Then he added, "This place has gone underground. Don't tell me, there isn't even a window to the outside."

Yu Qing didn't know whether what he said was true or false, and there was no need to question the other party. He directly took out a stick of incense from his sleeve, lit it in front of everyone, and observed the changes in the rising smoke.

Almost no one understood what this meant. Wu Heyun said suspiciously: "Brother Lin, what are you doing?"

Nanzhu explained at the side: "As long as you have incense on hand, light one at the place where the person died to seek peace of mind. This is his habit and his heart is kind."

What if he didn't say so? He couldn't say that Old Fifteen would ask gods for directions, right? He and Mu Aotie knew at a glance that Old Fifteen was using this to find out whether there was a secret passage or something like that. They were afraid of saying it.

This adds to the misunderstanding and people may not believe it.

After observing silently for a while, Yu Qing walked into a warehouse again and stared at the smoke rising in his hands for a while.

After coming out of the warehouse, he walked into another warehouse.

In this way, I re-entered several warehouses here and found nothing unusual.

Based on his interpretation of Guanzi Jue, in this case, either there really is no secret passage, or the secret passage is blocked so tightly that the air cannot circulate.

He just gave it a try, but couldn't find anything. He casually inserted the incense into a crack in the wall left by the fight. He turned around and asked: "When the incident happened, except for the two of us, none of the three groups left.

Pass?"

Wu Heyun gestured towards Nanzhu and Qiao Qier, "Including the two of them, they all came to join in the fun when they heard the fighting. Everyone is here except you two."

Yu Qing looked with questioning eyes. Nan Zhu and Qiao Qier both nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Have monsters killed people here in succession before? Just like now, they killed the boy yesterday and seven guards today."

Wu Heyun thought for a while, nodded and said: "Similar things have happened before, but very few."

Yu Qing asked again: "If that's the case, and the circumstances of the deceased's death are exactly the same as those committed by monsters, then why do you still suspect that it was us foreign guests who did it?"

Wu Heyun hurriedly raised his hand to persuade: "Brother Lin, don't get me wrong. Because we didn't see the murderer and because the murderer disappeared mysteriously, it's normal for us to be suspicious of everyone. At present, we are even checking our own insiders, and we have not ruled out that the murderer is not the murderer."

monster."

After people explained it like this, Yu Qing couldn't question it any more, and he didn't see anything special about this place, so he had to go back.

After walking together for a few steps, Wu Heyun said again: "We are all guests. Brother Lin doesn't need to take it to heart about their doubts about Brother Lin. At least I don't believe that Brother Lin would do such a thing. But.

Then again, those few people are not good friends. In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I suggest that Brother Lin might as well avoid them for the time being."

Yu Qing stopped, "What do you mean? Are you asking us to leave?"

Wu Heyun pressed his hands and persuaded: "No, Rift Valley Villa has no intention of chasing away guests. Besides, Brother Lin came here with good intentions, so it is even less likely that Villa will do such a ruthless thing. However, both sides are guests, so Wan

There is really no need for any conflict once it occurs, so you might as well avoid it for now and come back another day."

Yu Qing waved his hand, "Three village masters, that's different. I won't be able to explain it clearly once I leave. We can't leave until the matter comes to light."

Nanzhu on the side nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, if you leave, you are a guilty thief!"

Wu Heyun hesitated to speak, and there was even a flash of impatience in his eyes, but he finally held back, stopped talking nonsense, and extended his hand to ask them to go back and rest...

The four of them arrived at the residence and went back to their rooms in twos and twos. Once inside, Nanzhu pulled Mu Aotie on horseback and asked about the situation when he and Lao Shiwu went out to investigate. Mu Aotie naturally informed the situation quietly.

Nanzhu was frightened when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was a terrifying old monster hiding in Rift Valley Villa.

In another room, Qiao Qier had the same question.

Yu Qing thought for a moment and replied: "I found it. It confirms that Rift Valley Villa does indeed have the 'halberd' in its hand."

He didn't want to say much, mainly because he was afraid of making her worry, so he immediately put his hands on her shoulders and persuaded her, "Ji'er, you go first, leave here first, and it won't be too late to meet again when things are over here."

"

Qiao Qier stared at him quietly for a while, then shook her head, "Wherever you are, I will be there. We won't separate. If anything happens, let me die together with you."

Yu Qing was so moved that his heart surged, and he couldn't help but hug her.

When he met such a woman who was willing to live and die with him, he felt a sense of satisfaction that there was nothing more a husband could ask for...

In the stone room where a statue of an old man was enshrined, the third owner of the village hurriedly arrived and met the first owner and the second owner again.

The oil lamps all around were bright, and the owner of the village, Wu Dao, stood with his hands behind his back, facing the statue.

"Did Lin Erqing see any tricks in the past?"

Wu Xieshan, the second owner of the village, asked Wu Heyun.

Wu Heyun shook his head, "We turned over and over again and couldn't find any clues, so what can he see?"

Wu Dao, who had his back turned, said, "I don't know where the two of them were at that time. Could it be the two of them?"

Wu Heyun: "Not sure. In short, the murderer cannot disappear out of thin air, unless there is real invisibility technology in this world. The reason why the murderer is not seen is just a possibility. Before our men arrived, he had already run away."

Wu Xieshan Nianxu muttered: "This is impossible. When we heard the sound of fighting, our people rushed over. When the sound of fighting was heard for the second time, the following people had already blocked the only way out on the way.

It's impossible not to see a large number of people coming in and out. Could it be that our own people did it? Our own people can't escape the scene."

