It was just the word "Gu", but it was like a bolt from the blue, shocking all the demons present.
In an instant, everyone's reactions were imprinted in Ying Feiyang's eyes.
Chu Song trembled, and the silver needles in his hand fell.
Xie Lingyan's face turned pale, and she covered her chest.
Qin Feng raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of interest.
Zhao Ya's expression did not change, but her body suddenly emitted a strong killing intent.
Han Fu, on the other hand, let out a shrill scream. She jumped up in fear, and she was even more panicked than when she saw her husband's corpse. She said crazily, "It's him, it's really him! He killed my husband! He's coming to catch me! "
After the scream, her legs turned to jelly, and she fainted.
Chu Song quickly went forward to take a look. After confirming the situation, he said to the crowd, "She fainted because she was overwhelmed with grief and fear. It's not a big deal." After saying that, Chu Song sighed deeply.
Everyone could hear the heaviness in his breath.
Everyone knew the reason for the heaviness.
Ying Feiyang also knew, because when the word "Gu" was mentioned, everyone would first think of a name — "Gu God" Gu Xuanxing.
Gu Xuanxing was the second of the Seven Evils, and now one of the Five Wonders. "Gu God" Gu Xuanxing was indeed enough to make people's expressions change. Gu Xuanxing had been famous for a hundred years, and his use of Gu was superb. He was unparalleled in the universe, and he had all kinds of strange and indefensible Gu poisons in his body. Coupled with his evil, ruthless, and unpredictable personality, his Gu poisons were even better than Gu Xuanxing's. Even the top experts in the world could fall into his trap.
What was equally famous about his Gu poisons was his exuberant vitality, which seemed to never die. Gu Xuanxing was a species of poisonous toad, and he cultivated the "Heaven Devouring Immortality Technique". In times of danger, he could swallow the Spiritual Qi within ten miles to repair his injured body. He also had countless regenerative Gu worms living in his body. As long as he was still breathing, he could live.
Gu Jiansheng and Gongzi Ling both knew these two points. Years ago, Ling Xiao Sword School's Ren Yunyou, who was also Ren Jiuxiao's father, was killed by Gu Xuanxing in the Miao Territory. Gu Jiansheng wanted to avenge his fellow disciple, so he flew thousands of miles into the "Evil Obstruction Valley" and dismembered Gu Xuanxing with thousands of swords. In that battle, Gu Jiansheng was also poisoned by Gu Xuanxing. Fortunately, he created a method to wrap and isolate the Gu poison with Qi, so he was able to survive. Later, he used this method to help Ying Feiyang. Gu Jiansheng also admitted that it was a dangerous battle that was rarely seen in his life.
However, Gu Xuanxing, who had disappeared for several years and had clearly been dismembered by thousands of swords, had reappeared with even greater momentum than before. This time, for some reason, he had a conflict with Gongzi Ling. After a fierce battle, although Gu Xuanxing's forces were destroyed by Gongzi Ling, almost everyone, including Gongzi Ling, had tacitly agreed that Gu Xuanxing was still alive. As a result, there was always a place for him in the "Medical Gu Casting Divination".
Before this, there were many experts from various sects who had encircled and annihilated Gu Xuanxing dozens of times. It was even rumored that a hundred years ago, the Holy Buddha had also participated in the pursuit of Gu Xuanxing. However, he was either killed by mistake, didn't die, or escaped from death. To this day, almost all the people who had besieged and killed Gu Xuanxing were dead. More than half of them died of Gu Poison. However, Gu Xuanxing always disappeared for a period of time and then appeared again in a grand manner. Therefore, he was given the titles of "Invincible" and "Immortal Gu Demon".
