Chapter 82 Breaking into Xuanhua Mansion at Night
No one thought that Sikong Liuyun, who was called the reincarnation of Hua Tuo and the white-clothed holy hand, would have a grandson of a thief king, who chased the wind.
Chu Lan had heard of this name a long time ago, and it was rumored that not long after his debut, he had several major cases one after another, and even a world-class dragon's blood night pearl in the palace compound was won by him, and the most surprising thing was that he also stole the belly pocket of the most favored concubine of a country lord by the way!
Until now, no one has ever known how he did it, and famous headhunters everywhere have encountered him a few times, but each time he escaped like a slippery fish.
Sikong chasing the wind's cultivation is not high, but the ability to escape is a must, in the same realm, he said that his light skills are the second in the world, and no one dares to say that he is the first.
Chu Lan's face turned pale, and while recovering his vitality, he asked, "Really?"
"It's like a fake!"
"If so, he is not only a thief, but also a very accomplished physician?"
Sikong Liuyun smiled, he waved his hand and said, "Hahaha, this stinky boy, not only is he not proficient in medical science, but he doesn't even know how to fur, he doesn't dare to be interested in my medical skills at all, even if I force him to teach him with a silver needle, he won't learn." β
Chu Lan laughed along, this commonplace chasing the wind is really interesting, if he can, he would really like to make such a friend.
He asked again, "So where is he now?"
Sikong Liuyun sighed, "Where do I know where to go, he has been away from home for five or six years, and he may still be in the Eastern Regions, or in Zhongzhou or the Western Desert, this is not certain, anyway, wherever there is something he is interested in, he will go." β
Lu Botong has been standing aside, his mouth has grown into an O-shape, and he has never heard the old man mention that he has such a descendant.
"Okay, you wait for me, I'll go inside and see this little bottle of water. β
Chu Lan and Lu Botong nodded in agreement.
The sun was bleak, and the moon was already dimly showing its head.
is worthy of being a senior master with some names in the rivers and lakes, and he came out after a while.
It's just that Sikong Liuyun's eyebrows were furrowed, and he asked Chu Lan worriedly, "Little brother, where did you get this bottle of water?"
Chu Lan answered truthfully, "Qingxi Town"
"What a vicious heart," Sikong Liuyun's face was ugly.
Chu Lan knew that this old-timer had seen the doorway
"How?"
"There is a Kasa virus in this water, which can cause people who come into contact with it to develop a highly contagious disease"
"There was a village that contracted this disease decades ago, and it didn't take long for all the people in that village to die, but unfortunately I was not skilled at that time, and I couldn't save them."
"I didn't expect that someone would deliberately poison it now. β
Chu Lan was extremely angry in his heart, he was really disgusted by the unscrupulous behavior of these well-dressed beasts in order to make money.
"Sir, do you have a way to crack it?"
"Of course there is, I will say a few herbs, you write them down, when the time comes, grab them, grind them into foam, bring them to a simmer, and feed them to others."
"They are, jute, thunderbeard root, broken grassγγγγγ β
"Woohoo"
Before he finished speaking, suddenly the sound of a flute came from nowhere, and the sound was clear and sultry, as if a young woman was looking forward to the return of her lover, and suddenly it took another turn, like a ghost crying, and the voice was terrifying.
Chu Lan and Lu Botong were both attracted by the sound of the flute, and what they didn't notice was that a red shadow suddenly rushed out of the dark corner, like a red arrow, heading straight for Sima Liuyun.
It turned out to be a small red snake, less than two feet long, but extremely fast, and its red fine scales were imperceptible under the cover of the setting sun.
Chu Lan's eyes were about to crack, the cold air behind her rose, and her figure exploded from the spot.
When he was about to get the answer to this matter, Sima Liuyun was immediately attacked, obviously someone had been watching his every move secretly, and he didn't want Chu Lan to solve this matter.
Chu Lan stretched out two fingers, and there was spiritual power wrapped around his fingertips to form a cone, which was a move in the hand of the seventy-two road grappler, and the speed was extremely fast, producing an air explosion.
He was only two or three paces away from Sikong Liuyun. The last one came first, and in fact his outstretched two fingers did catch the little red snake.
