Chapter 52 Investigation

That night, all the disciples of Wanjian Villa were numbered and called into Wanji Hall one by one for careful interrogation. Everyone who came out looked very solemn. To Jiang Hanye's surprise, he and his eldest brother and other disciples were not numbered, which made him a little uneasy.

It was night. Jiang Hanye lay uneasy and couldn't sleep. He always felt that there seemed to be a dark shadow outside the window. Whenever he closed his eyes, Ji Feng's kind and polite smile and the strange man in the long valley appeared in his mind, which made him both painful and scared.

Ji Feng died in his room. The scene was in a mess, and the walls, doors and windows were splashed with blood everywhere. It can be seen how Ji Feng suffered before he died. Not only that, after his death, Ji Feng's body quickly turned into a mummified corpse. The whole body seemed to have been sucked dry by some kind of monster, and his wrinkled skin was tightly wrapped in bones. If it hadn't been for his clothes and waist card, everyone would have almost not recognized who the body was.

"Could it be Master?" When lying down, such a terrible idea suddenly emerged, and Jiang Hanye was shocked by his rebelliousness and unfilial piety.

"Alas, how can it be? Master has always been on Wanjiantai. How can he kill the fourth brother? Besides, the master loves us like a father and son, and loves the fourth brother even more. He will never be the master's!" Jiang Hanye defended Ji Shangxuan in his heart. That night, he was destined to turn back and fall asleep until dawn.

Wanjitang's secret room.

Six people, including Ji Shangxuan, Master Wuding, Bai Yuchan, Ji Kuotian, Ji Kuohai Brothers and Ji Ruyun, sat on the chair with solemn expressions. Each of them has a French blue gold-inlaid tea cup. The color of the tea in the tea cup is as bright as pomegranate stamens. A wisp of tea fragrance floats out of the cup. The taste is like osmanthus, and it is better than osmanthus. This is the famous Shouyang Peak specialty: Shouyang Maojian.

It is said that Shouyang Maojian is in circulation in all major dynasties in the world. Of course, this is mostly a good businessman of the Ji family and sells tea at home and abroad. This tea sells one taels of silver in Luoshui City. In this way, many dignitaries and rich families can't buy tea with silver, which shows its preciousness.

But with such a cup of fragrant tea, everyone here is not in the mood to taste it, because their hearts are filled with what happened today.

"Cough!" Ji Shangxuan, as the owner of Wanjian Villa and the host of the three martial arts this time, first said, "Guys, let's talk about it. What do you think about today?"

Ji Kuotian said, "Alas, this must have been done by the devil. I remember that the great demon Luo Xingyun seems to have a skill called Blood Demon God. To practice this skill, you must absorb the true spirit of the martial artist and even live human flesh and blood.

Ji Shangxuan touched his beard and listened carefully. After Ji Kuotian finished speaking, he asked, "So, did you find the body first?"

Ji Kuotian shook his head and said, "No. Today, I ordered my disciple to go to Ji Yuan to reconcile. The disciple went to the wrong room because he didn't know the way, so he found the body. At that time, it was still noon. According to Zhuang's disciples, they still saw Ji Feng this morning, so I guess that the devil should have killed Ji Feng when the competition began.

"The magic is so bold that it broke into my Wanjian Villa. I have ordered it down. All my disciples are searching the mountain, and I believe that the result will be obtained in no time!" Ji Kuohai said angrily that he was straightforward. Since he learned about this, he has been furious and has just suppressed a fire. In martial arts, his violent temper is famous.

"Alas!" At this time, Master Wudian, who had been silent, suddenly stopped twisting the Buddha beads and sighed for a long time, and everyone's eyes were attracted by him.

"Master, please speak if you have something to say." Ji Shangxuan is in charge.

"Yes, no!" Master Wudian shook his head slowly and said, "The demon is everywhere. You are a demon, I am a demon, he is a demon, and no one can become a demon! Nanmu Oh Mituo Buddha!"

