The wind blew into the open window, the candles in the room were blown flickering, the two old men were lying on the only bed in the room and snorting, Lao Huang leaned on the corner of the wall and lay on his knees to nap, the sword box did not leave his side, the two monks did not chant the scriptures, just sat there and didn't know what to think, Li Yuhu just stood in front of the window in a daze, his figure was covered by the candlelight, and the remaining three Jiang family sons, who had become one of the wasters, had been sitting there with his eyes closed.

It seems that no matter how you look at it, only you are so impatient.

The sword has no way to seek. "You still haven't said that this bull head mask has anything to do with the Demon Cult. ”

Sima Yun didn't feel impatient, he said.

"The people in the Demon Sect act strangely, so they have been hidden in the rivers and lakes for many years and have not been discovered, and now the case of the destruction of the Budweiser Dart Bureau may also be related to the Demon Sect, as for the bull head mask in my hand, this mask alone can scare a man in the prime of life into silly, I'm afraid it's not just a mask, I think we have to go back, maybe the owner of this mask is a person in the Demon Sect, after all, I've never heard of a famous and decent person who wears this kind of mask out of the rivers and lakes, right?"

"Your explanation is a bit far-fetched, and maybe it's a decent person who wants to do something shady, so he just acts with a mask. Although Jian Wuqiu admires Sima Yun's whimsy, he still says another possibility, after all, although there are many evil demons and foreign ways that he has seen over the years, there are not a few righteous things that are dressed in the cloak of famous and decent people, and some things are either ignored, since they have to be managed, they must be managed to the end.

Sima Yun doesn't deny it either.

"You're right, it's possible, but either way, we should go to the place where the mask was found. Clues don't come up with something that can be found sitting in a room and discussing. ”

Mouse face said that the place where the mask was found was on the river, more than half a month has passed since now, even if there are clues in such a long world, it may not be left now, when the four people found the mouse face, the mouse face really became a rat crossing the street Everyone shouted and beat, and after breaking his legs, he was thrown into his old house and left to fend for himself, as for the young woman was even more miserable, and I didn't know which relative of the crazy man's family was an official in the imperial court, knowing that his distant relative was so humiliated and furious, a piece of paper came down and let the people solve it themselves, even if they made a fuss to the government, they couldn't interfere, so the young woman couldn't stand the graves of so many people in the town, was naked and thrown into the estrus horse pen, as for the end, there is no need to say much, according to the picture memory that the corpse collector went to collect the corpse to see, the woman's lower body has been torn, and she died in the horse pen in pain.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, when Sima Yun got the news again, he didn't expect that his casual words would be confirmed so quickly, and he sighed that it was a pity that the young woman didn't want them to kill her last night, if she took her life last night, how could she suffer this round of abuse before she died?

Moreover, I feel that there are few officials who are fuel-efficient lamps, and they can control people's hearts to such a point, knowing that dying in the anger of the people is far more painful than dying in the hands of the government.

When he found the mouse face, the man who was still sweating on the young woman last night had become a half-dead wild dog curled up on the bed, his legs were swollen like an elephant's legs, and Sima Yun only glanced at it lightly and knew that these legs were immortal and difficult to save.

"If you had known that you would pay such a big price for being happy for a while, would you still choose to create such a big sin?"

Sima Yun was still interesting enough in the end, and he brought a pot of analgesic soju when he came, and he didn't care whether the painful dead and alive mouse face was willing to drink it or not, so he poured the whole pot into his mouth, in his words, wine is the best thing that can numb the pain temporarily.

A pot of soju went down to his stomach, and after relieving the pain, the rat's face was no longer conscious, and he only knew how to do as Sima Yun ordered, and was carried by Jian Wuqiu until he found the river where the bull's head mask was found.

The small river flows, this place seems to be very rarely visited, and the footprints left by the mouse's face half a month ago are clear, saving a lot of trouble of worrying about not finding clues.

Sima Yun looked at the geographical location of this trickling river, Jian Wuqiu put the mouse face on the ground, and only asked what should this guy do?

