[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Daoist Mo's Whisk

Shen's rouge shop was sealed up, and Gong Jiu personally checked it out.

The deputy shopkeeper didn't know why the Rouge shop was in such a sudden situation. When he was quickly sent out of the house by the arrest, he saw Gong Jiu with a stern face, and he was overjoyed as if he had seen a savior, struggling even harder Get up, struggle and shout: "Young master! Young master, help me!"

It would be good if the deputy shopkeeper didn't shout.As soon as he shouted, Gong Jiu's anger that had been suppressed in his heart jumped up a few feet.

How abominable are profiteers and evil merchants!

At nine o'clock Gong flew up, spun in the air, and slapped the deputy shopkeeper with his sleeve.Covering his face with wide sleeves, he slapped the deputy shopkeeper's entire head with inner strength.The swirling hem of the clothes brought out the rustling wind sharply in the air, and the actions seemed to burst out of thin air like a chilly snow-white epiphyllum.

When Gong Jiu settled down next to Mo Qi again, the deputy innkeeper had already passed out from the sleeve fan.

Gong Jiu said angrily to Mo Qi: "He is the one who sold me this rouge!"

It's so nasty, it ruined a surprise he had carefully prepared for no reason!

The policemen looked at each other, they had no choice but to lift up the deputy shopkeeper who had been knocked out by Prince Taiping, followed behind Gong Jiu and Mo Qi, and sent him into Shenhe Village.

…………

When the vice-treasurer was carried into the dungeon, Mr. Su was about to lie on the wet ground, weakly interrogating Mo Zhifu harshly, saying "I don't know", "I really don't know", "How could I know?" !”.

When he saw the deputy shopkeeper, Mr. Su was shocked and sat up from the ground: "Why, why is he also dead?"

Mo Qi: "He's not dead, he just... fainted."

Passed out after being slapped by Jiu Gongzi with one sleeve.

Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue left the dungeon when they saw that the man had returned.They stayed up all night with Mr. Su, Ximen Chuuxue was fine, Ye Gucheng was a person who just woke up from a coma, and after staying up all night, his energy was inevitably much worse, so he had to go back and have a good rest.

Before leaving, Ximen Chuuxue said to Mo Qi seriously: "See Murong, call me."

If you still can't do it by then, I can do it for you.

As a bored gourd, Mo Qi understood the meaning in Ximen Chuuxue's eyes, and felt warm in his heart: "Thank you, owner."

Duan Yu stood aside in bewilderment, not knowing what Mo Qi was thanking.

The detectives jumped over the crowd nimbly and put the deputy treasurer on the floor of the dungeon.Mo Qi half-bent down and woke up the comatose deputy shopkeeper.

The deputy shopkeeper woke up faintly, first he felt a pain in his face, and then he felt panic in his back, he didn't seem to be on his own bed.He stared on the ground for a while, then suddenly sat up from the ground: "Where is this?!"

The deputy shopkeeper was shocked when he saw the crowd standing in front of him at first sight.

With so many people staying in one cell, the dungeon in Sanhezhuang seemed crowded.

The policeman who escorted the deputy shopkeeper told Zhifu Mo that "Rouge Snow is poisonous, and it is the poison of Rouge Bone" in a low voice.Mo Zhifu waved them back, then turned around, glared at the deputy shopkeeper, and slapped the jade inkstone carved with gold and ink very smoothly: "How dare you mix poison in the rouge sold to the common people, you are so brave!"

Although the deputy shopkeeper is a shrewd person, his shrewdness is only in business, and he still has his duty, otherwise Shen Yan would not trust him to be the second in command.Having grown up so big, he has never committed any crimes. This is the first time he has been interrogated by the magistrate, and he was immediately terrified.

The deputy shopkeeper's face turned pale: "What poison...what poison?! How could it be poisonous!"

Mo Zhifu threw the boxes of rouge snow that the deputy shopkeeper had sold to Gong Jiu in the afternoon, and threw them in front of him: "How dare you deny it! This poison has been tested by a doctor, and it is the poison that made your shopkeeper, Mrs. Su And the rouge bone poison that Master Bai died of!"

