Mingdeok Temple is located in the south of Feiye City, in the middle of the mountain forest, with an endless sea of trees and mountains in the background.

There is only one mountain trail around, which winds its way to its gates.

At this time, the sun is setting, and the red light is everywhere.

A few pilgrims were leaving in front of the temple.

It was already afternoon, and few people came to burn incense at this time.

For the night in the wilderness is far more dangerous than the day.

At this time, at the gate of Mingde Temple, there was a tall and sturdy half-grown young man.

The young man, dressed in a dark green linen robe, wore a large hat on his head, and a rough short knife on his waist, and approached the mountain gate with brisk steps.

The young man has an ordinary face, but his eyes are bright, and at a glance he knows that he is not from an ordinary family that is malnourished.

But who would have thought that a few months ago, this person was still thin and small, with a weak bean sprout body.

The young man was Wei He, who took advantage of the gap to leave the team.

He ran all the way and wasted a lot of strength before he arrived at Mingde Temple in a short time.

Walking up the gray stone steps, Wei He soon came to a large temple with yellow tiles and red walls.

On the plaque at the main entrance of the temple, it is written in red letters on a black background: Mingde Temple, three big characters.

Two little novices were sweeping the fallen leaves outside the door with brooms, sweeping them into a pile.

Wei He stood outside the door and looked inside, and when the temple entered the door, there was a huge courtyard, and there was a black incense burner surrounded by two people, which was slowly burning a large handful of incense.

There was little smoke left on the incense head, and it seemed that it was about to burn out.

At this time, two more pilgrims arrived in a group and stepped through the temple gate into the courtyard.

Then he bowed to the censer, bowed, and then entered the side hall.

Wei He did not follow the door, but turned to the left and walked around the temple wall into the mountains and forests.

The two novices were sweeping the floor and whispering something, not paying attention to his movements.

Wei Hezu walked around the Mingde Temple and found that the temple was quite newly renovated, and many places were only recently completed.

And the monk's robe on the novice is not badly worked. Obviously not bad for money.

Back at the main entrance of the temple, Wei He was about to enter.

But I just happened to see the gate, and a small group of soldiers walked out of it.

These soldiers were thick and broad-shouldered, tall in size, wearing black leather armor and a sheathed broad-backed sword at their waists, and they were quick and well-trained.

Six soldiers rushed out, protecting a pair of women in the middle.

Among the two women, one in a green skirt and red shoes, tied with a girl's bun bun, followed the other woman step by step. It's obviously a character like a maid.

Another woman, wearing a white veil and a shawl with black hair, and a silver hair ornament looming in her hair.

Even if this woman wore a veil, the temperament revealed in her eyes was gentle and polite, which also made Wei He involuntarily take a few more looks.

From a distance, the core woman among the soldiers was dressed in a white dress, which was spotless, and at a glance, she knew that there were special people in the family who often washed her clothes.

Otherwise, no one will be able to keep their clothes so clean all the time.

Wei He sighed in his heart, this ancient person did not have a washing machine, and he could still maintain this level of cleanliness, so he must have an extraordinary background.

And those soldiers ....

He turned his attention to the six soldiers guarding the woman.

The leather armor on the bodies of these soldiers was engraved with the character Hong. The handwriting is not large, but it is unusually clear and profound.

Soon, the woman, escorted by a group of soldiers, descended down the stone steps, gradually disappeared into the dense forest.

"Tut-tut.... This Hongjiabao private soldier looks different at first glance, and it is really extraordinary. A pilgrim couldn't help but whisper in admiration.

"Good rice and good meat are provided every day, and I heard that Hongjiabao also teaches private soldiers to temper their external skills. Under such conditions, even a waste can be piled up into an elite. The other sighed.

"Isn't that just the elite soldiers piled up alive with money? Now the defenders are thin and weak, and he Hongjiabao still secretly keeps such strong private soldiers, this picture..."

Most of the pilgrims who are still active outside at this time are not ordinary people, and they chatted at this time, and many of them have their own opinions.

At a glance, I could see that Hongjiabao was wrong.

Wei Yiyi didn't say a word, what happened to Hongjiabao had nothing to do with him, he came here only to find the whereabouts of his parents' disappearance.

Walking into the temple gate and entering the courtyard, he quickly found a white-eyed monk passing by.

"This master. ”

He grabbed the monk and looked him up and down.

"The donor is courteous. ”

"I would like to ask, half a year ago, did your temple invite some stone carvers to come to the temple to carve Buddha statues?" Wei He asked in a deep voice.

"Half a year ago?" the old monk thought for a moment, "this is indeed the case." But ....."

.........

.........

.........

At this time, at the foot of Mingdeji Mountain.

A tall man in a straw hat slowly walked up the stone steps up the mountain.

He took out a dark green bamboo tube from his bosom, shook it gently, and leaned close to his ear to listen carefully.

There is a faint sound of wing vibration in the bamboo tube, and the vibration sound is three long and two short, which is very regular.

The man twisted the lid of the bamboo tube, which had a black hole that breathed into it.

He leaned in to the black hole and sniffed.

"There's a scent, and there's one missing here. ”

He has been tracking down the black word worm for a long time, and secretly exterminating all the living people who have come into contact with the black word worm at the end.

