This time, Shen Xuan was really overthinking. Ruan Xianbei was just not used to wearing this kind of clothes and didn't know where to put things. She also had a habit of thinking that everyone should raise jade, and she was afraid that Shen Xuan would fall out with her if she lost the jade pendant before wearing it. She got a rope and hung it around her neck, and she didn't even look carefully at the small words engraved on it.
Ruan Xianbei stuffed the jade pendant back smoothly and touched his forehead.
Oh, docile, no problem.
Although she still doesn't know why she can't show her true face outside, but from her memory, she has always disguised herself when going out, including Ruan Yan's very serious attitude towards this matter, so her face should be very important. .
Ruan Xianbei smiled brightly at Shen Xuan and pretended not to hear what he asked her: "Thank you, Senior Brother Shen. Shall we go? Don't keep Master Xu waiting."
Shen Xuan refused to change the subject and said slowly: "Your condition is unstable. I have to consider whether letting you participate will affect our next actions."
Ruan Xianbei: ...(an exclamation) You asked me to come at first, but now you don’t want me to come, are you kidding me?
But she could only say: "It was just an accident. If Senior Brother Shen wants to know, I will explain it to you after it's over."
Shen Xuan hummed, and the two of them rushed to Wutai Peak.
Wutai Peak, snow in the north.
Leader Xu saw the two coming from a distance, stepped forward to greet them and asked, "Have you discovered anything?"
"No big discovery." Shen Xuan said, everyone seemed to have an alibi.
"Impossible! Someone must be lying!"
"Indeed, but at the moment we can't tell who is lying, we still need to find evidence. Has Master Xu discovered anything here?"
"Follow me." Headmaster Xu nodded and asked them to walk into the snow.
In this snowy land in the north, there is a mountain on one side and a cliff on the other. Last night, Ruan Xianbei saw figures fighting on the cliff. The further you go, the narrower the road becomes and the deeper the snow becomes. There are trees and naturally formed stones. , if someone is hiding inside at night, it is really difficult to find.
"Snow is the easiest place to cover up traces, and it's also the easiest place to leave traces. Look here, someone has been here before."
"The footprints here are the traces of our visit yesterday." Ruan Xianbei said, pointing to the traces of the two people walking on the ground. Although they were shallow, they were very clear.
Headmaster Xu pointed, and Ruan Xianbei looked at Shen Xuan. Just about ten meters further from where they stayed yesterday, there was a tree under which the snow was obviously different from other places. If you look carefully, you can see Found messy footprints that had been hastily covered up.
"It snowed last night. Maybe it was because it was easy to cover up their whereabouts that they chose this place to meet."
Ruan Xianbei knelt down to take a closer look. Head Xu said: "No need to look, there are footprints of three people. One of them should be my disciple. There are no clues other than that. Judging from the size of the footprints, the other two should be a man and a boy." Female. Who actually communicates with people from the Demon Sect? Could it be that the woman is also a lurking member of the Demon Sect?"
One man and one woman? Could it be a love killing?
Ruan Xianbei and Shen Xuan looked at each other. According to the time of death inferred by Mrs. Qingjun, it was not long after they left. In other words, if she only saw two people fighting, there should be another person at this position at that time.
Ruan Xianbei cursed again in his heart: It's so annoying, the open-mouthed demon sect and the closed-mouthed demon sect. If they had taken action, they would have turned you into corpses so much that you couldn't even find them, and they would have left you here pretending to be Di Renjie to solve the case.
"But I only saw two people fighting yesterday, and they were at the foot of the mountain over there. Master Xu, did Brother Guan have any grudges with anyone? Or was it emotional?" Ruan Xianbei asked.
"No. Qiao'er is an upright person and has been concentrating on cultivation."
Okay, Ruan Xianbei looked at the stubborn old man's appearance in the head of Xu and felt that even if Guan Qiao had any emotional problems, he wouldn't know about it.
"Since Master Xu has already investigated, let's go to the place where we found Brother Guan's accident." Shen Xuan said.
The two of them were talking about leaving here and going down the mountain to take another look at the place where Guan Qiao was found dead. At this time, Ruan Xianbei let out an exclamation.
"Senior Brother Shen, come and see here!"
