Capture the Jade

The hall was surprisingly silent, heavy breathing came and went, and someone screamed, which immediately caused countless screams.

"Ah, ah, ah, it's dead."

"Help, run away!"

Actors and ladies, you pushed me, and fled like headless flies. In the chaos, there was only a screeching sound, and the yamen drew their knives and stopped at the door.

Lin Chengyou shouted sharply: "If you dare to act rashly again, it will be punished as causing chaos. If you are not afraid of being tortured, take a step and try!"

Everyone was shaking all over, and hurriedly withdrew their steps.

Yan Sizhi hurried to Lin Chengyou's side to check on Yao Huang, reached under his nose and touched his neck, and his pulse was gone.

Lin Chengyou's face was not much better: "It looks like a rotten heart grass, it's too late to save it."

The chill in his eyes was terrifying, and he looked up at everyone while speaking, his eyes swept from left to right, as if he wanted to burn everyone's expressions into his eyes.

"Everyone stays where they are and cannot move without a search."

People came to Dali Temple very quickly, because Caifeng Tower was mostly women, this time, in addition to the usual yasu, two aunties who searched women's bodies came, and called the people in the hall one by one to search. Got nothing.

When it was Teng Yuyi's turn, Teng Yuyi took the initiative to hand over the machine in her belt. According to her, the perpetrator was in the hall. To find the murderer as soon as possible, she should fully cooperate with the search.

Auntie Zuo was taken aback when she saw Ji Kuo, and while watching Teng Yuyi, she told another aunt to rush back to Lin Chengyou with something.

Teng Yuyi had a clear conscience and waited quietly for Dali Temple to release her.

After Lin Chengyou and Yan Sizhi saw it, they really asked Mrs. Zuo to let Teng Yuyi go.

Teng Yuyi took Ji Kuo calmly. Although there are hidden weapons and poisons, the poison is not deadly. Although Lin Chengyou likes to fight against her, he is not stupid at all. The real murderer has not yet appeared, and he will never make things difficult for people at this moment no matter how boring he is.

But there was always a lot of poison hidden in it, she was vaguely worried that Lin Chengyou would confiscate it, but when she opened the machine, she saw that everything was complete.

She wondered that these hidden weapons were extremely cunning and sinister. Lin Chengyou suffered a loss last time. She had guessed that it was because he saw this pile of things that she was not a good person. Paul, how can you care so much.

Tonight, he only looked at the hidden weapon and confiscated her powder, which is strange enough. Shouldn't he be busy investigating the murderer, so he can't take action for a while.

After the autopsy over there, it was found that Yao Huang died of poisoning, and the poison needle was inserted into the back of the corpse, which is exactly what Lin Chengyou said "rotten heart grass".

This medicine came from the Great Food Nation decades ago. It took more than half an hour from poisoning to poisoning. Once it started, the victim's eyes were stained with indigo blue, and he died of suffocation in an instant. The drug can be solved, and it was once listed as a banned drug. After several searches and bans, it is not common in Fanglu now.

After Yan Sizhi listened to the reply, he turned to look at Lin Chengyou in amazement: "About half an hour? Didn't the murderer have already started before Yao Huang confessed? At that time, Ge Jin was arrested in Wei Zi's room for an assassination attempt, which is the most chaotic place in Caifeng Building. At the moment, if you look at it like this, everyone in the building is suspicious."

Lin Chengyou leaned over and looked at the poisonous needle: "The rotten heart grass has the effect of paralyzing the body and skin, this needle is as thin as a hair, and it does not hurt or itch when nailed to the skin, so Yao Huang did not notice anything unusual on his body until he died. The murderer knew about the relationship between Yao Huang and Qingzhi before us, so he might have had the intention to kill a long time ago, just in time for Ge Jin and Wei Zi to be arguing tonight, and he would not attract attention if he took advantage of the chaos."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at everyone. The murderer was more cautious and decisive than he thought. He never imagined that a small Caifeng Building could hide such a talent.

At this time, the yamen came back and reported: "Everyone's house has been searched, and neither rotten grass nor related murder objects have been found."

