The three people walking on the way down the mountain did not notice the strange appearance on the mountain, and naturally they did not know that the corpses that the three people had worked so hard to bury were about to be dug up by Gao Yin, who had been following several people for a long time.

Even if they knew that the body had been dug up, they didn't know what Gao Yin was going to do with it, so it seemed that there was no value in knowing.

"Could it be that the Qingyang Sect still doesn't know about this person's death?" Li Xuankong held the token with the word "Fang Lin" written on it in his hand and said, "This identity token should be handed over to Qingyang Sect." ”

"It may also cause unnecessary trouble."

"But he can't just die here."

Wang Qian understood what he meant and didn't speak again.

Xu Huan said curiously: "When you were helped up just now, you seemed to look mysterious, and your hands were not very natural, did you find something?" ”

Wang Qian was surprised: "You have noticed this?" ”

Xu Huan was speechless for a moment, and only said after a while: "Your face doesn't look like it can hide things...... It's too mysterious. ”

Wang Qian looked "this is what you don't understand", slowly stretched out his hand, and revealed the things in his hand in the curious eyes of Li Xuankong and Xu Huan.

"What is this?"

"This was taken from between the teeth of the dead."

Xu Huan opened his eyes wide, looked at it, saw some clues, and asked, "What is this......?" Bitten off the skin? ”

"A slice of meat, to be exact."

It was indeed a tiny piece of flesh with dried blood, shriveled skin.

Li Xuankong was puzzled: "What does this skin mean?" ”

Wang Qian explained: "That one shows that there was some fighting between the two, although this Qingyang Sect disciple died, but the murderer was also bitten by the Qingyang Sect disciple with his teeth, and even tore off a tiny piece of skin and flesh and stuck between the teeth. ”

Xu Huan said thoughtfully: "The scar on the neck is in the throat, which means that the killer strangled this Qingyang Sect disciple from behind, and the only place that can be bitten with his mouth is his hands." ”

Xu Huan's eyes lit up, obviously speaking of interest, and continued: "If you can bite your arm, it means that you haven't restrained this Qingyang Sect disciple at this time, unless the killer has amazing strength, it should be difficult to make the rope continue to move forward in the case of pain, but if it has been strangled or is about to strangle the neck, then only the hand, or even the left and right parts of the finger's mouth, will be bitten." ”

After finishing this set of reasoning without breathing, Xu Huan suddenly felt that this was really the most accomplished mental activity he had ever done this year.

After listening to Xu Huan's words, Li Xuankong was silent for a long time and exclaimed: "Brother Xu, you are really powerful. ”

Xu Huan hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly: "It's all nonsense, what's so powerful." ”

Li Xuankong suddenly smiled, "I'm not good at these things, in my eyes, Brother Xu is indeed very powerful." ”

Wang Qian coughed and said proudly: "What you said is very reasonable, but these are also what I want to say." ”

"Brother Wang is naturally not ordinary......" Xu Huan knew that this guy wanted to be praised twice, and he praised two sentences in response, but he didn't know if what he said was sincere, and the truth in his words accounted for a few points.

"No, I naturally know that I am very unusual." Wang Qian felt that Xu Huan's praise was too deliberate, and he didn't have any sincerity, so he decisively interrupted the other party.

After thinking about it, Li Xuankong said slowly: "Although this piece of skin and flesh is very small, it is the result of being dried and atrophied for a long time. In this way, the murderer should have a dented scar on his hand. ”

Xu Huan recalled that he didn't have much impression of Wang Fugui's hand, maybe he should make sure? It doesn't feel like he did it, but a lot of things don't come out of the senses.

"Whatever you say, let's talk about it." Wang Qian patted Xu Huan tiredly and said, "This is just a small episode on the road, shouldn't Daochang Li still want to experience the investigation of the case?" ”

"Naturally not, but I have a vague hunch."

"Premonition?"

"I have a feeling that we will meet this person soon." Li Xuankong smiled: "There is a certain number in the underworld, so we will meet this corpse, right?" ”

"That's a bit far-fetched."

Xu Huan thought to himself that what Wang Qian said was right, this explanation was indeed far-fetched, but it seemed that people didn't know how to refute it.

"Anyway, let's go back first." Wang Qian urged: "I've been staying in Fengyang Town for some time, it's time to move on." ”

Li Xuankong nodded in agreement, thinking in his heart that this road was rugged, and the question of where to go next, subconsciously took out a compass that he didn't know where to hide.

Xu Huan looked at the familiar compass in Li Xuankong's hand, took a closer look at it carefully, saw the familiar crack on the compass, blinked, wanted to say and stopped, and finally held back the doubts in his heart.

...

...

It's still night.

Xu Huan stood in front of the inn, looking at the empty and rugged streets, looking at a few people passing by by accidentally, blowing the wind that was whistling at first but gradually decreasing with time, and his clothes fluttered with the wind.

