It was already noon when Duan Yunchang woke up again, and when he walked out of the room, a maid immediately greeted him.

The maid is small and cute, with two black braids swaying as she trots, and her petite figure is reflected in the stagnant water on the stone road.

"My lord, please wait for a while. Yan'er is going to prepare the toiletries right now." The maid named Yan'er bowed to him respectfully.

Before Duan Yunchang could thank her, Yan'er hurriedly turned around and ran towards the front yard, obviously not daring to neglect the guest in front of her.

"Really thoughtful."

After sighing, Duan Yunchang stretched his waist and raised his head to meet the warm light from the sun, narrowing his eyes slightly enjoying it.

After washing, Duan Yunchang sat in front of the mirror and carefully checked his face. The redness and swelling caused by the raindrops last night had subsided, and his entire face had returned to its original appearance.

Raising his eyebrows in satisfaction, Duan Yunchang held the small medicine bottle in his hands.

A small piece of red paper attached to the sapphire medicine bottle is marked with the word "Fu Gao", and the body of the bottle is covered with fine patterns.After thinking about it, Duan Yunchang opened it again, lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance.

He has studied medicine with his father since he was a child, and his nose is so sensitive that he can distinguish the smell of hundreds of herbs, but in this bottle of ointment, he is not sure what the scent he smells is.

"Weird." Murmured, Duan Yunchang closed the lid, packed up his things, stood up and walked out of the house.

The courtyard of the Gu mansion is very large, but Duan Yunchang walked for a long distance but did not see many servants, so he couldn't help but find it strange.

When he walked to a quiet waterside pavilion, the sound of the piano from last night came, and the sound entered Duan Yunchang's ears gently and softly, grabbing his attention.

Looking for the reputation, Duan Yunchang saw Gu Nianzi sitting in the water pavilion.

He was sitting in front of the table, his bony hands were nimbly plucking the strings of the guzheng in front of him.Sometimes slow and sometimes fast, as if everything is under control.

A gust of wind swept over from the lake, lifting a few strands of hair on his forehead, revealing most of his smooth and full forehead.

"Master Duan?"

Gu Nianzi raised his head and saw someone who was already obsessed with it, he smiled and said with the corner of his mouth raised. "Did you sleep well last night?"

Duan Yunchang came back to his senses, coughed twice in a concealed manner, "I slept very well, thank you Mr. Gu for your hospitality."

Hearing the other meaning in his words, Gu Nianzi smiled and did not answer.

"I've been away from home for several days, so I won't bother Mr. Gu here." Duan Yunchang continued.

Gu Nianzi nodded, "I'll ask Ming Si to prepare a carriage to take you back."

Duan Yunchang's inner vigilance increased a bit, but on the surface he smiled, "Don't bother Mr. Gu, I can go back on my own."

"Well, if Mr. Duan needs help, please come to me." Gu Nianzi said without bothering to throw hairballs with Mr. Duan.

Duan Yunchang took a deep breath after walking out of Gu's mansion, and rubbed his little heart by the way, feeling the slow growth of the carrying vine.

A carriage slowly stopped in front of him, Xiaosi took a look at Duan Yunchang, then jumped out of the carriage and took out the long bench, and respectfully opened the curtain.

"Mr. Duan, is this going home?" A familiar male voice came from the carriage, slightly low-pitched.

Duan Yunchang thought about it for a while, "Is it Young Master Yubai?"

"Yes." Yu Baichu chuckled, "Master Duan is going back to Juyang Pavilion? It just so happens that I'm on the way, why don't we go together?"

Duan Yunchang had nothing to refuse, so he got into the carriage without hesitation.

Seeing that Duan Yunchang got into the car, Yu Baichu didn't change his sitting posture, so he said casually, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Duan, I'm not used to sitting properly."

He was leaning on a bench that could seat two people, with one leg raised up, looking very bohemian.

Since the master said not to take offense, Duan Yunchang naturally found a comfortable place and sat down.

Yu Baichu laughed out of nowhere again, got up and opened the curtains of the carriage, without any isolation, the noise from the street outside the carriage was carried into the carriage unscrupulously.

There was a lot of people outside, vendors at the stalls were yelling, people coming and going stopped and went, and children were playing among the crowd, attracting scolding from adults from time to time.

"How should I put it? Humans are creatures that can smile heartlessly even under suffering." Yu Baichu put one hand on the car window and supported his head as if feeling something.

Duan Yunchang followed Yu Baichu's gaze and looked outside, his eyes dimmed a bit.

"Life is short, enjoy yourself while you can. After all, no one knows when the talisman flag hanging on the Long River will fall."

The talisman flag on the Longjiang River has been hanging for a long time. It is the protective net built by the four famous cultivators for the ancient city of Jiangyuan.As time went by, the four famous cultivators died one after another, and no one could predict how long this talisman flag would last.

Yu Baichu nodded in agreement, and then looked at Duan Yunchang, "Young Master Duan's face has improved a lot, Mr. Gu's medicine is really a treasure."

