The sharp wind of the handprint enveloped Qiu Shaohu's body, and the man showed a triumphant smile.

The cold and debris splashed, and a piece of wooden stick flew towards him, "dang" hit him on the head, making people wonder why.

The broken bookshelf collapsed and pressed directly on his body, and the other party screamed again, finally breaking free, seeing that Qiu Shaohu was unscathed and came quickly again, only to realize that he had actually hit a bookshelf just now.

Qiu Shaohu used footwork to disperse the opponent's attack, not only looking for loopholes, but also luring the other party to achieve the goal he wanted, and then launched the ability of the "Hundred Generations Wenzong" of Jiaosu, inducing the other party to treat the bookshelf as his own and take him by surprise.

You've got to pick up things, and I'll steal the beams and change the pillars. In thought, the beginning of the ending was already doomed.

picked up a piece of broken wooden stick as a weapon, Qiu Shaohu waved his hand casually, hitting the opponent's arm, and his arm was out of force. grabbed the other hand on the wrist again, and with the control of the touch, accurately pinched the big tendons, the other party was in pain, and the book of "The Legend of Qien" that he was holding before immediately fell down and fell into his hand.

Since obtaining the Seven Killing Star Position, Qiu Shaohu has a better control over the sense of touch than before, and can often detect fleeting opportunities in the slightest trembling, touching places that people have overlooked.

When the book was in hand, Qiu Shaohu quickly distanced himself from the other party. The goal has been achieved, and there is no point in continuing to fight.

But who is he? Why grab a Chikai novel?

The cold breath suddenly enveloped the whole body. Qiu Shaohu's perception was keen, and he dodged again, the dust in front of him was flying, and another more gloomy grasp spread out in front of him.

Qiu Shaohu's eyes reflected another person on the beam, who was Fang Cai's companion. I didn't even notice when this person appeared, was he there from the beginning, or had he just sneaked in?

The palm prints dissipated in the void, but the sound of the wind never stopped, and the stirring air flow suddenly turned into billowing smoke, rolling around Qiu Shaohu, and forced the book in his hand to blow out again.

Qiu Shaohu was in a hurry, jumped up, and wanted to snatch the book back. The other hand grabbed the book first, and the other took it back. Qiu Shaohu's hand slammed into him, and he immediately retreated. The remaining momentum did not stop, Qiu Shaohu stepped on the ground and took three steps back in a row before he would stand firmly.

His own qi and blood were knocked into a float, and it was difficult to exert force again in a short time. And only snatched back half a book cover and a sleeve of the other party.

The other person saw that Qiu Shaohu still wanted to come again, shook his head at him, and pointed to the other side. Qiu Shaohu turned his head to look, and there was a fire fold on the ground that he had placed on the bookshelf before, which had already fallen at this time. The first person who was knocked down before also understood, and slapped a palm on the fire fold, sparks splashed everywhere, and the books everywhere immediately ignited a raging fire.

Qiu Shaohu was taken aback, seeing that the two of them were leaving while the fire was blowing, and was about to chase after them, "Huh-" With a sound, the fire hose on the roof of the shed burst, and the water potential fell one after another and began to extinguish the fire, and the entire study immediately became like a water curtain hole. The water turns into steam under the heat of the flame, and the transpiration of the mist obscures all senses.

Qiu Shaohu finally found the right direction, stumbled out of the room, and saw the light of day outside. The wind is fresh, but where to find the shadows of those two people?

Qiu Shaohu frowned, turned his head and looked at the sleeve of the person he had just grabbed, a thin layer of senses, cool to the touch, like dry ice, making people unable to distinguish the material.

Qiu Shaohu put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and a familiar smell was immediately noticed by him, "Is it a deerskin?" ”

Chaomen City is close to the sea, leather is scarce, and the locals are definitely not in the habit of wearing deerskin clothes.

So, where will people in Zhao have it?

At this time, he inadvertently saw another thing in his hand, which was the only half of the book cover that he had snatched. On the mutilated paper, there was nothing but the name of the book.

Qiu Shaohu noticed a little detail, looked at it carefully, and immediately thought of another thing, and turned around and ran into the study where the heat had not yet dispersed.

……

As the night deepened, the fire on the stove was completely extinguished. Xu Ju was already struggling to read the book, so he could only close the pages.

He has already read this "New Edition of the Analects", and his gain from the content is even deeper.

At the end of the book, he suddenly noticed something different, a note on the inside of the back cover, which was filled with some information.

"What is this?" Xu Ju took a closer look, "On the third day of February, borrowing?" ”

……

The study was on fire, and when the government learned the news, of course they would immediately send someone to rush there. Hearing the noisy footsteps and anxious firefighting on the wall next door, Qiu Shaohu hid in the corner here, looking at what he had just snatched from the fire.

