Lin Yehuo was facing the mirror himself, but he didn't expect the mirror to suddenly shatter, and at the same time, he saw a person appear in the mirror.

If the previous deceased were timid, frightened by their own shadow in the mirror, or mistaken in their hearts, it would still be acceptable, but who is Lin Yehuo?

Although he is usually a little off the line, a little narcissistic, and occasionally unable to look directly, he is also one of the best masters in martial arts today. Can scare him so much that he swears...... Isn't it a hallucination?

Bai Yutang walked to the mirror, pulled a stool, and stared at the cracked mirror.

After watching it for a long time, he asked Lin Yehuo puzzled, "Is there anyone there?" ”

Lin Yehuo pointed, "See for yourself." ”

Bai Yutang thought about it for a while, and then approached the mirror, and then, he was stunned, raised his head and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao also passed.

Bai Yutang stood up, asked Zhanzhao to sit down, and took a closer look.

Zhan Zhao was also like the night fire just now, he looked closely in the mirror, and then scratched his head, "Hey, if you see it in the middle of the night, it can really scare people enough." ”

"Anyone?" Pang Yu was curious, so he also sat down to look, and before he could see it on the mirror, he was so frightened that he sat back and sat on the ground, "Wow! A ghost face, scared my dad to death! ”

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on the head by Master Pang.

Mr. Bao also went over to look, Bao Yan was lying on his father's back, his chin rested on Mr. Bao's shoulder and looked with him, and he was scared when he saw it, "Wow, these two heads, one is as black as a briquette, and the other is as white as an egg, black and white impermanence?" ”

Master Bao glanced at him helplessly, turned around and continued to sigh - his son is so white!

"Two heads?" Lin Yehuo was puzzled, "Just one." ”

"It's not a grimace, it's a shadow."

Gongsun took a closer look, and seemed to have found some principle, he asked the little fourth son to bring a small medicine box, found a blade, pried open the broken ice jade, and broke off a piece for everyone to see.

I saw that the ice jade was not a whole piece, and the back was not flat, some uneven, and from the back, there were many seams.

"Huh?" Bao Yan was curious, "It's not a whole piece?" ”

Bai Yutang picked up a piece, touched the edge, nodded, and said, I said, how can there be such a large piece of ice jade with a whole surface to make a mirror. If there really is such a large piece of ice jade, you can buy thousands of taels of gold by making a jade carving, why use it to make a mirror.

"I can't see it from the front." Bao Yan Road.

"It's ice jade and then sealed with a thin layer of glass, you can't see it. In fact, the problem is not on the front, but on the back," Gongsun pointed to the uneven back of the mirror, "the uneven place on the back is brushed with silver powder, and then flattened with that layer of gray pulp." The weather has been humid these days, so this layer of slurry has expanded and contracted, and the ice jade is not connected in the first place, and the glass used to fix it is too thin, so it will be broken as soon as it is supported. Especially when people get closer, there is heat and water vapor in the breath, if it is exactly at the location of the crack, it is likely to cause the pimple of the plaster to rise quickly, just like the night fire just now, it will explode when you look at it. ”

"Oh......" Everyone nodded and nodded, I see.

"And what do you say about that ghost?" The crowd asked again.

"This mirror seems to be visible only in the center, without distortion." Gongsun said, "After the crack, the original central area becomes the edge, and the portrait is naturally distorted, in other words, what you see should be your own distorted appearance, not just a ghost face, but it's really scary." ”

Again, the crowd said, "Oh...... So that's what happened. ”

"Mr. Gongsun is really knowledgeable." Master Bao nodded appreciatively, "And be observant." ”

Gongsun smiled and said that Lord Bao was polite.

The others looked at each other, thinking about it, it seems that every time they solve a case, it is Gongsun who does the most serious things, and he can see a doctor and solve the case, and he is knowledgeable and talented...... Speaking of which, except for not knowing martial arts, it seems that he can do anything!

Zhao Pu nodded frequently on the side, so he said-If you have a nerd, then I have the world! Sure enough, it's my son's father, haha.

