Chapter 171: Old Marks and New Sights

On the bright street, the corpses of the servants stirred up chaos.

Turning back is the yamen of Xianrentai, and there is no need to wait for the official.

Pei Ye and the others only waited for a few breaths, and a team of people poured out from Xianrentai to lock the scene. The four of them were all famous people with surnames, and after asking the head and tail, several people sat in the Xianrentai wing.

Wu Dong personally questioned here.

This crane inspector also looked solemn, and looked at Pei Ye, who was sitting in front of him, and opened his pen: "Are you sure it's exactly the same as that day?" ”

"All the same, I looked back, and the mask disappeared without a sign." Pei Ye frowned.

After seeing this terrifying appearance for a long time, staying with this crane will actually give people a sense of security, and sitting in the room where the candle is burning at this time, the hair standing on Pei Li's body has gradually fallen.

"Still. The situation is different after all. He added.

Wudong nodded: "Of course, above the three-fold Tibetan Pavilion and the market, the three Xuanmen and one Sisheng are at the moment, and the difficulty of this happening is not the same." ”

"On the other hand, what is he doing with this mask?" Wudong looked at the boy, "Is there anything special about that side?" ”

"I don't see anything special."

"Well, I can't get it back anyway, and if it's not special, there's nowhere to trace it - I can't even touch the tail of the five scrolls of Soul Snatching now." Wudong's tone was slightly worse, "However, it doesn't affect the analysis of this case." ”

Pei Ye was silent for a moment: "Yes, the key is that I can't figure out this behavior." ”

The crane inspector quickly wrote a few lines in the book: "Passing some secret messages through buying and selling is a common method used by these rats and insects, and it has always been very effective. ”

Pei Ye understood a little: "Oh, that's it." But "

"But why did he take this mask in front of you?" Wudong looked at him with burning eyes.

"Yes."

There was silence in the room.

Pei Ye said softly: "I think he deliberately alarmed me." ”

"I think so." Wudong leaned back and stared at the beam, "The key to this matter is not the mask, he wants you to pay attention to this vendor." And not afraid that you know his motives. ”

Why him?

Who would do such a thing?

Pei Li pondered: "Before, Lord Sui said that this ability to take things out of thin air probably belongs to the Sun Swallowing Society. ”

"Then the peddler is a happy death building." Wu Dong Dao, "For the time being, this is such a thing - the Sun Swallowing Society deliberately revealed the shortcomings of the Happy Death Building to us." ”

"Isn't there anything else?"

"Absolutely." Wudong raised his eyes and glanced at him, "You can guess at will, but the judgment with support is here." ”

Pei Ye still didn't feel right: "We will meet with the swallowing sun. Is it on one side now? ”

"At least there is a unified goal." "Tianshan said that Huan Death Building may not have succeeded, but the Swallowing Sun Society followed them closely to Bowang. Therefore, in fact, at present, only Huan Death Lou knows the full face of the matter, and at this stage of this matter, the Swallowing Sun Society is not our first enemy. ”

Pei Ye nodded slowly.

In fact, for him, this matter has a more unique importance.

In the Mie Pavilion that day, after the case file disappeared, the black cat said that it had sensed something. But after this incident, Pei Ye asked the shadow, but did not get a unanimous answer.

The black cat is quite sure that it doesn't.

Either he felt something else that day, or it had to meet certain conditions in order for it to be felt by him, or.

Pei Ye was silent for a while.

But in any case, it was the first time he had caught a little bit of the tail of it. The man who had disappeared was nowhere to be found, but at least the vendor's body remained here. Of course, he had to get to the bottom of it and follow closely.

On the other side, Wudong was already asking the two of them.

"The two of us just met by chance." Zi Huang said with a calm face, "When we pass by the Immortal Terrace."

"You're not." Wudong looked at him and interrupted.

β€œ.”

β€œ.”

"Tell the truth." Wudong lowered his head and turned the page with a pen.

The room was quiet again, and even began to tense a little.

Pei Ye knew that what Wudong said was right, because no one should have discovered this hawker's abnormality faster than him, and the performance of the two of them at that time was obviously that they had been staring at this person for a long time.

But the Jianghu sect and the Xianrentai.

β€œ.” Zihuang was silent for a moment, "No comment. ”

The atmosphere suddenly tensed again.

Wudong's face remained unchanged: "Then we have to go through the process that should be followed"

Qinghuang hurriedly got up and bowed to Wudong and bowed apologetically: "Wuhe inspection, my brother has no intention of offending, please check your records first." ”

Wudong raised his eyes to look at Qinghuang, raised his hand back slightly, and after a while, someone came with a drawer of case files.

