Volume 5 Downfall Beiwang Cloud Monument Chapter 17 Corpse
After everyone left, Zhuo Hua turned around and asked Su Mengling, "Ling'er, do you want to go back to Genting Heavenly Palace with me?"
Su Mengling's eyes came back to her senses from the daze, she let out an "ah", and then reacted and replied: "If the eldest brother wants to ask me, I will naturally think about it." However, I have heard that people who have not cultivated cannot stay in the Heavenly Palace for a long time. ”
"It's not simple, I'll teach you to cultivate. Zhuo Hua said nonchalantly.
"I'm just a Puren, I don't have the Xuanhuang bloodline and I'm not a member of the Seven Clans of Immortal Descent, how easy is it to practice!" Su Mengling lowered his head, and the inferiority complex of being a Puren arose.
"It's okay, the birth defects in your bloodline will make your cultivation slower at most. Supplemented by magic weapons concocted by secret methods, it is also a good choice to be a KitKat craftsman. ”
"KitKat craftsman, me?" asked Su Mengling in surprise.
"Yes!"
"How is this possible? A mortal-level Qi Determination Bead costs tens of thousands of gold, and those magic weapons refined by secret methods are all priceless treasures, not to mention finding a KitKat craftsman to help create them. How can our Su family support it!" Su Mengling waved his hand again and again in disbelief.
Zhuo Hua laughed, patted his chest and said, "In this void, no one can beat me in the Kit Kat Void Technique. Naturally, I will help you refine the magic weapon. You can rest assured! I have these things, you don't have to worry. Let's go back to your house first. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhuo Hua took Su Mengling's hand and rose into the air. In an instant, Su Mengling was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her hands tightly wrapped around Zhuo Hua's neck. His eyes kept looking down, and he was half frightened to death when he looked at it, and immediately closed it.
In a moment, Zhuo Hua had already come to the door of Sufu. The foreground of the door is the same, but it is no longer human.
Zhuo Hua saw Su Mengling standing at the door of his house, looking at the door of his house in a daze, and knew that this girl was worried again, so he said with relief: "They will get your father back soon, you don't have to worry." With me, your dad will be fine. ”
Su Mengling nodded and began to walk into the house.
The door was hidden, Zhuo Hua pushed it gently, and the door creaked open.
"No one at home?" Zhuo Hua sensed that something was wrong. Even though the old man of the Su family likes to be clean on weekdays, there are not many servants in the first place, but there must be someone in this gatehouse.
The two of them came all the way to the main hall with a full stomach full of suspicions, only to see Su Bo sweeping in the bamboo garden outside the hall.
Su Mengling took two quick steps and stepped forward to ask Su Bo, "Uncle Su, why are you the only one in the family?"
When Su Bo heard someone ask him, he slowly raised his head, and when he saw that it was Su Mengling, he was taken aback, and the broom in his hand fell to the ground with a click.
"Miss, is it really you, Miss!" Su Bo burst into tears, his hands trembling like dead trees stretched out, and he grabbed Su Mengling's arm and pressed it hard.
"It's Miss, it's Miss who is back. The old man turned to joy and cried with joy, "It's okay, it's good to be back." ”
"I'm fine! Let Su Bo worry, Ling'er is at fault. Su Mengling was like a little granddaughter, snuggling her head on Su Bo's shoulder.
"Where's that, what a mistake, Miss! Miss must be hungry after tossing and turning outside all day! I'll go and make you something to eat." With that, Su Bo turned around and was about to leave.
Su Mengling grabbed Su Bo's arm and hurriedly asked, "Su Bo, what about the other people in this mansion, why are you alone at home?"
Su Bo didn't look back, just replied with a sideways face: "Miss, you can't blame them for this. I have heard that our Su family has been occupied by Yan Duyun, and the life and death of the master are uncertain, these subordinates are all people who have received the favor of the master, so naturally they will not be willing to follow the master who likes male style. They all scattered. ”
"But why don't you leave?" asked Su Mengling.
"I grew up in the Su family since I was a child, I watched your master grow up, and then I watched the young lady grow up, I have lived in the Su family all my life, where can I go?" Su Bo said, tears came out again.
"Where can these guys go? Haven't they been arrested by the government and sent back when they get outside? What a bunch of fools. Su Mengling said angrily.
Su Bo suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned around and asked, "Miss, why are you two coming back, master?" Why didn't you go back with you?"
Su Mengling replied vaguely: "Daddy, something happened to him... He won't be able to go back to his house now..."
The more Su Bo listened, the more confused he became, Zhuo Hua pulled Su Mengling back at this time, and gave Su Bo a salute one step above, and Su Bo also bowed back with a blank face.
Zhuo Hua said: "Master Su is not very well, and he can't come back for the time being. I guess I'll be home at dusk. However, you will need to recuperate for some time before you can go out of the house. ”
Su Bo nodded as if he didn't understand, and then turned to the side and said, "It's good to come back, it's okay!"
