Chapter Ninety-Seven: Blood and Bone Danqing

The book continued from the above, and the last book said that Li Tianxin and the old madman and others came to the General's Mansion and visited one of the suspects. The three of them saw the second portrait of a girl in the General's Mansion, and after a few conversations, the General's Mansion was unusually calm about Li Manman's death. The general's words were also very reasonable, and the three of them came to Zhilan Academy with the rest of the questions. So it led to the painting of people and tigers is difficult to draw bones, knowing people and knowing faces do not know the heart, a paper scroll urging people's lives, flesh and blood are Dan bones are green.

After the general's mansion, Li Tianxin was still confused, she didn't think that Li Hong was really as innocent as he said. But there was no loophole in his words, and they all seemed so reasonable.

"Two Dao Masters, this Zhilan Academy is right in front of you, are you ready?" Zhu Ran looked at a building that was getting closer and closer in front of him, and felt nervous, in his heart, the Ziyu painter was the monster who ate human flesh and bones and drank human blood.

"If you come, you will be safe, I don't have to be too nervous." The old madman had a calm face, and he obviously had a good idea of what was going to happen next.

"Is it really this artist?" Li Tianxin also ran out of ideas. "He eats human flesh and drinks human blood. Could it be for health? ”

"You! Don't speculate, everything will be clear at once. The old madman smiled confidently.

In less than a cup of tea, the three of them were already sitting on a stone bench in a water pavilion in the main courtyard of Zhilan Academy. The people from the academy settled the three of them and went to invite the painter Ziyu.

The three people in the water pavilion had their own thoughts, and Zhu Ran's fingers couldn't stop knocking on the stone table, making a frequent sound. Li Tianxin still frowned, and she pondered the conversations in the General's Mansion again, she always felt that there was something wrong with that Li Hong. Compared to the two, the old madman seemed to be at ease, drinking tea while admiring the scenery around the water pavilion.

"Ziyu is late, please forgive the three of you." With a voice, everyone saw the biggest suspect in the four murders, a big celebrity in the calligraphy and painting world, Ziyu. This person is wearing a water-colored robe, a crown of white jade hair on his head, soft eyebrows, and a face like a peach blossom. His figure is on the thin side, typical of a scholar.

"Painter Ziyu, I believe you also know the reason why we came to you, so please don't hide anything and tell the truth." Zhu Ran's tone already interrogated him as a murderer.

"I wish you, but it doesn't hurt to say it." For Zhu Ran's unfriendliness, Ziyu was not annoyed, but very cooperative.

Zhu Ran called the two scrolls separately and put them in front of Ziyu. He stared intently at the seemingly harmless Ziyu in front of him. "You made these two portraits of young girls?"

"It's exactly what I painted below." Ziyu replied very simply.

After hearing Ziyu's answer, Zhu Ran was excited and nervous at the moment. "Can you confess that you killed Qingqing of the Red Sleeve Workshop, Long Mei of the Long Xiao Martial Arts, Li Manman of the General's Mansion, and the Su Tea painter of your academy?"

After hearing this, Ziyu covered her mouth and chuckled. "Zhu Ye is afraid that he has wronged Ziyu, these two portraits were painted by Ziyu, and Ziyu only knows the three deceased in the murder case."

"Three dead?" Li Tianxin looked at Ziyu, this painter actually laughed after hearing Zhu Ran's question, it can be seen that he is not a simple character, but she can't feel a little demonic spirit from him.

"Not bad. Long Mei of the Longxiao Martial Arts Pavilion can be regarded as my embrace. This little girl likes my paintings very much, and always comes to the academy to make trouble, and she has to make trouble to see me. She was clever and clever, and she always clamored for me to paint a portrait of her, but I couldn't resist her, so I painted this picture for her. Ziyu looked at the three people sitting opposite without squinting. Su Cha is a painter at Zhilan Academy, and we have worked together, so we naturally know each other. As for Li Manman in the General's Mansion, the relationship between me and her was just a simple employment relationship, and she missed her cousin who was fighting in Mobei very much, so she came to the academy to find me and begged me to paint a portrait of her, so that someone could send it to her cousin. She looked pitiful to me, and Ziyu was not a ruthless person, so she painted this portrait for her. ”

"You don't know the Qingqing of the Red Sleeve Workshop?" Zhu Ran didn't expect Ziyu to explain all the relationships so clearly.

"Ziyu went to the Red Sleeves Workshop just to socialize, and the girls there were all things on the scene, and I didn't know each other."

