This sentence was asked with an uneasiness that only Shi Dai knew.
The answer was as expected.
"of course not."
Liu Rutang said: "The evil cultivator behind the scenes is not an expert. If he sets up a formation, he won't be able to attract too strong evil things."
She felt puzzled and glanced over: "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Shi Dai's throat was sore and her mind was a little confused.
"fine."
Shi Dai said: "I have seen similar scenes in story books before."
Even the common people in the inn have not had their bodies corroded by evil energy.
Her expression calmed down and she pursed her lips, thinking, let alone Jiang Baiyan who had spiritual energy.
Oh, he is also a mermaid, naturally stronger than humans.
So, what happened to the wounds on Jiang Baiyan’s body?
"The stories are all fabricated and cannot be taken to be true."
Liu Rutang didn't know what she was thinking, so he said carelessly: "The literati who wrote the book have never caught evil spirits personally."
"Too."
Shi Dai followed her words and asked: "What if we want to let evil energy enter the body like in the storybook? Apart from being injured by high-level evil objects, is there any other way?"
"I once met an evil cultivator."
Shen Liushuang said: "He enjoys torturing people and pours the evil energy in his body directly into other people's wounds - in this way, the wounds will be infected immediately."
After saying this, she did not forget to warn: "Most evil cultivators follow heretical practices and are indifferent to human life. If you encounter them in the future, you must be on guard."
"of course."
Shi Dai gave a habitual smile and changed the subject with ease: "Let's go to Jinniang's room quickly. If she returns to the room later, she will be in trouble."
Jin Niang is the cook of the inn and is assigned a special place to live.
The three of them seized the opportunity and headed to Jin Niang's bedroom located in the corner of the corridor.
Shi Dai secretly organized her thoughts.
To be sure, the evil spirit in Jiang Baiyan's injury definitely did not come from any of the demons in the Ghost Wall.
Shi Dai was not stupid. After ruling out this conjecture, after thinking about it, there was only one possibility left.
Jiang Baiyan has been living with evil cultivators for several years, and he knows more or less some evil practices——
The evil spirit in the bloody mouth was poured into it by himself.
She was uncontrollably frightened.
Is he crazy?Risking your life and letting yourself be corrupted by evil spirits?What does Jiang Baiyan draw?
Once the tip of the iceberg is uncovered, more weirdness is revealed.
While in the kitchen, Jiang Baiyan claimed to have been scratched several times by a cat.
Shi Dai was startled when she heard this. Although she was surprised, Jiang Baiyan was the only one in the kitchen, and there was no trace of anyone else.
She also thought that if the cat hadn't scratched, it couldn't have been Jiang Baiyan himself.
Now it seems that it is really possible that he did it himself.
Shi Dai scratched the palm of her hand.
She did not forget that at that time she wanted to see the scratches on the back of Jiang Baiyan's hand, but the latter deliberately covered them up.Shi Dai just thought he was prudent and didn't get more entangled.
"It's here."
Liu Rutang stopped in front of a door: "Jin Niang's room."
Shi Dai came back to her senses and looked at the small lock on the wooden door: "How do we get in?"
Is it necessary to break the lock by force?
Liu Rutang smiled: "Look at me."
She touched the white snake necklace around her neck.
Although Lady Bai Jiu has not transformed into her original form, her consciousness is still there, guarding Liu Rutang.
Being touched like this, White Snake instantly understood, and a trace of red light flashed at the front of the necklace.
A wisp of white smoke spit out from the mouth of the necklace snake, ethereal and condensed into a translucent snake shape.
The size of the smoke snake is getting smaller and smaller, gradually approaching the shape of a key, swaying twice, and sinking straight into the keyhole.
With a click, the wooden door opened.
"How about it, is it alright?"
Liu Rutang smiled at Shi Dai and said, "This is Lady Bai Jiu's signature skill. She fills the keyhole with spiritual energy and acts as a key. There is no keyhole in Jokhang that it cannot deal with."
Lady Bai Jiu:...
The red eyes of the little snake necklace flashed a few times, expressing silent protest.
This is not its signature skill!The Xian family wants to save face, okay?
It was getting late, Shen Liushuang took the lighting talisman handed over by Shi Dai and pushed open the door.
What greeted me was a strong aroma that seemed familiar.
It's like a mixture of all kinds of spices. It's too strong and overwhelming, and it's overwhelming.
Shi Dai frowned at the smell and covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves.
She remembered that the aroma was exactly the same as the smell of Jinniang's body.
"Go in and search."
Shen Liushuang was very cautious: "I will stay in the corridor and watch the wind."
If Jin Niang comes back unexpectedly and catches the three of them on the spot, the illusion will collapse.
Shi Debi made a received gesture and raised her lips slightly: "Understood."
She clearly understands the priorities. The top priority is to find out the real culprit, and she must not be distracted.As for Jiang Baiyan...
Shi Dai grinded her teeth.
Meet him face to face later and ask him properly.
Looking up, this is an extremely simple bedroom.
There was only a table, a chair, a bed, and a wooden shelf filled with messy knick-knacks.
"really weird."
Liu Rutang muttered softly: "What does she use such a strong fragrance?"
"In this room—"
The necklace around her neck suddenly moved and turned into a circling white snake with red eyes.
Lady Bai Jiu looked around and spat out a message: "There is an aura that makes me uncomfortable."
As an immortal, it has a very keen sense of evil spirits.
Liu Rutang was alert: "Is it evil?"
"Not sure." Lady Bai Jiu sniffed, "The smell is too messy."
Shi Dai focused on the wooden frame: "What are these?"
Like a pile of junk.
She rummaged carefully and found only a few old story books, four or five broken toys, and half-embroidered embroidery.
Liu Rutang searched the bed carefully, but found nothing.
Jinniang's room was too empty, with almost no hiding corners.If you have to say it——
Shi Dai's gaze moved downwards, slowly focusing on the gap under the bed.
Could there be something hidden here?
Without thinking too much, she squatted down and lifted up the thin sheets.
There is not much space under the bed, because at night, a large area of thick shadow solidifies.
Shi Dai held up the lighting talisman and leaned down to look through the dim yellow light, and saw two green dots.
wrong.
The strong coldness was like a thunder, climbing up from the spine to Tianling Gai. Shi Dai's hand shook and she almost lost her grip on the talisman.
