Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zou Liang found some clues and told Zhan Zhao and others—it turned out that similar things had happened before.

"You mean... someone was tricked for picking up an old lady before?" Zhao Pu frowned, "When did it happen?"

Zou Liang took out something and put it on the table. Lin Yehuo added, "You would never have imagined that such a thing exists!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other—what's the matter?

Zhao Pu looked at the things on the table and frowned, "Books?"

"It looks like an old book from a certain age." Gongsun reached out and picked it up to look at the cover.

I saw that it was a handwritten book, the workmanship was quite simple, the tattered sheepskin cover, and the inside was yellowed rice paper, which was seriously damaged.

"What kind of book is this?" Zhan Zhao wondered.

Zou Liang said, "Didn't you find three crooked gold pots before?"

Everyone nodded.

"My master remembered one thing." Lin Yehuo helped Zou Liang and said, "The great monk said that when he was young, there were still things about lynching with crooked gold pots and enforcing door rules in Jianghu... and Jianghu There is a set of crime codes that are popular in the world, and all disciples who commit related crimes will be executed as a crooked lord."

Zhan Zhao and the others listened attentively, "Criminal Code?"

"I asked someone to investigate, but I found something unexpected." Zou Liangdao, "There are several warehouses outside Kaifeng City, remember? It's near the shipping office."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "The ones that piled up the leftovers after the government ransacked the house, mostly classics and documents, those that couldn't be sold."

Zou Liang nodded, "A few of my subordinates were bitten by bookworms all night, but I really found a book of crimes hand-copied by Jianghu people from the pile of old books."

Zhan Zhao pointed to the torn book on the table and asked, "Is this the one?"

Zou Liang and Lin Yehuo shook their heads.

"This book was found together with that book of crimes." Zou Liang opened the cover, and everyone saw two very scribbled words on the inner page, in rather weird fonts.

Gongsun and Bai Yutang frowned together.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes and asked, "What font is this?"

"Underworld." Bai Yutang and Gongsun almost spoke in unison.

Zhao Pu rubbed his chin, "Never heard of it."

"It was written by bad people." Gongsun frowned, "That's a long story."

"What are these two words?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

Bai Yutang obviously knew this font, but he didn't study it like Gongsun. He pointed to the first character and asked Gongsun uncertainly, "Is this a bad character?"

Gongsun nodded and said, "This is a bad code."

"Evil Code?" Everyone subconsciously glanced at the book again.

Gongsun stroked his chin lightly, and said, "Now that I'm talking about it, I remember it. This is one of the few books that were banned in the previous dynasty, and that crime code should be one of them."

"A book that was banned in the previous dynasty?" Zhao Pu asked, "Why was it banned?"

"When the martial arts world was full of smog, some not-so-good classics were regarded as the norms of the martial arts world. Therefore, after the imperial court purged the martial arts world, a number of classics were banned, including many martial arts cheats such as evil skills."

"I know that too." Zhan Zhao nodded, "A lot of evil skills have been lost because of this."

"Among the banned books, there is a set of very famous books called the Seven Great Books, 'Death of Evil Demons and Demons', the Seven Great Books." Gongsun said, "That is... evil books, ghost books, and magic books. , demon code, crime code, evil code, death code.”

Hearing the name, Zhan Zhao felt that it was not a good book, and asked, "What is it all about?"

"How should I put it? It should be seven very 'good-looking' books, of course...it depends on how you read it!" Gongsun said, "These seven books are all records of real people and real events that have happened for thousands of years. Most of these things are extraordinary and bizarre, which can be called the naturalization of strange events. It is like the crime code, which records various crimes and the punishments that should be imposed for such crimes. The death code records all kinds of weird There are various death events and different ways of death. The evil code, as the name suggests, records what happened, evil people and evil things."

Zhan Zhao opened the book, except for the name on the first page of the inner page which is Nether Body, the fonts used to record events are normal and everyone can understand.Probably those spies brought it to Zou Liang after reading it.

