Chapter 229: Po City Lord
Xuanyuan Chen didn't answer, just sat down and said slowly, "Do you see that there is something wrong with the woman just now?" ”
I nodded, thought about it before, and finally analyzed, "Her body is blue, and she seems to have been poisoned. ”
"Nope." He shook his head, "The body is blue, it doesn't have to be all poisoned, it may also be ...... Blood exhaustion in the body. ”5
I thought about it carefully, the woman's face was full of wounds, but the wounds didn't bleed much, I thought that maybe the weather was too cold, the blood coagulated, and after he reminded me, I really felt that it was wrong.
If she had been poisoned, the blood on her face would have turned black, but there was no ......
Blood Exhaustion......
Will it be bloody? Could it be that the thief left a visible wound on her face to cover something......
Xuanyuan Chen glanced at me and said, "When you asked about Gyro Gu and Xuan Xuan before, you only thought that you had a temporary idea, and you didn't pay much attention to it. But when I saw the woman's death just now, I felt that it was very wrong, and if these things were linked together, the problem could not be clarified in one or two sentences, let's start with the gyro Gu. ”
"Qianshan, is a hundred years of Zongshan, in the period of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it is very prosperous, its Zongshan disciples, up to 10,000 people, can be described as the world. That Gyro Gu is the treasure of the Sect Master of the Thousand Mountains for one term, and it has always been enshrined in the ancestral hall, guarding and worshipping it day and night.
Although this thing is a treasure, according to legend, there are hidden rules, among the thousands of mountains, only the head of the sect can control it, and others are not allowed to touch half of it.
But where there are rules, there are people who break them. A disciple in charge of Qianshan learned some methods of controlling the gyro Gu out of nowhere, so he took the opportunity to go down the mountain to procure, found a clever master, and made a Gu that was enough to make a fake Gu, and then secretly placed the fake one in the ancestral hall. ”
"And then what?" I was very interested in these secrets, and I couldn't help but ask.
Xuanyuan Chen replied to me with a smile, "Then, he naturally found a place to practice secretly." However, after all, he had only learned part of the Gu control method, and he was fine at first, but then he walked back into the demon, the veins of his whole body were reversed, and his eyes changed from black to red. ”
"On the side of the ancestral hall, I also found that the Gu had been replaced, and after careful investigation, I naturally found him. Qianshan is a big faction, the mountain rules are very strict, stealing the treasures of Zhenshan is a big crime, it should be broken hand and foot tendons, abolish martial arts, and expel from the mountain gate.
That person was the most proud disciple under the seat of the sect master, and he was usually very loving, but the sect master was a little soft-hearted, and he didn't break his tendons after all, which really wasted his martial arts. ”
And then...... "He spoke slowly, but I listened very energetically." Then, is that person unwilling and has made any big moves?
Xuanyuan Chen nodded, "You guessed right, that person had already gone mad by practicing the Gyro Gu before, so he took advantage of the weakness of the meridian reversal to regulate the breath and protect the dantian qi sea, and did not really abolish his martial arts." After resting at the bottom of the mountain for a while, he remixed into the mountain and stole the Gyro Gu again. ”
"This time, he came with hatred, and after stealing the Gu, he hid, and after months of hard training, the Persistent Gu returned to the Thousand Mountains ......"
I almost caught the road before, so naturally it is clear that if this thing is controlled, I'm afraid, the scene is uncontrollable......
The scene was quite uncontrollable, and after the disciples in the mountains heard the sound of the Gu, they were all half crazy, confused, chasing and biting each other. It was a catastrophe that a thousand mountains could wipe out the sect. If it weren't for that, that person would have harnessed the Gu too much and died violently, I'm afraid that there would be no Qianshan vein now........."
It sounded quite scary, but after listening to it, I was a little confused.
Qianshan's old family background sounds quite violent, but what does it have to do with the proprietress who died today......
"It matters." Xuanyuan Chen picked up his fingers, poured two glasses of water, gave me one, and drank one himself.
He continued, "After that catastrophe, the Thousand Mountains Sect failed. The old sect master blamed himself for his indecision at the beginning, and all the disciples in the Mamen were killed, and since then he has sealed the gyroscopic Gu and hid it in the secret pavilion of the back mountain organ. Who knows, but I accidentally discovered that there is an extremely deep dark hole in the back mountain........."
"When you go to the mouth of the cave, you will have the stench of decay. Discover the ...... In the cave were nearly 100 women's bones, all of whom died of blood exhaustion in their bodies......"
Nearly 100 corpses, all of them were blood-exhausted...... Don't......
I was a little shocked, Xuanyuan Chen nodded, "Qianshan blocked the news, and it is unknown why this is so." There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that it is said that the Gu needs blood to be activated, and it is also said that the gyro Gu needs to use blood.
However, the most popular thing is that his method of urging Gu is incomplete, and after a long period of practice, he has gone mad and fallen into demons, and he needs to drink new blood every day, otherwise he will die of exhaustion of his skin. ”
The body is depleted......
The more I thought about the thief's wrinkled face and red lips, the more I thought about it, the more terrified I became.
Blood, bells......
If the bell in his hand is the Thousand Mountains Forbidden Gyro Gu, everything will be explained, and that face, Xu is not easy to face, but ......
If you think so, it makes sense that this thief dares to come out and take risks in the daytime.
What a bastard, for his own sake, he actually mutilate the lives of so many innocent women, so vicious, so cruel, it's really an exaggeration!! ”
I sighed, picked up the white porcelain blue and white cup, and drank the water in one gulp.
Thinking about it, but I still have some doubts in my heart, about the inn to Banniang, and about the flower thief I met yesterday.
"I'd like to check it out." It's a speculation, but I'd like to confirm it.
