Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng

Zhan Zhao froze immediately when he heard the words, but Gongsun Ce remembered the dharma name...he hurriedly turned his head, pretending to check the surrounding situation, so as to hide the smile on his mouth, that dharma name...is really special.But thinking of those peach blossoms of Zhan Zhao later, hehe... In fact, Zhan Zhao's master must have the ability to predict the future, and the name he took is really meaningful.

"Huh? What's the matter? Don't you have one?" Bao Zheng still stared at Zhan Zhao for some reason, and asked in confusion.

Zhan Zhao's face flushed red, his expression was extremely awkward!Seeing this, Gongsun Ce suppressed a smile and said, "Bao Zheng, let's go ahead and have a look."

Bao Zheng turned his head to look at Gongsun Ce, and saw that Gongsun Ce's eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of his mouth were still holding back a smile. He couldn't help raising his eyebrows, so he walked over, walked a few steps and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what the exhibition is?" Zhao's dharma name?"

Gongsun Ce was taken aback, then shook his head and smiled, "How could I know?" Then he asked curiously, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

"No, I just asked casually." Bao Zheng said indifferently, the real reason is...he saw Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao talking so intimately, he suddenly felt a little unhappy, so he asked casually, just wanting to interrupt the two of them , and asking casually like this was a bit of an unexpected harvest. Seeing Zhan Zhao's embarrassing appearance, that dharma name... must be very interesting!

After entering the deepest part of the cave, as I remembered, the statues on both sides of the cave are still so eerie, and there are still two words hanging on the two sides of the center of the altar: the mountain is on the mountain, the white mountain embraces thousands of greens; the water in the water, Black water embraces red.

As soon as Bao Zheng entered the altar, his expression became serious. He took the torch from Gongsun Ce and began to look at the statues carefully. After looking at them one by one, Gongsun Ce's heart skipped a beat. There are only four statues here!There is no statue made according to Zhan Jun's death method after Meng Fang in his previous life! ?

How is this going? !Things have changed again!Could it be because of myself? !

"These... must be more than two years old." Bao Zheng whispered while touching one of the statues.After he finished speaking, he couldn't hear the clear and gentle voice of the person behind him for a long time. Bao Zheng turned his head to look, but saw Gongsun Ce's extremely pale face and the panic in his eyes. Hold Gongsun Ce's hand!Bao Zheng's warm and strong hand, coupled with such a strong grip, Gongsun Ce finally came back to his senses, and slowly turned his eyes to look at Bao Zheng, as if he had found support, Gongsun Ce showed a faint and weak smile, " Bao Zheng...I'm fine, it's just...these statues are a bit scary."

Scary statue?Those corpses in various forms of death have never seen you like this, so how could these statues scare you?I'm afraid... what dream did you have again?And this dream must be related to this case again... Bao Zheng thought to himself, but he didn't expose and question him, he just held Gongsun Ce's hand tightly, and instead of letting go, he held Gongsun Ce's hand to watch Moving to the next statue, he said calmly, "These statues are all over two years old."

After searching around, Zhan Zhao found nothing, or couldn't find anything, and ran to Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce in frustration. After hearing Bao Zheng's words, he asked curiously, "Brother Bao! How did you know that?" of?"

"I once worked for a carpenter in Luzhou City for several years, and he also made statues there. Generally, the painted statues will have such a slightly faded appearance after two years, and the color is also somewhat dim. , but it won’t be particularly obvious, and you can barely smell its smell. There are also spider silk and dust around here. It’s been two years at the latest!” Bao Zheng explained, holding Gongsun Ce’s hand tightly.

Zhan Zhao nodded half-understood. At this moment, he turned his eyes and caught a glimpse of Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce's handshake. He couldn't help but be puzzled, why did Brother Gongsun and Brother Bao hold hands so tightly?

At this time, Gongsun Ce has also slowly adjusted, staring at the statue he is looking at now, thinking about Bao Zheng's judgment, more than two years?This altar, he is sure must be Meng Fang!And Meng Fang must have been preparing for a long time, but why is there no statue of Zhan Jun?

Or... Zhan Jun was not killed by Meng Fang?

Turning his head to look at the two characters on the central altar, Gongsun Ce said in a low voice, "Bao Zheng, have you heard of the Yi clan?"

Bao Zheng followed Gongsun Ce's line of sight, shook his head, "I haven't heard of it." He lowered his head and stared at Gongsun Ce's face for a while. He asked in a low voice, "Are you better?"

Gongsun Ce turned his head to look at Bao Zheng, his heart was ironed, his hands were still tightly clenched, that warm and strong hand reminded him that no matter when, Bao Zheng was still by his side, the corners of his mouth curled up, outlining a warm With a slight smile, "It's much better."

At this moment, Zhan Zhao who was at the side suddenly realized, oh, it turned out that Brother Gongsun was not feeling well, that's why Brother Bao held his hand.Well, that must be the case. Taking a closer look at Brother Gongsun's face, Zhan Zhao was annoyed, but he didn't notice that Brother Gongsun's face was really pale!