But just clamping its tail, the straight red viper was clamped by him, cut off its breath, and instantly collapsed.
Before he could breathe, Sikong Liuyun's eyes were already wide open, and there were two small holes in his neck, and blood was flowing outward, but it was not red, but purple blood.
Lu Botong trembled, stood in place for a while, lost his mind for a while, and didn't know what to do.
Chu Lan took a closer look and saw that the wound on Sikong Liuyun's neck was exactly the same as that of Boss Fu Ruixiang's, which meant that these two things were the same murderer.
This person who has been hindering Chu Lan from solving the case in the shadows, Chu Lan hated it to the extreme, and repeatedly broke the important clues of this matter.
Chu Lan was anxious, and almost commanded Lu Botong and yelled, "I'll chase the murderer, you go into the house and see if there is any antidote." β
Chu Lan stepped on the ape flying body method, and his vitality was not fully recovered, but he couldn't care so much anymore, he had to catch the other party.
Seeing a black shadow from a distance flashing into the woods at the end of the field, Chu Lan's spiritual power on the soles of his feet churned violently, and his face became more and more pale.
He continued to leap in the field, following the black shadow into the dense forest, but as soon as he entered here, countless towering trees surrounded him, as if they were all provoking him with their teeth and claws.
Chu Lan let go of his divine sense, closed his eyes and felt it, and then rushed in one direction, the ape flying body method was extremely flexible, although the ancient trees here were towering to the sky, and the vines covered the sky and the sun, but he still walked like flying.
After a while, I saw a small temple, in the lonely standing forest, obviously no one had come to worship for a long time, the surrounding weeds were overgrown, the old skin on the walls was peeling off, and the two stone pillars in front of the door were broken.
Chu Lan rushed there and turned into a shock.
After entering here, I feel that I am cold, there are three stone statues in the broken temple, in the middle is a low-eyebrow Bodhisattva, on the left is an Arhat, and on the right is a hideous Rakshasa with a hideous face. Whether it is a rakshasa or a bodhisattva arhat, Chu Lan always feels that these stone statues seem to be alive, and there are a pair of eyes watching him in the dark, in such an environment, he doesn't want to stay for a second.
But he had to stay, because the murderer was probably hiding here
"Bang la la"
Suddenly, there was the sound of chains shaking, and then the sound of tooth-clattering gears.
Chu Lan bounced off the spot, and immediately three bone-penetrating nails shot out of Luohan's mouth and inserted them in the place where Chu Lan was standing just now.
No wonder he always felt that these three stone statues were full of demonic energy, it turned out that these were not the protectors who were worshiped by people and could protect the common people, but a hellish Yama who respected people's lives.
The green-faced fanged Rakshasa Tirakaca turned for a while, and then suddenly shook his hand, and the black steel fork in his hand suddenly threw it towards Chu Lan.
Chu Lan was short, took a bird's earth dragon style, rolled to the side, and a large flame suddenly erupted from the mouth of the bodhisattva in the middle.
The fire turned into a fire dragon to practice, it was not an ordinary fire, and the hot air waves rushed straight to Chu Lan.
Chu Lan spun in the air, and the flames contaminated by the corners of his clothes had been extinguished by him.
A wind blew in, and Chu Lan had already left here like a swallow through the hall.
The most important thing now is not to demolish this weird ruined temple, but to find out the murderer.
But when he came out, there was no sound around him, and he jumped up on the branch, as if nothing had happened except the chirping of insects and the chirping of frogs.
Chu Lan was extremely angry, his heart was extremely aggrieved, and he punched the big tree next to him, and the fist stabbed directly into it, and then the dragon qi on the fist rushed out, and beside him, the big tree was smashed by a bombardment.
Turned around and returned to Sima Liuyun's small courtyard.
The stars have woven the night, and the night has fallen.
In the yard, an iron tree that has bloomed is swaying gently, the branches and leaves are like phoenix tails, the branches are like plantains, and the yellow and red flowers exude a faint fragrance.
Lu Botong turned his back to the door, and the old man in front of him had turned into a cold corpse.
Although the crimson snake was not long, it was venomous enough, and after injecting the venom into Sima Liuyun's body, the toxin invaded his heart at a very fast speed.
