Due to the rain, many traces of the outside of the house have been washed away, but fortunately, the scene of the crime is inside the house, and many traces have been preserved.

After dealing with the affairs of the village, the dead villagers were buried, and it was already dark.

"What do you think?"

Situ Jingping asked Ouyang Kai and Yin Ziyun.

Yin Ziyun shook his head, he didn't know anything, although he had arrived in this village first, but he had no knowledge.

"The murderer's kung fu is extremely high, and the sword technique is quite proficient, and everyone is killed with one hit."

After inspecting the corpses of the villagers before, Ouyang Kai knew that the people who came were not shallow in their skills, and their movements were not muddy and watery.

"Make good use of swords~"

Situ Jingping groaned, people with high cultivation generally don't show their heads, and it is difficult to find such a person.

"All the young women were taken captive, there was more than one murderer, there were not more than a dozen people, and they couldn't kill the whole village without knowing it, and they took the women away."

Although the rain will wash away many traces, judging from the indoor situation, all the villagers were killed in the house, and Situ Jingping did not doubt what Ouyang Kai said.

"Maybe you can go up to Ziyun Mountain to have a look."

Last time, if there was no Zhou Yi, Ouyang Kai had already explored Ziyun Mountain, and he didn't bring her here this time, so he also had such concerns.

"There's something wrong with Ziyun Mountain?"

Looking at Ziyun Mountain, Situ Jingping asked with a frown.

"Panlong Temple."

"Panlongguan? Related to the Panlong Cult? ”

Although he is in the capital most of the time, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know about things outside the capital, and Situ Jingping has also been in contact with this Panlong Sect.

"Not sure yet."

Ouyang Kai told the truth, such a tragic thing was not discovered outside Bali County at the beginning.

"Let's go up the hill and have a look."

It's not too far from the village, and you might find any clues.

"Your Excellency knows about the Panlong Sect?"

This is the second time Yin Ziyun has heard the Panlong Sect, and the first time is also in this place, that is, after the last fight with Ouyang Kai, Ouyang Kai told Zhou Yi.

"The Panlong Sect is also a restless sect."

didn't say too much to Yin Ziyun, Situ Jingping got into the carriage.

"Eh, can Ouyang tell me?"

couldn't get an answer from Situ Jingping, Yin Ziyun asked Ouyang Kai again.

"Chickens and dogs are just thieves."

After saying this, Ouyang Kai also got on the horse and left.

"Restless, roosters and dogs, it seems to be a den of gangsters."

Yin Ziyun was thoughtful, and after a while, he found something, "Hey! Wait for me! ”

Ziyun Mountain is not a big mountain or a high mountain, not to mention compared to Thundering Mountain, even Niulan Mountain is taller than it.

It didn't take long to go up to Ziyun Mountain and come to the front of Panlong Temple.

"Why don't they hold the lights?"

It's completely dark, but Panlongguan is still black, a little crazy.

Ouyang Kai and Situ Jingping each took a torch and glanced in front of the Guanzi Gate, and the fallen leaves were already two inches thick, and there was no trace of people walking in the middle.

There are even cobwebs hanging on the corners of the door, and a lot of dust has fallen on the door knocker, and it seems that no one has been in or out of the Panlong Temple for a long time.

Giving the guard Situ Zhizhi a look, let him follow, and the others stayed, Situ Jingping knocked on the door of Panlongguan.

Knock knock~

Squeak~

With a light knock with his hand, the door opened, and there was not much dust, it seemed that there was no one in Panlongguan, and the person had not been gone for a long time.

Stepping into the door, the scene inside was almost as expected, pitch black, the evening breeze blew the torches in his hands, and the hanging cloth in the distance was blown to and fro.

It seems that someone in the main hall is looking at the gate, which can't help but make people feel gloomy.

Entering the Panlongguan Palace, the dragon statue stands in the center of the hall, the two eyeballs are wide, looking at the Panlongguan gate, it seems that these two eyeballs make people uncomfortable.

The main hall was already dusty, and there was nothing strange about it.

Ouyang Kai and Situ Jingping glanced at each other and walked towards the two side doors of the main hall separately.

Tables and chairs were placed in both side rooms, and all but the one in the main seat had fallen to the ground.

Take away the pot on the main seat, pull out the bamboo stick, there is nothing in the pot, put the bamboo stick back, and put the pot back in place.

The two walked back to the main hall from the side room, looked at each other and shook their heads, and each found nothing.

After going to the backyard and searching the rooms, he found that the situation was very different from the side room of the main hall.