"Master Gu's medicine?" Duan Yunchang frowned slightly, wondering.

Yu Baichu smiled meaningfully, "This is the medicine he made himself, and ordinary people can't use it."

"Because of the carrying vine in my body?" Gu Nianzi leaned against the wall of the carriage, crossed his legs and supported his head, looking at Yubai place faintly.

"I think so." Yu Baichu got up and put down the curtain, sighed softly, "Master Duan, do you know what this carrying vine is?"

"Mascot." Duan Yunchang snorted coldly.

"You..." Yu Baichu was choked and had nothing to say for a while.

Before the silence between the two of them had subsided, the carriage suddenly braked suddenly, and Yu Baichu fell to the ground without paying attention, grinning his teeth in pain on the spot.

On the other hand, Duan Yunchang sat on the side without moving, with a smile in his eyes when he looked down at him. "Master Yu, if you don't sit still, accidents are easy to happen. Are you okay?"

As he spoke, Duan Yunchang extended his hand friendly.

Yu Baichu rubbed his sore waist, stood up from the ground and asked outside, "What happened outside?"

"My lord, a corpse fell from a tall building... and fell on the road, we can't get through."

Stoudemire said in horror outside, speaking incoherently.

Duan Yunchang got up and lifted the curtain of the car, then jumped off.

As soon as he landed, he saw Gu Nian squatting next to the corpse, secretly rolled his eyes and complained that Yu Baichu was not credible, Duan Yunchang walked straight over.

Now the streets are surrounded by officers and soldiers to prevent anyone from approaching, and with difficulty squeezed into the crowd of onlookers, Duan Yunchang raised his head and looked at the thing that attracted everyone's attention.

"What a coincidence." Duan Yunchang said to Gu Nianzi, then turned to look at the corpse lying on the ground.

The corpse lying on the ground was completely unrecognizable, a pair of eyes had been cut off, only two blood holes were still bleeding, and a pile of small stones mixed with a lot of blood stains in the open mouth looked shocking. Judging by her clothes and clothing, she was nothing more than a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman.

"As soon as Mr. Duan left, it was reported that there was a problem here, but it's just a step earlier." Gu Nianzi smiled at him and hooked his hands at the guard.

Duan Yunchang saw a guard in black approaching him, he bowed his head and said a few words to the guard, then the guard cast his eyes on him, and then walked towards him.

"My lord, please come in." The guard stood in front of him and said in a well-mannered manner.

Duan Yunchang blinked, a little dazed.

He just came here to join in the fun, and he didn't want to get involved in right and wrong.

"I..." Can I not go?

He didn't finish his flinching words, when he felt a hand stop his shoulder, and heard the owner of the hand say loudly, "Your lord has also invited me, let's go and see together."

When the guard looked up and saw Yubai's place, his eyes lit up quite a bit, and he said excitedly, "It's Mr. Yu! Come on! This way, please!"

Feeling that the guard was familiar with Yu Baichu, Duan Yunchang had no intention of struggling.He was forcibly pulled into the pit, and he couldn't stop it.

When he walked to Gu Nianzi's side, Duan Yunchang saw Gu Nianzi take out a black note from the corpse's mouth.

Yu Baichu's eyes sank after seeing the black note, and he took a deep breath, "This is really him."

Duan Yunchang didn't know who Yu Baichu was talking about, and he didn't even know the rune that Gu Nianzi saw after unfolding the note.

It may be because of the carrying vine in his body, after seeing the black rune, he suddenly felt heart palpitations for no reason, feeling very ominous, and the carrying vine moved a little uneasy.

Putting away the spell, Gu Nianzi stood up and replied, "It's him."

There has never been such a strange way of death in the ancient city of Jianglongjiang in recent decades. When the news spread, people in the ancient city were already panicked.

The father who recognized his dead daughter was sobbing and passed out.All the doubts can't be solved yet, but Yu Baichu and Gu Nianzi seem to have figured out something.

"This girl is called He Xiwan, and she is the daughter of the shopkeeper of the teahouse opposite." Gu Nianzi narrowed his eyes and looked at the teahouse opposite.

This tea house has three floors, the middle floor is hung with a huge exorcism yellow talisman, which is fluttering leisurely in the wind.

Duan Yunchang looked at the teahouse and sighed regretfully.

He has always had a good relationship with the shopkeeper of this teahouse, and the shopkeeper is honest, honest, kind and popular, so how could this matter happen now?

"I'll go and see Shopkeeper He." After Duan Yunchang finished speaking, he walked towards the teahouse first, and the two men followed.

Thinking that he is a serious investigator and he has no reason to tell him not to follow him all the way, Duan Yunchang had no choice but to bear it.

Entering the teahouse, Duan Yunchang looked around and saw Xiao Si crying with his hands on his forehead with red eyes.

He bit his lip hard to keep himself from crying, but the tears flowing from his eyes to his chin had already soaked his collar.

"Xiaofan, where is shopkeeper He now?" Duan Yunchang pursed his lips and said with difficulty.