Lu Botong didn't know pharmacology, but he just poured Sima Liuyun's antidote pill into Sima Liuyun's mouth, and he was indeed panicked.
However, this miracle doctor, who had saved countless people before his seclusion, failed to save himself.
ββββββββ
In the bleak wind, I recalled the beginning, the fog was thick, and the clouds saw the fog.
Looking at the road ahead in the cold rain, the twilight is deep, and I don't know the way back.
The moonlight was miserable, as if there was fog, and only the teenager was the same.
The night is as soft as a lake, faintly like smoke.
Outside the compound of Xuanhua Mansion, there was already a black-robed young man standing here, his eyes seemed to be brighter than the stars in the sky.
It's just that the two pairs of eyes that are so bright now are full of anger.
Chu Lan wanted to see how the red-clothed man entered the heavily guarded Xuanhua Mansion at that time, and how he brought out the gold and silver treasures.
The most important thing is that since the spread of the plague in Qingxi Town is related to An Zeyang, then the Xuanhua City Government may have medicine to treat this disease.
He stretched out his arms flat, shook down, his body had jumped four or five feet, hanging on the wall like a gecko, his fingers buckled on the wall, and with more effort, his body was raised again, and in a blink of an eye, he was on the wall.
The small tea pavilion I went to last time was in front of Xuanhua Mansion, and it was not even in the middle, which shows how big this mansion is, and there is no small amount of money that An Zeyang has collected through unscrupulous means.
According to the structural map of Xuanhua Mansion that An Zeyang showed Chu Lan, Neiku was located at the rear of the entire mansion.
Chu Lan entered it in the dark, dodged several waves of guards one after another, and slowly approached the inner library, which was known as the most heavily guarded.
The guards are in groups of thirty-six, divided into four teams, each team is accompanied by a monk of the fifth grade or above of the spirit wheel, and the handover is carried every half an hour, which means that if you want not to alarm these guards to enter it, you must pass through the gap between the guards, and this gap is at most two teas.
The requirements for patience and light skill are extremely high, if Chu Lan didn't have the ape flying method, it is estimated that he would not be able to touch it.
Chu Lan's chest was tight, and Qingxi Town's painful and distorted faces appeared in his mind, like slides. He wanted to know how the red-clothed thief used to enter the inner library, but it was full of dark hills, comparable to the tiger's den in Longtan, and once discovered, he would be in danger of being besieged by hundreds of monks.
Although Chu Lan was confident, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to get out intact under the siege of so many masters.
Because although he was ordered by An Zeyang to investigate this matter, he had already seen the ugly face of the other party, and the disappearance of Wang Er Mazi and another officer and soldier in Qingxi Town must have reached the ears of the lord of Xuanhua Mansion, and he could also think that this matter was done by himself.
Once someone sees something you don't see, then you think about making this person disappear. An Zeyang is certainly no exception.
So once it is discovered, Chu Lan doesn't need to explain, even if he explains and takes out the cyan wooden card, the result will still not change.
A group of soldiers turned the corner, the last person had been dragged out, Chu Lan changed into the same clothes as others as quickly as possible, put on the Linghu mask, and followed the swaggering patrol of the other soldiers.
After walking around for about two or three laps, when it was time to change shifts, there was a row of bungalows here, which were for shift changers to rest, and Chu Lan went out to pee.
He was already like a dexterous monkey, and he felt some distance into it.
Hiding in the shadow of the moonlight, Chu Lan stretched out his head to see, there was a pair of big iron gates here, it was estimated that ordinary monks could not push them open, it was very heavy, and there were two sturdy men guarding the door.
In fact, they were just pretending, the most precious batch of gold, silver and jewelry had been taken away by the red-clothed thieves recently, and the rest of the valuables were quietly transported to other places by An Zeyang, so the two of them were not worried about the thieves here at all.
It's a pity that someone has touched it now, and he is not a thief, so he thinks differently.
Chu Lan pinched his neck with his fingers and learned a wild cat meow, and the two of them pulled out their weapons and walked to the shadows.
At this time, there were already two cold lights in the darkness, and they were already paralyzed to the ground before they could scream.
Chu Lan took out the key from their waists and walked into the big iron gate.