Zou Liang turned the book to a certain page, and there was a flat sandalwood bookmark inside that page, which seemed to be a mark.

"Look at this page!" Lin Yehuo motioned for everyone to read it.

Gongsun read that paragraph... Everyone's eyes widened when they heard it—that page recorded a villain who possessed the ability to ecstasy. passers-by, and "reform" them into golden-faced evil spirits, who come out to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

"There is still this page." Lin Yehuo turned to the place where the bookmark was also placed in another night, and Gongsun continued to read.

That paragraph described that someone used illusion to create a maze of "ghosts hitting the wall" to create panic, and there were some maze-like patterns attached, which introduced in detail what kind of fork in the road and how to "hit the wall" to make people get lost a feeling of.

Bai Yutang took a closer look at the maze maps, and said, "There are several alleys that are similar in terrain to the alleys where people 'bumped into ghosts' before."

Zhan Zhao was horrified, "I've been doing it for a long time... Is anyone doing things according to the evil code?"

"But why are there old graves and crooked gold basins buried in the place where the accident happened?" Gongsun held his chin, "The evil scriptures simply teach people to do evil, and it seems more complicated here."

Zhan Zhao flipped through the book and was surprised, "So some people have done so many bad things?"

"In a sense, this is indeed a very 'good-looking' book. The content inside is unimaginable and very curious." Gongsun said, "But in another sense, it is a boring book! Book This book not only shows you a large number of evil deeds over thousands of years, but also teaches people how to do evil. The steps are clear. If you have a certain ability and want to do evil, it will be a good time to hold this book. refer to."

Zhan Zhao took the book and flipped through it, as if looking for something.

Bai Yutang looked at him puzzled, "Cat, what are you looking for?"

Gongsun stretched out his hand to protect the book, "Be careful turning it over..."

Zhan Zhao raised his head and asked, "Is there a kapok petal written in it?"

Everyone looked at each other, Lin Yehuo shook his head, "No! I also looked for it just now, and there is no record of petals."

"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao stroked his chin, "This is really strange, what are you trying to figure out?"

"The strangest thing is Bian Qing who died for no reason." Gongsun mentioned.

Everyone also nodded, yes... The incident happened when Biansheng was washing his hands in the golden basin, and it seemed vaguely related to Bian's family, and the biggest relationship was with the dead Bianqing, who was still holding a gift box in his hand. Zhao's invitation is even more suspicious.

The case is as complicated and confusing as ever. Although I have a book, I still can't start... Who is so boring?Do bad things according to the book?

After everyone came out of the restaurant, they returned to Kaifeng Mansion.

As soon as he arrived near the Kaifeng mansion, he saw a man standing at the gate of the yamen, looked back at everyone, and pointed at Bai Yutang speechlessly.

Bai Yutang was helpless, it was Bai Mutian who came.

Zhan Zhao and the others looked at Bai Yutang sympathetically.

When he came to the front, Bai Mutian spread his hands and complained to Bai Yutang, "If you weren't my relative, I would have thrown eggs at your house! I didn't snatch your food when I was young, why did you hurt me so much?"

Bai Yutang stared at him for a long time, then said, "It wasn't me who said it, it was my father who said it."

Zhan Zhao and the others collectively looked at Bai Yutang who sold his father to protect himself without batting an eyelid.

On the other side, Bai Xia who was drinking with Tianzun Yinhou suddenly sneezed.

Bai Yutang pointed to himself, and asked Bai Mutian, "Do I seem to be such a talkative person?"

Bai Mutian rubbed his chin and thought about it, but it was true, what Bai Xia said was much more likely than what Bai Yutang said, "It doesn't matter who your father said, what kind of enmity do I have with you?"

Bai Yutang stretched out his hand to pat him lightly, and said, "It's not a bad thing for you to be the head of Gaohe village."

Bai Mutian Wangtian, "The key is that I don't want to do it."

Bai Yutang nodded, "That's nothing to worry about."

"But now they all think that I want to do it." Bai Mutian shook his hands, "Your brother and my stable life are gone."

