Li Bing followed the voice and left the inn. The black clouds covered the moon, the air was cold and the wind was fierce, and he was the only one on the wide street.

The voice seemed to come straight out of my head, and I couldn't tell the direction at all.

He took a few steps to the north, and felt that the fluctuations of the internal force were weakening, so he turned around and walked south, and sure enough, the fluctuations of the internal force gradually increased. Each time the direction was decided, the voice became stronger. In this way, I went back and forth in the city, and finally found the source of the strange sound wave.

"I thought it was the Niangniang Temple, but I didn't expect it to be here?" Li Bing raised his head and looked at the plaque in front of him with "Lufu" written in gold.

This is the mansion of the deer lord during the day, and it is also the old residence of the deer family for generations. When he arrived at someone else's territory, Li Bing didn't want to cause more trouble, but he felt really strange, and the irrepressible curiosity in his heart drove Li Bing to find a low wall and turn over to the upper room.

Although this mansion gate is magnificent, this mansion is not big, there are two courtyards in total, squatting on the middle beam of the house to see at a glance.

The night of Wuwei is cold, but it is quiet, there is no wind, there is no bird call, this strange sound of rustling is very clear in the night, attracting his own internal force to move with the sound. He stood on the ridge of the roof and moved his ears slightly, listening to the sound as if it were coming from underground. But in a blink of an eye, it seems to come from the sky, and it is difficult to distinguish its trace.

"Don't move. ”

Suddenly, a low voice came from behind him, and a cold dagger had been pressed against Li Bing's throat. He was so focused that he didn't even notice who was behind him. Rao is like this, he can get so close to himself, and this person's martial arts are estimated to be above him.

This voice sounded very familiar, it was Lord Deer who met in the restaurant during the day.

Li Bing was in a hurry to go out, and he didn't even bring a sword. This was held hostage, and for a while he didn't even have the means to resist, so he had to open his hands and whisper: "Don't be nervous, I have no malice." Li Bing tried, turned his head slightly, and the dagger in Lord Lu's hand was a little harder: "Don't move!"

"What is Your Excellency, what are you doing in my house so late? The voice did not rise or fall, and it remained on the same vocal line, which was cold and chilling.

Li Bingdao: "We met in the restaurant during the day. I sat at the opposite table on the second floor. Breaking into your mansion at night is completely curious, not malicious. There was a strange noise that made me sleep very uncomfortable, so I got up and took a look. Just curious, no malice. ”

Lord Lu hesitated slightly: "...... voice?" Lord Lu started talking, and suddenly his voice changed, and he used the dagger against Li Bing's throat harder: "What kind of voice is that, you come and listen to it." ”

Could it be that he could hear him too?

Li Bing was puzzled, and then replied: "It's a bit like a hole flute, it's a bit like a fox, it's a bit like a Xun, but it's not, sometimes it feels like it's close to the ear, and sometimes it seems to come from the sky." It's a very peculiar sound. ”

Lord Deer seemed to let his guard down: "What about the guy who was with you during the day? Is he nearby? Let him out!"

"No, no, no, he's not here, he's still staying at the inn to rest. I just wanted to come and see it, so I didn't even bring a weapon. Li Bing still raised his hands and kept glancing behind him: "I really have no malice." ”

Lord Lu let down his guard about thirty percent, and asked two other questions, making Li Bing's purpose clear. Anyway, Li Bing really has no malicious intentions, and these questions are irrelevant, so he answered them 1510.

"Bang!"

Lord Deer continued to ask. Suddenly, in the courtyard in front of the two of them, there was a loud noise at the bottom of the well.

The movement was not small, Li Bing and Lord Lu were both looking for prestige, Li Bing's body just moved, and Lord Lu's dagger moved forward again: "Don't move." ”

He thought for a moment and said, "If you break into my mansion this time, I won't pursue it." If there is a next time, it will not be spared. Remember, it's none of your business here. Don't come back either. ”

Lord Lu let Li Bing go, Li Bing glanced at the well again, then looked at Lord Lu, turned over and went out of the room, and disappeared into the night.

