A beautiful lady dressed as a devil

After a simple dinner, Jiang Shuo ordered a few servants to carry hot water into the little apprentice's yard.

The medicine bag used for soaking in water was given by Qifeng. It is said that it is prepared by Siyaotang’s unique secret recipe. Soaking it once removes impurities, soaking it twice can relax the muscles and bones, and soaking it three times can help low-level disciples condense into the prototype of the spirit nucleus. , The cultivation base is advancing by leaps and bounds.

But Jiang Shuo looked at the barrel of dark medicine soup, and the pungent smell that was hard to resist even if he covered his nose, and deeply suspected that Si Yaotang had taken the wrong medicine package.

Yin Sui's face turned green.

"..." Jiang Shuo raised his sleeve and covered his nose, calmly said to the little apprentice: "The first time you need to soak for an hour, after everyone has gone out, you can go in by yourself..."

Yin Sui tried his best to suppress his desire to kill, but he couldn't hide the evil spirit in his eyes. The little girl passing by was trembling with fright, and almost dropped a few more medicine bags into the water.

After everyone settled everything, Jiang Shuo told Yin Sui a few points to pay attention to, and then he calmly turned and went out.

Yin Sui's face was dark, and he couldn't stand the turbid smell in the room, so he raised his hand and opened the windows, looking out just in time to see the back of Jiang Shuo leaving.

The cloud-like black hair is simply pulled up by the wooden hairpin, and the begonia-red robe is more colorful than the peach blossoms in bloom, but it does not look frivolous. Jiang Shuo walks slowly and leisurely. Just a back view can make people guess his elegance Noble and peerless appearance.

When Yin Sui's heart was shaking, he suddenly saw Jiang Shuo staggering.

Then Jiang Shuo straightened up, patted his chest, fanned his nose with his hand as if nothing had happened, and left with quicker pace.

Yin Sui: "..."

Really that smelly? !

Jiang Shuo felt relieved when he returned to his yard.Just now, he was so dizzy and dizzy from the smell of the medicinal soup, he couldn't even walk, his feet were limp, and he almost bumped into the peach blossom tree.

Since he lacked energy, he didn't read any more books tonight, washed up early and went to bed.Maybe it was because the medicinal soup that he had smelled before had ingredients that could help sleep and calm the mind. Jiang Shuo leaned his head on the side of the couch and looked at the account book, and at some point he fell into a sleepy dream.

The dream was not very comfortable, Jiang Shuo frowned slightly, feeling cold all the time.

But it didn't seem like it was because of the cold night wind, Jiang Shuo pulled the quilt to cover his waist in a daze, but he still felt uncomfortable.

The coldness climbed up the calf, and the heartbeat in his chest seemed to be forced to slow down. Jiang Shuo rubbed the pillow, and suddenly felt a strong force coming from his neck——

"Uh!" Jiang Shuo woke up suddenly, and the coolness on his body dissipated at the same moment, and at this moment, Qifeng's anxious voice suddenly sounded outside the small courtyard: "Master, are you asleep?"

Jiang Shuo covered his neck, coughed softly, and said hoarsely, "No, come in."

Qifeng pushed the door open and walked in, bringing in a gust of cold wind.Jiang Shuo raised his eyes, and saw that Qifeng's robe, which had always been calm, was in a mess, as if he had come in a hurry, and his hair was not even tied up, but tied up with a light-colored ribbon.

"Master, are you alright?" Qi Feng took a breath, and hurriedly said: "Just now the night watch disciples came to report that a corpse was found at the junction of the Qutai and the outer mountain road——"

Halfway through his speech, he stopped suddenly.

Jiang Shuo was puzzled: "Why..."

Qi Feng took a step forward, and under Jiang Shuo's blank gaze, raised her hand to gently caress his throat.

Qifeng's gentle eyes revealed a murderous intent: "Then the demon cultivator did something to you?"

Jiang Shuo didn't understand what he meant, until Qifeng brought the bronze mirror beside him and found five obvious pinch marks on his neck, which had already turned blue. No wonder he always felt uncomfortable in his throat.

"I fell asleep just now," Jiang Shuo knew the seriousness of the matter, and said frankly to Qi Feng, "I didn't notice that someone entered the room, but I did have the feeling of being strangled in my dream."

