MTL - Martial Arts: Just Finished the Patrol, the Beginning is Ruthless-Chapter 70

"Your senior sister also wants to come together?"

Xia An looked at Li Mochou with a strange expression.

"What? I'm going to look at my junior sister, what's the problem?"

As soon as Li Mochou saw Xia An's face, she couldn't help remembering that she had been exposed to him for half an hour.

Naturally, his complexion was not much better.

"No problem, it's just that you are responsible for the food, drink, housing and transportation."

Li Mochou's tone was not good, Xia An naturally wouldn't give her any good looks, and just said indifferently.

"That won't make you worry about it." Li Mochou didn't care.

Although she didn't have much time to go out, she also knew that any treasures taken from the ancient tomb would be priceless.

Naturally, there will be no shortage of that little money.

Then again, it seems that I haven't seen any grandmaster lacking money.

"In this case, just follow if you want to, and don't cause trouble."

Xia An didn't care.

In the blink of an eye, a day passed.

The Nine Yin Manual was obtained, and the corpses of the two masters were also touched.

The purpose of this trip has been achieved, Xia An naturally has no need to continue to stay in Zhongnan Mountain.

At dawn, a group of people set foot on their way home.

The carriage traveled all the way north.

Along the way, Xiaolongnv felt extremely novel about many things she had never seen before.

Xia An and Huang Rong would answer her questions from time to time, adding a little anger to the boring journey.

As for Li Mochou, although she looked indifferent on the surface, but through her eyes, Xia An could see that the novelty in her heart was no worse than that of Xiaolongnv.

But Xia An didn't expose it.

He felt that this Li Mochou was very different from the one in his impression.

Neither vicious nor vicious.

Just a little glamorous.

Xia An didn't bother to care about her anymore.

In contrast, he was more curious about Yao Yue and Lian Xing.

Ever since the night they came back from the Quanzhen Sect, they have been out of their minds, full of preoccupations.

He didn't ask why.

Along the way, he was in a daze, casting his gaze at Xia An from time to time, making him uncomfortable.

I always feel that the gaze is a little weird, but I can't tell where it is.

It was getting late.

"'~There is a village in front of us, we will spend the night here tonight, and we will start tomorrow."

Taking advantage of the gradually weakening sunlight, Xia An saw a faint row of houses not far away.

Although it is possible to rest in the carriage, it is still not as comfortable as a bed.

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, as long as there is a place to stay, Xia An will still choose to stay.

In this regard, other people naturally have no opinion.

Xia An drove the carriage towards the village.

Gradually, everyone realized something was wrong.

quiet.

The whole village was eerily quiet.

It stands to reason that it is only dusk now, even in a sparsely populated village, with the strength of Xia An and the others, they can naturally hear even a little noise.

But as the carriage got closer to the village, Xia An couldn't hear anyone moving.

It seems to have been abandoned here.

But the waterwheel that was still turning slowly clearly showed that it was still running here.

After the carriage entered the village, everyone got the answer.

In this small village, there are corpses everywhere.

Chapter 103 Are you a member of the court?

"This…"

Xiao Longnv slightly frowned, seeing this scene not long after she came out of the ancient tomb, the impact on her can be imagined.

"Is there no living person in any village?"

Huang Rong's complexion was a little pale, and the strong smell of blood made her feel nauseous.

Looking around, the whole village is in a mess.

On the road, in the house, and outside the wilderness, there are corpses everywhere, which is shocking.

Women, children, young and old, even the wild dogs on the roadside were not spared.

Xia An squatted down and carefully examined the corpse.

After a while, he sighed and got up.

"How about it?"

Huang Rong asked repeatedly.

Xia An pondered for a while, and said: "They are all ordinary people, so they shouldn't have died of vendettas in Jianghu."

"And they all died of trauma, with claw marks all over their bodies, and the blood has not completely dried. They should have been killed in the morning."

"Who is so cruel?"

Huang Rong bit her red lips lightly, "It's so inhumane not to let such a small child go."

"Maybe it was the robbers who robbed, or maybe it was the Jianghu people who did evil. It's not certain."

As Xia An went deep into the village, he carefully searched for useful clues and traces.

Soon, he discovered something unusual.

It was a series of footprints, heading south from the small road at the entrance of the village to No. 227. I don't know where they went.

But what is certain is that the owner of this footprint should be the perpetrator.

Because there are similar footprints in the entire village.

Judging from the size of the footprints, it should be a woman.

"strangeness."

Xia An couldn't help frowning.

"What's wrong?" Huang Rong asked.

Xia An pointed to the footprints on the ground, "Judging from the wounds on these villagers, the martial arts of the shooter should not be low, and there are even traces on the eaves."

"This shows that her qinggong is not too bad, but this footprint is deeper than that of a grown man."

"It's a little strange."

Huang Rong nodded.

According to common sense, even people with average skills would not leave such deep footprints.

"Maybe it's intentional, or it's because of the weight?" Huang Rong guessed.

"It's all possible, but there's another possibility."

Xia An thought for a while, and said, "That is, she can't control the power of this body, and she has gone mad."

"You can see that?"

Xiao Longnu waited for a while, and finally came back to her senses, looking at Xia An curiously.

"It's a very simple logic, and it comes out after a little deduction."

Xia An said lightly.

"Mystery."

Li Mochou curled her lips in disdain.

Can the identity of the perpetrator be deduced from just one footprint?

She didn't believe it.

Xia An glanced at Li Mochou, "You have to know, not everyone is as brainless as you."

"you…"

Li Mochou raised her brows, she was about to get angry immediately.

Xia An ignored him, and looked at Huang Rong self-consciously, "Rong'er, I have something to ask you. Did Uncle Huang obtain the fragments of the Nine Yin Manual before?"

"How do you know that?"

Huang Rong was amazed, this was only known by the people on Peach Blossom Island, and even she never spread it.

"You just say yes or no."

"There is such a thing. Senior Wang Chongyang made a bet with my father and engraved the second half of the Nine Yin Manual to my father."

Although it was a secret, Huang Rong didn't think much of her sweetheart, and immediately explained, "It's just that it was stolen by my father's disciples, and it's still missing."

"I see."

Xia An nodded, and had some guesses in his heart.

"Why are you asking this?" Huang Rong asked curiously.

"I think I probably know who the murderer is."

Xia An looked at the series of footprints thoughtfully.

"Could it be that this matter has something to do with my father?" Huang Rong was taken aback.

"You can also say the same, but there is no direct relationship."

Xia An said, "Although the internal energy left on these corpses is extremely vicious, it is passed down in the same line as the Nine Yin Manual. This is obviously the result of a fork in the road."

"That is to say, the person who made the move must have practiced the incomplete version of the Nine Yin Manual."

"In this world, there are not many people who can meet the conditions."

"I see." Huang Rong gasped, "You mean, the murderers are those two who stole the Nine Yin Manual from my father?"

"Exactly."

Xia An nodded.

"how so?"

Huang Rong frowned, she never expected that the person who committed such a heinous crime would be related to Peach Blossom Island.

"Then what are you going to do now? Mind your own business?"

Li Mochou asked.

"Nothing?"

Xia An raised his brows, "I am in charge of the six doors. This kind of murder case is already under my management, so why talk about it?"

"Are you from the imperial court?" Li Mochou's expression changed.

"if not?"
