July 15, the Midyear Festival, commonly known as the "Ghost Festival".

"Bang, bang!"

At dawn, Liu Xunyi's door was suddenly knocked.

"Who?"

"Hurt the door master Ling Qing, ask to see the black fan!"

"Squeak!"

With a soft sound, the door opened. Seeing Ling Qing's hurried appearance, Liu Xunyi, who was sleepy, couldn't help frowning, and said suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

"The disciple of the Wounded Sect has just found a carriage of unknown origin in the back alley. ”

The back alley refers to a dark alley outside the back door of the Xianwang Mansion. Due to its remote location, it is sparsely populated on weekdays, so the Xianwang Mansion did not send people to guard it day and night, and only sent people to inspect it once a day in the morning, noon and evening.

"Carriage?" Liu Xunyi was confused and said blankly, "What carriage?"

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with the carriage, but the things on the carriage are very strange. Ling Qing explained, "It's ...... It's ......" for a long time, and I couldn't say the following.

"What is it?"

Seeing Liu Xunyi's impatient face, Ling Qing simply changed his words: "I can't tell you clearly, the black fan will come with me, you will know at a glance." ”

With full curiosity, Liu Xunyi came to the back alley, and saw a carriage parked in the alley, the things on the carriage were long and wide, quite grand, but they were covered tightly by the red silk, and the red silk was tightly strangled by the iron cable, and ordinary people could not untie it at all, nor could they open the red silk to check the contents inside.

At this time, there was a seal with black characters on a red background hanging on the chain, and six big characters were written on it: "Jingbei Xianwang Xiaona".

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be stunned, and said in surprise: "What is this?"

Ling Qing shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know." That's how it was when I found it, I couldn't find the slightest figure, I guess someone put it here last night. ”

Liu Xunyi thought about it for a while, stepped forward to take a closer look, and at the same time sniffed the smell carefully, and then gently patted it with his hand a few times, and there was a dull sound of "bang bang" when the red silk was inside.

"It's like wood. Liu Xunyi groaned, "There is no smell of saltpeter and sulfur." ”

"The black fan means ......"

"Send someone to block the back alley to prevent fraud. Liu Xunyi commanded, "I'll go and tell the lord of the mansion and ask him to decide." ”

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, Luo Tianjin, who was belated, slowly walked out of the back door accompanied by Xie Xuan, Jiang Yiwei and others.

"That's it? Luo Tianjin looked at the carriage with a flat gaze, and said in a low voice, "Looking for clothes, open the chain and see what is inside?"

"Yes. ”

Liu Xunyi pushed the sword out of the sheath, and his feet slammed, and his figure rose to the sky.

In mid-air, several swords were swung in succession, and the infinite sword and the iron chain collided fiercely, making a "sonorous" sound. In an instant, the chains broke open and scattered all over the place.

Seeing this, Ling Qing and Xu Heng quickly stepped forward, one of them dragged a corner, and at the same time pulled it downward, the huge red silk slid down, and a huge behemoth as black as ink gradually appeared in front of everyone.

"Shhh

Everyone watched intently, and invariably took a sharp breath. On the carriage, there was a cold coffin. There is also a tablet and a set of shrouds on the coffin.

However, the most unexpected thing is that on the black tablet, there are five horizontal and vertical golden characters inscribed "Luo Hongxuan's Position".

"This ......"

As soon as they saw this, everyone present was stunned and full of consternation.

"Liu Xunyi, you bastard, you dare to disturb the mansion master with these messy things, what should you be guilty of?"

Jiang Yiwei scolded angrily, which made Liu Xunyi's head stunned, and the blood in his body seemed to become cold in an instant.

The soft color on Luo Tianjin's face gradually dissolved, and was replaced by an indescribable anger.

"Lord, I ......"

Without waiting for Liu Xunyi to open his mouth to defend himself, Luo Tianjin, whose face was sinking like water, suddenly interrupted: "Who sent it?"

"This ...... I don't know. Liu Xunyi replied reluctantly.

"When did it appear?" Luo Tianjin's eyes stared at the coffin without blinking, and his tone was gloomy and scary.

Liu Xunyi was extremely bitter, but he didn't dare not answer, so he could only reply stubbornly: "It's ...... I don't know ......."

"I don't know! I don't know what you're doing with this black fan?"

Before the words fell, Luo Tianjin suddenly shouted, and everyone present trembled in shock, and they all knelt on the ground.

Liu Xunyi trembled, sweating like rain, kneeling on the ground holding his breath, hiding his face, not daring to look directly at Luo Tianjin's eyes that wanted to kill.

"The mansion lord is angry!" Xie Xuan waited for an opportunity to persuade, "This thing is strange, and Liu Xunyi can't be blamed on them." ”

"Cursing Xuan'er in such a vicious way, no matter who it is, I must not let him die well!" Luo Tianjin's voice trembled a little due to the anger in his heart, "Liu Xunyi, I don't care what method you use, I limit you to find out the culprit within one day! If not, this coffin is your destination." ”

"Yes......"

Liu Xunyi's forehead was overflowing with beads of sweat the size of beans, and in the face of this unwarranted disaster, he really felt that what is "dumb eating coptis, and there is bitterness that can't be said"?

"Let's go!"

Luo Tianjin was furious and walked away. Leaving the people with palpitations, kneeling on the ground, they couldn't come to their senses for a long time.

......

On the third pole of the day, Ling Qing was ordered by Liu Xunyi to lead his disciples to run through the four gates of Luoyang City, and brought all the guards back to King Xian's mansion.

