The treehouse is not a large space, but there are many things inside, and it looks cluttered at first glance.
On the floor in the center, a thick blanket of dark yellow is spread.
Inside the house, against the wall, was an iron stove for burning wood and a copper kettle on top of the stove. There was black ash in the stove, and next to it was a small pile of unburned dry wood.
Don't look at it as summer, the night in this mountain is still cold. Although the iron stove is small, if it is lit, it can keep the whole treehouse warm.
The treehouse has two windows open, and two or three hemp ropes go around the outer edge of one side of the window, across the treehouse, and then fixed to the outer edge of the window on the other side.
On the hemp rope were a few worn-out clothes, with patches on the clothes, obviously adult clothes, and some moisture, which had not been thoroughly dried.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the windows in the treehouse.
The tree house was dimly lit, and the iron axes and hunting knives on the corners of the walls were wrapped in animal skins. There was also dark red blood on the blade.
On the wall in another place, a piece of bamboo paper is pasted, and a dagger is inserted in the center.
The face of a teenager is painted on the bamboo paper, and it is Fang Yuan's face!
This qiΔ indicates that in recent times, a person has come to this hidden little tree house and lived in seclusion. The purpose of this person is obvious, it is the source of Fang drawn on bamboo paper.
A dagger inserted in the paper expresses his sinister intentions vividly!
Such a scene cannot be moved by the parties to the source.
"What does this person want to do, why is it targeting me? No, maybe it's not me, it's Fangzheng. Fang Yuan's mind was churning violently.
Fang is a first-class qualification, the only first-class genius in the three years of the Guyue clan, and he is the hope of the Guyue clan. If it can really be cultivated, it will be the family banner of the next generation.
But cultivation always requires a process.
In this process, there are natural disasters, and there are even more **.
Natural disasters and not talking about it, the key is **. As we all know, Qingmao Mountain is not only a Guyue cottage, but also a Baijia village and a Xiongjia village. These two forces would definitely not be happy to see that the traditional overlord Gu Yue clan had cultivated a first-class genius.
Therefore, it was not uncommon for assassins to be sent to assassinate them.
In this world, there are few geniuses, and even fewer can grow smoothly.
A qualified Gu Master, it's not for nothing. Three years ago, the Gu Yue clan appeared. In earlier years, it also appeared repeatedly.
However, the three major cottages on Qingmao Mountain, combined over the years, only one first-class genius has been cultivated, and that is Bai Ningbing of Baijiazhai, who is now a third-class cultivator.
This phenomenon alone is enough to explain a lot.
"This person, is it from Baijiazhai or Xiongjiazhai? Is it going to start obliterating Gu Yue Fangzheng now?" Fang Yuan frowned, staring at the portrait on the wooden wall.
"But why, on Wang Laohan's animal skin map, there is a mark of this tree house? Could it be that Wang Laohan is a dark line developed by other forces in private? No, this person is here for me!"
Fang Yuan's eyes suddenly bloomed with a fierce light.
At this moment, he thought back to a lot of images.
For the first time, next to the trap, he heard the conversation of the four young huntersβ
A hunter said: "Second Brother Wang, if you want me to say that you are nineteen years old for the New Year, you should marry a wife and have a baby at such an old age." β
Wang Er said: "Hmph, manly man, how can you covet this little beauty! One day, I will walk out of this Qingmao Mountain, go out to wander, and see the world, so that I am worthy of being a man!"
The second time, after doing it himself, Wang Er's unusually calm. He bent his bow and arrows, pointing straight at Fang Yuan. And the other three are already begging for mercy.
The third time was Fang Yuan's questioning.
"Let me ask you, is there anyone else in this old man's family?"
A hunter replied, "The king huntsman originally had a mother-in-law, but more than ten years ago, she was killed by a wild wolf that broke into the village. Before his mother-in-law died, she gave birth to two boys and a girl to the old man Wang. But the eldest son, Wang Da, died in the mountains three years ago while hunting. There is no one in the Wang family. β
Wang Laohan actually has a daughter-in-law, who is Wang Da's wife. But after Wang Da disappeared, the mother-in-law also died of martyrdom, that year, the cottage also sent down a chaste archway. But I heard that in fact, Wang Da's wife wanted to remarry, but she was forced to death by Wang Laohan. My lord, you killed Wang Laohan to eliminate violence and peace and benefit the people. β
The other hurriedly chimed in: "Not bad, not bad. Actually, my lord, we have long seen this old man Wang unpleasant. Hmph, what's the big deal, isn't it better than we can hunt? Obviously, they are all mortals, and they seem to be very special, so they deliberately moved out of the village and lived here. We, as juniors, sometimes wanted to ask him for experience, but he drove us away and didn't allow us to be near the hut again!"
Wang Laohan's family moved out of the village and lived in isolation......
The eldest son, Wang Er, died in the mountains three years ago while hunting......
Wang Da's daughter-in-law wanted to remarry, but was forced to death by Wang Laohan and got a chastity archway......
Wang Laohan drove away all the young people who asked him for hunting experience......
Wang Laohan was bent on concealing the map of the animal skin, and on the bamboo paper handed over to Fang Yuan, he did not draw these three red circles at all......
Wang Er was young, but he was very calm in the face of the Gu Master. At the same time, he does not marry a wife, and has a grand ambition in his heart that surpasses the mortal level......
