Li Qiang was a little panicked and quickly went around to the other side of the stone. The group of people walked past where Li Qiang was and stopped directly at the place where Li Qiang had just peed.

Li Qiang was secretly shocked, it turned out that this was the place where murderers were executed.

The group of soldiers formed a circle and escorted a dozen of his prisoners from the wooden cage.

Only then did Li Qiang notice that there were more than a dozen thick wooden stakes in the middle of the crowd.

The prisoners were tied to wooden stakes so tightly that they could not move at all.

The soldiers brought fishing nets and strangled them hard.

They were all naked and had no clothes on, and the flesh on their bodies had been strangled by the fishing nets, causing them to swell piece by piece.

The night was dim, but Li Qiang could see everything clearly.

There were actually men, women, old and young among this group of prisoners. They all had sinking faces and remained silent, as if they had already accepted the fate of death without any struggle.

Both men and women were naked and tied up like this.

Li Qiang couldn't help but think of the plots narrated in some books. In ancient times, some criminals who committed heinous crimes were punished by death.

Just like this, he took off his clothes, tied up the flesh piece by piece with a fishing net, and then cut it off piece by piece with a knife.

It would not hurt his vital parts, so he would remain awake until all the flesh on his body had been cut off. Li Qiang would only die from blood loss after suffering great pain.

This way of traveling is extremely cruel, but its deterrent effect is particularly strong.

But it seems that these people are not extremely evil people. Why do they have to suffer such cruel punishment?

A dozen or so thick-looking people wearing red clothes, red trousers, and red scarves on their heads, each holding a wooden box, came in front of those people. When the box was opened, it turned out to be a variety of knives.

Presumably this is the tool used to implement Lingchi.

Li Qiang didn't dare to watch it anymore. The next scene must be very bloody.

Even before Ling Chi started, he already felt waves of nausea.

So Li Qiang raised his feet and stepped down gently, quietly bypassing the stone and arriving at the edge of the road.

The motorcycle is still parked here, so quickly turn over and get on it.

However, Li Qiang still didn't start the car, pushing his feet on the ground and moving forward. So Li Qiang didn't want to disturb them, and wanted to leave here temporarily before starting the car.

As soon as Li Qiang started sliding forward, he heard screams coming from the execution ground behind him.

The shrill voice cut through the dark night sky and penetrated into Li Qiang's ears, making Li Qiang feel numb all over.

Li Qiang couldn't listen anymore. He quickly raised his foot and kicked the motorcycle. The lights came on again. Li Qiang quickly put the gas pedal in gear. With a roar, the car sped away, and the tragic sound was left in Li Qiang's mind.

back.

Just like this, he ran back to the Chaoyang Temple Hotel along the highway. Li Qiang did not squint during the whole journey and did not dare to look around again.

When Li Qiang entered the hotel room and sat down on the chair, he let out a long sigh of relief.

On this trip to Beizhen County, I experienced so many weird things.

I remembered that Chen Hao once told Li Qiang that when he was young, he was a monster hunter who specialized in exorcising ghosts and catching monsters.

At that time, Li Qiang still didn't believe it. Li Qiang thought there were so many ghosts and demon foxes in the world?

But this time Li Qiang has completely seen it. The world is so crowded, and annoying people like Li Qiang are the weakest and helpless.

Holding the jar wrapped in red cloth containing Meng Wiping Tears, he went directly to the kitchen at the back, opened the wooden box left by Chen Hao in the corner and put it in.

Li Qiang planned to have a good night's rest and drink the tears again at dawn tomorrow. After all, Li Qiang felt very tired after working hard for the past few days.

After closing the door of the shop and locking the windows, I lay down on the bed in the bedroom after washing myself.

As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell asleep immediately.

In a daze, Li Qiang actually had a dream. This dream was particularly strange, because in the dream, Li Qiang knew that he was dreaming.

At that time, I was very upset, blaming myself for forgetting to drink a bowl of ghost soup because I fell asleep in a hurry. So I prayed in my dream that I would not have nightmares, so as not to cause any accidents.

Fortunately, it was not a nightmare. Li Qiang dreamed that he was a general wearing armor, riding a tall horse and wielding a sword.

Commanding a group of men to fight with the enemy in front of him, Li Qiang's sword was swung with bursts of wind.

Killing all the way, the enemies were invincible and fell in front of Li Qiang's horse one after another.

The remaining ones quickly threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground, raising their hands high to express surrender.

