The sky was just bright, the weather was still a little cold, and there were occasional storms in recent days, Yuan Huaisheng stood on the tallest mulberry tree a mile away from Qingfeng Town with Mo Yanxi in his arms.

"We... Do you really have to stand here? ”

Mo Yanxi felt a little cold, sneezed, shrank into Yuan Huaisheng's arms, and said helplessly.

Yuan Huaisheng stepped on the leaves gently, it seemed to be standing in the air, the moon was in the sky, the breeze was slow, the green silk danced with the wind, a little sassy! Hearing this, he said with some disgust:

"Weak can't help the wind, pampered. Right here, you can see clearly, you endure it. ”

“……………”

Mo Yanxi confessed, rolled her eyes, and said: Gotcha! You are the uncle, you have the final say!

But after all, he was still afraid of the cold, and shrank back to Yuan Huaisheng, and then buried his head in it. At first glance, it is quite a bit of a concubine and a shy tryst.

Finally, the first rays of sunlight in the morning poked out of the distant horizon, Yuan Huaisheng seemed to hear something, and his mind condensed to look west.

Mo Yanxi followed his gaze and looked at it together, but there was no movement for a long time, and after about three quarters of an hour, he finally heard the sound of chains scraping the ground. There seemed to be a morning mist, and the rest was not very clear, only a vague figure, step by step, walking extremely slowly this way.

It was only when he came to the front that Mo Yanxi saw it more clearly. This woman is still the same as last night's woman!

It wasn't until the woman stepped into Qingfeng Town that Yuan Huaisheng fell to the ground lightly and said to Mo Yanxi:

"It's from the northwest."

The two of them followed the woman into the city together, and last night there was a bit of a loud noise, and many of the neighbors were lying on the courtyard wall looking at it, and some dared to go out to check.

When the woman reached the entrance of Qingfeng Town, she was beaten unconscious by the village and carried into the welcome building by the disciples of the Bai family.

"There is some damp black mud on the soles of my feet, which should have passed through a flower field and vegetable garden, and there are some fine gravel stones mixed with it, and I should have walked through the mountain road based on the shape and texture."

Mo Yanxi walked around, came to the head, reached out and took out a piece of complete pink peach petals from his hair and continued:

"It's May now, and along the way, the peach blossom trees have basically all withered, but some of her body have just bloomed, and it can only be that the climate in the place where she stayed is cold, the flowering period is delayed, or it is carefully protected."

Mo Yanxi said, stood up straight, and observed the woman in front of him from top to bottom.

"The lips are chapped and white, with a faint bluish purple, indicating that they have not drunk or eaten for more than three hours, and there are black spots on the wound, but they are not deep, and they should be scars from seven days ago. Looking at the degree of wear and tear on the soles of the feet, even if you walk barefoot on the mountain road, it should be a hundred miles away. ”

After Mo Yanxi finished analyzing, everyone was in an uproar, Su Changqing took a step forward and said with some admiration:

"If Miss Mo hadn't secretly done something from the government behind our backs?"

Mo Yanxi laughed and said a little embarrassed:

"It's just some self-speculation, who knows exactly how it is, and what happens next, it still depends on the judgment of the ninth master."

Yuan Huaisheng sat upright very rarely, and still knocked on the table with one hand.

Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs outside the inn, and everyone didn't know why, but the shopkeeper on the side collapsed to the ground, and said with some regret and panic:

"It seems... Another girl disappeared last night! ”

The welcome building is located in the central area, last night Mura Yi, Yuan Huaisheng were here, and there were still people who could take away the girls nearby, it was really incredible, should it be said that that person was really capable of reaching the sky, or everyone was careless!

After a long time, Yuan Huaisheng spoke:

"Changqing, you take these Bai family Jurchen disciples to ask door to door to see if you can find some clues. Changfeng, you look for the deep alley full of wild dogs they said and see what the problem is. Village 1, go to Qingfeng Town within one or twenty miles to see if there is anything strange. ”

Everyone received the order, and Yuan Huaisheng got up and walked upstairs.

Mo Yanxi was a little puzzled and said:

"Ninth Master, what are you going to do here?"

"Catch up on sleep"

“………………”

In the end, Mo Yanxi and the others followed Su Changfeng to the alley full of wild dogs that the villagers said.

After turning around, there was finally a smell of blood and rot, and everyone walked through the bluestone path, and saw a section of soil-stained intestines that I don't know if it was a human or an animal, surrounded by blood, and there were many flies flying in the air.

Walking further inside, the scene became more and more miserable, only to see many incomplete women lying around in the depths of the alley, some missing arms, some missing legs, and even different heads, with white bones. It was also mixed with the carcasses of some wild dogs, with rotting bellies and extremely disgusting maggots wriggling back and forth.

Everyone was shocked, Nan Ke covered his nose and slowly probed forward, suddenly felt a burst of pulp under his feet, looked down, it turned out to be stepping on an eyeball, and the white slurry splashed on the embroidered shoes, Nan Ke's face turned pale in an instant, and he retched against the wall.

Seeing this, Mo Yanxi immediately instructed Tang Mingsang:

"Quick, take her out."

Ming Sang's order, quickly helped Nan Ke, patted her back comfortingly, and took Nan Ke out.

Su Changfeng pouted, frowned, and muttered softly:

"It's too bad, isn't it?"

After speaking, he pursed his lips, took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve, covered his mouth and nose and probed deeply.

