No matter what, Uncle Li and the others finally made some gains, and then, they searched all the three courtyards of the Lu Mansion, of course, they found nothing.

Because he knew that this was the place where Liu Ruoxue once lived, Wei Ergou had a whim, looked at Liu Ruoxue and said with a smile: "Sister paper, why don't you call out those wood demons of yours and ask what's going on?" ”

Liu Ruoxue smiled sadly and said: "Don't say it again, as soon as I entered here, I felt that those wood demons had been slaughtered, and I also wanted to know who was the murderer." ”

Listening to Liu Ruoxue's words, Yang Yi's heart moved, and he pushed open the corner door that led to the back garden where Lu Ling'er once lived, and the peach trees that had been sparse inside were indeed burned, and the stumps of those crooked peach trees were bent and twisted, looking like the limbs of a dead corpse pointing to the sky and screaming silently, revealing inexplicable weirdness and fear.

Approaching those peach trees, he found that the branches of those peach trees were not ordinary charcoal-like, but had become an agate-like texture, reaching out to touch them, warm as jade, which reminded Yang Yi of the evil Linglong Yan.

"Although these wood demons have not yet cultivated to the level where they can transform into human forms like me, they also have the essence of the sun and moon accumulated in their bodies for one or two hundred years, they are actually killed by people with spells, so they become like jade, this is the state of the demon after death, it is very beautiful, right?" Behind him, Liu Ruoxue's poignant and powerless voice came, faint, like a wisp of aftersound floating from a distant place.

Wei Ergou gently held Liu Ruoxue in his arms, pressed against Wei Ergou's chest, and the crystal tears rolled down from Liu Ruoxue's cheeks, fell to the ground, and bloomed into countless heartbroken jade shavings, and every little jade shaving reflected the image of a sad and weeping beauty.

Looking at Yang Yi and Liu Ruoxue, who had their own sad things, Li Shu'er sighed heavily, and suddenly had an impulse to tell them that in fact, cultivators should stay away from all things related to love words, but they endured it and endured it, or swallowed everything into their stomachs, he couldn't bear to destroy the beautiful things in their hearts - ups and downs in this world full of cruelty, ugliness, and injustice, sometimes, he really needs to anesthetize himself with some illusory beauty, Although those good things are always so fragile and short-lived, as long as there is hope, humanity will have a future!

Thinking of this, Uncle Li sighed lightly, adjusted his mood, looked at them and said, "What, let's find a clean place to write and rest, and by the way, we will take a look at these things we have encountered recently, and see what ......we can find."

"Gaha doesn't go back to the inn and says, it's cold here, and my chin is frozen......" Wei Ergou grinned and rubbed his hands, looking a little unhappy with the biting cold wind.

"Aren't you from the Northeast, why are you so frost-resistant and despise you!" Seeing that Wei Ergou couldn't help but freeze, Yang Yi couldn't help but look at him and said.

"You are an overseas Chinese who mixes with Nanyang, you know a hairy, although our pimple is cold in winter, but there is heating in our house, it is always hot, how can you have suffered this sin, sizzle, it's so cold, it's a lie!" Wei Ergou looked at Yang Yi and replied with a look of contempt and disdain.

Listening to Wei Ergou's words, suddenly, Yang Yi's lovesickness was aroused, and it has been more than two months since he was inexplicably transported to the Qing Dynasty, presumably his father and mother had already cried in tears, thinking that they had abandoned their bodies in the wilderness after being killed by criminals, and those good buddies and good comrades-in-arms of their police force who were born and died must have included themselves in the list of martyrs, waiting for the day when an nameless dry bone will be found, and a DNA test will confirm that it is him.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi's nose was sour, but when he thought of Lu Ling'er, who lost his relatives overnight and is still missing, he could only force himself to hold back his heart-piercing homesickness, and mobilize all his brain cells to think about all this at the moment, after all, in this combination led by Uncle Li, who has more advantages than himself to investigate and solve the case?

At this time, I heard Uncle Li look at Wei Ergou and say, "Go back to the inn, how do you know that you don't have ears on the wall?" Besides, the store is so reliable, let me tell you, in this troubled world, it's too cheap to buy someone, remember? ”

Looking at Uncle Li, who had a serious face and no joke at all, Yang Yi, Wei Ergou, and Liu Ruoxue couldn't help but nodded, realizing that Uncle Li was vaguely reminding them that Cangzhou City was not a peaceful scene of singing and dancing, but a murderous and frightening situation everywhere, and in the dark corners that they couldn't see, there might be countless poisonous arrows and cold guns waiting for the opportunity to shoot at them.