"Is that Ziyu painter familiar with Liu Huishou of the Red Sleeves Workshop?" The old madman put down the teacup in his hand and looked at him with a smile.

Ziyu seemed to hesitate a little and turned to say. "Every time she is socializing, Ziyu often loses her temper because she is not strong enough to drink. Liu Hui will take good care of Ziyu, so he naturally knows. ”

"Since Brother Ziyu and Liu Huishou know each other, how can they not know Qingqing girl? She and Rouge have always been Liu Huishou's right-hand men, you really haven't seen her? Zhu Ran was also suspicious of his words, who doesn't know that Qingqing and Rouge are the two most proud girls of Liu Huishou, and the three of them are basically on the same occasion now.

"Seeing is seeing, it's just a passing relationship, so in Ziyu's opinion, it's not an acquaintance." Ziyu dialed a thousand pounds in four or two, and answered disapprovingly to Zhu Ran and the old madman's questions.

"I heard rumors that Ziyu's painting of a girl is the most expressive and a rare treasure. Can you give some advice on the importance of this painting? The old madman meant something.

"Speaking of which, I'm not afraid that you will look at me strangely." Ziyu paused. "Flesh and blood are Dan, and bones are green."

"You still say they didn't kill you?!" Zhu Ran slapped the table and jumped up directly. "How the hell did you take their blood and bones out and make them into the colors of the paintings?"

Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and then sneered. "Zhu Ye said with a smile, where does Ziyu and a scholar have that ability, I just use the blood and bones of some birds."

"Do you have witnesses?" Zhu Ran didn't believe Ziyu's words at all, if what he said was true, then all the clues would be broken.

"The people in the academy all know, if you don't believe it, you can ask now." Ziyu picked up the cup unhurriedly and took a sip of tea.

"In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." After finishing speaking, Zhu Ran quickly left the water pavilion.

"Painter Ziyu's answer is really leaky, which really makes the channel admire." The old madman looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

"Why did the trail chief say that?" Ziyu is still innocent.

"This bloody thing barely made you perfunctory, so what should you say about the demonic spirit on this painting?" The old madman's mouth grew with a smile on his lips.

"Ziyu knows that he can't hide it from the two Taoist leaders of the Thousand Mountains Sect." Ziyu paused. "It's true that it's not a Terran down there."

"You admit it, but according to your frank behavior, shouldn't I doubt you?" The old madman looked at him with a smile on his cheeks.

"It really has nothing to do with Ziyu."

"It's strange to say, if the murderer is really you, then where did the portrait of the young girl from the Red Sleeves Workshop and the portrait of Su Cha from Zhilan Academy go?"

"So it's just a coincidence."

"Actually, the portrait of the young girl should be in Liu Huishou's place, right?" The old madman looked at Ziyu noncommittally, he was very sure that the reason was that he saw that Liu Huishou and Ziyu had a very close relationship in the remaining fragments of Qingqing's corpse, so Liu Huishou did not inform them about the portrait in order to protect Ziyu. "Anyway, you're also a painting demon who has practiced for thousands of years, why do you want to do these superfluous things? Then Liu Huishou is actually not a human race like you, so he is afraid of being implicated in her if he dissociates himself from the Red Sleeves Workshop? ”

"Where is the portrait of Su Cha?" Ziyu played with the jade pendant in his hand. "It shouldn't be suspicious of Ziyu's body, right? You can send someone to search for you. ”

"Su Cha's cause of death is different from the other three, and you killed her for another purpose."

"Why did Ziyu kill her?"

"Why do you knowingly ask?"

"I didn't expect this little Taoist to see so clearly." Ziyu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth revealed a trace of cold arc. "This matter has nothing to do with anyone else."

"You don't have to, why bother putting yourself in an irreparable situation?"

"I have my own troubles, I hope you stinky Taoist priests don't come to find trouble, otherwise don't blame Ziyu for being unkind!" The murderous intent in Ziyu's eyes gradually appeared, and a strong demonic aura emanated from his body.

Li Tianxin listened to it in a fog, but after feeling the strong demonic aura, the spirit talisman in his sleeve was already in his hand. She didn't understand, if the murderer was really the dignified painter in front of her, then why did he leave such obvious evidence? What exactly is his motive? Is it just for painting?

"Lives are at stake, and we may not be able to sit idly by." The old madman was obviously not deterred by the demonic aura on Ziyu's body, and he said every word unhurriedly.

"Then don't blame Ziyu for being ruthless!" In just an instant, the stone table in front of the three of them was shattered by its sharp palm wind, and the inky mist moved with his right hand in the air, and finally with two fingers, a huge demon beast appeared, squeezing the water pavilion alive, and the dust flew in an instant.

