Qin Suzhou can be sure that he only entered the house a stick of incense ago. At that time, the corpse was not hanging at the door of the house, and there was no place to hide the corpse around.There were no wounds on the corpse other than the strangle marks on the neck. He carefully checked the inside pocket of the corpse's coat, but found nothing.
The entire courtyard fell into a long silence, until it was interrupted by a female voice.
"Young Master Qin, you have seen it too," Mu Yan's voice came from behind them, "Father's death is definitely related to everyone present, please ask Young Master Qin to come with me."
Qin Suzhou twitched the corners of his mouth, and gave a fake smile, "Ms. Muyan, I already said that I don't like you, so I'm afraid it's disgraceful to be so shameless."
Mu Yan rolled her eyes, and said in a sweet voice, "Then Mr. Qin is not willing?"
Qin Suzhou said regretfully, "The Burning Curse just now should have been drawn bigger."
The two looked at each other, and the silent gunpowder filled the air.Mu Yan made the first move, untied a soft sword from his wrist, and threw it straight at his chest!
Qin Suzhou's spiritual power declined, but at least his basic skills were still there. He tapped his toes lightly and took a few steps back, but his arm was still scratched by the blade of the sword, and his crow-blue robe darkened faintly.
"You don't have enough spiritual power to beat me. If you surrender, you can still avoid being injured." Mu Yan flicked the soft sword indifferently, and there was a whistling sound in the air.
"The first half of the sentence is good, but the second half..." Qin Suzhou smiled leisurely, "Ms. Muyan still thinks too simply."
Mu Yan was startled, and as soon as his words fell, there was a burning pain in the palm of her hand, which made her let go of her hand and swung the soft sword. Only then did she realize that Qin Suzhou had used blood as a pretext to end the fight just now. A Burning Curse!
The soft sword will not burn like clothes, but it will spread the heat like a branding iron to the palm of her hand. She only held it for a moment, and the palm of her hand was already scalded with huge blisters.
Qin Suzhou didn't wait for her to react. The moment she saw her throwing down her weapon in pain, she jumped onto the roof and quickly ran out of Yingshan Medicine Workshop.However, Mu Yan seemed to have been given a death order, even if the skin on his palms, back and front feet were scalded, he would pursue him relentlessly.
When facing each other, they can still use some tricks, but in this kind of long-distance pursuit, the disadvantage of lack of spiritual power is revealed.Qin Suzhou clicked his lips, thinking that the spirit foundation is broken anyway, so it's better to overdraw it.
Just as he was thinking, just as he jumped out of the gate of Yingshan Medicine Workshop, an ice pick shot up out of thin air behind him, forcing Mu Yan to stop and subconsciously jumped back.Unexpectedly, a pair of swords were screaming and waiting for the rabbit, Muyan stretched out her hand in panic to block it, one sharp sword stuck on the sandalwood ring on her left middle finger and bounced away, the other took the opportunity to pierce her shoulder, and slammed Choking out a mouthful of blood fell down.
"Minggu, go home!" Yan Jue jumped up from behind the ice cone, recalled his two swords, picked up Qin Suzhou's waist when Muyan fell to the ground, and led him into the criss-crossing streets of Yangcheng.
……
I was carried twice by someone on the waist today, which is really too cheap.
Qin Suzhou struggled to get off Yan Jue's body, but someone pinched the soft flesh on his waist forcefully in a warning manner. He was so angry that he just wanted to draw seven or eight hundred burning spells on his back, and he couldn't be burned to death!
As a result, before one had time to draw, Yan Jue took him to an inn and put him down.
Qin Suzhou glanced at the upper room, but found no barrier of confinement, "Why don't you leave?"
"Wen Ruan and the others are missing." Yan Jue said, healing the wound on his arm.
"..." Qin Suzhou was taken aback, "What? Bihaijiao and the others dare to move?"
No matter how embarrassing the current situation with Bihaijiao is, Qin Suzhou still has to admit that Bihaijiao has a high status in the cultivation world, and can be called a pillar-like existence, and ordinary small sects dare not provoke him at all.
"And Mu Yan said that Mu Heng was dead, Yangcheng was blocked, I couldn't get out, and even Xinhe was stopped, so I went back to Yingshan Medicine Workshop to find you." Yan Jue's expression was not good, and he received the treatment "Okay, brother, move your arm to see if it still hurts?"
