Ever since Fan Yao came to Liu Mansion, he first heard the bad news, and then realized something was wrong.But after careful investigation, many clues have been artificially erased.And it's disorganized, with seemingly completely disconnected things all gathered in one place.

Chu Sitong's Fengchai, Hu Qingniu's letterhead, Liu Dan's sudden illness and death.What's even more strange is that even if the coffin was parked for three days for people to worship, no one was sent to announce the obituary, and most of the people who came were neighbors.Others don't talk about it, just talk about Hua Sheng who has a good relationship with Liu Shicong.The Hualiu family has a deep friendship, if something happens to Liudan, Huasheng will never sit idly by.But it didn't appear now, as if he didn't know anything about it.

After thinking about it, it was already evening before he knew it, Fan Yao calmed down, casually spent dinner and went to the guest room to rest.His mind was full of thoughts, how could he sleep peacefully?Only then did I understand what it means to toss and turn and not be able to sleep at night.He simply put on his clothes and got up, pushed open the door and came to the corridor.

The moonlight in winter has always had a kind of coldness, which seems to be repulsive to people thousands of miles away, but the Qinghui Lingling winds down along the ridge of the roof and falls among the snow-covered plums, but it is tempting to step into it.Begonias have withered long ago, and now only dead branches remain, only plum blossoms are in full bloom, with a faint fragrance floating, tangy and elegant.

Thinking about it, Lamei can be regarded as a smart one. If it is crowded with beauty in summer, it may not be able to win such admiration from the hermit.But it's nothing more than a compliment for being delicate and chic, and it's all over the place.But it was born in winter. Although it was bitterly cold, it was different after all.Therefore, people from all over the world praised it, saying that it has all the fragrances and only Xuanyan, and it has all the charm to the small garden.It is said that the wind is blowing in the night, the fragrance is floating in the night, and the frost is nourishing the dawn.It is said that its fragrance spreads in the heart of heaven, but it is not said that ordinary plants and trees know it.

In fact, it may not necessarily be truly unique, but it is just a monopoly to attract attention.If you are really so proud, why are you yearning for poems and words, and the piano is surrounded by Fu.

Fan Yao has a bit of extreme in his bones, which is usually not obvious, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.The angle of seeing things is often different. He stood in a daze for a while, but subconsciously walked towards the lobby.He suddenly remembered that most of his daughter's family was afraid of the dark, and he didn't know how scared it would be to let her lie alone in the coffin.

He walked forward slowly, turned around the rocks and found the front yard, just about to take a step, when he heard someone walking on the snow.The sound of footsteps was very familiar, it was Uncle Niu.

Fan Yao always felt that Uncle Niu was acting strangely, so he stood behind the rock and was not in a hurry to go out.

He is superb in martial arts, but Uncle Niu really doesn't know even half of martial arts.I saw Uncle Niu walking forward with a lantern in his hand, wrapped in a leather jacket.In the lobby, there were originally two servants guarding here, but they were dismissed by Uncle Niu.

Uncle Niu walked into the hall and put the lantern on the confession case.Heshi recited a few words in a low voice, and then pushed the coffin away with all his strength, because Liu Dan was never married, there was no need to see the remains, and there was only a small gap in the coffin lid.

Uncle Niu pushed twice, leaving a distance roughly as thick as an arm.Immediately, he stopped his hands, pinched his lips and blew twice, and following the sound, something swiftly sprang out from the coffin, moving swiftly like the wind, cruising on the coffin lid, and finally coiled into a ball, with the snake's head raised high.

I saw that the snake's eyes were red, like carved from pigeon blood gems, but the whole body was silvery white, only the length of the forearm, and the thickness of fingers.The head of the snake is shaped like an inverted triangle, and its body is highly poisonous.

This snake is exactly the ice thread that Wang Nangu gave Liu Dan.

Obviously familiar with Uncle Niu, the snake tail slapped the coffin lid a few times, making a slight thumping sound.The snake raised its height high, showing a bit of eagerness.