It depends on the smelling insects in this bamboo tube.

This smelling insect and the black word insect are natural enemies, specifically feeding on the black word insect, once the black word insect is found, and even the people who have been in contact with the black word worm, it will naturally emit a fragrance.

The aroma is as moist as sandalwood and unforgettable. And the closer you get to the target, the more intense the aroma of the smelling insects becomes.

And the black word worm is even more difficult. Once you come into contact with someone, if you leave dry marks, it will take several months for the breath to dissipate.

The man had already relied on this method to kill three of them who had come into contact with the black letter worm. and disguised the corpse as having been attacked by a beast and died.

With his martial arts, it is not difficult to do this.

The man walked up the stone steps with a relaxed and natural step. His demeanor was leisurely, as if he was no different from the rest of the pilgrims who came to worship the Buddha.

He has this confidence and this confidence.

At the beginning, Zhao Deli was a gangster, but he was affected by the pond fish and died, and the classes he could contact were nothing more than ordinary people.

Even if they are a little stronger, they are just a little stronger low-level members of the gang.

He was the one who had been sent to clean up the vicinity of this place, and he was the one who exterminated these people.

For him, this kind of person is a stronger ant, which can be easily harvested.

In fact, in the entire Feiye City, what can make him jealous is nothing more than those older generation martial artists, or the masters of the big families in the inner city, and the rest, even those small gangs like weeds, are not worth mentioning.

Wei Hezheng pulled the old monk to ask questions, constantly asking about the disappearance of the stonemason half a year ago.

"The stonemasons didn't make it to the temple at all, and disappeared halfway through. The donor asked about this, but the old monk didn't know how to answer. "The old monk is embarrassed.

"Didn't there be a single survivor after that?" Wei He frowned.

"I didn't find that all the stonemasons disappeared halfway, so the Buddha statue in this temple was finally completed by a high-priced stonemason from the outer city. The old monk shook his head.

Wei He asked repeatedly for a while, but there were no clues, but he knew that the stonemasons had disappeared halfway before they arrived at Mingde Temple.

However, from the Mingde Temple Road to Feiye City, there is only less than ten miles in the middle, and there are often passers-by. With so many stonemasons, it is impossible to say that they are not visible, and not even the slightest trace of them cannot be found.

The most likely outcome is that there are traces, but the people who found them at the time were reluctant to publish them.

Wei He was helpless. Spare the old monk.

He walked through the temple, and two large halls were blocked from entering, and the rest were free to pass.

As the sky darkened, there were fewer and fewer pilgrims, and most of them went down the mountain.

Wei He asked a few more monks, but there was still no news, so he had no choice but to leave the temple and walk down the mountain.

The sunset has completely sunk into the sky.

On the steps down the hill of the temple, the cold on both sides is pressing, and the once thorough woods gradually turn into a dark and deep black curtain.

Wei He didn't notice at all, and a faint figure behind him quietly and slowly followed.

He felt a slight chill, and hastened down the mountain.

Suddenly, a small black insect crept out of the crack in the corner of his clothes, and then flapped its wings and flew away.

The man in the back paused slightly, his brows furrowed.

"The aroma is faint...."He picked up the bamboo tube and shook it gently, and found that the aroma was indeed faint.

"It doesn't look like the guy in front. A judgment flashed through his mind. His gaze moved from the front and back.

The man turned and looked in the direction the black worm flew away.

"Huh?"

"No, it's me and the person in front of me here, it's not him, so who is it?

The man's heart lifted, and his eyes fell on Wei He's back again.

He already had some doubts in his heart. So he quickened his pace and approached Wei He.

"This brother stays. ”

He pretended to be a pilgrim and spoke loudly.

Burst!

Suddenly, a handful of white ash was scattered in front of him.

The man's heart tightened, and he was caught off guard, closing his eyes tightly, and almost being dazzled.

However, as a martial arts practitioner, he reacted very quickly, and without waiting for the white ash to enter his eyes, he quickly swept his arms together, and the wind blew away the white ash.

He already knew in his heart that the other party was likely to be aware of his identity, so he was ruthless from his heart, his right leg rose up, and he turned into a whip and whipped towards Wei He.

Unexpectedly, his right leg touched a blade first, the man's expression changed, and he quickly changed his move, pressing down with his right leg, trying to trample on Wei He's instep.

At the same time, the other leg also rose into the air, and spun and kicked sideways towards Wei He's chest.

This is the deadly chain leg that he specializes in.

This leg method can change moves in a row between moves, unpredictable, and constantly alternating between virtual and real, making it difficult to resist.

The man kicked out in a row, kicking and kicking more than ten times quickly.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that there was still someone in front of me, and that person just now didn't know how long he had been running.

"It's so insidious...."

He just closed his eyes for such a short time, and the other party ran away without blinking. Isn't this person a rabbit?

The man quickly descended hatefully, and chased down the steps with all his might.

After a short time, it disappeared at the end of the stone path down the mountain.

At this moment, a man quickly emerged from a cluster of bushes on the right side of the stone path. It was Wei He, who had just hid.

He glanced in the direction the man had left and stood up and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a little clever. A voice suddenly sounded behind Wei He.
