After ending the negotiation with the Du family, Shi Cheng and the three returned to the manor to rest.

Lying on the soft and comfortable big bed with the fragrance of grass and trees, Shi Cheng tossed and turned tonight, constantly recalling in his mind what Du Shenghao had said to him during the day, and the details of Du Heng's accident in the forbidden area before and after.

As Shi Cheng guessed before and Du Xianqi revealed, although Du Heng is an inner disciple in the family, because he is from a side lineage, he cannot be regarded as a noble status, but Du Xianqi was born with a talent in formation, coupled with his diligence and hard work, although his cultivation level is not high now, he seems to be the first-class formation mage in the Du family.

It is precisely for this reason that in this operation to capture the treasure of Kenbin Kingdom, Du Heng was also sent by the family to take on the important task of arranging the array with the family's secret treasure to assist the clan in exploring the forbidden area.

After coming to the Kenbin King City, out of the need to collect intelligence, the Du family will not always shrink in the inn, but will be divided into different teams and take turns to walk around the Kenbin King City to inquire about the news.

Regarding Du Heng's performance before entering the forbidden area, according to the memories of Du Shenghao and others, the following things are more important:

First, Du Heng is a book-loving person, since he came to Kenbin King City, he spent almost half of his time going out in a few decent bookstores in the city, and some family members complained to the leader of the team about Du Heng's grinding of foreign workers, but Du Heng defended that reading in the bookstore is also a process of understanding a place, plus Du Heng is the only monk who is proficient in the formation in the team of the Du family who came to Rainforest Continent, and finally Du Shenghao and the others turned a blind eye.

It is precisely because Du Heng likes to drill the bookstore's hobby, so many times he leaves the team not long after he goes out with his companions, the formation mage is important, but the rest of the Du family has their own tasks, and it is impossible to completely consume Du Heng's body, although the people who go out with Du Heng are unhappy, but because they usually do not have many intersections, and Du Heng is not from the family lineage, the clansmen who are traveling with him are too lazy to care about him after a few words of caution to pay attention to safety.

The second news was provided by the Du family who lived in the same room with Du Heng, according to them, Du Heng was in an extremely bad mood about five days before the accident, and he wrote on the desk when he came back after going out. A curious clansman leaned over to take a look, and was surprised to find that Du Heng was actually writing a piece of paper that was about to be handed to the local yamen in Wangcheng, as if he was going to sue someone.

Under the inquiry of the clansmen, Du Heng did not hide it, it turned out that when he was out, he stumbled upon a group of thieves who forcibly abducted and sold young children in broad daylight. Du Heng couldn't stand it, and went up to reason with the thieves, but he didn't expect those robbers to have any scruples about Du Heng's identity as a Hanyue person, and shouted loudly that Du Heng would be nosy and provoke the owner behind them, but there was no good fruit for Du Heng to eat.

Du Heng was angry, beat the robbers on the spot, and when he came back, he wrote a complaint to the local government.

Of course, what happened to this incident, who the owner of those thieves was, the people of the Du family can't remember clearly, since they came to King Kenbin City, everyone has been very busy, and they don't have the energy to pay attention to these things anymore.

The last thing happened the day before Du Heng's accident.

That day, Du Heng didn't know why, he always looked preoccupied. A curious clansman asked him if something had happened, but Du Heng kept silent, only saying that he was going to enter the forbidden area tomorrow, and he was just a little nervous.

The only clues that the Du family can provide at the moment are these, after all, after arriving in Kenbin Royal City, all the clansmen are very busy, although Du Heng is an important formation mage, but the Du family does not have the energy to stare at Du Heng every day to see what he is doing day by day.

As for what happened after Du Heng's body was recovered, Du Shenghao and others' statements were the same as Du Xianqi's statements earlier, and the Du family did not believe in the statement given by Yizhuang that it was stolen due to haunting, and everyone agreed that it was the poor management of Yizhuang on this side of Yulinzhou, which led to the theft of Yizhuang and the loss of Du Heng's body.

Of course, unlike Du Xianqi, Du Shenghao, the leader of the Du family, seems to suspect that there is something else behind the theft of Du Heng's body, but at the moment, the Du family is really not enough, and Du Shenghao can only focus on retrieving the family's secret treasure.

Of course, a few days ago, he had already written a letter to his hometown, asking for additional manpower, and then he would have the spare energy to investigate the whereabouts of Du Heng's body.

Shi Cheng and Du Shenghao preliminarily negotiated the next cooperation matters, and then left.

On the return carriage, Wu Neng looked at Shi Cheng, who had been pondering and not speaking, and asked, "Old Shi, Du Heng's matter still seems to be very difficult now." ”

"Old Wu, you have been following us to investigate this matter all this time, what do you think?" Shi Cheng asked coldly.

