Yun Moqian smiled faintly and said eloquently: "This bronze statue is from the hand of a hidden refining master, and it is a high-grade Dao weapon, and he named this Dao weapon 'Nine Evils'. ”

"Jiusha, it's actually a high-grade Dao vessel, what is the purpose of that?" said the fifth prince as he reached out to touch the bronze statue.

Yun Moqian stopped him in time: "Be careful, don't touch!"

The fifth prince suddenly withdrew his hand and looked at Yun Moqian's nervous expression in dismay: "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?

The rest of the people also felt that Yun Moqian was making a little fuss.

"Fifth brother, you misunderstood what I meant. I haven't finished what I said just now...... "Yun Moqian squeezed through the crowd, came to the opposite side of the fifth prince, and patiently explained, "The reason why this Dao weapon is called the Nine Evils is because it has a great evil aura and cannot be touched casually. According to this refining master, anyone who touches any of the strange beasts on the bronze statue will definitely be killed by the strange beasts within seven days, and so far, nine people have fulfilled it. ”

"What, how is that possible?" the crowd was in an uproar.

Yunxi raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't believe that there was such a strange thing in this world at all, most of them were Yun Moqian's cautious eyes, afraid that everyone would break or covet his bronze statue, so he deliberately said this, resting in the maze, so that everyone was afraid and didn't dare to touch his bronze statue.

"Don't believe it, what I'm saying is true. Yun Moqian eagerly explained, "The nine people who died were all disciples and relatives of that refining master, and it is said that they had all touched the strange beasts on the bronze statues one after another, and their corpses obviously left scratches that belonged to the strange beasts, and they were all caught alive, without exception, they were all killed within seven days." The master originally refined the Nine Evils for the sake of novelty and self-challenging skills, but he did not want to kill so many people, he was so grieved that he was reluctant to destroy his own work with his own hands. I happened to meet me to visit him, and inadvertently told him that our Yun Clan invited a monk from Fanyin Temple, and he asked me to bring this thing to the Yun Clan, hoping that the monk would eliminate the evil qi for it. ”

"Is it true? Is there really such an evil sect?" the fifth prince hesitated, and unconsciously took a step back.

The sixth lady snorted coldly at him, and said mockingly: "Coward, where is there such an evil thing in this world? I think it is most likely that the enemy of this refining master came to the door to seek revenge and killed his disciples and relatives, and the master could not find the murderer, so he pushed the real murderer to the strange beast of the Nine Evils, which is really ridiculous." ”

Hearing her say this, everyone's frightened mood suddenly relaxed, yes, how can there be such a strange thing in this world?

Yunxi also agrees with her statement, generally this kind of bizarre incident occurs, most of which are caused by human factors.

The fifth prince was embarrassed on his face, and snorted: "Are you bold, if you are really bold, then you go and touch it, if you dare to touch the strange beast on the side, I will not call you sixth sister in the future, I will call you sixth sister!"

He was distinctly childish, and everyone burst into laughter.

"Touch, touch! I've never been afraid of ghosts. The sixth lady pulled her cuffs, approached her, and said to everyone, "Everyone is optimistic, testify for me, from today onwards, I will be his sixth sister!"

She reached out and slowly touched the strange beast facing her on the bronze statue.

"Stop!" "Eldest Miss Yun Yuanyuan shouted at her nervously, and shook her head at her, "Sixth sister, don't be rash, ghosts and gods would rather believe in what they have than what they don't." Your brother-in-law also said that the Nine Evils are extremely dangerous things, and nine lives have been lost for this. Why should you gamble your life for the sake of a moment of righteousness? After a few days, after inviting the monks of Fanyin Temple to exceed, it will not be too late for you to enjoy it carefully. ”

After saying that, she glanced at her husband with resentment, as if to blame him for not taking out such a dangerous thing at this time. Yun Moqian smiled guiltily, and also persuaded: "Sixth sister, your eldest sister is right, don't be rash." Fifth brother, you too, why do you want to be angry with your sixth sister? You know that she has a competitive temperament and can't be provoked, don't you deliberately put your sixth sister in danger?"

"Brother-in-law, can you blame me for this? She first said that I was a coward, and since she said that I was a coward, then she proved to me that she was not a coward. The fifth prince pursed his face and snorted coldly in displeasure.

The sixth lady raised her eyebrows coldly and sneered at him: "You are a coward, this has long been a recognized fact, do you still need me to talk about it?"

"You ......" the fifth prince was angry, pointing to the bronze statue and said, "You are bold, then you can touch it and take a look." If you don't dare to touch it, you won't be qualified to call me a coward in the future!"

