During the day, Ning Ze was not idle, but still went to the Iron Wing Sect to find Yan Congyun, under the pretext of understanding how the other party could help the people, observing everywhere and searching for useful information.

Xiao Yan obediently pretended to be a tourist and walked around Duzhao County.

Before nightfall, Ning Ze came to Dongcheng alone and found the Shuibo Temple mentioned by the county order.

It was not difficult for him to have a virtual map.

This side is really remote, the nearest house is also half an hour away, and the water temple is on the cliff by the river, surrounded by woods.

It seems normal for murders to occur in such places.

Because it is inaccessible, it is too quiet.

The people of Duzhao County are obviously more taboo about the scene of the murder, and it is estimated that the time from the scene is very short, and this place is abandoned and no one burns incense. Perhaps some beggars used to come back to sleep here, and when they died, they changed to other places and did not dare to come.

Another reason is that the murderer has not been caught, and even the beggar is worried, if he sleeps here, even if there is no ghost of the deceased, if the murderer appears, won't he be killed?

Ning Ze is not afraid, he is used to seeing dead people on the battlefield. Friendly and enemy troops, when was there not a river of blood? If there is really a wronged soul, he will definitely find him, and he will not be safe and sound until now.

As for the murderer, with a force value of 120, he has more system functions and is completely fearless.

The temple is in disrepair, the walls have collapsed in several places, the roof has a few holes, there are weeds all around, and the inside is full of cobwebs and dust at a glance.

The building is not big, only seventy or eighty square meters. The door was open, and inside was a tattered statue of Shui Bo.

said that it was Shuibo, it felt like a crocodile, and then the local people carved it into a little like a dragon, but in Ning Ze's eyes, it seemed to see an ancient dinosaur.

Maybe the local people just saw the dinosaurs, since the encounter with the "Titan Monty Python" a few years ago, Ning Ze suspected that in this world, there are still many ancient creatures in this era, such as dinosaurs and the like, which may not be completely extinct.

And some folk legends about mythical beasts, monsters and the like are estimated to have been born by witnessing ancient creatures.

After all, for the common people, dinosaurs and the like, or the Titan python that Ning Ze saw last time, are unimaginable monsters. Because of their rarity and different forms, can the ancient people who don't know about these things not regard them as mythical beasts or monsters?

To be honest, Ning Ze has also heard a lot of rumors over the years, and all the states and counties in China alone have the so-called saying that they have seen divine beasts or monsters with their own eyes, but Ning Ze has no time to take care of these things, and he is busy enough to deal with government affairs and fight in the east and west.

The various authorities investigated on their own, but could not find any clues.

In modern times, there are all kinds of high-tech, and it is possible that local governments can easily find so-called mythical beasts and monsters to confirm whether they are dinosaurs or other species. In this backward world without any modern technology, it is not easy.

Entering the Shuibo Temple, there are still dried blood stains on the floor of the hall, and there has really been a murder here.

Ning Ze didn't care, and after looking carefully, he saw that the inside of the Shuibo Temple was indeed dirty and messy, and there was nowhere to put his feet, so he went outside to find a dense tree casually, hid it by the shrubs, and sat behind the tree and waited.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Looking through the bushes, I saw a man riding a donkey on a steep mountain road.

The other party was wearing a prefectural official uniform, and he was very cautious as he walked.

This man came to the Shuibo Temple, tied the donkey, looked around and shouted a few times: "Secret envoy, secret envoy?"

It seems that this person is the county magistrate of Duzhao County, Ning Ze didn't reply, just waited behind the tree.

didn't get a response, and the county magistrate of Duzhao County said to himself: "Not there?"

Stretched out his hand to take out a cloth bag from the donkey's back, and bowed a few times to the Shuibo Temple: "There are strange things, there are strange things!"

Then he picked up a very long branch nearby and went directly into the shrine.

It turned out that the twigs were used to pick up the cloth bag and place it on top of the beam.

After that, he bowed to the blood stains on the ground, turned to the statue of Shui Bo and bowed a few more times, and then left the Shui Bo Temple, and quickly rode away on a donkey.

After Ning Ze waited for him to leave, he didn't come out immediately, and waited under the tree for another half an hour.

After making sure that there was no movement, he turned to the Shuibo Temple, and sure enough, he saw the cloth bag placed on the beam.

Pick up the long branch that was placed on the side, poke it lightly, and make the cloth bag fall, catch it and leave quickly.

He didn't rush down the mountain, and after coming out, he went to the cliff near the Shuibo Temple, chose a flat grass to sit down, and opened the cloth bag to check the contents of the contents.

The cloth bag was wrapped in a paper official document, and after it was spread out, it was full of brush characters, clearly writing the information of different rich squires, and according to Ning Ze's requirements, different modes of transportation such as walking, donkey riding, horseback riding, horse-drawn carriages, and ox carts, as well as how far away from these places were written.

I have to say that it is quite hard to be able to do this.

Ning Ze nodded, and wrote down the county order of Duzhao County, which is a good talent, and he can be transferred to Huajun at a time.

According to the information provided by the county order of Duzhao County, there is also a simple map attached, Ning Ze compared it through the virtual map, checked them one by one, and soon found a relatively unique family - the Cai family of Duzhao County.