The deputy shopkeeper was so frightened that his soul was going out of his body. He only felt that he knew every word Mo Zhifu said, but he couldn't understand it together: "How...how is it possible?"

Prefect Mo narrowed his eyes: "You don't know?"

Feeling wronged, the deputy shopkeeper yelled in panic, "I don't know! I don't know! I don't know! If I knew, I would definitely not continue to work in Shen's, and I would definitely report to the authorities!"

He panicked for a moment, and even forgot the courtesy of respect and inferiority, and even said "I" a few times.

Duan Yu raised his hand like Mo Zhifu, stroking his white, tender, smooth and smooth chin with a non-existent beard: "You mean, only your shopkeeper knows about this poison, even you, Mrs. Didn’t the second shopkeeper of Rouge Shop know about it?”

The shopkeeper nodded and shook his head violently, because of the excessive force, even the well-knotted hair was messed up a bit: "I don't know, I don't know!"

Mo Qi was silent for a moment: "Do you know how Shen Yan made this rouge?"

The shopkeeper's expression became even more dejected: "I—I don't know...this rouge is so precious and unique, how could the shopkeeper tell me how to make this rouge?"

He obviously felt that he was so clueless that he might be suspected of not cooperating. After racking his brains tremblingly for a while, he said in a very dejected way: "I, I really don't know how my shopkeeper did this. Rouge Xue's... At the beginning of every month, he would leave Gusu for a while, and leave the business in the shop to me. He said that he had to absorb some "spiritual energy of heaven and earth" to make this rouge."

"I think he just wants to take the opportunity to go sightseeing... I have seen him go to the dock to rent a boat several times."

The shopkeeper drooped his head listlessly: "I...that's all I know...but, but I really don't know that there is poison in this rouge, prefect, trust me!"

…………

When everyone came out of the dungeon and returned to the conference hall, Murong Fu was already pacing back and forth in the conference hall, waiting for quite a while.As soon as he saw Mo Qi and the others coming back, he quickly walked up to him: "How is it?"

Duan Yu pointed to Mo Qi: "Let the Taoist talk about Yan Zhixue first."

Everyone sat down in the hall.

Mo Qi: "I tested the poison. Although the amount of rouge snow is not much, if the rouge bone mixed in it can be extracted at one time, the effect is extremely strong, far enough to kill a person."

Gong Jiu couldn't help but wondered: "Since this is the case, why has there never been any news of a woman in Gusu being poisoned to death by using this rouge snow?"

Duan Yu's family has the most girls and knows women best, he said with a smile, "Your Majesty doesn't know, but there is only a box of rouge in my daughter's red makeup box."

Murong Fu nodded again and again, deeply touched: "At least Abi has more than a dozen pieces of rouge. The amount of these rouges is also quite large. I don't think they can be used up in a lifetime."

Prefect Mo asked strangely: "A dozen yuan? With so much rouge, how many faces do you have to wipe?"

Murong Fu immediately argued for his wife: "But the color of each piece of rouge is different, and the texture is also very different. Some are thin and clear, and some are rich in color. Naturally, they are different."

Duan Yu smiled, and said to Zhifu Mo: "We don't need to understand the matter of our daughter's family, we just need to know it in our hearts. Maybe the wife of the Zhifu's family has so much rouge? Don't you know?"

Prefect Mo said frankly: "Aren't they all red, what's the difference?"

Duan Yu: "..."

Someone like Zhifu Mo can actually have a wife.But he is such a caring person, but he is lonely until now, what is the reason for it!

Mo Qi had no choice but to speak out again, bringing back the topic of going astray, "If the poison of rouge bone is used in a large amount, it will block the throat like the poison of mercury. But if it is used in a small amount, it will only make people's skin color worse at the beginning. Snow white, rosy cheeks, even without lip balm, her lips are like Dan Kou, and her tongue is like a lotus."

"In a short period of time, the rouge bone will indeed make people look extremely beautiful, but it is poison after all, not medicine. When the harmfulness penetrates into the skin, it has already planted a curse in the body. Especially for women, Rich girls who can afford rouge bone are pampered and pampered in the boudoir day and night, and their bodies can't bear anything wrong. This poison can make them menopausal and infertile, and lose both vitality and blood. If a pregnant woman uses this rouge, it will also cause... "

Mo Qi's eyes suddenly went away, and he turned his head to look to the east of Canhezhuang, as if he had thought of something.

