Queen's Detective

There is no gap in this world that Xia Tan cannot cross, and there is no mountain that Xia Tan cannot overcome.The same is true of Luoyan Valley, and of course the same is true of the small Wuya Mountain.

Abai asked Bai Yong to go back to the White Mansion first, and told Amon to inquire about the latest movements of the Tianhua Sect, while he himself came to Wuya Mountain again, standing in front of the chaotic rocks, looking at the completely dried up water, holding his breath. eyebrows pensive.

I have searched all over the past four weeks, and there is nothing special about it, but why did the accident last night happen here alone?

Yes, and that cut-off water source, where did it come from?Seeing how Li Qing struggled to pull the rocks and dirt yesterday, it seemed that this current could guide him in the direction.

The rock collapsed and the water flow was cut off. Could it be that the source of the water flow was behind the rock?

It seems that there is only one explanation.

The mountain wind swayed the corners of his clothes, and in the next breath, he had already stepped on the rocky mountain that looked so high into the sky, and quickly climbed to the top.

It is said that it is the summit, but in fact there is still a long way to go from the real highest peak.Toothless Mountain is more like a stretch of hills. If you climb over this mountain, there may be thousands of others behind it.

The mountain wind was cold on the top, and Ah Bai searched carefully, but there seemed to be nothing here except rocks and weeds.

"Huh..." Ah Bai took a deep breath, and the five-sense ban Dafa was activated.

In Ah Bai's world, only the sound of the wind was left.Winds from everywhere, from the nine heavens, or from his feet.

Yes, the wind can tell him facts that the eyes cannot see.

Feeling it quietly for a long time, so long that Ah Bai seemed to be breathing with the mountains and rivers, he suddenly opened his eyes, walked along the route of the wind he had just sensed, walked to a certain place, knelt down, and slapped it with his palm!

The rocks under his feet suddenly began to vibrate, and almost instantly, the place where A-Bai was located suddenly collapsed, and A-Bai also fell down!

At the same time, Li Qing, who was arranged to rest in the White Mansion, suddenly opened the door and walked out. Seeing that there was no one in the courtyard, he went straight through the courtyard without stopping.

"Squeak—" The old wooden door made a sound, he stepped over the threshold, stepped on the peach petals falling outside the door, and then turned around to close the door.

Inside the slowly closed back door, that bookish face showed a peach-like smile again.

The door of this compartment closed, but the door of that compartment opened again.

Guanshi Yuan, who went to invite Ah Bai to pass the mansion that day, led a person from the remote alley directly opposite the back door of Li Mansion, opened the side door and went in, still showing arrogance in his bones, but he no longer dared to show it in his expression Half a point—he was also afraid of these Jianghu people who were always fighting and killing at every turn.

"Fang Xiashi, the old lady is inside, please."

This person was Fang Tianshuo, a disciple of the Tianhua School who met Abai by chance that day, he cupped his hands and pushed the door open.The old lady in fine clothes was still kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, twirling the beads with her eyes closed, muttering words with a solemn expression.

Fang Tianshuo watched and glanced at the lotus futon under her seat, and had the illusion that this old lady was more like a Buddha than a Buddha statue.

"Meet Mrs. Li."

Mrs. Li recited the scriptures devoutly, and it took a long time before she responded, "Sit down."

But Fang Tianshuo didn't dare to sit down easily, and still kept standing, saying: "You don't need to sit down. I'm so disturbed this time. I just want to ask a few questions. I hope the old lady can clear up my doubts."

Old Madam Li still had her eyes closed, but her hand twisting the prayer beads was already on her knees, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this, old madam, you also know that the seniors I sent had an inseparable relationship with the late Master Li, so I want to ask."

"Lord Li?" Mrs. Li suddenly interrupted him, "My son has passed away for many years, I really don't know why you wait for people from the Jianghu to come here. My Li family has been an official for generations, why have I ever had anything to do with you?"

"But old lady, what I said is absolutely true. Master Li did have a good relationship with that senior before his death, and there is a token to prove it. I came here this time not to seek any relationship. I just want to get back the sword of our school. I don't know Can the old lady help the deceased for the sake of the face of the deceased?"

"So, it's okay." Mrs. Li said, reaching out to fiddle with the small incense burner in front of her, "You can stay at my house first, and I will notify you when there is news."

Fang Tianshuo quickly declined and said no, this small dark Buddhist hall made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he planned to leave after asking.But while he was talking, he suddenly felt dizzy.Just as he was thinking about what was going on, he suddenly realized that his internal energy was no longer functioning, his whole body was top-heavy, and his consciousness gradually became confused.

