"Su... Su Xian..." Ning Huan turned around stiffly, pointed at the puppet in front of him and said, "There seems to be someone in this... this thing."

"Is there someone?" Hearing this, Su Xian frowned slightly and walked to Ning Huan's side.

Seeing this, Ning Huan hurriedly shrank behind Su Xian: "This puppet's eyeballs can turn, and I, I heard a sound from inside just now." The child-like puppet asked suspiciously, "Tell me, there can't really be children here, right?"

Su Xian pursed his lips and remained silent.He frowned silently at the pool of blood dripping from the puppet's feet, his black eyes swept up and down the puppet in front of him like ice-cold obsidian, and after a long silence, he walked forward slowly.

The blade was cut in half along the puppet's interface, and the strong smell of blood rushed to the face instantly.Ning Huan stared blankly at the scene in front of him, opened his mouth for a while but couldn't speak.What is stuffed in this puppet is not a child, but an adult body.Due to the small volume, the corpse almost filled every inch of the puppet's space.All the joints were misplaced, the head was twisted in a circle, facing the direction of the back, and the whole person was folded in half along the central axis of the spine.

"Yang...Yang Qi." Ning Huan almost stumbled and called out the name of the puppet.

Yang Qi's complexion was purple, his bloodshot eyes almost burst out of the eye sockets, his eyes stared at the two of them like an iron hook with a sharp hook blade. "He...is he still alive?" Ning Huan asked helplessly, he really couldn't imagine that people could still be alive at this level.

Su Xian didn't answer, he squatted down slowly, met Yang Qi's poisonous gaze, and asked word by word: "Who made you like this?"

"Heh, heh, heh", Yang Qi made a strange sound with difficulty, only half of his bright red tongue was exposed in his open mouth, mixed with dark red blood, dripping from his jaw, continuously flowing into Su Xian and Su Xian. The puddle of blood under Ning Huan's feet was flowing.

"He can't speak." Ning Huan frowned unknowingly, and he suddenly thought of the female ghost in white that he saw that day, and it seemed to be the same.But who did Yang Qi and the female ghost in white offend?

"Is the reason for killing you related to Yang Qiong? Is it related to Sheren Town?" Su Xian changed his method and continued to ask, "If it is you, speak up."

There was a flash of surprise in Yang Qi's eyes staring at Su Xian, and the air was silent for a while, when Ning Huan and Su Xian began to consider the possibility that Yang Qi had nothing to do with Yang Qiong and She Renzhen, "Hey—— Slightly—" Yang Qi finally made a sound slowly.

"So what happened back then, are Su Jinxin and his wife still alive?" Su Xian's voice was a little unsteady, the corners of his mouth tightened, and his dark eyes were fixed on Yang Qi.

Yang Qi looked at Su Xian, and slowly opened and closed his mouth several times. Ning Huan couldn't read his lips, but he noticed that Yang Qi was repeatedly mentioning two words.The expression on Su Xian's face gradually became serious, and suddenly Yang Qi's purple lips began to tremble violently, and a large pool of blood suddenly spit out from his mouth, "tick, tick" time seemed to stand still in an instant, The drops of blood falling from his chin were still flowing into the river of blood on the ground, and there was a sense of unwillingness and despair in his wide-open eyes, and then the pupils gradually dimmed...

"What did he say to you?" Ning Huan looked at Su Xian and asked in a low voice, considering his words.

"Dragon bone." Su Xian looked back at Ning Huan, with a look of bewilderment in his eyes, and replied, "He said the word keel to me over and over again."

"What is that?" Ning Huan asked suspiciously.Su Xian shook his head, but couldn't understand.

The dim yellow candlelight flickered in the room, white candle tears dripped down slowly, the thick bloody smell floated in the air, the bright red blood pool under the feet gradually changed color, and solidified into a pool of black blood stains.The two were silent for a while, Ning Huan looked at the bottomless blackness outside the house and the scattered puppets' limbs, and asked, "Then what shall we do next?"

Su Xian's black eyes were fixed on Yang Qi's body not far away, he thought for a while and replied: "Go back to that cemetery and have a look." nodded.

When the two returned to the cemetery, all the corpse oil lamps lit in the wilderness had been extinguished, the formation of the eight trigrams formation was destroyed, and the surrounding area was swept away sporadically.The coffin under the black soil was dug out, the coffin board was lifted, and the inside of the coffin was empty, and there was no trace of Yang Qiong.

"Sure enough, it's still a step late." Su Xian didn't seem surprised, there was a look of understanding in his eyes, seeing Ning Huan's stunned expression, he casually rubbed his head and said , "Since Yang Qi and Yang Qiong are dead and the clues are broken, let's go back."

"Going back like this?" Ning Huan raised his head blankly.

Su Xian nodded, looking at the empty coffin not far away, the dark color in his eyes became more and more intense, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Well, at least it can prove that our investigation The direction is correct. And the Yang family is indeed related to She Renzhen."

Since Su Xian said so, Ning Huan could only nod: "Then go back."

At dawn, the two returned to Su Mansion.Yin Chuan was drifting out of the house, and when he saw the two of them, he was slightly surprised: "Why did your lord come back so early?" Yin Chuan asked.

Su Xian let out a casual "hmm", and his eyes fell on the direction of Su's guest room. His eyes darkened, and he asked, "Is Zhao Wanniang's health better?"

Yinchuan nodded: "I fell asleep after drinking the medicine last night, I guess I should have woken up now."

Su Xian nodded and walked towards the guest room.Seeing this, Ning Huan hastily followed.Suxian knocked on Zhao Wanniang's door: "Wanniang, I'm Suxian, is it convenient for you now?" He leaned in front of the door and whispered.But no one in the room responded.

"Could it be that you haven't woken up yet?" Ning Huan asked in a low voice.