——Those were clearly a pair of eyes staring straight at her!
Jie Jie was startled, and his heart pounded.
Shi Dai suppressed the exclamation in her throat, plucked up the courage to poke the lighting talisman inside.
It's a dead black cat.
There were no traces of decay on the black cat's body, and it had not been dead for long. It lay under the bed with lifeless eyes, its body merged with the darkness, and its pair of green pupils were particularly conspicuous.
"What did you find?"
Liu Rutang noticed her movements, leaned down and hissed softly: "Cat corpse?"
Lady Bai Jiu poked her head in and said, "Hey, isn't it?"
"It seems," Shi Dai probed deeper, "there is something else."
Liu Rutang found the broom beside the door and pulled out everything.
The body of a black cat had its abdomen penetrated and was stained with black blood. The strange thing was that its body was shriveled, as if it had been hollowed out.
A rusty bell, a piece of blood-stained cloth, and a torn pamphlet.
Shi Dai opened the book, and there were messy handwriting on every page.
[Cat, three days. 】
[Dog, four days. 】
【Seven days. 】
[Cat, [-]th. 】
In front of the word "seven days", there is a blackened ink ball.
"Sister Rutang."
Shi Dai handed the brochure to Liu Rutang: "What does this mean?"
Lady Bai Jiu, who had been wearing a necklace for half the night, was twisting and stretching her body. When she saw this, she lowered her head and rolled her eyes lightly.
"Look at that cat, is it drained of blood?"
Lady Bai Jiu hummed softly: "I estimate that this is the number of days it takes to drink blood."
It thought thoughtfully: "The rusty bell under the bed looks very much like a soul-catching bell."
Soul-catching bell?
Shi Dai searched for relevant information in her memory.
Evil cultivators often require sacrifices of flesh, blood and soul.
The soul-catching bell is a magical weapon commonly used by evil cultivators. As the name suggests, it can absorb souls and use them for one's own use.
There is something like this hidden in Jin Niang’s room, which means——
Shi Dai: "Is Jinniang an evil cultivator?"
"That's not surprising."
Bai Jiu Niangzi said: "Didn't the boss lady say that Jin Niang often talks to herself? Once a new evil cultivator practices improperly, the evil energy in the body will collide, and the soul may be confused."
It shrugged: "Then it turned into her nagging look."
Liu Rutang suddenly understood: "The booklet said that she caught a cat and drank its blood for three days, and then caught a dog and drank its blood for four days. The 'seven days' on the third page——"
What kind of blood can sustain her for seven days?
The name of this thing was specially erased by Jin Niang.
Shi Dai and Liu Rutang looked at each other and read the same thoughts in each other's eyes.
"If it's just a jackal, tiger, and leopard, there's no need for her to erase it after writing it."
Shi Dai's back felt a little cold: "Is he... a human?"
Judging from Jin Niang's behavior, if she is really an evil cultivator, she is just getting started.
Out of guilt and fear of harming fellow members of the same clan, it is indeed possible to blackout the word "human" in a panic after writing it.
"If you look at it this way."
Shi Dai calmed down: "Jin Niang uses a lot of spices, is it to... cover up the evil spirit and the smell of blood?"
The cat's corpse lay under the bed. When they entered the house, they could only smell the overly strong and overpowering smell.
"Low-level evil cultivators don't know how to hide evil spirits."
Lady Bai Jiu was worthy of being a well-informed immortal. She thought for a moment and said, "It makes sense that she uses this to confuse her aura."
"So," Liu Rutang raised an eyebrow, "Is it most likely that Jin Niang is the murderer of the recent serial murders?"
Practicing evil practices, staying at Junlai Inn, killing people and cats and dogs to extract their flesh and blood.
The most important thing is that after the incident, Jinniang disappeared without a trace, as if she was absconding in fear of crime.
"Currently, she seems to be the most suspect."
Shi Dai nodded: "Wei Xiao is the last suspect left. When the third wave of evil strikes, you go to his room and take a look."
They rummaged through Jin Niang's bed and found it in a mess. The two restored it to its original state with the help of their memories and explored the room again, but could not find any more clues.
Until there was a knock on the door, Shen Liushuang pushed open the door: "Jin Niang has made some moves. Come out."
*
Shi Dai and Liu Rutang left the room as if nothing was wrong.
Lady Bai Jiu obediently transformed into a necklace and hung it on Liu Rutang's chest. If she looked carefully, she could see that the little white snake on the chain was blinking lazily.
Passing the corner of the corridor, Shi Dai happened to pass by Jin Niang.
There was still the pungent smell of spices, and the two of them looked at each other for a moment.
Jin Niang trembled obviously, quickly looked away, and hurried back to the room as if she was running away.
Shi Dai: "She's afraid of us?"
Being used to seeing evil cultivators in Zhen'es, Liu Rutang said seriously: "This is called a guilty conscience."
Most fledgling evil cultivators are at the dividing point of extreme contradictions.
On the one hand, he is greedy for the power brought by evil methods, but on the other hand, he still has human reason and understands that what he has done is harmful to nature and justice.
——Of course, after repeated entanglements, they will always choose to continue practicing evil arts and leave ethics, justice and shame behind.
Shen Liushuang: "A guilty conscience? What are you looking for?"
Shi Dai tightened her face and said with a mysterious look: "A major discovery."
"Young Master Yan and Young Master Jiang are probably searching for Yu Zhihua's baggage, right?"
Liu Rutang smiled and touched her head: "Let's talk together after we meet."
There was only a small space in Junlai Inn, and the three of them quickly returned to Wei Xiao's room on the second floor.
It was Yan Qinghuan who opened the door. When he saw it was them, he smiled widely.
"Master Jiang and I searched the guest room."
Yan Qinghuan took a few steps back to make room to enter the house: "I didn't find anything special."
Shi Dai stepped into the door and looked at Jiang Baiyan for the first time.
He was re-bandaged by Yan Qinghuan to stop the bleeding. His face was pale and bloodless, and when he looked at it, he looked like cold jade without any warmth.
Jiang Baiyan was also looking at her.
His expression was almost the same as usual, sparse and restrained, with dark eyes.
The blood stain on his chest was dazzlingly red.
Shi Dai:......
Shi Dai: Ha.
Frankly, she was a little angry.
"We've made a big discovery here."
