People from all factions live on the mountainside of Cangxi Peak, and the carriages and horses stay at the foot of the mountain, and the residences are divided by courtyard walls.Huikeju is elegantly built, the main building is built with bluestone, the white walls and black tiles stand out, and the hundreds of green bamboos bathed in the warm sunshine cast strong shadows, forming a secluded world.Only the rustling of the whirling branches and leaves occasionally breaks the tranquility of the courtyard.

There were secret whistles around, but no one stopped Lu Yu and Meng Nange when they came.

A white-faced, beardless middle-aged man was holding a long cigarette stick, and was puffing away at the door comfortably. When he saw someone coming, he smiled slightly, got up to greet him, and politely cupped his hands and said, "Brother Lu, Brother Meng!" ,haven't seen you for a long time."

Meng Nange raised his eyebrows and said, "It's clear that I only saw it at the mountain gate a few days ago."

The man shook his head, and said slowly, "I don't see you in a day, it's like three autumns."

Meng Nange's eyelids twitched, and he immediately changed the topic: "Don't talk about such nonsense, Gu Qing, does your Lingyun School have a person named Chang Feng?"

Gu Qing thought about it for a while, and then said in doubt: "There has never been such a person, what does he look like."

Xia Mian immediately described Chang Feng's appearance, Gu Qing shook his head, and confirmed: "There is no such person, but he can enter Xuanzong, maybe he is a young disciple from another sect... I don't know why he pretended to use me Pie name."

He insisted on drawing a long gap between words, and after speaking for a long time, Lu Yu said impatiently: "In this case, let's go to Tianyi Gate to have a look first."

Gu Qing glanced at him, and slowly said: "Tianyi Gate? Then I will go with you to have a look..."

Before he could finish his sentence, several people left him, turned around and left in a hurry.

Gu Qing withdrew his outstretched hand heartbrokenly, shook his head and said with emotion: "Young people nowadays... I heard that Ge Qingyue refuses to see visitors, and they may not see her face if they rush over in such a daze. .”

When Lu Yu, Meng Nange and the others arrived at the residence of the Tianyi faction, they were stopped at the door.

A few female disciples stomped on them with raised eyebrows, and angrily said: "I said that Elder Ge is resting. Did you feel that the troubles a few days ago were not out of line, so you just called the door today?"

"Why get angry, it hurts peace for nothing."

Meng Nange held Lu Yu with one hand, curled his lips and persuaded softly: "It's just that we have received news that there are thieves sneaking into Xuanzong. My little uncle and I came here because we were worried about what happened to Elder Ge and had no other intentions."

Meng Nange's appearance was already extremely handsome, but such a smile was extremely lethal, even when he was angry, the faces of several female disciples immediately turned red as if they were about to drip, and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at him again.

Lu Yu took the opportunity to push them away, and pushed the door in. Meng Nange followed closely behind. As soon as he stepped into the room, he frowned: "This smell, like something is rotten."

Xia Mian followed the probe to look, tilted her head in doubt, and said to Tang Jingyu, "It seems that there is nothing."

Tang Jingyu thought for a while, then showed a cute smile, and said to the disciple of Tianyi Sect who was standing blankly at the door: "Big sister, does this room usually have this smell?"

When those people came back to their senses, the leading female disciple hesitated for a moment and said, "No...there wasn't any last night."

As she spoke, she glanced at the room, and immediately said in surprise: "Ah, where did the elder go, he was clearly still there just now?"

Lu Yu ignored her, just wandered around the room, and then turned his gaze to a huge palace lantern that was burning faintly in the corner.

This palace lantern is made of fine wood with a hexagonal skeleton, which is divided into two layers, the upper fan and the lower fan. Each of the six pillars is carved with a lifelike faucet, and decorated with painted silk tassels. The overall look is exquisite, luxurious and elegant. , but for some reason, it was never hung on the beams of the roof, but stood alone on the ground, so it exuded a strange atmosphere.

Everyone's attention was focused on this for a while.

The former female disciple hesitated and said, "The elder bought this on the way here. She likes it very much, so she keeps it in the room and does not allow others to touch it."

"You stay where you are." Lu Yu said this to Xia Mian, then walked slowly towards the lamp, and then stopped a step away from it.

Some kind of material was used to cover the skeleton of the palace lantern, and there was a faint orange light, casting a faint blue outline on the ground.

Lu Yu raised his sword and split the palace lantern, and a strong bloody smell hit the whole room immediately.

Xia Mian's eyelashes trembled violently, and Meng Nange covered her eyes.

But even this glance allowed him to see clearly what was inside the lamp.

It was a naked woman, sitting there cross-legged bloodied all over her body, her facial features were distorted, her mouth was opened wide in pain, as if she was screaming silently, but she was holding an oil lamp motionless in her hand.

——Beauty Lamp.

"Don't look." Meng Nange whispered in the ears of Xia Mian and Tang Jingyu.

The dark fragrance slowly overflowed from his sleeves, Xia Mian felt sleepy before he had time to fear, and fell into such a deep sleep.

Raising his hand to catch the two children who were stunned by sleeping incense, a cold light flashed across Meng Nange's eyes: "I didn't expect to see them closely enough."

There was a retching sound from behind, and several female disciples covered their mouths and ran out.Lu Yu half-closed his eyes, leaned over and picked up a fragment of a palace lantern, and said, "It's made of human skin."

After setting up Xia Mian and Tang Jingyu, Meng Nange approached Lu Yu, took the human skin from his hand, smiled lightly, and said slowly, "Look at the body shape of that corpse, is it Ge Qingyue? I wanted to go fishing with a long line." Big fish, unexpectedly, the thread broke. Hmm... From this point of view, it seems that she has been dead for less than a day."

Lu Yu's eyes flickered slightly: "It seems?"

Meng Nange looked away from the piece of human skin in his hand, took a step forward and took the oil lamp from the female corpse, picked up some remaining lamp oil, put it under his nose, smelled it, and smiled coolly: "That's true, what's inside is It is mixed with mortuary grass. The juice of mortuary grass is colorless and tasteless, and when it evaporates, it can delay the process of decay. The amount used here is very small, not to mention ordinary people. People can't see it."

Lu Yu looked at the bloody corpse with cold eyes, and said, "Ge Qingyue died a long time ago, otherwise the person you sent wouldn't have noticed the slightest abnormality. Who was the person before that, and why did he spend a lot of money on it?" Zhou Zhang peeled off her skin and turned her into this, is it just to deceive people?"

"Who knows?"

Meng Nange put the oil lamp back to its original place, wiped off the blood stains on his hands, kicked the wreckage of the palace lantern with his toes, and sighed leisurely: "The relationship between Xuanzong and Tianyimen is not good at first, but now Ge Qing Yue is dead, even if we say that she died elsewhere, some things will become darker and darker, if we can't find out the real culprit, it may be difficult to give them an explanation."

"Then find out the real culprit." Lu Yu said unmoved: "Go and report to the head, and immediately close the mountain gate."