"No way, she went to bed very early yesterday, what time is it now." Yinchuan frowned, puzzled.The door of the guest room was not bolted, and it opened a crack with a light push.

"Don't shout, the person has already left." Su Xian pushed open the door and walked in, the room was empty.

"Gone? He was still there last night." Yinchuan looked around in astonishment, only a cold quilt was left on the bed.There was still a letter she left on the small round wooden table, Su Xian picked up the letter paper and glanced at it roughly.

"What did she say?" Ning Huan leaned over and asked curiously.

"I can't wait for my reply, so I have to leave early. If I also want to go to Sheren Town, she left me a map. Sheren Town opens once every seven years, and she only waits for me there for three days."

"She's going to Sheren Town?" Ning Huan asked in surprise. He suddenly remembered Zhao Wanniang talking about the snake on her leg that night, so he asked puzzledly, "But her leg...how did she get to Sheren Town?" Human Town?"

Su Xian seemed to have thought of this earlier.His long eyelashes drooped, he stared at the red dot circled with cinnabar on the paper, and said calmly: "Then let's see what she wants to lure me to."

"You won't really go?" Ning Huan looked at Su Xian worriedly, "It might be a trap."

"So you have to stay." Su Xian stared at Ning Huan with his dark eyes, and said in a firm tone, "Ning Huan, this is my family business, you really don't need to accompany me to take risks together. That Sheren There was a lead on my parents in town, and I had to go."

Ning Huan lowered his eyes and fell silent.The thick eyelashes trembled slightly under the mottled sunlight, and the light shadows fell under the eyelids, making this face look very cute.Su Xian's tone became lighter, and he said almost coaxingly, "I'll promise you everything after I'm done with this matter."

Ning Huan snorted, his silence was not because he was easily bluffed by Su Xian.It's just that he remembered the "ghost" mentioned by the female ghost in white that day, and the meaningful phrase "there is a ghost among you" from the teahouse guests, thinking that the ghost might refer to Zhao Wanniang.Also, when it comes to snake transformation, Yang Qiong, who came out of Sheren Town with her, already has the shape of a snake, and she only has scales on her legs.But now she wants to trick Su Xian to go to Sheren Town again, Ning Huan thinks about it, but always feels something is wrong, but Su Xian refuses to let him go with her...

Ning Huan's black eyeballs rolled left and right in the eye sockets, and suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Who said it was just your family business!"

Su Xian was startled, raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Otherwise?"

Ning Huan took out the plain cloth kit that Suxian had given him from his bosom, and said loudly: "Yinchuan said, you plan to give this to your future daughter-in-law. Is it Yinchuan!" Cheer up, Ning Huan bit the word "Yinchuan" in an exceptionally correct way.

When Yinchuan heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong, and he felt extremely regretful. He knew that she would not stay to watch the theater, but now the fire has burned himself, and it is a pity that she is just a paper doll.Under Suxian's distraught expression, Yinchuan nodded stiffly, and replied: "Yes, yes."

Su Xian hugged his chest, and leaned down slightly: "What? Then Mr. Ning is planning to be my wife?" Su Xian gritted his teeth, knowing that Ning Huan's cute and cute appearance was planning something The water is broken, and I am still bewitched by him. I don't know what kind of fuss or fallacy he will make up this Subu brocade bag this time.

Su Xian was wary of Ning Huan's moth in his heart, so naturally he didn't notice what he asked.

Ning Huan was taken aback, his round eyes blinked slowly, and there was a glimmer of light reflected in the glazed eyes: "Okay." He replied.

"That's fine. Since Mr. Ning answered so straightforwardly..." In the middle of speaking, Su Xian was stunned suddenly, his eyes flickered slightly, and his black eyes looked at Ning Huan in disbelief.

Looking at each other, Ning Huan turned his head away in a panic, touched the tips of his hot ears, and said in a low voice: "You know, I...although I have no great prospects, after studying for so many years, even a The scholar didn’t pass the exam either. But,” Ning Huan held his breath, his face flushed, “but I will definitely treat you well. All my money is yours, and I’ll buy you whatever you want. Even if you want the stars in the sky, I will find a way to pick them for you. Of course, if you don't want to, we can continue to be brothers. When you marry a wife..." Ning Huan's voice paused. Bitterness gradually emerged, and the more he spoke, the more aggrieved he became, "Return your things to you, you can give it to your wife, but...but we are still good brothers, right?" Ning Huan's eyelashes trembled, and he carefully Looking at Su Xian.

Ning Huan's heart was pounding, and his palms were drenched with sweat. This was the first time he had told someone that he liked him. If...if Suxian rejected him, he...he would die!

Su Xian was slightly taken aback, his eyes overflowing with joy.He lowered his eyes, and unconsciously raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.After a while, he seemed to think of something again, bit his lip, trying to smooth the smile on his lips.He coughed lightly, with a hint of shyness in his tone, but he pretended to be strong: "What is given to you is yours, and there is no reason to go back. Who else said, Kao If you don't become a scholar, you will be worthless." His face flushed slightly, and he said softly, "My Ning Huan is very smart."

Ning Huan raised his head stupidly.

Su Xian's face turned to one side for an instant: "I'm going to visit Sanqing Mountain first, the black coffin has the runes of Sanqing Mountain on it, I have to investigate clearly before I go." Yin Chuan's expression of seeing a ghost, striding forward fled out.

"Your Excellency is back? Are you planning to go out again?" Uncle Wang looked at Su Xian who came out of the back room, slightly surprised, "What's the matter today, how can Your Excellency be so happy?"

When Uncle Wang saw Su Xian's anxious expression, he thought he would not answer, but at this moment Su Xian turned around, with a ostentatious smile on his lips, and replied: "It's nothing, just Happy."
