Yi Qingchen walked under the stele and looked at it for a while. He felt a sense of familiarity as if he had passed away. He wanted to continue recalling the past about this stele. A glare of lantern light pierced his eyes. Someone in the distance said, "Another drug thief? Is he the fourth one tonight? Catch him!"

Yi Qingchen thinks that if he is caught right now, he will be taken to the elders or high-ranking disciples for interrogation, and whether it is the elders or the disciples of Shen's generation, they have basically seen their own appearance, so they must not meet.Immediately, there was wind under the feet, and he jumped into the forest in the blink of an eye, climbed up the tree in twos and threes, and crawled among the intricate branches and leaves. And so on, and left.

Yi Qingchen waited on the tree for a while, but when no one came, he jumped down from the treetop, intending to turn back, but before he could get out of the bushes, he bumped into the faceless ghost and stabbed the two mountain patrollers to death In the picture of the disciple, the Faceless Ghost did not leave immediately after killing the two, but looked around vigilantly.

Yi Qingchen hurriedly knelt down to hide his body, and after a rustling movement, the voices of other Lingshan disciples came from a distance, "Hey, isn't this the area where the junior brothers and the others are in charge? Where are the people? I won’t be lazy again, hey, I will know how to be lazy at any time, the sect is in such a mess..."

"Hey, senior brother calm down, maybe he went somewhere else, I'll look for it later."

After the movement disappeared completely, Yi Qingchen poked his head out slowly, and only after confirming that it was completely safe, did he walk out of the bushes, walked to the place where the Faceless Ghost stabbed the two disciples to death, and took out a handful from his sleeve. I lit the fire, and found that there was a pool of black blood on the ground here. The black blood outlined a curled human figure, which was slowly being absorbed by the ground. If you don't look carefully, it is really difficult to see the traces, and the black blood is not Nothing weird.

Yi Qingchen knelt down, pinched a handful of soil in front of his nose and sniffed lightly, he could only smell a faint fishy smell, which was shallower than the smell of blood bleeding from hands when cutting vegetables.

"Hehe, Yi Baixue..." A female voice came from the wind, and the night wind came from behind. Yi Qingchen immediately got up and turned his head, but only vaguely saw a black shadow in the thick night. He ran into the woods and disappeared.

Yi Qingchen was beating in his heart, he couldn't tell whether the person who came was good or evil, and he didn't dare to follow easily. To be safe, he chose the way he came and prepared to go back. He didn't want to walk a few steps just now, and the black shadow was not far away again Calling to myself everywhere, "Yi Baixue..."

Yi Qingchen hesitated for a moment, and finally took a step towards the black shadow, and the black shadow led Yi Qingchen all the way up the mountain, and whenever Yi Qingchen wanted to give up halfway, the black shadow would call his name not far away No., when Yi Qingchen was about to catch up with the black shadow, a light as bright as day came into view, and he had unknowingly walked to the periphery of the Medicine Sect, and the black shadow had disappeared.

Yi Qingchen vaguely felt that there was a taste of conspiracy, but since he had come to the Medicine Sect, it would be unreasonable to return empty-handed, and he should somehow figure out what happened in the Medicine Sect.

With such thoughts in mind, Yi Qingchen flew up to the wall and searched all the way from the top of the glazed tile wall, deftly avoiding the patrolling guards, and only relying on his unclear memory to search for the direction of the Hall of Si Li.

In Yi Qingchen's memory, the Medicine Sect has 33 hills, of which the seven peaks are named after the name of the elders, each of the four major ceremonial halls occupies one, and the other 22 are either used for retreat or for cultivating herbs. deserted.Among them, Shen Sheng's Hall of Justice is in Qingling Peak in the northwest, and Shen Yi's Hall of Rites is in Tusu Peak in the northeast. The two peaks are far apart and connected by a suspension bridge. , Most of them will struggle due to weak legs.

