Xue Lingheng was under the protection of Chen Yiyao and Lu Ling, and did not delay any more along the way, and returned directly to the inn, when they came back, Lin Chunxi had just come back, when he heard the news of Xue Lingheng's attack, he was about to bring several other people to reinforcements, but he saw the three of them enter the inn front and back, and saw that they were safe and sound, Lin Chunxi breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone hurriedly welcomed the three of them into the house.

Xue Lingheng hurriedly took a big sip of water, and then his eyebrows fluttered and he told the story of being followed just now, Lin Chunxi and the others also frowned after hearing it, especially Lin Chunxi, it was originally an unintentional move, but it was only because he felt panicked before leaving, so he temporarily changed his plan, and asked Chen Yiyao and Lu Ling to follow Xue Lingheng, who went to the Yamen archives warehouse alone, but I didn't expect that someone was really ambushed there, it seems that the dark tide in this capital is surging, and it is not so peaceful as it seems on the surface, and you must be more careful in the future, if you are not careful, you may be injured, or even lose your life。

However, seeing that the three of them were safe and sound, Lin Chunxi was relieved, and seeing that Xue Lingheng was no longer so flustered, he began to inquire about the results of the investigation of the case file. As soon as he mentioned this, Xue Lingheng had a mysterious look on his face, asked Song Yan to close the doors and windows, and then began to spread out his notes, pointing out to tell everyone about his discoveries, everyone found that his notes were painted with circles in the pavilion, as well as abbreviated symbols, all scratching their heads, it is estimated that in the entire cave blessed land, except for Xue Lingheng himself, there is absolutely no second person who can read this notebook.

Xue Lingheng didn't care about other people's eyes, he pointed to the content of the notes, and began to explain them one by one, first of all, he first gave a brief introduction to the first few cases, in fact, everyone knew about it through a morning of on-the-spot understanding, and they didn't care too much at the beginning, but then when Xue Lingheng talked about the key points, everyone also noticed the strangeness, although they didn't specialize in cultivating rune formations in the past, but after all, they were all Taoist practices, and they had to understand more or less, after Xue Lingheng's detailed introduction, everyone gradually understood what he meant。

It turns out that the stolen children are vaguely arranged in the order of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, although Xue Lingheng's narration sounds a little far-fetched, but it is not unreasonable, if one or two cases can be regarded as a coincidence, but if so many cases are weird and can be linked to the arrangement of the five elements, it means that it is not accidental, and everyone is also in deep thought, obviously Xue Lingheng's accidental discovery also made everyone begin to perceive the stealth horror behind the incident.

Suddenly, Lin Chunxi seemed to think of something, he took out the map of the capital of Wu Kingdom, and then took out the notes recorded by Xue Lingheng, and marked them one by one on the map according to the location of each case above, and when the fifth mark was completed, everyone looked at the map and exclaimed.

It turns out that there is no place where the incident occurred, and it seems that there is no connection between the characters and the coherence of things, but as long as they are connected, you will find that these five locations are arranged around the imperial palace in the capital of Wu Kingdom, with the imperial palace as the center, and the five locations surround the imperial palace in the order of the five elements, forming a star shape.

Now everyone has believed in Xue Lingheng's judgment, this is probably really not an accidental coincidence, the five corpses found in the City God Temple, the five cases to which they belong, should be a unified whole, that is to say, it is very likely that someone committed the crime in order of the five elements of yin and yang, and according to the understanding of Taoism, it seems that someone is arranging a formation, there seems to be a lot of article in it, I am afraid that it is not so simple behind it.

But in any case, using the lives of a few young children to do this kind of thing is to do evil, and there is evil and weirdness in the formation. And Lin Chunxi didn't tell everyone clearly, he even faintly felt in his heart that it was likely to be related to the palace of Wu State, because the center of this array was the palace, if this was really the case, then the matter would be a lot of trouble, and he couldn't go directly to the palace to investigate, Lin Chunxi felt that it was necessary to tell Li Shanyuan about this discovery, so he took Chen Yiyao and Xue Lingheng, and prepared to go to the crown prince to tell it in person.

Without further ado, Lin Chunxi and the others immediately set off and hurriedly rushed to the Crown Prince's Mansion, because they were afraid of another accident, they walked on the road all the way, did not pause much, and rushed straight to Li Shanyuan's residence.

After arriving at the house, Lin Chunxi hurriedly explained his intentions, and the porter of the Prince's Mansion also knew that Lin Chunxi and others had come to the capital, because Li Shanyuan had already used the instructions in advance, so they did not dare to delay, and hurriedly introduced the three into the mansion, because Li Shanyuan went out to deal with official business, and was not in the mansion at this time, Lin Chunxi and others had to sit down and wait for him, the left could not wait, the right could not wait, the three of them were a little anxious, but due to the rules of the Prince's Mansion, they could only pace in the living room, looking out at the layout of the courtyard of the Prince's Mansion, Li Shanyuan gave people the feeling that he was not the kind of extravagant and wasteful person in the past, and he came to his own mansion to watch it up close, and it was trueAlthough you are the crown prince, but there is no extravagance, whether inside or outside the house, the furnishings are extremely simple and elegant, there are no precious rocks and flowers, there is no luxury and wealth in the palace, but it also seems to be well-behaved, and the simplicity still reveals the nobility of the royal family, simple and not to be despised by people.

Xue Lingheng also came to the Crown Prince's Mansion for the first time, so naturally he couldn't sit still, walking back and forth in the house, constantly watching, and looking at the layout of the courtyard from time to time, he looked very nervous. Lin Chunxi didn't laugh at him, so he could only let him wander around, but he couldn't stop looking at him, for fear that he would knock over some furnishings, although it was not a rare thing, but it was an object of the Crown Prince's Mansion after all, so it was better to be careful.

After waiting for two teas, Li Shanyuan finally rushed back, after getting the family's gift, Li Shanyuan knew that things must have progressed, put down the official business in his hand, and rushed back in a hurry, and did not delay after arriving in the house, changed into civilian clothes, and ran directly to the living room.

As soon as Li Shanyuan entered the living room, he hurriedly grabbed Lin Chunxi's hand, beckoned the three of them to sit down, ordered someone to send some pastries and tea, and then prepared to listen to Lin Chunxi and others introduce the progress of the case.

Lin Chunxi introduced Xue Lingheng to Li Shanyuan, Xue Lingheng stepped forward to salute the crown prince Li Shanyuan, maybe there was something on Li Shanyuan's body, Xue Lingheng sneezed twice in a row, and Lin Chunxi, who saw it, also scratched his head and felt very embarrassed.