It was only a split second, and Jiang Shuo disappeared without a trace as soon as he realized it.According to common sense, the pinch marks in such a short period of time should not be so serious...

Jiang Shuo casually picked up a high-necked robe and put it on, and said softly, "Leave that aside, what did you just say?"

Qifeng collected himself and said: "A body that was killed not long ago was found on the mountain road connecting Qutai and Foreign Affairs, and the heads of all the halls have been sent to identify it."

Jiang Shuo asked as he walked out, "Did you see the figure of that demon cultivator?"

Qi Feng didn't know why, she was silent for a while, and then said: "Yes."

Jiang Shuo pushed open the door, and could faintly hear the commotion outside the courtyard, and asked casually, "Who saw it? What does it look like?"

Qi Feng recalled: "It happened to be a disciple of the punishment hall who was watching the night and saw it. According to his description, this demon is dressed in white clothes, looks like a very young boy, and his movements are flexible and changeable, but because of the hazy night, Didn't see his face clearly."

Jiang Shuo walked out of the yard and saw a group of people gathered outside, and the light from the lanterns made Qutai look like daytime.Jiang Shuo scanned around for a while, and suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Where's Yu Yun?"

The little apprentice's yard is separated from here by a small peach blossom forest, so it is impossible for him not to hear such a big commotion.Even if you are soaking in a medicated bath, at this point, you should have finished soaking.

Qi Feng narrowed her eyes and said in a low voice, "Disciple, let's look for it now."

"No need." Jiang Shuo slightly raised his hand and said, "Stay here, lead the people from different halls to stand in different places, let them send someone to identify the corpse first, I will be back soon."

Qi Feng suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, and asked in a very soft tone: "Is my wife planning to cover Yu Yun?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shuo looked at Qi Feng indifferently for a moment, then turned his head and casually nodded to a few disciples surrounding him, and said, "You all come with me."

Seeing Jiang Shuo leading a few disciples to the small courtyard where Yin Sui lived, Qi Fengcai let go of his tightly clenched hands, and let out a heavy sigh of relief that was stuffy in his heart.

Jiang Shuo moved quickly, and arrived outside Yin Sui's yard in a short while.

There was a candle burning inside, and the unspeakable smell of medicine was still wafting in the air. Jiang Shuo walked in without changing his face, and knocked on the door first, with a calm voice: "Yu Yun, open the door."

There was no movement in the bedroom, and the disciples behind Jiang Shuo looked at each other, not knowing what they were doing.

Jiang Shuo stretched out his hand and pushed the door, but found that it seemed to be blocked, so he took two steps back and said to the disciple next to him, "Kick the door open."

Disciples: "..."

Amid the loud sound of kicking the door, the pungent smell of medicine rushed out, and several disciples all turned green and retreated one after another.

And Jiang Shuowang was startled when he saw a figure in the bathtub in the center of the bedroom, tripped over the big bathtub in haste, and poured out a large jet of dark green medicinal soup——

The disciples around Jiang Shuo ran away and fled far away to the edge of the courtyard before stopping.

Jiang Shuo: "."

He used a barrier method jerkyly to himself, barely blocking the strange smell of medicine, walked two steps into the little apprentice's bedroom, and saw Yin Sui was putting on a coat in a panic.

"..." Jiang Shuo glanced at him subconsciously, as if he saw everything, but also seemed to see nothing.

Yin Sui stood in the medicine soup on the ground, wrapped in his outer robe indiscriminately, his face was still reddish, and the black hair on his cheeks was also wet, as pitiful as a puppy drowning in water, he said in a helpless tone: "Master, you……"

Jiang Shuo blushed suddenly.

"..." Jiang Shuo turned his body sideways, and shifted his gaze to other places, "Hurry up and get dressed and come out, I have something to ask you."

Yin Sui narrowed his eyes slightly.

He actually fell asleep in the medicinal soup just now, which contained very few sleep-promoting ingredients, and his body became lazy after removing impurities, so he unconsciously dozed off in the bucket.

But thinking about it now, it feels weird—Yin Sui has always been vigilant, so he wouldn't just fall asleep because of this little sleeping aid.

While Yin Sui was thinking about something, he heard a noise not far away, as if something had happened.

His instincts were not good.

This intuition was quickly verified.

Standing outside the yard, Jiang Shuo saw Yin Sui's neat and clean pure white robe, and didn't speak for a while.

