dream of you

"Xiao Ye, why are you here?" Li Zhi opened the door, saw that Ye Li's face was not in a good mood, and hurriedly asked, "Are you not in a good complexion, are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Li looked at Li Zhi with complicated emotions in his eyes, and did not reply for a long time.

"Xiaoye?" Li Zhi asked tentatively again.

Ye Li moved his lips, and finally spoke: "Feili, are you..."

The rapid and vigorous bell sounded again, interrupting Ye Li's words.

Seeing that all the disciples living in the courtyard had walked out of the room, Li Zhi also stepped out of the door, wondering: "Why is the Shenming bell ringing again, what happened?"

Saying that, Li Zhi was about to walk into the noisy crowd, but Ye Li grabbed her hand, turned her head, and met Ye Li's serious eyes, Li Zhi remembered what Ye Li was about to say to herself and asked, "Sorry, what are you going to say?"

"Junior Brother Li!" Ye Li was about to continue to say something, but was interrupted again by Jian Xingheng walking over.

"Fourth Senior Brother, Fifth Senior Brother." Li Zhi turned to look at Jian Xingheng and Jian Tianshu, and asked, "But what happened?"

"Feili!" Ye Li called out in a deep voice, and pulled back Li Zhi who had almost strayed away again.

Pulling her hand hard, Li Zhi met Shang Yeli's eyes apologetically, and said, "Say it, say it, I'll listen."

Ye Li sighed helplessly, let go of his hand, looked directly at Li Zhi, and said solemnly: "I'll tell you again when this matter is over, it's very important."

At the end, Ye Li added another sentence: "When the time comes, don't run away."

Seeing that Ye Li left without thinking after saying those words, Li Zhi was a little confused.

Very important?Isn't it enough to say it now?run?What am I running for?

At this time, Nan Qi walked in. Unlike the last time, his face was not dignified, but sad. He was the only one who came, and he did not bring a group of Nan family disciples to surround the crowd.

"Seniors, please come with the juniors. Teachers are welcome." Nan Qi stretched out her hand to signal the door.

"Dare to ask, what happened this time?" A disciple of Lei's family said impatiently, "Could it be that the Nanping Clock is gone again? Can you let us sleep?"

"Lei Shi, don't be rude." Lei Qing yelled at the disciple, who immediately shut up and didn't say anything else.

When Li Zhi heard Lei Qing's voice, he looked over, and it happened that Lei Qing also looked over, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, and greeted each other hand in hand, since Lei Qing's incident, Lei Qing seemed to have calmed down a lot , I have lost the fearless impulse I once had, and I know how to think carefully when dealing with people.

"I'm really sorry to disturb you seniors again, but something serious has happened to the Nan family, and you will know as soon as you come." Nan Qi's voice was actually a little choked up.

Jian Jili glanced at Li Zhi and the others, and said, "In that case, please lead the way."

"Thank you Yazheng-jun, this way please."

The crowd followed Nan Qi for a long time, until they stopped at the deepest part of the Nan family's house. There was only one room here, which was different from the other architectural styles of the Nan family. It was built with blue bricks. It looks crude from the outside, but if you look closely, you will find that each brick has been carefully polished, stacked layer by layer, and seamlessly connected.

Nan Qi stepped forward, pushed open the half-closed door, and saw the scene inside the house, everyone's eyes widened in shock for an instant.

There was a long rope hanging from a beam in the middle of the room, and a young man was hanging there. He was about 27 or [-] years old. His mouth was slightly open, his eyes protruded from the eye sockets, blood remained at the corner of his mouth, and there was a huge hole in his lower abdomen. His clothes were stained red with blood, and the original color could not be seen. His toes just touched the ground, and the blood flowed all over the ground. It was dark red and had already dried up.

On the right side of the man, stood the motionless Nan Wanping, who was staring blankly at the man, his face ashen.

"Master...everyone has been brought here." Nan Qi whispered.

But Nan Wanping didn't seem to hear it, and was still sluggish. Nan Qi amplified her voice: "Master."

