"Okay, there you go. Look for it slowly, don't rush. ”

After answering in her brass bell-like voice, the woman didn't even look at the man, and enjoyed the sugar gourd in her hand.

I don't know how delicious the sugar gourd is, but every time she licks it, she will have an extremely happy smile on her face. It feels like I've never eaten a sugar gourd in my life!

But as soon as he ate two of them, he heard a man's voice not far away:

"Young master, come on! I seem to have found my senior brother's ...... The remains!"

"Alas, how did you find it so quickly, it's annoying!" whispered a grumbling before the woman walked slowly towards the man.

Between the two, the total distance between the two is only forty or fifty meters.

But this girl walked like a thousand mountains and rivers, and she walked more and more slowly.

walked for more than five minutes, until she ate all the two strings of sugar gourds in her hand, and then stepped in front of the man.

I lowered my head and looked at it for a long time, but except for a few white bones, I didn't find anything. She immediately frowned, and while fiddling with the white bones on the ground with the bamboo sticks of the sugar gourd, she said with a little dissatisfaction:

"Where are the bodies you are talking about? These can't be these broken bones, right?"

It stands to reason that the man has been waiting for her for so long, so he should complain.

But who knows, the young man didn't say a word about this, but instead pointed to the white bones on the ground with a respectful face:

"That's right, young master, I think that there is a chance that these bones are the remains of my senior brother. ”

Hearing this, the woman's flower face immediately showed a little surprise, and she raised her eyebrows and asked:

"You mean, this bone belongs to Nangong Qi? It's only been a few days since it died, and it's turned into a white bone so quickly? Yin Che, you don't want to fool me, so you can go back to the business as soon as possible, right?"

Seeing that the woman obviously didn't believe herself, Yin Che immediately shook her head and said:

"Young master, you misunderstood! If you lend me another gut, I won't dare to fool you! According to the following inference, this bone is very likely to be left by Senior Brother Nangong. ”

The man's name was Yin Che, and he was a secular disciple of Nangong Gate in Qingsong City. In recent days, he has been cooperating with the woman to investigate Nangong Qi's death.

And that woman is the daughter of the head of Nangong Gate, named Nangong Qing. This time, under the arrangement of the cold palace master of the Winter Palace of Nangong Gate, I came to investigate the matter.

According to the information they had, the last time Nangong Qi appeared was near Cuixu Mountain.

For the past three days, the two have been searching the mountain, but they have found nothing.

It wasn't until yesterday that I accidentally met a farmer who lived nearby, and I learned that as early as a week ago, there had been a strange light on this Taiyi Peak.

After hearing this, Nangong Qing and Yin Che guessed that it was most likely a symbol of the maturity of some kind of heavenly treasure.

So, early the next morning, the two came to Taiyi Peak, intending to try their luck, but they really found those white bones.

"Oh, based on just a few bones, you have this inference? How do you know that this is not left by a nearby beast? Yin Che, is there any basis for you to say that?" Nangong Qing asked in disbelief.

Hearing this, Yin Che immediately explained:

"Yes, yes, young master, listen to me. First of all, judging from the size and shape of the bones, these bones must be human bones, not animal bones, and their owner is still an adult man. I learned some medical skills from my master before I went down, so I can be sure of this. Speaking of this, Yin Che also picked up a few bones from the ground, and explained to Nangong Qing while pointing:

"You see, these are the ribs, this is the leg bones, and the shoulder blades and pelvis...... Men have a ...... pelvis compared to women."

But before he finished speaking, he saw Nangong Qing shaking his head impatiently, and said disapprerovingly:

"Alright, alright, let it go. Even if it's a man, it's not necessarily Nangong Qi? A man in this world, he's not the only one!"

"Yes, yes, what the young master said is that this alone is certainly not enough. Yin Che smiled and nodded, and then continued to explain:

"However, young master, if you think about it again, we have almost always used our true qi to move forward along the way just now. If it weren't for the cultivation in the body, you and I would ...... Oh no, you can't climb this unexplored peak below. Therefore, judging from the following, those who can reach this peak must be people who know how to cultivate. ”

The "road" to Taiyi Peak, Nangong Qing had walked it herself just now, and she knew that Yin Che was right, except for cultivators, it was indeed difficult for ordinary people to climb up.

But even so, she still couldn't fully believe that this bone was left by Nangong Qi. It seems a bit hasty to draw conclusions based on these two points alone. So, after nodding, Nangong Qing glanced at Yin Che again and asked:

"Anything else?"

And Yin Che has always been a thoughtful person, and of course there are more than these two points in his heart. Seeing that the young master asked, he continued to preach:

"Yes, young master, please see, this bone is hard and white, and if you distinguish it carefully, you can smell a few breaths of blood. This means that the bone is not old. According to my speculation, this person's death time should not exceed ten days, which just coincides with Senior Brother Nangong. ”

After hearing this argument, Nangong Qing nodded involuntarily, and there was a hint of approval in her eyes.

Xin said, no wonder Uncle Han recommended this guy named Yin Che to help him, it turns out that this kid really has two hits. also boasted unprecedentedly:

"Yin Che, I didn't see it before, do you have a lot of research on corpses?"

Hearing these words of approval, Yin Che suddenly felt flattered, and stammered in surprise and replied:

"Thank you, thank you, young master, for the compliment. It's just, it's just a little bit of it. ”

"Alright, don't be humble with me. Is there any other basis besides the time of death?" Nangong Qing quickly brought the topic back again.

"Yes, yes, and one last one. ”

"Oh, and what's that?"

Senior Brother Nangong was originally ordered to come to the world to look for herbs, and he happened to be near Cuixu Mountain a week ago. If he had seen a vision of the maturity of the heavenly treasures, he would have come to check it out, there was no doubt about it. ”

Speaking of this, Yin Che's brows suddenly wrinkled together unconsciously. Staring at a white bone in his hand that had long been broken in two, after a pause, Fang continued:

"However, the vision sent by the treasure of heaven and earth must not be seen by the senior brother alone. According to the following analysis, there should have been a group of demon beasts here that day!"

"Demon beasts?"

Hearing the two words, Nangong Qing's face immediately showed a look of doubt.

She really couldn't understand how Nangong Qi's death had anything to do with the demon beast again!

But soon, I saw Yin Che holding a white bone and said:

"Young master, please see, this is the evidence that they have come!"
