Chapter 53 Now is not the time

The guard who followed them looked at Su Shixia in surprise, and then nodded.

"That's right! Wangfei, you are so powerful that you can even tell this. Among the seven corpses pulled out before, one corpse was indeed found here."

Su Shixia raised his eyebrows and asked: "I heard from them before that the corpses here are all mutilated. As for the corpse that died here, where is his body mutilated?"

"This... small one really can't remember clearly, is it... a hand? It seems to be a hand, right?"

The guard said with an embarrassed expression, "This...I didn't control all the corpses before, I really don't know all of them."

"How about I take you, Wangfei, to a place where I am more familiar with the situation."

Su Shixia's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the guard with a look of scrutiny, but there was nothing strange on his face, he just smiled politely and nodded at him.

"Okay, I'll thank you then."

The guard led Su Shixia around the ruins, pointing out the locations where the seven corpses were found.

Su Shixia went forward to check them one by one, and asked the guard some questions from time to time.

Although the guard gave vague answers to many questions, his attitude was cooperative, so that Su Shixia couldn't find fault with him.

"Here, it should be the highest place in the entire Taoist temple before, right?"

The three of them walked to the center of the Taoist temple together. Judging from the remaining traces, there should be a pagoda here before, but now the entire pagoda has been burned down, completely collapsed into a pile of scorched wood, earth and rocks.

After getting an affirmative answer from the guard, Su Shixia was about to walk towards the height of the ruins stepping on the gravel.

The ground under her feet was really uneven, and Su Shixia tripped just after taking a few steps. Fortunately, Qin Yi followed her and reached out to support her in time.

"What are you trying to do?"

Qin Yi asked with a frown.

Su Shixia raised her finger and pointed to the highest point of the ruined stone pile, "I want to go to a higher place to see if I can see what the entire Taoist temple looks like now."

Qin Yi glanced at the highest point, then looked down at the broken corpses under his feet, pursed his lips, and suddenly stretched out his hand to wrap her slender waist tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't move around."

Su Shixia hadn't realized what he meant by his words. In the next moment, Qin Yi had already jumped into the air with her arms around her body, and the two of them had landed steadily on the highest point of the ruins.

Su Shixia really didn't expect Qin Yi to take the initiative to help so enthusiastically, and he was a little dazed when his feet landed on the ground.

It wasn't until a gust of cold wind blew on her face that she came back to her senses, and immediately twisted her body to get out of Qin Yi's arms. After thanking him in a low voice, she began to carefully observe the people in the Taoist temple below. Condition.

Qin Yi watched Su Shixia slowly turn around on the spot, muttering something in a low voice, and pinched some tricks that he couldn't understand at all.

Finally, as if she had confirmed something, she suddenly squatted down and pressed her hand on the piece of gravel under her feet.

Qin Yi looked at Su Shixia with deeper eyes, and just opened his mouth to ask something, but before he could say anything, the guard who had been waiting below had already yelled loudly.

"Princess, the ruins are piled up with gravel, and there is a danger of collapsing again at any time. You can't stay on it for too long. If you can see enough, hurry down from the top."

Su Shixia looked down at the guard condescendingly with her eyes up, and there was a hint of coldness in her eyes, but she still smiled and replied: "It doesn't matter, I just look at it and don't move around."

"Speaking of which, I'm also quite curious."

Su Shixia pointed at the three or four meter high ruins under her feet and said, "This tower seems to have collapsed badly. When you were looking for the dead body, you never thought of collapsing it. The tower was dug up? Didn’t you check to see if anyone was buried inside?”

"This...we really haven't checked carefully here."

The guard said with a guilty conscience, "Princess, you also saw it when you came. We don't have many people here, and our manpower is really limited."

"The other lower houses are okay and easier to clean up, but this tower... To completely dig up this collapsed tower, the amount of work is too big, so we didn't check it here at all."

"And there are countless people living in this Taoist temple, and there are documents recorded in the government office in the capital."

The guard said: "We have checked before, the Taoist priests who often live in this Taoist temple, with the demon Taoist surnamed Jia, there are only eight people in total."

"Now Taoist Jia has escaped, and the remaining seven Taoist priests are all dead. This happens to be correct, and there should be no problem."

Seeing that Su Shixia didn't respond, the guard thought for a while, and said tentatively: "If you really think there is something strange under this tower, then you can find someone to clean up the ruins, but... then I guess I have to trouble you, Wangfei, to wait here for a few more hours."

The guard said: "After all, the tower collapsed so badly that the concubine also watched it..."

"You can do it if you tell me to do it, where is there so much nonsense!"

Qin Yi became angry when he saw the guard's indifferent appearance.

He led the army outside and always asked his subordinates to act swiftly and decisively, just like this guard, if he was under his command, he would have served on the army stick long ago.

"Yes, my lord! Go and call someone here, little one!"

The guard's expression was so frightened that he immediately turned around to look for someone, but was stopped by Su Shixia.

"Forget it, no need, I just asked a random question out of curiosity. It's not easy for you to come out to perform missions in this winter, so there's no need to keep busy for a long time just because I talk too much."

Seeing Qin Yi frowning and looking at her, as if he wanted to say something more, Su Shixia grabbed his sleeve and shook his head secretly at him.

"My lord, let's go down too. Standing on this high place and blowing the cold wind is really tormenting. The ruins are almost inspected now, and it's time for us to go back."

Qin Yi couldn't figure out why Su Shixia suddenly changed his attitude and wanted to give up searching, but seeing Su Shixia's firm attitude, he didn't ask any further questions, and grabbed her waist again and led her to jump off the pile of rubble.

"Is that the way to go back?" On the way to leave, Qin Yi deliberately quickened his pace and distanced himself from the guard behind them.

After confirming that the person he was talking to could no longer be heard, he lowered his voice and asked, "There is indeed something weird under that tower, are you really going to investigate?"

"Not the time."

Su Shixia's voice was extremely low, and then reminded in a voice that was almost as thin as a mosquito, "There is something wrong with that guard, let's avoid it first, and we will talk about it after we get in the carriage and leave."

Qin Yi's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and he really wanted to look back immediately to see what was wrong with the guard.

But looking at Su Shixia's cautious appearance, he finally restrained his impulse and followed Su Shixia out of the Taoist temple.

As soon as the two stepped out of the gate of the Taoist temple, Ning Runxing pulled Xiao Qin Zhan and Mo Jingzhi over quickly.

Before he got close, Ning Runxing couldn't wait to ask: "How is it? Did you find any clues? That monster walked in a hurry last night. Could it be that he hid the antidote somewhere? Have you found any clues?" A clue to the medicine?"