The room was a mess, objects were staggered, all traces were destroyed, and no useful clues were left.

"It seems that the people here are very careful, and they seem to be in a hurry, but they have covered up all the traces, leaving no useful clues, let's go back!"

Looking at the messy room, he won't find anything if he looks for it any longer, Situ Jingping sighed.

"And one more place!"

Ouyang Kai said with certainty, generally Zhuangguan Temple, will dig a stone cave in the back mountain, in case of emergency, he has it in Leiming Mountain, Panlong Temple can not be without.

"Back Mountain!"

Situ Jingping suddenly remembered that Houshan hadn't checked it yet.

Not far from the Panlong Temple, the stone cave in the back mountain is easy to find, but the stone cave is very strange.

Standing in front of the stone cave, Ouyang Kai frowned, the door of the cave was wide open, and there was a hint of rotten meat inside.

"I'll go in with Ouyang and concentrate on you guarding the entrance of the cave outside."

After exchanging glances with Ouyang Kai, Situ Jingping commanded.

Situ was left to concentrate on the outside in order to prevent someone from sneaking up and trapping them inside.

However, it backfired, just when Situ Zhuanzhi was about to turn his back to the stone cave, someone kicked him into the stone cave from behind, and the door of the stone cave slowly fell.

Sensing the flying Situ Zhizhi, Ouyang Kai hurriedly reached out to catch him.

Boom~

At the same time as catching Situ Zhuanzhi, the door of the stone cave also slammed on the ground, sealing the stone cave.

"Let's take a look at the situation here."

The door of the stone cave had fallen, but Situ Jingping did not panic.

There is a stone table in the stone cave, which is still directly hewn out, indicating that the stone cave is used for temporary refuge, as a place of refuge, even if the stone door falls, there will be air circulation.

"Pork! We are calculated. ”

The source of the smell of rotten meat was found, a piece of pork in the cave, and nothing else.

Judging from the state of the pork, it was thrown in casually, and it was deliberately used to attract people to come in.

"Let's get out." Situ Jingping said.

Ouyang Kai and Situ Zhuzhi nodded, they couldn't find any useful clues in the stone cave.

"My lord, I can't find the mechanism to open the door, could it be outside?"

After looking around the stone gate for a long time, Situ Zhuzhi said helplessly to Situ Jingping.

"There's one in there, let's look for it again!"

Situ Jingping felt that he should have neglected a certain place when he was looking for it, and it was impossible to have no organs.

If this kind of cave is used for refuge, the door is usually opened and closed on the inside of the cave, and it is foolish to put it outside the cave.

Even if this cave is used to store items, there will be a switch inside and outside the door, and it is impossible to find it.

"Don't look for it, you guys stand back!"

After fumbling around the door for a while, but still didn't find the switch, Ouyang Kai motioned to Situ Jingping and the two to step back.

If you can't find the door opening mechanism, you will directly smash the door open with violent output, Situ Jingping has not practiced martial arts, although Situ Zhuanzhi has kung fu, but he will definitely not be able to withstand the momentum of the mixed yuan swordsmanship.

When the two retreated to a safe position, Ouyang Kai pulled out the Qinghong Sword,

"Three lives and nine mysteries!"

Endless sword intent instantly appeared on Ouyang Kai's sword, and the pressure in the stone cave increased suddenly, and Situ Jingping felt that the stone cave was about to collapse.

Situ Zhuanzhi felt that he was about to lose his hold, and hurriedly pulled Situ Jingping back.

The majestic momentum rolled up all the things that could be moved in the stone cave, and Situ Jingping and the two hurriedly grabbed the stone wall, and the torches in their hands could no longer be pulled.

Ouyang Kai's momentum became more and more vigorous, the pressure in the stone cave became more and more intense, and Situ Jingping was also forced to lie on the ground.

Thundered~

The stone gate made a loud noise, and it was lifted upwards little by little.

When Situ Jingping was about to be unable to even hold the stone table, Ouyang Kai's strength had already reached the fire, and with a finger of the sword, he sent the strongest blow at the lower end of the stone gate.

Boom~

There was a loud bang, and between a burst of lightning and flint, the stone door was directly blown open, and the rubble splashed everywhere, sweeping through the woods in front of the cave, the trees were broken by the waist, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of stone explosions, and the smoke at the entrance of the cave was filled with smoke that did not disperse for a long time.

Without the huge pressure, Situ Jingping took a few breaths and got up from the ground.

"Hahaha~ worthy of being the apprentice of the Qinghong Sword Saint!"

A soft voice came in from outside the smoke.
