Chapter 80: A Bloody Glimmer of Heaven (I)
Everyone's faces changed, including Shuixie and Uncle Kong.
"Young Master, how do you say this?" Uncle Kong said suspiciously, he knew that Wu Xiaoou had been very smart since he was a child, and he must have made some new discoveries at this time.
At this time, Shui Xie also reacted, looking at the corpse of the dart master lying on the ground, and probably had an answer in his heart. For Wu Xiaoou's quick response, I can't help but appreciate it.
This kid has really been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!
Wu Xiaoou flipped the dart master's body over, as if he was carefully searching for something.
Sure enough, Wu Xiaoou pointed to a small black mole behind the dead dart master and said, "You see, this is here, this is the real cause of his death." ”
The mole was barely visible, like a blackened pore of sweat that could be missed if you weren't careful.
When all the dart masters stepped forward to look at it, they were all chilled.
Wu Xiaoou said: "The person who poisoned the person first put arsenic in the meal, of course, this is just to hide people's eyes. The murderer then stabbed himself with a poisonous needle, the poison of which was the real cause of his death. ”
Uncle Kong's eyes were full of amazement: "Young Master, how did you judge it?"
Wu Xiaoou's face was cold: "It can only be said that this murderer is too anxious, or too calm, in fact, arsenic is enough, I don't know why he has to use a poison needle to poison again." That's where I couldn't figure it out. ”
"The reason why I can tell it is because I have seen the state after arsenic poisoning, one is that the amount of arsenic left in the stomach is still very large, but after the arsenic poisoning, his face is blue, irritable, and he vomits violently, and this brother has no such condition at all, so I conclude that the real cause of his death is not because of arsenic. ”
"There are still details that I can't deduce, and there may have been more than one person who poisoned them, but I can't be sure. Wu Xiaoou waved his hand, looking a little irritable.
There may be more than one murderer! As soon as these words came out, these dart masters were even more frightened.
They are all iron-blooded pure masters, all men who have killed people on the battlefield, but these men would rather return to the battlefield to face the impact of the Monro Iron Cavalry at this time than stay in this creepy place for a moment.
After all, there is a high probability that the murderer is among his own people, and it is very likely that he is by his side!
"Young Master, what are we going to do next? Uncle Kong asked.
Wu Xiaoou looked at his subordinates who were pale and still forced to composure, waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Don't panic too much, after all, this murderer may have gone away." We are all our own brothers, we know our roots, and we are all good brothers who can be trusted. ”
"Pack up and go. Wu Xiaoou commanded.
............
After revealing his true shrewd side, Wu Xiaoou no longer had to play the straw bag young master in front of the water pavilion.
"Brother Water, I've made you see the joke. Wu Xiaoou sighed.
Shui Xie shook his head: "Brother Xiaoou, why don't you search everyone on the spot? ”
Wu Xiaoou smiled bitterly and said, "I've thought about it too, but it wasn't a good time before. ”
After a pause, he continued: "If the murderer is targeting our entire convoy, then we will continue to sneak attack, because the key is that I am not good at judging how many murderers there are, even if the body search can force one, maybe there is something deeper hidden." ”
"It seems that you only suspect that the murderer is inside the Wuwei Dart Bureau?" asked Shui Xie.
"I'm sure it's not the three of you anyway. Wu Xiaoou smiled: "Actually, I carefully observe your usual moves, even if you don't look at it, your divine sense is quietly staring." ”
Wu Xiaoou Zhengse said: "Brother Shui, the reason why I did this is really unavoidable, if this move offends you, please bear with me." ”
In fact, Shui Xie always knew that Wu Xiaoou was secretly paying attention to him, but the other party didn't mention it at all, and he couldn't speak first, but since Wu Xiaoou took the initiative to admit it and apologized sincerely, Shui Xie couldn't say anything.
After all, comparing hearts to hearts, the water pavilion will definitely use the same method.
"It doesn't look like it's going to be flat, so we have to be more careful. Shui Xie comforted.
............
