Master never follows a routine

"By the way, I heard that she still has a murder case in her hands. It seems that she poured boiling water on her father-in-law, right?" Wu Zuo asked.

Jiang Linmu nodded.

"The first thing we want to judge is the reason for the murderer's action." Wu Zuo paused: "The reason is obviously her son. She vented her son's death on her father-in-law and killed him in the end. There is nothing wrong with that."

Jiang Linmu was taken aback when he heard that.

"It's just a wrong time. When she lost her mind, it should be when she heard about her son's death."

"The first is grief, regretting that I lost my son, and then anger, hating my father-in-law for not protecting his son, or hearing that my father-in-law said that it was because of me that my son died. This time point will not exceed two hours. If she If you want to do it, this period of time is the most likely."

"And I heard that his father-in-law brought a lot of money to ask you to go down to the mortal world to kill the wolf demon?"

Jiang Linmu nodded.

"Her father-in-law has reached her sixtieth year, her husband passed away, and she still has a son to raise. Usually in this kind of family, women handle the money. In this case, the money in the hands of your client is given by her, and I believe it It has something to do with the wolf demon, and I know you will come over."

"Yes."

"If you want to kill a person, the perpetrator usually avoids human eyes and disposes of the body in time. She knows you will come, so why is she in a hurry to do it the day before you come?"

There was nothing wrong with what he said, and Jiang Linmu almost wanted to applaud him.

"So I feel that she should have killed for him, and she was not extraordinary."

"Ah."

"Head Immortal, look." Wu Zuo turned the corpse over and lifted the clothes off her body.

There were several claw marks on her neck, as if sharp claws had caught her neck and the claws had accidentally cut open.

"I asked the guards who were patrolling at that time, and they didn't find any strange things at that time." Wu Zuo said cautiously: "And these claw marks are left by ferocious beasts."

"Actually, monsters with cultivation bases have this ability."

-

Ying Lin found the wolf demon under a large bush.

It looked extremely weak, the hair that was originally shone like the moonlight on the snow looked a lot grayer, half of the face that was slapped by Jiang Linmu was stained with blood, and you could even see the bones inside, with a few small mosquitoes dangling on it .

It was lying behind the bushes and panting like dying, and it didn't even notice the arrival of their group.

"Master! I found a wolf demon!" Que Tian shouted excitedly.

Elder Yuqing strode forward, his spiritual energy quickly gathered into a sword, and cut off the head of the wolf demon. Its limbs twitched twice, and then it stopped moving. The blood sprayed from its neck stained a large area of ​​grass.

Ying Lin suddenly suspected that it didn't even know what happened.

Is this really the wolf demon from yesterday?

"What an old guy." Zhuang Lin kicked the wolf's head in disgust: "Uncle Master was defeated by it?"

"Hmph, he is lazy by nature, proud and complacent, and he deserves what he deserves." Elder Yuqing continued to step on it, with a bit of a sour feeling in his tone: "If you can learn a little from the deity, you won't be here."

Ying Lin suddenly understood why Master always scolded him.

But even though he said so, it is true that Jiang Linmu's cultivation base is higher than his, otherwise he would have just done it to himself.

"Master, let me dig out the demon pill for you. This beast is too stinky. I'm afraid it will stain Master's clothes." Que Tian turned the wolf on its side, took out a dagger, and slashed open its chest. Belly, stretched his hand directly into it.

Ying Lin frowned, feeling a little nauseous.

"Master, here, why can't I find the demon pill!" Que Tian raised his head hesitantly and said.

"Look carefully." Zhuang Lin urged: "How could it not be there? Did you miss something?"

"If you don't believe me, come here!" Que Tian pulled his bloody hand out of the wolf's stomach.

Zhuang Lin cut the wolf's body in half with a knife, and the stench immediately permeated. Que Tian was right, there was indeed nothing in the wolf demon's dantian.

He chopped the corpse into several sections, and even turned over the surrounding grass, but there was still nothing!

"Could it be that the two of you masters have already taken away the demon pill?" Elder Yu Qing turned his head and stared at Ying Lin closely, his voice sounded like snake scales passing through dead branches, which sounded very uncomfortable.

"If the master took it, why should I come out with you to find the wolf demon again?" Ying Lin didn't dare to show weakness in the slightest: "You might as well ask your two apprentices, who secretly hide the demon pill from time to time. "

"Ying Lin, you bastard is trying to frame me again!"