"Who's afraid of whom?" Miss Six's eyes widened, completely aroused.

"Sixth sister!" Yun Yuanyuan and his wife spoke out in unison to dissuade, but unfortunately it was too late, and the sixth young lady's right hand touched one of the strange beasts that resembled the head of a snake and a tiger.

This moment happened too suddenly.

Most of them took a step back in unison, staring at Miss Six's hand with wide eyes to see what strange things would happen. Yun Yuanyuan and his wife stepped forward together, trying to stop her.

Yunxi stood in place, his eyes fixed on the bronze statue, without blinking. Since it is a high-grade Taoist device, it must have its special function, right?

Time passed little by little, and Miss Six's expression also changed from the previous awe-inspiring to the puzzled to the final release and smiled, she slowly withdrew her hand and laughed at everyone: "Everyone saw it, nothing!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, everyone said that they didn't believe it, but their minds were more or less affected by Yun Moqian's words.

"Brother-in-law, I said that you are not making up a story to scare us? If you feel sorry for your baby, just say it, there is no need to scare us like this, right? We don't want to slander your baby. The sixth lady laughed, with a proud and proud face, and looked in the direction of the fifth son, and said, "Fifth brother, you can remember, you have to call my sister from today on." ”

"Phew, I'll be your fifth brother until I die!" said the fifth prince with a red face and unconvinced.

"Coward!" the sixth lady glared at him with disdain.

The fifth prince was looked at by her like this, and the hot blood in his body was completely stimulated, and he looked at each other with her: "Isn't it just to touch it? What's the big deal? If you dare to touch it, I dare to touch it!"

In order not to be looked down upon by his sister, the fifth prince went out, rolled up his sleeves, and reached out to touch the same strange beast despite everyone's obstruction.

Everyone held their breath again and watched as his expression changed.

The expression on the face of the fifth prince was very strange, looking at it pretending to be calm and frightened, and after three counts, he pretended to be calm and put his hand back, waved it in the air, demonstrated to everyone, and laughed: "How is it?

Everyone shook their heads and chuckled, just watching a play.

There was only a worried look on the faces of the eldest lady and his wife, they looked at the fifth prince and the sixth lady, shook their heads and were worried, and then hurriedly asked people to put away the bronze statue, and no one else was allowed to touch it.

The dinner party ended quickly, and the eldest lady ordered Yun Zhongsheng to escort Yun Xi to Yun Zhongtian's residence, and sent several masters to escort the fifth prince and the sixth lady back to their respective mansions, and the dinner party came to an end.

On the way out of the eldest lady's mansion, Yunxi thought carefully about what happened tonight, tonight's dinner was originally arranged for her, she was ready to accept all kinds of storms and rains, who would have thought that except for a little friction with the leopard in the clouds at the beginning, it would be calm, what the hell is going on?

Is she too careful?

While thinking about it, Yun Zhongsheng suddenly spoke: "What do you think of that Nine Demons? Is it really that evil?"

Yunxi glanced at it and said with a faint smile: "I haven't touched it again, how do I know if it's evil or not?" If you want to know if it's evil, it's better to see if your fifth brother and sixth sister will be okay in the near future." If they survive the curse for seven days safely, then it means that the Nine Evils are nonsense, and if something really happens to them within seven days, then it is difficult to say......"

Yun Zhongsheng glanced at her meaningfully, and said bluntly: "Have you been worried about how my brothers and sisters will embarrass you tonight?"

Yunxi was silent, she did think so.

Yun Zhongsheng smiled lowly: "I've heard about your mother, but it's all a feud between the previous generation, and we can't tell which is right or wrong." My mother is the palace master of the Yun Clan, and she rarely has the opportunity to get together with our brothers and sisters on weekdays. We don't know what she was thinking. Tonight, my mother explained that my eldest sister came to greet you, which is enough to show that she has no ill will towards you so far. You've seen my eldest sister too, and you should be able to understand what kind of temperament she has......"

He nodded, quickened his pace, passed her, and walked forward.

Yunxi was slightly stunned, and became more and more confused, why did he sue her about this? What is his purpose?

"Not far ahead, there is the dwelling place of Yun Zhongtian. Yun Zhongsheng pointed to an isolated courtyard in front of him and said.

The exterior decoration of the small courtyard is very simple, without any luxury, and there are two proud pines planted in front of the door, isolated between the surrounding tall and luxurious buildings and palaces, which has a special style of its own.

Is this where my brother lives?

