Self-cultivation in the world of monster hunting

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, and Lu Xiang and Sijun looked at each other with astonishment in their eyes.

Obviously there have been a lot of physical contact, but under such a little touch, Lu Xiang feels that Sijun is not holding him for a few times, but dragging his heart for several times, Otherwise, how could it make his heart feel so wrong?

Then Lu Xiang suddenly raised his arm and pushed Sijun back. Sijun let go of Lu Xiang, and immediately stood up, with his back facing Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang was still sitting on the ground, feeling a little indescribably happy, but more of an unknown panic.He felt in a trance that the relationship between himself and Sijun had reached a strange situation, as if they were very close, but at the same time seemed to be far away, which made him happy, but at the same time made him fearful.

Lu Xiang couldn't understand his own mood at the moment, but just looked at Sijun's back blankly, but couldn't see his face, his expression, or what he was thinking.

After a while, Sijun turned his head, and what Lu Xiang saw was still an expressionless face.

In an instant, Lu Xiang couldn't help being disappointed, not to mention that he didn't touch his mouth just now, even if he did, he would still put on such an indifferent face.

For a moment, Lu Xiang didn't know what he should be able to say to Sijun, so he could only stare at him. In this delicate atmosphere, fortunately, Xingyuan stepped forward to smooth things over. He deliberately exaggerated: " Are you planning to look at each other like this until next year? Do you want to see what is hidden under the floor tiles?"

Lu Xiang quickly regained his senses, and turned his head to see that the red light had nailed several long and deep scratches on the bed frame.

Lu Xiang hurriedly calmed down, forcibly changed the subject, and said embarrassingly: "Huh... Qin Huaiqiu is indeed quite powerful, and the murderer who killed him is stronger than him, and I don't know how he compares to Sijun?"

Sijun didn't make a sound, and Lu Xiang didn't dare to look at him again, and moved to the side of the secret compartment guiltily to see what was hidden there.

There was only a small pit less than one foot long under the floor tiles, but the things in the pit gave Lu Xiang a chill on his back. The embarrassment and discomfort just now disappeared, but now he just feels a little panicked.

It was a puppet dressed in fancy clothes, its appearance was really lifelike, its big eyes made people's scalp tingle, and the painful expression on its face was also very real.In addition, the villain's chest and stomach are covered with silver needles, especially in several large acupuncture points, which are densely packed.

"This doll is so real..." Xingyuan closed half of the petals, and said uncomfortably, "From the outfit, it looks like a woman who has left the court, it's a bit weird..."

"It's a little scary..." Lu Xiang was also uneasy and backed away again and again.

Only Sijun was not afraid, and calmly picked up the villain for a closer look, and then the three of them discovered that the villain's back was written with the character of birthday,

"It's witchcraft!" Xingyuan exclaimed in surprise, "Who is Qin Huaiqiu cursing?"

Sijun looked at the villain carefully, and said: "It's not ordinary witchcraft. This villain's body is wrapped with blood-red thread, which is quite vicious witchcraft. In terms of Qin Huaiqiu's spiritual power, he Casting a spell can not only make the person under the curse die suddenly, but also continue to curse the person's soul, making it difficult for him to die."

Xingyuan immediately showed disgust and said: "Qin Huaiqiu is too shameless! Who is he cursing? Wouldn't it be good if he had the ability to fight openly?"

Lu Xiang's face was heavy, and he said, "How did the adopted daughter of the Qin family, Miss Qin Shuyue, die?"

"It is said that it is because of dystocia and hemorrhage..." Xingyuan understood what Lu Xiang meant when he said this, and said, "So the eldest lady Qin Shuyue is not really having a dystocia, but because she was cursed by Qin Huaiqiu!"

After finishing speaking, the three of them were silent.

This seemingly calm Qin family is also turbulent inside.

Thinking of the lively and lovely iron bucket, Lu Xiang felt a little sad, and quickly said to Sijun: "Break this spell soon, so that the eldest lady can leave with peace of mind."

Sijun squeezed the villain with his right hand, a silver light bloomed in his hand, he shook his head, and said: "The spell has been broken, the puppet left here is just a piece of waste fabric, useless gone."

Xingyuan was very strange, and said: "Did Qin Huaiqiu break it himself? Since it's already broken, why put this thing here?"

Lu Xiang shook his head, and Sijun continued, "It should have been broken by the murderer."

Xingyuan still didn't understand, so Lu Xiang explained to him: "The murderer broke the spell and didn't destroy this thing. It should be a clue left on purpose. Let us find out. The murderer is leading us to discover some secrets. The box Qin Wenyu took away is a clue on the surface, but here is a clue in the dark."

"Then what is the purpose of the murderer doing this? What does he want?" Xingyuan asked again.

Lu Xiang continued to answer: "Didn't you find out? How did Qin Huaiqiu die? His whole body was pierced with silver needles and he lost too much blood. It is obvious that the murderer is retaliation for Qin Shuyue! Puzzled, he wants to use our mouths to tell the truth, so that everyone can see Qin Huaiqiu's true face."

Xingyuan asked: "Could it be Qin Wenyu! Now it seems that his motive is the biggest - he and Qin Huaiqiu had a feud, and he learned that Qin Huaiqiu cursed his wife, so he killed Qin Huaiqiu to take revenge."