That is the location of the White House.

Duan Yu: "What will it lead to? Daoist, what do you remember?"

Mo Qi's eyes sank, and he lowered his eyes to look at Duan Yu: "Your Majesty still remembers the conversation we heard before we left the White House."

Duan Yu thought for a while: "You mean, the part where the rouge was applied and the medicine was boiled?"

Mo Qi said in a deep voice: "A big family has many rules. No matter how loose the discipline is, the servant girl will not think about putting on rouge during the filial piety period when the head of the family has just left."

Gong Jiu thought about it, and continued: "Unless, this rouge is so precious and so pleasing to her, that she can't even wait for the first seven, and wants to put it on immediately."

Mo Qi nodded in agreement to Gong Jiu, and said: "Also, Your Majesty, do you still remember that the big maid said that she wanted to give medicines to maintain the health of several mistresses?"

Duan Yu said: "Remember, is there something wrong with this medicine?"

Mo Qi didn't answer, but asked Duan Yu: "When you met Mrs. Bai earlier, didn't you think she was a bit strange?"

Duan Yu was confused: "Where..." He was startled, "Ah! She didn't wear makeup, but her skin was white and her lips were red, and her cheeks were rosy. This is a sign of the poison of rouge and snow!"

Mo Qi: "That's right." He paused, and then said, "At that time, I looked at her complexion, heard her voice carefully, and heard the tormenting Yao Wei, but I wasn't completely sure. Connect them together, and I'll be sure."

"Ms. Bai slipped through the tire within half a month."

"The rouge in the maid's hand should be the rouge snow that Mrs. Bai threw away when she found out that something was wrong. The medicine that was given to all the wives to subsidize their bodies was just a cover for Mrs. Bai's tire recuperation."

As Duan Yu listened, he suddenly panicked: "Wait a minute... Did Mrs. Bai know that the rouge snow she had thrown away was picked up by that maid? That maid sounds like someone in charge. Wouldn't you tell Mrs. Bai about the servant girl putting on rouge during the filial piety?!"

Duan Yu jumped up from his seat: "I'll go to the White House to have a look!"

Before he finished speaking, he ran away without a trace.

Everyone looked at each other for a while, Xu Zhu had no choice but to clasp his hands together, and apologized to Mo Qi: "I'm sorry, my third younger brother has such a heroic personality, if he sees any excitement... er, it's troublesome, I just want to take care of it. Long, you continue to talk."

Mo Qi saluted back: "It's okay, Your Majesty is a man of temperament."

Mo Qi doesn't mind this.Duan Yu is so nervous about whether a maid will be in danger, which shows that Duan Yu's heart is pure and kind, which is Dali's luck.

"If you think about this case again on the basis that Mrs. Bai had a tire slip due to Rouge Snow, everything will suddenly become clear."

Mo Qi analyzed: "Mrs. Bai has a cold personality. She is not a person who likes to dress up, and she should not be a follower. This Rouge Xue has been fired, everyone is fighting for the top, and the price is high. For Mrs. Bai , but it’s not that good. Then where did the rouge snow on her hand come from?”

Gong Jiu answered tacitly: "Mrs. Su."

Mo Qi said: "That's right, when the two were in their boudoirs, they called Gusu Shuangmei together. After they got married, Mr. Su and Mr. Bai are the best friends. Naturally, there will be no contact between the two eldest wives." few."

Xu Zhu frowned, and digested Mo Qi's words slowly: "So... because of the rouge obtained from Mrs. Su, Mrs. Bai had a miscarriage, so Mrs. Bai hated and wanted to kill him. Mrs. Su?" Xu Zhu had a hard time accepting such a reason, "But Mrs. Su probably didn't do it on purpose? They are sisters for many years, so it's too heartless to kill if they say they want to kill someone."

Murong Fu reminded: "Don't forget, Mrs. Su died after Shen Yan."

