After an unknown period of time, Bai Duo woke up from his coma.
He slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the rotten roof, and even the skin of the wooden beams had fallen off.
The windows were also broken, and cold wind blew inside.
The white morning light shone on his face through the cracks in the wall. His dark pupils gradually shrank, and a stinging sensation made him turn over and get out of bed.
He himself also changed into a coarse rag.
"Am I being fished out of the river?" Bai Duo walked out of the house and found himself in a strange town.
The town is not prosperous, but rather dilapidated. It is surrounded by rolling hills and there is only one path connecting it to the outside.
There was light snow falling in the sky, and the owner who rescued him was nowhere to be found, and Bai Duo was not ready to wait for him to come back.
Instead, he walked in the small town against the wind and snow.
There are only a few people scattered in the desolate street scene, but the word "福" cut from red paper is posted in front of every house.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, time flies so fast.
It can be seen that even though the people here are poor and have no money to buy fancy red lanterns and holiday gifts, they still love life.
However, when Bai Duo came to an open space, he realized that everyone in the town had gathered here.
He took advantage of his height to directly see the scene in front of him. There were five or six corpses lying on the ground, and their hearts and mouths were empty.
Apparently he died from having his heart ripped out.
"This is somewhat similar to the corpse in Dongshan Village. Could it be that the demonic martial arts cultivator I met that night is hiding in this town?"
Bai Duo recalled the scene of the corpse beast attacking the village. When he examined a female corpse, he discovered that she was not killed by the corpse beast. The real fatal wound was in the heart.
He even almost had a conflict with the husband of the female corpse.
But none of this matters anymore, because all the people in Dongshan Village are dead.
The important thing is the magic master hiding in the dark. Since the range of his murder can reach Dongshan Village, it means that this town is not far from the place where he fell off the cliff.
Then it is possible for Shikui to touch here at night.
So you definitely can't stay here for long.
After thinking about his general situation, Bai Duo stopped lingering in the crowd and left quickly.
"We have guests arriving!"
Bai Duo was hungry, so he followed the aroma of wine in the air and entered a tavern. This was probably the only entertainment venue in the town.
The inside of the tavern was very dark, with only the brazier in front of the counter barely lighting up the environment.
The boss only greeted Bai Duo when he came in, and then fell silent, just staring at him quietly.
A strange smile appeared on Bai Duo's lips, but he did not explode directly.
Instead, he looked up and down at this black shop.
"Are the decorations hanging on the wall made of human bones?"
Bai Duo stood in front of the counter with his tall body. His shadow directly covered the boss. In the dim environment, only Bai Duo's bright eyes could be seen.
"Guess." The boss glanced at him, not looking shocked at all.
"Hahahaha! Interesting! Interesting!" Bai Duo laughed wildly and sat in a corner with his majesty. "I like your place very much. If you have any good wine or food, please go up and greet me!"
"Boy, are you blind? There is someone here!" The eyes of the several strong men who were at the table were filled with terrifying ferocity, as if they could eat Bai Duo alive.
"Hey, third and fourth, don't be rude. I see that this brother is very impressive, so we can share a table with him.
But you have to pay for the drinks yourself. "
A pair of big hands came out from the darkness of the tavern, one pressed on Bai Duo's shoulder, and the other on the shoulder of the man named 'Bald Old San'.
I saw a big face covered with tattoos peeking out from the darkness, staring at Bai Duo with a pair of goldfish eyes full of aggression, but his tone was very easy-going.
"The food and drinks you asked for are here." The owner of the shop put a plate of soy beef and an unopened bottle of Huadiao on the table, neither salty nor bland, and then added: "It's just plain food, not as delicious as Chang'an, so just make do with it." .”
Bai Duo tore open the seal, raised his head and took a sip of wine. He looked at the shop owner without leaving any trace, and found that he also had a tattoo on the side of his face.
"I'm not from Chang'an." Bai Duo said suddenly.
The shop owner stopped wiping the table and remained silent, but he felt that his shoulders were a lot looser.
"Brother is very noble. If he is not from Chang'an, then he is a big boss in Jinling."
The strong man with goldfish eyes raised his face and pretended to praise.
Bai Duo shook his head again, "I'm not from Jinling either."
His voice echoed in the narrow tavern, and everyone was silent except for the sound of Bai Duo chewing beef.
"This kid is really calm." The bald old man couldn't bear it anymore. This kind of mutual testing scene should be over. He said quickly: "I just want to ask you, are you damn fast?"
Bai Duo ate until he was three-thirds full, drank all the large altar of flower sculptures with a bang, and slapped it heavily on the table.
"Then are you a wanted criminal?" Bai Duo continued to say nothing, and Bai Duo completely broke through this layer of window paper.
