The current situation is more treacherous than before.

Gu Qing didn't show it on the surface, but in fact he was on guard, and calmly put Bai Yutang under his protection.

In just a few breaths, the soul-locking rope on the coffin was completely broken, followed by the coffin lid, and then a burst of red color rushed out of the coffin, the shape of that red color was like a cloud magpie.As if once released, it is going to fly to the sky, that's what the red color is like, but just after flying less than three feet into the sky, the red color is like a kite with a broken string, wobbling fell from the air to the ground.

If so, the red color was not discouraged, and rushed upwards again. This time, the distance it soared up was only three feet, and it fell down again like before.

Then, no then.

That red color turned into a three-foot-long knife on the ground, and compared to the original red color, the knife now turned into is not unpretentious. There is no engraving on the knife body, and the handle is extremely ordinary. Gu Qing and Bai Yutang, who saw it turned from a red color into a knife, would never think that it is an ordinary knife.

Bai Yutang spoke first to break the silence: "A knife?"

There was an unexpectedness in this sentence that could not be ignored. To put it bluntly, after he came to this cemetery and saw no living figures, he guessed that the culprit was the owner of the tomb.Considering that the person is already dead, it is very likely that it is a ghost, and then there is the sound of knocking on the coffin board, and there is some kind of soul-locking rope wrapped around the coffin, the possibility of being a ghost is even greater .

As a result, there was no ghost, but a knife appeared.

This is too unexpected.

Gu Qing said slowly: "I've said it all, it's very likely to be a sharp knife."

Bai Yutang heard the words and said angrily: "What's going on now? Are you waiting for this knife to redress your grievances?"

"I don't think it can talk." Gu Qing said solemnly, only to get a sneer from Bai Yutang, which contained unspeakable ridicule.

Gu Qing is not aimless, "The previous 'mirage' only had pictures and no sound, can't it explain this? Of course, the premise is that this knife was indeed made out and took the opportunity to lure us over. Then Taking a step back, even though the knife can’t speak, there is something wrong with this tomb, the owner may have grievances, and the corpse can sometimes speak.”

These words were indeed not without reason, Bai Yutang gradually calmed down, and tried his best to calmly say: "What are we going to do next?"

Gu Qing pondered for a moment and said: "Well, let's see if there are any corpses in the coffin."

Bai Yutang: "..."

Fortunately, the corpse in the coffin did not turn into a knife (...), and was lying in the coffin obediently.Gu Qing asked Bai Yutang to hold the torch, then took out a pair of brocade-woven gloves from his sleeves, put them on his hands carefully, and then stepped forward to examine the corpse.

Bai Yutang rolled his eyes lightly under his eyelids.

And when Gu Qing was focusing on the autopsy, the knife that seemed to be ignored by the two of them no longer lay on the ground holding the knife.It crawled up slowly, and moved closer to Gu Qing and the others. Seeing that no one was paying attention to it, it became more generous, stood on the side, and probed into the coffin in a very humane manner.

Gu Qing said abruptly: "So it's a dumb knife?"

The knife straightened up with a "swoosh", pretending to be a straight knife.

Bai Wuye couldn't help thinking of His Majesty Mao who was often stupid, and secretly thought that this knife and His Majesty Mao were the same.

They're all equally stupid.

It was an unnamed knife that was labeled as "dumb knife" and "stupid knife" when it came up, and it just stood there standing by the side until Gu Qing's autopsy was over.When Bai Yutang buried the coffin back again, it started to move. Instead, it stood beside the grave, quietly watching the coffin being gradually buried.

Gu Qing took off his gloves, and after recovering from deep contemplation, he stared at the knife for a long time until he avoided the tombstone before turning his gaze back to Bai Yutang: "Uncle Mao, You know Xuanyuan Sword, right?"

Bai Yutang nodded.

Just like Zhan Zhao's Juque Sword is a famous sword in ancient times, Xuanyuan Sword is also a famous ancient sword, but it is much more famous than Juque Sword.According to legend, it was made of copper from the Yellow Emperor's Caishou Mountain. The sword body is engraved with the sun, moon and stars on one side, and mountains, rivers, grass and trees on the other side. With this sword, the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You.Later, the Yellow Emperor died and was buried in Qiaoshan. After 500 years, the Qiaoshan mountain collapsed and the tomb was empty, leaving only the Xuanyuan sword, but the latter Xuanyuan sword was nowhere to be found. Come?"

