"What? Thirty villages?"
Qin Shi's black eyes tore through the space like a biting cold wind, and a burst of rage exploded.
Hearing the waiter's words, his heart felt like it was falling into the deep sea, and he fell into long-term thinking and anxiety. It seemed that these massacres were no coincidence.
"What is this murderer doing? Is he seeking revenge?"
The waiter shook his head and sighed: "At first, everyone thought it was a vendetta, but after such a long investigation, it was discovered that there was no connection at all between the more than 30 villages where the incidents happened one after another, and they were all ordinary. People, if you keep your peace, you will never offend any enemies."
"This murderer is simply crazy and has no pattern. Maybe he will be killed in a village in the east today and in the north tomorrow."
Qin Shi frowned, and he found that this case was far from as simple as he imagined.
If it is true, as the waiter said, that the murderer was killing people numbly and aimlessly, wouldn't he be a beast inferior to humans and beasts
"No one cares?"
Looking around, the waiter lowered his voice and said, "How come no one cares about it? Even the Imperial City was alarmed by this matter. Not long ago, the superiors specially arranged for ten powerful men in the Xuanling Realm to come down for this matter, but it only took half a year. Even after that, the case remains unsolved and the murderer is at large.”
"Ten Xuanling realms didn't catch him?" Qin Shi clicked his tongue.
The waiter nodded sternly: "Well, it is rumored that the murderer's strength is very terrifying. No one has seen his true appearance. They only know that he is an elusive black shadow with black air all over his body, like a demon from the underworld. Even the ten powerful men sent by the empire were ultimately defeated by him, suffering heavy casualties."
"Is that so?"
Qin Shi held the teacup in his hand and tapped it on the wooden table.
Along with the knocking of the tea cup, every time it fell, Qin Shi's heart collided like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, and a torrential fire spurted out.
They regard life as a piece of grass, everyone can get it and kill it.
A flash of murderous intention flashed in his black eyes, and Qin Shi secretly made up his mind to find the murderer as soon as the Shangguan family's competition was over in three days.
This matter cannot be delayed, otherwise with this murderer's consistent style, hundreds more lives will die tragically under his ruthless trampling.
"Daddy."
During the conversation between Qin Shi and the waiter, a crisp sound was heard halfway up the first floor, and Xiaomi Cai leaned on the handle of the escalator and waved to Qin Shi.
Seeing Xiaomi Cai, he had almost grasped the matter. Qin Shi didn't linger any longer. He penetrated into the space ring with his spiritual sense and took out a high-grade spiritual crystal and threw it towards the waiter: "Okay, I understand, this is for you. reward."
"Thank you, uncle!"
The waiter's eyes lit up, and he grinned from ear to ear after catching the spirit crystal.
"Remember, don't judge books by their appearance in the future."
Qin Shi shrugged and wrapped up his black robe, leaving only a broken black shadow immediately, and followed Xiaomi Cai towards the second floor.
Looking at Qin Shi leaving, the waiter raised his head and pursed the corners of his chapped lips, showing a little envy and respect in his eyes.
This time the respect comes from the heart.
Of course, little did he know that in the following months and years, the entire Eastern region, even the Chiyan Empire and the whole world, would tremble for this humble young man.
After going up to the second floor, Qin Shi and Xiaomi Cai entered Jade Rakshasa's wing.
The room was kept very clean by Jade Rakshasa. She saw a smile on Qin Shi's cold face after he came in. She made a pot of tea and filled it for Qin Shi.
"Where did you go this night?"
Jade Rakshasa sat quietly next to Qin Shi, supporting his chin with one hand and looking at Qin Shi.
"You know?" Qin Shi said unexpectedly.
There was blame in her beautiful eyes, but more of it was worry: "Do you think we won't know anything after you set a barrier for us?"
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Haha, I really can't satisfy you with anything."
After careful consideration, he told Jade Rakshasa about his cooperation with Shangguan Leng. There was nothing to hide about it, and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to.
After hearing what happened three days later, Jade Rakshasa frowned slightly, lowered her head and thought for a while: "Shitou, did you agree?"
"Yeah." Qin Shi nodded.
"Since you agreed, I won't say much more, but remember to be careful in everything, the Shangguan family is not simple." Jade Rakshasa said seriously.
Qin Shi looked at Jade Rakshasa's charming face and pursed his lips. He rarely saw Jade Rakshasa be so serious, so he solemnly agreed: "An Xin, when the competition is over in three days and we have solved the murderer who is at large, I will I’ll accompany you to Xuan Palace.”
"Well, I believe you."
I believe in you, these three words are heartbreaking.
The next three days passed very quickly.
After the previous events, whether it was the waiter or the dignitaries in Lengcheng, their opinions on Qin Shi all changed.
So these three days, Qin Shi lived very comfortably, and finally fulfilled his wish for half a year, which was to sleep comfortably.
Of course, occasional relaxation is rest, and long-term slackness is laziness. After a peaceful night's rest, Qin Shi started practicing as before the next day.
The Star Meteor Hegemonic Body Technique, the Sweet Rain and Dew Technique, and the Xuantian Bible.
Coupled with the gravitational dilution of the Holy Spirit Flower, Qin Shi finally smoothed out the spiritual disorder caused by just breaking through the Xuanling Realm. A thick and magnificent sense of oppression penetrated the beams of the room. When he opened his black eyes again, they were full of coldness and mystery.
…
The third day, early morning.