Liu Rutang touched her with his elbow: "Dai Dai, do you say it or should I say it?" I didn't realize it before in Jin Niang's room, but now that she saw Jiang Baiyan, her thoughts that had finally calmed down became chaotic again.
Shi Dai smiled: "You come on."
Liu Rutang coughed lightly: "Okay."
She described the whole situation in detail, emphasizing the cat corpse, the booklet and the Soul-Calling Bell.
Yan Qinghuan listened intently, pondered over the vague "seven days", and shrank to Jiang Baiyan's side.
"It is indeed evil."
Jiang Baiyan said quietly: "Many evil cultivators sacrifice flesh and blood. If human blood is not enough, they use cats and dogs instead."
Shen Liushuang nodded: "Since she can kill people...using psychokinesis to create this serial murder case, there are traces to follow."
"If it's Jin Niang, many details can be explained."
Liu Rutang said: "Several people died in Chang'an City one after another, and Zhen'Esi started investigating. She must be worried about being found out, so she just went to work and killed everyone in the inn to erase her traces from now on."
"Didn't the landlady say that? Jin Niang has no father or mother. Now her only connection with the world is Jun Lai's inn. Once the inn is destroyed, no one will know her identity and whereabouts."
She touched her chin: "Otherwise, why did the murderer choose this inn?"
Shi Dai hummed softly.
Why the murderer chose to attack at Junlai Inn was a question that had troubled her for a long time.
This inn is located on the outskirts of Chang'an. Although it is remote, it is not inaccessible.
There are many places that are harder to detect than it, and there are also many places that are easier to attack than it——
What’s so special about Junlai Inn?
If the murderer is Jin Niang, it makes sense according to Liu Rutang's reasoning.
"indeed so."
Shen Liushuang agreed: "Wei Xiao and Yu Zhihua didn't have the opportunity to commit the crime. If Han Zong's suspicion can be completely ruled out, Jinniang will be the definite murderer."
Now that the evil spirits were attacking, she went back to the house alone.
From this point of view alone, it is very abnormal.
"correct."
Shi Dai looked around: "What did you find in this room?"
"Utensils for hunting and spices for roasting food."
Yan Qinghuan answered honestly: "There are still some bits and pieces."
He walked to the table and opened a small cloth bag: "Here, here it is. This is the baggage brought by Yu Zhihua."
Shi Dai looked closer.
The cloth bag contained scattered small items, including a round box of spices, a handkerchief embroidered with peach blossoms, a wooden comb, and a bottle of gold sore medicine.
Nothing worth paying attention to.
"and this."
Yan Qinghuan took out a sachet from his arms: "It's the prayer note from Yu Zhihua and Wei Xiao."
Opening the sachet, he took out the prayer note.
It was a piece of light crimson-colored paper. It looked old and had a faint yellow tint.
There was a line of small words written on the paper. Shi Dai looked at it carefully. It was a line from "Xizhou Song".
[The south wind knows what I want].
"The south wind knows what I want, blowing dreams to Xizhou."
Shen Liushuang leaned forward and picked up the lower corner of the prayer note with her fingertips: "The marriage note I asked for from the temple... looks very old."
"Yu Zhihua and Wei Xiao both treasure it."
Yan Qinghuan scratched his head: "The reminder of the painting I got is that Wei Xiao was seriously injured. He kept holding him in his arms and lay on the bed praying for Yu Zhihua's safety."
So loving.
Shi Dai looked at it carefully for a while: "How long have this unmarried couple known each other? This piece of paper has been kept for many years, right?"
Liu Rutang had interrogated everyone in the inn that night in detail, and he had the best say: "They have known each other for about five or six years, and they have become in love over time."
There was nothing fishy in the rooms of Wei Xiao and Yu Zhihua, and the last suspicion was eliminated.
"finally--!"
Liu Rutang clenched his fists and said with great enthusiasm: "The only thing left is Han Zong, and the case will be closed soon!"
She was very busy with this case, and when it was over, she wanted to treat herself and Lady Bai Jiu to a good meal.
Shen Liushuang raised her eyebrows and deliberately teased her: "Be careful, there will be an unexpected reversal for Han Zong?"
Liu Rutang quickly covered her mouth.
Yan Qinghuan swallowed silently on the side.
He has been reading case-solving scripts for so many years and has summarized the following three experiences:
First, when someone is killed, there is a [-]% chance that the husband or wife is the murderer.
Second, if a corpse is completely unrecognizable, its identity must have been changed.
Third, a case that goes too smoothly will definitely cause trouble later, catching everyone by surprise.
Yan Qinghuan decided not to be clumsy and swallowed the words down his throat.
"There is still some time before the third wave of evil."
Shen Liushuang smiled: "Everyone has worked hard for so long, why don't you take a short break? I heard that the third wave of evil spirits' attack is very fierce, so be careful not to get hurt."
"I'll wait in the lobby."
Liu Rutang: "Let's see if there are any other suspicious people."
Almost all the guests were taken to the first floor by the proprietress. She stayed in the lobby and had a panoramic view of all living beings.
"I'll take a walk around the second floor and take a rest."
Shi Dai's legs were still sore from being frightened and tired in Guidaqiang.
As she spoke, she looked sideways and smiled lightly: "Master Jiang, do you want to come with us? Let's discuss how to get close to Han Zong later."
As soon as these words came out, four eyes with different meanings were attracted.
Shen Liushuang frowned: Is this a separate invitation?
Liu Rutang's eyes lit up: It's a separate invitation!
Yan Qinghuan clenched his fists in admiration: As expected of Miss Shi, she was obviously extremely exhausted and was already preparing for the third wave of evil.
He also has to work hard to investigate!
Jiang Baiyan raised his eyes and met her almond-shaped eyes.
The corner of Shi Dai's mouth was always filled with a smile, like light snow melting, her eyes were clear in black and white, and the ends of her eyes were curved.
For some reason, Jiang Baiyan felt a bit gloomy.
But he still responded: "Okay."
*
There was no one on the second floor. Shi Dai walked slowly in the corridor.
Jiang Baiyan walked beside her.
"How is Mr. Jiang's injury?"
Shi Dai glanced at him: "The evil spirit entered the body and she lost so much blood. What did Mr. Yan say?"
It was a look of concern, just like normal.
