Chapter 57: Hundred Star Flowers
Hong Dingwu took the portrait to Zhang Ping and learned that the name of the instigator at that time was Yuanbian, the head of the family, Lane 18 of South Street.
When Hong Dingwu was about to walk to the gate of the mansion, he found that Huang Bei was standing at the gate.
"I'll just say, what's the hell in this world, I'll catch you this time. Huang Bei muttered.
Huang Bei stepped forward and stretched out his hand, wanting to stop Hong Dingwu, "Stand ......"
But before he could finish speaking, Hong Dingwu disappeared again, and Huang Bei shuddered, "This kid can't really be a ghost, right?"
Hong Dingwu and Jiang Heng rushed all the way to Yuanbian's residence, and watched by the door for a while to find that there was no movement inside.
The two pushed open the door, and a smell of blood suddenly came to their faces, only to see Yuan Bian fall next to the table, bleeding from all seven holes, his expression hideous, his hands were pressed tightly at his side, and his feet were stacked straight together, which showed how painful his death was.
"Sure enough, he still died, and he sought skin with the tiger, and there was no good end after all. Hong Dingwu looked at the corpse on the ground,
Jiang Heng squatted down and looked at the corpse carefully, "It's just a chess piece, even if he is alive, it shouldn't provide any valuable clues, but judging from his death, it should be poisoned, what poison? ”
"The poison that makes people bleed and die of pain is either the Soul Breaking Pill or the Ruthless Pill, but the price of both poisons is extremely expensive, would they be willing to use it to poison a small person?" Hong Dingwu said suspiciously.
"Who knows?" said Shohyung, standing up and looking around the small room with an unobstructed view, "Let's go, there don't seem to be any clues here." ”
Hong Dingwu answered, and then planned to turn around and leave with Jiang Heng.
But the moment he turned around, he saw a small vase in the corner, and on it was a small flower, the whole color of the small flower was dull, and the petals were dotted with scattered white.
"Wait a minute, maybe something new. After speaking, Hong Dingwu walked to the vase.
"It's really a hundred stars. Hong Dingwu said excitedly.
"Is there anything special about this flower?" asked Jiang Heng curiously, he didn't see the reason for looking at it for a long time, sniffed the fragrance of this flower, and found that this flower is not poisonous.
"This flower does not seem to be special alone," said Hong Dingwu ran to the table, picked up the bowl on the table and smelled it again, "If it really smells of scorching sun grass, this hundred star flowers alone are not poisonous, but a refreshing treasure, and once they encounter the scorching sun grass, yin and yang collide, it becomes a highly poisonous thing, and the symptoms of poisoning are like Yuan Bian, the seven orifices are bleeding and painful." ”
"There are such strange things. Jiang Heng was surprised.
"However, this scorching sun grass is an ordinary thing, but this star flower is not an ordinary thing, its growth environment is a little harsh, it needs to grow in a damp place with few living creatures, and this star flower can only function within an hour after it is picked. Hong Dingwu put down the bowl in his hand and continued.
"Oh, then that means that this Hundred Star Flower grows near Linyang City, and the place where this flower grows must be extremely hidden, which means that it is very likely that the demon first settled in that hidden place before discovering the existence of the Hundred Star Flower. Jiang Heng continued with Hong Dingwu's words.
"That's right, that's the reason, so now as long as we can figure out where this hundred star flowers grow, it is very likely that we will find the hiding place of the demons. ”
Then, the two of them left Yuanbian's room, and after sending Heng and Hong Dingwu to the gate of the cold mansion, they also left.
When Hong Dingwu returned to the small courtyard where he lived, he saw Leng Xuemei still standing in place waiting for him.
"Yo, eldest lady, why are you still here, do you miss me?" Hong Dingwu teased.
"Hmph, I didn't expect you to look black and not slippery, but it's quite beautiful to think about, I just want Leng Xuemei to be a pig, and I won't miss you as a pervert. Leng Xuemei glanced at Hong Dingwu disdainfully and said.
"Oh, don't talk so much, maybe you'll cry and shout to marry me. ”
"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you, you hurry up and hand over the sword-grabbing move to me, and I'll rush back to rest." Leng Xuemei raised her chin and said with a proud expression, in fact, she wanted to hide her weakness through such a demeanor. She has always been arrogant, she doesn't want to beg anyone, let alone this outright pervert, but she is also a martial arts idiot, and the attraction of the sword-grabbing style to her is still too great after all, so big that she has to pull down her neck to let Hong Dingwu teach her.
"Why do you think I'm so cheap?" Hong Dingwu said with a smile.
"Yes. Leng Xuemei nodded seriously.
Choked Hong Dingwu in an instant, he shook his head and sighed, bypassing Leng Xuemei and walking towards the house.
"If you teach me, I won't kill you again. Leng Xuemei panicked and hurriedly said.
"Oh. Hong Dingwu responded, and then ignored Leng Xuemei.
Leaving Leng Xuemei standing alone, she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't know how to say it, she and Hong Dingwu were not related, and they had such a deep grudge, she really had no reason to let Hong Dingwu teach her the sword snatching style.
