When I woke up, I felt cold all over, the surroundings were pitch black, and my vision was even more blurry. Mo Shuruo moved his head and vaguely heard the sound of water dripping. He struggled to sit up from the ground, and he didn't know how long he had been there.

The muscles suddenly contracted, causing her to gasp in pain. After she recovered, she realized that the place she was in was a cave that was always wet.

Mo Shuruo managed to walk a few steps while holding on to the stone wall. Looking back, he vaguely remembered that he had been knocked unconscious by someone.

There was no way out of the cave with an unobstructed view. She raised her head and looked at the moon above her head and curled her lips. She didn't know who was so cruel and tied her up and threw her into such a dry cave.

After being sleepy for several days, I was afraid that no one would care about me even if I died.

She sat down on a relatively dry stone, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure out who brought her here. Just at this moment, footsteps came from outside the cave, and she jumped up and ran back and forth in a panic.

Then she suddenly stopped. There was really no place to hide in the cave, and it was even more unrealistic to pretend to be dead. After a long mental struggle, she sat down again. Although she was very scared, she still planned to take a look at the person who kidnapped her.

Who is it?

Someone jumped down from the Tiancai. The moonlight darkened for a moment and then lit up again. There was already a figure in front of her. She could not get any effective information except that she was covered in black robes.

"The people of the Mo family are really unusual." The voice was so gloomy that one could not distinguish between male and female.

She blinked and grinned: "Thank you for the compliment."

The man sneered: "Aren't you curious who I am?"

Mo Shuruo said: "Isn't it just to hide your identity by covering up your whole body? Besides, even if I ask, you may not tell me, so why should I waste my words and say meaningless things?"

"If you speak sharply, you won't be afraid of getting into trouble!"

She asked back: "Which thing in the Mo family doesn't get you into trouble?"

The man in black snorted coldly: "It's because you are so troublesome that you are here today."

She heard something, "Does the matter of Xinling have anything to do with you?"

The man in black probably thought she was setting a trap for him, so he sneered: "You Mo family are very capable, come up with evidence."

Uncle Mo couldn't bear to taint every word of the Mo family. Seeing the man's ridicule, he said angrily: "You know the evil you have done best. Although I have no evidence at this time, the truth is the truth, and it will always be made public.

one day."

"The truth?" The man in black raised his head and laughed.

Mo Shuruo frowned, looking confused.

The man in black suddenly stepped up and lifted the clothes from her chest. The movement was so fast that she was so frightened that she even forgot to breathe.

The man in front of him was ruthless and mysterious. In a head-to-head encounter, Mo Shuruo was no match for him, whether it was force or words.

The man's voice was gloomy, "I was going to kill you, but as you said, I have to let you live to take a closer look at the truth and take a look at this ugly world." After saying that, he left her and faced her.

took a step back.

The feeling of oppression went away, and Mo Shuruo took a deep breath.

Did he just mean that he wouldn't kill her?

I saw that the man was about to jump out again.

Once this man left, she didn't know how long she would stay in the cave. Her grandfather was not in good health, and if she made him frightened again, she would really die.

No matter what, we must not sit still and wait for death. Besides, our lives have been guaranteed, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Mo Shuruo jumped over and grabbed the man in black's robe, "You tied me because the Mo family interfered with Xinling, but speaking of which, I have no grudge against you. Even a heinous sinner should know who he was killed by."

Right."

The man in black looked at her quietly, "What do you want to know?"

Although this man looked fierce, he was willing to let her go, so it was obvious that he was not cruel in nature.

"Tell me, who are you?" She suddenly shook her head and frowned: "No, I must have seen you." She remembered the first time she encountered a dead body when she was in Baiyue, and what she saw when Yan Jue rescued her.

The man in black who warned them.

An idea flashed in her mind, "Yes, it must be!" She raised his right hand and raised it. Although even the hand was covered, she still said her guess, "You are Jinglou Xue, right?"

The man in black seemed to be panicking. He waved away Mo Shuruo and opened her with a palm. Mo Shuruo fell to the ground and raised his head again. The man in black was gone.

Her throat felt sweet, and a trace of bright red slowly slipped from the corner of her mouth. She didn't bother to wipe it, and just sat on the ground in a daze.

It is no wonder that you are so panicked!

If this person is really Jinglou Xue, then why did she put the poison to harm Baiyue? Didn't she fall in love with Baiyue Xi? What is her purpose? And there is the biggest doubt here, that is Jinglou

Xue went crazy suddenly. Maybe if you understand the reason for her madness, many questions can be easily solved. But if this person is not Jinglou Xue, who is he? Who would think that Baiyue is in civil strife, and Baiyue will be hostile to Baiyue once chaos breaks out?

Who benefits?

An answer suddenly popped into my head.

Mo Shuruo quickly shook his head in denial. It couldn't be the second guess, it didn't make sense...the more he denied it, the more likely it seemed...

Something is slowly surfacing, and with just a little guidance, the fragments can be connected to form the general truth of the matter. But at this time, a conjecture emerged, the water became turbid again, and the matter once again had no clue.

She closed her eyes, struggling in her heart, "Is it Jinglouxue or..."

