With the seven-color divine pearl, I dominate the three realms!

But Yan Gai and the others, after hearing the old man's words, their expressions became more confused, and they all looked at the old man.

The old man stood up from his seat and paced back and forth.

"The origin of this poison can be traced back to two hundred years ago. At that time, there was an elder named Yinshan among the Xuanling tribe. He was a person who liked making poisons very much. One time he inadvertently , made this poison. The strange thing is that this poison can only be used on the Xuanling tribe. So the elder Yinshan had the idea of ​​usurping the throne, and wanted to use this poison to control King Zhuoli in order to achieve his own ambitions. "

When the old man said this, he sighed again. "It's a pity that things were revealed later and he was sentenced to be burned at the stake."

"Then why is this poison on Qingzhu again?" Bai Ze asked.

"This is exactly what I don't understand. Since the death of Elder Yinshan, this cold-yin poison has been lost. Logically speaking, it shouldn't appear in her body."

The old man frowned and looked puzzled.

"Now that the matter is over, I think everyone should stop worrying about this matter."

Mei Da saw that several of them had been thinking about this matter, so he had no choice but to offer words of comfort.

The old man nodded. "When you go back, girl, you should pay more attention to the people around you."

Qingzhu frowned, raised her head and wanted to say something, but in the end she just pursed her lips and endured the words.

"Thank you, old man, for your help twice! I'm very grateful. If..."

The old man waved his hand and interrupted what Yan Gai was saying.

"It's just a trivial matter, don't worry about it. We are both from Shenwu Continent, and it is fate that we can meet on Taiji Continent today!"

"That's right! This is all determined by fate." Bai Ze said with a smile.

"By the way, haven't you asked the elder about your surname?" Bai Ze added.

"Xia Xuanmu!" The old man said his name calmly.

"Xuanmu! Are you the elder Xuanmu of our Xuanling tribe?"

Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked at the old man with surprise.

Xuanmu looked slightly startled. "You know me?"

"I heard Uncle Xuan Yin talking about you. I didn't expect to meet you here! What a coincidence!"

Qingzhu looked excited.

Xuanmu's face was startled again. "Junior Brother Xuanyin! He has returned to the Xuanling Clan! When did he go back?"

"Not long ago..."

Then, Qingzhu told Xuanmu the whole story of Xuan Yin's rebellion against Haotian.

Xuanmu's face suddenly shook. He only guessed that Qingzhu was from the Xuanling tribe, but he didn't guess that she was actually the princess of the Xuanling tribe. He hurriedly bowed to the green candle and said:

"It turns out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess! I'm sorry for my blindness, but I didn't recognize her."

Qingzhu hurriedly helped him up! He said with excitement:

"It's not your fault! It was all an accident. You saved me twice, and I have to thank you! Uncle Xuanmu!"

Xuanmu looked a little panicked. "Don't dare! I am a guilty person. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for the princess to address my subordinates like this!"

"A guilty person? Did you commit a crime and escape?" Bai Ze asked.

Xuanmu lowered his head and sighed.

"Back then, the old man and his two junior brothers wanted to avoid being chased by their enemies and did not want to implicate the clan. So the three of us secretly escaped. This was a crime of neglecting one's duties and not telling the truth. According to the Xuanling clan rules, one must be punished. .”

"Don't worry! My sister said that she has forgiven the sins of the three of you. She also said that when you return, you will continue to serve as the original elders."

Qingzhu had a smile on his face.

Xuanmu's face was suddenly shocked. "What did she really say?"

"Of course! I don't dare to lie." Qingzhu said with a smile on his face.

Xuanmu's eyelids twitched violently, and the corners of his mouth trembled involuntarily.

"Good! Good!"

It could be seen that he was very excited and happy inside.

Yan Gai and everyone were also happy for him.

"I have been wandering outside for so long, and I have always been thinking about my clan members. I have long wanted to go back." Xuanmu said excitedly.

"As long as you want, you can go back at any time." Qingzhu said with a smile.

Xuanmu nodded vigorously, feeling very happy when he thought that he would be able to go back soon.

"By the way! I wonder why the princess came here?"

Qingzhu told him the reason for the three people's trip, and Xuanmu pondered for a moment.

"Since the princess is going to Yufeng Mountain, my subordinates are willing to escort her there."