The long night was long, Li Bing walked on the street alone, and as he got farther and farther away from Lufu, the voice became weaker and weaker, and its traction on the internal force in his body became weaker. Li Bing gently closed the door and finally returned to the inn.

Anzi was still asleep peacefully. Li Bing tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. On the one hand, after the sound just now, my whole body was refreshed and did not feel sleepy. On the other hand, he was thinking about today's events:

What is that sound? Why does the source of this sound seem to be in the well of Lord Deer's house? What is that loud noise?

Li Bing was just in bed and thought about it all night. By the time I woke up again, it was almost noon.

The shopkeeper shouted: "Official, official, are you still there? It's almost noon." If the housekeeper still stays tonight, it will be an extra day's money. ”

Li Bing responded, "It's okay, it's all recorded in the account first." ”

By the time he got himself in order and went downstairs, Anko had already ordered breakfast downstairs and was waiting. After a meal of porridge and side dishes, Anzi asked Li Bing's plan to go back to Fu.

Li Bing was a little hesitant: Originally, he was going to go all the way to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to find Yinglan'er, but he was a little curious about this voice, should he stay for a day or two? After all, this matter really doesn't have much to do with me.

"Let's go after dinner. Before dark, you can get out of Wuwei and settle down in the next place. It's not good to rush these days, so if you leave a day earlier, you'll arrive back a little earlier. ”

The two were immersed in drinking porridge when a familiar woman's voice came in again.

Stomp, trample, trample, trample.

The shopkeeper skillfully ran down the stairs: "Ouch. Master Yun, are you coming to eat again today? The second floor is still empty, I'll let Xiao Er prepare what to eat. ”

Lord Yun glanced at the people in the hall and said, "No need, I'm just here to ask, has Lord Lu come to you today?"

Li Bing's afterglow also noticed the strange expression of Lord Yun, but he was still silent, just buried his head in the porridge.

"Since you haven't been here yet, then it's okay, if you see Lord Lu, send him a message, saying that I have something urgent to find him, and let him go to Yunfu. ”

"The small ones must be brought, they must be brought!" The shopkeeper made a gesture and sent away Lord Yun. The smile on her face disappeared in an instant after she left.

Li Bing watched Master Yun leave, and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Anzi, let's not leave first." Something may have happened to Lord Deer. ”

Anzi wanted to ask the reason, and Li Bing gave him a look. After the two hurriedly finished eating, Li Bing pulled Anzi out of the inn and told him in detail what happened last night. He added, "If you follow what Lord Yun said, the disappearance of that Lord Deer is likely to be related to what happened last night. There might be something strange in that well. ”

The two of them shook in front of Lufu, and watched the people inside in the courtyard through the door of the mansion, so they couldn't break through the empty door in broad daylight, so they simply walked around Wuwei County again, passed the time, and waited for dark. However, it is not completely without new discoveries, Li Bingzai tried to listen to the voice, and sure enough, it could actually be heard during the day. However, there are many people during the day, and the small sound is easily muffled.

Wuwei County is not very big, and after going around the city, I unconsciously came to this crowded place again, which is in front of the Niangniang Temple.

Three or five white-robed disciples diligently wrote down the merit and sesame oil money of the pilgrims in the merit book. On the right, there are a few people selling fairy water that cures all diseases.

In front of this, the door is like a market, but I don't know that Di Niangniang herself is greeting a great man at the back door.

A disciple opened the backyard door, and two people came in one after the other, both dressed in brown robes. The leader, a slightly taller man, took off his hat and revealed his true face—in his forties, with dark brown hair tied in a short bun, a high nose, deep, narrow eye sockets, angular cheekbones, and a grim complexion.

