It wasn't until the night market dispersed that Sun Taiyang returned to the East Wing. Hundreds of gold beads were spent, dozens of people were asked, and the answers were surprisingly consistent.

Li Tianyi is an absolute scumbag.

Bad deeds, useless.

I especially like to mix in Wanhualou, spend a lot of money, and eat at home.

After hearing this, Mai Qipeng sneered and said:

"No wonder these three people hit it off at first sight, and they really smell like each other. ”

Zhu Zhuyi said:

"Deputy Hall Master Sun, you have stayed at the inn for the past few days, and without our permission, no disciple is allowed to take half a step out of the inn. ”

"The subordinates obeyed. ”

West Wing.

Xu Rulin has been listening intently, but Sun Taiyang and the two valley masters are talking in secret language from the sect, and they can no doubt hear it in a fog, so they can only give up.

At the end of the next day, Zhu Zhuyi and Mai Qipeng left the inn and went straight to the north gate.

Xu Rulin stood on the corridor of the west wing, frowning slightly, thoughtful. It seems that it is necessary to talk to Sun Taiyang and find out what the three of them said last night?

After all, Sun Taiyang is an old man in Miaoyin Valley, although he is not as good as he wants, his relationship with the sect is definitely beyond doubt. In other words, Sun Taiyang's chess piece is not absolutely reliable.

The two [Pearls of Acceptance of All Rivers] are severely testing his loyalty to Miaoyin Valley, and at the same time, they are also testing whether he really loves his wife deeply?

For her sake, at all costs?

Do whatever it takes, for her!

Near noon, the innkeeper began to deliver food to the east wing. Zhu Zhuyi and Mai Qipeng are not there, and Sun Taiyang is the head. Although the first compartment no longer has his share, the second compartment is still proper.

Xu Rulin sat in the private seat on the second floor, and it was the clever little guy who served him. Although Xu Rulin has changed his appearance again, he is the same generous, which is deeply pleasing to this little guy, and he just hopes that it is best to have such a high roller one after another.

When the three Vermilion Bird Gold Beads were placed on the table, the little girl's eyes immediately lit up, and he thought that if he continued like this, he would be able to build a new house at the end of the year, and then happily marry the girl from the next village.

"Can you do me a little favor?" Xu Rulin said, "Send me a letter." ”

"Yes. ”

"It's the road fare. Xu Rulin pointed to the three Vermilion Bird Gold Beads, then took out a letter and put it on the table, "Just send it to the old man with black hair and black beard in the No. 2 West Wing." There is only one requirement, which cannot be seen by others. ”

The clever little guy quickly put away the gold beads, put the letter into his arms, and whispered:

"Don't worry, the little one will go to deliver the dishes, just press the letter under the plate. ”

"Very good, this kind of errand will be indispensable in the future. ”

In less than a pillar of incense, Sun Taiyang came, and after flashing into the elegant seat, he consciously closed the door, and then sat down opposite Xu Rulin, who was completely unfamiliar with his face, and asked in a low voice without surprise at all:

"What do you command?"

"You took the two valley masters to the wild boar forest last night to open the coffin for an autopsy, and after returning to the inn, you talked for a while in the secret language of the sect, I really want to know what you said? Especially since your two valley masters went to the north gate early in the morning and have not come back yet. ”

"They are tracking down Wu Zhong's whereabouts. Sun Taiyang said, "The two valley masters decided that you were originally here for one of the Wu people, and the Yang brothers and my two apprentices just became the burial companion in a daze." ”

"Sure enough, it is an old demon in the Five Elements Realm, and the angle from which he looks at the problem is different. Xu Rulin said, "I can tell you that Wu Zhong has been executed by my Ling Chi. Of course, the sin deserves it. But this is not something you have to care about, I can fulfill your dream as a couple, or I can destroy it. ”

"Understood. Sun Taiyang said, "At present, the two valley lords should be tracking down what Cao Wuluo, Wu Zhongzhong, and Li Tianyi did between the seventh day of the seventh month of July and the fifteenth day of the seventh month? Later, the two valley owners asked Li Chenggang if anything that impressed him happened outside the town between the seventh day of the seventh month of July and the fifteenth day of July. ”

"It's kind of interesting," continued. ”

"Li Chenggang said one thing, that is, in Luofeng Village, under the Baili Hill thirty miles away from the north gate, there was a young woman named Ye Mingzhu who drowned in the Peach Blossom Pond. Then this woman has a righteous brother surnamed Xu, who is said to be an elite disciple of the inner chamber of the Phantom Sword Sect, who is young and golden, and held an extremely luxurious funeral for the righteous sister, which caused a sensation in the entire Shifang Ancient Town. ”

"Does this have anything to do with Wu Zhong?"