Yi Qingchen managed to find the cable bridge leading to the Hall of Rites, but found that there were guards on both sides of the entrance of the cable bridge, and there was nothing around that could be used as a cover. Naturally, it was impossible to sneak onto the bridge. Thinking about how to proceed, there was a sound of fighting coming from the direction of the main hall.

The two disciples guarding the bridge looked at me and at you, both a little curious.It happened that a patrolling disciple came from the place where the accident happened, and the two hurriedly stopped her to ask what happened. The patrolling disciple said, "That faceless ghost was caught by the guards, and we will beat her seriously." , I am going to report this matter to Master!"

After the disciple who reported the letter ran away, the remaining two guards looked at each other, and one of them suggested, "How about I go and take a look? After I see what's going on, I'll let you look at it?" The other said He replied, "Okay, go and come back quickly, show me what that faceless ghost looks like!"

Yi Qingchen was sitting on the glazed tiles, hearing the conversation between the two, he just found it a little funny, guards guarding like them, what can they guard?Then he broke off a fragment from the glazed tile, weighed it in the palm of his hand, gathered strength between his fingers and threw it, and hit the acupuncture point of the remaining guard, the guard fell down and passed out, Yi Qingchen helped him to a corner Hidden inside, went straight to the rope bridge.

The cable bridge is long and dark, and you need to pay attention to the strength of your feet when running on it. Otherwise, if you use too much force, the bridge body will sway greatly. If you are not careful, you may fall off the bridge and fall into the abyss , At that time, there will be no bones left, and the gods will be hard to save.

He ran up to Tusu Peak in one breath, hid in the shadow of the bushes, bypassed the guards who were [-]% smaller than the main peak, and found the Hall of Rites with seven palaces.There were also guards guarding the gate of the hall, and Yi Qingchen waited on a tree beside him, observing the regularity of the changing of the guards, calculating whether there was a gap to sneak in, and waited for half an hour.

Just as he was falling asleep while waiting, a familiar voice sounded from the square in front of the Hall of Priests.

The person who spoke was Ruhui and another disciple, who also came to report the arrest of the Faceless Ghost. From the disciple's narration, we can know that the Faceless Ghost committed suicide by taking poison on the spot, only to end up The pool of black blood, why it came here, and who was ordered by it is unknown.

The remaining black blood has been handed over to the disciples who are in charge of the autopsy for inspection. The suzerain conveyed this matter to everyone in order to hope that when the medicine-spraying conference is approaching, the hearts of all peaks will be more stable, and disciples like Shen Yi don't need to deliberately dissect it. Went to the main peak.

After the disciple who sent the message finished speaking, he rushed towards Qingling Peak along another cable bridge, Ruhui stood there for a while, yawned lazily, and prepared to go back to the hall to report the matter to Shen Yi. Seeing that the opportunity was about to slip, Qingchen picked up another stone and threw it at him. Ruohui was hit once in his life, first he let out an "ouch" and then looked around, "Who, who sneaked up on this girl!"

Yi Qingchen supported his forehead and shook his head. The guard disciples heard Ruhui's shout, and hurried forward to ask, "Sister Ruhui, what's wrong with you?" Throwing stones at me seems to be coming from that direction, you go and check, don't be a thief again!"

The right hand is pointing at the exact opposite direction to where Yi Qingchen is.

After the two guards left, Ruhui walked cautiously towards the grass where Yi Qingchen was, covered his mouth and called softly, "Rutang? Bring me supper again, if the elder finds out that the kitchen has lost steamed buns..."

His eyes just met Yi Qingchen, and Ruhui jumped up immediately in fright, "Grand, lord, lord, lord? Why did you come up here! Didn't senior brother ask you to come back in three days?"

Yi Qingchen made a silent gesture on his lips, "It's not the place to talk right now." If he understood, he looked back vigilantly, then hooked his hands at Yi Qingchen, and sent him to the Palace of Rites The rear lead.

