A dull and heavy voice sounded and spread throughout the Xiaoyao Villa. This is an ancient bell preserved from Emperor Yingwu's time. It seemed that it was only rung during sacrifices in the past, but now it is used by the owner of Xiaoyao Villa for summoning.

Many diners living in Xiaoyao Villa left the courtyard and went to the square of the villa together. Taixuanmen was no exception. The housekeepers of the villa came to visit one by one. They all followed the crowd.

【"I'm in trouble..."】

Ming Zongyi walked with Qu Chen together, frowning.

Xu Wu died in Xiaoyao Mountain Villa, and the house was stolen. Needless to say, the villain must have come for the inner universe scriptures. Ming Zongyi happened to have a copy of the inner universe scriptures in his hand. The crotch is either shit or shit, I can't tell at all.

Because apart from Taixuanmen and Bo Xue who gave him the inner universe scriptures, no one else knew that Ming Zongyi also had a copy of the inner universe scriptures, and there was a high probability that Taixuanmen and Bo Xue would be regarded as the masters of Ming Dynasty. Colleagues in long clothes.

In other words, Ming Zongyi has no way to prove that this book is his own, and that he didn't steal it from a murderer... If he said that he hid it or ran away directly, it was really trying to hide it, and put the shit pot on his head , if they were found out, it would be hard to argue, but if they said it was theirs, would they believe it? How should Bo Xue explain it...

【"what to do......"】

Ming Zongyi felt a little dizzy for a while.

With a calm expression, Qu Chen stretched out his hand to hold Ming Zongyi's shoulder, and Ming Zongyi stabilized a little bit.

【"I don't know what Bo Xue's attitude is... It shouldn't be wrong for the villain to come to Inner Universe, but if Xu Wu hides and the villain doesn't find it, then my suspicion will disappear. No matter what, let’s take one step at a time.”]

Ming Zongyi made up his mind and came to the square with the surging crowd. It was obviously not decent to discuss matters in this place, but this was a helpless move, because there were too many diners in the villa.

On the way, people from the surrounding rivers and lakes talked about it a lot. Their thoughts were almost the same as Ming Zongyi's. Why was Xu Wuneng being targeted by others? It was nothing more than the inner universe scripture.

Ming Zongyi kept scanning, hoping to find Bo Xue, but Bo Xue didn't see it, but saw the two women he saw at the ring a few days ago.

The black-haired girl was wearing a solemn black dress, with black hair hanging down, her hair was short in front and long in back, and the ends of her hair were neatly cut out with a knife. The black ribbon blindfolded her eyes, giving her a mysterious and profound aura.

As she walked on the road, she exuded a silent majesty, and all the martial artists around her were shocked by that aura and kept away from her.

Compared to the black-haired girl, the girl with a low ponytail who calls herself "The Bigger the Bigger" is much looser. She is wearing a strong robe, with a neat ponytail, and holds her hands behind her head, striding forward like a child. out of step.

She lazily said: "It's really boring, why should the older man go with him?"

The black-haired girl smiled and said, "Ah Yue, the owner of the village is also trying to find the murderer. If he doesn't go, he will inevitably appear a little guilty."

The girl with the low ponytail was very disdainful.

"The bigger the man is, the more invincible he is! There's no need for that kind of inner... inner... There's no need for that kind of strange technique!"

【"I don't know if you are invincible or not, but everyone should know about your illiteracy..."】

Ming Zongyi quietly complained in his heart, but the girl with the low ponytail seemed to be able to read minds, her sharp eyes swept over and stayed on Ming Zongyi.

Ming Zongyi looked away with guilt, not far away, the owner of Xiaoyao Villa was standing on the top of the steps with a serious expression.

Ming Zongyi also finally saw Bo Xue and Bo Xi. These two came earlier and had been waiting there for a long time. No wonder Ming Zongyi didn't see him all the way just now.

Qu Chen nodded to Li Huaisu, then pulled on Ming Zongyi, and the two walked through the crowd to Bo Xue's side.

Before Qu Chen could open his mouth, the owner of Xiaoyao Villa's deep voice resounded through the audience.

No.17 Chapter Seven Days

The owner of Xiaoyao Villa stood on the steps.

He is a middle-aged man, wearing a purple dress, with a mustache used to decorate his majesty, and his expression is serious.

"Everyone."

Due to the infusion of inner breath, the voice was extremely penetrating, and it kept reverberating in the square, so that Qu Chen, who was about to say hello to Bo Xue, had to swallow his words back.