"I don't know. Sun Taiyang said, "The two valley masters have thousands of mysteries in their hearts, and there must be a reason why they have been asking about this matter. By the way, coincidentally, Ye Mingzhu was found drowned in Peach Blossom Lake at noon on the seventh day of the seventh month of July, and Cao Wuluo and the other three also happened to go to Shili Peach Forest that morning. ”

"Can this be related?"

At first, the two valley masters didn't think about this at all, until Li Chenggang talked about Cao Wuluo. Sun Taiyang hesitated for a moment before saying, "There is a secret scroll of sects in Miaoyin Valley, which records the information known to the various sects and sects and the important people of the Thirty-six Heavenly City. Cao Wuluo is the only son of Cao Tianshou, the lord of Tianshou City, and is naturally among them. Therefore, the two valley owners knew very well what kind of person Cao Wuluo was, and Wu Zhong was also a good person. Last night, the Lord of the Three Valleys asked me to investigate Li Tianyi's personality in detail, and after learning the results, he seemed to be even more confident. Today, the two valley owners left the town from the north gate, and they should have gone to Luofeng Village, Lijiakou, Yaojiawu, Shili Taolin and Taohuatan to investigate and collect evidence. ”

"They suspect that Wu Zhong's disappearance is related to Ye Mingzhu?"

"I'm not sure, but Ye Mingzhu's father went to Lizheng Mansion to report to the official on the same day, saying that his daughter was proficient in water and could not turn a blind eye, and there must be grievances in it, but after the autopsy, he said that the drowning was true. With all due respect, if Ye Mingzhu is as beautiful as a flower, once she is unintentionally bumped into by these three people, it is really hard to say. I don't know Cao Wuluo and Li Tianyi well, so it's hard to evaluate, but Wu Zhong is definitely a shameless flower thief. Over the years, he has done many bad things, and if it weren't for his uncle Prince Zhong, who did everything possible to hide it, he would have been guillotined by Lord Otani a long time ago. ”

Xu Rulin was silent for a moment, looked at Sun Taiyang, and asked:

"If I say that Ye Mingzhu was raped and killed by these three people in the Ten Mile Peach Forest, do you believe it?"

Sun Taiyang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Letter. ”

"Sun Taiyang, the road is your own choice. Xu Rulin said, "This game of chess has already begun, and you have already fallen into a piece, and there is no room for maneuver." ”

Sun Taiyang hesitated for a moment and said:

"Dare to ask your surname?"

"Xu. ”

"Understood. ”

"Your second valley master and third valley master are indeed powerful, and the clues can be connected. Xu Rulin said, "I believe that their speculation and assumptions once made you tremble, right? But don't worry, the end of the whole thing will only be good for you, and in the end, not only will you not be charged with betraying your master, but you will also be rewarded by the Lord of the Great Valley." Of course, you can also successfully get two [Haina Baichuan Pearls] from me, and achieve the dream of living forever with your wife for thousands of years, staying and flying together. ”

Sun Taiyang shook his head and said:

"If you get the [Nirvana] in the end, the situation will be completely out of control. I don't want anything but you to keep your promises. ”

"You should be optimistic. Xu Rulin said, "The power struggle of the three valley lords is bound to make Miaoyin Valley reshuffle. Don't forget, the Second Valley Lord and the Third Valley Lord know the importance of [Nirvana Dan] to the Great Valley Lord, but they still want to get involved, which will eventually lead to an extremely tragic ending. In other words, here's your chance. ”

"Don't dare to hope. ”

"Not an extravagant hope. Xu Rulin said, "Because I will give you a generous gift that you Lord Dagu can't refuse." ”

"What kind of gift? Is it more important to give birth to her dying son? ”

"I'll know when the time comes. Xu Rulin said, "I can see that you are willing to do whatever it takes for your wife." To show my sincerity, I can give you a [Sea Hundred River Pearl] first. All you have to do is work with me. At the same time, you must also remember that the Liuhe Realm is just an immortal appearance and a thousand years of immortality, which does not mean that the physical body is immortal and immortal. ”

"I see what you mean. Sun Taiyang said, "After leaving a son, there is no turning back." ”

Xu Ruling took out a [Sea Acceptance Pearl], handed it to Sun Taiyang, and said:

"You won't regret your choice. ”

Under the 100-mile hill, at the mouth of Luofeng Village.

Zhu Zhuyi and Mai Qipeng stopped and looked left and right.