Zhan Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and asked concerned, "Brother Gongsun, why don't we go back first! Your face is ugly."

Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Bao Zheng beside him, Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back."

So, the three of them left the cave. When they walked out of the cave, Gongsun Ce took a deep breath and suddenly felt that the depression in his heart had dissipated a lot. When they got outside, Bao Zheng held Gongsun Ce's hand tightly and slowly let go. Looking back at Gongsun Ce's smiling face, Bao Zheng felt relieved. It seemed that he was all right.

"Bao Zheng, how should we investigate this Yi family?" Gongsun Ce turned his head and asked earnestly as he descended the mountain.

Bao Zheng was startled, then stood still, staring at Gongsun Ce with sharp eyes, "Do you also think this has something to do with Zhan Jun's case?"

Gongsun Ce smiled mischievously, blinked, "Intuition."

Bao Zheng was taken aback, looked at Gongsun Ce, and smiled meaningfully.

"The only person in Luzhou City who can let us find out about the Yi people is the household registration official." Bao Zheng said thoughtfully.

Gongsun Ce nodded, that's right, in his previous life, he found the "previous events" of Dean Ying, Xueshi Yang and others in the household registration, and only then gradually revealed the mystery of the extermination of the Yi people, as well as the blood altar. murder.

"But..." Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce with a wry smile, "I don't know if our Lord Wang Song is willing to let us check the household registration..."

Gongsun Ce frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Bao Zheng, "Why don't I go and try it."

Bao Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then frowned and shook his head in objection, "No! He has a deep prejudice against you!"

Gongsun Ce was puzzled, "You don't ask me what method I used?"

"No method will work!" Bao Zheng said very forcefully, and said solemnly to Gongsun Ce, "Wang Song has a wicked heart, and he has malice towards you, so he will definitely make things difficult for you!"

Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Zheng in a daze, how could he not hear what Bao Zheng meant?This is... you don't want to see yourself being made things difficult, do you?

Bao Zheng paused, and then said, "If you want to go to Wang Song, I'm more suitable."

Gongsun Ce came back to his senses, and when he heard it, Bao Zheng was going?Just like how Bao Zheng almost got on the shoulders with Wang Song last time, it would be even worse if he went!Quickly objected, "Who doesn't know your temper? You definitely can't go!"

Zhan Zhao on the side was very dazed, looked left and right, couldn't help but said, "Brother Bao! Brother Gongsun, do you want to take something? If it's inconvenient for you, I have martial arts, why don't I go?" !"

When Bao Zheng heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, then the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he was about to speak, but Gongsun Ce waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, we don't necessarily have to go through Wang Song to see the household registration!"

Bao Zheng looked at Gongsun Ce, and Gongsun Ce continued with a smile, "I think of a person who can help us get the household registration."

"Who?"

"Lu Yun."

**********

As soon as Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce, and Zhan Zhao came down from the back mountain, Gongsun Ce suggested that they should go to the academy to look for clues. Bao Zheng nodded and agreed, so the three of them walked into the academy through the back door. As soon as he entered the academy, Gongsun Ce felt something was wrong!The academy is surprisingly quiet!

Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng glanced at each other, and they hurried towards the academy. Zhan Zhao saw that the two suddenly got up, so he tiptoed and ran towards the academy first, shouting, "Brother Bao, Brother Gongsun, let me go in and take a look!"

Into the main hall of the academy, no one? !

Gongsun Ce and Bao Zheng looked at each other, and then ran towards the backyard. At this time, there was also the sound of crying from the backyard, and Gongsun Ce's heart skipped a beat. Could it be——

Gongsun Ce couldn't help speeding up his pace, and ran towards the courtyard where the crying sound came from. Looking at the courtyard, Gongsun Ce couldn't help slowing down his pace. It was... the courtyard where Dean Ying lived...

At this time, Bao Zheng had already rushed over. Seeing Gongsun Ce slowing down and staring blankly at the yard, Bao Zheng grabbed Gongsun Ce and said calmly, "Now is not the time to be in a daze!"

After finishing speaking, he dragged Gongsun Ce into the courtyard.

Outside the study room in the courtyard, the students of Songshan Academy were already kneeling all over the ground, all with their heads bowed, their faces mournful, and some could not restrain themselves from crying in a low voice.Gongsun Ce found that Bao Zheng was shaking his hand tightly.

Gongsun Ce knew that to Bao Zheng, Dean Ying was his benefactor!He is his most respected teacher!Without Dean Ying's appreciation and help, Bao Zheng would not have been able to enter Songshan Academy, and without Songshan Academy in the past few years, there would be no Bao Zheng today!

Being staggered into the study by Bao Zheng, Gongsun Ce saw... Dean Ying sitting behind the desk with his eyes wide open, but with a dagger stuck in his chest!
