Killing Demons: Upgrading from Calligraphy

Chapter 40 Arson
"This thing is very evil. If it doesn't work, we still have to seal it up."

Looking at the Jade Bodhisattva covered with white cloth in the corner, Qi Xiu remembered the first time he saw this monster.

Jade Bodhisattva's strange and cold smile.

He still remembers it vividly.

Not afraid of ten thousand, just afraid of the worst, Qi Xiu looked back and decided to start taking action tomorrow.

Seal this demon weapon again to prevent anything from happening.

There is nothing substantial in the remaining scriptures.

Qi Xiu flipped through it casually and put it back into the box.

Prepare to send them all to the ghost market and clear them out when you have time.

I picked up these books and barely took two steps.

A scroll slipped down accidentally.

It hit the ground with a click.

The wooden shaft broke into two pieces.

Qi Xiu turned around and glanced at the scroll that fell to the ground. Qi Xiu didn't pay attention at all.

But just before he turned around, he suddenly seemed to realize something.

"Eh?"

Looking at the broken wooden shaft on the ground unexpectedly, Qi Xiu blinked.

Inside the broken wooden shaft.

There seems to be something hidden.

"Any private goods?"

Throwing the booklet in his hand into the box, Qi Xiu leaned over to pick up the broken wooden shaft and broke it gently.

There really was a roll of paper hidden inside.

[May [-]th, Shiniu Valley, cash on delivery]

Is this... a courier order?

Looking at the note in his hand in surprise, Qi Xiu read the note several times.

And except for these twelve words.

There was nothing else on the note.

“May [-]th, there are still more than two months.

It's just cash on delivery. What is the goods and how much is the payment?
The Shiniu Valley is right next to Muze County, it's not that far away. "

Staring at the note in his hand, Qi Xiu's eyes flickered.

This express delivery order must belong to the dead demon Wu Changqing.

It's just a express delivery order, is it necessary to hide it so tightly?

He must be hiding it so secretly because he doesn't want others to know.

He is the leader of Yuhua Temple, and he is the boss, who else can he be afraid of?

A piece of paper caused countless questions in Qi Xiu's mind.

"Forget it, take care of him.

This evil spirit has evil intentions, and the things he bought so carefully must not be serious things. "

Qi Xiu clenched the note into a ball and threw it into a corner.

Throw all the mess on the floor into the box.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Qi Xiu plunged into the kitchen and read a book all day. He wanted to show off his cooking skills and reward himself.

In the kitchen, the stove is brightly lit and pots and bowls are clinking.

At this moment, there was no one in the main room.

suddenly.

A gust of wind swept into the house, and the white cloth covering the Jade Bodhisattva slid down under the gust of wind.

The Jade Bodhisattva, with a compassionate face and smooth glass, clasped his hands together.

jingle--

The corpse-controlling bell at Jade Bodhisattva's feet rang softly for no apparent reason.

next second.

An expressionless, tall figure slowly walked out of the shadows.

The corpse boy who was summoned did not hesitate at all.

Go straight to the table in the center of the main room.

There were hundreds of facial masks on it, and... autumn sandalwood bamboo sticks.

Seeing the corpse boy walking to the table, he stretched out his hand to grab the autumn sandalwood bamboo stick.

A rapid sound of gongs suddenly came from outside.

"what's the situation?"

He walked out of the kitchen doubtfully, listening to the clanging gong outside, Qi Xiu turned his head and glanced at the main room.

The room was calm as usual, except that the white cloth covering the Jade Bodhisattva seemed to have been blown down by the wind.

"It's on fire, it's on fire!"

Hearing the shouts outside, Qi Xiu frowned, turned around and quickly returned to the main room, put on hundreds of facial masks, and pinned the autumn sandalwood bamboo stick to his lower waist.

He transformed into a big man in black and jumped onto the roof.

After Qi Xiu left.

The disappeared corpse boy walked out of the shadows again, looked at the empty table, and fell into a long silence.

..."Quickly put out the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire!"

