In the summer, summer and August, the southern region of Jiuyanzong is thousands of miles away, and the river is cut off on the boundary of one million square kilometers, and part of the riverbed is even exposed.

It had not rained for dozens of days, the sky was cloudless, and the scorching sun was relentlessly radiating heat. It was like fire on the ground. When people walk on the road in the field, they will feel smoke in their throats and feel hungry and thirsty. According to the astrologer, the drought will continue for some more time, and without water, everyone will simply live in misery.

But who would have thought that on this day, there would be a sudden change in the wind and clouds, the clouds in the sky rolling, and the thunder roaring, it turned out to be the rhythm before the storm.

The peasants were ecstatic to run out, and some rushed to the ridges of the fields, ready to meet this expensive autumn rain, but this time it was only thunder and no rain, and the thunder was always ringing, but not even a drop of rain had fallen. Such a scene has not been seen in thousands of years, and the peasants continue to be sad, and the people of the city are amazed.

This matter didn't mean much to the common people, but no one thought that many masters in the Jiuyan Sect would be shocked.

At the time of this thunderous earthquake, in the depths of the stretching peaks where the sect of the Jiuyan Sect was located, on an isolated mountain peak somewhere, a white-bearded old man stopped cultivating and walked away from his small building with a solemn expression, looking at the southern sky in a daze.

Around the small building, there were some people standing respectfully, these people were richly dressed, obviously they were quite status, but at this time in front of the old man, it was indescribable deference, at this time this large group of people did not know how long they had been standing, some people were even trembling slightly, but none of them dared to say a word, everyone was respectfully waiting for the old man's speech.

However, the old man seemed to be quite anxious, and after looking at the direction of the thunder coming from the south for a long time, he sighed and said: "The thunder on the dry land, there are powerful people entering the country, is this matter a joy or a worry for my Jiuyan Sect?"

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the weather has turned cooler, but the cool weather is more comfortable, and Yuezhou City, which is also located in the southern region of Jiuyanzong, finally ushered in the first rain of autumn. Maybe it's been a drought for too long, this rain has a feeling of not being able to catch it, the rain has been going on and on, from morning to afternoon has not stopped, the originally dry ground has become green through the infiltration of the rain, has grown a piece of velvet grass, although it is still only a trace of green, but it has dyed the whole earth into a piece of green, but also let a large area of land recover a little vitality.

With the greenery, people are interested, and despite the rain, the people of Yuezhou City still go out of the city in groups of three or five to go out of the city in groups to go on an outing in the silky rain.

Yuezhou City is the capital of the Bronze Sect Yue Lanzong, with a population of about tens of thousands, and it is also a big city with a few nearby, all kinds of wine shops and tea houses in the city, shops and inns are readily available, and the two main streets in the city are all occupied by shops, which seems to be very prosperous. Booming commerce has brought great popularity, and the economy within a radius of 100 miles is centered on the city of Yuezhou.

There are also four or five small towns around Yuezhou City, these small towns are like a few servants, providing services to Yuezhou City, there are many such towns in the Xuanjie Continent, there is a name called Servant City, which means that it is a subsidiary city that provides services to a main city.

Because it is some distance from the sea, the usual demon clan crimes can rarely affect here, and the entire Yuezhou City is still peaceful and peaceful, and the social security is also very good.

However, there has also been a head-scratching incident in the city recently, and I don't know what happened, it was for a while that the city inexplicably reported several cases of missing persons.

This is something that has not happened for many years, for a time there was chaos in the city, and everything was said, and in order to calm the chaos of the people, the city lord gave an order that the matter must be investigated.

So when it was almost dusk, Yuan Zhutou took two officials out of the city, and the target was the red bean valley ten miles south of the city.

Because of the several disappearances, it is said that they are all in this area, and there are two disappearances that are witnessed, and these two times are very coincidental, both of which are people who heard the cries for help, and then quickly disappeared. Therefore, Yuan Zhutou decided to take two officials out of the city and went here to investigate the situation.

Although the rain was not heavy, it did not end, and although they were all dressed in robes, the clothes of the three of them were still soaked after walking out of the city for a while, especially the ground had become a little muddy now, and they would slip if they were not careful, which made the journey less comfortable.

"Damn my God, it's not over yet!" scolded one of the officials, not remembering that his family was still kneeling in the courtyard praying for rain.

"Xiao Li, don't say it, this rain is also beneficial, at least if someone commits another crime, we can also make it easier for us to track. The old servant next to him said with a smile.

Xiao Li, the scolding officer, thought about it, and also smiled and said: "That's right, in this way, as long as the other party commits a crime, the footprints can be left, and no matter where he runs, we can find him!"

The two officials behind him were talking, but Yuan Zhutou didn't listen to a word, he frowned at this time, and his expression was quite anxious.

As if seeing Yuan Zhutou's reaction, the official Xiao Li walked a few steps quickly, arrived at Yuan Zhutou's side, and asked, "Boss, why do you look worried, you are the god of Yuezhou City, what can you do?"

"It's not that simple," Yuan Zhutou sighed and said: "This time the case is very different from the past, according to those witnesses, the victim's voice disappeared at a very fast speed from near to far, this is not something that can be done by manpower at all, this errand, we are afraid that we will have a lot of trouble!"

"Hey, Yuan Zhutou, I remembered what you said, this eyewitness's statement is very strange, the victim's voice disappeared quickly from near and far, which shows that they are moving at high speed, who has such a great ability to run so fast with people?"

Yuan Zhutou smiled bitterly and said: "So, our errand is not simple, this time the crime is either a demon beast or a master, at least with my strength, I can't do it at all!"

Lao Ma and Xiao Li both lost their minds to laugh, and both of them involuntarily grabbed the handle of the knife behind them with their backhands.

Yuan Zhutou is a person from Yue Lanzong, and he is a Xuanshi-level master of condensation, and because of this, the officials who follow him are very confident, but now even Yuan Zhutou is a little uneasy, and this old horse and Xiao Li feel even more nervous.
