The torches in the distance reflected the faint red light in the sky, and Ning Yue's figure was like a snowflake falling from the sky, falling gently and silently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Twenty-four night holding a torch around to check something, Shen Qing frowned, and kept playing with the folding fan.

"Shen Qing, what's wrong? he ran away again?" Ning Yue asked in a low voice.

"Could it really be Han Zhang?" Shen Qing raised his head hesitantly, his face a little tangled.

"Who the hell is that Han Zhang? look at your expression...... Confused?" Ning Yue came to Shen Qing's side curiously, looking up at the wide fields around her.

"Han Zhang is the world's number one tomb thief and Yu Lang's good friend. Before Yu Lang got acquainted with us, he and Han Zhang could be said to be inseparable.

But later, Han Zhang and Yu Lang had a problem. In Yu Lang's statement, Han Zhang is not convinced, why Yu Lang is famous in the rivers and lakes, but he is like a rat crossing the street, and everyone spurns him.

After a big quarrel, Han Zhang and Yu Lang completely parted ways. It is rumored that Han Zhang traveled overseas, and the art of earth escape became extinct. We just chased here, and there was no hiding place in the open area. But the man disappeared in an instant after throwing out a cloud of water vapor, and I really can't think of anything other than the Earth Escape Technique......"

"If it's the Earth Escape Technique, then it must be Han Zhang?" Ning Yue asked suspiciously.

"It must be!" Shen Qing nodded solemnly.

Ning Yue's eyes swept around sharply, and in his mind, a map of the outskirts of Jinling suddenly appeared, countless information flowed through the map, and the two points of light were exceptionally clear on the map.

"The location of the killer last time was five miles north of here, and Siphon Village was at the center of the two locations. It can't be such a coincidence...... Shen Qing, let's go to Siphon Village and have a look!"

As soon as Ning Yue's words fell, her body had turned into a meteor and swept towards the village not far away. Shen Qing also immediately followed when he heard this, and the twenty-fourth night turned into a torrent and chased in the direction of the two.

Siphon Village is an ordinary small mountain village that rises at sunrise and rests on the rise. Even if it was only an hour after dark, the sparks in the village were only sparkling.

Whether it is Ning Yue, Shen Qing, Qiong Xing, or Twenty-four Nights, they are all top masters in the martial arts, and naturally they will not attract chickens and dogs. Quietly entered the village, without making a sound, and the lights of the houses were not lit by their arrival.

"It's all ordinary people, nothing suspicious!" quickly gathered after the twenty-four nights were dispersed. If there is a problem with the Siphon Village, then their arrival will definitely cause the other party to be alerted.

"Huh, there's a light there—" Joan Xing's eyes skimmed, and he saw a bright fire far away from the village, which looked like a large family. Ning Yue and Shen Qing glanced at each other, and their toes swept towards the firelight.

This is a huge manor, and three carriages can be placed side by side on a wide bluestone road, which is connected to a closed gate at the far end of the passage, and two bright lanterns are hung at the door.

"Chuangyun Courtyard?Sounds familiar?" Ning Yue asked suspiciously, touching her chin.

"Last time you asked if there was anyone famous nearby, I was stinging you about it. The owner of this Chuangyun Courtyard was originally a eunuch in the court and served two generations of emperors. Twenty years ago, when he returned to his hometown, the first emperor took pity on him and worked hard all his life, so he built this Chuangyun Villa for him, and gave him 500 acres of fertile land for him to spend his old age in peace. ”

"Twenty years ago, the old man returned to his hometown, this eunuch's life is really hard!" Ning Yue was a little surprised, people in this era generally do not live long, fifty has reached the point of knowing the destiny of heaven, and ordinary people live beyond sixty even if they die without regrets. And there is no retirement age now, and those who can return to their hometowns are basically sixty, plus twenty years, isn't this old eunuch seventy or eighty?

Ning Yue stepped forward and knocked on the door, but she didn't expect that soon there would be footsteps inside, and a simple old man in his forties slowly opened the door. Seeing dozens of people holding torches outside, he was immediately startled, if it weren't for Ning Yue's extraordinary demeanor, and the twenty-four nights were not hateful, it is estimated that they would be misunderstood as bandits.

The old man's eyesight was not bad, at least at first glance, he guessed that Ning Yue and Shen Qing were the leaders. His eyes were a little evasive, and he bowed down tremblingly, "Two sons...... Come here late at night...... What's the matter?"

"Oh, no! We were originally looking for the Jiang Yang thief, but we chased them here, but we lost the other party's trace! The Jiang Yang thief has no humanity and kills people unscrupulously. You are a big family within a radius of ten miles, so come and take a look, and by the way, remind you to take precautions!"

"Ah, Jiangyang thieves?" the old man was obviously startled, "There are Jiangyang thieves in Jinling......?" That ......"

"Laifu, what's the matter...... cough cough cough ......" An old but majestic voice sounded from behind him, and an old man in an embroidered gold robe walked slowly between the cracks in the door, supported by two maids.

The old man looked very old, and he probably wouldn't have been able to stand up without the two maids. Even if someone is holding it, the figure is like a willow branch in the wind.

