Chapter 12: Chasing the Murderer at Midnight

Stopping the carriage were two young men wearing embroidered 'Feiyun', both men, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, both carrying spears and heroic.

"I thought it was a pedestrian, a car, and a horse, and I saw that the mask should be a disciple of Feiyunlou, but I went to Yanyang Town?" One of the young men clasped the horse's belly between his legs, and his expression was slightly polite and he clenched his fist at the carriage.

Jiang Xun got out of the carriage and stood on the car with a fist in return: "Feiyun Lou disciple Jiang Xun and junior brother and sister were ordered to go to Yanyang Town and met the two Taoist friends of Feiyun Martial Arts Hall. ”

"Well, Zhang Tao in the Feiyun Martial Arts Pavilion, next to him is my senior brother Yang Chen, I thought it was a pedestrian and a horse, so I blocked the road and persuaded him to return, but since he is a friend of Feiyun Tower, he doesn't need to persuade him to return, why don't you go together?" Zhang Tao said loudly.

"It turned out to be the famous Iron Gall Gun Senior Brother Zhang and the Electric Dragon Gun Senior Brother Yang, I am honored to be together, and it is an honor." Jiang Xun smiled and nodded, and chatted with Zhang Tao and Yang Chen on the way.

In the carriage, Murong Yu introduced to Yun Tianfeng: "Feiyun Martial Arts Hall is one of the five most famous forces in the entire Yuzhou rivers and lakes, it is distributed in all countries, behaves decently, and likes to promote the reputation of the martial arts hall the most, and there is no conflict of interest with the door numbers of various countries, such as Feiyun Domestic, they will even let some locally recruited disciples join Feiyun Tower to serve the country." ”

"Iron gall gun Zhang Tao and electric dragon gun Yang Chen are both well-known chivalrous figures in this area of the Feiyun Martial Arts Pavilion."

The two horses and a cart walked together, and when they came to Yanyang Town, it was already night.

At this hour, only a few houses in the town still flickered by the faint light of the fire, and most of the people had turned off the lights and fallen asleep.

Yanyang Town is not far from Feiyun City, the capital of Feiyun Country, there are many households, and there are still a small number of restaurants and inns on both sides of the market street at this hour, and they are still open.

A group of five people walked through the street, and along the way, they saw that the courtyard walls of several houses were covered with white cloth and white lanterns, and some crying could be faintly heard in the inner mourning hall.

Zhang Tao of the Feiyun Martial Arts Hall motioned for everyone to wait on the side of the road, whenever he met such a person, he would definitely go in to inquire about the situation, and if the family was not in a good situation, he would leave a little silver.

"The first person who was killed was found three days ago, the remains were hideous, the chest cavity was hollow, as if someone had gouged out his heart alive and died, the guards guarding this side of the town also tracked down for the first time, but many people died one after another, all of them were the same death, and by now, more than twenty people have died in the entire town."

"Now the people of Yanyang Town are all soldiers, suspicious of ghosts, some suspect that it is monsters, and some suspect that it is the devil's way, the town guard can only order to strengthen patrols when it gets dark, and every household is not allowed to go out, Zhang guessed, it is very likely that it is the disciple of the Demon Dao Heart Refining Sect."

"Ask the town guard to make it clearer." Jiang Xun proposed that the two of them in the Feiyun Martial Arts Pavilion had no objection to this, while Yun Tianfeng and Murong Yu did not have a chance to express their opinions, more like two followers who followed to see the world.

There were soldiers patrolling back and forth inside and outside the yamen, and Jiang Xun showed the Feiyun Tower certificate, and everyone was led into the depths of the yamen by the soldiers.

"Two days ago, Feiyun Tower had two outer disciples who came, but they disappeared soon after coming, and some people found their blood-stained masks in the forest in the west of the town early in the morning, and they can basically be concluded to be dead, even the outer disciples of Feiyun Tower are dead, and the ordinary soldiers of our town guard mansion can't deal with it, so please leave it to you."

The town guard was an old man surnamed Chen with a tired face and a gray beard, and he felt palpitations at the mention of this, and the fear that he couldn't hide made his words tremble.

