Upon hearing this, Gu Liang and Yang Ye looked at each other, and immediately got up and walked towards the waterfall in the back mountain.

The place behind Qingqiong Mountain is huge.

There is Xuanji Stone under the waterfall, and there is a pond under the stone. In front of the stone pond is a rather open area, which is usually the place where Leng Xianjun and his evil apprentice practice swords.

To the south of this open space is the bamboo house where the master and apprentice lived.

At this moment, the two of them passed through the open space where they practiced swords, and were walking in the direction of the waterfall.

Along the way, Yang Ye also told Gu Liang his timeline after setting the "Rebound Curse".

To the north of the waterfall is the bamboo forest. After crossing the bamboo forest and continuing to the north, it is the residence of Snow Fairy.

Xue Xiangu is proficient in Qimen Dunjia and mechanism techniques, so she is responsible for guarding the nine-storied pagoda.

The nine-storied pagoda hides all kinds of rare treasures, which are scavenged by Qingqiong people from all over the world, so the nine-storied pagoda is actually equivalent to Qingqiong's treasure house.

According to Yang Ye, he knew that Aunt Xue liked to eat peach blossom honey.

There are many peach blossoms in Qingqiong, this kind of nectar is a specialty of Qingqiong, and the cooks make a lot of it every year.

But the chef does not recommend drinking peach blossom honey with wine.

Because peach blossom honey and wine can make people drunk for several hours.

There happened to be a jar of peach blossom honey in the house of the evil apprentice.

So yesterday he took out a can of peach blossom honey, added wine to it, sealed it up again, and carried it with him.

He planned to get drunk with Snow Fairy and sneak into the nine-storied pagoda to steal the treasure.

Therefore, Yang Ye went to the Nine-Storied Pagoda with the peach blossom honey that had been mixed with wine after casting a rebound spell in his bamboo house yesterday.

The smell of wine is overwhelmed by the smell of the nectar itself, making it completely indistinguishable.

When Yang Ye arrived at the Nine-Storied Pagoda, it was almost Haishi, that is, 9 o'clock last night.

The first floor of the nine-storied pagoda is where Xue Xiangu usually stays, and the second floor is where the treasure is hidden.

When Yang Ye arrived, he found that Aunt Xue was already drunk.

There is half a jar of peach blossom honey on her desk, and the smell of peach blossom honey fills the room.

I just don't know whether she was drunk because she was greedy for wine and nectar, or if she was drunk first by someone else.

At this point in the story, Yang Ye continued: "Later, I sneaked into the second floor. The treasure list was hidden on the second floor. After searching for a long time, I realized that the treasure I wanted was hidden on the seventh floor. The nine-storied pagoda Here, starting from the second floor, there are mechanisms on each floor, and then I will crack them layer by layer. Those mechanisms are too difficult. just came back."

"After I came back, Aunt Fengxian was waiting for me holding the wedding dress. She asked me why there was my shadow in the room, but there was no one when I entered the room. I didn't explain much. Then I chatted with her for a while, and ate Dinner... Finally, I tried on the wedding dress for her to see, and the performance was over."

Gu Liang thought for a while and said, "Even if you go back to the house at 6 p.m., it was almost 11 p.m. when you saw me. You guys ate and chatted for 5 hours?"

Yang Ye smiled and took Gu Liang's hand: "Tsk, I didn't realize before that Liangliang is so jealous."

Seeing that Gu Liang was still staring at him, Yang Ye hurriedly said: "The main reason is that I hide the stolen treasure on my body. I can't let her find out, so I pretended to cater to her topic, and pretended not to think about the past at all. That's all Flirtation!"

She and I are fake, just playing around.Me and you are real.

Isn't this a typical scumbag term?

Forget it.

Gu Liang looked at Yang Ye, and asked again: "The treasure you spent so long stealing...what is it?"

"It's called [Magical Sundial]." Yang Ye took out something from his arms and showed it to Gu Liang.

Gu Liang saw that it was really a small sundial, which looked like a stone, with time scales and pointers on it.

"What's the use of it?" Gu Liang asked.

Yang Yedao: "It is said that it can affect time and space. I take it because I want time to stop temporarily."

"The darkroom they built under Qingyun Hall is indeed unbreakable. After much deliberation, there is only one way, and that is to temporarily stop time for a moment."

"When the time comes, another secret door will open on the ground where you were locked up, allowing you to fall into the true fire of samadhi."

