Tang Zhou looked at the disappearing black shadow, and quickly chased after it, but after looking around, there were still traces of the black shadow.

Tang Zhou shook his head and began to walk back, at this time, the fifth uncle and others also arrived with people, the fifth uncle and the others did not notice the black shadow, so they opened their mouths and asked, "Daoist, who are you?" ”

Tang Zhou opened his mouth and said, "There was a dark shadow snooping on us just now, but he was very fast, and I couldn't catch up."

Everyone returned to the office, and the county ordered Huang Qing to arrange for Tang Zhou and Chen Ergou to stay. Huang Qing set up a banquet to entertain, Tang Zhou and others. During the banquet, Huang Qing said to Tang Zhou, "I will report this matter to Donglai Taishou, and someone should be sent over in a few days."

"Hmm" Tang Zhou replied absentmindedly, in fact, Tang Zhou didn't like to deal with people in the government very much, after all, the hidden purpose of Taiping Dao was to overthrow the rule of the Han Empire.

After dinner, several people went back to their rooms to rest, and they didn't say anything all night.

On the second day, Tang Zhou went to find the fifth uncle after breakfast, the fifth uncle's eyes were bloodshot at the moment, and he didn't sleep all night, Tang Zhou looked at the fifth uncle and said, "Why didn't you sleep all night?" ”

The fifth uncle sighed, "Yes, here are a few more people who reported that someone is missing"

Tang Zhou was also embarrassed, this murderer had no restraint, but how to investigate?

At this time, a servant walked in and said to the fifth uncle and Tang Zhou, "Fifth uncle, Taoist master, the county order is invited."

The two answered and went to the county government with the officials. Tang Zhou entered the county hall and found that in addition to Huang Qing, there were several other people in this hall. These people are obviously not simple people, there are two middle-aged people sitting in the front row, one is dressed as a Confucian scholar and the other is wearing a Xuanqing Taoist robe. Huang Qing saw Tang Zhou come in and got up and said, "Come on, Daoist, let me introduce you," Huang Qing pointed to the middle-aged Confucian with a sword at his waist and said, "This is Mr. Kong Ci of Confucianism." The middle-aged Confucian scholar known as Kong Ci gestured to Tang Zhou, but Tang Zhou was startled after hearing this, and hurriedly bowed down to Kong Ci and saluted, "I am fortunate to meet everyone in Kong, and I am fortunate to be in the next three lives", Tang Zhou thought that this Donglai Taishou was also enough to pay blood, and he actually invited Kong Ci from the Confucian Confucius Temple.

When it comes to Confucianism, we have to mention the Confucian Confucian saint Confucius, during the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius walked between the princely states with his disciples seventy-two people, and in his later years, he realized that the life of the morning and evening was only the Spring and Autumn Period, creating a Confucian precedent, Confucianism has existed for thousands of years since Confucius, among which the saints have been called the first major faction in the world, Confucianism advocates entering the WTO and cultivating one's self to govern the country. And this Confucius is the descendant of Confucius, the Confucian family has always had a high status in Confucianism, and Qingzhou is the hometown of Confucius, and the Confucius Temple in Qingzhou is a holy place of Confucianism. Today's Confucian leader is Kong Ci's father, Kong Zhou. Kong Zhou had seven sons, namely Kong Chen, Kong Bao, Kong Qian, Kong Yu, Kong Rong, Kong Ci, and Kong Xi. The power of Confucianism reached its peak during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Empire, and was once enshrined as the state religion. Standing behind Kong Chen were several Confucian disciples, these disciples were not very old, they were dressed in brocade and light clothes, with a sword and jade around their waists, and Gu Ying had a scholarly spirit.

Huang Qing pointed to another person wearing a Xuanqing Taoist robe and said, "This is Langya Zhuge Jue."

Tang Zhou listened, my God, I thought that one Kong Ci would be enough, but I didn't expect that even the contemporary head of the Zhuge family in Langya County was invited out.

This Zhuge family is not big, but there are many talents, and they are famous for their Qimen Dunjia skills. According to rumors, the Zhuge family lives in Zhuge Village, Langya County, and its village is built according to the style of nine palace gossip, and it is difficult for people who are not from the Zhuge family to enter the village. And it is said that the ancestor of the Zhuge family once caught a dragon, but the truth is unknown.

Tang Zhou secretly sighed in his heart, Confucian Confucius Temple Kong Ci, Zhuge Jue, the head of the Zhuge family, this is really a big deal.

After Tang Zhou Shili sat down, Huang Qing opened his mouth and said, "The matter of Huang County, I think you all know about it, and I won't say anything about it below, this matter was ordered by the state pastor, and the adults invited you to come to catch the real culprit as soon as possible, so that this farce can end as soon as possible." Because this matter is not just a matter of Huang County, I heard from the county keeper that there are thousands of missing people in Qingzhou."

Tang Zhou's face was shocked, how could this be, if more than a thousand people were zombified, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Kong Ci's face was heavy, he reached out and touched his beard and said, "Please rest assured that Huang County Ling, we will do our best."

Zhuge Jue nodded and said, "In a while, the poor Dao will use the Qimen technique to launch the location of the missing, and then the adults only need to send troops over."

"It's so good," Huang Qing laughed and said, "There are a few masters here, and the murderer can't be rampant for a while."

"Poor Dao will go down first and prepare," Zhuge Jue got up and said goodbye

Kong Ci also stood up and said, "I have heard the Qimen technique of the Zhuge family for a long time, and I just happened to go with me, and the old man should also have a good experience."

