After seeing the scorched blackness, Xie Wuyi got up and pushed open the door to re-enter the room, turned around and squatted down by the threshold, looking down at the ground.

Ji Qinglin also squatted down with him, lowered his head and took a closer look, and saw a few lumps of gray powder at the angle between the threshold and the ground, which looked like a few pieces of fallen incense ash.

The color of these ashes is very close to the ground, and hidden in the shadow under the threshold, like ordinary dust, it is impossible to detect it without paying attention.

Xie Wuyi stretched out his hand and twirled some powder under his nose, sniffed it, frowned slightly and said, "Mixiang."

After finishing speaking, he immediately stood up and walked towards Shi Buyu's residence beside him.

As expected, there were also ashes of the same incense on the threshold of Shi Buyu's residence.

Although Ji Qinglin has never seen real Mixiang, Uncle Huo once put sleeping spices in the brazier to help him get out of the mansion on New Year's Eve in the mansion, and the spices made everyone in the mansion fall into a deep sleep in a short while, thinking about the real Mixiang The effect will only be more than less.

There are ashes of incense in the room of two people, what does this mean?

Ji Qinglin and Xie Wuyi looked at each other, and when they met each other's eyes, they instantly understood that the other party and their own thoughts were actually the same.

To be honest, when they speculated that there was an inner ghost among the three in Qingjiu Town, Ji Qinglin immediately pointed the finger of suspicion at Chi Ruogu.

It's not because he has any prejudice against Chi Ruogu, but judging from what happened last night, Chi Ruogu's suspicion is undoubtedly the biggest.

First of all, when Uncle Huo had an accident in Little Yulin, only Chi Ruogu was by his side. Afterwards, Xie Wuyi and the others' understanding of the "event happened" all came from Chi Ruogu's narration. Letters can be faked, and the process can be fabricated. , anyway, no matter how he fabricated it, he was dead without proof.

Secondly, during the period from the death of Uncle Huo in Xiao Yulin to the time when Ji Qinglin reconciled with Xie Wuqian and left the door, only Chi Ruogu had left their sight.

At that time, after they returned to Lingfang Garden, Ji Jie, Yin Luo and Shi Buyu were all in the small reception hall in the garden, only Chi Ruogu left for a while on the pretext of going back to the room to get the letter.

Before Xie Wuyi was in Yunzhou, he could deduce that the twins were reincarnated near Luming Mountain based on the length and direction of the silk thread, so for Chi Ruogu, who is resident in Yuzhou, he must be very familiar with the distribution of surrounding towns, so he can rely on the silk thread It is not uncommon to deduce that Uncle Huo was reincarnated in Sake Town.

It is very likely that during the time when he left the small hall, he disclosed the news of Uncle Huo's reincarnation in Qingjiu Town to the black-robed man, and because Qingjiu Town was only a rough area, the black-robed man could not determine which fetus was born. It's Uncle Huo, that's why he attacked four families at the same time.

In the end, Ji Qinglin's decision to find Uncle Huo's reincarnation last night was just a temporary idea. At that time, Shi Buyu and Yin Luo had already returned to their rooms, and only Chi Ruogu was by their side.

That is to say, Chi Ruogu was also the first person to know that they were going to Qingjiu Town, and he also knew that they were going there on foot, so he had every chance to secretly send someone to hurry up and spread the news to Qingjiu Town before them, telling Black The robe man Ji Jie and the two are coming here, reminding them to leave immediately after they succeed.

Xie Wuyi's thinking was almost the same as Ji Qinglin's, but what he couldn't figure out was, if Chi Ruogu was the inner ghost, why did he tell them the secret about the soul sealing technique earlier?

You know, if Chi Ruogu hadn't explained the method and consequences of the soul-sealing technique to them, they might still know nothing about the soul-sealing technique. Wouldn't that be more beneficial to the black-robed man?Or did he collude with the man in black after that incident?

Just as Ji Qinglin did not jump to conclusions before, Xie Wuyi had always had reservations about the result he had conjectured because of the unclearness of this doubtful point. The steelyard in my heart had to become more tilted because of this.

However, for the sake of caution, they still didn't make a conclusion immediately, but turned around and walked towards Chi Ruogu's bedroom together.

When pushing open the door of Chi Ruogu's house, Ji Qinglin deliberately checked the thin silk on the door, and found no cracks or scorched marks. How many.

By this time, the answer seemed to be obvious, Ji Qinglin was about to say something, but Xie Wuyi stood up, turned and walked towards the window.

Ji Qinglin understood that he was unwilling to let go of any possibility, so he followed him to the window, unexpectedly, they found the same cracks and scorched blackness on the window silk as on the previous two doors.

The two squatted down to take a closer look, and saw a few pieces of incense ash scattered under the window, which was exactly the same as the ashes in Yin Gong and Shi Buyu's room.

Ji Qinglin was a little surprised, and Xie Wuyi also did not expect this result. The reason why he went to the window to check was entirely due to his cautious and meticulous habits, not his expectations.

There are traces of Mixiang in the three-person house, that is to say, the Mixiang in the Yingong and Shibuyu houses were not made by Chi Ruogu, but someone else.

The other party stunned the three of them last night after Ji Qinglin reconciled with Wuqian, and then took them out of Lingfang Garden without anyone noticing.And it is not easy to take away the three unconscious people quietly, which means that there may be more than one person on the other side.

This is obviously another action targeting the Four Seasons Valley, who else would attack besides the man in black?

After arriving at this answer, Ji Qinglin's thoughts suddenly became very complicated, because this conclusion was completely contrary to his previous speculation of reconciliation.

They thought that Chi Ruogu was the "inner ghost" who delivered the news to the man in black, but now Chi Ruogu was taken away by the man in black together with Yinluo and Shi Buyu.