The edge was blocked by a half-sized stone. When the stone was removed, one could see the fingerprints of four fingers left on the edge of the cliff, as well as a little burn mark.
Not knowing whose fingerprint it was, Master Xu stood there without speaking for a long time.
Ruan Xianbei thought for a while and suggested: "How about we go down directly from this position."
"That's fine."
Looking down to a depth of only ten to twenty feet, Ruan Xianbei used the strength of the rock wall to walk down.
The same is true for Master Xu.
The two of them landed on the ground without slowing down. Ruan Xianbei covered her face that was stiffened by the wind. The wind in this vent was so strong that she couldn't even open her eyes. She could feel her own pain through her face. My face hurts from being scratched.
She thought angrily that if this kind of thing happened in the church, there would be no need for her to take action personally. When she found the blame dumper, she would give him a good greeting!
Ruan Xianbei didn't see Shen Xuan when he landed. He was about to call his name. What the hell? He slid down and landed on the ground in the blink of an eye. Compared with the effort they put in, it was countless times easier.
"Down here is Baicao Peak, but it's a bit far from the yard where they live." Shen Xuan said.
Headmaster Xu:...
Ruan Xianbei: ...My mother tongue is speechless.
"Shen Xuan, if you have this thing, why don't you show it to us earlier!"
Although Master Xu did not speak, his eyes looking at Shen Xuan were also very speechless.
Shen Xuan gave her a strange look and said, "You didn't ask either. Just go to work, you have to find something."
Okay, okay, let's talk about what you say.
…
After Fang Qiya and Cheng Suisui left the female guest's yard, a woman returned to the room and looked obviously uneasy. She wanted to go out but was afraid of being stared at at this time, so she had to pace back and forth in the room.
Fang Qiya wrote a note and handed it to Cheng Suisui and said, "Suisui, give this to Xue Ya and let it be brought to Senior Brother."
"Xue Ya? Wouldn't it be nice if I went there?"
"No, we don't have enough manpower here. I'm going to watch the competition. You go and keep an eye on someone. Hey, you don't feel safe if you keep an eye on me yourself. Ask your senior brother to bring someone with you."
"Sister, you can decide."
The two of them whispered a few words, and Fang Qiya gave her a few more serious instructions. Seeing that the time was almost up, she had to leave in a hurry.
Cheng Suisui came from Baicao Peak to the yard where Shen Xuan lived in Yunqifeng Peak, blew a whistle and shouted: "Xue Ya, come out to work!"
A snow-white, cute little fox jumped out of nowhere, flew into her arms, and barked twice.
"Good boy Xue Ya, go deliver a message to senior brother." Cheng Suisui tied a small bamboo tube to its chest, patted its back, and took out a fruit from his pocket and gave it to it: "Here, let's run errands fee."
Xue Ya stuck out her pink tongue and licked the back of her hand. After eating the fruit, she puffed up her chest proudly and waggled her two big ears as if to say, "Leave it to me, don't worry."
Cheng Suisui touched its head again. It was so soft and cute!
"Go, go, it's very important. You know, run faster, you know? Xue Ya is the best!"
"Hey!"
Xue Ya gave her a white look and set off, she was so long-winded.
When Shen Xuan saw Xue Ya, she was already at Baicao Peak. Xue Ya rushed over as fast as a gust of wind and jumped directly onto Shen Xuan's shoulders.
"Xue Ya? Why are you here?" Shen Xuan picked it up and took a look, and found the mailbox on its chest.
Ruan Xianbei came over to look at this little thing, stretched out his hand and tapped its forehead. Wow, it's so cute!
Xue Ya looked at her, raised his head and rubbed her hand, wow fairy sister!
Shen Xuan was completely unaware of the psychological activities of this person and the fox, and took off the bamboo tube on its chest.
"There is something wrong with Miao Tong in Wanhua Valley. He is keeping an eye on her. We don't have enough manpower. We can check it out."
Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers? Miao Tong?
"Has Master Xu, Brother Guan, ever known the female disciples of Ten Thousand Flowers Valley?" Shen Xuan asked.
"I don't know." Headmaster Xu shook his head, not knowing what he meant by asking this.
"Master Xu, look at this." Shen Xuan showed him the note sent by Fang Qiya, "Junior Sister Cheng is staring at her, but Junior Sister is not good at learning and wants to invite Master Xu to go with her."
