Bai Yixuan did not like Li Xuenan, but she had never truly thought of killing her, and in the end, he did not have any deep grudges against her. Li Xuenan's face was still vivid and lifelike, the smile on her face still looked somewhat peaceful.
"Bai Bai, I know you are a good person, although this Li Xuenan is really annoying, but I am also sad that she really died, so we can only work hard to find the culprit."
Chang Zigeng quickly nodded, "That's right, Yi Xuan, don't be too sad. Right now, isn't this obviously killing the people participating in the beauty contest?
Qiu Wenwen took a glance at Bai Yixuan and knew that Bai Yixuan was not telling the truth, but Qiu Wenwen did not know her intentions, so she did not say much. Bai Yixuan only smiled at them, "Where is macrosoman?"
Zhang Xian has lost a lot of weight because of this matter recently. Who would have thought that it would still be one case after another?
Bai Yixuan didn't say anything and directly went out to look for Zhang Xian. Qiu Wenwen knew that Bai Yixuan wanted to talk about some matters regarding the case with him, so she stopped her from following him.
Zhang Xian was still in the lobby. Bai Yixuan walked in front of Zhang Xian and asked, "Has Master found the link between these people?"
Zhang Xian nodded, "If no such thing happens today, I will immediately look for you!"
"What is it!"
Zhang Xian answered, "These dead girls are exactly seventeen years old, and they all participated in a sacrificial ceremony five years ago!"
"What sacrifice?" Bai Yixuan could not understand.
"It is a rather terrifying tradition. Because this place is surrounded by mountains, there are people who are often lost in the mountains, eaten by wild beasts, or mysteriously disappeared. Then, there are some people who are said to have gone missing because there is a mountain god protecting them, so they must give them gifts to stop all this!"
Bai Yixuan felt that this was unbelievable, and wanted to laugh, "So I have to give this woman to the mountain god?"
Zhang Xian shook his head, "At first, there wasn't, the person who suggested this was just trying to set up some offerings, but it was useless, only until one day when this person's daughter went to change her offerings did she disappear, when everyone thought that this girl disappeared because of the Mountain God's rage, there were no longer any missing people in the mountain, and there were even fewer wild beasts, so after that, this place would contribute to the mountain every year. The last time was five years ago, because it caused the death of the daughter of a high ranking official in the imperial city, so the system was abolished!"
"They all did?"
Zhang Xian nodded his head, "It was Liu Tan's father who recognized Hu Xiaohui and remembered that he played with this person before. Back then, the girls did not understand or know the true meaning of sacrifice, and the girls all lived on that mountain until one of them went missing and the rest could go down the mountain!"
"Who was that dead person and why did he appear in the capital?"
Zhang Xian replied, "That year, the daughter of a high official secretly ran out, but who would have thought that she would be captured by a family and die on the mountain! There wasn't just one person who died that year. "
"Who else?"
"Other than that official's daughter, Chen Shuyuan, there is also a woman who is living on the mountain. As for her name, no one knows."
"Isn't it impossible to live on that mountain?"
Zhang Xian shook his head, "I don't know, but because no one has seen the mountain, the people who live here shouldn't be too strange. It is said that there are three sisters living on the mountain, as for what happened, I'm not too sure either."
"Then how does the lord know these things?"
"Do you still remember that He Xiao who fought together with Li Xuenan?"
"I remember."
"Just before Li Xuenan died, she came to find me."
"I want to see her!"
When Bai Yixuan saw He Xiao, it was already late at night. Zhang Xian went to He Xiao's house with her, but Bai Yixuan did not expect his to be the only one in He Xiao's house.
He Xiao didn't seem to be too surprised by Bai Yixuan and her, she only stared at Bai Yixuan's face and said, "You're the one participating in the tournament, right?
Bai Yixuan didn't have time to be happy about this matter, she could only ask, "We still have something to ask you!"
"You guys can ask, Xue Nan is already dead, maybe I'll be next!"
"Just what exactly happened on the mountain back then? Or perhaps you know something else?"
This time, He Xiao did not try to hide anything, "Back then, we were just too young, we did not consider the causes and consequences when we did things, but who would have thought that after all these years, there would still be retribution!"