It felt like he was a monster who was skilled in the art of Gu Poison and had a longer life than anyone else. Every time you thought you had killed him, you didn't know that he was hiding behind you, looking at your whole body with cold eyes and seriously thinking about which kind of Gu Poison was suitable for each of your body parts …
When Ying Feiyang thought of this, he suddenly felt cold and wet on his back, as if a Gu Poison had crawled over him. He hurriedly touched it, only to find that it was only cold sweat sliding down his spine.
After secretly cursing himself for scaring himself, Ying Feiyang suddenly thought of an even more terrifying thing.
"The night before the incident, Tie Shan asked if Gongzi Ling had cooperated with 'him'. Could that 'him' be referring to Gu Xuanxing?"
Since ancient times, medicine and Gu Poison were inseparable. Bringing the dead back to life was against the right way of medicine. The divine doctor Chu Bainiu couldn't do it, but could Gu Xuanxing, who was known as "Invincible", do it?
Gongzi Ling had always been an extreme person. Could he have reached an agreement with Gu Xuanxing in order to resurrect his dead wife? And Gu Xuanxing had indeed given him hope. He had really brought Xie Anping back to life. However, the method of resurrection was a little special. It was through the body of Xie Lingyan, who looked similar to her and had blood relations with her, that Gu Xuanxing had reappeared in the world in a way similar to reincarnation!
Ying Feiyang looked at Xie Lingyan in horror. He wanted to see something from her body, but she only frowned and looked at the fainted Han Fu. She said pitifully, "My poor sister, can't she escape from the entanglement of Gu Poison for the rest of her life? Zhao Ya, you continue to investigate and see if this matter is really related to that monster. I'll take Han Fu back to take care of her. "
Qin Feng also stood up and said to Xie Lingyan, "Don't force yourself. You still need to take care of people in this body. Just now you were shocked, and your illness must have acted up. I'm careless, so I can't do this kind of meticulous work. Let me send you back."
Xie Lingyan's face was pale, and there was fine cold sweat on her forehead. Obviously, she was not feeling well. Hearing this, she nodded and left.
Ying Feiyang wanted to use Han Fu as a breakthrough point. But seeing that she was unconscious, he had no way to ask her, so he had to look for other directions.
At this moment, he heard Zhao Ya's order, "Ladies of the villa, listen to me. Carefully search the surroundings to see if anything is missing and if there are any traces of being searched. But be careful not to damage the scene."
Ying Feiyang's eyes brightened, and he secretly praised Zhao Ya for her knowledge. Although Tie Shan's cultivation was not low, compared to Gongzi Ling and Gu Xuanxing, there was a world of difference. Even if the Poison God came, he would not be the first target.
The biggest possibility was that he had discovered something that he shouldn't have known, or even held some clues, which was why he was silenced. Now, it was necessary to find the "clues" that Tie Shan had.
Those who were selected for the investigation were all demons who knew the truth. Under Zhao Ya's order, the female demons immediately started the investigation in an orderly manner.
Zhao Ya glanced at Ying Feiyang coldly, and said, "Brother Ying, what you said just now is contradictory to what Mistress and Han Fu said. It's really suspicious. Although this matter may be related to that monster, there is no evidence. Before everything is investigated, please forgive me for being wary of you."
Ying Feiyang could understand, and said, "There is a difference between those who are close to you and those who are not close to you. It is indeed difficult for you to make Leader Zhao believe me and suspect Han Fu with just the word" Poison ". But I am willing to contribute a little to find out the truth for myself and Jinping Villa."
Zhao Ya nodded coldly and said, "If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you. However, let me say this first. If Young Master Ying does anything suspicious during this process, I'm afraid I'll be impolite."
"Of course." Ying Feiyang replied, but he still felt uncomfortable. Among the three beauties of Feng, Ya, and Song, Chu Song was his close friend, so there was no need to mention it. Qin Feng was unbridled and carefree. He had only met him a few times, but he could already 'tease' him without the slightest scruple. Only Zhao Ya, who was the leader of the three beauties, had a vague sense of hostility towards him. He could only think to himself, "Even if you have feelings for Gongzi Ling and treat my unlucky Senior Aunt Xie as your love rival, you don't have to hate me, who hates me, right …"
At this moment, he suddenly heard Zhao Ya say, "Wait … hmm, bring the brazier over!"
