The world is enchanting, the handsome man is so enchanting

Chapter 254
"Well! I'll sleep for a while!"

Yu Qingyan stretched out her arms to hug Lv Junliu, the big human hearth, nestled comfortably, closed her eyes for a nap, and soon fell asleep.

The rainstorm has just stopped, and the sky is still dark and cloudy.The ground is full of potholes, the path is muddy, and the muddy path is covered with dead branches and fallen leaves, which shows how heavy the rain is.

After Bai Xiaoyue briefly explained the family affairs and gave Bai Rushuang and Xuanyuan Zhiming a lot of words, she, Feng Yuli and others followed the original plan and set foot on the road to search for Xuan Die Ying.

When the heavy rain stopped, the mountain road was wet and slippery, and it was inconvenient for a carriage to walk. They used horses instead of walking, and rode fast through the dense forest.The address sent by the beggar gang is about [-] miles away from Mirror Moon Villa, and it will take three days to get there even if you go fast.

In order to go and return quickly, they didn't make too many stops on the way. They often had a meal and a shot, and before the sun came out, they were already on their way in a hurry.In this way, in the evening of the third day, they finally arrived at the address described on the scroll.

In a small manor, there is no mansion name taboo on the gate, and there is no unique and conspicuous sign.The bluestone courtyard wall is covered with vines, and along a branch of red apricot sticking out of the courtyard wall, it climbs into the courtyard, forming a natural awning.

Probably the rainstorm had just stopped, before cleaning, there were countless dead leaves and broken branches scattered on the bluestone board.Small puddles, occasionally one or two drops of rainwater on the branches and leaves, swaying a small ripple.As the wind blows, the branches and leaves in the courtyard rustle; the water drips, and occasionally one or two "ticks", which become the only beating notes in the silent courtyard wall.

"Strange!"

Bai Xiaoyue suddenly stopped in her tracks, frowned in thought, with a serious expression.

"Did you feel anything strange?"

"No sound!"

Pei Yekai has been marching and fighting for so many years, so he naturally understands the truth of "going into the forest to watch the birds chirping, and going into the mountains to hear the beast's cry".He slowed down and replied seriously: "It's too quiet here!"

Quiet, unusually quiet, deadly quiet!

The setting sun is slanting, the color of blood.

Bai Xiaoyue winked at Lan Lingyu, and Lan Lingyu raised her voice and called out loudly, "Is there anyone in there—Sister Dieying, are you there—we're here to return the Soul Happiness Jade—"

Responding, the wind was whistling, the branches and leaves were falling, like a lonely soul wandering in the world, falling lightly at their feet.

Everyone looked at each other with shock on their faces.An ominous feeling emerged in everyone's hearts, and everyone's faces changed completely.Looking at each other and exchanging thoughts with each other, Lan Lingyu tried to push the door in carelessly, but was dragged back by Bai Xiaoyue by the collar.

"Yue, what are you doing!" Lan Lingyu protested dissatisfied, "I'll go in and see the situation, why are you stopping me!"

Bai Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows solemnly, pointed to an inconspicuous corner of the wall, and said in a concentrated voice: "Look at the wall on the left side of the courtyard gate."

Everyone heard the words and turned their gazes to the place Bai Xiaoyue pointed at. There were a few shallow scratches, engraved in the inconspicuous corners, a few old dark red, like the color of a brick wall falling off.Yu Qing looked at Bai Xiaoyue again in puzzlement, but heard Pei Yekai's gasping voice beside her, "Blood..."

Lv Junliu stepped forward, knelt down and stretched out her right index finger to lightly touch the dark red, carefully observed it, put it under her nose and smelled it, then twirled it with her fingertips, looked back at the crowd, nodded, "Indeed It's blood!"

"Blood?!" Yu Qingyan covered her lips, looked at Bai Xiaoyue in horror, and asked in a panic, "What does that mean?"

Bai Xiaoyue's face was also very ugly at this time, he asked Ye Weiyang behind him, "Do you feel popular?"

"No!" Ye Weiyang replied in a deep voice, "There is no sound, no breath."

Lu Junliu carefully pushed the courtyard door, only to find that the courtyard door was ajar, crumbling, and it was blown by the wind, making a creaking sound, once, again,...

Feng Yuli held Yu Qingyan's cold little hand, and said with concern: "Qingyan, you better not go in!"

Yu Qingyan's face turned pale, it was really ugly.She took a few deep breaths, held Feng Yuli's hand behind her back, showing a firm expression, "If you leave me outside and get caught and killed by an ambush murderer, then what will you do!"

There was cold sweat on her palm, and her fingers trembled slightly, but she held his palm firmly and firmly.She wants to advance and retreat with them!

"Things are worse than I thought!"

Bai Xiaoyue pursed her lips, and said to Lu Junliu who was the closest to the courtyard gate, "Go in and have a look!"

"Ok!"

Lu Junliu responded, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked in first.

The front yard is clean and tidy, except for the branches and leaves that were recently knocked down by the wind and rain, there is no other abnormality, just like the courtyard of ordinary people, quiet and elegant.

In the hall, several memorial tablets came into view.

The tablet is not enshrined in the ancestral hall or backyard like ordinary families, but directly in the hall, which seems to be done deliberately, to remind future generations to be vigilant.

Lv Junliu's eyes quickly swept across several tablets, and told the people behind him, "These tablets are dedicated to the ancestors of the Xuan family, there is a tablet for grandmother Xiao Mengli, and a tablet for grandfather Xuanying,... Ha! This The tablet should belong to Xuan Dieying's older sister! It's only at the age of death!"

Bai Xiaoyue asked: "Is there anything strange?"

Lu Junliu shook her head, "No!"

"Let's go to the backyard and see!"