The family was a maverick, and while the other large families were built in the bustling county, they chose the basin terrain to the north surrounded by mountains and lived in isolation. This family is very wealthy, and the ancestor is said to be a high-ranking official in Dacheng.

Although living an isolated life, the Cai family still has a lot of properties in Duzhao County, which are taken care of by peripheral relatives and have close ties with the Chamber of Commerce.

For Duzhao County, the Cai family is like an independent kingdom, and due to its remote location, it is difficult to get past it.

Therefore, officials in the county generally only interact with relatives outside the Cai family, and rarely have the opportunity to meet the real principal of the other party.

The most important thing is that, according to the calculation of the county order of Duzhao County, the only way to reach the location of the Cai family from here is to cross the mountains and mountains on foot, and the journey is just fourteen or fifteen days.

Ning Ze suddenly narrowed his eyes, there is something wrong with this Cai family!

It seems that to figure out the whole thing, the Cai family is the key.

I can't say, the Iron Wing True Monarch in Yan Congyun's mouth, the real leader of the Iron Wing Sect is in the Cai family!

Of course, there is a certain probability that you guessed wrong. But it's worth looking into it!

The others walked to Cai's house, and it took ten days and half a month to cross the mountains. For themselves, there is a better way to arrive in the fastest time.

Cai's family may not be very far from Duzhao County, but it is slow because the mountain road is difficult to walk.

As long as you give the order to send the hot air balloon from the rear, you can reach it in about three or four days by empty road, and it will be faster if the wind is down.

Racing against time is very important to Ning Ze.

Just as he was thinking, the sound of horses' hooves came out behind him.

Although he was wearing a gauze hat, for the sake of safety, Ning Ze still quickly approached and hidden.

It turned out that the person who came was Xiao Yan, she went to the Shuibo Temple and turned over and dismounted, and shouted a few words in a low voice inside: "Prince, Prince?"

is not an outsider, Ning Ze put his mind at ease: "Alone here!"

Hearing the voice, Xiao Yan hurriedly came over, and when he saw the cloth bag and information in Ning Ze's hand, he knew that the county magistrate had come to Duzhao County: "Lord Wang, have you got the things?"

"Well, the information of Lone Yao has been obtained, and he is ready to go down the mountain together. ”

"Wow!" Xiao Yan agreed.

The two turned around and were about to leave, when a loud sound of water suddenly appeared in their ears.

The sound comes from the rushing river at the base of the cliff.

Ning Ze stopped, came to the edge of the cliff and took a curious look, his eyes suddenly widened, and he was a little incredulous.

Xiao Yan also followed, looked down and looked down, and instantly stiffened his whole body in shock: "Water ...... Shui Bo?!"

She looked at the riverbank below, and then at the Shuibo Temple next to her, and suddenly a large number of goosebumps appeared, and her voice trembled.

Ning Ze was also surprised, because in the river below, there was a monster that was almost identical to the statue in the Shuibo Temple, but it was twice as large as a buffalo, like a giant crocodile, but it looked strange, and the extremely scary monster broke through the water and was rushing towards a nearby buffalo.

The buffalo was an adult and quite athletic. It's just that when I saw the monster, I was also scared and panicked, and I ran away.

However, its nose was looped, tied to a nearby tree with a sturdy rope, and it could not escape.

The monster catches up with the buffalo, bites the bull's head, and drags it into the water with its frantic struggle, and the two behemoths fight in the water, making shocking movements.

The buffalo is actually very combative and should not be underestimated. But there was no power to resist in front of this monster, and soon the blood flowed profusely, and the struggle slowly stopped.

The monster waited for the buffalo to stop struggling and began to rattle at its flesh.

"!" Ning Ze has a good quality, he hasn't said a few swear words for so many years, and now he is so shocked by this scene that he blurts out a national scolding.

Xiao Yan didn't understand what "" meant, and he didn't hear it at all, and was trembling with fright by the scene in front of him.

For her, Shui Bo is a rumored creature, and he has been infinitely deified by the people, how can she not be afraid of seeing it with her own eyes?

Thankfully, there were no other people on the riverbank, save for a buffalo that some hapless family had grazed here.

Otherwise, it will definitely cause riots and cause panic in the entire Duzhao County.

Speaking of which, it's been a few days since I've been here, and I've never heard anyone talk about this monster. It means that this thing is rarely haunted, or it is not seen at the time of haunting.

In any case, if the behemoth that even an adult buffalo can easily prey, if it stays here, it will sooner or later harm the people. Since he was seen by Ning Ze, he must not sit idly by.

Although I don't know the true identity of this monster for the time being, I don't know if it is a unique creature in this world, or if it is the same kind of ancient dinosaurs on the earth, such a terrifying combat power, maybe I can tame it?

Ning Ze, who had caught the colorful tiger, suddenly became active.

In fact, he also regretted before, if he had known that he could subdue powerful wild animals through the functions of the system, he should not have killed those giant pythons.

At the moment, when encountering such a powerful creature, it will definitely be invincible if it is really used on the battlefield.

In particular, the folk have regarded it as a water boy and become a mythical creature.

I know that the myth is false, and Shui Bo is just some kind of strange creature, but the people of this world don't know it! Just imagine, when the two armies are fighting, they suddenly summon Shui Bo, and the enemy army will definitely be terrified!

Submission doesn't look easy, though.

It's so ferocious, even if you have 120 force points, it's a risk, right?
