"Missing, have you searched carefully?"

"There is a plague in the valley, how can you care about a little maid. I've been so busy until now. Zuo Ming said with some disapproval.

But Lu Sheng's eyes suddenly became solemn, "The outbreak of the plague in the Poison King Valley itself is very strange, and a person is missing at this juncture. Isn't it even more bizarre?"

"What does Lord Lu mean......" Zuo Ming was not a stupid person, and after this reminder, he instantly thought of the power, "If she is the one who caused the plague in the Academy and the Poison King Valley, her disappearance is very suspicious." Someone came, find out the maid at once, and don't let go of any clues. ”

"Yes!"

Under the leadership of Zuo Ming, Lu Sheng came to Zuo Guya's boudoir. After all, it is the daughter of the Poison King Valley, this boudoir is very beautifully decorated, and all the furniture furnishings are the same as the complete sets of furniture of Chuzhou Zhuyu Yaju.

"Zuo Guya has seen Lord Lu......" Zuo Guya was very ladylike and saluted Lu Sheng, seeing that Lu Sheng's eyes were full of moisture, and his cheeks were also flushed.

Lu Sheng sighed slightly in his heart, the demeanor of that day was indeed a little too pretending, listening to Xiao Nan's meaning, it seemed that half of the young ladies on the other side of the women's courtyard were wiped out.

"Miss Zhuo, I heard that your maid is missing?"

"Yes, last night I was under Xiaolan's service to take a shower and change clothes, and then she went out to ask someone to dispose of the bath water. However, he did not see anyone coming, so he had to call someone in person.

Later, I heard that there was a commotion outside, and my father immediately locked me in my room and wouldn't let me out. Afterwards...... Until now. ”

"In other words, there was no plague in the Valley of the Poison King before your maid disappeared?"

"This ......" Zuo Guya is not a fool, so she naturally understands Lu Sheng's intention in asking this question. Plague, has something to do with Xiaolan?

Zuo Guya's eyes showed confusion. But soon, Zuo Guya shook her head again and again to dispel this ridiculous thought.

"My lord, Xiaolan was my maid when she was very young, and although we grew up together, we were masters and servants, but we were like sisters. I have a gentle personality, and every time someone wants to bully me, Xiaolan stands in the way...... I don't think she'...... Boom ......"

As he spoke, he pinched the handkerchief and gently wiped it from the corner of his eye.

If I hadn't seen with my own eyes how you cleaned up the Tomu'an Forest that day, I would have almost believed it.

"Miss Zuo, haven't you seen where Zhuo Lan went? Lord Zuo Gu, can you take me to Zhuo Lan's room to have a look?"

"Zhuolan has always lived with me, and her room is my room......"

"Then, Miss Zuo, can I search it?"

"Yes!"

Searching a woman's boudoir is a taboo, and according to the case handling process of Xuantian Mansion, this matter should be done by the female Xuantianwei. But there are relatively few female Xuantianwei in Lanzhou, and there are not many brothers brought this time, so Lu Sheng had to search in person.

The most important thing in a woman's boudoir is naturally a woman's clothes and shoes. When Lu Sheng searched, Zuo Guya was burning clouds the whole time. Because Lu Sheng searched very carefully, this led to not even letting go of her underwear.

But alas, there was nothing suspicious in the room. Even Lu Sheng even found Mr. Jiao, who Zuo Guya secretly hid, but didn't find any suspicious objects.

The absence of suspicious objects does not prove Zhuolan's innocence, after all, the two of them may not hide key things in the house.

On the other side, the people of the Poison King Valley were also looking for the whole valley, and even went to the snake cave, but the scorpion pool was not found. Zhuo Lan seemed to disappear silently in an instant, which also deepened Lu Sheng's suspicions.

When night fell, Lu Sheng transferred another team of Xuantian Guards to the Poison King Valley to guard. Lu Sheng began to think about a question, why were not half of the people in the Poison King Valley infected by the plague? Lu Sheng knew, this plague was amazingly contagious. Several doctors have been recruited because of this.

