23 The case of the gift of four

Although the body of the baby found in the blood pool of the dust hermitage could not be burned, since it had been split in half by Xian Jingyue, it was impossible to regenerate the incident, and in the words of Lingyun Monk, it was to eliminate the "evil cause" in advance. What's more, with the current situation of Xian Jingyue, it is natural that he can no longer do anything with the Emei Sword Sect, and it can be regarded as his best to be able to do this to such a point. At the moment, Xie Yixiang and Sister Yue didn't stop much, one left and one right supported Xian Jingyue down the hill along the path, all the way out of the dust hermitage. Although Zhu Ruoyu was extremely annoyed, he did not embarrass the three of them after all.

When the three of them returned to the mountain road of Mount Emei, they walked not far away, and they encountered the "sliding pole" on the mountain to solicit business, that is, a stretcher made of two long bamboo poles, and a recliner made of bamboo pieces in the middle. Sister Yue paid for one and let two palanquin bearers carry Xianjingyue down the mountain. Xian Jingyue had been struggling to support under the chill of the Dinghai Sword before, and was hit by Zhu Ruoyu's two chills similar to sword qi, and as soon as he got on the sliding rod at this moment, he fell asleep on his own. Xie Yixiang and Sister Yue followed the "sliding rod" that Jingyue sat on before going down the mountain along the road, and walked more than a dozen steps away, and suddenly heard a staggering footsteps behind them, it was someone chasing out of the dust hermitage, Xie Yixiang looked back, but it was the old acquaintance "carved sword" Zhao Ruoregret.

Seeing Zhao Ruoregret trotting all the way over, Xie Yixiang couldn't help frowning slightly, and asked coldly: "What does Senior Zhao mean by coming here? Could it be that Master Zhu has no faith in his words, and wants to send you to stay with me?" Then Zhao Ruoregret suddenly looked embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Miss Xie San, don't make fun of her, although Zhao has some misconduct, he is also a person who understands things, and he has a lifelong friendship with the two of them, how dare he have bad intentions?" Alas, when it comes to today's events, I have seen the whole process in my eyes, and naturally I know it in my heart, and I admire your courage. It's a pity that I, Zhao Ruo, regret that I am a disciple of the Emei Sword Sect, and in that situation at that time, I naturally couldn't deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors, and disobey the orders of the master. Now the three of them are going down the mountain to leave, and I am also the master of Mount Emei, so I should send each other off, even if I am punished by the head of the house, I must not lose my courtesy. ”

Hearing Zhao Ruo's words, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but sigh secretly. Unexpectedly, the famous Emei Sword School in Shuzhong has always regarded itself as a famous and decent family, but it is headed by the head Zhu Ruoyu, and most of the disciples are domineering and arrogant, but there are many heroes and heroes, just like Dai Qi, who he met on the shore of Poyang Lake before. As for the "carved sword" Zhao Ruo regret in front of him, although he has a loss, he is also a frank and unrestrained character. Seeing that the other party's face was sincere and unpretentious, Xie Yixiang smiled and said, "Thank you Senior Zhao for your affection." The next group went down the mountain along the road, chatting as they walked, and sorted out the cause and effect of the whole thing.

It is said that the disappearance of tourists on Mount Emei lasted for a hundred years, and the murderer behind the scenes was the successive hosts of the dust hermitage, and also the head of the Emei faction of Buddhism. Because they are cautious and murder lone tourists from other places, they have not been noticed for hundreds of years. It wasn't until two months ago that the current presiding officer of Zhichen Nunnery murdered the sixth son of a wealthy merchant surnamed Xu in Hankou, and finally caused a big trouble, and even alarmed Yin, the governor of Jiazhou, so he sent Sister Yue to Mount Emei to investigate the case, and then through the files of missing tourists on Mount Emei over the years, she sniffed out the existence of this serial disappearance case.

At this time, the Beiping God Arrester did not abandon the dispatch of the Jinling Torture Arrest Room, and came to Shu to investigate the murder of King Heng in Bifu, but met Ning Cui, the "face-tearing demon" who had never returned to the case, and under Ning Cui's agitation, he also came to Mount Emei to investigate the case. In the end, the inference of Sister Heyue, Xie Yixiang and Shang Buqi finally found out the suspicion of Zhichen Nunnery, and the Emei Sword Sect heard about this and immediately poured out to deal with Zhichen Nunnery, and its head Zhu Ruoyu personally took action, and killed the host of Zhichen Nunnery with the Dinghai Sword, which can be regarded as uprooting and completely exterminating this former Buddhist Emei faction.

As for the corpse of the baby that everyone finally fished out of the blood pool, several people discussed it, but they still didn't have the slightest clue, and they really couldn't figure out why the successive hosts of the Zhichen Nunnery wanted to put such a baby corpse in the pool, or they had to keep soaking it in the blood of the people who were "four fires together", and now it was only accompanied by the death of the connoisseur, and the matter finally became a mystery. And in the whole matter, Zhu Ruoyu, the head of the Emei Sword Sect, knew that even Zhao Ruoregret knew it, and he clearly wanted to take the baby's corpse for himself.