Lin Yehuo pursed his lips, "I see, I'm scared to death, I thought the mirror was beautiful by me." ”

"I was disgusted and vomited by you." Zou Liang interjected at the right time, and the result was ......

Everyone tacitly ignored Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang, who were fighting together.

"No wonder, when I heard it now, all that was broken were the mirrors of water jade and the mirrors of ice jade." Pang Yu held his chin and muttered to himself.

"That's not a long time." Gongsun studied the gray pulp and said, "This thing is very fluffy, it should shrink sharply in winter, and open again in summer, and these mirrors will break in a short time." ”

Ye Quan sighed, "My master really hasn't been selling for a long time, if that's the case, it is estimated that he will have to lose a lot of money, and these mirrors should not be sold in the future." ”

So...... "Everyone subconsciously looked at the night fire."

Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang are pinching each other.

Xiao Liang tugged at Lin Yehuo, "Alas, turkey." ”

Lin Yehuo withdrew his hand and looked at him, "What are you doing?" Adults fight, children don't interject! ”

The corners of Zou Liang's mouth twitched, and his mother and his father seemed to be the same when they pinched each other.

"Are you manic now?" Xiao Liang asked him.

Lin Yehuo blinked, "That depends on whom." ”

"Do you want to kill someone?" Xiao Liang then asked.

Lin Yehuo glanced at Zou Liang on the side, and Zou Liang felt a chill on his neck, and his eyes were ......

"Have you ever thought about killing people on a killing spree?" Xiao Liangzi asked again, but he was hit with a hammer.

Lin Yehuo dragged him and knocked him on the head, "I think, let's beat you first." ”

Zou Liang ran around holding his head, and was rescued by the little fourth son after the last time, and the little fourth son helped him rub his head distressedly, looking at the night fire.

Lin Yehuo clapped his hands, went to the side to drink tea, and saw that everyone was looking at him, puzzled, "Why are you guys?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary." Zhan Zhao Road.

Everyone nodded.

"So, maybe the problem isn't in the mirror, it's in the?" Bao Yan asked.

Everyone nodded.

Bai Yutang asked Ye Quan, "How much of the mirrors of water jade and ice jade have been sold?" ”

"Shui Yu's, the concubine outside Chen Yuanwai at the South Gate bought one, and then the daughter of Wang Yuanwai's family bought one, in addition, Sister Yao has a folding mirror of ice jade, which was given to him by the master, and the others have placed orders, but the master is still doing it, and it has not been finished and delivered." Ye Quandao.

Zhan Zhao was curious, "Sister Yao? It's rumored outside, your master's good looks? ”

Ye Quan scratched his head and nodded, "Yes, her name is Xu Mengyao, and she is the number one brand of Mengfangyuan." ”

"Mengfangyuan?" Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao.

Zhan Zhao said, "Oh, it's the largest kiln hall in Changzhou Mansion, and the girls in it have a dream word in their names......"

Before Zhan Zhao finished speaking, he saw Bai Yutang aiming at him, what that meant-do you know that Lu is quite clear.

Zhan Zhao was helpless, "Everyone in Changzhou Mansion knows that I haven't been there." ”

Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows, judging from the fright of Zhanzhao when he entered the kiln by mistake last time, it is estimated that he has not been there, so he is in a slightly better mood.

"Why don't you go to those young ladies and get the mirror back first." "By the way, I would like to ask if she has also passed by the Old Crow Valley." ”

"My lord, do you doubt ......," Zhanzhao asked Lord Bao.

"Don't you think it's a coincidence?" Master Bao stroked his beard lightly, "Everyone who bought a water jade or ice jade mirror has been to the Old Crow Valley, and they have all been photographed so coincidentally...... Then they all went berserk and killed people, among them, there seemed to be something. ”

Zhan Zhao nodded.

After that, everyone went their separate ways, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to Mengfang Garden to find Xu Mengyao, the shadow guards went to the homes of the two staff members to get the two vanity mirrors, and Gongsun They went to the outside of the Old Crow Valley to prepare.

