In the courtyard, Xu Dangren had already fallen asleep.
There was so much noise in the courtyard tonight, but Xu Dangren didn't seem to hear it. Walking into the small courtyard at this moment, Chu Qingxiao could still vaguely hear the other party's snoring while sleeping soundly.
If it was said that Yue Jian deliberately hid Xu Dangren's secrets before, then it would be unreasonable for Xu Dangren to turn a blind eye to these things today.
"Didn't I say that Yue Jian and him have been dependent on each other for many years? We share the same love with my grandson, how can he still sleep in this situation?" Ziyu naturally thought of this, she curled her lips and muttered in dissatisfaction.
Chu Qingxiao frowned and felt a little strange.
In fact, Chu Qingxiao had this doubt very early on.
Chu Qingxiao didn't notice it before, perhaps because of insufficient cultivation, but as he gradually reached the peak of the three realms and touched the threshold of the fourth realm, his perception became much sharper than before.
From time to time, he felt some fluctuations in sword intent around Xu Dangren.
This old man obviously has some cultivation skills.
But when he was in Taixuan Mountain, after Yue Jian was abducted by the Ghost Crow Village, Xu Dangren never planned to rescue him. Instead, he waited for Chu Qingxiao to come back. But if Chu Qingxiao was late for a year and a half, Yue Jian couldn't say
Something unexpected had already happened.
Chu Qingxiao's heart was somewhat similar to Ziyu's.
But he didn't say much, he just said: "Let's go to Yue Jian's room first. This is the most important thing."
The three of them walked quickly into the Moon View House.
The house is not big, and the furnishings are simple. A bed, two wooden boxes, and a small table are everything in the room.
In order to improve efficiency, Chu Qingxiao had an idea and asked Sanniang to show up and help search together - Liaoyuan still had only a little knowledge of worldly things. Even if he found something, he would not be able to tell how weird it was. In addition,
The room was not big, and if there were more people in it, it would be too crowded and slow down the progress, so Chu Qingxiao did not call him out at the same time.
…
Chu Qingxiao set his target on Yue Jian's bed.
He rummaged carefully, first spreading out the bedding on the bed, and groping among the bedding for a while, but found nothing.
Then he lifted up the mattress on the bed, but found nothing. Finally, he simply crawled under the bed, but found nothing.
Chu Zhaozhao and the others on the side also rummaged through Yue Jian's two wooden boxes. One of them contained some clothes and a few rouge and gouache that seemed to have never been opened.
The other one contained the spiritual iron jades that Yue Jian had worked so hard to earn these days. The box was gradually filled with half a box, and every hundred pieces were strung up with wooden sticks - Yue Jian's calculation was always a problem, so she asked Chu Qingxiao to
I helped get some wooden sticks, each of the same length and filled with white pieces of spiritual iron jade.
Now seven strings have been filled, and the remaining string is over half.
It seems that the eight hundred spiritual iron jades that Yue Jian worked so hard for are already very close at hand.
Chu Qingxiao felt somewhat uncomfortable when he saw this thing.
But he endured the discomfort and did not think about Yue Jian's hardships these days alone.
But apart from these, there is nothing else in Tsukimi.
It only took everyone a quarter of an hour to look through her salute from beginning to end, and then from end to end twice.
But I didn't find anything strange.
"The commission says to deliver an object to Tsukimi, but the meaning of this object is too general."
"It might be some small jewelry. Maybe it was carried by Yue Jian and not placed in the room at all." Chu Zhaozhao said at this time.
Ziyu also took over the conversation and said: "It is also possible that it is not a physical object at all, but a spell or a sentence. I remember that I have seen such ghost stories before, saying that as long as you recite the spell,
You will be targeted by evil spirits, which is scary..."
Chu Qingxiao also refused to comment on Ziyu's imaginative thinking.
He just frowned and continued to look around the room, carefully sorting out whether he had missed anything.
Although the inference between Ziyu and Chu Zhaozhao is possible, Chu Qingxiao is unwilling to let go of any clue.
His eyes continued to scan, but suddenly fell on a small wooden box placed beside the bed.
The wooden box was dark and about the size of two adult hands. Chu Qingxiao rummaged around the bed and saw something placed on the bed. He reached out and picked it up and shook it. There was no sound inside, so he subconsciously thought it was an empty box and
Didn't take it to heart.
He subconsciously thought that the things related to the foreign god must be hidden in the dark, and they must be a little weird. However, this box was placed in the most conspicuous position, so it was naturally ignored by Chu Qingxiao.
But at this moment, Chu Qingxiao felt something was wrong.
This wooden box was placed beside the bed. Logically speaking, it should contain items that Yue Jian often uses in daily life, but there was nothing inside.
Thinking of this, he picked up the wooden box and was about to open it.
But the strange thing is that the wooden box is not locked, but when he exerts force with both hands, the upper and lower parts of the wooden box seem to be biting together and not moving at all.
Everyone on the side also saw the strangeness of the things in Chu Qingxiao's hands.
"There seems to be the breath of an alien god on it." At this moment, Sanniang suddenly said.
