After coming out of that house, they went to other houses with white lanterns hanging at the door and looked at them one by one. Almost all the dead people had the same characteristics, and from the mouths of those houses, they learned that not all, but most of them A person like Shen Cai would appear in someone's home a few days before and after a death.

In this situation, it is indeed difficult not to make people suspicious of Shen Cai. Once was a coincidence, but what if there are many coincidences? It can only mean that there is a conspiracy.

"In my opinion, Shen Cai must be the murderer. Otherwise, how could it be so perfect that he would be present when someone died? I just don't know why he wanted to harm people." The junior brother paused with his chin in thought.

Zi Yuchen didn't speak, but the hand hanging by his side gradually clenched into a fist. He lowered his head and stared at the palm of his hand with a somewhat complicated look. What he held in his palm was the jade pendant given to him by Yi Xiaorou.

"Senior brother, what do you think?" Seeing that Zi Yuchen had been silent, the junior brother touched Zi Yuchen with his elbow and asked.

Does he feel it? How can he feel it? If he can feel it, how great would it be?

"I..." He pursed his lips and paused, but he didn't know how to speak anymore. However, he kept his eyes on the jade pendant in his hand and never moved away.

After all, he shook his head and said, "I don't want to wrongly accuse anyone until the matter is cleared up."

Even though... he knew that Shen Cai had never been a good person, and was even a bully, even... he still doubted him.

The younger junior brother couldn't help but be curious when he saw Zi Yuchen's reaction. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the purple jade mark in his palm. Curious, he reached out to pick it up, "Senior brother, what is that?"

Zi Yuchen's reaction was also extremely fast, and he had already stepped aside before his junior brother's claws touched the jade gourd in his hand.

There was a hint of panic between his eyebrows, "It's nothing."

Zi Yuchen's reaction made the junior brother more sure of something. It was rare to see Zi Yuchen so flustered, so he naturally did not miss this opportunity to treat him. "Senior brother is so nervous, it must be something important. Could it be... ...Which girl’s family sent you a love token? Dear senior brothers, the senior brother has a girl he likes. Now he can’t see the strange woman who has captured the senior brother’s heart for eighteen years. He always wants to see what he can do for her. A token of love given to me by a charming and charming woman, right? Senior brother, please stop hiding it, don’t you think so?" As the younger brother spoke, he led his Qingyunshan brothers who were watching the excitement to make a fuss. stand up.

"You're right, you're right!"

"That's right, hahaha." What followed was a burst of echoing laughter.

A group of people laughed and started to move their hands, surrounding Zi Yuchen one by one and planning to snatch the jade gourd from his hand.

In fact, this was just a joke between the junior brothers, and it passed away with a smile. However, Zi Yuchen has always been a person who easily takes other people's words seriously. As soon as the younger junior brother finished speaking, his face turned red, and he didn't know it. Are you ashamed or angry?

Seeing the junior brothers laughing and trying to grab the jade pendant in his hand, he was worried that Yi Xiaorou's things would be damaged, and because of the junior brothers' words, he was so anxious that he hid and dodged, but the more he hid from the curiosity of the junior brothers. The heavier it is, the more important it is to take it and take a look.

Seeing that the jade pendant in his hand was about to be snatched away by unknown hands of many junior brothers, his heart tightened, his eyebrows twisted, and he shouted, "Want!" The pressure of the strong was invisibly released. .

Most of the Qingyun Mountain juniors were not as good as Zi Yuchen in cultivation. Being suppressed by this coercion, they felt dizzy, chest tight, short of breath, and even breathing became a problem.

"Senior...senior brother..." I don't know which junior brother called out weakly while resisting the pressure.

This call brought Zi Yuchen back from his thoughts, and he belatedly looked at the row of junior brothers surrounding him looking at him with uncomfortable expressions.

As soon as he came back to his senses, the invisible pressure was removed unconsciously. All the junior brothers breathed a sigh of relief, holding their chests and breathing heavily with lingering fears on their faces.

"Senior brother...you..."

"I..." Zi Yuchen lowered his head and looked at himself, and then at the pale-faced junior brothers. He didn't know how to explain his abnormality just now, "I'm sorry, oh just now... I lost my composure."

"It's just that in the future, please don't say such jokes casually anymore. Not to mention that you need to be pure and abstain from desires along the way to practice. Saying such words is also a crime that hurts people's reputation without reason."

As soon as these words came out, all the disciples looked at each other. Zi Yuchen's words confirmed that Yun Ya's joke was true. His jade pendant was indeed a gift from a woman. Seeing that he had only left the house after many years, the disciples

He had a rough idea in his mind, knew the seriousness of the matter, and because Zi Yuchen was his senior brother, he kept silent in a tacit understanding.

The deeper you go into Youcheng, the more you will realize how strange it is. Originally, there were only a few people in front of the city gate, but the further you go in, the more people there are, until you pass the main street and reach the center of the city. There, it is like

It was as lively as an ordinary town. The noise of customers in restaurants lined up on both sides of the road, the voices of storytellers, the shouts of vendors, and the gossips of women all came to my ears, as if the desolation and desolation at the city gate just now were just an illusion.

But, if it weren't for the invisible paper that moved in the wind under people's feet, maybe they would really think that it was just an illusion.

Yi Xiaorou glanced at Nalan Mufeng, who had been following her and was extremely calm, and there was a hint of coldness in the corner of her mouth. Nalan Mufeng, a devil, would never be so calm even if he were killed!

Yes, with his kind of personality, it's a miracle that he can be quiet for an hour, let alone staying with such a boring her. It's reasonable for him to run away alone, but... what does he mean by arranging a puppet next to her?