Wu Dian's words make people who understand frequently nod, and those who don't understand frown, and everyone reacts in different ways.

"Master, please give me some advice." Ji Shangxuan said.

In front of Wuding, Ji Shangxuan and others are very humble, because Wuding is one of the highest-generation monks in Mount Xumi, except for the abbot Wufa. It is rumored that Wuding's cultivation has reached an unpredictable level, and some people even say that he has lived for thousands of years, and some people say that he once broke into the magic cave alone and eradicated all the thirteen masters of the magic religion.

The masters of the thirteen halls of the Demon Sect are superb, and one of them has reached the Yuanying period and can kill such a group of martial artists alone, which shows the high cultivation. However, everything is just rumors and rumors. No one knows what kind of person he is, because the side he presents to everyone is just a monk who twists Buddha beads all day long. He looks very young, even less than 40 years old.

Hearing Ji Shangxuan's words, Wu replied with a smile, "The poor monk has nothing to say. Everything has been said. Demon, everywhere. I think this incident is just a precursor."

The specious words and the unfathomable peak made everyone fall into meditation again.

"Master, can the disciples who enter the house behave abnormally?" Ji Ruyun suddenly said.

Ji Ruyun is Ji Shangxuan's sister. The two have been on bad terms since childhood. They rarely communicate with each other. Ji Ruyun even found a secluded place outside the mountain and lived alone. This woman is the most cultivated woman in Wanjian Villa. Although she is not on good with her brother, she loves her two nephews and nieces very much. Therefore, looking at Xiaoyu's qualifications, she wants to be an apprentice and carefully cultivate her.

"I haven't questioned them yet. When I get back, I'll talk to them." Ji Shangxuan said slowly.

"Master, is there a little apprentice in your villa who has a pet like a wolf?" At this time, Wu Dian suddenly asked again.

Ji Shangxuan frowned and replied, "Xiao Bai? The white one? There is such a child, Jiang Hanye, who is my disciple and the youngest one. I don't know how the master knows this person?

"Ha ha, I saw him the day before yesterday and thought the child's pet was very cute and funny, so I remembered it." Wu answered with a smile.

"Ha ha, my apprentice is a little bored and seldom goes out to walk around, but he was actually seen by the master. It can be seen that there seems to be a fate between you." Ji Shangxuan said, "But this child seems to be the last person to see Ji Feng, so I want to ask him when I go back."

"How are their brothers?" Bai Yu cicada asked.

"What's wrong with you?" Ji Shangxuan said.

"No, I just asked casually, but as the master said, demons are ubiquitous. We can't be biased in the process of investigation. The disciples of the outside door are numbered to interrogate, and the disciples entering the room are interrogated alone. I think this is very inappropriate." Bai Yu cicada said coldly. She seemed to be very prejudiced against Ji Shangxuan. She didn't look at him when she spoke, while Ji Shangxuan smiled awkwardly and said yes.

It really surprised everyone that a Zhuang owner would behave like this in front of women, and from the tone of the two of them, they seemed to know each other very well and did not seem to be a general acquaintance.

Deep night, Jiang Hanye turned around and still couldn't sleep. At this time, a white fog suddenly filled the cracks in the door. The white fog was gloomy and horrible, as if it came from a ghost house hell. The whole room suddenly became extremely cold, which made Jiang Hanye couldn't help sneeze.

"Little brother..." A illusory, very miserable but familiar voice came from outside the door. What surprised Jiang Hanye was that the voice was actually Ji Feng, the fourth brother.

"Fourth brother?" Jiang Hanye turned over and sat up, sweating coldly, "You're not already..."

After a whining wind, a white and transparent figure entered through the door and gradually condensed into Ji Feng's appearance. But seeing Ji Feng's seven orifices bleeding, his hair spreading, and his body was full of scars, and his whole body was simply boneless, which was very terrible.

