Yu Hanyan looked at Qin Yan, there was no joy in his eyes, more worry and fear. She pursed her lips and said with a complicated expression: "Congratulations, you are one step closer to the path to enlightenment. ”

Qin Yan naturally saw that her words were insincere, and asked, "You don't seem to be very happy?"

"Why should my family be happy?" Yu Hanyan sighed faintly, "The closer you are to the Dao, the farther away from my family......"

"But if you don't ......"

Yu Hanyan stretched out a finger against Qin Yan's lips, sealing the rest of his words. She smiled softly and nodded, "My family understands." Get out of here, don't keep them waiting. ”

When the two went out, they saw Gong Yunchong leaning on the railing of the stairs, silently watching the crowd below.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, she said without looking back: "Gu seniors came here just now." ”

Qin Yan snorted coldly: "What is he doing here?"

He said that tomorrow would be a good day, and he wanted to invite Senior Brother Qin to go fishing by the small river in the west outside the town. ”

Yu Hanyan's face changed slightly: "Fishing?

"Tomorrow is exactly the hour. ”

Yu Hanyan turned her head to look at Qin Yan, who happened to be looking at her as well. Qin Yan's expression was very calm, but Yu Hanyan had a worried look on his face.

Gu Wuzhi specially came to invite Qin Yan to fish, naturally it would not be a sudden leisure and elegance. As soon as Qin Yan got the map from the ghost mansion, he came here, did he want to force Qin Yan to hand over the map? Then he couldn't help but think too highly of himself!

Yu Hanyan's thoughts turned rapidly in his mind, and after a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Let's go to Sanguzhuang and find Fairy Liu!"

"Forget it! It's so late, and it may not be safe on the way to Sanguzhuang. Qin Yan waved his hand, "I already owe Miss Liu two favors, but I don't want to owe a third one." There's no need to make a fuss, I'll just go alone tomorrow. ”

"Senior brother!" Yu Hanyan stomped his feet in a hurry.

"Don't worry. I have already cultivated the five supernatural powers, and I am no different from the bodhisattvas of the Buddhist family. Senior sister, when have you ever heard of a Bodhisattva who was poisoned by mortals?"

The next day, Qin Yan went out alone.

The sky is high and cool, the crab is beautiful and the fish is fat, it is a good season for fishing. Qin Yan bought a fishing rod, dug up a box of earthworms by the way, and saw that the time was approaching, so he walked towards the west gracefully.

No matter what Gu Wuzhi's idea was, Qin Yan really only planned to fish anyway.

When he arrived, Gu Wuzhi was already waiting by the river. The old demon sat on a large clean stone, his cane was still on his side, holding a thin bamboo pole in his hand, looking at Qin Yan and smiling.

Gray clothes, lily hats, old men, but a bit of the style of ancient scholars. But as soon as he spoke, this casual and elegant style was completely destroyed: "Yesterday a person died in the gambling den. ”

Qin Yan walked over, found a place to sit down, nodded and said, "Six-fingered divine thief, I heard that he is a good master." ”

"Isn't it strange that a good master was scared to death?"

"It's kind of weird. Qin Yan looked at him and thought to himself, could this be your old man's masterpiece?

Gu Wuzhi saw his eyes and said leisurely: "The old man also thinks it's very strange, so he specially inquired about the maid of the six-fingered divine thief, haha, the result is really wonderful!"

Although Qin Yan was determined not to be soft on Gu Wuzhi, he couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, so he said, "What kind of magic method?"

Gu Wuzhi touched his beard and smiled strangely: "That maid slept until noon, but she didn't know that the master she served had an accident. ”

Qin Yan slapped his thigh and shouted, "She was drugged!" In fact, he didn't have to act so exaggerated, but Gu Wuzhi hoped to see him like this, so he would slowly shake out the burden proudly. Qin Yan was aroused by his curiosity, so he had to cooperate with him.

Gu Wuzhi smiled and shook his head: "The old man walked around her room and checked all the clothes she wore and the bowls she used, and there was no residue of any medicine. ”

Qin Yan blinked, speechless. He believed that the old devil had not only looked at the clothes and cups, but also examined the woman's body in depth. As soon as he thought of the scene of "a pear tree pressing begonias", he had no interest in praising it.

He lowered his head, took out a silk thread from the bamboo pole, and silently threaded the buoy made of chicken feathers.

Gu Wuzhi raised his head, as if he was reminiscing about the afterglow of that night, or waiting for Qin Yan to speak. After a long time, he said slowly: "The old man asked the guy in the shop again: When did the six-fingered thief return to the room? The guy replied even better: When did he come back? He went out early yesterday morning and never came back at all. This guy is not the only one, everyone else says so. He glanced at Qin Yan meaningfully, and seemed to mumble to himself, "Even if a person can penetrate the wall, can he hide the eyeliner of so many people in the gambling den?"

"No, you can't. Qin Yan finally spoke.

"So how did the six-fingered thief inexplicably walk in and die in his room?"

Qin Yan threw the fish hook into the river, pondered for a moment, and said, "Because the six-fingered divine thief was already dead the night before. The six-fingered thief who walked out in the morning was actually another person. ”

"It's an interesting guess!" Gu Wuzhi showed an appreciative look, "It's really rare to be able to think of this without any news." ”

Qin Yan was disgusted by the tone of appreciating the juniors, and frowned, "Am I guessing wrong?"

Gu Wuzhi nodded and smiled: "Because yesterday morning, after the old man came out of the ghost mansion, he happened to see the six-fingered divine thief. At that time, he was still alive and greeted the old man. ”

Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gu Wuzhi in astonishment.

Gu Wuzhi's gaze fell on the buoy, as if he was intently waiting for the big fish to take the bait.

The river flows slowly, and the distant mountains are picturesque. The old poison stared at the sparkling water, as if it had entered an invisible realm.

At that scene, Qin Yan couldn't bear to disturb him, but in the end, he couldn't help coughing and said, "Senior, then do you know how the six-fingered divine thief died?"

Gu Wuzhi smiled: "Before this morning, the old man was only fifty percent sure. But now the old man can be sure that this tragedy was done by an old friend. ”

Qin Yan's eyelids jumped. Old Poison Old Friend...... Looks like another headache guy!

He humbly asked Gu Wuzhi for advice: "Which predecessor did the ancient predecessor say?"

Gu Wuzhi sighed and said, "His name is Finger Picking." You probably haven't heard the name. ”

"This ......" is also strange to say, how come I have never heard of such an arrogant and arrogant name before?

The name is like the glowing star in the sky, representing turmoil and foreboding. Every time he appears, he brings a lot of blood and carnage, which is even better than those famous demons. That's exactly what the old man called you for. From now on, you have to be careful with everyone around you, because they may be the embodiment of the finger pick. ”
