"It must be Luo An!" Luo Li's face sank, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"Cai Ji's parents are his friends, and he actually plotted behind the scenes!"

She reasoned confidently:
"Eighteen years ago, Luo An and Cai Ji's parents came here to search for treasures. Maybe they found something. Luo An suddenly attacked them from behind."

"He is a master of martial arts. It is not surprising that he uses the Dragon Claw. After killing Cai Ji's parents, he took their things and left as if nothing had happened."

"How old was Cai Ji at that time, and Cai Quan'er was just born. How could the two of them know the strangeness of their parents' death? When they grew up, they thought that their parents died in other places."

"The brothers and sisters of the Cai family did not expect that the gentle and amiable Uncle Luo was the murderer who killed their parents."

Lu Pianpian looked around the corpse for a while, took out the jug, took a gulp of wine, and said slowly:
"Since Luo An killed Cai Ji's parents, why did he help their brothers and sisters to grow up smoothly?"

"The brothers and sisters of the Cai family grew up eating a lot of food, but they are also thanks to Luo An's care, right?"

"Could it be that he felt guilty after killing his friend? Is he the kind of person who would feel guilty?"

She shook her head lightly, her eyes were dark, and she said slowly and firmly:

"It wasn't Luo An who killed it. Because, I know who killed it."

"Who?" Luo Li's innocent face was full of doubts.

Lu Pianpian smiled, "It's your grandfather, Tang Yaoshi!"

"What? My grandfather?" Luo Li's eyes widened, "How is that possible?"

"Didn't you say that it was a martial arts master who killed them? Eighteen years ago, my grandfather must have been a venerable cultivator."

Because of her oath, Lu Pianpian could not tell Luo Li that Tang Yaoshi was the true priest, her master.

But Su Chuo can tell Luo Li.

So Luo Li has already learned from Su Chuo that her grandfather Tang Yaoshi is the master of Zhensi, Lu Pianpian's master.

"Hey." Lu Pianpian said, "Look at the wound, the person who killed Cai Ji's parents is indeed a martial arts master."

"Eighteen years ago, your grandfather was the second-rank dominance. But this is his strongest cultivation in the way of poison. And your grandfather not only practiced the way of poison, he also practiced martial arts."

"Eighteen years ago, not only was he a second-grade Poison Master, but he also happened to be a martial arts master! Martial arts are a level lower than poisonous arts."

"He doesn't use the strongest poison to kill people, of course it is to cover up the identity of the Tang family."

"This old guy, I know him too well."

If Luo Li shook his head, "Based on this alone, you can say that Tang Yaoshi is the murderer? Could it be that Luoan couldn't be a martial arts master 18 years ago?"

Lu Pianpian said: "You are so smart, you should have thought that Luo An did not kill you. But your preconceived ideas are blinding your eyes."

"This is the darkness under the lights."

Luo Li patted his forehead, "I got it! Luo An is an extremely cautious person, and he doesn't show his feet in front of his family. How could he kill someone and leave his body behind?"

"If he really killed him, with his character, he will definitely not leave a corpse."

"Leaving such obvious clues is simply not in line with his style of doing things."

Lu Pianpian nodded, "That's right. Besides, if Luo An really kills Cai Ji's parents, he will kill the grass and roots, and will not leave Cai Ji siblings behind."

"Of course, based on this alone, I can't conclude that the murderer is Tang Yaoshi, but I still have evidence!"

She pointed to the wound on the bone, "The claw mark on the right is weaker than the claw mark on the left. What does it mean?"

Luo Li understood, "It means that the murderer's left hand has stronger attack power."

"Yes." Lu Pianpian smiled, "Your grandfather's martial arts is precisely because he is accustomed to using his left hand, which is stronger in attacking. This is because he needs to use his right hand to use his magical powers of poison."

"But for most martial arts monks, the attack power of the right hand is stronger than that of the left hand. This is the second reason."

"third…"

Lu Pianpian showed a look of nostalgia, "I was raised by your grandfather, named master and apprentice, but actually father and daughter. And he treated me better than his daughter."

"Eighteen years ago, I was just ten years old. Master said that he was going to travel far away. At that time, he only knew that he was going back to Yizhou, but he didn't know his specific whereabouts."

"It took more than half a year for Master to return to the Jingzhou General Altar from Yizhou. I went to his quiet room and found leaf bookmarks in his book."

