Li Xiang was frightened by Liu Ren's torture.
Hearing his words, she just lowered her head, gasping for breath and not daring to speak.
At this moment, Taoist Master Daoquan stepped out from the shadows and asked in a cold voice, "I'm a little confused. How did you get to know the man who gave you the red string? What did he ask of you?"
When Li Xiang heard this, he looked up and saw an old man dressed as a Taoist priest. He hesitated and didn't say anything.
"Hmph! Boy, what are you waiting for if you don't answer the Taoist's question?" Liu Ren threatened coldly when he saw this.
Li Xiang was startled when he heard this. He looked up at Liu Ren's expression and replied, "Master, that master... that person was someone I saved on the roadside. After he woke up, he said he wanted to repay me for saving his life and asked me to help him... so he gave me this red rope."
"What do you need my help with?" Taoist Master Daoquan heard Li Xiang's vague words and pointed out what he meant.
Seeing this, the bodyguard holding Li Xiang tightened his grip just in time.
The suffocating feeling of near death reappeared, and Li Xiang quickly begged for mercy: "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! He asked me to help find some...primers for refining the marriage rope in our village."
When he said the last two words, Li Xiang was evasive.
This introduction is obviously not a good thing.
Sure enough, after Taoist Master Daoquan asked several times, Li Xiang stammered and told the truth, but the truth was a little unbearable for everyone. Liu Yuting, who was standing at the back, almost vomited when she heard it.
"The flesh and bones of ninety-nine deceased girls?!" Taoist Master Daoquan repeated in disbelief. He frowned and looked at Li Xiang angrily, "Where did you find these things?"
Li Xiang had said almost everything he needed to say, and no longer tried to hide the truth. He explained without hesitation, "It's easy to find. There's a cliff behind our village with a lot of them. I went to the bottom of the cliff and collected enough in a month."
"How could an ordinary person like you be okay in such a gloomy place?!"
Taoist Master Daoquan frowned and muttered to himself. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked up at Li Xiang and asked, "What is your birth date?"
Li Xiang told the truth.
"It's actually a very yang body, no wonder!" Taoist Master Daoquan sighed.
"What does that man look like? What are his characteristics? Do you know where he is now?"
"That man was an old man, very old. He was very tall and thin, with a long face, and a hoarse, strange voice. As for where he is now, I really don't know. After giving me the marriage rope, he left on his own."
The more Ji Miaomiao listened to Li Xiang's description, the more familiar it became. In an instant, a person's face suddenly popped up in her mind.
"You said that person's eyes looked a little bulging, he wore a black wooden pendant around his neck, and his lips were a bit dark blue."
She asked Li Xiang.
"Yes! That's what he looks like!"
Li Xiang's answer confirmed Ji Miaomiao's guess. The person hiding behind Li Xiang and pushing all this was the skinny old man she had noticed on her first day at the Liu family.
He observed secretly and watched Li Xiang use the red rope he made to harm innocent girls. After Li Xiang was caught by Liu Ren and there was no news about him, he came to the Liu family in person to inquire.
In this series of actions, Ji Miaomiao keenly smelled some conspiracy, but there were too few clues for her to deduce.
"Uncle Master, Master and I have met this man before. Let's go up and talk to him." She sorted out her thoughts, raised her eyes and spoke to Taoist Master Dao Quan.
Li Xiang had told her almost everything she knew. Taoist Master Daoquan nodded in agreement after hearing what she said, and the group then left the basement of the Liu family villa in a mighty procession.
Ji Miaomiao was walking at the back and vaguely heard Liu Ren say to the bodyguard before he came out: "That kid, treat him well for me, just leave him with a breath."
She paused for a moment when she heard this. Liu Ren turned around and saw her stop, so he smiled kindly and reminded her, "Master Xuan Jing, there are some dark steps here. Be careful."
"Okay, I understand." Ji Miaomiao responded with a smile.
The group quickly arrived at the living room on the first floor of the Liu family's house.
After sitting down, Ji Miaomiao told everyone about her encounter with the skinny old man on the first day at Liu's house and some of her own guesses.
She said, "Master, I guess that person came to the Liu family at that time just to check on Miss Liu's condition. He might not be too far away now."
Taoist Master Daoquan was still silent when Lu Xiaobai jumped out and offered advice: "Master, I have a way that might lead them out."
Taoist Master Daoquan looked at his disciple and said, "What ideas do you have? Tell me about them."
"Since that person has been observing Li Xiang, why don't we let him out to lure him out and test him."
"That's a solution!"
"Master, leave this matter to me. You just wait at home for a few days and I will tell you when I have news." When Liu Ren heard this, he took the initiative to take charge of the matter.
He has many bodyguards under his command and they have received professional training. They are indeed much more suitable for implementing the plan than the few people led by Taoist Quan. No one objected when he said this.
But this matter cannot be rushed, it will take some time to follow up.
Ji Miaomiao, who had taken leave, obviously couldn't wait any longer.
She stayed in the Liu family's guest room for another night. She took the opportunity to ask Master Dao Quan many questions about her cultivation. Her cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, began to improve a little.
On the weekend morning, Ji Miaomiao began to pack up and planned to leave the Liu family villa and return to school.
Dongdong——
Just then, there were several knocks on the guest room door.
Ji Miaomiao looked up when she heard the voice and looked towards the open door, only to see Lu Xiaobai standing there with a smile on his face.