"En." Nan Wanping finally responded, but without turning around to face the crowd, he just said in an unusually hoarse voice, "This is my son, Nan Ke. As you can see, the golden elixir was stripped, has... died."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar at the scene.

"Wu Jingzun, this..." the leader of the Mo family said hesitantly.

Nanwanping still didn't look back, and murmured: "In order to forge the spirit bell, my son has retreated here for many days. The day before yesterday was supposed to be the day he left the customs, but he didn't come out. I didn't think much about it, I just thought He was delayed. Today, the boy in charge of delivering food told the old man that my son hadn’t eaten for two days. The old man came here to look for him, knocked on the door for a long time and there was no answer, and when he entered... saw my son die tragically."

"Ah!" A woman's scream suddenly sounded at the door, and then a woman staggered through the crowd and fell at the feet of Nanwanping, grabbing Nan Ke's trouser legs, and crying hoarsely: "Ke, I Son, what's the matter with you, what's the matter, how did this happen, how did this happen..."

"Ma'am..." Nan Qi stepped forward, wanting to persuade her, but couldn't help but choked up so that she couldn't speak.

Soon, the disciples of the Nan family gathered outside the door, all silent and deeply saddened.

"Wu Jingzun, please mourn." Jian Shengxuan said in a low voice, "Let's put Young Master Ling down first."

It took a long time for Nanwanping to respond, and ordered Nan Qi: "Take Madam back to the room."

"No, I don't want it, Ke..." Mrs. Nan struggled, Nan Wanping tapped her sleeping point and immediately passed out, and was taken away by Nan Qi.

Just as Jian Jili was about to go forward to put Nan Ke down, Nan Wanping stretched out his hand and refused. Nan Wanping touched Nan Ke's face lovingly, trying to close his wide-open eyes, but Nan Ke refused. Refuse to close.

Nan Wanping finally broke down and cried out: "Son, I know that you will not rest in peace, and I will avenge you for you. The Nan family will be fine, please watch carefully from below, okay?"

Nan Ke, who was put down and lying on the ground, still stared, his eyes filled with anger and resentment, as if he was waiting for the murderer to be killed before he was willing to rest in peace.

Nan Wanping wiped away his tears, stood up and faced the crowd, his eyes were red and he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't know who is so insane, what is the purpose of slaughtering the children of various families for days, but I am sure that this person has an extraordinary cultivation level Jin Dan is planning something out of conscience. The old man has notified the heads of the four great immortal families, and he will arrive in a few days. Please stay in the yard for the next few days. The old man will send someone to guard, so as not to offend anyone , I hope to forgive you."

"What Wu Jingzun said is reasonable. The murderer is indeed very likely to be among us. I have no objection." The Mohist representative stood up first and said.

"Well, then we will discuss it after the heads come." Jian Shengxuan immediately agreed.

"Ze Yanzun is staying, I have nothing to do, just wait for them to come." Ye Su followed up.

Seeing this, the disciples of the Lei family also nodded in agreement.

"Waiting for the heads of the various families to come these few days, I hope everyone will be more careful, and don't let the murderer take advantage of it." Nan Wanping said and waved his hands, signaling his disciples to take everyone back to the courtyard.

"Wait!" Li Zhi suddenly shouted.

Discovering that Li Zhi had been staring at Nan Ke since entering the room, he simply asked, "Did you find anything?"

Li Zhi nodded, walked towards Nan Ke's body, and said, "Mr. Nan's cultivation level must not be low. If the murderer commits the crime, the two of them will definitely fight, but there is no trace of fighting in the house. Moreover, Mr. Nan, he was not flayed alive. Jin Dan died."

"The younger generation thinks that the murderer took away the golden core when Master Nan was about to die." Li Zhi knelt down, raised Nan Ke's neck slightly, and said, "Just now, the younger generation wondered why the murderer took Nan Ke away. Hanging on a rope?"

Seeing a deep purple and very thin scar under Nan Ke's neck, Li Zhi confirmed his inner guess, and signaled to everyone: "This should be the fatal wound of Mr. Nan. Although the wound is small but extremely deep, Mr. Nan should be His throat was cut by someone inadvertently, and he couldn't make a sound, until the moment before he died, the golden core was stripped away by the murderer."