Jiang Baiyan responded softly: "It's no problem. He gave me a pill to nourish qi and blood, and I got better after taking it."
"That's fine."
Shi Dai took the key, opened Wei Ling's room, and poured a cup of tea for each of them: "Mr. Jiang, tell Mr. Yan, has any evil spirit seeped into your wound?"
Jiang Baiyan: "Not really."
Shi Dai raised her eyelashes, showing confusion.
"The evil spirit has been eradicated, so there is no need to worry about it."
Jiang Baiyan smiled: "How is Miss Shi's injury?"
See it.
This is changing the subject.
Shi Dai took a sip of herbal tea and suddenly woke up.
She was well protected in the ghost wall, with only a few small scratches and blood marks on her body.
When Jiang Baiyan returned to her room, Shen Liushuang helped her handle it carefully.
"What can I do."
Shi Dai remained calm and brought the topic back: "Master Jiang's injury is much more serious than mine. By the way, weren't you scratched by a cat once? Are you okay there?"
Because of her words, the wound on the back of her hand burst into pain and itching.
Jiang Baiyan moved his knuckles slightly: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury."
Shi Dai frowned and responded in a low voice: "Small injury? I remember you were bleeding a lot in the kitchen at that time - this was the first time I saw someone scratched like that by a cat."
She paused: "This is the first time I've seen evil energy entering my body."
The candlelight flickered in the room, blurring the boundaries between light and dark.
A thin line gathers in the corner where light and dark intersect, dragging and pulling, silently.
The shadow reflected on the ground was also slightly shaken.
Shi Dai spoke cryptically, and the words tugged at the tip of his heart several times. It didn't even require clear sentences, but it already touched on some obscure secret.
Jiang Baiyan has always been a smart man.
Sometimes it's not bad to be confused.
"...Ms. Shi."
He whispered: "What do you want to say?"
Shi Dai clenched her right fist and heard the beating of her heart.
Heaven and earth can tell.
She looked calm and relaxed on the outside, but in fact she was extremely nervous and tense inside.
I have rarely lost my temper in my life, let alone faced a confrontation right now.
She has zero experience.
"I--"
After barely calming down, Shi Dai said firmly: "I want to see the wound you got scratched by the cat, is that okay?"
A quiet breath in my ears.
Then two breaths, three breaths.
In the silence of the room, she heard Jiang Baiyan's laughter.
"Miss Shi, it's best not to look."
His voice was light and his smile seemed to be self-deprecating: "The knife wound is ugly, and it may scare you."
knife wound.
What a stab wound.
——Is it really a stab wound?
She didn't expect him to be so frank, and Shi Dai was startled.
The half-bright light and shadow were shattered at the touch of a finger, and the half-covered atmosphere was completely shattered.
Jiang Baiyan stood under the candlelight and raised his eyes, his eyes slightly raised with a thin light.
He whispered: "How did Miss Shi know?"
Shi Dai met his gaze: "...the wound will not be infected if it is injured by ordinary evil spirits."
Both of them had already spoken. She thought of the dark blood stains on Jiang Baiyan's shoulder, and became even more angry: "Why, why are you like this?"
Because he is not normal.
Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, not letting her see the emotions in his eyes clearly——
It was like a bottomless dark swamp, with sharp thorns and piles of dirty mud.
"Because this makes me feel happy."
His tone was calm, as if he was not talking about himself: "Miss Shi, every time the pain reaches the extreme, I feel happy. That's the kind of person I am."
He peeled away the evil thoughts in his heart to her layer by layer, revealing a side that even he hated.
Jiang Baiyan found it funny. Along with the dense pain in his chest, it was a pleasure that was almost masochistic.
At the same time, there was also embarrassment and embarrassment.
Why is he embarrassed?To him, this is not that important.
Because the person you confide in is Shi Dai?
Jiang Baiyan was slightly lost in thought.
His mind was extremely sick, and he could have said some barbed words, but in an instant, he remembered Shi Dai's blood-stained palms when she cut out the poison for him.
He closed his eyes and finally said only one sentence: "Sorry for involving you."
Shi Dai seemed to be frightened and looked at him blankly.
After a long while, Jiang Baiyan listened to her ask: "Why do you feel happy because of pain?"
"do not know."
He smiled softly, and the ending was a casual sarcasm: "Maybe because you are more familiar with it?"
Probably feeling disgusted, Shi Dai said nothing.
The room fell silent for a moment, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyebrows and felt the strange emotions in his chest.
Very stuffy and out of breath.
Just like on a foggy evening in late winter, the sky is filled with dark clouds and impenetrable wind, but a timely rain cannot wait.
"Miss Shi."
He turned his head slightly: "If there is nothing else -"
Shi Dai: "Because you have been injured but have not had any contact with others?"
Jiang Baiyan didn't answer.
In an instant, I heard her continue: "If you don't mind-"
Shi Dai said: "You can give me your hand."
……what?
Jiang Baiyan almost thought he was hearing hallucinations.
Looking down, Shi Dai raised her hand and touched her ears.
Her eyes were particularly bright, with helpless sullenness and embarrassment in them, as she slightly pursed her lips.
"Anyway."
Unable to come up with anything nice to say in this situation, Shi Dai talked nonsense and confidently said: "Get in touch with us more often. In this way, you will become familiar with the real pleasure."
Oh damn, what is she talking about.
The tips of her ears turned red, Shi Dai glared at him briefly and stretched out her right hand.
It would be a lie to say that you are not angry.
I have never seen Jiang Baiyan take himself so seriously.
When he was obviously protecting her, he was very serious from beginning to end and never caused her any pain.
The sullen energy was over, and when I thought about it, I felt helpless.
At the same age, other children were acting coquettishly in their parents' arms, while Jiang Baiyan was tortured in every possible way by evil cultivators in that dark underground darkroom.
There was no reason for her to accuse him too much from her own standpoint.
But still angry.
Shi Dai's voice was muffled and she shook her finger: "Do you want to try it?"
Jiang Baiyan looked at her intently.
All kinds of bad words were blocked by her words, stuck in her throat and melted in her heart.
Somehow, he reached out his right hand.
The distance gradually shortens to nothing.
The moment he touched Shi Dai, Jiang Baiyan's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
The fingertips touched and separated.
Like a cat encountering hot water for the first time.
He seemed to be burned, his knuckles retracted, and the next moment, he was gently hooked by Shi Dai again.
