My old enemy always likes to pull my furry ears

"Xue Huan, you are in the authorities and you don't know where you are. The chess pieces in the chess box can see the situation more clearly than the chess pieces on the chessboard. You have come to Nanyu not long ago, so you are the most suitable candidate."

Cangtu's headmaster's words were still vivid in his ears, Xue Huan couldn't help but wondered on the way back, this Nanyu's headmaster even hid the insiders, and the other four spirits' headmasters were all Nanyu's seniors , The days of eating salt in Nanyu are much more than his own, how can he let himself serve this pot of soup secretly.

He counted his fingers, and he has been in Nanyu for less than a month, so he is a half-baked person, so Cang Tu is not afraid that he is the one with problems.

Or did Cang Tu suspect that there were ghosts in Nanyu Gate?

He looked ahead, thinking about how to check the chain behind the mummy, and two disciples from Luoshui came across. Xue Huan stopped them, and asked casually: "Two friends, I have a question. Have the three dead people been down the mountain recently?"

One of them replied: "No."

"No?"

"These guys are the laziest. They usually avoid the opportunity to go down the mountain to practice. How could they go down the mountain?" A Luoshui disciple frowned, "The conduct is not good. They like to lie to Master and bully—"

"Hello." The fellow next to him poked him with an elbow, reminding him to stop talking.

The disciple who slipped the tongue may realize that it seems unrighteous to say bad things behind the death of a person, so Nu Nuzui kept silent.

Xue Huan thanked them with a nod, walked into the path, and walked towards Sanwen.

……

The moon is dark and the wind is high, only the shadow of the moon is flowing on the green road.

Wen Shang couldn't sleep at night, so he ran to the place where the body was found to look for clues.

There are tall trees on both sides, and the road in the middle is a turning road. The front is connected to the Nanyu Palace Square, and the back is connected to two roads. One leads to Luoshui, and the other leads to Gouyue and Sanwen.

This is a bright road, and the front is smooth. Whoever chooses to kill in such an obvious place has a great probability of being discovered.

Wen Shang looked back and forth, stared blankly for a while, and squatted down. After squatting, he couldn't see the square of Nanyu Hall, but he couldn't see it in this position. The authorities were blind, and those who passed by outside, as long as they stood and walked, should To see or to see.

In other words, the assailant was really lucky that no one happened to be there when he killed.

Just choosing such an open and bright place, risking the possibility of being discovered to kill, this murderer is not very smart, has no means, and is not smart enough.

Wen Shang couldn't guess the intention of the murderer, so he had to change his mind, intending to find some loopholes through the clues on the corpse.

A mummified corpse with its soul drained and a scratch on its wrist.Wen Shang arranged these details in his mind, stroked his chin, and paced back and forth.

If you simply drain your soul to improve your spiritual rank, you don't need to cut a hole in someone's hand. There are many forbidden techniques in the world to drain people's soul to improve your cultivation level, most of which are to directly take the soul.

Except for the scratch on the wrist, the mummy has no other obvious injuries, which can rule out the defensive behavior of the deceased before he was killed.

If you don't struggle, it's a sneak attack, or you know it.

But the key point is that this kind of thing happened in Nanyu, which shows that there is a problem. Someone secretly practiced forbidden techniques in Nanyu.

Wen Shang was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't notice the wind stirring the air behind him.Jiang Xuqi hid sideways behind a tree beside Qinglu Road, the corner of his mouth curled into an imperceptible arc, he stroked the rough bark with one hand, looked at Wen Shang who was thinking carefully for a while with interest, and let out a breath.

In the dark night, everything is silent, and a little wind and grass is like a flame that instantly burns the field.

When Wen Shang heard the movement, he immediately became alert and shouted, "Who!"

Jiang Xuqi leaned out from behind the tree and walked over, his eyes only fixed on Wen Shang, and said: "I don't sleep at night, what are you doing here?"

"You." Wen Shang looked down at his feet and said, "There are some things I can't figure out, so I'm looking for inspiration."

Jiang Xuqi's eyes flickered, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Mummy." Wen Shang briefly described the process from the discovery of the corpse to the investigation of the cause, without any shyness, and even asked him for advice.

Jiang Xuqi didn't rush to answer Wen Shang's doubts, but said, "Why don't you ask why I'm here so late?"

Wen Shang: "Don't ask, didn't you say you can come when you want last time, ask again, what's the difference?"

There are two things that a elusive person can't ask, one is the spiritual rank, and the other is why, this is something that can be understood by turning the other side, and it is superfluous to talk too much.

But seeing that Jiang Xuqi might not have heard what he wanted to hear, and closed his mouth again, Wen Shang looked at his face for a long time, and asked tentatively, "Are you here to find me?"

The reason why he asked this was because he remembered that when he was in the Five Poor Lands last time, the two became friends. Jiang Xuqi had been seen by him several times when he appeared in Nanyu. other people.

"Come and see you." Jiang Xuqi said, "I did some business just now, so I stopped by."

"Oh." Wen Shang responded, squatted down again, and scratched the ground with his fingers, imagining that the mummy was still here.

Jiang Xuqi looked around by the moonlight, took a few steps, looked around, and said: "This place is very bright, not a good place to kill people."

Wen Shang was thinking about it, and said casually, "Of course I know."

"Any enemies?"

