?Are you discussing the case? " Su Bai came over and asked curiously.

"You are so stupid, how can you understand." Gongsun Lu said with contempt.

"Tsk, I'm here to accompany Hengheng, who wants to listen to your conversation." Su Bai snorted softly, and immediately clung to Lian Heng's side.

Lian Heng didn't bother to pay attention, he said in surprise: "Don't you all believe that the three of He's stole the sword?"

"At present, it seems that these three are the most suspicious." Gongsun Lu replied.

"If a certain head kills someone to steal the key, then stealing the sword makes sense." Lian Heng said meaningfully, "If the thief is a certain head, and the three of the He family disappear, in this situation, it seems that The three of the He family are in danger."

"Xiao Hengheng's thoughts are too dark, curse people to death." Gongsun Lu looked childish and unteachable.

"It's not impossible. It's reasonable for thieves to kill and steal the key." Li Jinsha tutted.

"Let's just wait at ease." An Xuansu said with a light smile.

"That's the only way to go. Young master, I'll lie down and take a nap." Gongsun Lu yawned and muttered, then found a chair aside and closed his eyes to rest.

The shadow of the sun slanted, the noon sun gradually set in the west, and the last ray of sunset light disappeared on the top of the mountain. Unknowingly, it was time for dinner, and Tie Yunnong ordered the maid to serve everyone for dinner, so as to buy more time.

"Report-"

"Come in!"

Tie Yunnong roared excitedly, and everyone in the martial arts world looked over at this moment.

"Village Master, is this your sword?" A disciple handed a wet sword to Tie Yunnong.

"This is Lao Tzu's sword! Who stole it!!!" Tie Yunnong grabbed the sword and shouted furiously.

"Going back to the village master, I found the bodies of the three butlers and this sword under the back mountain well."

"What?!" Tie Yunnong's eyes widened.

Everyone in the martial arts world sighed.

"The corpse has been salvaged and placed in the side hall." The disciple continued to report.

"Understood, you go down." Tie Yunnong waved his hand.

"Yes, Village Master."

After the disciple left, Tie Yunnong immediately rushed to the side hall, and the other people whispered to each other, and went to the side hall together under the guidance of Jin Ting.

"Xiao Hengheng was really guessed by you." Gongsun Lu glanced sideways at Lian Heng, and he laughed jokingly, "The murderer can't be you."

"Guess." Lian Heng smiled purely and replied.

"Oh, that's impossible." Gongsun Lu laughed and said, "I almost forgot, last night Xiao Hengheng held the beauty in his arms and lingered on the spring night, so there was no time to steal the sword."

"Nonsense." Lian Heng cast a sideways glance at Gongsun Lu and pulled An Xuansu to follow the crowd first.

"Hahaha! You still say I'm talking nonsense, and you always lead brother An wherever you go." Gongsun Lv laughed loudly.

"Let's go." Li Jinsha glanced at Gongsun Lu and followed him.

As soon as he entered the side hall, he saw three corpses covered with a white cloth on the ground. Tie Yunnong went up and lifted the white cloth to check the corpses, and confirmed that they were indeed He Yu, He Lin, and He Rui. His pupils were missing, his lips were purple, his skin was bruised, and there was a vertical purple mark between his eyebrows. The appearance of his death was extremely strange and terrifying.

An Xuansu, Lian Heng, Gongsun Lu and Li Jinsha fell into deep thought when they saw the dead man's death. They looked at each other and naturally understood what was in each other's mind. It seemed that the sword appreciation meeting was coming at the right time.

"Could it be that he committed suicide in fear of crime?" Fu Chengchuan frowned and said.

Chi Wu, a senior brother of the Sanqing Daoist School, squatted beside the deceased to examine carefully: "I believe that the appearance of the three's deaths is related to the recent prevalence of witchcraft."

"what?!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

"As far as I know, there is no abnormality after the witchcraft in the body, but after death, the body will turn black, the pupils will shrink until they disappear, and the most important thing is that there is a vertical purple mark between the eyebrows." Chi Wu continued.

"I can testify to this point." An Xuansu said, drawing everyone's attention, "When I was handling related cases, I also came into contact with the people and their corpses who were infected with witchcraft. All three are the same.”

"Is it really caused by witchcraft?" Jin Ting frowned in thought, his complex eyes seemed to hide many unknown secrets.

"Come here, put the three He's corpses in a coffin." Tie Yunnong summoned several disciples and said.

"Yes, Village Master."

"That is to say, this witch has already sneaked into Tiezhai?" Jin Ting said incredulously, "Then what is his intention? If he really came here for this sword, why did he abandon it?"

As soon as these words came out, people panicked. After a while, several disciples carried the three corpses out of the side hall. The side hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

"Report-"

The urgent report of this ghost roar and ghost scream made the quiet side hall suddenly commotion again.

"What's the matter?!" Tie Yun said sharply.

"The owner of the village is not good! The second lady seemed to have gone crazy just now, and she kept using hairpins to harm herself!" A maidservant knelt in front of Tie Yunnong and reported the report.