After a pause, Li Zhi went on to say: "The murderer's rule of peeling the golden elixir has always been the law. He may need to collect the golden elixir obtained in this way. As for why he killed Mr. Nan in this way, I think, It may be because if you fight with Mr. Nan head-on, you are very likely to be discovered, or you will lose to Mr. Nan."

"However, wouldn't it be easy to cut my neck while my son wasn't paying attention?" Nan Wanping said, suddenly startled, and hurriedly shouted, "Come here, bring the boy who delivered the food!"

"Actually, it's very easy, just take the next medicine and it will be done." Li Zhi said softly.

Nan Wanping looked at Li Zhi, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said, "Young Master Li, how did you find out about the injury on my son's neck?"

Nan Wanping's question expressed the suspicion of everyone present. The knife wound on Nan Ke's neck was covered by the rope's strangulation, and it took a very careful look to find it, but Li Zhi was looking at it closely before observing it. Just noticed, how did this happen?

Li Zhi pointed to the long rope on the beam, and said, "If he died from an abdominal injury, how could there be blood on this rope?"

Everyone looked at the long rope, and as expected, they could see a place with bright red blood.

"So, I believe that Mr. Nan was drugged and bewitched, but his consciousness was still there. Then he cut his throat and was stripped of his golden core when he was dying." Li Zhi connected his conjectures together.

As soon as the words were finished, a disciple of the Nan family hurried in and said to Nan Wanping: "Master, the boy who delivered the food has already committed suicide by throwing himself into the well."

"What?! Take me there as a teacher!" Nan Wanping roared angrily, and walked out with red eyes.

Everyone hurriedly followed, and hurried to a well in a corner courtyard of Nan's house. The swollen body of the little boy had been salvaged, but there was obviously no sign of life. It seemed that they were telling Nan After the abnormality of Nanke in Banping, he threw himself into the well and committed suicide in fear of crime?Or, is he trying to hide something?

"Nanxi!"

"Yes, Master." A Nan family disciple responded.

"Go to Lanlou and bring Wenhunling." Nan Wanping ordered.

"Yes, Master." Nan Xi froze for a moment, then ran away immediately.

Seeing this, everyone immediately understood Nanwanping's plan.Wen Hun Ling is a famous work of Nam Bang Ping, it is said that it can forcibly recall the soul of the dead within a day for questioning.Nanwanping wanted to recall the boy's soul and ask what happened.

Soon, Nan Xi ran back holding a one-meter-long bell frame. On the bell frame, a row of golden bells was neatly arranged from small to large. This was the Wenhun Bell.

Nan Wanping took Wenhunling and placed it next to the boy's body, then sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and chanted a spell in his mouth. Immediately afterwards, Wenhunling rose automatically without wind, "Keng Keng Keng Keng ” The voice gave off a creepy feeling.

After "Keng Keng Keng" for a long time, the little boy's soul emerged from the ground unsteadily, maintaining his appearance when he died, with a swollen and pale body, with his head bowed weakly, standing motionless like this.

Nan Wanping stood up with Nan Xi's support, and asked in a deep voice: "A Lin, did you give the young master the medicine?"

Allen nodded silently.

"Did you cut the young master's neck?"

Alin still nodded.

Li Zhi stepped forward and asked softly, "A Lin, is it you who stripped the golden elixir?"

As soon as these words came out, A Lin's body shook violently. He suddenly raised his head to look at the crowd, his straight eyes just took a look and then dropped again. Before the crowd had time to identify who he was looking at, Nan Wanping wanted to speak Asked, but Alin suddenly lit up with blue flames.

At the moment when the suddenly rising flame was about to burn Li Zhi's body, one hand pulled Li Zhi away, and the next moment, Li Zhi crashed into a hug, "Did it burn?"

"Third...Third senior brother, no...not burned. Thank...thank you." Li Zhi stepped back a few steps and stammered back.

Seeing A Lin whose soul spontaneously ignited and turned into a ball of blue soul fire, Li Zhi's ominous premonition grew even stronger.

Certainly, something bad will happen.
