#36 - Chapter 36: The town is foggy and rumors are rampant
However, along the way, he observed many people, and his brow furrowed.
Suddenly, the old man's voice interrupted Li Guanqi's thoughts.
"Immortal Master, this is Wang Ergou's residence."
"He died just the day before yesterday and hasn't been cleaned up yet."
Li Guanqi nodded slightly.
Then, he walked straight to the door and slowly pushed it open!
Creak!
The dilapidated wooden door made a creaking sound.
This sound made one's hair stand on end, and the scene inside the door made Li Guanqi take a breath of cold air.
The stench of blood assaulted his senses, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply.
The scene before him made goosebumps rise on Li Guanqi's arms.
A robust man was hanging upside down from the roof beam by a rope.
A pair of scissors was tied to his wrist, and a ball of flesh was pierced onto the scissors.
Looking at the man's eyes, only two bloody holes remained.
All the man's toes had been cut off!
The fatal wound was the extremely long cut on his neck.
However, there were also many scratches around the wound.
It seemed that the scissors were not sharp enough, causing repeated cuts.
Fresh blood covered the entire floor, which had become quite viscous.
This was the first time Li Guanqi had seen such a situation. He originally thought that the task was just to catch the evil ghost.
But now it seems that things are not as simple as he thought.
He turned around and looked around, finding that the man's home was very messy and noisy, but that was all.
Then, Li Guanqi took out a Cleansing Talisman, and the talisman instantly burned as his Yuan Qi surged.
The moment the talisman touched the blood on the ground, it instantly burst into flames!
As the flames burned, wisps of black smoke emanated from the blood.
After a while, the black smoke dissipated, and the cold aura in the room gradually disappeared.
Everyone nodded slightly when they saw this.
They thought that the Great Xia Sword Sect had sent a young boy to perfunctorily deal with the matter.
The previous few people had just looked at it and didn't see anything special either.
Standing in place, Li Guanqi frowned slightly when he saw the density of the black smoke.
He murmured, "It seems to be a powerful guy!"
Then, Li Guanqi softly said, "Now you can have someone clean up the body and bury it as soon as possible."
"The weather is hot, and the body will stink after a while."
The old man quickly called for help to clean up.
Then, the old man quickly came to the young man's side and asked in a slightly uneasy voice, "Immortal Master, are you confident in dealing with this evil ghost?"
Li Guanqi smiled slightly and said softly, "Whether I'm confident or not, I have to try to find out."
"I should stay here for a few days. The Yang Qi is too strong during the day, and the evil ghost will not come out to do evil."
"I'll try him tonight!"
Li Guanqi said this to reassure the villagers in the town.
However, he really didn't have much confidence in this matter, so he asked the sword box, "Sword Spirit, do you have any good ideas?"
After a while, the Sword Spirit's voice sounded in Li Guanqi's mind.
"Tsk, I thought you were so capable, but it turns out you're just putting on a brave face here."
"It's simple."
"When it's two quarters past midnight, you just need to sit in the south by the window and cultivate, and she will naturally be drawn out."
Li Guanqi asked a little puzzled, "Why midnight?"
The Sword Spirit's voice seemed very impatient to explain this question.
"Midnight is the time when Yin Qi is at its peak in the twelve hours of the day."
"The location by the window is of course convenient for her to attack. As for cultivation..."
"Your virgin body is like a lantern in the night, and cultivation is just adding a few more candles."
After speaking, the Sword Spirit suddenly reminded, "But you don't have to worry, I can take action this time!"
Li Guanqi was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the other party to take action.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What? Are you worried about me and want to take action yourself?"
Silence.
After a long time, the Sword Spirit's voice said with seven parts disdain and three parts arrogance.
"It seems you are really blind and can't even recognize your own weight."
"Worried about you? I'm afraid I won't have a place to absorb Yuan Power in the future."
"I can also absorb some of the evil resentment power of the evil ghost. I always have to devour some power from other places before you build your foundation."
Then, the Sword Spirit's voice gradually subsided.
Li Guanqi smiled and murmured, "It's stable."
But there was still a long time before dark. Li Guanqi first ate a local meal with the people in the town.
The spicy feeling made his appetite explode.
Xingyun Town is located on a plain, surrounded by mountains, which causes it to be shrouded in a thin mist all year round, and the air is very humid.
Using chili peppers with dishes can induce sweating and remove the cold from the body.
In the afternoon, Li Guanqi casually wandered around the town.
Because of his arrival, the villagers who had originally stayed behind closed doors dared to go out for a walk while it was still dark.
During this afternoon, he also learned some other news from other people's mouths.
Squatting on the side of the road, Li Guanqi suddenly felt as if things appeared before his eyes like a mess.
The first person to die was named Zhang Daniu, who used to have a mute wife who disappeared many years ago.
Later, Zhang Daniu found a widow in the town, and the two of them lived together.
After Zhang Daniu died, the widow disappeared.
After that, all the people who died were men in the village, some were bachelors, and some had families.
"Hey... what is the relationship between these people?"
Just as Li Guanqi was worried, he suddenly perked up his ears.
Not far away on the side of the road, two middle-aged women were holding melon seeds in their hands, their eyes constantly drifting around.
The two were whispering something, with exaggerated expressions.
Even though they were dozens of feet apart, Li Guanqi felt that the two of them must be discussing something big.
Taking some mountain pastries from the storage bag, Li Guanqi naturally approached.
"What are you sisters chatting about? I have two pieces of mountain pastry here. I really can't eat them, so why don't you two try them."
The middle-aged fat woman immediately beamed with joy, and quickly reached out to take the pastries, smiling and said, "Oh, little Immortal Master, you are... why are you being so polite."
Li Guanqi smiled slightly and asked, "I just saw the two of you sisters chatting enthusiastically, can you tell me about it too?"
The slightly thin woman next to her glanced around and leaned to Li Guanqi's ear and said, "What can we say, it's just about the people who died!"
Li Guanqi raised his eyebrows, and his voice unconsciously lowered a lot, and whispered, "Do you know some other inside stories?"
As soon as the fat woman heard the words "inside story", she immediately looked around like a thief.
Seeing that there was no one around, she gently spit out two words to Li Guanqi.
"Retribution!"
