When the elders were searching, Jiao Niang stood beside Xiao Jiading tremblingly: "Xiao Lang, you say, what will happen to him?" Did the beast take him away? ”

Xiao Jiading looked at Siqi and the three of their masters and servants who were still snuggled together, and said to Jiao Niang: "It won't be a beast, if he can't even deal with a beast, then no one will invite him to guard." Besides, even if it was a beast, he couldn't deal with it, and it was impossible for him to be taken away without any movement. ”

In fact, there was one fact that puzzled him even more, and that was the reaction of the three of them.

When they called up the elders to talk about this matter just now, the voice was already very loud, and they wouldn't be unable to hear it. In addition, Jiao Niang's words just now were spoken beside them, and the voice was also very loud, and they could hear it completely, but they still didn't react, as if they were asleep.

How so? They're not going to be harmed, are they?

Xiao Jiading was shocked, and he went down, put his hand on the shoulder of his sister Siqin in the middle and shook it gently, and was about to ask, when he was suddenly stunned. Immediately, a wizened hand rested on his wrist.

Xiao Jiading suddenly felt a strange force coming, this kind of force had a feeling that made people's bones crispy, and at the same time, his whole body was weak and he felt sick to his stomach.

Xiao Jiading had never encountered such a strange palm force, he was taken aback, bent his fingers, and in the blink of an eye, an invisible energy rose from his palm, and at the same time, his middle finger had become as white as jade, crystal clear, and with a "do", he flicked a finger in the palm of the other party's hand.

The thin palm that grabbed Xiao Jiading and emitted a strange palm power naturally belonged to the old woman. She was hit in the palm of her palm by Xiao Jiading's finger, and she felt that the force had a powerful power that destroyed her strange palm power coefficient, and at the same time, it reached her heart, like an invisible giant hand, firmly holding her heart. Just retract the force. It can crush her heart like an egg.

The old woman was so frightened that her heart immediately stopped beating. Her eyes widened in horror, she didn't dare to make any resistance, and could only wait helplessly for the other party to decide her life or death.

There was a stalemate for a moment. Xiao Jiading slowly withdrew his hand from Siqin's shoulder, and at the same time, he was also out of the old woman's control.

At this moment, the old woman felt that the giant hand holding her heart disappeared in an instant. A heart was beating again, but it was just a survival escape, much faster than it had just beaten.

Xiao Jiading glanced at the three of them again. Said slowly: "Are the three of you okay?" We were entrusted to protect the three along the way, and something happened just now, and I was worried about the three of them, so I took the liberty of it. ”

The old woman's voice was a little bitter: "The young man's surname? Can you tell the name of the teacher? ”

Xiao Jiading said: "Under Xiao Dalang." The name of the teacher can't tell each other, and I ask the old man to forgive me......"

As soon as he said this, he heard Siqi's voice say coldly: "Since you have been entrusted by someone to protect us, then what you should do is done." We don't care. Please don't disturb us. - Not at any time! ”

Xiao Jiading was stunned, he had never met such an unreasonable person. Women are usually unreasonable, though. There's nothing surprising about this. So, he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, that's the bother." Sleep. ”

Xiao Jiading occupied his waist, and Jiao Niang couldn't see what happened just now in the dark, but she sensed the fight between the two just now from the old woman's frightened questioning. Obviously, the old woman was completely defeated. That's when he asks in horror.

But what she is paying attention to now is not in the internal competition, and she has fully understood the horror of Xiao Jiading's martial arts. Now, the most worrying thing is that one of their partners has disappeared out of thin air!

Since they don't care about chess, they should act according to their own ideas. Xiao Jiading immediately ordered loudly and lit a torch to find it.

With the light, the search was much faster, and it didn't take long for them to find the bamboo pole. -- To be precise, the body of the bamboo pole was found. A horrible corpse.

The body was in a low-lying area not far from where they were sleeping. There was a bloody hole in the heart of the corpse. You don't need to reach in to probe it, you can know that the heart of the deceased has been taken away!

Xiao Jiading got the news and left three people including tuberculosis shell to guard, and he took Ge Lao and Jiao Niang to the place where the body was found.

More than ten steps away from the corpse, Xiao Jiading asked Ge Lao, Jiao Niang and Huang Shiyun to wait in place.

It was Ge Lao who found the body, he was very experienced, and after discovering the body, he did not make a noise, but immediately returned to report to Xiao Jiading.

Xiao Jiading came here and checked the situation around the corpse, except for the stampede marks left by the elder when he found the corpse, there were no other traces. Including the traces of the deceased's bamboo pole himself, or the traces of the murderer who caught him here. None were left.

How did his murderer get here with a bamboo pole hostage? Could it be that this murderer can fly against the wind? No way! Xiao Jiading has never seen it, let alone heard of anyone with such ability.