Xuanyuan Chen smiled slightly, turned around and went out, and after a while, he came back with two sets of night walks. I took my hair apart, covered it with a black hat, and changed my skirt and put it on.
This kung fu, the sky is already dark, and Xuanyuan Chen has already changed into a strong outfit. He took out the map he had prepared and studied it, blew out the candle, and with a slight leap, he jumped onto the roof.
The two of us went back to the direction of the inn first, where there had already been a mourning shed, and there was indeed no coffin, so the two of us were interested in the direction of the yamen. The guards here are not very tight, and after easily evading the guards, they go to the backyard to work in the house.
It was already unitary, there was only one guard in the backyard, it was cold, and there was no one around, so he kept walking back and forth, Xuanyuan Chen picked up a tile, and when he turned around, he flew with all his strength, and hit him on the faint hole.
When he fell limply, the two of us jumped off the roof of the house as quickly as possible, took the key from the guard's waist, opened the door and entered the house.
There were three couches in this room, all empty on the left and right, and the one in the middle was bulging and covered with a fine straw mat, which must have been the body of the innkeeper's wife.
Xuanyuan Chen put my hand in the palm of his hand, and when he was about to go over, he glanced at me, and after I nodded, he gently lifted the straw mat.
Although I was prepared, I still felt a little uncomfortable when I saw it again.
The hostess's face had been treated, her eyes had been closed, her mouth was closed, and her loose hair had been tied up and braided into a bundle of hair on her shoulders.
I sighed, and without hesitation, slipped the ink out, cutting some of her fingers......
I pulled up the corner of her skirt again, cut the leg of her pants and scratched it lightly on her leg.
Sure enough, there was no blood in her body......
If you want to confirm that you already have an answer, Xuanyuan Chen covered the straw mat, flashed out of the room, locked the door and hung the key back on the waist of the guard, and after jumping on the roof, he threw out a small tile to untie his acupoint.
"Hmm...... How did you fall. The guard woke up quietly, shook his head a few times, and muttered to himself.
After leaving the palace, I dragged him all the way to the east, and soon walked in the direction of the city lord's mansion.
"Is that the thief of Ruori not seen here?" The two of us were standing on the roof not far away, he asked softly.
"Not bad." I nodded
Xu is because of winter, the night is relatively early, there are frequent accidents, and the lights of the people's houses are also relatively early, and as far as the eye can see, except for the city lord's mansion, the rest are dark.
It was confirmed that the innkeeper was dying of blood, I didn't dare to rush in, and after thinking about it, I shook out the porcelain bottle from my sleeve and put the warm tonic medicine She Ming gave me at the bottom of my tongue.
When the elixir turned into a stream of heat, I took a deep breath and then looked at it carefully.
This Pocheng lord is also a fine person, and in addition to the gold and brilliance in the mansion, there are also a lot of organs. However, the organs in his mansion are nothing compared to the organs in the Xiangli City Lord's Mansion.
I took a closer look and found that although there were many guards in the house, there were few women in the backyard, one was embroidering, one was wearing a costume and singing in green clothes, and one was beating and scolding the maidservant.
I quickly turned around and looked again, looking for them one by one, and saw a man in a red robe with flower sleeves in a room, he was smiling at this time, his eyes were very sloppy, and his mouth was still saliva, he should be the stupid son of the city lord.
At this time, there was a bunch of purple jade crowns, and the old man wearing a green pine and cypress sleeve shirt strode forward, and the maids and women in the house all knelt down, and the old man raised his hand, and everyone thanked him and got up.
The direction in which he is standing is exactly opposite to me, this person has broad eyebrows and cheeks, his eyes are bright, his two thick eyebrows are flying obliquely, and he has a short beard under his chin.
"Second Young Master, how are you doing today?" He asked.
A few of the maidservants turned their backs to me, and they couldn't see the shape of their mouths, and they wanted to say good things.
Po Weiheng nodded, walked a few steps in front of his stupid son, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, the stupid boy was even happier, as if he wanted to get up, but he couldn't control his body, shaking his head, but his saliva was flowing more.
The maidservant next to her hurriedly took the silk to wipe it, and Po Weiheng and the mother-in-law next to her told something, and then went out.
I didn't look at it for too long with my strength, but my brain was suddenly dizzy, I quickly retracted my gaze, and quickly poured a small pill and pressed it under my tongue, and the medicine dissolved, and it seemed to be better.
"What's wrong with it?" Xuanyuan Chen's eyes deepened slightly, and he asked softly.
At this point, I couldn't explain more, so I told him that it was okay and continued to look into the city lord's mansion.
In this effort, Po Weiheng had already traveled a long way, walked through the corridor, and came to a quiet courtyard.
Once in the courtyard, he slammed on the attic door, pushed it into the house, and then closed the door.
There was no one in the house, but the candles were lit.
He walked to the bookshelf on the right, held on to one of the ornaments, twisted slightly, and the screen on the side opened, and in the mist, the back of a man soaked in a huge bathtub appeared.
Although it was only the back, he was bathing after all, and besides, I had never seen a man......
I blushed a little and quickly took my gaze back.
"What's wrong with you?" Xuanyuan Chen looked sideways at me.
Ever since I stood here, he had been looking at me sideways, I had taken two pills in a row, shaking my head and frowning, if I told him that it was okay, let alone him, I wouldn't believe it.
Or not......
I said slowly, "Well, let's go back and talk about it, okay?" ”
He was silent for a moment, nodded in response, reached out and shook my hand, and put it in the palm of his hand to warm it.
I smiled slightly, and looked at it again, and strangely enough, there was no one in the room anymore.
If you look closely, the screen is closed, but the candles in the room are still on.
Could it be that you have entered the office room?
I thought about it, and finally turned my gaze and concentrated on going through the screen wall.
