The stone wall is indeed a place that needs to be seen, although the other three sides of the whole hall are not carved, but they are chiseled and smooth, only this side behind the stone seat, the stone wall is rough, almost natural.

returned the sword to the sheath without a hole, pressed his hand up, and closed his eyes: "Empty." ”

"Dragonstone." Sui Zaihua said, "It's the same as where we are." ”

Looking back without a hole, there was no other place to enter and exit this hall, and the obvious clammy and cold feeling when entering the hall came from the huge boulder hanging above.

The heavy rock deep lake is indeed a cage that most Xuanmen Sect masters are unable to break.

This Broken Dragon Hall is designed with two sections, and the deep one has been used, which is the falling stone wall in front of it.

"Can you open it?" Sui Zaihua stood beside the corpse and looked at it.

Wudong took out a small ring as sharp as a saw, and pressed it hard into the stone wall, and immediately there was a tooth-aching sharp sound, and after a while, a square round of stone chips fell, and the sound was lowered, and gradually went deeper.

"If there are many investigations, we have to guard against all kinds of plots."

There is no hole to let it move forward, and when he turned around, Sui Zaihua had already taken off two scenes, and sure enough, they were two faces that he had never seen before, and he pressed them around, and there was no trace of transfiguration.

The old man spread two plays on the ground: "[Sun] and [Liu]." ”

"What does it represent?" Wudong walked over, "I didn't find too many useful things in the case file, I think you might know something?" ”

"Because it is my plausible inference over the years, it has not been entered without forming a basis." Sui Zaihua said softly, "I think, Shaolong Huan's death building should be a Three Kingdoms drama." ”

"There are a total of four people on the upper floor, the actor [Sima], and the lower [Sun] [Liu] [Cao], a total of four scenes." Sui Zaihua continued, "Here, they sent two cards with absolute control. ”

“.” Wudong was silent for a moment, "I found out in Fucheng that Qiao Changyue had a secret meeting with Jin Yuzhai's shopkeeper, but in Fucheng records, after this secret meeting, there was no change in the transaction between the Instrument Department Supervisor and Jin Yuzhai, and the number of Xinpo was all right. ”

"So I thought," he looked at Sui Zaihua, "and they were talking about who Jin Yuzhai would sell to after he took Xinpo." ”

Sui Zaihua nodded.

"Xinpo's business can be called the pillar of Jinyuzhai's life, Qiao Changyue forced them to sell the Xinpo they got to Huan Death Building, so I came to check Jinyuzhai's accounts."

"But I always thought it was Jin Yuzhai who was half-pushing and half-in-situ colluding with Huan Death Building." Wudong lightly tapped the scabbard twice.

Sui Zaihua nodded slightly, understanding what he meant.

Wudong did call Sui Zaihua to form a light and dark cooperation with him, but he didn't really want to use this step. Because Jin Yuzhai was persecuted, and then controlled to become the puppet of the Happy Death Building, it was too weird.

Qiao Changyue's position as the supervisor of the instrument department does control the entry and exit of Xinpo, but the Shaolong Mansion is open, and the Xianrentai is two streets away.

Jin Yuzhai is not a widow who has nowhere to redress his grievances as soon as he is tied up by two strong men.

If Qiao Changyue's first sentence was to threaten Jin Yuzhai to sell Xinpo to Huan Death Building, then the second sentence of the big shopkeeper would be overjoyed and threaten him to increase Jin Yuzhai Xinpo's quota every year, otherwise his collusion with Huan Death Lou would be placed on the case of Xianrentai.

Therefore, there is no hole to think, it is because Huan Death Lou at the same time opened the conditions that Hua Wanquan could not refuse, coercion and temptation, and this thing is possible.

However, Jin Yuzhai was really completely controlled.

This may mean that at the end of the purchase of Xinpo, it is not the power in the shadow of the Happy Death Building, but an equally righteous and bright authority.

Jin Yuzhai couldn't turn over from such a two-party coercion, maybe it didn't even realize that it was doing business with Huan Death Building.

So Wudong has arrived here now, and he is faced with such a situation.