Today's Sanniang has a keen sense of the aura of gods because of the divine pillar, and discovered the weirdness in it.
And her words also confirmed Chu Qingxiao's guess. Chu Qingxiao looked at Sanniang and asked: "Sister Sanniang, can you open him?"
Sanniang took the wooden box and said, "I'll give it a try."
After saying that, she held the wooden box in her hands, her eyes sank, and a black energy surged out of her body and enveloped the wooden box. There were layers of strange brilliance flashing on the wooden box, as if trying to compete with the three.
The black energy inspired by my mother resisted, but it was weak. It only lasted for a short while and then disappeared.
And as the weird brilliance dissipated, the wooden box that Chu Qingxiao had not opened even though he had tried so hard just now clicked and he was opened.
Everyone looked intently at this moment, expecting to see something weird, but just as Chu Qingxiao had come to the conclusion when he shook the wooden box before, the wooden box was empty and contained nothing.
"Why is there nothing here?"
Ziyu widened her eyes and said in confusion.
Although Sanniang and Chu Zhaozhao did not say a word, they frowned and looked disappointed.
Chu Qingxiao was about to say something.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from the direction of the courtyard gate.
Everyone was shocked and went to the door to look, only to see that the people coming were Lu Sandao and others who were supposed to go to the Sword Hall to find information about the first victim.
"Why are they so fast? I've only been back for a quarter of an hour, right?" Ziyu asked a little strangely.
After the two parties separated from Qinghuan Mansion, Chu Qingxiao and others returned home, while Lu Sandao took the Meng family siblings to the sword-wielding hall.
The distance between Dao Zhijian Hall is much further than the distance back home, and the files of Zhijian Hall are more closely guarded than those of Qinghuan Mansion. Even if Lu Sandao has a reputation for evil, logically speaking, he shouldn't be like this.
Can you come back soon?
Chu Qingxiao was confused and stepped forward at this moment.
"What's going on?" Chu Qingxiao asked.
Lu Sandao shrugged and pointed behind him, put the knife in his hand on the stone table in the courtyard, and said regretfully: "I was originally going to the Sword Hall, but I met him halfway.
This kid."
"Hey, I thought I could have a good fight today, preferably from Qinghuan Mansion to Zhijian Hall, but I didn't want to miss this fight."
Chu Qingxiao didn't understand Lu Sandao's innocent moans. He turned his head and looked in the direction she pointed, only to see a familiar figure standing next to the Meng family siblings - Zhu Quan.
"Master Zhu, why are you here?" Chu Qingxiao asked a little strangely.
Zhu Quan walked up quickly, handed over something in his hand and said: "My husband said that Brother Chu, you have been in trouble recently, and this thing may be able to help you, so I specially sent it to you.
"
"Huh?" Chu Qingxiao became more and more confused after hearing this.
He reached out and took the thing, but it was a file with the words - Ten Traces of Sky Hanging clearly written on it.
The so-called Ten Disappearance Cases refer to the thirteen serial disappearance cases in Tianxuan City from Mengyuan to Lu Zhangming.
It's just that this case wasn't taken seriously at the beginning. After all, Tianxuan City has a large population, and some bad things happen every day. The sword-wielding hall has always been slack, so it doesn't care about it.
But later, the number of disappearances increased, and they continued to occur every half month to a month. It also caused a lot of panic in Tianxuan City, and only then did Tianxuan Mountain pay more attention to it.
Many Shenfeng elders were sent to take action one after another, but none of them could find out what was going on. At that time, the tenth victim happened to appear, so it was named the Tianxuan Ten Traces Case.
"This is everything related to the case so far in the Shi Zong Case. Compared with the files in the Jianjian Hall, it is only more detailed and definitely lacks any useful details." Zhu Quan explained again, fearing that Chu Qingxiao would not understand.
This thing is naturally extremely important to Chu Qingxiao and others. What's more important is that it was sent by Zhu Quan, which can save them from conflicts with Zhijian Hall and cause unnecessary trouble.
This move is tantamount to providing help in times of need.
But Chu Qingxiao still couldn't help but feel weird, and couldn't help but ask: "How did Mr. Meng know that we need this thing?"
Zhu Quan also smiled bitterly when he heard this and said: "I don't know about this either. The husband didn't go into details. He just asked me to deliver this thing. If Miss Meng hadn't told me what happened on the way here, I wouldn't have known about it."
Miss Yue Jian is in such big trouble."
"Sir, he has some spies of his own in Tianxuan City. It was probably his spies who discovered it."
Chu Qingxiao nodded, actually still having some doubts about such remarks.
Moreover, as a non-governmental organization, Spiegel was able to have such great energy to collect information on the disappearance case, which made Chu Qingxiao have to re-evaluate the ability of Spiegel and the man behind it, Mr. Meng.
However, at this moment, he had no time to think about this. He glanced at Zhu Quan and said, "Someday, I will definitely come to thank Mr. Meng."
After saying this, he no longer hesitated, stretched out his hand, opened the file, and looked at it.