Yun Zhongsheng took the lead, came to the door of the small courtyard, and was about to step forward and knock on the door, at this time, a person came from not far away, and greeted him from a distance: "Sheng Gongzi!"

Yunxi turned his head to look and saw the messenger again.

"Young Master Sheng, Miss Yunxi, you are here to find Yun Zhongtian, you don't have to look for it, Yun Zhongtian was ordered to be punished by the palace master, imprisoned in the Siguo Palace, and can only be released after ten days. ”

"What did you say? My brother was locked up, why?" Yunxi was furious.

Yun Zhongtian disobeyed his orders, did not return for a long time, and once killed several masters of the Yun Clan who pursued him. If the palace master hadn't read it for his past merits and special status for the Yun Clan, I am afraid that the punishment would have been even more severe. Now it's only ten days of imprisoning him, which is already the greatest mercy of the palace master. ”

"Where is Siguo Palace, I want to see him!" Yunxi said urgently.

"Is it possible for anyone to enter the temple of thought?"

Yun Zhongsheng interjected and interrupted the conversation between the two: "Don't worry, as he said, my mother is just Guan Tian's ten-day confinement, which is indeed the lightest punishment." ”

The person who came nodded and echoed Yun Zhongsheng and said: "When the villain came, Tiangongzi specially asked the villain to bring a word, let me tell Miss Yunxi, let you be at ease, don't take the risk to see him." Ten days later, he will come to you personally, and on the days when he is away, he will let you stay at Shenggongzi's place, saying that Shenggongzi is trustworthy. ”

"He, trustworthy?" Yun Xi glanced at Yun Zhongsheng suspiciously, she hadn't forgotten who tricked her into the duck shop during the day.

Yun Zhongsheng's cheeks flushed suspiciously, knowing the meaning of her glance, he coughed lightly: "Senior Brother Tian promised to help me participate in the Ten Thousand Lotus Festival, and in return, I will take good care of his sister." I think Senior Brother Tian may have expected that he would be punished early on, so he showed me favor in advance and prepared early. ”

"Forget it, I'd rather trust myself than you. I'm not going anywhere, I'm just here waiting for my brother to come back. Yunxi pushed aside the two of them and walked straight towards the small courtyard in front of him.

Yun Zhongsheng's face froze, and he snorted coldly: "Do you believe it or not! I'm too lazy to take care of you, so you can do it yourself." ”

He turned around and was about to leave angrily, and before leaving, he did not forget to leave a word: "A word of advice for you, don't try to think about the temple." Don't say that you are unfamiliar with the place and can't find the way at all. Even if you figure out the way to the Siguo Palace, and there are masters guarding the Siguo Palace, it is impossible for you to enter lightly. You'd better not cause trouble to Senior Brother Tian at this time, otherwise Senior Brother Tian's punishment time will be extended because of you......"

Seeing him walk away, Yunxi calmed down and thought about it carefully, maybe what he said was right, if she trespassed on the territory of the Yun clan and angered the palace master, then it was her brother who would be implicated at that time, and she must not involve her brother.

Before her brother escapes safely, she had better restrain herself and not make any movement, so wait patiently for her brother to come back in the small courtyard.

With an idea in his heart, Yunxi settled in the small courtyard with peace of mind.

My brother's life is already elegant and indifferent, so there are no subordinates in the courtyard, and she is the only one in the entire courtyard, which is convenient for her to move freely.

I slept until midnight, and suddenly there was a commotion outside the small courtyard, and I don't know what happened.

Knock knock!

The sound of an eager knock woke her up, and Yunxi simply dressed up and went to open the door.

The person who came was none other than Yun Zhongsheng.

"Why are you here, what's going on?" Yunxi saw that there were many people running back and forth on the street outside the door, as if they were running to tell each other something, and they all looked flustered.

Yun Zhongsheng looked at her calmly, but said something that made Yunxi uneasy: "My fifth brother and sixth sister...... They're dead. ”

Yunxi sighed in his heart, greatly surprised. He's dead?

Yun Zhongsheng seemed to read her heart, nodded vigorously, and said, "Yes, they just touched the strange beast on the Nine Demons at the dinner tonight, and they died in the middle of the night. ”

"Impossible!" Yunxi almost reflexively rejected his idea, she would rather believe that it was man-made than believe that there was really something strange in this world.

"I just came from the fifth brother's mansion, and I was about to rush to the sixth sister's mansion to visit, so I will inform you by the way, after all, ...... You also attended tonight's dinner. Yun Zhongsheng's face was a little solemn, and there was a little sadness in his eyes, two relatives died in one night, if he wasn't sad at all, then he really had no humanity.

