The protagonists are gone, the people who eat melons are all dispersed, and a white figure in the crowd also left quietly, and a scholar wearing the clothes of the ink man's study walked into him quickly, handed him a long brocade box in his hand and said, "Childe, I forgot to take the brush you wanted." ”

The young man in white took the brocade box and said, "Thank you." ”

When he took the brocade box, a rolled-up note also went down the brocade box to his hand.

Leaving the ink man's study, the young man in white opened the note, which read, "The whereabouts of the Nine Heart Lotus are a mystery, and the inquiry in many places has been unsuccessful."

After reading it, the young man shook with his internal force, and the note instantly turned into powder, and when the wind blew, there was no trace.

……

In the dark room, Mo Tianxin and Nangong Rou gathered in front of the iron cage, and the female corpse inside emitted a faint strange smell, which made Nangong Rou sniff twice.

Mo Tianxin closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "My father told me that there is a flower called mandala in the Western Regions, and the fruit of this flower is highly poisonous, and there is also a smell of stinky feet, which is particularly unpleasant, and this smell is a bit similar." ”

"You really smell like feet when you say that!" Nangong Rou nodded in agreement, "Could it be that this girl died because she was hit by a mandala?" ”

Mo Tianxin opened his eyes, took an oil lamp, approached the cage and carefully looked at the face of the female corpse, the female corpse was so pale that it was almost transparent, and the bruised blood vessels could be faintly seen.

Mo Tianxin stared at these "blood vessels", and suddenly the blood vessels squirmed, Mo Tianxin quickly pulled Nangong Rou back a few steps, and said nervously: "This is not a mandala!" It's Gu! ”

"Gu?"

"Yes!" Mo Tianxin stared at the caged female corpse and said, "Rourou, you have been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, haven't you seen Gu?" If I guessed correctly, this girl is a vessel of Gu worms, these Gu worms are raised with mandalas, so she has this smell of feet, and the cause of her death is because these Gu worms are hungry and can't be fed by the mandala, so they ate her, why does her skin want to be transparent, it is because the Gu worms only have a layer of skin left for her to eat! ”

After Mo Tianxin's analysis, Nangong Rou also began to pay attention to it, and called the pearl guarding outside in and asked her to call all the people who had come into contact with the goods in the auction hall, and the ink study was cleared and closed for the first time!

Mo Tianxin shouted to put the cage on the sack and carry it out of the dark room to the backyard, in the moonlight, the Gu worms on the skin of the female corpse were even more obvious, and they could be seen squirming without even getting close!

Nangong Rou and Mo Tianxin opened a window upstairs, Nangong Rou hid in the house, and only Mo Tianxin's face could be seen in the window.

Mo Tianxin glanced down, where were the people in the courtyard who had already spent the entire ink study, and Mingchen Mingzhu was waiting for Nangong Rou's arrangement.

Mo Tianxin closed the window and whispered: "Only our people are left, those guests have all been let go, what are you going to do, maybe the Gu cultivator is among those guests!" ”

Nangong Rou smiled and shook her head: "Gu raisers are not inside, Gu raisers often operate in the Western Regions, we are here in the Central Plains, the small curly hair of the people in the Western Regions, the authentic Central Plains dialect, all kinds of animal skins are dressed in the body, it is not easy to distinguish at a glance, besides, Gu raisers cherish their Gu worms very much, and they generally do not let them fend for themselves, not to mention that this girl is still a living Gu, if the Gu raiser is here, how can she watch her die, a living person raises Gu, and the survival rate depends on character!" ”

"Then what are you calling these people for now?" Mo Tianxin was very puzzled by Nangong Rou's behavior.

Nangong Rou rubbed the teacup with her fingertips and said, "Find a traitor!" ”

……

The sky is bright, and a high-pitched rooster crow wakes up the whole of Kyoto.

When the sun shone on the earth, the prime minister's mansion was already in chaos, and in the Shenyu Courtyard, Xiao Lu was beaten half to death lying on the blood-stained marble floor, with the fragments of clothes on his back mixed with the flesh and blood, and the appearance was extremely terrifying, which scared a group of maids to tremble!

Sitting on the chair, Mrs. Mei was stretching out her hand to ask Sandalwood to make Kodan for her, and the bright red petals seemed to be more oozing than the blood of the little green!

Mrs. Mei glanced at the little maids kneeling in several rows below and said, "Check it for me!" Where the hell did the second lady go! There are also the two missing secret guards, and there is no trace of the second lady before the master returns, and your fate will be worse than this maid! ”

Hearing this, a group of people not only secretly glanced at Xiao Lu who was lying in a pool of blood, but the tragic situation deeply stimulated them, and they responded one after another: "Yes!" ”

Then Mrs. Mei waved them down, and a group of people almost crawled out of the Shenyu Courtyard, and the little green on the ground was uncared for, Mrs. Mei happily looked at the Kodan in her hand, and said to Sandalwood: "Go find a Lang Zhong to see the injuries on this maid's body, don't die in me again, alas, people are old, and they are always a little scared to see these bloody scenes." ”

Sandalwood left in response, and by the way, asked someone to carry away Xiao Lu's body, and also cleaned the ground.

Mrs. Mei looked at the direction of the Wenxiang Courtyard thoughtfully, and said softly, "Those two secret guards probably won't be able to come back." ”

On the other side of Kyoto, there was also a situation on the bustling Splendid Street, where the billowing smoke almost covered half of the Splendid Street, and the fire point was the ink scholar's study near the end of the street, and the huge study suddenly caught fire, burning from dawn until early morning before being extinguished, and the original huge study was only a pile of smoke and wooden blocks with sparks at this moment.

The people in the Ink Study last night were very shocked when they heard the news, and the Ink Study was destroyed by "suicide" in the first clearance last night? What happened to irritate the owner of the Ink Scholar's Study? Or is it a revenge?

Everyone speculated, and in the street Zhiwei Restaurant far away from the "crime scene", Mo Tianxin and Nangong Rou were sitting by the window on the second floor and eating breakfast, as if they were not burning their own property!

Mingchen devoured a basket of steamed dumplings and asked for a basket of crystal buns, Mingzhu secretly kicked him and said, "Can you look good when you eat!" ”

Mingchen puffed out his cheeks and looked at Mingzhu innocently, his eyes were full of doubts, he usually eats like this, why didn't he see Mingzhu dislike him! Sure enough, my sister is older, and I'm starting to dislike my brother! He cried!

Nangong Rou looked at Mingchen Mingzhu's "love" interaction and felt in a good mood.

Burning the ink man's study is also Nangong Rou's helpless move, last night, they were about to investigate who brought the female corpse in, and suddenly a scholar convulsed and fell to the ground, Nangong Rou and Mo Tianxin found that it was actually the Gu worm in the female corpse's body that quietly and silently drilled out, the scholar was attacked without paying attention, the Gu worm got into the body when he saw someone, Nangong Rou let Mingchen burn the female corpse and the attacked scholars in order to prevent the Gu worm from killing people.
