As soon as they and Shen He said it, he immediately agreed with their plan. "The things you mentioned about the little porcelain man show that the problem is not so simple at all. It's wicked! And! And there's one more point: do you think that by all the things that have happened so far, the approach of the people behind this is to let us do it ourselves? ”

"Speak plainly, man."

"Listen, what I mean is this: as soon as he screamed last night, that hairy boy Fang Yulong couldn't stand it and committed suicide by taking poison. That Qin Zhong couldn't stand it anymore and killed his wife! It's all at the mercy of the people behind it. Nangong Jin shook his head and emphasized the issue of poison again. Shen He agrees with this. "To be honest, I forgot about that, and it's rare to carry it around with me. But how did it get to his wine, Divine Doctor? ”

Monk Yuanzhen said: "I have been pondering this question. Last night, Fang Yulong drank more than one glass. There was a short gap between his last drink and his last, and his cup was resting on the table or something. I think about it—not too sure, probably on that little table by the window. The windows are open. Maybe someone secretly added some poison to it. Shen He said in disbelief: "Escaped the eyes of all of us, master?" ”

Monk Yuanzhen said coldly: "We are all busy with other things. ”

Nangong Jin said slowly: "It's true. We were all scared. Everyone was circling around the room, shouting, but they were annoyed! Patronizing himself to talk about his own business. I think it's still possible......" Shen He shrugged his shoulders. "It's clear, it must be done this way! That's all for you, let's do it! Did anyone happen to have the guy with them? Maybe it will be useful, after all, the person we are searching for is hiding in the shadows, and what if he jumps over the wall when we find his hiding place? ”

Monk Yuanzhen said: "I brought a good guy in the room." So he went to his room. It didn't take long for me to come back with something. Shen He's eyes widened, and he said in a voice that pretended to be careless but obviously overdone: "The master actually still has this, if I am not mistaken, this is the first-class secret weapon of the Tang Sect - the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle, right?" ”

Yuan Zhen said: "This is what I asked someone to carefully build before I became a monk, to be honest, I can't put it down, so I used to carry it when I went out, and I didn't expect to use it." ”

"In this way, before becoming a monk, the master was also a person who begged for a living on the tip of the knife," Shen He continued, "Now there is this guy." We don't have to worry about it together! If there is such a madman hiding on the island, we don't need to be too afraid - of course, I will also punch and kick twice, and I can defend myself in case of emergency. Nangong Jin coughed dryly and said, "Maybe you're wrong about this, Shen He!" Murderers are not necessarily martial arts masters who show their teeth and claws and fight hard. They may also be easy-going characters in Svenven. ”

Shen He said: "I can't feel that the one on this island will be this kind of person, a divine doctor." ”

The three of them began to circle around the island. I didn't expect it to be so simple. The northwest corner of the island, that is, the side facing the coast of the mainland, is a straight cliff that plunges into the bottom of the sea, and the cliff wall is a smooth one. The rest of the island has no trees and is almost exposed. The three minifigures searched carefully and methodically, and really walked the entire Qingfeng Island up and down from the top of the island to the water's edge. Inch by inch, not even the slightest unusual fold of rock or any possible path to the cave is missed. However, there are no holes, and there are no holes! They walked around the water's edge, and finally came to the place where Cao Bao sat alone overlooking the water and sky. Here, only the cascading waves crash against the reef and splash the waves, and it is very peaceful! The old man sat upright, staring at the horizon with stunned eyes. When the group of island searchers walked by, he didn't pay any attention. This indifference made at least one of the three feel a little uneasy.

Shen He thought to himself, "This is not right—he looks like he has fallen into some kind of demon." He cleared his throat and put on a posture ready to talk for a while, "You're going to find yourself a nice place to cozy, chief dart." Cao Bao frowned, glanced back and said, "I don't have much time left—too little." I beg you not to bother me. ”

Shen He said very kindly: "We won't bother you. We're just walking around the island, let's put it this way. It's just a little suspicious that maybe someone is hiding on the island. The head of the dart still frowned and said, "You don't understand—you don't understand at all, please go away." Shen He walked away. He walked over to the other two and said, "He's crazy...... Talk to him, it's useless. Yuan Zhen asked a little curiously, "What did he say?" Shen He shrugged his shoulders: "Time is running out, he doesn't want others to disturb him." Nangong Jin also frowned. He muttered, "Now, I'm worried about ......"