Uncle Niu hurriedly looked around in fright, and softly comforted him: "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble." Then he took out the oil-paper bag from his arms, and it turned out to be fresh meat, probably cattle and sheep.They are all cut into small pieces, and it is cold in winter, so the smell of blood is not strong.At this time, Uncle Niu spread out the greased paper in front of Bing Xian, who lowered his head and bit.

It originally looked exquisite and small, but the meat was too big, and snakes can't chew, so they could only see a small piece of meat swallowed, and the belly suddenly bulged up.It doesn't match the petite figure, so it's not cute.

Such a gaze, a devour.After a while, the ice line stopped moving. The originally slender body has now gained a lot of weight. The snake's head did not seem to be raised high and guarded at the beginning, but instead lay on the body, lazily motionless.It is quite similar to its owner.

The cow whistled a few times, watching the ice thread go back into the coffin and disappear.Only then did the debris on the coffin be cleaned up, and the coffin lid was pushed back on.Holding the lantern as if he wanted to leave, he hesitated for a moment and then moved the copper basin used to burn paper money next to him, lit it again with a torch, and added a few handfuls of paper money.The blazing flames reflected the old man's face, Uncle Niu stroked the coffin and sighed: "Miss, this is really hard for you."

He took the lantern in his hand again, turned and walked out.Who would have thought that as soon as he turned around, he saw someone standing behind him, and he didn't know how long that person had been here.But there was no sound during the action, and Uncle Niu shook his hand in fright, and the lantern fell into the copper basin immediately, and the fire licked it and burned it up in an instant.Uncle Niu was just about to call someone, but the man tapped his acupoints casually.Unexpectedly, there was no sound at all.

Uncle Niu was terrified, he just thought he saw a ghost.Looking tremblingly and courageously, he saw the man wearing moon white clothes in the flames, and his black hair was not tied up, it just fell down casually.The pupils of the eyes are so cold that it is impossible to look directly at them.Only then did Uncle Niu come to his senses, heaved a sigh of relief, and called out, "Mr. Fan?"

He was tapped on the Ya point by Fan Yao, and his lips moved, but he could still express his meaning.Naturally, Fan Yao didn't want to quarrel everyone, so he said calmly, "Ran'er is not dead."

Uncle Niu tapped the Ya acupoint, his hands and feet struggled and he shook his head in a panic.Fan Yao casually clasped his veins, and the introduction of internal force immediately made Uncle Niu's half body numb, and he leaned softly on the coffin.

Fan Yao tapped the coffin with his knuckles, and he just suddenly thought that Wang Nangu trained the ice thread to be a Gu beast, and the mother Gu was planted in Liu Dan's body to control the child Gu in the ice thread.The child Gu will always obey the orders of the mother Gu, and if it dies, it will have no effect on the mother Gu.But if the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will definitely die along with it, and it is absolutely impossible to survive alone.

But the ice line is alive.

This proves that the mother Gu has not died yet, and Gu is closely related to the body, and it is several times more sensitive than medicine, and it is extraordinarily accurate.So Liu Dan most likely did not die!

At this thought, Fan Yao only felt that his blood was about to burn.There was no time to think about it, so he pushed the lid of the coffin away and looked at it with a bright fire.The girl in the coffin closed her eyes and slept peacefully, her complexion was lifelike, but she was too pale.The lip color is almost invisible.Fan Yao touched the pulse on Liu Dan's neck with his trembling fingers, and felt the skin under his hands was cold and slightly stiff.Fan Yao held his breath to test, but gradually his complexion turned pale.

No breathing, and certainly no heartbeat.No matter how hard you try, you can't find a pulse. This is indeed a dead person in the true sense.Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the turtle breath technique used by martial arts masters can also achieve the same effect.Liu Dan is an ordinary girl with no internal strength, this situation can only be ruled out.

But it's obviously impossible, things like mother-child Gu can never go wrong, if Bingxian is not dead, Liu Dan will definitely not die either.

Fan Yao experienced disappointment, hope and disappointment during the day, and his whole body was almost as if he had fallen into a cellar of ice.It was dark all around and there was no way out.He didn't hurt Uncle Niu just now, at this time Uncle Niu has gradually recovered.

