Fragrance is good for purifying the heart

Chapter 85
Wu Zhengting knelt down at Beimian's feet again and begged: "Immortal Lord... you must find the real culprit and save this villain from danger..."

Beimian helped him stand up and comforted him a few words. Seeing that he was still agitated, he ordered people to send him back to rest.

Beimian glanced at Gardenia, and both of them frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was getting more and more difficult.

Originally, his master and his apprentice were still doubting whether Wu Zhengting had united with the outsider's envoy, the Thunder Curse, to kill Yin Hezheng in the dungeon. After all, in the records they found in Wo Xuexuan, three years ago, he used the water element to The surname of the person who obtained the No. 3 spell has the character "Wu" written on it.

Later, after verification, Wu Zhengting admitted that he and the two guardians were both good at waterbending.

If what happened last night did not happen, he would indeed be a suspect, but since he was also attacked late at night and had a totem of the dead drawn on half of his face, the suspicion of murder was naturally eliminated.

But since the murderer is not him, who could it be?

Because it was related to the totem of the dead, Beimian had to summon Yin Hezheng who had not yet left the palace. After repeated inquiries, he learned that Yin Hezheng had been staying with Ru Yu last night.

If it was neither Wu Zhengting nor Yin Hezheng, then I don't know how to investigate the fact that the third protector was attacked and a totem of the dead was drawn on half of his face.

Returning to the dormitory from the Patriarch's Hall, Gardenia kept thinking about the words of the Wu Dao disciple, but she still felt doubtful in her heart. Since Wu Zhengting got up on time at [-] o'clock every day, someone would definitely come in to serve him, so why didn't the perpetrator choose to be there? Why do you choose to enter the house at other times to commit murder, when it is easy to be noticed by others?

After Wu Dao entered, only half of Wu Zhengting's face was painted with the undead totem, indicating that the murderer had not been inside for a long time to commit the crime. If this person could sneak into Wu Zhengting's room in a familiar way without alerting others, he could only It proves that he is from Blood Rain Palace, but since he is from Blood Rain Palace, it is impossible not to know Wu Zhengting's habit of getting up at Mao hour every day.

Why do you still choose to commit murder around Mao time?

Aren't the murderers worried about being discovered?

"Master, do you still have Wu Zhengting's jade plaque with you?" Thinking of this, Gardenia went to Beimian's dormitory to ask for the jade plaque.

"Why...Zhi'er, do you want to..." Bei Mian turned his eyebrows and knew what Gardenia was up to. He kept looking at her with a smile on his face. Although she was asking, she kept his storage space with him. The jade tablet in the exquisite Zen beads was sacrificed.

Gardenia took the jade token and nodded. The two of them understood each other without saying anything. Gardenia pondered for a moment and then said, "Although I heard about Wu Zhengting being attacked today, I still feel that the disciple Wu Dao said... A little too... too..."

"It's so upright and comprehensive that it's almost impossible to find anything wrong." Beimian added for her.

"Yes, yes, Master, do you think so too?" Gardenia nodded sharply, biting her lower lip, "Since Wu Dao witnessed the murderer, then... what he said was heard for the first time. When asked, he shouldn't be so comprehensive. But his answer was flawless, as if he had rehearsed it in advance."

Beimian also nodded. He stared at Gardenia with unblinking eyes. There seemed to be something bright and shining in his eyes, showing obvious praise.

"What's more, anyone in the Blood Rain Palace who is attentive should know Wu Zhengting's habit of drawing the totem of the dead at the Mao hour. It's really puzzling. It's like... a... It's been planned for a long time...it seems like...it's deliberately being discovered. Master, is your disciple right?" Gardenia raised her eyes to look at Beimian, but saw that the smile in Beimian's eyes was even wider, "So , you just want to use microscopic techniques tonight to see Wu Zhengting..."

"Yes, this disciple has always been suspicious of this person."

"Then go ahead and do it. If you find anything, tell me immediately. Remember to use advanced microscopic techniques."

After giving the instructions with his back to her, Bei Mian half-heartedly picked up a freshly brewed cup of Fangshan Dewya on the wooden table and took a sip, feeling the fragrance lingering on his lips and teeth, leaving endless aftertaste.

It was two cups of tea before midnight. Gardenia estimated that Wu Zhengting would fall asleep around midnight, so it might be the right time to use microscopic techniques at this time.

She took out the jade tablet and silently recited the formula for high-level microscopic observation: "Ziwei Douzuan, observe the subtle technique, mist mirror image, open!"

Since her cultivation was far inferior to that of Wu Zhengting at the Golden Core stage, and it was her first time to use high-level microscopic techniques, when she started to use her spiritual power to pour it into the jade tablet on the first day of the new year, there was blood seepage on Gardenia's forehead. There were big beads of sweat.

With the blessing of spiritual power, the jade tablet floated in mid-air, glowing with a blue aura. The scene in Wu Zhengting's room soon appeared in front of Gardenia.

Just now she used the high-level microscopic technique, and Gardenia spent some more time. Now she just microscopically observed the scene in Wu Zhengting's room, but the time was almost midnight. She thought she might not be able to see anything crucial, so she said Maybe Wu Zhengting will fall asleep.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhengting, who was in the microscopic view, sat in front of the wooden table in the room for a while, stunned for a while, as if thinking about something, and then sat next to the bed, looking restless.

There was no lamp in the room, and his figure was hidden in the darkness. The half of his face with the totem of the undead mixed in the mottled light and shadow looked particularly strange, even covering up a bit of Wu Zhengting's originally handsome face. appearance.

At this time, he was still wearing an ink-colored green shirt. Sometimes he sat slumped on the edge of the bed, and sometimes he fell completely on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep...

After about another hour of this situation, Wu Zhengting suddenly stood up from the bed and sat beside the bed again, seeming to be thinking about something that troubled him.

His face no longer had the leisurely and elegant look that Gardenia had when she first saw him, but instead seemed to be caught up in some trouble.

Suddenly, he straightened up, walked to the bronze mirror in the room, touched his face, and murmured to himself: "I...my appearance...can be called the best choice in this Blood Rain Palace. I have a good appearance." , why didn't you choose me? You couldn't even look at me one more time? Why..."

As if he was angry about something, he suddenly overturned the copper basin in front of him. The water in the copper basin splashed to the ground, but he didn't seem to care about it. He only stared at the face in the bronze mirror. Look, I finally touched the totem of the undead drawn on half of the face, and wiped it vigorously repeatedly, but the totem of the undead could not be wiped off easily...

Gardenia watched Wu Zhengting struggling for a long time, and suddenly saw him pinching half of his face, and shouted angrily, "For you, I can even give up this half of my face, but what do you do?" Is it fair that you can’t even give it to me? Is it fair?”