"Before I was planning to die, I fooled the heads and said, we have to open the secret door on Qingyun Hall to see if the mechanism under you has been activated smoothly."

"Everyone is very concerned about this matter. After all, the institution has been built for 100 years. What if something goes wrong? Even if everyone thinks there is no problem, because they want to confirm it before they can rest assured, it will probably happen in Zishi At that time, open the secret door of Qingyun Palace and see if you fall through."

"Therefore, as soon as the midnight arrives, and the chief seats open the secret door out of curiosity, I will immediately activate the magic sundial to stop time, so that you will not have time to actually fall into the sea of ​​fire, but will be suspended in mid-air. "

"The dark room is unbreakable, and again, only the four heads and the three fairies know how to open the secret door. What I need to wait is actually the time for them to open the secret door."

"People who hold a sundial will not be affected by the stillness of time. As long as the time door is opened, I can first use the soft ladder to reach the place where you are locked up, and then find the rope to go down to find the person who is about to fall into the sea of ​​fire but You who have not yet fallen, who are suspended in the air as time stops, will take you to the secret room behind the waterfall, and use the teleportation array to leave."

"After we left, time flowed normally. And they can't find us anymore."

Hearing Yang Ye's words, Gu Liang couldn't help looking at the sundial in his hand. "Can affect time and space... Will it have other uses?"

Yang Yedao: "I think there should be. We have to look for it again. The nine-storied pagoda will be the key search site."

Gu Liang thought for a moment, and returned the sundial to Yang Ye.

Seeing that his expression was different, Yang Ye asked him, "What's wrong?"

Gu Liang's gaze was a little soft. "It's nothing... I just feel that you really know everything about me."

After a pause, Gu Liang continued to say seriously: "Compared to when I was a murderer before, I didn't tell you anything. I'm a little ashamed."

Yang Ye gently rubbed his head: "I'm not sure I'm the murderer."

Gu Liang's expression returned to serious: "Actually, this time, I'm really worried."

Yang Ye said again: "We didn't fall in love at that time."

Gu Liang didn't say anything else, just stared at Yang Ye for a moment, then continued walking forward. "Well, let's go, we're almost at the waterfall."

Yang Ye kept up with him, and only said: "Actually, if I'm really the murderer, it's quite fun to get this book. I can throw the sundial in the public area. Of course, there are also those in my room that record 'Rebound Curse'. It can also be thrown in the public area together, saying that it was stolen. That way, even if everyone knows the rebound spell, no one can prove that it must be related to me..."

"Hey Liangliang, when we get back to reality, let's go play that kind of script killing that doesn't involve life and death. Let's see who can win."

"Okay. Let's have a better time then."

When Gu Liang said this, his heart skipped a beat, but he had to try his best to suppress the anxiety first.

When Gu Liang and Yang Ye rushed to the corpse, the rest of the players also arrived one after another.

In this way, without seeing the face of the corpse, Gu Liang can only know who the dead is.

——The three fairies are all there, but one of the four heads is missing.

Sure enough, when everyone turned the body upside down, Gu Liang was able to see his face clearly, and found that his face was indeed Tushouzuo.

But in this way, Gu Liang has a question.

There are quite a lot of show operations in this system, and it especially prefers bloody plots, but its big logic is basically no problem, and when it announces the public plots, it always protects all players' tactics, and the words are more particular.

For example, in the script of the old castle before, the triple meaning of the Duke’s dream was hinted at to the player even through the descriptions of tasks and missions in different stages.

Therefore, Gu Liang does not think that the sentence that the system just hinted that there is more than one corpse is a condition for confusion.

Since it said that, it should mean that there was more than one corpse, and more than one person must have died this time.

But now, except for Tushou, all the players are there.

Except for himself and Yang Ye, the three heads of gold, fire, and wood, and the three fairies of wind, snow, and cloud were all present.

—So, whose body would it be?

All clues given by the system are useful.

Furthermore, players cannot use their imaginations casually for clues not given by the system.

Therefore, Gu Liang didn't think there would be a corpse whose name and identity he didn't know.

Just like in the script of "Rhinoceros", although he himself has never seen money wandering, but in his timeline there was money wandering to the inn to make trouble, and from other players, there were also money wandering living on the other side clue.

The mysterious man in "The Folding Castle" also dangled in front of everyone on the day of the crime and said a few lines.

