A path is paved with gravel from the bottom of the mountain, and the path is winding and secluded, leading to the end of the sky, and it looks like a huge earthworm.

At the end of the secluded path was a wide clearing, surrounded by piles of felled willow trees.

Further ahead is the ancestral house of the Hu family and the Ouyang family, tall and magnificent, and the owners of the obvious previous life are extraordinary people, who must have a prominent background and a glorious family.

Since the murder here, several people who guard the house have run away. In the continuation of the family's honor and life, it is not surprising that most of them choose the latter.

Luo Bing saw that the tree had grown for at least twenty years, the tree was hard, the annual rings were deep, and the cut at the broken part of the tree was smooth and clean, and it was indeed cut off by a sword.

If you want to cut down such a tree, you have to hold a sword with both hands, and it will take at least more than 500 catties to swing a sword.

Luo Bing squinted at Hu Shiqi and asked, "Did you really see the Headless Heavenly King?"

Hu Shiqi nodded busily, and several people glanced at each other, and they all felt that their limbs were cold, they had difficulty breathing, and their hands and feet were weak, and they no longer had the ability and courage to take a step forward.

Luo Bing didn't believe in the headless king, the previous dynasty Zetian Emperor also had the legend of the king, and afterwards it was just a trick, and the king was also a Buddha, how could there be a Buddha to block and kill the Buddha, and the Buddha to block the murder.

Everyone continued to follow Luo Bing in the direction of Ouyang Qing's ancestral house, the mood was heavy with every step, and the more they walked, the thicker the shade became.

The trees near the ancestral house have accumulated shade all year round, and there are more leaves and mud under your feet. After walking a few more steps, the front is even more muddy, it is already a deep foot and a shallow foot, Hu Shiqi's martial arts are poor and he is almost unable to walk, and the sound of "ding ding dong dong" is heard, and then there is a gurgling mountain spring.

Although the ravine is old, the spring water still tinkles, and the spring water is crystal clear.

Hu Shiqi saw that Luo Bing was silent looking at the spring water, and explained: "These houses are the ancestral houses left by Brother Ouyang and Yu Zushang, and this spring is where many people took water back then. ”

"Further on is the swamp, and there is no one all year round, only the hired watchman comes to play the watch every hour and shouts a whistle for fire prevention.

It is said that the headless king jumped up from the swamp and flew around like a bat.

Ouyang Qingqi said: "This is a swamp in front of me? I grew up here, how come I have never heard that this land is said to have been allocated to us by our ancestors for military exploits?"

Hu Shiqi shook his head slowly: "Hey, I don't know about this, legend has it that this has become the entrance to hell......"

Nan Yunfei shouted: "How can people in the public gate spread rumors at will! It is precisely because the emperor attaches great importance to this blessed land that Cheng Jin Wuwei Qianniu completed this matter, and the son said, 'Silent strange power and confusion'." ”

Luo Bing laughed and said: "Seeing Hu Shiqi intimidated like this, there is no need to lie, and the broken trees here are also very revealing, let's stay here for one night, and we will know if there are any ghosts here." ”

Nan Yunfei saw that the left and right people were all eyes on their foreheads, but they respected Luo Bing very much, and bowed deeply to Luo Bing and said: "There has never been a cow ghost snake god in the eyes of the beggar gang, and the person who comes here to kill people and set fire must not be the king of hell, it seems that he should be a martial arts master, in case he uses drugs such as incense again, I am afraid that we will all be lost here." ”

Before Luo Bing was born in the Criminal Department, he was the deputy leader of the beggar gang appointed by Shangguan Yi, and he was a first-class figure in terms of rivers and lakes and reputation, and Nanyun Fei respected Luo Bing very much.

Luo Bing's face turned from red to white, his heart tightened, Ouyang Qing's face was also not good-looking, both of them had suffered from incense last time, and they had lingering palpitations about it.

After a while, Luo Bing's brows suddenly stretched, his eyes lit up, and he said, "I have a way." We brought a condemned prisoner from the prison, tied him to a willow tree, and then the Dali Temple, the Punishment Department, and Qianniu surrounded him, and no one was allowed to enter or leave to see what the condemned prisoner could see after the night. If this death row prisoner can't see the headless king for several nights, then he will be frightened and dazzled. ”

Ouyang Qingwu hesitated and said: "Although this method is wonderful, it is inevitably not such a death method for that death row prisoner......

