Chapter 666: The Dead

Yan Xiaotian said: "Before June last year, there was only one person on duty on this side of the Treasure Pavilion, but later I increased the number of patrols to three, mainly to make them brave each other. ”

I said, "It's not about the numbers, it's about the time." The second master also said that in September of the previous year and January last year, someone had picked the lock, which coincided with the time when Li Bingshen was on duty. ”

After speaking, I asked Liu Shangang again: "Are there only those two scratches around the keyhole?" ”

Liu Shangang: "The deepest ones are those two, and the other scratches are relatively shallow, probably drawn by the key in the early years." If the other party picks the lock frequently, there should be more scratches in the lock cylinder. However, this lock has been around for many years, and there should be a lot of rust in the lock cylinder, and if the lock is removed, the lock cylinder will be finished. ”

Yan Xiaotian: "You can't break the lock, the Treasure Pavilion is under the management of the Torture Hall, if you want to remove the lock, you also need the Torture Hall to nod, this is the rule of Baiwu Mountain, and I can't go beyond it." ”

I nodded: "If you don't dismantle it, don't dismantle it, I think, if the person who picked the lock was Li Bingshen, he wouldn't have only come in twice, and there should be a lot of scratches in the lock cylinder." By the way, Yan Xiaotian, apart from not losing anything, are there any other changes in this place, such as the arrangement of various items, is there anything different from the original. ”

Yan Xiaotian smacked his tongue: "I don't see any obvious changes." But since the man had come in again and again, why hadn't he stolen anything from here, and what did he want? ”

Liang Houzai: "I think the reason why he came in was not because he fell in love with the magic weapons here. Maybe he was looking for something, but he never found it. ”

I thought about it, Wen Yan Xiaotian: "Is there any powerful magic weapon hidden in Baiwu Mountain?" ”

Yan Xiaotian pondered for a long time and shook his head: "Powerful magic weapon...... It seems that there are only a few things, they are all kept in the hands of the hall masters and the elders, and I also have some in my hands, and in places like the Treasure Pavilion, there are some things that are not in the flow. ”

Liang Houzai also asked him: "Is there anything else besides magic weapons...... Belch...... How can I say it, the more important things, such as the transmission of tokens or something? ”

Yan Xiaotian said: "The token of our Baiwu Mountain is only a handful of Heavenly Rulers, and all the people in my sect know it. However, for such a thing, it is best to ask the master, he has been in charge of Baiwu Mountain for a long time, and there are some more secret things that only the master and another hermit elder know. ”

The second master said: "The old master has been resuming his cultivation wholeheartedly recently, and now that he is in retreat, it is best not to disturb him." ”

The old master is in retreat? This is more troublesome, our people in the Soul Village never retreat, but I also know that it is very dangerous to rush to disturb the people in retreat, because you don't know what the situation of the people in the retreat is, maybe the old master just hit a bottleneck, just to break through the level wholeheartedly, and we just happened to disturb him at this time, he is distracted, he may go mad.

Liang Houzai couldn't help frowning, he scratched his scalp, and asked Yan Xiaotian again: "Then think about it again, is there anything particularly mysterious in Baiwu Mountain that can't be easily seen?" ”

Yan Xiaotian also scratched his scalp: "It seems to be gone, I remember...... Oh, yes, there may be. ”

Several of us all looked at Yan Xiaotian blankly, Yan Xiaotian pondered for a while, and said: "I remember hearing from the master in the early years that during the Tang Dynasty, the loess slope collapsed and crushed the main hall, and later when the main hall was rebuilt, it was ......."

Before he could finish speaking, the second master suddenly waved his hand to interrupt him.

Yan Xiaotian and I looked at the second master at the same time, and saw the second master make a silent gesture, and then he put his whole body on the door panel, listening to the movement outside.

"Wang Lei, six o'clock!"

The second master said this quickly to Wang Lei, and Wang Lei ran out of the building in an instant, his speed was too fast, his explosive power was too strong, and even the wooden ground was trampled by him.

The second master beckoned to us and rushed out as well.

With the help of the ever-bright lights on the road, I saw Wang Lei rushing to a low building in the northwest like lightning, and at the same time a wide figure jumped out of it.

That person's speed was also very fast, I could only distinguish a vague shadow, but compared to Wang Lei, he was still more than a step slower, and he was caught up by Wang Lei in less than a second.

He seemed to feel Wang Lei's breath, stopped on the spot, and put his hand into his arms. But before he could take out the things in his arms, Wang Lei came to him and slapped his heavenly spirit cover, Wang Lei's strength I have seen, and the man was slapped to the ground before he had time to resist.

Then Wang Lei stepped forward, grabbed his shoulders, and pressed him to the ground.

I and the second master rushed all the way to Wang Lei's side, at this time the person he pressed to the ground was twisting his body to break free, Wang Lei's cardiopulmonary function was not good, while pressing the person, while panting, the second master immediately stepped forward, with his knees to the person on the ground, and grabbed his hands, firmly controlled him. Wang Lei stepped aside and tore a gap in the fake skin on his neck.

From the gap in the fake skin, I could clearly see Wang Lei's blood-colored muscles, which were constantly steaming, and I could feel the temperature nearly a meter away from him.

Wang Lei gasped and said to me: "I dissipate the heat energy. ”

I didn't say anything, I walked straight to the second master, and turned the people on the ground over with the second master.