Swish swish—!
Many people stood up in the darkness, and the sound of blades being unsheathed was heard one after another. It seemed that there were about a dozen wanted criminals hiding in the tavern.
"I'm not a fast horse." Bai Duo said again, his words slightly relaxing the tense atmosphere, "But I am a fast catcher."
"I'm kidding you, second uncle! Are you jumping around with me over and over again?! I don't care if you are a fast horse or a policeman. As long as you enter this store today, you will have to kneel down!"
The goldfish-eyed man didn't give Bai Duo the slightest chance to react, and he just raised his knife and struck.
Bang——!
Before the blade fell on Bai Duo, the goldfish-eyed man was punched away, smashed directly through the earthen wall of the hotel, and fell outside.
The sunlight passed through the damaged wall and illuminated all the wanted criminals in the tavern.
"Wucao! Damn old Hu, why hasn't your sweat medicine taken effect yet?! Look at how my elder brother was beaten like a dead dog!"
The bald third child took advantage of the excuse of looking after his boss and started running out.
As a result, he fell to the ground after running a few steps and lost his voice.
"Don't look at your boss. He is dead, and so are you." Bai Duo was playing with a pair of mahogany chopsticks in his hand, and it was only a chopstick that killed the bald third.
The originally extremely fragile object became an instant murder weapon in Bai Duo's hands.
"What crimes you have committed in the past, and what chance and coincidence led to you settling here, I don't even want to ask.
I only ask you one question. If you answer it well, you can live. "
Bai Duo's voice was not loud, but it echoed in the ears of the wanted criminals like a judge urging them to die. The killing he said seemed as simple as eating and drinking.
"You...you said that I have been in this town for three or four years. On the surface, I am a tavern owner, but in fact, I am an information dealer.
We all know the news about the underworld and the white people. "
The one who spoke was the tavern owner who just ignored Bai Duo.
Bai Duo chuckled, "Your name is Lao Hu, right? Don't be so shy, I still like your unruly look just now.
You can let so many wanted gangsters escape justice for many years, which shows that you are quite capable.
Let me ask you, have you ever heard of the recent murders of people? Think carefully and answer carefully. This matter happened in your territory. If you say you don't know, don't blame me for getting angry. "
"No, no, no, don't get mad first! I know this. It is said that it was done by people from the devil's path. Those are truly ruthless people.
You have also seen our strength, which is slightly stronger than that of the watchdog. We really don’t dare to meddle in this business. "
Lao Hu looked sad.
"Put away your deathly expression and let me ask you, how much do you know about the identity of the murderer?" Bai Duo's eyes turned cold.
Lao Hu had a troubled face and hesitated for a long time, unable to come up with an explanation.
Whoosh whoosh——
The three shots of Po Yue Nian Kong instantly hit the eyebrows of those wanted criminals. Bai Duo killed three people with just one move.
"How the hell can this be fired continuously?" The bald old man originally planned to make a fuss and run away, but when he saw the shotgun-style attack method, he immediately gave up the idea.
"It's that Yi Cheng! He is in Yi City, not far from the town! Since he took office, people have disappeared in the city and around it.
There are rumors that the parents-in-law on weekdays are actually man-eating demons behind their backs!
Maybe he was the one who sent people to dig out people's hearts and kill them! "
Lao Hu came out with the tray, very worried that Bai Duo would kill him.
"It turns out it's the parent officer. No wonder you hesitate and don't dare to offend. I've got the information I want. You just need to provide me with a map to Yicheng, a good horse, and the money. .
After doing this, I will spare your lives! "
Hearing what Bai Duo said, everyone felt as if they were being pardoned, and soon they had what he wanted.
"Oh, by the way, although you are not as strong as me, but as a big bandit who caused trouble in the past, you must have a lot of secrets, right?
Why don't you give it to me as well? "
What Bai Duo needs most at the moment is new martial arts to improve his strength. It is no longer enough to just rely on his own martial arts.
Many people find it difficult to hear this request.
It’s not that I don’t want to hand it over, it’s just that who would carry the secret book with them.
All the essentials of martial arts are stored in my mind.
In the end, Bai Duo only collected a few books, and the names looked like they were generic, but they were better than nothing.
"Hey, the bald guy was hit by my hidden weapon and he didn't die?!" Bai Duo pretended to be surprised and pointed his finger behind everyone.
"What? The bald old man actually has such strength?"
Following Bai Duo's surprised tone, everyone turned and looked outside the tavern, and found that the bald old man still had a chopstick stuck in the back of his head.
The dead can no longer die.
Suddenly the gangsters' eyes widened, as if they understood something, and they felt a strong murderous intention emerge behind them.
"Rainstorm pear blossom!"
Bai Duo's cold voice came faintly.
...
