The autumn is cloudy and the days are short, and the dew is heavy and frosty.

??? Zhao Ya stood quietly in the courtyard, ignoring the noise of insects around her, only closed her eyes thoughtfully, I don't know how long she had been standing, and her skirt had already been wet by the autumn dew.

??? Even when Qin Feng walked behind her, she didn't seem to notice it, Qin Feng couldn't help asking, "What do you think, so engrossed?"

??? Zhao Ya opened her eyes and said, "It's nothing, I just want to listen to the sound of insects and let go of my thoughts." ”

Qin Feng said, "Didn't you hate bugs the most before?"

"And now, too. ”

???“ I was fascinated by the sound of insects, this seems to be something that Gu Xuanyu would do, but don't tell me that you have awakened a suspicious hobby at this time. Qin Feng said with a smile, but he couldn't hear a little joking or seriousness between his words.

Zhao Ya said abruptly: "Today's day." It's dark very early. ”

"It's been autumn for so long, so naturally one day is shorter than one day, not to mention how many days it has been cloudy. Qin Feng raised his head, and the top of his head was already dark and dreary, without stars and moons, which was quite depressing.

???? Zhao Ya put away her hair that was blown away by the wind and said, "The wind is getting cooler, tonight, this rain should fall." ”

??? Qin Feng sighed with emotion: "An autumn rain and a cold, but I don't know, if we can still see the rain tonight, by the way, when it comes to the weather, your topic is really blunt." ”

??“ I want to say that when the autumn rain falls, the insects are silent, and I hate them, except tonight, because this is their last wail, and the time of death is approaching, and the cry of powerlessness is always very pleasant. ”

Zhao Ya said lightly, but Qin Feng heard a ruthlessness from her words, the autumn wind was suddenly tight, and the cold hit people, making her shiver when she was thinly dressed.

?? Around the courtyard, as the autumn wind blows, a few cold lights can be faintly seen in the shade of the trees, and they will disappear in a flash.

?“ Did you arrange it?" Seeing the hidden sword soldiers hidden in the hidden place, Zhao Ya asked.

?? Qin Feng said: "If you really make a move, the Heavenly Maiden's cultivation, coupled with Gu Xuanqi's Gu technique, the son is not here, just the two of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with." ”

?? Zhao Ya shook her head and said, "With them, it won't help." ”

Qin Feng said: "At least she can take care of Chu Song, she is the key, and she can't afford to lose." ”

"Speaking of Chu Song, what about her, will she delay any longer?"

Qin Feng sighed: "Little girl, you don't know, but you will come eventually, say Cao Cao Cao has arrived." ”

Qin Feng raised his chin and signaled, and when he saw the direction indicated, Chu Song and Han Fu came together, Chu Song walked slowly, still hesitating, and Han Fu whispered behind him.

Zhao Yaxiu frowned slightly and said, "You're late." ”

?“ Sister Ya ......" Chu Song hung his head and said, "I'm not ready yet, and I can't minimize the mental damage caused by the Parasitic Gu to the Heavenly Maiden." ”

"Gu Xuanyi won't give you time to prepare, it's time to start, let's go into the house. Zhao Ya left no room for negotiation, turned around and took the lead in the room.

?? Chu Song seemed to want to give up, and followed Zhao Ya and said: "Sister Ya, don't you really want the prince to decide this matter? If you are wrong, you will not say anything about the Heavenly Maiden, and you will also miss the only opportunity to find out Gu Xuanyi's parasite." ”

??“ Do you care about missing out on opportunities, or do you care about the Heavenly Maiden who you don't know?" Zhao Ya asked rhetorically

?? Chu Song was speechless for a while, and Zhao Ya continued to move forward, saying: "What's more, you don't know enough about Gongzi, the rumors have spread from top to bottom, and Gongzi must have heard about it at this time, so he hasn't appeared at this time, if he hadn't been plotted, he couldn't come." That's him—"

"—It's already here!"

?? At the same time as speaking, Zhao Ya pushed open the door, and saw a proud figure standing with his back in the room, even if he was in the dark room, he was still like a rainbow, eye-catching.

??“ Childe?"

"Childe, are you really here?"

Behind him, Chu Song and Han Fu couldn't help but exhale, but Zhao Ya was not surprised, and saluted forward, "See Childe, Childe is really here." ”

???“ No need to be polite. Gongzi Ling picked up Zhao Ya, but when he approached her, he whispered in her ear, "Isn't it all in your plan to force me to show up with the Heavenly Maiden as a threat?" ”

?? Zhao Ya's face froze, and "Gongzi Ling" had already turned around and leaned on the couch, and said with his hand: "It's already night, what are you doing here, visiting the injured? ”

?? Gongzi Ling asked, but Sanshu didn't answer, Han Fu frowned slightly when he saw this, and stepped forward to answer: "Back to Gongzi's words, it is a rumor in the villa that the Heavenly Maiden Ling Xin is Gu Xuanyi's parasite, specifically like this......"