Bai Yutang looked at him and said, "No matter who becomes the owner of the village, you are unlikely to have a stable life in Gaohe village, why don't you quit?"

Bai Mutian was slightly taken aback.

The rest of the people walked slowly towards the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, stepping on ants while walking, listening to the conversation outside with their ears pricked up.

Bai Mutian narrowed his eyes, looked at Bai Yutang, and asked with a smile, "People in the Jianghu always want a shelter. If I quit Gaohe Village, where will I go to shelter?"

Bai Yutang said, "I'll introduce you to Tianshan School."

Zhan Zhao blinked, Lin Yehuo touched his chin, Zhao Pu nodded with his arms crossed.

Bai Mutian made Bai Yutang amused, "Why do you join the Tianshan School?"

"A place to live." Bai Yutang said, "You are my relative, and you are a foreigner. You will not take the position of leader of the gang. The top ten masters will curry favor with you and promise to live a better life than Gaohezhai. How do you want to live a stable life? It's all right."

Bai Mutian smiled and said, "You are also willful, how can there be any reason to leave the sect and join other sects?"

"When the gang leader changes, many people will choose to leave and join other sects. This is a very common thing." Bai Yutang asked, "What's the problem?"

Bai Mutian was helpless, reached out and patted Bai Yutang's shoulder, "I know you mean well, but let's talk about this matter later."

After speaking, he waved to Zhan Zhao and the others.

Zhan Zhao and the others hurriedly nodded.

Bai Mutian told Bai Yutang to ask him and Bai Xia to find him for tea when he had time, and then wandered away.

Bai Yutang stood in front of the gate of Kaifeng mansion, watching Bai Mutian who was walking away, frowned slightly.

Zhao Pu and Gongsun looked at each other.

Zou Liang looked at Lin Yehuo, and Huofeng looked at Bai Mutian who was walking away with his arms folded.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang—just now Zhao Zhen suddenly said that Bai Mutian was a traitor, but to be honest, they couldn't see it at all.With Bai Yutang's personality, he would definitely try to figure it out, but he is not a person who can beat around the bush, and not being able to play tricks doesn't mean he is not smart. Bai Yutang chose the most direct method to test.The result of the temptation is - Bai Mutian is hiding something, at least...he is not as simple as he appears on the surface.

What was Bai Yutang thinking at this moment?

If another person told him that Bai Mutian was not the good person he seemed on the surface, he might not take it to heart, but the person who said so was Zhao Zhen.Is there anyone in this world who can judge people more accurately than Zhao Zhen?Except for the occasional little fourth son in the state of "opening the eyes of the sky", Bai Yutang couldn't think of another person.

Zhan Zhao went out and pulled Bai Yutang, who was still standing at the door, into the Kaifeng mansion. He knew that the mouse was making trouble, so he said, "It's not necessarily that he has something to do with the case, maybe it's just some ambition and he doesn't want others to know. Well, as long as he doesn't harm anyone, it's fine."

Bai Yutang nodded and said, "That's right, the premise is that he doesn't harm others, but what if he does?"

Zhan Zhao stopped and looked at him.

Bai Yutang said to Shark behind him, "Follow him."

Shark shark disappeared in a flash.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then asked Bai Yutang in a low voice, "What if...it is found out that he has really hurt someone?"

Bai Yutang stopped in his tracks, "Then the problem is serious."

Zhan Zhao blinked, "How serious is it?"

"He hides it so well..." Bai Yutang said flatly, "It means he has more bad things to do."

……

In the distance, on the avenue near Gaohezhai Bieyuan, Bai Mutian walked back leisurely while looking at the street scene.He didn't go back directly to the other courtyard, but walked into a tea house and ordered a pot of tea and snacks.

Shark is standing opposite Bai Mutian and looking at him.

And Bai Mutian held the cup, drank it, and looked in Shark's direction.

Shark tilted his head slightly.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Bai Mutian's mouth, as if he was smiling at Shark...
