After leaving the habitable city, the villages he encountered on the road were still full of corpses, and Gu Xuan confirmed his own judgment.

Under the guidance of the Fortune Mouse, the Golden Carp Boat finally flew over a dense forest, and the leaves were still green.

"Squeak!"

Seeing that the forelimbs of the Hongyun rat were pointing downwards again and again, He Wei immediately urged his mental power to stop the golden carp boat.

"I'll go down and see. ”

Gu Xuan jumped first to the thick branches, and then to the ground, and the Fortune Rat stood on his shoulder.

There was a dead tree on the ground, and its branches had been broken, and only the bare trunk was left, the thickness of a basin mouth.

"Squeak!"

The forelimbs of the Fortune Mouse pointed to a certain position in the bald tree and shouted triumphantly.

Gu Xuan looked at it, and there was a ring-shaped scar on the trunk here, as if the branch was cut off.

The treasure found by the Fortune Rat is clearly hidden in the trunk of a tree.

Gu Xuan immediately took out a golden long sword, inserted a sword into the scar, and cut it in a circle, and the trunk suddenly broke open and fell to the ground.

"Senior, it's this treasure. ”

"Dig it out and see. ”

On the section of the bald stump, there was a gray crystal needle, three inches long and as thick as an embroidery needle.

Gu Xuan provoked the blade of the sword and quickly dug out the gray crystal needle.

As soon as he probed his mind, in a certain pattern array on the needle body, there were flashes of magic patterns: "Senior, take a look, this instrument pattern array will actually flicker magic patterns." ”

"That's called the Treasure Circle. Wang Mang quickly responded, "Only the secret treasure has the treasure array, and the method of sacrifice and refining is different from the ordinary pattern, so the magic pattern recorded in the treasure array must be condensed into a treasure exorcism spell, and the original god mark will be branded." ”

Gu Xuan pondered: "Since this needle is a treasure, it must have been penetrated into the trunk of the tree during the battle. ”

Wang Mang analyzed: "According to the old man's observation, the material of this needle is the skeleton of some kind of demon, and the demon qi restrains the aura, and the tree will dry up." ”

At this time, it was inconvenient to practice, Gu Xuan put away the crystal needle, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw Hongyun rat staring at him.

When Gu Xuan generously took out a medium-grade blood tonic pill, the Hongyun Rat was radiant and squeaked happily.

Seeing Gu Xuan leaping back to the spirit boat, He Wei smiled: "It's the first time I've seen the Hongyun Rat Treasure Hunting, and it's really extraordinary." ”

Di Hong said angrily: "Although Xiaohong is good at treasure hunting, if he finds a treasure, he will reward a medium-grade blood tonic pill, and he will pay it back." ”

"Squeak. The Fortune Rat hurriedly protested, his eyes staring at Di Hong.

Gu Xuan thought for a moment and said solemnly: "Xiao Hong, there are only two of my medium-grade blood tonic pills left, so you will specifically look for treasures that can move, and if you get something, you will directly reward two of them." ”

In fact, there are more than a dozen medium-grade blood tonic pills, but Gu Xuan and Xiaoqing need to take them, and they can't be wasted.

The lucky rat tilted his little head, as if thinking, and then squeaked twice, which was regarded as agreeing.

He Wei smiled slightly, urging his mental power, and the golden carp boat flew out.

......

Located in the middle of Wolyeong Island, Wangyang Mountain is the highest mountain on the island.

After sunset, the ten murderers gathered at the top of Wangyang Mountain.

Together, none of the three teams found the murderer, and more than 20,000 corpses were encountered on the way.

The atmosphere at the top of the mountain was a little depressing, and He Wei said in a deep voice: "I'll rest here tonight, and tomorrow I will search the south and kill the murderer." ”

The Yang Pupil Bird has been recalled and is standing on the branch, Yang Xiao glanced at the flock of birds, his eyes flashed slightly: "Do you want the Yang Pupil Bird to search overnight?"