Lin Chengyou said: "The poison is extremely sharp, and the murderer can't possibly put it in his sleeve alone. I guess there is something wrapped up outside. From Hongxiang Garden to the front building, there are rockeries and flowers along the road. Discard it on the road, and you can go to the places I mentioned and look for it."

Yan Sizhi has always been gentle and attentive, and when Lin Chengyou finished speaking, he ardently urged the officers: "That thing is highly poisonous and has no cure, so be careful when you search it."

After this search, Tianliang was found. The yamen searched every corner, but still did not find anything suspicious.

The people in the hall had already searched, and all those who should be questioned had finished, so Lin Chengyou handed over the front building to Yan Sizhi, and went to the back to find it himself.

When the yamen found the garden at the back, Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi climbed out from under the incense table in the small Buddhist hall. The eyes were full of dust. The two of them cleaned the bottom all night, and when they came out, they had become gray men.

The yamen officers were startled when they suddenly saw two fat gray things emerging from the ground. When they saw that they were two children, they were arrested as thieves without a word.

Juesheng and Qizhi stayed in the eyes of the formation all night, not knowing what happened in the front building, they only struggled with their necks: "Mighty men, you have arrested the wrong person, we are not bad people, we are Taoist priests of Qingyun Temple."

Several yamen servants were called temporarily to run errands, and they didn't know much about Caifenglou's recent affairs: "Huh, how dare you pretend to be the Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple?"

After pushing and shoving to the vicinity of Hongxiang Garden, Juesheng looked up to see Lin Chengyou, and hurriedly shouted: "Senior brother! Help us quickly."

Lin Chengyou was half-squatting in front of a peony bush, holding a long sword in his hand, not knowing what he was pulling, but the two officials around him recognized Juesheng and Qizhi, and hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. These two are Lin Pingshi's junior brothers and sisters. , let them go."

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi ran to Lin Chengyou in a flash, looking around in surprise.

"Senior brother, what happened, why are so many people here?"

Lin Chengyou used his scabbard to move the soil, abandoning his wisdom and looking intently, it turned out to be an earthworm hole.

The two started rolling up their sleeves: "Senior brother, are you looking for something? We'll help too."

Lin Chengyou raised his sword to fend off their arms: "Don't touch them. These grass mustards are full of dewdrops. In case the poisonous powder of the rotten heart grass dissolves into the water, it will stick to the holes in your hands when you touch it. Due to the toxicity of this thing, Enough is enough for you."

The official pulled Jue Sheng Qi Zhi aside and said, "Two Taoist priests, wait a moment, another death occurred in Caifeng Tower last night, and Lin Pingshi is looking for evidence."

"Human life? Who happened?"

"That lady named Yao Huang knows her."

The two took a deep breath, and all the yamen came back to resume their orders: "Sir, Yao Huang and Wei Zi's rooms have been searched, but nothing with hidden needles has been found."

Lin Chengyou snorted, got up and walked to the nearby small pool, tucked the corner of his robe into the jade belt around his waist, and stepped into the pool with one foot.

The pool water was rippling faintly, and it didn't cross his knees in an instant.

The officials were so nervous that they didn’t dare to come out. This Prince Cheng passed the Mingjing and system exams by his own abilities last year. He was appointed by the emperor to serve in Dali Temple. Although it was only the lowest level of evaluation, no one dared to do so. Treat him as a low-ranking official.

As they expected, after taking office, Lin Chengyou did not change his stubborn temperament, and all the newly appointed officials worked hard. , either lying under the porch of the East Hall, or sleeping on a tree.

Whenever Si Qing asked, Lin Chengyou said that he was reciting the code, and also said that Yasili was too noisy, so he only remembered prison when he was in a tree.

However, although this little gentleman is a fool, as long as there is any strange case, he will definitely change his normal routine. He investigates and searches with high spirits during the day, and also lives in Dali Temple at night. In just one year, several cases have been broken. Odd case.

"Lin Pingshi, the water is no better than the shore. Be careful of being stabbed by poisonous needles." The official greeted with trepidation, turned his head and said to the yamen, "There must be a ditch under the pond, go find a craftsman and drain all the water in the pond."

