"So, where will the child's identity card be?" Ning Shuyan adjusted her emotions and refocused her attention on the most important things.
They have to find the cause of the child's death before they can get the snake vulture back.
This was exactly the question that Hua Ruxue was puzzled by. In the images she saw, the villagers were immersed in their own lives, and no villager even mentioned the child.
That child seemed to be an unspeakable taboo in the hearts of the villagers.
If she were a villager in Yanmiao Village, knowing that the child had a close relationship with the ascended power, not to mention wanting to have a good relationship with him, she would definitely keep warm from the cold every day. If the child is in a good mood, he might give her some of the magic weapons and elixirs left by his predecessors.
To put it bluntly, even if the villagers don't care about cultivation, there is no reason to turn a blind eye to a sixteen-year-old child.
She felt that it was very possible that the child ran out of the village on his own and encountered something unexpected.
At this moment, Su Yi said calmly: "The murderer is a woman named Yu Yan."
Jade smoke? Hua Ruxue tilted her head slightly. Isn't this name... Mu Yan's sister?
Hua Ruxue was immediately stunned. What had she done to the illusion? She had been paying attention to Mu Yan and did not notice anything unusual about Yu Yan.
After all, judging from what happened in the fantasy, Yuyan left the village that night and was most likely abducted to the Lingyin Underground Palace. She did not appear within the scope of Yanmiao Village on the day of Shuiyuejing's attack, or she was dead, so she did not enter the illusion.
"Who is Yuyan?" Ning Shuyan was very unfamiliar with this name. She unfolded the illusion she had just seen, trying to find information related to Yuyan.
Seeing Ning Shuyan's earnest pursuit of knowledge, Hua Ruxue unfolded Mu Yan's fantasy in front of the three of them, and switched the scene to the scene where Mu Yan opened the gray cloth in the village chief's house.
She pointed to the last name on the gray cloth and said, "The last name on this is Yuyan."
Ning Shuyan tapped the names densely embroidered on the back of the gray cloth and suddenly felt a chill. "This is clearly a death list. I didn't expect that the village chief, who seemed so amiable, turned out to be such a person behind his back."
Moreover, this piece of gray cloth has always been placed in the most conspicuous place in the village chief's house.
Hua Ruxue let the illusion continue, and while watching Yu Yan's performance, she asked Su Yi:
"Why is Yuyan said to be the murderer? Although she knew the secret of Lingyin Underground Palace and planned to leave, she was also targeted by the village chief and had no chance to take action."
"Yu Yan knows the secret of the Lingyin Underground Palace? Does he know that the village chief is a traitor, and does he know that the village chief uses villagers to induce the birth of Lingyin grass?" Ning Shuyan was even more surprised when she heard this. She also saw Yuyan in the illusion, but she only knew that Yuyan suddenly disappeared in the village after nightfall, and found no other abnormalities.
Hua Ruxue clarified the cause and effect sequence of the incident, "Yu Yan learned the secret of Lingyin Underground Palace based on the clues left by other villagers. It was precisely because Yu Yan discovered the secret of Lingyin Underground Palace that he planned to leave the village. , so he was targeted by the village chief."
Hua Ruxue considered that Yu Yan had already made preparations to escape from Yanmiao Village, and was under the supervision of the village chief, so she determined that Yu Yan was not the murderer.
But Su Yi was so sure that Yu Yan was the murderer that she must have discovered some news that she hadn't noticed.
She said: "The senior looked at these image stones repeatedly but could not find the murderer. I originally thought the child's death was just an accident."
If the death is accidental, there is no murderer.
"The scene in the fantasy only shows the day when the child died, but the murderer did not commit the crime on that day."
In other words: it is not a same-day killing!
Hua Ruxue suddenly realized that she had missed this point. If the murderer was not at the scene of the crime on the day of the child's death, then all the villagers might have committed the crime!
Therefore, even if the senior asked all the villagers in Yanmiao Village to go back to the day when the child died, he would not be able to find the murderer among them.
Su Yi controlled the image and turned the scene to the scene where sisters Mu Yan and Yu Yan were sorting dried flowers.
Yuyan put the dried wild chrysanthemums into multiple purses, and finally she took out the workmanship
The most delicate purse was made. He poured out the wild chrysanthemums inside, specially put a few sun-dried fine pink lotus flowers with completely different flower shapes into the purse, and told Mu Yan:
"This purse is for the village chief, don't take it by mistake."
"Why are the purses given to the village chief different?" Mu Yan asked.
Yu Yan didn't say much, but repeatedly told Mu Yan: "This is what the village chief deserves."
The pink lotus is also called dahlia or dahlia. Its flower shapes are ever-changing, capricious, and different in color, giving people an elusive and indeterminate feeling.
"Yuyan gave this flower to the village chief instead of wild chrysanthemums to express that the village chief betrayed them." Su Yi explained, pointing to several other fine pink lotus flowers of different shapes on the table.
It's a pity that Mu Yan failed to understand the meaning of Yu Yan's replacement of Ye Ju.
Mu Yan in the image stone happily took the purse and said, "Sister has prepared so many kinds of dahlias. There must be something the village chief likes among them, and it has to be my sister. I will be like her next time!"