Three

The search for the island was over, and the three of them stood on the commanding heights of the whole island and looked down on the mainland in the distance, there were no ships out to sea, the sea breeze was blowing, and the smell of the sea was getting stronger and stronger. Yuan Zhen said: "There are no ships going to sea, it seems that a storm is coming." The nerve-wracking thing is that there is no village in sight, and there is no way to send a signal or anything. Shen He said: "Let's build a bonfire tonight." Yuan Zhen frowned and said, "The bad is that maybe these are all arranged." ”

"What do you think of the arrangement?"

"How do I know? Maybe it's a joke or something. Banish us to this island, ignore any signals you give, and so on. For example, tell the people in the village that the people on the island are playing games. Anyway, it's okay to talk nonsense. Shen He said in disbelief: "Do you think the people in the village believe it?" Yuan Zhen said coldly: "Hmph, there are still people who believe the fake than the real one!" If someone told the villagers, leave the island alone, and wait until someone quietly killed all his guests—do you think they would believe it? Nangong Jin said: "At first, even I didn't believe it anyway, but now I ......" Yuan Zhen bit his lip with his teeth and said: "Now - that's it!" Divine doctor, that's what you said! Shen He stared at the water and said, "I don't think anyone will climb under the water!" ”

Nangong Jin shook his head. "I don't think so. Besides, it's so steep, where can you hide people? Shen He said. Maybe there are holes in the cliff face. Now if there is a boat, we can make a circle around the island. "If there is a boat, we are all on our way back to shore."

"That's right, Shen He." Yuan Zhen suddenly said: "We can get to the bottom of this cliff. There's only one place to hide people here - just below on the right. Which of you can get a rope to put me down and find out. ”

Shen He said: "It's better to figure it out." Although, at first glance - it seems quite ridiculous. I'll look for it and see if I can get a rope or something. He ran straight into the house. Yuan Zhen looked at the sky, the clouds were gathering, and the wind was intensifying. He glanced sideways at Nangong Jin and said, "You are very calm, divine doctor." What are you thinking? ”

Nangong Jin said slowly: "I'm wondering how crazy the old dart head Cao Bao is......"

All morning, Liang Feiyan was restless, she was hiding from Master Huayun. Mrs. Hua Yun made her feel scared, and she felt that she hated Mrs. Hua Yun a little. As for Mrs. Hua Yun, she took a chair and sat in the corner of the house, just avoiding the wind duct. She sat there with a bead in her hand. As long as Liang Feiyan thought of her, it was as if she saw a gray-white drowned face, with aquatic plants wrapped around her hair...... This face used to be beautiful—to the point where it might have taken nothing into account—but now it has no pity or fear. Master Hua Yun was too calm and composed, sitting solemnly and turning the Buddha beads in his hand. On the large platform, Lu Feng curled up in a chair for the porter, his head almost shrunk to his neck. When Liang Feiyan looked at him, it was as if he saw the person standing in the lobby - Dong Qing, a young man with dark eyes, beautiful hair, and a confused and frightened face. In her imagination, she seemed to see Lu Feng pick up the token with her aging hands and start reading the verdict...... After a while, Liang Feiyan walked towards the beach, and she walked along the beach until she reached the end of the island. An old man was sitting there staring stupidly at the horizon. Cao Bao saw her approaching and moved. He turned his head—a look of doubt, confusion, and strangeness on his face. Liang Feiyan was deeply surprised. Cao Bao stared at her for a long time. She thought to herself, "How weird. It's as if he already knows ......"

He said, "Ah! It turned out to be you! Are you here ......" Liang Feiyan sat down beside him and said, "Do you like to sit here and watch the sea?" He nodded kindly. Yes," he said, "it's fascinating!" I see, it's really a great place to wait. ”

"Wait?" Liang Feiyan immediately said, "What are you waiting for?" He still said kindly, "The end of the world." But I thought you already knew, did you? Isn't that true? We are all waiting for our own ends. At this point, she couldn't even speak: "What do you mean by that?" ”

Cao Bao said solemnly: "None of us can do without this island. This was arranged by someone. Of course, you know this perfectly. Maybe you still don't realize that this may be a relief for us. Liang Feiyan asked puzzledly, "Liberation?" He said, "Yes." Of course, you're still too young...... You haven't touched on this issue yet. However, this question is coming! When a person realizes that he is powerless, he will choose to accept it calmly, that is, thank God waiting for relief. One day you will feel this way......" Liang Feiyan said hoarsely, "I don't understand what you are talking about. She felt her fingers spasm. Suddenly, the quiet old dart master became afraid. He said happily: "Let me tell you, I respect Huang Zifeng, and I also like Yang Hong." They are all very good to me......" Liang Feiyan asked him, "Who are they?" ”

"It's my master and brother, they really taught me a lot, although I didn't learn everything, but I learned something that they didn't teach me, or they didn't know at all. But I can't help but love my sister, so I have to learn something and do something for her. He was silent for a while, and then said, "Yes, I did this because of my love for my junior sister. Liang Feiyan said, "You mean—" She stopped.