"Let's take a look. Yunxi was curious and wanted to find out.

When the two of them arrived at the mansion of the sixth lady, the eldest lady and the others all arrived at the scene one step earlier, and Yun Yuanyuan ordered to drive everyone else away, leaving only a few people who were attending the dinner at the eldest lady's mansion tonight to stay at the scene.

Yun Yuanyuan's expression was very sad, and there were tears on her cheeks: "Everyone has seen it, the fifth brother and the sixth sister are dead, it's all my fault, I should have stopped them early, I shouldn't have let them touch that evil thing." ”

"Yuanyuan, it's not your fault, it's me, I shouldn't have taken out the Nine Evils for everyone to watch. If I hadn't taken it out, the fifth and sixth brothers wouldn't have competed and touched it. I'm sorry for them!" Yun Moqian put his arm on his wife's shoulders and said apologetically.

Yun Yuanyuan twisted her body and coldly left him away, the meaning was self-evident, she was blaming him. If he hadn't suddenly made up his mind and brought the Nine Evils to everyone to watch, how could there be a tragedy tonight?

The rest of the people looked at each other, and the facts of tonight were too strange. At the time of the dinner, the fifth prince and the sixth lady had just touched the Nine Evils, and they didn't think that they would die before the night had passed, could it really be that the curse of the Nine Evils had been fulfilled?

"Can I take a look at her wounds?" Yunxi suddenly interjected.

Yun Yuanyuan made way for her, Yunxi squatted down, carefully examined Miss Liu's wound, and found that her fatal wound was near the major artery in her neck, looking at the scars, as if she had been injured by a sharp claw or something.

Her mind flashed through the strange beast with the body of a snake and a tiger's head, and if she remembered correctly, the strange beast had two tiger claws, which matched the marks of the wound.

Could it really be that the so-called strange beast is doing the trick?

"Is the same with the injuries on the Fifth Prince's body?" Yunxi asked, remembering that the two of them had touched the same strange beast.

Yun Yuanyuan shouted tears and nodded: "The fifth brother's injury is almost exactly the same as the sixth sister's injury, both of them are injured on the neck, and even the scars are the same, like being ...... Scratched by a tiger's claws. ”

Her words fell, and the scene became extremely silent for a moment.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Could it be the curse of the Nine Evils?"

There was a gasp, and it was clear that everyone was thinking that way.

"That's right! It must be the Nine Evils who are doing the trick, I remember that the strange beast that the sixth sister and the fifth brother encountered tonight was the one with the tiger's claws, and they accidentally offended the strange beast, so they were punished. Yun Linlin screamed in fright, and the whole person hid behind Yun Zhongsheng, her face pale.

"It's bad, it's bad, we were all by the side of the fifth brother and the sixth sister at the time, will we also suffer retribution with them?" The fourth lady covered her mouth, worried, "The martial arts of the fifth brother and the sixth sister are not bad, and there are masters around to protect them, but they are still killed so lightly, how terrifying and powerful should that strange beast be?"

"Fourth sister, eighth sister, don't call indiscriminately? Now that the matter has not been clarified, how can you think that it must be the person killed by the strange beast? Anyway, I don't believe it! Someone must have been dissatisfied with the fifth brother and sixth sister for a long time, and deliberately wanted to murder them. Yun Zhongsheng rationally interrupted the exclamations of the two.

"What the tenth brother said is right, this matter is strange, and you can't make judgments. The Ninth Prince, who has always been taciturn, also spoke, and he had the same attitude as Yun Zhongsheng, "That's right, eldest sister." Didn't you send a master to protect the fifth brother and the sixth sister tonight? What about those masters? Didn't you find anything wrong?"

"We sent a master to escort them, but when we got to their mansion, we went our separate ways. The fifth brother and the sixth sister each have their own masters to protect the mansion, if it is not a strong enemy, they are fully capable of dealing with it. Yun Yuanyuan said.

"And what about when the two of them each died?" Yunxi suddenly interjected.

Yun Yuanyuan was slightly stunned, and then replied: "I heard from the subordinates of the Fifth Brother's Mansion that he happened to have an accident at the time of the hour, and the subordinates heard his screams, so they rushed into the room, only to find that he was dead. The people were afraid, so they came to my house and told me about it. Soon after we arrived at the fifth brother's mansion, the people from the sixth sister's mansion also came, saying that the sixth sister was also killed, and the time when she was killed was almost the same as the fifth brother, but because of the distance between the two mansions, the people from the sixth sister's mansion came to inform later......"

