Skilled in managing a house

Zhang Yu and the five of them stayed in Villa No. 15. They ordered some meals and asked the waiter to deliver them to the restaurant in the villa.

While the waiter was preparing, Zhang Yu and others went to their rooms first. Zhang Yu chose the best room on the second floor because the windows here could see the windows of the villa next door.

He walked to the bedside, looked out, and was immediately stunned.

It turned out that the lights were on in the villa next door.

"There are people inside," Zhang Yu muttered, but then he thought about it. If the person in the wheelchair was really locked inside, someone should be left to guard it, and it would be normal for the lights to be turned on.

Anyway, wait until late at night, after the gate is closed, it will be too late to go there on your own.

It's not too early now, and it won't be long before the people over there have to sleep.

I simply washed up in the room and went downstairs again. After a while, the waiter delivered the food.

Zhang Yu asked smoothly: "This is Villa No. 15, and next to it is Villa No. 16, right?"

"No, that's No. 17 next to it," the waiter said.

"17?" Zhang Yu wondered: "This is 15, why isn't the one next to it 16?"

"We arrange them according to odd and even numbers. Next to 15 are 13 and 17, and number 16 is at the end." The waiter said, pointing in the direction of the restaurant door.

"So that's it." Zhang Yu nodded, thinking to himself that he would have inquired in advance.

He didn't say anything more. When the food was served, several people ate together. Zhu Jiuzhen is not happy without drinking. He has been stuck in Taihang Mountain for the past few days and has not touched a drop of wine. It is obvious that he cannot bear it. Zhu Jiu actually ordered twenty bottles of liquor, which shocked the waiter. He was really drinking liquor as beer.

Zhang Yu had something to do later, so naturally he couldn't drink with Zhu Jiuzhen. He simply ate half full and said that he wanted to go out for a walk and take a walk.

After leaving the villa, Zhang Yu went to the villa building opposite. After walking for a while, he saw a row of small villa buildings opposite. Most of them were dark, and the one directly opposite me happened to have a light on.

Zhang Yu secretly thought, why is the light on again? It's really difficult, the lights are on everywhere I want to go.

With the help of the light, Zhang Yu continued to move forward. Even if he didn't turn off the lights, he might as well take the opportunity to get a clear idea of ​​the terrain here, so that it would be easier to enter when the time comes.

As he got closer and closer to the small building, Zhang Yu heard a sudden scream coming from the villa, "Ah"

To be precise, this was the scream of a woman, and judging from the sound, she must have been overly frightened.

"Huh?" Zhang Yu was stunned for a moment, then ran towards the villa.

There are also yards in front of the villas here, but they are not high courtyard walls, but fence walls about one meter high.

Even the high-walled compound couldn't stop Zhang Yu, let alone this one. He was also in a hurry and didn't care about anything else. He jumped over the fence wall with a slight jump and came to the door of the villa. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, "哐哐哐哐哐哐."

After knocking several times, he didn't hear any footsteps coming to open the door, but he could hear the shouts of men and women inside, "What's going on?" "What's going on!".

Hearing the voices of so many people, Zhang Yu was stunned again. Seeing this, the person living inside was probably not the person he was looking for.

"Is this the 16th?" Zhang Yu muttered in his heart, and just as he was about to slam the door, he followed suit.

Unexpectedly, at this stall, there were fast footsteps approaching, and then another young man's voice sounded, "Who is it!"

"Click!"

Along with the young man's voice, the door of the villa also opened.

Zhang Yu wanted to hide, but couldn't. He happened to be face to face with the opponent.

Seeing the person opening the door, Zhang Yu was stunned again. It turned out that the person who opened the door was wearing an apricot Taoist robe and had a bun on his head. He was clearly a Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest had a cold look on his face, as if he was in a hurry. When he saw Zhang Yu, he didn't look like a hotel security guard, and he was about to have a fit.

But then, the little Taoist priest said "Huh", looked at Zhang Yu carefully, and said after a while: "You, you are Master Zhang who is not a Taoist temple."

Seeing the other party calling out his name, it was Zhang Yu's turn to be surprised, "You are."

"I am Chief Li Shun of the White Eyebrow Palace. Master Zhang may not recognize me. Why are you here?" the little Taoist priest said curiously.

"I was passing by outside and suddenly heard screams coming from inside, so I knocked on the door and asked if something serious had happened." Zhang Yu said.