Mo Qi nodded, and then said: "After Mrs. Bai knew the poison of rouge, she harbored resentment, but the one who took revenge immediately was not the person who gave her the rouge, but rationally found the person who made the rouge and killed him. , which shows that the relationship between Mrs. Su and Mrs. Bai is really deep. Even Mrs. Su will tell Mrs. Bai about the affair. Second, under the condition that Mrs. Su completely trusts Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Bai She also murdered Mrs. Su's lover, Mrs. Su must be furious."

Gong Jiu rubbed the folding fan in his hand: "Madam Su may be impulsive and say something like reporting to the government. In this way, Madam Bai will have to kill Madam Su in order to protect herself."

"As for killing Mr. Bai...the reason why Mrs. Bai attaches so much importance to the matter of tire slippage must be because of Mr. Bai. Moreover, Mr. Bai has been away from home every day and night these years. Going on and on, Mrs. Bai must have resentment towards Mr. Bai."

Mo Qi said: "If this is the case, there must be considerations for the reason why Mrs. Bai put all her doubts on Mr. Su."

Murong Fu understood: "The Bai family and the Su family were originally colleagues. If the old master Su died, the Su family would naturally fall. In this way, even if the Bai family is supported by only her as the head of the house, the Bai family can still protect the Bai family. The status in Gusu."

Here you and I have completed the story, and Mo Qi was about to add the last sentence: "This is all speculation, there is no evidence yet", Duan Yu came back with a face full of anger.

The first sentence when entering the door was: "She really killed those two maids!"

Duan Yu sat down on his seat and took a sip of tea: "When I went, Mrs. Bai was giving porridge to two maidservants. When I heard it, it happened to be the day when I was leaving Bai Those two voices I heard when I was in the mansion."

"Where is such a coincidence?!" Duan Yu said angrily, "I just kicked the door in, snatched the porridge, and pretended to pour it down for Mrs. Bai, but Mrs. Bai refused! If it was really porridge, why would I want to eat it?" So unwilling!"

Prefect Mo immediately stood up: "Then where is she now?"

Duan Yu: "Dungeon!"

·

·

The process of interrogating Mrs. Bai went extremely smoothly.Prefect Mo, who had been able to interrogate Mr. Su and the deputy shopkeeper for two full days, couldn't believe it.

However, the facts really do not allow Mrs. Bai to deny it.

Duan Yu went there in time, the red bean and barley porridge was still mixed with rouge and bone poison, even if she talked about it, she still couldn't wash it off.

When Zhifu Mo came out of the dungeon, he felt refreshed.

More than half of the case has been solved, and the murderer has been caught in the murder case within the scope of his responsibility, and it is not for him to intervene in the rest.

When Murong Fu and Mo Qi were sent out of Shenhe Village together, Zhifu Mo was still talking about the last piece they missed: "Shen Yan's side, Mrs. Bai recommended herself as a pillow. Shen Yan was so happy when she heard the news Crazy, who cares what, is there some conspiracy."

"Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Su are the same, they both pretended to be Shen Yan's maids and sneaked into Shen's residence, so the servants didn't find out when the two ladies who shouldn't be here came to the mansion."

Mo Zhifu walked outside the gate of Canhezhuang, turned around and stood still, and said to Mo Qi: "In the future, the lower officials will not be able to handle the case. However, if the national teacher needs help from the lower officials, feel free to come with the lower officials." Mention. I hope Gusu... can restore peace as soon as possible."

…………

Prefect Mo left, but Mrs. Bai stayed behind.She killed three people in a row, and one of them was her own husband, who should be executed according to the law, and the left and right are also people who are going to die. Instead of taking them back to prison and waiting for the next day's execution at noon, it's better to stay in Shenhezhuang. It can also catch ghost Murong.

Mo Qi and Murong Fu sent Mo Zhifu away and returned to the meeting hall.

Mrs. Bai caught it, they still have a ghost Murong to deal with, now is not the time to rest.

Duan Yu had already relieved the suffocation in his chest, and said to Gong Jiu: "My lord, you went to Manxianglou in the morning, did you find anything?"

Gong Jiu raised his chin slightly reservedly: "Discovered? Of course there is. I not only went to Manxianglou, but also went to Mr. He's house, Mrs. Seven's house, and the houses of Shen Yan and Mrs. Su."

Murong Fu praised: "My son is really wise."

