20 Evil things are hidden in the house
The box is not large, the style is unremarkable, and many scratches of different shades can be found on closer inspection.
Meng Nanjun was a little inexplicable when she received it, but when she reached out to open it, she found that the box was not moving, and it was worth probing a little wisp of spiritual power to test and examine the subtleties in it.
However, as soon as that wisp of spiritual power came into contact, it was sucked up by the contents of it, and even the box itself trembled slightly.
Meng Nanjun was shocked, and hurriedly pressed it on the table, throwing an inquiring glance at Liu Yunqi.
Liu Yunqi, who was still a little lucky, drooped slightly, and could no longer deceive himself.
"Two days ago, there was a murder in a pawnshop, and more than a dozen people, including the shopkeeper, died for no reason, do you know about it?" Liu Yunqi asked.
Busy approaching Xu Wanzhou before, Meng Nanjun didn't care about the things next to her at all, and at this time, she could only shake her head when she said this, and then heard her continue: "Before, Zhou Xu invited a friend to his house as a guest, but I didn't see him because of my low interest, but I just listened to some conversations between the two of them outside. ”
Meng Nanjun knew that there must be a reason for her to mention this matter, so she asked, "What did you say?" ”
Liu Yunqi originally wanted to say something, but after a moment's pause with a slight hesitation, she shook her head again.
"It doesn't matter what he said, after all, he is not a young man who has just fallen in love, and I don't understand that I have had affection for the woman next to me before, but it shows that I have a good vision."
Listening to her words to defend Zhou Xu, Meng Nanjun simply laughed angrily, you must know that Liu Yunqi is different from her, whether it is family background or temperament and talent, she is the best, it can be said that even in this imperial capital, there are not many people who can really match her.
Take Qin and Huai, who have been pursuing her in the past two years, although they were born in commoners and have never been officials, they are very much used by the prime minister, and even the prime minister himself said that if he has a heart, there will always be a place for him in the court.
Qin and Huai, who have such an identity, when they talk about their admiration for Liu Yunqi, there are still many people who say that he is high in the Liu family, let alone a person like Zhou Xu who is not of high background and has no ability.
But Liu Yunqi fell out with his family because of him, and now he even endures his disloyalty and unbelief, how can Meng Nanjun not be angry?
Throwing the box aside, Meng Nanjun stepped forward and raised her cheek, forcing her to look at herself, and said in a stern tone: "If you still treat me as a friend, just tell me every word of their conversation, otherwise you and I can't do it." ”
After all, the two have been friends for so many years, and Meng Nanjun is not worried that Liu Yunqi will be angry with her, and even she believes that no matter how partial Liu Yunqi is to Zhou Xu in her heart, with her own words, Liu Yunqi will definitely not hide it more.
And it turns out that Meng Nanjun didn't guess wrong, Liu Yunqi didn't hesitate much, and said the conversation between the two of them word by word, but looking at Meng Nanjun's face, he still couldn't help but defend Zhou Xu: "I don't care what others say, after all, the Liu family has not been said to be unpleasant, as for Zhou Lang...... He just didn't bother to refute it, but he must still care about me in his heart. ”
When she said this, Liu Yunqi didn't even dare to look at her directly, as if she was in a great entanglement.
If it was usual, even if Meng Nanjun didn't scold her, she would have to say a few words to make her sober up a little, but when she thought that she might be so irrational because of Gu poison, she didn't bother to continue to tell her.
It's just that he changed the title of "Zhou Lang" again, which really made Meng Nanjun tired, so he simply pulled back the box with a change of voice.
"What does this box have to do with that day?"
Liu Yunqi was threatened by her for so much, she already knew that she was serious, not to mention that she came here today for this matter, so she made it clear in 1510.
"I didn't know what to think that day, so I asked the guards of the Liu family to follow Zhou Jing, according to the man, Zhou Lang gave Zhou Jing a box, and then happily went to the pawnshop to exchange it for cash. Originally, I didn't think much about it, but when Zhou Lang gave him jade and the like, who expected that the people in the pawnshop would die that night, and Zhou Jing also fell from his horse yesterday and died, and Zhou Lang was also by his side. ”
has said all this, even if Liu Yunqi is blind, he feels that this matter must have nothing to do with Zhou Xu, but everything is pointed at him, and no matter how much he defends, it seems pale and powerless.
After hearing this, Meng Nanjun didn't care about Liu Yunqi's thoughts at all, only nodded at the box that he threw aside, and asked, "This box shouldn't have been taken out of the pawnshop." ”
If Meng Nanjun guessed correctly, Zhou Xu should have filled the box with Gu worms for Zhou Jing, in order to kill Zhou Jing and extinguish his mouth, but Zhou Jing was in a hurry to ask for money, and he didn't look at it on the road to determine that it was a good thing, and he was in a hurry to go to the pawnshop to exchange cash, but it hurt more than a dozen people in the pawnshop.
As for Zhou Jing's fall from the horse, it is estimated that Zhou Xu did not succeed in his plan and then implemented another plan.