"Those leaves have strange textures, bright red like fire, like maple leaves, but not like maple leaves."

"The leaves were picked a few months ago. I found that the veins of each suspected maple leaf seem to have some regularity."

"Master is not a boring person, why did you collect these leaves and put them in ancient books as bookmarks?"

Luo Li interjected, "The leaf bookmark is the same as the maple leaves in our village? The maple leaves in Maple Leaf Village are indeed beautiful, quite different."

"In fact, no one is sure that it is a maple leaf, but they can't name it, so they simply call it a maple leaf."

"There are also maple fruit, purple, slightly longer, and somewhat different from maple fruit in other places."

Lu Pianpian took out a red leaf with green veins and said:

"When I came to your village today, I discovered that the leaves that Master brought back 18 years ago are the 'Maple Leafs' here."

"This is enough to prove that he came to Maple Leaf Village 18 years ago. His daughter eloped with Luo An and settled here. It doesn't seem strange for him to come here."

"But the purpose of his coming here is definitely not for his daughter Tang Wan."

"He knew that the 'elopement plan' was useless, but he still spent ten years with Luo An. It should be because he wanted to understand the secret Luo An was looking for."

When Lu Pianpian said this, Su Chuo couldn't help but secretly said:
"That's about it. Since he knows Luo An's identity, he will definitely pay attention to Luo An's actions in Maple Leaf Village."

"He speculates that Luo An has another purpose in Maple Leaf Village, and it must be of great importance. That's why he spent so long patiently with Luo An."

"It's a pity that Luo An and him have nothing to gain, and the two sides have wasted ten years in vain."

"This is the hidden truth behind the elopement. The two parties are not only for the "Nine Poisons" and inheriting the Gelaohui."

"Luo'an is a foreigner. He needs to find a woman to settle down in the local area and integrate into the village. He happened to use Tang Wan."

What Su Chuo thought of, Luo Li quickly figured it out.

It turned out that both Grandpa and Luo An had two purposes.

Although Luo An is treacherous and forbearing, his grandfather Tang Yaoshi is also forbearing.

After drinking half a jug of wine, Lu Pianpian sat upright on the stone with her feet up, and continued:
"Of course these are not enough, so there is another piece of evidence."

She pointed to the bones, "Only the high-ranking real priests will perceive that the soul essence and blood of Cai Ji's parents have been used as incense to worship the gods."

"The soul essence and blood of two fourth-rank masters is already a rare sacrifice. It is impossible for Master to give up."

"There is a trace of the afterglow of the red fragrance after offering sacrifices to the gods in the bones. This kind of aftertaste of the red fragrance can only be perceived by the senior officials of the True Sacrifice Sect."

"Obviously, the person who killed this couple was a great cultivator of the Zhenshi sect who can worship gods."

"And my master just happened to carry a statue with him. It's just that his statue is not as powerful as my Chaos God."

"The murderer first used martial arts to kill the bodies of the two men, and then used their souls, essence, and blood to sacrifice to the statue."

"Based on all these, who is the murderer Tang Yaoshi? He didn't run away."

Luo Li couldn't help complaining: "My grandfather is not a good guy either!"

Why do my elders and relatives have this virtue?Except for my aunt Tang Xiang, her character is very poor.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Then, Tang Yaoshi killed Cai Ji's parents just to worship as sacrifices and strengthen the magic power of the statue?"

"I don't know." Lu Pianpian frowned slightly, her expression pondering, "Cai Ji's parents probably didn't find any treasures or clues."

"Master kills them, so it's not the same as killing people and seizing treasures."

"Master does not kill innocent people indiscriminately. It is unlikely that he killed two fourth-rank monks who had no grievances and no enmity just for sacrifice."

"Why do you want to kill the Cai family couple, you can only ask Master in person at that time."

...

Lu Pianpian and Luo Li searched for a long time in Qianhu Cave, but found nothing.

However, they found that there were holes everywhere under the ground of Maple Leaf Village, dug out by people.

The entire underground was searched by Luo An and others.Their spiritual sense should have explored every piece of soil, every stone.

If there was anything here, it would have been taken away by Luo An, Tang Yaoshi, and Father Cai long ago.

"Lu Pianpian, is it possible that the treasure is not real?" Su Chuo reminded suddenly.

