Chapter 229

Xuanyuan Chen didn't answer, just sat down and said slowly, "Did you see anything wrong with the woman just now?"

I nodded, talked about my previous thoughts, and finally analyzed, "She is turning blue, and she seems to have died of poisoning."

"No." He shook his head, "The body is turning blue, it may not be all poisoned, it may also be... the blood in the body is exhausted."

I thought about it carefully, the woman's face was full of wounds, but the wounds did not bleed much. I was thinking that maybe the weather was too cold and the blood was congealed. After he reminded me, I really felt something was wrong.

If poisoned, the blood on her face would turn black, but, no...

blood...

How about bloodshed?Could it be that the thief left obvious wounds on her face to cover up something...

Xuanyuan Chen took a look at me and said, "Before you asked about Spinning Top Gu and Xuanling, you just thought it was a temporary idea, and you didn't pay much attention to it.

But when I saw the death of the woman just now, I felt that something was very wrong. Connecting these few things together, the problem cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences, let's start with the spinning top Gu. "

"Qianshan is a hundred-year-old Zongshan. It was very prosperous during the period of Emperor Tianqi. There are as many as ten thousand disciples in Zongshan. The supreme treasure has been enshrined in the ancestral hall, guarded and worshiped day and night.

Although this thing is a treasure, it is said that there are hidden rules. Among the thousands of mountains, only the sect master can control it, and no one else can get half of it.

But if there are regulations, there will be people who break the regulations.One of the disciples in charge of Qianshan secretly learned some methods of controlling the spinning top Gu from somewhere, so he took the opportunity of going down the mountain to purchase, found a clever master, and made a Gu that could distinguish the fake from the real one, and then secretly put the fake one on the table. In the ancestral hall. "

"Then what happened?" I was still very interested in these secrets, so I couldn't help asking.

Xuanyuan Chen replied to me with a smile, "Then, he naturally found a place to practice secretly. However, after all, he only learned a part of the method of controlling Gu. It was fine at first, but then he went back to being enchanted, and the veins in his whole body reversed. The eyes also changed from black to red."

"At the ancestral hall, Gu was also found to be replaced. After careful investigation, he was naturally found. Qianshan is a big sect, and the regulations of the mountain are very strict. It is a serious crime to steal the treasure of Zhenshan, and the tendon of the hand should be broken Hamstring, abolished martial arts, expelled from the mountain gate.

That man was originally the most proud disciple of the suzerain, he was always very fond of him, the suzerain was a little soft-hearted, after all he didn't break his tendons, it really ruined his martial arts. "

"And then..." He spoke slowly, but I heard it with great enthusiasm.Then, is that person unwilling to do something big?
Xuanyuan Chen nodded, "You guessed right, that person was already insane when he practiced spinning top Gu before, so he took advantage of the weakness of meridian reversal to adjust his breath to protect his dantian Qi sea, and he didn't really use up his martial arts. At the foot of the mountain After resting for a while, he disguised himself and went back to the mountain again, and once again stole the spinning top Gu."

"This time, he came here with hatred. After stealing the Gu, he hid it. After several months of hard training, the Persistence Gu returned to Qianshan..."

I was almost stunned before, so it is naturally clear that if this thing is controlled, I am afraid that the situation will be out of control...

"The scene was quite difficult to control. After hearing the sound of the Gu, the disciples in the mountain were all half crazy, unconscious, chasing and biting each other. It was a catastrophe that could destroy the sect in Qianshan. If not, the person who controlled the Gu If you go too far, you will die from a violent tendon, I am afraid that there is no such thing as Qianshan now..."

It sounds scary, but after listening to it, I was a little confused.

Qianshan's hometown background sounds quite violent, but what does it have to do with the proprietress who died today...

"It's related." Xuanyuan Chen raised his long finger, poured two glasses of water, gave me one, and drank one himself.

He continued, "After that catastrophe, the Qianshan sect collapsed. The old sect master blamed himself for his indecision at the beginning, and killed all the disciples in the Ma sect. Since then, he sealed the spinning top Gu and hid it in the secret cabinet of the back mountain organ. Unexpectedly, I accidentally discovered that there is a very deep dark cave in the back mountain..."

"Walking to the entrance of the cave, there is a stench of extreme decay. After searching, I found out...there are nearly a hundred women's bones in the cave, all of which died of blood exhaustion in their bodies..."

Nearly a hundred of them are all blood...could it be...

I was a little shocked, Xuanyuan Chen nodded, "Qianshan blocked the news, the specific reason why is also unknown. There are rumors in the world that the Gu needs blood to activate it, and it is said that the spinning top Gu needs blood.

However, the most rumored is that his method of inducing Gu is incomplete, and after a long time of practice, he became obsessed, and he needs to drink fresh blood every day, otherwise he will suffer from exhaustion and die. "

Physically exhausted...

Thinking of the wrinkled face and red lips of the thief, the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.

Blood exhaustion, bells...

If the bell in his hand is the Qianshan Forbidden Object Spinning Top Gu, then everything would be explained, and that face, maybe it wasn't made easy, but...

If you think so, it is reasonable for this thief to dare to come out and take risks in sunny days.

What a bastard, for the sake of himself, he actually killed so many innocent women, so vicious, so cruel, it's really not an exaggeration! ! "

I sighed, picked up the white porcelain blue and white cup, and drank the water in the cup in one gulp.

I thought about it, but I still had some doubts in my heart, about the lady who came to the inn, and about the flower picker I ran into yesterday.

"I want to check it out." Although I have guessed, I want to confirm it.

Xuanyuan Chen smiled slightly, turned around and went out. Not long after, he came back with two sets of night walks.I took off my hair, covered it with a black hat, and changed the skirt, and put it on again.

