Yan Yan finally left, and the colleagues of the Hongwen Pavilion did not stop me for the sake of my face.

I know that I owe them this matter, and I can only promise them that I will give an explanation in the future.

Due to an accident in the Hongwen Pavilion, when I finished the affairs in the hall and rushed to the ferry on the outskirts of the city, it was already past the agreed time, and the young man was no longer there.

A lantern fell to the ground and was mostly burned.

Looking at the flickering fire still burning on the lantern bamboo strips, I was in a trance, he had come to make an appointment, but I broke my promise.

After searching along the riverbank for a long time, there was no trace of the young man, so in desperation, he could only turn back and ask the senior brother and the people of the Lin family to pay more attention to his news.

The slaughter of the Hongwen Pavilion caused an uproar in Beijing, and now that Lord Xue is not there, the affairs in the hall are fully entrusted to me, and many ministers who are not used to us on weekdays will naturally not let go of this opportunity, especially the Ruiwang faction, who even played the impeachment of the name, and wanted to deal with me for the crime, and even forced Xiao Zhuo to close the Hongwen Pavilion on the grounds that we can't even protect ourselves.

In the end, Xiao Zhuo tried his best to suppress the matter, but as the responsible official of the Red News Pavilion, I definitely can't escape the crime of negligence.

After reporting to Xiao Zhuo and handing over the case to the people from the Criminal Department, I returned to the Hongwen Pavilion and looked through the books I had read a few days ago.

Lin Suwen walked in and saw that I had made a mess of the bookcase again, and really showed a displeased expression.

I was afraid that he would be angry, so I hurriedly said, "When I finish reading these books, I will clean them all up." ”

He walked over, took one of the books in his hand, and looked at me for a moment when he saw that I was still investigating the matter of the Oath of the Spirit.

I said: "Do you feel strange about this, those who have died, why do those who have advanced cultivation seem to be more likely to be killed, but those ordinary people who have never practiced have traces of struggle on their bodies, if the murderer uses it is really an oath of words and spirits, then what are the characteristics of this kind of technique?" ”

He didn't answer, and I continued: "This reminds me of some things, the first thing, when I was in the master's gate, the master wanted to kill me, and the junior sister suddenly appeared behind him, at that time, I obviously felt that the master's movements stagnated, and because of this, I was lucky to save my life, the second thing is that when we were in Ganzhou, we investigated the case of the magic knife, and the senior sister thought that the senior brother was killed by a ghost, and he started with the senior brother out of control, at that time, I also felt that my actions were controlled, but the senior brother and Chen Yu were fine. ”

After glancing at him, he fell into deep thought, and suddenly thought of something, picked up the ink pen and wrote the names of me and my master on the paper, and then listed the names of Chen Yu and his senior brother as well: "There is only one difference between the murdered adults and those slaves, and there is also a difference between me and Chen Yu and senior brother. ”

Under my and Master's names, a circle was drawn, and below Senior Brother Chen Yu and those slaves, it was marked with a tick, Lin Suwen glanced at it, and also thought of the key: "Warlock? ”

I nodded, and continued: "That day in that cave, my soul curse attacked, my body could not move, and I thought that the stiffness of my movements at that time was because of the soul curse, but now it seems that I was sworn by the spirit at that time, and when the master wanted to kill me, the reason why I was slow was also because of this technique, so that we can explain why the senior sister was not noticed by me and the master when she walked into the cave, and the injuries on the bodies of those dead warlocks and slaves were once again demonstrated, and the oath of words and spirits is only useful for practicing warlocks, For ordinary people who have not practiced, it is useless. ”

"Also, Miss Yuqing also knows about the oath of words and spirits, at that time I first suspected that my sister would use this kind of technique, and when I secretly investigated, she saw it, and she was still holding my book to ask at that time, so when my sister was attacking them, Miss Yuqing must have also discovered this secret, so she deliberately delayed time, disrupted the things in the room, and left clues to remind us to pay attention."

According to the book, those who have practiced the oath of words and spirits will not be able to practice other spells.

This is the prohibition of the spirit of speech on the practitioner.

I used to have doubts that if the Spirit Oath could really control the actions of others, even with this kind of prohibition, it would not be a big deal, after all, once the practice was successful, it would be invincible in the world.

However, all things are born and mutually restrained, and any kind of magic has its own shortcomings and strengths, and it will not make any kind of magic above all living beings and become an invincible existence.

Therefore, the oath of words and spirits, there must be other prohibitions-

This kind of spell is only useful for warlocks, not for ordinary people.

Moreover, those who have practiced the oath of words and spirits, in addition to not being able to practice other techniques, will also be blocked by the six veins, even if they learn the martial arts of ordinary people, it will be difficult to be effective.

Therefore, even if someone learns and kills all the warlocks in the world with the oath of words and spirits, they will be easily killed by people who have not practiced, and I think this is also the reason why the words and spirits magic eventually declined.