Lu Pianpian smirked secretly, "Luo An, Tang Yaoshi and others must have thought of what you thought of. Otherwise, why did the old man bring back a bunch of maple leaves to study the texture?"

"Luo'an has been here for ten years, and he probably has studied the sounds, smells, and patterns."

"It is estimated that the ancient silkworm nest is teasing future generations. Maple Leaf Village is indeed a bit weird, but it should be due to Fengshui, but there is nothing in it?"

Lu Pianpian lost her temper.

Su Chuo reminded again: "Ask Li'er, where did Xiao Hei find it?"

Lu Pianpian asked Luo Li, and said it was in the ancient maple forest eight miles away.

"...The ancient maple forest is the oldest maple forest in the village. Those trees are very old, not to mention maple trees."

"...When I found Xiao Hei, it was in a tree hole. The tree hole was very deep and went underground. Xiao Hei probably climbed up from the ground."

"Let's go to Gufenglin to have a look." Lu Pianpian said, "If we don't find it again, let's not waste our time."

Go outside after speaking.

"Wait!" Luo Li pointed at the two bones, "Cai Ji has helped me, I want to bury his parents' bones."

The two buried the bones, and then left the maze-like Thousand Fox Cave.

...

The lights in the village were turned off one by one, and the villagers fell asleep, except for the faint sound of dogs barking at night.

The entire Maple Leaf Village surrounded by Maple Ridge was immersed in the night.

Luo Li took Lu Pianpian with him, and walked through the village like a night tour, climbed the hill, and came to an ancient maple forest.

This ancient maple forest has a size of a thousand acres, with dense ancient trees and dragon-like branches, full of vigorous and desolate atmosphere.

Compared with the surrounding trees, the ancient trees here are indeed less like maple trees.

The fiery red maple leaves sway in the moonlight, and the lavender maple fruit is silent in the clear frost.

Lu Pianpian suddenly gasped, "Luo Li, look at these maple leaves, do they look like mulberry leaves?"

Luo Li's eyes lit up, "Really! If it's green, it's more like a mulberry leaf."

"It's these purple maple fruits, which also look like mulberries."

The knowledgeable Su Chuo said secretly: "Lu Pianpian, seeing these ancient trees suspected to be red maples, I suddenly thought of a record in an ancient book."

Lu Pianpian secretly said: "What record?"

Su Chuo said: "The Records of Supplementary Relics records that "Shaohao's mother Huang'e (Leizu) weaves at night in the Xuan Palace, travels by day on a wooden tree, and passes through Qiongsangzhipu. "

"Poor mulberries, there are mulberry trees on the shore of the West Sea, straight up to Chihiro, the leaves are as red as maple, and the mulberries are purple in color. Long live one fruit, and you will never grow old if you eat it."

Lu Pianpian was a little impatient, "Sister knows that you are knowledgeable and speak human words!"

Su Chuo could only explain: "Xidi Shaohao's mother is Huang'e, who is also Leizu who invented silkworm farming and weaving. She weaves in the palace at night and travels around the world in a wooden boat during the day."

"One day, she came to the west coast and passed a place called Qiongsangzhipu. Why is it called Qiongsangzhipu?"

"Because there is a huge mulberry tree by the sea, reaching up to the sky and covering the sky, it is a poor mulberry tree."

"Although the poor mulberry tree is a mulberry tree, the mulberry leaves are as red as maple leaves, and the purple mulberries mature once every 1 years. Eating them will make you immortal."

"These maple trees, of course, cannot be the poor mulberry trees in the ancient books, but they just remind me of the records in the books."

After listening to Su Chuo's explanation, Lu Pianpian also had strange thoughts in her heart.

Could it be that these ancient maple trees are really a special kind of exotic mulberry tree?

Luo Li couldn't hear Su Chuo and Lu Pianpian's communication, but she saw that Lu Pianpian seemed to be thinking about something, so she didn't bother her.

Su Chuo continued to talk to Lu Pianpian: "If it is really an unknown mulberry tree, if you contact Mu Xianling, is it related to silkworms?"

"Aren't celestial insects silkworms? Silkworms feed on mulberry trees, and silkworms cannot be separated."

"Combining various ancient books and known information, I have a bold guess. That day's insects are god silkworms and fairy silkworms."

"God silkworms need to eat special mulberry leaves in order to grow, transform, and form cocoons. And the cocoons he made are the heavenly insect cocoons Su Yu mentioned?"