Nan Yunfei interrupted: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, I think Commander Luo's method is no better." “

Hu Shiqi also agreed, maybe the prisoner is dying for death, it is better to die early if he is tortured in the prison all day, Ouyang Qing is right to think about it carefully, most of the prisoners want to die when they are tortured but can't, if they really want to cut the death row prisoner, it will be a relief for the death row prisoner.

Luo Bing asked the Criminal Department to propose a death row prisoner from among the people who were beheaded by the Heavenly Prison Autumn Queen, give him a good meal and drink, and also make it clear to him, you will die sooner or later, and you can live safely overnight, so I will let you go.

Death row inmate Ming Zhi is about to die, watching how these people play with themselves. Most of these prisoners are political prisoners, and it is difficult to be tempted by any temptation. In the end, I finally understood and nodded.

In the evening, Ouyang Qing and Luo Bing tied this person to the willow tree with their own hands.

Ouyang Qing mobilized all the detectives, government officials, and arrest fast in Dali Temple, Luo Bing mobilized the men and horses of Jin Wuwei of the Criminal Department, Nan Yunfei also transferred more than 20 beggars to help five bags and six bags of disciples, and Hu Shiqi transferred all the officials under him to surround this bamboo forest.

Luo Bing saw that the defense was tight, and several people who didn't know the category could still look at each other, and he was relieved, and now the willow forest that the ants had been trying to enter had to climb over the backs of everyone's shoes.

The four of them were relieved at this time, and they were all satisfied after watching it. Luo Bing pulled Ouyang Qing and Nan Yunfei to buy peanuts and pig's head meat outside, Hu Shiqi sent a few jars of aged rice wine, and several people took the broken table and set it up to drink.

The first half of the night was naturally safe, and in the second half of the night, there was no movement.

Luo Bing, Ouyang Qing and Nan Yunfei each brought a few people, and they were patrolling outside the willow forest in shifts, but Hu Shiqi led everyone to patrol the post constantly to prevent the people standing guard from falling asleep, and to prevent the masters from outside from coming in and raiding.

Luo Bing's arrangement is even more radical, all the guards have to change the guard every two hours, and when the guard changes, they will receive half a tael of silver tattoos, and the ones who have one less round will scold at that point, and they will be in good spirits, and they will not go wrong.

There was nothing wrong all night, and according to Jin Wuwei, the birds flying in the sky wanted to shoot him down.

Luo Bing and Ouyang Qing glanced at each other and said, "Look at that death row prisoner." We were so tightly surrounded that it was difficult for ants to climb in, and I thought the man should be fine. ”

Nan Yunfei was called, and the three of them strode in quickly.

The face of the death row prisoner was exactly the same as the shape of the second Jin Wuwei, and the facial features were sunk in with one palm, and the two eyeballs flew to the willow tree opposite, and there were two more holes in the place where the eyeballs were originally eyeballs.

The teeth were completely protruding, and he bit viciously on one of his own severed arms, and it looked like someone had been stuffed into his mouth again!

The mutilated face, weird and hideously twisted, although I couldn't see the anger in my heart clearly, a sense of resentment and resentment gathered on the severed arm, wanting to tear it to pieces, biting the severed arm to the bone, how big this bite was, it was really indescribable!

Nan Yunfei has seen all kinds of scenes, but now he can't believe that he has eyes, he looked at the corpse in a trance, and suddenly let out an exclamation, and pulled out of the willow forest.

A spring breeze blew, and everyone suddenly felt a chill.

Ouyang Qing couldn't help but say, "Could it be that there are really yin and yang spirits, mountains and seas ghosts in this world?"

Luo Bing shook his head and said, "What a headless heavenly king, I definitely don't believe it, it must be some kind of master who is a demon." If you want to pass through this net of heaven and earth, you can see that this person's martial arts are only above you and me, not below you and me. ”

Ouyang Qing shook his head, shook his huge head and said, "It was difficult to defend mosquitoes and flies last night, even the prison of the Punishment Department was not so tight. Light work is like me, I can't get in, this person's light work is far better than me, and you and Chu Qiushui have a fight. ”

Luo Bing was stunned and said in a deep voice: "There are countless martial arts practitioners in the world, and there are many people who are high in martial arts and recluse, so it is not surprising that some people are stronger than us.

However, if this case is a famous person, we can verify it one by one. There are only seven or eight people in the world who have the ability to collapse people's faces with one palm, and then the three feet tall who flies on their bodies will hang them, and even fewer can enter and enter the encirclement freely last night.