"No need! With the protection of Brother Yange and Brother Bai, I will not be in danger. Uncle Xuanmu has been wandering away for many years, so he should go back and take a look early, and by the way, tell my sister that I am safe so that she can rest assured!"

Qingzhu replied.

"this...!"

Xuanmu was a little embarrassed. Although he wanted to go back, he even wished he could leave now. But leaving like this made him feel bad.

Yan Gai saw what he was thinking and smiled at him.

"Don't worry! As long as I'm here, Qingzhu will be fine."

Xuanmu nodded. "All right!"

"It's getting late! You should go to bed early. We will continue our journey tomorrow morning."

Seeing that it was getting late, Mei Da stood up and said to everyone.

Everyone nodded, stood up and said goodbye, then returned to their rooms to rest.

As the night progressed, the lobby of the inn returned to its original quietness.

After running around for a day, everyone was very tired and quickly fell asleep.

In the early morning, the sun slowly poked its head out of the sky.

Wisps of gentle sunshine penetrated the clouds and shone on the east wall of the post house.

In the lobby, Yan Gai and everyone else were standing there, talking. Suddenly Mei Shi ran in in a panic from outside the door.

"Brother! Those two poisonous women are dead."

When Mei Da, Yan Gai and others heard Mei Shi's words, their expressions were startled.

"Dead? How did you die?" Mei Da looked surprised and stared at Mei Shi in confusion.

"I don't know. When I opened the door and went in, I saw the two of them sitting on the ground. I thought they were not awake, but when I got closer and saw that they were dead," Mei Shi said.

When everyone heard this, they hurried out of the lobby and walked to the back room.

Sure enough, the Qin sisters were sitting on the ground with their eyes closed. At first glance, I really thought they were closing their eyes and regulating their breath, but when I checked their noses with my hands, they found that they were no longer breathing.

Xuanmu circled around the two bodies and observed them carefully.

"It's okay to die! Venomous women like them will be a disaster if they are left alive."

Mei Er looked unconcerned, even happy.

Bai Ze next to him smiled. "That's true! It's just the two of them, how could they die so strangely?"

"Maybe their conscience found out and they were so ashamed that they committed suicide!" Mei Ba took over the words.

Xuanmu shook his head. "They did not commit suicide, they were poisoned to death."

Everyone looked stunned.

"Poison! Then Mrs. Qin is a master of poison, how could she be poisoned to death?" Mei Da asked puzzled.

Xuanmu frowned and said nothing, and he was also confused in his heart. Although he was a master of detoxification and could tell that the two of her were poisoned to death, he didn't know what kind of poison they were poisoned with.

"Could it be one of us who did it?" Bai Ze asked suspiciously.

When everyone heard Bai Ze's words, they first looked at him together, and then turned to look at each other.

"This is impossible! We are not good at using poison." Mei Da explained.

Yan Gai lowered his head and pondered for a moment. "It seems that the murderer is someone else."

"But except for a few of us, there is no one else here!"

Qingzhu looked at Yan Gai and replied.

Yan Ji nodded. "It seems like there are only a few of us, but the murderer is hiding in the dark."

"No way! I didn't meet anyone else on the way here yesterday. Could it be that the murderer has been there all along..."

When Mei Ba said this, he suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.

"Where are the bodies of Lao Zhang and those other people yesterday?" Mei Da suddenly asked.

"They are all buried outside the stable wall." Mei Er replied.

Mei Da didn't say anything, but just glanced at Mei Er, who immediately understood the meaning and walked straight out of the wall.

After a while, Mei Er ran back panting.

"I don't know when a tomb was opened, and the body inside was missing." Mei Er gasped.

"Is it the corpse causing trouble?" Mei Shi looked terrified.

"Haha! How can a dead body cause trouble? Brother Ten, you are here again!" Mei Twelve couldn't help laughing.

Mei Shi rolled her eyes at her twelfth brother. "Why else would the body be missing?"

Mei Da glanced at the two little brothers, turned to Yan Gai and the others and said:

"That person must have come back to life again and came back to take revenge and poison the Qin sisters."

Yan Ji nodded.

"It seems that this person just wanted revenge. After killing her two, he was afraid that I would hold him accountable, so he left quietly. Oh, forget it! They both deserved it."

Everyone shook their heads and sighed.

The Mei brothers carried the Qin sisters' bodies outside the wall and buried them.
