9. Break the mystery
Previously, there were secret killings in Wan Qi's Mansion, Feng Manlou and Lin Hai, but with the words of Helian's predecessors and the three golden needles that pointed to the clues to the Ghost Valley, it was determined that they were the culprits, and they were unfounded, it was really difficult to convince the public, and the evidence must be investigated, and the father-in-law said that the golden needles of the spirit messenger could use their strength to return to their hands, but these three golden needles were on the body of the deceased, which was extremely suspicious and must be clarified. In the past 10 days, there has been no progress in the overt and covert visits, and it can be said that the stone has sunk into the sea, and there is no news, leaving people without a clue. At present, all the halls, ghost valleys, and yin and yang rooms are on alert, and at the same time, their respective informants are arranged to be located in the Confucius Pavilion, the remnant residence, Lin Hai, Bafang Town, and densely populated places such as Fengmanlou, brothels, gambling houses, and inns.
At the time of Shen, Wan Qicheng walked around the main hall restlessly, his face full of sadness and anxiety, as if he was waiting for an honored guest.
"Dad, is Grandpa back?" Wan Qiping, who strode into the main hall, asked loudly.
"According to the old rules, did you leave a secret mark in Qingfeng Valley?"
"Earlier, the child went to stay by himself. If my grandfather sees it, he will definitely come as scheduled, and the third day we agreed to is tonight. Daddy, my grandfather is a man who keeps his promises and keeps his promises, and he will definitely come on time. Seeing his father who was suffering and anxious, Wan Qiping was also a little uneasy in his heart, he had never seen his father so flustered and uneasy, he wondered, "Is it that I haven't found evidence yet, which makes my father unhappy." ”
"Yes, it's been almost ten days, and there has been no progress, so how can it not be worrying. Wan Qiyun muttered.
At this moment, a disciple entered the hall and announced: "Alliance leader, Murong Pavilion Master asks to see you." Father and son glanced at each other, wondering what she was doing and whether she had something important to report. So, he said to his disciples, "Arrange to entertain guests in the Juyi Hall." When the disciple heard this, he retreated.
"By the way, you are waiting for your grandfather here, and I will go to see Miss Murong. ”
"The boy knows. ”

At this time, the owner of the Murong Pavilion in the Juyi Hall was drinking tea, looking nervous and impatient, and said to the maid standing aside, "Stand down, I'm waiting here, I don't need to wait." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my wife and children have something to delay the time, look at Murong girl Haihan!"
"The alliance leader is polite, I didn't report for a visit today, there is something that needs to be made clear to the alliance leader, this fact is hidden due to the situation, and I hope the alliance leader will forgive me after listening to it. ”
Wan Qiancheng lowered his eyes, thinking that Murong Yi was a person who was in a measured manner, and meticulous, what made her like this, Wan Qicheng said with surprise: "What's the matter, girl, please say." ”
"When Lin Hai inspected the scene and the body of the deceased that day, he found a letter box two inches long and one centimeter wide, made of white copper. On that day, all the halls lived here, mixed with fish and dragons, and did not dare to say it, and knew that this matter was important, but also did not dare to say it, and dragged it until today, so they did not dare to hide it. ”
"Is the letterbox still there?"
She took out the letterbox from her waist, took off the hairpin, inserted it into the small hole on the side of the letterbox, and with a click, a dark plate inside the Liuji cotton quilt came out. Hand it to the alliance leader with both hands, after opening it, it is indeed a map, and the strange thing is that there are many unknown people, the pestle is fiddling with different movements in different positions, like martial arts, and it is not like it, it is like a treasure map, why there are characters, repeated observations, puzzled, nothing was gained, and said disappointedly, "Don't hide it, girl, I also have the same letterbox here, which was obtained from the master of Ziying Pavilion." ”
"What? The Alliance Leader also has one. Murong Hao was surprised, and continued: "Then the alliance leader can find the mystery. ”
Wan Qian was ashamed and said: "I have no clue below, and I can't guess the fame." ”
After Wan Qicheng sat down, he turned Liuji Mianlian over again and again, turned it over, touched it back and forth repeatedly, and suddenly stood up, seemed a little strange, and said in surprise, "Wait, it's not right." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Your skin is delicate, you touch it carefully, is there a mystery? She used her index finger to draw circles back and forth on the paper, and the reverse side did have subtle textures.
"The girl can draw the pattern according to her feelings, and draw it below to see if it is the same?"