The three of them held their heads and thought for a long time, they could have such internal strength and such clever light skills, maybe only the deceased hero Tiemoller and the mysterious heavenly demon, the day demon and the night demon who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

Nan Yunfei's martial arts night can only be said to be acceptable, thinking that he is only an elder of nine bags, I am afraid that he is still far from Lu Qian.

The road is long, and the wind can walk on its own, which is already considered to be a good recovery, and it is impossible to leap up three feet high.

Ouyang Qing smiled and said, wrenched his fingers, and said one by one: "There is no way to sum up the dead people, and they can only be found in the living that night."

Chu Qiushui is a decent person, and he is self-proclaimed, and he must have no interest in this kind of thing of robbing homes and pretending to be ghosts.

I don't know how high the Heavenly Demon martial arts are, but I think it's ordinary, and it seems that putting himself in danger is definitely not his approach. In this way, it can only be counted on the head of the underworld sword saint Li Wuning. ”

Luo Bing took it over and said lightly: "I still know what Li Wuning is like, and it is definitely not him." ”

Ouyang Qing hesitated: "Li Wuning is a person on the underworld, he has both motives and skills, why ......?"

Seeing Luo Bing's unhappy face, Ouyang Qing had always been aware of current affairs and stopped talking.

Luo Bing sat down at the table, holding his chin and thinking hard, for a long time, and finally said, "I still have an idea in my heart." ”

Ouyang Qing said: "You say." ”

Luo Bing said: "Lu Changfeng is upright, thoughtful in his work, and will not kill innocents indiscriminately. ”

Ouyang Qingzheng said: "I know that you have a very good relationship with Lu Changfeng, and I myself have a very good relationship with Lu Changfeng, and he is still the Dali Temple Qing personally ordered by the emperor, but I can't blame him for this......"

Luo Bing shook his head to stop him from speaking: "I'm not speaking for Lu Changfeng, everyone eats royal food, and everything must be for the sake of the royal family, what I want to say is just a conjecture."

It is unreasonable for Lu Changfeng to kill people, unless someone else wants to kill his closest relatives, or his closest relatives are forced. ”

Ouyang Qingqi said: "His master, who is his master?"

Luo Bing said: "Lu Changfeng's father is the great hero Tie Mole fifteen years ago, his master is the Red Line Woman, and Tie Mole is a knight who was recognized as unparalleled in the world twenty years ago. The red-line girl is the most famous heroine after Tiemoller, who was disheartened by the blood she saw in the Anshi Rebellion, and eloped with Li Jing without leaving the rivers and lakes. ”

Although Ouyang Qing is not a person in the rivers and lakes, he has been walking the rivers and lakes all the year round, and he is familiar with martial arts anecdotes, and he is very familiar with the heroes Tiemoller and the Red Line Woman. His face changed slightly, but Luo Bing's words were right in his own heart: "No wonder I always feel that Lu Changfeng and Tiemoller's portraits are a little similar...... But what does that mean?"

Luo Bing said: "I have always suspected that Dugu Linglong is a heavenly demon if he is not dead. At that time, the Demon Sect rarely walked the rivers and lakes, and even less approached the Central Plains, and did not know that the string in Dugu Linglong's brain was wrong, so he took refuge in An Lushan.

Dugu Linglong was originally a combination of yin and yang, and his mother died in childbirth when he gave birth to his brother and sister, and Dugu Linglong was already dead. But he was born with a Tibetan lama and cured his brother and sister of illness, but he couldn't separate the brother and sister and gave him a book of swordsmanship.

Dugu Linglong has an extreme and perverse personality since he was a child, is arrogant, has strong martial arts, and has a wide range of contacts north of the Tianshan Mountains. In the past, there was another big family in Tianshan, named Tianjizi, the martial arts of Tianjizi were unheard of, and he lived in seclusion for many years.

It's a pity that Tianjizi somehow didn't want to be lonely and reappeared in the rivers and lakes, and it is very likely that he will use the name of the Heavenly Demon to compete for the world, and Tianjizi has two apprentices, that is, the famous Shuiquan Night Demon and the Kunlun Holy Realm Sun Demon. ”

Ouyang Qingshang didn't know that there were still these in the rivers and lakes, so he opened his mouth wide and hesitated: "But the martial arts of the heavenly demon ......"

Luo Bing said categorically: "You can pretend to be low in martial arts, but you can't pretend to be high in martial arts." ”

Ouyang Qing stroked the flying fish sword in his hand and said, "This can't be beaten by Lu Changfeng......

