Chapter 53: Purgatory on Earth
She lowered her eyes and examined the corpse repeatedly, as if she had been stabbed again and again by a knife.
They were all cut off and drenched in stone paint, and they were struggling to survive in the fire, crawling like reptiles towards the door.
Until the fire was raging, and their whole bodies were wrapped in flames, but they didn't even have the strength to struggle and roll, so they were burned alive by the fire.
I could still see the desperate and painful faces in front of me, and the wails resounded endlessly.
Purgatory on Earth!
Liu Ruyan clenched the green bricks with her ten fingers, she buried her head deeply, and kept chattering like a demon: "Who is it, who is it, who is it......"
Who is so vicious and vicious to do such a conscientious thing!
She struggled to calm her mind, her chaotic consciousness struggling to recall details.
In the previous life, the inn was burned, and the scout camp Yigan people were buried in the fire, and then, when the officers and soldiers investigated, they found ironclad evidence of treason with the enemy, as well as the autopsy list that was made, and finally came to the conclusion - suicide in fear of crime!
This time, the location was changed to Liujiazhuang, and there was a very dangerous river outside Zhuangzi, and no one could cross the river without someone familiar to lead the way.
In this way, there is no proof of death, and they have been charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason.
Her thoughts flickered, and she instantly thought of the "ironclad evidence" left by the murderer, if she could find it before the officers and soldiers.
She steadied herself: "Ye Xun, help me find a secret letter." ”
The young man appeared, he raised his hands, and countless silver screens flew towards Liu Ruyan from mid-air like glowing mirrors.
The silver screen swirled around her, and she stared, her gaze quickly scanning the screen.
With her as the center, every corner of the temple appears on the screen, from the beams to the floor tiles, nothing is missing.
Time seemed to stand still, she was silent, and her face became more and more ugly.
"Why not?"
Shen Yanchu twisted his eyebrows: "What are you looking for?" ”
Liu Ruyan just shook her head.
"I know you're unwilling." Shen Yanchu said, "They were plotted by someone, and if they want to find clues, they can only go back to the original place of the incident." ”
"The place where the incident ......" She suddenly realized that although there were bones here, it was not the original scene.
Thinking that they had crawled some distance before they died, Liu Ruyan turned his head to look at the lobby behind him, the ancestral hall of the Liu family!
She got up immediately, but on the way, she was swept by Shen Yanchu's sleeve wind, and her footsteps stopped for a moment.
"Follow me." He said.
At this time, the fire had receded a lot, and the ruins that could be seen everywhere had collapsed, revealing a large area of the night sky overhead.
Shen Yanchu stood under this night sky, the moonlight flowed, the man seemed to have a halo around him, and she stood in the dark a few steps away.
She looked at the watershed-like light and dark line between the two, and her eyes were a little dark.
"Don't come over yet." Shen Yanchu still walked ahead, opening up a path for her at the cost of consuming her true qi.
"Why do you want to help me?" She asked.
Shen Yanchu's footsteps didn't stop, and he couldn't hear joy and anger in his voice: "I can't get used to seeing your useless appearance." ”
Liu Ruyan silently lowered her eyes.
The two walked into the ancestral hall one after another, which was open on all sides, there were no superfluous furnishings in the hall, and the only desk enshrined the tablet of the ancestors, and a charred corpse in the purpose.
Next to the corpse was an unsheathed scimitar.
"Uncle Quan's original name was Liu Hanquan, and a cold moon knife never left his body day and night." She muttered, looking at the dried blood on the blade, "There was a fight here, probably the original scene. ”
Looking around the ancestral hall, if there is really any physical evidence, a fire is enough to turn to ashes, where exactly did the murderer hide it, so that this so-called ironclad evidence can finally be presented to the court.
As far as the eye can see, dilapidated wooden beams and mottled green bricks.
She looked at the tablet on the altar and paused slightly.
"Ayer."
Liu Ruyan walked to the offering table, but at this moment, the wooden card made a soft sound, fell to the table with a "bang", and finally fell to the ground.
She didn't care about the hot and reached out to pick it up, and suddenly, she saw something again, and her hands froze in the air.
However, if I saw that there were a few used incense sticks on the ground, which were burned black by the fire, it would be difficult to find these incense sticks on the ground if I looked closely.
Apparently the remaining half of the incense had been pulled out of the censer and thrown to the ground.
Suddenly she thought of something, stood up, peeled off the ashes in the furnace, and touched a foreign object with her fingers.
Liu Ruyan hurriedly took out this thing, and saw that it was a few rolls of pale yellow paper, and the so-called ironclad evidence was vivid.
"Aye, Liujiazhuang is gone." She picked up her father's tablet, traced the blackened handwriting on it with her fingertips, pondered for a moment, and finally included it in the system space.
After doing this, the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of the Cold Moon Knife, she took out a handkerchief, wrapped it around her hand a few times, carefully picked up the hilt, and wiped all the blood stains on the knife.
At this time, an ink-colored jade pendant fell, and she looked down to see that the totem on the jade pendant looked like a green ghost and a dragon.
The Underworld Sect.
For a moment, she seemed to have figured out something, raised her eyes, and looked at Shen Yanchu fixedly.
Shen Yanchu frowned, and when he saw her holding up a black jade in her hand, he seemed to laugh angrily: "I have never figured out how the murderer successfully crossed the river and sneaked into Liujiazhuang." But if there is a puppet to control it, it will be different, heh, in vain I thought that I would be safe with you with me, but I never thought that you would still kill me completely. ”
She looked at him, and the black jade she was holding in her hand sank deep into her palm.
"Killing people and setting fires is worthy of the consistent style of the Cangying Sect, and its methods are so vicious that I will wait for them, and I hate them!" She said word by word, holding the Cold Moon Knife, with a killing aura.
Liu Ruyan Hanyue was in her hand, full of hatred and turned into the wind that fell from the tip of the knife!
When the tip of the knife was close at hand, Shen Yanchu's body moved slightly, avoiding its blade.
The light of the sword shone on the Hokage, and she stepped forward again, the cold blade straight to her chest.
Shen Yanchu's eyebrows sank, Yun Sleeve climbed up the blade, and his arm swirled to resolve his moves one by one, at the same time, he withdrew his hand, flicked his sleeve, and dragged Liu Ruyan into his arms.
"Adversary, let me go!"
Liu Ruyan was suddenly dragged into his arms, she was annoyed and angry, and kept struggling in his arms. Shen Yanchu quickly raised his hand and fell, and the violent person in his arms finally quieted down, closed his eyes, and fell into a coma.
Outside Liujiazhuang.
Bai Zhi looked at the dark sky and kept pacing back and forth.
At this time, he finally heard footsteps from inside and hurriedly looked over.
saw Shen Yanchu holding Liu Ruyan, and walked all the way with a vague breath.
Bai Zhi hurriedly walked forward, glanced at the unconscious Liu Ruyan, and asked, "What's going on inside?" ”
"Liujiazhuang was plotted, and no one survived." Shen Yanchu's voice was deep.
Bai Zhi opened her mouth, stunned: "How can this be, then she ......"
"He's fine, he's just fainted." Shen Yanchu said, "Find a place to stay first, and then talk about it when he wakes up." ”
Bai Zhi nodded: "On the mountain not far from here, there seems to be a thatched hut where you can settle down. ”
"Okay, you lead the way." Shen Yanchu hugged Liu Ruyan and left with Bai Zhi.