"Of course I just left it here, otherwise what else can I do? I can't bother you Sword Master to carry it back in person, I don't think I have such a big face. ”

"Well, you're in your right mind. ”

Jian Wuqiu threw the mouse face directly in the bushes like this, and when he wanted to fall asleep, he was either taken by the beast, or he was sucked clean by the leeches and leeches and other small animals in the bushes, leaving only an empty shell, and Jian Wuqiu did not remember what year and month he was and heard that leeches multiplied in the human body, and directly turned the person into an empty shell, and later when the people found the corpse, the person was already left with only a skin, and there is probably nothing more terrifying in this world than being bred in the body by these things and eating up all the internal organs, such a way of dying may not be much worse than the woman who was ruined and killed by the horse that was spring。

In this way, it can be regarded as the real retribution of the dog man and woman.

Therefore, the most important sentence that a man should remember in his life is a knife on the head of the color word.

Sima Yun walked upstream along the flowing river, and did not forget to search for clues along the way, so he didn't stop until he walked up about two miles, and there was a pond under him, but two zhang square, surrounded by strange rocks, the pond was soaked in a corpse that had been rotting for a long time, the lower body of the corpse was soaked in water, and the upper body had already been unrecognizable, and he could only see dense maggots crawling on the corpse, and there were already many fish of different sizes around the corpse eager to try, thinking that he had coveted the gourmet maggots on the corpse for a long time, Jiang Ming's stomach was surging, if he didn't know that he really spit it out, he was afraid that he would be ridiculed by Jian Wuqiu again, I'm afraid that I can't help but pollute this clear pond water right now.

Sima Yun took out the bull head mask, jumped into the water surface of the pond like a dragonfly, and threw the bull head mask into the pond, the center position was gentle, but the surrounding area was turbulent, just when Jian Wuqiu didn't know why Sima Yun acted like this, the bull head mask turned a few circles in the middle of the pool, and after everyone saw it, it flowed down from the strange rocks and crags downstream that just happened to pass through the gap of this mask.

Sima Yun returned to the shore in two steps, and when he looked at the corpse that had been dragged into the middle of the pool by the fish, he already had a different look in his eyes, and he said softly.

"That's right, this is it, if what I'm talking about is correct, this mask should flow down from here, and this person in the pond should be the owner of the mask. ”

Jian Wuqiu said, "You can't necessarily see anything just by looking at a corpse, and if you don't say whether this mask is from this corpse, even if it is, what can it prove?"

"Don't you think it's strange that a man wearing a bull's head mask died in the wilderness?

The sword is unbelievable and the way is again.

"How can you be so sure of what you can see with just one pair of eyes? Could it be that with one pair of eyes, you can restore a decomposing corpse?"

"Of course I can't. But the one behind you can. ”

Sima Yun is talking about Li Yuhu, what he wants to say is that if there is anyone in the world who knows the structure of the human body best, then this person has absolutely no one else except Li Yuhu, because Li Yuhu is a person who has eaten people, fortunately, Sima Yun did not directly say that this can make people unable to eat for half a month, probably to take care of Jiang Ming's emotions, otherwise I am afraid that Jiang Ming will immediately turn around and leave with such a sentence.

It's a pity that Jian Wuqiu never understands the mystery of Sima Yun's words, but Li Yuhu has lived for a long time and has seen countless people, so he knows the structure of the human body very well.

Since he was involved with Li Yuhu, he had to believe it even if he had doubts.

Li Yuhu also took Sima Yun's words.

"That's right, this person is a master of both internal and external cultivation at a glance, his tiger mouth is powerful, and his fingers are slender, so a pair of hands should be with heavy weapons, not with swords, should be with knives or axes and other weapons, should not be axes, as far as I know, there are almost a few people in the world who choose axes to enter the martial arts, but there are no knives here, you and I all know, a person with strong martial arts always has to be on guard against being plotted by others, because the higher the martial arts, the more enemies, so you always see drunkards most of the time with their own wine jugs, and swordsmen, almost even when they sleep, whether it is a knife or an axe, can make a master forget to bring a knife, usually only run for his life, he must have met a more powerful master than him, I can only deduce so much, unless we can restore his body in its entirety, otherwise we will never know how this guy died, and we will not know why a mask alone can scare that man crazy. ”

Sima Yundao.

"So the most important thing now is this mask, I'm afraid that only by figuring out where this mask came from can I get the whole thing out of the ground, I have a good idea, but I don't know if some people are willing to do it. ”

When he said this, he only consciously or unintentionally looked at the sword without asking.