The two walked around a flower garden, walked up to send away the two guards who were guarding here, led Yi Qingchen up the stone steps, circled around, and walked around to an inconspicuous wooden door, holding it in his arms. He took out a key to unlock the door, pushed the door in, and carefully locked the door after Yi Qingchen entered the room.

The two of them seemed to be in a study room, if they would push open the carved wooden door leading to the lobby, they poked their heads out to check, and after confirming that there was no one there, they waved to Yi Qingchen just now, making Yi Qingchen follow behind .

Yi Qingchen followed Ruhui through a spacious aisle, passed a magnificent lobby, and then walked into another aisle, walked all the way to the end, and came to the door of a brightly lit room.Ruhui knocked on the door, and Shen Yi's voice came from inside, "Who?" Ruhui pushed the door open, "Senior Sister is me, Ruhui."

Yi Qingchen followed Ruhui into the door, and saw Shen Yi was burying her head in front of the desk, writing something diligently, and there were two stacks of similar letters in her hand, one was written and the other was unwritten , Ruhui looked at Shen Yi distressedly, then turned to look at Yi Qingchen, "My lord, you saw that, senior sister is so busy."

Yi Qingchen was about to express his agreement, when the guy Shen Yi heard the word "Young Master", pulled his head out of the letter, stared blankly at Yi Qingchen, and said in disbelief, "Young Master, why are you here?"

Yi Qingchen then told the series of encounters that Boss Shen ran into the Faceless Ghost in his shop, was chased to the foot of the Lingshan Mountain, and was led up the mountain by a black shadow. He also mentioned the two disciples who were stabbed to death by the Faceless Ghost Shen Yi listened to the matter, frowned and thought for a moment, and said to him, "You pass the password to the guards at the gate, let them go to the execution side to ask for some people, and go down the mountain together to check and see if there are indeed disciples." Missing, we must find out where the traces of the black blood that the young master said."

After Ruhui left, Shen Yi fell into deep thought again, "According to what Young Master said, the reason why you appear in Lingshan today is more like someone deliberately guiding you?"

Yi Qingchen nodded and said, "Probably so."

Shen Yi put the brush back into the pen holder, leaned back on the wicker chair, and said with a headache, "This faceless ghost started to make trouble when he returned to Lingshan. Wandering around the disciple's room, and finally went to the Linglou where the tablet is placed. You said that it is fine to do it at night, but it was in broad daylight. From the time we went back to the mountain until dusk, you said that Lingshan is so big. , how can she run like that? She even ran down the mountain at night to find you, Young Master..."

At this point, Shen Yi noticed that Yi Qingchen's complexion was not looking good, so she also realized something.Yi Qingchen lowered his eyes for a moment, and said a terrible conclusion, "According to what you said, there may be at least three of these faceless ghosts..."

The night wind passed through the hall, blowing the pages of the scrolls on the case. Shen Yi pressed the letter with an inkstone, got up and went outside, and called an errand disciple, "Please go find the suzerain and tell him that he has no face. There may be more than one ghost, if you encounter a suspicious figure on the road, remember to run to a crowded place."

After passing the word that the disciple left, Shen Yi went back to the room, and Yi Qingchen sat on the armchair for receiving guests by himself. When he saw Shen Yi coming back, he asked her a question, "You Medicine Sect, you are all happy to let the disciples come back in the middle of the night. Do you only pass on the message?"

Shen Yi thought about it and felt that something was wrong, so she walked to the half-closed window, which was right above the main entrance of the Hall of Rites. Standing here, one could have a panoramic view of the square in front of the Hall of Rites. When they reached the square, Shen Yi called him, "Ruhuai, just to be safe, find another person to go with you!"

But Ruhuai waved her hands fearlessly, patted her chest and assured, "Senior Sister, don't you trust me? Even if there are three or four faceless ghosts, I can beat them to the ground!"

Regardless of Shen Yi's exhortation, she ran into the night in a hurry.
