It was late at night, and the biting autumn wind brought a bit of coolness. Liu Qiankun sat alone by the hot spring pool in the garden, closing his eyes and concentrating, holding the earth spirit bead in his palms, slowly absorbing the rich earth essence in it.
The spiritual energy, the white steam rising from the top of the head and the mist on the surface of the pool are blended together, making it difficult to distinguish one from the other.
Liu Qiankun practiced without any hesitation, and there were many male servants and maids around him watching from a distance, and pointing from time to time. Now this young Imperial Master is a mysterious figure in their minds, especially those maids.
Everyone, recalling that scene during the day, can't help but feel a little hot at the base of their ears.
After sitting quietly for an hour, Liu Qiankun opened his eyes. With his deep and clear eyes, he looked at the servants standing around him with their hands hanging. He smiled and said, "Go and rest after you have finished your duties! I don't need anyone to serve me here."
Already!" His tone was very calm, like a gentle breeze blowing by inadvertently.
Everyone left in response, and Liu Qiankun was the only one left in the huge garden of the Imperial Master's Mansion. Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, he suddenly heard a shrill scream not far away.
Ah! The voice is short and sad!
Liu Qiankun's body resembled an arrow, and he was running quickly according to the sound. A black shadow flew through the air, like a big black bird that flashed away.
More than ten male servants and maids formed a circle in front of them. A strong smell of blood hit their nostrils, and Liu Qiankun strode forward with his eyebrows furrowed.
There was a maid lying on the ground, her eyes were wide open, and blood was flowing out from the bloody wound on her throat. A fresh life had long been turned into a wisp of fragrant soul, floating to nowhere!
"What's going on?" Liu Qiankun clenched his fists and his voice was as cold as ice.
"Ghosts... can fly..." A maid replied in a trembling voice with fear on her face.
"What did you think of him when you saw him?" Liu Qiankun asked again in a deep voice, and the dark shadow that had just disappeared flashed through his mind again.
"My lord, I didn't...see...Xiao Xue...walking...at the end..." The maid continued intermittently, unable to speak, and even her body was trembling slightly.
Liu Qiankun frowned. The maid's words were ambiguous, which made him feel a little irritable.
"Sir, I think this is not a ghost, but rather the work of evildoers!" Wu Qing took two steps forward and bowed.
"oh!"
Wu Qing was indeed someone who had seen a lot of people in the world. He was calm and unfazed. He pointed at the maid on the ground and said: "Sir, please look at the wound on Xiao Xue's neck. It is smooth and has no jagged edges. It was clearly caused by someone using a sharp weapon."
Kill, there are two rows of tooth marks on it, from what I can see, it must have been caused by someone cutting the throat with a sharp blade and biting it with teeth in an instant!"
Liu Qiankun took a look at the wound on the maid's throat. It was exactly as Wu Qing said. He couldn't help but admire the butler's keen insight, and the annoyance in his heart became more intense.
Choi! He drew his sword in his hand and said in a low voice to Wu Qing: "Gather everyone in the house together and wait until I come back to make a fuss!" After saying this, his figure suddenly rose and turned into a white rainbow towards the outside of the house.
Take away.
Running aimlessly in the wilderness, the anger in Liu Qiankun's heart has slowly cooled down. There is only endless darkness around him. He can vaguely see the lights in several farmers' homes not far away, and there are still lights in his ears.
From time to time, there were a few chaotic barking sounds.
It seems that the evil maniac has escaped for a long time, and it is futile to continue to look for him.
Just as he was about to turn back to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, a shrill wail came from a mud-brick house not far away, which sounded so harsh in the dark night.
Immediately, he poured spiritual energy into his feet, and his body shot towards the place where the sound came from, like electricity. At the same time, the lights of the surrounding farmers' homes also lit up one after another, and the sounds of chaotic footsteps were heard.
Liu Qiankun rushed to the tile-roofed house and saw the door was ajar. Without saying a word, he kicked the door open and rushed into the house.
The scene in front of him made Liu Qiankun furious. There were two corpses lying on the ground in the house, surrounded by a pungent smell of blood. A man and a woman were lying in a pool of blood. There was a shocking wound on the throat, which was turned out.
Her skin and flesh were all red, and the woman stretched one arm forward with her fingers spread out, as if she wanted to reach out and grab something...
Liu Qiankun looked in the direction where she stretched out her hand. There was a side door at the corner ahead. Just when he was about to rush in to see what was going on, he heard a sinister laughter like a night owl coming from the side door.
"Jie Jie Jie! The little girl's blood is really delicious!"
An old man with a silver beard and bright hair but a sinister face slowly walked out of the side door. The red robe on his body looked particularly strange under the flickering oil lamp in the room.
Liu Qiankun clearly saw that there was still a trace of bright red blood on the corner of the old Taoist's slightly raised mouth!
"It's him, this old guy!" The anger in Liu Qiankun's heart suddenly rose. How could he not be angry when he encountered such a scum who drank human blood.
Hooray! Several big men rushed in from the door, holding hoes and sticks high in their hands. They consciously stood together with Liu Qiankun. Maybe they also thought that the young man with the sword was kinder than the old Taoist priest with a ferocious face.
!
The red-robed old Taoist laughed strangely and said: "Jie Jie! You bunch of reckless people dare to block my way, do you think you have a long life?"
This old man in red robe is none other than the Red Flame Demon King. Ever since he returned from his defeat in the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts, he has been dormant in the mountains on the western outskirts of the imperial capital to recuperate. This evil path has a hobby, which is to give birth to virgin sperm.
Blood.
In recent days, his injuries have improved quite a bit, so he couldn't help but go down the mountain to do evil. Just after he drank the blood of the maid in the Imperial Prefect's house, he felt that it was tasteless (that little Xue was no longer a virgin), so he came to this farmer's house to do evil again. Unexpectedly, this farmer's daughter
But she was an out-and-out yellow-flowered girl. Poor little girl who was more than ten years old died under those strong white teeth.
The arrogance and bloodthirst of the evil realm made Liu Qiankun furious. He pointed his long sword in his hand and shouted: "You are such a dog Taoist priest, you have done such a thing that is worse than a beast. I will kill you if I don't cut off your dog's head and kick it with a ball today."
Mom is not a man!"
Liu Qiankun no longer cared about his image, and began to curse in a skewering of ancient and modern times.
The Red Flame Demon Lord was not angry but smiled and said: "Jie Jie, this cold iron sword in the little kid's hand is not bad. I advise you to obediently offer it to the Taoist Master. Maybe you can keep your body intact!"
"Everyone, stand back, don't lose your life in vain!" Liu Qiankun turned his head and shouted to the farmers beside him.
Those farmers were not fools, and they exited the house knowingly. The Red Flame Demon Lord did not stop him, because he understood that the man in white in front of him was his real enemy...
