"Nothing to do today, Junior Brother can act freely, or take a good rest in the room." Ouyang Qing whispered beside him.
"If Junior Brother finds anything about Shi Lei, please inform us as soon as possible." Kong Yuhui let go of the man, and said to Lin Xin helplessly.
"Okay brother." Lin Xin nodded. He glanced at the young man being interrogated.
This person was in his early twenties, about the same age as him, and he probably didn't know about the tragedy in this town 30 years ago, after all, he wasn't born yet.
It's just that there is an inexplicable meaning in this person's eyes, it seems that he didn't come back purely for sacrifice.
After Kong Yuhui finished asking, Ouyang Qing also started to question this person.
Lin Xin stood for a while listening to the two men's inquiries, and learned that the man's name was Song Zhen, and he was the owner of a bookstore in a nearby town. This time, he came with the rich businessman from the Song Dynasty who hired Jin Yuzong and his party. Usually, he would come here every time, and then he would go home quickly. He would never stay here overnight.
Seeing that he couldn't hear anything, Lin Xin went into the carriage to look for water. The huge bucket was refilled with water, but it was still warm, obviously brought from nearby.
I remember Ouyang Qing mentioned that there seemed to be a spring nearby, maybe it was hot spring water.
Without thinking too much, Lin Xin quickly took a basin of water and brought it back.
Kong Yuhui was still interrogating that Song Zhen when he left, but in Lin Xin's view, this guy was just putting on a show, and he killed all the Shi family brothers to condense the blood, and his acting skills were good at this time.
It's just that I didn't see Jin Yuzong's group, and I don't know where they went, but there was no movement at all.
In the next two days, nothing happened. Shi Lei seemed to be missing. No matter what he did, he couldn't find him. Lin Xin simply kept going with Jiang Yueer and Cheng Ruofei. The three of them were almost inseparable. He didn't go to absorb the red mist at night. Instead, concentrate on resting in the room.
Finally, the day for the Yinblood Bird to appear has arrived.
evening
Most of the sky has turned blue-black, only the sky is still inlaid with a colorful border of red and yellow.
Lin Xin lowered his head slowly and looked away.
He was standing in the small courtyard where Cheng Ruofei and Jiang Yueer were practicing with swords in the middle of the courtyard. The skirts of two figures, one green and one white, fluttered and moved around, which was very pleasing to the eye.
But there was obviously a feeling of uneasiness on the faces of the two of them, and the swordsmanship also made Wei Wei a little soft.
"Why can't I hear any sound at all? Didn't you say that you are hunting the Yinblood Bird today?" Cheng Ruofei retracted her sword and stood upright, looking towards the stone arch in the courtyard with some doubts.
"Someone should come to inform us. Could it be...?"
"Sister Ruofei, I don't believe that brother would treat us like this... He doesn't look like that kind of person."
Jiang Yue'er bit her lip and said in a low voice.
"Some people look different from the inside." Cheng Ruofei sighed and said in a low voice.
While the two were talking, Lin Xin frowned slightly, as if he heard something vaguely.
"Let's go, the task must be completed, and it will be really troublesome if everyone can't kill a Yinblood bird." Cheng Ruofei thought for a while, "As long as we stay in a crowded place, Kong Yuhui must not dare to do anything to us Sample!"
"Sister Ruofei, I don't believe Brother Kong is that kind of person, please don't say such things in the future." Jiang Yue'er frowned, looking unhappy. "I know him well. He is gentle and polite. He looks indifferent on the surface, but he is actually a very gentle person in his heart."
Cheng Ruofei felt helpless.
"No matter what, let's go to the cemetery first."
"All right... "
Lin Xin also nodded.
The three of them quickly went back to the room to pack up their things, and together they cleared the yard. When they walked through the corridor, Lin Xin said suddenly.
"Go to the cemetery first, there are probably people waiting there." He said casually. "I forgot to bring something, go back and get it."
He made a look of suddenly remembering something.
"Go and come back quickly, we will wait for you while walking slowly." Cheng Ruofei nodded.
"Leave him alone, let's go first, otherwise we'll be in trouble if the Yin-Blood Bird is gone!" Jiang Yue'er seemed to have returned to her original self, obviously not believing that Kong Yuhui would harm them at all.
"But..." Cheng Ruofei hesitated.
"Let's go." Jiang Yue'er urged.
"Go, you go first. I'll follow right away." Lin Xin followed suit. He had other arrangements, so naturally he didn't want to be with the two of them.
"Oh well... ."
Cheng Ruofei could only nod.
Lin Xin held down the hilt of his sword, turned around and walked towards the way he came, just about to pass through the arch. Suddenly a clanging sound came from not far away.
He paused and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.
"It's the sound of weapons clashing." Cheng Ruofei and the two hadn't gone far, and turned around quickly.
The three exchanged glances.
"I'll go and have a look! You guys hide first and wait for me to come back."
Lin Xin's eyes flickered, and he suggested.
"No, the three of us are safer together." Cheng Ruofei shook his head.
"All right... "
"Could it be that Brother Kong and the others had an accident?" Jiang Yue'er also became nervous.