It was at this time that Yan Xiaotian and the others ran to our side, and Xian'er didn't come with them, so she didn't know what to do.

Yan Xiaotian looked at the people who were controlled by me and Second Master, and immediately frowned: "Who are you, why are you wearing the Taoist robe of Baiwu Mountain?" ”

The clothes on that person's body were indeed the clothes that only the beginner disciples of Baiwu Mountain had, but they looked dirty and old, and there were two holes in the knees. He stared at Yan Xiaotian deadly, without saying a word, just staring like this.

I reached into the man's arms and poked them twice, and I found a pistol with a muffler.

Liu Shangang came up to me to take a look at it and said, "The gun type is old enough, APB, made in the former Soviet Union." ”

I handed the pistol to Liu Shangang, who pulled out the magazine and looked at it, and said, "Three bullets, one of which is a dud." This guy must have been in Baiwu Mountain for a long time, and there has been no ammunition supply during this time. Well, it is estimated that it was the funeral mercenary who escaped the pursuit during the last Baiwu Mountain Purge. He should have a nameplate on him. ”

I dug into the man's pocket, and sure enough, I found a nameplate that read: Burial - 2321.

I stared into the man's eyes and asked, "What's your name?" ”

He had been staring at Yan Xiaotian just now, and now his eyes moved to my side again, and there was a little nervousness in his eyes, but in addition to nervousness, there was also a determination to die.

The second master shook him: "Ask you, speak quickly!" ”

At this moment, the man suddenly smiled at me, and I immediately had a bad feeling, and then I saw the muscles in his jaw tremble, and blood immediately ran down the corners of his mouth.

This guy bites off his tongue!

The second master saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly took out a hand to pinch his mouth open.

Just biting off his tongue, a person is not enough to die, at most he will faint temporarily because of the pain, but when the second master pinched his mouth open, his body trembled violently, and he ran out of breath in just two or three seconds.

Liu Shangang hurried over, shone the man's mouth with a flashlight, and then shook his head: "It's poison, he knew that he couldn't escape, so he committed suicide by taking poison." ”

I said, "Where did he get the poison?" The second master grabbed him just now, and he didn't have a chance to take poison. ”

Liu Shangang: "I also heard from Lao Bao that the mercenaries of the Funeral Sect have implanted poison capsules in their tongues, and as long as they bite the tip of their tongues, the toxins can take effect." ”

The second master laid the man flat on the ground, then scraped his eyelids to make him close his eyes, and then said to us: "This person's anti-reconnaissance ability is very strong, that is, when he entered the low building, he made a little noise, so I could find him." Alas, these burial mercenaries are a bunch of dead soldiers. ”

Liang Houzai touched his chin, looked at the corpse on the ground and said, "Could it be ...... The person who picked the lock was not Lee Byung-shin, but him? But why did he come along, was he worried about what we would find, so he came to take a look? ”

I shook my head: "This guy appeared out of nowhere, who knows what he wants to do." By the way, where is Xian'er? ”

Luo Fei responded to me: "When she came out, she ran the fastest, but she changed direction halfway and didn't know where to go." ”

Xian'er left the team halfway, did she find something we didn't notice? But it stands to reason that it shouldn't, what else can escape the eyes of the second master and Liu Shangang?

I was wondering in my heart, and I saw Xian'er coming from a distance, and I waved my hand at Xian'er: "Xian'er, what are you doing?" ”

Xian'er didn't respond to my words, she kept frowning, as if she was thinking about something.

It wasn't until she was about to walk up to me that I raised my chin at her again, "Why did you go?" ”

Xian'er said with some uncertainty: "I just ...... It seemed to feel a very familiar demonic aura, but when I caught up with it, it disappeared again. Tsk, I always think I've seen that demonic aura somewhere, but I can't remember where I've seen it. ”

I looked at Yan Xiaotian: "Are there still monsters guarding in Baiwu Mountain?" ”

Yan Xiaotian immediately shook his head: "No, there are no monsters in Baiwu Mountain." ”

Liang Houzai clasped his hands and said with a puzzled expression: "If there is really a demonic aura, Brother Dao should be the first to perceive it, Xian'er, could you have been mistaken just now?" ”

Xian'er shook her head: "I can't be mistaken, that demonic aura appeared at the moment when Youdao rushed through the low building, but it seems to have appeared for a moment, and then disappeared." But where have I seen it? ”

I thought back to the situation just now, and when I rushed past the low building, the Qi field around me seemed to change in an instant, but I didn't feel it carefully, and I didn't know how it had changed.

But I believe Xian'er's words, although she is indeed not in tune at times, she will never talk nonsense in this kind of matter.

Liang Houzai said: "First it was a mercenary, and now it is demonic, it seems that there are a lot of messy things mixed into Baiwu Mountain." But I couldn't understand why I could let them in when there were fierce gods guarding the gate. Could it be that the mercenaries and monsters were all left out during the last purge? ”

Yan Xiaotian: "No, we searched on the carpet at the beginning, so there should be no omissions." ”

Liang Houzai: "This shows that there is a problem with the searcher, and Li Bingshen also participated in the search, right?" ”

Yan Xiaotian said, "Except for a few elders, almost all the people from the sect participated in the search. ”

Liang Houzai lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked Yan Xiaotian: "Every person who patrols, no matter where they patrol, should have to sign in, right?" ”