After the owner spoke, the originally noisy square gradually quieted down. Regardless of whether they were rebellious or not, in Xiaoyao Villa, the owners must be treated with some kindness.

The owner said in a deep voice:

"It is really helpless to call everyone today."

"Everyone knows that the ancestors of my Xiaoyao Mountain Villa have been helped by righteous men, so I can continue to this day. For hundreds of years, Xiaoyao Mountain Villa has always opened its gates, giving back to the martial arts without asking for anything in return..."

When he said this, there was no need to deliberately pause, the people in the Jianghu below all spoke up one after another, whether it was a strong man with a height of eight feet or a gentleman dressed in elegant clothes, they all showed their approval.

"Yan Zhuang's righteousness, everyone remembers it in their hearts!"

"I am ashamed to say that I have not repaid the great kindness of the owner of the villa."

"......"

Although the voices below were noisy, the opinions expressed were relatively unified, and that was a compliment to the words of the owner of Xiaoyao Village just now.

It's not that the owner of the villa deliberately placed some trustees in the crowd to speak for himself, but what most people think.

Xiaoyao Villa not only receives celebrities and children of wealthy and powerful families, but they also often help impoverished people in the Jianghu, so they have a very good reputation in the Jianghu.Those people from the rivers and lakes who were aided fed back to Xiaoyao Villa after they became successful and famous, and a good story has been made since then.

Thanks to the fact that the family of the owner of Xiaoyao Villa is a noble family, otherwise, according to such an injustice method, the three Xiaoyao Villas would not be enough to compensate.

"Cough cough."

The owner of Xiaoyao Villa coughed, stretched out his hand and pressed it in mid-air, and the field immediately fell silent.

He sincerely said: "Thanks to the love of my comrades in the world..."

At this moment, an impatient voice sounded from the edge of the square, interrupting the owner of Xiaoyao's speech.

"That's enough... You praise me and I praise you. The surname is Yan. This prince didn't give you face. You said that something happened in the villa. In this hot weather, I still behave here Come to listen to your speech, this is your place after all, but you can't explain what it means for a long time. Can you be more succinct, and explain clearly if you have anything to do?"

When the audience was silent, only this impatient voice sounded. The self-proclaimed 'Prince Ben' really attracted people's attention. Ming Zongyi couldn't help but look... the shadow on the edge of the square At the same place, a young man in a fine attire was half lying on a chair, his expression was very haughty, two maids beside him were fanning for him, and three eunuchs stood behind him.

"That is the Thirteenth Prince."

Qu Chen and Bo Xue got together to chat quietly, and Bo Xi and Ming Zongyi naturally leaned together, she lowered her voice and whispered softly.

"In fact, the Wu Dynasty had a summer resort specially provided by the royal family...but this thirteenth prince's character is too bad, he is not favored in the palace, and he doesn't have much power. I guess he doesn't want to hang around in front of his brothers. , so I came here...Of course, it is also possible that I defiled myself in order to protect myself."

Perhaps because Boxi was a little closer, Ming Zongyi could smell a faint fragrance from her body.

Ming Zongyi completely understood what Bo Xi said.

The national teacher and the prince disappeared together. The old emperor relied on the national teacher to continue his life. As a result, both of them disappeared. The whole person was almost sent away directly. Now he is hanging half dead.

Today's capital city is a place where wind and clouds meet... This summer is especially hot, and the summer resort specially provided by the royal family is probably very lively. If you are not interested in the throne, staying there is simply not enough for yourself happy.

Having said that, although the thirteenth prince is not favored, he is a prince after all, and he is still a lawless lord when he comes to Xiaoyao Villa. His current attitude is not incomprehensible.As a prince, he came here to listen to the speech of the owner of Xiaoyao Village.

This is the reason.But the thirteenth prince was lying on a chair, and there was a little maid shaking a fan beside him. The quacks who were basking in the sun in the square did not complain, but he complained in the shadows.

It can only be said that everyone has their own ideas, just like there are some impatient people who think that the thirteenth prince is right and speak up for them.

"The thirteenth prince, stay safe and don't be impatient." Faced with this situation, the owner of Xiaoyao Village looked calm, without humility, "When it's time to speak, I will naturally speak."

The thirteenth prince narrowed his eyes, but did not speak.

