The hall was spacious and bright, Xiao Yunfan was sitting on a Taishi chair, and Tingyun was standing beside him. Yan Qi and notaries from other schools were responsible for the hearing. The confession of the person who is heard is recorded by a special person, and the person who is present must have his fingerprint pressed, and after the audience has no objection, he will also sign his name and surname, and put his fingerprint on it.

With this set of fair and strict system of hearing information, it is not only necessary to avoid the use of lynching and torture into a trick. It also put an end to the arrogance of various sects and factions on this matter in the future.

Xiao Yunfan gestured to Yan Qi, and Yan Qi waved his hand. A man with a bruise on his left cheek walked up to everyone in frustration, and he wept and said: "The villain is coming in spring, and he is the personal servant of the eldest prince." Unexpectedly, the villain had a stomach upset that night and didn't care about serving. The eldest prince he ...... He was actually killed by a ghost. ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "Why are you so sure of being a ghost?" That Chunlai glanced at the Yan official family and didn't seem to dare to say it. Xiao Yunfan said: "You say your directly, you don't have to look at other people's eyes to act." You here will do you justice. Chunlai thought for a while and said, "The eldest prince is dressed in red, and there are embroidered shoes on his feet. Isn't this a demon, what is it?"

Xiao Yunfan nodded and asked, "Then what's the matter with the bruises on your cheeks?" Chunlai replied, "It was the eldest prince who hit him." Xiao Yunfan asked again: "The eldest prince can beat you on weekdays?" Chunlai shook his head and said: "He rarely fights on weekdays, and he will only fight if he makes mistakes." ”

Xiao Yunfan raised his palm upward, signaling him to stand up and reply. followed up and asked: "Chunlai, since you are the eldest son's personal servant, you are naturally clear about the whereabouts of the eldest prince." In front of the big guy, after the death of the eldest lady, the whereabouts of the eldest prince were reported to us truthfully. ”

At first, this spring came babbling and saying a lot of things that were not touched. Until he said that in the evening, the eldest prince was very angry when he came back from outside, and he wanted to persuade the eldest prince to go to the vigil, but he was slapped for no reason. The eldest prince's temper is like this on weekdays, so he naturally didn't dare to ask more, so he had to go to wake his wife's spirit. However, after eating some snacks, my stomach has been uncomfortable, and I never went back to the eldest son's residence.

Xiao Yunfan whispered to Tingyun: "Sister Xian, you go back and check on the dim sum." Tingyun nodded, keeping this in mind. After this spring is over, he will pass the second son's personal servant A Gui again. It's a pity that there is not much useful information from Ah Gui's mouth.

In order to sort out the clues as soon as possible, Xiao Yunfan thought that he must have ignored some important clues, and the scene of the murder should be carefully investigated. Red clothes and embroidered shoes are the key to this case, Jin Lan four years ago and Bai Er two years ago, why did these two women wear red clothes when they died?

If it is said that the eldest lady hanged herself on the beam, it was the murderer who deliberately did it in order to avenge Jin Lan? But the second prince was knocked out of the head, and the eldest prince was beheaded, and this way of death seems to be different from the death method of Na Bai'er who threw himself into the well and died. If it was the same murderer who killed them, how could this murderer complete the murder in a closed room?

He walked to the hall where the eldest lady had hanged herself, and stood under the beams, looking at the room with his chin in one hand. At this time, Shui Hanyan came over and also looked up. Xiao Yunfan turned his head and saw that it was her and said, "Sister Yan, are you also interested in this case?" Shui Hanyan said: "I'm not interested, I just want to see how Brother Xiao finds the truth of the matter." ”

Xiao Yunfan shook his head, jumped onto the wooden beam, and bowed down like a tanuki to check. He stretched out his hand to wipe it, and there was a thick layer of dust on the beam. Strangely enough, there was very little dust on the beam on which the eldest lady hanged herself.

He remembered that when he examined the body of the eldest lady that day, there was a lot of dust on the back of her head and on the back of her clothes. Xiao Yunfan lay flat on the beam, his eyes looked at the roof tiles, and then rolled to the side. Shui Han's fireworks looked pale, and shouted, "Brother Xiao!"

Xiao Yunfan fell lightly to the ground, he reached out and dusted off the dust on his body and said to himself, "So that's the case." Shui Hanyan walked up to him, stretched out his hand and beat him on the chest, and said, "Hey, where are you so scary? You know what? You just fell down from such a high place, and my heart flew to my throat. ”

Xiao Yunfan said apologetically: "It's me who is not good, and I frightened Sister Yan." I just thought about it, but I forgot that you were still watching from below. Shui Hanyan dusted off the dust on his body for him and said, "What did you figure out?" Xiao Yunfan said: "I figured out how the murderer killed the eldest lady." But how he skillfully left the secret room, I don't know this. ”

Shui Hanyan asked: "Could it be that Brother Xiao is mistaken, or someone has created an illusion to confuse you, making you mistakenly think that the eldest lady died in the secret room." Xiao Yunfan said: "The four maids who cleaned the inner room that day, Lilac, Peony, Peony, and Rhododendron, all of them confessed at Mao Shi, and the people who guarded the mourning hall also saw them at Mao Shi.

