Ye Feng waited all night, but he didn't see Tang Yu come back. In the end, he and Xie Zhenliang fell asleep in a daze under the thunderous snoring of the fat man.

When I woke up again, it was already dawn, and Sun Feng and Zhou Lei were standing at the door, reporting that the owner of the village, Lin Shoucheng, had sent someone to invite everyone to the bamboo cottage in the backyard. Ye Feng and Xie Zhenliang glanced at each other, and they both chuckled in their hearts, something was wrong.

By the time they called the boss Tu Wushu and Master Lichen and his party to rush to the bamboo forest, the bamboo forest had been blocked by more than 20 Zhuang Ding. Lin Shoucheng stood in front of the door of the hut with a frown, and beside him was Ren Jiu, the little catcher with a sad face, with the three catchers, and a young man who looked like a scholar in a yellow shirt was standing.

Seeing everyone coming, the yellow-shirted scholar stepped forward a few steps to salute one by one, everyone knew their names, all of them were accurate, and even the dust master who had rarely stepped out of the Shaolin Temple did not admit his mistake, which surprised everyone, who is this person?

After the yellow-shirted scholar finished the ceremony, he looked at the surprised looks on everyone's faces, smiled slightly and introduced himself: "At the end of the Xiajiang Lake, Murong Wencai." ”

Master Lichen raised his eyebrows and asked, "On the shore of Taihu Lake, Gusu Murong?"

The yellow-shirted scholar replied respectfully: "Murong Haohua, the contemporary patriarch of the Murong family, is the father of the family. ”

Situ Wuxian rolled his eyes: "Gusu Murong has not asked about the rivers and lakes for many years, but why is he wading into this troubled water today?"

Murong Wencai smiled: "It's just because of the legend in the rivers and lakes that many well-known swordsmen in the rivers and lakes may have died under the Murong family's tricks of using the other way to return to the other's skills, so my father asked me to investigate, and I heard that the imperial court Jinyi Wei was investigating the case in Tingtao Villa, so I hurriedly came to visit this morning." ”

Situ Wuxian squinted at Ye Feng and snorted from his nose: "What about Jinyiwei, it's not clueless." ”

Ye Feng ignored him, turned his head to Lin Shoucheng and said, "Lord Lin invited us over and don't know why?"

Lin Shoucheng sighed: "There was a bloody case here last night, so everyone came to check." He pointed to a corpse covered with a white cloth on the side.

Lifting the white cloth, Ye Feng and the others all recognized that it was the middle-aged man in green shirts who bowed his head and swept the floor in front of this hut.

Lin Shoucheng said: "Because my father is recuperating in this hut, there are more than a dozen secret sentinels in the bamboo forest to take care of everything, but last night he was all killed, and he didn't expect that even the one guarding the door was also poisoned." ”

Murong Wencai asked, "The person guarding the old owner must not be an ordinary person, I don't know who this person is?"

Lin Shoucheng sighed and said, "He is Gu Qingyi, one of the Wudang double swords back then!"

Everyone has changed color, Gu Qingyi is a famous Wudang guest, and his senior brother Liu Qingyun have been personally ordered by Zhang Sanfeng Zhenren to do martial arts, there are few opponents in the rivers and lakes, their master Li Xuanzong is one of the three elders of Wudang who was defeated under Lin Suifeng's sword back then, and now he is dead here, if he does not find out the murderer, I am afraid that the grudge between Tingtao Villa and the Wudang faction will be great.

Ye Feng and the two righteous brothers had heard the speculation about Gu Qingyi's identity from Tang Yu before, so they just glanced at each other and were not so surprised.

Master Lichen folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name and asked, "Who did it?"

Lin Shoucheng said: "Judging from the corpses in the bamboo forest, those secret whistles all died at the hands of black and white ghosts, but some things were also found in the bamboo forest," he spread out his hand, and there were more than a dozen hidden weapons of different forms in his palm, "Tangmen secret weapons!"

Ye Feng's heart tightened, and asked, "Someone died under the secret weapon?"

Lin Shoucheng shook his head: "This is strange, no one died under the hidden weapon in the forest, and there were traces of blood and fighting where the hidden weapon was found, but there was no body." ”

He raised his eyes and glanced at everyone, and asked, "Tang Yu, where is Tang Gongzi?"

Everyone shook their heads, but no one had seen him today. Ye Feng and the others also shook their heads, they couldn't tell Lin Shoucheng that Tang Yu secretly came to the hut to visit the hut last night, and then there was a bloody case in the hut. Except for Tang Yu himself, I'm afraid no one knows what happened here in the hut last night.

