Chapter 30: The Mystery Revealed (Part I)

The sky was getting dark, and Hai Canglan said goodbye to Yuan Xiaoyi from the front of the post station, and rushed in the direction where the three ghosts of Hanqi fled.

Only two or three miles out of the city, I heard the sound of fierce fighting in the woods next to the official road.

Hai Canglan followed the sound forward, and saw a thin and tall young man holding a cavalry broadsword that was a little disproportionate to his size, and was fighting with three men in ink clothes and masks.

"The ...... of the West"

Although the sky was getting dark, and Hai Canglan was in the distance, he couldn't tell the appearance of the young man, but from his figure and the cavalry broadsword in his hand, Hai Canglan had already concluded that this young man was the non-sectarian person who defeated Mo Shenji at yesterday's martial arts trial meeting.

After all, there is really no one in the rivers and lakes like him, carrying a cavalry broadsword around every day.

He is clever, although he is a little thin, but looking at the posture of playing with a big knife, he is indeed infinitely brave.

However, after all, he is still young, his skills are not very profound, and the knife style is not very superb, although the three ghosts of Hanqi were injured by the Phantom Sound Bell of the Eclipse Moon Princess, but with the strength of the three of them, even if they are seriously injured, they can definitely be regarded as first-class masters in the rivers and lakes.

The two sides fought for more than a dozen rounds, and the Westerners gradually lost the upper hand.

The three ghosts were tired of serious injuries and didn't want to fight, they just wanted to kill the people of the West quickly, get out and go back to Baiyinmen to meditate and heal.

Inkcloth Snow Marks and Wind Marks fought with the Westerners in the near distance, and Frost Marks drew the curtain sky bow not far away towards the Westerners who were concentrating on the battle.

"Big brother, second brother, look at me!"

Frost Marks roared, the ink snow marks and wind marks danced the swords in front of the Western Despicable people, and for a while, the sword light and sword shadow surrounded the big swords in the hands of the Western Contempt, and the Western Contemptible people only felt that the cavalry broadsword in their hands seemed to be heavy again, and it was difficult to lift it again, the situation was scorching, the sweat beads on his forehead were rolling down, and he stared intently at the light and shadow of the Moxue Sword and the Bone Frushing Knife, just wanting to find out the flaws in the swords of the two as soon as possible and break them in one fell swoop.

At this moment, an arrow as transparent as ice crystals came out of the string and flew straight towards the chest of the Western Scholar who was concentrating on dismantling the sword and sword styles of the two snow marks......

Suddenly, a dark green figure came from the sky, blocking in front of the Xiqian people, it was Hai Canglan.

Listening to the sound of "boom-boom-boom", the frost-stained invisible arrow was rolled by the snowy long blade in Hai Canglan's hand, slid forward along the blade of the knife, and then made a few turns with the rotating blade, and finally was skimmed by the hard blade, and changed the original route with a bang, and returned to the frost mark of the arrow.

Immediately afterwards, the long knife danced in the dim sky, vigorous and swift and free, one type of moon exploration, one type of splitting stars, one type of broken rainbow, the air through the long rainbow, free and dripping.

Seeing the invisible arrow he shot back towards him along the same path, Frostmark was stunned, but the arrow was in front of him in an instant, and there was no time to be in a daze, so Frostmark hurriedly avoided it with a thrilling head.

Although he dodged his invisible arrow, he still stood in place in disbelief, paused for a moment, and shouted at the snow marks and frost marks that were hurriedly avoided under the Qingfeng knife in front of Hai Canglan at this moment: "Big brother, second brother, how can someone still hit my invisible arrow back like this? This one is not easy to fight, let's withdraw quickly!"

Snow marks and wind marks couldn't be distracted and replied, only the two people in front of them glanced at each other, and then, two ink shadows rose into the air, and Hai Canglan was about to chase it, when suddenly there was a bang, and the smoke around him suddenly rose, so he had to stop.

By the time the smoke cleared, the three ghosts had long since disappeared.

The people of the West came to Hai Canglan and hugged their fists: "More brothers, they just saved their lives." ”

"Brother West is gracious. Hai Canglan replied with a salute and said.

"You know me?" asked the Wester, with some surprise.

"How can I not know the young hero who defeated the young master of Martial Dao Peak Mo Shenji with a cavalry broadsword in the martial arts trial meeting?"

"Brother Tai made fun of it, and on the trial stage, I just narrowly won. Brother Tai is very skilled, in front of Brother Tai, how can I be worthy of the title of young hero? I don't know Brother Tai's surname?" asked the Xihuaren.

"The daimyo doesn't dare, in the sea of vicissitudes. Hai Canglan said.

"Why are you chasing after the three ghosts......? However, I just saw you fighting with the three Snow Marks brothers, and it doesn't look like you're deeply poisoned. Hai Canglan asked a little puzzled.

The West Man nodded and replied, "I am indeed for the antidote, and I should not have been poisoned." ”

"Just in front of the post station, after everyone knew that the poison in their bodies was highly poisonous, all they wanted was to let the people of Mufeng Villa open Yunhua Pavilion in exchange for the antidote. Although the younger brother has not spent much time in the rivers and lakes and has not seen much knowledge, he does not dare to agree. ”

"I heard that the shelves of strange books in Yunhua Pavilion are full, and the people of Mufeng Villa have taken guarding the pavilion as their responsibility for generations, and they have not hesitated to spare their lives. Now that people from all factions are forcing them to open the Yunhua Pavilion for the Flame of the Moon, I don't think it is tolerated by morality. ”

"Moreover, the spirit of Han Zhu is doing evil everywhere, if he really gets the collection of books in Yunhua Pavilion, for the entire martial arts and the whole world, I am afraid that it will set off even greater storms in the future. The West Man continued.