"I can't let it go." Lin Chengyou took the small bag net handed over from the shore and began to salvage it inch by inch. "The poisonous needle is as thin as a hair, and it will float around when the water waves. If all the water in the pond is pumped into the ditch, The poisonous needle may be washed away along the water, and there will be no trace at that time, isn't it just the intention of calling the murderer?"

The official's face was ashamed, and he raised his official robe: "I don't think about it carefully. This pond is said to be small or not, whether it is big or not. Lin commented on the matter. If you want to find out when to go by yourself, we will go into the water to help. "

Lin Chengyou stopped, "You don't have the cultivation base to resist the rotten grass, and you will be killed in an instant. Let my two junior brothers help you salvage it, and find them two net pockets."

Juesheng and Qizhi rushed into the water. The pond seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time. The water surface was covered with fallen flowers and fallen leaves. When they were stirred by the three of them with a net, a thick and strange smell filled the air.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi quietly pinched their noses, and the brothers who love cleanliness will only be more disgusting than them.

Lin Chengyou really raised his head and sighed: "My dear, I won't have to eat for three days if I smell it."

As he spoke, he tore off a piece of the sleeve of the snow-white tunic, tucked the front under the nose and tied the back in a knot.

The officials on the shore twitched, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. Lin Chengyou has always been suave and uninhibited, and he has done anything more absurd than this.

The three of them fished the pool carefully, but were surprised that they could not find anything suspicious.

Lin Chengyou looked at the rippling pond water, with a blank expression on his face for the first time. According to the medicinal properties of Rotten Heart Grass, Yao Huang was poisoned during the period when Ge Jin and Wei Zi were entangled. Watching the excitement outside Wei Zi's room, Yao Huang is no exception.

The murderer was among them, taking advantage of the crowd.

Afterwards, everyone was ordered to gather in the front building. In order not to arouse suspicion, the murderer would throw away the equipment containing the poison needles on the way. Then the people in the building were trapped in the front building. Things, but why did I search the garden and still didn't find anything suspicious.

The yamen officers were a little dejected: "Could that person be holding a poison needle with his bare hands?"

"But this is too risky. There is no cure for the poison of the rotten heart grass. The murderer is not afraid of hurting others, and he is not afraid of poisoning himself?"

The two officials said, "Lin Pingshi, I've been looking for this in the middle of the night, and I haven't even found the ant nest. If that thing was really here, I should have found it. I think it's nothing more than a bamboo tube, a sachet, etc. If you can't tell who the murderer is, why waste your efforts, it's better to forget it."

Lin Chengyou tore off the fabric under his nose and stepped ashore with one foot.

Then he took off his boots, poured the water inside, made sure there were no needles or the like, and put the boots back on his feet.

"How can we just forget it? If Qingzhi and Yao Huang were killed by the same person, the needle-hiding device was the only clue left by the murderer. If you ignore this clue, don't even think about finding this person. "

The yamen hurriedly said, "Then the subordinates will take a good look around."

Lin Chengyou looked at the pool and suddenly smiled: "But Liu Pingshi is right, if that thing was really lost on the way, it would have been found long ago. Don't waste your efforts here, we also missed the most important thing. one place."

Everyone looked around in amazement: "Where?"

The group returned to the front building, and Yan Sizhi hurriedly greeted him: "Have you found it?"

"I didn't find it." Lin Chengyou quickly stepped into the hall, "So I'm back again."

Yan Sizhi was shocked: "Can that thing fly?"

"Can't fly." Lin Chengyou walked straight towards the actors.

He Mingsheng, Caly Ji and the others were stunned, Lin Chengyou's robe and sleeves were soaked, as if he had just climbed out of the water.

Teng Yuyi thought to herself, Lin Chengyou had even looked in the water, but what she didn't expect was that he would go into the water himself in order to investigate the case.

Then why don't you keep looking? This is important evidence. If it was her, she had to dig three feet in the ground to find things. Suddenly changed my mind, wait a minute, shouldn't it be—

If this is the case, the murderer's courage is too big.

Lin Chengyou walked around the actor and suddenly raised his voice: "Search."

The yamen replied, "Yes."

Everyone was in a panic, and they had already searched their bodies just now, not to mention the clothes and shoes, not even the bun, and they didn't hide it, so why did they search again.