The author has something to say:

The answer was as expected.
"of course not."
Liu Rutang said: "The evil cultivator behind the scenes is not an expert. If he sets up a formation, he won't be able to attract too strong evil things."
She felt puzzled and glanced over: "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Shi Dai's throat was sore and her mind was a little confused.
"fine."
Shi Dai said: "I have seen similar scenes in story books before."
Even the common people in the inn have not had their bodies corroded by evil energy.
Her expression calmed down and she pursed her lips, thinking, let alone Jiang Baiyan who had spiritual energy.
Oh, he is also a mermaid, naturally stronger than humans.
So, what happened to the wounds on Jiang Baiyan’s body?
"The stories are all fabricated and cannot be taken to be true."
Liu Rutang didn't know what she was thinking, so he said carelessly: "The literati who wrote the book have never caught evil spirits personally."
"Too."
Shi Dai followed her words and asked: "What if we want to let evil energy enter the body like in the storybook? Apart from being injured by high-level evil objects, is there any other way?"
"I once met an evil cultivator."
Shen Liushuang said: "He enjoys torturing people and pours the evil energy in his body directly into other people's wounds - in this way, the wounds will be infected immediately."
After saying this, she did not forget to warn: "Most evil cultivators follow heretical practices and are indifferent to human life. If you encounter them in the future, you must be on guard."
"of course."
Shi Dai gave a habitual smile and changed the subject with ease: "Let's go to Jinniang's room quickly. If she returns to the room later, she will be in trouble."
Jin Niang is the cook of the inn and is assigned a special place to live.
The three of them seized the opportunity and headed to Jin Niang's bedroom located in the corner of the corridor.
Shi Dai secretly organized her thoughts.
To be sure, the evil spirit in Jiang Baiyan's injury definitely did not come from any of the demons in the Ghost Wall.
Shi Dai was not stupid. After ruling out this conjecture, after thinking about it, there was only one possibility left.
Jiang Baiyan has been living with evil cultivators for several years, and he knows more or less some evil practices——
The evil spirit in the bloody mouth was poured into it by himself.
She was uncontrollably frightened.
Is he crazy?Risking your life and letting yourself be corrupted by evil spirits?What does Jiang Baiyan draw?
Once the tip of the iceberg is uncovered, more weirdness is revealed.
While in the kitchen, Jiang Baiyan claimed to have been scratched several times by a cat.
Shi Dai was startled when she heard this. Although she was surprised, Jiang Baiyan was the only one in the kitchen, and there was no trace of anyone else.
She also thought that if the cat hadn't scratched, it couldn't have been Jiang Baiyan himself.
Now it seems that it is really possible that he did it himself.
Shi Dai scratched the palm of her hand.
She did not forget that at that time she wanted to see the scratches on the back of Jiang Baiyan's hand, but the latter deliberately covered them up.Shi Dai just thought he was prudent and didn't get more entangled.
"It's here."
Liu Rutang stopped in front of a door: "Jin Niang's room."
Shi Dai came back to her senses and looked at the small lock on the wooden door: "How do we get in?"
Is it necessary to break the lock by force?
Liu Rutang smiled: "Look at me."
She touched the white snake necklace around her neck.
Although Lady Bai Jiu has not transformed into her original form, her consciousness is still there, guarding Liu Rutang.
Being touched like this, White Snake instantly understood, and a trace of red light flashed at the front of the necklace.
A wisp of white smoke spit out from the mouth of the necklace snake, ethereal and condensed into a translucent snake shape.
The size of the smoke snake is getting smaller and smaller, gradually approaching the shape of a key, swaying twice, and sinking straight into the keyhole.
With a click, the wooden door opened.
"How about it, is it alright?"
Liu Rutang smiled at Shi Dai and said, "This is Lady Bai Jiu's signature skill. She fills the keyhole with spiritual energy and acts as a key. There is no keyhole in Jokhang that it cannot deal with."
Lady Bai Jiu:...
The red eyes of the little snake necklace flashed a few times, expressing silent protest.
This is not its signature skill!The Xian family wants to save face, okay?
It was getting late, Shen Liushuang took the lighting talisman handed over by Shi Dai and pushed open the door.
What greeted me was a strong aroma that seemed familiar.
It's like a mixture of all kinds of spices. It's too strong and overwhelming, and it's overwhelming.
Shi Dai frowned at the smell and covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves.
She remembered that the aroma was exactly the same as the smell of Jinniang's body.
"Go in and search."
Shen Liushuang was very cautious: "I will stay in the corridor and watch the wind."
If Jin Niang comes back unexpectedly and catches the three of them on the spot, the illusion will collapse.
Shi Debi made a received gesture and raised her lips slightly: "Understood."
She clearly understands the priorities. The top priority is to find out the real culprit, and she must not be distracted.As for Jiang Baiyan...
Shi Dai grinded her teeth.
Meet him face to face later and ask him properly.
Looking up, this is an extremely simple bedroom.
There was only a table, a chair, a bed, and a wooden shelf filled with messy knick-knacks.
"really weird."
Liu Rutang muttered softly: "What does she use such a strong fragrance?"
"In this room—"
The necklace around her neck suddenly moved and turned into a circling white snake with red eyes.
Lady Bai Jiu looked around and spat out a message: "There is an aura that makes me uncomfortable."
As an immortal, it has a very keen sense of evil spirits.
Liu Rutang was alert: "Is it evil?"
"Not sure." Lady Bai Jiu sniffed, "The smell is too messy."
Shi Dai focused on the wooden frame: "What are these?"
Like a pile of junk.
She rummaged carefully and found only a few old story books, four or five broken toys, and half-embroidered embroidery.
Liu Rutang searched the bed carefully, but found nothing.
Jinniang's room was too empty, with almost no hiding corners.If you have to say it——
Shi Dai's gaze moved downwards, slowly focusing on the gap under the bed.
Could there be something hidden here?
Without thinking too much, she squatted down and lifted up the thin sheets.
There is not much space under the bed, because at night, a large area of thick shadow solidifies.
Shi Dai held up the lighting talisman and leaned down to look through the dim yellow light, and saw two green dots.
wrong.
The strong coldness was like a thunder, climbing up from the spine to Tianling Gai. Shi Dai's hand shook and she almost lost her grip on the talisman.