The strange thing is that like Fan Yao, he doesn't want to attract others.He just stumbled over and pulled Fan Yao's arm in fright when he saw this situation: "Mr. Fan, you can't come back to life after death, so why do you bother the young lady's death?"

How could Fan Yao believe his words? His thoughts turned quickly, and he suddenly asked, "When did Ran'er die?"

Uncle Niu was startled, and replied, "It was late at night the day before yesterday."

Fan Yao didn't give him any chance to breathe: "What time is it?"

Uncle Niu hesitated to answer: "The hour of Hai has just passed."

"Who discovered it?"

"The old slave discovered it by accident."

"When was it discovered?"

"It's just past time."

Fan Yao asked quickly, asking several questions in a flash.Uncle Niu answered one by one, and Fan Yao seemed to have no problem.With drooping eyes and pupils, she couldn't tell clearly, and only gently put Liu Dan back into the coffin.Uncle Niu breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his brow.Suddenly Fan Yao asked urgently, "When did Ran'er die?"

Uncle Niu quickly regained his composure, and replied: "Zi... Haishi has just passed." Fan Yao then asked, "How many times does the rooster crow?" Uncle Niu subconsciously replied, "Three times..."

When he said a word, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he stiffened and looked at Fan Yao.Fan Yao was looking at him calmly, his eyes were dark and piercing, full of ruthless gloom.But the voice is elegant and soft, without any other emotions: "The rooster crows at Haishi? Could it be that Uncle Niu is living in a muddle?"

Uncle Niu obviously didn't expect Fan Yao to be so sensitive, he was tongue-tied and smiled wryly for a while: "Mr. Fan is indeed a smart person as the young lady said. But my young lady has prepared more for today's affairs. Could it be that Mr. Fan is a two-time Can't wait three days?" He leaned over and filled the copper basin with paper money, and the fire that had gradually dimmed burned violently again, and the paper money gradually burned and curled.

When the matter came to an end, Uncle Niu didn't hide it anymore, but he refused to say more.Fan Yao knew that Liu Dan was witty, so he was even more worried.Liu Dan is indeed smart, but unfortunately her experience is too shallow.It is inevitable that things are not careful enough, and most of them tend to be wishful thinking.

For example, Town God's Temple can get out of the Beggar Gang's people by clearly disregarding their relationship, but Liu Dan puts herself in danger instead.For example, the Three Gorges, it is true that crossing the river with horses is a good way, but Liu Dan never thought about whether it would be successful or not.Can horses carry people forward in water?

If he was completely ignorant of the world, it would be better to say that if he only relied on Fan Yao, nothing major would happen, and Fan Yao would be content with it.The most worrying thing is that Liu Dan's way of handling things is strange and unreasonable.Even if Fan Yao wants to obey Liu Dan's wishes and make up for her loopholes.But she didn't know what Liu Dan was going to do, and she couldn't do it even if she wanted to.

Fan Yao looked at Uncle Niu's troubled face, and after listening to these words, he knew that his previous guess was correct.He tapped his fingers on the confession, not in a hurry, but in an extremely bad mood.No matter what the reason was, Liu Dan didn't tell Fan Yao about this matter at all. Fan Yao rushed back all night, and received such a big "surprise" of Liu Dan's death head-on. It's strange to be happy.

Fan Yao was like this, the angrier he got, the calmer he became, he didn't show it at all on the surface, and he had already guessed the matter in his heart.This incident probably has something to do with the so-called Chu Sitong, the swordsman Yu Chu.Fan Yao was very suspicious. He was with Liu Dan at that time, listening to Hu Qingniu's story about Zheliumen.Doubts arose in my heart, if according to what Hu Qingniu said, Zheliumen was in civil strife at that time, swords and soldiers met, how could the two children who had not completed martial arts and studied medicine and poison escaped smoothly?

Moreover, the poison in Liu Dan's body was used by Zheliumen to destroy people's internal strength, which can be regarded as an undisclosed secret.How did the antidote become known to the two children?If so, the drug is of little use.Everyone can lift it, so where is the deterrent effect?