"Their desire to stop us from getting closer to the truth seems to be even greater than the completion of their own plans." Wudong frowned and looked at the two corpses on the ground, "Even if I die, in half a month, the Immortal Terrace will know the shadow behind it. Is there such a price to pay? ”

"That's right." Sui Zaihua said softly, "They are very, very hard at concealment, both in terms of deeds and in terms of level - in Bowang, I agree that the upper limit of Huan Death Lou's 'soul snatching sword' is 'slashing', because in the whole thing, none of the four scenes have been seen. ”

"However, the first time we met later, it was the drama master." No hole hoarse.

"That's exactly what I'm trying to say." Sui Zaihua paused, "What you meet is not necessarily the drama master. ”

Wudong squinted: "What do you mean?" ”

"That's what the name 'Qu Candle' is all about." Sui Zaihua glanced at the stone wall, the unknown magic weapon was still drilling, "You know that I know more about Huan Death Building, but I and their Liang Zi are not born with the cause of the intersection, it is Qu Candle." ”

"When I first met him, he looked very unfamiliar with the place he was in, with poor cloth clothes and knives, unkempt straw sandals, squatting under the eaves of the Bowangzhou government and coughing on a rainy day, like a poor doorman."

It was Bowang City 27 years ago, and as soon as the summer rain continued, the entire state government became tense and busy.

Twenty-five-year-old Sui Zaihua is the youngest Si Gong in Xiangzhou, catching the Moon Lake flooded heavily, assassin Shi Yu Chaocai invited him from a neighboring state to assist in governance, when the group walked out of the yamen with an umbrella, Sui Zaihua saw the young man sitting on the steps of the road through Yu Chaocai's shoulder.

He walked up and said that he could help design the Xuan Array to stabilize the Moon Lake, and the officials in the group didn't even give him a cold look, Yu Chaocai stopped and asked a few words, and instructed his entourage to give him some food and clothing to warm up.

Sui Zaihua has seen this kind of person, he has read too many stories of celebrities and scholars, he is pretentious, he doesn't even have the patience to be down-to-earth, he can only have a dream of soaring.

Catching Moon Lake can't be governed by a Xuan Array at all, he knows it.

Regardless of whether Xuanjin can do it or not, at least Bowang can't do it.

That year, the lake was calmed down by Sui Zaihua and Bowang Judge, but the young man didn't know how to really get a blue eye in the history of thorns, and he was able to become a small official in the state government.

Sui Zaihua's career in Xiangzhou was not smooth, his boss was jealous of his ability, and Sui Zaihua, who had no attachment, could not see the future, and after helping to consolidate the Moon Lake for four consecutive years, Yu Chaocai sent a letter to the government to transfer him to Bowang.

This is a very important care for the young Sui Zaihua in his career, although it is not the grace of knowing the encounter, it is also the love of the clouds.

It's just that in this year, the rootless and bottomless young man I saw at that time has also emerged in the officialdom, Sui Zaihua was surprised to find that the sharpness of the fall has been taken away a lot, and when he met the state government, he actually took the initiative to greet him with a smile, and he didn't see the arrogance at that time.

Due to the difference in positions, the two did not intersect much with each other, but as young and promising people in the same officialdom, and they were both promoted by Yu Chaocai, the two inevitably became familiar with each other, so they remained in a delicate relationship that was not close to each other.

"That's when I knew that his talent for formation weapons was really good." Sui Zaihua said softly, "I also know some formation weapons, and in the past few years, this may have served as my entry step many times. But it's far from being a 'gift'. ”

At that time, Qu Candle was like an unsheathed sword in Bowang officialdom, and Sui Zaihua looked at his amazing sharpness, and at the same time looked at his amazing clumsiness.

The inextricable officialdom is never so simple, it is a sensitive cobweb, a whirlpool is involved, Qu Zhu goes straight forward with his sharp blade, sometimes he completes jaw-dropping achievements, but soon falls to the point of bleeding in a daze. Fortunately, it is difficult for people who are tall enough to drown in the small pond of Bowang, and fortunately, Yu Chaocai is an upright assassin.

So this young man who seems to know nothing about officialdom can always stand up again, he gradually knows a lot of rules, and sees the invisible silk threads behind people Sui Zaihua was once very surprised to see, I don't know what is blocked, he stood in front of an old judge with a gift, as soon as people opened the door, he showed a good-looking smile, and his waist was slightly bent.

Sui Zaihua's memory of the deepest intersection with it, is the second year of the summer rain, his people again brought wine to talk about the Xuanjin control of the lake, Sui Zaihua told him in detail why such a means can only be used in Shenjing, Taiyuan such a big city, the night rain drunk, the two chatted for a long time.