No matter which conjecture it is, as long as one of them is proved, the other one will be self-defeating.

After being quiet for a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes, as if remembering something, she quickly took out a wooden box from her pocket. When she opened it, it actually contained the snow statue of the Beijing Tower that she had picked up. She picked it up and looked closely, and seemed to find what she wanted.

When asked for an answer, his eyes were filled with shock for a moment, but later he murmured as if he was relieved: "Yes, as long as you confirm this, you will find a breakthrough."

In the hand that was slowly lowered, the orchid finger of the woman with flying wood-carved skirt was slightly raised, and her movements were obviously dancing with the wind. On the slender index finger of her right hand, if you look carefully, you can see that there is even a delicate knuckle ring carved on it.

There are many customs of human sacrifice in Baiyue. For example, children born in the Yin period will be given a ring symbolizing their mission when they turn eighteen. This ring will be taken out of the hot stove and then inserted into their bodies.

The index finger, after the pain, can never be taken off.

As long as you can see the right hand of the man in black, the identity of the murderer will be clear.

Mo Shuruo sat in the cave all night, until the sky gradually turned white, and the man in black finally came back. The thing thrown casually was a white-faced steamed bun bought at the market, and Mo Shuruo picked it up and squatted aside and ate it slowly.

, occasionally peeking at the man in black who was meditating on the spot.

She was thinking about how to uncover the hand veil of the man in black to prove that the person in front of her might be the legendary Jinglouxue who was burned to death. But she was very conflicted. It was not that Jinglouxue was crazy.

Well, if this man in black is really her, why does he act so normal? It’s really puzzling.

Mo Shuruo shook his head and sighed. There was a sudden pain in his hand, and the man in black jumped over and grabbed her arm.

"What are you thinking! Let me tell you, don't think that anyone will come to save you." The man's voice was strange, as if he was shouting due to extreme uneasiness.

Uncle Mo struggled hard in pain, "Let go, it hurts."

Perhaps because he was impatient with her struggle, the man in black pushed her outward hard. How could Uncle Mo withstand such treatment and directly hit the stone wall. Not to mention the physical pain from the hit, he had put it in his arms before.

The wooden sculpture inside was also knocked out, and rolled to the man's feet with two clatters. He was stunned for a moment, and then bent down to pick it up with trembling hands.

Mo Shuruo sat on the ground and watched quietly.

She saw the man in black holding the wooden sculpture and staggering back several steps, muttering something softly as he backed away. When she listened carefully, she saw the man in black leaping in front of her like the wind, grabbing her shoulders, and was so excited that she could not speak incoherently.

, even forgetting to disguise his voice, "Who are you? Where did you get this wood carving? Tell me, tell me!"

She frowned. Although her shoulders were dug into by the nails of the man in black, there was still a smile on her face, "I picked it up."

She guessed correctly after all, this person was indeed Jinglou Xue.

"Do you think I will believe it?" The man in black lifted her from the ground, pressed her hard against the stone wall, and yelled: "Tell me, what is your relationship with Baiyue Xi? Did he marry you? Where is he now?

?”

Mo Shuruo struggled for a long time, but this man was stronger than her, so he could only yell loudly: "I don't know Baiyue Xi. You stopped me from coming to Baiyue all the way. Don't you know my life experience!"

This sentence seemed to remind the man in black, "Yes, you are from the Mo family. You came to Baiyue to check on me. You are the same as them. You want me dead!"

There was something wrong with her voice, like a sign of illness. Who knew next, the man in black grabbed her neck and held it down, "You are all liars, Jing Zhaoxian is a liar, Baiyue

Xi is also a liar. Do you think I will believe you? I will kill you so no one can stop me from taking revenge on them."

The air in his chest was getting less and less, and Mo Shuruo's whole face turned red from holding it in. He slapped the man in black's arm vigorously, while squeezing out as many words as possible, "If you kill me... you will spend the rest of your life

Just... Baiyue Xi can no longer be found..."

The hands loosened in an instant, and she had no support. She fell to the ground along the stone wall. Jinglouxue raised her hand and grabbed half of her arms, "Do you know where Baiyue Xi is? Take me to find him, otherwise I will

Kill you!"

After Mo Shuruo regained his breath, he coughed a few times, shook his head and said, "He is in a place where others can't find him. If you want to see him, you must answer a few questions from me."

"what is the problem?"

She sat up awkwardly and took out the wooden box containing wet soil from her pocket, "Did you put the corpse poison?"

"yes."

She was surprised that Jinglou Xue answered so directly. She touched her nose and continued: "Why are you looking for him?"

"I want to ask him clearly why he broke his vow and married another woman?"

Mo Shuruo felt a headache. Baiyue Xi had obviously died under her sword, so how could he marry another woman? In the end, he had no choice but to say silently in his heart: She is already crazy, she is already crazy...

She should not rely too much on external factors for everything, and she had to figure everything out by herself.

Mo Shuruo looked at the eyes under the brim of his hat, "Do you want to see him again?" Without waiting for anyone to answer, he lowered his head and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, poured two pills into the palm of his hand and handed it to her.
To be continued...
