Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 326 Layout
As the sun was setting, Wang Mang sighed slightly as he looked at the afterglow in Luoyang Baoling Hall.

"Master, this is the news from over there."

Suddenly, Wu Xiang took a note and walked to Wang Mang's side.

Wang Mang turned around: "What news?"

Wu Xiang said: "There is news from Liuzhou that Li Yuanfang and Ruyan have entered Dayang Mountain."

Wang Mang nodded slightly, took the note, and quickly glanced at it.

Suddenly, Wang Mang raised his head: "Teacher and Xiaomei should be ready too!"

Wu Xiang said: "Miss Xiaomei has led our dark night people into the Snake Spirit."

Wang Mang nodded slightly: "I hope everything goes well!"

At this time, Wu Xiang said: "But, we have sent everyone out, what about Luoyang?"

Wang Mang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. By the way, I called you here for this matter. You go and deliver this letter to Jing Kong in Hanguang Temple."

As he spoke, Wang Mang picked up a letter from the table case.

Wu Xiang responded, took the letter and turned to leave.

Looking at Wu Xiang's back, Wang Mang murmured, "It's time to go to Liuzhou."

……

Dayang Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mists, and the clouds and mists are pervasive. The white thick fog drifts with the wind, and the clouds and mists covering the top of the mountain are like white velvet hats worn on the top of the mountain.

The clouds and mist wrapped around the mountainside are like white ribbons tied between the mountains...

There is a temple standing in the middle of the mountain. This is an ancient temple in the middle of the mountain. It is dilapidated and dilapidated.

There are two entrances to the temple, and the incense hall and side rooms in the first entrance have basically collapsed.

In the main hall in the second entrance, there are no doors and windows, and most of the gable walls have collapsed. On the xumizuo in the center of the hall, there is a dilapidated shrine. It can be vaguely seen that the statue of the Lord of the Earth is enshrined.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Li Yuanfang and Ruyan walked into the temple slowly.

There was silence in the temple, only the wind humming.

Li Yuanfang sighed and said, "Xiaomei died here."

Ruyan nodded: "Look, the temple is clean, there are no corpses or bloodstains, it must be after you left that the 'Snake Spirit' sent people to take away the corpses of Xiaomei and those killers. From this we can conclude that The main altar must not be far from here."

Li Yuanfang nodded slightly: "I think so too. However, the vast Dayang Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, where is the main altar?"

Ruyan smiled: "Unexpectedly, the famous General Li also has times of discouragement."

Li Yuanfang also smiled: "It's not that I'm discouraged. Last time, after Xiaomei's death, I searched for traces of the 'snake spirit' alone in Dayang Mountain. I almost turned around the nearby mountains, but I didn't find any clues." .No clue, really don’t know where to start.”

Ruyan comforted: "Don't worry, I'll be with you this time, and you have to find the main altar of the 'Snake Spirit' no matter what."

Li Yuanfang said: "What's the difference between being with you and myself? I can't find it, or I can't find it."

Ruyan jumped up and punched him fiercely: "You really don't know what to do, you come out with you with good intentions, and you still say such things! Then I'm leaving, you can find it yourself!"

With that said, she strode out of the temple.

Li Yuanfang turned around with a smile.

Ruyan stopped in front of the temple gate, turned around and said with a smile, "Aren't you planning to keep me?"

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "What do you want to keep, you won't leave anyway."

Ruyan burst out laughing with a "puchi"; "You know me too. You will know that I am a good person."

As she spoke, she walked up to Li Yuanfang and turned his head away, "Look at me!"

Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

Ruyan said seriously: "Promise me, you will never be discouraged, you must find the main altar of the 'Snake Spirit', and avenge Xiaomei!"

Li Yuanfang said with a straight face: "The only characteristic of me is: I will never be discouraged!"

Ruyan laughed: "This is the person I like."

Li Yuanfang shook his head: "You are like a child. Ruyan, I think so, let's search separately and see if we can find some clues in the temple."