The man behind him looked no more than thirty years old, small and thin, as if he didn't have any fat in his body. This man has a roe deer, a large mole with long hair on the left side of his upper lip, and he has been smiling since he came in, occasionally showing that row of very uneven teeth, which makes people look disgusting. However, this man's arms were extremely long, and when his hands were lowered, they were already above his knees. A pair of fingers are also extremely long, white and thin.

Di Niangniang was dressed in plain gauze clothes, and even more than a dozen cronies and disciples behind her had been waiting for a long time.

"My subordinates have seen the Leopard Venerable......"

As soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by this cold man.

"Take me to see it first!" the man's voice was deep and majestic.

Di Niangniang led the way in front, and the group entered a side room. This room was very strange, there were no tables, chairs and benches, and in the middle of the floor, there was a large hole dug. There is a wooden ladder at the entrance of the cave for people to go up and down. On the left side of the ground are scattered with pickaxes and shovels, and there are piles of excavated clay on the side.

There was originally a person in the room, looking at the clothes, who was the head of the Zhang family who donated this temple to Niangniang. But now his face is a little different, he is not in his forties, he looks like a baby face in his early twenties.

When the head of the Zhang family saw the cold man coming in, he hurriedly moved out of the way, stepped back slightly, bowed down and said, "I've seen the Leopard Venerable." This voice is also slightly different from the voice he spoke during the previous temple inauguration ceremony.

The Leopard Venerable took a look inside the cave, but he didn't mean to go down, and said lightly: "How is it?"

Di Niangniang stepped forward slightly: "I have been digging underground for more than a month, and the day before yesterday I finally found a passage that is very old, it seems that the news is true, this altar of Hugh slaughtering people is under Wuwei City." ”

"I know all of this, I mean how did you find that thing!" Venerable Leopard touched the tip of his nose, his gaze became sharper, and he glanced at the Lady of the Rites.

was glanced at by this eye, and the goddess sent out a chill from the bottom of her heart.

"I haven't found it yet. This Hugh slaughterer's tunnel is not the same as imagined, there are many forks in it, and many of them have traps. Many tunnels are not ventilated to the outside world all year round, so you can't enter at all, and you need to wait for a few days. The exact location of the altar has not been found for a while, so please forgive Venerable Leopard. Di Xi Niangniang paused slightly, and immediately raised her voice and continued: "However, my subordinates have already sent a lot of manpower, and I believe there will be good news soon." ”

"Hmm!" Venerable Leopard swept his eyes over the disciples behind Di Niangniang, "It is important to send additional manpower, but the examination of disciples must be strict, and there should be no rumors of one or two spies leaking out halfway." Don't rush it. ”

"The subordinates understand. ”

Venerable Leopard's eyes softened slightly, and he said softly: "This matter is very important, and I will hand over the 'Rat Venerable' to you to assist you." Everything is still yours, and if you need help with anything, just tell him to do it. ”

Di Niangniang was slightly displeased, but still said: "The subordinates obey the order." She glanced at the Rat Venerable's ugly face that had not stopped since she entered the door, and felt even more hatred in her heart.

"Alright. I've seen it here, and along the way, I see that your temple is very popular here. You have done a very good job in this matter, 'Snake Venerable'. The Lord is also very pleased with you. Just wait for you to find the 'Altar of Slaughter' this time, and the Lord will have a reward. He looked at the bottomless hole again and said, "I've seen the things here too." It's time for me to go. ”

The Lady was surprised: "Venerable Leopard is leaving, I have already arranged the wine and food ......." ”

"No need, I have other important things to do, I want to go to Ganzhou. I'm relieved to leave this matter to you. Venerable Leopard put the hat on his head, turned around and went out: "Remember, if you have any difficulty, you can ask Venerable Rat to help." If you need more help, just send someone to inform me!"

"My subordinates understand!"

As soon as the Lady of the Confession responded, the Leopard Venerable had long since disappeared. Only the Rat Venerable was left standing aside and giggling.