"It is said that when the Xuanyuan Sword came out of the furnace, there were still raw materials left over, and the still liquid casting raw materials spontaneously flowed to the bottom of the furnace, and formed a knife shape after cooling. This saber was left in the world, and he wanted to destroy it with the Xuanyuan Sword, but unexpectedly, the saber turned into a cloud magpie in his hand, and disappeared into the clouds with a red color." When Gu Qing said this, he looked at the sword again. The knife that hid himself behind the tombstone, "This knife is named Minghong, and it is three feet long. It was obtained by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and given to Dongfang Shuo. So far, there is no record."

Speaking of Dongfang Shuolai, Gu Qing had only read his "Shen Yi Jing" not long ago.

"Do you think it is the Ming Hong Dao from the same origin as the Xuanyuan Sword?"

"It's just a guess." There are very few records about Minghongdao, and Gu Qing just watched the scene where it wanted to soar into the sky just now, and it is similar to the legendary Minghongdao, so it is so similar. explain.Thinking about this, Gu Qing smiled, and said again: "I thought about it and felt that this guess is unreliable. If it is the legendary Ming Hong Dao, how could it be trapped by such a sinister art as the soul lock rope, and it also committed a crime?" For the low-level mistake of letting the soldiers of the Warring States period face the samurai of the Han Dynasty?"

As soon as the words fell, the knife flashed coldly and attacked Gu Qing.

If the saber just now was harmless and shy, then now it is as bright as a rainbow and lightning, and its intent is astonishing, which made Bai Yutang's eyes light up.

But it only lighted up for a moment, because this knife has only a sword intent, but when confronting Gu Qing, there is no move that is worthy of the sword intent.So it is still embellished, and the simple way of saying it is that when the knife is thrown, it is like using yourself as a mallet.

It's just a waste of money.

This year changed in Bai Yutang's mind, and the next moment he leaned forward and grabbed the handle of the knife when it was about to hit Gu Qing.The knife didn't seem to have thought that it struggled violently for a few times, but Bai Yutang not only held him tightly, but also used his skillful force to turn the hammer into a thorn, and stab Gu Qing.

Gu Qing raised his eyebrows and accepted the challenge from both of them.

So the current situation is that the two of them are exchanging ideas in the cemetery. The knife used by Bai Yutang jumped out of the coffin of the owner of the cemetery, and the grave is only half filled-if he knows, will it be true? Jumping out of the ground in anger?

next day

"Master, do you mean that we will stay in Chenzhou Mansion for a few more days?" Pang Xie was quite surprised when he heard his young master say this. The birth mother of Yingguan's family, the future empress dowager entering the palace, no matter how you look at it, it is not easy to be treated slowly.

Gu Qing had no worries about this at all, he nodded slightly and said, "It's as little as one day, as long as three days."

In fact, apart from the additional element of the Minghong Sword, the case of the murder of Han Qi, the owner of the cemetery, is not very complicated based on the existing clues.The only thing Gu Qing cares about is the soul-locking rope. Gu Qing doesn't know whether it locks Han Qi's soul, but it can lock the Ming Hongdao that gave birth to the sword spirit, so it can be seen that it is not a "third-rate thing" ", but it really worked, which is worth pondering-judging from the cause of Han Qi's death, the murderer is very likely to be a crime of passion, that is, he accidentally killed Han Qi on impulse. They are all flaws, but the soul lock rope is extremely professional, which conflicts with the previous unprofessional.

With such a contradiction, Gu Qing is willing to take some time to investigate.

Seeing that his young master had already made a decision, Pang Xie had no further objections immediately, but when he turned his head to see Bai Yutang, Pang Xie couldn't help being surprised when he saw the long knife he was carrying with him.If he remembered correctly, Young Master Bai had never brought a sharp knife with him when he followed his young master in the "civet cat for prince" case.How could there be an extra long knife by his side in just one night?

Curiosity is curiosity, but Pang Xie didn't ask too much.

His Majesty the cat also woke up at this moment. It saw Gu Qing, and it didn't know where the dog gall came from, so it waved its front paw at Gu Qing: "Pang Qing's family, come here quickly, I want to tell you Whisper."

"Ok?"

His Majesty the cat put down his paw: "How about I stick to it?"

Gu Qing looked at it with a half-smile.

