The shadow of a huge mountain is falling here, and there is darkness on all sides, and the wind is even quieter.

Except for the low sigh-like sound of the wind, there was no other sound on all sides.

Standing at the foot of the pagoda and looking at it, it was pitch black in front of me, and I couldn't even see the slightest bit of light, so I couldn't tell if there was anyone in the big pagoda.

Or rather, no idea what's in the pagoda at all. Maybe there are swordsmen in ambush in the shadows, maybe there are mechanisms that kill people, maybe there are two first-class masters of our time.

Maybe, maybe nothing.

Outside each layer of the tower, there are cornices obliquely out, with Su Yang and Ding Xi's light skills, it is not difficult to leap up layer by layer.

But they preferred to take the stairs, and they did not want to see a knife suddenly come out of the darkness as they leaped upwards, rather than be kicked in the air and fall here like a dog.

No matter how narrow and dark the stairs in the tower are, they are always down-to-earth. As long as a person is willing to be down-to-earth, he can always reach the end, even if it will be a little slower, but even if there are some unexpected changes, he will have time to react.

Sometimes, slow is fast.

There was neither an ambush nor anyone in the pagoda, and the paper on the windows on all sides was torn and whirring in the wind.

The more you go up, the stronger the wind and the louder the sound, while the surroundings get darker.

Step by step, a total of five floors, one hundred and sixty-three steps.

Stepping up the one hundred and sixty-fourth steps, I finally came to the sixth floor.

A glimmer of light came from the splints of the seventh and sixth layers. Although it was only a very faint candlelight, in the darkness, it was nothing less than the dazzling sun.

There's someone on the seventh floor!

Su Yang's Ding Xi glanced at each other. At the same time, he stopped, holding his breath.

Maybe the people above didn't hear the footsteps of someone coming, maybe they heard it and took precautions, but in any case, there was no movement on the seventh floor, only the whistling of the night wind in their ears. The sound of the hula flutter of window paper.

Su Yang made a gesture to Ding Xi, and they bowed down at the same time, like two thieves entering the house. Vigilantly and slowly, he walked forward, through the sixth floor, and slowly stepped onto the passage to the seventh floor.

1st order, 2nd order...... Climb the stairs and climb the stairs. Always ready to strike a blow.

Finally. It's already on the seventh floor.

One lamp, two chairs, two people sitting opposite each other.

It is Gui Dongjing and Ximen Sheng, the two of them are facing the outside of the tower and facing Su Yang on the side.

The dim light flickered and shone on the faces of the two, imprinting their gloomy side faces, as if smiling rather than smiling. seems to be crying but not crying, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised. But the muscles on his face are drooping, like zombies, and like clowns on the stage.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew from the window, and there was a faint smell of rancid smell in the wind.

The smell of the dead.

Su Yang sighed, jumped out of the stairs with a big grin, and jumped onto the floor of the seventh floor, until this time, Gui Dongjing and Ximen Sheng were still slumped in their chairs, maintaining that strange smile on their faces.

"Come on, something is wrong!" Su Yang beckoned to Ding Xi: "These two people will probably never do anything with us." ”

Ding Xi also followed, and was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

Of course, he could also see that these two people were actually dead.

"What's going on?" Ding Xi said unexpectedly.

Su Yang walked to the two of them, stretched out his hand and probed under their noses, sure enough, there was no longer a trace of breath, and pressed it on Gui Dongjing's face again, the place where he started was soft and inelastic, and he immediately fell into a piece, followed by a foul smell, and a fishy pus mixed with blood flowed out of his nose and ears and eyes.

The same is true of Ximensheng, which is generally the same.

"If it weren't for the dead, there would be no dead people in this world."

Su Yang sighed, his eyes flashing on the front of their bodies.

A stainless steel judge's pen was inserted diagonally into Gui Dongjing's lower abdomen, while Ximen Sheng's front chest was inserted with a dagger, and the dagger was inserted deep into his chest, leaving only a handle outside.

"These two people died in flames?" Ding Xi took a breath of cool air, this judge's pen is Ximensheng's unique weapon, it has always been a pen in the person, and the dagger is also engraved with a small word 'return', the handle is inlaid with gold and jade, and there is a huge pearl at the end, which is in line with the luxury habit of returning to the east.

"Why did these two people fight on their own first?"

Su Yang and Ding Xi almost kept asking questions, but no one could answer their questions.

Ximen Sheng was originally half of Dongjing's subordinates, and after being poisoned, he should only obey Dongjing's orders, and after Dongjing was injured, his combat strength was damaged, and he would not kill his right-hand man for no reason.

Ding Xi circled around the corpses of the two, made a few strange movements, and suddenly said: "You see that before they died, they didn't seem to be ready to do anything, but were talking about something." As he spoke, he pointed to the two corpses and said, "You see they are sitting in chairs, and they are not far apart, almost face to face, and if you are going to do it, it should not be in this position." ”

"So what are they talking about? Actually talked and talked and started fighting? Only then did Su Yang understand that Ding Xi's actions just now were imitating the posture of the position of the two of them before their deaths, so he also tried it once, and it was really good, the distance and angle between the two people, as well as the state of their corpses now, were very consistent with the scene of chatting and then suddenly making a move.