After that, the owner of Xiaoyao Villa said a few more words on the scene, but the reaction of the martial arts people below was much less... The prince who is no longer favored is also a prince, and they don't want to be targeted by the thirteen princes.

After two sentences, the owner of Xiaoyao Village entered the topic.

"I think everyone has heard some news. I don't want to hide it from you. Last night, Xu Wu and Xu Shaoxia died in his courtyard. It was not discovered until this morning. The house was in a mess. Turned everything upside down. I also got news that Xu Shaoxia had publicly demonstrated his cultivation method, the Inner Universe Scripture a few days ago, and this cultivation method has caused a lot of noise in recent days.

Although the people in the Jianghu had expected it, but when these words were really uttered from the mouth of the owner of Xiaoyao Village, it still made people's backs shudder.

If this is the Datianluo Demon Sect, then there is nothing to say. It is nothing to kill some people, but this is Xiaoyao Villa, and killing people here is really courageous, just like Xiang Dongwen from Shangyang Mountain back then. .

The owner of Xiaoyao Villa had unquestionable strength in his tone, and he said slowly: "Xiaoyao Villa is the foundation left by my ancestors, and all the people who come here are guests of my Xiaoyao Villa, and now someone died here, I will never pretend that I didn't see it, I will definitely find out this villain, but..."

Some martial arts people in the field reacted, and then the owner of Xiaoyao said:

"But, we people have to stay in the villa, we can't go out, right?"

"That's right." The owner of Xiaoyao Villa nodded slowly and heavily, "It's not that I made it difficult for you, but you must stay today. I know this is a difficult request, but someone died in my villa today. , I have to catch this villain and give an explanation to the world, to prove that my Xiaoyao Villa is not a place where murderers commit crimes!"

He paused, his tone softened a bit.

"However, I won't make it difficult for you... seven days, comrades, please give me seven days, and I will try my best to find the villain. If I still can't find the villain after seven days, then everyone You can leave."

Chapter 18 Putting the Cart before the Horse

As soon as the owner of Xiaoyao Village said this, there was a sudden commotion in the square.

Staying in Xiaoyao Villa for seven days is of course nothing. Most of the people in the square didn't plan to leave within seven days.

However, staying voluntarily is different from being forced to stay, let alone a ruthless character who murdered in the villa. Although it is common for martial arts people to have a few lives in their hands, it is really rare to do it in Xiaoyao Villa. No wonder the owner of Xiaoyao Village was so angry.

A Xu Wu, or a scripture of Inner Universe, is not important to Xiaoyao Villa, what is important is that he must give an explanation, otherwise Xiaoyao Villa will be disgraced, and it will not have the face to accept more customers.

"Cough cough..."

This period of blankness is obviously the discussion time left by the owner of Xiaoyao Village for the martial arts people. There was a lot of noise under the square, and Bo Xue also coughed. Couldn't touch it.

"Axi...go get me some medicine and put it under my pillow."

"Yes."

Bo Xi responded, turned around and ran to the courtyard.

Bo Xue watched her back and left the square, then immediately returned to normal, and said in a low voice, "It seems that you came here for that."

Ming Zongyi was immersed in Bo Xue's freely changing acting skills, and there was a hint of shock in his voice.

"Huh?...Yes."

He came back to his senses and asked, "Brother Bo thinks how to deal with it?"

Bo Xue looked calm, and asked:

"How do you think the owner of Xiaoyao Village will find the villain?"

Ming Zongyi pondered for a moment.

"The gangsters are doing it for the inner world scriptures, so let's assume that Xu Wu really has this book and the gangsters have already got it. As the only stolen goods so far, they must start from this aspect." Ming Zongyi said, "What's more Now the owner of Xiaoyao Villa has sealed off the villa, presumably to search out the scriptures of the inner universe... But martial arts people should be more resistant to this, everyone has their own secrets, not to mention that there are some big figures living in Xiaoyao Villa , the search may not go well."

"Not to mention that the Inner Huanyu Zhenjing is not a whole box of gold, silver and jewelry. It is just a book. With such a small size, it will not be too difficult to hide... At first glance, it seems that it should be read from I started with this book, but after thinking about it, it’s unlikely.”

It's like in the ancient martial arts novels, the protagonist hides in the boudoir of Princess xx/Miss to avoid the pursuers, and the captain of the guard and the like dare not venture in due to various reasons.