"Brother!" Jiang Hanye was scared at first, but then he choked. In the morning, the senior brother was still talking to himself with a smile, and in an instant, he was separated forever. Ji Feng is the person who took Jiang Hanye to the entrance. Now that he has gone, this makes Jiang Hanye's heart unfathomable.

"Little night!" Ji Feng called Jiang Hanye's name as usual, but the sound used to be gentle and vibrant, but now the sound is extremely far away and unattainable.

"Brother, if you come back to see if you still have something to ask, just tell me that Jiang Hanye will definitely die!" Jiang Hanye quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. He was afraid that the fourth brother would be more sad when he saw it.

"Xiaoye, be careful..." The fourth brother was silent for a moment and suddenly cracked his mouth and smiled. It looked miserable and horrible. When his mouth grinned, Jiang Hanye saw something in his throat. "Be careful..." Ji Feng kept repeating these two words, and his eyes were full of confusion. Re unwilling, there is also a trace of shock and anger.

"Wow!!!" Xiaobai suddenly woke up. He seemed to see the ghostly Ji Feng and roared in his throat. Maybe Xiao Bai's voice scared Ji Feng, or Ji Feng's time had come. Anyway, after that, Ji Feng's body gradually became transparent and finally disappeared invisibly.

"Brother!" Jiang Hanye shouted sadly and woke up with a cold sweat, while Xiao Bai was roaring, as if someone was standing there outside the door.

In the dark, Jiang Hanye called out, "Xiao Bai!"

So Xiaobai jumped into bed and licked Jiang Hanye's palm with his tongue, with heat in his mouth, but he still roared in his throat.

"Is the fourth brother back?" Jiang Hanye held Xiaobai's neck, and now only in this way can he feel a little at ease.

"Woo-hoo!" Xiaobai suddenly changed from a low roar to a shout, and at the same time, the door was knocked.

"Who?" Jiang Hanye asked vigilantly.

"Night, it's me!" Master Ji Shangxuan's gentle and amiable voice came from outside the door.

"Master?" Jiang Hanye twisted his eyebrows and said to himself, "What did Master come to me for so late?"

"Open the door, night." Ji Shangxuan said, "I have something to ask you."

"Oh, here it comes." Although he was suspicious, although Jiang Hanye was now 10,000 people who were unwilling to open the door, he still habitually went down to open the door for his master.

Ji Shangxuan entered the house wrapped in a cold wind. Jiang Hanye turned around and lit the light, asked the master to sit down, and then lowered his head to stand aside.

"Yeer, come here." Ji Shangxuan waved to Jiang Hanye, and his voice was also full of grief, and even a little hoarse. After all, he lost his beloved disciple.

Jiang Hanye hesitated to walk to Ji Shangxuan without saying a word, but tears were already in his eyes.

"I know that you have the deepest relationship with Feng'er, and he also loves you the most, but after all, he has left, and everyone has to continue to cheer up, so Yeer, don't be too sad." Ji Shangxuan actually solved Jiang Hanye, which made Jiang Hanye very surprised. According to reason, it should be their group of apprentices to comfort the master.

"Master, don't worry, the fourth brother will never die in vain." Jiang Hanye gritted his teeth and said a little.

"Yeer, let me ask you, when was the last time you saw your fourth brother?" Ji Shangxuan asked.

"It was this morning, when the master was also there." Jiang Hanye replied.

"So did he say anything special to you?" Ji Shangxuan asked again.

Jiang Hanye shook his head blankly and sadly and said, "No, my brother just said that I was going to compete in the afternoon, and I didn't have a weapon to take advantage of it, so he transferred the Zhantian Sword given to me to me to win glory for my master. Master, please give me this sword. Jiang Hanye looked into Ji Shangxuan's eyes and said.

"Ha ha, silly boy, since your brother has given you the sword, it belongs to you and doesn't need my permission." Ji Shangxuan brushed his beard.

"Master, I have something stuck in my heart. I don't know if I should tell you." Jiang Hanye looked at the ground and whispered.

