Night.

The wax moon has gone for more than half of the month, Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and there is only a faint moonlight in the sky.

Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu live in the west wing, only separated by a wall.

Both heard the sound of someone tapping softly on the window.

"Qingqing, come out." Tang Qingqing heard someone call herself.

"Little leaf, come out." Ye Rongqiu heard someone call him.

The only person who can call them by their names like this is naturally Xiao Ding, so they came out quickly.

The two of them, who were secretly surprised, both snorted coldly in their nostrils after seeing each other, and then vented their anger on Xiao Ding together.

"If you don't sleep at night, what are you arguing about?" The two spoke almost in unison.

"Shhhh After Xiao Ding finished speaking mysteriously, he turned around and swept out of the courtyard wall.

Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu glanced at each other, suddenly jumped up, and followed Xiao Ding, who was not far behind.

Pengzu Peak cliff, cold wind is bleak, and the distant mountains are blurred.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu asked almost at the same time.

The two looked at each other in the dark, and then they were silent, this time it was rare that they didn't snort again.

"Yue Wuhua fell off the cliff from here." Xiao Ding said unhurriedly, but the two of them were startled.

I saw him squat down, grab a small handful of dirt from the ground, pinch it in his hand, put it in front of his nose and sniff it gently, and then smiled: "It should be about this time period." ”

Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu were confused when they heard this, and were about to ask, Xiao Ding also walked between the two, leaned down slightly, and hugged the two of them one in one hand.

The two were ashamed and anxious, and exclaimed, "What are you doing, let me go quickly." ”

Xiao Ding booed: "Don't move, hold me tight." ”

Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu knew that Xiao Ding would not make such a move for no reason, but they both sat on Xiao Ding's arm, and their upper bodies had nowhere to borrow, so they had to hug Xiao Ding's shoulders and neck and lie on top of him.

The picture is very eerie, and the atmosphere is very eerie.

In the middle of the night, the cold wind cliff, two women leaning on a man, this picture is indeed very weird.

Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu both hugged Xiao Ding, but at that time it was caused by an emotional breakdown. At this time, the three of them were hugging each other, and I don't know how the two of them felt at this time.

Especially when the two of them crossed their hands and hugged Xiao Ding's shoulders and neck, it was inevitable that their skin and limbs would touch. A thought flashed through the hearts of both of them: in fact, she didn't hate it that much.

Xiao Ding hugged the two of them in his arms, took a deep breath, and walked towards the edge of the cliff step by step.

Although Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu did not have a trace of fear in their hearts, their hearts were beating hard, they hugged Xiao Ding quietly, even if the three of them fell into this abyss like this, they would not struggle.

Finally, Xiao Ding walked to the edge of the cliff, stopped, and after he put the two down, he pulled one person with one hand and walked back to the place where he had just started from the other side.

Then, he took out the fire fold from his arms, blew it gently, blocked the blowing wind with his body, surrounded the fire fold with one hand, and squatted down to check the footprints he had just walked.

Sure enough, where he had just walked, there was a set of footprints, similar in depth to the one he had seen during the day.

When the wind was strong on the top of the mountain, and the fire was blown out by the wind, Xiao Ding smiled, and he sat on the ground and laughed.

This person is not crazy, Ye Rongqiu and Tang Qingqing also squatted down.

Ye Rongqiu patted Xiaoding and said angrily: "Still laughing, tell me what you mean by this." ”

Tang Qingqing directly twisted Xiao Ding's ears: "Little madman, you don't say it." ”

"Okay, okay, you let go, I'll say it." Xiao Ding was busy begging for mercy.

Xiao Ding rubbed his ears and said: "I saw that there were no footprints I walked on just now, when I came during the day, I saw a group of footprints of the same depth on the ground, and the footprints only went to the edge of the cliff, but they did not come back." ”

Ye Rongqiu said: "What does this mean? It is a fact that Yue Wuhua fell off the cliff after being pierced through the throat with a sword, and this is still what you said personally. “

Tang Qingqing also asked strangely: "Yes, did you say that on purpose during the day?" Do you suspect that the murderer was also at the scene? “

It's really two stupid people, Xiao Ding scolded secretly, but he didn't dare to show his voice easily.

He explained with a smile: "There has been no rain or snow these days, the ground is dry during the day, but at night the soil is more dewy and the soil begins to soften, and it is difficult for a person to step on such deep footprints on the ground, only a person with a load can step on such footprints." “

Ye Rongqiu looked at Tang Qingqing and said softly, "So you are holding the two of us, is it because the weight of the two of us is about the same as Yue Wuhua's." ”

"Clever!" Xiao Ding said with a smile.

Tang Qingqing said: "If the murderer is a woman, is it impossible to step on this kind of footprint?" ”

Xiao Ding shook his head and said: "The murderer will not be a woman, if it was a woman who killed Yue Wuhua, she only had to pick it up with her toes at that time, and she could pick the corpse off the cliff with her toes, instead of picking up the corpse with both hands and throwing it down." ”

Tang Qingqing said that he didn't understand: "Women can use their feet to pick up corpses, why can't men?" ”

"Although this place is on the cliff, it is unusually flat, and there are no overgrown weeds around, obviously because the Taoist priests of the Qingcheng sect often come here to practice. But the time when Yue Wuhua fell was in the middle of the night, and the Shangqing Palace was doing something, so it was impossible for him to come here in the middle of the night to practice alone. Xiao Ding knew that the two of them must not understand, so he simply said the problem directly.