The latter was given goosebumps by Sima Yun's gaze, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he said coldly.

"If you have anything to say, just say it quickly, don't hide some of the girl's hypocrisy, this is what Lao Tzu annoys the most. ”

Sima Yun laughed.

"Then I'll just say, I see that you really have nothing to do lately, so why don't you just take this bull's head mask and walk around the last hundred miles in the past few days? ”

"You're going to kill me. ”

The sword is heartbroken.

"You all said that this guy must have died, I think he must have offended a master who is more powerful than him, if there is only one person, then it's okay, Lao Tzu pondered that even if he is a terrifying master, as long as he fights hard, I can run a way, but if I provoke a large group of people, what should I do? ”

"Are you still afraid of this? When you came out of the rivers and lakes in the year of the crown, you broke into the name of a sword demon in just two years, how can you count the big and small battles you have experienced on two hands? How can you care about this siege, right? So I said that as long as you want to, there is nothing you can't do. ”

"Alas, Sima Little Fox, you don't want to bring me these high hats again, if you said this from the years when you were young and frivolous, I don't think there is anything, but now compared with the old man and these people, the gap between me and them is not a star and a half, and I am ashamed to say so, don't you just want me to lure the snake out of the hole? ”

Jian Wuqiu really walked away with the cow head mask, and walked all over the radius of a hundred miles in the three days that Sima Yun had not left the inn, the first time was to take advantage of the night to go to a village like a crazy man's house, and did not get any results, the second time he learned a little smarter, and went directly to a restaurant, in front of so many diners in the restaurant, he took out the cow head mask and played with it carefully, except for provoking a group of strange eyes, he still found nothing, on the third day, Jian Wuqiu was really unwilling, so he directly took the bull head mask in broad daylight to swagger through the market, and sure enough, there was a situation just after night。

He was about to take off his mask when he was stopped by two men who seemed to be ordinary but had a restrained atmosphere.

One of the Mai men said.

"Sanren hasn't shown up for so long, and I don't know where he went, and now the left envoy has not replied to the matter, and I hope that Sanren will bring a reply back this time, so as not to worry about the left envoy. ”

Just such a sentence, but in the mask under the sword Wuqiu heart turned up a storm, the rivers and lakes have never heard of any scattered people left envoy name, think about it, it seems that only the Demon Sect that has not shown up so far will call the sect members like this, it turns out that Sima Yun is really right by mistake, this mask really has a great origin.

Jian Wuqiu's heart was pounding, but fortunately, he was not worried about being seen by the two opposites through a mask, he didn't know if the scattered person was the corpse he saw two days ago, but he was worried that it was okay not to speak, but now when he spoke, would he be recognized immediately?

The two little minions of the Demon Sect in front of them were just waiting for Jian Wuqiu to reply, and if Jian Wuqiu didn't speak, I was afraid that someone would be aware of it.

After thinking about it, Jian Wuqiu deliberately lowered his voice and said in a deep voice.

"Go back and tell the left envoy that everything is in my plan. ”

The voice was low, and although the two little minions sounded different from the previous Sanren, they thought that no one in the world would have a second mask that was exactly the same, so the suspicions in their hearts were dispelled.

Little minion.

"In this case, then the two of us went back to tell the left envoy that is, but the left envoy asked me to inform a few, now that the sect leader has been out of the customs, and he has sent the nine princes out of the black water cliff, the left envoy instructed the scattered people to be careful, after all, our ninth prince's character is also understood, not to mention that he and the left envoy have always been incompatible, and his subordinates are afraid that if the scattered people meet with the ninth prince, the ninth prince may not easily let the scattered people feel better. ”

"Really?"

Unwilling to easily miss such hard-won major news, Jian Wuqiu does not intend to let the two little minions go, since he is here, if he doesn't say more words from the mouths of these two little minions, wouldn't the three days of showing up be in vain?

The sword is not required to seem to have disdain.

"Is the Ninth Prince very powerful? Could it be that he can still deal with me and Zuo at the same time?"

"This ......"

The little minion made a difficulty, this is really not a question easy to answer, if it is said that the two of them are no match for the ninth prince, I am afraid that the murderous scattered people in front of him will immediately take the lives of the two of them, if it is worth it, it is too ignorant of conscience to speak, after all, the ninth prince is domineering, and the left envoy has suffered many times and the sect members have seen it, but it is just because of the left envoy's face, and he is unwilling to say it directly.