The four words "Baizhu Pavilion One" were engraved on it, and the hand without a hole crossed it and fell to the [Second ElderΒ·' Zihuang 'Xu Jianzheng] paused for a quarter.

Pei Li's eyes fell, and a scarlet seal came into view.

"Shenjing can be checked and available, don't chase about the events of July and August of the Xin Si year and its spread."

Pei Ye was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Zi Huang, this tall and fiery senior actually couldn't see the appearance of losing the meridian tree, he looked straight at the floor, and his two broad hands were clasped together.

Qinghuang said softly: "Brother She. I had encountered some things before, and I had been unable to settle down for the past month, so I accompanied him to wander around looking for him, with no purpose or plan. ”

Without a hole, he slowly closed the lid of the drawer: "Since Shenjing has covered the stamp, I won't ask about this matter, and you should try to stay away from the matter of the happy death building, so as not to add to the fog." ”

Zihuang nodded slightly.

"A big errand and a small errand." Wudong sighed and glanced at Zihuang, "I advise you to let go as soon as possible, if the things that Shenjing Immortal Terrace swept over, if you really find out, it will be shameless." ”

"Alright." In just a few sentences, this crane inspector sorted out this matter, and finally changed the red pen, approved the word "temporary" at the end of the page, rolled it up and said, "Let's go, look at the corpse." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The corpse was parked outside, and several servants had examined it as quickly as possible.

"Taking poison, true qi self-destruction, and there are only two fatal injuries." The person who supervised the inspection reported and handed over a page of records, "Many details have been recorded and traced, please check it." ”

"Identity." Wudong flipped through the book and came to the corpse, and gently put his hand on it.

"I asked the neighboring stalls, and they all said that Xiangzhou in the south came to do business in the autumn, and the accent habits were also correct, and many have not been found out. A few acquaintances have also been bet, but nothing unusual in the initial screening. ”

"Crossing a state to do business, and selling some groceries like this?" Wudong raised his eyebrows, "The money for horse material is not enough - the same is true for those acquaintances?" ”

"Yes, but they said that they came with the convoy of the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce to help load and unload the goods, and the Chamber of Commerce took care of the itinerary and accommodation. These days are free, so I buy some goods directly from the Chamber of Commerce to sell. ”

Wudong nodded: "This is more reasonable - go to the Chamber of Commerce to check, and see if he came in alone, or there is a hidden path that has been laid." ”

"Yes."

Then this crane inspector closed the file, and glanced at Pei Ye and the others with thin eyes like a falcon like a knife: "Several of them are famous and surnamed characters, if you don't want to catch up with Xianrentai for breakfast tomorrow, you can leave now." ”

No one wants to rush.

Several people left the yamen.

The two lines said goodbye and separated, and Pei Ye stood in place, quietly watching the departing figure of Zihuang.

The atmosphere was a little depressed, not only did Pei Ye and the two of them disappear without a trace, but the two of them, who were still arguing after the incident, did not say a word at this time.

Zi Huang was especially silent, he hadn't said a word since he had been questioned by Wudong, and only then did he whisper when he left the Immortal Terrace far away: "Xu Yanhe, do you really think we are just wandering around?" ”

Qinghuang didn't answer, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said softly: "As long as you think it's meaningful, it's enough, from childhood to adulthood, isn't it all like this." One month, two months, one year, two years. I'll always help you anyway. ”

But Zihuang's face was not much better, and he also looked at the sky, which was a boundless and deep darkness, dotted with a few distant and cold stars, and this scene made him a little suffocated.

"I just doubt myself." He said with some pain.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

On the other side of the return journey, Pei Ye was also more silent than spoken.

Li Yiqing turned his head to look at the quiet young man beside him, and saw an unfamiliar temperament from him.

In getting along with her, the teenager is mostly playful, gentle, and often seems clumsy and confused, amiable and cute.

But now he was like a wolf that smelled fish.

He rested one hand on the hilt of his sword, his eyes fixed intently on the long street ahead, his feet walking briskly, and what flowed through his mind seemed to be faster than his steps.

Li Yiqing wanted to talk to him, but inexplicably felt that it would disturb his communication with something.

It wasn't until he came to Cuiyu Courtyard that Pei Ye came back to his senses for a short time and said softly: "Miaoqing, you go back first." ”

"Do you want to go back to the martial arts hall?"

"No, I'll go to Baizhu Pavilion."