Chirp –

A whistling sound pierced the sky and interrupted Lu Sheng's thoughts, Lu Sheng's figure flashed, and he hurriedly came to the outside of the valley. In the distance, a fast horse was galloping towards him. Coming to Lu Sheng, the fast horse hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse.

Before the horse could stand firmly, Xuan Tianwei on his back rolled off the horse's back in a smoke, "My lord, at dusk, a female corpse was found on Xingchen Beach, and the time of death should have been last night." ”

"What's so special about a female corpse?"

"The woman was slashed twelve times, and it was judged that she had died of blood, but the identity of the female corpse could not be determined, and this was a portrait of the female corpse. As he spoke, Xuan Tianwei took out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube behind him and handed it to Lu Sheng.

After opening his eyes and taking a look, Lu Sheng's face suddenly changed.

The woman in the portrait, who is not the missing Zhuolan?

"You take a break, I'll go first. Before the words landed, Lu Sheng's figure had disappeared.

When we arrived at the edge of Xingchen Beach, it was already night, and as soon as we approached, a team of Xuantianwei brothers greeted them.

"Your Excellency!"

"What about the corpses?"

"The subordinates will take the adults there. ”

It was a makeshift tent with seven oil lamps lit inside. Zhuolan's body was placed on the door panel in the room.

Zhuolan was naked, but there were no bruises on her body. Lu Sheng checked it and found no traces of violation. But perhaps because of soaking in the sea, the traces of encroachment will also be washed away by water.

"My lord, the deceased had twelve fatal stab wounds, each of which was precise. But strangely, these knife wounds all cut a large blood vessel but did not hurt anywhere else. The killer seems to be ...... Deliberately?

The identity of the deceased has not been determined for the time being, and there is nothing on the deceased that can prove his identity. ”

"I can confirm the identity of the deceased, he is the maid of the Poison King Valley, called Zhuo Lan. He is also one of the seven people in Zijin College who have not been infected with the plague...... But why did she die here?"

Lu Sheng looked at these knife wounds carefully, since the murderer could be taken away without knowing it, it was easy to kill her. One murder is enough to ......

Moreover, these twelve knives are extremely tricky, although they are all fatal wounds, they will not die immediately. The dead will bleed wildly, and then die of blood.

Bloodshed ......

Suddenly, Lu Sheng's mind lit up instantly, as if he had grasped some key point.

The sea of stars, shed blood......

She was one of the first people to experience the serpent coming ashore on the beach......

All these clues converged, and Lu Sheng suddenly had a guess. The murderer was for bloodletting.

I still remember when I said that I was slaying dragons in September, and dragon slaying required the blood of the Xuannu and the dragon slaying sword. The Dragon Slaying Sword can break through the defenses of the Xuan Snake, but what about the blood of the Xuan Maiden?

It should be the key to summoning the dragon, right? That day, the Xuan Snake appeared very strangely, didn't the Xuan Snake appear by chance? What is it?

At this moment, Lu Sheng felt that it was necessary for him to go to the Fairy Spirit Palace to ask.

"You stay here and continue to be vigilant, I'll go to the Fairy Palace. If you find an abnormality, can't you hesitate to raise the military formation?"

"Yes!"

Lu Sheng rushed into the void and went straight to the Immortal Spirit Palace. Along the way, Lu Sheng did not restrain his breath, and Shui Yue Xiaoling of the Natural Immortal Spirit Palace also sensed Lu Sheng's arrival very early.

"Why did Lord Lu come to visit late at night?" Lu Sheng hadn't fallen yet, and the figure of Shui Yue Lingxiao had already appeared at the gate of the mountain, "Lord Lu, please." ”

"There's no need to ask for it, I'm going to ask Mr. Mizuki about something. I once heard of one thing, if you want to slay the demon dragon, you need to kill the dragon sword and the blood of the Xuannu. Does the blood of the Xuan Maiden have anything to do with the Xuan Snake?"