The first ray of morning light shone down from the east, saving Lengcheng from the darkness.
As soon as dawn fell, Qin Shi felt rapid footsteps coming from the door of the room, and a boy knocked on the door and came in with a breath.
Qin Shi was stunned when he saw the young boy. Isn't that young man the young master who attacked Feng Hen with the nine-day phoenix dance three days ago
The boy was also shocked when he saw Qin Shi: "Is it you?"
"Haha, we are really enemies on the same road."
Qin Shi shrugged and was stunned when he looked at the cards in the boy's hand: "Are you from Shangguan Leng?"
"Gulu..."
Obviously, it was difficult for the boy to accept this fact for a while, but he still nodded bravely: "Well, Brother Leng asked me to pick up Brother Shi Qin."
Qin Shi grinned: "Haha, brother, you have used all the honorifics. Aren't you awesome? Why don't you scold me now?"
"Brother, please stop joking. It wasn't the flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple before. Don't take it personally. If my brother Leng finds out about this, he will have to break my legs." The boy said helplessly.
With a wave of his palm, Qin Shi put the black robe on his body. He was just talking and joking with the boy, and he would definitely not argue with him.
But while waiting for Jade Luosha and Xiaomi Cai to wash up, Qin Shi leaned in the corridor with his arms folded. Through previous contacts, he knew that the boy was called Shangguan Yinyue, and asked: "Shangguan Yinyue, right?" Do you know who the person you bullied three days ago was?"
"You mean that crazy beggar?"
Shangguan Yinyue was startled, but as soon as the voice came out, he felt a chill, and immediately changed his words: "Well, he's not a beggar, he's the red-haired boy's head office, right?"
The red-haired guy? Qin Shi thought about it and realized that the seal was indeed a red hair bundle, and then he nodded with a smile.
"We don't know either, but he came to Lengcheng around the same time as you, eldest brother, less than a day or two apart. At first, no one took him seriously, thinking he was a refugee from a nearby village. But later we were surprised to find that his The ability to withstand blows is particularly strong, no matter how serious the injury is, it will heal immediately in half a day.”
"Is there such a thing?"
Qin Shi frowned. If it is true as Shangguan Yinyue said, then the self-healing ability of this seal is too powerful, right
long time? Even the rain and dew cannot do it.
"It's true. That's why we wanted to catch him and use him as a live target to practice martial arts. Who would have thought..."
"Who would have thought that it would be bad to get out of the way and meet a troublesome guy like me, right?" Shangguan Yinyue didn't say what he said next, but Qin Shi curled his lips and could think of it.
"hey-hey!"
Shangguan Yinyue giggled.
Jade Rakshasa and Xiaomi Cai have finished washing up. Both of them are dressed very beautifully today. Jade Rakshasa is wearing a white Shengxue long skirt with pink peonies embroidered under the skirt, which is rolled up little by little.
Xiaomi Cai is still dressed in colorful clouds, but her natural beauty has caused many beautiful boys to fall into the abyss. For example, Shangguan Yinyue, who was next to Qin Shi, saw her heart beat faster after seeing Xiaomi Cai. She slipped at the top of the stairs and turned around. The ones caught in the circle rolled down.
For this reason, Qin Shi once again lamented that what the ancients said is true: "Since ancient times, beauty has been a source of disaster."
But who would have thought that before he could sigh with emotion, the Jade Rakshasa next to him made a clever move, stretched out his waist and twisted it hard, and said quietly: "Since ancient times, beauties have been so miserable, all because of you self-righteous people." A gift from a heroic heartless man!”
Suddenly, Qin Shi was speechless.
…
This day is the triennial grand ceremony of the Shangguan family. As the largest family in Lengcheng, the Shangguan family went to visit them one after another early in the morning. It was very lively.
Under the leadership of Shangguan Yinyue, Qin Shi and the others also left the restaurant and walked toward the center of Lengcheng. The streets were bustling with traffic, and the direction they were heading was roughly similar to theirs.
Entering Shangguan's house, Qin Shi marveled again. Every mountain is really higher than the other. Shangguan's house is indeed one of the four great families in the East. It covers an area of tens of thousands of meters. The courtyard in front of it is almost the same as that of the ancient city.
The courtyard is full of green, with beautiful mountains and clear waters, birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. There is a lake in the center, and in the center is a blue ice lotus blooming, with a disturbing fragrance.
Going around the courtyard, there is a sea of people.
In the middle of the sea of people, there is a thousand-meter arena. Surrounding the arena are terraced seats. One by one, the heads of Lengcheng's families are sitting in it. Facing east is a pavilion, and on the pavilion are people from the Shangguan family.
boom!
The ceremony kicked off when Qin Shi arrived. After a loud noise, a bright spiritual light barrier rose around the arena. Immediately, an old man in his seventies stood with his hands behind his back and fell down on the pavilion, rolling the noble man. The dragon's robe made a clanging sound, and he jumped onto the ring in one step.
Jade Rakshasa's eyes narrowed: "Shangguan Ba!"
"Is he Shangguan Ba?" Qin Shi looked solemnly, detecting his spiritual power invisibly, and immediately frowned: "The peak of the Xuanling Realm?"
Shangguan Ba stepped onto the ring, raised his hands, looked around, and called out a rich Sanskrit voice: "First of all, thank you all guests for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the triennial ceremony of my Shangguan family."
"I announce: the ceremony has officially begun!"