"What are the people in Ten Thousand Flowers Valley to watch? Even ten of them can't beat one of my disciples."
"Master Xu, that man has been refusing to show his face for a long time. This Miao Tong may be the entry point." Ruan Xianbei said, "If Master Xu doesn't go, forget it. The entrance and exit are blocked now. I'm afraid the murderer will be able to leave in a big way tomorrow. ”
"Then why don't you two go?" Headmaster Xu asked.
Ruan Xianbei's voice rose twice when he heard this and said, "Why do you say that? Could it be that Master Xu doesn't want to catch the murderer?"
When Master Xu heard this, he asked anxiously: "It would be great if I could be divided into three! It's not like you juniors are not good at learning. What if you miss the clue?!"
"Master Xu, aren't you still worried about Brother Shen? What good will it do to Cangshan if we can't catch the murderer?"
I don’t know what Master Xu was hesitating about. After thinking about it, he finally said: "I will go, but if you have any situation here, please contact me in time."
"That's natural."
As soon as Master Xu left, Ruan Xianbei found a place to sit down. Xue Ya, who was sitting on Shen Xuan's shoulder, also jumped to the ground, sniffed around her legs and finally jumped into her arms to find a comfortable position. good.
Ruan Xianbei pinched its ears along its fur and said with a smile, "You are so cute."
Xue Ya kept pushing her hand to his head with his nose, and the fairy sister touched it here and there!
Shen Xuan looked at her and asked, "Do you have any clues?"
Ruan Xianbei reached out and put a small white insect in the air into his sleeve, and said back to him: "Don't you have one too? It must be him, but I only have a rough guess, but I don't know the specifics. For example, why he and I The disciples of Wanhua Valley are related, why they killed Guan Qiao, and how they learned the Demon Sect's Tong and Black Devil Palms, these are all mysteries."
"What does the Demon Cult know?" Shen Xuan asked her.
Ruan Xianbei turned his face and looked away, and said, "I was talking about the Black Devil Palm, the martial arts of the Demon Cult. I spoke too quickly."
Fortunately, Shen Xuan didn't dwell too much on this issue and just said, "Really, but I can't find any evidence."
"Evidence? Oh! Wouldn't it be better to let him admit it himself? By the way, why did you send away Master Xu?"
"Because he doesn't believe it."
The rapid conversation between the two was like exchanging blows. Ruan Xianbei laughed out loud when he heard this sentence. Also, if Master Xu is unwilling to point out the real murderer in order to maintain the superficial harmony, then this life can only be attributed to the Demon Cult under his strong guidance. Ridiculous, what false justice.
"What are you laughing at?"
Of course Ruan Xianbei would not tell him what she was laughing at. She said, "In this case, you accompany me to restore the technique. Can we solve this problem tonight?"
"I'll go back and talk to Master."
"Time is gold! Once you go and come back, it's too late! Restore it first! Come on, come on, take out your claws for me to use. How can you go up so high! No way, you can only come down but not go up? Or don’t you know how to use it?”
"Your name is Blood Duck? Or is it Xue Ya? Oh, Xue Ya, come bring this up and find a place to fix it." Ruan Xianbei touched Xue Ya's head and took the flying tiger under Shen Xuan's cold gaze. Claw, handed the hook end to Xue Ya and took the other side into his hand.
Xueya climbed up and fixed the hook, patted it with his paw, turned his head and wagged his tail to indicate that it was OK.
Ruan Xianbei pulled the rope, made sure there was no problem and said to Shen Xuan, "Then I'll go up first!"
Gee, she's so smart. It is much easier to use the power of the rope to step up the cliff and use Qinggong.
After she went up, she was about to throw the rope down to Shen Xuan, but she saw that he was already halfway up the mountain.
Shen Xuan put her hands behind her back, stepping on the rocks here and the branches there. Fengshen looked so handsome and leisurely. Ruan Xianbei and Xue Ya sighed with emotion, "Your master is good-looking but lonely!" After saying that, Xue Ya unanimously agreed, that's all, people always have some shortcomings, senior brother is mighty!
No matter what, at least Shen Xuan agreed to cooperate with her for the time being.