In the end, after the inference of several people, the reason why Zhu Ruoyu acted like this is actually two possibilities. The first is that when Zhu Ruoyu fought with the connoisseur in the Guanyin Hall today, he had already asked the answer from the mouth of the connoisseur, and knew the value of the baby's corpse, which gave birth to greed; However, no matter which possibility it is, it can show that the head of the Emei Sword Sect is very deep in the city, and even harbors evil intentions, fortunately, the baby's corpse was finally split in half by Xian Jingyue's knife, which can be regarded as eliminating the "evil cause" from now on;

Just as he was talking, the group also went down to the foot of Mount Emei, and at that moment Xie Yixiang said goodbye to Zhao Ruocheng and asked: "I remember that day in the Bifu, Nade Yizi once asked Senior Zhao, saying that if you kill the head of your faction, Zhu, you can save ten, 100 or even 1,000 lives, and Senior Zhao will kill or not? At that time, the senior was a little hesitant, and in the end, the number of people increased to 10,000, and the senior finally made up his mind and replied: 'Kill!' The juniors dare to ask each other here, if this scene really happens in the future, I wonder if Senior Zhao will be able to fulfill his answer?"

Zhao Ruoregret sighed for a while, couldn't help but sigh, and said: "Although Zhao is not talented, he also knows what to do and what not to do. Xie Yixiang listened to his answer, and didn't say anything more at the moment, so she said goodbye to him. When Zhao Ruocheng was far away, Xie Yixiang and Sister Yue found an inn at the foot of the mountain and opened an upper room for Xian Jingyue to rest. After the settlement was properly settled, Xie Yixiang asked Sister Yue again: "Today's matter, Sister Yue can be said to have completely offended the Emei Sword Sect, just as that Feng Ruofu said, presumably Jiazhou Mansion Yin will also be embarrassed by you because of this matter." I wonder what Sister Yue's plans are for the future?"

Sister Nayue lit a dry cigarette and took a few puffs, and said with a faint smile: "With Miss Xie San's ingenuity, she naturally has already seen my intentions. To say that today I did not hesitate to offend the Emei Sword Sect and insisted on burning the body of the baby, in fact, it was just pretending, and it could even be said that it was specially performed for Miss Xie San and Shang Shen to see; Let me ask me, if Yue Yingqiu is really the kind of person who doesn't know the severity, I'm afraid that he has died many times over the years, how can he sit all the way to the position of the head catcher of the Yamen of Jiazhou Mansion?"

After saying that, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed: "Miss Xie San can also see clearly this way, the people here are not only shallow, but also arrogant, and they can't get used to seeing me as a woman as a head catcher; Now I have thirty or seven, I have never married, and my only relative is my father, who passed away at the beginning of this year, so for me, there is no nostalgia for this Shu land. With this case on Mount Emei, being able to get to know the two legends of Miss Xie San and Shang Shenzhu is undoubtedly a great opportunity for me, and it is even very likely that it is the only opportunity in my life. ”

Hearing Sister Yue's words, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but sigh and said, "Of course I understand Sister Yue's thoughts, it's rare that you can be so honest." Anyway, I'll revise a letter here, recommending you to go to the Jinling Torture Chamber. Although I don't know who the current chief arrester of the criminal arrest room is after Shang Buqi's death, but with the name of my father Xie Fengxuan, most of the criminal arrest room will give me this face. But you have to understand one thing, the reason why I recommend you is not because of the friendship between you and me, let alone because you and I are both daughters, but because you Yue Yingqiu is indeed a good head catcher. Sister Yue immediately smiled and said proudly: "Of course!"

At this moment, I suddenly heard a yin and yang strange voice say: "Yes, this eldest sister is naturally a good material for fast arrest, and it is very suitable to ask her to serve in the torture room." To say that the current chief arrester of the criminal arrest room is Situ Mingjie, who is known as the 'famous sword and famous arrest', who was an apprentice under me for a year and did some miscellaneous things for me. Xie Yixiang, if your letter of recommendation is not weighty, you can add my name. Xie Yixiang and Sister Yue hurriedly looked back, only to see a middle-aged man with red and swollen eyes striding into the inn, but it was the Beiping God Catcher who did not give up. As soon as he remembered that when he faced the people of the Emei Sword Sect before, this merchant did not give up and actually ran away alone, Xie Yixiang was naturally angry in his heart, and he didn't want to pay attention to him, but who knew that the merchant did not give up but stuck up without a face, and asked with a smile: "Miss Xie San, you and Jingyue Gongzi want to go west with me and go to Lanzhou for a trip?"

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and blurted out: "Why did I go to Lanzhou with you?" The merchant smiled mysteriously and said, "Didn't you keep asking me before, why could I guess in advance that there was a baby corpse in the blood pool of the Zhichen Nunnery?" Hehe, of course someone told me. And the person who told me the answer is not only an old friend of mine, but also an old friend of yours, and I went to Lanzhou this time to find her. With that, he took out a square fold of white paper from his arms, unfolded it and handed it to Xie Yixiang.

Xie Yixiang stretched out his hand to take it, only to see four lines of short sentences written on the paper, which could be seen to be the handwriting of the woman Juanxiu, a total of 16 words, written: "Emei blood baby, Lanzhou ghost monkey, Yumen walking corpse, Tianshan falling dragon." ”