——Those were clearly a pair of eyes staring straight at her!
Jie Jie was startled, and his heart pounded.
Shi Dai suppressed the exclamation in her throat, plucked up the courage to poke the lighting talisman inside.
It's a dead black cat.
There were no traces of decay on the black cat's body, and it had not been dead for long. It lay under the bed with lifeless eyes, its body merged with the darkness, and its pair of green pupils were particularly conspicuous.
"What did you find?"
Liu Rutang noticed her movements, leaned down and hissed softly: "Cat corpse?"
Lady Bai Jiu poked her head in and said, "Hey, isn't it?"
"It seems," Shi Dai probed deeper, "there is something else."
Liu Rutang found the broom beside the door and pulled out everything.
The body of a black cat had its abdomen penetrated and was stained with black blood. The strange thing was that its body was shriveled, as if it had been hollowed out.
A rusty bell, a piece of blood-stained cloth, and a torn pamphlet.
Shi Dai opened the book, and there were messy handwriting on every page.
[Cat, three days. 】
[Dog, four days. 】
【Seven days. 】
[Cat, [-]th. 】
In front of the word "seven days", there is a blackened ink ball.
"Sister Rutang."
Shi Dai handed the brochure to Liu Rutang: "What does this mean?"
Lady Bai Jiu, who had been wearing a necklace for half the night, was twisting and stretching her body. When she saw this, she lowered her head and rolled her eyes lightly.
"Look at that cat, is it drained of blood?"
Lady Bai Jiu hummed softly: "I estimate that this is the number of days it takes to drink blood."
It thought thoughtfully: "The rusty bell under the bed looks very much like a soul-catching bell."
Soul-catching bell?
Shi Dai searched for relevant information in her memory.
Evil cultivators often require sacrifices of flesh, blood and soul.
The soul-catching bell is a magical weapon commonly used by evil cultivators. As the name suggests, it can absorb souls and use them for one's own use.
There is something like this hidden in Jin Niang’s room, which means——
Shi Dai: "Is Jinniang an evil cultivator?"
"That's not surprising."
Bai Jiu Niangzi said: "Didn't the boss lady say that Jin Niang often talks to herself? Once a new evil cultivator practices improperly, the evil energy in the body will collide, and the soul may be confused."
It shrugged: "Then it turned into her nagging look."
Liu Rutang suddenly understood: "The booklet said that she caught a cat and drank its blood for three days, and then caught a dog and drank its blood for four days. The 'seven days' on the third page——"
What kind of blood can sustain her for seven days?
The name of this thing was specially erased by Jin Niang.
Shi Dai and Liu Rutang looked at each other and read the same thoughts in each other's eyes.
"If it's just a jackal, tiger, and leopard, there's no need for her to erase it after writing it."
Shi Dai's back felt a little cold: "Is he... a human?"
Judging from Jin Niang's behavior, if she is really an evil cultivator, she is just getting started.
Out of guilt and fear of harming fellow members of the same clan, it is indeed possible to blackout the word "human" in a panic after writing it.
"If you look at it this way."
Shi Dai calmed down: "Jin Niang uses a lot of spices, is it to... cover up the evil spirit and the smell of blood?"
The cat's corpse lay under the bed. When they entered the house, they could only smell the overly strong and overpowering smell.
"Low-level evil cultivators don't know how to hide evil spirits."
Lady Bai Jiu was worthy of being a well-informed immortal. She thought for a moment and said, "It makes sense that she uses this to confuse her aura."
"So," Liu Rutang raised an eyebrow, "Is it most likely that Jin Niang is the murderer of the recent serial murders?"
Practicing evil practices, staying at Junlai Inn, killing people and cats and dogs to extract their flesh and blood.
The most important thing is that after the incident, Jinniang disappeared without a trace, as if she was absconding in fear of crime.
"Currently, she seems to be the most suspect."
Shi Dai nodded: "Wei Xiao is the last suspect left. When the third wave of evil strikes, you go to his room and take a look."
They rummaged through Jin Niang's bed and found it in a mess. The two restored it to its original state with the help of their memories and explored the room again, but could not find any more clues.
Until there was a knock on the door, Shen Liushuang pushed open the door: "Jin Niang has made some moves. Come out."
*
Shi Dai and Liu Rutang left the room as if nothing was wrong.
Lady Bai Jiu obediently transformed into a necklace and hung it on Liu Rutang's chest. If she looked carefully, she could see that the little white snake on the chain was blinking lazily.
Passing the corner of the corridor, Shi Dai happened to pass by Jin Niang.
There was still the pungent smell of spices, and the two of them looked at each other for a moment.
Jin Niang trembled obviously, quickly looked away, and hurried back to the room as if she was running away.
Shi Dai: "She's afraid of us?"
Being used to seeing evil cultivators in Zhen'es, Liu Rutang said seriously: "This is called a guilty conscience."
Most fledgling evil cultivators are at the dividing point of extreme contradictions.
On the one hand, he is greedy for the power brought by evil methods, but on the other hand, he still has human reason and understands that what he has done is harmful to nature and justice.
——Of course, after repeated entanglements, they will always choose to continue practicing evil arts and leave ethics, justice and shame behind.
Shen Liushuang: "A guilty conscience? What are you looking for?"
Shi Dai tightened her face and said with a mysterious look: "A major discovery."
"Young Master Yan and Young Master Jiang are probably searching for Yu Zhihua's baggage, right?"
Liu Rutang smiled and touched her head: "Let's talk together after we meet."
There was only a small space in Junlai Inn, and the three of them quickly returned to Wei Xiao's room on the second floor.
It was Yan Qinghuan who opened the door. When he saw it was them, he smiled widely.
"Master Jiang and I searched the guest room."
Yan Qinghuan took a few steps back to make room to enter the house: "I didn't find anything special."
Shi Dai stepped into the door and looked at Jiang Baiyan for the first time.
He was re-bandaged by Yan Qinghuan to stop the bleeding. His face was pale and bloodless, and when he looked at it, he looked like cold jade without any warmth.
Jiang Baiyan was also looking at her.
His expression was almost the same as usual, sparse and restrained, with dark eyes.
The blood stain on his chest was dazzlingly red.
Shi Dai:......
Shi Dai: Ha.
Frankly, she was a little angry.
"We've made a big discovery here."