He Wei looked at Gu Xuan: "If Brother Shu has an idea, it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the murderers converged on Gu Xuan.

Gu Xuan's demeanor was calm, and he said loudly: "On the way to find the murderer, I pondered with Brother He repeatedly, but I had some eyebrows. The murderer committed the murder once every five days, presumably because the soul hook was absorbing a certain amount of primordial spirit, and it needed to be re-refined, and the murderer was mostly hidden in the city. ”

Yang Xiao smiled: "What the scholar said is reasonable, but the murderer left the mortals in the city, and he may also be suspicious, hiding outside, and letting me wait in the city to toss around." ”

"Probably not much. Gu Xuan shook his head, "This island is quite far from the interior of Kuozhou, and there are no monks in the town, so the murderer will commit murder unscrupulously." Compared with hiding outside, the city is more secretive and has more room for maneuver. The detainees will also search the outside first, and then the city. ”

Yang Xiao thought for a while: "Scholar friends are thoughtful, I don't know what suggestions for the Yang Pupil Bird to search overnight?"

Gu Xuan said slowly: "The Yang Pupil Bird can be divided into two parts, one part searches the east, west, and north cities, and the other patrols the edge of the island to prevent the murderer from being alarmed and escaping overnight." ”

As soon as the words fell, He Wei hurriedly said: "Brother Shu's words are very good, please do what Qiu Daoyou does." ”

"Wait. Mu Rong immediately asked, "Scholar, why don't you search the southern area?"

Gu Xuan responded: "Judging by the distribution of the corpses on the way, the murderers all committed crimes during the day, and I will search the south tomorrow, either to find out the hiding point and smash the Yellow Dragon, or to take advantage of the murderer's murder and then rush up." ”

Yang Xiao nodded in agreement: "What Brother Shu said is extremely true, it is not appropriate to alarm the murderer tonight, once the murderer escapes, although it is impossible to escape from the island, but if we want to kill the other party, it will inevitably have many twists and turns." ”

Beichen Yun stared at Gu Xuan, and said in a strange manner: "Since this is the case, you shouldn't release the Yang Pupil Bird, the words of the scholar are obvious, did you miss this point?"

Mu Rong's expression moved: "Scholar Daoist thinks the murderer is hiding in the south?"

Gu Xuan nodded: "First, the south is convenient for escape; second, the detainees will inevitably search the murder area first, and even miss the south; third, the city in the murder area will be used for suspicion." ”

Qiu Shu was surprised: "According to what the scholar said, the murderer is more likely to hide in the city. ”

Gu Xuan said: "If the murderer hides in a small town or village in the south, the city in the area where the murder is committed will be suspicious. ”

Yang Xiao's eyes lit up: "If the detainees find nothing in the murder area, they will inevitably search the southern city first, and the murderer will have one more layer of leeway." Calligraphy and wisdom are as deep as the sea, and they are admired below. ”

Yang Daoyou praised falsely. Gu Xuan chuckled, "As for the Yang Pupil Bird searching the city in the area where the murder occurred, it was just in case. ”

"Okay!" He Wei's eyes were blazing, and he stroked his palms and smiled, "Wonderful!"

Qiu Shu hurriedly sent out his thoughts, and the Yang-pupil bird spread its wings and rose up, divided into two groups in the air, and flew out in all directions.

Gu Xuan's eyes swept slightly, and the reactions of the other murderers were all visible.

Beichen Yun was bored with himself, and couldn't help but snort secretly. Ximen Qi's expression was complicated, and he was faintly jealous.

Only Di Hong was radiant, and her eyes were flowing with a strange luster.

......

In the invisible Spirit Palace Boat Secret Room, Mo Wen listened to Gu Xuan's words with a look of appreciation on his face.

Lianhua Zhenren chuckled: "Ximen's book is interesting, when he says that he is the murderer, he actually refers to the investigator." ”

Mo Wen smiled and said: "There is something in the words of the flowers, could it be an allusion to the incompetence of the imperial court? Everyone here is scheming, but who can think of this layer of Ximen Shu?"

