upstairs to rest.

***

Although this Cheng'en Inn is the largest inn in the Western Regions, it is still far from the small town in the Central Plains.There are only three floors in total, except for the ground floor, each floor is surrounded by a square shape, with ten rooms in each.The rooms for four people are all on the top floor.

Wei Shengni pulled Song Yanchu into the room, he shook Song Yanchu's hand and felt relieved that it was still warm.The environment in the Western Region is harsh, and it is still freezing cold. What he is most worried about is that Song Yanchu will catch cold and get sick.

But Song Yanchu was still in a state of shorting, and did not respond to Wei Shengni.

"Yan Chu really intends to be like this all the time." Wei Shengni said sadly, thinking that Song Yanchu just said that he just met the three of them by chance, it was even more uncomfortable.

It turns out that some things have happened and there is no room for change.

"Let's rest." As Wei Shengni said, he carried Song Yanchu to the couch and covered him with a quilt, and sat alone at the table beside him to pick up a brush to write and draw.

The room was very quiet, as quiet as if no one was there.

Seeing Song Yanchu fall asleep, Wei Shengni came to Song Yanchu's side to look deeply, and murmured softly intentionally or unintentionally:

"Is Yan Chuzhen going to use this method to force me to let go?"

"Why do you always force me to leave..."

Wei Shengni kept talking to himself to hide the pain in his heart for a long time, but he didn't notice Song Yanchu's trembling eyelashes.

Like all other cities and towns in the Western Regions, Yangguan City is the epitome of the climate of the entire Western Regions.Now at the end of October, the days are dry, but once the sun sets and night comes, the cold wind of late autumn sweeps in, flying sand and rocks, and making people shiver.People in the Western Regions generally do not go out at night, and merchants also find a place to stay at this time, build a stove, and a group of people gather around to keep warm.

And the lobby of Cheng'en Inn was also very lively, a group of people came to the hall to keep warm and chat loudly.

Yu Ziwu, Gu Xi, Wei Shengni, and Song Yanchu formed a table of their own, warmed themselves by the fire, and also burned a few pots of wine to warm their stomachs, and discussed tomorrow's itinerary in a low voice from time to time.

"Ani, it's fine for you to protect your wife, you can't leave me and Mr. Yu aside." Gu Xi pretended to be wronged.

Wei Shengni handed Song Yanchu a cup of hot tea, noncommittal: "I have my own measure."

"It doesn't matter," Yu Ziwu said, "Doctor Song is highly skilled in medicine, and we are very relieved to be able to travel with him."

Song Yanchu smiled at Yu Ziwu in embarrassment when he heard it.

Seeing this, Wei Shengni's heart sank again, he hugged Song Yanchu to his lap, hugged him tightly and said, "It's cold."

Song Yanchu's expression was a little unnatural, but he also sat in Wei Shengni's arms silently.

Along the way, Gu Xi took a sip of tea unhurriedly, his green eyes looked at the yellow sand and dark night outside the inn, and his lips curled up with a hint of determination.

Just as he was about to continue talking, a woman's shrill scream suddenly came from upstairs.

Everyone in the lobby was taken aback for a moment, and then a few people ran up and said, "What's the matter?"

I saw a woman ran down with a pale face, that was Xiaohui, her face was pale, her lips trembling and said: "Guo Shaoxia, Guo Shaoxia..."

"What's wrong, Senior Brother Guo?" Disciples of the Sanqing Dao Sect immediately rose up in the hall.

"He, he was..." Xiaohui was still speechless, terrified.

Those disciples used lightness kung fu and flew up the stairs, Yu Ziwu also got up and jumped upstairs, while Gu Xi still stayed by the stove, his expression was cloudy and thoughtful.

Wei Shengni still hugged Song Yanchu and ignored the matter, but Yu Ziwu was all he needed. Last night, he had already secretly contacted Yu Ziwu, and Yu Ziwu had to solve everything along the way.

Yu Ziwu flew upstairs, and when he came to Guo Chencheng's room, he stopped in shock, while the Sanqing Taoist disciples in the room had already burst into tears, filled with righteous indignation.

That Guo Chencheng died tragically beside the bed, his head and body were separated, his eyes widened, as if he was dying, Yu Ziwu stepped forward to take a closer look, that Guo Chencheng's head and body were separated, his broken neck was scorched black, and he could still smell it faintly Get a bloody and burnt smell that's sickening.Looking at the morning report again, she was wearing an inner garment, and it seemed that she was brutally murdered without any precautions.

Death, inevitable, karmic retribution... These words faintly flashed in Yu Ziwu's mind.

"Brother, your death is so miserable!" A disciple of the Sanqing Dao Sect shouted, crying out in pain.

"Avenge my brother!"

"Yes, we must find the murderer!"

At this time, the people in Chencheng's room gradually filled up, and Gu Xi and Song Yanchu also came upstairs.Seeing this, Song Yanchu frowned deeply, and stepped forward to inspect the corpse. The disciples of the Sanqing Taoist School also consciously moved out of the way when they saw that it was Song Yanchu.

And the fat proprietress who was called wandering came up tremblingly supported by Xiaohui. The moment she saw the corpse, she was horrified at first, and then a more terrified expression appeared on her face: "Yes, it's this kind of thing again. ..."

