The Son of Heaven Chonghua issued two orders. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The first is that at the request of Peng Kengbu, Mi Lian succeeded Bojun. The position of the Bojun is of course inherited from generation to generation and canonized by the Son of Heaven, nominally the new Bojun is appointed by the previous Bojun and elected by the leaders of the tribe, but in fact it is basically from father to son, if there is no son, it will be passed on to his brother or nephew, and the nephew is generally succeeded as a son at this time.

The term "brother" and "son" are used to describe the heirs, which is how it first came.

But after all, there is a nominal designation and recommendation system, and Huwa, on behalf of Peng Kengbu, asked for the position of Bojun to be passed on to Mi Lian, which is not impossible, but it does not conform to the current convention. The title of Lord Peng Keng has been revoked in Pakistan, and there will be no new Lord Peng Keng in Ba Yuan, or it will always belong to Huwa alone.

But in China, it is not easy for Peng Keng's department to withdraw the seal, and now Mi Lian has become the second Lord Peng Keng. Since the tiger baby has been designated, no one will object, anyway, it has been Mi Lian who has been governing Peng Cheng and Peng Keng's department for so many years.

The second Zhao Decree is similar to the first Zhao Order, that is, the Zen position of the monarch of the Immortal Kingdom, and the new monarch is Fan Chong. Fan Chong had previously been the monarch of the Fan Chamber, and later took the initiative to abdicate and return to the mountain to practice, and was recommended by the tiger baby as the lord of Yingtian City, which can be said to be quite rich. Fan Chong didn't think that he would be the monarch again, but the tiger baby was in him, and he couldn't refuse.

The Zhao Decree of the Son of Heaven is actually just a formality, and Peng Kengbu and Fengxian Guo do not need the Son of Heaven to mediate the succession dispute. At the same time, Xuanyuan also passed on the position of the sect master of Chiwangqiu to others. The seven evils of Bayuan back then have all disappeared now, and the sect masters of Chiwangqiu, Wufuqiu, and Meng Yingqiu have also changed their descendants, which seems to symbolize the change of an era.

For the two edicts issued by the Son of Heaven Chonghua, the monarchs of the world were not too surprised, because the tiger monarch has not appeared in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and it is almost a legend. There is another thing that the people of each ministry do not know, but the heads of all the ministries know, that is, the Son of Heaven Chonghua sent all the masters to the area of Yinshan and Helan Mountain to track down the desolate king who was suspected of causing rebellion.

Where did the various ministries under heaven send so many masters? Because the Son of Heaven Chonghua summoned all the kings to patrol the river with him, they all came to escort him, but they were all left behind by the Son of Heaven and sent out. The Son of Heaven also said something: When besieging Boyi, there were so many masters who took action, and even so many artifacts were left behind, and all the departments in the world were really hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and now they should do something serious.

There are still many capable talents sent by Chonghua to that area, mainly to help investigate and analyze various clues, Ziqiu took Xiao Jizhi Shancha to the Wind Department.

......

On this day, at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, in the mountains not far from the Youfeng Department, there was a handsome young woman running wildly, and a colorful tiger was chasing after her. The woman was not slow, but she was not as fast as the tiger in the mountains, but the tiger apparently did not chase her with all his might, but deliberately chased her into the deserted forest far from the village.

The woman was still holding a stone sickle in her hand as she ran, and in her panic she tripped under her feet, and when she stumbled, she cut her leg and threw herself forward, and then turned and sat on the ground, brandishing the stone sickle, and screamed, "Don't come!

It was far from the village, surrounded by deserted forests, and her screams were certainly not heard. The tiger pounced in front of him and suddenly let out a roar. The stone sickle in the woman's hand fell to the ground, and her eyes rolled and she fainted.

The tiger did not pounce directly and devour the person, but actually squatted down in front of the woman, and the tiger skin also began to chrysalis, as if something was about to come out of it. After a while, a hole was opened under the tiger's body, from the small abdomen to the lower jaw, and a pair of hands stretched out and tore left and right, and a person came out. He left the tiger skin behind him, as if he had taken off a piece of clothing.

After this tiger skin is "taken off", it is no longer a complete tiger body shape, but a flat fur coat. What came out was a man who looked to be less than thirty years old, and his body should be quite strong, but he looked very haggard and his face was a little pale.

He stood there panting, as if he was very exhausted and tired, and his eyes were full of struggle, and it took a while for his heaving chest to calm down. Then he looked at the woman who had fainted on the ground, his snort became heavy again, and he limped over, his eyes full of ** light.

......