"Mrs. Huadie is a descendant of the Can family. Then Huadie means rebirth, does it mean ascending and not getting old?"

"If this conjecture is true, then is the treasure here the mulberry tree that the insects need?"

"The original meaning of the word Shu is the silkworm that transforms butterflies. So far, Shu embroidery is unrivaled in the world. There is a bronze sacred tree in the ancient Shu site, which is called the sacred tree of Tongtian, but it is actually a poor mulberry tree."

Lu Pianpian couldn't help but said: "Isn't that bronze sacred tree the legendary hibiscus tree? Hibiscus and poor mulberry are the same tree?"

Su Chuo was a little speechless to Lu Pianpian who didn't like reading.

"Read more. Fusang tree is originally a mulberry tree! It is two big mulberry trees, Yin and Yang, that support each other, so it is called a hibiscus tree!"

Only then did Lu Pianpian know that the hibiscus tree was really a mulberry tree, and it was two big mulberry trees, Yin and Yang.

Su Chuo continued to explain: "The hibiscus tree and the poor mulberry tree are actually the same kind. It's just that the hibiscus tree is composed of two poor mulberry trees."

"For example, one chopstick is called poor sang, and a pair of chopsticks is called fusang."

Lu Pianpian didn't think her guess was bold.She touched her forehead and thought for a while, then said in a rare tone of admiration:
"Today, my sister realized that people study more in Jianghu."

"If you weren't knowledgeable enough and read enough books, how would you come up with this guess?"

"My sister thinks that your guess may be very close to the truth."

"Luo'an, my master, and Father Cai have been searching for so long and can't find it. Maybe there is only one reason."

Su Chuo couldn't help asking, "What's the reason?"

"It's not stupid." Lu Pianpian laughed secretly, "It's purely because I don't read enough!"

"I don't read enough out-of-the-way ancient books, and the information breaks at critical moments, making it impossible to deduce effectively."

"Su Chuo, if you think about it again, maybe you can find some clues."

She might be telling the truth.There are very few monks who like to read, especially those who like to read remote and miscellaneous books.

Neither Tang Yaoshi nor Luo An really liked reading.

Even if you really like it, you don't have the qualifications for Su's study.

Su Chuo said: "Okay. I'll think about it carefully. You and Li'er look around first, we will divide the work."

Lu Pianpian was about to tell Luo Li about Su Chuo's conjecture, when she suddenly showed a strange smile and winked at Luo Li.

Luo Li knew it well, and smiled without any trace.

At this time, the wind suddenly picked up.

The moon hides in the clouds.

The frost is thicker.

The maple leaf is like blood!

At some point, a white figure appeared under Gu Feng.

Standing there quietly, like a tombstone.

"Little girl." The white figure spoke suddenly, his voice was a bit cold, not like Yizhou accent.

It was like a frosty wind whip.

"You are Luo Jishi's daughter? What's your name?"

"Who?!" Luo Li turned his head in astonishment, looking at the unexpected visitor who appeared not far away.

Seems surprised.

This white figure is short in stature, holding a wooden staff and wearing a Nanzhao feather crown.

And there was a small black snake wrapped around his hand.

This Nanzhao man is the special envoy of Nanzhao, Kun Mi!
Lu Pianpian also showed consternation, "It's you? Are you following us?"

"This old man is destined to pass by." The old god Kun Mi walked slowly, with a powerful momentum.

"Why follow?"

The leaves on the ground fluttered like the wind following his footsteps!
"Miss Luo." Kun Mi said with a smile, "Yizhou Mu is your father?"

"This old man is a good friend of your father's, and we can't stand against each other. How about inviting Mrs. Luo to accompany me to Nanzhao as a guest?"

"Don't worry, Her Majesty the Queen will love Lady Luo, and you will become a distinguished guest of the Nanzhao Palace."

Luo Li took a step back, "Young lady can't understand what senior said. I don't want to go to Nanzhao! Senior kindly accepts."

Kun Mi chuckled, "Miss Luo doesn't want to be a guest in our country, so I can only offend this old man."

After all, he raised his hand and typed a hand formula.

He is a great master of the fourth rank, once this hand formula is played, the powerful Gu Dao aura descends like a nightmare!

PS: Don't dare to eat too much, I'm so hungry.What do you think of Su Chuo's speculation?
