When the raindrops first fall from the sky, they only feel a little cold when they fall on people's skin, but when they step into a puddle of stagnant water, they feel cold to the bone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

They now entered along the main entrance of the academy, where there used to be a large vestibule, planted with ginkgo, with yellow leaves spread on small dark green bricks, and the distant ridge of the roof was adorned with pink and white fallen cherry blossoms.

But at this moment, the Egret Academy is like a stagnant water under its feet, churning cold foam, and the wind makes an empty swishing sound from the broken bricks.

Everyone stood on the door and hesitated, mainly because they didn't know what would be waiting for them in the water, and no one went into the water for a while.

"It's dirty. Meng Chengtian frowned.

Heng Sheng smiled slightly: "For the eldest young master, this is a cross-flow of sewage, but for us subordinates, it is just a puddle with a little rain." As he spoke, he took the lead into the pond.

Jia Chen felt a little embarrassed, they kept begging the people to save the people, support justice, and they didn't even dare to go to a puddle in front of them, it was better to have a subordinate in the Meng Mansion.

"Let's go too!" he said, taking a deep breath and stepping into the puddle.

It's so cold, Jia Chen reflexively gnawed his teeth, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Mr.

Mr. is still a young man who is about to reach the age of the crown, his face is delicate and his expression is flat, he has a small skeleton with his head poking his head on his back, behind him is a lead-gray sky, and under his feet is a dirty pond of water, but from Jia Chen's appearance, Mr. is neither embarrassed nor panicked, but has a kind of calm where the clouds reach the water poor.

There is a handsome Meng Chengtian and an imposing Fu Heng by his side, Mr. is neither handsome nor imposing, but Mr. stands there, others look at it, but the first person who can see it is still Mr.

"Sir, you wait for us to come over first, and then you come over. Jia Chen wanted to shout like this, but he heard humanity in his ears, "Jia Chen, why are you stunned, come here." ”

As soon as Jia Chen looked up, he found that everyone had crossed the shore, only he was still standing in the pond, he hurriedly waded into the water and walked to the auditorium opposite, and a student named Gu Yan whispered: "Were you stunned just now, why did you stand in the stagnant water and be stunned." ”

"Nothing, a little distracted. Jia Chen hesitated for a moment, he didn't expect that so much time had passed just as soon as he turned around.

Fu Heng said: "Time is urgent, let's divide into three teams first, collect and search from different directions, and I and Jinyiwei will collect and search the lecture hall......"

Zhaoran raised his hand and said, "Let's search the dormitory area, where there are many rooms that we are familiar with." ”

The most likely place for Lu Tian to be suppressed was near Shen Fanglone's dormitory, Fu Heng nodded and said, "It's okay, then trouble Meng Gongzi and his party to search the office area of the supervisors and the emperor."

Meng Chengtian was wiping his dirty upper with a brocade handkerchief, and said without raising his head: "Your Excellency, you have the final say." ”

He dropped Jinpa, looked at Jiuru and smiled, "Sir, be careful." ”

Zhaoran gave him a big look: "Don't worry about it." ”

"Really?" Meng Chengtian pointed out, and Heng Sheng couldn't help but say: "The situation here is weird, let's investigate as soon as possible, and it's better to go out while it's dark." ”

Fu Heng nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, no matter which team completes the search first, they will all assemble in the auditorium in front of the vestibule." ”

－－－－

The academy is built on the mountain, so the front is humble and the back is high, the floors are tired, the dormitory area is close to the mountain, the terrain is high, the rain at this moment has already stopped, the more they go back, the less water in the academy, the front collapses, the back is still pavilions, birds and flowers, at this moment it looks like a pure land outside the world.

The students saw that the environment they were familiar with on weekdays was still well preserved, and their hearts that had been tense relaxed at this time, and Gu Yan said to Jia Chen: "It seems that our academy must have a magic weapon that can restrain this demon tree, and we will definitely be able to find it with the little sage!"

From the students nodding one after another, Jia Chen turned his head to look at Jiuru, the little skeleton on his back had come down and was running around, and he said, "Evil is invincible, it has been like this since ancient times." ”

"Jia Chen!" Suddenly, someone shouted, Jia Chen turned his head, only to see Gu Yan panting and running over, "What are you looking at standing in front of this door?!"

Jia Chen suddenly felt a trace of coldness flash on his back, no, no, he obviously only glanced at the little skeleton, why did he fall behind.

Gu Yan couldn't help but say that he would pick him up and run ahead, and sure enough, he ran across the curved bridge, and Jia Chen found that all the people were waiting for him in front of the door of the dormitory.

"Jia Chen, where did you go?!"

"At this time, you are still running around, and you are too careless!"

"yes, that's too dangerous!"

The students reproached, and Jiuru said, "Did you just find something?"

Jia Chen lowered his head, fine sweat broke out on his forehead, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't say anything strange about himself, what if these people thought of themselves as monsters?

"I just had some urgency, so I found a place to relieve myself. ”

Gu Yan said: "Then you have to tell everyone too, this is so anxious." ”

Jia Chen said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time." ”

Jiu Ru said: "Every two people are in a team, everyone goes to look for it, first see if there are any people, and if you find anything unusual, you will immediately support it." ”

"Yes. After everyone had passed, they formed groups of two and searched along the fourth phase of the path in the dormitory.

Zhaoran turned his head and glanced around, the dormitory area was basically well preserved, only a few old buildings were tilted, could it be that Lu Tian was not trapped here, he thought so in his heart, but he still followed Jiuru towards Shen Fanglone's courtyard.

The sound of their footsteps went away, and Jia Chen couldn't bear to look back, he was afraid that if he turned around, his time would be lost inexplicably.

