Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 79 The strange place
PS: I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and family reunion~~~~~!

Unexpectedly, Xue Xuan shook her head and denied it. She glanced at Li Canghai resentfully, and said quietly: "Could it be that in the eyes of the young master, am I the kind of person who is greedy for money and interested in profit? Could it be that I can't come here for the young master?"

What he said was quite ambiguous, Li Canghai was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: Damn, she might fall in love with me!But after thinking about it, he instantly denied the idea.

He had asked Di Qing about Xue Xuan. Xue Xuan was a well-known beauty in the Jianghu world. She had a mysterious origin and unpredictable martial arts. I don't know how many sons of aristocratic families with both civil and martial arts tried their best to win her a smile.

How could such a fairy like him fall in love with a rough man like him?Apart from solving crimes, he has nothing to do!

Li Canghai's mind suddenly turned upside down, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was impossible, he hurriedly stopped his wild thoughts, and said with a smile: "Miss Xue was joking, I'm just a vulgar person, I don't dare to make wild guesses, girl, let's just say it straight .”

Xue Xuan bit her plump red lips, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and said with a slight smile: "Actually, the reason why I followed you is to find out the whereabouts of the 'Gopher Gate' disciples."

"Where are the disciples of the Gopher Sect? Aren't they in Luoyang prison?" Li Canghai asked slightly surprised.

Xue Xuan sighed and said, "I thought so too at first, but later I found out that the disciples of the Gopher Sect who were imprisoned in the prison suddenly disappeared, and even He Xiao disappeared."

"Maybe they left the cell early." Li Canghai guessed.

But Xue Xuan shook her head resolutely, she frowned slightly and said, "If He Xiao escapes from the prison, he will definitely contact me. The strangest thing is that they disappeared on the night we met."

Li Canghai listened carefully, and he also noticed something strange.

On the night of his transaction with Xue Xuan, He Xiao and others disappeared, but why didn't Liang Xiu hear about this matter?
What's more, He Xiao was holding the picture scroll and was guarded as a felon.If he escaped from prison, no one would know about it.

The prisoner escaped from prison, which was a big event, and the prison guards would never dare to conceal it or not report it.

After much deliberation, Li Canghai could only think of two possibilities, either He Xiao bribed the prison guards and escaped, or they were forced out for some reason, and Liang Xiu must have known about it, but kept it a secret down.

According to Xue Xuan's description, the first speculation can be denied, then the remaining possibilities are self-evident.

But why did Liang Xiu hide this matter?Where did He Xiao and the others go?Li Canghai had no clue.

"But what does this have to do with me?" Li Canghai was a little puzzled. Since Xue Xuan was investigating the disappearance of He Xiao and others, how could she follow him to Luofengji?
Xue Xuan took out an amulet from her sleeve, and said, "This is the amulet worn by Lieutenant Mojin. I found it in Di Gong's cemetery."

"Have you been to the Di cemetery?" Li Canghai asked hesitantly.

Xue Xuan shook her head, and said solemnly: "I found this around Di Gong's cemetery, and it didn't go down into the tomb. This talisman is the personal amulet of Captain Mojin. They must have gone down into the tomb."

Li Canghai looked at the talisman over and over, and pondered: "It seems that they are going to find the treasure."

Xue Xuan shook her head, and said solemnly: "He Xiao is a veteran of the gopher sect, and he left this talisman to tell me that they encountered something dangerous."

Li Canghai pondered in his heart, He Xiao and others disappeared for no reason, but ran into the secret passage below Di Gong's cemetery, could it be that they followed the 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' people into the tomb passage?But before entering the tomb, how could He Xiao encounter danger and leave clues?
After thinking about it, Li Canghai suddenly thought of a possibility, and his expression changed instantly.

"What's wrong?" Xue Xuan asked after noticing Li Canghai's expression was abnormal.

Although Li Canghai had some ideas in his mind, they were just guesses. After a little thought, he said, "I think of some possibilities, but there are still many suspicious things in it, and I can't say it yet."

Xue Xuan didn't speak, she looked at Li Canghai and nodded, and said seriously: "I believe my lord, if anyone in this world can solve the mystery of the treasure, it must be you."

Li Canghai smiled. The Gopher Gate and 'Ni Lin Xuan Wu' had already seized the opportunity. Even if it wasn't for the treasure, he would try his best to solve the riddle for the sake of Monk Huiguang who was caught in it.

Touching the treasure map in his bosom, the more Li Canghai thought about it, the more strange he became. Such a strange treasure map is not something that ordinary people can understand, not to mention that he has already unlocked the true meaning of the treasure map.

He doesn't believe that anyone can understand the original messy pattern, this treasure map is a bit like a reminder pattern.

In other words, this is most likely just a clue, not a real treasure map.

The real secret of this treasure map may be to overlap with the handwriting on the stele and highlight the outer radical of the word "Feng".

But what is the meaning of this peripheral radical, he is at a loss.

"Mr. Li, why are you here?" Seeing him lost in thought, Xue Xuan hesitated a few times before asking.

Li Canghai felt that since he had reached a cooperative relationship with her, he should not hide anything, so he told her the ins and outs of the matter.

After hearing this, Xue Xuan fell into deep thought. She knew much more information than Di Qing. After hearing what Li Canghai said, she immediately realized that this was a big whirlpool.

Whether it is the Shushumen or Li Canghai, they are all trapped in this vortex, and it is difficult to break free.

Xue Xuan was surprised at the weirdness of the whole thing, and at the same time was also surprised by Li Canghai's miraculous way of solving the case, from the inconspicuous clues, to finding out the "Nilin Xuanwu" treasure, this kind of wisdom is beyond the reach of the world. It is also difficult to find a second person.

Xue Xuan traveled all over the rivers and lakes and was well-informed. After thinking for a while, she said, "My lord, do you think the treasure map is fake?"

Li Canghai shook his head. He took out two rubbings with the word '鳯' written on them from his pocket, and said in a deep thought: "This map is real, but it should not be a complete treasure map."

Xue Xuan was a little confused, but with Li Canghai's explanation, she quickly understood what he meant.

"If the treasure is really hidden near here, there should be a corresponding legend in Luofeng Ji. Could it be that the young master has not investigated it?" Xue Xuan asked curiously.

Xue Xuan's words seemed to point him to a bright path, which made him suddenly feel enlightened.

He suddenly thought of the forest outside the Luofeng Collection, and the eerie and gloomy Netherworld.

"Whoever has evil intentions, die!"

When the words of the 'ghost' rang in his ears, Li Canghai felt as if he had grasped some key points.

He came here to Luofengji just to find the entrance to the treasure, except for a few people who knew about it, no one else knew about it.