Ning Shuyan looked at Mu Yan in the image stone without saying a word, and began to reflect on herself. The dahlia and the small wild chrysanthemum were not changed to highlight the uniqueness of the village chief and to express respect for the village chief. It’s no wonder that she looked at them many times and didn’t notice them.
"Then sister, do you want to leave the village?" Mu Yan put her purse away and looked at Yu Yan expectantly.
Yu Yan looked at the shadow on the ground in silence, a fierce look flashed in her lowered eyes, and she said after a long time: "The time has come, you go quickly."
Mu Yan glanced at the bright sun above her head and muttered: "I am going to deliver the purse at this hour. Can the village chief be there?"
Although Mu Yan was complaining like this, she walked out of the house sincerely. When she left, she picked up the sack hanging in the yard. There was a snake bag in the sack, and there was a hundred-step snake in the snake bag.
"Sister, this snake has been scented with medicine for a day and a night. It should be completely fainted. I will take it to Uncle Li to make medicine together!"
Hua Ruxue followed Su Yi's gaze and took a closer look at the sack containing the hundred-step snake.
This sack and the snake inside were exactly the snake that bit villager Uncle Li in the first illusion that Hua Ruxue checked. That night, the villager got an eighth-level antidote from the village chief after being poisoned by the snake. Dan.
Judging from the state in which Uncle Li opened the snake bag at that time, the hundred-step snake was very aggressive and full of energy. It was not like Mu Yan said that it fell into a coma after being scented with medicine.
This Hundred-Step Snake has not been scented with medicine for enough time. If an ordinary person is bitten by this snake, the wound will bleed. If he does not take a hundred steps, he will be poisoned and die.
For a monk in the Qi training period, it would probably be very difficult if he didn't take the antidote for a whole day.
Could this snake be the direct cause of the child's death?
After Mu Yan left, Yu Yan opened a locked cabinet, took out the wine and cakes that had been prepared, put them into the basket, and then walked towards the tomb in the west of the village.
There is the tomb of the villagers of Yanmiao Village. The names of seventy-three people are engraved in large characters on the tombstone. There is also a list of newly engraved names at the end. The handwriting is neat and graceful. It is different from the strong and powerful characters in front. At first glance, it is not from the same name. human hand.
The jade smokers put cakes and wine on the table, and then lit the white paper on fire in the open space in front of the tombstone.
The moment the flames approached, orange writing appeared on the blank paper. The writing was beautiful and neat, no different from the last writing on the tombstone. Then it slowly turned black and was swallowed by the flames and turned into ashes.
After burning the white paper, Yuyan threw a piece of ordinary white cotton cloth into the flames and burned it. The cotton cloth seemed to be embroidered with two words in silver thread. After the cloth was burned, only the silver thread was left on the ground.
After doing all this, Yu Yan kowtowed to the tombstone four times and poured the wine in front of the tombstone. Her eyes were full of the joy of having a great revenge.
Su Yi rewinds the scene to the moment when the blank white paper comes into contact with the flames. Part of the yellowed writing on the white paper is clearly visible. Only when the paper is completely burned can the complete content on the paper be fully confirmed:
"Today, the man-made disaster in Yanmiao Village that lasted for thirteen years has come to an end. Yuyan is here to inform you all to comfort your souls in heaven!
Jade smoke is unfilial, until a few days ago
Seeing clearly the true face of that dog thief, he colluded with foreigners to massacre my people, he is so cruel and vicious, even if I cut him to pieces, I would still be filled with hatred.
However, Yuyan could not bring the thief to you personally, nor could he make what he had done public. He could only keep the clan members in the dark, just to save their lives.
The remaining tribesmen in the village were dwindling day by day. Yuyan could not sit back and watch, and had no choice but to do things that went against everyone's teachings.
But Yuyan has no regrets, she stains her hands with blood, and will fall forever. I will also end this man-made disaster and use my humble body to find a way out for them!
This piece of clothing was taken from the culprit to prove that Yuyan ended the disaster. If Yuyan is lucky enough to escape, the truth about Lingyin Underground Palace will be revealed to the world! "
After reading the above content, Hua Ruxue and Ning Shuyan both understood that the "culprit" in Yu Yan's mouth was the grandson of their predecessor.
The Immortality Pill was created because of the grandson of that senior, which led to the Lingyin Grass, the ability to seize the living soul, and the disasters suffered by Yanmiao Village.
Yu Yan is not strong enough to take action against the village chief, so she can only target the grandson of her senior.
As long as the child is gone, the village chief will suffer the wrath of his predecessors, and may stop refining the elixir of longevity, and the remaining villagers will naturally survive.
"Yuyan killed the child. Although the village chief was punished for this and was trapped in the water moon mirror and unable to leave the illusion, Yanmiao Village also ceased to exist."
Ning Shuyan lamented that she felt very complicated at the moment. Was it worth sacrificing so many people for an immortality pill that she didn't know when she would be able to live forever?
Except for the senior who had ascended, everyone in Yanmiao Village died.
Maybe that child has never done anything harmful to nature and is very innocent, but since he has received the blessing of his predecessors, the favor of the villagers of Yanmiao Village, and the cause of the Immortality Pill, he must bear the consequences.