Wan Qicheng took Murong Cheng to the desk, opened the rice paper, handed it to the brush, Murong Yan traced the pattern while rubbing the feeling, finished drawing, handed the map to the alliance leader, Wan Qiyun also copied a pattern with the same behavior, the two opened it at the same time, and were speechless, dumbfounded, and his face was full of fear.
"The red ghost flower is the symbol of the Ghost Valley. There are ghost flowers, ghost valley is there, there are no ghost flowers, ghost valley is dead. This ghost flower is also a talisman for the ghost valley to carry out its mission, is it really the spirit messenger's doing?" Murong Hao said in shock.
"Many signs point to Ghost Valley, and on the surface it seems that it is indeed Ghost Valley, but there are many doubts that cannot be solved, and it is still necessary to think long-term. ”
"Yes, I feel very awkward in many places, but I can't say it, there are still a lot of illogic and inappropriateness. ”
"I want to hear about it. ”
"The murder method, Lin Hai, the red ghost flower pattern on the Liuji cotton connection, etc., are all blood-pointing to the murderer, and they are too self-defeating. Moreover, the subordinates have always felt that there is a mysterious force pulling us towards the Valley of Ghosts. ”
"You reminded me, and I feel the same way, and what I fear most is that I will be taken advantage of if I am in a hurry. ”
"I thought that the situation was serious, and I could only discuss it at the martial arts conference the day after tomorrow. ”
"I can only do that, I hope they have found human and physical evidence, so that we can become famous. ”
But seeing Murong Hao get up, he saluted respectfully and said, "I'm sorry to say goodbye." Wan Qicheng assigned his disciples to send Murong Hao away, and he returned to Qinghui.
_______
"Ping'er, your grandfather hasn't arrived yet. ”
"Dad, it's been half an hour, has my grandfather not returned to Qingfeng Valley, and has not seen the secret mark I left. ”
"It's possible, it's true, it's really troublesome. As soon as Wan Qicheng's words fell, Helian Zhong stroked his silver beard and flew down from the beam with a smile.
"Grandpa, grandpa, Ping'er is polite. Wan Qiping happily ran to Helian Zhong, knelt down on his knees and said.
Hahahaha.......
"Father-in-law, Xiao Rong has also saluted you. ”
"As soon as I arrived at the door, a disciple reported that Murong Hao was coming, so he was invisible. However, the old man can hear the conversation between you and Murong Hao clearly. ”
"My father-in-law has deep internal strength and a well-proportioned breath, and the most important thing is that he can be compatible with the qi of heaven and earth, even a master may not be able to spy on someone on the beam. ”
I saw Wan Qiping helping Helian Zhong to sit on the Taishi's chair, as if he was ridiculing, and said, "It turns out that my father didn't notice it." ”
These are all trivial things, straight to the point: "Xiao Rong is incompetent." As a last resort, I disturbed my father-in-law's leisurely life of idle clouds and wild cranes and Xiaoao lakes and mountains, and I would like to forgive me! Please come to my father-in-law, do you want to let ......?"
Before he finished speaking, Helian Zhong hurriedly said, "You don't need to say it, what does the old man know?"
"You say?"
"I want the old man to help you find out the evidence that the murderer took someone's life, right?"
"This matter is so serious that it affects the whole body. If it was done by Ghost Valley, it was necessary to have all the physical witnesses and evidence, so that he could become famous, lead the heroes of the world, hate innocent people, and remove great troubles for the rivers and lakes; if it was not done by Ghost Valley, then who would have done it? I am also worried that someone behind this matter is manipulating and blaming others. If you are afraid, you are afraid, some people sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, some people take advantage of the fire to rob, and some people sit back and enjoy the success. Either way, the world will be in chaos, and even innocent people will be harmed, and lives will be ruined. ”
"Yes, you have to think about it, the more urgent it is, the more calm you have to be. However, what you told the old man to do, the old man did not hesitate. For the sake of my precious daughter, I don't want to watch her worry about your days in the treacherous Ghost Valley and the strife between Yin and Yang. ”
"In his position, he had to find a job. My father-in-law can help find out the evidence, and I thank my father-in-law for this. ”
"Your own people, you're welcome. I just can't stand you guys, you guys, you're so hypocritical!"
