This is the "Zhenjian Pavilion". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, the Zhenjian Pavilion does not have the right to select and teach outer disciples, and only has the duty of governance, so it is not included in the division of "County Sword Pavilion - Prefecture Sword Pavilion - County Sword Pavilion".
When Song Mingting and his party came to the front of the Zhenjian Pavilion, the pavilion master and two Sword Pavilion officials had already greeted them in front of the door.
Seeing the arrival of six people, the three of them hurriedly greeted them.
"It's really hard for a few mountain envoys to come from afar, and I blame them for being incompetent and unable to solve this matter. "It's the pavilion master of the Zhenjian Pavilion who speaks.
The pavilion masters of Zhenjian Pavilion are generally served by the elders of the outer gate who have reached the peak stage of cultivation, and these outer gate elders are often born in the local area and are familiar with the local people. In the Guizang Sword Pavilion, although the inner disciples and the true disciples can call each other senior brothers, the outer disciples cannot.
Therefore, although this outer gate elder is older than Song Mingting and the others, he is not qualified to call Song Mingting's six people his nephews.
Zhang Hualing did not slack off because the other party's status was not as good as his own, and his attitude was also very polite: "The pavilion master is polite, I don't know what the pavilion master is called?"
The middle-aged pavilion master hurriedly said: "My surname is Li, these two are the deputy pavilion masters in the pavilion, this is the deputy pavilion master Zhang, who is in charge of public security, and this is the deputy pavilion master of Qian, who is in charge of money and grain." ā
Zhang Hualing walked in with Pavilion Master Li and cut straight to the topic: "What's going on?"
The three of them didn't expect him to enter the subject so quickly, and they couldn't react for a while, but after reacting, their faces changed, and there was more fear on their faces.
"It's a long story, let's talk about it first. Li Ge said.
He had a rich face, and the perennial trivialities and the not-so-frilled life had worn out his heart for the Tao, and it had also blown up his belly a little.
Perhaps this case was the most difficult thing he had ever encountered in his monastic career, so he had obvious sorrow on his face.
When a few people entered the house, Zhang Hualing stopped the other party from serving tea, and continued the topic just now: "So what's going on? ā
Pavilion Master Li smiled reluctantly, and then said: "Brother Shi Yang is in charge of public security, and he knows more about what happened than me, so Brother Shi Yang will tell you about the specific situation, Brother Shi Yang, I'm sorry for you." ā
The last sentence was said to Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang, obviously, Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang's name was Shi Yang.
The powerful Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang nodded again and again, and then spoke: "Several mountain envoys, here's the thing, three months ago, a loose cultivator came to report the case, saying that his companion was missing, and no one was alive or dead. ā
"At first, we didn't pay much attention to it, because the casual cultivators often sleep in the open and have no fixed place, and they are prone to danger, and they may die in a certain treasure hunt, so for us, it is normal for the scattered cultivators to disappear, and it is not that there are no scattered cultivators in the past. ā
Song Mingting and the others all nodded, this is indeed a fact, and it is also the status quo of the vast majority of scattered cultivators.
But then, there was a hint of fear on Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang's face.
"But then things got more and more wrong, because there were so many missing people, far beyond the normal situation, and all these missing people were alive and dead!"
"A few mountain envoys, you think, even if they are killed by demon beasts or demon cultivators or evil creatures, there should always be corpses, right? It can't be a corpse, there is not a single wreckage, right? But there is no! These people really seem to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace at all. ā
Speaking of this, Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang's voice couldn't help but tremble, and listening to his words, even Song Mingting couldn't help frowning: This situation is indeed a bit weird.
"Not only that, at first the casual cultivators who were just going out disappeared for no reason, but later, even the casual cultivators in the city began to disappear, and in recent days, even our people have begun to disappear. ā
"How many of you are missing?" Zhang Hualing interrupted.
"So far five people have gone missing. ā
"How did they all go missing? Did anyone see that?"
"Two of them disappeared when they went out to search for the missing Sanxiu, two of them disappeared in the town, and one person disappeared here, one moment the person was still there, and the next moment the person disappeared, I saw it with my own eyes!" Xu thought of the scene at that time, when Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang said this, the fear on his face could not be concealed.
"When did people disappear?" Zhang Hualing's face remained unchanged at all, and he continued to ask.
"This, this, all the time they went missing. ā
"But there should always be a more prominent time period, right? When is the most likely time to go missing?"
"Late ...... At night, this is more likely to happen at night. ā
"Bring the dossier, let's take a closer look. Zhang Hualing finally said.
Soon, someone brought up the file, and Pavilion Master Li and the others retreated, leaving the room to the six people of Song Mingting.
After a few people finished flipping through the file, Zhang Hualing said, "Do you have any ideas?"
Generally speaking, even if a person is destroyed and destroyed, there will always be some traces, such as ashes when burned, broken limbs and flesh will be left when bitten, and liquid will be left behind when corroded. But it is a bit unreasonable to have so many people missing and leaving no trace as they are now. ā
It was the mild-tempered Sun Jiamu who spoke. However, although Sun Jiamu called it weird, there was no fear on his face, not only him, but also others.
But this is nothing strange, because compared to Pavilion Master Li and others, although Sun Jiamu and the others are young, they have a much wider vision and knowledge, and this strange disappearance case can scare Pavilion Master Li and others, but it can't scare them.
"That's right, and there are even people who are missing and are one step away from reaching the Week Picking, so even if the Week Picking Monk makes a move, shouldn't such a person be silent?"
"Besides, the file also said that the people who disappeared in the town did not react to the ban in the town when they disappeared, and it is said that if there is a fight, the ban in the town should not be unresponsive, unless the missing person is restrained at the first time, and the one who can do this must be the master of the Monk of the Week or even the master of the Melting Moon Period. ā
This time it was Ji Changkong who spoke, and he followed Sun Jiamu's words closely, but in the end, he couldn't help but change his face.
The other people's faces couldn't help but change slightly when they heard this, if the murderer was really a master in the late stage of star picking, the peak of star picking, and even the moon melting stage, then let alone the people in the town, they were all dangerous.
After discussing it for a while, although they had a lot of ideas, they couldn't figure it out. At this time, Song Mingting suddenly spoke: "Senior Brother Hualing, what methods in the cultivation world can make people disappear completely, leaving not even a trace?"