He suddenly looked at Mrs. Li, "Old lady, you!"

Mrs. Li looked back at him quietly, her cloudy eyes were filled with nothing from past to present.

When she saw that Fang Tianshuo was finally defeated by the medicine and collapsed, she slowly turned her head, closed her eyes, twiddled the beads, and said, "Amitabha."

At this moment, Abai raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

At the top of the mountain rock shelter, a gap suddenly opened—that was the place where he just fell.

The skylight spilled from the gap, projected straight down, and landed on a pear tree that was just about to bloom.At the end of the year in the mountains, the flowers and trees have not yet bloomed, the bright sky is hazy and blurred by the surrounding darkness, and the surrounding flower buds are smudged with brilliance.Occasionally, a drop of water fell from the cracks in the rocks on the top, "tick", and fell on the white petals, or under the pear tree, on the ancient sword on the slanting tomb.

A tree, a grave, and an ancient sword.

This is the secret hidden behind the collapsed rock. Ah Bai walked over slowly, knelt down and stroked the dust off the sword. The sword, quietly guarding the tomb of someone who does not know, has not rusted for many years.

This is a good sword, and its owner should not be some unknown person, but Abai searched hard, but couldn't think of any hero in the world who would be buried here in the end.

He stood up again and looked around.

Except for this small piece of heaven and earth favored by the sky, the rest of the place is very dark. Ah Bai used the five senses to block Dafa again, and finally found something else in the darkness.

It was a dilapidated log cabin, with one corner collapsed, cobwebs stretched out at the door, and the bells hanging under the eaves had long lost their ringing, and were covered in thick dust, making it difficult to be blown.

Because the wind no longer patronizes here.

The sky above the head was gradually covered by clusters of vines, and the sky became less and less bright, so no one came here anymore.

Ah Bai thought he might be the first one, pushed open the creaking wooden door that seemed to be about to collapse in a second, and peeked into the room.The furnishings in the room looked like ordinary people's, very simple. A Bai opened the cupboard, and the three bowls were stacked in order from the largest to the smallest, showing how many people there were in this secluded home.

a family of three?

Ah Bai suddenly thought of the tomb outside, how many people were buried in that tomb?Looking at these three bowls, the children in them must be young. Are they all dead?If they are all dead, who will help them bury them?

The point is, there is nothing in this wooden house that can prove their identity.

What exactly are they?

After thinking about it, Abai fell into deep thought.When I came back to my senses, I had been here for a long time without knowing it.It was meaningless to sit down any longer, and Ah Bai couldn't do any random digging of graves, so he decided to go back and investigate first.

But just as he practiced lightness kung fu and jumped out of the hole, a hand suddenly stretched out and supported his leaning forward body.He fought back vigilantly, but the sense of familiarity overwhelmed him made him stop his movements instinctively, allowing himself to throw himself into the arms of that person.

Looking up, "My lord? Why are you here?"

Although the tone was calm and restrained, Li Yan still heard surprise from it.

He embraced the person he hadn't seen for a long time, and buried his head in the crescent of his neck. It seemed that the world was filled with the breath of his beloved Xia Tan, which made him jump for joy.

"My lord?" Ah Bai hugged his back with his backhand, his tone was helpless, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.In fact, he didn't need to ask him to know that it must be His Royal Highness the regent who became more and more like a naughty boy, who couldn't bear the loneliness and ran out of the palace again.

But Abai didn't want to reprimand him, because it was the first time we separated in these years, and he missed it very much.

After a long hug, Li Yan let him go, looked at the hole again, and said, "My heartless champion, you left me alone in Chang'an, I thought you came to Jiangzhou to play in the mountains and rivers, why? Have you come to heaven and earth again?"

Ah Bai rubbed his nose, "It's a long story, let's talk as we walk."

On the way, Abai told Li Yan all the things he had seen and heard these days. Li Yan frowned slightly thoughtfully, and before they reached the foot of the mountain, he saw Amon coming up from the mountain path, "My lord, Mr. Bai, Li Qing is gone."

There was no smile on Amon's face. What happened this time was completely his fault.But in fact, even Ah Bai did not expect that Li Qing, who was relying on him, would suddenly leave on his own?So they didn't send someone to guard them at all.

"Is there a clue?" Ah Bai frowned slightly.

