Chapter 268: Dongtian Palace
Lotus Village is more than 300 miles away from Emperor Fengyan, because it is close to the imperial capital, this village can be described as extremely prosperous, bigger than ordinary towns!
And when Xiao Yuan and the others rushed to this village, they couldn't help frowning!
At this time, it was broad daylight, the scorching sun was shining, and then the village chief closed the door and closed the cracks, and there was no one on the street, even the land of wind and water was deserted!
"What's the matter, are all the people gone?" Xiao Yuan said to himself suspiciously!
Seeing the appearance of the village, Lou Xiaoyue's willow eyebrows also frowned!
This mission was personally assigned to them by Yan Jiuyang, and they must find out the truth, otherwise they will all be punished, so Xiao Yuan took it very seriously, and brought Lou Xiaoyue, Chu Li and the others over!
In fact, the punishment is small, the important thing is to let Yan Jiuyang see his strength! And this naturally also has the meaning of Yan Jiuyang testing Xiao Yuan!
"Lord Shangshu, there have been ten strange murders in our village, and now the people in the village don't dare to go out during the day!" Everyone was silent, but the village chief who got the news that Lord Shangshu had already arrived, hurriedly ran to meet Xiao Yuan and the others!
"The deceased in the ten murders all died in the same way?There are strange runes on their bodies??It looks like weathered dead wood?" Seeing the village chief running over, Xiao Yuan asked directly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Yes...!"
"Take me to see the place where the murder happened recently!" Xiao Yuan said again, looking a little excited.
"My lord, please come with me!" The village chief didn't dare to say anything, so he walked straight towards the village with Xiao Yuan and the others.
It didn't stop until I turned a few alleys and came to a dilapidated temple.
"Lord Shangshu, this is it, this temple was abandoned ten years ago, but when I passed by here this morning, I saw two dead bodies, the same as the previous one, and I was so scared that I still don't possess my body!" The village chief's voice was a little hoarse, obviously
I have palpitations.
You must know that almost all the people living in this village are ordinary people, and only a few people who practice martial arts are at most only in the realm of samurai and martial artists!
Therefore, ten murders occurred in just one month, which made all the villagers fearful, including this village chief, who looked around when he went out during the day, for fear that something terrible would follow him!
"Where are those two corpses now, take the official to take a look!" Xiao Yuan nodded, and his finger pointed out a pillar of light, enveloping the village chief!
Xiao Yuan poured soft spiritual power into the village chief's body, causing his frightened mood to calm down instantly!
Feeling that his mind was instantly quieter, the village chief looked surprised, but he didn't dare to hesitate at the moment, and walked towards the village's Yizhuang with Xiao Yuan and the others!
At this time, Yizhuang was surrounded by soldiers from the Criminal Department, and the two corpses were also guarded by more than a dozen soldiers from the martial arts realm!
As soon as Xiao Yuan came, he showed his Shang Shu order, and the soldiers of the Criminal Department did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly welcomed Xiao Yuan and the others in!
When everyone saw two corpses that were shriveled to dead wood and covered in strange runes, they all looked at each other!
Especially Xiao Yuan, Lou Xiaoyue, Li Han.... A different expression flashed across their faces!
"Could it be him?" Xiao Yuan muttered to himself, "But why did he kill so many people?"
"My lord, are you talking about Xiangtian Song?" Although Xiao Yuan's voice was low, it could not escape Lou Xiaoyue's ears, and she said seriously at the moment.
"Not bad.. Xiao Yuan also did not shy away from saying.
Because the runes on the deceased's body are too similar to the sermons used by Xiang Tiange, just like Xiang Fei who was killed by him before, they are almost identical!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuan's heart was filled with joy, at least in this way, he could be sure that Xiang Tiange was still alive!
"My lord, I have seen this rune, it seems to be an evil coming from the border of the Eastern Regions of the Great Yan Dynasty. Teach!That's what they're talking about!" After following Duan Nangong to take a look at the corpse, he spoke.
"The Eastern Regions of the Great Yan Dynasty? What is the name of the sect?" Xiao Yuan frowned, he didn't expect that this Nangong actually knew the sermon, but listening to the meaning of those words, it had nothing to do with Xiang Tiange at all!
"If the humble guess is right, it should be called the Eastern Heavenly Palace...!" Duan Nangong said solemnly after confirming the runes on the deceased's body again!
"Dongtian Palace?" Duan Nangong's words shocked Xiao Yuan, you must know that Dongtian Palace is the top force between heaven and earth at the same level as Nantian Palace and Beitian Palace! Teach?
Besides, isn't it only the Heavenly Palace Daowen of the Northern Heavenly Palace that has such runes? Could it be that the same is true of the Eastern Heavenly Palace? If this is true? Isn't Xiang Tiange really dead?
Ao Jiu, Luo Kai, Chu Li, Li Han, and the village chief didn't speak, because they didn't know if what Duan Nangong said was true!
Only Lou Xiaoyue stood up and said slowly: "Yes, this is indeed very similar to the runes of the Eastern Heavenly Palace! There are some surprises with the Dao of the Northern Heavenly Palace, please see, my lord, these runes always exude an unusual atmosphere, and they are meandering, not as vigorous and powerful as the Dao of the Beitian Palace!"
"The landlord's order is reasonable!" Although the current Lou Xiaoyue has not yet become the first commander, she is already worthy of this title! Although Duan Nangong said this, a trace of surprise flashed in the corner of his eyes, obviously not understanding why Lou Xiaoyue knew so clearly about the matter of the East Heavenly Palace.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan's eyes also carefully scanned the runes on the deceased's body, only to find that it was really a little different from Xiang Tiange's, and he frowned at the moment, and sighed: "It seems that he is really dead.....!"
"My lord, people can't be resurrected after death....!" Lou Xiaoyue was about to persuade Xiao Yuan, but was interrupted by Xiao Yuan waving his hand!
"Xiaoyue, are you interested in playing a game of cat and mouse?" I saw Xiao Yuan wave his hand and smile lightly!
"Oh, how do you want to play?" Lou Xiaoyue also smiled meaningfully.
"Li Han, you immediately go back and mobilize 3,000 men and horses from Pingxi, and guard all the entrances and exits of the village and hidden places! But all those who are suspicious will be taken down! Ao Jiu led the old six orders, led enough people, and hid in every household in the village tonight! We will arrest this murderer tonight!"
Xiao Yuan didn't answer Lou Xiaoyue, but arranged it directly to the people on the side!
"As for Master Duan, you can stay here and help us take care of these two corpses, this is important evidence!" Then, Xiao Yuan said to Duan Nangong again.
"Obey...!" In the face of such an arrangement, Duan Nangong actually had no objection at all!
He is a martial arts powerhouse, and he actually arranged to guard the corpse here, obviously Xiao Yuan did it on purpose, but he didn't refute it at all, but seemed to be very willing to do so!
At that moment, after Xiao Yuan arranged everything, he left with a group of people, leaving only Duan Nangong and his men!