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang arrived at Mengfang Garden, they saw that the gate was closed, and a small servant at the door was sweeping the floor.

Zhan Zhao stepped forward to ask, and the little girl went into the house and called out a girl. The maid told the two, "The young ladies have all gone to the lake on Meng Gongzi's boat." ”

"Meng Gongzi?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Which Meng Gongzi?" ”

"Meng Qing Meng Gongzi, Gongzi invited guests today, so he found the girl in our building to accompany the wine and dance, and Sister Yao also went, if you want to ask, she will come to her at night."

Zhanzhao nodded and took his leave.

After a pounce, Bai Yutang asked, "Since you are swimming in the lake, it should be on the painting boat in the river, why don't you ask?" ”

"Uh......" Zhanzhao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm asking at night, let's go to Old Crow Valley first." ”

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao, who scratched his chin and tilted his face.

Don't look at Zhan Zhao's usual skinny and good at making trouble, but he is also an honest person, especially not deceiving people.

Bai Yutang felt that there was something wrong with him at a glance, that Meng Qing ...... Didn't you know Zhanzhao?

"Do you know that Meng Qing?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao blinked, and just saw a few shadow guards in front of him coming back with mirrors, so he said, "Oops, it seems to be going well over there." ”

Saying that, Zhanzhao ran away to owe it.

Bai Yutang didn't ask much, looked at Zhanzhao's back, and touched his chin.

The shadow guards were very successful, and brought two vanity mirrors, which were not broken yet, and when the two members heard that it had something to do with the murder, they hurriedly let them move out. Those two young ladies have never been to Old Crow Valley, let alone been photographed by bird droppings, so there should be no danger.

After everyone put their things in the exhibition mansion, they rushed to the Old Crow Valley.

Outside the valley of the Old Crow Valley, a lot of people gathered, and Gongsun came with his four sons.

Each of the shadow guards was tightly wrapped, and each of them carried an umbrella, as well as two equally tightly wrapped big black dogs.

When Zhan Zhao first arrived, he saw a "cloth dog" and jumped in shock.

"Are so many people in there?" Zhao Pu asked.

"Fewer people." Ouyang said to Zhao Pu, "Don't go, I'll take the shadow guards in." ”

"I'll go too." Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang Road.

Zhao Pu didn't have any opinions, and Gongsun told everyone to be careful.

Before entering the valley, Zhan Zhao first hugged the little four sons and rubbed and rubbed......

The little four sons got used to Zhan Zhao, and seeing that he was afraid, he simply reached out and put his arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek.

Zhan Zhao immediately gained some confidence.

For the sake of fairness, the fourth son came to a "kiss" today to give a big gift, and everyone who went in kissed him, which made Xiao Liang jump straight and said that he would also go in. The youngest little son also kissed him, but he took his hand and didn't let him in.

……

Zhan Zhao and the others held umbrellas and entered the Valley of Old Crows.

A few dogs walked forward, looking back at the crowd from time to time, and they didn't know exactly where they were going.

As Zhanzhao walked, he listened to the sound of "let's click" from the umbrella above his head......

Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao's umbrella top, and then looked at someone else's umbrella top...... It's strange, why are those crows staring at Zhanzhao to? Or is it just a coincidence?

"Ochre has it on his umbrella too." Purple Shadow pointed to Ochre Shadow's umbrella, and then, everyone found that Red Shadow's umbrella also had it, but the other people's umbrellas didn't splash at all, and Bai Yutang's umbrella didn't even splash a bit.

Bai Yutang looked at the three people who were attacked by bird droppings, and suddenly said, "Red clothes? ”

Everyone couldn't help but nod.

The red clothes worn by Zhanzhao, the clothes of Red Shadow and Ochre Shadow are also red, and Lin Yehuo is even more red.

