"What?" He raised his head from the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, moved the half-finished painting aside, and put down the pen in his hand, "But what happened?"

"Well," pursed his lips, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, "yesterday...one of the two Dali Temple officials who entered the room with us... spontaneously combusted."

Liu Yanxue's eyebrows twitched, "What's going on?" She stood up from the chair.

"Did Ayan yesterday... feel unwell?"

"I don't have any." He began to put away the things on the table, "I am originally from the Cold Spirit Race, so I don't know how to extract the fire made by the Yan Spirit Race's spiritual power, so it can't hurt me at all."

"Then..." I really want to reach out to help clean up, but when I think of what I did yesterday, I no longer have the courage to approach Liu Yanxue, "How did Ah Yan know about me..."

"It's strange to say, I don't know why I always have some weird dreams these days." The eyes looking at He Kunjin seemed to be looking for something, "And that day was a dream... when I woke up Feeling that the snowflakes on your body seem to be fighting with something, so..." She didn't find what she was expecting, she shook her head mockingly, "Does Ah Jin know how the fire enters the body?"

"It's just a guess, and the specifics need to be verified. If the medium of the fire seed is found, can Ah Yan feel the spiritual power of the flame?"

"If I ignite it to trigger the spiritual power, I should be able to detect it, after all, the flame spiritual power is incompatible with my original spiritual power."

"So I'll leave it to A Yan."

……

When he stepped into the room where 18 people lost their lives again, He Kunjin felt sad, not because he almost died last night, but because the innocent official died because of his order.If I had been more cautious, more careful, thought more, and had a closer look, none of this would have happened. Now the official will be like Muxiu in the past, staying at home with his wife and leading an ordinary life.

"You are not a god, and you cannot predict everything." Liu Yanxue's voice, which was lowered into a male voice, sounded beside her ears.

"En." My heart felt warm, but what followed was a debt to Liu Yanxue.

The two of them entered the still gloomy room with their pocketbooks in their pockets.The statue at the end, the lamps at the four corners, the blood patterns, candle tears and ashes on the ground, the oil stains on the walls and overhead, everything is the same as yesterday.He Kunjin came to the lamp on one side, picked it up carefully, and looked at it from a distance.

"This is how the fire enters the body?" Liu Yanxue leaned forward, but was blocked by He Kunjin's hand, "It has been said that I belong to the Hanling clan, this little spark can't do anything to me."

"It's better to be careful." He Kunjin took out the fire pocket from his body, "Think about it carefully, four people entered this room together, but the only ones who were planted with fire were the official and me. Ah Yan, you are in a special situation. , but taking those two officials as an example, the only difference after they came in is..."

"Is it because the dead official held up the lamp?" Liu Yanxue frowned, "And A Jin also touched the lamp?"

"Not only have I touched it, but I have also smelled it. Ah Yan, do you still remember that this lamp oil contains drugs?" Seeing Liu Yanxue nodded, "Maybe there is not only drugs in it, but also kindling. When it is taken When it is ignited, the people in the room will be inhaled into the body together with the drug, and at the same time they will be in a trance and hallucinate, and they will be planted into the fire."

"So the reason why the maid broke in halfway would also be planted with fire, just because she also came in and inhaled it?"

"That's right, it's the same as me and the official." He lit the torch and stopped on top of the lamp, "Ayan needs me to light it? The drug is the same as the fire..."

"Take this first, Xueminggu's mind-altering medicine is more than enough to relieve the drug." He stuffed a white pill into He Kunjin's palm, "As for the kindling, you don't have to worry, I will deal with it with a wave of my hand." gone."

He swallowed the pill, licked the corner of his mouth, put the lamp back to its original place, and lit it with a torch.The blue-orange flame jumped out of the lamp and flew high.Liu Yanxue flicked her sleeves towards the lamp, the flame that was still bouncing just now disappeared in an instant, and the lamp itself was frozen into a lump of ice.

"That's right, although it's very weak, you can feel the flame power inside." He waved his sleeves towards the room, and the rest of the lamps were also frozen, "I'd better get rid of these harmful things." It's just that I don't know how this poisonous fire is made, and it seems that it doesn't need the maintenance of the spiritual power owner himself."

"I don't know the details, but I know that the teachers and doctors of the Yi Sect must have devised a method to separate spiritual power from people in violation of the laws of heaven, so that they were able to refine poison and Gu..." His eyes moved to the outside of the door.

"It's so..." I saw an unidentifiable bird flying into the room and landed on He Kunjin's finger.He Kunjin took out the note from the small mailbox on the bird's lap, frowned and read it several times, his face became more and more ugly.

"What's wrong?"

"It's the news from the post station." Letting the bird go, he twisted the paper in his hand into pieces, "It's another blood map, the deceased is the personal maid of the fourth princess of Qi State." He walked out quickly.

"Fourth princess? Prince Qi's visit to Beijing, why would the fourth princess also come together? Could it be..." trotted two steps, following He Kunjin's hasty footsteps.

"I didn't say it on the surface, but everyone knows in their hearts that she is here to make a marriage." With a wry smile, she glanced at Liu Yanxue, "The fourth princess and the crown prince are from the same mother, so they would never end up in a marriage. The end. But the current situation forced Qi Guo to become a vassal of our Da'an, and marriage became the general trend, and Emperor Qi had...four daughters, except for these four princesses, the others have left the cabinet..."

"Fourth girl..." slowed down, "Ah Yuan, she..."

"Hmm... If Ah Yuan goes back, Emperor Qi will be forced to remember that he still has a daughter." He smiled sarcastically, "The fourth sister who was sent to replace her?"

"...Then who is His Majesty planning to betroth this princess to? The prince..." There was a weirdness in the eyes of He Kunjin who didn't know the meaning.

"Did Ah Yan receive the invitation for the Sui King's birthday banquet? The Qi State Mission will also attend the birthday banquet." Part of the purpose of letting King Sui hold a birthday banquet is to find a marriage partner for the princess. She will become the prince's side concubine, or the wife of Prince Sui's son."

"King Sui's birthday banquet..." He sneaked a glance at He Kunjin's expression, but found nothing abnormal. "Is Ajin going?"

"I really can't think about it..." I looked away and looked into the distance, "But whether it's the status of the prince, or the purpose of entertaining the mission of Qi State, I have to go."

"..."

"Don't worry, Ah Yan." The corners of her lips curled up gently, "But you, Ah Yan, I have to find a time to let my mother teach you those tedious banquet rules. A group of people eat and drink, pretend to be polite, and talk politely. Then don't get bored."

"..."

……

The dark red blood pumped out from the horrible wound on the neck and formed a pool of blood on the ground.Using the pool of blood as the ink, and the cloth as the pen, a blood-colored array that has not yet dried quietly surrounds the person who has already died, exactly the same as the previous scene.Candles were flickering around the blood picture, and the red and yellow colors stimulated the nerves of everyone in the room; the cloth that was used for the blood-stained drawing was burnt and lay half in the brazier not far away.
