The two talked for a long time at the village chief's house, and it was not until sunset that they walked out of the village chief's house, and after Wanyan refused the village chief's invitation to have dinner together, Hu Yan and Wuqiu left the village together.

They have already gotten all the useful things from the village chief's mouth, and there is no need to waste time here in the meantime. For they knew that the more they delayed a quarter of an hour, the more the murderer would get away with it, and the more dangerous the other children would be. They must find the murderer of this murderous method as soon as possible.

Coming out of the village, the two ran all the way back to the ruined temple.

It was getting late, Zhuang Bai was already waiting a little impatiently, and he was wandering outside the ruined temple at the moment, anxious.

Suddenly looking up and catching a glimpse of Hu Yan and Wu Qiu coming back, a smile finally appeared on his heavy face.

"You're back, how are you going?" Zhuang Bai asked eagerly.

Wu Qiu grinned and said: "Hu Yan and I went out in person, what can stump us, the matter has been discovered, the child's grave is on the hill north of the village entrance." ”

Hu Yan also said: "The beginning and end of the matter is similar to what you heard, but I can also be sure that this murderer was premeditated, and he picked on the children born during the lunar calendar." ”

Zhuang Bai was slightly stunned, rubbed his hands a little excitedly, and said, "This is a useful piece of information." Are there children born during the lunar calendar?"

Hu Yan nodded and said, "According to the village chief, the child was exactly thirteen years and thirteen days old when he was killed, and he was born at the time of Hai. After making an examination, he said that the child was killed at the same time. ”

Hearing Hu Yan say this, Zhuang Bai's brows couldn't help frowning slightly: "Born in the lunar year and the lunar month, and killed in the lunar year." This is no longer a simple refining of ghosts or soul cultivation techniques. ”

Hu Yan groaned: "Moreover, the child's mud pill palace and the spring point on the soles of his feet were also pierced with silver needles, and he should have endured great pain and fear before he died, and finally died after being drained of the blood around his body. ”

Zhuang Bai nodded and said, "I already know this." It seems that he still wants to know more things, so he can only go to open the coffin for an autopsy. ”

Hu Yan was still a little hesitant before, after all, this open coffin autopsy would definitely disturb the rest of the deceased, which was a big disrespectful act, but the deeper he came into contact with this murder case, the more he wanted to find out the truth of the matter. What's more, Zhuang Bai also said that this child's soul has been extracted, so naturally there is no way to disturb the rest of the soul.

"Brother Zhuang, before opening the coffin, why don't we eat something first, I haven't eaten all day, and I'm hungry. Hu Yan said with a smile, Hu Yan didn't feel hungry before because he had something on his mind, and he even refused the village chief's invitation to dinner, but now he feels hungry.

Zhuang Bai smiled and said, "Ziling and Ning'er have been cooking food for a long time and are waiting for you." Let's go, let's go back to the broken temple first. ”

Hearing that there was finally something to eat, the extremely hungry Wuqiu suddenly cheered, and rushed into the broken temple like a gust of wind.

Hu Yan also ran in after him, and as soon as he stepped into the ruined temple, Hu Yan smelled a tempting fragrance.

But I saw that the offering table dedicated to the god of the land was full of food, including roasted sweet potatoes, fresh wild fruits, roasted golden steamed buns, and even a roasted roast chicken with a shiny oil tile.

Seeing this, Hu Yan couldn't help but have a great appetite, hurriedly ran forward, looked at Ziling and Jin Ning'er who were busy, and said, "You did all this?"

When Ziling saw Hu Yan coming back, she was overjoyed, hurriedly put down the work in her hand, ran to Hu Yan and said, "Little brother, you're back." ”

Hu Yan patted Ziling's little head and nodded with a smile.

"Stinky boy, you're hungry, come on, Ziling and I have made you a lot of delicious food. Jin Ning'er was also happy, beckoned Hu Yan and Wuqiu to sit down, and then pulled a chicken leg and handed it to Hu Yan and said, "Come and try my craft." ”

Hu Yan was not polite, took the chicken leg handed over by Jin Ning'er and gnawed it. A chicken leg was gnawed by nonsense in three or two strokes, and only the bones remained, and while gnawing, he muttered vaguely in his mouth: "It's so fragrant, why didn't you see it before, you still have this hand, fierce girl." ”

Jin Ning'er glanced at nonsense, tilted her neck and said, "Miss Ben has a lot of means, it's normal for you to not see it." ”

Hu Yan smiled slightly and didn't refute, and picked up a roasted sweet potato and ate it.

This meal was extremely comfortable, and after eating and drinking, Hu Yan was shy with a big belly, pinched a dog hair grass and scratched his teeth: "Brother Zhuang, when are we leaving?"

Zhuang Bai glanced up at the already starry sky, and said in a deep voice, "Wait until the time comes." ”

Hu Yan nodded, glanced back at Wuqiu and said, "It's still early, I'll squint for a while, and wake me up when I set off." ”

Wuqiu pouted and said, "You really know how to be an uncle." ”

Hu Yan grinned, didn't say much, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to close his eyes and breathe.

