The weather is nice today, the wind is mild, and the sky is cloudless.

Gotta get it!

The sound of horses' hooves sounded sharply, and a team of people and horses came to the foot of Mangniu Mountain, and drove the horses directly up the mountain without stopping.

The leader of the horse team was none other than Zhao Sanye, dressed in a strong suit with a solemn face, and next to him was Zhan Yangchun, wearing a gossip robe, holding no flag in his hand, and carrying a peachwood sword, with an ancient appearance.

"Huh, what is this?"

When he arrived in the mountains, Zhao Sanye looked up and couldn't help but be stunned.

Above the clearing, the mountain temple actually collapsed and collapsed, becoming a pile of ruins.

Zhao Sanye was surprised: "It was fine yesterday, why did it collapse?"

Zhan Yanchun turned over and dismounted, approached to look, went around in a big circle, stopped for a while, took out a compass, and made a comparison, and then shook his nose and sniffed something.

When he finished, Zhao Sanye asked in a deep voice: "Daoist Zhan, have you seen any clues?"

Zhan Yangchun had a strange look on his face, and hesitated for a while before saying, "There is no evil here. ”

Zhao Sanye said "ah": "How could it be? I really can't find any signs of manifies in what happened yesterday." ”

Zhan Yangchun said: "Maybe the other party has already left." ”

"So the mountain temple collapsed and destroyed the corpses?"

"If there is really an evil cult and it is connected with the mountain temple and there is an inseparable relationship, it stands to reason that only when the evil cult is destroyed will the temple collapse. ”

Zhan Yangchun explained.

Zhao Sanye was a little confused: "You mean that it was destroyed by someone?

Zhan Yangchun shook his head: "I don't know about this." ”

As he spoke, he walked around the clearing and surveyed it carefully.

Where the three horses had fallen, the bodies of the horses had disappeared, and there was not even a trace on the ground, as if nothing had happened. Such an appearance reminded Zhao Sanye of what happened to the team of dart cart personnel, which also disappeared out of thin air, but there were still three intact dart carts left.

Arriving at the back of the mountain temple, Zhan Yangchun stood abruptly and looked at the jungle behind him in a daze.

"Did the Daoist make any discoveries?"

Zhao Sanye stepped forward and asked.

Zhan Yangchun nodded and said, "Third Master, you let people cut down these trees and take a look." ”

Zhao Sanye gave an order, and immediately several entourages of the dart bureau came over with knives and axes and slashed down those dense bushes.

"Ahh

It wasn't long before someone screamed.

It turned out that there was a big pit behind this, but it was usually covered by the woods, and it was impossible to see it at all, but now after the trees were cut down, it was unobstructed, and the bones of the heads and bones in the pit were scattered there, and they were thrown there one by one, and people were frightened to see. In addition to the human body, there are also the bodies of three horses.

Zhao Sanye stepped forward to take a look, and quickly recognized it, it was the corpse of the missing Song Dart Master and others, although it was unrecognizable, but the clothes and other things were there, it was not difficult to identify, he didn't look over, he couldn't bear to look at it, and his fists couldn't help but clench.

Zhan Yangchun observed and sighed: "There is no flesh and blood, it is because it does not smell, and it is really an evil act." ”

After a pause, he said: "This bureaucrat should have just become a climate, and he needs a lot of blood and qi replenishment, so Song Dart Master and his party were brutally poisoned. ”

Zhao Sanye asked, "What about the believers who usually come to offer incense?"

Zhan Yangchun said: "Ordinary people, waiting for the lack of blood and qi, it is not surprising that this evil is not looked down upon. ”

Zhao Sanye thought about it and was immediately relieved.

Most of the believers who come to worship are either women or the elderly, and most of them are old and frail, and their blood is thin. And the people of the Shunfu Dart Bureau, whether they are dart masters or executioners, even if their martial arts are sloppy, they are people who practice martial arts after all, and the qi and blood in their bodies naturally far exceed those of women and children.

Zhao Sanye asked: "Dao Chief, in your opinion, how did this evil come to be?"

Zhan Yangchun shook his head: "For this, this way is not very clear. The causes of evil things are complex, and the phenomena are obscure and strange...... Hey, anyway, there have been a lot of incidents recently, and it's not a good thing after all. Third master, you have to tell your subordinates to come out and dart, and be more careful. The evil cult of Mangniuling has just taken shape, and it has not yet become a climate, and it has not killed many people, if you encounter some old monsters, it will be serious, and you may not be able to escape the poison yesterday. ”

Speaking of this, he said: "Those two talents, Ben Dao wants to meet them. ”

Zhao Sanye said: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

He asked again, "Dao Chief, what should we do with these corpses?"

Zhan Yangchun said: "It's best to pile up firewood, and burn it." By the way, there are also things from the mountain temple, which are also picked up here and burned together. ”

Zhao Sanye had no disagreement about this, and immediately ordered people to act, collect firewood, and search the ruins, about half an hour, all of them were done, and they began to ignite and burn.

Looking at this fire, Zhao Sanye felt heavy, the personnel of the dart bureau were damaged, and a large amount of pension was inevitable. More importantly, after the news spread, the whole dart board was frightened, people were panicked, and business was affected.

He told several of his subordinates to stay here and wait until the fire was over before leaving, while he and Zhan Yangchun rode down the mountain with Zhan Yangchun to Chenjia Village to find Chen Tang.

Zhan Yangchun listened to Zhao Sanye tell what happened yesterday, saying that the evil man had attacked Chen Tang, but suddenly chose to retreat, which made Zhan Yangchun curious, so he wanted to come and see him.

With Zhao Sanye's connections, it is not difficult to find Chen Tang.

It was nearly in the afternoon that the two of them went to Chenjia Village, asked for directions, and soon came to the door of Chen Tang's house.

Su Ling was washing rice outside the house to cook, and when she saw someone riding a horse, she was taken aback, and hurriedly called Chen Tang.

At this time, Chen Tang was studying the leather paper without a portrait in the room, he thought so, since this thing was matched with the Heavenly Sword Box, maybe in addition to the portrait, there might be other mysteries hidden in it.

It's a pity that I tossed for half an hour, and I didn't find anything, so I almost burned it with fire.

Perhaps, this object is used to depict portraits, and the portraits are absorbed from energy, turned into invisible, and left with a piece of vellum, which has no effect.

Hearing Su Ling's call, he walked out with the parchment paper and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Chen Xiucai, it's me. ”

Zhao Sanye got off the horse and greeted him with a smile.

"It turned out to be the third master. ”

Chen Tang made a salute.

In the morning, he went into the city to look for someone, but he didn't find it, but he didn't expect that now Zhao Sanye came to the door. Don't think about it, it must have something to do with yesterday's evil. Looking at Zhao Sanye's appearance, he shouldn't have encountered anything weird last night, so if there is something wrong, only Chen Tang has to be the one.

Could it be that the monster favors him?

In Chen Tang's heart, he was quite puzzled.

"Third Master, Daoist Zhan, please come into the house and sit. ”

Chen Tang greeted.

Zhan Yangchun also recognized him, and was about to take a step, when his eyes suddenly fell on the leather paper in Chen Tang's hand, his eyes froze, and his expression suddenly became excited: "Chen Xiucai, can you show me the leather paper you are holding?"