Soon a yamen said: "Lin Pingshi! I found it! Just stuff it under the desk."

The man was half-squatting on a piece of paper, tilting his neck and looking up. There are seven or eight such coffee tables in the hall. When feasting at night, guests can either eat around the table or sit at separate tables.

Lin Chengyou and Yan Si squatted down to take a look, and quickly picked the thing down with their sword hilts.

Everyone was surprised and whispered, it was a small sachet.

Lin Chengyou smiled sarcastically: "It's really hidden in the hall."

Touching the satin surface, it is estimated that there are dozens of fine needles hidden in it. If you want to bury a thick pile of cloth, you only need to pierce the needles of the poison needles into it, so even if you carry it close to your body, you don't have to worry about piercing yourself. .

"The murderer simply didn't take Dali Temple in his eyes." Yan Sizhi's face turned dark, "In front of the public, how did he hide it... I remembered that there were two chaos in the hall. Madam Huang, the people in the hall were busy pulling a fight into a mess. Another time, Madam Yao Huang died suddenly of poison, and the actors rushed out... Could it be that time?"

Lin Chengyou glanced coldly at the crowd of people, and everyone looked terrified. But this is not surprising, this person has no last resort, and it is absolutely impossible to show his tricks at this time.

He was only a little strange, there were countless dark corners along the way to leave this thing behind, and the murderer wanted to hide things under the case under the eyes of everyone. I don't know whether this person is daring or conceited to the extreme.

If he didn't kill him suddenly, things would come back to that person sooner or later. Everyone has been searched, and no one can think of searching again. something to take away.

Lin Chengyou smelled the sachet, and there was no scent of half silk. The satin surface was colorful, and the petals were woven with colorful silver threads. The material was common brocade, but the embroidery surface was magnificent and ingenious.

So sophisticated and delicate, it is obviously a woman's thing.

He thought coldly in his heart: what if the organization is exhausted, since I have found the thing, the rest of the matter can't be left to you.

***

Yao Huang's corpse was soon sent to Dali Temple, and the Caifeng Tower was turned upside down by Lin Chengyou. Unfortunately, the murderer was very cunning.

After seeing noon, Lin Chengyou and Yan Sizhi planned to take the sachets to the cloth shop and embroidery workshop to find clues. Juesheng abandoned wisdom and had nowhere to go, so they came out too, but when they came out of the building, Juesheng's stomach said " Gollum." The sky shook.

The two rubbed their belly. From midnight last night to noon today, they hadn't even eaten a piece of hu pie.

This move was quite indecent, and Lin Chengyou would definitely beat his junior brother and shudder **** weekdays, but fortunately, he was probably busy listening to Yan Sizhi's words and didn't even turn his head back.

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi secretly looked at the Hu cake shop on the side of the road as they walked. The senior brother was afraid that he was hungry too.

Guess Lin Chengyou agreed to go to the cloth shop, and temporarily turned to the Hu restaurant last time. After sitting down, he called the Hu man named He Mo out and asked him to make a few glutinous rice cakes himself.

Jue Sheng Qi Zhi almost burst into tears on the spot, but the senior brother didn't say anything, but he still loved them in his heart.

Soon the cake and soup were on the table, Yan Sizhi was enthusiastically stuffed a piece of glutinous rice in his hand by Qizhi, thanked him, but didn't have the appetite to eat it: "Although rotten heart grass is a banned drug, it is only banned. On the bright side, there are still Hu people in Dashi, Uighur and other places who risk selling this drug at high prices, covering Guanlong, Hezhong, Jianghuai and other roads. The clues are so complicated. The guests of Caifenglou come from all over the world. Finding the murderer is almost impossible."

Lin Chengyou looked at Juesheng Jizhi and said, "Have you eaten enough? Take the food back to Caifenglou to eat. Yan Sizhi and I have something to discuss."

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi happily said: "Senior brother, Yan Sizhi, eat slowly."

The two held the gluttonous in their arms and ran away in a hurry.