His Majesty Mao coughed dryly, and said softly, "Pang Qing's family, you are still so self-willed, okay, okay, I told you that I had a beautiful dream last night. In the dream, I brought my When the people went to battle to kill the enemy, I was called a hero, and the enemy was scared to death when they saw me!"

Gu Qing put away the piece of rotten wood thoughtfully, ignored His Majesty the Cat who was still bragging about how brave he was, and walked out with long legs.His Majesty the Cat followed him step by step, and told the story of his dream with pride: "At this moment, there is a dog soldier on the enemy side, pulling out a long knife, how can I be afraid—meow!!"

Don't doubt it, His Majesty the Cat saw the long knife in Bai Yutang's hand and yelled "no fear".

Alas, His Majesty Cat woke up a little early from this daydream.

Let's not talk about how His Majesty Mao is so stupid every day, but let's just talk about the investigation of the Han Qi case. The surname 'Han' is not common, and looking at the inscription on the tombstone yesterday, it is easy to find the address of Hanqi in Changzhou Prefecture.

In fact, when he saw Han Qi's tombstone at night, Gu Qing knew who he was.

A well-known blacksmith in this dynasty, he discovered the ruins of the Shang Dynasty Taimiao in a deep mountain a few years ago, and obtained the fragments of the three ancient evil swords, dragon teeth, tiger wings, and dog gods.

The casters of dragon teeth, tiger wings, and dog gods are unknown. It is said that many vicious things were used in the forging raw materials, and there are many kinds of curses bound.At the end of the Xia Dynasty, it was owned by the monarch Jie, and then the tyranny began.The three swords were enshrined in the Taimiao of the Xia Dynasty. When King Tang of Shang invaded the Shang Dynasty, he chopped the three swords into pieces with his own sword.

After Hanqi got the fragments of the three evil knives, he saw that there was black air in the broken iron, fearing that the fragments would change again, so he put them into the casting furnace and cast them again. It took one year and eight days to cast them into Jianglong, Fuhu, and Zhangou are three guillotines.Now these three guillotines are in Kaifeng Mansion and are used by Mr. Bao Zheng Bao, which is the so-called "Kaifeng three guillotines".

Hanqi is also famous all over the world because of this. When he passed away three years ago, the government issued a decree to mourn him. If so, it is understandable that Minghong knife will be buried with him.

Now Ming Hong Dao is in Bai Yutang's hands, he used Gu Qing as a "whetstone" yesterday, he can be regarded as subdued Ming Hong Dao, which should have become a famous sword in ancient times, but has basically never been used in the battlefield.

But now that they are going to investigate Hanqi, it is not easy to carry the Minghong Saber. Bai Yutang put it in the room, and turned around to ask Gu Qing: "What identity do we use to go to Han's house? Look, you came to Chenzhou The government did not expose your identity as a member of the government, so it is not easy to use the name of Dali Temple Minister to investigate the case? Why don't we use the identity of a member of the rivers and lakes who wants to forge a weapon? I can use my original name No, as for you, you can pretend to be my follower Bai Fu."

When it came to the end, Bai Wuye's eyes were a little more cunning, obviously it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.

"No," Gu Qing flatly refused, "I have a better proposal."

Then, the two of them dressed up as Taoist priests.

Bai Yutang was originally a handsome young man with an imposing manner, his brows were three points high, and after he was dressed as a Taoist priest, his every move showed the air of a superior man.

Not to mention Gu Qing, his eyes are usually so bright that he has the meaning of "I see through everything", but now he shows his innate arrogance, and his smile changes from pure to holy. Every movement is capitalized with immortal demeanor, as if he is independent from the world, and more importantly, after he pretends to be a Taoist priest, he has the real ability to make people believe that he can calculate magically.

In this way, they entered Han's house easily, and were treated as guests of honor by Han Qi's wife.

Before the other masters of the Han family heard that Xin'er had rushed over, the old lady Han had already been told by Gu Qing that even if she didn't obey him, she had already reached the point of believing it.

Bai Wuye was next to him as a wallflower, and by the way, he had a deeper insight into Gu Qing's ability to speak like a lotus flower.

Han Qi's eldest son, Han Qi, arrived first. He first looked at Gu Qing and Bai Yutang suspiciously, and then turned to old lady Han: "Mother?"

The old lady Han wiped her tears and said: "My son, let's listen to the master and move your father's grave."

Han Qi: "!!!"

——Could this be the legendary saying "If a person sits at home, disaster will come from heaven"?