Huang Qing laughed and said, "Let's go together"

Everyone went out of the office and went to the south of Huangxian County, at this moment a three-story platform has been erected outside the city, and the surrounding rows are heavily guarded to avoid idle people and other onlookers. Several cases of incense burners were placed on the high platform, and the Jiuyao Star Banner was displayed in the wind. Zhuge Jue wore a Taoist crown on his head and held a peachwood sword, and walked quickly to the high platform, followed by a small Taoist boy. Tang Zhou stood under the stage and looked at the young man who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and at this moment he was following Zhuge Qi in a good way, Tang Zhou glanced at Kong Ci beside him and stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Kong, who is the child behind the head of the Zhuge family?" ”

Kong Ci laughed and said, "That's the eldest son of the head of the Zhuge family, named Zhuge Jin, and he is the leader of the younger generation of the Zhuge family."

"Oh" Tang Zhou bowed his head, he faintly felt that Zhuge Jin had an indescribable momentum on his body.

At this time, Zhuge Jue on the stage began the technique of Qimen, at this time he asked for a few pieces of missing people's clothes, put them on a few cases, Zhuge Jue had words in his mouth, but Tang Zhou was far away and couldn't hear clearly, Zhuge Jue fiddled on the stage for a long time, sweating on his forehead.

At this moment, Zhuge Jue's heart was shocked, what happened to his own technique today, the clothes were stained with someone's soul breath, Zhuge Jue used the technique of Qimen to lead the breath of heaven and earth to find the soul of the missing person, so that he could know where the missing person was. But today, he couldn't feel the other party's soul at all.

Zhuge Jue bit his finger and smeared the blood on the peachwood sword, closed his eyes and shouted, "Soul searching, hurry!" ”

Among the several pieces of clothing, a black robe fluttered up, this scene was a little weird, Zhuge Jue opened his eyes, the peach wood sword waved at the clothes, and said in his mouth, "Go!" ”

This dress was pointed by Zhuge Jue, and it actually rotated around the high platform, like a trapped beast, left and right, Zhuge Jue frowned, and shouted to Zhuge Jin behind him: "Give me the seven-star copper coin!" ”

Zhuge Jin immediately took out seven copper coins from his body, and Zhuge Jin threw the seven copper coins into the air and shouted, "Seven stars follow your fate, hurry!" ”

Seven copper coins were strangely suspended in the air, and a few flashed, and all the copper coins were attached to the black robe. The black robe finally stabilized, lingered for a long time, and flew towards the southeast of Huang County.

Zhuge Jue shouted on the stage, "Follow that black robe"

Kong Ci and Tang Zhou glanced at each other, and in a flash, they came to the vicinity of the black robe, and the two of them stuck behind the black robe.

Under the high platform, Huang Qing took the armor soldiers on the horse, these armor soldiers were a team of 100 cavalry elite transferred by the Taishou of Donglai County, plus more than 300 county soldiers and officials in the county chased after them.

The speed of the black robe was not very fast, and it didn't take long for Huang Qing and Zhuge Jue father and son to catch up with the armor soldiers.

Kong Ci looked back at Zhuge Jue's pale face, there was no blood, Kong Ci frowned and asked, "Zhuge family master, who are you?" ”

Zhuge Jue rode on the horse and waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I encountered a little obstacle when I used the Qimen technique to find people just now, the owners of those clothes should have turned into zombies, I can't feel the souls of those people at all in the spell, and I should have been discovered in my spell, if it wasn't for the Seven Star Soul Chasing Technique, I'm afraid this last person wouldn't be found."

Kong Ci didn't know much about the Qimen technique, but Tang Zhou understood the danger, and Tang Zhou said, "In this way, the other party has already discovered us?" ”

Zhuge Jue nodded, "It should be, by the way, what is the big murder in front of the Huang County Order?"

Huang Qing thought for a while and said, "Walking five miles ahead, there is a continuous hill, this place is full of trees, white bones, and few people."

"What's the name of this place?" Zhuge asked

Huang Qing looked ahead and said, "That place is called Mourning Hill."

"Wailing Hill?" Kong Ci frowned and said, "I know this place of Aiqiu, when the ancestor Confucius traveled to the vassal kingdoms in the past, when he passed by this place, he said that there was a gloomy atmosphere here, which is very unknown."

"It seems that this is the place," Zhuge said.

Suddenly, Tang Zhou let out an exclamation, pointed ahead and said, "The black robe has landed."

When everyone looked over, they saw the black robe that had just flown in front of them falling to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

Seeing this, Zhuge Jue frowned, quickly calculated in his hands, and finally sighed and said, "The owner of this clothing should have also been turned into a zombie." ”

Losing the last clue, everyone fell silent for a while, and Kong Ci said, "For the sake of today, we should rush to the Wailing Hill at full speed."

"Good"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the group hurried towards the mourning hill.

It was getting late, the sun was about to set, and everyone finally came to the Mourning Hill.

Looking at the mourning mounds from afar, the shadows of the trees are mottled in the sunset, Zhuge Jue looked ahead and said, "This extremely yin place is a good place to raise corpses, everyone be careful"

The land of the mounds is full of low shrubs, taller than people, one after another, the vines between the trees are intertwined, and there is not a passage that can be passed through the whole mound, every tree is a tree, and one mound after another.

Tang Zhou said to everyone: "There is no road, how can we get in?" ”

Zhuge Jue was thinking about something at the moment, and after a long time, he raised his head and said, "Follow me, this place is a maze."

Everyone followed behind Zhuge Jue, and Zhuge Jue walked to a place and stretched out his hand to "open"

I saw a magical scene happen, the trees in this place moved silently, and a deep path was revealed.

Under the sunset, Huang Qing divided the team into two teams at the suggestion of Kong Ci, because the road was very narrow, the cavalry was difficult to use, so a team of people was left to be stationed outside by Huang Qing, one to facilitate the reception, the other to guard the horses, and the rest of the people all dismounted into the mourning hill.

mottled tree shadows,

bizarre and motley
