Chapter 11, Su Bian Entertainment Circle
Qing Yunzi knelt down to examine the corpse.
The deceased was a young man with multiple wounds, and apparently died of excessive blood loss.
After Qing Yunzi brushed away the messy hair that covered the face of the deceased, Fang Yan suddenly exclaimed: "Guan Shi?"
"Is it one of the three missing people? Then the others..." Although Ye Hanyu didn't finish his sentence, everyone felt that the others might be in danger.
"No!" Fang Yan murmured as if he was convincing others, but more like convincing himself, when he suddenly pushed everyone away and ran to the depths of the corridor.
"Wait..." Yue Butou couldn't stop him in time, he sighed, and followed suit.
Qingyunzi and several players had no choice but to catch up.
"Father, father..." When everyone caught up with Fang Yan, they saw him crying while hugging a middle-aged man.
"My condolences, my father, I've already gone." Mr. Lin persuaded with some concern.
However, Qing Yunzi noticed that the Patriarch of the Fang family was still holding a sword in his hand, and there was still blood on it.
"Mr. Fang, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Right now, it's more important to find out the real culprit."
Fang Yan wiped away his tears with his sleeve, his red eyes were full of hatred, "Yes, if we find out the real culprit, I will kill my enemy with my own hands!"
Qingyunzi comforted Fang Yan, picked up the sword in the hands of the Patriarch of the Fang family and examined it carefully, "Bootou Yue, look at this sword, does it match the wound on Guanshi Zhu's body?"
Catcher Yue also recalled it, and nodded, "That's right, this Qiushui sword is Brother Fang's favorite sword. The blade is narrower than ordinary swords. It's very special. It really matches the wound on Guanshi Zhu's body."
"Could it be that Guanshi Zhu was killed by the Patriarch of the Fang family?" Chen Xu frowned.
"It's possible, Mr. Fang, how is Steward Zhu's reputation in the mansion?" Ye Hanyu turned to Fang Yan and asked.
Fang Yan was also very puzzled, and replied: "Guan Zhu has always been loyal and kind to others, and my father also trusts him very much. He is responsible for all the purchases in the house."
"That's strange. Could it be because of money?" Mr. Lin speculated boldly. "Or, Manager Zhu's corruption was discovered, and he acted first in order to cover up the crime."
"This possibility is not ruled out." Qing Yunzi nodded.
"You guys... Did you hear any strange noises?" Jian Ru suddenly asked, ever since she entered the secret room, she looked frightened.
Everyone held their breath, and they heard a fine "rustling" sound, like the sound of some insect flapping its wings.
Qing Yunzi raised the spirit stone over his head, and found a faint black shadow not far from the crowd, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a small flying insect.
The sound of "rustling" became louder and louder, and the swarm seemed to be getting closer and closer to everyone.
"Run!"
Everyone hurriedly ran to the depths of the corridor, and Jian Ru was so frightened that she ran while crying.
Not paying attention to her feet for a while, Jian Ru accidentally fell and fell to the ground, and shouted in horror: "I can't get up, help me..."
Qing Yunzi hurriedly turned back, helped Jian Ru up, and wanted to run with Jian Ru.
But it was too late, and in the blink of an eye, the swarm caught up.
"Ahhh..." Jian Ru closed her eyes in fright and cried out.
The expected pain did not come, Jian Ru tried to open her eyes, but saw that the swarm avoided the two of them, forming a vacuum around her.
A closer look reveals that these insects are white and look like termites with wings.
But twice the size of ordinary termites, such a large piece looks really scary.
While heaving a sigh of relief, Jian Ru was also frightened for a while, and fell to the ground, "What... what's going on?"
"It's a kit," Qing Yunzi took out the faintly fluorescent kit from his bosom. "Fortunately, I distributed all the kits before entering the secret room."
The swarm gathered around the two of them for a while, as if they were afraid of the kit in their hands, they dispersed after a while.
"Let's go, follow them." Only then did Qing Yunzi help Jian Ru, whose legs were limp and unable to stand, and continued walking towards the corridor.
After walking for nearly 5 minutes, I saw Yue Butou and the others. They were also very embarrassed, sitting on the ground profusely sweating.
Seeing Qingyunzi and Jianru, everyone was also very happy.
Ye Hanyu smiled and said, "Brother, it's good that you're fine."
Chen Xu explained with a bitter expression: "We didn't dare to stop when we saw you, senior brother, being overwhelmed by the insect swarm, and kept running forward.