He Xiang, Master He, Seventh Aunt, Shen Yan, Mrs. Su, these people are the most likely to have information about where the Rougegu Poison is hidden.

Mo Qi: "What did you find?"

Gong Jiu took a sip of tea unhurriedly before saying, "Let me talk about it one by one."

"As the deputy shopkeeper said just now, Shen Yan will leave Gusu at the beginning of every month and disappear for a while to make rouge snow. And every time, he goes back to the dock to rent a boat. This shows that the materials used to make rouge snow— —that is, the rouge bone, and there may be a very secret storage place."

"And this place where the poison is hidden is what Ghost Murong has always wanted to find."

"In the beginning, I went to He Xiang's wing. The ghost Murong has been able to act as He Xiang's lover for so long, there must be extremely important clues in He Xiang."

"The strange thing is that when I entered the wing room, I happened to find the ghost Murong who hurriedly left from the street. The wing room has already been searched, and the floor is full of mess."

Duan Yu wondered: "It's really weird!"

Since Ghost Murong killed He Xiang, isn't it because he has obtained the desired information from her?If it wasn't so, he could have smashed his head with his palm just like he did to Master He and Aunt Qi, so why bother to pretend to be a love brother with He Xiangxu as a snake?You can't blame Murong for keeping He Xiang until now because of love at first sight, right?

That being the case, why did he go to He Xiang's wing again?Didn't he get the news hidden in He Xiang?

Gong Jiu glanced at Duan Yu: "Ghost Murong and He Xiang pretended to be this family because He Xiang had important information about Rouge Xue that he wanted. But don't forget, this Rouge bone was handed over by Shen Yan. The one who slipped out, Yan Zhixue was also tuned by Shen Yan. That is to say, He Xiangguang has information about the place where the poison is hidden, but he doesn't have the bone poison in his hands."

"I didn't quite understand it until I found this in He Xiang's room." Gong Jiu took out a sachet embroidered with lotus flowers.

Duan Yu frowned and said, "Didn't He Xiangxiu give this to Ghost Murong?"

Gong Jiu reached out and opened the sachets one by one: "That's right. There are many notes stuffed in this sachet, almost all of which are love poems and words, only one."

Gong Jiu took out the only piece of paper that he had marked in the sachet, and took it out of a small mountain of paper.

"It's written on it that the poison of gorgeous bones is passed on to women and not to men. It is hidden in Chengri and guarded in Fenhe."

Gong Jiu put the note on the table and let everyone gather to look at it.Casually said: "He Xiang actually prepared to give the ghost Murong what he wanted the most. It's just that he has no patience, nor is he interested in opening these sachets carrying He Xiang's love one by one, and looking through them one by one. "

"The meaning of these words... The poison of the rouge bone must be the poison of the rouge bone. It is said that the secret of the rouge bone is passed down to the family, and it will only be passed on to women. Will it be passed on to men?" Duan Yu pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "No wonder the relationship between the brothers and sisters of the He family is so bad! This poison was only passed on to He Xiang, but not to Master He. He Xiang suffered from it for nothing since childhood. Rouge bone poisoning, Master He is healthy and healthy, she naturally doesn't want to! Even if she has a special constitution, she won't die from rouge bone poisoning, but this is poison after all, it will never make people happy."

"But what is the meaning of 'hidden in Chengri, guarded in Fenhe'?"

Gong Jiu glanced at Duan Yu: "It's probably the address of the drug hiding place."

Duan Yu flipped through the small note several times, and said eagerly: "Just this sentence? What can you know?"

Gong Jiudao: "I don't know either. So I went to Master He's house again to see if there is any information. But unfortunately, there is nothing, even Seventh Aunt."

"Previously, we believed that Master He and Aunt Qi died because they learned the news that Murong the Ghost wanted to obtain the rouge bone, so they were murdered by Murong the Ghost to silence them."

"But what if it's the opposite?"

Mo Qi frowned: "What do you mean?"

Gong Jiu said slowly: "The ghost Murong must have not found He Xiang's sachet. Otherwise, I would not have the chance to find them. That is to say, the metaphor poem of the place where the poison is hidden, the ghost Murong must not have found it. knew."