Yunxi slowly stood up from the ground: "The blood from Miss Six's wound just coagulated, and from the time calculation, it was indeed killed at the time of the hour. In other words, the fifth prince and the sixth lady were killed at the same time and by the same means......"

It's okay if she doesn't say it, after such an analysis, everyone's backs can't help but chill.

That is to say, the possibility of human continuous crimes is ruled out, because it is impossible for a person to appear in two places at the same time to kill people, unless two people commit crimes together, or it is the curse of the Nine Evils, and it is a strange beast that kills people.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very strange.

At this time, someone suddenly broke in, startling everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the palace master was very angry when he learned the news of the murder of the fifth prince and the sixth miss, and now he ordered me to move the bodies of the fifth prince and the sixth miss to the Cloud Illusion Palace, and the palace master personally investigated the matter. ”

"I'll go with you and explain this to my mother. Yun Yuanyuan swept around and said to everyone, "You all go back to rest first, if there is anything, I will inform you tomorrow morning." ”

"I'll go with you to my mother. Yun Mo moved away.

Yun Yuanyuan didn't look at him, but acquiesced.

After explaining, the two of them followed the people from the Cloud Illusion Hall and took the corpse to the Cloud Illusion Palace.

The few people left behind looked at each other, only thinking that tonight's events were too weird, so they didn't say anything more and dispersed.

Yunxi and Yun Zhongsheng walked at the end, Yunxi observed the crime scene, but there was another thing in his mind. If this is not a curse of the Nine Evils, but a man-made thing, then who will it be?

The person this person killed was the son and daughter of the palace master, and in a sense, he was a fellow believer with her. Although the object of her revenge is not the children of the palace master, but the palace master himself.

What's going on?

If it was really man-made, could she join forces with this person to take revenge on the palace master?

"What are you thinking?" Yun Zhongsheng asked.

"Nothing. Yunxi shook his head.

"Don't you also believe in the Nine Curses, if it is man-made, who will be behind the scenes?" Yun Zhongsheng looked at her with an inquiring gaze, as if he wanted to see through her.

Yunxi's eyes flickered, and he suddenly understood his intentions, and snorted coldly: "Do you think I did it? I first arrived, and I didn't even know where their mansion door was opened, how could I kill them? Besides, these two people were killed at the same time, and I was only one person, how could I kill two people at the same time?"

"But you can do it with teleportation, you can kill one person, then move to another place and kill the second person. Yun Zhongsheng stared at her with burning eyes, trying to see her flaws.

"Please, if I really want to kill someone, I'll kill you first!You're the person I hate the most!" Yunxi rolled his eyes, rubbed his shoulder, and turned to leave.

It was his siblings who died, so what did it matter to her?

Yun Zhongsheng Junxiu's eyebrows pressed down, he sighed and shook his head, and caught up with her in a few steps: "I don't suspect you of murder, I'm just thinking, maybe this murderer, like you, also has a magical technique like the Movement Technique, so he can kill two people in a row at the same time." ”

Yunxi slowed down and pondered: "If it is really man-made, I think the murderer is among the few people who attended the dinner tonight, otherwise how would outsiders know that it was the fifth prince and the sixth lady who touched the strange beast, and it was a strange beast with tiger claws?"

Yun Zhongsheng nodded silently, agreeing with her statement.

"By the way, wasn't there any eyewitness at the time of the incident? If it was really a strange beast killing people, it was impossible that no one saw the figure of the strange beast, right?" Yunxi guessed.

"Yes, someone is unconscious outside my sixth sister's room, and he hasn't woken up yet, maybe he saw something. I'm afraid this person has been taken to the Cloud Illusion Hall by my mother now, and when I ask for news tomorrow, I'll tell you again. Yun Zhongsheng said.

Yunxi nodded, although it was none of her business, she was very interested in wanting to find out, after all, it was happening right under her nose.

"It's getting late, I'll send you back. Yun Zhongsheng looked at the sky and took the initiative to say.

"Why are you trying to spy on me?" Yunxi was very uncomfortable with his initiative to show overtures.

Yun Zhongsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You are really unreasonable! It was you who did rude things to me first, and you froze me in the courtyard for a night for no reason, making me lose face in front of everyone." It is human nature for me to be angry for a while, and to take revenge on you. After that, didn't you get revenge again? Why are you still angry with me? Can't we make peace with each other?"

"Peace?with you?, the son of an enemy?" Yunxi sneered, and pointed out the antagonistic relationship between the two of them.

Yun Zhongsheng's face also sank instantly, and there was something strange about the strange love flowing silently between the two.
