After staying in An City for a while and dealing with everything, they were ready to go to King City.
Although Xiu still looked depressed these few days, she was not as resistant to this group of people as she used to be.
The people who attacked Qinghu and Baisu in the Qi Family were also the real murderers of the Qi Family.
These people were very unyielding. When they realized that they had failed their mission, they fought with their lives on the line.
If Qinghu and Baisu were not skilled in martial arts, they would have suffered more serious losses.
At first, Lin Mengya wanted to do the autopsy herself, but the whole family strongly opposed it.
In the end, Xiao Yu found the best coroner in An City. Under Lin Mengya's repeated instructions, the coroner did the autopsy very carefully.
However, the result was a little disappointing. Those people had nothing to prove their identity. What made Lin Mengya feel the most strange was that none of them had any genital organs.
And it was not cut off. These people were not born with puberty, so it was impossible to determine their gender.
Of course, there were such diseases in modern times. But Lin Mengya felt a little creepy when she saw more than 20 killers whose gender could not be determined.
No gender meant that there would be no next generation. Lin Mengya had a vague idea in her mind.
If that was the case, the person behind this was too crazy.
This matter was like a fishbone in Lin Mengya's throat. She wanted to find out the truth.
Unfortunately, the only clue was the crazy Wanyan Lie.
As for why the Qi Family had to be destroyed, Lin Mengya only felt that the truth was not far from them.
After leaving the boundary of An City, they could reach King City in one day's drive.
For safety, Xiu took the same carriage with Lin Mengya and Baisu.
The others were on guard outside. Xiao Yu gave a strict order that no one was allowed to leave Lin Mengya's carriage without permission.
She closed her eyes, emptied her mind, and sorted out the information she already knew little by little.
In the system, countless incidents were like moving dots. Little by little, she found the connections between them and linked them together with clues.
But there were just too many things, too complicated. Even though her processing speed had long surpassed that of an ordinary person's brain, there were still many things that made her feel helpless.
As the saying goes, there is a cause and effect. Since there is an effect, there is no lack of causes.
Lin Mengya calmed herself down and tried hard not to be defeated by the frustration of temporary failure.
She was trying hard to recall the connection between these events.
Clearly, all the known events pointed to the Gu Wei Nation and the Celestial City Ruins. However, she was more and more confused now. What exactly was inside the Gu Wei Nation and the Celestial City Ruins?
If there were gold, silver, and jewelry inside, rather than wasting manpower and resources, it would be more practical to mine for gold.
Could it be some kind of peerless martial arts secret manual? However, she immediately rejected this idea.
What was it that could make those ambitious people in the imperial court flock to it like a flock of ducks, and also make the people of Jianghu so passionate?
This was the biggest problem Lin Mengya had encountered so far. At least until now, she still had no solution to it.
Frowning slightly, Lin Mengya felt that she seemed to be a small bug tightly tied up by spider silk.
She took a deep breath. Lin Mengya knew that the most important thing for her now was to control the Gu King in Xiaoyu's body first. As for the rest, there would always be a solution.
"Xiu, Xiu?"
Lin Mengya called the girl a few times, but Xiu seemed to have lost her soul and rushed in her direction in a daze.
Shaking her head, Lin Mengya took Xiu's hand and found that her little hand was cold.
"Sister Lin, I …"
Xiu, who had always been as bright as the sun, had become like this now. Lin Mengya felt distressed and also a little troubled.
"Don't put such a heavy psychological burden on yourself. Whether it's the Qi Family or Wanyan Lie, it's not your fault alone. In fact, there are some things that we can't control. Do you understand what I mean? "
Xiu hesitated for a moment and slowly breathed out after a long time.
"No, Sister Lin. In fact, the people of the Qi Family can not die. I heard those people's words that night. They … they came to catch me … At that time, my acupoints were poked by Prince Lie. When I rushed out, the people of the Qi Family were all dead. Although I couldn't see the way they died, I'm afraid I can never forget the smell of blood in my life. "
Xiu hugged herself tightly, as if she had fallen into the trembling brought by that day.
Lin Mengya stared at Xiu for a long time. This child's heart was too crystal clear. The more it was so, the easier it was for her to remember some things.
"Xiu, do you know why they are looking for you?"
Xiu shook her head. In fact, she didn't know what had happened.
"If a person wants to try his best to catch another person, he will either be useful to himself or make himself afraid. Xiu, which one do you think you are? "
Xiu thought for a while and continued to shake her head.