"My father-in-law reprimanded. There is one more thing that is more frightening than this. Helian Zhong glanced at Wan Qiyun, and his expression was much more serious than just now. He stretched out his right index finger and kept spinning in the air and said, "Is it the map?" Helian Zhong unfolded it and looked at it carefully and said, "This is an incomplete map. ”
"What?"
"It takes at least three to put together a complete map, and what are these people doing? ”
The son-in-law was also very puzzled. ”
"And what are these black spots?"
"I don't know, I don't know. ”
"These black dots, characters, movements, and words don't look like Central Plains characters, and the brushwork in your hands doesn't look like the Central Plains' outlining skills, and where is the location represented in this picture?"
The child was puzzled. When Sun Ziying was killed, the child found a letterbox, and when the disciple of Qinglongmen was killed, he also left this letterbox in his hand. ”
"This person is unfathomable, he is rigid and self-serving, his heart is higher than the sky, and it is difficult to surrender. ”
"What is the most taboo thing to do in a war? It is a plate of scattered sand, each doing its own thing. ”
"It looks like it's all working, and the troubles are finally slowly coming to the surface. The rivers and lakes are dangerous, and between the changes in the wind and clouds, it is a life-and-death struggle. Helian Zhong said again: "Then the discussion of the day after tomorrow, do you want to explain it to you?"
"The mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and you can't hide from what you should come. ”
Helian Zhong got up and walked to Wan Qiyun, patted him on the shoulder and said: "I will go to investigate the details between the Ghost Valley and Yin and Yang, you, don't worry about becoming ill, the more difficult things are, the more you have to slow down the pace, slow down the pace, take your time, think about the plan, and walk steadily step by step in order to achieve the goal." ”
Wan Qiwei bowed his head and responded: "The son-in-law will follow the teachings and live up to expectations." ”
"I won't say polite words, I want to eat the steamed sea bass and rose cake made by Qing'er. Ping'er, take your grandfather to see your mother and the little girl from Jue'er. "After that, disperse.
______
"Grandpa definitely doesn't love Jue'er, and he doesn't come to see Jue'er for so long. Wan Qijue snuggled up to Helian Zhong's left shoulder, and gently pulled Helian Zhong's beard with his hand and said.
"What kind of stupid thing, don't get up quickly, go to the kitchen to serve food, grandpa's saliva is about to flow down. Wan Qiping soaked a cup of his grandfather's beloved West Lake Longjing, handed it to his grandfather with both hands, and twisted his sister's ears with his hands and said.
Helian Zhong looked at Wan Qiping and said, "Ping'er still understands Grandpa's mind very well, and based on this alone, Grandpa is not sick if he loves you." ”
"Grandpa, my brother often bullied me like this, didn't let me at all, spoiled me; ”
"You really have white eyes, you can't see that your grandfather loves you and spoils you, much more than me, who is an elder brother. ”
Jealous again, Helian Zhong sat among them, holding Wan Qiping with one hand and Wan Qiyu with the other, stood up and said:
"By the way, have you two made any progress in martial arts recently, after dinner, you two will fight against the sword, and grandpa will evaluate it. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Helian Qing walked in with a plate and said, "Dad, don't spoil them anymore, don't teach them martial arts anymore, my daughter just hopes that they will live a plain life and not get involved in these rivers and lakes disputes." ”
Wan Qiping hurriedly ran over and put the plate on the eight-sided table, Wan Qijun helped his grandfather to sit on the east side of the table, Helianzhong looked at Helianqing and said: "I am just your daughter, from childhood to adulthood, these two children are well-behaved and sensible, and they are lovely, how can they not be indulged." And if you don't teach them martial arts, this kind of argument is a fool, born in the family of the martial arts alliance leader, how can you avoid it?"
"Mother, what my grandfather said is very right, Kuo'er likes rivers and lakes. ”
"Little girl, do you know what rivers and lakes are?"
He Lianzhong looked up at He Lianqing and said with a smile: "I'm here to eat, not to listen to your debate." ”
"Dad, you've spoiled them. ”
"Who made them look good?"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, yes, you're right. It's your favorite food, and it won't stop your mouth. ”
Wan Qijue was about to eat vegetables, but was stopped by Helian Zhong's chopsticks.
"Grandpa, what are you doing? We didn't have dinner, just to wait for you. ”
"No politeness, your father hasn't come yet?"
"Don't blame my sister, my father has already used it, and he has to practice at night, so he doesn't eat at the same table with us. Wan Qiping said while laughing.
It's not his routine, it's the rhythm of the war.
"In that case, let's eat. ”