It took only three or two breaths to think about how to answer the question, but when I got to the two little minions, it seemed that it had been a long time for several years, and finally the clouds opened and the moon was bright, and the little minions probably spent all the wisdom of this life to come up with an answer.

"Where did the Sanren say, if the Nine Princes are righteous and bright and fight with the Scattered Left Envoy, they will naturally have no chance of winning, what I am afraid of is what kind of conspiracy and trickery the Nine Princes make, and when the time comes, the three of them and the Left Envoy will suffer losses, but how can it be good?"

The reason why I say this is probably because the murderous guy in front of him is too difficult to figure out, so he has such a two-faced and exquisite answer.

Sure enough, the bull-headed man didn't have any oversses after this sentence, he just said lightly.

"Even if you two are honest, no matter how powerful he is, he Ninth Son can't be the opponent of me and Zuo Envoy, but I'm a little curious, what did the sect leader send him out for?

"This is not a problem that villains can be qualified to know, now the major masters in the sect are almost out of the Black Water Cliff, the grudges in the past can not be solved in the Black Water Cliff, but in this river and lake, I am afraid that there will be a lot of open and secret fighting, in a word, the left envoy instructed the two of me to bring a message to the scattered people, we must be careful and careful, and the eventful autumn cannot tolerate the slightest difference. ”

Seeing that this short meeting was about to end, Jian Wuqiu was still unwilling, thinking about the content of the current conversation and saying some more words, he said again.

"According to what you mean, the left envoy is still in the Blackwater Cliff, right? What about the right envoy? Why don't you mention him?"

Jian Wuqiu regretted it after saying this, because at this time he obviously felt that there was something wrong with the emotions of the two little minions, but now that the words have been spoken, I am afraid that even if he wants to regret it, he will not have a chance, Jian Wuqiu reacted very quickly in the end, and he immediately followed.

"What? What is wrong with what I said? It seems that you two are not from my sect, right? You must have come to pretend that our people are here to trick me, but fortunately I have a little more mind, pretending to ask about the situation of the right envoy, you are so slow to react, I think I expected it to be good, then I will send you on your way. ”

"Wait. ”

Jian Wuqiu was about to make a move when the two little minions were shocked, and then hurriedly said.

"It turns out that Sanren took the initiative to test us and others, so as long as the two of us are right, we don't have to die, right?"

Jian Wuqiu retracted his palm.

"That's right. ”

The two little minions were like being pardoned, and then they said again.

"Since the death of the last right envoy in Heishui Cliff, this right envoy has not shown up yet, even the scattered people you should not have seen, we don't know, where did we know the whereabouts of the right envoy?"

Don't know the whereabouts of the right envoy?

Jian Wuqiu was surprised, and he had already believed the words of these two little minions.

"That's it, it seems that you two are really from my sect, that's right, and one last question, you have seen other people in my sect show up nearby?"

The little minion shook his head.

"No, but it's not long since the Budweiser Dart Bureau was wiped out, presumably in addition to the scattered people, there are also many other masters in the sect who are hiding there, after all, the thing we want to get after such a big move has not been obtained, and the left envoy will definitely not give up so well. ”

"I see. ”

Jian Wuqiu nodded in a deep voice.

"Go ahead, I'll come to you for something. ”

It was clear that he didn't say a few words to the bull-headed man, but the two little minions seemed to have really walked in the Hades Palace, and hurriedly nodded yes, but probably the two of them didn't think of it before they turned around and walked a few steps, and then two hands locked the throats of the two, only to hear the sound of bones breaking, and the two fell to the ground without making a sound.

......

"Why did you kill them? Wouldn't it be better to keep them to report the news? When the time comes, we don't need to do it, and someone else will send it to the door by themselves, won't it get twice the result with half the effort?"

Sima Yun was a little incomprehensible when he heard what had happened, but he was not to the point of anger, smart people look at everyone with the eyes of smart people, only stupid people will only think that they are the smartest people.

The sword has no way to seek.

"In vain, you Sima Yun is conceited and all-rounder, but when it comes to old scheming, you are ten Jiang Ming worse than Lao Tzu. ”

Ignoring the eldest son of the Jiang family who trembled three times with his hand holding the tea, Jian Wuqiu continued to dance with his eyebrows.