The letter crane is the unique secret technique of Bihaijiao disciples to send letters. Draw a crane on the paper, cast a spell to seal the message you want to send, and the paper crane will fly into the sky and fly to the recipient with the message. .
In the final analysis, this is a curse seal. If it is stopped, Yangcheng will probably be surrounded by an enchantment.I don't know what's going on outside, and the news can't get out. People in the city disappeared strangely again. It's extremely weird, almost the worst situation.
Qin Suzhou moved his arms, feeling that it was okay, and thanked him politely.
Yan Jue thought for a while and continued, "I don't think they will touch Bihaijiao. We just passed by. We took Wen Ruan and the others away because they were probably afraid that they would get in the way, so we shouldn't take their lives."
"They don't want to take my life either." Qin Suzhou leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, "Mu Yan obviously had a chance, but he didn't make a killing move both times."
"Brother, let's join hands."
Qin Suzhou raised his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly.
"My junior and junior sisters are missing, I have to save them," Yan Jue said, "and my senior is being targeted by them. Given your current situation, I'm afraid you can't handle it alone. Also, I find the people here are very strange , must have been cursed..." He scratched his head, "I'm not familiar with spells, so I still have to ask my brother for help."
Qin Suzhou raised his eyebrows noncommittally.
"Brother," Yan Jue begged, "I won't cause trouble, don't drive me away, okay?"
Qin Suzhou closed his eyes and let out a breath.
"Where are the people?"
Yan Jue was stunned, "What?"
"You mean someone who has been cursed."
Yan Jue blinked, and his face slowly showed joy, "It's the girl who sold flowers just now, I'll take my brother there."
……
The interior of Yangcheng was very peaceful and peaceful, and the cries of small vendors rang out one after another.
"Osmanthus cake, selling osmanthus cake!"
"Candied haws, fresh and big candied haws!"
"It's a sugar figurine! Little girl, young man, do you want a sugar figurine?"
The streets were bustling with people, but Qin Suzhou still felt that something was wrong, and he was always on guard against Mu Yan falling from the sky along the way.
Seeing that he was nervous, Yan Jue patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brother, don't worry, I just stabbed the burn on her back with the sword, she was seriously injured, and she couldn't catch up for a while."
"Oh?" Qin Suzhou raised his eyebrows, "Then why did you run so fast with me on your back?"
"..."
"You still pinch my waist?"
"Then what?" Yan Jue looked up at the sky, "Look, brother, the sun is really nice today."
Qin Suzhou rolled his eyes and kicked him.
They quickly returned to the girl Qiqi who sold flowers. The little girl smiled when she saw him, showing two pointed canine teeth.
"What kind of flowers does this fairy want?"
Qin Suzhou stopped abruptly.
But Qiqi turned a blind eye to his surprise, and still sold the flowers on her own, "This peach blossom is the most delicate and beautiful, so you can definitely give it to your sweetheart. This apricot blossom is quiet and quiet, and it's the most suitable for decoration in the house." She There was a slight smile on his face, "Then if an immortal can't make up his mind, how about white camellia? Although it is not as strong as other flowers, it is better than blooming for a long time, and it can live for a long time in a bottle." .”
While talking, she suddenly saw Yan Jue behind him, her eyes lit up, "Brother Yan?"
"..." Qin Suzhou was silent for a while, then turned to look at Yan Jue, "How did she recognize you?"
"Old acquaintance, I saved her when I passed by Yangcheng last year when I was slaying demons." Yan Jue said.
"The owner of Yingshan Medicine Workshop celebrated his birthday recently, and many immortals have come here. The business here is much better than usual!" Qiqi was still chattering, "Hey! Immortals are also here to attend the owner's birthday, right? You're still early It’s better to go later, I heard that the owner of the workshop will give you some medicine, but if you go late, you won’t be able to take it.”
Qin Suzhou frowned, knelt down and picked up her wrist. On her little finger was the storage ring that Yan Jue gave her this morning. The flowers on the ground still looked like they were overturned by Wen Ruan, which meant that what happened in the morning was not because they were caught by her. It's something people imagined when they were drugged, but it actually happened here, but Qi Qi doesn't remember it.