As a result, I ran into this dead end. At that time, I thought it was over.
Unexpectedly, the bugs did not dare to approach us, and dispersed by themselves after a while. "
"A dead end?" Qing Yunzi stepped forward to look, and found that what blocked everyone was a tightly closed stone gate.
"Is there any mechanism?" Jian Ru also came up.
"We searched around and found a stone tablet with gossip engraved by the door." Mr. Lin said hastily.
Qing Yunzi stepped forward to look carefully at the stone slab they found. It was in the shape of an Eight Diagrams, much like an Eight Diagrams mirror, with the symbols of the Eight Diagrams engraved on the side.
The symbols are raised and look like they can be pressed.
"We tried it before, but it didn't open." Ye Hanyu added.
Qing Yunzi lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly seemed to think of something, and took out the kit from his bosom.
When I opened it, there were two small translucent beads inside, one khaki and one big red.
Qing Yunzi smiled and said, "I think I know the answer."
Immediately after pressing the gossip a few times, the door opened.
Seeing everyone's surprised eyes, he explained: "Yellow represents earth in the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and in the eight trigrams, earth is the image of the hexagram Kun. Red in the five elements represents fire, and fire is the image of the hexagram Li in the eight trigrams.
So the switch of this stone slab should be these two hexagrams, and you only need to try the sequence to unlock it. "
After the stone gate is opened, there is another world, which looks like a miniature version of the main courtyard on the ground, with all living, sitting and sleeping utensils available.
"Ahem, who is it?" An old voice accompanied by a weak cough sounded, and there was still someone inside!
Da da da, an old man with white beard and hair came out of the inner room with his body bent and crutches.
His dim eyes narrowed, looking at the crowd who suddenly appeared.
"I wish the housekeeper, you are still alive!" Fang Yan said in surprise.
Seeing Fang Yan, the butler Zhu's eyes turned red immediately, and he staggered over, "Young master, you are still alive! God bless you, master, have you seen that, the Fang family still has a descendant!"
Fang Yan and Steward Zhu cried for a while, until they both stabilized their emotions.
Fang Yan asked bitterly with red eyes: "Housekeeper Zhu, why did you appear here, what happened, and who is the murderer who killed my family!"
Steward Zhu sighed, "It's hard to say, it's the treasure that caused the disaster. Anyway, now that the thing that caused the disaster is gone, I'll say it all."
Steward Zhu looked at Fang Yan, "You know that our Fang family started out as a brewer, but do you know why the Fang family's wine is so famous?"
Fang Yan nodded: "Because our Fang family has the treasure of the town store, rejuvenation wine. This kind of medicinal wine not only does not hurt the body, but also has the effect of prolonging life after long-term consumption. It has always been sought after by the rich and powerful."
Steward Zhu nodded, "The reputation of Fangjia Winery is all thanks to the Rejuvenation Wine.
And the magic of this spring wine is related to a secret treasure of the Fang family. "
Everyone was surprised.
Steward Zhu continued: "This secret treasure, called the Rejuvenation Pot, was accidentally discovered by the Patriarch when he was young.
Every night when the moon is full, the Rejuvenation Pot will automatically produce a colorless liquid.
However, the owner of the family discovered that this liquid can prolong life only if it is placed in wine, and later developed the world-famous rejuvenation wine. "
"So that's how it is." Yue Butou said: "Before I heard that many wineries wanted to obtain the secret recipe of rejuvenation wine, but they couldn't copy it. It turns out that there is a secret treasure."
Steward Zhu sighed again: "Having a treasure is not necessarily a good thing, sometimes it is also the source of disaster."
"Could it be that the murderer this time came after the Rejuvenation Pot?" Fang Yan asked.
"Yes," Butler Zhu nodded, and took out a small jasper pot, "The head of the family tried his best to lure the thief away, and handed over the pot of rejuvenation to me, hoping that I could hand it over to the descendants of the Fang family."
Tremblingly, he handed the small pot to Fang Yan's hand, choked up and said, "Unfortunately, the Rejuvenation Pot was broken during the competition. Master, I owe you a great trust."
Everyone looked intently, and they saw an obvious crack on the small jasper pot.
At this moment, a bell rang, and after five bells, everything around suddenly turned gray and white.
The npc also suddenly froze.
Pan Hui's voice sounded: "It's time for the first vote, all players please get ready."