Suddenly, she saw Hong Dingwu looking at Baixingcao and pondering, a cunning immediately flashed in her eyes, and she said softly, "Mmmm, I've seen this flower." ”
Hong Dingwu was overjoyed, ran over and grabbed Leng Xuemei's arm, and said excitedly, "Really, where have you seen it?"
"Eh, please take your filthy paws away. Leng Xuemei pointed to Hong Dingwu's hand and said.
"Oh oh, I'm excited, I'm excited, beautiful Miss Leng Xuemei, can you tell me where you've seen this kind of flower?" Hong Dingwu let go of Leng Xuemei, rubbed his hands together, and said excitedly.
"Why do you think I'm so cheap?" Leng Xuemei said to Hong Dingwu with her nostrils, inexplicably happy in her heart, she finally had the upper hand in the confrontation with Hong Dingwu.
Hong Dingwu touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Don't you just want to learn the sword-grabbing style, just teach you." ”
After speaking, Hong Dingwu went to pick up a pen and paper and wrote down the mantra and essentials of the sword-grabbing style, and handed it to Leng Xuemei, "No, sword-grabbing style, can you tell me where you saw Baixinghua?"
Leng Xuemei carefully looked at the mantra written by Hong Dingwu for a while, and then said, "The words are so ugly, how can I understand them, hurry up and read them to Miss Ben." ”
Hong Dingwu couldn't help but feel angry, this little girl is too good at kicking her nose in the face.
"Stare at it, be careful that I forget where that place is when I get excited. Leng Xuemei said with a smile, looking like she was eating Hong Dingwu.
Hong Dingwu had no choice, so he had to give Leng Xue Meizai the mantra and essentials word by word and read them carefully.
"Oh, this mantra is mysterious, I'm afraid that my little brain will short-circuit when I think about it, and I probably won't remember it. Leng Xuemei rubbed her head and said with a sad face, as if she was really worried.
"It's not mysterious, it's not mystical at all, come on, I'll teach you. Hong Dingwu hurriedly said.
Then she taught it hand in hand, and after demonstrating it a few times, coupled with Leng Xuemei's good understanding, she soon learned the sword grabbing style.
"Miss Leng, you've also learned the sword grabbing style, it's time to tell me where you've seen Baixinghua. Hong Dingwu asked expectantly.
"Oh, that's called Baixinghua, I've seen it for a long time. Leng Xuemei said with an exaggerated expression.
"You don't know about this flower, and you say you've seen it?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"I've already taught you the Sword Grabbing Style, now it's time for you to tell me where the Hundred Star Flowers grow. ”
"Did I say that if you teach me the sword capture style, will I tell you where the hundred star flowers grow?" Leng Xuemei asked with a puzzled expression, how do you look at this expression.
Hong Dingwu finally knew how annoying his previous expression was, but he thought about it carefully, Leng Xuemei really didn't say that he wanted to tell him the growth location of the Baixing Flower.
Hong Dingwu couldn't help but feel distressed: I was fooled.
"Miss Leng, look, did I teach you the sword-grabbing style seriously just now?" Hong Dingwu asked sincerely.
"Hmm. Leng Xuemei stared at the big flickering eyes and nodded seriously.
"In exchange, shouldn't you tell me the address of the star flower? ”
"Do you think I'm cheap?" Leng Xuemei asked seriously with wide eyes.
Hong Dingwu said with a smile, "How is it possible, Miss Leng is so naturally beautiful, so it is possible to be involved with cheap words." ”
"Then why should I tell you? Oh, it's not too late, it's time to go back to sleep, big fool, don't sleep, read more books, and nourish your brain. After speaking, Leng Xuemei's figure fluttered and disappeared into the night.
Hong Dingwu stood in place, speechless and looked at the sky, a wry smile quietly climbed up his face, often walking by the river, that can not wet shoes, he was finally treated by this girl today.
Of course, Hong Dingwu didn't feel angry because of this, Leng Xuemei would become his woman sooner or later, men, what's the matter if you are usually bullied and bullied by women, just find a place in bed. Besides, it doesn't hurt to teach yourself swordsmanship.
Today can be said to be Leng Xuemei's happiest day, although she still can't kill Hong Dingwu, but teasing him can also make her happy.
After she returned to her small courtyard, she began to practice the sword in front of the dummy, using the few cold sword tricks that had been improved by Hong Dingwu, feeling the obvious increase in the power of the cold sword technique, this martial idiot couldn't help laughing.
Liu Cui on the side looked very strange: The eldest lady has been angry for the past few days, why is she so happy today?
"Miss, what is so happy? Saying it also makes Cui'er happy. Liu Cui asked.
"I won't tell you. Leng Xuemei said with a smile, how could she tell Liu Cui that it was because Hong Dingwu helped her improve the power of Leng Jianjue and became so happy after she successfully teased Hong Dingwu, it was too embarrassing, she threatened to kill Hong Dingwu.
