Chapter 635: Clues
Although the strange creatures have appeared in this world for a long time, there is too little understanding of them in the rivers and lakes.
Most people in the rivers and lakes may not even be able to see a strange thing once in their lifetime, even if they are lucky or bad, they will die at the hands of the strange thing.
So even Yin Susu can't talk about how much he knows about tricks.
Song Xing looked at the sky-high fire in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, the original Longmen Dart Bureau's extermination case was already confusing enough.
Now it seems that the water in it seems to be deeper than the West Lake outside.
Who was the person who set fire to the Dragon Gate Dart Board? What is the purpose of this to disguise?
In the eyes of those who care, it is no secret that trickery kills people, what is this fire that wants to burn?
The painting?
Thinking of the painting, Song Xing turned his head to look at Yin Susu, "With this fire, the Longmen Dart Bureau is gone, and the clue of the trick is broken again, it seems that we have to visit Mr. Zhu Da again." ”
Yin Susu thought about it, nodded, and admitted that what Song Xing said made sense.
Now that the clue of the strange thing is broken again, if it deliberately can't hide it and stop killing people, it will be even more difficult to find it.
Then the only person who can find it now is the mysterious Mr. Zhu Da.
Instructed Bai Gui Shou to watch the scene here and not let anyone in or out, Yin Susu turned around and rushed towards Feilai Peak again.
The second time, he was familiar with the way to Feilai Peak and came to the tiled house where Mr. Zhu Da lived in seclusion, but before he got close, Song Xing noticed that something was wrong.
The room was too quiet for any sound, which sounded completely abnormal to him.
"Mr. Zhu Da, Mr. Zhu Da!"
Yin Susu shouted a few times, but when he saw that there was no reaction inside, his face changed, and he didn't care about etiquette and broke into the door directly.
And the scene seen behind the door made several people's faces change abruptly.
Under the dim light in front of the tile house, there was a reclining chair, and Mr. Zhu Da, who had just been separated from them for a short time, was lying there quietly, with a book in his hand, but he was completely out of breath.
Zhang Cuishan rushed forward and stretched out his hand to probe Mr. Zhu's snort, but found that the old man's body was already cold.
"How so?"
Song Xing looked at Mr. Zhu Da's corpse, pondered for a moment and analyzed: "Is the real purpose of using the fire of the Dragon Gate Dart Game to attract our attention is to get rid of Mr. Zhu Da?" ”
Yin Susu blamed himself a little: "So, we brought disaster to Mr. Zhu? If we hadn't come to him, he wouldn't have been killed. ”
At this time, Zhang Cuishan, who had finished examining the corpse, raised his head: "I couldn't find a fatal wound, but it seems that there is a poison in the body, it was poisoned by someone, and the murderer should have mixed the poisonous gas into the wind and was inhaled by Mr. Zhu Da." ”
Yin Susu was surprised: "What a clever poisoning method, is there such a master in Lin'an City?" ”
Song Xing opened his mouth and said, "Why can't it be a trick? ”
The two thought about it for a while, and felt that what Song Xing said was also reasonable, and Mr. Zhu Da might have died at the hands of tricks.
"It seems that the painting of the Longmen Dart Bureau hides a secret that cannot be seen, first the thirty-seven mouths of the Longmen Dart Bureau, and then Mr. Zhu Da, is it for us next?" Song Xing turned his head, stared at the dark night outside, and said softly.
Zhang Cuishan's anger welled up in his heart, "It's best to come, I'm still worried that I can't find that thing." ”
Since he came to Lin'an City, he has been constrained everywhere, first he was framed, and in order to prove his innocence, the clues he found were destroyed one after another, and his patience has long been to the limit.
"Since Mr. Zhu Da has been killed, it shows that the origin of that thing may be in this tiled house," Song Xing looked at the tiled house behind him and ordered, "Let's see if there are any clues in the house." ”
Entering the house and lighting the lights, everyone began to look at Mr. Zhu Da's house, which was full of books, and the bookshelves alone filled the four walls.
"What do you see is that?"
Yin Susu suddenly pointed to the corner, and his tone was slightly raised, obviously surprised.
Everyone looked in the direction she indicated and saw an ancient painting, but this ancient painting did not have the slightest color.
The scroll hangs on the wall, revealing half of the picture like a piece of cloth solidified by ink, without any color, revealing strangeness everywhere.
Yin Susu walked over and carefully picked up the colorless scroll, "This painting...... There is a problem. ”
When the scroll is unfolded, she can see that the upper part of the painting is composed of five different pigments, representing metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are the foundation of yin and yang, and the foundation of all things in heaven and earth.
Among them, the most conspicuous are red and green, green is the auxiliary color, representing the spirituality of plants and trees, and red is the main body, representing sunshine and enthusiasm, representing vitality.
It contrasts sharply with the hued dead gray of the lower half of the painting.
"This painting looks like it was drawn by Mr. Zhu Da, and I can't see anything special." Chi Xin stared at the painting for a long time, but didn't see any doorway.
Yin Susu shook his head, pointed to the painting and said: "Look at the ink here is not dry, this painting is clearly made not long ago, and it should even be when we just came down the mountain, Mr. Zhu Da should have found something, but he didn't tell us." After we left, he seemed to want to leave the clue in the painting. It is estimated that he was killed just after completing this painting. ”
She stared at the painting and looked closely, trying to find out the code words that Mr. Zhu Da left before he died.
Yin Susu was observing the painting, while Song Xing looked around at the bookshelves, he knew that Mr. Zhu Da was erudite, but he didn't expect that there would be so many books in this small tiled house.
The books are very neatly arranged, and even the top of the bookshelf does not see a trace of dust, apparently because the owner usually wipes it diligently.
Song walked to the nearest bookshelf and found that it was full of strange books and miscellaneous records from various dynasties and dynasties.
He flipped through two miscellaneous books, most of which were about anecdotes and anecdotes, but there was nothing useful.
At this time, Yin Susu stood up, rolled up the painting in front of him, and said: "Since Mr. Zhu said that the trick came from the painting, it is estimated that the fire of the Longmen Dart Bureau will not burn the painting so easily, maybe the painting is still in Lin'an City." ”
Song Xing nodded in agreement, "The Dragon Gate Dart Bureau was fine before, which means that the painting should have fallen into the hands of Du Dajin recently." Du Dajin has been in contact with someone before, and if he sends someone to investigate, there may be clues. ”
Yin Susu said: "I'll arrange for Bai Guishou to take someone to check later." ”
Song Xing also instructed: "Chi Xin, the Haisha Gang also sent people to investigate, you are familiar with the people of the three sects and the nine streams in Lin'an City, and I will hand it over to you." ”
After finishing the order, Song Xing looked around, didn't see Mr. Zhu Da's black sheep, and felt a little strange in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Then again, Mr. Zhu Da said that only on the battlefield where a large number of deaths occur will strange things be born. It seems that there has been no large-scale killing in Lin'an City over the years, why did the strange thing appear here? ”
When the Mongols captured Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, because of the non-resistance of the Southern Song court, the army entered the city smoothly, so it did not slaughter the city as in the past.
In the following decades, although the Yuan court ruled Lin'an harshly, it was far from the extent of the birth of strange things.
Therefore, Song Xing guessed in his heart that the strange things that appeared in Lin'an City had other sources?