"Chen Zhenshou rest assured, I came this time to solve this matter, but I don't know how much information you have about the murderer, such as whether it is a demon thief or a monster, or how many murderers there are?" Jiang Xun was relieved and asked seriously.

The town guard pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's hard to say whether it's a demon or a demon, but the preliminary judgment is that the murderer is not alone, you must be careful when investigating, and try not to be alone." ”

The five of them deposited their horses and vehicles at the town guard's mansion, and then went to the woods west of the town to investigate clues.

The trees in the forest grow luxuriantly, they are evergreen all year round, and during the day they are fine, and some light can fall from the dense foliage, but at night the moonlight is hazy, and it is all black, and can only be illuminated by torches.

On the ground were dead leaves half a foot thick, and it was difficult not to make a sound no matter how good you stepped on them, and the light of the torches did not shine far, and you could only see the distance of one or two zhang around.

In the place where the blood masks were found by the people before, the five of them carefully examined, and found no residual traces of battle on the torsos of the surrounding trees, but some of the leaves were still stained with damp blood.

"From this direction to enter the town, this is the only way, I wait for the dazed search is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack, it is better to put out the fire, just wait here for the rabbit for one night, the thief has been murdering for a few days without interruption, tonight will be able to gain something." Zhang Tao of the Feiyun Martial Arts Pavilion proposed.

Everyone thought about it, and there was no other better way, so they nodded one after another.

Yang Chen's gaze swept over Yun Tianfeng and Murong Yu, his brows furrowed slightly, and he arranged: "The three friends of Feiyun Building are guarding the east, and my junior brother and I are both cultivating in the Tang Realm, guarding the north and south sides respectively, once the whereabouts of the thief are discovered, be sure to warn as soon as possible, it is best to besiege together, don't fight alone impulsively." ”

"Good!" Jiang Xun nodded, leading Yun Tianfeng and Murong Yu to retreat slightly.

The three of them all knew that although Jiang Xun had stepped into the Dengtang Realm with half a foot, he was not yet a master of the Dengtang Realm after all, and the two of them from the Feiyun Martial Arts Hall guessed that Yun Tianfeng and Murong Yu would only be weaker, so they simply let the three of them get together, and under joining forces, it was equivalent to the Dengtang Realm-level combat power.

"Senior Brother Jiang, it's difficult for us to find a trace of a thief in this position, why don't we go further?" When Yang Chen and Zhang Tao left separately, Murong Yu made a suggestion.

"No, it's too dangerous......" Jiang Xun was slightly embarrassed, if he was indeed full of confidence before, but now that even masters like Zhang Tao and Yang Chen are so cautious, he has some concerns.

It's not that I'm afraid, but I'm just worried that this junior brother and sister who are doing a mission together for the first time will be in danger if they can't be rescued.

"Senior Brother Jiang, I'm with Miss Murong, don't worry, the two of us join forces, even if the thief is a demon cultivator of the third realm of the Immortal Dao Spirit Law Realm, he can resist for a while, and you will have time to help when the time comes." Yun Tianfeng and Jiang Xun were also polite, and without waiting for Jiang Xun to refuse, they followed Murong Yu's figure and disappeared into the darkness.

"Oh, it's impulsive." Jiang Xun couldn't stop it, and he was inevitably worried in his heart, so after thinking about it, he still took a few more steps forward, so as not to cause regret if his junior brothers and sisters were in danger and delayed for an extra second or two.

Besides, Yun Tianfeng unfolded his spiritual sense, even in the dark, he could distinguish things, and a few leaps shuttled through the branches of the forest, and hundreds of meters away, he saw Murong Yu who was waiting for him.

"There is nothing wrong with the arrangement of a few senior brothers, but we don't have time to delay too much, and it is not very convenient to reveal our identities, it is better to act separately from them, you have the spiritual sense of the Immortal Dao to explore a wider and wider range at night, and now that I have broken through the Wind Realm, I can protect the Dharma for you when you explore, and those mongrels of the Heart Refining Sect must personally use the blood blade to avenge the brothers!" Murong Yu said coldly.
