Chapter 523: Mysterious Legends

Bai Yu frowned and hesitated, and the hand holding the whistle became tighter and tighter.

This was the first time Wen Xiaoyun had seen a helpless expression on Bai Yu's face.

Wen Xiaoyun knew that Bai Hu's life had been very depressed and difficult over the years. Qin Qi, who can keep him by his side at any time and know all his thoughts and secrets, must be a very important existence for him.

Since the crossing, there has always been Qin Qi's shadow around the white crane she has seen.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Qin Qi is the shadow of Bai Yu. The trust and affection between them is better than that of any relatives and brothers.

She thought that for so many years, Qin Qi should never have failed in response to Bai Crane's order, so that he could be as calm as Bai Crane and be so flustered.

Thinking of this, her hand holding Bai Qi's wrist unconsciously tightened a little more, "Brother Bai, Qin Qi is so loyal to you, if he doesn't see you, he will definitely not have an accident." I believe in Him. ”

Bai Yu's eyes changed slightly, Mu Ran turned his gaze, and looked at Wen Xiaoyun, his eyes sank a little.

Wen Xiaoyun tilted his head, Xingyuan's eyes were shining, and he was unusually firm, "Quickly give instructions to the other brothers in the shadows, and tell them to hurry up and help Brother Qin." ”

Bai Yu's fingers trembled suddenly, then he picked up the whistle and blew three long whistles in the direction of the river.

The whistle was melodious, like the cry of a yellow warbler, turning to the sky again and again.

For some reason, listening to the whistle, Wen Xiaoyun also added a little sadness.

"Come here, young man," said She Pi, who had returned to the campfire, as he pouted a wooden branch and added firewood, "and you are waiting for someone to do it, just to hear the story of the old man." ”

Wen Xiaoyun turned his head and saw She Pi staring at the burning and jumping flames with a faint gaze, and paused for a moment before nodding, "It must be a long time to hear the story of the seniors." ”

With that, she pulled Bai Hu and walked back to the small shack that Yin Nuo had built temporarily.

Although Bai Hu's movements were a little stiff and there was a look of being out of his mind, he still followed Wen Xiaoyun's movements and sat by the bonfire together.

He stared at the gradually burned firewood in the campfire with a somewhat stunned expression.

Wen Xiaoyun looked at the orange firelight that could not warm his side face, and his mood was also very low. But he still cheered up, looked at She Pi, and asked curiously: "The story of the predecessors is related to the ambush of the Wen Xiang Sect?" ”

She Pi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Wen Xiaoyun, with a glint of approval in her eyes, "The little girl is really a good person." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head again, looking through the gap in the fence wall and looking at the calm river in the distance, "Wen Xiangjiao's style of doing crimes, I don't think I need to say much about the old man, you also know it very well." ”

Wen Xiaoyun frowned unconsciously, and looked far away in the direction of She Pi's gaze, and said thoughtfully: "That's true, Wen Xiangjiao's behavior style is to pretend to design the layout of various gods and ghosts. However, those previous cases did this, firstly, to hide the real murderer, and secondly, to deter people's hearts and pave the way for their appearance. In today's ambush, there are only five of us in total as victims and bystanders, and they shouldn't have any reason to plan some kind of murder case like this. ”

Hearing this, Bai Hu finally had a slight reaction, raised his head and looked at She Pi beside him and asked in a cold voice: "Senior, the most important thing is that our route was decided temporarily. Even if it was true that the disciples who were hidden in Yanzhou Mansion followed the younger generations all the way to learn about this waterway, it was impossible for them to have time to lay out such a complex and elaborate ambush in advance. ”

She Pi twisted his beard and smiled, "What you said is good, but one thing already exists long before your judgments. ”

Wen Xiaoyun asked, "What is it?" ”

She Pi: "When did Wen Xiangjiao's idea of pretending to commit crimes under the pretense of various ghost and god legends, or habits, come about? ”

Wen Xiaoyun's eyes flickered, and She Pi did point out a question that she had never thought about before.

She Pi continued: "A series of major cases in Yanzhou Mansion have been planned for a long time before they can be realized. The method of committing the crime chosen by the inherently little girl has two motives, but there is a deeper reason for it.

That is, they are very familiar with all kinds of ghosts and legends, and they are very familiar with committing crimes in the name of gods and ghosts.

And for one thing, if they want to be good at it, they must have done it often before.

If they do this for a long time, they will develop a habit that as long as they do the game, it is easy to pretend to be on some gods and ghosts, so that people cannot see the key to it. ”

Wen Xiaoyun nodded, "That's true." ”

She unconsciously remembered the various hands she had dealt with Wen Xiangjiao, whether it was against the Tiger General layout or against the dice lady, Wen Xiangjiao was indeed full of ghosts and spirits.

She Pi continued: "And the old man happened to know an ancient legend of this river, thinking that if it was really the people of the Wen Xiang Sect who made the layout, would he habitually lay it out according to that legend. ”

Hearing the two words of layout, Bai Crane's eyes were unconscious, "What legend?" ”