Therefore, there is really no reason for another mysterious, unidentified body to appear.

Furthermore, as mentioned in yesterday's public plot, everyone at the luncheon yesterday was all the players.

Then, there must not be a second deceased.

What was going on with all this, Gu Liang couldn't figure it out for a moment.

He had no choice but to examine the corpse carefully with everyone first.

There are many wounds on the body.

First of all, a sword wound pierced through the chest, which was a deadly piercing wound.

Furthermore, there were various degrees of small scars on his neck and heart, some of which were scratched by tiny ropes, stones, knives or even sharp leaves.

He also had a large lump on the back of his head, indicating a severe blow to the head before his death.

In this way, two suspected fatal injuries have appeared on his body.

Finally, there is a word "earth" on his forehead. The color of this character is also close to the color of earth, which looks quite strange.

Fairy Xue said at this moment: "According to the setting of our script, if you use magic to deal with people, no matter whether you die or not, the victim will leave corresponding marks on his body. For example, if you kill someone with water magic, there will be a ' on the forehead of the deceased." The word 'water'. But Tushouzuo himself practiced 'earth' spells. What's going on here? He dealt with himself?"

For a while, no one spoke.

The other players probably don't know what's going on.

But Gu Liang and Yang Ye knew it.

——The head of the earth must have dealt with the evil apprentice, and then he was hit by the rebound spell.

As far as Gu Liang currently has clues, this is the only possibility.

But Gu Liang didn't say anything for the time being, but carefully took pictures of various parts of the corpse under the light of the rush grass.

After taking pictures of the corpse, Gu Liang carefully took pictures of the murder scene.

The corpse was placed in the stone pool in front of Xuanji Stone.

It is suspected that the waterfall of the Milky Way Falling Nine Heavens covered the Xuanji Stone and his body.

Therefore, although many people came and went around the waterfall after his death, they did not see his body.

Gu Liang can only get a preliminary inference - there should be many people who have come to the Xuanji Stone to read the prophecy, whether it is Tushouzuo, or the people in night clothes who sneaked up on the evil apprentice at Xushi yesterday, they all came to the Xuanji Stone after seeing the Xuanji Stone. Decided to take action against the evil apprentice.

Then, after Tushouzuo's death, except for the murderer, no one should have come to Xuanji Stone to read the prophecy, otherwise the body would not have been found by no one.

In this way, after a while, you can roughly ask everyone about the timeline, especially when you come to Xuanji Stone to read the prophecy, and you can sort out the approximate death time of the deceased.

While Gu Liang was taking pictures, several players began to search around the corpse.

In the end, Yang Ye found a pen from under a stone in the water.

Yang Ye called him: "Liangliang, come and take a picture. This pen should be very important. It didn't just sit by the rock, but was pressed under a big rock."

Gu Liang did not hesitate to praise Yang Ye. "Then it's amazing that you can find it."

Yang Ye smiled and handed him the pen: "This means that this pen was not randomly discarded in the pool, but deliberately hidden under a rock."

Gu Liang took the pen and saw three characters written on it - "Yuheng pen".

Several other players came over, and after seeing these three words, they were a little confused for a while.

Xue Xiangu had a bitter face: "Yuheng? What do you mean? This fairy tale book is about five elements and these ancient words. I don't understand it. My head is going to grow big. I grew up in ABC abroad. ...French and English are fine, I was happy in a book full of clues in English before. This time I'm really confused."

On the side, Yang Ye glanced at Gu Liang's expression and knew that he understood the word.

Yang Ye reckoned that it was time for Gu Liangliang's science popularization.

Sure enough, Gu Liang quickly said: "Everyone knows that the Big Dipper has its own name. There is a saying that the names of the seven stars are Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, Yaoguang."

"Then in this way, Yuheng refers to one of the seven stars."

"But there is another theory. Everyone knows that the Big Dipper is in the shape of a spoon. The term Yuheng refers to the three stars at the handle of the spoon. As for the other four stars that make up the front of the spoon, they are It's called Xuanji."

Gu Liangdao, "We still have to find clues about the specific function of the Yuheng pen. But since this stone is called the Xuanji Stone, I tend to think that the Yuheng in this script refers to the three stars in the Big Dipper."

"Therefore, Xuanji Yuheng together form the Big Dipper."

"Xuanji stone, Yuheng pen, the combination of these two things must have some purpose."