Raising land, Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue all felt a chill that penetrated their bones, so cold that they couldn't help but shiver, trying to drive away the source of cold in their hearts - fear, a fear that their future was difficult to control.

Subsequently, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou found a bucket room that looked like it had walls on all sides and most of the rubble on the roof, and found ready-made wood to light a fire, and the house became warm.

Li Shu'er and Liu Ruoxue roasted around the fire, and began to study whether there was a connection and inherent inevitability between these series of things.

Seeing that Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue all looked at him, Uncle Li cleared his throat and said: "What, you see, originally our master came back to find Lu Jingtian to find out why he hid the fact that there was an ancient tomb and a snake demon from us, and why he wanted to use the flesh and blood of his subordinates to worship the snake demon privately, but he died and was destroyed, and then, whether it was Cao Tong, the store of the Xishen Inn, or the wizard of the Rakshasa country and other left-handed warlocks, it was bright and dark, It's all related to this Cangzhou City and a cult organization called Mi He Sect, and the peach girl also said that when she saw that the wizard of the Rakshasa Kingdom had arrived in Cangzhou City, what was her intention? ”

Uncle Li took a breath, looked at Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue, who were looking at him intently, and wanted to squeeze out a smile, but after trying, he didn't succeed, so he sighed and continued: "So, in this Cangzhou City, there must be a point that can solve all these puzzles, as long as this point is found, maybe all our doubts will be answered, what do you think?" ”

Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue all nodded, and they were deeply convinced of Uncle Li's analysis, Wei Ergou couldn't pretend to be in his heart, and asked first: "Uncle, is this point you are talking about a person, a thing, or something, can you give me some hints?" ”

"If I knew, would I fucking sit here drinking the northwest wind and study a hammer?" Uncle Li looked at Wei Ergou who was intermittently natural, and couldn't help but burst into foul mouth, aggrieved, really aggrieved.

"Don't you have a lot of experience, you have a little bit of experience, how can you figure out something from it, otherwise, you are too wasteful, hehe" Wei Ergou didn't save face for Uncle Li at all, and chased and beat Uncle Li relentlessly.

"It's a waste of fame, and it's really cowardly if you don't study, virtuous." Liu Ruoxue glanced at Wei Ergou, answered, and then had the effect of making up for the knife perfectly, so angry that Uncle Li blinked his little eyes, but he was speechless.

After a while, Uncle Li's anger calmed down, and then said: "Uncle Er's other words are not good, but I always feel that all this is inseparable from that Shen Ruchao, you think about it, although the soldiers in Cangzhou City are the garrison Captain Decheng, but that Wei Decheng is Shen Ruchao's protégé, and he has nothing to do with Shen Ruchao, so who is the biggest in this Cangzhou City, naturally it is none other than Shen Ruchao, then, whether it is black or white, if you want to gain a foothold in Cangzhou City, you have to get Shen Ruchao's approval, Regardless of whether this kind of approval is an official document or a tacit contract that cannot be put on the table, in short, it is necessary for Shen Ruchao to nod, and it can be inferred from this that we can think that we can get the key to decryption from Shen Ruchao, eh? ”

When Li Shu'er said this, he obviously put Shen Ruchao in the position of the sect leader who overrides the black and white realms, and according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, officials who fornicate with gangs in the rivers and lakes and conspire against each other will be subject to capital punishment, so if Shen Ruchao is really like Li Shu'er said, he is willing to risk this great relationship of destroying the nine clans, what is his purpose, is it to be called the king and the emperor?

Yang Yi expressed the doubts in his heart to Uncle Li, it boiled down to one sentence, or the old question, that is, the word motive, what is Shen Ruchao's motive for doing this, it is not because of interest, I haven't heard of anyone who takes off his head and other hobbies to cultivate his temperament, unless his head is kicked by a camel.

For Yang Yi's words, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue also expressed their praise, feeling that Shen Ruchao was already a noble minister to Zhizhou, and if it was to pursue glory and wealth, he would never put his net worth and life on the line, so there was a big loophole in Li Shu'er's inference.

Seeing that Yang Yi and the others had raised objections to their inferences, Uncle Li smiled disapprovingly, and said slowly: "In this world, many things that look counterintuitive are actually the truth, besides, do you really understand the psychology of a scholar like Shen Ruchao, eh?" ”

Li Shu'er looked at Yang Yi, Wei Ergou and Liu Ruoxue, smiled narrowly, and said: "Like them, who rely on the imperial examination to enter the officialdom, what they value most is not fame and fortune, but their reputation after death, and even how the world will look at them five hundred years later. Today, this kind of style has become a perverted pursuit of scholars, just as contemptible as they like the deformed three-inch golden lotus of women. ”