The old madman and Li Tianxin both jumped out of the water pavilion at the first time and landed on the surrounding stone bridge corridor. The spirit rune in Li Tianxin's hand had already turned into a long sword, and this was the first time she had really seen what a big monster was.

"It's not a thousand-year-old painting demon, and the mana is really admirable." The old madman stood with his hands in his hands, and his whole body was surrounded by golden aura.

"Humph! Let's see how long you can get your mouth hard! As soon as Ziyu waved his hand, the demon beast rushed towards the old madman.

Seeing this, Tianxin held a long sword in his hand, and slashed towards the giant demon beast with a cloud step. As soon as the sword body came into contact with the demon beast, it was shocked a few meters away, and Tianxin flipped a few times in the air and landed on a boulder in the water. And the demon beast was unscathed, still running rampantly towards the old madman.

"Old madman! Be careful! Li Tianxin shouted loudly to the old madman standing on the other side.

I saw the old madman with his hands on his chest, and just when the demon beast was close at hand, there was a loud noise, the air flow surged, and the old madman stretched out his palms and directly stopped the demon beast in mid-air. The old madman had white hair and the corners of his clothes fluttering in the wind, and there was a look in his eyebrows and eyes that was not like that of a young man.

Just when Li Tianxin was dumbfounded, the painter had already pounced on Li Tianxin. "This girl is obviously better than you, wait until I kill her, and then I will kill you!"

Li Tianxin was shocked, and hurriedly used his long sword to catch the attack of the painting demon. The two quickly fought together, and with Li Tianxin's cultivation, where was the opponent of this thousand-year-old painting demon, he quickly succumbed to the inferior, and his body was already more or less colorful.

Seeing the smell of blood in the air, the old madman raised his eyebrows and decided not to entangle with this demon beast anymore. With words in his mouth, the aura of his right palm slowly expanded, and then he went up to a higher level, and quickly raised his right hand against his left hand, and in an instant, the golden light overflowed, and one after another spells appeared in the air, and the demon beast immediately let out a huge roar, and finally disappeared in the golden light.

And Li Tianxin's side couldn't resist the fierce attack of the painting demon, so she used cloud steps to dodge left and right, and ran towards the bamboo forest behind the water pavilion, she wanted to delay time and wait for the old madman to come to save her. Just as she was running wildly, suddenly her feet seemed to be restrained by something, and one of her heels fell to the ground, the hairpin on her head slipped off, and her black hair fell apart.

Li Tianxin fell to the ground and endured the pain and looked at her feet, it turned out that at some point, an inky mist had tightly bound her feet together. Just as she wanted to cast a spell to unravel it, a sight full of murderous intent made her shudder, and she looked up to see that the drawing demon Ziyu had already appeared in the original form of the monster, standing not far from her.

"Let me tell you, if you kill me, my master will not let you go!" Li Tianxin slowly moved backwards, all she could do right now was to delay as much time as possible. "I, my master is the head of the Thousand Mountains Sect, Ram Yushu! I'm his only apprentice..."

"If you die, he will soon take others as apprentices, and nothing is unique in this world." Ziyu sneered. "The most ridiculous thing in this world is that I think I am the only one in someone's heart, but they are just passers-by, who cares?!"

"The only one that exists! There will always be a person in this world, you know each other, know each other, stay together, and be the only one for each other! Li Tianxin's eyes were firm. Whoever doesn't value you, let him get out of your life! Why torture yourself with him! ”

Ziyu looked at her clear and determined eyes and said with a wry smile. "You've only lived for a few years, how do you understand that kind of torment and despair?"

"I... It's true that I don't live as long as you, but as long as I live, there will definitely be a turnaround, and there will be another change! ”

"Change, turnaround?" Ziyu lowered his head and muttered to himself, and for a moment he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but just for a moment, he raised his head and revealed a hideous face. "Maybe there will be, but unfortunately you don't have a chance to see it anymore!"

Li Tianxin saw Ziyu with an amazing demonic aura, his hand had already turned into a sharp blade and rushed towards her, she subconsciously closed her eyes, and just at the last moment, a figure wearing a cyan robe appeared in front of her, the golden light and ink collided together, and the huge air flow broke the surrounding bamboo coefficient.

Between the flying sand and rocks, Li Tianxin opened his eyes slightly, only to see that the old madman's figure was gradually growing, and his white hair was slowly turning black. "Is there anything wrong with you?"

She couldn't get it right, it was the voice of the ram feather book!

"Master?!"