"Is it the one who attacked the red clothes?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Actually......" The black shadow looked at everyone helplessly, and said, "Birds are different from other animals, they don't pull when they want to, they pull anytime and anywhere." ”

Everyone knows that the black shadow likes birds very much, and his ventriloquist is first-class, so he still has research on birds.

"They're the same as chickens, they're at the right place anytime, anywhere, so." The dark shadow looked at the dense flock of birds above, "They may be above the red area, staying for a long time. ”

Everyone nodded their heads—it made sense.

"Crows eat carrion." Bai Yutang looked at the flock of birds, "They are used to following their prey and waiting until the prey dies before eating. People are alive, why do you want to follow, and you seem to like to follow people in red clothes? Could it be that their food has something to do with red? ”

"Why don't you follow the birds?" Ouyang Shaozheng pointed ahead, "It seems that there are more birds gathered over there, and it is above the valley, we climbed to the top, and the field of vision is also broader."

Everyone nodded their heads and walked together to the uphill side of the valley.

……

Outside the valley, Gongsun Zhao Pu and others waited anxiously.

Zhao Pu asked Gongsun, "Nerd, how are you doing with that?" ”

Gongsun glanced at him, "It's bird." ”

Zhao Pu couldn't laugh or cry, "Is it bird poop, what's wrong?" Did you find anything? ”

Gongsun thought for a moment and said, "I haven't found out yet, but it's poisonous." ”

"Poisonous?!" Zhao Puyi raised his eyebrows.

Gongsun said, "There are many kinds of poisons that can make people mad, but the problem is that there are many other poisons, and if they are used in small amounts, they can also make people delirious and hallucinate, so that they become very manic. Also, I haven't seen anything gray, but the gray mud used to brush the mirror should be the same as the poison in bird droppings. ”

"That is, the crow ate that gray corpse, so the pulled out is poisonous?" Zhao Pu was curious.

Gongsun nodded, "But it's strange that the crow didn't die, but it was bigger?" ”

Zhao Pu couldn't figure it out either.

As he spoke, he saw a group of people coming from the avenue of Old Crow Valley.

This should be a dart team, because there is no dart flag, and the car is also an empty board car, so it should be the people who sent the darts back.

A few people were holding umbrellas, a few were not, and they walked out quickly.

Zhao Pu and the others gave way to the side of the road in order to let everyone pass.

When the first one saw the officer, he asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

Zhao Pu didn't speak, and Gongsun said, "Oh, we are from Kaifeng Mansion." ”

"Oh?!" The first big man smiled and asked, "Is Brother Zhan back?" ”

Gongsun smiled and nodded, "Yes, Brother Zhan went to the Old Crow Valley to do something." ”

"Brother Zhan is back?!" The people in the dart bureau seemed to know Zhanzhao, and said with a smile, "We watched him go at night, and I haven't drunk with him for a long time." ”

Gongsun smiled and nodded.

The dart masters said a few more polite words to Gongsun and the others, and then left happily.

The dart head wiped his neck with a handkerchief as he walked, and a dart master next to him joked with him, "Look at the big boss! Being hit by bird poop isn't necessarily a bad thing, Brother Zhan is back, isn't this a great thing, so don't believe that there is no more, go back and take a shower and prepare to drink with the little brother at night. ”

……

Gongsun and Zhao Pu glanced at each other, should they ...... That dart, hit in the neck by bird poop?

Zhao Pu glanced at the two shadow guards behind him, the two nodded, and quietly followed the dart team, secretly observing the situation of the dart.

……

Zhan Zhao and the others climbed to the top of the hill and looked down, they were a little embarrassed.

The terrain of this Old Crow Valley is too complicated, outside of the two mountains and a ditch, the backsides of the two mountains are almost all rocky mountains, large and small stones are piled up, and there are ravines and forks everywhere, when do you have to find this? Moreover, there are many stones blocking the view, and the valley is deep, and if you stand high, the view may not be good.

The crowd stood on the hill and sighed.

At this moment, the black shadow suddenly imitated the sound of the crow and made some calls.

Everyone looked at him curiously, what does that mean - is this you talking to them?