At that time, Xue Nan was not as unruly and unruly as she was now. I was just a poor person's daughter, yet she took great care of me, but at that time, I didn't know that Xue Nan wasn't taking care of me, but was trying to make me replace him if she was selected. Of course, I quickly found out, because of that Chen Shuyuan. "
"Chen Shuyuan is very smart, she said that she is the princess of the imperial court, and anyone who helps her would be able to enjoy a rich and powerful life, many people would be attracted by her, and followed his, causing the environment of the mountain to be very simple and crude, other than the person who built it, who doesn't have any living tools, all the other girls have never done any hard work, and many of them are all the young miss of the clan. I followed Li Xuenan and the weird Liu Tan at that time, her relationship with him is the best, but she had secretly told me that he wanted to use everyone as a substitute for himself, and she also told me that Li Xuenan treated me like that."
"Then what about Hu Xiaohui?" Bai Yixuan asked.
"Hu Xiaohui is naturally together with Zhu Ningyu. The two of them have never been separated in all these years; their relationship is really good."
"Yang Xuandou?"
"Yang Xuandou is not a very sociable person, so everyone does not care about her, but as time passes by, he got more and more anxious, and in the end, the day finally came!"
Bai Yixuan asked, "What chance?"
Suddenly, an outsider arrived. It was a young lady about the same age as us, and she brought two children with her. The three of them were really very good-looking, especially when one of them looked like a Heavenly Immortal. She didn't seem to know what kind of sacrifice it was, saying that she was the person living in this mountain.
"The others did not say anything, but Chen Shuyuan nodded. Chen Shuyuan woke us up at night and told us about one thing! " He Xiao slightly closed her eyes, "It was Chen Shuyuan who said that we could trick that girl over as a sacrifice!"
Maybe because we didn't want to die, and because we were young, no one objected, we gradually became familiar with the three people, and only then did we find out that the girl's name was Lu Qingxue, and that the two children were both her sisters, because we were both girls, and because Lu Qingxue really didn't have any wariness towards them, we quickly played together, but we took the chance when she wasn't paying attention to beat her up, and threw her out in the wilderness. When we went to watch the next day, she was no longer around, we thought that Chen Shuyuan would stop, but instead, it was the exact same symptoms as the day we were preparing to leave.
"You still haven't found that woman's body?"
"Nope." He Xiao answered with certainty, "Because after Chen Shuyuan died, we wondered if he did not come to take revenge on us. But when we went to Lu Qingxue's little house in the mountain, there was no one there, not even his sisters!"
"All those years ago, did all of you participate in this matter as well?"
"Zhu Ningyu is the person who knocked Lu Qingxue out. None of us objected to that."
Bai Yixuan felt that the situation was really not too good, and now she was sure that this was revenge, but who was it that avenged him back then, why did Zhu Ningyu not die but Hu Xiaohui instead?
Bai Yixuan decided to ask Zhu Ningyu. She was sure that Zhu Ningyu knew some things that they didn't.
Zhang Xian saw that Bai Yixuan's expression was not well, and said, "Let's go back to white girl tomorrow."
Bai Yixuan also felt very tired, so she simply nodded: "Then I'll go back first."
When Bai Yixuan returned home, she only felt that her fatigue was like a tide. Chang Zigeng did not come back, probably because he was sleeping at Qiu Wenwen's place, but Bai Yixuan did not mind, as she laid on the bed and slept, until midnight when Bai Yixuan touched the bed and suddenly found a small money bag that was filled with silver coins. It looked extremely old and worn out, and because Bai Yixuan had forgotten to blow out the candles, she could vaguely see it.
Big Brother Bai didn't sleep when he returned today, so he immediately heard the sound of knocking on the door. It was actually Bai Yixuan, the color of her blood had drained, and his hands and feet were ice-cold. Seeing Bai Yixuan in this state, she panicked and immediately dragged her little sister in to ask, "What's wrong, Xuan Er, are you sick?
Bai Yixuan shook her head, "It's alright, Big brother, I just have a question …"
"What problem? Is it about the guitar? I've already asked a friend of mine. My friend really likes that instrument you drew and even said that it's for free."
Bai Yixuan did not care about this, and continued to ask Big Brother Bai, "Is Chang Zigeng the biological daughter of the Chang Clan?"
Bai Yihui was startled by his question, "What's wrong, yes, anyway, whenever Chang San mentioned his sister, he would immediately smile and say that he doesn't look good, but his sister looks pretty and so on."
"Nothing else?"
"That's not true. I really don't know what happened to Xuan Er. What happened to her? Did she not come back with you today?"
Bai Yixuan shook her head and did not say anything else. His brother did not know whether he had truly thought too much into this or if there was really no connection between the two matters.
