"What a subtle Qimen Dunjia technique, it seems that we really didn't find the wrong place!"

An old man with a compass in his hand looked at the misty mountains and forests in front of him, and his wrinkled face couldn't hide the admiration in his heart.

"Old Guo, do you think that the little boy will be lost in this mountain forest?"

Beside him, a black-faced man with a beard on his back and a beard said respectfully to the old man.

"If the old man is not bad, the little boy is indeed very likely to be in this mountain forest. The old man stroked his long white beard and said.

"Then what are we waiting waiting for here?" the black-faced man said eagerly when he heard this. "Now that the little boy has been missing for more than a month, if the whereabouts of the little boy can't be found, you and I will be unable to bear the wrath of the grandfather and the lady. ”

"Do you think I don't want to find the little boy as soon as possible? But the maze in front of me is intricate, and once we rush in, we alone will inevitably lose our way and be trapped in it. ”

The old man glanced at the black-faced man and the immobile army of black-robed guards behind him.

"In that case, we might as well burn this ......maze directly," the black-faced man said ruthlessly.

"Idiot!"

When the old man heard this, he was suddenly angry, and he took out the cane on his waist and knocked on the head of the black-faced man, who did not dare to resist, so he could only protect his head with both hands, and let the old man stop when he was tired of knocking.

"It's easy to burn a fire, but if the little boy is really inside, do you want to burn the little boy to death together? Besides, the fire in the mountain is so big that even all of us will die!"

"Guo Lao, it's me who didn't think it through, I was reckless and reckless......" The black-faced man hurriedly apologized and begged for mercy.

"In the early years, my grandfather asked you to read more books and understand things, but the result? Your impatient and reckless nature has not changed at all, and sooner or later you will be planted on it. The old man took a breath and said with some hatred.

"Guo Lao is right, the younger generation will definitely change it in the future! It will definitely change!" said it, and the black-faced man was busy changing the topic. "But the most important thing for us at the moment is to find the little boy, may I ask Guo Lao, do you have any solution to this maze?"

"The solution is not difficult, as long as I am given some time, I can think of a way to solve this maze!"

The old man was holding a pearl of wisdom.

Sure enough.

The old man took the compass and circled around in front of the mountain and forest maze, and then he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, and I don't know how long it took for the old man to finally open his eyes.

"I see. ”

"Guo Lao?!"

The black-faced man who had been silently waiting beside him rushed to the old man as soon as possible.

"Everyone is lined up and ready to follow me, remember, no matter what happens along the way, you must follow in my footsteps. ”

After the explanation, the old man took the compass with a serious expression and took the lead into the mountain forest in front of him.

During the march, the black-faced man who followed behind Guo Lao couldn't help but look around curiously, but looking around, he didn't find anything special about the surrounding mountains and forests, even so, he didn't go against Guo Lao's warning, because he knew that Guo Lao would never be untargeted.

After a while, the sharp-eyed black-faced man suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.

"Old Guo, look, there seems to be someone lying over there. ”

"I saw it, but it wasn't a person, it was two badly decomposed corpses. ”

The old man said with a solemn expression.

"What, should it be ......" The black-faced man's face changed instantly.

"Shut up!"

The old man glared at the black-faced man fiercely, and then cautiously stepped forward to investigate.

It wasn't until he saw the two badly decomposed headless corpses on the ground that the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not the right size. ”

"Definitely. ”

The black-faced man stared at the two headless corpses and nodded thoughtfully.

"And I think I've seen these two guys somewhere. ”

"Have someone search the neighborhood carefully and report any suspicious signs as soon as they are found. The old man immediately commanded. "But it's important to remember that no one is allowed to leave my sight. ”

"Yes!"

The black-faced man nodded and gestured to the Xuan-robed armor guards behind him, and the next moment the Xuan-robed armor guards scattered and searched for each other.

"Report! Two rotting and blurred heads were found here. ”

"Reported! A dagger was found here. ”

"Report! I found a strangely shaped scimitar and dagger here......"

“......”

Soon, the Xuanpao armor guard in charge of the search reported the findings to the old man and the black-faced man one by one.

"I know who they are. ”

Looking at the dagger scimitar presented by the Xuanrobe armor guard, the black-faced man said with a heavy face.

"They are the people of the second son. ”

"Are you sure?" said the old man solemnly.

"I'm sure it's not a blame-all-trade. The black-faced man pointed to the weapons on the ground. "At first, I thought those two headless corpses were familiar, but when I saw these weapons, I completely remembered that I had seen them once next to the second son, because these two people were very distinctive. ”

"Did you notice the incisions on the necks of the two corpses?" said the old man with a solemn expression.

"Of course, the incision in their necks was unusually smooth, and judging by where they fell, they should have been beheaded head-to-head head-on. The black-faced man said in a solemn tone. "From this, you can see that the person who killed them is a master, a master who makes me feel creepy. ”

"As far as I know, the little boy doesn't have such skills. The old man said.

"Yes, I have also taught Xiao Gongzi for a while, and I can be sure that Xiao Gong does not have such skills. The black-faced man said.

"So, it seems that someone saved the little boy. The old man narrowed his eyes and said.

"Perhaps. The black-faced man was ambiguous and didn't dare to assert.

"Gather the men, let's get ready to meet this man. ”

The old man took the compass and stared at the mountain road ahead.

Meanwhile.

Chen Ji stood at the entrance of the village in a daze, thinking that Xia Fan said before he left that someone was coming.

It's not that he didn't want to follow Xia Fan to understand the situation, but he couldn't catch up with the other party's footsteps at all, and lost the trace of the other party in the blink of an eye, but after going around in a circle, he returned to the village entrance.

Who is coming?

Chen Ji thought to himself.

According to his guess, the person who came was either someone sent by his second brother or someone sent by his parents, after all, he had been missing for too long.

Besides, who cares if he lives or dies?

After this incident, Chen Ji reflected on his reckless behavior of leaving the house without permission more than once during his recuperation.

Say you regret it?

He has no regrets.

Because only profound lessons can spur a person's growth.

This was the first lesson he learned when he was eight years old.
