The person inside the door, with a familiar face, sat on top of a four-wheeled cart, his head drooping, his hands hanging down naturally, and his whole body stiff and straight, as if he was asleep.

Shen Mu's heart seemed to be equipped with a time bomb, and with a "boom", it burst open accurately and punctually as the door opened.

An indescribable pain, pouring down.

There was a blur in front of him, and his mind went blank.

He had thought about the scene of life and death parting many times, such as in the fire, on the battlefield where swords and arrows rained, and then in the formation where swords and swords flew together.

But I never thought that on such a calm evening, the sun was slightly slanting westward, and the breeze was gently lifting, so comfortable and so quiet a picture,

Unexpectedly...... It's like a world away!

Shen Mu didn't dare to test it with his hands.

He knew that the fifth uncle would not sit here for no reason, let alone be silent when he practiced marksmanship.

Shen Mu's hands were trembling...... Then his whole body trembled, and he fell to the ground with an unsteady foot.

Ning Wu sat on the four-wheeled cart and did not move.

On weekdays, if Ning Wu saw Shen Mu like this, he would definitely scold, "Rubbish!"

However, after a long wait, there was no sound.

There was a loud bang, waking up Shen Mu.

When I came back to my senses, I saw a child standing outside the door in a panic, his eyes widening, his mouth open to the limit, trembling, and frightened. For a long time, an earth-shattering shout tore through the quiet summer.

"Ah...... Dead man......"

This shout penetrated the sky. It was more like a sharp sword, falling from the sky, penetrating Shen Mu's soul and tearing apart the little sanity that he still had.

The courtyard was soon filled with people.

Most of them are brothers of the righteous valve.

Lu Laosan was the first to arrive, and he was also the first to cry.

"Ning Wu" was rescued by him, and it was he who pulled "Ning Wu" back from the brink of death with a mouthful of water and porridge.

But now, Ning Wuyi is motionless, sitting on a four-wheeled car, like a sleeping child...... No matter how others call, there is no wave.

Ma Linzi saw that Shen Mu looked hollow, sitting on the ground in a daze, he couldn't bear it, and reached out to help Shen Mu up.

The shopkeeper saw that there was a dead person, and hurriedly supported Xiao Er to go to report to the official.

Zong Ming is delicate, he doesn't know what happened at present, and who killed the fifth uncle, at this time, report to the official, in case Mr. Shen is involved, wouldn't it be bad. So he stopped Xiao Er, threw a silver tael, and asked the shopkeeper to prepare the coffin first, and as for the rest, it will be discussed later.

The shopkeeper trembled and took the silver, he knew that Shen Mu was an official of the imperial court, so there should be no problem.

If the people don't fight with the officials, what others tell them will do for themselves. Otherwise...... It's hard to save a small life.

Ma Linzi saw that Shen Mu was speechless for a long time, and called softly: "Mr. Shen......"

Shen Mu's whole body was cold, as if he had fallen into an abyss, and the cold air flow around him wrapped him tightly, and the cold crown of his teeth trembled.

The fifth uncle's corpse was right in front of him, but he didn't know anything about practicing martial arts with a gun in the courtyard, and it was the fifth uncle who taught him his own methods. What a heart-wrenching joke!

Lu Laosan howled and cried, bluntly saying that he wanted to avenge Ning Wu, a stout and burly man, crying like a lost child.

With Ma Linzi's soft call and Lu Laosan's cry, Shen Mu gradually came back to his senses.

He took a long breath, pushed Marinzi away, and walked slowly

Go to the side of the Ning 55-wheeled car.

Ma Linzi was worried about Shen Mu, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to protect him.

Shen Mu squatted down and carefully examined Ning Wu's corpse.

He knew that Ning Wu was a Dao cultivator, and it must be extraordinary to be able to kill Ning Wu quietly.

In the inn, no one will be Ning Wu's opponent.

Ning Wu didn't have any injuries on his body, only a trace of dirty blood came out of the corner of his mouth.

Shen Mu stretched out his hand and groped Ning Wu's front chest and back, and his heart was even more surprised.

The fifth uncle's muscles and bones are intact and there is no abnormality. Who the hell killed Ning Wu in various ways?

Shen Mu looked around at everyone, the people here definitely killed Ning Wu, and there was no reason to kill the fifth uncle.

Who is it and why?

Why did you kill the fifth uncle?

Why did you deliberately move the body of the fifth uncle here?

Although Shen Mu felt a thousand pains in his heart, he knew that only finding the murderer of the fifth uncle was the most important consolation.

Crying can't solve the problem, and immediately the performance of a coward.

Only by standing up and bringing the murderer to justice can the fifth uncle's teachings to him be in vain.

Shen Mu took two steps and stared at the shopkeeper with his eyes: "Shopkeeper, let me ask you, have you ever seen any strange people come to the inn!"

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and shook his head categorically: "The little one has been checking the accounts at the counter, but I haven't seen anyone enter." ”

"Who was the last person to enter the firewood room?

The shopkeeper said: "This small one is clear, and the last table of guests will be sent away at noon, and the small one will come to the back kitchen to check." Finding that the dry firewood and grain storage were enough, he locked the firewood room and continued to go back to the counter to take inventory. ”

When Shen Mu heard this, he frowned and said, "You mean that the firewood room is locked......"

"Yes, yes, it's locked. You have also seen that there is not only dry firewood in this room, but also a lot of grain and meat. The small ones are delivered to the back kitchen on demand on weekdays to prevent the villain, so they will always be carefully locked!"