"Uh......" Wu Neng was asked for a while, he thought about it carefully, and replied, "Old Shi, do you think there is a possibility that Du Heng inadvertently witnessed the scene of a certain force doing evil alone when he came to Kenbin King City after coming to Kenbin King City. ”

"Du Heng may have had a conflict with the people of this force and formed a bond. After all, the Du family just said that Du Heng had written a complaint before the accident and wanted to complain to the local yamen. ”

But Du Heng may not have done this, but further deepened the grievances between the two sides, until later when he entered the forbidden area, Du Heng accidentally found that the people of the evil force were also exploring in the forbidden area, and they might still be implementing some ulterior plans. Du Heng wanted to step forward to drink, the two sides clashed again, this time the other party came prepared, Du Heng was defeated, but he still escaped back to the camp by luck. ”

"It's just that the wicked people don't plan to let him go this time, they set up formations and ambushes on the way for the Du family to advance, and after making the Du family's team into chaos, they took advantage of the mechanism to subdue and take Du Heng, and after a period of torture, they brutally killed him and took away the treasures on his body."

Wu Neng analyzed endlessly, Shi Cheng looked at Wu Neng quietly, and couldn't help admiring in his heart, some people just have a talent and innate temperament, no matter what they tell others, they can give people the feeling of squatting by the stone bridge and listening to Mr. Storyteller.

After completing the long analysis, Wu Neng looked at Shi Cheng and Tie Mian and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Tie Mian thought for a while and said: "The matter of the paper, according to the Du family, Du Heng is planning to sue a group of thieves who abduct and sell young children in broad daylight, such a person may be a local snake with great momentum in Kenbin City, but how much it can have to do with the things in the forbidden area, I still have doubts about it." ”

Shi Cheng waved his hand, "There are no absolutes in everything, we can let us think like this first, and then overturn it if there is other evidence in the future." ”

"What about you, Lao Shi, what do you think of my analysis?" Wu Neng looked forward to it.

"Logically, it makes sense. However, if it was just a vendetta and a corpse was thrown, why did Du Heng's corpse disappear in Yizhuang? Why did the people in Al Qaida make up the rumors of a haunting to fool us? ”

Wu Neng thought about it, and couldn't think of an answer in his heart for a while.

"But Lao Wu, your guess is indeed a direction, what we have to do next is to verify the accuracy of this direction." Shi Cheng pulled the curtain and glanced at the Cuiye Inn, which was getting smaller and smaller in his field of vision, "The Du family is a big family after all, and we are outsiders to them after all. Don't look at Du Shenghao's politeness to us, it is still unknown whether they have told everything in full, and many things still have to be verified by ourselves. ”

He closed the curtain, turned his head to Tie Mian and Wu Neng and said, "Our preparations are almost done, I have already thought about it in my heart, we will enter the forbidden area in three days." ”

……

After returning to the manor, Shi Cheng and the three of them saw a child with a cloth bag at the door of the rented house.

Xiao Tong seemed to have been waiting at the door of the house for a long time, and when he saw Shi Cheng and the three of them coming to the door, he hurriedly came up and saluted one by one, and then handed a thick envelope to Wu Neng, the most handsome of the three.

The letter ...... It was sent by Xu Fengshi. Wu Neng flipped the letter and looked at it, and saw Xu Fengshi's autograph on the back of the letter.

"The speed at which the Fruit Tree Chamber of Commerce combs through information is quite fast." Shi Cheng smiled and took the envelope from Wu Neng's hand, "This thickness, I guess it is mostly related to the forbidden area information I asked Xu Fengshi for before." ”

"Then let's go back to the house and take a look, we'll be going in three days." Wu Neng hurriedly opened the door of the house.

After returning to the rented house, Shi Cheng opened the envelope with a knife, took out a thick stack of paper from it, opened it and saw that it was indeed information about the forbidden area.

The arrival of this letter was quite surprising to Shi Cheng, because in his expectation, even if the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce agreed to share information with him Shi Cheng, most of the people in the Chamber of Commerce would have to fight internally for a while before sending what Shi Cheng wanted.

Shi Cheng was now very interested in the supreme person in charge of the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce in Kenbin King City, and Shi Cheng knew very well in his heart that Xu Fengshi did not have the authority to make a decision on whether or not to provide Shi Cheng with information on the forbidden area.

"We will meet by fate." Thinking so, Shi Cheng began to flip through the pages of the letter in his hand.

Just after a general look, Shi Cheng felt his heart jump, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back, originally he thought that even if there were many fogs and traps in the Kenbin penalty area, for him Shi Cheng, it was just a matter of spending more effort to crack it.

However, the information in the letter told him that in the small Kenbin Forbidden Zone, there was actually a magic circle set up by a not-so-well-known evil god in the era of the gods, although the magic circle was broken, and the specific use was not completely clear, but the preliminary speculation was that it seemed to be set up for gathering fierce qi in the forbidden area!

If the information provided by the Fruit Tree Chamber of Commerce is true, it means that the spirit treasure that is about to be born in the Kenbin Forbidden Area is actually very likely to be some kind of evil thing!

"How so...... If there is really an evil god formation in the Kenbin forbidden area, then the spirit treasure born in it will inevitably be contaminated with evil qi, since the Fruit Wood Chamber of Commerce knows this, why do they still participate in the treasure hunting? For a while, Shi Cheng was full of thoughts.

The letter paper in his hand turned to the end, Shi Cheng frowned, and picked out the last letter paper alone.

That letter was written by Xu Fengshi to Shi Cheng, and the content in it was actually Xu Fengshi's initiative to ask to enter the forbidden area with Shi Cheng and the three of them, if Shi Cheng intended to enter the forbidden area to explore the way before the strange treasure was completely born.