"It's so late, can't it be tomorrow morning?"

"It's okay, I'm not sleepy."

"Then I'll be with you."

"Don't. Otherwise, why didn't we stop the two seniors just now? ”

"Well, why don't you stop it?" Li Yiqing tilted his head to look at him.

"In order to send you back to Miss Ming to sleep first." Pei Ye smiled, "You're about to top the coal ring in your eyes." ”

On such a night, the girl can only be at ease by Ming Qitian or Liuli's side, and he gently shook her forearm: "I'll go first." ”

"Hmm."

Pei Ye said goodbye to the girl and turned to the east.

He didn't expect that Zihuang had bumped into this vendor because of the investigation of the Candle World Sect.

From here, can you find traces of the Candle World Sect? After they did such an act of shredding corpses, haven't they even been cleaned up?

What is that thing that is out of sight? Pei Li was willing to classify it as thaumaturgic menopause, but the black cat said that it was not the fruit that he perceived.

Why is it not sensitive?

Could it be that what the black cat perceived in the Tibetan Pavilion that day was not actually this thing that disappeared without a trace?

What else could that be?

Pei Ye only felt that there was more and more fog in front of him, but no matter what, even if there were a thousand mysteries in front of him, the first thing Pei Ye wanted to solve would always be these three words engraved in his heart.

Candle World.

There was no one in the streets and alleys under the cold night, Pei Ye raised his head, and there was already a white bamboo mansion in front of him.

Visiting late at night, the disciple who opened the door was very surprised, Pei Li entered the courtyard and heard the sound of the sword, but Zhang Mozhu was still practicing the sword over and over again.

Explaining his intentions, the disciple took him and knocked on the door of the purple fence senior.

With a cup of tea in front of him, Zi Huang was sitting motionless at the table in a daze, and when he heard the door be pushed, he turned around, and his reaction was really slow in the eyes of the young man who had been four years old.

Seeing the young man, he was stunned for a while: "Pei Shaoxia"

Pei Ye didn't answer, stood in front of the door and gently rubbed his cold hands, and walked in with the door.

He stood in front of Zihuang, stretched out his fingers and dipped his tea in the tea, and drew half a tree on the table.

It was as if all movement had suddenly lost in the room.

Xu Jianzheng's body under the robe trembled a little to the point that it was as hard as iron, and he looked straight at the half-tree, his eyes like a stiff death.

"Senior Xu, you can ask me about what it did in August in Xincang." The boy whispered, "In the same way, outside of August, outside of the salary, where will it appear. I also beg my seniors to give me alms. ”

In the silence, Pei Ye lifted the jade pendant hanging on his chest, and the black ring Jiao came to life.

"Just wish the jade of Gaoyang as a letter."

Zihuang looked up sharply.

The young man and the man's eyes met for a long time, without dodging or speaking.

After a long time, Zi Huang looked at him, and whispered hoarsely: "It's not that I'm looking for it, it's that it's looking for me." ”

"I haven't had a good night's sleep since I came out of Xincang Mountain." The man whispered and pulled the chair beside him, "Please sit down, Pei Shaoxia." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Bowang southeast, outside Qijiao Manor.

Li Weiru leaned on the dense tree, and her eyes never left the manor for a moment.

The foliage of this tree is really dense, especially at night, when you pass under the tree, and when you look up, you feel that a piece of the starry sky has been swallowed up.

Li Weiru is not always in the same place, depending on the time of day and mood, he will choose between seven or eight places at random, and each one is completely unremarkable.

The old man saw his position very clearly, he was not the first line of defense to block the enemy, and he was not burdened with the responsibility of capturing and killing the enemy, he was just a pair of eyes.

If the eyes are exposed first, they will only be blinded before they can see the enemy.

Several places have been confirmed by Wudong and Sui Zaihua, and without knowing it, even if the second order of Xuanmen wants to enter this manor, he must first pass through his sight.

And now, as quiet as ever, the manor had passed, and a hazy glimmer had shimmered on the horizon.

They may appear soon, or they may not appear at all, the old man did not think much of it, and he slid down from the tree with his sword in his hand, like a dead leaf falling silently.

The old man walked up the still dimly dark street with a gourd in one hand, just in time for the wine shop to open the door.

He handed over the empty gourd, and when he returned it full, he already had an extra piece of paper and pen in his hand.

"It's okay today." The old man took up the pen and wrote.

Thank you for a pot of old wine and the alliance leader rewarded by the boss of Shen Xi! Thank you Boss Shen for your support!