"After careful calculation, Ghost Murong and this He Xiang have been pretending to be lovers for half a month, right? But he hasn't heard any news. Can the shadow man tolerate Ghost Murong being so procrastinating?"

Mo Qi's eyes narrowed: "You mean, Mr. He and Aunt Qi died too, because Murong Gui couldn't wait to slowly dig out information from He Xiang, so he wanted to get his hands on the people who were closest to her in the past. Asking information. They were forced to ask by the ghost Murong, but they couldn't answer the question, and then they were killed?"

Gong Jiu raised her eyebrows: "It's reasonable, isn't it?"

"I came out of the Su Mansion, thinking, Master He and Seventh Aunt probably did not know about the Rouzhigu, but Shen Yan must know. Otherwise, how did he get the Rouzhigu poison? Therefore, I went to Shen's Mansion again."

Gong Jiu took out two pieces of rice paper from his sleeve. There were ink patterns on the paper, which seemed to be rubbed out from something.

"Do you still remember the two bronze mirrors that Shen Yan ordered?"

Duan Yu nodded quickly like a little chicken pecking at rice, and urged Gong Jiu to hurry up with his eyes, don't keep it up.

Gong Jiudao: "When I went, Shen Yan's bedroom was still in its original state. At that time, the murderer hadn't been caught, and the servants naturally didn't dare to mess with the furnishings in the room. Then I saw this bronze mirror. Wenzhi is a swallow flying in the water. Isn't this picture strange?"

Mo Qi: "Indeed. Swallow, in the water?" A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "This painting is a metaphor for Shen Yan entering the water."

Gong Jiu nodded: "So, I went to the Su Mansion again and found Mrs. Su's bronze mirror. This is what was painted on the bronze mirror."

Gong Jiu raised his chin, motioning everyone to look at the paper he took out.

There is a picture of the setting sun reflecting the lotus on the paper.

"Hidden in Chengri, guarded by Fenhe. Does this picture depict a place where poisons are hidden?" Duan Yu said in surprise, "This kind of thing can be tattooed on a bronze mirror and given to Mrs. Su. It seems that Shen Yan is very fond of it." Mrs. Su is very affectionate."

Murong Fu took a look at Duan Yu: "If it's true, then he won't accept Mrs. Bai's self-recommended pillow, and won't give Mrs. Bai a chance to kill him. I'm afraid it's not affection, but showing off .”

Just like every unrighteous person can't help but show off his careful layout before the big plan is about to succeed, few people can resist not showing off the sense of pride that this kind of strategy has been planned for a long time and finally succeeded.

"In addition to the saying that Shen Yan has to rent a boat every time she makes Rouge Snow, I'm sure that the place where the poison is hidden must be under a certain water near Gusu."

Duan Yu pondered: "But... which water area is it? Hidden in Chengri...Chengri. Gusu...Gusu...Chengri." His voice suddenly stopped.

Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "Yangcheng Lake!"

·

·

Although the location of the drug hiding place has been released, it is very likely to be in Yangcheng Lake, but to find and confirm this speculation, it is necessary for everyone to go to Yangcheng Lake and search for it in the water.

Fortunately, there were no landlubbers among the crowd, as long as they prepared some things, they would dare to explore Yangcheng Lake before sunset.

Mo Qi changed into a suit of water-proof clothes in the room, then took off the jade crown on his head, and replaced it with a tighter long rope to tie it into a ponytail, and brushed it behind him, the end of the long ponytail was pulled by someone .

"Ninth Young Master." Mo Qi turned around helplessly.

The water-proof clothing he changed into was extremely slim, especially the upper body, which was almost tightly attached to the skin, and even the rise and fall of every inch of muscle could be clearly seen.

Gong Jiu's eyes looked down from Mo Qi's strong but not exaggerated chest all the way down his thin waist, and then thought about the indescribable mountains and seas contained in Mo Qi's body that he had personally experienced when he was in Manxianglou. Shaking power, swallowed involuntarily.

Mo Qi is used to being stared at by Gong Jiu's eyes so...hungry, anyway, as long as Gong Jiu stops putting whips and whisks in his hands, it will be fine.He thought for a while, turned around and went to the bedside to take something, turned back and handed it to Gong Jiu.

It is a finely carved jade pendant, a small piece with complicated lines and twists and turns.