Murong Wencai said: "With the martial arts of the black and white ghosts and Tang Yu, it is more than enough to kill the secret whistle in the bamboo forest, but to say that to kill Gu Qingyi, I am afraid that I have not been able to catch it." I heard that Gu Qingyi's swordsmanship has been practiced to the point where it is not inferior to that of the old owner of Lin back then, and even if these three join forces, I am afraid that they will not be his opponents. ”

Lin Shoucheng nodded and said, "Indeed." Judging from the scene, Mr. Gu left other people's blood stains in front of him and the Qimen weapon of the who was broken by the sword qi, it is conceivable that the black and white ghosts were defeated by Mr. Gu's hands, and they may have been injured under his sword, but Mr. Gu's fatal wound was in the back, it was injured by the sword qi, and someone must have suddenly attacked from behind the house and stabbed Mr. Gu with the sword qi. ”

Everyone was amazed, Gu Qingyi was famous for his swordsmanship, and someone actually attacked and killed him with sword qi, and everyone paid attention to the yellow-shirted scholar Murong Wencai.

Murong Wencai shrugged innocently: "This can't be the Murong family's method at all. The Murong family's so-called way of giving back to the other is actually a kind of internal skill that we have been practicing since we were children, called Dou Zhuan Xing. Its main purpose is to use the force to fight, somewhat similar to the principle of four or two thousand pounds, to guide the opponent's attacks and moves back back, so the stronger the opponent's moves, the stronger the counterattack. In addition to the cultivation of one's own internal strength, it is also necessary to understand the opponent's martial arts moves and find out the weaknesses, which is by no means as divine as it is rumored that you can use any opponent's tricks to counter the opponent. ”

Master Lichen said: "To understand the weaknesses of the world's martial arts moves and study them, it is no wonder that Gusu Murong's Swallow Dock is known as the place with the most and most complete martial arts classics in the world." ”

Murong Wencai said: "This is all due to the dedication of the ancestors of the Murong family to collect seven or eight out of ten martial arts in the world, but there are still many secret martial arts that cannot be collected." What's more, people's energy is limited, and I only know a thing or two about this vast martial arts classic. ”

Hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly remembered that in the Huashan Secret Cave, Tang Da told him that the Tang Sect had also collected seven or eight of the world's well-known martial arts secret books, and it seemed that they were all plotting greatly.

Lin Shoucheng said in a deep voice: "I also think that this should have nothing to do with the Murong family. Judging from the footprints behind the house, this person had been hiding behind the house for a long time, and he had been planning for a long time to sneak attack while Mr. Gu and the black and white ghosts were moving. I think about it, there is only one person who can kill Mr. Gu with such martial arts and has something to do with the black and white ghosts, and that is the chief owner of the 36th village of the green forest, the old man of Yunlong Sanxianfeng. However, the old man Feng has always been secretive, although the legend is that the martial arts are extremely high, but he has never heard of being proficient in swordsmanship, and today, his swordsmanship is not even under his father. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Ye Feng asked, "Old Man Feng is an underworld giant, what is the purpose of attacking and killing Mr. Gu so much?"

Lin Shoucheng shook his head and said: "This is the strangest place, they neither entered the house to harass their father, nor did they touch anything in the house, as if they just left." ”

He turned to Ye Feng and said, "Tang Yu Tang Gongzi has also disappeared since then, and no one has seen him again." I have already ordered to go down and search with all my might, it seems that what happened last night can only be found by finding Tang Gongzi first. ”

Ye Feng nodded, his worry about Tang Yu in his heart was even heavier, the hidden weapon and blood stains in the bamboo forest, Tang Yu's disappearance must have been an accident, there was no body to mean that he might still be alive, but why didn't he come back?

Lin Shoucheng then announced: "For the safety of my father, the village will temporarily close the bamboo forest in the backyard, and the Zhuang Zhuang Ding and Ren Catcher will lead the catcher to be responsible for guarding, please do not enter here without permission in the future, and I hope you will forgive me for any offense." ”

Everyone nodded yes. Lin Shoucheng invited everyone to the front hall to talk, so everyone left one after another. Ye Feng looked at the hut in the bamboo forest, and had some doubts in his heart, since there was a murder, it was normal to block the surrounding area, but why did he still let the old owner stay in this house, wasn't he worried about his safety at all? Or was there another reason?

Ye Feng raised his eyes and saw that Ren Jiu, the little catcher, was arranging for his three catchers and a group of Zhuang Ding to stay behind and guard the hut in turn, and his brows furrowed.

The missing Tang Yu, the sudden arrival of Gusu Murong, the kind and kind Master Chen, the sneering Situ Wuxian, and the childish little catcher with three mysterious catchers, and the old man of Yunlong Sanxianfeng who hid in the shadows and did not appear, Ye Feng felt that the fog in Tingtao Villa was getting heavier and heavier.
