That Chao Feng felt annoyed because he looked away, and explained a few words to Sangui, and the two left the Tang Mansion and returned to Youlaidang.

They didn't know that the "broken copper and iron" they had just received was the rainstorm pear flower needle that killed Old Lady Tang two days ago.

The rainstorm pear flower needle is a one-time weapon, once the three thousand six hundred pear flower needles are shot, the core power spring is destroyed due to the scorching heat, but after all, it is the first really successful launch of the hidden weapon in three hundred years, if there is a map, with the ability of the Tang family, it is not difficult to remake a machine spring, so as soon as the old lady Tang died, Tang Zhenghua hid the wreckage.

After a short time, a handsome cart man passed by, saw the pawn ticket on the ground, looked around at no one, picked it up and put it in his arms, and left in a hurry.

......

Li Changsheng stayed in Chengdu for a few more days before deciding to return to Jinling, Li Chengcheng and the three of them sent him to Wujin Ferry, before leaving, Li Chengcheng repeatedly told him not to tell Li Xiaohua about his whereabouts, and only let him leave after getting Li Changsheng's personal assurance.

The three of them bid farewell to Li Changsheng, and there was no point in staying in Chengdu, so they were ready to leave for Yinyang.

From Shuzhong to Yinyang City, all the way to the northwest, through the Sword Gate, across the desert, along the Chishui upward, this road is about two months long, there are a lot of things to prepare, fortunately, Li Changsheng left some money, only to solve the urgent need.

Xiao Jinyan accompanied Li Tingcheng and Zhao Lanjiang to buy a horse, and then went to Cao's veterinarian's house together, preparing to redeem Lu Gongzi.

When he arrived at the door, Xiao Jinyan didn't see Lu Gongzi in the yard, and was about to enter the house, when he suddenly heard a scream from the thatched house, it was the voice of Cao Veterinarian, and then, a black shadow flashed, crossed the fence wall of the thatched house, and disappeared in front of the three of them.

The three of them rushed into the hut and saw Veterinarian Cao's face like white paper, lying in a pool of blood, his life hanging by a thread.

Li Chengcheng stepped forward, probed his snort, and shook his head, "The meridians are broken, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

When Veterinarian Cao saw the three of them, he raised his hand and pointed to a green bottle on the shelf, Xiao Jinyan took it over, took out a pill from it, and fed it.

After a while, Veterinarian Cao coughed violently, his face gradually turned ruddy, and he said to Xiao Jinyan, "Do you know Doctor Xue?"

Xiao Jinyan remembered that when he mentioned Divine Doctor Xue not long ago, this veterinarian Cao looked a little strange, but he still nodded, "You are a friend of Divine Doctor Xue?"

Veterinarian Cao shook his head, "I'm not his friend, I'm his third brother." ”

It seems that I have heard Xue Bao talk about it, in addition to Xue Bao and Xue Pi, other branches of the Xue family were also involved in the dispute between the medical sect and Xue Pi.

"There's something I want to ask you. ”

Xiao Jinyan asked, "What's the matter?"

"Help me find Miss Tang Jiasan. ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "That night, I saw Tang Xiqiu poisoned and died. ”

Cao Veterinarian said, "That's just a method for the golden cicada to get out of its shell, that night she swallowed the three-color mandala and faked her death, and originally arranged a way out, but there was an accident." ”

"Then why don't you find it yourself?"

Veterinarian Cao coughed twice and lifted the robe on his chest, the outer robe was complete, but the inner lining was shattered into powder, and a red bloody handprint was printed on his chest.

"I can't live. He gasped, "That Soul Rejuvenation Pill just now is highly poisonous in the world, but it can last me for an hour." My real surname is Xue, my name is long, and I am cousins with Xue Bao and Xue Pi......"

Originally, what happened in the Tang Mansion a few days ago, the three of them felt that there were many suspicious things, and from Xue Chang's mouth, the three of them had a complete understanding of the ins and outs of the whole thing.

Twenty years ago, Xue Chang, a child of the Xue family, was tired of the battle for medical treatment, hid in Chengdu Mansion, and became a famous doctor of the Sichuan and Shu generation with his excellent medical skills. Unexpectedly, the tree made a big move, provoked the local gang, and was saved by Tang Zhengzheng, the third young master of the Tang family, and became the Tang family's hospital doctor.

Xue Chang was young and vigorous, and extremely intelligent, and it didn't take long for him to become friends with Tang Zhengzheng, and the third young master of Tang appreciated his ability, so he invited him to join a secret mission - to make rainstorm pear flower needles.

After more than a year of hard work, the two finally made the first rainstorm pear flower needle, originally wanted to make a big show, but Tang Zhengzheng was forced to death by the old lady and several brothers, Xue Chang was disheartened, escaped from the Tang Mansion, and became a veterinarian in the suburbs of the Tang family.

Tang Zhengzheng's death, he felt strange, and when he was hesitating, Tang Zhengzheng's wife Song Guanyue came to the door, told him the truth of the matter, and committed suicide after leaving a letter. Three years ago, Tang Xiqiu came to the door and asked for the rainstorm pear flower needle and the letter.

A revenge plan was born in Tang Xiqiu's mind, for which she planned for three years, took the initiative to propose a martial arts competition to the Tang family, and with the help of Xue Chang's poison, she killed Tang Zhengfeng and Tang Zhengmao.

originally wanted to kill Tang Shouli on the spot in the martial arts competition, but there was an accident, but in the end, he stabbed the enemy at the night banquet that night.

According to the plan, Tang Xiqiu took poison and faked his death, Xue Chang secretly looked for someone to take him out, but the two nursing homes he was looking for were unreliable and found the wrong place, and when Xue Chang arrived at the lakeside, the two were dead, and Tang Xiqiu was nowhere to be found.