"Again?" Yu Ziwu asked.

The fat woman nodded, tremblingly said: "...Recently, all those who come to the Western Regions to hunt for treasures are spared..."

At this time, Song Yanchu, who had already briefly inspected the corpse, still frowned deeply, and stood up solemnly.Everyone focused their eyes on him in unison.

"Guo Shaoxia died when his neck was burned by the flames, other than that, there was no other injury on his body."

Everyone was suffocated when they heard the words, Guo Chencheng's martial arts were not weak, even if he was unprepared, but once Huo hit his body, he should react immediately.It can be seen that the power of this fire is extraordinary.

At this time, a disciple of the Sanqing Taoist School suddenly said: "Xiao Hongli, you are so despicable!"

Xiao Hongli's expression changed upon hearing this, and she retorted, "How do you say that!"

The disciple didn't evade, and said loudly: "My brother is very strong in martial arts, how can ordinary fire burn his neck off?! It must be your Yiyang faction's Sanwei real fire that has such an effect!"

"You!" Xiao Hongli's veins bulged, his neck turned red.

"Even if it wasn't done by you yourself, it was done by members of your Yiyang sect!"

"Shut up!" Xiao Hong sternly cursed.

"Are you guilty?!"

At this time Yu Ziwu spoke slowly: "You two, don't be impulsive. What the disciples of the Sanqing Dao School say has some truth, but it is not comprehensive."

As soon as these words came out, everyone focused on Yu Ziwu.I saw Yu Ziwu slowly said: "The Sanwei Zhenhuo of the Yiyang faction is indeed powerful, and it is indeed possible to attack the unsuspecting Guo Chencheng."

Xiao Hongli was still unhappy when she heard the words, but she still waited for Mu Jin to continue.

"But in fact, there are two kinds of flame arts in Jianghu that can achieve this level. One is the Yiyang School's Sanwei Zhenhuo, and the other is the Liyan Jue."

As soon as the words "Li Yan Jue" came out, I felt as if I was frying a pot, and gradually pointed the finger.

"As far as I know, the Liyan Jue is a very rare move. According to the rumors in Jianghu, only one person can master this Liyan Jue - that is the famous sand-controlling skill in the Western Regions, Sha Ying."

Sha Ying is a well-known master in the martial arts, but two years ago, she suddenly lived in seclusion in the Western Regions and no longer participated in the disputes of the martial arts.This person's hometown is the Western Regions, and his sand control skills are unrivaled in the world. It is said that he can identify the direction and water source in the desert, and can use sand and gravel as a sharp weapon to attack opponents.But this person is upright and pertinent, has good conduct, and has always done things aboveboard. Such behavior is really inconsistent with him.

"Hero Sha is an upright man with a very good character, and has absolutely no hatred against my faction. What's more, he has long been far away from martial arts disputes, and has no interest in this treasure. This Xiao Hong must have killed my senior brother!" The disciples still firmly believe that Xiao Hongli is the murderer.

"Hmph, that sounds nice." Xiao Hong snorted sternly, "Perhaps that Sand Shadow wanted to avenge the civilians in Bing Ri Town, so he killed Guo Chen Cheng!"

"Hero Sha is upright, he will kill if he wants to, and he will never sneak around!"

"Stupid!" Xiao Hongli sarcastically said, "He wants to sneak around, can you see it?!"

"That's right, what Eldest Brother said is right!" the Yiyang Sect disciple echoed.

"You young villains will sue first!" The disciples of the Sanqing Daoist School also rose up to refute.The two factions are constantly arguing, seeing that the conflict is about to explode.

"Don't be noisy, everyone, it's getting late, everyone should go to the room to rest." Xiaohui immediately stepped forward and adjusted skillfully when she saw this. "Maybe the murderer is trying to make everyone lose out. Don't fall into his tricks!"

Xiao Hongli looked joyful when she heard the words, and looked at Xiaohui with gratitude in her eyes.

When Xiaohui received his gaze, her face flushed, she smiled shyly, and lowered her head.

Yu Ziwu was still sitting in the hall, looking at the warm flame burning in front of him, lost in thought.Seeing this, the other three also sat down with him.

"Master Yu is very familiar with martial arts matters." Gu Xi asked with raised eyebrows.

"Traveling around, I've naturally heard about it." Yu Ziwu answered calmly.

"What do you think, Young Master I don't know about this case?" Gu Xi asked.

"This must be the case of the mysterious killing of martial arts figures mentioned at the conference."

"Did they all have their necks burned?" Wei Shengni wondered.

"Not all of them." Gu Xi said, "It is said that some of them were cut open with bayonets, some were hacked to death directly with random knives, and some were scorched into black charcoal by flames. Not too ugly."

Yu Ziwu also nodded when he heard the words: "The murderer seems to do whatever he wants, and seems to have a deep hatred with these people."

"It's not necessarily the same murderer, but it looks like a vendetta..." Wei Shengni suddenly showed a faint smile.

Yu Ziwu looked at Song Yanchu and asked, "Doctor Song, did you find anything else when you checked the body today? Maybe there is something strange, but it's okay."

Song Yanchu pondered for a moment, and said: "When the hero died, his pupils were wide open.
