Chapter 37 "Jiang Qiao, wake up!" (2099 words)
  The bones were hung in various places in the cave, and they were so white that they looked greasy.

Most of them are skeletons. Judging from the size and shape of the skeletons, they should be the bones of spiritual beasts, a vast white mass.

If Jiang Qiao usually lived in such a cave, he would easily feel unhappy when seeing these gloomy bones.

He and Chen Bai didn't exchange a few words, and they didn't even understand each other.

At first, he didn't think so much about coming to Chen Bai's cave. After reading Li Wentian's diary, he felt that things were not simple.

The four treasures of the study are placed on Chen Bai's desk. The ink sticks have a mellow smell. The brushes have dried completely and are glued together by the ink. They have been separated from the original upside-down water drop shape.

It seems that I went out in a hurry and didn't have time to clean the ink on the brush.

Staring carefully at the writing on the rice paper on the desk, Jiang Qiao frowned slightly. The reason was simply that Chen Bai's handwriting was too sloppy, freehand but not formal.

It took Jiang Qiao some time to see what he wrote: Successful transaction today, purchase again the next day.

If you had to say that Chen Bai was painting Jiang Qiao when he wrote this word, you would believe it. It is almost the same as the handwriting he used when he went to the hospital to see a doctor in his previous life.

After rummaging through the cave for a long time, I found an account book that recorded some animal bone transactions.

Sometimes, people will place their favorites in various corners of the room as a display.

It seems that Chen Bai is an animal bone collector and an animal bone dealer. He first collects the dead bodies of spiritual animals, then polishes them through special processing, and finally oils them so that the animal bones will not be damaged for a long time. This does not require Spend extra spiritual energy to maintain the shape of the animal bones.

This current account book was found in a relatively hidden box under the bed. At first, Chen Bai seemed to have placed a ban on it. Unfortunately, after his death, the ban could be easily broken, so there was nothing to fear.

Jiang Qiao browsed for a long time. At first, he was a little tired because he didn't find anything extraordinary.

Eventually, the record of animal bones ended. When I read further, it was all blank.

Jiang Qiao clearly felt that something seemed to be recorded on the back of the account book.

If it is a new book, the paper will be flat as a whole, but in this account book, there are a few pages at the back that are slightly curled.

So, I turned from back to front, and what I found on the last page surprised me.

Human bone trade...

Jiang Qiao suddenly heard ringing in his ears and gradually began to be out of breath. Whether it was difficulty breathing or even his throat hurt slightly.

He immediately drank the elixir for treating asthma, which gave him some relief.

The hands holding the account books were trembling. Could it be that in addition to collecting animal bones, some people also want to collect human bones...

Secondary processing, polishing, and then, selling.

Who needs these things and why...

If Jiang Qiao did not come to Chen Bai's cave today, these account books would soon be discovered by the sect.

So, how will the sect deal with it after it is discovered? Should it be treated as if it does not exist?

Will reporting it to the sect leader have any effect? Or do nothing... Anyway, this place will be cleared out soon, and the situation within the sect should not be unclear.

According to the records in the account book, the human bones were traded in the black market. Many people bought them in the black market, and many of them were sold one after another.

As for where the human bones were purchased from, Chen Bai did not record them in too much detail, but simply wrote down the word "禾".

millet?
  The last time Jiang Qiao saw the word "Wo", it was in the word "Mu".

So He probably refers to Mu?

Mu Mansion...

Jiang Qiao suddenly felt dizzy and walked to a coffin in the cave. It looked like he was about to be buried.

Opening the coffin, there was a human skeleton inside with a letter inside. Jiang Qiao closed his eyes, chanted the death mantra gently, expressed his apology to the deceased, and then opened the envelope to check the details.

According to the content of the letter, this skeleton is the remains of Chen Bai's younger brother. The text describes a large part of the grief, the joy of being able to find and bury his younger brother, and the pain of not being able to avenge his younger brother.

And, those who are deeply involved in this transaction are unable to extricate themselves.

Jiang Qiao closed the letter and had a rough guess about what happened:

When Chen Bai learned that his younger brother was dead, he tried his best to join the human bone trade just to find and bury his younger brother's remains. Later, he also successfully found his younger brother's remains. However, Chen Bai seemed to be threatened by someone. , so even if the purpose of finding his brother is achieved, he cannot escape.

Jiang Qiao remembered what Mu Qinggan said before he died: "There are some places in Mu's mansion that you can't find and can't enter. What I want is their skins. What my father wants is their flesh and blood..." "

Skin, flesh and blood, the rest is the skeleton.

It seems to form a very perfect closed loop of utilization.

Jiang Qiao felt his stomach juices rising and patted his shoulder with his hand, finally calming down.

If possible, he would go to the black market again. It seemed that these transactions had some connection with the Demon Sect.

However, maybe not now. If he enters the black market now, he will undoubtedly seek skin from a tiger.

What exactly is the three million spirit stone business that makes Li Wentian so obsessed with it? Is it also related to this human bone? I can't figure it out.

The problem is, Jiang Qiao may not be able to sleep tonight.

……

When he woke up the next day, Jiang Qiao and Mu Chenyuan went to Zhaixingya to give lectures. Theoretically, as long as Mu Chenyuan appears in the same scene as him, Jiang Qiao will be much safer.

Therefore, Jiang Qiao basically stayed with Mu Chenyuan except for going to the toilet and other special operations.

The current 50% risk avoidance rate does not mean that there will be no danger. But it was better to follow Mu Chenyuan closely. During the lecture class, the two of them sat on the same long table.

It is already winter, and the sect has already been covered with snow, and the eaves and steps are covered with thick velvet.

When Jiang Qiao goes out, he puts on a heavy shawl and wears summer sect uniforms underneath. The main purpose is convenience.

There is a warm current of spiritual power inside the lecture hall, and the disciples feel warm as soon as they enter the room.

So as soon as you enter the room, just take off your shawl.

The summer sect uniform is just right for wearing in the lecture hall.

It's just that Jiang Qiao was thinking about things all night yesterday and couldn't fall asleep. Now he would have a lecture soon. He decided to hold on and listen for a while. He really couldn't control his sleepiness, so he could just sleep for a while.

Jiang Qiao and Mu Chenyuan arrived early.

Before it was time for lectures, Jiang Qiao lay down on the table and closed his eyes to relax.

Yesterday, I searched the cave and found some information about the Demon Sect, and it could make money. The weapons of the three people in the cave were kept if they could be used, and sold off if they were unusable. By doing this, Jiang Qiao could exchange for a lot of spiritual stones.

However, when Elder Jinshi came to the lecture hall, Jiang Qiao was still asleep.

If he were in the back row, Jiang Qiao wouldn't be so conspicuous, but sleeping in the front row would be more or less embarrassing.

Mu Chenyuan noticed the elder's burning gaze towards Jiang Qiao and immediately poked Jiang Qiao.

"Jiang Qiao, wake up quickly!"