Lin Chengyou cleaned his hands and threw the towel aside: "Don't you think it's strange for Yan Sizhi, since the murderer is a cautious person, why did he strike when Wudao and I were living in Caifenglou? The first time I killed Qingzhi, although Pretending to be suicide, but it is also very easy to reveal the clues, so that person is sure that he will not reveal his flaws? Why don't we wait until we leave Caifenglou? At that time, He Mingsheng and others will not think too much, just treat Qingzhi as short-sighted, Send it out and bury it."

Yan Sizhi raised the wine cup halfway and put it down: "I'm also surprised by this. When we found out about the pair of golden arm bracelets, we all believed that Yao Huang killed his own sister. There was a conflict between the sisters because of their interests. Huang was afraid that Qingzhi would show off their activities, so he was eager to kill Qingzhi, but judging from what Yao Huang said before his death, it was not like she killed Qingzhi..."

"Anything else, it's a fact that Yao Huang doesn't know martial arts." Lin Chengyou popped a dze bead from his sleeve and pinched it at his fingertips.

Yan Sizhi hurriedly said: "The prince wanted to test Yao Huang's martial arts?"

Lin Chengyou smiled and said, "You'll know after a try. Even if people are not afraid of death, they will instinctively protect their eyes, but when I used it to kill Yao Huang's eyes, she even took the least self-protection. No. Yan Sizhi, do you remember the holes on Qingzhi's outer garment?"

"Naturally remember, it is precisely because of the discovery of these holes that you suspect that Qingzhi did not commit suicide. I remember you said that it was a trick."

"Yes, pull Qingzhi into the well like a puppet, and then disguise the illusion of suicide. The location of the needle's eye is hidden, and it is difficult to see the clue after being wet with water. I didn't expect to look closely at the chest and abdomen of the corpse. As long as I looked at the corpse's chest and abdomen, I would have missed these holes. I won't mention it beforehand. To implement this trick, you need to know the birth date of Qingzhi and have a certain amount of internal strength. Xiuwei, but I tried it with Zelzhu, and Yao Huang obviously doesn't have that ability."

"Who is the murderer?" Yan Sizhi sighed sighingly, "It can be designed to this step, it can be seen that it is not a temporary intention. If there are such people in the city, why should we wait until you are gone before starting."

Lin Chengyou stared at the amber nectar in the wine cup: "I guess for the murderer, Qingzhi has already reached the point where he has to die. The murderer is afraid of long nights and dreams, so he can't wait for a few days."

"This..." Yan Si's eyes showed confusion, "Qingzhi is just a rough servant girl, and she doesn't have a lot of money in her hand, so Tucai won't look for her; if Tucai dies, she will be fully clothed and her body will not be harmed. Could it be that The murderer has a deadly handle in Qingzhi's hands, but what is the deadly handle that allows the murderer to kill two people in a row."

Lin Chengyou dipped a toothpick in wine and drew a few strokes on the table: "Actually, since the incident, there are several things that make people feel unbelievable. Qingzhi looks silly, but in fact he is stubborn and cold, even if he personally destroys Ge Jin's appearance. She also eats and drinks as usual, but she suddenly started having nightmares a few days ago. I guess she was either injected with poison to confuse her mind, or she was uneasy, but from the post-mortem examination, Qingzhi showed no signs of taking poison in the first few days before her death. This is strange, why a person who can be called a stubborn stone is suddenly scared to the point of nightmares."

Yan Sizhi pondered: "Did Qingzhi feel so scared when she realized that the murderer had committed murder, why didn't she tell Yao Huang about it? If she told Yao Huang earlier, Yao Huang wouldn't die without knowing who the murderer was. "

"So this is the first inconsistency." Lin Chengyou made two more gestures on the table, "Besides, Yao Huang said before his death that Qingzhi's jewelry was not given by himself, and there have been no pearls and jade objects thrown in the building recently, then Qingzhi's treasures are most likely given by the murderer. Qingzhi grabbed someone's handle and used it to blackmail. Did you just kill Yao Huang last night? Didn't you know the real relationship between Yao Huang and Qingzhi before?"

Yan Sizhi tapped his finger on the forehead: "I don't think the murderer knew it. If he had known it long ago, he would have eliminated the two together that night, so why risk it again? Last night was full of dangers, and the murderer almost nearly Showing your feet, knowing that it is not a good time to start, killing can only be a temporary intention."