Before reaching the backyard, there was already a strong smell of blood.Everyone looked at each other with dignified and deep eyes, tightly holding the weapons in their hands, and cautiously approached the backyard.

Turning over the covered bridge, they saw dozens of family servants lying in disorder in the yard.Lu Junliu approached and opened the dead body of a domestic servant to check. There was no painful struggle on the servant's face, and there was no sign of a fight. It was as calm as if he had fallen asleep. The red mark on the neck was clearly visible, like a magnificent line of blood. , cut the carotid artery, sprayed blood, was washed by the rain, and dyed the whole yard red.

Lu Junliu first sniffed her breath, then felt her pulse, and finally squeezed her muscles to check the stiffness of the corpse, and told the people behind her, "I've been dead for at least three days."

Bai Xiaoyue frowned and muttered to herself, "Three days...couldn't it be the day we went out?!"

Pei Yekai knelt down beside the corpses, carefully inspected the corpses of each domestic servant, and then opened the palms of these people to check, he said: "Killed with one blow! The dead have no room to resist! Look at the palms of these people, the tiger's thumb There are cocoons, so they should all be Lianjiazi. There are dozens of people here, but I didn't expect that none of them could react! Such a fast sword technique!"

"Are you sure it's a sword?"

Before Pei Yekai could answer, Feng Yuli said with a solemn expression: "The killer is so powerful in martial arts, all of them can seal their throats with a sword, they must be professional killers!"

"Dark Evil Palace!" Yu Qingyan's inquiring gaze immediately turned to Ye Weiyang.

Ye Weiyang carefully inspected the wound, and said in a deep voice: "With such a fast sword technique, dozens of people died in an instant. If it was really done by the Dark Evil Palace, then the murderer must be the deputy head of each branch hall. It is possible for people above the level to have such advanced martial arts."

Bai Xiaoyue asked in a deep voice: "Sword skills, or martial arts?"

Ye Weiyang thought for a while, and immediately replied: "Sword skills are better than martial arts!"

Feng Yuli said: "If I had such martial arts, I would choose an easier way to kill people. However, some people kill people for the pleasure of killing, it's hard to judge."

Bai Xiaoyue said: "If you want to enjoy the fun, then you should choose more cruel means, not kill with one sword. Killed with one sword, the victim will not feel any pain at all, and the murderer will not be able to enjoy the pain of killing and cruelty." pleasure."

Feng Yuli was puzzled, "Yue, what do you mean?"

"This sword is not an ordinary sword." Lv Junliu said suddenly, "Look at this wound, it is very thin, even thinner than the edge of an ordinary sword, unless it is specially made..."

"Is it really a sword?" Bai Xiaoyue repeated the question just now, "A master uses a sword, deep into the sword, the middle is gentle, and finally exhausted, the direction of the muscle split should be in the direction of the force, right?"

"good……"

Lu Junliu frowned, observed carefully again without saying a word, and said in surprise: "Indeed! It's exactly as you said! This is definitely not an ordinary sword wound! Because every wound is neatly balanced. , as if..."

"One plane!"

"Yes! The same force application plane!" Lu Junliu was surprised, "However, how is this possible..."

"Nothing is impossible!" Bai Xiaoyue gestured at the trend of the wound, pointing to the position of each corpse, and said, "If it is a steel wire, think about it, from this position to this position, across it, cut off the neck Artery, one blow kills, what do you think it can do?"

"Steel wire... that requires quite advanced internal strength to achieve this effect!" Feng Yuli asked in surprise, "Is there such a master in the Dark Evil Palace?"

Ye Weiyang pondered, shook her head, "No!"

Yu Qingyan suddenly said: "There are only the corpses of the servants here, and I haven't seen the corpses of Xuan Dieying, nor the corpses of Xuan Dieying's parents. Are they still alive?"

"We haven't checked the yard yet..."

"what--"

Before Lu Junliu finished speaking, Lan Lingyu's heart-pounding scream came from a distance.Everyone's face changed drastically when they heard the words, and they immediately ran towards the direction of Lan Lingyu's voice.I saw Lan Lingyu standing at the door of the woodshed, her face pale, pointing at the woodshed tremblingly, she couldn't believe it.

"Little Lanzi, what's wrong with you..."

Yu Qingyan stepped forward curiously, but before reaching the door of the firewood room, she was pushed back by Lvjun Liu.Lu Junliu stood beside Lan Lingyu, stared at Chai Fang with a serious expression, and said to Yu Qingyan, "You'd better not come here."

"Huh? Why..."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to eat for a month after seeing it!"

"what?"

Before Yu Qingyan could react, she saw Feng Yuli, who had just walked to the door of the firewood room and squinted, suddenly ran to a corner of the yard, leaning on the wall, retching again and again.While vomiting, he patted his chest, as if wishing he could vomit out all the food he ate, which surprised Yu Qingyan.

With just one glance, Pei Yekai covered his mouth and backed away again and again, his eyes widened, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, and he was terrified and unbelievable.

Ye Weiyang's expression was solemn and cold, and Xiao Sha's breath became more and more calm.He stared coldly at everything in the woodshed, his fingers curled up by his side and clenched into fists, his knuckles turned white, as if he was trying to restrain himself.

The last person to look was Bai Xiaoyue.With a quick glance, his face was rarely as pale as paper.Stomach turned upside down, and I couldn't help but feel nauseous.He pushed Yu Qingyan who was still looking curiously, and sighed deeply, "Don't look! Xuan Dieying is dead!"

"Huh? Why..."

Yu Qingyan was surprised and didn't react for a while.

Taking a deep breath, trying to calm down the ups and downs like a stormy sea, Bai Xiaoyue told her, "Because inside are the corpses of Xuan Dieying and the rest of the Xuan family."
