"The night has come, the light of the bright moon has blessed here, the son of God wears a flower crown and lies quietly in the cradle of the years, we pray, we sing and dance, we pass through life and death. ”

Xing Xuan opened her eyes, a little uncomfortable with the harsh light.

He sat up, a stabbing pain in his head that made him grin.

What does that dream and nursery rhyme mean?

What is the Son of God?

Xing Zhen sighed and didn't continue to think about it, he would have a similar dream from time to time, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He ran the Yuan Force and found that the stabbed abdomen was already able to circulate Yuan Power.

The injury has recovered for a seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, and eight, and it will no longer affect his normal movements, so if he continues like this, he will not lose his strength and recuperate in peace for a few days.

The Yuan's own physique is stronger than ordinary people, so the recovery ability will naturally not be bad.

Xing Xuan took this to the extreme, his recovery ability is one of the best among the Yuan, and it can even be described as terrifying, in just three days, the serious injuries he suffered have basically healed.

But after all, there is a curse power on that knife, and the curse remains in his body, and in the short term, Xing Xuan will not be able to use his Yuan power at will as usual, and it will take time to refine the power of the curse before it can be said to be truly healed.

But at this time, the state was already the best situation imaginable, he had shed a lot of blood that night, and he was cursed, and according to those doctors, the worst case had already taken into account the word death.

Thinking of the power of the curse, Xing Xuan couldn't help but think of the old man and his weird Yuan Force magic, and he still couldn't figure out why his Yuan Force seemed to be a puppet that could restrain the old man, and could absorb those powers for his own use, just like shifting the Yuan to change the bucket.

Another thing is the waist card, I didn't expect the Wu family's affairs to be related to the embroidery palace.

Xing Xuan didn't want to ask Ying Chenji for the time being, this matter can only be explored by herself now, and asking her is equivalent to startling the snake.

Besides, if this matter is to be investigated, it can only be waited until after returning to Kuicheng, Tianyou County is in chaos at this time, and if you want to go back, you have to wait until this matter is closed.

Fortunately, I finally have a clue.

At this moment, a pigeon fluttering its wings outside the window and banging on the window, interrupting Xing Zhen's thoughts.

Xing Zhen looked up and opened the window.

The pigeon was grabbed by his arm and had a note tied to his leg.

This is the carrier pigeon used in the Yuan Palace, after all, the Yuan device used for communication like Feng Ye is very expensive, and it is not very realistic to use it as a standard.

In order to ensure contact, Xing Zhen and the others each received one.

This carrier pigeon is Chen's, and it seems that something is wrong.

Xing Xuan took down the note from it, and only one line was written on it.

"The identity of the old man has been clarified, and we are in the East Theater. ”

Seeing this, Xing Xuan suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly dressed up, put on his ring, and galloped out.

East Theatre

Xing Xuan's body has not completely healed, and the speed is naturally not much faster.

An hour later, Xing Xuan finally rushed from the Yuan Hall to the theater.

The theater is still the same as ever, and the streets are still full of traffic, but it gives Xing Zhen a weird feeling.

He didn't think much of it, and hurriedly walked in.

The identity of the old man has been clarified, this is an important clue!

As the door creaked, sunlight shone through the crack in the door.

The inside of the theater building was very dim, the lights and candles fell to the ground, and most of the tables and chairs were piled up in the corners, covered with knife marks.

Xing Xuan looked around suspiciously, and when he saw this scene that didn't seem to be very good, he was shocked and immediately became a little more vigilant.

Suddenly, there was a "thump" sound behind him, and Xing Yu hurriedly turned his head.

The door suddenly closed on its own.

Xing Zhen secretly screamed, and at this time, the lights upstairs suddenly turned on.

Suddenly, the sound of the bowstring filling filled all directions, and the bright arrows pointed at the stars.

Xing Zhen responded to the prestige, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.

The upstairs was full of archers, and in the middle of the star, there were several primordial people, who were the ones who were on a mission with him.

Amon and Chen were sealed in a transparent Yuan Force shield at this time, as if they had lost consciousness.