?? Han Fu was about to explain in detail, but Gongziling waved his hand and interrupted: "Needless to say, this son is not very interested, if there are rumors, this son will dance with it, and no amount of time will be enough." ”

?? Han Fu persuaded: "But Gu Xuanyi's identity is a mystery, this is one of the few clues, we must always verify the authenticity, Childe, we know that you have always pitied the fragrance and cherished the jade, but it is not good to trap the sisters of the villa in danger for the sake of outsiders." ”

?? Gongziling said: "So eager, just for the safety of the villa? You didn't think about avenging your dead husband?"

?? Han Fu was stunned for a moment, and then said sadly: "I'm ...... I don't know, I have been in bed for more than 20 years, I don't even know that Tieshan was a Gu slave, and I don't know whether I should avenge him, but I do have selfish intentions, I want to know the truth, I want to know why my husband died, please remember the hard work of Han Fu as a maid in the villa, and fulfill this selfishness!"

?? Han Fu was about to kneel down as he spoke, but he saw Gongzi Ling flicking his sleeves, full of strength, so that Han Fu couldn't kneel, and then listened to Gongzi Ling say: "I want to know who killed your husband, why bother so much, isn't the person who killed him standing behind you, just look back." ”

??“ Behind me, is it ......" Gongzi Ling said softly, but it was like thunder in Han Fu's ears, her mind was still chaotic, but her body turned around first.

?? But he saw that Chu Song and Qin Feng were separated at this time, and it was Zhao Ya who was standing directly behind.

???“ No...... Impossible. Han Fu couldn't believe it, but he instinctively staggered back and distanced himself from Zhao Ya.

??? Zhao Ya's face was as usual, and said, "Childe is saying that I killed Tieshan?"

???“ Isn't it?" Gongziling asked rhetorically.

??? Zhao Ya said lightly: "Childe said yes, it should not be, but Zhao Ya still can't help but want to ask here, why does Childe think so?"

??? Gongziling helped Han Fu, who was already unsteady on his feet, to the couch, and got up and said, "At first, I thought it was too coincidental. After all, Han Fu has been married, although he has not broken off his past with the villa, but he comes to the villa once or twice a year at most, stays for a few days and leaves, and Gu Xuanyi, the old toad, has not appeared for many years, how can it be so coincidental, but they all bumped into Jinping Villa at the same time, and it just so happened that the dead Tieshan was found to be a Gu slave, and on his body, there was Gu Xuanqiu's inevitable parasitic Gu. ”

??? Zhao Ya said: "There is no coincidence that there is no book, otherwise what does the son think should be explained?"

"Coincidence?" Gongziling chuckled and said, "Similar coincidences will appear many times in the future, so let's explain it as if it wasn't a coincidence." If it weren't for the coincidence, Iron Mountain's coming to the villa was the result of deliberate guidance, so what led him to the villa?"

?“? It's a letter!" Han Fu reacted and blurted out.

"That's right, let's assume that the parasitic Gu is of great significance to Gu Xuanyi, so he needs to send the parasitic Gu to the door, so what should I do?Tie Shan's parasitic Gu has not been used for many years, and he has already faked his death, obviously he was not controlled and sent to death by himself, so why did he appear in the villa?" Gongziling said, looked at Zhao Ya and said: "Han Fu has always adhered to the rules, and when he visits the villa, he either writes a letter of worship in advance, or receives an invitation from the villa. He never made an uninvited guest, and this time it was the latter, Han Fu received a letter inviting the villa, so Tie Shan came with him and died here. And over the years, the only people who have exchanged letters with her are you and Qin Feng. ”

?? Zhao Ya lowered her eyelids, ignored Gongziling's gaze, and said, "I'm afraid that Gongzi has misunderstood, Han Fu has followed Gongzi the longest, and it can be regarded as a high level of hard work." Therefore, Qin Feng and I personally wrote the letter to show respect. But the letter was written by us, it doesn't mean that it must be the two of us who invited her, Han Fu is quite popular in the villa, if the other sisters want to see her, as long as it is reasonable, Qin Feng and I are not hesitant to write letters on behalf of her. And this is not the only possibility, for example, Fu Youshu is in charge of the delivery of the letter, as long as she has the heart, she can forge the letter and invite Han Fu to come in our name. It doesn't even have to be Fu Youshu, as long as any demon steals the carrier pigeon to the villa, he may send a letter to Han Fu. A letter is nothing but a letter. ”