This is a borrowing list that records the list of books borrowed from the study over a period of time.

From the cover, Qiu Shaohu saw not only the incomplete three words "Qi En Ji", but also the word "down".

This proves that the "Book of Deeds" is actually a book of two parts, divided into upper and lower volumes.

And this "down", when I first arrived, I was competing with those two, but I never saw where the "upper" part was.

Someone must have taken the upper part of the Chin before that.

If you can find each other, you might find out.

Qiu Shaohu consulted the roster, trying to find out who borrowed the upper part of the "Book of Grace" and when.

It didn't take long to find out.

"In the forty-third year of Jingqi, on the third day of the second month, three days before the sting, the upper part of the "Qi En Ji" was borrowed, and the other party did not leave his name."

"Zhao Lin told me that the name is never registered in the study room. Generally speaking, they leave a library card on the last book they borrowed, on which they record their personal information. ”

"The man who borrowed books on the third day of the second month borrowed a total of three books that day. In addition to the "Chien", there are ...... The last book is "The Analects of Confucius", a new ...... from Mangshan Academy"

Qiu Shaohu's face suddenly showed a strange look.

Isn't this the one that the old liar Tang Xun gave him before, and he gave it to Xu Ju?!

In retrospect, Tang Xun also told him before leaving, "This kind of book will be very profitable even if you only look at the cover." ”

He really got it right.

……

As the night deepened, Qiu Shaohu came to Beicheng again to find the thatched cottage he was familiar with.

He wanted to get that book back from Xu Ju, and as compensation, he specially prepared a new copy of the Analects, which was exactly the same as the previous one.

It was also for this reason that I delayed for a while. After all, it is so late that there are not many bookstores open, and it is not easy to buy a book.

In front of the hut, they noticed that the whole place was quiet and inexplicable, and they should have fallen into a deep sleep at this time.

Qiu Shaohu walked in quietly, and saw Xu Ju's ancestors and grandchildren sleeping in the west room, and a woman lying in the east room, guessing that it was Xu Ju's mother, but his father was missing.

They were sleepy, breathing steadily, not as if they were about to get up.

Qiu Shaohu breathed a sigh of relief, trying his best not to bother them anymore because of this matter. Seeing that the "New Edition of the Analects" was placed on the stove, Qiu Shaohu walked over and picked it up, and left another new copy of the "New Edition of the Analects".

At this time, Qiu Shaohu saw the notes recorded on the page of the old book that Xu Ju put aside:

"Those who love their relatives dare not be evil; Those who respect their relatives dare not be slow to others. ”

"Is this a note of what you've learned?" Qiu Shaohu glanced at the sleeping Xu Ju, "Respect the elders, it's really good." However, if the first 'pro' is changed to 'teacher', and the second 'pro' is changed to the emperor, it will become a respect for the teacher and respect for the emperor, and you will immediately be able to vote for the favor of today's Taishi. ”

Qiu Shaohu walked out of the door and immediately checked the borrowing card on the back cover of the book, and sure enough, he found detailed information on it, not only the name of the borrower, the books he borrowed in the past, but also his residence.

"The name of the record is 'Lingdi', and the residence is in ...... It's actually very close. Well, what is this location? ”

Qiu Shaohu looked at it while walking, and when he raised his eyes, he found that the address written on it was not right in front of him?

And this thatched cottage has been here myself. I used to follow the master who was bewitched by the resting place, and they were here to solve the case.

In retrospect, I heard them say at the time that this dead person's house was called "Lingdi" or something.

Spirit? Order?

How it feels, something familiar.

Qiu Shaohu walked to the grass hall suspiciously, and looked down to see a depression in front of the door. In the past two days, officials have come to investigate the case, and they have walked inside and out many times, leaving footprints.

But there is one footprint, and it looks extraordinary.

Qiu Shaohu lowered his body, probed with the keen touch of the Seven Kills, and immediately knew the clue.

"Dusty has been!"

This footprint is deep in front and shallow in the back, and the area is only a little bit, which is different from the steps of ordinary people.

Meng Chen's cultivation to the fivefold realm, the immortal body is as light as a swallow, and it is almost able to fly against the wind, and the habit of walking is to land on the ground with his toes first, so as to leave such a unique footprint.

Dusty has been here, proving that other people on the island have also come.

They will come here and prove that this is ......

"It's the spiritual truth, the person who borrowed the book and the dead turned out to be him!"

Qiu Shaohu understood everything.

The same stranger, one step before he came, died here.