The school uniforms of Jiuhua's disciples are moon white, which is quite different from pure white.The little apprentice was still wearing a white robe, mainly because Si Yitang didn't send over the school uniform that fit his body size in time.

In other words, there are not many people who often wear pure white clothes in Jiuhua.

Jiang Shuo pondered for a while, then asked Yin Sui, "Where have you been all this time?"

Yin Sui replied honestly, "I'm taking a medicinal bath."

Jiang Shuo looked at him: "I remember you didn't like the taste of that medicinal soup very much."

The young man pursed his lips, seemed very unhappy, his eyelashes drooped and he didn't know what he was thinking.Jiang Shuo waited patiently for a while before he heard him say, "But it was Shi Niang who asked me to soak."

Yin Sui stared at the ground under his feet, and said in a low voice, "So I stayed inside until just now."

Jiang Shuo: "Where are the little girls who put the medicine packs for you?"

Yin Sui: "They all think it stinks, and they ran away long ago, how would I know."

His tone was not very good, but he still answered Jiang Shuo's question clearly.When he was talking, he didn't want to meet Jiang Shuo's eyes, and only used his fingers to touch the thin red string hanging around his neck.

At the end of the red rope was tied an ordinary sapphire, which was the "spiritual protection jade" given to him by Jiang Shuo. There was an extremely faint white light lingering on the jade, proving the existence of small spells inside.

Jiang Shuo looked at the jade for a moment, and remembered that the little apprentice had been wearing it for a while.

As long as it is a gift from him, Yin Sui always keeps it by his side no matter what is useful or not.For example, the few scripts he keeps under his pillow every day.

Jiang Shuo suddenly sighed lightly.

"Get your house in order before you come out," he said. "I'm just on the other side of the woods."

After Jiang Shuo led his disciples back, Qi Feng was standing in the middle of the open space beside the Qutai, and there was a person lying flat on the ground. Jiang Shuo glanced at him and was startled.

It can no longer be called a "person", the flesh and blood in the body seems to have been forcibly hollowed out, leaving a piece of human skin clinging to the bones, the head is twisted at an abnormal angle, Jiang Shuo looked at it more After a while, Qifeng whispered:

"The neck was broken, it was more severe than last time."

After the identification of the various halls, the identity of this disciple has been confirmed. He is a young herb-collecting disciple of the Siyao Hall. Tonight, he specially went to the side of the mountain road to collect pollen medicinal materials that can only be seen at night, and he agreed to go back before the curfew.

Elder Sister Si Yaotang's beautiful eyes were red, she gritted her teeth and said, "I am asking Immortal Jiang to investigate clearly, my junior brother can't just die like this for nothing!"

Someone shouted from behind: "Have you not found out who was killed last time? How many disciples do we have in Jiuhua waiting to be murdered by this demon cultivator?"

"Then who is the demon cultivator? How can there be demons in the sect..."

"Could it be that someone has been mixed into the sect recently..."

The noise gradually became louder, and Jiang Shuo was about to speak, when he heard someone shouting, "I implore Immortal Master Dongyan to come out and preside over the investigation!"

This request received a unanimous response from everyone. Jiang Shuo knelt down in front of Jiang Shuo, with tense or anxious faces, and they all shouted together: "Immortal Master Dongyan please come out!"

Qi Feng said in a deep voice: "Master's retreat period has not yet expired, so it is impossible to invite him out rashly. This matter will be thoroughly investigated from today, and the demon will not hurt anyone in Jiuhua again!"

Qifeng still has a high prestige in the sect. After his words were spoken, everyone's agitated emotions gradually calmed down, remembering that it was really inconvenient to ask Dongyan to leave the customs.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Qi Feng took a few steps forward. Before he was about to speak, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the peach blossom forest.

Yin Sui was wearing a white robe, walking out of the peach blossom forest lightly.The young man wore a high ponytail, and his skin was white and red in the night. With his hands behind his back, ignoring everyone's gaze, he walked quickly to Jiang Shuo and called him in a low voice, "Master, I'm here."

"..."

The surroundings suddenly fell into silence, and even the private whispers of the disciples disappeared.Except for Jiang Shuo, everyone stared straight at the boy who appeared last.

Yin Sui: "???"

What are these idiots doing looking at me like this?