At this time, it was already dark, and Xuanyuan Chen had already changed into a new outfit.He took out the prepared map and studied it, blew out the candle, pulled me to a light jump, and jumped onto the roof.

The two of us headed back to the direction of the inn first, there was a funeral shed there long ago, but there was no coffin, so the two of us turned to the direction of the Yamen.The guards here are not strict, and after easily avoiding the guards, they went to the backyard to make a room.

It was Youshi, and there was only one guard in the backyard. It was freezing cold, and there was no one around, so he kept walking back and forth. Xuanyuan Chen picked up a piece of tile, and when he turned around, he flew hard, hitting him On the faint point.

When he fell softly, the two of us quickly jumped off the roof, took the key from the waist of the guard, opened the door and entered the house.

There are three plank couches in this room, the left and right are empty, the bulging couch in the middle is covered with fine straw mats, it must be the body of the proprietress of the inn.

Xuanyuan Chen held my hand in the palm of his hand, was about to pass by, took a look at me, and after I nodded, he gently lifted the straw mat.

Although I was prepared, I still felt a little uncomfortable when I saw it again.

The proprietress's face has been treated, her eyes have been closed, her mouth is closed, her messy hair has been tied up, braided into a bundle and hung on her shoulders, if it wasn't for the hideous wound on her face, she would have fallen asleep .

I sighed, and without hesitation, I slid Mo Que out and cut some on her finger...

I pulled up the corner of her skirt again, cut the leg of her trousers and scratched it lightly on her leg.

There was no blood in her body...

What he wanted to prove already had an answer, so Xuanyuanchen covered the straw mat, flashed out of the room, locked the door and hung the key on the waist of the soldier again, jumped on the roof, and threw another small tile, His acupoints were unlocked.

"Hmm...why did you fall?" The soldier woke up Youyou, shook his head vigorously a few times, and muttered to himself.

After leaving the mansion, I dragged him all the way to the east, and soon reached the direction of the city lord's mansion.

"Did that thief Ruo Ri disappear from here?" We were standing on the roof not far away, he asked softly.

"Good." I nodded

Maybe it's because in winter, the night falls early, accidents happen frequently, and the people's houses turn off the lights earlier. Looking around, except for the city lord's mansion, which is a little brighter, the rest is pitch black.

It was confirmed that the proprietress of the inn died of exhaustion of blood. I didn't dare to go in hastily. After thinking about it, I shook out the porcelain bottle from my sleeve and put the warming medicine She Ming gave me in the bottom of my tongue.

When the elixir turned into a wave of heat, I took a deep breath, and then I looked at it carefully.

The Lord of Po City is also a delicate person. In addition to the splendor and splendor, there are many institutions in the mansion.However, the organs in his mansion are nothing compared to the organs in Xiangli City Lord's mansion.

I looked carefully and found that although there were many soldiers and guards in the mansion, there were not many women in the backyard. One was embroidering, one was singing Tsing Yi in a costume, and the other was beating and scolding the maidservant.

I hurriedly turned around to look again, searching one by one, and saw a man in a red robe with flowery sleeves in another room, he was laughing, his eyes were very loose, Still drooling in his mouth, he should be the stupid son of Po City Lord.

Just at this moment, an old man with a purple jade crown and wearing a green pine and green cypress tunic came striding forward, all the maidservants and women in the house bowed down, and when the old man raised his hand, everyone thanked him and stood up.

He was standing in the opposite direction to me. He had broad brows, sharp eyes, two thick eyebrows flying upside down, and a short beard under his chin. At first glance, he looked like a general who killed a field. No matter how you think about it, you won't be the Lord of Po City who blocks the way to pay taxes and changes color when talking about it.

"Second young master, how is today?" He asked.

The maidservants turned their backs to me, couldn't see the mouth shape, and wanted to say good things.

Po Weiheng nodded, and was about to take a few steps to his silly son, and reached out to pat him on the shoulder. The silly boy was even happier, as if he wanted to get up, but he couldn't control his body. He shook his head, but his saliva was flowing more of them.

The maidservant at the side hurriedly took a silk to wipe it, and Po Weiheng and the woman next to him ordered something, so they went out.

It didn't take too long to look at it with strength, but my mind suddenly became very dizzy. I quickly retracted my gaze, and quickly poured a small elixir under my tongue. The medicine melted, and it seemed to be better.

"Is there any discomfort?" Xuanyuan Chen asked softly with dark eyes.

At this moment, I couldn't explain much, so I told him it was all right, and continued to look intently at the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, Po Weiheng had already traveled a long way, walked through the long corridor, and came to a quiet courtyard.

After entering the yard, he knocked on the door of the pavilion a few times, pushed it open and entered the house, and then closed the door behind him.

There was no one in the house, but the candles were burning.

He walked to the bookshelf on the right, held on to one of the ornaments, twisted it lightly, and the screen on the side opened, and in the mist, the back of a man soaked in a huge bathtub appeared.

Although it's just a back view, he is taking a bath after all, and I've never seen a man before...

I blushed a little, and quickly looked back.

"What's wrong with you?" Xuanyuan Chen looked sideways at me.

Since I stood here, he has been looking sideways at me. I took two pills in a row, shaking my head and frowning. If I told him that nothing happened, let alone him, I would not believe it.

Either way...

I said slowly, "This, let's talk about it when we go back, okay?"

He was silent for a moment, nodded his head and said yes, reached out and shook my hand, warming it in the palm of his hand.

I smiled slightly, and looked intently again. The strange thing was that there was no one in that room.

Looking carefully, the screen has been closed, but the candles in the room are still on.

Could it be that he entered the organ room?
I thought for a while, and finally turned my eyes and focused on going through the screen wall.