"Well, what can't you say that you and my apprentice are like father and son?" Ji Shangxuan nodded.

"Some time ago, I was attacked by a strange man." Jiang Hanye said.

"Strange man?" Ji Shangxuan frowned and asked, "What kind of weirdo?"

"I don't know, I didn't see it clearly." Jiang Hanye replied.

"Where was the sneak attack?" Ji Shangxuan asked in a low voice.

"In the forest on the mountain, I took Xiaobai for a walk. I was attacked and Xiaobai was almost killed." Jiang Hanye said half-falsely, "That man had red hair and couldn't see his face clearly. At that time, I tried my best to resist to escape."

"Oh?" Ji Shangxuan looked at Jiang Hanye suspiciously and didn't seem to believe what he said, but Jiang Hanye was expressionless and always looked at the ground. His words were full of pain, which made it difficult for Ji Shangxuan to distinguish between true and false.

"I told the fourth brother about this this morning, and I don't know if it killed him. Master, where is the fourth brother now? I want to see him for the last time. Jiang Hanye pleaded.

"Alas!" Ji Shangxuan sighed, "The dead are dead. What else do you want to do? His body is parked in the open space outside the ancient tomb. If you want to go, just don't wait too long. Within 12 hours after death, there is corpse gas in the body, which is extremely poisonous. If you smoke lightly, you will be seriously ill, and if you will die on the spot. Ji Shangxuan said.

"Thank you, Master!" Jiang Hanye bowed his hand and bowed deeply.

"I was supposed to teach you the wind swordsmanship tonight, but there are too many things to do today, so I won't teach you. You should rest early and don't think too much. I used to pass by here and heard you calling your brother in my dream, so I came to check it. Now that you are fine, I will go back. After saying that, Ji Shangxuan slowly walked out of the door. After going out, he turned around and took a deep look at Jiang Hanye, and then walked to the inner courtyard with his hands behind his back.

"Disciples respect the mission!" Jiang Hanye said.

When Ji Shangxuan's figure disappeared at the door of the courtyard, Jiang Hanye slowly closed the door, but from outside the house, he saw that there was no one around, and quickly took Xiaobai through the yard and walked to the cemetery.

The cemetery of Wanjian Villa is divided into two places, one is the cemetery of the owner, and the other is the cemetery of ordinary disciples. Tao Bo guarded the owner's cemetery, while the ordinary disciple's cemetery is on the darkest side of Shouyang Peak. During the day, it is cold and piercing, not to mention that it is late at night.

Recalling the appearance of the fourth brother in the dream, Jiang Hanye's heart was extremely heavy. Somehow, he regarded the dream as the truth and couldn't wait to see the body of the fourth brother to see what was in his throat.

There are many tombstones in the whole cemetery. From time to time, one or two crows squat on the tombstones and look at Jiang Hanye curiously. He sneaked into the back of the cemetery, so he passed through the cemetery before reaching the place where the body was parked. Every step Jiang Hanye felt that his heart was in his throat, and he always felt that something around him that he couldn't see was staring at him. Although he is a martial artist in cultivation, Jiang Hanye is still a little afraid of ghosts.

"Brother, if you have a spirit in heaven, I hope you can bless me to find evidence smoothly." Jiang Hanye muttered in his heart and unconsciously came to the place where the body was parked.

Wanjian Villa has not died for a long time, so Ji Feng was only parked in the huge morgue. Jiang Hanye looked at the fourth brother covered under the white cloth. He was heartbroken and wanted to reach out to lift the white cloth, but his hands kept trembling and couldn't stop himself.

It was so easy to untie the corner of the white cloth. Jiang Hanye saw Ji Feng's body. This was the first time he saw Ji Feng's body after the accident.

Ji Feng's whole skin color was green, and there was no flesh and blood all over his body, only skin and bones. His mouth was slightly open, as if he was exclaiming and screaming.

Jiang Hanye remembered that there seemed to be something in his brother's throat in his dream, so he looked at that mouth.