"I live downstairs. I heard the cry just now. I wanted to go up, but I heard you knocking on the door. I don't know what happened. Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment. I'll go to Master Tongbing." The little Taoist said.

"Okay, I'm done." Zhang Yu said calmly.

The little Taoist priest wanted to close the door, but felt it was not polite and asked Zhang Yu to sit in the living room. He didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to make the decision without permission. After hesitating for a moment, he simply didn't close the door and ran inside quickly.

Zhang Yu stood at the door waiting without going in.

In his heart, he was somewhat disappointed. He originally wanted someone in a wheelchair, but the person living here turned out to be someone from the White Eyebrow Palace.

The most puzzling thing is, why is there the key here in Gou Wen's pocket?

Something seems to have happened in the villa now. Otherwise, we should take a look first and then say goodbye. We can't leave without saying goodbye.

Not long after, footsteps were heard from the second floor, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Zhang Yu.

Shangguan Ning!

"Why are you here?" Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask.

"My uncle, my master, and I came out to make good faith. After we were done, they arranged for us to stay here and rest. Why did you come here too?" Shangguan Ning said.

"I came here to do some errands and will stay here tonight. I just heard a cry, what happened? By the way, you came out with Master Yuan," Zhang Yu said.

"No, he's my master." Shangguan Ning said.

Then, she frowned and said, "My uncle is dead. It's very chaotic up there. But my master said, since you're here, come up."

"Ah?" Zhang Yu was shocked. This sudden death was no small matter. No wonder I just heard the noise and there was a mess upstairs. It turned out that something like this happened.

Shangguan Ning let him in, then closed the door of the villa and led him upstairs.

It was quiet upstairs now. Zhang Yu and Shangguan Ning came upstairs. There were six or seven disciples standing in the corridor, both men and women. When they saw Zhang Yu getting up, they were all a little puzzled.

Zhang Yu and Shangguan Ning came to the room on the left at the top and looked inside the door. It was a study. An old Taoist wearing Bagua Immortal Clothes was sitting on the sofa, with a knife stuck in his chest. Blood flowed out and dyed the Taoist robe red.

In the room, there were three Taoist priests standing, one female and two male. The two men were about thirty years old, and Zhang Yu didn't know them. That Kun Dao, on the other hand, is none other than Feng Chongjue.

In addition, Zhang Yu could see that the faces of Feng Chongjue and the two Taoist priests were full of fear. It was almost like seeing a ghost.

This made Zhang Yu even more puzzled. Wasn't it just that the person died? Even if it was suicide, he wouldn't be so scared. Zhang Yu went first to say hello, "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, hello, Uncle Feng. Disciple, please be polite."

"So it's your nephew, please come in." Feng Chongjue reacted from his fear after hearing Zhang Yu's voice.

In fact, she had just learned that Zhang Yu was knocking on the door. She was suspicious and didn't understand why this time came, but she still asked Shangguan Ning to invite Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu came in, looked at the body sitting on the sofa, and said, "Uncle Master, what happened? The disciple just passed by outside and suddenly heard screams in the villa, thinking that something happened If anything, just come and knock on the door and ask."

"My senior brother was suddenly killed," Feng Chongjue lowered his head and said sadly.

When she spoke, she was still trembling a little, as if she had not yet awakened from fear.

Zhang Yu looked at the body again and said doubtfully: "Uncle Master, why do you look so nervous and scared?"

"Because it was the Flying Star Nine Blades that killed Master." A Taoist priest in the room said tremblingly.

"Nine Blades of the Flying Star." Zhang Yu examined the knife on the deceased's chest. All the blades were inserted into the body, and only the handle was exposed. On the handle of the knife, the tail is golden, and the upper part is black with patterns on it.

Zhang Yu pointed at the dagger and asked curiously: "Is this the flying star nine-edged sword?"

"Yes." Feng Chongjue nodded.

"There doesn't seem to be anything special about this knife," Zhang Yu said in confusion.

"This" Feng Chongjue hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shangguan Ning and said: "Ask the disciples outside to move away, and then close the door."

"Yes, Master." Shangguan Ning immediately went out, asked the disciples standing outside to wait at the stairs, and then closed the door, "Everyone has left."

