I want to cultivate swordsman

The black mist disappeared, and the feeling that shrouded the body as if it was about to tear the soul at any time also disappeared. Xu Zhiqiu took a deep breath, almost blacked out, and fainted on the ground.

Just now, he felt unprecedented fear.

Death is so close.

Although the owner of the wine shop did not reveal his full strength, Xu Zhiqiu was sure that the other party had already touched the level of the Golden Core Realm, and that black banner was even more terrifying.

"Yin Soul Banner, I didn't expect someone to dare to make such a vicious thing before the Qianyuan ban has expired!"

Xu Zhiqiu remembered that there was a record of ghost banners in Qingyangzong's taboo books. This thing is a favorite magic weapon of evil cultivators. It is powerful and relatively easy to make, but the process of making it is too vicious. Only human essence, blood and remnant soul can be refined, which was banned by the entire Qianyuan Dynasty.

If the Yin Soul Banner was really activated just now, it is estimated that there would be no one alive within a radius of ten miles.

Lu Ningshuang said with a cold expression, "Yin Hun Banner, I didn't expect there to be such a powerful evil cultivator in Lin'an County. It seems that this matter has to be reported to the higher authorities."

According to the laws of the Qianyuan Dynasty, as long as evil cultivators appear, Qianyuan monks are obliged to kill them. If they are incompetent, they can report to the top of Tianwei Pavilion. If they collude with evil cultivators, they will be hunted down together. Because almost every evil cultivator's body was covered with the blood of innocent people, which was not tolerated by the Qianyuan royal family.

Now the strength of the wine shop owner is beyond Lu Ningshuang's ability to solve, so he can only report to the higher authorities.

Xu Zhiqiu was not from Tianwei Pavilion, so he didn't express any opinion. He wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with his sleeve. At this time, Lu Ningshuang looked over, took out a small porcelain bottle from his pouch and threw it at Xu Zhiqiu: "This is the Rejuvenation Pill , can help you recover from your injuries."

Xu Zhiqiu took the porcelain bottle and expressed his thanks.

When the two returned to the wine shop, the drinkers in the shop were still drinking. These people were already dizzy from drinking, so even if they heard the movement in the backyard just now, they didn't notice anything wrong, and they still Gu Zi drank the wine in the bowl, and chatted with the people at the same table from time to time.

Behind the counter of the wine shop, the old woman who was originally the wife of the old shopkeeper was sitting on a chair, her eyes were half-closed as before, she looked the same as before, but in fact the anger in her body was dissipating, and her life The fire is waning.

Xu Zhiqiu and Lu Ningshuang looked at each other, and finally Xu Zhiqiu walked to the side of the cash desk, and said in the usual tone: "The old shopkeeper has left, so I don't want the wine I ordered."

The gray-haired old woman didn't seem to hear it, and didn't even lift her eyelids.

Xu Zhiqiu's eyes moved slightly, and he put his fingers on the back of the old woman's head. He lifted up the dull white hair a little, and then saw three golden needles inserted into the back of the neck under the white hair. , with only a little bit exposed at the end.

Xu Zhiqiu didn't know what was going on, so Lu Ningshuang walked over to take a look and explained, "This is a method of refining living corpses."

"Refining living corpses?" Xu Zhiqiu frowned. He hadn't heard of this kind of talk, but it sounded like it was not a righteous method.

Lu Ningshuang went on to say: "It's a forbidden technique that evil cultivators are good at. It refines living people into living corpses, which is easy to manipulate, and living corpses look no different from ordinary people. It's hard to see through just from the appearance. If it weren't for these three I would never have thought that the golden needle was a living corpse."

Xu Zhiqiu said: "Then there is still hope?"

Lu Ningshuang shook her head: "There should be four golden needles here, but one should have been pulled out earlier, so she can't survive, and the fire of life will be completely extinguished in a few hours."

Hearing this, Xu Zhiqiu sighed helplessly.This expedition really yielded nothing, and almost cost their lives.

The two left the wine shop, Lu Ningshuang returned to the inn, Xu Zhiqiu went to the county government office again, and asked Xing Butou to handle the matter of the wine shop. The old woman only had a few hours to live, if she died suddenly in front of the drinkers , It is estimated that it will cause a panic, so it is better to prepare in advance.

After explaining the matter about the wine shop, Xu Zhiqiu inquired about the interrogation results of Xiahu Mansion by the way. After a busy night last night, Chief Xing still found out some information. He didn't hide it, and told Xu Zhiqiu all about it.

The information is all about the eldest lady. It is said that a servant once heard that the eldest lady talked with a monster in the middle of the night. The monster had a pair of horns on its head.

The first person to spread this rumor was the lady's personal servant girl, but she died the day after she said this, and later the servants didn't take it seriously, they just thought it was nonsense, after all, the lady has been talking nonsense all these years The government still has some prestige, and the people are also good, never scolding the servants too much.

But now the fact that the eldest lady is a monster has been told by the county government, this matter has been mentioned again, and it is very likely to be true, not a rumor.

Xu Zhiqiu heard these things from Xing Tutou, and felt that things became more and more confusing. Why did a monster with horns suddenly appear?

The eldest lady, the wine shop, the bone skeleton... Xu Zhiqiu doesn't know how these monsters colluded with the evil cultivators for the time being, but the matter must be extremely difficult, especially what the bone skeleton said about the fairy palace when it just woke up.

Asgard, is it literally a fairy palace?

On the way back, Xu Zhiqiu kept thinking about these things, trying to find some truth from them, but in the end he was at a loss because of too little information, so he had no choice but to give up temporarily.

Stepping into the small courtyard of the second uncle's house, my aunt was busy cooking in the kitchen. Xu Yueyao was not in the courtyard, so Xu Zhiqiu went straight back to his room. Without hesitation, he decided to exchange the elixir now to improve his strength.

After this encounter at the wine shop, he felt that his strength was still too weak.

Originally, he thought that in this remote small county, his own strength was enough to protect himself, but one after another incident made him understand that the monks in the Qi training state were still too weak.

Whether it is the dead lady or the hidden wine shop owner, he has no strength to fight, so he should step into the foundation building state as soon as possible, so that even if he loses, he will at least have a chance to save his life.

So Xu Zhiqiu spent the one hundred amount in the bronze mirror to exchange for the last pill in the shelf, and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

This elixir can be called a heavenly medicine, the effect is astonishing, but the accompanying effect is painful.

Even with the experience of the previous two times, Xu Zhiqiu was tortured by the huge pain and almost collapsed.