But the old man's eyes were sharp and bright. The snow-white hair is combed in a mess, and standing like this gives people a kind of oppression from above. The old man held his cane, slowly moved in front of the person, his eyes swept over the faces of Ning Yue and the others, and when he saw Ning Yue's face, his whole body shook suddenly, and a kind smile suddenly bloomed in his eyes.

"Good, good, good, all of them are good dolls with talents! Come on, come on, come in and sit ......"

"Cao Gong......" Laifu was about to speak, but was stopped by the old man with a look.

"I'm going to be bullied when I'm old? Besides, my lord, I don't have much ability in my life, and it all depends on these eyes to live so long and live out my old age in peace. Good guys and bad guys, I can guess eight or nine without a glance. Two sons, don't stand, come in......"

"That'...... It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" Ning Yue bowed slightly, and unceremoniously stepped into the door and saw the colorful layout inside at first glance.

"Huh, is there joy in the old man's family?" Ning Yue asked curiously.

"Seven days later is the old man's 80th birthday, after a lifetime of hard work, he will spend a lot of money for himself, and then call the neighbors and villagers, the younger generations of the clan to gather together......"

"Then I'll congratulate the old man in advance on Furu Donghai Shoubi Nanshan!" Ning Yue's old man was overjoyed, and the wrinkles on his face were almost piled up.

"By the way, which doll are you? I look at your face a little familiar, I wonder if it's my old friend?"

"Younger generation Ning Yue, ancestral home in Suzhou!"

"Ning Yue's ancestral hometown?" there was a trace of confusion in the old man's eyes, "The old man was on an errand in the palace twenty years ago, your face is very similar to the people in the palace, and I thought you were from the capital, so I think it was the old man who admitted his mistake." What are you talking about Jiangyang thieves just now? Jinling has Shen Qianqiu's heroes in charge, and no one has dared to make trouble in Jinling for a long time...... What is the identity of that Jiangyang thief?"

"Twelfth floor! Have you ever heard of the old man?"

"Twelfth floor? Let me think about it...... That's fifteen years old...... Hey, don't be inhibited, you can go anywhere you want. Don't look at this Zhuangzi as big, but in fact, there are not many people, and we haven't seen many places for several years...... It's rare to come to so many people Zhuangzi is lively all of a sudden, you are free......" The old man was helped to the recliner and immediately greeted the twenty-four nights at will.

Sure enough, as the old man said, don't look at his age, but his brain is abnormally good, and his eyes are poisonous, and his mind is even more unfathomable. The purpose of his group was nothing more than to search the traces of the twelfth floor, and the other party took the initiative to signal without breaking it. This heart is either fearless or clear-of-heart.

"Ning Doll, has anyone in your family ever been an official?" the old man asked without giving up.

"Yes!" Ning Yue suddenly looked proud, "My grandfather was the head of our village back then, and he said that he was the head of our village in twenty or thirty households! Originally, he wanted to train my father to be a bigger official, at least he could be a county magistrate or something." Pity...... My father ended up being a teacher...... "Ning Yue's nonsense came almost as soon as he opened his mouth, and the old man was still relishing it at first, but when he got to the back, his eyes were a little embarrassed......

"Captain?"

"yes, isn't it an official?"

"No, the chief belongs to the official, not to the official. Those with rank are called officials, and the chief is the person selected by the county government to manage the countryside for the county government, and most of them are elected by the villagers themselves. Except for your grandfather, there is no more?"

"No, my grandfather is the eldest official of our ancestors in the eighteenth generation!" Ning Yue thought for a while and said seriously, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes that he didn't understand. In fact, Ning Yue didn't even know who his grandfather was.

After a while, the twenty-four nights gradually gathered, and they silently shook their heads at Shen Qing and Ning Yue. Ning Yue smiled indifferently and slowly stood up, "I disturbed the old man tonight, and I wish the old man a long life again......!

"Oh...... The night is indeed late...... Then the decay will not leave you. As for security...... Hehehe, I'm a lot older, what are you afraid of. ”

The old man watched Ning Yue and his party walk out of the door, and the smile on his face gradually retracted. His eyes flickered and showed a reminiscing thought, "Obviously with such a face...... Don't...... Is it really just a coincidence?"

Not long after leaving the Chuangyun Courtyard, it met with the people of Jinling Shen Mansion again. But the news she got made Ning Yue's heart sink. Hundreds of killers, in addition to those killed on the spot, were also successfully captured dozens of times, but all of them committed suicide by taking poison.

But even if they were captured alive, it would probably be useless. Qiong Xing, the gold medal killer, didn't know where the twelfth floor was hiding, and it was impossible for this group of ordinary killers to know.

"Qiong Xing, what's wrong with you? Shen Qing has been thinking all the way?" Shen Qing's eyes have hardly left Qiong Xing's body since he came out, and Qiong Xing naturally couldn't hide Shen Qing's eyes from his preoccupied look.

"There's a conjecture, but I don't know if it's right or not. In the past, when I was killing the building, I overheard the sect leaders say that every fifteenth month, the Wheel King would go to a secret meeting. I guess it was supposed to be a secret party on the twelfth floor. And the next fifteen ...... It seems to be ...... seven days later" (To be continued.) )
