Since the boy's disappearance, as soon as the sun sets, the suburbs of Xiyang County are exceptionally quiet.

The stalls no longer go out, and the shops are closed, and the prosperity of the former capital is no longer seen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Chu Miao and Pei Jue changed into black tights, each pasted a second-order concealment charm, and quietly walked out of the palace.

When they came to the house where Pei Jue found traces of evil cultivation, several people carefully inspected the house where the boy lived.

The family was originally doing business at the foot of the imperial city, and since the disappearance of the child, they have returned to their hometown in the countryside like ashes.

At this time, there was only Chu Miao and his party in the empty house, and there was no breath and footsteps, and the figure that was about to disappear in the darkness looked very weird.

They found nothing in the house where the boy lived, and they searched around in the empty house.

A quarter of an hour later, they all gathered in the courtyard, all shaking their heads in disappointment, still finding no clue.

After leaving the empty house, Pei Jue planned to take a few people to another missing family to investigate, but Chu Miao took a few people around the house.

The house is located in the west of Xiyang County, and the people living here are people with low status in the world, and the houses are not neatly built.

Chu Miao found that there was only one alley here that could be bypassed directly from the west of the city, and the alley was very remote, and there would be no soldiers patrolling and beating guards.

So I decided to follow the alley all the way to see where it could lead.

The four of them walked lightly and slowly all the way, and walked for about a quarter of an hour before they walked out of the remote alleyway.

After walking for a while, I came to a remote city wall, and there was a hole hidden by a phantom array under the city wall, and the technique was quite clever.

Gu Nianning was overjoyed when he saw it, and said: "There is a formation covering here, it must have been made by those two evil cultivators, should we go out and have a look?" ”

After several people heard the transmission, they all looked at Chu Miao, wanting her to make a decision.

Although Chu Miao is the youngest, her cultivation strength is the highest among several people, and she acts in a good way on weekdays, and at this time, several people are faintly headed by her.

Looking at the more clever formation in front of him, Chu Miao decided to take a look first,

So he said to a few people, "Since I have found a clue, I naturally want to take a look."

Every time the evil cultivator acts, it is at night, and now is the right opportunity! Pei Jue stays here, if we don't return for a long time, we will quickly report to the sect. ”

Pei Jue saw that Chu Miao was going to leave him here, and he was a little anxious, "No, I have to follow, I am familiar with the surroundings of Xiyang County, if there is an emergency, I can take you to hide." ”

Gu Nianning also followed: "Ah Miao, let's take Senior Brother Pei with you, one more person is also more protection, and it is only a moment to send the notes of the sect left and right, and it is not that the Yuanying Monk can't stop it at all." ”

Pei Jue hurriedly said, "That's it, those two evil cultivators are both at the twelfth level of Qi cultivation, although I am not good, I can also help disrupt their formation." ”

Chu Miao saw that it was not easy to say any more, thinking that Pei Jue was very old, and it would not make a big difference whether he went or not, so he had to take him with him.

"Okay, let's not go out of this cave for the sake of safety, let's go out of the city at the west gate, and then go back to the cave entrance to investigate." After speaking, he walked towards the west gate.

The city gate was closed when the sun set, and the laymen did not know what evil cultivation was, but only knew that the city was not safe in recent days, and closed the gate early.

It didn't make a difference to the monk whether it was closed or not, and the men quickly opened the door and got out through a crack.

When they arrived at the exit of the cave outside the city, several people found that there was an early warning formation here, and the formation technique was the same as that in the city.

Mu Xiaodie circled around the early warning formation and said, "Fortunately, they didn't come out of there directly just now, these people are really vigilant." ”

Chu Miao and Pei Jue both had some research on the formation, and after reading it, they only felt that this person's formation technique was indeed very clever.

This person combined the killing array and the early warning array of the first-order Nine Palace Formation, although he couldn't kill the late-stage Qi cultivation cultivator, but suddenly entering the formation was enough to make him injured.

Outside the entrance to the cave was an almost deserted road, overgrown with grass and nothing but grass around it.

Pei Jue cautiously poked out his divine consciousness and swept around before he could tell where this place was.

"It seems that there is a direct access to Luqing Mountain on the outskirts of the city, the scenery of Luqing Mountain is not very good, and there are no temples and Taoist temples, and no one sets foot in it on weekdays."

After hearing this, several people were overjoyed, the wilderness and abandoned roads were just in line with the hiding place of the evil cultivators.

Chu Miao walked in the front, and behind Gu Nianning Palace, several people carefully followed the road covered by wild grass and walked towards Lu Qingshan in front.

The dew green mountains at night were even more barren than the day, and when the four of them reached the foot of the mountain, they lost the traces of evil cultivators.

Although Lu Qingshan is not as vast as the lofty mountains, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack for a Qi cultivation monk to find a hidden cave in the mountain.

The four of them divided into pairs and searched around at the foot of the mountain, but there were still no clues, so they had to gather together again to discuss.

Gu Nianning proposed to go up the mountain directly, and then divide into two teams to find after going up the mountain.

Chu Miao felt that it was too dangerous to act separately, Mu Xiaodie and Pei Jue were only practicing Qi at the ninth level, and if they encountered evil cultivators, they could almost only die.

After a stalemate at the bottom of the mountain, the four decided to go up the mountain together, although the goal was bigger, but the score was divided into two teams worried about each other's better.

After going up the mountain, I felt that the whole mountain seemed to be just a few of them, and there was not even a trace of wind, and there was silence around.

A few people only paid attention to whether there were footprints around them, or the death qi unique to evil cultivators, and they were not affected by the silence of the outside world.

Soon followed a path and found a remote cave.

Several people glanced at each other, and did not dare to exude their divine sense to probe at will, Chu Miao asked the other three to wait in place, and sneaked towards the cave with his hidden breath.

There was no trace of any formation outside the cave, Chu Miao easily entered the cave against the mountain wall, and the other three held their breath in place, their hearts pounding.

Chu Miao clinged to the cold mountain wall, and the more she walked in, the more she felt a dead aura that was not strong if there was nothing, and Chu Miao's movements became more cautious.

There was not a trace of light or sound in the passage, and Chu Miao slowed down his breathing, for fear of making a slight noise, and walked sideways against the winding mountain wall.

After turning two or three corners, Chu Miao's vision lit up slightly, and she saw a small open place appear in front of her.

The cave does not seem to have been dug by man, and the ground and walls inside are not irregularly flat.

Chu Miao took a closer look at the glowing thing, only to find that it turned out to be a few shapeless lighting stones, scattered on the ground in bits and pieces.

Through the light of the lighting stone, Chu Miao saw clearly the six lifeless corpses on the ground, all of them were eight or nine-year-old boys, who were thrown on the ground at will.

Each of the boys was blue and black, shriveled and bloodless, and lay there limply, their faces twisted in horror and pain.

Chu Miao saw that the dead air in the cave had almost dissipated, and knew that these children should have been dead for many days.

Seeing the tragic condition of these children, my heart was even more disgusted and hated by the evil cultivators who had done such evil things.

Seeing that there was no trace of evil cultivation anymore, Chu Miaoyun got up and came out of the cave, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the side of several people.

Facing the three people: "The cave is not big, there are several shriveled boy corpses, the dead qi has dissipated, it should be the cave used by the evil cultivator before, but it has been abandoned." ”

After hearing this, several people went into the cave one by one to investigate, and after coming out of the cave, their faces were full of anger, and they sat silently outside the cave for a long time.