Luo Bing said: "Tianjizi is the master of the great hero Tiemoller, and he was originally a Dawan person. There are two possibilities, one is this, and the other is that Lu Changfeng did not kill anyone at all, and it was all framed by others. ”

Ouyang Qing shook his head slowly: "This situation is so big, few people in the world can manipulate it, I don't believe that anyone can set up such a situation, the ability to set up a bureau alone is enough for the town government to make a position, why bother." ”

Luo Bingjian's eyebrows raised, and he said: "Although the identity of the Heavenly Demon is hidden, at least I know that he will be the Night Emperor Cold Ice Palm, the Night Emperor had a deep friendship with the Red Line Woman in the past, how could he pass the Cold Ice Palm to the Heavenly Demon." Why don't I go to Shaolin Temple, ask for advice, and by the way, I can ask Master Kongjian a good morning or know some clues. ”

Ouyang Qingqi said: "Empty news? Could it be that he is a senior monk in the Western Regions who has swept all his life in Shaolin Temple? It's just that he doesn't see outsiders, and it is said that he can't even speak well, how can you see him?"

Luo Bing smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about this, my master has had a friendship with Kong Wen, and it shouldn't be difficult to see him." ”

Chu Qiuyan came over and shouted to eat, Luo Bing and Ouyang Qing called Nan Yunfei to go to the wine shop to drink and eat, except for Ouyang Qing's slightly inferior amount of wine, Luo Bing and Nan Yunfei's amount of alcohol was really amazing.

After the six altars were lit in front of him, Nan Yunfei pursed his lips, this wine is too new, you should find some old wine to mix it down, this wine has a taste, and it is still too light now.

Chu Qiuyan listened to the apricot eyes next to him, and he was furious, but there were three officials and three heroes, and any one of them was not a mortal, so he held his breath in his chest and hummed in his mouth.

The dishes are also very rich, the eel in Luoyang Kuiyuan Pavilion, the fire pei chicken in Nanshannan, the stinky osmanthus fish in Huixiang Piyun Mansion, Chu Qiuyan added a few boiled peanut shells by himself, and fried a good ham Shifang, and the three of them ate it so much that their father and mother had two stomachs.

Drinking from noon to evening, and from night to night, the wine on Chu Qiu's cigarette rack was almost empty, Ouyang Qing was really embarrassed, and wrote a letter begging Chu Qiuyan to send it to Bao Ziyun, saying that there was a good thing, Chu Qiuyan was puzzled and left.

How do you know that there is nothing else in the letter but I am looking for Bao Ziyun to ask for wine, after receiving the letter from Engong, I originally thought that it was a good time to repay the favor when something big happened, but Bao Ziyun just asked for wine, which is simply not a thing!

Let Chu Qiuyan wait for a while, asked how much imperial wine was still offered by the state capitals in the Ouchi Imperial Dining Room, and loaded a whole carriage for Chu Qiuyan, and it was a four-horse horse-drawn wagon.

Along the way, no matter the drunkards, they all salivated and swallowed it, and their eyes flew out of the general exclamation, where did this come from, where did it come from?

Such rumors really didn't come out in a few days, and there was a wine shop in Luoyang that only cost 100,000 taels of silver to drink, which was an authentic royal wine, where could the non-idle people drink it.

It was even rumored that Chu Qiuyan was the illegitimate sister of the current saint, and for a while Chu Qiuyan made a lot of money. I originally added a bowl of imperial liquor to each jar, and the original five copper plates were one jar, and now the value has also flown to 10,000 tons of silver, so I have to wait in line to sell.

The qi held in Chu Qiuyan's chest finally turned into the best rouge in Luoyang's "Jian Shi Zhai".

The next day after drinking, people go to Shaolin.

Luo Bing finally took a shower, changed into clothes that looked like clothes, the ragged beggar Chu Qiuyan pinched his nose and threw it into the stove fire, according to Chu Qiuyan, that dress alone was enough to cook a big rooster.

The journey to Songshan is not far, but the task is very arduous, and Ouyang Qing is very reluctant to go, so he has to give Luo Bing a ride.

The two rode side by side, walking for about ten miles, Luo Bing saw that it had been a long time, and said: "Brother Ouyang, let's go back, Dali Temple still has little to do with the Internal Affairs Office, and the emperor will have ideas." “

Ouyang Qing nodded, pondering his own behavior, he was still a little immature in front of Luo Bing and Ouyang Qing.

Ouyang Qing was preoccupied, returned to Dali Temple to sit down, and just made a pot of tea.

After drinking a pot of water, someone rushed over in a panic and shouted: "Report to the commander, it's not good, the deputy of the cold team has an accident!