"What?" Wen Shang raised his head and was stunned for a moment, realizing that he was talking about whether the dead person had a grudge with someone. "I don't know, but my master said that for the three people who died, their headmaster seems to have something to hide."

"How to say?"

Wen Shangdao: "The head teacher said that these three people went down the mountain fifteen days ago to practice, and the evil spirit on the corpses may have been brought in from outside, but the master asked other disciples, and said that these people had never gone out to practice. So, the head teacher can't make sense. Now my guess is that there is something wrong with Nan Yu inside, not outside."

"Either, Nan Yu has a disciple who is practicing forbidden techniques, or, Nan Yu has got into the evildoer, there is no three."

Jiang Xuqi: "Which possibility is greater?"

Wen Shang shook his head: "I don't know."

Even if he knew, he might not be able to find out the murderer.

Wen Shang did not hide it, and analyzed: "However, I think that if it is a student of Nanyu, if he secretly practiced some forbidden things and wanted to practice his hands, after killing someone, he should not throw the body openly in a certain place in Nanyu. It is easy to be found on a small road, which clearly tells us that there are people in Nanyu who are practicing spells that should not be practiced, which will expose themselves and is unwise."

In this way, the possibility of demons is a little bit higher.

Anyway, bad guys don't have to think about the consequences of their actions, otherwise they would be kind.

What Wen Shang said was entirely based on reasonable inferences, but in Jiang Xuqi's ears, a person who appears and disappears and chooses to hide from the public has a ghost in his heart. People don't hurt or itch, don't like to be sentimental, and do things decisively without hesitation, but at this time, they are thinking about whether to confess to Wen Shang that the deaths of these people have nothing to do with him, so as to clear up the suspicion.

Because he hesitated and lingered in his heart for a long time, he hesitated to wait for the night watchman to come, but before he could say a word, he himself disappeared first.

He was self-conscious, and before Wen Shang had time to remind him, he disappeared.

The night watchman carried a night lantern and found someone jumping on the road in the middle of the night. He went up to have a look and found that it was Wen Shang, so he asked, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Wen Shang came out to look for clues without the permission of the head, nor Xue Huan's personal approval, and he didn't want others to know that he was investigating the mummy, so he said: "Looking for something, I lost something while walking in the morning, and I just went back." I found it was gone, so let’s see if I can get it back.”

The disciple who watched the night said: "Is the thing very important? It's easier to find it during the day." Seeing that Wen Shang was talking to him, he kept his head down and swept the floor, so he enthusiastically said, "Otherwise, I'll help you find it together?"

Wen Shang quickly declined his kindness, "No trouble, no trouble, I'll look for it again, and if I can't find it, I'll go back. I'll see if there are any other places tomorrow morning. You have worked hard on night patrol, so don't bother."

The disciple also said: "That's fine, you should go back earlier, it wasn't just yesterday that you discovered this—" He suddenly closed his mouth and reminded: "Don't come out and run around at night."

"Okay, thank you."

The disciples who watched the night slipped away with the night lanterns, and the bright lights flickered, unable to fight the darkness, and disappeared into the distance.

Standing where he was, Wen Shang suddenly felt bright. He had been subjected to the gossip of those disciples for a long time, which led to his impression of Nanyu's disciples as sharp monkeys frowning. Perhaps it was because of his narrow mind that he ignored the Yu's fellowship with other students.

His heart was full of joy, and he put aside those dead bumps that couldn't think of a mummy for a while, and went back in a hurry.

After he left, a blue shadow appeared in the light of the moonlight in the darkness, looking at the direction of his departure, thinking about something expressionlessly, after a while, a leaf covered the moon, and the blue shadow disappeared.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Li Chuan got up early, and he followed Xue Huan to ask questions three times. He didn't have the nerve to ask for another room to sleep in. Jiu occupied the nest of Chili Pepper and Little White Wolf. Of course, the nest of the two little things is very small. He didn't want to get in, so he made do with lying down at the door of the nest. Anyway, the door of the nest was soft hay, so it would be good to cushion his upper body.

In order to show his hard work, he first went to the kitchen to cook some porridge for them to drink. He added water to the pot, and after the fire started, he couldn't find the rice. He walked around the house lightly for a long time. After the result, he changed the cooking of porridge to boiling water.

The weather was still hot, and Li Chuan was sweating from busy work all morning.

When the water boiled, he went out of the kitchen, the chili was awakened by his pots and pans, and jumped over, biting uselessly at his feet.

Li Chuan ignored him, clapped his hands, went to the door of the hut to open the door, he pulled out the wooden latch, Chili took a step ahead of him, pushed his head against the crack of the door, raised his buttocks again, slammed open the door, and jumped out anxiously.

Brat, very proud.

Li Chuan thought to himself, he stretched out his hand to push the door on the other side, but before he opened it, the stinky bastard pepper who ran out jumped in at the speed of fire, jumped onto his chest, hooked his clothes with his claws, and slammed twice It climbed onto his shoulders, and then crawled into the back of his head.

"What dance are you dancing?" Li Chuan thought it was Chili's animal nature, and after reaching out to push the door open, he was stunned.

After being stunned for two or three seconds, he took a few steps back on soft feet, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Mother, you're dead."

The door slowly opened, and a well-behaved mummy appeared at the door.