Gu Yan whispered: "Go back to our courtyard first, I still have some things to take." ”

Jia Chen nodded a little distraught, he followed Gu Yan back to the courtyard, Gu Yan is not a disciple of Mr., but his supervisor Mr. Pu is also famous all over the world, his calligraphy is a must, very popular with the rich gentry outside, it can be described as a rare gold. Therefore, Mr. Pu is also the richest of all the prisoners, and his disciples not only do not need to be filial, but he, as a gentleman, will buy some food for his students every once in a while.

If Chief Fan is the most annoying faculty member of Egret Academy, then Mr. Pu is the most likable one.

Jia Chen glanced up at the sky and sighed in his heart, but he didn't know where this likable Mr. Pu had gone now, whether he had been killed by the demon tree, and finally turned into the fruit of the human head tree.

"Found it!" Gu Yan cheered.

Jia Chen lowered his head, only to see Gu Yan holding a package from the house like a treasure, Gu Yan said while unraveling it: "This is my husband's handwriting, hey, in this chaos, I don't know if Mr. can escape, if he can't escape, these things will become his relics." ”

He said a little sentimentally and unfolded a short scroll inside, on which were written four words: Calm the heart and give birth to wisdom, iron trees and silver strokes, magnificent, and it is really a good word.

But Jia Chen's face gradually turned white, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

－－－－

"Sir, go this way!" Zhao Ran walked straight towards Shen Fang's courtyard, even if it wasn't for Lu Tian, he had to go back to check the bamboo tube, if he lost half of the token, he would be trapped in this strange twenty years ago.

He also made up his mind, if Jiuru was suspicious, he would tell him everything about it as it was, and I believe that Jiuru would also tell him all the coefficients he knew.

Maybe then they can unravel the part that is unknown to each other.

Shen Fanglone's courtyard is still the same, and the orchid and green bamboo in the pavilion are just the part close to the bamboo forest that has been picked up.

Lu Tian has been here!But where has he gone now?

Jiuru said: "It seems that there is nothing unusual here, let's go to other courtyards to have a look." ”

Zhao Ran pressed the doubts in his heart, and followed Jiuru towards the other courtyards, and suddenly there was an exclamation in the distance.

"East!" said Zhaoran, and Jiuru grabbed his arm a few times before coming to the place where he screamed.

"Murder, murder!" shouted a man running around.

Zhao Ran recognized the person who screamed, his name was Yan Dan, he was an old student of the academy, because he had never been able to pass the Guozijian exam, he had been in the academy for several years, he was older, so he was more friendly to everyone, including Zhao Ran, a weird boy who was not very likable to everyone, he had to smile a few times when he saw it.

"Zizhong, who was killed!" someone asked.

Yan Dan pointed to the pavilion in front of him and stammered: "When I was inspecting with Gu Kuan, he said that his chest was a little tight, and I saw that his face was a little pale, so I thought that when he fled, he was frightened, so I let him rest in the pavilion for a while." Then Gu Kuan said that he was a little hungry, and I just remembered that there were some pastries in my room, so I went to the room to get them for him. Who knows, who knows, when I came, I found that Gu Kuan's eyes were wide open, and there was a lot of blood in his vest, as if someone had stabbed him, and he had died of anger. ”

Zhaoran said: "Let's go, take a look ahead." ”

Everyone followed him and ran in the direction of the pavilion, but when they ran to the front of the pavilion, they didn't see Gu Kuan's figure.

"What about people?"

"That's right, didn't you say that Gu Kuan was killed, and what about his corpse?"

"It's not far from here to that pavilion, can't the corpse run away with long legs?"

Yan Dan was so anxious that he circled around the pavilion several times, and kept muttering in his mouth: "Impossible, Gu Kuan is really dead, I have also touched his snort, but there is no breath at all, and there is no pulse and neck at all." ”

"This demon tree will hurt people, it is difficult to guarantee that Gu Kuan has been poisoned, and he will cheat the corpse after death. Some students speculated apprehensively.

At this moment, there are really any speculations that are believed, not to mention that Yan Dan just ran out for just a dozen steps, and Gu Kuan's corpse disappeared, except for the corpse, there is really no better explanation.

Who is the murderer? Did Gu Kuan deceive the corpse?

For a while, the scene was silent, and suddenly a piercing "squeak" was heard, and everyone was startled, and when they turned their heads to look, they found that it was Jia Chen and Gu Yan who walked out of the opposite door.

Gu Yan saw them and was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why are you all gathered here?"

"Didn't you hear Zi shouting about murder?" asked a student.

Gu Yan was taken aback: "Killed, who was killed?"

"It's Gu Kuan. Jiuru asked, "What were you two doing in the room just now?"

"We just went back to the room and got some of our things, and we vaguely heard the noise just now, but we didn't hear it exactly, so we didn't know what was going on outside. Gu Yan was a little stubborn, and everyone saw that he really had an extra burden on him.

Yan Dan said with a solemn face: "What time is it, you are still nostalgic for things outside your body, your courtyard and the Immortal Pavilion face to face, if you have that little bit of heart, you will not take advantage of the murderer!"

Gu Yan lowered his head, and Jia Chen said with a pale face: "He came back to get Mr.'s handwriting, Mr. Pu's life and death are unknown, and it is good to have this opportunity to bring it." ”

Yan Dan's face softened slightly, and he respected the teacher, it is better for Gu Yan to come back and get his husband's handwriting than to come back to get the property. ”

Zhao Ran said: "Except for Yan Dan, there is no one who goes out alone. ”

Everyone else shook their heads, Gu Yan glanced at Jia Chen, but he didn't say anything, but he knew very well in his heart that just when he was rummaging through the cabinets in the house, he was about to take the rest of his belongings away, and he did hear the door outside ringing, who else in this courtyard would open the door at that moment except Jia Chen?
