The location of Yanhu Villa is secretive. It is sandwiched between the mountains of Yanluo Mountain and hidden among dense forests. Below it is a small lake with a barrier. Even after being informed by Zhong Shenyan, Wu Sheng and Yong Zhi searched for a long time before they finally found it. Found this place.
If there wasn't a stone stuck in front with the words "Yanhu Villa" written on it, the two of them wouldn't even be sure that it was Yanhu Villa, because the villa didn't look like a villa at all, it was just made up of five or six thatched huts. Broken yard.
The house was in good condition, but the fence was slightly damaged, as if it had been torn apart by wild beasts in the mountains. In the courtyard, the roof was overgrown with weeds, and there were cobwebs under the wooden eaves. It looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time, indicating that the owner was away.
"It seems that this Ge Qilang hasn't been back for a long time?" Yongzhi pushed aside a few thin vines hanging from the roof and pushed the door open. A musty smell came out from the creaking sound of the door opening.
"Maybe they moved?" Wu Sheng was not sure: "Let's start and find out why Ge Qilang invited Chen Zhen here."
After entering the house, Yong lit a foot-high fire with his fingertips, burned the cobwebs inside, and looked around with Wu Sheng. The furnishings in the house were all available, and there were no traces of any movement. The bamboo on the wooden bed was The mats, bamboo pillows were all there, the clothes in the closet were piled in and not taken away, and even the bowls, chopsticks, and cups were left on the table without being taken away. It was obvious that Goshichiro was eating when he left, and had not even finished the meal.
Everything was covered with a uniform layer of thick dust.
After going out, he went to another wooden house, which should be Ge Qilang's training place. There are more than a dozen pill bottles displayed on the wooden shelves on the wall, and some of them also store Wushen pills, rhubarb pills and other ordinary things. .
In addition to the elixir, there are also several cloth bags hanging on the wall. The cloth bags are filled with magic weapons, basically low-grade magic weapons. It is obvious that Ge Qilang's cultivation career is not outstanding, and he belongs to the lowest level of wild cultivators. .
In addition to the elixir and magic weapon, the things hanging on the other side of the wall are a bit eye-catching. Although they have been covered with dust and changed their original color, you can still recognize what they are at a glance: bellyband, obscene pants, sweat. Scarves, silk handkerchiefs, etc., are all women's things.
"Is this Ge Qilang a woman? She won't just let Chen Zhen come over. Then the two hundred miles of traveling will be in vain," Yong Zhi murmured.
Wu Sheng sneered: "What kind of girl? Are there any girls named Qilang? They use silk handkerchiefs to write letters to people? This is called collecting, do you understand?"
Yong Zhi took off a piece of silk handkerchief from the wall, dried the dust, rubbed it carefully and looked at it: "They are not all collections. There is also an embroidered word on it, Ge."
Wu Sheng took it and took a look at it and said, "This is just like collecting calligraphy and painting with one's name stamped on it. It's not unusual."
There was also a pile of scattered wooden slips on the table. After identifying the handwriting, it turned out that it was the same as the handwriting on Chen Zhen's silk handkerchief.
After reading it, Wu Sheng looked a little unhappy, and Yong asked directly: "What's wrong?"
Wu Sheng said: "This Ge Qilang is probably the one who asked Chen Zhen to come here."
"Which one?"
"Aren't you asking knowingly?"
"I guessed it! Doctor, this Ge Qilang is a woman!"
"No, he is just a man!"
"Why is that man wearing a silk handkerchief? Ugh."
"Don't vomit. Let's see if there are any other clues. You and I have traveled two hundred miles overnight, but we can't just come here to catch a rapist. What we catch is the rapist of a dead person."
"What does the doctor want to find out when searching for the reason?"
"Do you still remember when I was studying elixir in Yingdu Danzong?"
"Remember, the doctor broke through the realm after completing his studies. Does it have anything to do with breaking through the realm?"
Wu Sheng praised: "Who said that Mr. Zhi is an upright young man? He is still very thoughtful."
Yongzhi was speechless: "My name is Zhi, but that doesn't mean I'm heartless, right? Who said this? Please let the doctor know."
Wu Sheng waved his hand: "Rumors are just rumors. Don't pursue them anymore. I was at the east entrance of Jishan Mountain at the time."
Yong Zhi asked: "Please tell the doctor, I want to discuss it with him!"
Wu Sheng sulked: "Zhidao Lang, I found that you have changed! Why are you like this now?"
Yong Zhi kowtowed and said, "Doctor, Zhi has not changed. He has always been loyal to Doctor!"
Wu Sheng said: "Can you please stop backing me casually in the future? It makes my lungs hurt!"
Yongzhi nodded: "I understand, doctor, go on, what happened to the east entrance of Jishan Mountain?"
Wu Sheng said: "At that time, I discovered that there were heavenly script characters on the cliff at the east entrance of Jishan Mountain. When the fox demon appeared this time, Xue Zhong also said that he was watching the cliff at the east entrance of Jishan Mountain. Ordinary people don't know what heavenly script characters are. Fox Demon
Since the demon understands, it explains a lot of problems. These problems are what I want to understand, and they are related to the great road, Naodaro!"
Yongzhi was confused when he heard this, but he didn't know how to ask, so he could only say: "The writing in the heavenly book? It seems to be strictly prohibited by the academy?"
There are very few people in the world who know the words in the Heavenly Book. It is not easy for a grassroots like Yongzhi to know these four words and know that they are strictly forbidden by the academy, but that's all.
Wu Sheng immediately told him what heavenly writing was, and then used his true energy to draw a cloud pattern on the table, which was the first cloud pattern he mastered that year. Of course, what passes through the third line outside the straight line
There is no need to tell Yongzhi about such a great way. Numerous facts have proven that everyone has a different understanding of the cloud pattern after visualizing it. Telling it yourself is just making mediocre people more troubled.
"Okay, don't delve into it. You can go back and figure it out after you remember it. For now, let's continue looking."
As he was speaking, Yong Zhi kowtowed again, this time more solemnly than before: "Zhi, kowtow to thank the doctor for teaching me the Tao!"
Wu Sheng was stunned: "What? Do you understand?"
Yongzhi nodded with a far-reaching gaze: "Besides this sword, no matter how many shadows of the sword are reflected, they are just phantoms. They are just for one sword and the yin and yang of this sword!"
Wu Sheng suddenly lost consciousness and blinked: "Okay, Naoda Lang, so fast."
Yongzhi said: "Thank you very much, doctor, for your compliment. Do you have any more?"
Wu Sheng said: "You can't bite off more than you can chew. You should read more about the text in this heavenly book and understand it thoroughly before talking about it. Let's continue and see if there are any clues in other houses."
The two of them searched in other houses, then in the yard, and then in the surrounding area.
They soon found a series of footprints. Even after the wind and rain, and under the cover of the dense trees above, the footprints could still be identified. This also showed that if the footprints belonged to Goshichiro, then there were not many of him since he left here.
A month, maybe only half a month, or even less than that.
I followed the footprints and stopped about ten feet away from the yard.
In front of me is a big tree with a dark palm print on the trunk.
That's the bloody mark that turns black after it dries.
Looking at this palm print, both Wu Sheng and Yong Zhi were speechless.
Like Chen Zhen, if there were no accidents, this Ge Qilang was also killed by the fox demon.