Gong Jiu raised her eyebrows: "For me?"

so small?

Duan Yu poked his head in from outside the door: "It's time to go! The boatman is already waiting in the lotus pond outside Canhe Village!" He looked at Gong Jiu suspiciously, then at Mo Qi, and his eyes fell on Mo Qi. Putting on the jade pendant in his hand, he stared at it for a while, his eyes lit up, "Huh? This is not the most famous and precious Shu jade in Miaoyin City!"

Gong Jiu turned his face sideways: "Miaoyin City?"

Is this jade specially brought by the Taoist priest from Miaoyin City?

Duan Yu was puzzled again: "But isn't Miaoyin City only selling jade and not carving jade? It's weird, where did you go to carve this jade priest? During this time we are running around every day, you still have time to go Looking for a jade craftsman to carve jade?"

Duan Yu's questioning was like a battle of firecrackers, one went off and the other went off.But this firecracker is spiritual, and it wakes up Gong Jiu.

Gong Jiu reached out and pinched the jade that Mo Qi was about to take back: "Did you carve it yourself?"

Mo Qi: "..."

Gong Jiu then asked: "You... what kind of return gift is this?"

"..." Mo Qi was silent for a while, "It's not a gift in return. Shu jade has a calming effect. I soaked it in medicinal wine and wore it for a long time, which can relieve your internal energy and yang disorder."

The corners of Gong Jiu's flat mouth curled up slowly: "You have already planned this way since the time in Miaoyin City?"

Mo Qi: "..."

Gong Jiu's eyes made him a little nervous, and made him a little embarrassed for no reason.

Outside the door, Duan Yu's head slowly retracted.

Emperor Dali stood outside the door, looking up to the sky in loneliness: It seems that there is no room for him in this room!

·

·

Yangcheng Lake is most famous for hairy crabs.

Of course, now is the time when the crabs are hibernating, and the crabs are naturally invisible.

—if no one digs out their nests.

When everyone went back to prepare the equipment for launching, Duan Yu prepared the fish basket.While everyone was cleaning their weapons, Duan Yu prepared a fishing rod.When everyone went into the water to touch the terrain to see if there was any place for hiding drugs, the majestic Emperor Dali was digging out crab nests.

Also grab a nest.

Now is the time when the crabs are hibernating in the cave, Duan Yu really caught a lot of fat crabs by virtue of his crab picking skills.As for the younger one, Duan Yu mercifully released him and waited for a chance to meet again next year.

The sand raised by the crabs muddied the lake water, causing Ximen Chuuxue to swim away uncoordinatedly.

It can't be blamed that the owner of Ximen's posture is not elegant enough, after all, he is a landlubber.You can't ask a person who lives in a mountain villa all year round and only goes out three times a year to know how to use water.

This time Ximen Chuuxue will follow, because if he finds a place where the poison is hidden this time, he may run into the ghost Murong.In order to fulfill his promise to Mo Qi, Ximen Chuuxue came here without hesitation.

Regarding this, City Master Ye, who was born in the South China Sea, was very worried. Before leaving, he asked Master Ximen: "You know how to swim."

Ximen Chuuxue's mind is very stable.Although he is a weight, he has good internal strength. Although he has not tried it, he estimates that he can hold back in the water for at least half a day.Everyone's search for the place to hide the poison was originally planned to be completed before sunset, so nothing will happen to him.

He was right.And no one expected that they would find the hiding place so quickly.

The tunnel was dug by Duan Yu.He poked his harpoon into the soil, but instead of a crab, he hit something hard.He dug a few more times with the harpoon, and saw a doorknob made of dark iron.

Everyone swam over in amazement, half amused, and together they pushed the soil away from the round door.

Mo Qi made a gesture to let the crowd disperse, then took out the all-purpose iron rod that he had used in the South China Sea earlier, dialed a few times in the door lock, and stretched out his hand to pull the door open.

The passageway is dark, it is hard to see how deep it is, and it is extremely narrow, only enough for one person to swim down at a time.

Mo Qi swam down immediately, and everyone pushed Ximen Chuuxue to the middle who wanted to delay, and then followed Mo Qi into the tunnel one by one.

The corridor is not very long, at least not for this group of people who hold their breath and can tell the time.