"Did we guess wrong earlier?" Ji Qinglin asked uncertainly.

Xie Wuyi also seemed to be lost in thought because of this sudden reversal. After contemplating for a long time, he shook his head and said, "Unless someone in the black robe can see the silk thread."

Hearing what he said, Ji Qinglin suddenly felt even more confused.

All their previous suspicions and speculations were based on the fact that "the person who conveyed the message to the man in black can see the silk thread", and it is because of this that they were able to narrow the scope to the three of Chi Ruogu, but if the black robe There are also people who can see the silk thread, which is tantamount to completely overturning the premise of their speculation.

It's like you find a dead chicken in your yard, and there are dog paw prints next to the chicken. Your first reaction is to target the "murderer" on a nearby dog, but at this time someone tells you that this The paw prints may not be of dogs, as the paw prints of wolves, tigers and leopards all look like this.

In this way, the scope of the "murderer" instantly expands, and your previous speculation becomes meaningless.

Ji Qinglin rubbed the center of his brows, feeling that he had fallen into a situation where all trees and trees were in danger. He couldn't help but glance at Uncle Feng who was tending medicinal herbs not far away. In his eyes, even Uncle Feng had become very suspicious.

After forcibly stopping his wild thoughts, he raised his head and looked at Xie Wuyi, who realized that Wuyi was lowering his head, his eyes were always on the jade pendant around his waist thoughtfully.

Ji Qinglin was startled, and followed him to look down. There was nothing unusual about the jade pendant, but at this moment he suddenly remembered something, raised his head and said in surprise: "Uncle Huo's memory is still in the jade pendant, right? Can you see the same thing that hides cicadas?"

Even though Uncle Huo was given the soul-sealing technique, his memory has not been returned in the jade pendant. Ji Qinglin was able to see Zhong Zangchan's memory last time. If he can also see Uncle Huo's memory this time, he will know what happened last night. What happened in the forest, and what he wanted to tell them with that finger before he died.

Xie Wuyi nodded, but his complexion was not very good-looking. It seemed that he had already thought of this method, but for some reason he was reluctant to try it lightly.

Ji Qinglin was puzzled for a moment, then seemed to understand what he was worried about.

After Yizhu is sealed, Yupei will regard his memory as an ownerless thing, and if he wants to see the memory, he must ask Yupei to transfer the memory to him. The same into a situation of no memory.

After deliberating for a moment, Ji Qinglin said: "Actually, my life is only a few decades long. When I die, won't my memory return to the jade pendant? But if they don't find clues about the murderer now, they will The longer the time under the soul-sealing technique, the more severe the split of the soul essence will be, and even the soul essence will be gone by then, so what's the use of remembering?"

Xie Wuyi was taken aback by what he said, as if he couldn't understand what he was explaining for a while, and he realized what he meant after a while, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "I'm not worried about this."

"It's not this?" Ji Qinglin was startled, "That's it?"

Xie Wuyi said truthfully: "After you entered the memory of the water god Guruo in Yunzhou, it took almost a day in just a few clips, and it took three days to enter the memory of the bell and hidden cicada last time. I'm worried..."

Xie Wuyi's words stopped here, but Ji Qinglin immediately understood what he was worried about.

If Yupei transfers memory to Yizhu, the handover can be completed in just a moment, but it is not the case when it is sent to someone who is not Yizhu.

Ji Qinglin's previous two memories were just a few short clips and it took a long time. If he hadn't forcibly left his memory midway because he discovered the secret of dragon blood exhaustion, he wouldn't know if he had to read all the memories. How long does it take.

Last night was the last night in all Uncle Huo’s memories. Judging from the chronological order, it is likely to be the last episode, and there are more than 1000 years of memory before this episode. The clues are all white.

This is indeed a problem that has to be faced. Ji Qinglin pursed his lips and thought about it for a long time before saying: "Since what I saw in these two memories were only a few incoherent fragments, it means that it is not completely in chronological order. Showing it day by day, it is likely that those memories are more important to Yizhu. Besides, you woke me up from the tub in Yunzhou for the first time, and I left on my own the second time. Can't interrupt. This time I can also try to see if I can focus on the important ones, if I really can't, I will force it out like last time."

After listening to Xie Wuyi, he remained silent, as if he was deliberating whether this method was appropriate. After a long while, he finally nodded and said, "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately added: "But this time it's me."

Ji Qinglin was startled, but then realized that Xie Wuyi was more familiar with Uncle Huo, and if he heard and saw some conversations and actions in his memory, it should be easier to find clues, so he didn't object, and nodded in agreement.

I don't know how long it will take to enter the memory, and after the memory is entered, they must be in a comatose state, so the two did not continue to stand in the courtyard, but returned to the high platform where they lived when they came to Lingfang Garden last time Small building.

Pushing the door open and looking in, the white hair had stood on the window frame at some point, just like the last time I came here.

Looking at this familiar scene, Ji Qinglin couldn't help laughing and said, "Are you planning to fly over and overturn a cup of tea to help us remember?"

Baimao let out a crisp cry and patted his wings, not knowing whether he was responding or having fun.

Xie Wuyi asked Uncle Feng to bring over a pot of herbal tea, then closed the door, poured a cup and brought it to the bedside.

Ji Qinglin took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to him, before he could speak, Xie Wuyi already held the jade pendant with his right hand, tilted the cup with his left hand, and poured all the tea on the jade pendant.

Ji Qinglin was taken aback by his swift action, and then quickly reached out to support his back, for fear that he would suddenly fall asleep and fall down.

One moment, two moments...

After holding his breath and staring at Xie Wuyi for a long time, Ji Qinglin blinked and asked in surprise, "Why... no response?"
