story so much?"

"Ah."

"What's so good about him that you can think about him for so long? Am I not as good as him?" Ye Li paused, smiled wryly, and said, "He is indeed better than me."

Li Zhi sighed and said, "Xiao Ye, when you like someone, you can't give a reason at all."

Hearing this, Ye Li tightened the quilt on her body, and then let it go after a while: "Yes, there is no reason for a true liking, and all reasons are conditional, superficial, and hypocritical. Isn't that what you are?"

"sorry, I..."

"Okay, I know that feelings can't be forced, I will bless you, but I won't give up on you." Ye Li smiled softly, and continued, "Back to business. Remember what I said just now, the murderer may be a demon?"

Seeing Ye Li talking about the murderer again, Li Zhi immediately became serious: "Why do you think it's a demon? If it's a demon, how can you sneak into Junmeng City?"

"Naturally it can't be an ordinary demon, I guess, it may be the offspring of humans and demons."

Li Zhi was very surprised, and hurriedly asked: "This...does such a thing exist?"

"Why not?" Ye Li closed his eyes, seemed a little tired, squinted for a while, and opened his eyes, "That person's move is not a fairy technique or a ghost technique, so it may be a witchcraft , I used the demon rope on him that day, but it didn't work, so I had such a guess. On the one hand, he was able to enter Junmeng City because he deliberately suppressed the half of the demon nature, and on the other hand, he was a contestant one."

Just when Li Zhi was digesting the message given by Ye Li, Ye Li threw out a heavy bullet: "I suspect that the murderer is someone who has been born in a world."

"No... Impossible! What is the basis for your suspicion?!" Li Zhiteng stood up abruptly, tremblingly questioning.

"Most of the corpses in the wild cemetery were gouged out by a dagger to get pills, but a few corpses had some sword wounds. I suspect that the murderer accidentally committed the crime. Judging by the moves, it is the Floating Sword Law."

"Scars...scars...what kind of...draw them for me." Li Zhi tried her best to restrain herself, but couldn't suppress the trembling of speaking.

"Feili, calm down." Ye Li comforted softly, reached out and patted the back of Li Zhi's hand, trying to calm him down.

Li Zhi took several deep breaths before forcing herself to calm down.Seeing that Li Zhi finally calmed down, Ye Li leaned forward, opened the cabinet next to the bed, took out a wooden box, handed it to Li Zhi, and said, "Be prepared mentally, this is taken from a corpse. Skin with sword marks."

After receiving the wooden box, Li Zhi bit her lower lip fiercely, and opened the lid abruptly. Inside was a piece of black and purple skin with corpse spots, and several sword marks were impressively interlaced on the skin.

With just one glance, Li Zhi was sure that this was a move of the Floating Life Swordsmanship. Tears burst out instantly, because Li Zhi had seen a sword that could draw such a sword mark not only once, but the murderer was someone Li Zhi was quite familiar with.
