Chapter 36: Clues

The dusk is coming to an end, the night is closed, and the waning moon above the vast sky is like a hook, and the silver stars are full of paintings. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The flowers and leaves on the vast land are falling, the branches and grass are yellow, and the Scarlet Moon Xiangju, who has been running around for a day in the stable of the Splendid Workshop, has finished eating the horse food, and it stands very straight, with its eyes half-closed, and only those who have raised horses know that such a horse is sleeping.

Horses are different from people, when they come to the world, they will stand up on their own, learn to run on their own, and will not fall down no matter what difficulties they experience in their lives, even if they sleep, they will stand, and only when they die, will they fall. And what about people? They can even choose to fall on their own, and if people have the spirit of a horse, will there be anything that they can't do?

After the four of them returned to the Splendid Workshop, Yang Yixiao didn't even eat dinner and went back to the house, Xu Jinyu cooked by himself, Shi Ziyu had a big meal, she didn't want to go back to the room to rest so soon, but she was embarrassed to stay in Qi Chu's room and didn't leave, so she had to leave reluctantly.

Qi Chu closed the door and sat down, and today in Jun Modu, it was confirmed that Su Qianli was dead, but the water in the coffin indicated that someone must have opened the coffin when it rained last night. According to Sheling's truth, since he wanted to burn the coffin, he would not open it, so who was going to open the coffin in the rain? What did this person do after opening the coffin? Could it be that there are other people behind this besides Nanzhao? Or is there a force?

Qi Chu's brows were tightly locked, and his heart was inextricably linked, as if he had a little clue, someone sent a note telling him that if he wanted to find Qianli, he would marry Lingxue first. After he designed to marry Shu Lingxue, she fled on the night of the wedding. Qi Chu and Lan Ting searched for her traces all the way, and found that the traces had disappeared outside the nameless town. When he and Lan Ting entered the nameless town and settled in the only inn, there was an old ghost Xu San who wanted to assassinate him. Later, Lan Ting killed Xu San's old ghost. Thinking of this, Qi Chu stopped, and pondered in his heart:

That day, Lan Ting said that he saw that Xu San's old ghost's face had rotted, and the two deduced that he had committed suicide, but at that time he was interrupted by Shi Ziyu, who suddenly appeared. Will Lan Ting still have something to tell himself.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door: "Childe, I'm back, have you eaten?"

Lan Ting pushed open the door, holding a bowl of noodles in his hand, and the noodles were steaming hot white in the cold night.

Qi Chu's eyes were like torches, and he said, "That night, you found that Xu San's old ghost's face was rotten, but what else was abnormal?"

only heard the sound of "pop", the porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered, Lan Ting's little face turned pale, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, which was cold sweat!

"I ......" he was so scared that he couldn't speak.

Qi Chu thought that he was afraid that he had guessed correctly, so he comforted him at the moment: "There is me here, you just have to say it." He pulled Lan Ting down in a chair and poured him a glass of water.

Lan Ting drank a few sips of water before his face turned bloody, "That night I carried the corpse of Xu San's old ghost and wanted to find a place to bury it, that was the first time I killed someone, and I was scared to death." Childe also told me not to look at the face of the first person who died at my hands, otherwise I will never forget it for the rest of my life. Originally, I didn't want to see it. Lan Ting raised his head and looked at Qi Chu, with fear and remorse in his eyes.

"I said this last time, so keep saying. Qi Chu said

"I turned his body over, and I saw that his face was decomposed, and, and. He couldn't go any longer, and he had begun to vomit, presumably seeing something that was both frightening and disgusting.

"Speak slowly. Qi Chu patted him on the back and thought: It's really embarrassing for this kid to be by his side.

Lan Ting wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "His face is rotten and unrecognizable, and there are slender maggots crawling out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. I was so scared that my legs were weak, and it was common for the dead to have maggots, but I really hadn't seen maggots born less than an hour after they died. And there were so many maggots that I was so frightened that my legs went limp, and then the maggots bit through his skin and came out of his neck. Blood-stained maggots crawl everywhere, where do I dare to linger, pick up the shovel and run. ”

"What shovel?" Qi Chu asked

"Well, nothing. Lan Ting remembered that the shovel used to dig the grave that night was the rice shovel used to cook for Qi Chu on weekdays, and if the son knew about it, he wouldn't have dismantled himself. Then he changed the topic and asked, "Childe, do you think this is strange?"