More importantly, the location of the red circle marked on the skin map is a hidden habitat. Here are clear signs of human activity. At the same time, this person has strong malice towards Fang Yuan or Fangzheng......
These clues, if separated, are not easy for people to detect. But once connected, it's weird!
The more Fang Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that the layers of fog shrouded in front of him were getting thinner and thinner.
The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on his face through the window, as thick as a touch of blood.
There seems to be a dead silence around them, is there someone behind them who has been peeping at them?
Suddenly, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, his gaze seemed to penetrate time, and he saw the truth!
"Wang Da, he is not dead. β
At this moment, his eyes were shining!
"Not only did he not die, but he also became a Demon Dao Gu Master by chance!"
It's not that mortals don't have cultivation qualifications, but the family system has always tightly controlled the Gu Master's cultivation methods.
But there are never absolutes in the world.
Mortals can also have examples of cultivating Gu masters, such as accidentally encountering a Hope Gu in the wild and opening up the void. For example, he inherited a certain power inheritance, or he was privately taught by someone in a certain family, etc.
But such a Gu master has never been tolerated by the family, and at most he can only become a thug on the periphery of the family. As a result, they were not reconciled, and they became lonely Gu masters, and the cultivation conditions were extremely difficult, and over time, in order to compete for resources, they had to burn, kill and loot, and they entered the demon path.
"Because of some kind of chance, the most likely thing is that on the corpse of a certain Gu master, he got an inheritance, and Wang Da became a Gu master three years ago. In order to hide his eyes, he released false news of his death, and in fact, no one saw his body at all. When Wang Laohan's family found out about this, they moved out of the village and lived in isolation at the risk of being attacked by wild beasts, in order to continue to cover up the truth. β
But there were some disagreements, and Wang Da's wife disagreed, perhaps because she wanted to report to Guyue Cottage. The Wang family had no choice but to kill this wife, and deliberately released some gossip that seemed to be true and false. What wants to remarry, what is forced to die, etc., firmly conceals the truth under these gossips. β
"Every once in a while, Wang Da will go home to live. Wang Laohan drove away the young people who came to seek experience. After Wang Er and his elder brother Wang Da got along, their fear of Gu Master gradually disappeared, and they naturally had the ambition to become a Gu Master and go out!"
"Because I was worried that Wang Da's deeds would leak out, Wang Er didn't take the liberty of marrying a wife at such an old age. Wang Da can't always live at home, so Wang Laohan drew three red circles on the animal skin map, and these three places should be such secret residences. The three caves of the cunning rabbit, Wang Da took turns to live in these residences, living in the cracks between the forces of the three cottages. β
The meaning of these three red circles is finally clear at this moment!
Red is often eye-catching, important, and for Wang Laohan, this is the residence of his eldest son. So Fang Yuan asked Wang Laohan to draw a map, but he didn't draw these three red circles on bamboo paper, in order to protect his eldest son. He also drew some red crosses less, wanting to avenge the murder.
"Maybe at a fixed time every year, Wang Da will go home and live for a while. When he returned, he saw that his family was dead. After inquiring secretly, they found out about me, so they nailed my portrait with a dagger to the wall just to seek revenge on me!"
With the experience of his previous life, Fang Yuan was almost sure that this was the truth.
If other forces want to assassinate Fang Zheng, they can be more secretive. There is no need to develop a mortal dark line like Wang Laohan. After all, Wang Laohan lives at the foot of the mountain, not in the Guyue Cottage.
"I can't imagine that I have provoked a demon killer for the sake of a beast skin map. What a wonderful thing this world is. Fang Yuan couldn't help but sneer.
He killed Wang Er first, and then killed Wang Laohan and Wang's sister, in order to get the animal skin map more directly. Wang Laohan was the number one hunter in the nearby villages, and his animal skin maps were of course the most valuable.
At that time, I thought: It's just three mortal lives, what's the big deal, just kill it.
In this world, everyone has the right to live, and anyone can die.
Now I didn't expect that a Demon Dao Gu Master would pop up!
In this regard, Fang Yuan did not regret it in the slightest, but felt lucky.
If he was soft-hearted at that time and wanted to obtain the Wang family's animal skin map, Wang Er, Wang Laohan, and Wang family's sisters would all be huge obstacles. In order to protect Wang Da's secret, they will never take out the real thing.
Wang Er's combat power was already capable of killing ordinary first-rank Gu masters. Wang Laohan is even older and more spicy, and if he really fights, the threat is even greater than that of Wang Er.
Even if it was genuine, Wang Laohan informed Wang Da of the details, and Wang Dahui immediately learned Fang Yuan's accurate information. No matter how he deals with it, he is in the dark and the source is in the light, and the initiative is firmly in his hands.
"Fortunately, I killed people as soon as I did it! No matter what, I have always been in control of the situation. In this way, even if you don't get the real thing in the end, you have no loss, and you can rob other hunters. and simply killed Wang Laohan and the girl, so that this Wang Da spent time collecting his own information. Needless to say, the two young hunters who survived must have been killed by him. Fang Yuan's heart was clear.
There are only a few people in the know, Wang Da will not do anything to Jiang He, as soon as Jiang He dies, the clan will send people to investigate. And if those two hunters disappear in the mountains, it will be easy to operate. Jiang He will not expose this kind of thing for the sake of the clan's evaluation of himself, but will cover it up for Wang Da.