Shen Mu glanced at the latch of the door, and there was no copper lock on the wooden door. Shen Mu stepped forward to observe carefully, but he didn't know the point.

If the shopkeeper is telling the truth, then someone must have opened the lock, and it doesn't matter what method is used, the person who can take the key without being discovered, or directly pinch the copper lock, can at least show that this person is by no means idle.

It seems that if you want to find out the origin of the murderer, I am afraid that it will take a lot of effort.

Here, Xiao Er has bought back the coffin. Ma Linzi and the others carefully carried Ning Wu's body into the coffin.

Because the inn could not stop the corpse, Shen Mu and the others had to transport the fifth uncle's body to the mansion first.

Duan Chao and Zeng Roushui were all sad when they heard that Ning Han had been killed, Zeng Roushui secretly wiped her tears, and feared that Shen Mu would be sad, so she specially asked Ma Linzi and others to take care of Shen Mu carefully.

The night was a long one.

The sunset, the stars, the wind, the grass moves.

Bai Lian on the door, every time he pulled, froze time.

Shen Mu has been kneeling silently in front of the coffin, not dripping water, not thinking about tea and dinner.

Although Ma Linzi persuaded him, he still couldn't open his mouth. Duan Chao even thought about breaking Shen Mu's mouth and feeding him the rice, but was finally stopped by Zeng Roushui.

Shen Mu blamed himself, no matter how capable he was, he still didn't know where to find the murderer.

There was not a single clue. How can I comfort the fifth uncle's spirit in the sky.

Guilt, self-blame, sadness, sourness!

The fifth uncle is the guide of his own cultivation, and he has spent a lot of effort on his own cultivation path. Without the fifth uncle, he Shen Mu would have died thousands of times, and without the fifth uncle, there would be no smooth sailing for the righteous qi gate now.

But now, everything has developed in a good direction, but the fifth uncle was assassinated.

Shen Mu didn't even know what method the murderer used and how he killed the fifth uncle.

A cool breeze blew, Shen Mu was in a trance, and suddenly, he gave himself a slap.

Duan Chao and the others, who were shocked by this slap, were at a loss, and hurriedly pulled Shen Mu back.

Shen Mu laughed and ran out of the sacrificial hall quickly.

Seeing this, Duan Chao shouted: "It's not good, Brother Shen is stunned." Zong Ming Zongbai, you two hurry up and catch up!"

The two Zongbai brothers hurriedly chased out. Seeing this, Shen Mu waved his hand again and again, and said, "You two stay, I will go back if I have something to do." ”

Zong Bai listened to Shen Mu's words quite normally, but he was still relieved and followed two steps.

Shen Mu looked back and shouted, "I said, you guys stay." I'll pick up something and go back. ”

The two of them had never seen Shen Mu scold like this, and they were shocked and didn't dare to move.

Shen Mu turned over and walked out of the mansion and went straight to the inn like the wind.

When he arrived at the inn, Shen Mu took out the bamboo flute given by Long Ze, ran to the backyard, and blew it vigorously......

It turned out that Shen Mu was blown by the evening breeze, and he was a little sober, since it was a famous Taoist cultivator who killed the fifth uncle. Naturally, I wanted to ask someone who cultivated for a realm higher than myself to help.

The whistle sounded, waited for a while, and didn't see Long Ze coming, Shen Mu glanced at the bamboo flute, and wondered if Long Ze was deceiving himself.

There was nothing to be done for a while, so I had to blow again.

"Ouch, I heard, I heard...... Doesn't it take some time to hurry?" Before the whistle sounded, Long Ze came from nowhere and landed on the wall.

Shen Mu was taken aback by Long Ze's sudden appearance, took the bamboo flute, and greeted: "Brother Long, junior brother has something to look for you, you can help me take a look, is there anything different in the courtyard here!"

Long Ze jumped off the courtyard wall and clapped his hands: "I came from afar to catch you calling, I thought there was wine, meat and a girl coming, but it turned out that I was asked to look at the air and drink the cold wind!"

Shen Mu had no intention of laughing, and said with a straight face: "Brother Long, my master was murdered here......

This sentence was like an alarm bell, and Long Ze's face turned pale, and he was at a loss for a while: "Brother, I'm sorry......! That one...... I really don't know!"

Shen Mu said indifferently: "It's okay." I'd like to ask you to see if there's any place for casting spells here. Can you see the murderer's methods? ”

Hearing this, Long Ze calmed down and followed Shen Mu to investigate.

After probing around, Long Ze frowned and said, "There is no sign of Dao Qi circulating here, where is your master's body now, can I take a look?"

Shen Mu bowed: "That's what I mean." Shen Mu knew that the murderer was meticulous, and he didn't leave any clues in the courtyard. I just had the expectation of trying it out, but as expected, I found nothing.

At present, I can only hope that Long Ze can see the cause of the fifth uncle's death, and use this as a breakthrough to find out the murderer.

As soon as they returned to the house, Zong Ming and Ma Linzi saw Shen Mu from afar, and hurriedly greeted him, looking up and down to see if Shen Mu was injured.

Shen Mu felt nostalgic in his heart, only said that he was fine, and introduced Long Ze to the two of them, but when he introduced him, he said that Long Ze was the criminal officer in the capital, and he was specially invited to check the cause of the fifth uncle's death.

The two of them confirmed that Shen Mu was fine, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately pushed open the gate of the courtyard, shouting: "Mr. Shen is fine, Mr. Shen is back!"