The black shadow couldn't help but laugh, "No, I'm just imitating the crow's crow twice." ”

"What's the use?" Bai Yutang was curious.

"Oh, the crow crow cries are different in each place, and my crow is an imitation of the crows in the Western Regions, in other words, although I don't know what it means, I probably have a foreign accent." The black shadow smiled and said, "Crows are very protective of food, if they hear that there are foreign crows, the first thing they do is to snatch their food, eat the rotten food that has not been eaten, or surround the food and emphasize their territory, so ......"

Before the black shadow finished speaking, the purple shadow pointed into the distance, "It seems that they are all flying over there!" “

When everyone looked over again, they saw that sure enough, a flock of black crows flew to a col in the west. The col was behind a huge rock, and it seemed to be very deep.

Everyone glanced at each other, and they couldn't go away with the dog, Ouyang Shaozheng left the red shadow and the green shadow to wait in place with the dog, and the others flew towards the mountain col with light skills.

Soon, the crowd reached the edge of the col.

"There's something down there." Ouyang Shaozheng said, took out two things that were somewhat similar to thunder bombs from his arms, and shot them at the place where the crows gathered above the mountain col.

This thing seems to be used on the battlefield to disperse birds of prey or wild beasts, and at the same time as it suddenly exploded in mid-air, red flames flashed, and the crows flew into the air in shock, scattering and fleeing.

At this time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had already landed on the edge of the mountain col, and when they looked inside, the two of them gasped.

"Wow, what does it smell like?!" Purple Shadow and the others also arrived, covering their mouths and noses and looking into the col, their eyes wide in shock.

The depths of the col were like a mass grave, full of bones, terrible, twisted limbs, and all of them were in a state of drying, strange gray, and had a strange stench.

The most bizarre thing is that on either side of the pile of corpses, there are two red flowers that are larger than a person. The shape of this flower is somewhat similar to that of ordinary cannas, but the flowers are so large that they are as red as blood, and they are particularly dazzling.

On the other side of the col, there is a ruined cave...... Some bones fell out of it, and some of them were gone, and many gray human bones were scattered nearby.

Zhan Zhao and the others didn't want to look at that strange col anymore, it was a bit like a huge flower pot, and instead of soil, two large smelly and ugly flowers were planted with corpses.

When they reached the breach, they found a basket, which seemed to be too heavy and broken, and threw it on the side of the road, with the skulls of two people in it.

Zhan Zhao looked at the back basket and found that there were two words "Linchun" upstairs.

"It was left by Wang Linchun and his wife, right?" Bai Yutang asked.

Zhan Zhao nodded and looked around, "How did you get here with so many corpses?" ”

Ouyang Shaozheng looked inside from outside the cave.

Ochre Shadow grabbed him, "The corpse may be poisonous, be careful, those crows just ate the flesh of the corpse, and the pulled out will make people poisoned and crazy, right?" ”

As he was talking, Purple Shadow suddenly noticed something and pointed to the side, "What's that?" ”

When they looked over, they saw something beside the hole, shining with a lilac glow in the sunlight.

Take a closer look.

Purple Shadow struck lightly with his sword...... Picked up a jade pendant.

This is a piece of purple jade jade pendant, carved is a peony flower, the craftsmanship is excellent.

"Is it Wang Linchun's wife?" Purple Shadow asked.

Bai Yutang looked at the jade pendant and shook his head, "This is not something that ordinary people can have. ”

"How?" Ouyang was curious.

"This kind of purple jade is very rare, and this piece is definitely more expensive than that ice jade vanity mirror." Bai Yutang said, "Also, that kind of knot is very strange, I've never seen it. ”

Zhan Zhao took a pocket made of oiled paper given by Gongsun and packed the piece of purple jade, the shadow guards originally wanted to wrap some bones back, but after thinking about it, they simply let Gongsun take a look, this meeting ...... If all those people were murdered, how many people should have been killed?!