Feng Chongjue nodded, and then said sadly: "Actually, many people in Baimei Palace know about this matter. In order to obtain the position of abbot, when the senior brother went out to accumulate merit, he made friends with gangsters and did many things. It was a disgraceful thing. After the master learned about it, he expelled the senior brother from the school and sent people down the mountain to clean up the door. The senior brother was finally executed and his body was brought back to Baimei Palace. The master and the old man remembered their old friendship and allowed him to be buried. In the back mountain of Baimei Palace, he was buried together with his personal magic weapon, the Flying Star Nine Blades. However, no one thought that four years ago, my fifth senior brother Chu Chongji went down the mountain to do something, but was suddenly killed at night. In There was a Nine-Blade Flying Star stuck in his chest. The abbot immediately sent someone to check the senior brother's coffin, and it was found that the body of the senior brother was not in it at all, and neither was the Nine-Blade Flying Star. Everything looked so evil. Two years ago, senior brother Tang Chongxi went down the mountain to do business and was also killed. He still had a flying star nine-blade stuck in his chest. Today, senior brother Zhan and I went out together, and now he is also dead, and he still has a flying star nine-blade."

When he said this, Feng Chongjue's body kept shaking, as if he was thinking of something scary again.

Zhang Yu said: "Uncle Feng, you, your senior brother, are you dead or not? Are there any connections between the deaths of these people?"

"Elder brother must be dead," Feng Chongjue said in a positive tone: "When the house was being cleaned up, it was led by two senior uncles and Senior Sister Yuan. I was among them. I saw the elder brother being killed with my own eyes. Six swords were struck, and three of them were above the vital points. The person is already dead and cannot die any more." Feng Chongjue's voice was still trembling, as if she was remembering the past, and she said tremblingly: "No matter what happened four years ago, The fifth senior brother who passed away was the senior brother Tang two years ago, and the senior brother Zhan who passed away this time. They were all the people who went to clean up the sect together. They all died under the eldest brother's flying star nine blades. What happened? The thing is that the spirit of the eldest brother is still there. When he came back to take revenge, the eldest brother was not dead at all."

After Zhang Yu heard this, he was even more surprised. This thing was too bizarre.

If the Yin spirit comes back to seek revenge, Zhang Yu has never encountered such a thing. Yin spirits are particularly fragile, they cannot see the sun, and they are even afraid of Yang energy, and they may disperse at any time. If it is cultivated into a climate, it will attract thunder from the sky and death will be inevitable.

If someone stole the Nine Blades of the Flying Star, why did they also steal the body? Another point is, why are these people killed?

Zhang Yu looked at the room. It was just a study room with windows at the back. Because it was winter, the windows were closed.

He strolled towards the window and pushed the glass, but it couldn't be pushed at all, which proved that the window was locked.

Zhang Yu had encountered something similar to this once before, when Yi Zhimei killed Lu Zhenren's uncle. But this time it was obviously different, because there was no balcony at all in the study. If you don't open the window and want to come in, even if you can pry open the window, you will definitely be discovered by the people inside.

There was nothing wrong with the window. Zhang Yu turned around and said, "Who discovered the body first?"

"It's Senior Brother Zhan's apprentice Chang Xin." Feng Chongjue looked at Shangguan Ning and said, "Call Chang Xin in."

"Yes, Master." Shangguan Ning agreed, opened the door and called, "Senior Sister Chang Xin, Master is looking for you."

Soon, a twenty-four or five-year-old Kun Dao came in from outside.

"Uncle Master, you are looking for me."

"Chang Xin, tell me what you saw." Feng Chongjue said.

"Master drinks a glass of water every night. I saw that it was almost time, so I came over to bring water to Master. I knocked on the door a few times, but Master didn't make any sound, so I just turned it. The result was that Master, Master is actually dead." When Chang Xin said this, his face was still full of fear.

When Zhang Yu came in, he found a broken kettle on the ground at the door, and the water spilled all over the floor.

Zhang Yu took a closer look at the situation in the study, and there was no sign of a fight. He approached the body and looked at it again. It was obvious that he had struck a fatal blow.

Generally speaking, this kind of fatal move must be committed by an acquaintance. No matter how big the difference in strength is, if you come in unexpectedly, whether through the door or the window, you will be seen by the deceased.

"Huh?" Suddenly, he suddenly realized that something seemed wrong. Immediately afterwards, his hand grabbed the hilt of the dagger.

It's said to be scratching, but in fact it means that the fingernails touched the end of the handle of the knife.

After this contact, Zhang Yu discovered the clues.

Seeing Zhang Yu's expression was different, Feng Chongjue asked curiously: "Have you discovered anything?"

Zhang Yu shook his head slightly, straightened up and said, "No... By the way, have you reported this to the police?"