Without talking nonsense, the three of them hurried towards the direction of the sound, walked through the corridor, turned left into a small door, and passed through an empty house.
The house was gloomy, and there was a bronze statue in the middle, which seemed to be a solemn and slender middle-aged man.
At the left corner of the yard, there is a small round arched door. There seems to be a person standing at the door, with their backs to three people leaning against the wall.
"This teacher..." Jiang Yue'er opened her mouth to call out, but Cheng Ruofei, who was immediately alerted, covered her mouth.
Cheng Ruofei looked solemn, looked at the puzzled Jiang Yueer, and pointed to the clothes on the man's back.
Jiang Yue'er took a closer look, and was shocked to find that there was a large pool of blood stained red on the edge of the man's clothes. And the posture of that person leaning against the wall is also very distorted, it seems that there is no bone at all, and it is soft.
Cheng Ruofei winked at Lin Xin.
The two slowly approached the man together.
Until the tentacles could touch the man's back, the man didn't respond at all.
The two already had a premonition, walked into the small door, and saw that this person was a disciple of Jin Yuzong who had just arrived earlier. He was wearing the white golden moon Taoist robe of Jin Yuzong. The golden moon mark on his chest has been stained red with blood.
Jiang Yue'er, who followed behind, covered her mouth, looking at this male disciple of the Jin Yuzong who died with regret, her forehead was already stained with sweat again.
Lin Xin's expression moved slightly, as if he heard a voice in front of him.
"Someone is talking up front."
he whispered.
Cheng Ruofei also heard what seemed to be Kong Yuhui's voice.
She winked at Lin Xin, and took the lead in pulling Jiang Yue'er to move cautiously in the direction of the sound.
Lin Xin glanced at her back, tightened the hilt of his sword, and followed her slowly.
The two girls were in front, and he was behind. They walked forward along the aisle of the small door, and the voice gradually became clearer. There were also several corpses lying on the ground, including Jin Yuzong's and ordinary people they brought.
The three of them were about to reach the end of the aisle, where there was the same stone arch, which seemed to lead to a garden, with overgrown weeds beside the door, and there seemed to be rectangular white stone flower beds.
ah!
Suddenly there was another scream from the front, which seemed to be someone's dying struggle.
The two girls trembled, but they heard someone talking again.
"As expected of a pious Senior Brother Zhou... who watched the Junior Brother being killed, and was actually indifferent." It was Kong Yuhui's voice.
"You're still ruthless enough to dare to come here alone and secretly poison you. You even used the priceless incense. You must have made a plan before you set off at the beginning?" Zhou Jing's voice was calm. came. There seemed to be no mood swings.
"Brother, thank you." Kong Yuhui's tone showed a trace of complacency. "You let me kill all the brothers and sisters of the Jin Yuzong, isn't it also for the sake of Yin Xue? By using other people's hands to intentionally kill people from your own sect, you, brother, are not bad."
Zhou Jing sneered.
"Those people in your team must also be the bloody materials you prepared?"
"What do you think?" Kong Yuhui laughed.
At this time, Cheng Ruofei was already numb all over, and turned around to run away, but Jiang Yueer's face was pale, but she firmly grasped her hand.
"I... want to... go and see." She didn't say anything, but said to Cheng Ruofei with her lips.
She was not reconciled, and she didn't believe that senior brother Kong, who had always been very kind to her, and who was indifferent on the outside and gentle on the inside, would have such unbearable vicious thoughts.
She didn't believe it, so she went to see it for herself.
"That person may not be Senior Brother Kong, it must be someone impersonating him!" she murmured.
Looking at her pale face, Cheng Ruofei couldn't help feeling a little distressed, but she couldn't bear to refuse after all.
The two squatted down quietly, relying on the cover of weeds, clinging to the flower bed at the door, and slowly moved forward.
Lin Xin also squatted down behind. Behind the two girls, he could see the situation in the yard through a little gap in the weeds.
In a messy garden, Zhou Jing was standing in the middle, and Kong Yuhui was standing diagonally across from him on the left.
Their faces were blocked, so they couldn't see clearly.
"Soul-absorbing incense can increase the burden of internal energy to promote transportation, affect the circulation of internal energy, and let the inner masters only exert two-thirds of their strength. Although it is not as simple as the poison, it is worse than the concealment." Kong Yuhui smiled lightly. "Senior brother Zhou, who is only two-thirds of his strength, was poisoned by his junior sister. I don't know how he feels now?"
"Mood?" Zhou Jing snorted coldly, "Do you really think you are sure to win?"
"You really think you can get out of this garden?" Kong Yuhui sneered. "My people have surrounded this town inside and out, even a fly can't get out. Not to mention there are people inside to stop it!"
"Stop? It's up to you?" Zhou Jing also sneered, holding a sword in one hand and holding something tightly in the palm of the other, and carried it behind his back.
"Of course I can't be the only one." Kong Yuhui slanted his sword down, pointing at the grass.
Jingle Bell... .
A light sound like a wind chime spread from his sword.