"Brother Zaihua has no background?"

"The only son of a poor family."

"People like us," perhaps some of the drunken aficionados, the man leaned on the railing and looked at the messy lake in the rain, "how can we get to the heights?" ”

"How high does Brother Qu want to go?"

"Hahaha."

"Master Yu is already very tall." Ranzhu jumped over the railing to wet his robe, Sui Zaihua raised his glass and drank, "Go up."

He smiled: "The Eight Immortals cross the sea." ”

"Hahahahaha." Qu Candle laughed, "Brother Sui also wants to go that high?" ”

“.” Sui Zaihua lowered his head and said with a smile, "Let's see the chance." ”

"I'm going to go up." Qu Candle said softly, looking up at the heavy rain falling in the depths, the lower half of his wet hair was expressionless, "The array and sword in the high place. You can only see it if you stand on a high place. ”

He spilled a glass of wine into the night sky and chanted loudly: "Ancient scholars, first poor and then worried!" Life is in the world, hit the middle stream! ”

It took Sui Zaihua a long time later to know that this was Yu Chaocai's ink pen in the daytime.

He was not surprised, the relationship between the man and Yu Chaocai was indeed as close as that of an uncle and nephew, and it was Yu Chaocai who gave him a way when he was most down, and in the unfamiliar officialdom, this elder was almost his light. And Yu Chaocai, who has no children, really likes this young man, and I heard that he often stays at home at night, and the two talk while listening to the sound of the rain.

And in those years, Yu Chaocai was also the most promising person in the local officialdom back then.

Straightforward, tenacious, and clear-eyed. Located in a remote state, he never learned from it, and he made a steady political achievement here that made the city sideways, as early as three years ago, Lord Yu's remarks about being promoted had appeared in the compliments of the meeting.

Now it's finally here.

And it was almost skyrocketing, an official document, "Promote Bowang to assassinate Shi Yu Chaocai as the Shaoqing of the Gongtai, and concurrently the supervisor of the Instrument Agency, and go to work on the same day." ”

This is the third year that Sui Zaihua came to Bowang City, and it is also the seventh year that Qu Zhu came to Bowang City.

A month before the departure, Qu Candle said goodbye to the two of them for the time being.

"What?"

"I'll go back to the west first. Today is the day of my Master's death. ”

At this time, Sui Zaihua knew that he was from a sect.

"In those days, I thought he had some strange contacts, and once bumped into him standing with an outsider, talking about 'westward travel'." Sui Zaihua paused for a moment, turned his head to look, and the voice cutting into the stone wall stopped, "It's a pity that I didn't pay much attention to it - let's take a look at this first." ”

Wudong nodded, the two of them stood up, their withered palms pressed against the stone wall, and as soon as the Xuan Qi was released, the orange petal-shaped stone collapsed and scattered, revealing the space inside.

Wudong, who stepped in first, raised his eyebrows slightly, and walked in without stopping.

Sui Zaihua followed, and when he looked up, the hall was empty, only a dry skeleton fell in the corner, and the unsheathed long sword fell to the ground without the slightest trace of rust.

——

Kongtong Mountain.

Pei Ye opened his eyes and frowned, he raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, only to feel the depleted throbbing pain biting his brain.

"I've been working too hard these days." The black cat pressed the back of his neck and handed it some coolness, "Rest less, sleep more, and wake up tomorrow." ”

"It's not the right time." Pei Ye said angrily, "The things he experienced during this time when he returned to Hushan Sword Gate were very important. I just told you about the stars."

"Descending Lou, Daliang, and Shishen, corresponding to the Kui, Lou, Stomach, Pleiades, Bi, Mi, and Shen of the Twenty-eight Residences, in the field, covering the west of the earth." The black cat said softly, "And it's called [Buried Star Tomb]. We said before that Xingtian has been a symbol of the orthodoxy of the Mandate of Heaven since ancient times, and I remember you saying that Qu Zhoufu had said that he would wait for the master of the West Court to come and take all this. ”

"Yes." Pei Ye stood up and splashed his face with cold water. He picked up the jade pendant and looked into the pupil again.

A familiar realm of lakes and mountains.

Seven years had passed, and at dusk, the crows had returned to their nests, and the figure had once again stepped out of the darkness into the valley.