"Come here quickly, we're in trouble, don't even sleep!"

"Mom, I'm scared!"

"Who the hell set this fire? I want to catch him and skin him!"

It was a night of peaceful sleep, but a sudden fire disturbed the dreams of many people.

The entire Baohe County, the four cities in the east, west, north and south.

Suddenly, dozens of burning places appeared at the same time.

The fire is small, but one or two small tile-roofed houses are missing.

But the fire in Nanshi was the hottest, almost igniting shops in a whole street. The sky was filled with flames like pillars, and most of the sky was illuminated bright and bright red.

Even the county government is no exception.

With so many places on fire at the same time, it was obviously not an accident but deliberate arson.

Standing on the Huifanju Tower, the tallest building in the North City, Qi Xiu looked around at the fire spots, large and small, in all directions in the city.

Is this a madman coming into town?

They set fires one after another, and even the county government was ordered to do so. They were completely unscrupulous.

The night wind howls.

The wind was unusually strong tonight, and the wind helped the fire.

The small fire burned into a large fire, and the fire spread crazily in all directions.

Just as Qi Xiu was looking at the fire all over the city and secretly feeling how many people were about to have their homes destroyed, a sneaky figure rushed into an alley at a very fast speed.

Then the next second, a ball of fire suddenly engulfed the innocent man's house.

After setting the fire, the arsonist quickly ran out of the alley and rushed towards his next target.

"Return?"

Seeing that the arsonist was still setting fire, Qi Xiu raised his brows, bent his knees, and his energy exploded, rushing towards the madman in an instant.

It's not that he wants to act bravely.

It's where this madman is going now.

It's the direction of his home!
"You stop for me!"

Qi Xiu's face turned ferocious when he thought that there were more than 2 taels of silver notes in his house.

That was all his property. If this guy took advantage of it, he would be ready to die.

Hearing the loud shouting behind him, the arsonist turned his head in horror.

Found out?

Hey!
Forging warriors!
Noticing the energy wrapped around Qi Xiu's legs, the arsonist hurriedly accelerated, throwing out several bottles along the way.

Trying to attract Qi Xiu's attention.

Pom Pom Pom!
Flames shot into the sky and once again engulfed several houses.

"You bastard, you did it on purpose, right?"

Seeing that the arsonist had increased the frequency of setting fires, and if this continued, his family might not be spared, Qi Xiu took out the autumn sandalwood bamboo stick carried on his back.

If you can't hit your head, you will die.

This guy still has to be sent to the Yamen.

It doesn’t work on the body either, just give me a shot on the calf.

Holding the bamboo stick, Qi Xiu narrowed his eyes and waved it gently.

laugh--

The bright red sword energy as long as an arm suddenly flew out of the air.

How fast!

Like a streak of red smoke, it struck the arsonist's calf in an instant.

The bones and flesh are separated, like cutting tofu with a knife.

The sharpness of the sword energy was so terrifying that in just a moment, the arsonist became severely disabled.

The demonic power attached to the sword energy quickly alienated the blood in his body, causing him to explode and die.

Rushing to the arsonist, a [Suppression] character was placed on the wound, and the alienated blood immediately stabilized.

Looking at the arsonist who was holding his legs and screaming and wailing, Qi Xiu breathed a sigh of relief:

"You are so brave to set fires all over the city. The Yamen will definitely reward you with a one-way ticket to hell."

Crouching in front of the arsonist, Qi Xiu noticed that he was also dressed in black and had a black cloth covering his face. Qi Xiu reached out and pulled off the cloth from his face.

"What grade? It's the same style as me."

But when Qi Xiu saw the true face of the arsonist, his eyes were stunned for a moment.

"Catcher Liu?"

This madman lay on the ground wailing and screaming, setting dozens of fires in the city in one go.

It turned out to be Liu Changfeng, the ninth-grade jailer in Baohe County.

His brows slowly furrowed, Qi Xiu turned around and looked at the increasingly intense firelight behind him, his eyes focused.

It seems that this is not a simple arson case.
