The engineer battalion did indeed lift a male corpse from the upper floor of Lu Huaimeng's house.

The corpse, which had been forcibly stuffed into the closet, did not appear to be dead for long, and there were not even corpse spots on it. In terms of age, that person is about the same as Lu Huaimeng, and he lives upstairs above Lu Huaimeng, is he Lu Huaimeng's younger brother?

The police officer who insected the scene said: "The place of death of the deceased was the glove cabinet at home, and judging from the posture of the body, he should have gotten into the glove cabinet by himself." However, the space of the utility cabinet does not seem to fit an adult, and it is hard for me to imagine how he could get into the cabinet without external pressure. ”

I reached out and grabbed the broken leg bone of the corpse, looked at it, and said in a deep voice, "Keep digging! ”

Not long after, another corpse was brought out of the basement of the engineer battalion, who had been forcibly pressed to death by his head in the sink while washing his face, and his back was facing the door of the bathroom when he died.

If you count the two Lu Huaimeng who died in the house, the deceased happened to be two men and two women, just like Lu Huaimeng said, there were three people living in this building, two were her brothers, and one didn't know who it was?

Is Lu Huaimeng's words true or false?

As I hesitated, the Engineer Battalion had dug up the location of the gatehouse on the first floor, and there was an abandoned basement underneath.

It is unknown what was once stored in the basement, and the only thing left is a bluestone slab embedded in the ground.

Here let go of the coffin.

I frowned slightly: "Pry this slate open for me." ”

After a few sappers lifted the stone slab with a crowbar, a large space was revealed underneath for the coffin. The coffin inside had long since disappeared, but I found a symbol on the back of the slate.

This is the Soul Suppression Talisman.

Someone pressed the coffin with a stone slab and engraved a soul charm on the stone slab, so that the people in the coffin would never be reborn?

I said in a deep voice, "Keep digging, open the whole floor, quick!"

The engineer battalion opened the underground slabs one after another along the direction of the rooms on the first floor, and there were indeed more than a dozen identical stone slabs buried under the corridors, where not only the souls of the wronged were suppressed, but also more than one.

What exactly was this building done in the first place?

When I was puzzled, Tianqing also sent me a message: "I found the news of the Jiangbei Inn." ”

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, most of the warlocks concentrated in the Yangtze River area, and the Yangtze River was used as the boundary to divide the two major areas of Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

The world is also divided into two systems, north and south, and there are many contradictions between the two systems, and by the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the contradictions between the two departments have reached an irreconcilable level, so they simply use the Yangtze River as the boundary to form an opposition. However, the two sides cannot be completely isolated, and someone has to cross the river to do business. The two sides each set up a place by the river that resembles the current reception office.

However, any warlock who crosses the river must first stay at the location designated by the magic path on the other side of the river, and explain his intention before being released. If the other side finds out that they have bad intentions, they will be deported to the other side of the river, or they will be executed on the spot.

The foothold where Jiangnan Shudao was established is called Jiangnan Fort.

The location of Jiangbei Shudao is Jiangbei Inn.

Jiangbei Inn has been standing for hundreds of years after ten shopkeepers, until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, it still continued to exist in Jiangbei, and after the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Jiangbei Inn disappeared without a trace. Since then, the north-south art path has also begun to integrate on a large scale, and the so-called Jiangnan Fort and Jiangbei Inn have become legends on the art road.

I checked the information and have roughly determined the location of the Jiangbei Inn. Are you going to go over?

I read the information at a glance and ten lines before I sent a message back to Tianqing: "You send me the location first." ”

Although Tianqing sent me the location of the inn ruins, he couldn't help but instruct: "If it's not necessary, I think it's better for you not to go to the ruins of the Jiangbei Inn." ”

Jiangbei Inn is not only an inn, but also a prison. Over the past hundreds of years, there have been countless masters of martial arts who have died in the Jiangbei Inn, and no one knows how many unjust souls are buried in the Jiangbei Inn, innocent. I don't know what prohibitions were set up by the Shudao Hero who was in charge of the Jiangbei Inn at the beginning, and if you rashly break into the Jiangbei Inn, you may have no return.

I pondered for a moment before saying, "Is the location of the Jiangbei Inn a secret in the Magic Dao?"

"Count!" Tianqing said: "Jiangbei Inn and Jiangnan Fort are both listed as one of the secrets of the Dao. Many masters of the Dao of Magic have searched for the specific locations of the two secret places. Most of them did not return, and a few disappeared as a result. ”

"There were once people in the art path who wanted to find another way, intending to follow the footsteps of the missing person to find the Jiangbei Inn, but in the end they didn't get any results. If it weren't for the conclusive record of the Jiangbei Inn in the classics of the Dao of Art, maybe no one would believe in the existence of the inn. ”

When I saw this, I couldn't help but ask, "Is the location you gave me accurate?"