Mo Yanxi looked at Xiangxue and Yingniang, Xiangxue was fine, Yingniang's lips were already a little pale, obviously forbearing, so she ordered the two to wait outside, and then walked inside with Su Changfeng.

Judging by the extent of the corpses' decomposition, some of them have dried up and seem to have been piling up since a month and a half.

Mo Yanxi took out a silver hairpin from his waist and gently flicked the clothes on the corpse.

"These clothes are more or less stained with some black sludge, although some have dried and faded, but there are marks on the clothes, which should have come from a place."

Su Changfeng walked to Mo Yanxi and said:

"There are some corpses over there that also have some stones and sand grains in their trousers, and it shouldn't be wrong."

Mo Yanxi nodded when he heard this, and then inserted the hairpin into the meridians of a corpse, but the hairpin turned black in a moment, Mo Yanxi wiped it with a brocade handkerchief, until the black faded, and then continued to insert it one by one. In the end, he threw away the silver hairpin and walked out of the corpse pile with Su Changfeng.

"The toxin went from high to low according to the degree of shriveling of the corpse, and it seems that they are almost able to grasp the exact dosage of the drug."

Su Changfeng nodded in agreement, and then shouted that Mo Yanxi was going to leave, after all, the smell of this place was really disgusting to the extreme!

Mo Yanxi shook his head and said, "Wait, this corpse has been exposed here for more than a month, we have to find a way to destroy it, in case the plague spreads, I'm afraid this Qingfeng Town will be gone." ”

Su Changfeng thought for a long time, then snapped his fingers, and said with a flash of inspiration:

"I'm afraid that these disciples of the Bai family will come to this matter, I think there should be medicine in the pharmacy in this town, if not, this is surrounded by mountains, and it is completely possible to call the village to pick it, I have long heard that the corpse water of the Bai family is magical, just one drop, there is not even a scumbag left." I also want to see it. ”

Mo Yanxi nodded in acquiescence, it's a good idea!

In the evening, everyone went back to the house, and the shopkeeper of the welcome building didn't know where to find some meat, saying that everyone had worked hard and had worked hard, and they should be treated well.

Mo Yanxi and the others looked at the neatly cut white meat on the table, the scene in the day had been lingering in their minds, several people looked at each other, a little disgusting, so no one moved their chopsticks, said they were sick, changed the table, and sat down to drink tea......

Yuan Huaisheng knew it in his heart, and he couldn't help but show a wicked smile on his face.

After eating, Muraichi and a few Bai family disciples went to the nearby mountains to look for herbs to refine corpse water.

In the hall on the first floor, only a few exchange clues were left for Mo Yanxi. The first to speak was Su Changqing

"Today I took them to ask them door-to-door, and they were unanimous, not like lying, and basically every other day a girl disappeared inexplicably. Nothing else, just a little that I thought was weird. ”

Everyone tensed their nerves and asked almost in unison, "What?" ”

Su Changqing said: "That is, every few days, the girls in the family will always be inexplicably snooze, no matter how they scream, they don't want to wake up, and then some of them will have a rash on their faces, and everyone doesn't care much, because girls and even young men at this age will get up, but I asked several families in a row, and almost every missing girl had a rash in those days." ”

After Mo Yanxi listened, he already had thoughts in his heart

"It's like, a form of selection."

Su Changqing nodded and said:

"Yes, I think so, too."

Mo Yanxi looked at Yuan Huaisheng and naturally asked:

"What clues do you have from Muraichi?"

After speaking, everyone gasped, Mo Yanxi felt that something was wrong, and suddenly reacted, his heart beat faster, and he also gasped, eager to hit himself in the mouth. When I think about it on weekdays, I forget everything, but I didn't expect that at this time, it would be... There was a hint of torture in his tone...... Dead!

Sure enough, Yuan Huaisheng turned his head to look at Mo Yanxi, and looked at Mo Yanxi's head in a cold sweat, fidgeting. Only then did he turn his head and take a sip of tea:

"Within one or twenty miles of the village, there are three places that meet the requirements."

Mo Yan was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to raise his head, let alone talk to him.

Su Changqing, who was on the side, coughed lightly and asked:

"Ninth Master, what three places did Muraichi say?"

Yuan Huaisheng said: "A manor at the foot of the northwest mountain, there are nearly 100 acres of carefully cultivated flowers, and some peach blossom branches are also planted. The second is in the east mountain, there is a Jizo Bodhisattva Temple, in which the monks are self-reliant, and all food is cultivated by themselves on weekdays. The last place is Hanshan Temple, which is located on the southwest peak, and a large peach blossom forest is planted in the back mountain. It has only recently come to flowering. The last two are different from what we predicted, but we can't rule out the possibility that they came from there. ”

When Mo Yanxi heard this, he admired Mura Yi a little, he could run all over so many places in a few hours, and the records were detailed, his martial arts were high, and his mind was delicate, all of which were first-class.

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but praise aloud:

"Ninth Master, you are worthy of being the person you trained, it is really amazing!"

Hearing this, Yuan Huaisheng turned his head, raised his eyebrows at Mo Yanxi and replied:

"Otherwise, I can't teach the kind of people who don't know how to respect and humility, bully the master, bully the master, and can't help the wind, and jump around on my head."

Mo Yanxi twitched the corners of his mouth, this person, really, stingy! Vengeful! And, the bully? Lord Ling?? Is there any mistake? Obviously, everyone is a cooperative relationship, okay?!