The owner of the big village, Wu Dao, said calmly: "There are more appropriate ways for insiders to do this. They will not make such a big fuss, and there is no reason to do this. Our own people with such strength know what is put there, and there is no reason to do so."

You have to go there to kill people."

Wu Heyun shook his head in confusion, "This is really strange and unbelievable."

Wu Dao stared at the statue and said: "We all know in our hearts that this was not done by some monster. If something happens sooner or later, something will happen to those ten people. No need to guess, the murderer is among those ten people. Although

I don’t know what method they used to do it.”

Wu Heyun crossed his arms and touched his chin with one hand: "We have counted the things in the warehouse, and nothing is missing. Why are they making such a fuss?"

The golden hoop on Wu Dao's head shone under the light, "He came here to take advantage and let us suffer a little loss. It doesn't matter. Just provide him with good food and drink, and keep him company with a good face. That's what I'm most worried about."

Why did you come?"

Wu Xieshan, Wu and Yun were all shocked. The former said in a deep voice, "Do you suspect that they are here for the secret?"

Wu Dao: "This is exactly what I'm afraid of."

Wu Heyun: "This is unlikely. No one has come to ask for thousands of years. Why does it suddenly appear now?"

Wu Dao: "It's been thousands of years. That's because we strictly guard against leaking it. If we don't leak it here, it doesn't mean that it hasn't been leaked elsewhere."

Wu Heyun said in surprise: "Are you suspecting that Da Heizi leaked the news?"

Wu Dao: "That's not the case. We are afraid of people snatching this secret, and we don't want anyone to get in. We fight back and forth, and no one dares to let outsiders know the slightest bit, and we dare not use the slightest external force. In each other's hearts,

It is very clear that once external forces are involved, our fate will be tragic. In fact, before these people came, I had already started to worry in the past two years."

Did they have a premonition in the past two years? Wu Xieshan and Wu Heyun looked at each other with surprise on their faces. The latter asked: "How do you say this?"

Wu Dao: "It's not like you don't know about the news about Xiaoyunjian. Who can guarantee that Xiaoyunjian doesn't have any clues about coming here?"

Er Wu's expression suddenly became serious. Wu Xieshan tugged on his beard and said: "If those major forces really know the clues and find the clues, no matter which one can easily destroy us, can they be so sneaky?"

Wu Dao: "That's how I comfort myself. Also, Xiao Yunjian has already opened it three times. How could those major forces hold back the news and wait until now to take action? Is it the third time that the clues were discovered? Even if it was

In this way, with their strength, they will not go around slowly like this, and will control this place as soon as possible. After tonight's incident, I thought about it for a long time, I just hope that I am worrying too much, otherwise, this obstacle,

I’m afraid we won’t be able to make it through.”

Er Wu understood what he meant. None of the major forces could be blocked by them. Once they were approached, it would be difficult to explain some things honestly. This was why they strictly kept secrets.

Wu Heyun was silent for a while and suddenly said: "Maybe we are really overthinking. Looking at the circumstances of the murderer's crime, could it be that he wanted to steal something from the warehouse for fear of being discovered, so he framed the blame on the monster? If those people really knew

If it comes from something, then you don’t have to do this, right?”

Wu Dao nodded slightly, "That makes sense, I hope so."

Wu Xieshan: "Things are like this. If they don't leave for a day, we won't feel at ease for a day. Why don't we persuade Lin Erqing, just because we are afraid of other people misunderstanding, and persuade them to leave. Once they leave, we have lost the most likely murderer."

, the others will have no excuse to stay.”

Wu Heyun chuckled, "Don't you think I didn't persuade him? If he doesn't leave, he said, if he doesn't take the blame, he must get to the bottom of it."

Wu Dao slowly turned around and said, "Stop arguing with them. The old rules are to settle the matter and give them an explanation."

Er Wu nodded silently.

At this moment, a bell hanging in the house rang.

Wu Heyun walked to the stone pillar and pulled the rope in response.

After a while, Wu An arrived quickly and saluted the three of them, "Master of the village."

Wu Heyun: "How is the search for those two people going?"

During the day, after it was discovered that Yu Qing and Mu Aotie disappeared through the grape fields, although Nanzhu explained that they were looking for traces of monsters, they still followed them. Wu An personally led a group of people to search.

Wu An shook his head: "The situation is not good. I lost track. I tried to find the entrance to the underground water vein but couldn't find it. Third Village Master, you know that the underground water vein is too long. Once we sneak in, based on our cultivation, we can't find it."

It was difficult to keep searching without taking a breather. Then I had no choice but to stay on the only way back in the culvert. We didn't find them coming back. They must have come back from the surface and did not go underground."

Wu Heyun said in a deep voice: "Didn't I send you the 'Wine Fox' who was carefully trained by the villa? Those two guys drank our wine, and their bodies will emit a special smell for three days. It is impossible for the 'Wine Fox' not to smell it.

, Unless they are dead, how can they be lost?"

Wu An immediately defended: "Third owner of the village, I was just about to say this. The sense of smell of the 'Wine Fox' seems to have failed. Regarding the tracking of the two people, the 'Wine Fox' did not play any role from beginning to end.

It's as if those two guys didn't emit any unusual smell." As he spoke, he took off a cloth bag from his waist and held it up with both hands.

Wu Heyun immediately took the bag and opened it, revealing a small animal with dark fur curled up into a ball. It seemed to be sleeping soundly. When it was curled up, it was only as big as three fists. Wu Heyun, who frowned, woke it up and grabbed it.