Lin Chengyou snorted: "So this is the second inconsistency I said. Even if Qingzhi is cold-hearted, judging from her insistence on finding her sister, at least she is sincere to her sister, and she is not willing to be the murderer. It's okay to reveal her relationship with Yao Huang in front of her, why did she hide something in front of Yao Huang? It was precisely because she hid both ends of it that Yao Huang was hindered a lot afterwards."

Yan Sizhi pondered for a while, but had no idea, and finally smiled bitterly: "Is there a third problem?"

Lin Chengyou took out the sachet from his sleeve, pulled the tether and looked at it. The poison needle had been wrapped in a wooden box and taken to Dali Temple, and the bag was empty.

He played with the sachet: "The third item is this sachet. Last night, the murderer took the risk and brought the poison needle back to the lobby. Is it out of conceit, or is there any compelling reason?"

Yan Si thought for a while, stretched out his hand to take the sachet, rubbed it along the silver thread like a pattern, and suddenly his eyes brightened: "Last year, I investigated a headless case in the West City, and the victim was a butcher. After he died, he held a torn piece of handkerchief tightly in his hand, and no one could pull it off. I guessed that the handkerchief was weird, so I took the remaining handkerchief to the nearby embroidery workshop to find out, and guess what, we rely on The embroidery work on the handkerchief has found the murderer. Chengyou, look at this sachet, the color is unique, and the stitches are ingenious, so I started to investigate, maybe I can find something. Is the murderer also worried about this, so I risked the incense The sachet is hidden under the case, and I want to take the sachet away quietly when no one is paying attention."

Lin Chengyou smiled when he heard the words: "I think so too, but the sachet belongs to the sachet, and the poison needle is hidden in it, and the murderer refuses to throw it away. The reason may be as Yan Sizhi said, for fear that we will find out along the sachet. What, but don't forget there is another possibility, the poison of the rotten heart grass is incurable, the murderer finally got the poison, and made the poison needle as thin as a hair, using it to kill people can be said to be invisible. This person really Can't bear to bear, could it be the poison needle inside?"

Yan Sizhi's face suddenly changed: "You mean - the murderer will still use this poisonous needle to harm people?"

Lin Chengyou didn't answer, he took off the jade plaque from his waist and handed it to Yan Sizhi: "I can't leave Pingkangfang now, I can only ask Yan Sizhi to enter the palace for me as soon as possible, there is an elderly insider in the weaving and dyeing department in the palace. The envoy's embroiderer is named Tuo Niang. This woman has been working in the palace thirty years ago. She can know all the needle and embroidery craftsmanship in the world. The stitches on this sachet are a bit weird, it's too much trouble for every embroidery workshop to ask, why don't you take it into the palace and show it to Tuo Niang, at least she can see where the embroidery work is at a glance."

"Okay." Yan Sizhi hesitated for a moment and took the jade card, "I will enter the palace immediately, does the prince want to return to Caifenglou?"

Lin Chengyou looked at the sky outside: "The sky is not right, I guess the corpse is going to make a move tonight, I have to go back and wait for the rabbit, if Yan Sizhi finds something, just come to me before dark, if you see it after dark. Caifenglou is closed, you can take someone to leave early, and you can talk about it tomorrow."

Yan Sizhi was stunned for a while, then sighed: "I almost forgot, this Caifenglou has both evildoers and evil spirits, but when I discuss it in detail, I don't know who is more evil than humans and demons. Okay, According to what the prince said, Yan must go and return early, you must be careful yourself."

***

Teng Yuyi learned the second swordsmanship in Houyuan. Compared with the first time, this time, she got started much faster.

Teng Yuyi wiped his sweat and stared at the Xiaoya sword in his hand: "Cheng Bo, you're not surprised, the moves are already in place, why do you always feel stagnant at the end of each practice?

Cheng Bo thought thoughtfully: "The old slave is just about to tell the young lady about this—"

Several Taoist priests from Dongmingguan came together: "Hey, Wang Gongzi, you have been sweating frequently since last night. Is it related to that bowl of Huoyu Linggen Soup?"

