Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou copied the tricolor eggs and used the old method to incubate these two eggs.

After busying himself for a long time, the sky outside was already bright.

Li Ergou didn't sleep. He went directly outside and began to practice swordsmanship and boxing.

Mei'er was extremely happy to see Li Ergou return and immediately prepared some breakfast for him: large meat buns, millet porridge, and a large glass of goat milk, a new specialty of Orange Mountain.

The milk was produced by the seven second-generation goats, and it was rich, fragrant, and smooth.

In fact, Mei'er had always wondered why Li Ergou didn't develop other breeding industries. Li Ergou's answer was that other things took a long time to raise, had low profits, and high consumption. Where could anything be easier than raising chickens? A squat of the butt and you get money.

Mei'er also felt that this statement made a lot of sense, so she never asked again.

After breakfast, Li Ergou told Mei'er a few words and left, heading straight for the Divine Sword Manor.

As soon as he arrived at the manor, Chen Bajin ran up and asked anxiously, "Ergou, why did you leave for the whole night? I was so worried."

Li Ergou was puzzled and said, "Worried? Worried about what? You're not worried about getting into the armory, are you?"

Chen Bajin whispered, "How can I not be worried? There are so many good things in there. We have to find a way to get in. If we wait for the main force to enter, we won't get anything."

Li Ergou didn't think so and said, "This matter is not that simple. Let's just wait and see."

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped and looked at the manor, his brow slightly furrowed, "Huh, what's going on? The bloody aura here seems to be even stronger."

Chen Bajin immediately said, "Really? Why didn't I feel it?"

Li Ergou nodded and said, "Has Bai Su come over? Let's go find her now."

"She's here. She came before dawn. She's in the square now, looking at that statue. I don't know why."

Li Ergou narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he understood Bai Su's thoughts, and immediately went to the Divine Sword Manor's square.

Arriving at the square, Bai Su stood in white clothes against the wind. The breeze lifted her hair, revealing her beautiful face. However, this face now showed a hint of unspeakable hesitation.

"My lord, what are you thinking about?" Li Ergou quickly walked forward.

Bai Su didn't need to turn her head to recognize Li Ergou's voice.

She opened her red lips slightly and said, "I'm thinking about why this stone statue is placed here. I'm also thinking that since there are demons hidden in this manor, with such obvious demonic aura shrouding it, why can't I find the source of this demonic aura? It's really hateful.

I'm still thinking about what their purpose was in killing all the people in the Divine Sword Manor. Was it just to absorb their flesh and blood? Impossible, absolutely impossible.

I think they annihilated a family so crazily, one for treasure and two for revenge."

After listening to so much, Li Ergou suddenly asked, "My lord, could it be that you have some clues?"

Bai Su then looked at Li Ergou and said, "There is still one person in the Divine Sword Manor who has not been found. This person is the third young master of the Divine Sword Manor. It is rumored that this person has sword bones and is a peerless genius.

Many sects wanted to accept him as a disciple, but for some reason, the manor lord of the Divine Sword Manor did not allow it, but only let him stay in the manor to practice family methods.

It's just a manor, so what if the swordsmanship is great? This is puzzling."

Hearing this, Li Ergou raised his eyebrows and suddenly said, "If what you said is true, my lord, could this matter be related to this third young master?"

Bai Su looked into Li Ergou's eyes and said, "Why do you say that? What's your reason?"

Li Ergou had been a constable for several years and had seen many bizarre things. He believed that many things were often related to a key figure.

So he said his reasons: "Look, this third young master has sword bones. Sword bones, that's amazing. I heard that people with sword bones usually have considerable achievements in swordsmanship.

Maybe he will be a sword master, a super sword cultivator in the future.

And he's missing this time. Why is it that so many people died, but he's the only one missing? That's very suspicious. You also said that the murderer is either after the treasures here or something else.

We guess that the Divine Sword Manor, just the name sounds very impressive. I heard that their ancestors passed down a very powerful divine weapon, but no one has ever seen it.

So, I suspect that the murderer may be after this third young master. You know, many evil and crooked techniques can turn other people's sword bones into their own."

Hearing this, Bai Su's eyes lit up, and she said with a sigh, "Hmph, Li Ergou, I didn't expect you to be a constable for nothing. Your analysis is very logical.

So tell me, if you were the murderer, what would you do now, and where would you hide?"

Li Ergou was silent for a moment and said, "We have searched this Divine Sword Manor inside and out, except for the armory. I don't know why, but why don't we start investigating from the armory first?"

Bai Su's eyes revealed a look of "I knew it" and said, "Hmph, I knew you would choose the armory in the end. You're still greedy.

But there are orders from above not to open the armory. In a few days, someone will come to take over, so I didn't open it. Otherwise, do you think I would let that place go?"

Li Ergou rolled his eyes and said, "Orders from above? My lord, a general may disobey orders when abroad. How can we let those guys control us? They don't know what's going on here. If the hateful murderer is hiding in the armory, wouldn't we lose the opportunity?

So, I suggest that we don't listen to those people. Let's open the armory first. We'll know at a glance if there's anything going on there."

Seeing that Bai Su was a little tempted, Li Ergou quickly added, "My lord, as long as we settle the people here, who will know that we opened the armory? To put it another way, if there really is a murderer hiding in the armory.

Even if it's ordered from above, they can't stop us from handling the case, right? It's such a big deal, and they don't give us any support, and they still want us to solve the case as soon as possible. Isn't this bullying us?

At worst, we'll do it at night, let everyone retreat, just you, me, and Brother Ba, that should be okay, right?"

Bai Su glanced at Li Ergou and snorted, "You have so many tricks, but is this really okay?"

Seeing that Bai Su had loosened her mouth, Li Ergou immediately increased his efforts and said, "Of course it's okay. Besides the three of us, who will know that we did it?

As long as we don't touch the things inside, nothing will happen."

Bai Su looked at the stone statue again for a moment, as if she had finally made up her mind. Just as she was about to agree, there was a loud bang, and the whole earth began to shake violently again.
