Meng Zongyang heard the noise around him, looked back and saw four more people coming, surrounding him.
Meng Zongyang stared: "Who are you?"
The young master did not answer. He raised his sword and with a flash of cold light, Meng Zongyang's head fell into the dust.
The next day, the villagers of Shangyuan Village followed the hounds and saw only Meng Zongyang's body and his head.
The villagers hurriedly reported the incident to the officials, and the county’s Yang Qingcan, Liu Qinghan and another male police officer Jiang Li came to investigate.
Liu Qinghan looked around and shook her head: "There are only animal footprints around. The human footprints are all Meng Zongyang's own."
Jiang Li said: "It can't be that a tiger hacked him to death with a sword, right?"
When Yang Qingcan heard this, he looked around and widened his eyes: "Tiger? Is there a tiger in the mountain?"
Liu Qinghan said: "There are indeed tiger hoof prints here."
Yang Qingcan took a breath and said, "You two continue to investigate, I'm going back first." Without saying a word, he went back to the county seat.
Jiang Li said to Liu Qinghan: "Meng Zongyang has no father, no mother, no wife, no children. He will die when he dies."
Liu Qinghan said: "This is a human life, and there must be an explanation."
Jiang Li curled his lips and snorted: "The county magistrate has left, leaving us two to feed the tigers."
Liu Qinghan said: "That's where the responsibility lies."
Jiang Lidao: "Just write that he committed suicide and died. Who will pursue him?"
Liu Qinghan said angrily: "He chopped off his own head with a sword? You chop it off and show me!"
Jiang Li waved his hand: "I'll just say it casually. It wasn't suicide. Where is the murderer? There's not even a footprint."
Liu Qinghan looked at the ground carefully again and found nothing to do.
Jiang Li said impatiently: "Miss, let's go quickly. If you don't go, it will get dark, and the tiger will really come."
Liu Qinghan sighed softly: "I have one last solution."
Jiang Li stared: "You're not going to find that pretender again, are you?"
Liu Qinghan nodded: "That's him."
Jiang Li said: "If you want to go, you can go alone. I'm going back to the village first." Before Liu Qinghan could answer, he left first.
Liu Qinghan ignored Jiang Li and rode to Yunya Mountain. It was getting late.
Shi Xueping and Lin Xiaodong went out to greet them.
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Master Liu."
Liu Qinghan frowned: "Don't call me that."
Shi Xueping asked Lin Xiaodong: "Who is this girl?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "This is Miss Liu Qinghan Liu of the county government."
Shi Xueping chuckled lightly and leaned over to salute: "Shi Xueping of the Qingji Sect in Yunya Mountain has met Miss Liu."
Lin Xiaodong asked: "How does Miss Liu know that I am here?"
Liu Qinghan said: "I went to Anqing Village to look for you, and the people in the village said that you moved here."
Lin Xiaodong nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Miss Liu, please."
The three of them went to the hall. Liu Qinghan looked around and said, "Yunya Mountain is really a good place."
Shi Xueping said: "This is the inheritance left by our ancestors."
Liu Qinghan asked Lin Xiaodong: "Why did Mr. Lin come here?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "The residence in Anqing Village is really too dilapidated."
Liu Qinghan curled her lips and nodded: "That's true."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Secondly, I often fight with others and scare the villagers, so I came here."
Liu Qinghan turned to Shi Xueping and asked: "Why did Miss Shi leave Lin Xiaodong on the mountain?" Shi Xueping said: "Our Qingji sect suffered a great disaster. Everyone up and down the mountain died at the hands of villains. I was the only one who survived by chance. Fortunately,
Only with the help of the young master can the Qingji sect be maintained to this day. The young master has no place to live, so I invited him to come over and have him in the mountains.
Yes, I feel at ease."
Lin Xiaodong asked Liu Qinghan: "Why did Miss Liu come to see me today?"
Liu Qinghan shook his head: "A hunter from Shangyuan Village died in Dingshi Mountain, and his head was chopped off."
Shi Xueping asked in shock: "Who did this?"
Liu Qinghan said: "I don't know either. There are only the deceased's own footprints at the scene. There is no evidence. I have no choice but to come to see the young master."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "Then I will go with Miss Liu to have a look."
The three of them rode down the mountain and came to Shangyuan Village to find Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was staying at an inn in the village. When he saw Shi Xueping, he grinned from ear to ear and asked, "Who is this girl?"
Shi Xueping nodded and said: "The little girl Shi Xueping of the Qingji sect of Yunya Mountain has met the official."
Jiang Li raised his hand and returned the gift: "Jiang Li, a county official in Xia Gaoliang County, has met Miss Shi."
Liu Qinghan rolled her eyes and looked at Lin Xiaodong: "This is Mr. Lin Xiaodong."
Jiang Li turned around and changed his face, looked up and down and asked, "Are you Lin Xiaodong?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "It's Lin."
Jiang Li sneered: "Miss Liu said that you can conquer demons and eliminate demons, but I don't believe it. There are absolutely no monsters in this world. It's all people who have their own ghosts in their hearts."
Lin Xiaodong said: "What Young Master Jiang said is reasonable. The so-called demons and monsters are also the retribution of sins for all sentient beings who are suffering. They circulate in the six realms and are swept away by the river of love, life and death."
Liu Qinghan said: "Master Lin will definitely be able to find out the truth."
Jiang Li nodded and said, "Okay, let me see what you can find out."
The four returned to where Meng Zongyang's body was.
Liu Qinghan said: "There are only tiger footprints around. I guess he chased the tiger here, but he was beheaded by someone."
It was already dark at this time. Lin Xiaodong looked up the mountain and saw the red light all over the mountain. He said, "If it's someone else, he was killed by a tiger."
Jiang Li stared and laughed: "Did a tiger really chop off his head with a knife?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "The tiger became a spirit and turned into a human form, so there are only tiger footprints on the ground."
Jiang Li snorted and shook his head: "Liu Qinghan, you are an official, how can you listen to such nonsense?"
Liu Qinghan said: "What you said is not half false. I have seen it with my own eyes."
Jiang Lidao: "It was just you and him that day. It's hard to say whether the matter is true or false."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Whether there are monsters in this world or not, you will know if you come with me and take a look."
Jiang Li smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll let you go, but if not, I will punish you for your evil words and deceiving the public!"
Liu Qinghan stared and shouted: "Master Lin is here to help!"
Lin Xiaodong said: "No problem." He took the lead and walked up the mountain.
Halfway up the mountain, there is a demon cave on the gentle slope, named Jifa Cave.
Lin Xiaodong said: "The monster is here."
Jiang Li was disdainful: "Really?"
Shi Xueping stamped her feet and shouted: "Monster, come out quickly!"
Zeng Keyuan, Dong Xian, Guan Zhen, Wang Binting, and Lu Wen fought their way out of the Jifa Cave.
Jiang Li was stunned: "Is there really someone living here?"
Dong Xian shouted angrily: "Who is that person?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Yunya Mountain Lin Xiaodong."
Zeng Keyuan and others suddenly lost their momentum: "Lin Xiaodong? Why do you come to Dingshi Mountain?"
Shi Xueping shouted: "What are you talking about? Did you kill the hunters in Shangyuan Village?"
Zeng Keyuan snorted: "So what?"
Lin Xiaodong asked: "Why did you kill this person?"
Zeng Keyuan spread his hands and raised his head: "All the creatures in Dingshi Mountain are vassal to me, so the hunter who kills my people should not die?"
Lin Xiaodong raised his head and snorted: "You beast, how can you imitate others and call yourself king?" Dong Xian unsheathed his sword, his eyes widened: "What did you say?"