"Ergu Lord, this official road to the east, five miles in front, is Lijiakou. Mai Qipeng said, "This official road is seven miles to the west, and it is Yaojiawu." And the official road in front of it, passing through Luofeng Village, is seven or eight miles away, and you will arrive at the ten-mile peach forest. Cao Wuluo and the other three have no reason to go far and near, and I can assert that the seventh and third people must have passed from Luofeng Village in the first month of July. ”

"Lord Sangu, are you sure there will be such a coincidence?"

"Can't be sure, but can't rule out that it's a clue. Mai Qipeng said, "Before the Lord of the Great Valley arrives, we can't just ignore it and do nothing, right?" There were four disciples in the valley at once, Wang Zhennan and Li Ziqing were second, and the Yang family brothers were all Seven Star Realm Seven Heaven Cultivators, and if there were another thirty or fifty years, they might not be able to break through the realm. Undoubtedly, this is the loss of Miaoyin Valley, and the Lord of Otani will definitely pursue it to the end. ”

Zhu Zhuyi said:

"According to your speculation last night, the disappearance of the three may be related to Ye Mingzhu, who drowned in Peach Blossom Lake. In other words, you think that Ye Mingzhu's brother surnamed Xu is secretly taking revenge and killing Li Tianyi and Wu Zhong, and the next target is Cao Wuluo. I don't doubt your speculation, I just think that an elite disciple of the Phantom Sword Sect who is no more than thirty years old can kill the Yang family brothers with one enemy and two enemies? Unless he has the best magic weapon or has taken the [Yi Rong Dan], he has hidden his true age and realm cultivation. ”

Mai Qipeng said:

"I'm more of the latter. The brothers of the Yang family were all fatally killed by a blow, although they couldn't tell which sect or sect of immortal law it was, but it shouldn't be the best magic weapon. In addition, the Yang family brothers also have a top-grade magic weapon [Thunder Fire Mirror], but unfortunately they don't even have the opportunity to merge into one. I have long advised them not to separate [Thunder Fire Mirror], and even hinted at their guilt. The two didn't listen at all, but now it's okay, their lives are gone, and the magic weapon is gone. ”

Zhu Zhuyi said:

"It's a pity that it's a high-grade magic weapon that can grow. If it is in our hands, it will not be more than a hundred years at most, and it will be able to refine the best and multiply its power. ”

"That's how it should be. Mai Qipeng said, "Lord Ergu, let's go to the village to find someone to ask where Ye Mingzhu's house is? and then ask where the tomb is? The coffin worth 500,000 gold beads must be inlaid with the best Xuan seal, which can ensure that the body will not decay for several years." ”

"You want to open the coffin for an autopsy?"

"Why not. Mai Qipeng said, "Restoration after the fact." ”

The two walked slowly, this time without a black veil mask, looking like two middle-aged noblewomen, and their faces were amiable.

Not far away, on the side of the official road, there are several thatched houses and bamboo buildings connected. Three or five children are chasing and playing. A middle-aged woman squints at the front of the house and accepts the soles of her shoes. There is also a girl in a blue cloth skirt, carrying a bamboo basket, pouting her small mouth, "chirping" to tease the chickens and feed.

"Girl, may I ask if this is Luofeng Village?" Mai Qipeng asked softly with a smile on her face.

The girl in the cloth skirt nodded. The middle-aged woman glanced up and continued to shoe. But all the people in this kind of brocade clothes, passing through Luofeng Village, most of them are asking to go to the ten-mile peach forest, which is not unusual, and they have seen a lot.

Mai Qipeng then asked:

"Girl, is there a family surnamed Ye in this village?"

This time the girl in the cloth skirt did not nod, but turned to look at the middle-aged woman. The latter put down the soles of his shoes and walked over to signal the girl in the cloth skirt to enter the house before saying:

"Originally, there was a family, and they lived under the hundred-mile mound in front. Not long ago, after their daughter drowned, the couple left, and I don't know where they moved?"

"Drown!" exclaimed Mackee, "how is this possible? However, her father refused, so she had to give up for the time being. What a pity...... Where is that little girl buried?"

"I don't know. The girl was a ghost in vain, and no one in the village dared to provoke it, for fear that the ghost would come up. ”

Zhu Zhuyi said:

"Senior sister, forget it, there is no fate, let's go. ”

Seeing that the two of them were walking away, the girl in the cloth skirt came out of the house, with a look of disdain, pursed her lips, and said:

"Mother, these two people are fake, and they must be liars. There is still no fate, if you really want to accept Sister Mingzhu as an apprentice, you have already found it, do you need to wait for a month?"

"You're smart!" the middle-aged woman glared, "I don't know how many tomb robbers are thinking about Mingzhu'er's coffin? ”