At this time, the sound of hawking on the side of the road reached my ears again.
"Osmanthus cake, selling osmanthus cake!"
"Candied haws, fresh and big candied haws!"
"It's a sugar figurine! Little girl, young man, do you want a sugar figurine?"
Sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, candied haws, sugar-making figures... Qin Suzhou suddenly sensed that something was wrong from the very beginning.
The order and interval of selling have never changed, the flow of people coming and going has never changed, their words and actions have never changed, the flowers that were knocked over and then recovered, and the monks who kept repeating conversations at the banquet...
——It's all in a constant cycle!
——Not only the Yingshan Medicine Workshop, but the whole Yangcheng...is like a mechanism that has been set up in advance, repeating the same action in a loop!
"Brother, did you think of something?" Yan Jue looked at his expression and asked tentatively, "Is there some kind of curse on her?"
"I'll try to see if I can solve it." Qin Suzhou picked up a flower from the stall, put it in front of her, stared into her eyes and recited the formula silently.
Qi Qi blinked and stared at the branch of flowers, and after a spell passed, nothing happened, and she continued to repeat what she said just now.
"No." Qin Suzhou dropped the flower branch, stood up with a frown.
"Senior brother just used...a puppet technique, right?" Yan Jue guessed, "That spell can confuse people for a short time."
"I know a lot." Qin Suzhou glanced at him and nodded, "That's right, but you missed the most important point. Puppetry can only control the living."
Yan Jue was startled.
"Then... is she dead?"
"It's not impossible," Qin Suzhou narrowed his eyes as he looked at Qiqi, who was facing Yan Jue's flushed cheeks, "Corpse is harder to control than living things, but I've been studying spell seals for so long, and I haven't found any spell seal that can kill a person." The corpse is controlled so vividly, it can cry, laugh and be shy."
"Could it be an illusion?" Yan Jue said again, "We were actually fascinated by people without knowing it. These people are all fake, so they repeat the same thing repeatedly."
"I've thought about this too," Qin Suzhou frowned, "but isn't the purpose of illusions to be real? Why repeat a certain movement to make people feel wrong?"
"It may be that the spiritual power is not enough, so I can only fool around like this. After all, it is such a big illusion, and there are so many people."
"On the contrary, if this person can create such a large illusion and make so many dummies, then he has the ability to make the dummies more real." Qin Suzhou frowned and retorted, "Do you think a cook who can cook a full banquet of Han people would Will it reduce the quality of each dish because it burns ninety-nine and 81 dishes?"
Yan Jue pinched the center of her brows with a headache, "Then what's going on..."
Qin Suzhou exhaled and waved, "Come with me."
Yan Jue followed him to the bottom of a small bridge not far behind Qiqi's stall. The soil on the bank of the river was wet and sticky, and he could slip into the river if he didn't pay attention.Yan Jue noticed that apart from the ones left by the two of them now, there were still a series of footprints in the mud under his feet.
Qin Suzhou stopped when he reached the dark place under the bridge hole, and turned sideways to signal Yan Jue to come closer.
A pair of legs exposed in the only sunlight left under the bridge hole, judging by the style of the shoes, it is a man...or a male corpse.
"Drag it out and take a look." Qin Suzhou leaned against the edge of the bridge hole with his arms crossed, and shrugged at him.
Yan Jue stepped forward in doubt, and pulled the man out of the shadows. When the sun fell on the man's face, his movements visibly paused.
"This person..." He wasn't very familiar with him, but he felt a little familiar.
"It's the owner of Yingshan Medicine Workshop, Mu Heng."
"...Mu Yan said that Mu Heng died in the pharmacy by hanging, did she lie?"
"No, the one in the pharmacy is the second Muheng."
"...the first one, the second one?" Yan Jue was stunned, looking at him, "How do you know which one is the first one and which one is the second one?"
"Can't you see?" Qin Suzhou raised his eyes to meet him, "I killed this one."
The entire courtyard fell into a long silence, until it was interrupted by a female voice.
"Young Master Qin, you have seen it too," Mu Yan's voice came from behind them, "Father's death is definitely related to everyone present, please ask Young Master Qin to come with me."
