It turned out that the Yumen Pass was under the governance of General Lu, and the investigation was extremely strict, but anyone who entered and exited the Yumen Pass had to be recorded with their identity documents. Master Zhou was ordered to investigate Ning Cui's whereabouts, and he actually saw this name on the record of leaving Yumen Pass two days ago, and he arrived a day earlier than Xie Yixiang and others. When he questioned the sergeant guarding the city, he also had a deep impression of this Ning Cui, who was a very beautiful Han woman, about 20 years old, who hired a carriage to go out of the customs alone. Because the soldiers guarding the pass have been stationed in this remote place all the year round, they suddenly saw such a beautiful Han woman, and she was alone, so she had to say a few words lightly to coax her. But in the end, he didn't do anything to the woman, and let her go out of the jade gate.

Hearing Master Zhou's story, Xie Yixiang hurriedly asked those sergeants if they were okay, and Master Zhou couldn't help but be puzzled and said, "Naturally, it's fine." Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and were silent. Since they saw the beggar gang Lanzhou who was slaughtered by Ning Cui a few days ago, although the two of them disagreed, there was a faint trace of admiration in their hearts. With Ning Cui's ability, she could have made those outspoken sergeants suffer a little, but she easily let them go, it seems that although this "face-ripping demon" is ruthless, it is not indiscriminate killing innocent people.

But in this way, since Ning Cui has already left the Yumen Pass, it means that she will no longer participate in the "Yumen Walking Corpse" case here, and most of them will go to the Tianshan Mountains in the northwest and wait for the last case she left behind, "Tianshan Falling Dragon". At this moment, the merchant finally came back, and when he heard Master Zhou talk about Ning Cui's whereabouts, he even had to go to catch up.

Xie Yixiang hurriedly dissuaded, saying that Ning Cui had left two days earlier, and he might not dare to chase after him. Shang Buqi couldn't help but sneer: "I have dealt with that girl many times, and I know that she is known for her cleanliness and can't smell the smell of animals, so she will never ride a horse, let alone ride a camel." Since she hired a carriage to move forward, we only need to prepare six fast horses to gallop alternately, and within three days, we should be able to intercept her on the official road!" Xie Yixiang still disagreed, saying that Ning Cui had always been elusive, and she was worried that her registration and exit was in the wrong place, and if she gave up the "Yumen Walking Corpse" case, she was afraid that Ning Cui would not show up again.

Shang Buqi saw that Xie Yixiang insisted on not chasing, knowing that by himself, even if he could catch up with Ning Cui, he would not be able to catch her, so he had to scold a few times and give up. Xie Yixiang asked him again about the investigation results of the "Yumen Walking Corpse" case, and Shang Buqi snorted coldly and said: "This case is not difficult to solve, let alone a strange case, and it is even far less than the previous two cases. After my investigation this night, I already know the secret trick of the 'Yinshan Hall', but the so-called 'corpse chasing technique' is still a little unclear, and I need to wait until I see it with my own eyes tomorrow night to judge. In other words, I have now reached the conclusion of this case, but the process of committing the crime is not clear. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yixiang hurriedly asked, Shang Bu didn't want to say it, but when he saw Xian Jingyue with a cold face next to him, he finally had to drop a sentence and said: "In the final analysis, it's just the word 'profit', and the reason why 'Yinshan Tang' is so pretending to be a ghost is not to smuggle it away." The so-called 'Yumen walking corpse' is actually 'Yumen smuggling'. After that, he ignored the two of them and went back to the house alone to rest.

It is said that Shang does not abandon his daily life and claims to be "the first god of the past and present", although it is a bit exaggerated, but after this contact, this Beiping god does have some real skills, and his judgment has never made any mistakes. Now that he has asserted that the purpose of the "Yin Mountain Hall" is to smuggle people, there must be nothing wrong, but he doesn't know what he has found. That time, Master Zhou hurriedly said goodbye to Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue, rushed back to the barracks to report to General Lu, and agreed with the two to meet on the tower of Yumen Pass at one o'clock tomorrow night.

So Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue didn't think much about it, so they wandered around the streets behind the city wall of Yumen Pass. After returning to the inn, the two were really bored, so they had to discuss martial arts. Xie Yixiang discussed with his senior brother the "melting fragrance decision" he realized under the guidance of Yan Sidao, hoping to reflect each other and benefit both parties. Unexpectedly, since Xian Jingyue realized the realm of "Murderous Imperial Sword", he has never learned other martial arts, and even several sets of sword techniques taught by the previous master Sword King have been abandoned, and he just practiced the trick "Splitting Huashan alone" over and over again, so as to polish it to the extreme. Therefore, Xie Yixiang's "melting incense" principle is useless to him here.

However, for Xie Yixiang, the true meaning of "Rongxiang Duel" is to integrate the strengths of various martial arts together and turn them into their own use, so the more martial arts you learn, the better. It is said that when the sword king taught Xie Yixiang the knife technique, he was worried that she was a little girl who was greedy and could not chew too much, so he only taught her the two most exquisite knife techniques, "Random Knife" and "Away from the Knife". Since the Sword King can be called the Sword King, there are dozens of sword techniques he knows, but he has not taught her. So Xian Jingyue taught Xie Yixiang all the four sets of knife techniques he had learned before, such as "Eighteen Styles of Sudden Slashing", "Starfire Knife Method", "Eight Doors of Life and Death Knife" and "Three Swords of Heaven Splitting".

Since these four sets of knife techniques were all created by the king of knives, they went all the way with what Xie Yixiang had learned before, and it can even be said that they were the introductory knife techniques of "chaotic knife" and "leaving the knife". After Xie Yixiang finished learning these four sets of knife techniques, he closed his eyes and meditated on a meal, and finally comprehended it, and embraced all the rivers with the wonderful meaning of "melting incense", and integrated all the moves into one. Looking outside the house again, it was already the afternoon of the second day, and it took more than a dozen hours for the two of them to discuss and forget to sleep and eat.

Xie Yixiang remembered that she still had the "Water Mirror Treasure Record" given by Hai Yisu that day, and she had read it a few times in the past few days, but because she couldn't calm down, she felt dizzy when she saw the words on the book. She was about to ask her senior brother for this kung fu, but the proprietress of the inn suddenly knocked on the door and said that General Lu's staff Master Zhou asked to see her.

The two hurriedly cleaned up and came out of the house together. The proprietress saw that the young man and woman had been in the room for a day and a night, and they looked a little tired, obviously not sleeping, and couldn't help but secretly speak. The two came downstairs, but saw that Shang Buqi was already chatting with Master Zhou, but it was General Lu who heard that Shang Buqi had broken through the intention of "Yinshan Hall", but it was to take away smuggling, so he attached great importance to it and asked Master Zhou to invite the three of them to meet on the wall of Yumen Pass in advance.

It is said that the city wall of this Yumen Pass stretches for several miles, about 20 zhang high, about 10 zhang thick, different from the ordinary city wall, the city wall of this Yumen Pass is actually solid, it is made of a piece of rock, and then the grout is filled with Sanhe soil. Therefore, even if it is bombarded by artillery, it can only hurt the skin. The three of them followed Master Zhou all the way to the city wall, only to find that the left and right city walls near the city gate actually protruded outward, stretching out more than ten zhang distance, about three zhang wide, so as to form a "concave" character shape at the city gate; it is conceivable that if the enemy forcibly attacks the city gate of the Yumen Gate, it will be at the gap of this "concave" word, and at the same time face the arrow stones of the left, right, and front three sides.

General Na Lu was already waiting on the city wall, and ordered a table of food to be set up, and there was another staff member Lu Shi Ye who he had met yesterday, and in addition to that, there were fifty other pro-army guards beside him. Master Na Lu hurriedly beckoned everyone to take their seats and said, "I'm really sorry, according to the military order of Yumen Pass, except for the six days of Chinese New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival, Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, Chongyang and Winter Solstice, alcohol is prohibited in the army, so there is no alcohol to entertain you." The three of them hurriedly said, "I'm not going to drink." ”

So the six of them ate and chatted on the city wall, and during the banquet, General Lu asked Shang Buqi about the details of the smuggling of the "Yinshan Hall", but Shang Buqi wanted to play a trick and said: "It's just a random speculation by someone Shang, and I can't count it." There is a way to catch thieves and take stolen goods, whether the Taoist priests of 'Yinshan Hall' are smuggled or not, you can find out tonight, and catch them on the spot. ”
