The cave was a little messy, and the oil lamp fell on the ground. Chen Ziang raised a torch to illuminate the grotto and searched carefully. This grotto was different from the caves where other craftsmen lived. There was originally a Buddha statue in the innermost part, but it was smashed. There was a dark hole on the stone wall.

The niche was hidden behind the Buddha statue and sealed with grass and mud. The mud wall was also opened to reveal a hidden niche.

He called Zhou Mei'er softly and said, "Come and take a look here." Zhou Mei'er got into the grotto and saw that the stone wall of the innermost niche was painted messily.

Chen Zi'ang said: "Look carefully -" Zhou Mei'er looked carefully and saw that the stone wall had been scratched with a sharp weapon. There were several lines of writing on it, but they were no longer clear after being scratched with a sharp weapon.

"Do you recognize these characters? They seem to be Su Tewen." Chen Ziang asked. Zhou Meier looked at it for a long time. The remaining characters were like pictures. They were obviously not Chinese characters, but they were characters she was familiar with. They should have been carved many years ago.

Several of the characters could still be seen clearly. After careful consideration, she said: "This is the Suter script! It is the script of the barbarians in the Western Regions. I studied it in Qiuci before."

Chen Ziang's eyes lit up and he said, "I guess the second master came here because of the characters in the grotto. Because he couldn't read these Western characters, he captured the Hu girl and came here to interpret them." Zhou Meier nodded.

"Look carefully and see if you can read something." Chen Ziang brought the torch close to the stone wall. Zhou Meier pointed at the stone wall and said: "This word... means Yinshan. This word means... treasure,

Yes, it’s treasure.”

Chen Ziang frowned and murmured: "Yinshan, treasure, Yinshan, treasure." Zhou Mei'er looked at the words again, and they were so damaged that the original text could not be read. After reading for a while, she shook her head and said, "There is another one here.

The word probably means castle. I can’t see the other words clearly.”

"Castle? Where's the castle?" Chen Zi'ang asked. Zhou Mei'er pointed to the words on the stone wall and hesitated: "Look at the word "castle" carved very close to the word "Yinshan". Could it be a certain castle on Yinshan Mountain?

Castle?" Chen Ziang nodded and said "Oh?".

The two searched the grotto again, but found nothing new, so they got out of the grotto. In the dark night, Mrs. Wang held a torch and was still inspecting other caves one by one.

Zhou Meier called Mrs. Wang over and said, "There is no need to look any further. That Hu girl is probably the missing woman, and the murderer may be the one who escaped just now. We will move the girl back and give it to Hu Jia for identification."

At this time, the sky in the east turned white. The three of them carried out Hu Nu's body, and Mrs. Wang called a carriage to transport Hu Nu back. When Zhou Meier lifted Hu Nu, he opened her back and saw a red palm print.

Chen Ziang said with a heavy heart: "This is the cinnabar palm of Shaolin Temple. The murderers who killed the disciples of the Iron Foot Sect and this woman were all from the second master's family."

***

The three of them returned to the city, and Hu Jia proved that this woman was exactly the person he had brought so hard from the Western Regions. Hu Jia was dejected after Hu's death and all his wealth. However, he still gave Mrs. Wang a small jar of wine as reward.

, I am extremely grateful to Mrs. Wang.

Chen Ziang and the other two said goodbye to Mrs. Wang, and Zhou Meier returned to the inn and packed her bags. Chen Ziang said: "The second owner got the information he wanted, and I'm afraid he has already left Guazhou." Zhou Meier asked: "Where will he go?"

Chen Ziang said: "He is most likely going to two places. One is a castle in the Yinshan Mountains, and the other is going to Luoyang." Zhou Meier asked puzzledly: "Luoyang? Why did the elder brother guess that he might go to Luoyang?"

"He asked Wang Yangzong and Wanyan Huaren to rush back to Luoyang, saying they had some mission. Naturally, he might rush back to monitor or help in secret," Chen Ziang said. Zhou Meier nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother, where are we going?"

"I don't know where to go at the moment. Let's go to Chang'an first, and then make plans when we get to Chang'an." Chen Zi'ang said. Guazhou can reach Chang'an hundreds of miles east. From Chang'an, go north to Yinshan, and continue walking eastward.

Return to Luoyang.

When it came to going to Chang'an, Zhou Meier clapped her hands and said, "I've wanted to visit Chang'an for a long time! It's a very big city." Chen Zi'ang couldn't help but be a little excited. This world-famous city has attracted so many people.