Another day passed, and the convoy of the Wuwei Dart Bureau had completely driven out of Anzhou and entered the territory of Yuzhou.
The Central Plains has seven major states since ancient times, China, An, Chongqing, Hai, Wei, Xin, Qing, Anzhou has many waters, Yuzhou has many water and mountains, and many beautiful wonders are also on the dangerous peaks of Yuzhou. Since ancient times, many people who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the world and choose to live in seclusion have all chosen to immerse themselves in the beautiful mountains and rivers of Yuzhou.
The mountain road is difficult to walk, but the scenery is pleasant, which can be regarded as a gain and a loss.
Entering Yuzhou, the climate is warmer and wetter, there is a lot of fog in the mountains, and I often feel wet on my face, which is tantamount to a kind of torture for these Zhongzhou people who are accustomed to a dry climate.
Fortunately, because of the cultivation of the Water Waterfall Heart Sutra, he felt more intimate to this kind of humid place, and often in this environment, his skills improved more rapidly.
Since entering Yuzhou, the speed of the convoy has slowed down significantly, unlike in Zhongzhou, Anzhou, the official roads extend in all directions, there are more mountainous areas in Yuzhou, although the mountain roads are also quite smooth, but the slope is still very large, the horses are heavy, and it is easy to slip.
In Yuzhou, even many towns are built on hillsides. The further south, the denser the mountains and forests, and even some places do not see the sun all year round, and the rotten leaves on the ground are more than half a person deep, and the miasma is thick!
At this time, the dart board had crossed the mountains and mountains, and it had been in Yuzhou for more than half a month, and there was no case of another dart master being killed.
But Shui Xie faintly had a feeling that it seemed that the poisoning master in the dark was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to catch everyone.
Wu Xiaoou has also been secretly observing everyone's movements, but he has not found anything.
Sure enough, due to unfamiliar road conditions, the convoy wasted a few days on the mountain road before finding the right route, but by this time the convoy had already had some problems and had to slow down.
The humid climate in the mountains, the clothes and boots of the dart masters were in a wet state for a long time, coupled with the ubiquitous mosquito bites, finally caused some of the poor dart masters to fall ill.
Shui Xie did not rashly expose his strength, and at this time, using Yang Long's internal force to treat others was undoubtedly telling everyone that he was a disciple of the Great Yang Dragon Temple. However, the Wuwei Dart Bureau still had a lot of preparations before entering Yuzhou, such as some medicines for treating typhoid fever and fever, but in this way, the speed of the convoy was even slower.
These days, Wu Xiaoou is not as lively and cheerful as before, showing a dignified appearance from time to time, it seems that the young master of the Wuwei Dart Bureau also faintly feels a little troublesome.
"It's all my negligence, the reason why I didn't hire a local guide is for safety, but because I have passed by Yuzhou twice, and this long mountain road can also be remembered, but I didn't expect to go the wrong way. After a pause, Wu Xiaoou smiled and said to Uncle Kong: "But it's okay, everyone's illness is almost better, down this Nanling Mountain, in front of which is the famous Nanling Line, as long as we cross that canyon, we will be out of the mountain." ”
Uncle Kong looked ahead, with a gentle expression: "Young master, don't blame yourself, I have also walked this mountain road, but now I can't even remember half of it, if I lead the team, maybe the situation will be worse than now." ”
Wu Xiaoou nodded: "Uncle Kong, someone was poisoned before, which means that we have been targeted." If you want to ambush us, a silver line is the best place to go. After a glimmer of time, those people must have no chance in Yuzhou. ”
"Everyone cheer up, as long as we cross the canyon in front of us, we will be out of the mountains!" Uncle Kong shouted to the team.
"People are darts!" all the dart masters shouted in unison, looking very imposing.
Of course, it just "seems" to be very imposing, after all, after the mysterious death of a dart master some time ago, it still buried a shadow in everyone's hearts.
However, Wu Xiaoou is indeed a young man, but at the age of thirteen or fourteen, he can be so sophisticated, which is really not easy.
Shui Xue's expression was a little puzzled: "How long is that line of heaven?"