Gongziling nodded and said, "Yes, just one letter really can't prove anything, and this Gongzi didn't think to start from this aspect at first, until we found out that Fu Youshu privately copied the correspondence." And among them, including the letter sent to Han Fu this time, is this one. Han Fu, you can confirm again, the content is correct. ”

?? Gongziling said, took out a letter and handed it to Han Fu, after Han Fu read it, he was still confused, "The content is correct, the recent situation of the villa mentioned in the letter is the same as the one I received." ”

??“ Then look at the header again, the headline of this letter is 'Tie Shan, Han Fuxian and his wife', Han Fu, do you remember, what is the header of the letter you received?"

?? Han Fu frowned, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head and said, "This ...... It's been a while since I received the letter, and my memory has been affected by Gu worms, and the content of the letter is easy to say, but I really can't remember the subtleties of the title. ”

Gongziling looked at Chu Song and said, "What about Chu Song? Among the bags left by Tieshan, there is also an invitation letter, do you remember how the letter was written at the beginning?"

Chu Song also shook his head and said, "I took a look at the relics when I was sorting them out, but I didn't feel anything abnormal, so I didn't pay attention to it." ”

Gongziling said: "Yes, just look at the letter, there is really nothing abnormal, until I saw the letter that Fu Youshu copied privately, but this Gongzi vaguely noticed that something was wrong, although I am not very sure, but I vaguely remember that the beginning of the original letter was 'Han Fuwu sister', not 'Tieshan, Han Fuxian and his wife.'" There is a difference in the title. ”

?? Chu Song was puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?"

??“ There are two possibilities, one is that Fu Youshu did it intentionally, and the second is that the letter has been replaced, and the letter in the iron mountain bag is not the one that Fu Youshu copied when he sent the letter! Han Fu, you have compiled all the correspondence over the years into a book, and my son will ask you again, what title did Zhao Ya and Qin Feng use when they wrote letters to you. ”

Gongziling asked this question before, knowing that if he mentioned it again, he must have a purpose, Han Fu replied: "The title used by Qin Feng has always been 'Tieshan, Han Fuxian and his wife', and Sister Zhao Ya, most of them are written as 'Han Fu my sister', but there are also a few times when the title of 'Tieshan, Han Fuxian and his wife' is used."

?

"Four times, four times to be exact. Gongziling raised four fingers, "Delete this letter and mention it separately, Zhao Ya, over the years, you have used the title of 'Tieshan, Han Fuxian and his wife' four times, right?"

Zhao Ya said: "The titles are all written by hand, I can't remember this kind of detail." ”

"Ha, if Qin Feng writes blindly on the title, it would be fine, but Zhao Ya, you have always been rigorous, and my son thinks that you will change the title, maybe you have another meaning. ”

"Childe thinks too much. ”

In the past fifteen years, Han Fu has returned to the villa thirty-three times, of which Tieshan only accompanied him seven times, among these seven times, three times were the couple's initiative to visit the village, four times they were invited, ha, it happened to be four times, and who invited these four times?" Gongziling stopped in front of Zhao Ya, looked directly at her and said: "It's you! Xu is the identity of the Tieshan Gu slave, so he will be weak when he sees this son, so Han Fu is invited back to his 'mother's house', he can always hide, but every time you use it' Tie Shan, Han Fuxian and his wife's title, he will come, is this a coincidence, or is such a title that no one cares about, in fact, it is a little code for you to invite to meet?"

"This ...... Sister Ya, is that really the case?" Han Fu thought back to the past, and he also felt strange and incredulous.

Zhao Ya was still like frost, and said without any waves: "Maybe it's neither, didn't Gongzi say it before, or maybe Fu Youshu did it intentionally." There is one and two, she is responsible for the sending and receiving of letters, and she has already made arrangements, replaced the correspondence over the years, and forged the false impression that I had a secret collusion with Tieshan, and blamed me. ”

"Yes, there is such a possibility, and to verify this possibility, we need to find out the original letter, but the guest room where Tie Shan lived was burned, and even if the letter was in the room, it would have long since turned into ashes. Gongziling sighed.

Zhao Ya sneered: "It was Qin Feng who set the fire, so the son shouldn't think that the fire was ordered by me." I was still in the library when the fire started. ”

"Ha, naturally not, because the fire was ordered by my son Qin Feng to put it. Gongzi Linglang laughed, took out a piece of paper from his shirt, and said, "If the letter was in the guest room, it should have been ashes at this time, but it is now in my hand!"