Leaving the Old Crow Valley and returning outside, Zhanzhao told what had happened, Gongsun was startled, left the little fourth son outside for Xiao Liang to watch, and went into the valley with everyone, and this time Zhao Pu also followed.

Gongsun covered his mouth and nose and glanced at the flower, then pulled everyone out, "I'm going to die, it turned out to be this thing." After speaking, he hurried back to the mansion with everyone, and hurriedly prescribed prescriptions to make medicine, saying that he wanted to expel the poison.

"What kind of flower is that?" Everyone returned to Zhanzhao's old house, drank the antidote, and asked Gongsun in confusion.

"That's the magic flower! That flower eats people! Gongsun said.

"Flowers eat people?" Everyone looked at Gongsun in horror.

Gongsun frowned, "That flower is called marrow eater, it grows in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is all in the south, deep in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou. Most of these flowers grow in bowl-shaped cols, and their root system fills the entire base of the col, and then releases a strange smell that seems to smell and smells, attracting large beasts or people. The edges of the col are basically slippery, and once people and animals fall into that bowl, they will be entangled in the root system of the flower, and then slowly absorbed and eaten, and then the corpse will also become part of the flower root, which is quite scary. ”

Everyone looked at Gongsun with their mouths wide open, obviously the first time they had heard of such a terrible thing.

"But strangely, this flower is not able to survive outside of the humid and warm southern forests." Gongsun touched his chin, "Did someone plant it here?" ”

Everyone frowned - someone planted it on purpose? That is to say, someone really used that mountain col as a flower pot, and then used people to grow magic flowers?

"But where did those bodies come from?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "There is no record of a large number of missing people in Changzhou Prefecture." ”

"That is, and very state people." Master Bao frowned.

At this time, Gongsun felt that the little fourth son pulled the hem of his clothes, and looked down at him, "What's the matter, little fourth son?" ”

The little fourth son pointed to the cage with the crow hanging in the corner of the courtyard and said, "The crow is dead." ”

Everyone was stunned, they were fine in the morning, why did they suddenly die?

Ochre took the birdcage down and placed it on the table, opening the curtain that covered it, and everyone looked in startles.

I saw that the crow fell at the bottom of the cage, already dead, and the strangest thing was that the crow was not black in the morning, but turned gray, and seemed to be ...... petrified.

Gongsun opened his mouth wide, "What's going on?" ”

In addition to opening their mouths wide, everyone also looked at Gongsun, what does that mean-you don't know what's going on with Lu Dao? Where do we know where to go?

……

In the west of Changzhou, there are several painting boats parked on the scenic embankment.

On the painting boat, a young man of Qingshan was leaning on the bow of the boat to drink, watching several beauties stroke the piano.

At this moment, a little maid came from the shore, holding a fruit bowl and a wine jug in her hand.

"Sister Yao."

When the maid put things down, she came to Xu Mengyao, who was concentrating on stroking the qin, and said, "The people from Kaifeng Mansion came to look for you just now." ”

Xu Mengyao was slightly stunned, "People from Kaifeng Mansion? ”

"Yes, Lord Zhan is looking for you." Xu Mengyao smiled and said, "You look so handsome." ”

Xu Mengyao smiled and sighed, "Probably asked about Boss Wang." ”

At this time, the young man of Qingshan came over and asked with a smile, "Zhanzhao alone?" Go to Mengfang Garden? ”

"No, Meng Gongzi." The little girl said, "There is also a boy in white." ”

"The boy in white? What does it look like? ”

The little girl blushed, "It's handsome and magnificent, like a noble son." ”

"Oh?" The young man in the green shirt gently supported his face and smiled, "Your son...... Hehe. ”

……

"Sneeze ......"

In Kaifeng Mansion, Zhanzhao suddenly sneezed.

Bai Yutang looked at him.

Zhan Zhao rubbed his nose - inexplicably had a bad premonition, thinking of this, he picked up the little fourth son......

This time, without waiting for Zhanzhao to rub it, the little fourth son began to rub him, and his mouth was still chattering, "Bad luck, Feifei~~ Fly away, pestering the cat." ”