"Master, don't believe him, he must have done it!" Zhuang Lin stared at Ying Lin: "I felt something was wrong just now, that wolf demon is too old, you must have poached the demon pill yesterday! Its body Without the support of spiritual power, it will be exhausted to such an extent!"

Ying Lin bit the bullet and said, "If I had the Yaodan earlier, I would have gone back by now. Anyway, Master has heard what we said, so you can just confront him directly."

"...you wait for me." Elder Yuqing said in a cold voice.

Who is waiting for grandson.

When Jiang Linmu returned to the village, the sun had already begun to set, and there were large expanses of fire clouds in the sky, shining golden on the ground.

There were still a few people waiting at the door of Lao Li's house, and their eyes lit up when they saw him come back. Niuniu threw herself into his arms happily, and giggled with her little face up: "Brother, you came back from the underworld?"

"hold head high?"

"Daddy said you've gone to the underworld! You're going to find the King of Hades to redress Grandpa Li's grievances. You're so amazing!"

Jiang Linmu: "..."

Parents, don't teach your children bad!

Niu Niu's father coughed in embarrassment, and stepped forward to hug Niu Niu: "Where did the fairy head go? Is there any result?"

"I asked Zuo Zuo for a question," Jiang Linmu said, "Elder Li and his daughter-in-law were both killed by wolf demons."

"How is it possible!" he said in disbelief.

Jiang Linmu told them what Wu Zuo had said, and said: "Since the wolf monster is already a monster, don't just treat it as a wild beast. Its cunning is no less than that of humans, and even better than humans."

"The reason why it chose to do it the day before we came here was because Mr. Li happened to be at home at the time. Because it knew that Mr. Li hired us, it would definitely not have a good time, so in anger, it killed Li with extremely cruel means. Old man, and put the blame on his daughter-in-law."

The most direct evidence is that Lao Li's body was horrible, with blood dripping from his hands and feet. He had fought with the wolf demon, but his daughter-in-law had no new wounds except for a few burns.

"When his daughter-in-law woke up, she found that her father-in-law had died tragically, and she had burns on her body. Knowing that she had no way to clear up her grievances, she put her father-in-law into a coffin and planned to find a good time to bury him."

Unfortunately, he found out.

After she was imprisoned, she cried out desperately for herself. Seeing that they really came, the wolf demon also got angry with her and went to kill her.

As Jiang Linmu said, he tapped on the coffin lid again with two fingers, but this time there was no response from inside.

"Go up the mountain."

With all their strength, several strong men picked up the stakes that passed through the ropes, easily lifted the coffin, and strode forward.

"One two one! One two one!"

The boy holding the spiritual tablet reluctantly walked in front, the light paper streamers swaying in the wind, the woman followed behind and sprinkled a few paper money, the paper money scattered in the air like a butterfly and then slowly fell on the ground. On the ground, trampled into the soil by the feet behind.

In this way, Lao Li was sent up the mountain and buried in an open space.

"The grave next to it belongs to his son. His son caught fish last night and was bitten to death by a snake. He lay on the bed for several days, his legs were swollen badly...Old Li watched him die." Uncle Qiang smoked a dry cigarette and pulled the weeds from the nearby grave.

"Look, this piece of land is reserved for Axiu. It's not good for her to die in such a cold place as a girl." Uncle Qiang continued, "I'll go to the county seat tomorrow, and I'll take her away." return."

Jiang Linmu nodded.

When I went back, it was dusk, the last ray of sunlight in the sky was gone, and half the moon was hanging in the twilight sky.

Jiang Linmu looked at the sky, feeling a little anxious, Ying Lin and the others haven't come back yet, could it be that they were really taken away by the wolf demon?

If he was a wolf demon, the first thing he would eat would be Yuqing's old mule, and then his two apprentices.

Tender and good-looking meat like Yinglin must be saved for the last!

That's what he thought anyway.

"Master?"

Ying Lin ran over from a distance and called out to Jiang Linmu who was staring at the branches in a daze.

Niuniu was also squatting next to him, staring at the sky with wide eyes for a while, and secretly inquiring about Jiang Linmu for a while.

Ying Lin shouted again: "Master? I'm back."

"Huh?" Jiang Linmu stood up, frowning: "Why is it so late?"

"Some things are delayed, please trouble Master to wait for so long." Ying Lin sneered.

Before he finished speaking, Elder Yuqing rushed over aggressively. Jiang Linmu felt that the old man's face seemed to have pulled down a little more based on his careful observation. Did you dig Dan!"

Jiang Linmu glanced at him: "What is it? You haven't found the wolf demon yet?"