Last night, Hu Yan was disturbed by the little green snake and didn't sleep much, although not sleeping all night is nothing to a cultivator, but Hu Yan still wanted to squint for a while, saying that it was squinting, but in fact he was breathing and practicing qi, and after a few hours of real power in his body, Hu Yan suddenly felt that his energy doubled, and even the only trace of fatigue was gone.

stayed until the child, and Hu Yan was woken up by the excitement and inexplicable demand: "Hu Yan, hurry up and clean up, we're going to get down to business!"

Hu Yan nodded, turned over and stood up from the ground, looked left and right, and said, "What tools will we use to dig graves in a while? hoe or shovel?"

Wu Qiu sneered and said, "As a cultivator, do you still use these things to dig a grave?"

Hu Yan scratched his head and said, "Don't use these, what do you dig with, do you use your hands?"

Wu Qiu glanced at nonsense, hated iron and steel: "Stupid, is your skill used as a decoration, forget it, it's useless to talk to you so much, you can show me in a while!"

Hu Yan was slightly stunned, not knowing how to refute it. So he smiled and didn't say much.

"Brother Hu, without further ado, let's go!" Zhuang Bai saw that it was not early and urged.

Hu Yan nodded, pulled Ziling out of the broken temple.

In order to hide their eyes and avoid unnecessary trouble, they did not plan to cross the village to the grave where the murdered boy was buried, but chose to go up the hill around the village.

By the time they reached the hill north of the village, it was already half an hour later.

The crowd searched the hill for a long time before finding a new grave where the boy was buried, and the place where the child was buried was obviously selected as a feng shui treasure after the guidance of a master.

Zhuang Bai practiced Maoshan Fu Gong, but he also had a lot of research on feng shui, so he naturally knew that this was an excellent feng shui treasure, thinking that it was to suppress the boy's resentment. However, Zhuang Bai knew that as long as he was a person who had fallen into the soul separation technique, his soul would be withdrawn, and there would be no resentment.

Zhuang Bai walked to the grave, pinched the knot, and muttered for a while after muttering the sacrificial text that Hu Yan didn't understand, his right hand flipped over, and a stack of yellow rune paper appeared in his hand.

Hu Yan glanced at Wuqiu, pouted, and motioned for Wuqiu to dig a grave.

Wu Qiu glanced at Hu Yan, stepped forward, pinched a law knot in his hand and said, "Hu Yan, you show me how to dig a grave." As he spoke, the knot in his hand changed, and suddenly his whole body was full of real power, and a dazzling golden light burst out from him.

"Xuanyang Boy Gong ......"

Hu Yan knew that it was the exercises he learned from the Wuxiu Pavilion that he had learned, Xuanyang Tongzi Gong. But seeing that the golden light in the Wuqiu is like a fairy child descending to earth, his bearing is extraordinary, he pinched the knot in his hand, and slapped it to the ground, and suddenly the golden light around his body roared, and the ground suddenly trembled violently, and the soil surged up like a tide, and suddenly the entire grave was lifted.

"Yo, it's only been a long time since I've seen you, and Wuqiu's skill has improved so much, but it seems that your trick is useless, and you haven't dug up the grave at all. Jin Ning'er didn't know whether she was praising Wuqiu or making fun of Wuqiu. She looked at the grave that had been razed by the true power of Wuqiu, and said with a smile.

Wuqiu looked up at the grave in front of him, although the tomb was razed, but the coffin was not completely dug out, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

Zhuang Bai smiled and patted Wuqiu's shoulder and said, "With your current skills, it's not bad to be able to do this." Alright, I'll take care of the rest!"

nodded helplessly, took the exercises, walked aside, and glared at Jin Ning'er with some anger.

Jin Ning'er didn't pay attention to it at all, raised her head and said to Zhuang Bai: "Senior brother, why don't you let the stinky boy try it, and let us see if he has grown these days." As he spoke, he glanced at the nonsense standing aside.

Hearing Jin Ning'er say this, Zhuang Bai cast an inquiring glance at Hu Yan and said, "Brother Hu, what do you think?"

Hu Yan didn't expect Jin Ning'er to treat this grave digging matter as a trick to play, and he couldn't help but feel displeased, but he didn't say anything, just walked to the grave with a calm face, and gave a salute respectfully, as the saying goes, the dead are great, even if the child's soul has long been withdrawn, but he still has a trace of awe, and the etiquette that should be there is not left behind at all.

"I'll try it!" Hu Yan's face sank, and he calmed down, lifting up all the true power around him.

"Dragon Mill ......"

But I saw Hu Yan standing proudly like a pine and cypress on the top of the mountain, his arms naturally drooping, looking at the present, seeing as if he was not seeing, calming down, the body and mind were one, the spirit and spirit were one, and he entered a state of selflessness. As soon as he spit out and inhale, a golden true power rose from the spring points of his feet, and suddenly a golden light burst out all around his body.

"Heh......"

Suddenly, Hu Yan's hands shook, his palms pushed forward violently, and a violent golden qi roared out from his palms. It was like two entangled golden dragons flying out.

Rumble!!!

With a loud bang, the golden light suddenly overflowed, the earth flew, and the powerful force instantly opened the grave in front of him, revealing a heavy coffin buried deep in the soil......
