Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou didn't expect this. He wasn't a murderous demon. Were these people overthinking things? But it was good if they feared him, saving them from acting recklessly.

Li Ergou snorted and said, "Very well, you better behave yourselves and stop doing these immoral things."

Old Man Li immediately said, "No, never again. Look, it's getting late. If you don't mind, sir, why not spend the night in my Liujia Village? We can all benefit from your good fortune."

Li Ergou looked at the horizon. Some dark clouds were drifting over, and the sky was getting gloomier. Calculating the time, the sun would be setting soon. Rather than spend the night in the wilderness, it would be better to stay overnight in Liutiao Village.

So, he didn't hesitate and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

The old man chuckled, his eyes revealing immense excitement, but when he turned to greet the others, a hint of sinister light flashed in his eyes. Who knows what he was plotting in his heart.

Li Ergou didn't think much about it. Even if he did, he wouldn't be afraid. After all, his skills were strong, and he was brave. Even a corpse demon couldn't kill him, so how could he be afraid of a few ordinary villagers?

Liutiao Village, seen from afar, looked like a large ditch squeezed between two large mountains. The entire village was located at the bottom of the ditch, and the village was surrounded by large willow trees.

Li Ergou was slightly surprised that these willow trees seemed to be planted in a specific order, looking like a huge yin-yang fish pattern from afar, like a large formation.

However, he didn't pay too much attention to these things.

Liutiao Village wasn't big, only about twenty or thirty households. Old Man Li found Li Ergou the best room to rest in, and then led the villagers of Liutiao Village to slaughter chickens and sheep, being very enthusiastic.

Li Ergou couldn't help but sigh that the villagers were still simple and honest. Of course, he wouldn't eat their food for nothing. When he left, he would give them some money as compensation.

At this moment, in a large courtyard in the middle of the village, everyone was busy. Some were plucking chicken feathers, some were cleaning up the fat sheep. There was a large black pot in the courtyard, and the prepared sheep were thrown directly into the pot to cook.

At this time, you could see a circle of people sitting around the courtyard, discussing lively.

The leading strong man asked with a puzzled expression, "Old Man Li, this Li Ergou is an official, and we are bandits. Why do you have to provoke him? And slaughter pigs and sheep, wouldn't it be better for us to keep it for ourselves?"

Old Man Li smiled mysteriously and said, "You are too young. Think about it, this Li Ergou is the Deputy Chief Constable of Kushui County. Once he realizes what's happening and brings a large group of people to kill us, how will you deal with it?"

The crowd did not expect this and exclaimed, "Impossible, would he deceive us with his status?"

Old Man Li said disdainfully, "Naive. If you think like this, you won't even know how you died when the butcher knife falls on your head. As long as he leaves, our Liutiao Village will be meat on the chopping board, in danger of being destroyed at any time. Therefore, we must eliminate this danger in the bud."

Everyone opened their mouths wide, not expecting Old Man Li to have such thoughts.

The leading strong man said, "Then what should we do? He is so powerful."

Old Man Li's face revealed a fierce look and said, "Killing a person is easy. Sometimes you don't need to use a knife. I have a magic powder left by my ancestors. This medicine is colorless and odorless. Just a little bit can make him fall asleep. At that time, killing him is as easy as killing a chicken."

When everyone heard this, they praised that the old ginger is still spicier.

Li Ergou naturally didn't know all of this. At this moment, he was cultivating. What he didn't expect was that the spiritual energy in this Liutiao Village was very abundant, several times more than that in Ku Mountain.

Opening his Dharma Eye, he could see that the glittering spiritual energy in the air was very dense. He was surprised and couldn't help but think of the shape of the willow trees in the village. Could it be related to the dense spiritual energy here?

Before he could think more, someone knocked on the door to invite Li Ergou to eat.

Li Ergou came to the large courtyard. At this moment, the villagers of Liutiao Village were all there. A large plate of mutton and chicken was placed in front of Li Ergou, as well as a large bowl of mutton soup, with a rich aroma, which should be very delicious.

Old Man Li looked at Li Ergou and immediately picked up a bowl of mutton soup and said, "Sir, we are in a poor rural area and have no wine. We will use this mutton soup instead of wine to toast you. Please forgive us for scaring you today."

Saying that, the old man actually picked up the mutton soup and, ignoring the scalding heat, gulped it down in a short while.

Li Ergou was speechless, thinking, what should I do if you drink like this.

As if seeing Li Ergou's difficulty, Old Man Li chuckled and said, "Sir, I am a rural man, don't mind me, you are welcome, you are welcome."

Li Ergou nodded, but did not gulp down the mutton soup in one go, but took a big sip. It was indeed very delicious. After a bumpy ride, he was indeed hungry. He didn't think too much, eating meat and drinking soup in large mouthfuls, very comfortable.

Everyone saw Li Ergou eating happily, and a strange smile appeared on their faces.

Li Ergou was not stupid. Seeing everyone's strange smiles, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. He always felt that these villagers were strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

But would he care? Of course not, he would eat his fill first. After eating and drinking his fill, Li Ergou left. The villagers of Willow Ditch sat together and began to wait.

Everyone was asking Old Man Li when to take action.

Li Ergou returned to the house and suddenly felt a little dizzy. He immediately woke up and recalled the expressions of those guys when they were eating. He couldn't help but think that these guys wouldn't have given him sleeping pills, would they?

As soon as this thought arose, he quickly took a second-generation egg and ate it. The second-generation egg can even detoxify corpse poison, and a small amount of sleeping pills is naturally not a problem.

However, Li Ergou was very angry. He did not expect that these people were so bold and dared to really harm him.

Did they really think he had a good temper? He wanted to see what they wanted to do tonight. If these guys didn't know their intentions were bad, don't blame him for being ruthless.

Perhaps he really underestimated the evil of human nature. For a time, he couldn't help but wonder if these guys had ever committed murder.

The night was deep, and Li Ergou's divine sense probed out, and he saw dozens of figures gathered around the courtyard. His heart sank, it seemed that what should come was coming after all.

Everyone was talking, whispering that the medicine should be working. Old Man Li held a firewood knife and knocked on Li Ergou's door. There was no movement in the house.

At this moment, he showed a cold smile and looked at the crowd behind him and said, "Go in later, without saying a word, first chop him to death with random knives."

Everyone nodded, looking excited and nervous.

Just as everyone was about to push the door in, suddenly a gust of wind blew in the village, and then a cold and sharp voice came and said, "People of Willow Ditch, return my life."