Facing the victory in front of him, Li Qiang was overjoyed and turned his head to the sky and laughed.

He only had this dream that night, and he kept repeating it over and over again until dawn when Li Qiang woke up and had done it countless times.

A beam of bright sunlight shines through the gap in the shop window and shines at the door of Li Qiang's bedroom.

Li Qiang then got up and stretched slowly.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Li Qiang quickly put on his shoes and went to the room outside.

I was secretly wondering, could it be that there are customers coming this early in the morning?

When he opened the door, he saw four people standing outside. It turned out to be the four fox demons who were separated last night.

Li Qiang stepped aside to invite them in and asked them:

"Where were you last night? How come you disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

Hu Shi had a sad look on his face, patted his thigh and said:

"Also, when Li Qiang saw the demon hunter... they knew he was no match for him, so they were so frightened that they ran away. Fortunately, Li Qiang ran fast, otherwise they would have been skinned by him and made into fox fur coats by this time.

…”

"Monster hunter? Why didn't Li Qiang see it?"

You were in a hurry to buy the Dream Demon's Tears, so of course you didn't notice it. What's more, you are a human being and not the target of the demon hunter.

"Did you do something evil that you shouldn't have done? Why are you being targeted by the monster hunter?"

Li Qiang got a towel, wetted it in the basin nearby and wrung it out, and asked while wiping his dry face.

"There are some monster hunters who don't distinguish between good and evil. They catch demons like Li Qiang and other cultivators when they see them... There is really no way to catch them. There are so many unjust cases left by monster catchers these days. How many people like Li Qiang don't cause trouble?

All the kind demons died in their hands..."

Hearing what they said, Li Qiang also felt sad in his heart. But he couldn't help with this matter. He always felt that people in this world have some sharp eyes. Whether they are monsters or humans, ghosts or evil, there are always

The distinction between good and evil.

But there are some people who look at people with old eyes.

For example, Liang Yu, although it is a combination of the dead soul of an innocent person and a fox demon, logically speaking, it should be a completely different existence.

But she is so affectionate and righteous that she is willing to trade herself for her sister. Such a monster is simply much better than those pretentious people.

Seeing them swallowing hard and looking very hungry, Li Qiang turned around and went to the kitchen, intending to get them something to eat.

They didn't see anyone else, and followed him one after another, rolling up their arms and sleeves to help Li Qiang.

After all, they also run an inn, and these tasks are in their hands, so they themselves are nothing.

They also jokingly told Li Qiang that they were worried that if Li Qiang poisoned his rice like they did, they would make mincemeat after being knocked unconscious.

Li Qiang shook his head and said with disdain:

"Who opens a shady restaurant like you? Li Qiang is an upright restaurant. It has been open here for more than 10 years..."

As soon as Li Qiang finished speaking, he heard a gust of wind blowing outside.

The rustling sound of the wind blew the sand on the ground and hit the door frames and windows, making a crackling sound.

After hearing this, the fox demons immediately collapsed into a ball in fear and hid behind Li Qiang, trembling all over.

Especially Hu Da, who is tall and powerful. He looks like a bronze bell at first glance, but makes science weak, like a lost dog.

Li Qiang was much smaller than him, so there was no way to stop him. They looked around, planning to find a water tank or a crack in the ground or something and get in at once.

Judging from their frightened looks, someone must be coming, and the person coming is not good.

Li Qiang didn't have the slightest fear. Li Qiang himself had never done anything wrong, so how could he be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door? What's more, it was a sunny day and this was Li Qiang's Chaoyang Temple Hotel. No matter what it was, it was coming.

, you have to give Li Qiang three points of face.

So Li Qiang asked them to hide in the kitchen and not say anything. He turned around and came to the front hall, reached out and opened the door.

A gust of wind blew in the face, carrying bursts of dust.

Li Qiang quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose.

Looking up carefully, I saw a person standing at the door.

Seeing his sloppy look, Li Qiang recognized him at once. It was Mr. Bai.

It turned out to be a false alarm, not some monster hunter.

Mr. Bai and Li Qiang were acquaintances, so he was not polite. After entering the room, he sat down at the table and grinned at Li Qiang.

"I heard that your boy bought back the tears of the Dream Demon?"

His information was really well informed. But then I thought, the seventh day of July has passed, and Li Qiang is staying at the Chaoyang Temple Hotel so safely, then the matter must be done.
