The sky was overcast, and the sky was full of thick yellow clouds.

Just like Yan Li's mood at the moment.

After he went to the Minshan Mansion and the Tanglin Palace, he found that the county lord of Yong'an had followed his mother to Qingxuguan many times before his death, and the lord of Lingjun went to the palace to recuperate due to illness, and the courtyard was only a few miles away from Qingxuguan.

All the suspicions point to Qingxuguan, in the disappearance and murder of the noble girl, Qingxuguan is absolutely inseparable.

Just came out of the Tanglin Palace, and rushed to Qingxuguan non-stop.

Just when Yan Li rushed to Qingxu Temple, Wu Han turned out a map of Kyoto from the master's room.

This Kanyo map includes all the streets, rivers, and shops within the boundaries of Kyoto, and is even more accurate and detailed than the Kanyo map of the government.

There are several places circled with a red pen on the Kanyu map, and it is found that the circled places are Weishui River, Qingtang Lake, Minshan Wangfu Villa Lotus Pond and Qingxu Temple and Tangshan Palace.

In addition to Qingxuguan and Tangshan Palace, the other three places are all related to water, and they are the places where the three noble daughters of Qingwei County Lord, Yongan County Lord and Lingjun Lord were killed.

The royal nobles were killed one after another, and the murderer has not yet been punished, and now he has pulled the Tangshan Palace in, what is the conspiracy behind the scenes?

Just as Wu Han was pondering, Yan Li finally arrived at Qingxuguan.

Wu Han handed over the Kanyu map to Yan Li, and Yan Li said after reading it: "The person who drew this Kanyu map is very skilled. ”

Wu Han bowed, "That person is indeed not simple. Then he pointed out a few places circled by the red pen to Yan Li, "Why do you say he circled these places?" ”

Yan Li took a closer look, and the more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong. Suddenly, I heard Wu Han say, "I know." ”

He looked up at Wu Han, only to see that he went to the stove room to find a branch that had not yet been burned, arranged the circled places on the map in order, and then connected them with lines.

After finishing the painting, he asked Yan Li, "What do you think this looks like?" ”

Yan Li squinted his eyes and saw that it was a kneeling figure, with his head hanging down, and his hands folded above his head.

The moment he saw the portrait, he suddenly remembered that he had gone to Qianzhou a few years ago to handle a case, and had seen a similar pattern in a mountain temple in Pingshan County, under the rule of Qianzhou.

Local villagers say that it is the punishment of the punishers of the gods, the most faithful followers of the gods, who offer sacrifices to the gods and thus receive the power of punishment on behalf of the gods to punish the wicked.

From the perspective of divine punishment, this is like a war against the... Punishment against the Dayong royal family.

The murdered county lord of Yong'an, the county lord of Qinghao, the lord of Ling, and the missing county lord of Qingyang are all royal nobles.

Obviously, the sacrifice of this punishment was four noble women.

The three noble women who have been killed have all died of drowning, and the dates of death are the sixth day of the fourth month, the sixth day of the fifth month, and the sixth day of the ninth month.

Today happens to be the sixth day of the first month of October, and if the divine torturer takes the Qingyang County Lord as a sacrifice for this punishment, the Qingyang County Lord and Ah Tan are in danger.

Thinking of this possibility, Yan Li couldn't help but tremble, and immediately explained the seriousness of the matter to Wu Han.

Wu Han also looked solemn when he heard this.

They had to find two of them before the punishment was inflicted on the Divine Punisher.

Yan Li and Wu Han gathered the main search force in all the places where there was water in the Qingxu Temple, and even the water tank in the stove room was not spared, and after searching around, they found nothing.

At this time, Wu Han said: "Let's go to the pool at the door and take a look." ”

Qingxu Temple is different from other Taoist temples, and a rockery screen is built at the entrance, which is facing the main hall dedicated to the Sanqing Tianzun.

There are two fat goldfish in the pool under the rockery screen, one red and one black, which are fed as auspicious by the pilgrims who come to Qingxu to view the incense.

When the two of them came to the edge of the pool, they saw two fathead fish swimming very happily in it. There is a stone platform in the middle of the pool, on which are placed two lifelike stone fish.

Yan Li walked around the pool, then jumped into the pool to remove the stonefish from the stone platform. The moment the stonefish left the stone platform, the water level in the pool began to drop.

In less than half a burnt of incense, the amount of water up to Yan Li's waist was all drained, and there were only two fathead fish left in the pool.

Yan Li put the stone fish back on the stone platform, only to hear a boom, the stone platform was divided into two, and a hole that could only allow one person to pass through appeared in front of everyone.

Yan Li glanced at the entrance of the cave, "I'll go down and explore the way first." ”

Wu Han also jumped into the pool, "I'll go with you." ”

The two of them entered the cave one after the other, and the rest of the subordinates stayed on it to answer.

At first, the entrance to the cave was very narrow, and the more you walked in, the more spacious it became, and as they walked, the two of them realized that something was wrong, this road was a dead end, and there was no way ahead.

The two quickly retreated.

At this moment, Qianchuan suddenly twisted a young Taoist priest over, "Shizi, this Taoist priest wanted to escape, but was caught by our people. ”

Wu Han looked at the young Taoist priest coldly, "Qingxu Guan is full of people from the Imperial City Division and Dali Temple, are you sure that you can escape?" ”

The young Taoist priest glared at Wu Han hatefully and said nothing.

Yan Li asked Qianchuan, "Where did you find him?" ”

"Back to the pond." Qianchuan said the truth, and Yan Li asked him to lead the way.

A few people took the young Taoist priest to the edge of the pond, which was in a semi-dry state, the surrounding pond walls were all yellow mud, and there was a half-hidden stone door in an inconspicuous position.

According to Qianchuan, when they found the young Taoist, he had just come out of the stone gate.

Yan Li was suspicious when he heard this, could it be that there was another mystery behind this stone gate?

Wu Han obviously thought of it too, and ordered someone to investigate. After about a stick of incense, the man returned and reported, "Commander Qiqi, there is a secret passage inside." ”

Wu Han and Yan Li glanced at each other, it seemed that they had found the right place this time.

It's just that at this time, they didn't know that Qi Tanying and the county lord of Qingyang were already in danger, the water in the stone room was rising wildly, and the two of them stood on the stone platform with difficulty, the water level was almost level with the necks of the two, and there was a rising trend.

After being soaked in cold water for a long time, their nerves were tense and they didn't dare to relax for a moment, and the two of them were tired, hungry and cold.

The stone room was extremely dark, and the county lord of Qingyang muttered, "It seems that we are really going to die here." After collapsing so many times before, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, but at this moment, there was no expectation.

At this time, she is not afraid of death, but she is unwilling to die like this, after all, she has not married the man she loves the most.

But she was so tired that she wanted to close her eyes and sleep.

Qi Tanying felt that the county lord of Qingyang let go of her arm, and she was shocked, and hurriedly reached out to grab her.

"Bang!"

At this moment, a loud noise was heard, and then the stone chamber shook a little.

She could clearly feel a whirlpool suddenly appear under the water, and a huge pull force swept them in.

Boundless fear seeped into the bone marrow in an instant, and they might not really be able to get out.