"I'm only about four layers sure!" Tianqing said: "I have also been researching the Jiangbei Inn, and after my many deliberations, I think that the location I gave you is the most likely location." If I am more than 50% sure, I will gather people to explore the Jiangbei Inn by myself. ”

"Understood!" I replied to Tianqing, and then fell silent.

I stood there and thought for a while before sending a message to Yiyu Tianqing: "Give me the information of the Thousand Crane Sect?"

Tianqing quickly sent the information over, and my eyes lit up after reading it: "Get in the car, let's go." ”

Xiao Qian'er drove the car out before saying, "Chen Ye, the location given by Tianqing is too far, if you want to rush over, we have to take the high-speed train." ”

I shook my head and said, "Let's not go to the Jiangbei Inn, let's go to the Thousand Crane Sect." ”

"Where are you going?" Xiao Qian'er said: "Chen Ye, don't make any extraneous branches, now is not the time to go to the Thousand Crane Sect to provoke!"

"I'm not trying to provoke, I'm trying to make sure of something. I turned to Hong Zi'an and asked, "Hong Zi'an, if your company is on the verge of bankruptcy, but there is an opportunity for you to turn around or kill you, what will you choose?"

"Bet!" Hong Zi'an almost didn't hesitate: "This truth is very simple, because I am used to living a life of fine clothes and food, and suddenly let me change a way of life, I will definitely not accept it." No matter how crazy that opportunity is, the big deal is death, and if I win the bet, I can still live for half a lifetime, why don't I gamble?"

"That's right. I said in a deep voice: "Old man Lu is a gambler who loses red-eyed. If he wanted to escape, he would not give the developer a trick and set up a feng shui array of ambushes on all sides in the community. He will not leave all his grandsons and granddaughters in a house that can die at any time. ”

Lu Huaimeng said that Old Man Lu left the building to deal with the wooden door in order to save them, but from another point of view, how can it not be understood that Old Man Lu used Lu Huaimeng and them to drag the wooden door and find a way to crack the wooden door by himself? If he succeeded, not only would he be able to live, but the Lu family would also be very happy. I think it's more likely that he's going to gamble. ”

Xiao Qian'er couldn't help but say when she heard this: "Chen Ye, are you thinking too dark about human nature?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't want to doubt humanity if I can." But that ten-sided ambush feng shui bureau made me have to think. ”

I said in a deep voice: "Old man Lu's ten-sided ambush seems to be sharp and murderous, but the entire formation is a layout of encircling but not killing, this is not the result of the ten-sided ambush!"

I didn't wait for Xiao Qian'er to ask again, so I continued: "The feng shui array is ambushed on all sides, and the core part is the 'Jiangtai', and only the presence of the general can wave the ten thousand troops and encircle the target. There was no shodai involved in that community. It shows that Old Man Lu is just besieging the brick building. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Old Man Lu should have lured another person out of the wooden door at some point, and then activated the Feng Shui Array that had already been prepared, trapping her in the building. ”

This is what Lu Huaimeng said, there is a fourth person in the building. In fact, didn't we find someone in the building?"

"What's more, since Old Man Lu has always known that the wooden gate is chasing him. Why did he suddenly lose control and collapse after hearing the appearance of the wooden door? Can I understand that he usually does not touch the door just as a kind of caution, not because he is being chased by the wooden door?"

Xiao Qian'er nodded and said, "What you said also makes some sense." But. How do you know that the secret of the wooden door is hidden in the Thousand Crane Sect?"

"Because of the information I have. I paused for a moment and said, "There are so many Taoist temples in the world, he doesn't look for them, why do you have to look for the Thousand Crane Sect?

Hong Zi'an just glanced at my phone, and his face sank: "Yao Yuanhua, this liar." ”

It is clearly written in Tianqing's information: The Thousand Crane Sect has been in decline for many years, and the disciples in the sect are concentrating on collecting wealth and have no intention of cultivating. Because the sect leader is good at dancing with long sleeves, he has a place in the sect's foreign affairs alliance, but its nature has long changed, and the famous sect is even ashamed to be with the Thousand Crane Sect. Don't worry too much about the Thousand Crane Sect.

I sneered, "If Old Man Lu is trying to avoid trouble, he shouldn't have chosen the Thousand Crane Sect. His choice can only show one thing, there is a secret in the Thousand Crane Sect that he wants. ”

Xiao Qian'er didn't ask anymore when he heard this, and he stepped on the accelerator and sped up.

Chen Sanjin said at this time: "Brother Ye, don't you think that Lu Huaimeng is fake? How do you know if what she said is reliable?"

I laughed and said, "Only by telling the truth and falsehood together can you deceive people." If Lu Huaimeng told the story too fakely, he would definitely not be able to deceive us. So there must be some truth in her words. She has been lying to us because the wooden door is under the suppression of the ambush on all sides, and she can't come and go as freely as usual, and she needs time to prepare. Until then, we must not be able to detect anything wrong. ”

My voice sank: "Other things, we can only know when we get to the Thousand Crane Sect." ”