Wu Xiaoou smiled bitterly: "Twenty miles." ”
"Twenty-mile canyon, if you want to set up an ambush, I'm afraid you can choose several locations. Shui Xie stared at Wu Xiaoou and said, "Xiaoou, tell me the truth, is your dart really important?
"Yes. ”
"Okay, I see. The water pavilion shook his head and smiled.
............
When they really reached the first line of the sky in Nanling, everyone took a deep breath, and the Water Pavilion was no exception.
The canyon in front of you is more than two zhang wide, but it can barely accommodate two big cars to walk side by side, stand at the mouth of the gorge and look up, the peaks on both sides are steep and straight up, the double rock walls stand, stand tall and tall, and are extremely precipitous.
It is estimated that the peak is a hundred feet high, and when you look up from below, the sky seems to be only a line wide, and only three inches of sunlight can be seen. The canyon is solemn and cool.
The water pavilion actually has a strange feeling at this time, the two sides of the valley of this line of heaven are extremely smooth, as if it has been split by life! The more you look at it, the more it looks, at this time, if you say that this Nanling line of heaven is born and raised, the water pavilion will definitely not believe it.
How strong does that have to be to do this? To be able to split a mountain, that is definitely not something that can be achieved by man! Only God!
"I will reach that level one day. A scorching glow slowly shone from the water pavilion's eyes.
"This kind of place is really the best place for ambush!" Yin Fei raised his head and said, "If hundreds of stones fall from the top of the mountain, I'm afraid we won't have to resist, and we will be buried alive here." ”
After entering the valley, the divine consciousness of the water pavilion had already spread, and there was no breath of life on the peak, even small animals could not feel it.
Isn't it a little too quiet?
In this line of sky, only the crunch of the cart and the footsteps of the dart masters could be heard, and everyone felt a kind of solemnity, holding their breath and concentrating on vigilance, and no one said a word.
This twenty-mile journey doesn't seem like a good walk!
Wu Xiaoou walked in front of the team, and after Uncle Kong broke off, the two of them all held weapons in their hands, and their eyes were full of vigilance.
"Ahh
At this moment, a scream suddenly sounded!
This scream was particularly piercing in this unusually silent canyon! The sound of screaming continued to echo on both sides of the cliff, which was extremely eerie and made people feel chills all over the body!
Everyone looked at it, and a dart master had already collapsed with his throat clutched! Black blood was spurting from his mouth! It was exactly the same as the last time he was poisoned!
Everyone was vigilant about the movement outside, and the light in the valley was dark, so no one noticed what the other party was doing! Even Shui Xie and Wu Xiaoou didn't know what was going on!
After this tragedy, everyone immediately stopped, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, no one dares to move anymore!
The man in the shadows was obviously a master of poisoning, and there was such a person hiding among his own people, and suddenly no one dared to act rashly! The corpse was lying in the middle of the convoy, and no one wanted to come forward to investigate!
Shui Xie and Wu Xiaoou turned around, their eyes swept the audience, but everyone's expressions were very normal, and they couldn't find out who made the move!
The crowd was in a stalemate, close to a meal, not a single person spoke, not a single person moved.
"Who is plotting against his brother? Please stand up, what kind of hero is such a hidden head?" Wu Xiaoou's voice was extremely cold, and this continuous assassination finally made this old boy feel a little cold.
There was still no one to speak, and the audience was quiet and terrible.
The water pavilion can find out the murderer, as long as you use the soul search technique, but if you search all the divine consciousness of all the people, plus the time it takes to recover, then it will not be able to get out of this line in another month.
Besides, the murderer will definitely not wait to be caught.
The water pavilion was fully enlightened, and he probed the dart masters one by one, feeling the emotions in their minds.
Ever since being able to feel the emotions of animals, it is the water pavilion that has applied this method to people.
Sweeping all the way down, the water pavilion is being eliminated one by one. He clearly felt that almost everyone's heart was full of fear and doubt, and that kind of emotion could be revealed in his eyes.
However, when the center of the convoy was probed, there was one person who made an exception.
