Take away the plank, there is a bamboo ladder underneath, be on guard, Li Zhengdao went down the ladder, and Bai Miaozhen was on guard on the top.

"There is no danger. A moment later, Li Zhengdao's voice came from below.

Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen breathed a sigh of relief, and also went down the ladder, inside was a one-zhang square space, and there was a ground stake in the middle, which was buried in the soil with a thick tree trunk, with many dents on it, as if it was strangled by something, and there was an oil lamp on the wall on one side, which had been lit by Li Zhengdao at the moment.

In the dim light, there was nothing else in the basement.

"That's all?" Sun Xiaoman said unexpectedly.

Li Zhengdao let out a sigh of relief, nodded silently, and the three of them climbed up the bamboo ladder again, and saw Ying Wuxin lying on the bed, sniffing his nose constantly.

"What are you doing, this is someone's husband-husband and wife's bed, you are actually-" Sun Xiaoman pointed at Ying Wuxin, blushing, and said with a little shame in anger.

"What do you think?" Ying Wuxin rolled his eyes back and said, "There is no smell?"

Li Zhengdao was slightly distracted, reacted when he heard the words, and then spoke: "There is only one person-high wooden stake in the basement below, and there are many dented strangulation marks on it, which should be caused by iron chains, and there is no other place or passage, not like a place where Wang Zhong does something bad privately." ”

Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen glanced at each other, their faces were a little gray, and the first time they conducted an investigation, they were not good, which made them very shocked, and their expressions were a little depressed.

Ying unintentionally shrugged his shoulders relaxed, spread his hands and said: "Now that everyone has left, there is no clue, so we can take the opportunity to give up, rest for one night, and go to Taoxi Town tomorrow." ”

Li Zhengdao looked a little uncomfortable, nodded with a reluctant smile, came out with the two junior sisters, and closed the door of the inner room.

"Do you still eat it?" asked Wang Banxian, who was stuffing steamed buns in his mouth and squatting on the bench.

Ying Wuxin scolded angrily: "You have eaten it all, what do you want people to eat? This kind of false politeness will be exempted in the future, and I can't afford to lose that person." ”

Wang Banxian was embarrassed for a while, and when he glanced at the dishes and water, there were no plates left, and he felt very embarrassed.

"It's okay, we usually have dry food with us. Li Zhengdao smiled generously, walked to the side of the bench and sat down, and took out an oiled paper bag from the package on his body, which was filled with jerky, with a special aroma, definitely not ordinary jerky.

Wang Banxian smelled it, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but stretch out his head, but he was slapped back by Ying Wuxin, and then honestly cleaned up the table and went to the kitchen to boil hot water.

Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen also each brought dried meat, and while eating, they thought about things silently.

As the night deepened, the croaking of the frogs gradually thinned out, and the cool breeze after the rain blew, and the house became much cooler.

Wang Banxian made tea, beckoned everyone to use it together, several people drank coarse tea, and then each found a place to practice, as for Wang Banxian, he still leaned against the door to nap, this is the only safe place he can find that is comfortable and relatively close to everyone.

Da-da-da-da.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Ying Wuxin's body moved, opened his eyes, and Li Zhengdao next to him did the same, only Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen, as well as Wang Banxian at the door, still did not move.

The two looked at each other, got up quietly, and walked towards the door.

In the dim night, the night wind blew the other door shut at some point, leaving only the one where Wang Banxian was sleeping still open.

Ying Wuxin lightly gestured to Li Zhengdao, signaling that the voice was coming from the backyard, and he went to investigate first.

Li Zhengdao saw that the door was opened, and he could only pass through one person, so he had to nod his head and agree, and pressed the formation in the back.

Holding his breath, he was about to fly out, but when he thought of something, he stopped, his nose exhaled two breaths, deliberately aggravated his breathing, and walked outside with heavy steps.

Li Zhengdao realized something, and his eyes showed appreciation.

Walking to the backyard step by step, Ying Wuxin's body gradually relaxed, and his steps became a lot lighter.

"Have you thought about it?" A hoarse voice came from under the dark grass shed in the backyard, unable to distinguish between men and women.

Ying Wuxin's ears moved, and he only heard an extremely slight and long breathing sound, the other party was definitely a cultivator, and his cultivation was not low.

Whew-

Just when Ying Wuxin was thinking about how to get more words from the other party, a strong wind howled under the grass shed, and a black shadow shot away, heading straight into the distance.

"Discovered?" Ying Wuxin was a little surprised, flying over the courtyard wall, and had lost the trace of the other party.

Listening to the wind technique unfolded, he captured the other party's position again, and Ying Wuxin flew out, and a black shadow in front of him whispered: "Brother Wuxin." ”

"Brother Dao. ”

"Did you find anything?"

"I was discovered by the other party, and I didn't get anything out. Ying Wuxin said with some annoyance.

"The other party is too vigilant, I'm afraid that we have already been discovered, and we must be careful now. Li Zhengdao reminded.

"Don't worry, I have always paid attention to the situation in Wang Zhong's house, and I will not let outsiders approach. ”

The two of them chased forward together, and the dragonfly crossed the water and the grass like a little water, and in a moment they had chased out for three or four miles, and the water in front of them roared, and a torrent rushed in the ravine, and the guy who was being chased had completely disappeared without a trace.

"What a cunning fellow, he got rid of us so quickly. Ying clenched his fist with hatred, his wind hearing technique could no longer hear the man's voice, and the result was obvious, he must have fallen into this roaring torrent.

It could be down the river, or it could go upstream, but in any case, listening to the wind won't work here.

"Let's go back. Lee Jeong-do proposed.

Seeing that it was unthinkable, Ying Wuxin had no choice but to nod and agree, and the two returned together.

"What was the intention of that person to come to Wang Zhong's house just now?"

"I only heard one sentence, and asked Wang Zhong if he had thought about it, but I can't be sure whether this is true or not, maybe the other party already knew about us and deliberately shook us. ”

"The White Tigers in the county town have gone back after being beaten, and there has been no movement so far, could it be their handiwork?" Li Zhengdao said with some worry.

"Those guys are used to bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, if they wanted to retaliate, they would have taken action against us a long time ago, since they didn't, it means that your name is very useful, and they don't have the courage to offend us again. Ying Wuxin smiled.

Then the two talked while walking, and discussed many possibilities, but because there were too few clues, they were never able to confirm anything.

Returning to Wang Zhong's house, everything was as usual, looking at each other, the two smiled with relief, went in lightly again, sat down separately, emptied their bodies and minds, and entered the state of cultivation.

There was nothing to say for the rest of the night, and in the morning, the sky was bright, several people opened their eyes one after another, washed up briefly, and the five of them walked out of Wang Zhong's house.

The morning sun was like fire, spitting streams of scorching heat, and even the air was distorted by the baking.

On the official road not far away, pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages have appeared, going back and forth.

The group got on the official road, a carriage drove over, and a young man about twenty years old greeted with a smile: "Masters, do you want to take the car?"