The room was closed at three o'clock on the previous day, and was not opened again until the first o'clock of the second day. This means that no one will enter or leave the house during this period. In this impossible situation, the murderer actually did it. I wondered if the other party was using the secret passage to move the corpse and create the illusion of a secret room. Let's go slightly

However, I have carefully knocked on the floor tiles here, and people have sprinkled water on them, and I have found no trace of the secret passage. So that's what bothers me all the time. Shui Hanyan nodded and said, "Then Brother Xiao, since we can't find anything here for the time being, let's go and take a look elsewhere." ”

The two went to Yan Zhenting's residence again. On the way, Shui asked with a smile: "Brother Xiao, how many days do you plan to find out about this case?" Xiao Yunfan said: "I can't say how many days, I can only do my best." Shui Han said: "Do you think this is all this secretly manipulated by the people of the Ghost Sect? In addition to the inner ghosts we caught, will there be deeper hidden inner ghosts?"

Xiao Yunfan's eyebrows furrowed slightly and said, "Sister Yan, I have thought about this layer you said. But I think it's extremely unlikely. Shui Han said: "Why?" Xiao Yunfan said: "You think, the plan of the Ghost Xiangmen that day was to expose the privacy of the various sects in front of the martial arts people in the Central Plains.

The Chishui Gang's privacy has been exposed, their reputation has been discredited, their purpose has been achieved, and the inner ghost who should be exposed has been exposed that night, it is possible that there is an inner ghost who refuses to reveal his identity and continues to lurk. Wouldn't it be stupid to be killed by mistake by a companion? Shui Hanyan nodded and said, "That's what I said." ”

said that after Xue Lanyi rescued Feng Miaoqing, she found good medicines to nourish her every day, and the wounds on her hands and feet gradually healed. Who can speak with a voice, but her voice is hoarse like an old woman. Xue Lanyi said regretfully: "Child, mother-in-law, I have done my best. Tell me what you have experienced now. ”

Feng Miaoqing still had a bandage on her head, and she said in a hoarse voice: "Granny Xue, it's all my fault for being selfish and willful that day, in order to find Brother Xiao, I left a letter for your faction and said goodbye." Later, I met Young Master Lin of the Divine Sword Pavilion......"

Listening to her tell her about these tragic experiences, Xue Lanyi hugged her in her arms and comforted her: "Child, you have suffered such a tragedy, and your mother-in-law is also sad for you. But if a person sinks like this, then the life of this life will be over. Feng Miaoqing said hatefully: "No, mother-in-law." I'm not going to sink, I'm ...... I want revenge. ”

Xue Lanyi held her hand and said, "You can think like this, and you have finally lived up to my mother-in-law's hard work." After a person has experienced unbearable suffering, the first thing he must have is the courage to survive.

Dead is white, and alive is the hardest. As for what you do in life, that's another matter. But you want revenge, I can understand it, mother-in-law, but after this revenge, what are you going to do?"

Feng Miaoqing said: "I, I didn't think about it, anyway, I have no shame to see Brother Xiao again." When I take revenge, I will find a place where no one is around, old but dead. Xue Lanyi said: "Good boy, in the past, my mother-in-law had a lot of things that I couldn't live with, and from today on, I will pass on all my martial arts to you as a kind of compensation." ”

Feng Miaoqing looked at Xue Lanyi with a pair of eyes, and said gratefully in her heart: "Granny Xue, but I am not a disciple of the Xuannu Palace, how can I learn the martial arts of the Xuannu Palace?" Xue Lanyi said slowly: "This is what I owe you, I should pay you back." You and I don't commensurate ourselves with our masters and apprentices, but only with our ancestors and grandchildren. From today onwards, I will pass on to you a set of introductory cultivation methods, and after learning this set of methods, it will be of great benefit to your future martial arts advancement."

Feng Miaoqing was moved in her heart and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law." Xue Lanyi stood up beside her bed, put her hands behind her back, and slowly recited: "White light shines on the Purple Mansion, and the Nine Heavens are in the Nine Heavens." Feng Miaoqing also read: "The white light shines on the Purple Mansion, and the Nine Heavens are in the Nine Heavens." After reading it, she asked, "Mother-in-law, what does this sentence mean?"

Xue Lanyi said: "White light is moonlight." The internal strength of this school is mainly feminine, and when practicing, it is necessary to breathe out the moon. Introduce the Qi of the Moon into the Purple Mansion. This purple mansion is the language of Taoist practice, but in fact, the purple mansion represents the eight veins of the strange scriptures above the human body. When practicing this "Xuannu Gongfa", breathe into the moonlight for an hour every day, and then meditate for an hour. ”

Feng Miaoqing said in her heart: "In this way, this Xuannu technique is also simple. Xue Lanyi seemed to see through her heart, and smiled: "Do you think that the breathing and breathing of this hour is very simple?" Feng Miaoqing said: "Is there another method of breathing and breathing?" Xue Lanyi said: "Exactly, since this exercise is called "Xuannu Exercise", then you should guess that the number of breathing and breathing is nine."

Every nine times is counted as one dollar, and it will not be valid until you sit nine times. Don't underestimate this breathing technique, if you practice it well, you will increase your strength even in your sleep. Meditation, on the other hand, is the practice of state of mind. Every time you practice, you must be pure and have few desires, otherwise it is easy to get distracted. If the kung fu is shallow, there is no big problem in distraction, but if the skill is profound, it is very easy to go mad. ”

Feng Miaoqing silently remembered every word she said in her heart and pondered it repeatedly. One teaches each other, and the other learns with an open mind. For the entrance to "Xuannu Gongfa", Feng Miaoqing quickly understood the essentials.