Ye Rongqiu said suddenly: "In other words, the murderer made an appointment with him to come here together?" “

Tang Qingqing said: "Since he came by appointment, he should be on guard, how could he be easily pierced through the throat by the murderer?" “

Xiao Ding said in a deep voice: "That must be that this murderer is usually extremely good at disguise, and even Yue Wuhua doesn't know that his swordsmanship is so fast." “

Ye Rongqiu said: "Since he can ruthlessly kill Yue Wuhua with a sword, why didn't he take advantage of the situation to pick the corpse off the cliff, pick it up with both hands, slowly walk to the edge of the cliff and throw it down?" “

Xiao Ding said: "So I conclude that the murderer must be very familiar with Yue Wuhua, even a close relative, although he had to kill Yue Wuhua, but he couldn't bear to kick him off the cliff with his feet." “

Tang Qingqing sneered: "Do you think this kind of person still has human nature? “

Xiao Ding sighed: "As a human being, how can there be no humanity, it's just that some people are easily disturbed by money, fame and fortune and lose their humanity." Yue Wuhua must have discovered his secret, causing him to have to kill people, the moment he killed someone, Yue Wuhua was no longer a threat to him, and his secret was also preserved, so the humanity in his heart made him uneasy, and he didn't dare to kick the corpse off the cliff again, maybe just because Yue Wuhua was his elder. “

Humanity, sometimes losing humanity is such a terrible thing.

Tang Qingqing took a deep breath, thinking that she had almost been lost, and couldn't help but be afraid for a while, fortunately she met Xiao Ding, and the brilliance emitted by Xiao Ding could dispel all the gloom in her life.

With the night breeze blowing, she feels relaxed and full of hope for the future.

Suddenly, she sniffed gently against the wind, and her face changed.

Ye Rongqiu couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" “

Tang Qingqing hurriedly said: "Don't talk, don't move, quickly take the fire fold out." “

Xiao Ding and Ye Rongqiu lit a fire fold alone, Tang Qingqing's nose fanned, and his hands kept groping on the ground.

Finally, she exclaimed, "Found it!" “

Ye Rongqiu was startled by her voice and asked, "What did you find?" “

Tang Qingbiao looked mysterious, put the things in his hand under the fire fold, and said, "Look, what is this?" “

I saw that she was holding a pill the size of a mung bean in her hand, although the pill was coated with a layer of soil, it was faintly clear that it was a pale green pill.

Xiao Ding snatched the pill and put it in his nostrils and sniffed it vigorously.

Ye Rongqiu was puzzled: "What kind of medicine is this?" Are you so excited? “

Tang Qingqing said with a smile: "This is the Jasper Qingxin Pill, my Tang family's unique antidote, specializing in the poison of all kinds of incense, and has a strong effect of clearing the heart and calming the mind." “

Ye Rongqiu said angrily: "A pill, why are you happy to be like this." “

Tang Qingqing smiled: "Where did this pill come from?" “

Ye Rongqiu rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it just what you grabbed on the ground just now?" “

After speaking, he immediately felt that something was wrong, Tang Qingqing had never been here, so this pill could only be lost by Yue Wuhua and the murderer.

She asked in a trembling voice, "Have you ever seen Daoist Yue Wuhua before?" “

Tang Qingqing shook his head and said, "Never." “

Shhhh But where did the murderer's jasper heart purifying pill come from, Ye Rongqiu was about to ask.

Tang Qingqing looked at Xiao Ding and said with a smile: "I don't even have a jasper heart purifying pill on my body." “

Xiao Ding also smiled: "Of course not, because I have poured all the jasper heart purifying pills on your body into the mouth of Sick Hua Tuo." “

"But before, each of us had a jasper heart purifying pill."

"Yes, we both have it, and of course Qingcheng Sixiu also has it."

……

It turned out that the person who killed Yue Wuhua was actually one of the four Xiu in Qingcheng, but who was he?

Who is the murderer?

Although the mystery is getting smaller and smaller, the three of them still feel at a loss.

Tang Qingqing suddenly smiled and said, "In addition to this, I also found an interesting thing. “

"What's the matter?" Ye Rongqiu and Xiao Ding also asked almost together.

Tang Qingqing pointed at Xiao Ding and smiled: "I found out that you are a little villain." “

Ye Rongqiu didn't understand, and Xiao Ding didn't understand either.

Tang Qingqing couldn't help but smile and asked, "Let me ask you, the depth of the footprints of the murderer you just tried to hold the two of us, is it because the two of us together are the same weight as Yue Wuhua." “

Xiao Ding said: "Yes." ”

Tang Qingqing burst out laughing: "There are so many stones on this mountain, why don't you hold the stones and try it?" ”

Ye Rongqiu's face turned red, yes, did this kid do it on purpose?

Xiao Ding was also stunned, and muttered: "Yes, such a simple method, why didn't I think of it." ”

Tang Qingqing said angrily: "Hmph, I think you did it on purpose." ”

Xiao Ding suddenly kissed both of them on the cheek, jumped up, and fled as if flying.

"I just did it on purpose, what can you do, haha......"