After checking the surroundings and finding no suspicious traces, Xiao Jiading walked to the corpse, and he saw the frightened eyes of the corpse, which could only be left by extreme fear. What scares him so much?

Xiao Jiading was puzzled, it stands to reason that the people in the rivers and lakes, who are all people who lick blood on swords, are still very open to life and death, if it is a face-to-face duel, no matter how high the opponent's skills are, it is impossible for him to be so frightened, even if it is death, it will not make him so afraid.

Unless it is, ghosts!

As soon as he thought of this word, Xiao Jiading immediately felt a cold air on his back spine, as if an ethereal ghost was blowing on the back of his neck. He couldn't help but fight a cold war. When I subconsciously looked back, all I saw was the deathly silence of the night sky.

Xiao Jiading turned his head and looked at the corpse at his feet, his gaze fell on the fist-sized blood hole on the left chest of the corpse.

He undressed the corpse, and was even more surprised, - the chest of the deceased was the sternum of the unusually hard chest, which was a protective net to protect the most important organ of life, the "heart", which was easily impossible to penetrate, even if it was penetrated with a strong palm force and the heart was removed, the broken sternum should have remained in place, but no. - In the bloody hole, there is no heart, and there is no broken bone in the hole.

Where did these two sternums go? Could it be that the murderer took the heart of the bamboo pole and his sternum at the same time?

It would have been unthinkable to have completed such a trauma.

However, the murderer is done, what kind of murderer is this?

Xiao Jiading thought of that terrible word again - ghost!

He examined other parts of the body, and there were no injuries. The rest of the garment was not damaged. Except for the heart. The gold and silver on his body were still on him, and he was not lost.

Xiao Jiading beckoned to call Ge Lao and Jiao Niang over, Ge Lao had already preliminarily inspected the corpse, but now that he looked closely, he was still taken aback, Jiao Niang was even more frightened by the corpse's heart being dug out, her delicate body trembled, and she said to Xiao Jiading in horror: "I was just joking before, I didn't expect that a fierce beast really bit him to death!" You can't blame me for this! ”

Xiao Jiading looked at her: "How do you know that he was bitten to death by a wild beast?" What other beast can bite off only a man's heart? ”

Jiao Niang was even more flustered, and said, "Xiao Lang, are you suspicious of me?" Suspect that I killed him? ”

"There is no one else in the barren mountains and mountains here except for us people, so all the people here are suspicious, if we can't find this person in time, I'm afraid that the next one to be killed is one of us! - Now, you answer, where were you during the hour when they were patrolling with bamboo poles? Have you ever been out? ”

The bamboo poles were the penultimate wave on duty, and they were followed by Loess and Jiao Niang. Then it was time for them to get up and set off. Before that, the bamboo pole slept in the rough sleeping, so this was the moment when he was most likely to kill him.

The place where they slept was in the wilderness, and it was a dark night where the figure of the opposite person was almost invisible. Xiao Jiading carefully recalled the feeling he felt when he meditated just now, he could feel the danger when he meditated, but he couldn't perceive everyone's movements, so he couldn't know if Jiao Niang got up at night and left the place where he was sleeping at this time.

"I got up late to get there. But I didn't kill him, -- my martial arts are not as good as his, how can I kill him? And it pierced his chest and plucked his heart, I can't do this, I also guess, among us, except for you, Shaoxia, no one can do it! ”

Jiao Niang's words were very suspicious of Xiao Jiading's meaning, which made Ge Lao's face change color, and he scolded loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about? The young man wants to take our lives, he doesn't need to work so hard, he just needs to do it, and none of us here can escape! Including you! ”

This sentence is actually a reminder to Jiao Niang: You speak carefully, it is easy for him to ask for your life. In fact, when Jiao Niang said that, she immediately regretted it, and she was also very scared, afraid that Xiao Jiading would turn her face and make a move, so she couldn't help but take two steps back, and her whole body was covered with a layer of pale black defensive energy. When he heard Elder Ge's words, he immediately thought that even if he made 10,000 preparations, he would have no way to deal with Xiao Jiading, and he didn't have any chance, if he begged for mercy, maybe he would be able to make the other party's subordinates merciful.

So, Jiao Niang immediately unloaded her strength and knelt down with a bang: "I said something wrong, I'm sorry, Shaoxia, please forgive me!" ”

Xiao Jiading stared at her, his pretty face flickering under the torch, and said word by word: "What kind of exercise did you just have, Gonggong defense?" ”

Jiao Niang was even more scared, and said tremblingly: "It was the defense technique taught by the family teacher, the slave family was too scared just now, so I took the liberty to use my skills in front of the young man, I really deserve to die, and I beg the young man to spare his life!" ”

The elder also persuaded: "Young man, I was confused for a while, let her make meritorious contributions?" ”

Xiao Jiading waved his hand and said, "What I'm asking is, why does this defensive technique you cast, why does a layer of black aura emerge?" (To be continued......)