Cao Bao nodded calmly: "It's useless to deny it now—it's over if you deny it." It was I who sent my master to his death. I think that's a kind of murder. How strange it sounds. Murder – and I had been law-abiding until then. But at the time I had no choice. Of course, I don't regret doing that. Although some people have been sacrificed, I think so. But then ......" Liang Feiyan's voice changed, and she asked, "What happened?" He shook his head in disbelief, looking confused and a little sad. I do not know. I don't really know. Nothing has changed anyway. I don't know if my sister saw something, but I don't think it should be, after all, it's all over ....... But I gradually felt that she was so distant from me that I couldn't get close to her no matter what I did. Then she died—and I was left alone......"

Liang Feiyan said, "Alone—alone—" An echo of her words came from the other side of the rock.

Cao Bao suddenly smiled: "When the end comes, you will also be happy." Liang Feiyan stood up and said sharply, "I don't understand what you mean. He said, "I know you, girl, I know what you think......"

"You don't understand, you don't understand anything."

Cao Bao looked at the sea again, as if she didn't know that she was standing behind. While he was still whispering, "Master, senior brother and my beloved junior sister, I think we will meet again soon......"

Five

When Shen He came back from the house with a loop of rope on his arm, in the original place, he saw Nangong Jin staring down at the water! Shen He breathlessly said, "Where is Master Yuanzhen?" ”

Nangong Jin replied nonchalantly: "Go and confirm his thoughts or something, and I'll be back in a while." Listen to me, Shen He, I'm really worried. ”

"I mean we're all worried." Nangong Jin waved his hand impatiently: "Of course, of course." I didn't mean that, I was thinking about the problem of Mr. Cao's dart. ”

"What's wrong with him?" Nangong Jin's tone of reply was ruthless: "What we are looking for may be a madman, do you think it is possible for Mr. Cao's dart?" Shen He couldn't believe his ears anymore. He said, "You mean he's the one behind the design?" ”

Nangong Jin said suspiciously: "I shouldn't have said that. At least not right now. Of course, when it comes to psychosis, I'm not good at it. Actually, I didn't talk to him properly – I didn't study him from that perspective. ”

Shen He said suspiciously: "Say that he is old and confused, I agree!" But I won't say he's ......" Nangong Jin didn't let him continue, trying his best to calm himself down. "Maybe you're right. Hell, there must be someone hiding on this island! Look, Master Yuan Zhen is here. ”

They carefully tied the rope tightly.

Monk Yuanzhen said: "I will try to pay attention to myself." You just have to pay attention to whether the rope is suddenly tightened. Nangong Jin stood there with Shen He and watched Yuan Zhen climb down, and after a while, Shen He said softly: "Look at him crawling like a cat, right?" There was something else in his breath. Nangong Jin said: "I think he must have had some experience in mountain climbing before. ”

"Maybe." Both men were silent. After a cup of tea, the former catcher spoke: "In short, this Master Yuanzhen is very unusual, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"What?"

"He's very different." Nangong Jin said in disbelief: "How can you see it? Shen He muttered a few words. Then he said, "I don't know — specifically. But I won't trust him at all. Nangong Jin said: "I think he must have been a ruthless man before he became a monk." ”

Shen He said: "If you want to say that the rivers and lakes are ruthless, I bet that he has done a lot of unsightly things." He paused and continued, "Do you think the secret weapon he brought is like that of ordinary people? Nangong Jin glared stupidly and said, "I don't know about this, maybe the martial arts people will bring it, right?" Shen He said: "It seems that you don't know about this kind of person, that weapon is not something that ordinary people can have, the Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle is a unique secret weapon of the Tang Sect, once it is used, the opponent will definitely die." Besides, don't you forget that he's a monk? ”

Nangong Jin said suspiciously: "But he didn't say it - because he likes this secret weapon, he is used to carrying it everywhere." Shen He snorted in his nose. The rope suddenly tightened. For a while, they clasped their hands together. Later, the rope was loosened again, and Shen He said, "He said he was used to it!" Doesn't it just explain his identity and habits before he became a monk, anyway, I'm sure he is not a good person. Nangong Jin just listened and didn't speak, but he also had his own opinion in his heart.