The boy in charge of this mission shook the folding fan, walked out with a smile, and looked at Xing Zhen mockingly.

"What are you going to do? What have you done to them?!" Xing Xuan saw Amon and Chen in his hands, life and death were uncertain, and his heart was shocked, and he immediately roared and wanted to step forward.

Suddenly, the boy put his hand on the Yuan Force cover that wrapped Chen, and looked at Xing Zhen.

Seeing this, Xing Xuan gritted his teeth, although his heart was full of anger and worry, he didn't dare to act rashly.

He calmed down a little and began to think about it.

That prince is also a member of the Yuan Palace, and he is still the chief person in charge of this operation, so it stands to reason that he will not be unfavorable to them.

But now it is unknown what this son is going to do, although the matter is in the clouds, but he has not yet recovered from his serious injuries, and it is impossible to rescue people from their hands, so he must first stabilize him, and then take action after knowing his purpose.

Thinking like this, Xing Xuan settled his mind and suppressed his emotions.

"You must have some intention to detain them, and whatever you want, just ask. Xing Xuan said.

The boy smiled and held out his hand.

The archers received the order and let it go.

"It seems that the person who makes the general and Lord Li, and even the hall master look favorably is really a smart person, but I underestimated you. The boy said, "My surname is Ji, and my name is Ji Yuan." ”

Xing Xuan was silent when he heard this, but just arched his hand as a persistence.

"Actually, we don't have anything to ask for, it's just that several of us are investigating the case at the same time, and it is you who caught the old man, and you are the one who found out his identity. ”

Saying this, Xing Xuan suddenly understood.

"What does Childe mean by sharing the credit?"

Ji Yuan smiled and flicked his fan.

"Don't worry, the chief of the court guard only needs to say to the outside world, the identity of the old man is found by us, as long as the chief of the court guard is interested, your friend will be fine. ”

"Yes, the brothers can't do it for nothing, and it's not interesting for the chief of the court to monopolize it himself. The person next to Ji Yuan said.

"That's what you're for?" Xing Xuan twitched the corners of his mouth, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"What does the court guard think?" Ji Yuan said.

"What if I don't say yes?" asked Xing Zhen tentatively.

"Then I can't guarantee the safety of the two of them. Ji Yuan's face sank, and the people behind him also lit up their weapons.

Seeing this, Xing Xuan nodded.

"Okay, I promise you, I don't know anything about the identity of the old man, and I haven't asked about it. ”

Hearing this, Ji Yuan laughed.

"The chief of the court guard is magnificent, this favor Ji has written it down, and he will definitely return it in the future. Ji Yuan shook his fan, "Come, let the two of them go." ”

With Childe's order, the Yuan Force cover slowly disappeared, and the two fell to the ground weakly.

"Rest assured, they're fine, they're just temporarily unconscious. Ji Yuan said, and sent someone to carry Amon and Chen downstairs, "But Elder Tingwei should remember that this matter should not be talked about with anyone, especially Yingchen Ji and Master Li." ”

Xing Yu caught the two of them and looked at Ji Yuan.

"Don't worry, it's just a credit, and it doesn't hurt to give it to you. ”

"Those who know the times are handsome, and the adults are smart and astute, and they are admired. Ji Yuan said, "Your body has not yet recovered, you should rest, I have prepared the carriage, and I can send you three back now." ”

Hearing this, Xing Xuan looked at him, expressionless, and nodded.

Not long - on the carriage.

Xu was the cause of the bump in the carriage, and Amon and Chen, who were unconscious, moved, and after a while, they opened their eyes and sat up with their heads covered.

"Where is this?" Chen didn't react for a moment, and looked around.

Immediately, she was surprised to see Xing Zhen meditating with her eyes closed.

"Brother Shu?" she sat up, "is this...... In the carriage. "Where are we now?"

Amon also woke up, gritting his teeth and panting heavily.

"Bastards, these grandsons. Amon scolded.