Some things are quite simple to think about, but the executive power of any organization is not unlimited. The owner of Xiaoyao Village has a bit of face, but he is not the supreme imperial power after all, nor is he the leader of the Datianluo Demon Sect who says nothing. Not to mention, as for the thirteenth prince who is lying in the back now, does the owner of Xiaoyao Villa dare to go in and turn his things upside down?

Obviously not possible.

After Ming Zongyi made an analysis, Qu Chen nodded slightly, but Bo Xue didn't respond.

He said flatly: "It's roughly correct...Actually, regarding the search for the scriptures in the inner universe, if the leader of the Datianluo Demon Sect is here, he can send people to search for it when he gathers us together. In our courtyard, at the same time, those of us will be searched one by one, so that the search for the inner world truth can be ended in the simplest and most efficient way."

Ming Zongyi was a little puzzled and asked, "Brother Bo, are you sure he won't do this?"

The Inner Universe scripture is now on Qu Chen's body. When he went out, Ming Zongyi guessed that he might be searched and searched the courtyard, so he quietly gave the things to Qu Chen, thinking that with Qu Chen's strength, even if he was searched, he would be safe. Space for operation——As for the destruction, someone was urging at the door at that time, and it was impossible to completely destroy the Inner Universe Scripture.

And now that Bo Xue is speaking, she seems to believe that the owner of Xiaoyao Village will not act overbearingly like the leader of Datianluo Demon Sect...Ming Zongyi doesn't know why he can be so sure.

Bo Xue asked: "Why does the owner of Xiaoyao Village want to find the villain?"

This question may sound like an idiot at first glance, but after thinking about it, Ming Zongyi said slowly, "Speaking for justice...seems impossible, it should be to preserve the face of Xiaoyao Villa Right? After all, my doorman was killed by someone suspected of being 'one of my own' at home, and it would be embarrassing if I didn't find out."

"Yes, but not enough." Bo Xue said lightly, "Xiaoyao Villa avenges Xu Wu in order not to chill the hearts of other disciples, even if Xu Wu didn't die because of the mission of Xiaoyao Villa... here Under the same premise, if a body search and house search are forcibly searched, what is that?"

"Put the cart before the horse!"

"Revenge for Xu Wu is to buy people's hearts, but forcibly searching the body and residence, which martial arts person can bear this kind of thing, who can feel comfortable? This will make the martial arts people feel that they have become slaves, without even a little privacy and dignity There will be, as long as Xiaoyaoshanzhuang has a whim, it can turn everything upside down for you."

"In this case, who else will be the guest of Xiaoyao Villa?"

Ming Zongyi nodded slowly, but Qu Chen was a little puzzled, he said softly: "Brother Bo's words are too absolute... What if the owner of Xiaoyao Village is really determined to find the villain?"

"No, senior brother." Before Bo Xue could speak, Ming Zongyi shook his head at Qu Chen, "Because Bo brother has already done the test just now."

"...?" Qu Chen was stunned, "Test?"

"You're really slow." Bo Xue coughed again, "Ahem...do you think I let Bo Xi leave just to drive her away?"

Qu Chen was startled for a moment, then he came to his senses and suddenly realized.

"That's how it is... If you really make up your mind, you won't let people enter and leave the square at will, and you will definitely control everyone, but Miss Bo went out easily, and no one stopped her. "

Qu Chen said, and sighed slightly again.

"There was no need to cause such trouble, but it's a pity that this technique comes from Buddhism in the Western Regions. The transaction involves the Undead Demon Buddha, so it is inconvenient to tell outsiders... and the Western Regions are too far away. Those who want Buddhism It’s not easy to endorse.”

Bo Xue shrugged, noncommittal.

"The Inner Universe Scripture is indeed an important clue, but the owner of Xiaoyao Village will not use such a violent and brutal method to search for villains. You can keep this thing by yourself, and basically nothing will happen."

He said lightly: "Of course, if you are really worried, you can go back and destroy it... The premise is that you are confident that you can write these more than 4000 words verbatim after a long time. It’s not Xiaobai anymore. If you make a mistake in a word about exercises, you might die, not to mention that there are all kinds of strange terms in this exercise, which are obscure and unrelated. It’s not easy to remember. It doesn't seem necessary."

In addition, there is another sentence that Bo Xue didn't say - unless there is a 'murderer' first, then there is a 'victim'. In that case, something may happen if the scriptures of the inner world are left behind, but if this is the case, then It's the same whether you stay or not, and there's no reason why you want to commit a crime.
