Chapter 2 I'll go home with you

Yuan Jiyue has always had a black jade flute tied around her waist. This flute is pitch black and shiny, and it is already psychic, and it is a good baby. The sound played with it is crisp and ethereal, without a trace of noise, and it can disturb people's minds when used in a fight, as long as the mana of the person used is strong enough, it can even shatter the enemy's meridian inner pill, and waste the mana of the person.

It's a pity she won't use it.

Break down the past 100 years, she spent half of her time in Wangshu Sect to practice, filial piety to her master, and used other time to travel all over the world, relying on a powerful master to go up and down all over the six realms of feng shui treasures, not less to see the customs of the world, Yangzhou Liangzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou, Qixi Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Lantern Festival, this uncle just out of the pot and steaming cloud cake, the old sweet wine brewed by the lady is all belly, love to enjoy the flowers, taste the wine and see the scenery, but also love to appreciate the beauty, but she just doesn't know anything about music!

No matter how good the song sounded to her, it sounded like sawn wood. The Dandan girl in the Yangzhou piano building, who doesn't know that her piano skills are first-class and her personality is also gentle, which can be described as a song that is hard to find. It's easy to see that Yuan Jiyue is graceful, thinking that it is a Bole, please go upstairs and play for a while, so angry that she threw the piano in Yuan Jiyue's face, pointing at her nose and letting her go!

Tsk tsk.

I can't listen to it, let alone let her blow it herself.

Such a good magic weapon has always been used as a weapon by her. I didn't take a name seriously, saying that since it is a flute, it is called a flute.

It's a waste.

One thing that is better than the sword is that the flute is printed with the word "Yuan" with spiritual power, and once there are demons and monsters nearby, it will be hot and flooded, reminding Yuan Jiyue.

Along the way, the master didn't wait for her to ask, and took the initiative to tell her about the disciple: "His name is Dong Manman, he was sent by his eldest brother at the age of five, and he has studied in our White Tiger Hall for seven years. ”

This disciple is usually quiet and obedient, not afraid of heat or cold, has not had an excuse to skip training in the past seven years, and has never gone out to play with the leather monkeys in the courtyard, and has never caused trouble, which impressed him very deeply and made him very pleased.

The more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand: "He is in our hall on weekdays, and he only goes home for a few days during the New Year's holidays, what can he know about such an honest child?" ”

Yuan Jiyue's attention was not in his words, she kept looking at her flute.

The flute was glowing, floating up and pointing to a room.

T-shaped room six.

It was quiet in the room.

"If I knew, I wouldn't have asked him." Yuan Jiyue untied the flute from her waist, held it in her hand, and slowly walked forward. They were now close to the house, and with two more steps, they could reach out and push the door open.

She told the master: "Don't move. ”

"This..." Her posture made the master realize something, and his eyes swirled back and forth, not daring to speak more.

Everyone gathered in the front hall, and at this moment the two of them stood in the courtyard, the sound of breathing was clearly audible, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

What's hidden inside, is it a monster running around?

I don't think it's possible.

Forget it, if it can be found so easily, it seems that her little nephew has been busy for so long and it is too useless. It's not going to be that simple.

But whether it is or not, it shouldn't be here.

"Boom!"

"Ahh

Simply push the door open.

A childish cry rang out.

The room was not big, and Yuan Jiyue glanced at it quickly.

The Chase that can accommodate five people is spread on the side by the window, and the table of eight immortals and two chairs are on the right, and the table is clean and clean, except for a set of tea sets.

The futon was neatly folded on the Chase bed, and there was a person lying on the quilt.

It was a little doll, and he was at a loss to grasp a patina robe, which had been standing on the bed, but was frightened by the sudden intruder, and sat down on the hemp mourning clothes that he had just taken off. Stared at Yuan Jiyue in confusion, and opened her mouth in surprise.

Who are you?

He wanted to ask.

He was the only one in the room, and nothing else could be fine, the flute had returned to normal, and Yuan Jiyue knew it in his heart at the moment. She called the master from outside in.

The master came in to see the situation clearly, and hurriedly put the lantern with the lighting on the table, went over and sat on the bed, helped him put his clothes on, and muttered: "Didn't you say that you should come back and sleep, why are you still awake for half a day?" He said to Yuan Jiyue again, "This is Dong Manman." ”

Dong Manman came back to his senses, hurriedly put his arm into his sleeve, and put on his robe to cover the white middle coat.

The master reached out and stroked his collar, patted his back and said, "Don't sleep first, it's full, go and meet the Yuan Immortal Master." ”

"I've seen the Immortal Master!" Dong Manman jumped out of bed with his legs kicked, and stood up in front of Yuan Jiyue, looking like a little adult, and he bowed his hands at her in a proper manner.

He is not tall, only up to Yuan Jiyue's knees, and he has to look up to see her. Because he had been disheveled in front of strangers just now, his white cheeks were flushed, and his frightened eyes were round and swollen like walnuts.

Yuan Jiyue looked at him as soon as she lowered her head.

