Mortal Bones

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Wuyou?"

Shopkeeper Yang pushed Shopkeeper Sun away after scolding him, then walked quickly to Xu Taiping and asked respectfully.

"it's me."

Xu Taiping nodded.

He had sent a message last night to remind Mu Yun not to reveal his identity to Yi Zhu Tower, and it was best to use a pseudonym.

Now it seems that Muyun is still meticulous in his work.

"This little shopkeeper is short-sighted and has neglected Young Master Wuyou. Please forgive me."

After shopkeeper Yang Da confirmed Xu Taiping's identity, he immediately stepped forward to apologize to Xu Taiping with a look of fear on his face.

While speaking, he gave shopkeeper Sun a cold look with his eyes.

"Young Master Wuyou, I am a villain who is short-sighted. I hope you will not remember the villain's faults and forgive the villain's abrupt behavior just now."

Seeing that shopkeeper Yang was showing such respect to Xu Taiping, shopkeeper Sun Xiao, who was already looking frightened, immediately stepped forward to apologize to Xu Taiping with a nervous look on his face.

If it weren't for the face of Yi Zhulou, he might have knelt down to Xu Taiping.

Regarding the attitude of the two people, Xu Taiping remained calm.

Because he knew very well that the change in their attitudes was not due to him, but to Mu Yun and Guangling Pavilion behind him.

"Shopkeeper Sun, it's not me you who are rude to me, it's my friend."

After Xu Taiping looked at shopkeeper Sun, he suddenly shook his head and looked at Lu Bugong aside.

Maybe he inherited the tradition of protecting calves from the Seventh Peak of Qingxuan Sect. Although Xu Taiping didn't like Lu Bugong very much, he still couldn't help but want to seek justice for Lu Bugong when he encountered others' contempt and neglect. .

When Lu Bugong saw that Xu Taiping was actually complaining about himself, his heart suddenly warmed up.

"this……"

Shopkeeper Sun hesitated.

Asking him to apologize to Xu Taiping, he could do it even if he gritted his teeth, but asking him to apologize to Lu Bugong, a shameless person, he really couldn't clear his face.

"Shopkeeper Sun."

Seeing that Shopkeeper Sun was hesitant, Shopkeeper Yang Da on the side immediately snorted coldly.

Being by the poster's side all year round, he knew very well that the person supporting Xu Taiping this time was not just the young master of Guangling Pavilion, but also the poster's close friend, the Great Elder of Guangling Pavilion, a powerful cultivator who was already in the Wentian Realm. .

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I have offended you many times before, and I hope... you will forgive me!"

Under the urging of shopkeeper Yang, shopkeeper Sun reluctantly leaned towards Lu BuGong and said, cupping his hands.

"snort!"

Lu BuGong ignored him and just snorted coldly.

"Master Wuyou, please come upstairs. Our host has been waiting for a long time."

At this time, Shopkeeper Yang made a greeting gesture to Xu Taiping with a smile on his face.

"Good work."

Xu Taiping nodded and immediately took Lu Bugong and walked straight towards the stairs.

The purpose of their trip was to get rid of the corpse of the yellow dog. Since shopkeeper Sun also apologized, there was no need to continue to entangle with him, whether he meant it or not.

…

The Pearl Tower.

Seventh floor.

"Shopkeeper Yang, where is the landlord?"

After being taken to a wing room on the seventh floor by shopkeeper Yang, Xu Taiping looked around the room and found that apart from them, there was not only no one in the room, but also no furniture such as tables and chairs. , empty.

"Master Wuyou, before I take you to see the landlord, I have to confirm one thing with you."

Shopkeeper Yang Da said to Xu Taiping with an apologetic look.

"Confirm what?"

Xu Taiping looked at shopkeeper Yang with some vigilance.

"May I ask Master Wuyou, is the body of the yellow dog demon species in your hands?"

Shopkeeper Yang Da confirmed to Xu Taiping.

"Who told you that?"

Xu Taiping frowned and looked at Shopkeeper Yang.

"Don't worry, sir. I have no ill intentions. I just want to confirm the matter for the safety of the poster before you meet with the poster."

Shopkeeper Yang Da explained to Xu Taiping.