In the east hall, the four city soldiers stood tremblingly in front of Liu Xunyi, and explained in a gossipy manner: "Master Liu, in the past month, absolutely no one has transported this kind of coffin into the city. Unless...... They flew in from heaven without going through the gates......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xu Heng scolded, "Whatever the black fan asks you, you will answer." Unnecessary words, not a word!"

"That's! that's!" the oldest city soldier hurriedly agreed, "Master Liu, you know the rules of our affairs, if someone really transports such a big thing into the city, it is impossible for us not to collect the city tax, let alone not to open the coffin for inspection." We have carefully questioned all the brothers just now, and it is true that no one has ever seen such a thing......"

Before the words fell, he hurriedly raised his hand and swore: "Little old man swears to the sky, every word is true." Besides, our general is friends with King Beixian, and even if you eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, you don't dare to lie in front of you......"

"Okay!" Liu Xunyi waved his hand thoughtfully, "A few hard people will make a trip, and I will receive a few ingots of silver later, and the lord of Luofu will invite the brothers to drink tea." ”

"Thank you Liu Ye!" When the four city soldiers heard about the windfall, they immediately smiled happily and their eyebrows fluttered.

"Ling Qing, send off!"

After the city army left, Liu Xunyi cast a meaningful gaze on Xu Heng, and said faintly: "If the coffin is not from outside the city, it must come from inside the city." Brother Xu, you led people to visit all the coffin shops in Luoyang City, and checked door to door, and eighty percent of them could find clues. ”

"I'll do it!"

Xu Heng happily agreed, and left the East Hall in a hurry.

"I'll go too!" Seeing that Ling Qing and Xu Heng both had errands, Luo Ningyu, who was the master of the shocking door, couldn't bear it anymore, and took the initiative to ask for help, "There are many people who are easy to do, and they can also check faster." ”

Liu Xunyi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Let Liao Chuan and Liao Hai accompany you, bring more people, and you and Brother Xu will act separately." ”

"Yes!"

......

At noon, Xu's coffin shop in Beicheng.

Knowing the identity and intention of Luo Ningyu and his party, the guys in the shop hurriedly served tea and entertained them, and they ran to the backyard to talk to the shopkeeper.

"Miss......" As soon as Liao Chuan spoke, he suddenly felt that Luo Ning was unhappy with his face, and hurriedly changed his words, "Door master, let's agree with Xu Menzhu, he will go to the east city to investigate, we will go to the west city to investigate, and finally come to the north city to meet." Why did you go straight here? We gave up the coffin shop in Xicheng and didn't check it, in case something went wrong......"

"Stupid!" Luo Ningyu picked up the teacup and scolded with a confident smile, "Have you ever heard a saying called 'think before you act'?" Luoyang City is vast and crowded, and there are dozens of large and small coffin shops, Xu Heng is bumping around like a headless fly, and he can't find clues until the Year of the Monkey?"

"The meaning of the master ......"

Luo Ningyu didn't answer and asked: "Let me ask you, what is the material of the coffin that appeared in the back alley?"

"This ......" Liao Chuan and Liao Hai looked at each other blankly.

"I don't know!" Luo Ning pouted, "The coffin is made of high-quality sandalwood. ”

"So what?"

"The finest sandalwood is very valuable and extremely precious, beyond the reach of ordinary people. Therefore, the general coffin shop does not have this kind of wood. In Luoyang City, there are only a handful of shops that can build sandalwood coffins. Among them, Xu's coffin shop in Beicheng is the most famous. ”

Luo Ningyu's explanation made the Liao brothers suddenly, and they still had doubts about her in their hearts, but at this time, they had admired the five bodies to the ground.

"Although this girl's martial arts skills are not high, she is better than being well-informed. Luo Ning commanded in a matter-of-fact manner, "Remember, all disciples who are shocked must not act recklessly, and think twice before deciding. You have nothing to do and read more books, and you have a long insight, which is better than dancing with knives and guns, fighting and killing. ”

"Yes. ”

"Oh yes! Miss Luo is here, the little one is far away, forgive the sins!"

As he spoke, a rapid and slightly crying voice suddenly came from the backyard.

Immediately afterwards, a shrewd-looking middle-aged man trotted all the way to the front, nodded to Luo Ningyu, and did his best to flatter, and then pretended to be unbelievably sad, and asked in a low voice: "Miss Luo came today, but the house is ......."

"Bah, bah!" Luo Ning said, "I didn't ask you to buy a coffin, but to inquire about someone." ”

"Oh!" the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's okay if there's nothing to do!

"Fine sandalwood, seven feet and three inches, black lacquer and gold seams. In addition, there are also eight treasure shrouds, insect fish jackets, and pine brands. Luo Ning said word by word, "Do you have an impression of the shopkeeper?"

"This ......"

"A good sandalwood coffin, every inch of wood is gold. You can't sell three or five mouthfuls in this store for a year and a half, don't you remember?" Without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, Luo Ningyu added meaningfully, "I might as well tell you frankly that the person who bought this coffin offended the Xianwang Mansion, and my father pointed out to find him." If you don't want to get into trouble, let's be honest, who bought this coffin?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper's face changed suddenly, and he instantly changed into an angry face full of righteous indignation, and shouted: "Miss Luo, the sandalwood coffin you said is from the small shop. The buyer is yin and yang, he doesn't look like a good person at first glance, he really went against his son of a bitch, and he dared to offend the lord of Luofu. You ask! You ask! I say, I say anything!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Ningyu couldn't help but glance at each other with the Liao brothers, and a look of excitement appeared in the eyes of the three of them.