Ding Xi took a breath of cool air and said suspiciously: "Gui Dongjing was injured, maybe Ximen Sheng saw an opportunity, so he asked him for an antidote, of course Gui Dongjing didn't give it, so he did it if he didn't agree with him." ”

He pointed to the ground again. There was a small pinch of pale white powder on the floor, and the powder seemed to be an irregular line, stretching intermittently towards the corner of the room.

Follow the white powder, a little farther around the corner. Sure enough, there was a calfskin paper bag that had been opened.

Ding Xi walked over and picked up the paper bag, which still had some residual white powder inside.

At this time, Su Yang had also discovered that the direction in which the judge's pen on Gui Dongjing's stomach was inserted obliquely, not vertically. In other words, when the killer shot, it was indeed from the oblique side, which happened to be the direction where Ximen was sitting.

The same is true of the dagger on Simmon's chest.

Seeing the posture of these two people clearly, Su Yang suddenly closed his eyes, and such a picture appeared in his mind:

Ximen Sheng and Gui Dongjing sat opposite each other, and Ximen Sheng asked Gui Dongjing for an antidote, but of course Gui Dongjing did not give it. And even take out the antidote and threaten something. After going back and forth, the two of them stiffened, and Gui Dongjing suddenly had evil thoughts, feeling that it was useless to keep Ximensheng anymore. Maybe it's still a living mouth that will leak secrets, so he broke out and stabbed into Ximensheng's heart.

Ximen Sheng was shocked, and subconsciously lifted the judge's pen next to him and stabbed back to Dongjing's lower abdomen. Gui Dongjing didn't expect that he was punched by Deng Dinghou. Inconvenient to move, and without dodging this moment, Ximen Sheng used his last breath to insert the judge's pen deeply into Gui Dongjing's lower abdomen.

When I opened my eyes again, the two tasks in my mind just now continued to move for a moment, and the movements and bodies of the two people were exactly fixed in what I saw in front of me, which coincided with the current forms of the two people.

"If Gui Dongjing hadn't been injured, Ximen Sheng might not have been able to kill him." Ding Xi looked at the position where the judge's pen was inserted. Said: "This is not fatal, Gui Dongjing is seriously injured and unconscious." Died of excessive blood loss. ”

"Hurt?" Su Yang had a flash of inspiration, yes, Deng Dinghou once said that he was seriously injured and returned to Dongjing.

Su Yang immediately endured the nausea, and started to touch Dongjing's body little by little.

"Looking for the injured place, Gui Dongjing suffered Deng Dinghou's fist, there must be broken bones, broken bones are not flesh wounds, and they can't get better in a month or two."

Ding Xi also understood, bent down and started to touch the calf of Gui Dongjing's corpse, and asked while touching: "Do you suspect Deng Dinghou?" ”

"Anyone can doubt it. Ximen Sheng and Gui Dongjing's martial arts are not under Deng Dinghou, and he can return to Dongjing with one enemy and two enemies, which is beyond my expectations. If Gui Dongjing is not injured, then the hidden truth in this matter is too great. ”

From the bottom of his heart, Su Yang really hopes to find the broken bones on Gui Dongjing's body, in which case the answer is already coming out, but if there are no broken bones, then this series of seemingly clear clues will immediately be mixed into a completely unexplained mess.

Just thinking about it, with a light hand, he happened to touch Gui Dongjing's ribs, and touched it in the direction of the ribs, and at least four ribs were broken into two from it.

"Found it?" Ding Xi saw that Su Yang stopped moving, so he raised his head and asked.

"Let's go, there doesn't seem to be any doubt." Su Yang pondered for a moment, nodded and stood up, turned around and walked downstairs.

Ding Xi chased after him and asked, "What does it mean that 'it seems' is over?" ”

"It seems to mean that as soon as these two people die, the whole thing will make sense." Suyang Road.

"Does it make sense that it necessarily means it's right?" Ding Xi shook his head and said, "At least we still have one thing to do." ”

Su Yang stopped suddenly, stared back at Ding Xi with blazing eyes, and asked, "Are you really going to do that?" ”

Ding Xi was silent for a moment and said, "If it's really him, I'll do it myself." Since Deng Dinghou said that Baili Changqing could not use internal strength, this was a lie in order to warn us, then Wang Wanwu's death is inseparable from Baili Changqing. I even suspect that he has joined the Blue Dragon Society in order to keep his evergreen dart game. ”

"Using what the other party cares about the most to coerce the other party to comply, this is the usual method used by the Blue Dragon Society, and controlling the newly rising forces of the rivers and lakes such as the Joint Venture Dart Bureau is also one of the most important goals of the Blue Dragon Society." Su Yang nodded.

"The refusal of the Dawang Dart Bureau to join the joint venture dart bureau has become the biggest obstacle for the joint venture dart bureau to dominate the dart industry in the Guannei, and if Baili Changqing is really a member of the Blue Dragon Club, he directed and acted in the assassination play, and it is normal to get rid of Wang Wanwu and a few disobedient people in the joint dart bureau."

Ding Xi said: "The only thing I'm not sure about is that Wang Wanwu's painting of 'May 13, Avoiding the Green Dragon' has been preserved decades ago, why is this?" ”

Su Yang shook his head: "Maybe this qiē needs to be answered by Baili Changqing himself." ”

As soon as the words fell, a terrible and frightened cry came from outside the tower.

Miss Wang!