Ruyan nodded: "I search once, you search twice."

Li Yuanfang shook his head: "No, I will search."

Ruyan smiled and said, "Are you afraid that the killer of 'Snake Spirit' will suddenly come in and I won't be able to handle it?"

Li Yuanfang smiled, but did not answer.

Ruyan said mischievously, "Are you concerned about me, or do you not trust me?"

Li Yuanfang said with a smile: "Poor mouth, hurry up and do it!"

Ruyan grabbed him: "No, answer me!"

Li Yuanfang smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I just care about you."

Ruyan looked at him, moved and said: "Thank you."

As she spoke, she hugged Li Yuanfang's head, kissed it lightly, and ran quickly to the second courtyard.

Li Yuanfang smiled and shook his head, observing carefully with a pair of eyes.

Surrounded by broken walls and broken tiles, pieces of wormwood.

Suddenly, something in the wormwood caught his attention.

He walked over quickly, pushed aside the wormwood, and looked intently.

There was a piece of purple silk in the grass, and Li Yuanfang quickly reached out to pick it up.

There was a large blood stain on the silk, which had faded to dark purple due to the long time. Li Yuanfang immediately remembered that Xiaomei was wearing a tight-fitting night gown made of purple silk when she was dying.

Li Yuanfang looked at the purple silk in his hand, the purple silk was of the same texture and color as the tights Xiaomei was wearing.

The edges of the silk are uneven, and it looks like it was torn off by someone.

Li Yuanfang gasped.

Suddenly, a sharp scream came from the second courtyard. Li Yuanfang was startled, jumped up and ran towards the second courtyard.

Ruyan stood dumbfounded facing the gable, her body trembling slightly.

In a flash, Li Yuanfang flew into the hall: "What's wrong?"

Ruyan pointed at the gable wall: "You, look, what is this?"

Li Yuanfang looked intently in the direction of her finger, and saw a snake-shaped mark painted with blood on the wall.

Li Yuanfang was stunned immediately, and looked at Ruyan.

Ruyan tremblingly said: "It's Xiaomei, it's Xiaomei who left behind. But, isn't she already dead?"

Li Yuanfang handed the purple silk in his hand to Ruyan.

Ruyan asked, "What is this?"

Li Yuanfang said: "That night, Xiaomei came to meet me in the temple, and she was wearing this night clothes made of purple silk."

Ruyan was stunned: "You, where did you find it?"

Li Yuanfang said: "In the wormwood bushes as soon as I entered the courtyard. Xiaomei died in front of the courtyard gate. How did the cloth on her body get into the wormwood?"

Ruyan thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked, "Could it be the wind?"

Li Yuanfang shook his head: "Look at the jagged edges of the silk. It looks like it was torn off by hand. Moreover, there are blood stains on the silk. Someone must have torn off Xiaomei's skirt to bandage the wound."

Ruyan was taken aback: "Someone? Who?"

Li Yuanfang looked at the snake-shaped mark on the wall: "What do you think?"

Ruyan took a deep breath: "Could it be, is Xiaomei not dead?"

Li Yuanfang asked: "Apart from you and Xiaomei, do other people know about this snake-shaped mark?"

Ruyan shook her head: "This mark was invented by the two of us, and no outsider will know it!"

Li Yuanfang nodded: "You are right, Xiaomei is not dead. However, she obviously had no pulse at that time, how could..."

Ruyan said: "Maybe, she just fainted temporarily due to excessive bleeding, but you thought she was dead."

Li Yuanfang nodded, and thoughtfully said: "Maybe."

Ruyan said: "If Xiaomei is really not dead, then since she has left a mark, she will definitely come back!"

Li Yuanfang raised his head: "Oh?"

Ruyan said: "Yuanfang, I think we'll stay overnight in the ancient temple to see what's going on."

Li Yuanfang raised his head, at this time the sun was setting and night was falling quietly.
