Chapter 346: The Other Shore of Time (26)
Aside from the fact that there was no big hole in the body, this corpse was the same as the last time July saw Hua Liang's corpse. She had been drained from top to bottom, and her body had been dead for a while, and now it was stiff, and when she fell to the ground, it looked like a dead tree.
July looked at the corpse from top to bottom, and after a while, July frowned and asked Yun Zhongge thoughtlessly, "What do you think?"
"Ahh
July pursed her lips, the reason why she asked this was because July suddenly thought of a question, whether it was the day before yesterday or the day before yesterday, Yun Zhongge generally went to the suburbs, which means that Yun Zhongge may have found some clues, so he will track them there, and the most likely place to find clues is on the corpse.
"Yes. What did you find?" July continued to ask the Song in the Clouds.
"Uh-huh......" Yun Zhongge muttered for a moment, then shook his head.
July was a little disappointed, could it be that the result was different because the people who died were different?
July knows about the butterfly effect, and it seems that it is because the wings of his butterfly have fanned the plot crookedly. July was slightly disappointed, but then July was relieved, no matter what the reason, today she must go to the suburbs with Yun Zhongge, hoping to find some clues today, so that even if it can't be solved today, it will lay a good foundation for tomorrow!
Since nothing was found on the corpse, July and Yun Zhongge planned to leave. July turned to leave, but just as she was about to leave, her eyes accidentally glanced at her. I saw a small dark blue thing swaying in the wind between the grass not far away.
"Huh, what's that?" July paused in her footsteps, and she muttered to herself as she pushed aside the grass and walked over. Bent down and picked it up.
A dark blue cloth, it looks like it was scraped off by a tree branch!
The texture of this cloth is very common, but there is a faint embroidery on the edge that looks like a bamboo leaf. The pattern seems to be some years old, worn and worn, and the pattern of this pattern makes July feel very familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere, but she can't remember where she saw it.
"What is this?" Yun Zhongge took the strip of cloth from July's hand and looked at it. And then said to July.
"I don't know, but this place is so remote that few people usually come, and this strip of cloth is obviously freshly scraped. I think. It should have been left by the murderer!" replied July.
"Well, that makes sense," Yun Zhongge nodded in agreement, and then continued, "I think we can go to the library in the academy to have a look, I just remembered what you said, since "I" told you that this thing is related to the great demon of the ancients. This should say a lot about what I found out later. But I also know very little about the legends of the ancients, so how can I be so sure that this thing has something to do with that demon? The only way I can think of knowing it now is to go to the library to check the ancient books, maybe I also found some clues through this way yesterday, so we should go there and have a look. ”
Yun Zhongge handed the strip of cloth to July again, and July carefully put it in the purse in his arms.
July fully agreed with Yun Zhongge's proposal, so the two of them did not hesitate and went directly to the library.
The library of Tai Academy is the largest library building in the whole Qingguo, and the library is divided into five floors. It's full of ancient books that have been left behind for generations, and it has everything in it. Many of them are still unique books, so the value of the entire book pavilion cannot be described by money at all, this is the place of the Tai Academy Town.
The person who read the library was an old man who was blind in one eye, and July felt that he was well-informed, but he was still taken aback when he saw this old man. This man was extremely ugly, he was very thin, his arms were as thin as bamboo poles, and there was no flesh on his face, even his eye sockets were buttoned in. The skin was densely covered with countless scars, the largest of which went straight across his blind right eye and down to his chin, as if his entire face had been split in half. His lips had been cut open by the scar, and through the slash, July could even see some of his blackened teeth and shriveled gums.
The old man didn't speak, just looked at the two uninvited guests, Qiyue and Yunzhongge, with his dim acting skills. Yun Zhongge was obviously a frequent visitor, so he easily reached out and took it out in his arms, and then took out a palm-sized wooden plaque carved from rosewood and handed it to the old man.
This wooden plaque is a piece that every student of Tai Academy will have, as a way to prove their identity. Seeing that Yun Zhongge was like this, July took out his own piece and put it into the old man's palm like a chicken claw.
Seeing that Yun Zhongge and Qiyue showed the wooden card of the Tai Academy, the old man nodded, and then took out the key to open the heavy copper lock on the door of the Library, allowing the two of them to enter.
"Lingbo, where are the books about the ancients?" shouted to the one-eyed old man who was guarding the door.
Yun Zhongge often comes to the Library, so he is more familiar with the old man who guards the door, and Lingbo's ears are not very good, so he can only hear it if he shouts.
"Ahh The sound was as if a sharp object had been sliced through glass, and it was extremely harsh.
Lingbo stretched out his withered finger and pointed upstairs, and then spat out two words: "Top." layer."
Yun Zhongge nodded to Lingbo after hearing this, and then asked Shangqi to turn around and leave, but before he could take a few steps, Qiyue felt his arm tighten, and when he turned around, he saw Lingbo pulling his arm.
July felt shocked, she thought that she also had five senses, but this old man was so close to herself, but she didn't notice it at all, which made July feel creepy, she didn't expect that this dry and thin old man was actually a master, if he wanted to kill himself, it would be easy.
"You...... What's the matter?" July asked, then quietly pulling his arm back.
Lingbo didn't continue to pull July's arm, his eyes were staring straight at July, to be exact, he was staring at the hairpin on July's head.
He stared at it for a long time with the cloudy eyes that were the only one left, and then slowly opened his mouth and said to July, "You are." Wind family. ?”
"Hmm," July nodded.
July wondered how the old man knew!
"Alas!" the old man sighed, then shook his head.
He didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
"Sure enough, sure enough!" the old man's hoarse voice faintly reached July's ears.
Sure enough, July felt that this old man was very strange, but the old man's skills made July a little jealous, so he didn't immediately go forward to ask.
"What is the origin of the old man?" asked July to Yun Zhongge.
Yun Zhongge thought about Qiyue's question, and then said, "I don't know very well, I only know that his name is Lingbo, I once heard my grandfather talk about him by chance, it is said that he once served the first emperor, and then I don't know why he entered the Yellow Sea, the Yellow Sea has always been back, but he actually came out of his life, but he was also disfigured because of this, and he only ended up like this!"
