Chapter Seventy-Nine: Weirdness and Clues
"How is he?" asked Li Chengfeng after knocking the knife-wielding man away, returning to the black-clothed masked man.
Jiang Qiu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid my life is in danger, that sword qi just now was a desperate blow from that man, and it hurt his heart." ”
The masked man lay on the ground and said intermittently, "Quick...... Burn down...... Small...... Heart...... Cheng ......" died before he finished speaking.
Li Chengfeng saw that this person had lost his breath and asked, "What did he just say, burn these things, and then be careful?"
Lin Xia said: "It seems to say burning, and then the last word seems to be a city?"
"Yes, the last word should be city. Jiang Qiu also said affirmatively.
What is the meaning of this? The three of them were puzzled.
"Let's see what's in these boxes, the masked man wants us to burn them. Li Chengfeng looked at the corpse on the ground and walked to the dart cart and said.
After the three of them opened the box on the car, the contents turned out to be some strange things, some were some small bronze figures, and some were some inconspicuous small objects.
"What is this?" Jiang Qiu said with a frown as he looked at the contents of the box.
"This ...... This seems to be a witchcraft sacrifice?" Li Chengfeng said uncertainly.
"Witchcraft sacrifices?" the two asked rhetorically, equally confused.
"If I'm not mistaken, these items should be from some hidden ancient sect in the 100,000 Great Mountains. This straw-tied villain, I seem to have seen it in the ancient books left by the master of the hidden sword secret realm. Li Chengfeng said uncertainly.
"Where is the 100,000 Great Mountain?" Lin Xia asked curiously.
"The 100,000 Mountains are rumored to be the southeast of Furong City, which is to the east of Furong City, and it seems that there are people in the city who have dealings with those ancient sects. So why did Yanyutang hijack these dart carts and let us burn them, and who were these dart carts transported to the city?" Li Chengfeng said to himself in confusion as he looked at the more and more things at the moment.
"Shouldn't these things all be used to control people with witchcraft?" Jiang Qiu asked after thinking for a while.
"It should be!" Li Chengfeng nodded and said.
The three of them felt that the contents of these wooden boxes of dart carts were too strange, and decided that it was appropriate to burn them, so they burned them all with a fire.
After leaving the Valley of the Wicked and returning to the Furong City Inn, he found that Murong Zihua, who was waiting for the three of them in the inn, had disappeared, and only found a note in Zihua's room, which said: If you want Zihua to live, don't pursue it further.
It turned out that Zihua was kidnapped, but the three of them couldn't guess who was coming. This Hibiscus City is a pool of heavy water and fog.
The three of them sat in the inn again, analyzing and reasoning their thoughts.
First of all, why did Yanyutang ambush the sword-wielding dart team. Second, who was in Furong City with the things protected by the sword-wielding man? Third, what was the use of the people in the city with the witchcraft of the ancient sect of the 100,000 Great Mountains? Fourth, what did the masked man mean before he died? Fifth, who was Zihua robbed? Sixth, how are Xiao Jintong and Fang Chengyu now?
The trio decided to start with the first question.
On the surface, it seems that Yanyutang must have a grudge against this team, so they ambushed them, because only such an explanation is reasonable. But after following up on the items transported by the dart team, I found that things are not so simple. For all that is carried in it is the stuff of sorcery.
"Who does Yanyutang have a grudge with? Lin Xia said as he sat down at the table with his chin and shook his head.
"Xia Xia, what did you just say?" Jiang Qiu suddenly moved and grabbed Lin Xia's hand and asked.
"I said, who does the Smoke and Rain Hall have a grudge with? Lin Xia looked at Jiang Qiu and said casually.
"yes, this is it. Whoever has a grudge against Yanyutang, then this dart car belongs to whom. And judging from the things transported, this person must not have come easily. Jiang Qiu analyzed.
Suddenly, the three of them looked at each other at the same time with a tremor of their bodies, then made a boo gesture, put their heads together and whispered, "City Lord!"
That's right, it's the city lord Sword Twelve, because it was also because of the sword twelve, the three of them began to investigate the Yanyu Hall, if you want to talk about the biggest enemy of the Yanyu Hall in Furong City, it must be the city lord Sword Twelve, combined with the last city word before the masked man died, in fact, he wanted to tell them to be careful of the city lord.
But after figuring out the first question, then the second question is also clear, and then the third question is, what is the use of these things in the city lord? As a city lord who is in charge of the life and death of all the people in Furong City, why do you need to transport some witchcraft things from the 100,000 mountains? What is the use of these burned things?
Fifth, who was Zihua robbed? It stands to reason that Zihua was in the inn, and the robbery should have left some clues, but at this time, there were no clues, but her kidnappers left a sentence for everyone not to pursue it. Could it be the lord of the city?
According to the speculation of the three people, all the clues at present point to the city lord. But there is no direct evidence to prove that this matter was done by the City Lord's Mansion.
Just when the three of them fell into deep thought, Wuguang came to the inn again, looked at the three of them and said, "Where is Miss Murong?"
Jiang Qiu said: "We went out in the evening, and when we came back, there was only this one left. After speaking, he handed the note to Wuguang.
After reading it, Wuguang's face changed drastically and he quickly ran out of the inn.
The three of them froze in place, not knowing why Wuguang reacted so much.
......
"Sixty-five brothers in all, none of them survived, and all the goods in the dart cart were burned. Hundreds of masked bodies were found on the ground. One of the spies whispered back with his head down.
There was a bang, a few bangs, and there were shards of porcelain shattered on the ground. Then a cold voice came: "Check, send everyone to check for me." Don't let go of even the slightest clue. Traitors, these traitors!cough!"It seems to have caused the qi and blood to be reversed, causing the speaker to cough heavily.
"Yes, my subordinates are leaving!" the spy flinched.
"I think we should take a trip to the Valley of the Wicked!" Li Chengfeng said.
"Yes, the town of the Wicked Valley may have the clue we want. Come to think of it, the people we thought were ghosts and fires at the time came out of the Valley of the Wicked. That place should have what we wanted. Jiang Qiu's eyes lit up and said in agreement.
So, the three of them took advantage of the night to bypass the City Lord's Mansion and cautiously sneak to the town of the Valley of the Wicked, but when they first arrived in the Valley of the Wicked, they found that the dart cart and the corpses on the ground that were burned by the three of them had all disappeared without a trace, as if there had been no battle here at all. The more it is so weird, the more strange it becomes, the more it seems that this matter is not trivial, and there must be a force behind it besides Yanyu Hall operating.
