Hou Sheng looked at the cave, listened attentively, took out a rope from his cuff, put it on Liu Xiaolou's waist, tied the rope buckle, wrapped the other end of the rope around his wrist, and said, "You go down first." ”

Liu Xiaolou felt the faint fluctuation of spiritual power coming from this rope, and said unhappily: "Deacon Hou, it's all like this, you still don't trust me?" ”

Hou Sheng's face did not change: "What if you collude with the two of them and set up an ambush in the cave?" I had to guard against it, if that was the case, you would be the first to die. ”

Liu Xiaolou sighed, shook his head, and climbed the rock wall to go down.

Hou Sheng also followed, holding the rope in one hand and grabbing the rock wall with two fingers, just on the right side of Liu Xiaolou.

The entrance of the cave is an irregular long strip, but it is actually a crack in the rock wall, and there are many such cracks in the mouth of the killer, most of which are located above and below the water surface, which should be washed by the river.

"Get in." Hou Sheng shook the rope, as if leading a dog.

After Liu Xiaolou went in with a low body, the inside was a little more spacious, divided into two places: inside and outside. The outer room was not more than a foot deep, and there was a extinguished bonfire in the corner; On the other side of the cave is a diagonal turn, and after entering the inner cavern, the depth is also less than a zhang, and there is a "bed" made of hay where it sticks to the rock wall, and nothing else.

The closure of this cave is very good, the river wind can't blow in, which perfectly meets the requirements of launching the blurry incense, and there are several cracks that leak wind and are directly blocked with gravel, which should be Wei Hongqing's handiwork.

Hou Sheng fell at the entrance of the cave and punched a piece of rune paper into the cave, and the paper burned to ashes in the cave. He waited another moment before cautiously entering the cave. He came to the campfire, reached into the embers, and muttered, "Yesterday's. ”

Liu Xiaolou asked curiously: "Can this also be seen?" ”

Hou Sheng remained silent, shook the rope again, and motioned for Liu Xiaolou to enter the inner cave room.

The two entered one after another, and Hou Sheng ordered: "Lift up the straw couch." ”

Liu Xiaolou did as he was told, Hou Sheng leaned over to check, and then said, "Newly made." ”

He looked around the inner cave again, and then said, "Let's start, what token do you keep?" ”

Liu Xiaolou asked angrily: "Deacon Hou doesn't suspect that I have colluded with them and his wife?" ”

Hou Sheng urged: "Hurry up." ”

Liu Xiaolou stretched out his hand to ask for the array plate, and Hou Sheng replied: "Leave a token and give it to you." ”

Liu Xiaolou, who has compromised many times in a row, is unwilling to compromise: "Deacon Hou, if you don't return my array, I won't leave a token." ”

Hou Sheng said indifferently: "Actually, when you get here, it doesn't matter if you keep the token or not, if you don't keep it, I will kill you, and then wait for them here." ”

Liu Xiaolou looked at Hou Sheng fixedly and asked, "Actually, Deacon Hou didn't plan to let me live, did he?" In that case, please let Deacon Hou do it. ”

Hou Sheng touched his nose: "What do I plan, it's not your turn to worry." Your life and death are only in my thoughts, but you can bet once, bet on whether I will spare you, and give you a bounty. Of course, you can also not bet, I count three, if you still don't stay, then go to the river to feed the fish. Three...... 2. ......"

"I bet...... I bet ......" Liu Xiaolou took a deep breath, pulled out the Sanxuan Sword, and carved words on the cave wall.

Hou Sheng didn't care about Liu Xiaolou's sword drawing, and a low-level casual cultivator of the third level of qi refining drew his sword, without any threat. He just watched Liu Xiaolou finish carving the words "the fifth day of October" on the cave wall, and let the stone chips on the cave wall fall to the ground one after another.

"The fifth day of October? Today? This is the signal you agreed upon? Where to meet? Right here? ”

"Of course I didn't meet here, Deacon Hou, what I left behind is the period of today's message, but the appointment date is not today, nor is it here, when and where will we meet...... Please Deacon Hou return the array plate to me, I will leave a message on the willow tree above, and of course, please ask Deacon Hou to go out half an hour later. ”

"Bonfires and straw couches ......"

"It's not theirs, it's the fire I lit, before I went to pick up the Tianlian Pavilion to leave a book for you, I came here myself and stayed for one night, without waiting for Xing Dejun and Zhou Qiniang."

Hou Sheng suddenly smiled: "It seems that you are not willing to gamble, or you lost the bet." After you die, I will wait here for three days, if I don't see Xingdejun, even if I fall for you, Hou will admit it. I'm checking Xingdejun, it's not just you who has this clue, it's a big deal to try again. Your body will remain here, and this cave is your burial place, and the line you carved will be your tombstone......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Liu Xiaolou preemptively said: "Deacon Hou, why are you investigating the case privately?" Why don't you report it to your Qingyu Sect? What do you want from Xingdejun? ”

Hou Sheng was stunned, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, it's a pity, it's a pity to ......"

The rope tied to Liu Xiaolou's waist suddenly burst out of spiritual power, and the rope became tighter and tighter, so that Liu Xiaolou couldn't breathe, no matter how he fought with the true yuan, it would be useless.

Hou Sheng said slowly: "Are you asking this question because I didn't call a helper?" Finally, I would like to send you a word, there are some things, don't think about it, even if you really figure out something famous, don't announce it, otherwise you will die. ”

Liu Xiaolou's eyes were bulging out, and he said with difficulty: "I said...... I say...... cough cough cough ......"

The rope suddenly loosened, and he finally gasped for breath and fell to the ground coughing loudly.

"Come on, this is your last chance." Hou Sheng sat on the straw couch and stared at Liu Xiaolou curled up on the ground.

Liu Xiaolou said hoarsely: "Seven...... Seven-day ...... Every seven days...... I'm going to see ......"

Xing Dejun smiled, the rope tightened again, and this time he didn't leave his hand anymore, so that Liu Xiaolou's internal organs were about to churn out, and the corners of his mouth kept foaming.

Liu Xiaolou snorted and crawled out of the cave.

Hou Sheng didn't stop him, and looked at Liu Xiaolou who crawled out of the cave playfully and said, "Don't you keep asking me, how can a person dare to come to take Xingdejun and the two of them?" This deacon can tell you that it is by virtue of this detached rope. This rope is a good treasure, you died today under the scattered yuan rope from the ground, and you can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and you will be treated the same as those thieves and strongmen I have handled......"

Liu Xiaolou was still climbing out, climbed to the outer cave, and was about to roll down into the river by holding the stone wall at the entrance of the cave.

Hou Sheng didn't know why, he was a little excited at the moment, and unconsciously wanted to say a few more words: "Although your cultivation is shallow, your foundation is firm...... But this rope is like a leech, where is it so easy to break free? ”

Seeing that Liu Xiaolou was about to climb out of the hole and roll down the river, he laughed again: "Don't bother your efforts, if you can't escape, this deacon will hang you here, like a spider web......"

His face was flushed with laughter, his mouth was dry with excitement, he couldn't help licking his lips, his heart jumped wildly, and a picture appeared in his mind: it seemed that there was a woman wearing only a light veil, holding a pipa in her arms, tied into a spider flower by a scattered rope from the ground, hanging on the stone wall, seeing that his mouth was dry, his body shook and sat down again.

At the same time, Liu Xiaolou was strangled by the rope and stuck out his tongue, and finally rolled out and rolled to the bottom of the river.