Qi Chu said calmly: "It's not strange, it's a kind of Gu called maggot food in Miao Jiang." This kind of Gu was hidden in the pill, and the person who gave the Gu secretly asked people to take it or the other party voluntarily took it. Because of the high temperature in the body, the pill will melt once it enters it. The maggots that hide inside will crawl out, and they will reproduce by eating people's internal organs. Those maggots grew up eating aphrodisiacs, so the rate of reproduction is dozens of times, or even hundreds of times, faster than ordinary ones. Once the human internal organs have been eaten, they will bite through the host's skin and crawl out. ”

Lan Ting froze, "This method is too disgusting, isn't it, so Xu San's old ghost has been ordered to eat maggots?"

Qi Chu said: "He took it himself." ”

"Ahh

Qi Chu said: "Now that I think about it, he should have bitten the pill at the same time as he pounced on me, which is why maggots multiply so much in such a short period of time." ”

Lan Ting asked, "It seems that we are right, he must have committed suicide." But there are many ways to commit suicide, so why use such a cruel and disgusting method?"

Qi Chu said: "Although this maggot eating Gu is cruel, it can make the face of the person who consumes it rot in a short period of time, so that no one can recognize it. And after the maggots crawl out of the body, they will continue to gnaw at the corpse, not only eating the host's corpse, but also eating the clothes on the body. ”

"Why did Xu San old ghost do this?"

Qi Chu said: "Because he doesn't want us to find something from his corpse." ”

Lan Ting asked, "What does he want to destroy?"

Qi Chu said: "Ledger!"

Lan Ting nodded and said, "No wonder I searched the inn and didn't have any account books." ”

Qi Chu nodded, and the room fell silent.

If the old ghost Xu San uses this vicious method to conceal his identity and destroy the ledger, then the ledger must be very important, but what is written in it? I heard that the old ghost Xu San has no friends in his life, so no one can blackmail him. If he exchanged the ledger with Qi Chu, with Qi Chu's character, he would definitely let him go, didn't he know this? A person who has nothing to worry about can actually use his life to protect a secret, so what is this secret?

Qi Chu couldn't figure it out.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Lan Ting opened the door, Xu Jinyu walked in, holding an invitation card in his hand, and said: "This is sent by the Passing Water Villa, saying that I learned that the Flowing Light Princess's master is in Yangzhou, and I specially invite you to gather at the villa tomorrow." ”

Xu Jinyu put down the invitation card and said to himself: "In this world, even Fei Ning has made money by sending letters, is it possible that the Passing Water Villa gives more?"

As soon as she turned around, Qi Chu stood up from the chair violently, "Who did you say sent the letter?"

Xu Jinyu was taken aback and said, "Isn't it the Lost Water Villa?"

Qi Chu hurriedly said: "Who did you just say makes money by sending letters?"

Xu Jinyu said: "The iron fist is invincible Fei Ning, hey, it's a pity that I have a lot of kung fu." ”

Qi Chu's heart tightened, Fei Ning died at the hands of Lan Ting at the inn that day, and asked, "He didn't die?"

Xu Jinyu looked at him inexplicably and said, "Fei Ning is dead?" ”

Lan Ting was dumbfounded, "I, I, he was killed by me." ”

Xu Jinyu looked at the two, "Xiao Lanting, are you stupid?

Qi Chu stood on the spot, his heart was like a shock, he saw Fei Ning die at the hands of Lan Ting that day, why did he live again today? Is it really haunted?

Xu Jinyu won't lie, Fei Ning really didn't die. So what about the iron-headed invincible Tong Huan and the iron-armed invincible Guo Mao that day?

At this time, Qi Chu, in addition to shock, was still shocked in his heart!

He stayed up all night, and many questions welled up in his heart.

What is recorded in the ledger that Xu San is desperately protecting?

Where is Shu Lingxue now?

Why did the person who sent the message disappear again?

Also, is Shering's words credible?