Hai Canglan nodded: "Yes, that's true." ”

The people of the West glanced at Hai Canglan with some reverence, and then said: "When I was originally in my hometown, I admired the heroes in the martial arts very much, and felt that they were skilled, chivalrous, and courageous, serving the country and the people, and doing chivalrous deeds. But in the past few years, I have been walking in the rivers and lakes, but I have been disappointed a lot. ”

"Nowadays, there are many people in the rivers and lakes who are fame-seeking, greedy for life and afraid of death, but there are few truly virtuous knights. Just like what happened in front of the post house today, these people are all famous and status people in the rivers and lakes, but they only value personal life and death, and they don't want to win Yunhua Pavilion and how many disasters will be brought to the people of the world in the future. ”

"I remember that the ink cloth snow mark said that the poison of the fierceness of the Han Zhu was all from the hand of Du Hun, the ghost doctor of Li Rinshu in the holy land of their sect, I wanted to follow them, find the location of Li Rinshu, and arrest the ghost doctor to detoxify everyone. The Xiqian said to Hai Canglan.

Hai Canglan heard him say this, smiled lightly, and said, "Although Brother Xi is young, he is a hero. We should indeed go to find an antidote, instead of forcing a little girl in Mufeng Villa to open the Yunhua Pavilion for the Flame of the Moon. ”

"However, if you want to follow the three ghosts of Han Qi to find Li Rinshu, it is unlikely. Hai Canglan continued.

"Oh, why?" asked the Wester.

"Presumably, the contemptible brothers have not been traveling in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and they don't know much about the fierceness of the Han Dynasty. The Flame of the Hammer has always been mysterious, the killers in the door are all over the ten countries, and the rudder points of the branch hall are countless, almost every city and county has the dark line of the Flame of the Hammer, but its secrecy work is done very well. Although there are many rudder points in the branch, no one knows where it is except for the people in the door. Hai Canglan said.

"Even so, it's so difficult to find a branch hall, not to mention the holy place in the door? Hai Canglan continued.

"Ah, so that's the case, no wonder everyone in front of the post house only thinks about persecuting Mufeng Villa, and they don't think about how to find an antidote. The West shook his head helplessly.

"But, is there really no other way?Also, why did Hai Daxia come here just now?Isn't it to follow the three ghosts?" asked the Xiqian people to Hai Canglan.

Hai Canglan nodded: "I did come to chase the three ghosts." I'm not here to follow, though, I'm just hoping to get a little clue from them about who poisoned someone. ”

"I remember that Snow Mark said in front of the post house just now that the poison and antidote of the Flame of the Devil were brought out by the people on the mission. Everyone was poisoned not long ago, and Han Zhilie still had to exchange the antidote for the collection of books in Yunhua Pavilion, so the person who poisoned him should still be in Mufeng City. As long as you find him, you should be able to find the antidote. Hai Canglan continued.

"This poisoner should be in a branch of the Fierce Soul somewhere in the city. But just now Brother Hai said that the Flame of the Flame is very mysterious, and it is difficult to find even the branch hall, and it is only a few days before the poison occurs, and it is really difficult to do it now. The West frowned and said, with a serious look on his childish face that was rare for an adult to see.

Hai Canglan's expression suddenly moved, and he asked the Xiqian people: "Brother Xi, why are everyone who participated in the martial arts trial meeting poisoned, but you are fine?"

"What, you doubt me?" asked the Wester.

Hai Canglan shook his head: "No, I just want to know how everyone was poisoned." ”

"I don't know why I'm fine. The West said.

Hai Canglan lowered his head and meditated for a moment, and suddenly raised his head: "I remember that Moyi Xueji said that the time for the full poison of the heart is seven days, and now there are five days left. ”

The West contempt nodded: "It seems to have said so." ”

"That means that everyone was poisoned on August 18 or August 19. Hai Canglan continued.

"August 18, August 19...... Eighteen...... Nineteen ......" Hai Canglan began to repeat continuously, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

"August 19!" he called out with a sudden light in his eyes.

"What, Brother Hai, what did you think?" asked the Xiqian hurriedly.

"Brother Xi, where are you on August 18 and 19?" Hai Canglan asked.

"I ...... Eighteen and nineteenth ...... Two days before the martial arts trial, I practiced in the wilderness in the western suburbs during the day and settled in an inn in the west of the city at night. The West said.

"You said you settled in an inn in the west of the city, not a post house in the east of the city?" Hai Canglan asked eagerly.

"Yes, I settled at the Chengxi Inn. There are too many guests in the east of the city, like me, there is no nameless junior in the rivers and lakes, although he won the first examination, but he did not get any scenery, I have been living in the inn since I entered the city, and I have never been to the inn. The West replied.

After Hai Canglan heard what he said, he suddenly hit his right fist in his left palm, and suddenly realized, turned around and left.

Puzzled, the West contemptible people asked in the back, "Brother Hai, where are you going?"

Hai Canglan was just excited for a while, and he ignored the Xiqian people behind him, and after he asked, he immediately turned around: "I want to go back to the post house and verify one thing, if my conjecture is correct, maybe there is really a clue." ”

"Oh, I want to help you find a cure, too. I'll go with you!, and I'll be a helper when I need it!," said the Wester, who ran up to him.

Hai Canglan nodded, and the two of them hurried towards the post house in the east of the city.
