Chapter 62: The Roots and Soul of Yinren Village

On the other side of the Chunfeng River, in an inconspicuous canopy, two people are standing on branches with different trunks.

"Qingzhu senior, the one named Qi Chengcheng is quite interesting. The person who spoke was a thin young man wearing an iron guard uniform, the man was wearing a pair of eagle-eye masks, and it was the first time to follow the patrol team on a mission, a quasi-patrol member - "Eagle".

On a branch of a tree not far behind him, a middle-aged man was standing, dressed as a mountain patrol team. Hearing Eagle's words, the patrolman codenamed "Qingzhu" replied, "Well, haha. He is the only son of the Three Elders, you may not know him, but he is familiar to everyone in our mountain patrol team. Watching him grow up since he was a child, although his temperament is a little more rebellious, the main reason is that he is a senior child, and he has not had many friends around him since he was a child. But overall, it's still a kind kid. ”

"He's been a bit naughty in doing so. After all, Eagle is the captain of the guard iron suit, and for the person who can win the champion in the martial arts competition, he subconsciously becomes the new seedling of the guard iron suit, and he can't help but say a word.

At this time, another quasi-mountain patrol member codenamed "Teng Snake" suddenly appeared on the side of the eagle and said with a smile: "Stubborn? But does the boy who has dealt with the mountain patrol team since he was a child care about the selection competition that the strong man is engaged in? I think he is free and easy enough, or he doesn't care at all. ”

Eagle didn't show too much attention because of the sudden appearance of the snake, obviously he had already noticed the other party in advance.

Glancing at the eagle who was not alarmed, Teng Snake muttered, "It's really hard to scare you." ”

Ying ignored the other party and said lightly: "You should be happy." ”

Teng Snake obviously understood the eagle's temperament, and didn't say anything more on this matter, and then said: "There is a discovery downstream, Qingzhu senior, you still have to come and see." ”

Qingzhu and Ying glanced at each other and said, "Lead the way." ”

Soon the three of them came to a river beach, and at this time there was a person lying on the river beach.

"Can you verify your identity?" Qingzhu asked softly as he walked over to He Hou and checked his clothes.

Teng Snake said slowly: "The one found before the half-burnt incense, the identity was confirmed, the name is He Hou, and he is a strong man. Confirmed dead at the time of discovery, but it should have been no more than an hour. The cause of death was serious injury and drowning. ”

Qingzhu turned He Hou's corpse over and slowly pressed his hand along his spine. After a while, he said slowly: "The other party's strength is at least two levels higher than him. His spine and lungs were shattered, and even if he didn't fall into the river, he wouldn't have survived. ”

Hearing Qingzhu's analysis, Ying interjected: "Two levels? Is that the martial artist of the Mangzhi Realm? This level is no longer considered the ordinary force of each village and town. ”

Teng Snake nodded and continued: "In other words, He Hou discovered the other party, and then fought with the other party, and then was shot down into the river by the other party?

Qingzhu didn't answer Teng Snake's question, but frowned, stared at He Hou's corpse, and muttered, "It doesn't make sense......"

Seeing that Qingzhu was slow to make a decision, and he was afraid that he would delay the fighter plane, so that the enemy could escape smoothly from the control of Yinren Village, Teng Snake couldn't help but look at the eagle beside him. The eagle raised his hand to signal Teng Snake to calm down, and asked, "Qingzhu senior, but there is anything missing." ”

Qingzhu turned He Hou's body back to the front and said softly: "It's nothing, I just don't think it makes sense." ”

"Oh, what's wrong?" asked Hawk Strangely.

Qingzhu looked up at the eagle and the snake and asked, "Death is indeed within an hour, and then contact He Hou's corpse to be found in the river." It can be determined that He Hou was indeed near the perimeter of Yinren Village and was killed by the enemy. ”

The green snake paused and continued: "Judging from the back injury, He Hou didn't fight with the other party too much, and just one palm cut off his vitality. Therefore, we deduce that the enemy's strength is at least the realm of Mang. ”

"My question is, since the other party attacked within the scope of Yinren Village, and his strength is so much higher than He Hou, why did he shoot him down into the river? Wouldn't it be better to kill and bury him directly?"