Liu Rutang touched her with his elbow: "Dai Dai, do you say it or should I say it?" I didn't realize it before in Jin Niang's room, but now that she saw Jiang Baiyan, her thoughts that had finally calmed down became chaotic again.
Shi Dai smiled: "You come on."
Liu Rutang coughed lightly: "Okay."
She described the whole situation in detail, emphasizing the cat corpse, the booklet and the Soul-Calling Bell.
Yan Qinghuan listened intently, pondered over the vague "seven days", and shrank to Jiang Baiyan's side.
"It is indeed evil."
Jiang Baiyan said quietly: "Many evil cultivators sacrifice flesh and blood. If human blood is not enough, they use cats and dogs instead."
Shen Liushuang nodded: "Since she can kill people...using psychokinesis to create this serial murder case, there are traces to follow."
"If it's Jin Niang, many details can be explained."
Liu Rutang said: "Several people died in Chang'an City one after another, and Zhen'Esi started investigating. She must be worried about being found out, so she just went to work and killed everyone in the inn to erase her traces from now on."
"Didn't the landlady say that? Jin Niang has no father or mother. Now her only connection with the world is Jun Lai's inn. Once the inn is destroyed, no one will know her identity and whereabouts."
She touched her chin: "Otherwise, why did the murderer choose this inn?"
Shi Dai hummed softly.
Why the murderer chose to attack at Junlai Inn was a question that had troubled her for a long time.
This inn is located on the outskirts of Chang'an. Although it is remote, it is not inaccessible.
There are many places that are harder to detect than it, and there are also many places that are easier to attack than it——
What’s so special about Junlai Inn?
If the murderer is Jin Niang, it makes sense according to Liu Rutang's reasoning.
"indeed so."
Shen Liushuang agreed: "Wei Xiao and Yu Zhihua didn't have the opportunity to commit the crime. If Han Zong's suspicion can be completely ruled out, Jinniang will be the definite murderer."
Now that the evil spirits were attacking, she went back to the house alone.
From this point of view alone, it is very abnormal.
"correct."
Shi Dai looked around: "What did you find in this room?"
"Utensils for hunting and spices for roasting food."
Yan Qinghuan answered honestly: "There are still some bits and pieces."
He walked to the table and opened a small cloth bag: "Here, here it is. This is the baggage brought by Yu Zhihua."
Shi Dai looked closer.
The cloth bag contained scattered small items, including a round box of spices, a handkerchief embroidered with peach blossoms, a wooden comb, and a bottle of gold sore medicine.
Nothing worth paying attention to.
"and this."
Yan Qinghuan took out a sachet from his arms: "It's the prayer note from Yu Zhihua and Wei Xiao."
Opening the sachet, he took out the prayer note.
It was a piece of light crimson-colored paper. It looked old and had a faint yellow tint.
There was a line of small words written on the paper. Shi Dai looked at it carefully. It was a line from "Xizhou Song".
[The south wind knows what I want].
"The south wind knows what I want, blowing dreams to Xizhou."
Shen Liushuang leaned forward and picked up the lower corner of the prayer note with her fingertips: "The marriage note I asked for from the temple... looks very old."
"Yu Zhihua and Wei Xiao both treasure it."
Yan Qinghuan scratched his head: "The reminder of the painting I got is that Wei Xiao was seriously injured. He kept holding him in his arms and lay on the bed praying for Yu Zhihua's safety."
So loving.
Shi Dai looked at it carefully for a while: "How long have this unmarried couple known each other? This piece of paper has been kept for many years, right?"
Liu Rutang had interrogated everyone in the inn that night in detail, and he had the best say: "They have known each other for about five or six years, and they have become in love over time."
There was nothing fishy in the rooms of Wei Xiao and Yu Zhihua, and the last suspicion was eliminated.
"finally--!"
Liu Rutang clenched his fists and said with great enthusiasm: "The only thing left is Han Zong, and the case will be closed soon!"
She was very busy with this case, and when it was over, she wanted to treat herself and Lady Bai Jiu to a good meal.
Shen Liushuang raised her eyebrows and deliberately teased her: "Be careful, there will be an unexpected reversal for Han Zong?"
Liu Rutang quickly covered her mouth.
Yan Qinghuan swallowed silently on the side.
He has been reading case-solving scripts for so many years and has summarized the following three experiences:
First, when someone is killed, there is a [-]% chance that the husband or wife is the murderer.
Second, if a corpse is completely unrecognizable, its identity must have been changed.
Third, a case that goes too smoothly will definitely cause trouble later, catching everyone by surprise.
Yan Qinghuan decided not to be clumsy and swallowed the words down his throat.
"There is still some time before the third wave of evil."
Shen Liushuang smiled: "Everyone has worked hard for so long, why don't you take a short break? I heard that the third wave of evil spirits' attack is very fierce, so be careful not to get hurt."
"I'll wait in the lobby."
Liu Rutang: "Let's see if there are any other suspicious people."
Almost all the guests were taken to the first floor by the proprietress. She stayed in the lobby and had a panoramic view of all living beings.
"I'll take a walk around the second floor and take a rest."
Shi Dai's legs were still sore from being frightened and tired in Guidaqiang.
As she spoke, she looked sideways and smiled lightly: "Master Jiang, do you want to come with us? Let's discuss how to get close to Han Zong later."
As soon as these words came out, four eyes with different meanings were attracted.
Shen Liushuang frowned: Is this a separate invitation?
Liu Rutang's eyes lit up: It's a separate invitation!
Yan Qinghuan clenched his fists in admiration: As expected of Miss Shi, she was obviously extremely exhausted and was already preparing for the third wave of evil.
He also has to work hard to investigate!
Jiang Baiyan raised his eyes and met her almond-shaped eyes.
The corner of Shi Dai's mouth was always filled with a smile, like light snow melting, her eyes were clear in black and white, and the ends of her eyes were curved.
For some reason, Jiang Baiyan felt a bit gloomy.
But he still responded: "Okay."
*
There was no one on the second floor. Shi Dai walked slowly in the corridor.
Jiang Baiyan walked beside her.
"How is Mr. Jiang's injury?"
Shi Dai glanced at him: "The evil spirit entered the body and she lost so much blood. What did Mr. Yan say?"
It was a look of concern, just like normal.
Jiang Baiyan responded softly: "It's no problem. He gave me a pill to nourish qi and blood, and I got better after taking it."