Teng Yuyi put the sword into the sheath and smiled and said, "I want you to see that this soup has infinite benefits, but it is too difficult to overcome."

"Pindao, the swordsmanship that Cheng Bo taught you is good, but it's too slow."

"slow?"

Seeing the sky, he smiled and said: "Pin Dao can understand, the current situation of Wang Gongzi is like a craftsman planting flowers, he should have dug deep enough, but only buried the roots and stems in the shallow layer, even if the flowers and leaves are lush, how can the meridians be If you can't get through the day, you can't get nutrients from the soil. The only way to do this is to dig the soil deeper and bury the roots more firmly, otherwise this soup will not be good for you, but according to your practice, even day and night It takes about ten days to practice endlessly to get through the main veins.”

Teng Yu thought about it for a while, and although the words of the Five Paths were not completely accurate, they were not far away.

She tapped her palm lightly with the hilt of her sword, and slowly started to walk: "Ten days is ten days. Learning martial arts is not something that can be done overnight. Since I decided to practice martial arts well, I am ready to practice all year round. "

Seeing Tian shook his head: "Young Master Wang neither knows martial arts nor channeling art, no wonder he thinks things so lightly, this 'take your time' practice method is only applicable to other methods of cultivating internal strength, replace it with Taoist methods The spirit grass won't work."

Teng Yuyi's face condensed with a smile.

Jian Le took a step forward and said with a smile: "Everything is about chance, and the same is true of Taoist spirit herbs. This thing is unwilling to give in, and it often takes a few days to settle down in the body. If it doesn't work, it's 'Dao Ying is not Tao'. All in all, if you want to use the skills of these seven or eight years, you will have to pay a price. Although Pindao doesn't know the number of days limited by Huoyu Linggen, it will never give you a chance. Slow down."

Teng Yuyi's forehead jumped. According to this, is it possible to practice slowly?

"What if the time limit is exceeded?"

"I'm afraid the consequences will be very serious." Jian Le sighed, "Last night, because we drank Huoyu Linggen Soup, we dug out the "Medicine Classic" in our baggage and checked it. Each spiritual herb has different properties and has a time limit. It ranges from three to seven days. If you can't overcome it within the time limit, you will be in trouble, or you will become deaf or stupid. But you don't have to worry so much, the "Medicine Classic" doesn't write about the root of fire jade. , maybe the restraint time of this thing is longer."

Teng Yuyi curled her fingers slightly. Last night, she also glanced at Lin Chengyou's booklet. If she can't overcome it, it will only cause heat sores. She doesn't believe a word of Wudao's so-called "deafness and stupidity", but there are certain words in their words. Reason, this kind of spiritual herb is domineering, and there may be no time for her to slowly subdue it.

It seems that if you don't want to develop heat sores, you can only practice with Taoist swordsmanship as soon as possible, but she is not a Taoist, how can she learn real swordsmanship.

She looked at Wudao, her mind moved, and she changed into a pleasant look, and said modestly: "I understand, since it is the spiritual grass of Taoism, it is natural to use Taoist moves to restrain it. You masters are wonderful in Taoism. I don't know if I would be willing to give pointers."

"This..." Jian Tian pretended to stroke his beard.

Teng Yuyi and Cheng Bofei quickly exchanged glances, Wu Dao has always been greedy for money and stingy, looking at this posture, they clearly have a way, deliberately acting hesitantly, fearing that they are making some crooked ideas again.

Suddenly, Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi shouted from a distance, "Young Master Wang, Uncle Cheng, Brother Huo, so you are in the garden."

Ji Zhi was holding something in his arms, and that thing was wrapped in silk. Looking at the bulging thing, it was probably something like a cake. Before anyone arrived, the fragrance wafted over with the wind.

Wudao rushed up: "It's back! Have you found out who the murderer is? Hey, what's so fragrant, wow, gluttonous!"

Teng Yuyi took the opportunity and said, "Are the priests not having lunch yet?"

As soon as Wu Dao talked about this, he became angry: "From last night to noon today, Caifenglou has not stopped. I heard that it was just the chef, and the prince led people to search for several rounds. Now things are messed up, and the cooks are looking I was busy putting things away, and He Mingsheng just said that he would have to eat in the evening at the earliest."

