Long family, the head of the family Long Qingfeng is more than fifty years old, beautiful sideburns and beard, elegantly dressed, often smiling, looks like a learned Mr. general, on weekdays, Long Qingfeng likes to walk around the town, greet the townspeople with a smile, chat about family life, never be anxious with people, sometimes encounter someone in the town in trouble, Long Qingfeng will also immediately help, everyone in the town knows that the head of the Long family is a good old man who has never lost his temper.

No one could have imagined that at this moment, the head of the Long Qingfeng Dragon family was scolding at the core figures of the Long family on the main seat of the Long family: "What a normal rice bucket! Since the family got the secret news of Yinquan Town, the clan elder ordered our clan to move here for more than ten years, and a lot of means of overt and secret visits have been used, but you have not found out anything, and you are still the elite of the Long family! For more than a year, when the elder of the family asks, how do you ask me to answer? If I can't give the clan elder a satisfactory answer, our branch will not be able to say anything!"

The more than ten dragon family members sitting in the house were all submissive, unable to speak, so they could only answer in unison: "The subordinates are not doing well, please live and punish them!"

Long Qingfeng was about to scold again, a thin man sitting under Long Qingfeng, Long Qingfeng's second brother Long Qingleilong coughed, interrupted Long Qingfeng's words, and said: " Big brother, you can't blame everyone here for this matter, you also know, this town is weirdly tight, I think at the beginning, the eldest brother accepted the task of the clan elder, led the family to this place, just stepped into the town within a radius of 200 miles, the good hand of the family can no longer mobilize the internal force, just like ordinary people, that is, the clan elder has extended the five-year task period again and again, and we have only set this strategy of peaceful exploration, such strange things can appear, want to complete the task, everyone here is also difficult to hear. ”

Long Qingfeng pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, this is not the eldest brother's intention to blame, this damn place is also, everyone within a radius of two hundred miles is actually unable to mobilize internal force, and it is really strange to return to intact after this distance, I don't know why, the problem is that the task period is about to expire at this time, and the punishment of the family for the failure of the mission, you in charge of the torture hall know better than anyone else, and the eldest brother is also anxious." ”

Long Qinglei tightened his eyebrows and said, "This matter ......"

Suddenly, Long Qinglei's brows stretched, and he said: "This matter is not without a way out, has the eldest brother forgotten Long Yu, your eldest son, although eighteen years ago, when he was three years old, he was seen by the immortal family as extraordinary, and took away to learn the arts, but the immortal master left you a message incense from time to time, in case you really can't complete the task, in my opinion, it's better to ...... , if that immortal family appears, the clan elder can't say anything more!"

When it came to Long Yu, Long Qingfeng heard a burst of eyebrows fluttering, and a big stone seemed to be put down in his heart, and his face was full of pride that could not be concealed, and said: "The second brother is right, Long Yu is really a good brother, I think when the immortal family took away Long Yu, I said that when the incense is burned, the immortal family will definitely grant my family a wish, and the old man will not dare to go against the meaning of the immortal family." ”

Long Qingfeng tightened his eyebrows, and meditated in his heart: "It's just that this immortal family has only one chance to help, alas, it's just that, if it really doesn't work, it can only be like this." ”

At this time, seeing that Long Qingfeng's anger had disappeared a lot, Long Wuying, the leader of the Long family's secret probe who was in charge of information collection, stood up and said loudly: "Family master, my subordinates have something to report." ”

After Long Qingfeng focused his attention on himself, Long Wuying continued: "Over the years, we have wasted the boss's strength to stabilize in the town, the entire Hidden Spring Town, the elderly people in the town have been asked by us, and the legend says that the Divine Spring is indeed in the mountains and forests west of Hidden Spring Town.

"It's just that you can't use internal force, your subordinates can only use ordinary people's methods to explore the mountains and forests, as a result, this mountain forest is not only densely wooded, difficult to pass, there are all kinds of fierce beasts and poisonous insects in it, ordinary ones are just that, although the subordinates can't use internal force, but the skills are still there, they can always avoid the past, the problem is that some of the beasts in the forest seem to have become fine, not only the vigilance is greatly improved, but there will also be some demon laws, and the subordinates have lost a lot of manpower, and they are indeed unable to go deep. ”

"According to the information obtained by the subordinates, the depth of this mountain forest definitely exceeds the range of the forbidden internal force within a radius of two hundred miles from the town, but the place within this range has become a place of death, and it is impossible to enter it with the current manpower and means alone. At this, there was silence in the room.

Long Wuying took a sip of tea, and then said: "My subordinates have recently got a piece of news, there have been martial artists in the town, and there have been fights between them, and there has been no situation where internal force cannot be used. ”

"There used to be legends that there were treasures in the town, and there were many warriors who came to inquire about the situation, and there were many masters, but there were no exceptions, as long as they stepped into the range, they would be banned from internal force, and some people wanted to use extraordinary means to catch the townspeople for questioning, but these all died unexpectedly, and that's it, the people in the town are so xenophobic. ”

"Slowly, this matter will fade, plus this place is remote, the warriors no longer come here, and even the news of the divine spring has been covered up, until the clan elder inadvertently got the news, he will send me and others to investigate, but I didn't expect it to be a dead end. ”

Long Qingfeng closed his eyes and thought for a while, Long Qinglei took over and asked, "Then what about the investigation of the Stone Courtyard?"

