Mugui

Chapter 117 Yao Huang Tattoo
Yang Mu was woken up by Hei Daya's big tongue, and there was a sleeping Qiuqiu in his arms.

Looking around, I found myself lying on the bed in the east room in Peach Blossom Lane.

Hei Daya was very excited when he found out that Yang Mu was awake, he yelled "Wow, woof" twice, declaring his contribution.

Yang Mu reached out to touch Hei Daya's head, but found that his back hurt and his whole body was numb.

After a while, I felt that the blood in my whole body was unobstructed.

Hei Daya happily jumped out of bed and went to find his little friend Yang Shitou.

Yang Mu tried hard to sit up, just picked up the water glass by the bedside, ready to moisten his throat, but saw the door was opened, Lin Xiao came in with a bowl of soup, seeing that she woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief, said: "It's considered awake, sleep It's been two days, does the wound still hurt?"

Yang Mu took a sip of warm water and said, "It's okay." The pain in his back is normal, and there should be no infection.

Lin Xiaodao: "The doctor came to see her in the morning and said that there is nothing serious. Take good care of her and she will recover soon."

Yang Mu nodded and asked, "Has the killer been caught?"

Lin Xiao put the medicine bowl on the bedside, and said, "I caught it, but I was injured too badly, and I'm already dead, so I can't ask anything."

Yang Mu was taken aback, "The injury is too serious?"

Lin Xiao gave her a funny look, and said: "The peak of the eighth rank is perfect, and it can counter-kill the mid-level master of the seventh rank. This kind of low-rank kills the high-rank has not happened for many years."

"Is it difficult to counter-kill?" This was her first time fighting against a seventh-rank master, so she had no experience.

Lin Xiao nodded, and said, "In the middle stage of the seventh rank, you can easily kill multiple eighth ranks at the same time." After a pause, he asked, "So, how did you win?"

Holding the water glass, Yang Mu recalled the fight in the bamboo forest, and pondered, "Because I'm strong?"

Lin Xiao laughed, "You are indeed stronger than many warriors in the eighth-rank strength realm. You are also born in the eighth rank. When Lu Shan was your age, he should not be able to beat the middle of the seventh rank."

He gestured to the medicine bowl, and said: "The doctors in the county town are better than those in the village, so I'll bring you back for treatment. This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Drink it while it's hot."

Yang Mu picked up the bowl and took a sip, almost threw up, it was too bitter.

Lin Xiao hurriedly took out a small paper bag from his bosom, opened it to reveal two sugar balls the size of lotus seeds, and said, "You drink it in one gulp, and then eat one."

Yang Mu looked at Tang Qiu and thought, Lin Xiao is also good at teasing girls.

She frowned and drank the medicinal soup, her small face immediately wrinkled into a little bun, before she had time to put the bowl down, she grabbed a candy and put it in her mouth.

She swore that she would never get hurt again, the medicine was too bitter!

Lin Xiao admired the appearance of her rare little daughter, and said, "There is coptis in the medicine."

As a modern person, he also knows how bitter Coptis chinensis is. Yang Mu's expression was indescribable, and it took him a while to dispel the bitterness in his mouth and speak.

"You said just now that it has been many years since the low-ranked ones killed the high-ranked ones. Who was the last one?"

Lin Xiaodao: "15 years ago, Huaihua general Tang Yuanshan beheaded a Tatar general with a rank three, He Lianjue, a warrior with a rank two; Puyang Sheng."

Yang Mu squinted at him, "You mean, I broke your record?"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, is this the point?

Yang Mu suddenly reacted, looked at Lin Xiao in amazement, and couldn't believe it: "What rank do you say you are? Fourth rank?! You can be fourth rank at such a young age?!"

Lin Xiao said speechlessly: "I am now a third grade!"

This is not the point, is it?
Yang Mu was speechless, she is so powerful at the eighth rank, what kind of combat power is the third rank?

Lin Xiao looked at Yang Mu silently, waiting for him to praise him for his strength. Rank [-] fought against Rank [-], and he was able to fight against Rank [-]. Even Duan Jiulang, a martial idiot, praised this matter.

But Yang Mu's focus shifted again, and he asked, "What is the realm of the third rank?"

Lin Xiao said helplessly, "Hears and eyes are clear."

Yang Mu muttered, "No wonder you can always hear voices far away." Then she asked: "Then when will I be able to enter the seventh rank? How soon can I become the third rank like you?"

If you can enter the third rank, what are you afraid of being assassinated?

Lin Xiao sighed in his heart. It seems that he will not get worship and praise today, so he had to patiently explain to Yang Mu: "The higher the rank, the harder it is to advance. There seems to be something in your body that hinders you. advanced level. I don’t have enough cultivation, so I can’t see it.”

"Who can tell?"

"Perhaps a second rank one level higher than me can do it. When you go back to the capital, go to your grandfather Huguogong to have a look. If you still can't see it, you can only go to Duan Jiulang."

"Duan Jiulang?"

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and said: "The only first-rank master in the capital is a martial idiot. You have heard of his favorite student, and he is the governor of Bai Zewei, Situ Zheng."

Yang Mu nodded. After Zhu Lin was assassinated, she was eager to become stronger.

Lin Xiaodao: "These things, just go back to the capital and solve them. There is something you need to pay attention to early."

He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "This is the tattoo on the assassin's body, it's on the left arm."

He nodded his left arm, and said: "Look carefully, if you encounter the same tattoo in the future, you can follow the clues and find out who is behind the scenes."

Yang Mu took the paper and unfolded it. It was a yellow flower in full bloom.

"A male assassin with a tattoo of a flower?"

Yang Mu expressed his incomprehension.

Lin Xiao explained: "This is the king of peonies, Yao Huang. It is an extremely rare species. Judging from his moves, Mu Chen was a dead man when he was chasing the killer. The nobles of the capital often raise dead men as guards. And killers, and these dead men will leave the master's mark on them."

After listening, Yang Mu asked: "So, the owner of this dead man likes peonies? Is it more likely that women are more likely?"

Lin Xiaodao: "The peonies are elegant and luxurious. Emperor Jiaji loved peonies very much, so most nobles followed suit and planted peonies. Therefore, you can't tell whether the owner of the dead man is a man or a woman just by looking at the tattoo."

Yang Mu was silent, so the clue was basically broken.

"If I knew it earlier, I would have poked that dead man less often." She regretted a little.

Lin Xiao said with a smile: "Even if the dead men are caught, it's hard to find out. They are poisoned, and if they betray their masters, they will not survive. Besides, many of the dead men's family members are in the hands of their masters. Even for the safety of their family, they will not betray their master."

Yang Mu suddenly remembered that the killer seemed to have recognized Mu Chen, so he asked, "Does the killer know Mu Chen?"

Lin Xiaodao: "Mu Chen is a fourth-rank dead man, a very high rank among dead men, so many dead men know him. But he doesn't know those dead men."

He explained very patiently: "Moreover, Mu Chen likes to play tricks on others when chasing or catching people. He either pretends to be a ghost to frighten people; Or throw people into the cesspit..."

After a pause, he concluded: "There are too many books to write."

Yang Mu didn't expect that Mu Chen, who looks very serious, would have such a strange hobby.

Since Mu Chen didn't know the killer, this clue was also broken.

She sighed slightly. It seems that there are still many things in the capital that need to be figured out by herself, especially the person behind the bamboo forest killer. If he is not caught, he will be a timed explosive.