When Ziqiu and Shancha arrived at the Wind Ministry, something happened to happen here. There is a woman in the village named Ah Hong, who is in her early twenties, who went to work in the fields yesterday and did not return all night, probably because of an accident. Early this morning, the villagers went out to look for her, calling her name all over the mountains.

They came at this time, and Lord Yufeng was also sorry because he didn't have time to receive them properly. Since they met, Ziqiu and Shancha also took the initiative to participate in the team to find Ah Hong, and in the end, Shancha smelled the abnormal breath and led the villagers to find the place where Ah Hong might have been killed far away from the village and in the mountains and wilderness.

Ah Hong was not found at the scene, only Ah Hong's stone sickle and her torn clothes were found. Shancha also traveled to this location from half a mile away and found blood stains on her clothes, which led to speculation that she might have been killed.

The blood stain on the garment was stained by the hole cut by the stone sickle, about the front of the right thigh, but the blood on the ground had been mixed with dust, and it would be difficult for others to detect it unless they were observant. In addition to the bloodstains, Shancha also found several animal footprints in hidden places, which they should have been tiger paw prints.

Based on these traces, it is speculated that Ah Hong should have been chased by the tigers and ran all the way to this place and finally met with misfortune. When he said this, some villagers immediately shouted: "When I was working in the fields a few days ago, I heard a tiger roaring faintly from the deep mountains. Lord Zongyan killed the saber-toothed beast back then, could it be that there was another tiger in the mountain, and it ate Ah Hong?"

It's not impossible for a tiger to eat people, but it can't leave no traces at all, at least there must be some residue left, and then some people speculated that Ah Hong might have been taken into the mountains by the tiger, and everyone sighed. Ziqiu shook his head and said, "It's not the beast's doing." ”

Lord Youfeng Clan was puzzled: "Lord Fang Cai Shancha has already found a lot of traces, indicating that Ah Hong was chased here by a fierce tiger, maybe he was pounced on here and taken away, how do you say that it was not a beast?"

Ziqiu asked, "What does Ah Hong look like?"

Someone replied, "Very handsome...... Her man went out a few months ago and was nowhere to be found, and now it seems that he may have been eaten by a tiger!"

Ziqiu pointed to the ground and said: "The beast eats people, and it doesn't leave too much blood, why is it that you even strip off your clothes? The clothes on the ground are either torn apart by the tiger's claws, or peeled off." Where is this beast, it is clearly an adulterer!"

Except for the few blood spots spilled on the road and the hole in the clothes that had been cut by a stone sickle, there were no other blood stains at the scene. In particular, the clothes left at the scene were torn in many places, but they were generally intact, and they were by no means torn apart by tiger claws, as if they had been taken off very roughly.

If a tiger eats a man, will it first strip off a person's clothes? Even if the clothes are torn apart, it will not look like this, who has ever seen such a fierce beast? This should be the work of an adulterer, and the murderer may also be an obscene monster. Everyone present shuddered when they heard this, if this is the case, this is not a simple accident, the adulterer is more difficult to track down than the beast, if it is an obscene monster, it will be terrible.

Lord Youfeng immediately led the clansmen to kneel: "Two adults, you must help us!" Thinking that at the beginning, they had begged Zongyan and Shaowu like this, and now they have asked Ziqiu and Shancha again.

Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Get up, and go back to the village to talk, I still have some things to ask clearly." ”

That night, the village was closed and everyone was terrified, and an atmosphere of unease was reminiscent of dead trees in the cold wind. The lamp was lit in the king's house, and Ziqiu had a long conversation with Lord Youfeng.

The Wind Department is the place where Zong Yan and Shaowu first encountered demons and evil creatures when they first made their rounds. According to Zong Yan, when the saber-toothed beast fought with her, the means it used were not like ordinary mountain and wild demon cultivation, as if it had been handed down for guidance. This is also a clue, so Ziqiu and Shancha came here to investigate first, but they encountered a situation just after they came.

The Winds were not a tribe that had migrated here due to the flood, they had lived here for generations, and they had ancestors who had been instructed to cross the road down the mountain only at noon when the weather was at its clearest, so the task of controlling the water was delayed. Later, the White Rabbit and Zong Yan found out the cause of the ancestral training of the tribe and killed the saber-toothed beast that caused the disaster, which dispelled the haze that shrouded people's hearts.

Later, the road connecting the other tribes through the Youfeng tribe was built, and the river flood control was successful, but the Youfeng tribe still settled in the ancestral land and did not migrate to the river basin, and the legend of the tribe's forbidden land seemed to be a thing of the past.