"What?? What's going on! Rui'er!" Tie Yunnong turned pale with shock, threw everything away and hurried to the backyard.

"Ladies' boudoir, everyone should stay here for a while, let the poor nuns and disciples go and see what's going on." Yin Jun said politely.

"What the teacher said is true, I will wait here." Jin Ting nodded.

Yin Jun returned the gift and left with two female disciples following Tie Yunnong.

After about a stick of incense, Tie Yunnong and Yin Jun returned to the side hall. Tie Yunnong sat down on a chair with a tired face and sighed, and everyone in the martial arts fell silent.

"Village Master, is Second Miss okay?" Su Muxi, head of Kongyan Sect, broke the silence.

"It's okay, I've fallen asleep, but." Tie Yunnong took out a black doll from his arms, "I found this under Rui'er's bed, the village owner has never bought this thing for Rui'er." He threw the puppet to the ground.

"It's just an ordinary girl's plaything." Shi Kongyan picked up the puppet and looked it over carefully. At first glance, the puppet is quite cute, but when you look closely, you feel creepy. This puppet is old, has a strange smile, and The whole body is made of black cloth, implying an evil spirit.

"I wonder if the abbot can let me take a look?" An Xuansu stepped forward and asked, if nothing else happened, this puppet was the one he often saw at the place where the witchcraft case happened.

"An Chen, this puppet is too sinister. It's better not to touch it. I'll help you get it." Lian Heng pulled An Xuansu behind him, raised his palms with both hands, and floated the puppet with his inner strength. Hanging in the air, the puppet was surrounded by pure and thick internal force, and gradually moved to An Xuansu.

"Village Master, I have handled many cases of witchcraft, and this puppet will appear wherever witchcraft cases occur." An Xuansu said firmly, "I believe that the second lady has already possessed the art of witchcraft."

"You're right." Tie Yunnong stood up and paced, "Just now the village master sent someone to investigate, He Yu, He Lin, and He Rui also found this puppet in the room of the three of them."

"Then the whole matter will be clear." Jin Ting said, "Someone deliberately used witchcraft to confuse the three members of the He family, manipulated them to steal the sword, and killed them after stealing the sword."

"It's strange, why is the sword still there?" Qi Hong said.

"I think the thief felt that he couldn't escape, so he simply gave up stealing the sword and threw the sword into the well." Fu Chengchuan speculated.

"This is also an explanation." Su Muxi thought deeply.

"Then what are you going to do now? Do you need to wait for me? Tiezhai Master, tell me." Lang Jie said bluntly, "It's almost Xu time now, and it's late at night. You can't stop me from resting."

"This is impossible! The murderer..." Tie Yunnong frowned.

"Master Tiezhai listen to me." Jin Ting patted Tie Yunnong on the shoulder, "Everyone in the hall is a decent family, since the murderer is a witch and Gu warlock who is making troubles all over the city, it must not be the heads, let alone now The sword will be returned as it was."

"That's right, Master Tiezhai, we've already cleared our innocence, and now the sword won't be rewarded, so it's time for us to rest." Qi Hong said.

"Okay, okay, the village master offended me today, everyone go back to your room and rest." Tie Yunnong scratched his head and said irritably.

Soon the martial arts crowd who had gathered for a day dispersed, Lian Heng and the others looked at each other and then went back to their respective places.

child time.

The woman's embroidered boudoir is quiet and elegant, only a faint lantern illuminates the front door, and the maid who watches the night yawns tiredly and feels sleepy.The pines and cypresses in front of the embroidered building were cold and independent, still lush and lush, suddenly rustled and quickly returned to silence, and did not attract the maid's attention at all.

"An Chen, if there is any movement later, don't run around, I will hold you." Lian Heng said in a low voice, and pulled An Xuansu in front of him, and the two hid secretly in the pine and cypress. Cong Zhong looked at the two-story embroidery building.

"Thank you." An Xuansu nodded unnaturally.

"Hey!"

Suddenly a surprised voice came, and Lian Heng was about to make a move, but when he looked back, it was Gongsun Lu and Li Jinsha.

"Why do you two come to sit and wait?" Gongsun Lu shook his head.

"Of course it's what you think." Lian Heng blinked mysteriously and said.

"Tacit understanding." Gongsun Lu's eyes lit up, and he squatted down beside Lian Heng.

The four of them didn't wait for a long time before there was movement in the embroidered building. With a "creak", the door opened, and Tie Rui in a white nightgown walked out with straight eyes, like a body without a soul.

"Eh? Miss, why do you..."

The night guard maid was knocked unconscious by Tie Rui without saying a word, and then Tie Rui walked towards the back hill in a stupid way.

"Follow." Lian Heng said and pulled An Xuansu up, and the group of four followed secretly.

The four of them followed Tie Rui, who had lost his soul, to the dense forest in the back mountain, where there was a lot of miasma, and you couldn't see your fingers when you stretched out your hands.