"That's fine."
Shi Dai took the key, opened Wei Ling's room, and poured a cup of tea for each of them: "Mr. Jiang, tell Mr. Yan, has any evil spirit seeped into your wound?"
Jiang Baiyan: "Not really."
Shi Dai raised her eyelashes, showing confusion.
"The evil spirit has been eradicated, so there is no need to worry about it."
Jiang Baiyan smiled: "How is Miss Shi's injury?"
See it.
This is changing the subject.
Shi Dai took a sip of herbal tea and suddenly woke up.
She was well protected in the ghost wall, with only a few small scratches and blood marks on her body.
When Jiang Baiyan returned to her room, Shen Liushuang helped her handle it carefully.
"What can I do."
Shi Dai remained calm and brought the topic back: "Master Jiang's injury is much more serious than mine. By the way, weren't you scratched by a cat once? Are you okay there?"
Because of her words, the wound on the back of her hand burst into pain and itching.
Jiang Baiyan moved his knuckles slightly: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury."
Shi Dai frowned and responded in a low voice: "Small injury? I remember you were bleeding a lot in the kitchen at that time - this was the first time I saw someone scratched like that by a cat."
She paused: "This is the first time I've seen evil energy entering my body."
The candlelight flickered in the room, blurring the boundaries between light and dark.
A thin line gathers in the corner where light and dark intersect, dragging and pulling, silently.
The shadow reflected on the ground was also slightly shaken.
Shi Dai spoke cryptically, and the words tugged at the tip of his heart several times. It didn't even require clear sentences, but it already touched on some obscure secret.
Jiang Baiyan has always been a smart man.
Sometimes it's not bad to be confused.
"...Ms. Shi."
He whispered: "What do you want to say?"
Shi Dai clenched her right fist and heard the beating of her heart.
Heaven and earth can tell.
She looked calm and relaxed on the outside, but in fact she was extremely nervous and tense inside.
I have rarely lost my temper in my life, let alone faced a confrontation right now.
She has zero experience.
"I--"
After barely calming down, Shi Dai said firmly: "I want to see the wound you got scratched by the cat, is that okay?"
A quiet breath in my ears.
Then two breaths, three breaths.
In the silence of the room, she heard Jiang Baiyan's laughter.
"Miss Shi, it's best not to look."
His voice was light and his smile seemed to be self-deprecating: "The knife wound is ugly, and it may scare you."
knife wound.
What a stab wound.
——Is it really a stab wound?
She didn't expect him to be so frank, and Shi Dai was startled.
The half-bright light and shadow were shattered at the touch of a finger, and the half-covered atmosphere was completely shattered.
Jiang Baiyan stood under the candlelight and raised his eyes, his eyes slightly raised with a thin light.
He whispered: "How did Miss Shi know?"
Shi Dai met his gaze: "...the wound will not be infected if it is injured by ordinary evil spirits."
Both of them had already spoken. She thought of the dark blood stains on Jiang Baiyan's shoulder, and became even more angry: "Why, why are you like this?"
Because he is not normal.
Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, not letting her see the emotions in his eyes clearly——
It was like a bottomless dark swamp, with sharp thorns and piles of dirty mud.
"Because this makes me feel happy."
His tone was calm, as if he was not talking about himself: "Miss Shi, every time the pain reaches the extreme, I feel happy. That's the kind of person I am."
He peeled away the evil thoughts in his heart to her layer by layer, revealing a side that even he hated.
Jiang Baiyan found it funny. Along with the dense pain in his chest, it was a pleasure that was almost masochistic.
At the same time, there was also embarrassment and embarrassment.
Why is he embarrassed?To him, this is not that important.
Because the person you confide in is Shi Dai?
Jiang Baiyan was slightly lost in thought.
His mind was extremely sick, and he could have said some barbed words, but in an instant, he remembered Shi Dai's blood-stained palms when she cut out the poison for him.
He closed his eyes and finally said only one sentence: "Sorry for involving you."
Shi Dai seemed to be frightened and looked at him blankly.
After a long while, Jiang Baiyan listened to her ask: "Why do you feel happy because of pain?"
"do not know."
He smiled softly, and the ending was a casual sarcasm: "Maybe because you are more familiar with it?"
Probably feeling disgusted, Shi Dai said nothing.
The room fell silent for a moment, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyebrows and felt the strange emotions in his chest.
Very stuffy and out of breath.
Just like on a foggy evening in late winter, the sky is filled with dark clouds and impenetrable wind, but a timely rain cannot wait.
"Miss Shi."
He turned his head slightly: "If there is nothing else -"
Shi Dai: "Because you have been injured but have not had any contact with others?"
Jiang Baiyan didn't answer.
In an instant, I heard her continue: "If you don't mind-"
Shi Dai said: "You can give me your hand."
……what?
Jiang Baiyan almost thought he was hearing hallucinations.
Looking down, Shi Dai raised her hand and touched her ears.
Her eyes were particularly bright, with helpless sullenness and embarrassment in them, as she slightly pursed her lips.
"Anyway."
Unable to come up with anything nice to say in this situation, Shi Dai talked nonsense and confidently said: "Get in touch with us more often. In this way, you will become familiar with the real pleasure."
Oh damn, what is she talking about.
The tips of her ears turned red, Shi Dai glared at him briefly and stretched out her right hand.
It would be a lie to say that you are not angry.
I have never seen Jiang Baiyan take himself so seriously.
When he was obviously protecting her, he was very serious from beginning to end and never caused her any pain.
The sullen energy was over, and when I thought about it, I felt helpless.
At the same age, other children were acting coquettishly in their parents' arms, while Jiang Baiyan was tortured in every possible way by evil cultivators in that dark underground darkroom.
There was no reason for her to accuse him too much from her own standpoint.
But still angry.
Shi Dai's voice was muffled and she shook her finger: "Do you want to try it?"
Jiang Baiyan looked at her intently.
All kinds of bad words were blocked by her words, stuck in her throat and melted in her heart.
Somehow, he reached out his right hand.
The distance gradually shortens to nothing.
The moment he touched Shi Dai, Jiang Baiyan's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
The fingertips touched and separated.
Like a cat encountering hot water for the first time.
He seemed to be burned, his knuckles retracted, and the next moment, he was gently hooked by Shi Dai again.