Lin Mengya looked out of the window. The sun was shining brightly.
"The most powerful thing about you is not the power of the Dongfang Family, but the Voodoo, right? They want to destroy the Qi Family. Maybe it's because they know you are among them, but they don't know who you are. They killed everyone and put an end to it. So even if you are useful to them, you are not very useful. But they must kill you, which means that your existence is a threat to some people hiding in the dark. Now, do you understand what I mean? "
Lin Mengya didn't want to talk about some vague principles. In fact, with Xiu's experience and family background, she knew all the principles.
The only thing this girl lacked was the calmness to see through the world. Some hatred would never be forgotten, but it could be buried in the heart and melted into hot magma.
"I … I understand."
There was a little hesitation in her tone, but she had a firm foundation.
Lin Mengya saw that Xiu continued to be silent, but she was not so worried.
The carriage suddenly stopped at this time. After a while, Xiaoyu opened the curtain of the carriage and frowned slightly on his young face.
"Sister, the King has sent someone to take over Uncle Lie. What should we do?"
Lin Mengya replied after thinking for a while.
"Then I'll have to trouble you. You go back with them first, and we'll meet at the Shenwu Temple tomorrow."
Xiao Yu nodded, and after giving a few more instructions, she left with her people.
Lin Mengya knew what the King meant. Wanyan Lie did not do honorably. At least after the Dongfang Family knew, the King and Xiaoyu had to give them an explanation no matter what happened to Xiu.
Wanyan Lie was secretly escorted back to the capital, and they went to the Shenwu Temple first.
The more Lin Mengya thought about the 15th of September that Wanyan Lie mentioned, the more suspicious she felt.
Her intuition told her that maybe the Lord Shenwu knew more about this than Baisu.
The checks inside and outside the capital were much stricter than the last time she came here.
Fortunately, they had the seal left by Xiaoyu, so no one dared to make things difficult for them.
Many of them came to the capital of Lieyun for the first time, and it was also the first time they saw the mysterious and solemn Shenwu Temple.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Shenwu Temple, the steward who guarded the door stopped them.
Lin Mengya also got off the horse carriage, but she felt that the steward was unfamiliar.
"Excuse me, where is the steward from before?"
The steward said after bowing respectfully.
"Elder Sister Fang has some matters to attend to and has gone home. May I know the reason for your visit?"
"I'm an old friend of the Lord Shenwu, and I'm here specially to visit him. I wonder if you can make things convenient for us?"
The steward looked a little awkward. Seeing this, Baisu immediately took out Xiaoyu's seal.
The steward took it, and after reading it carefully, he looked more respectful than before.
"So you're Prince Yu's man, I'm sorry. Esteemed guests, please follow me. "
Lin Mengya also nodded politely, and left Xu Shan to look after the horse carriage. Shi Bupo, Xiu, and Baisu followed her in.
The Shenwu Temple was still the same, but there were fewer people than before.
"I don't know how the Lord Shenwu is doing, but it seems to be much quieter here."
The steward sighed softly, "The Lord Shenwu's health has not been very good, and he has fallen ill from overwork recently. The doctor said that he needs to focus on recuperation, so he dismissed most of the people. If it weren't for this lady holding Prince Yu's seal, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do anything. "
Lin Mengya could not help but feel nervous. She knew about the Lord Shenwu's health.
She used to be her mother's good friend, and at the same time, she was the biological mother of her friend who was like a sister.
No matter what, she did not want anything to happen to the Lord Shenwu.
"Why don't you bring me there directly, sister? To be honest, I know a little about medicine, and I'm also familiar with the Lord Shenwu's health. If I go and treat him, there might be a better effect. "
The steward was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, she nodded hesitantly.
"Alright, I'll go and inform him first. Please wait in the side hall for a while. Miss, please follow me. "
Shi Bupo wanted to follow, but Lin Mengya asked him to stay.
The steward entered the inner hall first, and Lin Mengyao wanted to follow, but Xiu secretly held Lin Mengya's hand.
"There's something wrong with this person."
The young girl's soft voice could only be heard by her.
Lin Mengya narrowed her eyes and watched the steward's figure disappear behind the heavy door of the inner hall. She patted her hand.
"Be careful."
Xiu was still worried, but because of her warning, Lin Mengya was already on guard.
With so many people around, it would not be easy to harm her.
Not long after, the steward returned.