"For the owner's safety?"

Xu Taiping was very puzzled.

Shopkeeper Yang seemed to have guessed the confusion in Xu Taiping's heart, and immediately took out a spiritual mirror from his sleeve, and then threw the spiritual mirror into the air.

Immediately, a lifelike shadow shone down from the spiritual mirror.

In the shadow, in a room that was almost exactly the same as the room Xu Taiping was in at the moment, five or six monks were pacing around the room with impatient expressions.

And in the open space beside them, there was a corpse wrapped in a shroud.

On some corpses, the demonic energy even spread out in the form of black mist.

"To tell you the truth, sir, since the announcement of the reward in the Old Dragon Court, a large number of monks have lied about having the corpse of the yellow dog demon species on their hands every day and want to see the original poster directly."

"Among them, there are even former enemies of the original poster who want to use this to assassinate the original poster."

"So we have to increase our precautions and do a screening before these people meet the landlord."

"Even if you are the person recommended by Guangling Pavilion, you must do this for the safety of the building owner."

Shopkeeper Yang said helplessly.

When Xu Taiping heard this, he was shocked at first, and then felt that it was reasonable.

"After all, that's one million gold coins."

He first murmured to himself, and then asked Elder Nayang:

"How do you want to filter?"

Shopkeeper Yang thought carefully, then took out a true fire talisman from his sleeve and said:

"The corpse of the yellow dog demon species can not burn when exposed to real fire, so as long as you put the body of your yellow dog demon species on the ground and burn it with the real fire talisman in my hand, you can identify it."

While he was speaking, he saw several shopkeepers in the room in the shadow of the spiritual mirror carrying several true fire talismans approaching the monks who claimed to have found the yellow dog's body.

"All right."

Xu Taiping nodded, then took out the body of the yellow dog demon species from the ring and threw it to the ground.

The corpse of the yellow dog demon species in his hand was not a forgery in the first place, so he was naturally not afraid of the temptation of shopkeeper Yang's True Fire Talisman.

"Thank you."

Shopkeeper Yang thanked him with a grateful look on his face, and then used the True Fire Talisman in his hand to place it on the yellow dog corpse on the ground.

"boom!……"

Amid the gas explosion, except for the shroud, the decapitated corpse of the yellow dog demon species was almost unscathed.

And after being burned by real fire, the remaining demonic energy in the corpse of the yellow dog demon suddenly exploded and spread with a "bang".

After feeling this terrifying demonic energy, Shopkeeper Yang was shocked and said with surprise in his eyes:

"This is the real corpse of the yellow dog demon species!"

Lu Bugong on the side also looked horrified.

He only knew that Xu Taiping was going to sell a demon corpse to Yi Zhulou today, but he didn't know that this demon corpse was actually the corpse of the yellow dog with a reward of one million gold!

"Buzz buzz..."

And while several people in the room were filled with astonishment, the jade slip on the waist of shopkeeper Yang suddenly rang.

After Shopkeeper Yang injected a burst of true energy into it, an excited voice came from it——

"Big shopkeeper, we found the body of the real yellow dog demon species!"

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Yang looked stunned at first, and then quickly looked towards the shadow cast by the spiritual mirror.

Among the shadows, in the room where four or five people were originally standing, there was now only a young shopkeeper holding a jade slip and a blond boy with blond hair.

However, compared to the blond boy, the corpse at the blond boy's feet that was bathed in real fire but was unscathed surprised Shopkeeper Yang and Xu Taiping even more.

"Why are there two corpses of the yellow dog demon species?"

Shopkeeper Yang looked at the corpse of the yellow dog demon species at Xu Taiping's feet, then looked at the corpse of the yellow dog demon species at the feet of the blond young man, and said with a look of astonishment.

"Two?"

Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and murmured in his heart:

"That can't be the body of the yellow dog demon species."

Because no one knows better than him how the yellow dog demon died.

At this moment, Fairy Lingyue’s voice sounded in Xu Taiping’s mind——

"Taiping, although that is not the corpse of the yellow dog demon species, it is the corpse of a demon species of a certain level comparable to the yellow dog."

"It seems that in order to kill the owner of Yi Zhu Tower, the assassin really spent a lot of money."
