Early landing in the world of martial arts

Hearing Gu Changan's words, Li Ding was taken aback.

"Really, is it really a monster?"

"I didn't say that. Although there is a monster's evil spirit, but more of it is the mana fluctuation of a crooked practitioner. Maybe it is a practitioner?"

Speaking of this, Gu Changan suddenly grinned.

Looking out, looking at the whole mountain village.

At this time, the setting sun fell, and the red afterglow shrouded the village, which seemed to cover the village with a layer of red film, giving a faint feeling of indistinctness.

The noise of the people in the ear seems to be far away.

This made Gu Chang'an couldn't help but smile, and said with emotion: "But whether it's a monster or a practitioner, since this case is committed, they will hide it if they think about it. It's very difficult to find him..."

"That's what the lord said."

Li Ding nodded in agreement.

"However...whether it's a monster or a practitioner, since they harm people, they always have motives, don't you think so?" Gu Changan said suddenly.

"That's what the lord said."

Li Ding nodded repeatedly.

"Order to go down and see who these four people have been in contact with in the past ten days, where they have been and what they have done, and investigate everything clearly." Gu Changan said softly.

……

……

ps: Maybe I didn't explain it clearly. Regarding the Xu family's risky pursuit of Gu Chang'an, the reason for the risk is that the eldest daughter of the Xu family, Xu Yiyao, is alive and dead, and she suspects that she was raped by the flower-picking robber. If this matter gets out, the Liu family will definitely The engagement was terminated, and if there was no such thing, even if Xu Yiyao died, the Liu family would not be able to terminate the engagement.

Once the marriage contract is terminated and the Xu family has no ancestors, the other two families will definitely attack, and the Xu family is bound to decline.

From Xu Yicheng's point of view, he naturally did not want the Xu family to decline or even collapse, so he could only take the risk of killing the protagonist in order to block the news.

In this way, killing Gu Chang'an would certainly be dangerous, and the Xuanjing Division might track it down, but compared to the crisis of the Xu family, this risk is still worth taking, at least for Xu Yicheng.

Seeing that everyone expressed doubts about this plot, I wondered if I didn't explain clearly in the text...

Chapter 64 each with their own minds

The catch is fast.

After some visits, they recorded all the activities that the four people witnessed in the past ten days that night.

"Dead one, a villager in Xiaohe Village, named Wang Wei, 21 years old, was a scholar with a reputation as a child. He has been studying at home for the past ten days. During this period, he once went out to visit friends. He left home in the afternoon of the same day and returned at noon the next day."

"The second deceased, a villager in Xiaohe Village, named Li Dayou, 31 years old, a hunter, has often hunted in the mountains for the past ten days, and sometimes lived in the mountains and forests. He only went to the city once to buy daily necessities."

"The third deceased, a villager of Xiaohe Village, named Gong Chenghua, was 26 years old, a martial artist, a local knight in Zongheng Township. In the last ten days before his death, he went out to gather with his friends many times. The last time was to drink with his friends all night. at home."

"The fourth deceased, a villager in Xiaohe Village, named Jin Dacheng, 24 years old, a friend of Gong Chenghua, died together."

Li Ding briefly reported the news he had obtained.

Gu Changan looked at the visit record in his hand and listened to Li Ding's report, showing a contemplative expression. After a long time, he said: "Did Gong Chenghua and Jin Dacheng go out before they died? In other words , Did they just come back from outside before they drank all night?"

"Not bad!"

Li Ding nodded and said.

Gu Changan nodded slightly, and vaguely had a guess.

"Did your lord find something?"

Seeing Gu Changan's expression, Li Ding couldn't help asking curiously.

"It is indeed some speculation, but it needs to be verified..."

Speaking of this, Gu Changan suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Ding, and said: "At present, we can only know from the interview materials in hand that the four deceased have no other relationship other than being in the same village, and since they Died on the same day, then there must be some connection."

"I noticed that in these materials, all four of them have gone out. The scholar Wang Wei went out to visit friends, the hunter Li Dayou went to the city to buy daily necessities, and Gong Chenghua and Jin Dacheng came back from other places to drink. In other words, Before they died, they all came back from the outside... May I ask Inspector Li, how many roads are there to go out of Xiaohe Village? How many roads lead to the county town?"

"In addition, where did Gong Chenghua and Jin Dacheng come back from, and whether their route back to Xiaohe Village overlaps with that of the scholar Wang Wei and the hunter Li Dayou, and whether there is anything in the overlapping journey? Weird place!"

"I think...if we figure this out, maybe we are not far from the truth and the murderer!"

When he said this, Gu Chang'an suddenly showed a smile that was not a smile.

It's just this look, but it's fleeting.

As for Li Ding, after hearing this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face.

Li Ding, who has been working in the public office for so many years and even took the position of patrol inspector, is naturally not an ordinary person, so naturally he immediately thought of the key point.

So he immediately pressed the waist knife excitedly, and said anxiously: "Lieutenant Gu, wait a moment, I will go to ask!"

With that said, he turned and ran away.

Gu Chang'an nodded slightly, looking at the back of the other party leaving, he couldn't help showing a look of interest on his face.

In front of his eyes, a line of information appeared.

【Name】: Li Ding

[Identity]: Patrol inspector of Baisha County, corpse puppet

[Rank]: Fanpin

[Level]: Level 3 of the Physical Realm

[Attributes]: Qi and blood 34, mana 0, spirit 1

[Talent]: None

[Martial Arts]: Slightly.

……

"A thief shouts, catch a thief..."

Looking at the other party's message, Gu Changan shook his head and laughed.

It has to be said that in this game world, NPC information can be regarded as a golden finger-you can check the other party's information anytime and anywhere, and the identity camp can be seen at a glance.