Xue Chang had already broken his pulse, and by the time he finished speaking, the whole person had run out of oil and lamps, and his speech was already intermittent.

Xiao Jinyan asked, "Even if you find Miss Tang San, what do you have to say?"

Xue Chang coughed violently, blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, and he said solemnly, "The real rainstorm pear flower needle atlas has actually been on her all along!"

"What?"

Not only Xiao Jinyan, but even Li Chengcheng and Zhao Lanjiang were also shocked.

Xue Chang continued, "When making the rainstorm pear flower needle, Young Master Tang San encountered some problems, and later we studied all night, only to find that in the map handed down by the Tang family, there was an error in the spring part, and we improved the map, and the Tang family's family heirloom map was still wrong. When the pear blossom needle was made, the third young master felt that it was against heaven and wanted to destroy it, but he couldn't bear to let down Old Lady Tang, hehe, heaven's will......! Ahem......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help coughing again, and said after a long time, "Now, there is a mysterious force that is also secretly looking for the map, and their power is so great that I am afraid it is beyond the imagination of the people of the rivers and lakes, once the map falls into their hands, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Zhao Lanjiang has not spoken since he entered the house, at this time, he stared at Xue Chang's chest, stared for a long time, his expression was solemn, and asked, "Blood handprint?"

Xue Chang nodded, "You also know the bloody handprint?"

Zhao Lanjiang was silent.

Xue Chang said again, "Find the third young lady and destroy the map! There is also the pear blossom needle that has been launched, if you can find it, you will destroy it together!"

Xiao Jinyan's face was embarrassed, "We are ready to leave for Yinyang." ”

When Xue Chang heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "It seems that it is really providence!"

After that, his neck was crooked, and there was no snort.

The three of them dug a pit behind the thatched hut, buried Xue Chang, and found a piece of wood to engrave "The Tomb of the Divine Doctor Xue Chang".

Zhao Lanjiang stood in front of the tomb for a long time.

Li Chengcheng asked, "Who is the bloody handprint?"

Zhao Yanjiang said, "This is not a person, but the logo of an organization, this organization is very mysterious, and it is said that the strength is very terrifying." ”

Xiao Jinyan was also curious, "Why have I never heard of it?"

"That's because, their power is not in the rivers and lakes, but in the military, and even in the temples, when I was in the border army, I also heard from the mouth of an old soldier in the army, their ability and power are far from what we think, and they can even influence the emperor's thoughts, Launching a struggle between countries, many military commanders, dignitaries and nobles of the Ming Dynasty, Northern Zhou, and Western Chu have secretly joined this organization. ”

Li Qingcheng frowned, "Could it be that the imperial court allows such a force to exist?"

"It's not that it's not allowed, it's that it's powerless to fight them at all. This organization is very strange, their leader is called the big treasurer, there are four long-term workers, a number of apprentices, short-term workers, these people's identities are secret, and they are all one-line contacts, and no one knows the existence of the other party, everything is responsible to the big treasurer. A few years ago, a prince who died in the Northern Zhou Dynasty was just a short-term worker in this organization. ”

Xiao Jinyan also heard for the first time that there is such an existence in the world that transcends the world, is it also related to that Shujian Mountain?

At this moment, I suddenly heard a donkey barking outside the door.

Lu Gongzi trotted all the way to the courtyard, saw Xiao Jinyan, and rubbed his head against him, Xiao Jinyan even retreated, "Lu Gongzi, how can I get it, I cut it, and even my temperament has changed?" Oh, now I should call you a lonely oyster for a thousand miles!"

Li Chengcheng said, "Thousands of miles of lone worms, thousands of miles in a day, eight hundred in the night!

The horses that Li Chengcheng and Zhao Lanjiang bought in the horse market are also good breeds, born to be ghosts, and they are quite disdainful of this leprosy donkey's overtures, and as soon as the master sits on it, he will run away, leaving Xiao Jinyan and Lu Gongzi far behind.

Lu Gongzi walked forward slowly, without the slightest interest.

Xiao Jinyan patted Lu Gongzi, "You are chasing." ”

Lu Gongzi is still slow.

Xiao Jinyan had no choice but to use a killer move, "I can catch up, big fish and big meat, I can't catch up, and the palace will be punished!"

When Lu Gongzi heard this, he trembled, and he didn't dare to slack off, he turned around suddenly, his hooves were flying, and he ran upside down.

Xiao Jinyanqi said, "There is still such an operation? It seems that the knife is crippled!"

Xiao Jinyan only felt that there was a tiger in his ears, and after a while, he caught up with the horses of Li and Zhao, and threw them off in an instant.

It took a moment for the three to catch up.

Zhao Baojiang said, "Everything is almost ready, let's go out of the city today, right?"

Xiao Jinyan was still thinking about what Fang Cai Xue explained, and said, "It's not early, let's go tomorrow, while there is still some time, we have to go somewhere." ”

Zhao Lanjiang asked, "What place?"

Li Chengcheng said, "If you guess correctly, Lao Xiao is going to be there, right?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded, Tang Xiqiu's whereabouts are unknown, but the wreckage of the used rainstorm pear blossom needle, they know that it is coming now.

The three of them rushed to Youlaidang, one of the three most famous pawnshops in Shu, it was evening at this time, the pawnshop had already closed, Xiao Jinyan patted the door for a long time, and no one responded.

Zhao Lanjiang sniffed his nose and said, "Something happened inside." ”

Xiao Jinyan pushed the pawnshop door open with a little force, only to see that the pawnshop was full of corpses.

A blood-red handprint, stamped on the pillar of the pawnshop.

Blood dripped down the handprints, making it creepy.