People will fall into thoughts when they have nothing to do in an empty and quiet place, so Xu Huan thought of Yunyan Town again.

Thinking of Yunyan Town naturally includes the memories of the period from the time I can remember to the time I left Yunyan Town, but memory is not something that can suddenly pour out like a flood, but flashes a little bit intermittently.

"Brother Xu." A voice sounded behind him, breaking Xu Huan's contemplation.

Xu Huan turned his head and saw Li Xuankong walking out of the light of the debris that was beating on the ground.

Li Xuankong walked to Xu Huan's side, raised his head to meet the faint moonlight, the tassels on the peach wood sword behind him were still falling vertically as if they had just met, without any entanglement, Xu Huan wanted to carefully observe whether his hair was also as messy as this tassel, but the light was too dark after all.

Xu Huan felt that it was really embarrassing for two people to stand like this, so he wanted to try to find some topics, but Li Xuankong was not a person like Wang Qian after all. Li Xuankong doesn't seem to be good at words, even if he has a gentle and kind personality and respectful words between his words, it can't help but make people feel that there seems to be some distance between the two.

And because he rarely communicated with a few people along the way, although Xu Huan first knew him between the two, it was Wang Qian who was more familiar with him.

Since there wasn't much communication, Xu Huan naturally didn't know what to say, but he just remembered the incident in Yunyan Town, and was about to talk about the first encounter, when he thought that the other party would open his mouth first.

Li Xuankong asked with concern: "Brother Xu, these days...... Can you still adapt? ”

Xu Huan nodded, "It's quite adaptable." ”

"That'll be fine."

After saying this, Li Xuankong suddenly didn't know what to say, probably because the evening breeze was blowing tonight, and his thoughts were blown away by the wind.

Xu Huan thought to himself why he and Daochang Li would be cold if they didn't say a word, which was unheard of in his fifteen-year career.

But before Xu Huan could say anything, Li Xuankong thought of the next topic and asked, "Brother Xu, what are your plans in the future?" ”

"Plans? If we can survive this crisis...... Probably hoping to see the scenery outside and become a spiritual cultivator or something, but I don't have any big ideals in life. ”

"I don't think we can't get through it safely...... In addition, no matter what the ideal is, if it can be realized, it is amazing. ”

"Brother Li, what are your plans?" Xu Huan also asked curiously.

"If you can continue to stay in the mountains and get along with your younger brothers and sisters, it is naturally best to run around the master." As if imagining the scene of life on the mountain, the corners of Li Xuankong's mouth hooked up an imperceptible smile.

Xu Huan suddenly said with emotion: "It's really amazing to say, a few days ago, I was selling items with my second uncle in the grocery store, and as a result, I was involved in a dispute between spiritual cultivators, and today I will go to Daoist Li's sect with you." ”

Li Xuankong's spotless clothes were bathed in the bright moonlight, showing a trace of divine solemnity, and he slowly spoke: "Brother Xu, do you believe that there is a certain number in the underworld? ”

Xu Huan didn't expect Li Xuankong to be extraordinary when he opened his mouth, and at this time, he just recalled the emotion in his heart at the beginning, thinking that the master is the master, and if he doesn't speak, he will be so extraordinary.

Xu Huan saw that he asked such an extraordinary question, and thought that he had to say an extraordinary answer to match it, so Xu Huan put his hands behind his back and said lightly with an indifferent face: "I don't believe in fixed numbers, I only believe in artificiality." ”

When a person grows up to a certain age, he often feels ashamed when he accidentally recalls a certain sentence he said when he was young, but Xu Huan often reflects on his good habits afterwards, so after saying this sentence, he constantly recalls his own image of a master in his mind, but the more he recalls, the more wrong it becomes, and finally after a memory, the image of a master in his mind collapses, leaving only a feeling of shame.

If this sentence is said by a big person like the Holy Ancestor, the world will definitely admire and exclaim, and if it is said by an old man with a very high rank, the world will definitely feel and understand it and chew on the beauty of it. However, this was uttered by an ordinary fifteen-year-old boy, and in front of a spiritual practitioner.

Xu Huan realized that he was not only stupid now, but also couldn't control this shocking answer, so he became more and more ashamed, but fortunately, the light was dim at night, and his expression was not obvious. Fortunately, he faced Li Xuankong instead of Wang Qian.

Li Xuankong looked at Xu Huan and said, "Brother Xu, you are really unusual. ”

Xu Huan couldn't tell whether this was irony or irony for a while, although Li Xuankong spoke very seriously, and basically didn't say anything about jokes or irony, but maybe tonight was the first time?

Li Xuankong didn't know that his sincere praise had been maliciously speculated by Xu Huan, at this time he was looking far ahead, and said, "I believe that there is a certain number in the dark. ”