Teng Yuyi nodded: "It happens that Huoqiu is going to go out to buy things for me, let him buy some meat food by the way, it's quite quiet here, gentlemen, why don't you sit in the pavilion over there. Huoqiu, come to me before you go. Take a few bottles of Luo Fu Chun Lai from the room."

After a while, Huoqiu brought snacks such as wine and deer vinegar, and the group sat in the pavilion, drinking and chatting.

Seeing the sky looking at the direction of Nanze and Hongxiang Garden from a distance, the sun was just right at noon, and the garden was full of spring, but the two wing rooms were deserted, and no little lady came out to hang out.

"After this incident last night, I'm afraid no one will dare to come out and run around. When Qingzhi died before, everyone could still deceive themselves, but last night Yao Huang was killed in front of everyone's eyes, just think of the dormant beside him. A murderer who kills without blinking an eye, anyone will tremble at their own risk."

Teng Yuyi asked Juesheng and Jizhi, "The embroidery and fabric of that sachet are extraordinary. You should be able to find out something from the nearby fabric shop. How is it, have you found any clues?"

Juesheng's head shook like a rattle: "Senior brother smashed us away before we sat down."

Seeing Tian Nio squinting at Jue Juesheng: "There are many people in the building, maybe you are afraid that you will accidentally say something. Speaking of that sachet, the murderer is probably not a lunatic. Wouldn't it be good to leave it on the road, but it was in our eyes. It's just that everyone's attention was on Ge Jin and Mrs. Yao Huang at that time, and there was a room full of people, but no one noticed the murderer's actions."

"Maybe it's the murderer's favorite thing, maybe it was given by a good husband, so I can't bear to lose it."

Jianxi made a sour expression: "Lele, you are already a lot of years old, why are you still thinking about these stupid girls. Can't the murderer betray himself for the pins and threads on the sachet? "

Teng Yuyi laughed.

Jianxi and Jianle Qi swept their gazes to Teng Yuyi: "If Wang Gongzi has other ideas, you might as well talk about it, a small sachet, I don't believe that Wang Gongzi can say other tricks. "

Teng Yuyi put down the wine cup: "If you can't say anything else, how about the twenty bottles of Luo Fuchun in my room to compensate the five masters? But if the next one makes sense, the five masters have to agree to the next one. Require."

Wudao rubbed his hands together happily. Luo Fuchun is a famous wine in the south of the Yangtze River. The bottles brought by Teng Mansion are even the best of the wine. After drinking these few sips just now, I can't stop. If I can drink it in my arms, I will be happy. Not even a fairy.

Bet is bet.

"Okay! Just as the prince said."

Teng Yuyi said sternly: "When you found the sachet in the morning, all the Taoist priests could see clearly that there are dozens of poison needles hidden there, although I don't know what poison Yao Huang's wife is in, but from the time she was plotted to the The poisonous needles must have been carefully designed, and the murderer would rather risk the risk of being found out and hide the sachet. Why must it be aimed at the sachet itself? Can't bear the poison needle in it?"

Wu Dao's mouth twitched, and he immediately changed his tune: "Actually, this old man has thought of it for a long time, but he just started drinking and drinking, and he forgot to say it for a while."

Glimpsing the expressions of Jue Sheng and Abandoning Wisdom and contempt, he said with dignity: "That's it, I'd like to admit defeat, Prince Wang, tell me, what else do you want us to do for you."

Teng Yuyi raised the soap bar on his shoulders back: "My request is very simple. I just need to ask five masters to teach me a set of Taoist tricks, so that I can concoct Huoyu Linggen soup in three days. already."

Jiantian squinted his eyes: "Since it was built, Weiguan has never accepted female disciples. This is the rule of the ancestors, and I dare not tamper with it privately."

Teng Yuyi was not annoyed at all, nodded and said, "I originally wanted to send twenty bottles of Luo Fuchun to the Little Buddha Hall as a thank-you gift, but it seems that there is no need for it. The two little priests saw it, and the seniors of Dongmingguan will also go back on their word—"

Wudao's cheeks are tight, although their reputation has never been good, but