The dart master usually didn't talk much, and looked honest and honest, with his head slightly bowed, his hands clenched in his big knife, and his whole body was trembling slightly, as if he was trembling.
Shui Xie could feel his emotions, this trembling was not fear, not surprise, but slight excitement.
The corners of Shui Xue's mouth curled, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he bundled his voice into a straight line and directly entered Wu Xiaoou's ears: "Maybe I'm a little eyebrows, come with me." ”
Wu Xiaoou looked at the water pavilion in surprise, and the water pavilion's lips were tightly closed, as if he had never made a sound at all.
Seeing Wu Xiaoou's appearance, Shui Xie nodded, and rode directly to the middle of the team.
Coming to the dart master with his head down, Shui Xie said coldly, "Raise your head and look into my eyes." ”
The man raised his head, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but the hint of surprise passed by, and his eyes instantly became frightened, and he asked, "Brother Shui, what are you looking for me?"
"Everyone, stand still and don't move!" Seeing this, Uncle Kong shouted loudly and drove his horse over.
"Brother Wang, I couldn't see it before, but you turned out to be a master. Shui Xie smiled slightly and said.
"What do you mean?" the old brother Wang looked very puzzled, as if he didn't understand what the water pavilion was talking about.
"Did you kill those two of our brothers?" Wu Xiaoou asked.
"It's not. Brother Wang replied immediately, without hesitation.
A gleam flashed in Shui Xue's eyes: "Show me your right hand." ”
"Why do you want to show you? Are you suspicious of me? Why do you an outsider suspect us old men of the Wuwei Dart Bureau?" Brother Wang did not back down in his words: "We have never had a problem with darts before, why did we die two people as soon as you joined?"
There was a hint of gloom in Brother Wang's eyes: "Brother Shui, if you don't explain it clearly, our brothers won't let you go!"
"Brothers, tell me if this is the reason!" Brother Wang shouted as he looked at a group of dart masters.
There were few who agreed, but many dart masters began to look at the water pavilion with suspicion. Indeed, Brother Wang is also a big brother among them, they have known each other for many years, they clearly know that Brother Wang is not such a person, what he said is also reasonable, Shui Xie is an outsider, this series of things happened after joining, I have to say that the three people of Shui Xie are the most suspicious.
Wu Xiaoou showed absolute leadership at this time: "Brother Wang, you don't listen to his words, but you should always listen to my words." Including me, every one of us is suspicious, and if we don't find out now, then I don't know how many more people will die next!"
"Hmph!" Seeing his young master say this, Brother Wang snorted coldly, looked up at the sky, and no longer answered.
Shui Xie smiled and said: "Brother Wang, please look into my eyes again, I only need to ask one more question, you just need to answer truthfully, what do you think?"
"I won't ......" Brother Wang just looked at the eyes of the water pavilion, and suddenly felt the light in the other party's eyes, and there was a sharp pain in the depths of his mind!
The first layer of the Soul Killing Law - Horror!
It suddenly went dark in front of me, and my body shook a few times, and I was about to fall!
Wu Xiaoou was startled, only to see that Shui Xie hurriedly took a step forward and held Brother Wang's crumbling body, and a white light shot out from Shui Pavilion's right hand, and the two sleeves of Brother Wang's shirt flew in response!
"Brother Shui, what are you doing?" Uncle Kong said with a frown, he had already seen that Brother Wang had some fainting symptoms, but overall there was no major problem, but Shui Xie made a casual move on his subordinates, which also made him feel a little dissatisfied.
Shui Xie ignored Uncle Kong, just pinched Brother Wang's sleeve inch by inch, as if rummaging for something.
Wu Xiaoou waved his hand and said, "Uncle Kong, don't worry, Brother Shui has no malicious intent." ”
"Look!" Shui Xie pulled out a silver needle from the seam of his sleeve, the tip of which was blue and obviously poisonous.
Wu Xiaoou is still a teenager after all, although he has been mentally prepared, he still gasps when he sees this scene: "It turned out to be Brother Wang?
