At night, pay attention to the brightly lit lights on the mountain. It has not been this lively here for many years. The disciples are manipulating puppets and preparing for the dinner in full swing. It is very lively.

Although there are few people in Lost Heart Valley, if you include the machine puppets, the number of people is large, and there is an illusion that there is a huge crowd.

The dinner party was accompanied by a lot of puppets. In fact, it looked a bit scary, but Xiu Chen was not afraid. The puppets were all dead objects controlled by people, but some of them looked too much like people.

At the dinner, Xiu Chen sat at a table with the Valley Master and the elders. Their table looked the most normal because there were eight people here and there were no puppets. The Valley Master and the elder sat on either side of Xiuchen and toasted him.

.

The owner of the valley said: "Messenger, please drink this cup to the full. This is the fine wine of my Lost Heart Valley, unique in the world. Please try it, my envoy."

Xiu Chen took the wine glass. The wine in the glass gave off a faint fragrance. Just by smelling it, you could tell it must be good wine.

"Okay, I'd rather be respectful than obey."

Picking up the wine glass and drinking it all in one gulp, Xiu Chen smacked his lips and said, "Okay, good wine. It has a rich aroma, a refreshing taste, and a long aftertaste. It is indeed a good wine."

The great elder on the side asked: "How does the wine from our Lost Heart Valley compare to the wine from the outside world?"

Xiu Chen thought for a while and said: "Everyone has his own merits. There are many different kinds of good wine in the outside world. If I have a chance to come back next time, Xiu Chen will definitely bring some for you."

The great elder laughed loudly and said: "Okay, thank you very much, envoy. We will wait for the envoy to come again with great expectation."

Everyone drank and ate together, chatting and having a great time. This dinner was really a Lost Heart Valley-style dinner. Except for their table, there were puppets serving the master at other tables, pouring wine for the master, picking up food, and even

They were playing around and having a great time. This scene was also wonderful.

Xiu Chen talked a lot with the Valley Master and the elders about the outside world, and some things about the major sects. However, Xiu Chen only talked briefly and didn't say much. The elders seemed to be very interested in the outside world.

, but when Xiuchen invited them to go out and have a look, they all refused.

If they go out to this forgotten land, they probably won't be able to come back.

After finishing the first pot of wine, the great elder quickly brought Xiuchen a second pot of wine and filled it up. Xiuchen only took a sip of this pot of wine before he noticed something was wrong, but he remained calm.

He drank all the wine and continued eating and chatting as if nothing happened.

But suddenly, Xiuchen covered his head with his hands.

"Master Qi Valley, the wine from your Lost Heart Valley is so strong. I seem to be a little drunk."

Qi Xinglou laughed out loud when he saw Xiuchen covering his head and shaking.

"Messenger, you seem to be a bad drinker."

Xiuchen held out a hand, waved it, and said, "No, it can't be done. It seems like I'm really drunk."

After saying that, Xiuchen made a sound and fell drunk on the table, as if he had fallen asleep.

This scene even made everyone laugh, pointing at Xiuchen and not knowing what to say, but soon they couldn't stop laughing anymore.

Because there was blood flowing from the corner of Xiuchen's mouth.

"Messenger! Messenger, what's wrong with you!"

Xiuchen's face happened to be facing the elder, so the elder was the first to see the blood flowing from Xiuchen's mouth. He tried to push Xiuchen twice, but Xiuchen had no reaction at all.

The great elder put away his hand in panic and said in horror: "Dead!?"

These two words were like a bolt from the blue, frightening the Valley Master and the elders to their feet. Naturally, their movements were seen by the disciples, and the banquet that had been lively just now suddenly became silent.

Qi Xinglou turned Xiuchen's body over in shock and checked, and found that Xiuchen was indeed dead!

"messenger!"

Qi Xinglou shouted in panic, his pupils were trembling like an earthquake, and his tone was full of panic. This was the envoy of Dao Zong. Such a distinguished guest died here like this? This made them disappointed.

How did Gu explain to Daozong!

Even if the two countries are at war and they don't kill the envoys, Shixingu and Daozong are still their own people. How can Daozong just let it go this time?

Qi Xinglou roared: "Who did it!"

The banquet suddenly became silent, and no disciple dared to breathe. Only the second elder murmured:

"It's over, it's over, the envoy is dead, then if we refuse the request to join the world, how can Daozong still listen?"

Qi Xinglou shouted: "When did this happen! You still think about this? Find out quickly! Who poisoned the envoy? We must catch him and give an explanation to Daozong and the envoy!"

Qi Xinglou looked at the leftovers on the table and saw that Xiuchen vomited blood and died. He must have been poisoned, so the poisonous thing must be on the table.

However, Xiu Chen knew that they could no longer find where the poison was placed, because everyone had already drank up the highly poisonous wine just now.

However, Xiu Chen was curious as to why none of the people in Lost Heart Valley were poisoned? It was obvious that everyone was drunk, but why could the person who poisoned only poison him to death?

…

A good banquet broke up like this. No, it can't be said to be a breakup, because it couldn't break up at all. The person who had the opportunity to poison Xiuchen must be hiding in this banquet, so from the cook to these disciples

, no one could leave, Qi Xinglou detained everyone.

He will not give up until the murderer is found!

Of course, although the investigation of the case was urgent, Xiuchen's "body" could not be left here in plain sight. Qi Xinglou ordered people to use the best materials to build a coffin overnight, and put it there the next day.

Xiuchen was buried in a grand funeral somewhere at the foot of the mountain.

I have to say that this Lost Heart Valley has really been quiet and peaceful for too long. These Yanshi guys don't even know how to investigate cases. According to the normal process, if someone dies, do you want to do an autopsy first? Should you do it first?

He does an autopsy?

Xiuchen was already prepared, and all the internal organs in his body had been transformed. As a result, the people in Lost Heart Valley were so good that they buried him in tears and chose a geomantic treasure land to make it more beautiful.

burial.

This is to show respect.

Xiuchen was speechless, why do they care about this?

After being buried, Xiu Chen escaped using escape methods. The fact that he was poisoned must not be simple. First of all, if someone wants to kill him, what is his purpose? Xiu Chen has already said that he will not force it.

Since they have joined the world, they should have no reason to harm themselves.

The peace and tranquility of Lost Heart Valley may have become an illusion, and a real crisis is brewing.

Xiu Chen hid his figure and lurked here. He wanted to see who was trying to cause trouble. This Qi Xinglou didn't know how to investigate the case, so of course Xiu Chen wanted to help him.