"I'm afraid you're trying to pull out the Demon Sect so much that you forgot even the most important step, think about it, people have said that there are many factions in the Demon Sect, so who do you think the Minotaur is most likely to die at? Of course, it's their own people, if I let the two of them go back, and the two of them say that I'm still alive, won't they all know that I'm pretending? How will I lure the snake out of the hole when the time comes?"

"Makes sense. ”

For the first time, Sima Yun nodded so affirmatively.

"According to what you said, I'm really a little concerned. ”

"That's not it? That's why I said that brainstorming is the most correct, and you can't just say everything. ”

"Really?"

Sima Yun seemed to be smiling.

"Then have you ever thought that you killed those two little minions like this, and who will help us spread the news that the masked man is still alive? Only if he is alive will he attract those who want to kill him, after all, he has already died in the river when we found the masked man, if he died directly in front of those people, how could he be so kind to leave a whole corpse, right? Only a fool will leave a corpse for people to find out why the masked man died, and I don't believe that people in the Demon Sect are fools, so I said that you are smart but you are clever and mistaken. ”

"That's not it. ”

Only then did he recover his trembling right hand, and Jiang Ming fell down the stone path.

"After all, the little cleverness still can't get on the big stage. ”

Jian Wuqiu was speechless, his old face was flushed, and he only held back a sentence in the end.

"No matter how clever I am, I'm afraid I'm much better than some people who can't even climb a tree. ”

Jiang Ming said lightly: "Is the sword demon who used to be famous in the rivers and lakes now reduced to the point where he can only bully a wasted person?"

"Okay, okay, don't argue, it's never interesting to talk about it. ”

Sima Yun became a peacemaker again.

"It's no pity to kill it now, those two little minions said that the reason why the Demon Sect was destroyed was just to want something, don't you want to know what is so tempting?"

The sword has no way to seek. "What? Do you still want to take food from the tiger's mouth? That's the Demon Cult. ”

Sima Yundao.

"That's right, I know they're a demon sect, but so what? The demon sect is also made up of people, since it's a human being, I don't think there's anything in the world that can be called a demon than killing my own teacher, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of, right?"

"I'm too lazy to talk to you so much. ”

He will never be able to take advantage of Sima Yun, so he simply didn't say anything about it, and let Sima Yun make up his own mind, but Li Yuhu was a little uncertain.

"The Demon Sect has been hiding the rivers and lakes for so many years, even I am lonely and unheard, and now I have gone out of the rivers and lakes for such a thing, and Jiangnan is so disturbed, I don't think that thing is easy to provoke. ”

"What you said is true, but think about the road we have walked along the way, everything we have done, and which one of them can be done by ordinary people? So Sima Yun often warns himself that he will only do it when he thinks of it, if he doesn't even dare to think about it, I'm afraid that even if the great opportunity is in front of you, you won't know how to do it. ”

Li Yuhu said softly: "Maybe this is not an opportunity, but it will bury all the previous gains, if so, you are willing to gamble?"

Sima Yun said: "Naturally, I am willing, I, Sima Yun, even dare to slaughter the true dragon of the land, how can I be afraid of a demon sect that hides its head and tail?"

It was clear that he would come to Jiangnan to send a letter from the deceased in the past, but who would have thought that he would be involved in the Demon Sect by accident?

Fortunately, Sima Yun was not in a hurry to send such a letter that would not say anything even if he did not fulfill the agreement, and the group of them walked south in a low-key manner again, until they reached the place where the two little minions who were strangled to death by Jian Wuqiu said that the people in the Demon Sect were entrenched, and also inquired about the location of the Budweiser Dart Bureau, and knew that all the neighbors in the vicinity had moved out of that area because they were unwilling to be disturbed by the unjust spirits.

"What's the matter? Do you plan to let me wear this mask and wander around the street? Maybe Huang Youyouyou will shake out the two little minions who are very powerful Nine Princes, and I'm afraid there will be a good show when the time comes." ”

"There's no need to do this for the time being, when you come to this place, you have to find out first, presumably the place that the people in the Demon Sect are looking for is the Lin family's mansion, so they have come up with so many rumors and scary, they shouldn't have succeeded in that thing, why don't we take this opportunity to go to the Lin family to explore and see if we can have luck that thing is found out by us first." ”
