Ning Xiangruo was strolling along the less crowded path under the moonlight while deducing which direction Yang Jiu would take. It was unlikely to go to the east. There were ordinary people living there. To the south was Dongting Lake. There was a road to the southwest.
, there is also a road to the west.
There is a mountain to the west of Yueyang Tower, which is the remnant of Qixing Mountain Range.
Ning Xiangruo has explored this road no less than ten times in the past month. Earlier, Ouyang Caiyu and Cangyun disciples who arrived early also repeatedly traced this road, but there was indeed no sign.
At this time, Ning Xiangruo seemed to have discovered a problem. The last few times he walked this road, there were still many woodcutter hunters coming from the west mountain even after dark. But this time, after walking for a long time, it seemed that he was alone.
Haven't encountered either.
There's something strange about her.
When we returned to the vicinity of Yueyang Tower, there happened to be two fishermen who had just returned from fishing in Dongting Lake. It seemed that they had a good harvest. The two honest fishermen were talking and laughing.
Ning Xiangruo stepped forward and said, "Two boatmen, let me ask. I remember that there were people on this road to the west at night. Why are there no people tonight?" Ning Xiangruo was extremely beautiful, and the two fishermen
Thinking that she was going to take the night road, one person said: "Girl, aren't you a local? If you want to take the night road, you can't do it tonight. Today is the 14th. The Liu family's body chasers will take that road to drive some corpses back."
Liujiazhai in the south, on the night of the 14th of every month
No one takes the west path."
Ning Xiangruo thought for a while and suddenly caught some clues. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the night Yang Shijiu disappeared was exactly the 14th two months ago.
She asked again: "The Liu family is driving away the corpses? The Liu family is in the south of Junshan, and the small road goes into the mountains to the west. How could they take that road to drive away the corpses? Isn't there a road going south that leads directly to the Liu family village?"
"Is that so?" Another fisherman said with a smile: "People have their own way, and corpses have their own way. This official road is for people to walk, so naturally corpses cannot be taken. What's more, it's scary to drive away corpses. Some corpses are rotten.
Driving corpses on official roads would frighten people to death, so corpse chasers never use official roads, but focus on deserted mountains.
Take the trail in Yeling. Although the trail to the west leads into the mountains to the west, if you go about four or five miles further, there will be an inconspicuous trail leading to the Liu Family Village in the south of Junshan Mountain."
Ning Xiangruo frowned slightly. Yang Jiujiu probably took this path and encountered something unexpected.
Does this matter have anything to do with the exorcism of corpses in western Hunan?
Months ago, Master Zui had already been to the Liu Family Village. Not only that, other corpse exorcism families had also been tracked down by the Cangyun Sect, but nothing was found to be wrong. You must know that this time it was not just a young disciple of the Cangyun Sect who was missing.
So simple, this matter involves a lot, and may even be related to the poisoning of the elders of the Cangyun Sect. Even if the four major corpse exorcism families in western Hunan are not easy to deal with, the Cangyun Sect will never be lenient in the face of this kind of thing. If the investigation
The poisoning incident of Elder Ming is related to the Xiangxi corpse exorcism family. The angry blow from the Cangyun Sect will most likely wipe out the Xiangxi corpse exorcists completely from the world.
There are no clues or clues at the moment, and it is difficult to deduce that Yang Jiu's disappearance is most likely related to the Liu family. Even if Cangyun Sect has checked this line before, Ning Xiangruo will never give up easily.
The teacher's kindness is deep, and such deep hatred can only be washed away with blood.
Nowadays, there are many Cangyun Sect disciples in Xiangxi, Ganzhou, Hanyang and other places. In addition to Ning Xiangruo, Gu Jianchi, Sun Yao, Du Chun, Qi Feiyuan, Zhu Changshui and others also spent a lot of time in this area.
Ning Xiangruo secretly went to the Liu family village south of Junshan and sent a letter from Feihe to Du Chun.
It was already the second watch. In an inn in a small town hundreds of miles away from Yueyang City, Du Chun had just finished a day's investigation and returned to the inn a little tired. A dozen young disciples from Zhengyang Peak had also arrived one after another.
We came back and were having dinner in the front hall of the small inn.
Seeing Du Chun come back, Li Wenwen said: "Senior sister, you must be tired too. Hurry up and eat something. We will continue to search tomorrow morning." Fortunately, he was discovered in time this time, otherwise Li Feiyu might have been punished by three points.
The death of three people caused the entire Zhengyang Peak to be filled with indignation. A total of more than thirty young disciples were sent down the mountain. None of them were fools. Yang Jiujiu suddenly disappeared while investigating the poisoning. She must have found something. Now
Cangyun Sect is divided into three forces. Elder Yunhe is tracing the poisoner within Cangyun Sect, some disciples are tracing the source of the poisoned ingredients, and the last force is tracing the whereabouts of Yang Jiu.
Du Chun would never let go of the person who secretly harmed her mentor, so she worked from dawn to dusk almost every day to look for him.
As soon as I sat down, I grabbed the steamed bun and was about to eat it. Suddenly, a yellow paper crane appeared in front of me. I stretched out my hand to pinch it, opened it and took a look, and my brows furrowed slightly.
Li asked: "Who sent the flying crane?"
Du Chun said: "It's Senior Sister Ning. She said she found some clues about Junior Sister Yang's disappearance and is following them. Let's go to Yueyang Tower to meet her early tomorrow morning."
"The Yueyang Tower where Junior Sister Yang last appeared? We have searched that place for more than ten times within a hundred miles, and we haven't found anything wrong."
Li Wendao was a little surprised. In the previous month, Cangyun Sect's power was mainly concentrated near Yueyang City. After searching for a month, there was no clue. Then he slowly expanded the search to the periphery. He did not expect that Ning Xiangruo
It is still near Yueyang City now.
Du Chundao: "Senior Sister Ning didn't say it clearly above. I feel a little uneasy. You guys hurry up and eat something. I will send a letter to Senior Sister Ning from Feihe and ask her where she is now. We will go over and meet her now."
Late at night, outside Liujiazhai Village.
Ning Xiangruo stood on a low mountain peak and looked at the huge valley below. The Liu family has been in western Hunan for many years. In front of them is their main altar. It is said to be a village, but in fact it is a city located in the valley. From the valley to
There are densely packed houses everywhere on the mountainside.
The Liu family claims to be descendants of the Jiuli people. The style of their houses is also very different from that of the Han people. They are all made of wood, supported by many logs below, and there are two or three-story wooden attics above for people to live in.
Ning Xiangruo held her breath and quietly sneaked towards the largest and most luxurious wooden house in the center of the valley. She thought that with her skills, she could sneak into the village without anyone noticing.
As a result, just as they approached the outskirts of the stockade, the sound of tinkling bells suddenly came from the grass at their feet. There was absolutely no secret whistle from the Liu family within ten feet of the surrounding area. Ning Xiangruo was well-informed and immediately understood that the valley was surrounded by people.
There is a kind of ban to prevent outsiders from sneaking into the ban. Once someone approaches, the ban will be triggered. There are also some incredible little spells in other sects in the world. Compared with the witchcraft of the Jiuli people, it is naturally far from the witchcraft.