Long Wuying replied: " Back to the words of the elders of the torture hall, speaking of this stone courtyard, you all know that it is notoriously weird in the town, and there are rumors that there are dirty things, I sent people to the hospital several times to investigate, and the results are the same, if it is said that entering the forest in the west of the city is nine deaths, then entering this courtyard is ten deaths, and there is basically no news after our people enter, even if they come out, they are crazy, talking nonsense, or we respond quickly, and transfer them quickly, so as not to attract the attention of the people in the town, but these people are bleeding within three days after they come out. The whole body was constricted and died, and the death was horrible. ”

Sighing, Long Wuying said: "This courtyard, the aborigines in the town only go crazy when they go in, and our people are a dead word when they go in, we have thought about demolishing the courtyard and going in directly, the problem is that the stone wall of this courtyard and the surrounding land have been dug up at all, and the few people who forcibly demolished the wall are also the same as the few people who entered the courtyard, all of them are dead." ”

"But there's one person. Long Wuying slowed down and said: "It's the orphan Ling Yun who was chased and beaten by the third young master, who often ran into it to hide, and often brought a leper dog in and out, but I didn't see anything wrong with him, and his subordinates were afraid that the third young master would chase him into the stone courtyard and have an accident, and he made a special trip to the third young master to tell him a few times that he must not enter the courtyard." ”

Long Qingfeng opened his eyes, sat up straight, and asked, "Have you checked it?"

Long Wuying hurriedly replied: "Go home, my subordinates have already sent someone to investigate, thinking that he is not a native of the town, and he is an orphan, I wanted to catch him and interrogate him, so as not to cause any trouble, but I went to three groups of people, all of whom disappeared inexplicably, and there was not even a trace left! ”

Hearing this news, Long Qingfeng was taken aback: "As far as I know, there is no one around this son except for the leper dog, and this kid is regarded as a disaster star by the town, and it is impossible for anyone to help him, even if there is, it should not be able to let the people you send out disappear inexplicably, plus the stone courtyard he entered and was unharmed, this matter is very strange." ”

"You don't have to send any more men to arrest them, lest you lose them in vain. After stopping and thinking for a moment, Long Qingfeng instructed the little guy beside him: "Go, bring the third young master to me." ”

After a while, the little servant brought Long Xuan to the house, and when Long Xuan saw it, the uncles and elders in the room shrank their necks, straightened their clothes, and respectfully greeted the elders, and bowed to Long Qingfeng, who was sitting in the seat: "My son has seen his father, dare to ask his father what is the matter with calling his son over?"

Long Qingfeng saw that his son was behaving properly, and he was also happy in his heart, and asked with a smile, "Can my son know Ling Yun, an orphan in the town?"

Long Xuan was stunned for a moment, and secretly thought to himself: "Could it be that I led someone to bully that bastard boy to dislike my father?" ”

Thinking of this, Long Xuan hurriedly responded: "My son knows that Ling Yun is an orphan adopted by the old man Ling in the town, and his son's playmates all say that he killed his grandmother, grandfather and neighbors, and the people in the town say that he is a disaster star, and tell their children not to approach him." ”

After a pause, Long Xuan continued: "My son saw that he often stole things on the street, so he took his friends to beat him a few times, and then he learned to be obedient, and when he saw us, he hid in that dilapidated yard. ”

Long Qingfeng pinched the armrest of the seat and asked nervously, "Xuan'er, have you ever entered that stone courtyard?"

Long Xuan saw that his father was so nervous, and hurriedly returned: "My son has never entered, I heard my partners say that there are ghosts in that courtyard, and Uncle Wuying also warned his son not to step into the stone courtyard for half a step, saying that something will happen." ”

Long Qingfeng relaxed, adjusted his posture in the seat, and said, "Xuan'er, there is something for my father to help you with, and you must do this well." ”

Long Xuan hurriedly said, "What does my father command?"

Long Qingfeng nodded, and said: "For my father, you must stop chasing and bullying Ling Yun, and you must befriend him as soon as possible, and secretly ask him clearly, why he can enter and exit the stone courtyard safely, and the others are either crazy or dead when they enter, what is there such a strange thing in the stone courtyard? This, you may be able to do it?"

Ren Longxuan has been smart since he was a child, and he has been taught by a famous teacher of the Long family since he was a child, but he didn't expect Long Qingfeng to have such a strange task to give him: befriend a disaster star, befriend an orphan who is usually bullied by himself, and secretly slandered for a while, but Long Xuan still agreed: "The son will live up to his father's expectations!"

Long Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction, waved at Long Xuan and said, "Xuan'er, you go out first, there is still something to discuss with your uncle for your father." ”

Long Xuan wanted to stay for a while, but the elders got together to discuss something, so he had to answer when he heard this, exited the house, and left with his hand covered the door.