Ying also sensed the problem, nodded and said, "Yes, I am also a martial artist of the Mangzhi Realm, if I deal with a person from the Qi Realm, I can choose a better way to end him than let him drown in the river." ”

"Hey, Eagle, look at this man's finger. At this time, Teng Snake suddenly interrupted.

The three of them turned their eyes to He Hou's fingers, most of the drowning people, their mouths and fingers will not be very clean, because in the last moments of life, people's survival instinct will make people frantically swallow the river, and at the same time, their hands will also try their best to find, trying to grasp the last straw that saves their lives. I saw that at this time, in addition to the sludge at the bottom of the river, He Hou's fingertips were also mixed with some flesh and blood.

"It's flesh and blood. Teng Snake said affirmatively.

Qingzhu looked at it for a moment, suddenly his eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "Take off his shirt!"

The eagle and the snake looked at each other suspiciously, but did as they did.

......

Until he Hou's robes were removed, the scene in front of him made even the mountain patrol team and the guard iron clothes who were used to killing were deeply shocked.

I saw a blue-purple belly that had been blistered by the river, and four words appeared on it. It was left by He Hou before he died, he used his fingers to buckle the flesh and blood in his abdomen, and at this time, looking at the uneven wounds, there was not even a trace of blood blistered by the river. But it still clearly tells those who see it that these four words are: good, chen, existent, and inner.

Qingzhu looked at these wounds and was silent for a long time.

The eagle muttered, "He deliberately jumped into the river himself." ”

Qingzhu nodded, and then said softly: "It's only possible...... The opponent is so much stronger than himself, how can he leave clues and warn the people in the village? He is desperate and trades his life for information. ”

Teng Snake suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Senior Qingzhu, I'll take someone to Liangchengang and chop up that group of miscellaneous pieces!"

Qingzhu raised his hand to stop the other party, and said in a deep voice: "Don't act rashly, Liangchengang is an important camp in the village, how can it be so silently terminated by outsiders? But if something really happens to Liangchengang, then there must be a problem in the village." Moreover, you see the clues left by He Hou for us, in addition to Liangchen, there are also the words "inside". ”

Qingzhu paused and continued: "I guess he wants to write that there is a mole. It's a pity that in the end, I didn't have enough energy......"

Qingzhu swept away his previous slow temperament, and commanded sharply: "Everyone listens to the order!"

"Yes!" said the eagle and the serpent reflexively.

"The eagle immediately went to Liangchen Gang to investigate the situation. Remember to only probe and don't shoot. The other party is at least a Mangzhi realm cultivator, and we don't know how many people the other party has. Qingzhu commanded loudly.

"The eagle obeys!" said that, the eagle turned and disappeared into the woods.

Then Qingzhu said: "Ordered Teng Snake to immediately report this matter to Captain Cheng Tao and ask him to decide." and told the captain that Qingzhu would continue to monitor the movements of the Chunfeng River, and found that ......" Qingzhu paused and said: "And found a target with major suspicions related to this attack." Request support. ”

Teng Snake's eyes lit up, and then he also bowed down and took the order.

Qingzhu stood up, his eyes full of indifference and murderous intent. He glanced down at He Hou's corpse, and there was a hint of heartache in his indifferent eyes. Qingzhu gently put the cover of the coat that he had taken off from He Hou back on his body, turned around and slowly melted into the dense forest.

He Hou's death did not attract much attention from the villagers of Yinren Village, and most of their eyes were focused on the upcoming second competition. Few people even know that the dense stone tablets in the backyard of the Presbyterian Church have quietly added another name.

But those who stand in the shadows of the village and silently protect the village will not forget these people who died for the village. And the hideous wounds between He Hou's chest and abdomen also turned into marks and remained in the hearts of the three people present.

Qingzhu didn't know if this mission could be successfully completed, he had done his best and made the most reasonable deployment he could. Perhaps he will become a member of the backyard of the Presbyterian Church, just like He Hou. But he still hasn't slowed down, not even a bit.

Qingzhu knows, and Eagle and Teng Snake also know that it has nothing to do with courage. But there are too many people like He Hou who have given everything for Yinren Village. Their names are engraved not only in the backyard of the Presbyterian Church, but also in the hearts of many living people who protect the peace of the village.

This force takes root in their feet, and their progress will not waver, let alone slow down.

This power planted a soul in their hearts, so that their determination to fight would not shrink back, let alone give up.