Today, Ziqiu heard that the woman's husband, Ah Hong, had also disappeared when he went out a few months ago, and he became vigilant in his heart. He also deliberately asked Lord Youfeng Clan, have there been any other missing people in the clan over the years? Lord Youfeng Clan recalled carefully, there really is, and the number of missing people is not less than in previous years.

The Youfeng Department lives in Helan Mountain, surrounded by deep mountains and wild forests, with a total of five villages and so many people, and it is normal for so many people to get lost in the mountains every year, and accidents are always inevitable. In previous years, there were strange and evil things, so everyone always thought about it, but then the evil has been eliminated, but no one pays too much attention to it.

Ziqiu asked Lord Youfeng to recall that after Zong Yan and Shaowu killed the saber-toothed beast, there were still people in the tribe who disappeared and when they happened. There are some situations that Lord Youfeng can't remember clearly, because in the past few years, in order to control the water, there have been dozens of casualties in the tribe, and the occasional missing person is not too conspicuous among them, but some cases can still be remembered.

Under Ziqiu's prompting questioning, according to the memories of Lord Youfeng, a rough outline was gradually sorted out. After slaying the saber-toothed beast, the time for someone to disappear again in the Ghost Wind Department was half a year later, and the missing person was from another village. Starting from this person, there are three or five people missing from the Wind Department every year, but they are all from the other four villages, and there are no people from this village.

The time of these people's disappearance seems to be irregular, but there are still traces of it, because Zong Yan and Shaowu were still inspecting the various departments of the river at that time, and Bingchi and Ding Chi and others were also patrolling later. Whenever these inspectors arrived, no one in the Youfeng Department was missing, including when the Son of Heaven Chonghua went out to patrol and passed through the Youfeng Ministry, it was also safe and sound.

The Son of Heaven Chonghua inspected the river and passed by the Wind Department, which means that the water control has been successful, and no one will deliberately inspect it in the future. Since then, the number of missing persons has increased inexplicably, and there may be more than a dozen people in more than a year. The two people who disappeared recently are Ah Hong's husband and Ah Hong, both of whom are from this village, which means that this kind of thing has finally happened in this village.

Why do you say that there may be more than ten people, because Lord Youfeng is not sure of the exact number. It is precisely in the last year or so that tribal affairs have been numerous and complicated. With the completion of the construction of the avenue and the success of water control, there are more and more people flowing and exchanging, although the Youfeng Department has not moved to the river, but there are many clansmen who go out and about, and the range of activities of the clansmen on weekdays is also getting larger and larger, and some people have not returned and have not aroused special vigilance.

Based on these fragmentary and even speculative information, it is difficult for ordinary people to draw any clear conclusions, but Ziqiu is different, he is both a descendant of Hou Gang and a student of Gaotao, and he said his judgment to Lord Youfeng with a calm face. These cases of missing persons are likely to be committed by gangsters, and this gangster is hiding in this village, and may also have some kind of strange means.

The reason is very simple, if it is done by fierce beasts or monsters in the mountains and wilderness, it is unlikely that they will accurately know the time when the masters under Bo Yu will patrol every time, so as to lurk in time and no longer commit crimes. Even if the monsters with vast powers could know this, it would be impossible for them to avoid this village and only attack the other four villages.

If the villain is from this village, the matter can be explained. Gangsters commit crimes in secret, and usually subconsciously avoid places that are too close to themselves to avoid being suspected, so he only attacks people from the other four villages, but avoids his own village. After the success of the flood control, there was no master to inspect the various parts of the river, and this person became emboldened, and the number of crimes increased sharply.

Why did this person finally reach out to his own village, and Ah Hong and his wife also disappeared? It may be that for three and a half years, he was not discovered for committing the crime, so he was no longer as cautious as before, and he became more presumptuous after he became bolder, or he had another inside story. Ziqiu and Shancha arrived, and no one knew about it in advance, so they suddenly collided.

Lord Youfeng Clan broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and immediately knelt on the ground again: "Lord Ziqiu, I am familiar with all the people in this village, how can there be such a gangster? You must find out!"

Ziqiu helped him up and said, "Lord Jun, don't panic, it's just my speculation, and it's still unknown whether this is the case." Give me one day, and tell all the people that tomorrow you will answer the questions of Lord Shancha from house to house. At noon the day after tomorrow, gather all the people in the village. ”

Lord Youfeng: "Okay, I will do it, will I call the people from the other four villages as well?"

Ziqiu: "For the time being, you don't have to, everyone in the village can be present." ”