Just when the two of them were silent, Yuan Zhen's voice suddenly came, "There is no cave down here, there may be something hidden in it, Shen He, you hurry down and go with me to have a look, as for the divine doctor, go and call everyone over."

Six

Shen He walked slowly along the rope, he looked at the blue sea far away below, and couldn't help but be a little worried in his heart, he said in his heart: If the rope is broken suddenly, it will be over if it falls, and I won't know how to water if it is bottomless below. Fortunately, he didn't climb down for long. Seeing a small hole exposed on the hanging wall, he immediately understood that this should be what Yuan Zhen said, so he shouted: Master Yuan Zhen, you are inside. It didn't take long to hear Yuan Zhen's familiar voice coming: This is it, you come in quickly. Shen He looked at the entrance of the cave, it was not good to enter directly, but he didn't dare to jump directly there, so he thought that he could shake the rope and swing himself over, so after trying a few times, he finally entered the hole, and after getting up, he looked at the cliff behind him, and felt a little afraid in his heart. I want to accidentally fall, but I am afraid that I will end up with no bones. He looked back at the cave again, only to feel that it was pitch black, he shouted Master Yuanzhen, and after walking forward for a while, he saw that there seemed to be light in front of him, so he continued to move forward along the bright place. As the light became more and more apparent, he saw a person standing not far away, motionless. He looked at the person carefully as he walked forward, and after a while he saw that the person was Yuan Zhen, Shen He quickened his pace, and shouted in his mouth: I said that the master didn't wait for me, so he came here by himself. He said that he saw that Yuan Zhen didn't answer, but was still looking at something carefully, so Shen He looked at the place where he looked, and soon he also saw clearly, where there was actually a mahogany coffin, and incense was lit next to the coffin. A few large candles have burned more than half of them. Shen He thought that something was wrong, his feet sped up a few points, and soon he came to the coffin, the coffin lid had been opened, and there was a peaceful old man lying in the coffin, and there was a dark and quaint wooden box on the old man's chest, but he didn't know what was inside. Shen He looked at it and hurriedly asked, "Who is the person lying in this coffin, does the master know?" ”

Yuan Zhen didn't look at him, but he replied: This is Ouyang Xun, the owner of Qingfeng Island.

"No, how can the master be so sure that it's him, could it be that the master has seen Ouyang Senior before"

"I've never seen it, but you went around to the coffin yourself, and there was his spirit tablet in front of it."

When Shen He heard him say this, he hurriedly walked around to the front of the coffin, and sure enough, he saw a spirit tablet with the words Qingfeng Sword Ouyang Xun's spiritual position written on it. Shen He was surprised after reading it: Senior Ouyang has passed away, who would have invited us here, and who arranged everything that happened on the island.

Yuan Zhi said: We only know now that the person behind it is definitely not Ouyang Xun, but this person can understand the relationship between Ouyang Xun and us, and can imitate his handwriting to send us letters, and I think he is also an extremely close person around him.

"The master means that the old servant named Liang Da said."

"Anyway, I haven't seen him yet, and it is said that he has been following Ouyang Xun around"

"I can only say that he is the most suspicious, we need to find him first, but if it is really him, why did he do it?"

"I don't know, but I don't think it's time to think about what his reason is, the most important thing at the moment is to find him as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know what he will do to us later, but now he is in the light and in the dark."

"The master's analysis is reasonable, then let's wait for everyone to come, and then look for it together."

"The end of this hole is here, I've already seen it, let's go out, now only the yard where we live has not been searched, let's go there again to search, I hope to find this person hiding in the dark, otherwise it will ......"

Seven

By the time they got back to the surface, there were already quite a few people coming. Monk Yuanzhen took a look, except for Cao Bao, everyone else was there. Liang Feiyan was the first to ask: What did the two of you find down there?

Yuan Zhendao: Let's talk about it on the road, now let's hurry to the house where we live. We need to search the house right now and see if we can find the person. Yuan Zhen said that, he took the lead and walked towards the house, and after the others were a little stunned, they all followed. On the way, Shen He briefly described what they saw in the cave to everyone. Everyone was amazed for a while, and then they began to talk about it. Wait until they come to the front of the courtyard. Yuan Zhendao: Leave two people to guard down and then we will search one room at a time.

Half an hour later, when they came out of the last room upstairs with their miscellaneous items. Everyone was silent, just because they didn't find anything after such a toss. Land Breeze was the first to return to normalcy. He said, "Now it seems that there is no one else on the island except the eight of us who came!"