The paper was unfolded by Gongziling, and it was a letter, and the beginning read, "Han Fu my sister, seeing words is like meeting".

After Zhao Ya saw the words, she was like a heavy blow, turned her head and glared at Qin Feng angrily: "You colluded with him?"

Qin Feng spread his hands and said: "It's just a matter of verifying the conjecture to say how ugly the collusion is, I also hope that the son guessed wrong, but it's a pity that ......"

Chu Song was even more dazed: "What do you mean? That fire is you...... Did you order it to be released, Childe?"

Qin Feng patted Chu Song on the shoulder and said, "Heifer, do you really think that my sister and I are willing to throw you into the fire, sister, am I such a disproportionate demon?"

Chu Song lowered his head and thought very seriously.

Qin Feng said angrily: "Do you still need to think about this? Of course not! I threw you into the fire, one of the purposes was to test you and see how you reacted in danger. I was afraid that it would really burn you out, so I laid a fire spell around you, otherwise how could you be in danger and unharmed? ”

Gongzi Ling said: "This son, let's say from the beginning, Tie Shan, as a Gu slave, has long been in contact with Zhao Ya. The title of the letterhead is the code for you to meet, and whenever you send a letter under the title of 'Tie Shan, Han Fu Xian and his wife', Tie Shan will accompany him to the villa to meet you, and this time is no exception. But Tie Shan didn't expect that this time what you needed was just the parasitic Gu on his body, and not his life. So Iron Mountain was sent to the door and lost his life. And you are careful, in order to completely clear up the relationship and reduce suspicion, you rewrote a letter to replace the original, and the letterhead was replaced with your usual 'Han Fu My Sister'. ”

"But you never expected that Fu Youshu had a habit of transcribing letters privately, and the letters you sent had been transcribed by her, and then exposed to our eyes. The same content, different titles, and the changes you make out of caution have become the biggest flaws. Ben Gongzi noticed the difference in the title at that time, but he hid it, because Ben Gongzi was not sure at that time, and the reason for this difference was whether it was you or Fu Youshu. But what this son can be sure of is that if the cause is you, the other demons may not be aware of the different titles, but you will definitely notice it, and you will try to remedy it. So, Ben Gongzi pretended not to know, but he read the letters and correspondence records kept by Han Fu, and borrowed a few from Han Fu's past letters and handed them to Qin Feng. ”

"It turns out that Childe borrowed my letter for this purpose. Han Fu suddenly realized.

Qin Feng also said to Chu Song: "Understood, at that time, I took the letter from my son's hand, chose the one with the title of 'Han Fu My Sister', and faked the lower half as if it was burned by fire, leaving only the upper half, so that Sister Ya couldn't tell the truth from the false, and took the one left in Tieshan's bag to complete the replacement." Then the fire was lit. I laid a spell to extinguish the fire beside you, Heifer, so you were unharmed, and this half of the letter was also within the scope of the spell, and it should not have been burned either, but as a result, the fire was cleaned up afterwards, but the letter was never seen again. ”

Gongziling looked at Zhao Ya and continued: "And during this period, you are still the only one who entered the fire in the name of removing the embers! You want to take the opportunity of the fire to burn the previous flaws clean, but you don't know that all this is a trap laid by this son, and the letter that should not be burned has been burned, confirming your guilt, now, what else do you have to say?"

The repeated words hit Zhao Ya's heart, and Zhao Ya's expression changed from anger to surprise, but when the evidence was finally placed in front of him, he finally sighed and said in a hollow and weak voice, "And the last sentence, I said that I am not Gu Xuanyi, do you believe it?"

"I said I'm not Gongziling, do you believe it?" said Gongziling, reaching out to touch the edge of his cheek.

"You!" Seeing this, Zhao Ya suddenly showed a look of anger again, and her hands came out together, raising her palms to attack Gongzi Ling.

Gongzi Linglang laughed, stepped back from the range of Zhao Ya's palm, and said: "Believe it or not, you will know it as soon as you try, do it!"

With an order, he saw Qin Feng pinching the magic trick in his hand, and several Teng vines rushed out of the ground, trapping Zhao Ya's feet. Zhao Ya's figure was suddenly unstable, and when she saw the cold mang, she shot behind Zhao Ya, and it was Chu Song's 'warp and weft needle method' to help.

?