"How did you guess?" Liu Yunqi asked.
Meng Nanjun can't say that once the Gu worm is released, it will not come back if there is no knowledgeable person to collect it, no matter how powerful the people over there are, they probably don't have this kind of ability, and this box is obviously not empty, it can't be the one that Zhou Jing got to the pawnshop.
Fortunately, Liu Yunqi didn't keep asking, and when she didn't reply, she said: "I have a lot of this box at home, and I didn't usually care about it, but I didn't become suspicious until today, so I want to bring it to you to show you." ”
If there is one that can still claim to be accidental, then "there are a lot of them in the family", which has to impress Meng Nanjun.
She was really a little curious about why Zhou Xu had such an adventure.
In order to confirm what he was thinking, Meng Nanjun picked up the box again, and a half-real and half-virtual lock could be seen in his right eye, surrounded by a cloud of black gas.
Surrounded three sides with rune paper to suppress the things inside, and then Meng Nanjun took out a trace of spiritual power and leaned into it along the small keyhole, and after a while, he only heard a soft sound of "click", and the lock was separated.
Just by opening a small slit, people can get a glimpse of the dense black larvae inside, and at this time, the wings trembled slightly because of the suppression of the rune paper, as if they were struggling.
The scene before Xu Yan's death resurfaced in front of her eyes, the cannibalized half of her body, densely packed with black Gu worms, was exactly the same as what was contained in the box, which made Meng Nanjun's scalp tingle, and she immediately closed the lid.
Xu Yan is dead, what should be Liu Yunqi's life?
Zhou Xu's plan is probably more than what he is looking for......
didn't have time to think about it, Liu Yunqi, who was originally sitting there, screamed bitterly and called Meng Nanjun's thoughts back, only to see that the blood on the former's face had faded, and his eyebrows were frowning.
"What's wrong?" Meng Nanjun immediately panicked, and hurriedly reached out to check for her.
Who knew that Liu Yunqi just gasped a few times, and then his breath calmed down.
"What's wrong?" Meng Nanjun still asked a little uneasy.
Liu Yunqi shook his head, "I can't say it, I just feel that something is swimming between Fang Cai's flesh and bones, but the stinging pain only returned to normal in an instant, and now I don't feel it at all." As she spoke, she twisted her wrist, and the pain of pins and needles was gone, which made her a little puzzled.
"Maybe it's my delusion." Liu Yunqi said.
Meng Nanjun's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he probably understood.
The Gu worms in this box are sensitive to the energy in Liu Yunqi's body.
"Speaking of which, can you see what's in this box?" Liu Yunqi didn't pay attention to the abnormality of her body, but asked about the box.
But Meng Nanjun, who knew her temper well, didn't dare to say that it was a Gu worm, after all, this kind of thing was really unfamiliar to Liu Yunqi, and it was estimated that she had never even seen it in the script.
"It's just a few flavors of medicinal herbs, and it is estimated that they are also commonly available at home, so you don't have to worry too much, just let him figure it out by himself." Meng Nanjun pretended to laugh lightly, and finally reminded her, "But the medicinal herbs can go wrong if you have more or less, so don't move around, so as not to worry about it." ”
Even on a rainy day in late spring, her hair dried out quickly, Liu Yunqi's body was a lot warmer, and she was in a much better mood, so she asked where Meng Nanjun had gone in the past two days.
Meng Nanjun couldn't say that he had recuperated from his injury, let alone make an excuse to say it again, so he had to say half-truthfully: "I found a female ghost some time ago, so I chased it tighter, but I didn't expect to run away at night, so I could only find a place to rest for the time being." I'm not afraid that my mother will punish me if she finds out, so I let Lishu come back first, and casually cover up the past. ”
Liu Yunqi was skeptical about this, but she didn't ask more, only asked her to be careful, and not to endanger herself.
Meng Nanjun responded with a mouthful of words, and finally revealed these two things.
"Why didn't Miss Liu explain to her?" After Liu Yunqi left, Lishu asked a little puzzled.
Meng Nanjun played with the box that was shocked by the rune paper and didn't dare to tremble anymore, her expression was a little cold, "I told her, she must question Zhou Xu, if Zhou Xu jumps off the wall in a hurry, she can only be injured, it is better to stabilize the two of them first, and Zhou Xu has to cling to the Liu family to show his so-called ambitions, and he doesn't dare to provoke easily." ”
"But wouldn't it be safer if Miss explained the matter to Miss Liu and let Miss Liu be on guard? Besides, Miss and Miss Liu have a close relationship, and the love that they have grown up together since childhood is not as good as a person who has known each other for half a year. ”
Meng Nanjun shook her head helplessly when she heard this, "You have also seen it in the past six months, but if I talk about Zhou Xu, although she will not be really angry with me, she will definitely refute two sentences." ”
Speaking of this, the corners of Meng Nanjun's lips were slightly hooked, "She is blinded now, I can't touch her Zhou Lang, but when the Gu poison is cleared, I don't believe that she can still go to such a wreckage who only knows the left and right ways of the side." ”