Tianxing is truly humane: "Even though Simon Shu is thoughtful, the murderer may not have such a wise man, and the murderer will inevitably commit murder tomorrow, and it will be seen and known at that time." ”

Seeing that the down-and-out real person was thoughtful, Mo asked with a smile: "The down-and-out mind doesn't belong, but do you have something to say?"

"Simon's wisdom is beyond my estimates, and with his attitude towards He Wei, I think he has already determined that He Wei is the one who should be robbed. ”

Mo Wen said solemnly: "Judging from the current situation, He Wei is top-notch in all aspects, and he should worry a lot about his safety in the Gangli Realm. ”

......

Seeing that the others were looking for rocks to sit on, Di Hong looked around, pulled up Gu Xuan's sleeve, and pointed to a big tree not far away: "Nasty ghost, let's go to the canopy for the night." ”

Gu Xuan nodded: "Okay." ”

Seeing this, Ximen Qi hurriedly sent a message to Gu Xuan: "You wait, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Gu Xuan's expression moved, and he waved his hand: "Sister Hong, you go to the canopy first, and I will arrive later." ”

After Di Hong left, Ximen Qi came closer, and Gu Xuan simply squatted down.

Ximen Qi glanced at the back of Gu Xuan's head, and felt angry in his heart, and wanted to kick him off the mountain, so he immediately held back, squatted down, and said: "After my observation on the way, Dongfang Ying and Beichen Yun are indeed suspicious everywhere. ”

Wang Mang chuckled: "This kid was provoked by you, and he was already suspicious, so he naturally felt that they were suspicious." ”

Gu Xuan turned his head sideways and said: "If you want to say anything, just say it." ”

Ximen Qi asked directly: "Do you have a way to identify the murderer?"

Gu Xuan thought for a moment: "If I were you, I would retaliate directly." No matter what the reason for the betrayal of the two female samurai, they will definitely be killed afterwards, and it is difficult to find evidence of the murderer, so they can only secretly retaliate. ”

Ximen Qi was a little dissatisfied: "I can't swallow this breath either, but if you want to take revenge on anyone, you can't work blindly." ”

Gu Xuan said: "If Dongfang and Beichen are not in alliance, what one of them does will only hide from the other. Whoever you suspect the most, you will seek revenge, as long as you don't expose it, and then you can always find out the murderer. ”

Ximen Qi thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but show a cold light: "This move is good, I have found a breakthrough." ”

Gu Xuan hurriedly explained: "This matter will affect the whole body, after returning to Cuishan, you have a good plan, wait for the return of the ancestor to do it, if you really can't help it, you can't go out in person." ”

"I know. Ximen Qi turned to ask, "If you go out to travel, if you can't find a chance to cultivate, you don't plan to return in the future?"

"If so, you can only go back. Gu Xuan sighed sincerely, "If there is a need at that time, I will not stand idly by." ”

"If you give up and rebuild, your spiritual root is inferior, but it's hard for you. Ximen Qi patted Gu Xuan on the shoulder, "If he sincerely helps you in the future, I will not treat you badly, and even make you the next head of the family." ”

Nangong Yan walked closer, and Lang Lang smiled: "You two are sneaky, what are you plotting here?"

Ximen Qi stood up and glared at Nangong Yan: "This son is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he disdains to be in the company of villains. ”

Nangong Yan waved his hand: "Then you go away, it's annoying to see you." ”

"Let's see!" Ximen Qi put down a cruel sentence and walked away.

Nangong Yan sat down casually and asked softly: "Fang Cai's words, like a sword out of the sheath, sharp and sharp, you kid deliberately show off?"

Gu Xuan also sat down, took out two jars of spirit wine, and handed one to Nangong Yan.

Take this opportunity to reveal your extraordinary mind, so as not to reveal the identity of the perpetrator in the future, which will be difficult for outsiders to accept.

This is Wang Mang's suggestion on the way to find the murderer, and Gu Xuan thinks so.
