With the end of the celebration of the centennial of the birth of Master Kong, all the guests who participated in the celebration began to leave one after another. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Some returned to their respective sects, but others prepared to go to southern Xinjiang.

Since the completion of the official road across the Yunwu Mountains, more and more people have gone to the rich land of southern Xinjiang to pan for gold.

Of course, as the base camp of the evil sect, southern Xinjiang is naturally full of dangers. People from the north go to southern Xinjiang, and it is very likely that they will never return and leave their lives there.

However, in the face of huge interests, many people are still like moths to a fire, running forward and running to southern Xinjiang one after another.

Especially many people in the rivers and lakes have been living a life of licking blood from the knife edge. Under the temptation of huge interests, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, I am afraid that I will still jump off without hesitation.

When many martial arts people left, the county seat of Shanyin seemed to be a lot deserted.

Cangqiaofang, in the west of the county, is a famous dignitary residential area in San'in County.

Those who live here are either high-ranking officials and nobles, or powerful and wealthy merchants, with embroidered households and high-walled compounds.

The houses here are all built along the river, looking from afar, small bridges and flowing water, white walls and tiles, there is a unique scenery.

Tang Mansion is the most prestigious mansion in this residential area, because the owner of Tang Mansion is called Tang Wenhan.

Tang Wenhan is a member of the second rank of the imperial court, and the official is Doctor Zuo Guanglu, with a high position.

After returning to his hometown three years ago, he returned to Shanyin County, Yuezhou for retirement.

In the past few days, two little guests have come to the Tang Mansion.

One of them is also a distant relative of the Tang family.

These two little guests are Tang Ziyan and Xu Yiqing.

It turned out that after the centennial celebration of Master Kong's birth, Ji Xiuru and the four did not return directly to the Emei faction.

Ji Xiuru and Su Miaoyun had another sect task, and they had to go to the seaside in the east.

For safety reasons, Su Miaoyun asked Tang Ziyan and Xu Yiqing to stay in Shanyin County temporarily, and after the Zongmen mission was completed, they would return to Emei together.

Although his master and uncle did not say it explicitly, Tang Ziyan and Xu Yiqing had both vaguely guessed that their master and uncle were likely to deal with a traitor from the Emei faction.

In this way, Tang Ziyan and Xu Yiqing temporarily stayed in Shanyin County.

It just so happened that Tang Ziyan remembered again that he seemed to have a distant relative living here.

So, she led her senior sister to visit the Tang Mansion together.

The Tang family is a big family, but the Tang family is not like some families, all of them live in one place.

Hundreds of years ago, the Tang family began to live in various states and counties.

The people of the clan are engaged in all walks of life, some are officials, some are businessmen, some are farmers, some are practicing martial arts, and some are even depraved and evil.

Of course, hundreds of years have also allowed most of the people of the Tang family to set up their own doors and go their own way.

There are still contacts with each other, but only a small part.

For example, Tang Ziyan's vein and Tang Wenhan's vein, although the two families live far apart, the two families still keep in touch from time to time.

Therefore, when Tang Ziyan remembered that there were relatives living here in Shanyin County, he immediately came to visit openly.

According to the seniority of the clan, Tang Wenhan is Tang Ziyan's grandfather.

When she led her senior sister to visit, Tang Wenhan received them very politely.

Tang Wenhan inquired about the health of Tang Ziyan's grandfather and others, and then chatted about family life, and finally learned that Tang Ziyan and Xu Yiqing would stay in Shanyin County for a while, so he let the two live in Tang Mansion.

Tang Wenhan has a granddaughter named Tang Yan'er, who is about the same age as Tang Ziyan.

When Tang Ziyan and Xu Yiqing settled in the Tang Mansion, the three girls quickly played together.

On this day, Tang Yan'er accompanied Tang Ziyan and Xu Yiqing and was wandering around their own garden.

The three of them laughed and laughed, Yingying Yanyan, obviously within a few days, the three of them were already very familiar.

Just when the three of them had just walked through a bush, Xu Yiqing's face suddenly changed slightly, and she scolded the bushes in a coquettish voice: "Who's there, get out of here!"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and blocked in front of Tang Ziyan and Tang Yan'er.

"Senior sister, who did you say?" Tang Ziyan said with a surprised face, took Tang Yan'er's hand, and became vigilant.

"Yes, be careful, there's definitely someone there. Xu Yiqing nodded affirmatively and said, "Hmph, don't you get out yet?" Okay, then I'll force you out!"

Xu Yiqing stretched out her toes and kicked a small gravel on the ground.

"Huh~~"

The stone suddenly flew up like a hidden weapon, and with a fierce force on the surface, it crashed into the bushes at once, and the bushes were immediately knocked down in large pieces.

Tang Yan'er glanced at Xu Yiqing in surprise, although she already knew in the past few days that Tang Ziyan and Xu Yiqing had both practiced martial arts. But she didn't expect that the other party's martial arts were so powerful, and the power of kicking flying gravel was even stronger than an arrow.

"Sure enough, there are people. Xu Yiqing said, but then, her pupils suddenly shrank, "It's a dead person!"

"Ahh

She could see clearly in the bushes at this time, where a body was lying, a shriveled body, looking hideous and terrifying.

Tang Ziyan's face was also slightly pale, and the main body looked too disgusting.

A dead man appeared in the garden, which naturally quickly alarmed the Tang Mansion.

Tang Wenhan quickly came over to preside over the situation, asked people to take care of the scene, and then sent people to inform the yamen.

There was a dead person in the Tang Mansion, which was a big deal for the Wu County Commander of Shanyin County, and he personally came to the Tang Mansion with the catcher.

"Lord Tang, when such a thing happens, it is a dereliction of duty and failure to maintain local law and order. Wu Xian Ling bowed slightly and said.

Tang Wenhan waved his hand and said, "Wu County Order, don't take responsibility for it first, let's hurry up and let the arrest and work together to investigate the scene." ”

"Yes, sir. Wu Xian Ling nodded, and then immediately issued an order to Catch Kuai and Qi Zuo.

The body was still lying in the bushes, and no one had turned it over.

He walked over to the corpse and began to examine it carefully.

And the catchers also began to learn about the situation from Xu Yiqing and Tang Ziyan.

A quarter of an hour later, the servant over there seemed to be almost checked, his face was extremely solemn, and he said to himself: "It's strange that this person has no wounds all over his body. What's even more strange is that the blood in this person's whole body has disappeared, as if it has been sucked dry. ”

That's why he became like this, his whole body was shriveled up, like a dried corpse, and in fact, he died no more than ten hours. ”

"Oh my God, how can there be such a thing in this world, old man, I have been doing it for decades, and I have never seen such a thing, it's so weird! I was sucked dry of my blood, this is unbelievable!"

Although he was talking to himself, everyone was paying attention to him at this time.

His words immediately caused everyone's faces to change in unison.

Being sucked dry of essence and blood, it's simply creepy!

At the same time, after Tang Ziyan and Xu Yiqing heard these words, their faces suddenly turned pale, they looked at each other in horror, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Gluttonous Demon Skill!"
