Chapter XVII
No one responded.
Everything was calm again, the vegetation was green, the air smelled of the soil warm and moist, and the battle was too short and too fast to leave a trace.
The golden light and the master behind it seemed to not exist at all, suddenly and then disappeared in an instant.
As soon as Ji Hongxiang calmed down, he immediately discovered the middle joint: since the ghost cultivator thought that it was the "master" who pursued him at the beginning, then in other words, the two had fought each other, and the ghost cultivator should have a certain understanding of the strength of the master, and he should also know that the golden light was extremely powerful to him...... Why, then, did he flee so calmly and deliberately stop when he thought the pursuer was the "master"? The only explanation is - a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!
Dead as geese......
The Missing Haruki ......
And...... Finally got the Xu steward of the jade pendant!
A thunderbolt came straight into my mind!
Jade pendant, ghost cultivation, life fire, puppet, people!
Ji Hongxiang's thoughts turned back and forth for a few moments, but he blinked an eye, and suddenly said in horror: "Oops! Mistaken! We're going to rush back right away! ”
Mu Yinxi was searching for clues that might be left around, and Yu Guang was catching a glimpse of an extremely fine black down, and suddenly heard Ji Hong's makeup, he immediately put away the feather that could only be pinched up with his fingernails, and intentionally raised the flying sword.
"Let's go!"
*
The sky is cloudless, and the spring breeze is warm.
On the trellises in the courtyard, there is a mutated red vine, the big red flowers are half withered, in the direction of the sun, the branches are swaying, the flower shadows are heavy, and a piece of blood red falls on the ground, and a black butterfly stops at the most bright red point, and the blood red flows and flows under the black scales......
A large rough palm reached out and chased away the black butterfly.
Red blood and red petals complement each other.
A female corpse in a maid's costume lay quietly in the middle of the flowers.
The hand first probed the corpse's snort, making sure that it was really no longer breathing.
"What the hell is going on?!" A thin layer of fine sweat had already broken out on the tip of Mu Wuzhong's nose, and someone dared to use a spell to kill someone in the mansion today!
The most terrifying thing is that none of the people in the palace, including the foundation building monks who came to congratulate him on his birthday, were unaware!
Either this person's skills are strange and unusual, or this person's cultivation has greatly surpassed them!
The former is a hidden scourge, the latter is a great threat!
"Before, during the banquet, I saw Yin Xi walking in a hurry, and he didn't come back for a long time, and I had doubts, so I came out to look for him, and I found this body in the direction pointed by several servants." Mu Yuan pondered, "At that time, there was a small servant and two maidservants with me, and then, that little servant immediately went to pray. ”
There was a faint hint of regret in those words, Mu Wuzhong didn't pay attention to it at all, he suddenly asked, "Have you seen any trace of that Mu Yinxi?!" ”
Mu Yuan shook his head: "There was no trace of him when I came here." ”
Could it be that Mu Yinxi is going to track down the master of killing? Mu Wuzhong secretly thought in his heart, Mu Chongyun can't get away for the time being, and he is still in the front hall to stabilize the overall situation, and the possible candidates who have the ability to start are all in the birthday banquet......
While Mu Wuzhong was thinking, the figures of Mu Yinxi and Ji Hongxiang appeared in their sight
The two of them were galloping, and when they saw the courtyard from afar, Ji Hongxiang's heart sank.
She saw the two elders of the Zong family, one of them was the more authoritative Mu Wuzhong, and the other elder was called Mu Yuan, who was said to be the new elder of the Zong family. These two elders from the Zong family have been in the Mu Mansion for a few days, and they can't easily move, and if they can come to this secluded courtyard, I'm afraid something big has happened!
What kind of big thing can labor the big frame of the two? Ji Hong can think of the reason with her makeup and hair - the so-called "plan to divert the tiger from the mountain" just now led her and Mu Yinxi out of this place, and that ghost cultivator must have done something!
The most likely thing to happen is ...... Missing Haruki!
Ji Hongxiang jumped off the flying sword one step ahead of Mu Yinxi!
What an eye-catcher the bright red vines in the garden! At just one glance, she was stunned in place, and the coolness poured down from the heavenly spirit, and she could no longer move her steps.
Although Mu Wuzhong was puzzled by her and Mu Yinxi's appearance together, now was obviously not the time to pursue these questions, he asked Mu Yinxi directly: "Did you go after the murderer?" ”
This sound suddenly woke up Ji Hongjiao, she stumbled over, her legs were weak, and every step was as heavy as lead, but there was an inexplicable force that supported her, making her run faster and faster-
Maybe it's not Chunxi? Maybe probably...... Just look alike?
When the bloodstained face was completely ingested by her eyes and became a cruel picture, the black pupils shrank instantly, reflecting Haruki's extremely familiar face, the eyebrows, the lips-
Always flashing clever and shrewd eyes, leaving a dead silence in vain.
The strength of the whole body was withdrawn, and Ji Hong's makeup was paralyzed to the ground......
Mu Yinxi saw the female corpse in the flowers, and saw Mu Yuan behind Mu Wuzhong, stepped forward a few steps, approached the female corpse, stretched out his hand to turn it, a painful gasp made him pause, and sighed in his heart, he didn't continue to move, facing Mu Wuzhong, and asked without answering: "Please tell the elders, who first discovered the corpse here?" ”
Mu Yuan took a step forward: "I saw you in a hurry before, I thought there was something important, and then I saw that you didn't return for a long time, so I came out to look for you, and then found out about the situation here." ”
Mu Yinxi saw that Elder Mu Yuan's expression was calm and calm, very calm, not as if there was a fake, and he looked at the female corpse carefully.
At this moment, a small servant hurriedly arrived and said eagerly: "Elder Mu! The head of the house, please, please go to the partial, partial, partial, partial! As he spoke, the little guy couldn't help but look at the blood-stained corpse, and then, as if he had seen something terrible, he shook violently, and even stammered to speak.
Mu Wuzhong frowned fiercely, and then said to Mu Yuan: "In this way, you stay and deal with the affairs here, and I will go and see what happened to the head of the family!" ”
He secretly said that he was unlucky in his heart, and followed the little guy out of the yard.
Not to mention what Mu Chongyun called Mu Wuzhong for, here, as soon as Mu Wuzhong left, the scene fell into two completely different atmospheres.
There is both the sadness of Ji Hong's makeup and Mu Yinxi's doubts.
Such a state of not saying a word was immediately broken in the next second!
Mu Yinxi suddenly pulled Ji Hongjiao behind him, and drew his sword with a "swish".
The three-foot blade shone with a sharp cold light.
The tip of the sword pointed directly at Mu Yuan!
He shouted, "Say! Who are you! ”