"I tracked him all the way, and some people said that he was seen all the way to the east of the city."

"East of the city?" Ah Bai remembered that Li Mansion was in the east of the city.

Amon nodded, obviously he also thought of this, "I have sent someone to Li Mansion to confirm, so it is strange, so I came here to report first."

A Bai and Li Yan exchanged glances, and immediately rushed back to the city.

As soon as they stepped into the White Mansion, the subordinates who had been waiting early in the morning clasped their fists and reported, "Li Qing has indeed returned to Li Mansion."

"But you walked in openly?" Li Yan asked.

"Yes, my lord."

This is strange, Li Qingming refused to go home before, why did he suddenly change his mind?

"Since you don't understand, you might as well go and have a look." Li Yan said, holding the folding fan behind his back, and walked away as soon as he said it.

Abai smiled, and followed.

A moment later, Li Mansion in the east of the city.

Amon, who had regained the appearance of Maitreya Buddha, stepped forward to knock on the door, and it was the steward Yuan Tong who came to open the door. He was about to go out under orders, but when he opened the door, he saw the barbaric follower with a smiling face like a tiger. If you don't hit it, you want to close the door with your backhand.

However, a hand protruding from the red wide sleeve firmly pressed against the vermilion gate.The owner of that hand has a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, and is looking at him with a smile, "Do you want to close the door of this king?"

Very good, you have successfully attracted my king's attention.

A large expanse of flamboyant crimson came into view, and Yuan Tong's brain returned to the original primordial for a moment.

Then he opened his mouth wide in surprise, "You are, king, king, prince?!"

"Yes, it's the king." Li Yan blinked narrowly, then pushed the door hard, flicked his sleeves and turned his back again, walked in casually, sighing as he walked, "It seems I have lived in Chang'an for a long time, and the people outside have almost forgotten me, alas."

Sighing, he turned his head to look at A Bai again, "The number one scholar still remembers me, right?"

This mind is so small, how long will A Bai remember the matter of him staying in Chang'an?

A Bai smiled helplessly, "Yes, even if there is an afterlife, I dare not forget it."

Li Yan nodded, slightly satisfied.

Only then did Yuan Tong come to his senses, thinking of going in to report as soon as possible.But how fast are Li Yan and A Bai?Without giving him a chance to report, he had already entered the inner courtyard.

But the strange thing is that they didn't meet a servant of Li's mansion along the way, and they were about to ask Yuan Tong who was trotting behind him all the way, but they heard a strange noise suddenly came from deeper in the courtyard.

A Bai and Li Yan looked at each other, and the two figures, one red and one white, followed the sound and went away in an instant.

Yuan Tong ran out of breath and couldn't stop him. He turned to look at Amon, who would have thought that this man would also smile and walk away.Yuan Tong jumps his feet——I'm so angry!

In the deepest part of the inner courtyard, in front of a small blue-tiled building, Mrs. Li, who was hunched and leaning on a dragon-headed crutch, was glaring at Li Qing who was kneeling on the ground, her voice was hoarse, but it was so heavy that it made people tremble, "You, you! How long will you be obsessed with obsession?! Why can't you be like an ordinary person, do you have to piss grandma to death?!"

"Grandmother, I..." Li Qing looked up at her, his face was pale, but his black eyes were full of firmness, "Grandmother, please don't do this again, don't find me a doctor again, I Not sick, really not sick!"

"You!" Mrs. Li was so angry that every silver thread was trembling, she wanted to lift up the crutch several times and hit it hard, but looking at Li Qing's face, she couldn't bear it.

Turning around, she angrily ordered the servants, "Throw all those things into the pool for me! Lock up the young master for me, and no one is allowed to let him out without my permission!"

The servants responded quickly, and no one dared to say a word.However, Li Qing's eyes suddenly widened. When he saw a nurse pick up a wooden box on the ground and was about to throw it into the koi pond in front of the small building, a force burst out from the bottom of his heart, causing him to break free. Under the restraint of the two maidservants beside him, he staggered and rushed over.

"do not want!"

Yet it was too late.

With a splash, the wooden box fell into the water, causing a huge splash.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li finally relieved the grievance in her chest a little.But what she didn't expect was that Li Qing jumped down without hesitation!

"Qing'er!" Mrs. Li suddenly turned pale with shock, and the servants were also in a mess.

However, Li Qing turned a deaf ear to it, choked on several mouthfuls of water, and still struggled to swim towards the sinking wooden box, as if he could only see that wooden box in his eyes.
