With my quick eyesight and quick hands, I quickly put a talisman on the door before it closed to prevent me from being killed by the door.

But Li Xiong and the others obviously did not believe in evil. Taoist priest Qiu even sneered: "Huh, little brats are just brats, they are making such a fuss."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the strong man behind him immediately walked up to him and handed him a whisk.

I glanced at this whisk. It was a magic weapon, but it was not of a high level.

After he took the magic weapon, he walked around twice swinging it, as if he was looking for something.

Brother Dao didn't know when he had a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and he started wandering around chanting sutras.

I was stunned: "What are you doing?"

Li Xiong explained on the side: "They are preparing to catch that kid."

Only then did I remember that they were not ordinary people. They all had some skills, so they dared to take over the Li family's work.

I frowned: "But now Li Shun is gone, what should I do?"

"Humph, as long as we find this little devil, we will naturally know where Master Li has gone." Taoist priest Qiu said with a smile, his expression seemed to be mocking me for not using my brain.

Although what he said makes sense, I always have a bad feeling.

So I said to Li Xiong: "Boss Li, let's do this. The two of them will continue to look for this little devil. I want to go directly to another place to look for him. What do you think?"

He nodded: "Okay, then I'll go with you. Do we need to bring two people with us?"

For most people, facing these things, it would only be a disservice. It would be more convenient for me to take only one person with me.

I shook my head, picked up my bag and set off directly.

Yesterday, I heard the woman's voice coming from the opposite direction to where Li Shun was.

"Where is this place?"

When Li Xiong heard me asking this, his expression froze for a moment.

"This... this is an empty room. No one lives in it now, and there are a lot of clutter piled up."

I glanced at him suspiciously, and he avoided my gaze obviously feeling guilty.

"Then I want to take a look at that room, is that okay?" I asked, pointing to the room at the end.

Li Xiong's face fell instantly, and then he forced out an ugly smile and said, "Well... okay, I'll take you to see it."

He obviously had something to hide.

But I didn't dare to ask any more questions. If I angered him, it would be difficult to do things later.

He took me to the room without saying a word and was very serious.

When I opened the door to that room, I was greeted by dust.

"Ahem." I coughed twice.

This place looked like it had been unoccupied for a long time and was filled with boxes of all sizes.

It's all covered in dust.

But there are many footprints on the ground, overlapping each other and turning into a path.

Some people have been here recently, and there are still quite a few people.

I followed the footprints until I came to a wall.

Hiss...how could the steps be interrupted in such a place?

I started to look around, wondering if there must be some kind of mechanism here.

Suddenly, Li Xiong called me from behind: "Little Taoist Master."

I looked at him: "What's wrong?"

He had a confused expression on his face and rolled his eyes a few times before replying: "Well, it's nothing, it's just that this place is a little dirty now. You were injured yesterday. Staying here for a long time is not good for your health. I'll have someone clean it tomorrow."

How about you check it again after a while?"

I looked at him seriously: "Are you sure? If something happens to Li Shun, he won't be able to wait until tomorrow. Boss Li, you..."

Boss Li interrupted me and said, "He will be fine. Just come back tomorrow."

As he spoke, he pulled me out.

I was originally working for him, but now I couldn't disobey him, so I had no choice but to follow him and leave.

But before I left, I quietly made a mark on the wall while he was not paying attention.

Then, in order to confuse things, I asked him to take me to see the peach tree in the backyard and several other places where Li Shun told me that he had buried straw dolls.

Everywhere he went, Li Xiong's expression became worse, but he was not angry and still kept smiling at me.

Sure enough, he didn't intend to trust me with the matter from the beginning, nor did he intend to explain everything to me.

I asked him to take me away for a long time. When I returned to Li Shun's room again, Daochang Qiu and Brother Dao still found nothing.

The expressions of both of them were not very good, but Li Xiong pretended to be alright and said to them: "You guys have worked hard today, and it's almost time for the dinner. Please come to the restaurant tonight and have a good rest.

"

The two of them just nodded casually, working all afternoon in vain, and neither of them would be happy.

At the dinner, Taoist priest Qiu who was sitting next to me suddenly asked me quietly: "Xiao Zhi, didn't you go out with Boss Li today? Did you find anything?"

He actually took the initiative to talk to me. I was a little surprised: "It's true... I followed him out, but I didn't go anywhere. I took a long detour and came back."

He said disdainfully: "Hey, it's really useless."

I was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you asking me this? You didn't find anything all afternoon and you want to get something out of me?"

He glanced at me: "What are you talking about? I just feel that Li Xiong is trying to sneak us away this time. He must have known what was going on, but he just didn't say anything and wanted to take advantage of it."

us."

I was confused for a moment: "Using us? If we can't find out, it won't do him any good..."

"So you are a little kid who doesn't understand anything. If we all come and check and find nothing, how do you think the industry will spread the word about us in the end?"

I shook my head. I didn’t even know if I was from the so-called “industry”...

"They will only report a few of us to no avail, and they won't be able to find out anything. But if they are found out, and people from the Li family are involved, they will be the ones with a bad reputation. Do you think a businessman like Li Xiong will

How to choose?"

I was stunned for a moment, this was indeed a question I hadn't thought about.

"Wait a minute, don't fool me. Who is that person from the Li family you are talking about? Li Shun's stepmother?"

Taoist priest Qiu looked at me and smiled: "Oh, boy, you are still a little smart, you have heard all this."

"That's right, it's his stepmother. She is currently claiming to be missing, but anyone who has helped Li Xiong know that she is locked up."

I nodded. Li Shun told me this before. This is nothing new.

Taoist priest Qiu smiled: "But have you ever thought about what would happen to a person who has been locked up in this place with abundant spiritual energy for more than ten years, still carrying resentment and knowing some magic?"

"Is she really still alive?"

When he said this, he paused.