The green vine is bunched, and the silver needles pierce the veins, but Zhao Ya doesn't care about the attack behind him, two blue butterfly wings are born at the vest, and the butterfly wings are fanned, stirring up countless spiral turbulence, and the silver needles are blown by the strong wind, instantly losing their direction, scattered,

And the thrust generated by the flapping of the wings helped Zhao Ya tear apart the vines under her feet, and her body was a few points faster, and she was approaching Gongziling in a blink of an eye.

"Are you sure you want to force this son to make a move?" Seeing that Zhao Ya's offensive was coming, Gongzi Ling did not avoid it, but put his hands back behind his back, and said calmly.

Calm posture, confident attitude, but it seems to have great magic power, Zhao Ya, who was still desperate, actually stopped her body in fear, and stopped suddenly, and this moment of stagnation, Qin Feng Chu Song's offensive came.

A rattan was pumped behind Zhao Ya's empty door, and the butterfly wings were pulled apart, and Zhao Ya also stumbled.

?

"Sister Ya, offended!" Chu Song took advantage of Zhao Ya's unstable footing, and had already approached his side and struck out with a palm, pressing his palm on Zhao Ya's vest to restrain her, urging the parasitic Gu in his body.

I saw a trace of worm wriggling on Chu Song's white lotus-like forearm, which seemed to extend from Zhao Ya's body a little bit.

Knowing that Chu Song was using the method of devouring Gu insects to verify whether Zhao Ya was a Gu insect parasite, all the demons present held their breath and waited for the results!

But suddenly I heard a terrible scream, announcing an unexpected ending, but seeing that Chu Song was in a hurry, he suddenly pulled out his hand and ejected from Zhao Ya's side.

As if she was avoiding the flood beasts, the tables and stools along the way were knocked over by her, and when the demons fixed their eyes, Chu Song had curled up in the corner of the wall, like a frightened little beast, exchanging tears, covering his ears with his hands, and making a half-crying and half-screaming scream.

"If there are no Gu worms being forced out, how can it be?" Han Fu exhaled in surprise, according to Chu Song's previous research inference, if Zhao Ya was Gu Xuanyi's host, then she also had a parasitic Gu in her body, and the contact between the two parasitic Gu would cause the Gu worms to devour each other due to the competition for the parasite, forcing the Gu worms out of her body.

And if there was no parasitic Gu in Zhao Ya's body, then the parasitic Gu in Chu Song's body would take the opportunity to devour Zhao Ya's memory, causing a short-term memory interlacing.

Now, the originally expected Gu worm devouring did not appear, but Chu Song was so frightened and panicked, almost crazy, like the influence of intertwined memories.

However, what memories did she see in Zhao Ya's mind, only a moment of interlaced memories, why did she experience a lingering nightmare, which made her lose her temper and collapse?

"Chu Song, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" Qin Feng stepped forward with concern, wanting to touch Chu Song to calm her.

"Ahh......h I'm not Chu Song, I don't dare to call Chu Song...... Lord, the butterfly slave knows his mistakes...... Butterfly Nu knows it's wrong, so please stop screaming...... Stop shouting......"

Compared with Chu Song, who was almost crazy, Zhao Ya stood quietly like a clay ice sculpture, with a trace of cold mockery hanging from the corner of her mouth, like mocking Chu Song's gaffe, more like laughing at her own ruthless self-deprecation, and said, "Now you believe it?"

She ...... It's not Gu Xuanyi, is it wrong to guess?" Han Fu only felt confused, at first, she didn't believe that Zhao Ya was Gu Xuanyi's parasite, so she finally accepted it, but the result surprised her, but soon, a more important question came to mind, "Who is Gu Xuanqi and where is he now?"

-=-=

Meanwhile.

The burial chamber under Peacock Villa should not belong to the living.

The waterfall connected to the tomb made the sound of splashing beads and breaking jade, but it made the tomb even more quiet and dead.

A figure sat cross-legged in the tomb, closed its eyes and stared, motionless, I don't know how many people had sitting, as if it had become one with the darkness.

At this time, I suddenly heard a burst of singing from the direction of the waterfall, breaking the silence.

"The insects chirp, the insects screamed, the insects broke their souls, the concubines were thin, the king's heart was lost, there was no chance in this life, looking back at Huangquan and inviting each other again......"

The crisp voice, with the lyrics of resentment, from far to near, a strange atmosphere that is out of place spreads in the tomb, making the figure in the tomb suddenly open his eyes and look ahead, but see that with the sound of the machine, the secret door of the tomb in front of him slowly opens, and when the singing stops, the secret door is completely opened.

I saw a pretty woman standing outside the door, her fingers clasped on the non-existent door panel.

"Knock knock, the old man knocked on the door, is the peacock boy at home?"