"Xuannu blood?Lord Lu, do you know Xuannu's blood?Xuannu's blood has appeared again?"

"No! But it is related to a case that the official is investigating now, and I also ask the Lord of the Water Moon Palace to solve my doubts. ”

"Lord Lu, I told you last time that the Xuannu of folklore is actually a saint, and the blood of the Xuannu is the blood of the saint. In order to subdue this snake, the saintess fought fiercely with it, and finally the sea of stars was stained with blood.

The snake is a creature with a strong sense of revenge, and the saint beat it seriously, and the snake naturally hated the saint to the bone. Therefore, in the past thousand years, the snake has hated the blood of the saint to the bone. Therefore, as long as you smell the blood of the Holy Maiden, the snake will definitely go berserk. ”

"But since the saintess has been dead for a thousand years, where did the saint's blood come from?" Lu Sheng asked curiously.

"This ......," Shui Yue Ling Xiao hesitated for a long time and sighed slowly, "The Dragon Slaying Sword and the blood of the Xuannu were handed over to a swordsmith together after the war. Perhaps, the saint hopes that one day there will be a dragon slayer warrior who can slay the snake with the help of the dragon sword.

However, these two things only exist in mythology, and no one knows whether they are true or not, at least, the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Xuannu Blood have never appeared.

There are also rumors that she did not return to the Kunlun Holy Land after the disappearance of the saint, and it is rumored that she seems to be ...... It seems to have lived in the people. Probably, there will be bloodline heirs. ”

"Didn't the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Xuannu Blood ever appear?" Lu Sheng asked curiously.

"I really don't remember that. ”

Well, in September they must have slaughtered a fake dragon.

I thought I could get some secrets, but it turned out to be this seemingly reasonable and flawed explanation. But there is one thing that Lu Sheng thinks may be the truth.

In September, they successfully summoned the snake and fought it and were wiped out, as evidenced by the dragon sword inserted in the snake's throat. So what is the role of the blood of the Xuannu...... Summons the Serpent.

In the eyes of the murderer, the appearance of the Xuan Snake that day was not accidental, but attracted by the blood of the Xuan Maiden, and the murderer's purpose was to summon the Xuan Snake?

Who could it be?

Lu Sheng returned to Xuantian Mansion from the Immortal Spirit Palace, and was thinking about the problems behind this case.

First of all, the story of the battle between the Holy Maiden and the Snake is full of loopholes, if it weren't for the mythical story being a reality, how could the Holy Maiden not be able to defeat the Snake, even if one person couldn't beat it, wouldn't he summon helpers?

But the blood of the Holy Maiden can summon the Snake...... So what exactly is a snake?

Also, what is the purpose of the murderer trying to summon the Xuan Snake, in order to wreak havoc on Lanzhou or to kill the secret of immortality?

Knock Knock Knock –

A drum beat sounded fiercely, interrupting Lu Sheng's thoughts.

Lu Sheng's face sank, who, the drumming in the middle of the night reported the case.

"My lord!" Madoka came to the door of Lu Sheng's office, "My lord, the King of Joy has beaten the drum." ”

"King Yao?" Lu Sheng's face was strange, and he quickly stood up. In the lobby, I saw the King of Joy sitting in the hall with a black face in anger.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you, why are you so angry?"

"Lord Lu, you must help me find that bastard, this king will skin him and cramp. ”

"What's wrong? Could it be that something happened to the Xiaoyao Palace?"

"The Dragon Slaying Sword has just been lost, and this king hasn't had time to cover the heat...... Which bastard actually stole the dragon slaying sword again...... I'm so angry with this king!"

"Uh-stolen?"

"Steal, tonight! This king has to wipe the dragon sword every day before he is willing to sleep, and when he goes to the treasure house today, the dragon sword is gone. Lord Lu, you immediately follow me to the palace and find out that bastard for me. ”
