Chapter 0229: Demon Gu [Shi Huan Sundial]

Xiao Chuhong took Su Hao out of Kyoto City directly, and at the moment when they left the city, several fast horses and identical carriages went in all directions, so as to confuse the eyes of the pursuers and the Qinwang Party.

They went around and around for an unknown number of circles, and finally, after making sure that there were no pursuers, they came to the edge of a cliff on a certain mountain.

Xiao Chuhong jumped down directly without thinking about it, estimated the height, drew his sword with one hand and stabbed into the cliff, the speed of the fall slowed down, deep scratches were drawn on the wall, sparks from friction flew everywhere, and broken stones kept falling from the top of their heads.

Su Zhen was tightly confined in Xiao Chuhong's arms, her cheeks were pressed against Xiao Chuhong's chest, and at this moment, she felt a sense of stability that she had never felt before.

When they landed firmly on the platform that stretched out from the edge of the cliff, many birds were startled.

As soon as Xiao Chuhong unlocked Su Zhen's acupoint, she immediately pushed him away, took two steps back, and the stones at her feet rolled down the cliff, and glanced down, all over the fog, even she often flew in the sky, she was a little dizzy.

"Xiao Chuhong! What the hell do you and Higashi-kun want to do?! ”

"You don't need to ask, in short, we won't let you have anything, but you can't enter the palace to see the emperor now."

"Why? You make it clear! I didn't kill anyone, so why should I run away? ”

"The deaths of Xiyan, Li Jieyu and the dumb slave are not as simple as you think. If Miss Yue is the mastermind behind the scenes, she must be brewing a big conspiracy. ”

"Of course I do! Eh, wait, Miss Yue? No, weren't you stupid? Okay, you, you're kidding me again?! ”

Seeing that she was annoyed and angry, and wanted to beat him to vent her anger, Xiao Chuhong's expression became more and more serious, "The woman in red you saw last night was Li Jieyu, but what I saw before I fell out was a woman in Tsing Yi." ”

"You mean Xiyan?"

"I haven't seen her portrait, but Shi Huan will not deceive people."

"What? You mean that Shi Huan Sundial, who is known as the Demon Gu? It turned out that Li Jieyu's blue water jade bracelet turned out to be an artifact! It's so good to disguise! ”

Su Zhen looked at the wood-colored thin rope hovering around his wrist, Yin Shen was still not awake, he was actually injured by Shi Huan Sundial.

"You know a lot."

"I've just heard of it, Shi Huan Sundial, an ancient artifact that can turn back time. But it is also known as the Demon Gu, which sucks blood and can use people's desires to help them achieve their desires. ”

"Then do you know why Yue Xian'er was able to come back to life again and again?"

Su Zhen shook her head, "Her blood contains the spiritual power of the Tiller Yuan Fruit, could it be that her body has undergone a mutation, like... The same as the nine-life cat demon? ”

"You think too much, after she ate the corpse of her relatives, the whole person became crazy, and even set fire to her own home, and Li Yu was separated from Yue Xian'er's body at that time."

Su Zhen was shocked when she heard this, could it be that her memory was temporarily sealed due to Li Yu's departure, so she didn't see the bloody scene when she used the empathy technique on Yue Xian'er?

"General Xiao, do you mean to say that the reason why Li Yu exists is because she has endured extremely distorted pain for Yue Xian'er?"

"Hmm."

"That Xiyan who went to Jiangnan carries her expectations and desires for freedom?"

"Hmm."

The expressions of the two gradually became heavy, and Su Zhen rubbed her eyebrows, "It's useless for you to save me, but it will expose your years of forbearance in front of others, why bother?" ”

"Those twists and turns are nothing compared to you."

"......" Su Hao avoided Xiao Chuhong's affectionate eyes and touched her nose in embarrassment, "What you said before is true?" ”

"You think I'm lying?"

"But in your eyes, I'm a man!"

"I don't mind."

He doesn't mind! But she minds!

Su Zhen was speechless, what is the difference between her and playing the piano to the cow? The sum of her two lifetimes is more than enough for Xiao Chuhong's ancestors at this age, not to mention that the old cow eats tender grass?!

She coughed dryly twice and changed the subject, "Originally, I didn't want to investigate this case, but on the way to the palace, I kept thinking about the words of the imperial lord. I feel that I am so selfish, and I have died tragically one after another, but in order to deceive myself, I will not give justice to the deceased. ”

Regarding Su Hao's deliberate evasion, Xiao Chuhong didn't intend to retreat after being lonely, smiled bitterly, raised his hand and landed on her head, and rubbed it lightly to show comfort.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Su Zhen shook his hand away and said, "Actually, I thought a lot about it in the prison last night, but I still feel that the dumb slave is not dead. Compared with what happened after the death of Li Jieyu and Xiyan, her body was not burned by flames, but directly turned into a skeleton, and I have three ideas. ”

He said lightly, "Well, let's talk about it." ”

"One, Xiyan and the two of them just want to use the corpse as a pretense to fake their death and escape.

As for the two.... Suppose that the bodies of all three of them will quickly wither into white bones after they die. In order to prevent this secret from being discovered, their bodies were burned. At present, I can only suspect that the change in the corpse was affected by the effect of the tiller fruit in Yue Xian'er's true blood.

Thirdly, my friend was seriously injured by the owner of Shi Huan's sundial and has not woken up yet. I think he must have discovered their secret and wanted to kill him. ”

She had asked Mo Sheng to look for Mi Yao's solution, but she disappeared again, as if she was deliberately avoiding her.

Shi Huan dial, porcelain doll, tiller yuanguo...... What's the connection?

Alas! I knew that she wouldn't be thinking nonsense at that time, maybe she could find some clues from the fragments given by Shi Huanzhi.

Wait a minute!

"Huh? General Xiao, if you had been playing dumb at the time, then you should have seen those fragments too. Then do you know why Yue Xian'er followed Jingyao into the palace? ”

"I don't know, I don't see it."

He answered so quickly, it must be fake!

Su Zhen tilted her head and looked at him half-up, "Did you really see something?" ”

Xiao Chuhong lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before calling, "Zhen Zhen." ”

"Huh?"

"If you insist on revealing the truth, it will be ten thousand times more painful and regretful than restarting Yue Xian'er's nightmare, do you still want to uncover it?"

“......”

Su Hao's smile froze, and her expression regained her expressionlessness, "What the Imperial Lord said is right, finding out the truth and returning justice to the deceased is my duty and obligation as the Commander's Mansion and the Young Secretary." Also, I don't want to lose in vain. ”

Xiao Chuhong nodded, turned around, and slammed his palm on the stone wall, in Su Hao's surprised gaze, there was a 'boom' sound from the stone wall, a stone gate rose up, and dust and gravel continued to fall.

Su Hao covered her mouth and nose, and a dark cave appeared in front of her, and the light in it was very dim, and there was no end in sight.

"General Xiao, what is this place?"

"Follow me."

"Oh."

Xiao Chuhong took Su Zhen's hand very naturally, the latter's ears were hot, and he just wanted to break free, but he heard him say, "There is a mechanism on the ground, follow me." ”

"Oh! Got it. ”

Hearing Su Hao's compromise, the corners of Xiao Chuhong's lips, who had his back to her, hooked.

Of course, he didn't know that no matter how dark the light was, it would not affect Su Hao, who had perspective, she just wanted to accommodate him on a whim.

After they stepped into the stone gate, Xiao Chuhong took a step forward, only to hear a 'click' sound from under his feet, and the stone door behind him closed in response. He snapped his fingers at the same time, and clusters of white flames flew out of the stone wall, illuminating their path in a small area.