"Eh, Xiaoxuan?" Amon rubbed his eyes, "where is this?" ”

"What's the matter?" Xing Yu said, "You sent carrier pigeons to tell me that the identity of the old man has been found, but how did you get arrested by Ji Yuan." ”

"By the way, I remembered. Amon said, "It's that bastard, and after we give you the book again, those people came in." ”

"We didn't let our guard down when we thought it was just a coincidence, but he attacked us while we were unprepared. Amon said indignantly.

"Are you saying that they came just after you gave me the news to the flying pigeons?" said Xing Xuan.

"That's right. ”

"Shhhhh Xing Xuan said, "After I came, the two of you were detained, and in order to ensure your safety, I promised him to give them the credit for the identity of the old man this time, and we didn't know anything about it." ”

"What?" Amon said in surprise.

Chen on the side was full of worry and indignation.

"Brother Zhen, these are obviously found by us, they are too much. Chen said angrily.

"No way, they were outnumbered at the time, and the two of you were in his hands, so I had to promise them. Xing Xuan said, "It's just a credit, it doesn't matter, just understand this matter." ”

Hearing this, Chen and Amon were silent, even so, but it was still difficult to calm down.

"That's it, leave them alone. "When I return to the Yuan Palace, you tell me the ins and outs of this matter, and I will think about it. Xing Xuan said, "That's how you found out the identity of the old man." ”

Hearing this, Chen and Amon nodded.

Yuan Palace

"What ridiculous!" Amon was still angry.

This is inevitable, in the face of this kind of banditry, who can not be angry with people who eat ready-made?

"Well, you're fine. Xing Xuan said, "It's just a credit, so why not give it to them." ”

"I just want to know, how did you find out about this? I remember that the embroidery hall couldn't find out. ”

"That's because the embroidered clothes hall only checked the living, and left the dead. Amon said, "This is still something that Chen came up with, and I have to say that this angle is really tricky." ”

"Find out the dead?" Xing Xuan said in surprise.

"That's right, Brother Zhen, you said that no matter how much you check the embroidery palace, you can't find the identity of the old man, I thought that if he faked his death, it would be normal to not be able to find his identity. Chen said.

"Then we heard that this kind of thing happened to zombies on the street three years ago, so we followed this idea to investigate, but I didn't expect this check to really be found. ”

"Yes, although people die every day, all the people in Tianyou County who can be buried in the cemetery have titles, so it is easy to investigate, and only a few people have been screened out. Amon continued, "Among these people, there is one that impresses me the most, and that person is called Winter. ”

Xing Zhen was stunned for two seconds when he heard this, and suddenly remembered.

Isn't the name of the person engraved on that tombstone Winter?

At that time, Ying Chenji also said that the old man was a well-known mechanical master, and the tomb was moved by Jean.

"You mean that the old man is Master Wintertle?" said Xing Xuan, "This is not necessarily, there are too many loopholes in this, and the old man has also moved the grave, so no one has found out about it?"

"Well, Xing Zhen, here's the problem. Amon pursed his lips and said, "Master Winter is the most special, and the cause of his death, unknown, that is, he disappeared at that time. ”

"Missing?" Xing Xuan was even more surprised, this matter had already exceeded his expectations.

"Yes, it is said that he fell off a cliff and his body could not be found, so he was always clothed before and after the grave was moved. ”

Hearing this, Xing Xuan suddenly understood, and even remembered how he escaped from the mansion at that time.

The Tempering Pill can make people's breath temporarily closed, and their pulse tends to stop and they temporarily fall into a coma, which is best used to pretend to be dead.

But this is also a situation where others don't care, when he "died", no one came forward to check at all, so he was able to get through the trick.

And the old man may not have used the Refire Pill, in order to be more rigorous, he directed and acted in a scene, making everyone think that he was dead.

It makes sense if you say that, but what about motivation?

Xing Zhen frowned, not knowing why.

At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted Xing Xuan's thoughts.

A eunuch walked in.

"Elder Qiqi Tingwei, the hall master has a call, all the ministers in the county must rush to the Qiantai Palace at this time, and there are important matters to negotiate. ”