There are thousands of ordinary people in the world, but there are very few warlocks who practice, who is willing to give up thousands of spells and only practice this one, and can only deal with this small number of people?

In this way, everything can be explained, but what makes me wonder is where did the junior sister learn the techniques that even the master doesn't know?

Lin Suwen asked, "What are your plans?" ”

The warlock of the Red Smell Pavilion was killed, and this matter must be explained anyway, but how to explain it......

Do you want to hand over your junior sister?

I was a little embarrassed, firstly, because of my junior sister's careless life, and secondly, it was difficult to give up on her after all.

Why did she kill someone, why did she do it to Xie Yuqing, think about it, it's still for me, whether it's the warlock of the Hongwen Pavilion, or those maids and slaves, it's just that she is innocently implicated.

I thought for a moment: "Wait first, don't startle the snake." ”

Facing Lin Suwen's puzzled gaze, I explained: "This kind of technique was not learned by her from the master, at least it shows that behind the junior sister, there must be other people, and besides, I thought of one thing, when the junior sister first came to Shengjing, she said that she liked Lu Weilou, but my senior brother and I found Lu Weilou, but there were many inconsistencies between the two of them. ”

The younger sister said that when she was hunting in the mountains, she was accidentally injured by a poisonous snake, and it was Lu Weilou who rescued her and helped her suck out the poisonous blood.

But in Lu Weilou, he said that he met his junior sister on the street, and the reason why he saved his junior sister was that she injured her foot.

Later, although my brother and I reminded me, he still said something wrong, according to my sister, she was hunting in the mountains instead of picking flowers.

Therefore, Senior Sister and Lu Weilou have known each other for a long time, but the encounter between them is not like this.

Lin Suwen frowned and said, "You doubt ......"

I put down the things in my hand, walked around the bookcase and walked to him, and said: "If Senior Sister and Lu Weilou really met not long after I came to Shengjing, the time was only a few months apart, no matter how confused Lu Weilou was, he would not remember these things wrongly, the only explanation is that he was echoing Senior Sister and helping her cover up. ”

"On that day, I said that I wanted to go to southern Xinjiang with Yan Yan, and my sister was in a hurry, saying that Lu Weilou thought of the location of Lumei Villa, and then we found Lu Weilou, and he also said that it was true, but under normal circumstances, Lumei Villa was related to the massacre of their division, if he really thought of the clues of the villa, he would definitely be in a hurry to come to us for discussion, but his actions at that time gave people the feeling that they were passive, as if they were not so eager to find Lumei Villa, and they didn't want us to solve the matter of the destruction of Xifeng Valley."

Lin Suwen asked, "Does this matter need to be investigated by the Lin family?" ”

"Not yet."

I sighed: "Although the assassin is dead, the affairs of the Suhe Lan clan are not over yet, and no one knows how far they have developed now, so your family should keep an eye on the affairs of the Lan clan first." ”

Lin Su snorted when he heard this, and said, "You have to be careful." ”

I smiled abruptly and said, "Our senior brother and sister have been together for 20 years, and we have always had a deep relationship, not brother and sister, better than brother and sister, are you still afraid that she will kill me?" It's ...... you."

"Now that I know that the oath of words and spirits is only useful for warlocks, and even I can't escape the spell, you must be careful when you see her in the future, senior sister now...... It's getting less and less like her. ”

I used to think that my sister was just a little arrogant and willful, but she was still good in nature, she cared about me, she cared about my brother, and even had nostalgia for the master who was killed by her own hands.

The years in the mountains, carefree, we eat together, practice together, whether it is hunting in the mountains, or hide and seek, the mountains are full of her laughter, in those times together, she let me see an innocent, straightforward her, so I never thought that one day, she would kill someone.

I only feel fear and anger now, who is she, and what is the purpose of visiting the master to approach us?

A person who has lived in a mask for twenty years, blending into our bits and pieces, which one is disguised and which one is real?

To be honest, before she disguised herself as a man in black to assassinate Yan Yan, I can still think that she was angry and prejudiced against Yan Yan, so she would do such a wrong thing, but now...... She killed people, killed more than a dozen people, and had so many innocent people's blood on her hands, but she was not afraid, she was not weak-hearted, she was calm enough to remember to throw the golden hairpin to blame Yan Yan, and she could still design a coincidental encounter with me and Lin Suwen.

It's really chilling.

For a while, I didn't know how to face her and how to get along with her in the future.

"Do you need to explain this matter to Brother Fu?"

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Don't use it yet." ”

"The less people know about this matter, the better, besides, the senior brother and the junior sister have a close relationship, he has just experienced the master's matter, if he learns that the junior sister has an accident, it may be difficult to accept it for a while, the oath of words and spirits can't help him, he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being."
