The next day, early in the morning, the red sun was rising.
The sun shone through the window paper. Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes and stood up immediately. Just in case, he didn't take off his clothes.
At this time, beside the table, Ye Xiuyun smiled and said, "Are you awake?"
Ling Feng saw that her eyes were a little red, so he said, "Thank you, would you like to rest for a while?"
Ye Xiuyun smiled sweetly and said, "No, I can handle it."
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and someone said: "Shaoxia Lin, Lady Ye, the patriarch, please go to the hall!"
"Okay, we'll go right away!"
After Ling Feng finished speaking, he looked at Ye Xiuyun and said: "The leader of the Miao Village called us early in the morning. It must be something big happened. Let's go and take a look first!"
Ye Xiuyun nodded and came to the lobby on the first floor with Ling Feng.
At this time, there were already many people in the hall.
Ling Feng took a look and saw that there were seven people in total, Zhou Zhijie, Guo Yan, Bayan, Miao Chunqiu, Miao Chunyu, Miao Chunmei and an old man in yellow.
At this time, the clan leader Miao Chunqiu said: "Since everyone is here, please bring them up!"
Immediately, two Miao soldiers came up escorting an old man in blue robe with a slightly wrinkled face.
Bayan's expression changed and he said: "Second Elder, what's going on?"
The second elder, Hu Fu, said nothing.
At this time, the third elder Meng Chen said: "At around midnight this morning, the second elder sneaked into the forbidden area and killed two warriors who were guarding the forbidden area. Fortunately, the patriarch had ordered people to keep a watch on him secretly. We heard the news and rushed there, and the two of them joined forces.
We have to capture him in the forbidden area! Otherwise, his conspiracy will succeed!"
Bayan looked in disbelief and said, "It's impossible. The forbidden area requires the keys of the four of us to open it. How could he go in?"
At this time, Miao Chunqiu took out four black keys and said, "I found these from his body!"
Ling Feng looked at it for a moment. The four keys were ordinary in style, but there was a faint aura shining on them. They were magic weapons that contained some forbidden runes. The forbidden runes contained in these four keys should be a combination. Only according to the
Only by inserting four keyholes in a certain arrangement can the door be opened. The secret sealed with this strict method must be extremely important, and the golden silkworm Gu mother must be in the forbidden area behind the mountain!
Not only him, but everyone else also saw the secret instantly!
Bayan's expression changed, and he took out a black key from the ring bag in his arms. It also shone with light, and it didn't look like a fake. He said: "My key is still there!"
Immediately, the third elder also took out a key and said: "My key is still there!"
Miao Chunqiu also took out a key and said: "My key is still there, but it is not my original key! Last night, I found that someone had changed my key. I knew that someone was going to sneak into the forbidden area, so I carefully prepared
After a lot of searching, we caught him, the traitor in Netherworld Palace!"
Immediately, he took out another black token and passed it to everyone, saying: "This is the Nether Guardian Law I found on him! This object has the function of communicating with the Netherworld outside the village.
Communicate with palace evil spirits.”
Ling Feng and his party had seen the token. The material was made of Netherworld Iron Essence, with Netherworld on the front and the word "Dharma Protector" on the back. It really didn't look fake.
Miao Chunqiu looked at Zhou Zhijie, clasped his fists and said: "Master Zhou, the person who poisoned the food at noon yesterday was also the second elder. Miao is really ashamed. This person is at your disposal!"
At this time, Hu Fu said coldly: "I didn't inject the poison. I never went to the kitchen at that time!"
Miao Chunqiu said: "But the maid who delivered the food said that she met you. With your ability, it would be easy to poison the maid without her noticing!"
Hu Fu sneered and said: "If you want to accuse someone, why bother?"
At this time, Bayan suddenly opened his eyes angrily and said: "Second brother, tell me, did you kill my son?"
Hu Fu said: "Brother Ba, I have ended up in this situation. If I did it, I will definitely admit it, but I really didn't kill him!"
"Okay, I believe you!"
After Bayan finished speaking, he looked at Ling Feng and others and said: "You haven't cleared the suspicion yet, I will definitely find the murderer and I will never let him go!"
Ling Feng smiled and said: "I also hope to find out the real culprit, but I am very confused. Since you have all the keys, where did the second elder's key come from?"
Bayan fell silent for a moment, as if he didn't want to talk about this topic.
At this time, Meng Chen said: "The second elder exchanged keys with me before! These four keys were made by my senior master of Miao Village. An ordinary weapon refiner would definitely not be able to imitate them, but if the keys fall into the hands of Netherworld Palace,
, it’s easy to copy as many copies as you want!”
After hearing this, Bayan no longer concealed anything and said: "Yes, I also exchanged keys with Hu Fu, but I really didn't expect that he would seek refuge in the Netherworld Palace!"
Ling Feng smiled and said: "How could you not think of such a simple situation? The second elder was too obsessed with refining the Gu. He must have fed too many golden silkworm Gu. Who knew that the golden silkworm Gu has a huge appetite and must be eaten every once in a while?
Feed it with essence and blood, otherwise it may backfire! His essence and blood loss was too much, and even if he took a lot of elixirs, he could not make up for it. Therefore, although his skills were profound, he already looked old and his life span was not long. And
The Netherworld Palace wanted to obtain the golden silkworm Gu mother, a big killer, so it found the second elder, a rotten egg with a crack, and tempted him with a life-extending elixir, and then the second elder fell for it!"
Everyone looked stunned after hearing this.
Hu Fu also said: "Yes, at this time, I have nothing to hide!"
Miao Chunqiu sighed quietly and said, "Second Elder, you are confused!"
At this time, Ling Feng said: "Since the second elder thought of copying the key, how could the first elder not think of it? Could it be that the first elder also has different intentions?"
Bayan suddenly looked angry and said: "I, Bayan, am loyal to the villagers and the clan leader, and I have no intention of betrayal!"
Miao Chunqiu also said: "I believe the First Elder, I won't mention this matter again. Someone, please lock up the Second Elder!"
Immediately, two young Miao warriors took away the second elder whose true energy was banned.
At this time, Miao Chunqiu clasped his fists at Ling Feng and his group and said, "Young heroes, because there are still some things that have not been clarified, I would like to ask you to wait for two days for the second elder to be dealt with!"
Zhou Zhijie said: "The village leader does not need to be polite, we are not injured, the second elder can be dealt with by the village master himself!"
Miao Chunqiu looked happy, cupped his fists and said, "That's it, thank you very much!"
After a while, the four of them returned to their residence to discuss.
Ye Xiuyun said: "I always feel that this matter will not be that simple. When the second elder Hu Fu has reached this point, there is no need to lie. If Ba Ming is really not killed by him, then there must be a spy from the Netherworld Palace in the village!
"
Zhou Zhijie said: "It is indeed possible!"
Ling Feng smiled and said: "But it may also be Hu Fu's trick to make us suspicious of each other. Don't worry, no matter what you really want, the people behind the scenes will not let it go. We will just wait and see what happens!"
Everyone nodded, then went to wash up and have breakfast.