As a monster, there was a righteousness between his eyebrows, there was no trace of blood on his body, and his eyes were clear and clean. Although it's a monster, it can be seen that it's a little monster who has not been deeply involved in the world and has not harmed people. After being able to stay in the White Tiger Hall for seven years, he has learned the rules of human beings well, just like the master said, you can tell what kind of character he has at a glance.

It should have been an opportunity that made him.

She is not like some monks who beat monsters to death.

Dong Manman is so well-behaved, she should be a normal child to get along with. It doesn't have to be complicated.

"Did you scare the little boy just now?" She squatted down and kept Dong Manman at the same height, and at a glance saw the training uniform of the White Tiger Hall he was wearing, with a yawning tiger cub painted on it, and his delicate appearance was quite similar to Dong Manman.

It's not been peaceful lately, and I was a little scared when someone suddenly pushed the door at night. Dong Manman glanced at her cautiously and said honestly: "A little bit, I thought there were bad people." ”

"How can the immortal master be a bad person, she is here to help catch the bad guys." The master looked at them silently for a while, and then squatted down with difficulty, but his bones were hard, so he simply sat on the ground, "The immortal master came to ask you a few words this time, you just have to tell the truth." ”

"I'm not afraid." Yuan Jiyue coaxed him with a smile and asked straight to the point, "Tell me, did a middle-aged man come to you a few days ago and ask you some questions like me?" ”

Dong Manman glanced at the master, thought about it after the master nodded, and shook his head without hesitation.

"None? It was seven days ago. "I originally wanted to talk about the night when Master Chen was killed, but I changed my words.

"I have always practiced martial arts with my brothers and sisters, and after practicing martial arts, I read in the house, and I went to sleep after reading, and no one came to me and asked me any questions." Dong Manman was a little clear, the word seven days reminded him of his second master, and a stranger who was discovered with the second master, the people in the hall have been discussing them recently, and they don't understand what the high priest came to the White Tiger Hall to do that night. The flush on his face faded, his voice softened, and he asked tentatively, "Immortal Master asked, is it... High priest? Did he come to me that night? ”

"yes." Yuan Jiyue stared at him for a while, observed his expression, saw that he was not lying, and sighed, "Now it seems that he has never had a chance to meet you at all." ”

Isn't that the clue broken? Let her come for nothing.

There's no clue here, where else can she look?

She pulled a piece of paper out of her bosom and unfolded it.

It contains the information of all the victims of the case, and the only case handling note left by Priest Chen.

On 16 July, the victims were two watchmen.

July 21, the eldest lady of the Mei family in the east of the city.

On July 22, the owner of the rice shop in the south of the city.

On the second day of August, the owner of the Chengnan Post Station.

August 12, the son of Chengnan Qinfang.

At the bottom, a Dong character was written, which was circled with a red pen.

No matter how much she looked at it, she couldn't see the problem in a single word.

"Immortal Master."

"Huh?"

"There is something I dare not say, I am afraid that I will think too much, delay the time of the immortal master, and I am afraid that I will delay the immortal master if I don't say it." Dong Manman hesitated and said, "Yesterday I came to my house to deliver a message, and someone saw a stranger in the middle of the night, who was very close to my eldest brother's room, and he didn't answer when he asked who it was, and it was gone in the blink of an eye. They were scared and told me to go home and see. I don't know if it's related. ”

Yuan Jiyue vaguely caught something, and asked abruptly: "Is your home also in the south of the city?" ”

Dong Manman responded.

Yuan Jiyue's fingers swiped across the paper, starting from July 22, the time of the murder began to be regular, every ten days, each victim was fixed in the south of the city, and the Dong family was also in the south of the city, if Priest Chen somehow deduced the next victim.

But if he knew that Dong Manman's eldest brother was being targeted, why didn't he go directly to his eldest brother, but came to Dong Manman?

On the second day of September, will it be Brother Dong's death?

"The master is very sad and busy, I have already taken leave with the third master, and when the second master is out of the funeral, I will leave."

"Nonsense!" The master said solemnly, "If it is... What's the use of you going back! You will be a martial artist and no match for monsters! Go outside and see your second master! ”

"Full of knowing." Dong Manman comforted seriously, "It's okay, there is a master living in the No. 8 courtyard of Tonglu Lane, my eldest brother has invited him to watch feng shui before, and Manman plans to invite the master to go home together." ”

Yuan Jiyue's mind was still turning, and when she heard them mention the places they had an impression, she blurted out: "When I came, I passed by, No. 8 Tonglu Lane, and there was a wooden sign hanging on the door that was temporarily unconcerned, and there was no one living inside." ”

Dong Manman let out an "ah", and pulled his right hand with his left hand.

"Little boy, why don't I go home with you." Yuan Jiyue turned the paper over so that he could also see it, "In terms of mana, I won't necessarily be worse than that master. Reasonable, this case is now being investigated by me, and I can't let go of any clues, if it is true, I can catch the real murderer and protect your eldest brother. ”

She couldn't figure out the problem, so she could only put it aside for the time being, and go to Dong's house to investigate first.

She had no choice.
