The sudden murder involved the dark ghost path, which made Zhou Yan and others pay great attention to it.

The Sword Domain Martial Arts Conference was imminent, and it was expected that the Dark Way would come out to cause trouble, but they didn't expect it to start with the torture and killing of civilians.

And the way it started was so weird, like some kind of weird ritual.

Whether it is the way of light or the way of darkness, as long as it involves rituals, it will not be a trivial matter.

But after an hour of searching, the entire mansion was searched up and down, and all the weapons were placed on the ground, but none of them were murder weapons.

Because there was no blood.

Shangguan Zheng still had some experience in the end, and frowned: "If the direction we judge is correct, then it is impossible not to find the murder weapon, the murder weapon must be among these weapons, but it has been scrubbed clean." ”

Speaking of this, he added: "It is also possible that it was transferred out by the inner ghost." ”

Then he said loudly: "The front door, the back door, the side door, no matter which door, the guard on duty today, stand up." ”

So a company of ten guards stood up, and one of them said, "Four of us are guarding the main gate, and the six of them are on duty at the other three gates." ”

Shangguan Zheng said: "This morning, did anyone go out?"

The guards guarding the front gate and the two side gates shook their heads, but the two guards at the back door frowned.

Zhou Yan said: "Say, who has gone out?"

A guard said, "Mother Wu and the four maids went out to buy with a cart." ”

Zhou Yan said: "Who is Mother Wu? Which four maids took the initiative to stand up." ”

So the five of them hurriedly stood up, trembling, and said that they didn't go out with the murder weapon, the cart was empty, and they couldn't hide it.

The two guards also said that there was no problem, and it was obvious at a glance that they did not have any weapons with them.

Su Hongxue said suspiciously: "That means that the murder weapon is still in the mansion, it may have been wiped clean, or it may have been hidden." ”

Zhou Yan said: "Anyway, it's impossible to disappear, and you can't hide it." ”

He looked around and said loudly, "Re-check all the places in the house where I can wash things, see if there are any blood stains left, and go quickly." ”

So they dispersed again, and after a quarter of an hour they returned.

There are no anomalies, no blood remains.

Things seem to have run into a block, and there is something wrong with the way of judgment?

It shouldn't be, since it's determined that it's a ghost in a dream, it can only be a bewitching way.

He frowned and said, "The entire mansion has been searched, is there anything missing?"

Thinking of this, he suddenly said: "You go to the garden immediately to see if there are any traces of new digging, the soil has been loosened, check carefully." ”

One of the catchers said: "My lord, there is still a place that has not been checked, the secret room." ”

Zhou Yan Huoran looked at the old man.

The old man hurriedly shook his head and said, "Only I can enter the secret room, and all the precious items stored in it are my family tree, money, and so on. ”

Su Hongxue said: "Take us in and have a look, no one can look at your money." ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

So he led everyone to his bedroom, turned the vase on the wooden shelf, and the door of a secret secret room was opened.

Walking into the secret room, under the dim light, Zhou Yan's eyes were like torches, and he saw rows of shelves and boxes.

The old man said, "The dust is a bit heavy, and I haven't been in for a long time." ”

Zhou Yan smiled slowly, turned around and said, "No, you came in once before, there were footprints, there was no dust on the handle of the box, and it was opened." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "It's impossible, only I have the key, and the key hangs on my chest." ”

He pulled out the necklace around his neck, and the pendant was the key.

Su Hongxue sighed, glanced at him with some sympathy, and said softly: "Then there is only one possibility, you are the murderer who killed your son." ”

Hearing this, the faces of several catchers changed instantly.

And Zhou Yan had already cut open the box, the aura was shocked, the jewels flew up, and a bloody sword was in the center.

The old man was a little stunned, stunned for several breaths, and then slowly widened his eyes.

He exclaimed, somewhat exaggeratedly, "How could I have harmed my own son!"

Zhou Yan said: "You are a murderous knife, not a murderer, let's go, go out and talk." ”

Just in case, the knife was already on the old man's neck.

Walking into the courtyard, the guards and family members were shocked and leaned over one after another.

Shangguan Zheng said loudly: "Give me all back!"

Su Hongxue said: "Let them exit this courtyard, I want to go back to my dream and track down the murderer." ”

The old man is also a person who has seen the world, and said with tears in his eyes: "Give the old man out!"

There was endless pain and hatred in his voice, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "My lords, please... Please do your best to track down the murderer, and don't care if this old man lives or dies. ”

The grief of being bewitched and killing his own son with his own hands is indescribable.

"Lie on the ground. ”

Su Hongxue said a word and had already taken off the brass mirror.

The old man lay down, panting heavily.

Su Hongxue said: "He can't calm down, let him faint." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, and a light aura shot out and hit the old man's jade pillow acupoint.

The old man fainted suddenly, and his breathing calmed down.

Shangguan Zheng glanced around, and said to the few catchers: "You also go out, maintain order here, don't let people break in easily, and don't let them out." ”

"Yes!"

A few catchers were already frightened, and when they heard this, they withdrew without hesitation.

Su Hongxue put the brass mirror on the old man's chest, then took a deep breath and said, "Going back to the dream realm, there is a certain danger, if the power of the dream realm overflows, it must be controlled in time." ”

Zhou Yan nodded, and then said, "Why can the brass mirror go back to the dream?"

Su Hongxue said: "This is a dream he had, hidden in the depths of his memory, he is an ordinary person so he can't remember, but the brass mirror can be traced back to the dream hidden in the depths of his memory through this residual soul power." ”

Zhou Yan said: "Let's start." ”

Shangguan Zheng's expression also became serious, and the black knife was in his hand, holding it tightly.

Su Hongxue's face was solemn, and an aura cut through her fingers, and blood fell and dripped on the brass mirror.

Strange rune notches suddenly appeared on the frame of the brass mirror, and these notches glowed so brightly that the brass mirror also emitted a dim yellow glow.

After a few moments, the mirror gradually blurred, and then a deeper glow poured out, revealing the darkness of the picture.

It was like a black mountain range, entrenched under the dark night sky, at the end of the vast land.

A subtle, weird, mocking hissing sound has gradually come out.

At this moment, for some reason, Zhou Yan and the others' bodies felt a little chilly, and goosebumps rose.

As the mirror drew closer, the mountain drew closer, and the outline became clearer.

It turned out to be a stone sculpture!

A huge stone sculpture of a bat with lifelike wings and claws, and a hideous head that makes people's hearts tremble.

And the scariest thing is its eyes!

The stone eyes unexpectedly opened a slit, revealing a faint blood light.

When he saw the blood light, Zhou Yan already felt that he couldn't breathe.

He subconsciously looked at Shangguan Zheng and Su Hongxue, and found that their condition was even more serious, his lips were white, and his pupils were constantly constricting.

"Goo!"

A strange laugh came, and suddenly, everyone realized that the stone sculpture was not black, but full of black bats, but all of them were asleep, and they did not open their eyes.

There was only one place of its original color, and it was a gate, a horizontal gate about three zhang high and seven or eight zhang wide.

The door was bronze, carved with strange runes, and in the center, there was the familiar imprint.

An imprint of the "North" typeface!

Scarlet and striking, eerie and hideous.

Then, another strange laugh came.

The bat, which had been black, suddenly opened its eyes and flew to the mirror, revealing a strange smile.

Zhou Yan and others, at the same time, the heart shook violently.