Mo Qi speeded up, poked his head out from the entrance of the tunnel, and found that the tunnel actually leads to a spacious underground palace.

He climbed out of the tunnel, turned around and helped the people behind him get ashore one by one, and then turned around to look at the underground palace hidden under Yangcheng Lake.

Duan Yu was the last one to climb out of the tunnel, holding a fish basket full of crabs, and the first thing he said when he emerged from the water was a burst of laughter: "—Fortunately, the owner didn't postpone it!"

When Ximen Chuuxue was on land, he was definitely a god of death, but when he got into the water, he swam upright several times and bumped into the wall of the corridor.

Ximen Chuuxue looked at Duan Yu coldly.

Duan Yu shivered, and realized who he was teasing, he quickly opened his mouth and said to Ximen Chuuxue: "Vendor Master, I don't know how to use swords! Although the fingering technique I practice is called the Six Meridians Excalibur, but I can't do it right now. It's really just a finger, the owner, you won't be so cruel, you want to fight me?"

Xu Zhu couldn't see it anymore, he pulled back the third younger brother who always pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and pretends to be honest and bully honest people whenever he has a chance: "Don't be joking, let's see how to open the door first."

Only then did Duan Yu focus on the only door in the empty underground palace.

This gate is extremely huge, as high as ten people, and there is an extremely exquisite and vivid picture of lotus flowers at sunset in Yangcheng Lake engraved on the gate.

"This door is so strange that it doesn't even have a handle, how can I open it?" Duan Yu stared at the door strangely.

He thought hard for a while, then reached out his hand to dig in the skirt of his clothes, and actually took out two bronze mirrors.

"..." Mo Qi was quite speechless, "When will Your Majesty..."

When did you get the bronze mirror?

No, to be precise, it should be Duan Yu who went to fetch the fish basket and the harpoon, unexpectedly went to the Shen residence and Su residence in time to fetch the two bronze mirrors, and then went to his door to urge him Hurry up and set off with Gong Jiu?

Duan Yu looked at the two bronze mirrors for a while: "There are lotus flowers and the setting sun in this bronze mirror; there are also lotus flowers and the setting sun on the door. Will finding the same lotus flower give us the clue to open the door?"

Xu Zhu looked at the gate which was ten people high and four people wide and said sadly: "There are at least a thousand lotus on this door, and there are twelve on the bronze mirror. If you want to find the same lotus, will you Will it be too difficult?"

But anyway, there is no water in the underground palace, so there is no need to worry about breathing problems, and they can't think of any new ideas for the time being, so why not try to find it according to Duan Yu's idea first.

After a stick of incense.

Duan Yu sat down on the ground, covering his head: "I'm dazzled, I'm dizzy..."

Xu Zhu's complexion is also a bit ugly: "I'm also a little dizzy, third brother, are you okay?"

Ximen Chuuxue withdrew her silent gaze from looking at the picture, and frowned: "This painting is wrong."

Gong Jiu stroked his chest: "Isn't that right, I feel that the internal force is a bit stagnant."

After Gong Jiu finished speaking, she suddenly froze for a moment.

He thought of the painting he drew for Old Man Wu with a hidden retrograde formation.

Gong Jiu reached out and tugged Mo Qi's long ponytail: "Master Dao, is there a formation hidden in this painting?"

Mo Qi "saved" his hair back from Gong Jiu's hands, stood back a few steps, and looked at the whole painting of lotus flowers at sunset in Yangcheng Lake from afar.

Mo Qi: "There is indeed a formation."

Duan Yu was overjoyed: "What formation? Could it open the door?"

Mo Qi shook his head: "I can't open the door. It's just a tricky formation that can make people look restless and disorder their internal energy."

Duan Yu froze again: "Then what should I do?"

It was hard to find this underground palace, but they couldn't open the door.The point is that you can't use brute force to open it. After all, this is the bottom of Yangcheng Lake. If you are not careful, the underground palace will collapse, and they will suffer.

Ximen Chuuxue said to Mo Qi: "Do you have any hints about the Tibetan poems from earlier?"

Duan Yu sat on the ground, he didn't want to move anything except his mouth: "The owner is saying that He Xiang