Zhao Ya's gaze landed on a maidservant carrying a brazier. Hearing this, the maidservant brought the brazier forward. Ying Feiyang looked at it and instantly found something strange.
It was just entering autumn, and the summer heat had not completely receded. There was no need to light a fire to keep warm. However, there was ash in the brazier, and if one looked closely, one could see that the color of the ash had several layers that could not be seen.
Due to the influence of moisture and oxidation, the color of the ash would be slightly different at different times.
Ying Feiyang saw Zhao Ya's intention and knew that women most likely liked cleanliness. He volunteered, "Let me do it."
As he spoke, he reached his hand into the brazier, not minding that it was dirty. However, Zhao Ya did not appreciate it. She also reached out a slender finger into the brazier and flipped it up and down.
"As expected, the ash at the bottom has already been damp and caked, but the ash at the top is still loose. It is fresh ash!"
After Ying Feiyang investigated, he immediately concluded that the brazier had been used recently. However, with the current weather, there was no need to keep warm. Then the biggest possibility was …
"Book paper has been burned!" As Zhao Ya spoke, her jade-white finger stirred up a patch of black ash. The strong contrast between the white and black made it even more obvious. Although the ash had been burned very small, this kind of flaky ash could only be left behind after the book was burned.
Ying Feiyang continued, "From the weight of the ash, it is not a piece of letter paper, but an entire book or a painting."
She then looked around. Tie Shan's room was converted into a woodshed. The decoration was extremely simple. There was no such thing as the Four Treasures of the Study, nor were there any paintings. However, there were a few books placed at the head of his bed!
Zhao Ya immediately strode forward and picked up the books. Ying Feiyang followed closely behind. He saw that these books were only about supernatural legends and could not be seen as rare.
"They really are books from the villa." Zhao Ya realized something was wrong. She asked loudly, "Does anyone know where these books came from?"
A female demon raised her hand and answered, "I know. I saw Sister Han Fu bringing Brother Tie Shan to the library. She said that Brother Tie Shan was bored and wanted to borrow a few books to relieve his boredom."
Zhao Ya continued to ask, "When?"
"The day before yesterday."
Ying Feiyang's expression changed again. The day before yesterday, Tie Shan had been killed. There must be a connection between the two.
Zhao Ya also thought of this. She said, "The few of you stop looking. Stand guard outside the house. Don't let other demons in. Follow me to the library."
As she spoke, she led the female demons out of the door.
Ying Feiyang and Chu Song looked at each other and quickly followed.
The Jinping Villa was built in the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Therefore, regardless of whether Young Master Ling read it or not, the book collection was indispensable.
The library was majestic, it was larger than most of the sects' Sutra Depository, but the books inside were more diverse. Even though there were manuals of martial arts and secret manuals, few demons were interested in them. On the contrary, the books about strange stories and legends were well received by the village's female demons, especially the [Pillow Story], [Biography of Liu Yi] and other books about love, which made many female demons cry.
Ying Feiyang followed the female demons to the library and found that it was Wei Meng 'er and the cat demon called Miao' er from the Sky Incense Valley again. As expected, the two little demonesses were fighting with the Zerg Battle Beetles again.
The two demons clearly did not know that a murder had happened in the villa. They were still having fun and did not know that a disaster was imminent.
"Bite it, bite it. Haha, in front of me, General Silver Back, your worm is bound to lose!" Wei Meng 'er, who had her back to the demons, did not notice.
However, the cat demon Miao 'er had already seen Zhao Ya. She pulled Wei Meng' er and wanted to keep the worm pot.
However, Wei Meng 'er did not want it. "What are you doing? Are you going to go back on your words after losing?"
