Qi Jingzhi was stunned when he heard this. No wonder the gatekeepers had such a strange reaction. Captain Gu warned him directly. It must be because he heard this rumor and suspected that he was sent by the imperial court to drive away evil spirits. The murderer of the Demon Suppressing Academy who rips out people's hearts.
This is no wonder for them. Anyone who has witnessed the horrifying scene of Tengu flying across the sky, seen the city gate shattered to the ground, and heard such horrific rumors, will not believe it immediately even if he does not immediately believe it. Most of them would have doubts in their hearts, but as a police officer from the Linzhou Town Demonic Academy, he had traveled thousands of miles to come, and it was a coincidence that he arrived at the city at this time...Z.br>
Thinking about it this way, the captain of the valley team and the dozens of gatekeepers were actually quite restrained, and it was obvious that they did not fully believe this rumor. This shows that they are much more courageous and knowledgeable than ordinary people like restaurant managers. He is worthy of being an elite soldier of the Dutong Mansion.
"As for the so-called evil ghost "Tie", and the theory of bribing the Tengu with the heart and soul of a living person, it actually matches up with the Tengu's companion in Wan'er's mouth..."
Qi Jingzhi turned this thought around in his mind and felt that it was groundless and not necessarily unreasonable. He immediately asked: "Shopkeeper, have the rumors mentioned what the evil ghost looks like? Has anyone really seen it?"
The face of the restaurant manager became more and more frightened. He looked outside the door and then whispered: "It is said that he is wearing dog skin and has iron claws. He can disembowel a person with one claw and take out the heart and liver! As for the I don't know if anyone has seen it, but there was a lot of commotion last night, and when everyone was standing in the street watching the excitement, many people said the same thing."
"Dog skin with iron claws? Many people say that?"
Wan'er didn't have such details when she mentioned the Tengu Minions, but ordinary people in Jiuzhen County, such as restaurant owners, could describe them so vividly, which made Qi Jingzhi feel more and more wrong.
"There must be someone with ulterior motives behind this matter, otherwise it would have never been possible for it to spread throughout the city so quickly and make it known to everyone in the city. Not only did it spread, but it also pointed the finger directly at the king and the Demon Suppressor without hesitation. hospital!"
"As for the image of "Tie", it was probably a pre-made rhetoric in order to echo the Tengu, or the old Taoist's whereabouts were revealed when chasing the Tengu last night, and someone took advantage of it and used it as a far-fetched idea. "
"Think about it. Since it is an evil spirit that worships Tengu, it is natural for it to wear dog skin and have iron claws, and it will make the listener more convinced."
Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but frown. He really couldn't understand what the person behind this was trying to achieve.
In his opinion, whether it was the mighty Tengu that smashed a city gate last night, or the horrifying rumor that caused a storm in the city, it actually did not cause any substantial casualties, but instead intimidated the people in the city. means mostly.
But so what if it can stir up panic in this county city. There are county troops under the jurisdiction of the Dutong Mansion, the Demon Suppressing Lieutenant's Office, and even a marquis' mansion in the city.
The lame and leprous old Taoist said that An Fenghou, who had a transcendent status in the six states of the East China Sea, must be a very powerful person if you think about it.
Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi shook his head, ordered a few random things to eat, and planned to go to Baiyun Palace to hand over Wei Bao when he arrived, then leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and rush back to find out the whereabouts of his grandfather.
Unexpectedly, not long after that, the restaurant waiter who had been sent to invite Wei Bao suddenly ran back with a look of horror. He only stared at Ban Nu and forgot to look at the road. In his panic, he tripped on the threshold. A fall.
Seeing that he was about to fall hard, Qi Jingzhi swayed and rushed to the door in an instant, reaching out to hold him steady.
It took the rash guy a while to come to his senses and thanked Qi Jingzhi profusely.
"The guest asked you to invite someone, why did you come back in a panic all by yourself?" The shopkeeper on the side saw that his waiter was fine, and after sighing in relief, he quickly yelled.
Hearing this, the little blood that had just returned to the waiter's face immediately disappeared again. He looked at Qi Jingzhi and said with a mournful face: "Sir, I just ran halfway when I heard people on the street spreading rumors that they were from Weijia Alley. They are all dead. The whole alley is full of blood flowing from every house, like a river of blood. Listen to
I can’t even put my foot down! "
The restaurant manager was obviously frightened when he heard this, but he still scolded with a straight face: "What nonsense are you talking about! The Jindao Wei family lives in the Weijia lane, even if it is Mr. Wei, he Not at home, there are many good wielders of swords and sticks in the whole clan, how could he die quietly?"
"It's said all over the streets! It's said that the most blood in the Wei family alley comes from the main house of the Wei family!"
As the man spoke, he tremblingly pointed to the sky with his hand, with an incomprehensible look on his face: "Even the Tengu has appeared, what else is impossible? Maybe it's because Wei Gong killed too many evil spirits in his life, and now While he's not at home..."
"Keep your voice down! Are you so frightened that you're going crazy? Why do you dare to say anything?"
The shopkeeper's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly interrupted. After taking a breath, he asked tremblingly: "How did the Wei family die, but their hearts and souls were taken away by evil spirits?"
"There is such a rumor, but after listening to it for a long time, I haven't heard of anyone seeing it with their own eyes!"
The waiter shook his head, and suddenly saw Qi Jingzhi's frown, and slapped his head: "Oh, not all of them are dead. I heard that Brother Bao, whom the guest officer asked me to invite, is still alive! He is also very lucky. , I was invited by the villagers outside the city to settle matters two days ago, and I only got up early this morning to return to the city, so I dodged a disaster!"
Qi Jingzhi saw that this guy was just hearing everything and knew that he could not get the truth from his mouth. He immediately asked about the shortcut to Weijia Lane, got on Bannu and ran away.
As the sun rose higher and higher, there were more and more pedestrians on the street. When they saw Bannu's strong figure and fierce momentum when running from a distance, they immediately screamed and ran away.
Xu Shi had never run wildly in front of so many people. Bannu soon became proud of himself. He raised his neck and was about to raise his voice. Unexpectedly, he was slapped on the horse's head by Qi Jing, and he immediately let out a high-pitched roar. He turned back and turned into a low whimper that was unclear in his throat.
Qi Jingzhi's eyes fell on his own horse, but what he was thinking about was the angry roar of the old Taoist when he flew into the sky to chase the tengu last night.
The senior seemed to be sure that the other party was a fake, but even if he was a fake, he was definitely not easy to deal with if he could create such a big momentum.
Qi Jingzhi was still confused just now, why the people behind the scenes spent so much effort and made such a big noise, but only did some things that disturbed people's hearts. He didn't want to hear the bad news that Jiuzhen Wei family was almost wiped out in a blink of an eye.
Combined with the many monsters and strange things he saw yesterday, the ominous feeling in the young man's heart became even stronger.
It seemed that the county he was in had fallen into an invisible trap that was tightening suddenly!