Elder Yuqing was stunned for a moment: "You don't know? Didn't you hold..." He suddenly came to his senses and glared at Ying Lin: "How dare you lie to me?"

Ying Lin rubbed his nose, and said slowly, "That's impossible, if I didn't say that, you would have attacked me a long time ago."

"Hit against you?" Jiang Linmu turned his head and stared at Elder Yuqing fiercely.

Ying Lin felt a little astonished. He had never seen such a master before. In his memory, although Jiang Linmu was not serious all day long, he was still calm and self-possessed. The biggest temper was when his junior sister forgot to peel the scales of the fish he made for him. , he was so angry that he dropped the plate...

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Elder Yuqing looked down: "No matter how you say it, he is the master nephew of the deity. How could the deity do that?"

"I believe you?"

"I--"

"I warned you that if you dare to attack him, we will go out and practice. I don't have any skills, but you can try." Jiang Linmu whispered in his ear.

"If the deity says there is no, then there is no!" Elder Yuqing gritted his teeth: "It's you, aren't you going to explain the demon pill of the wolf demon!"

"The demon pill of the wolf demon? Of course it is the demon pill that appeared on the wolf."

"Don't pretend to be a fool for this deity! Is it with you?"

"Demon pill? I'm you? I'm not good enough to rely on crooked tricks? I'm not afraid that I will damage my virtue!" Jiang Linmu frowned.

"Don't play dumb, you didn't steal the demon pill, who else could it be?"

Ying Lin thought, it really wasn't him, Jiang Linmu passed out after injuring the wolf demon yesterday, and the wolf demon ran away in front of them.

Jiang Linmu said unforgivingly: "It's strange what you said, did you raise the wolf demon or was it born by you? Even if I took the demon pill, it was based on my ability, so why would it be a steal? Otherwise You call it son, listen to it, and see if it should be accepted or not?"

"You!" Elder Yuqing blushed angrily.

"Whatever you think." Jiang Linmu said indifferently, "It's not me anyway."

"Don't talk nonsense to the deity! It's not you, could it be that the wolf demon swallowed the demon pill by himself?"

"Maybe it's like this. With your old mule face, you still want someone else's demon pill. If it were me, I wouldn't give it to you even if I shattered the demon pill."

"..."

What he said was really vicious, Elder Yuqing flicked his sleeves and left directly with the sword.

His two apprentices also followed closely to catch up with the master.

"Look, he's just so stingy, he's definitely going to sue the old suzerain." Jiang Linmu sneered, comforting Ying Lin and said, "We're not in a hurry, we'll leave tomorrow morning, and we'll have to go back in the middle of the night by now. None of us opened the door."

"So Master means..."

"Go to Niuniu's house for another night."

When I went back in the evening, Niu Niu's lame grandma was waiting anxiously at the door.

"Look at this dirty little face, where did Niuniu go today?"

"Grandpa Li's house."

"How could Niuniu go there?" She glanced at Jiang Linmu reproachfully: "The Immortal Elder is also a sick person, it will be even more difficult if he is in bad luck!"

Jiang Linmu touched his nose, not embarrassed to tell her that his injury had healed long ago.

"Come on, all of you worship the Bodhisattva with me!"

She held Niu Niu with one hand, and Jiang Linmu's arm with the other, leading them to the inner room.

Ying Lin followed behind.

In the inner room was a statue of a Bodhisattva, carved of wood, and the workmanship was not very good, but it had been wiped clean and covered with a red cloth to keep it from dust.

"I'm going to put incense on the Bodhisattva..." the old woman muttered, and took the incense to the kitchen to find a fire.

"Grandma said that the Bodhisattva is merciful and will keep our family safe and sound!" Niu Niu said in a soft voice, clasped her hands together, and kowtowed firmly to the ground three times.

"Isn't brother knocking?"

Jiang Linmu immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Of course I kowtow! I've been unlucky recently, so I ask the Bodhisattva to give me some European energy. Amen... No, Amitabha."

Ying Lin was at a loss, and Master started to say nonsense again?

"I remember that Master doesn't seem to believe in these things, right?" Ying Lin asked softly.

Cultivators generally believe in seniors who have escaped into the immortal gate - a bit like mortal scholars, those people will worship those who have won the exam before, hoping to have a good grade in the imperial examination like them.

He remembered that Jiang Linmu laughed at them for not cultivating well, why were they thinking wildly every day?

"Of course not, I also had faith before."

Ying Lin choked for a moment: "What do you believe in, Master?"

"God of Wealth."

"..."