This Li Ding, if it wasn't because he was able to check the other party's identity, he might have really been deceived by his acting skills.

Who would have thought?

On the surface, a patrol inspector in a county was unknowingly refined into a corpse puppet behind his back!

Of course, what Gu Changan was curious about was not this, what he was curious about was what was the plan of the man behind the scenes who was standing behind Li Ding and instigating Li Ding.

From Li Ding's account and the information of the deceased, it seems that the man behind the scenes wanted to lead them to a certain place.

It wasn't aimed at him alone, Gu Chang'an, if someone else came here today, he would still do the same.

What is his purpose in doing this?

Is it just to absorb the essence of warriors?

"I'd like to see, what the hell is this guy who hides his head and shows his tail trying to do!"

Thinking of this, Gu Changan rubbed his fingers against the handle of the 'Autumn Kill' knife, and sneered at the corner of his mouth.

After the fog is lifted, everything will be revealed!

After a cup of tea, Li Ding hurried back.

When he arrived in front of Gu Chang'an, he said out of breath, "Check, we found it!"

"When the four of them returned from their trips, there was indeed overlap. Among the overlapped sections, the only one that is [-] miles northwest of Xiaohe Village and near the bank of the Jinshui River is the Zhenhe Temple that is most suspicious!"

……

"My lord, this person is in the village ahead, should we rush over there and kill Gu Chang'an!"

In the area more than ten miles outside Xiaohe Village, Shaping Town, a group of seven people were all riding tall horses, and one of them said to the man in the middle who was wearing brocade.

The man in brocade clothes is naturally Xu Yicheng who came after him all the way.

Hearing this, before Xu Yicheng finished speaking, Xu Dao who was beside him took the words: "No!"

"There are many people in Xiaohe Village. Gu Chang'an is a member of Xuanjing Division. If we kill him, Xuanjing Division will be furious. Once we let them find out any news, our Xu family will be wiped out!"

Hearing this, a person next to him said indifferently: "Find out the news? Just massacre the village, massacre the entire village, no matter how powerful he is, Xuan Jing, can he still find out the lies?"

"ridiculous!"

Xu Dao said coldly: "Xuanjing Division is the top force in my dynasty, how can you imagine it with your vision?"

"What's more, with so many people in a village, who can guarantee that no one will be left behind in the massacre? It's obvious that things can be done more secretly, so why do you have to do things that are thankless?!"

After hearing Xu Dao's words, Xu Yicheng also made a decision.

He waved his hand, interrupted the conversation of several people, and said softly: "Old Xu is right, we have to be cautious when facing Xuan Jingsi! Why not lie in ambush on the only way Gu Changan must pass back to Guangyang County , once he comes back, kill him immediately, and then shatter his bones and ashes without leaving any traces. After the matter is completed, we will immediately disperse and return to Qingzhu County."

"Young master, this is an old saying."

Xu Dao nodded in agreement, but then said: "If it's just an ambush, you should choose a good place."

"Don't worry about that."

Xu Yicheng said: "When I came here earlier, I saw that we passed a temple, which seemed to be the only road here, and it was not far from here, so we laid an ambush there first."

Hearing the words, several other people couldn't help but look at each other, and then nodded in agreement.

……

……

Chapter 65 Zhenhe Temple

The Jinshui River stretches for hundreds of miles, runs through the entire territory of Guangyang County, passes through the Lianyun Mountains, and leads to other counties.

It was evening at this time, the setting sun in the west was about to fall, and the bright moon in the east was rising in the east. For a while, the sun and the moon shone on each other, shining on the Jinshui River.

Along the Jinshui River, there is a Zhenhe Temple.

The origin of this Zhenhe temple is still according to legend that there was a dragon in the Jinshui River. When the water turned into a dragon, the flood spread and flooded the whole county, causing a great evil.

And the place of suppression is in this town river temple.

When was it built, because it is too old to be verified, but according to the county records, the incense of Zhenhe Temple was once prosperous, but then it gradually declined.

By now, it has been completely decadent.

Gu Chang'an led a group of people and arrived in front of Zhenhe Temple. He saw that the gate and courtyard wall of the temple had been broken, and there was a plaque hanging on the main entrance.

At the entrance of the temple, there are two strange beasts carved out of big stones. I can't tell what kind they are, but they look hideous and quite terrifying.

What's even more strange is that after so many years, the temple has been dilapidated and collapsed, but these two big stone beasts were not damaged in the slightest. It was just because they were contaminated with dust that the color became dull and deep. Add a touch of depressive terror.

At this time, the sun had completely sunk, the bright moon was shining, and the night completely covered the sky.

In the darkness, the dilapidated Zhenhe Temple looked like a monster that was about to choose someone to eat, and it was opening its mouth wide, waiting for the prey to come in.

"Brother An, do we really want to go in?"

Gu Xiaoliu looked at the temple, feeling a little timid in his heart, he couldn't help pulling Gu Changan's clothes, and said in a low voice.

Gu Changan ignored it, stood in front of the temple gate, and looked at it carefully.

At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blows, it is already autumn, and it is a bit cool, but it obviously has no effect on Gu Changan, but suddenly, he can't help but feel a jump in his heart.

"My lord... what are you looking at?"

At this time, Li Ding suddenly came over and said in a low voice.

He stood a few steps away from Gu Chang'an, under the night, he couldn't see his face clearly, and his voice also came faintly, seeming distant and near, with a hint of emptiness.

"I'm watching my heart."

Gu Changan said: "It's not a human heart, but a heart."

"heart?"

Li Ding froze for a moment.

Gu Chang'an ignored it and went straight forward.

Pushing open the door, Gu Changan was taken aback when he saw the inside.