Zhuo Hua looked at Su Mengling, Su Mengling smiled apologetically, and said, "Su Bo is old, and sometimes his brain can't turn around. ”
Zhuo Hua shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, and then he said to Su Mengling: "Mengling, you go back to your room and rest! ”
Su Mengling looked up at the gradually darkening sky, nodded, turned around and walked in the direction of his boudoir. After walking for two steps, he turned around and said to Zhuo Hua: "My father must call me when he comes back." ”
Zhuo Hua nodded with a smile and waved at her to let her go.
After everyone left, Zhuo Hua's heart suddenly quieted down. Only then did he have time to perceive the qi bead in his body.
"Where is the qualification of the sixth grade, where is the ninth grade, Yan Duyun, this fool has been deceived. Zhuo Hua muttered to himself.
He tried to make the true qi condense quickly, but after several attempts, he was not satisfied, and then shook his head and came to the hall.
Just then, there was a noisy sound of footsteps outside the door.
Zhuo Hua got up and came to the courtyard and stood under the eaves.
Twilight hurriedly led a group of people to Zhuo Hua, and put down a stretcher covered with a white cloth and a large wooden box.
He panted and clenched his fists and told Zhuo Hua: "Qi Yuanjun, Su Kuan's body and the materials of the divine stone have been delivered, please ask Yuanjun to check it." ”
Zhuo Hua nodded, said hard work, and then came to the stretcher, squatted down and reached out to lift the white cloth on his face. The hand hovered in mid-air for a long time, and he took a breath before turning it over.
After only one glance, he closed his eyes, and the expression on his face was extremely painful.
Twilight, who was beside him, hurriedly explained: "Master Su was abandoned by that bastard boy to a mass grave outside the city, where there are many wild dogs. By the time we arrived, we had been gnawed beyond recognition. The minister didn't dare to conclude that it was Master Su, so he hurriedly sent someone to find the official who abandoned him to identify it, so he delayed for some time. Don't blame Yuanjun. ”
Zhuo Hua stood up and waved his hand without saying a word to let Twilight Breeze leave. In the twilight of the wind, after a long sigh of relief, he hurriedly made a gesture and respectfully withdrew from the Su Mansion.
"Even if you call the officials, I'm afraid those two officials won't dare to take a closer look at such a corpse. Zhuo Hua thought to himself.
He paced back and forth, and finally decided to ask Su Mengling.
So he walked through the winding cobblestone paths and rows of bamboo forests to Su Mengling's courtyard.
After three knocks, the door creaked open from the inside.
"I didn't sleep!" Zhuo Hua asked with a little embarrassment as he withdrew his hand from knocking on the door.
"No, although I was very tired, I couldn't calm down, so I wrote something at my desk. Su Mengling rubbed her temples and said.
Zhuo Hua turned around and just closed the door, but the window next to the desk was somehow blown open by a gust of wind. The spring cold was precipitous, and the cold wind blew up the letterhead on a desk and fell fluttering in front of Zhuo Hua.
Zhuo Hua stretched out his hand to catch it and turned it over to see that it was a small poem with a four-line font:
Jun Ben has no intention of the foothills
However, he poured his heart into the torrent
Let it be cold and ravines
The ice melts on the Pingchuan River
Zhuo Hua knew what Su Mengling meant after reading it, holding the letterhead in his hand, but his eyes were a little sloppy.
"Big brother, it's all Ling'er's cranky thoughts when she is restless, and I also know that my father hasn't been resurrected yet, so I shouldn't think about this. After speaking, he reached out and took back the letterhead in Zhuo Hua's hand.
This time, Zhuo Hua's thoughts were pulled back to Su Jing, and he coughed lightly twice and asked, "By the way, Mengling, does your father have any other marks on his body?" The search officials were very dead-eyed, and they had to be very sure before they would bring people back. ”
"Like a birthmark or something?" Su Mengling asked.
"That's right, like birthmarks or wounds or stuff. ”
Su Mengling looked up and looked sideways, put a finger on his chin and thought for a while, and said, "I really don't know if Daddy has a birthmark." However, that year, when the temple was attacked by the tiger demon, my father used his right arm to block a tiger demon's claw blow for me. There was a lot of blood and a very deep wound. I think he still has a few more scars on his right arm. ”
Zhuo Hua nodded, turned around and prepared to return to the courtyard to examine the corpse again. walked to the door, thought about it, and returned to Mengling and said, "Ling'er, the night is getting darker and the cold is thicker, so don't go out." I'll ask Sub to make you something to eat, so you can rest early after eating. ”
Su Mengling saw him turn around, thinking that it was because of the little poem on the letterhead, his heart beat violently, and his face turned red instantly. But after listening to what he said, it had nothing to do with this matter, and he was a little stupid. So he only answered with an "oh".
Zhuo Hua returned to the courtyard, lit a torch and pulled the sleeve of the corpse's right arm, which was very smooth and without any huge scars. And Zhuo Hua carefully inspected the corpse, his size, beard and clothing were not bad at all, but the skin of this corpse was obviously more elastic than Su Jing, that is, the deceased was younger.
"Could it be that the body was dropped? Who did it? Was it Twilight? But was it necessary for him to do it?"