Lu Xiang shook his head again, and said, "It's really hard to tell. Now we have found too few clues. Now it seems...it seems to be him, but it seems not to be him."

Xingyuan frowned, and said: "No matter who it is, this murderer is very smart. So far, your intuition has not played much role. You have met your opponent. So... what are you going to do now?"

Lu Xiang also felt very embarrassed. He didn't have much clues, and the things he found so far were all revealed to him by the murderer on purpose.He couldn't guess the murderer's ultimate purpose, but he had a hunch that maybe the murderer hadn't given up, and he would definitely kill people.

"Let's go back now." Lu Xiang gently pulled La Sijun's sleeve and said, "Regardless of whether others are willing or not, we must gather everyone, including Mrs. Qin and Second Miss and all the female relatives in their courtyard .”

Xingyuan said with some anxiety: "It's getting dark today, and the female relatives are also gathering together, maybe it's inconvenient?"

Lu Xiang was a little embarrassed and said: "There is no way to do this, at least ensure everyone's safety first. If we continue to dawdle, I am afraid that someone will have an accident again. Let's just have a showdown with Qin Xiucheng, and then we can find Brother Bo and think about it." I wonder if there is any way to break the formation without hurting anyone."

Speaking of this, Lu Xiang turned to look at Sijun again, and said, "Don't say 'you are responsible for your own life' to others. Let us help a little bit."

Sijun said impatiently, "Trouble."

But Lu Xiang still understood that what he said meant he agreed.So under this heavy situation, Lu Xiang finally felt a little more relaxed - no matter how impatient Sijun was, every time he asked for anything, Sijun would agree.

Well, for the time being, forgive him for being indifferent to himself just now.

After the discussion between the three of them, they put the witchcraft doll into Lu Xiang's Qiankun bag and kept it safe. Then they rushed to the Hongya Courtyard. After knocking on the door for a long time, the servant came to answer the door tremblingly. Lu Xiang asked Then he learned that Qin Xiucheng was in the small pavilion in Nanyuan, and Mrs. Qin was still resting in the room, and they didn't ask for servants to serve them.

Lu Xiang said to the servant, "Then please tell the head of Qin that I have something important to discuss with him."

The girl faltered and said that Qin Xiucheng didn't allow people to disturb her or something. After dawdling for a long time, Lu Xiang almost forced her to agree to the transmission, and the two of them were welcomed into the main hall and waited.

After less than half a stick of incense, Lu Xiang was restless waiting, and suddenly stood up, and said anxiously: "No, we can't wait any longer, I'm going to find Qin Xiucheng now."

Xingyuan said: "Don't worry, we... wait, do you smell anything?"

Just as Xingyuan finished speaking, Sijun, who had kept his eyes closed, opened them suddenly, and said coldly, "Something is burning, it's nearby."

After saying that, Lu Xiang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took Sijun's hand and ran out of the hall. As soon as he ran out, he saw black smoke coming out of a small building behind the main hall. not found.

Lu Xiang quickly pointed to the smoking building and shouted, "It's on fire! Is anyone there!"

After shouting several times, the servants finally came to their senses, yelling anxiously, all of a sudden messed up.

Sijun grabbed one person and asked, "Is there someone in that small building?"

The man replied in fear: "It's a Buddhist hall, there should be no one at this moment."

"How could no one start a fire for no reason?" Lu Xiang asked, and ran towards the small building without waiting for an answer.

At this moment, the smoke was getting heavier and heavier, and the flames sprang up, but luckily they were discovered early and the flames were not big. The panicked screams of the servants were earth-shattering, and soon Qin Xiucheng and the other guests in the courtyard were attracted. Soon there was a lot of voices at the entrance of the Buddhist hall.

Qin Xiucheng was furious when he saw the Buddhist hall was on fire, and ordered the servants to put out the fire a little violently. Lu Xiang took advantage of this time to check all the people trapped in the formation.

Qin Wenyu, who was burying Qin Huaiqiu's body, Bo Yangyan, who was sluggish, and all the guests in the Bafang Building rushed over, even Qin Jingrui and the female relatives who were originally in the Pengcheng Courtyard came, and everyone was in a panic. Eight-footed to help fetch water to put out the fire.

This small fire was quickly extinguished with the joint efforts of everyone, but it is not known whether the fire destroyed the pillars and beams of the house, and no one dared to go in.

Qin Xiucheng stood in front of a group of people with a pale face.

Lu Xiang looked at everyone again, and found that one person never showed up.

Lu Xiang's heart was pounding, and when Qin Xiucheng was about to speak, he strode forward, suddenly grabbed Qin Xiucheng's arm, and asked, "Master Qin, have you seen Mrs. Qin?"

Qin Xiucheng was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't thought of this question, and said with some doubts: "She...should rest in the room."

Qin Xiucheng pointed to the direction of the room as he spoke, it was clearly not far from the Buddhist hall.With such a short distance and such a big commotion, would Madam Qin not be able to come over if she heard it?

A bad premonition rose in Lu Xiang's heart immediately, and he quickly shouted: "Master Qin, please go to Madam's room to have a look! Madam Qin is afraid that something has happened!"

After saying this, Lu Xiang didn't care if the fire burned the beams, so he rushed into the Buddhist hall. Sijun didn't hold him back, so he could only follow in quickly.

Bypassing the half-burned screen at the main entrance, Lu Xiang's exclusive crow's mouth, which belongs to the protagonist, really came true.
