Bai Cheng's eyes sank and asked, "That's weird, why did this snake appear here?"

Lin Su also sighed and said: "Although the black line fire tail is rare, but the royal family of the Chen Kingdom is the biggest customer of the Shengchen Pavilion, if the royal family of the Chen Kingdom asks for it, brother, I think the Shengchen Pavilion will not refuse."

Bai Cheng nodded and said, "Little brother understands." He casually threw the snake corpse aside.

Lin Su also hurriedly bent down, carefully picked up the snake corpse, and said: "Brother, don't look at this snake as inconspicuous, the snake venom and snake gall on its body are the best medicinal materials, and it is worth at least a thousand gold when it is brought to someone who knows the goods." Snake scales are also a good material, and my brother's sword doesn't have a scabbard yet, so you might as well use this snake scale. ”

Bai Cheng was stunned and said with a smile: "It's still Brother Lin who can do business!"

Lin Su also put away the snake corpse, and the two walked along this broken path towards the forest.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the remains of a Taoist temple appeared in front of the two.

Judging from the remaining buildings, this Taoist temple was extremely magnificent in those years, the courtyard walls on all sides were towering, the bluestone paved in front of the door, the two gates were more than one zhang high, and there were forty-nine fist-sized copper nails nailed on them, and there were bluestone steps outside the door. Just from the row of dismounting stones and tethered horse piles under the steps, you can get a glimpse of its glory in its heyday.

Now this Taoist temple is dilapidated, the courtyard walls on all sides have collapsed, the bluestone slabs in front of the door are also a lot of fragments, and the two gates are even more unbearable, only one is left leaning there, as if it is making a silent mockery.

Above the Taoist temple is a black plaque, gray, full of spider silk, can only be vaguely seen, written "Bitianyuan" three big characters.

Bai Cheng walked into the courtyard, and Lin Su was still walking side by side.

After the two came to the courtyard, they saw that many of the houses in the courtyard had collapsed, and they were charred black everywhere.

Bai Cheng entered a few rooms that were still good, only to see that the furnishings in the house had not changed, there was no trace of a fight, and even some salutes and belongings were placed in their place.

The two looked through a few houses, but found nothing, but found a bloodstain under a corridor in the courtyard. The blood had dried up for years, and it had long since turned a dark black. If it weren't for the fact that both of them were experts in the rivers and lakes, they would hardly recognize that it was bloodstained.

Bai Cheng said: "What Elder Feng said is true, Bitianyuan really suffered a military disaster back then, and it was still a rare elite soldier who was dispatched, otherwise he wouldn't have just come to kill people and not move his goods." ”

Lin Su also nodded and said: "What my brother said is good, but he can mobilize a large number of elite people around the capital, but I am afraid that there are few people in Chen Guo, and it is not difficult to check along this line." ”

Bai Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "Huang Tiandao settled me here, is it because I can't investigate the case back then?"

Lin Su also pondered for a moment and said, "What the elder brother said also makes sense, it's just that the masters of the Yellow Heavenly Dao are like clouds, why would they pick the elder brother?"

Bai Cheng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

The two of them looked in the front yard, and found nothing, so they walked down the verandah to the courtyard.

Not far along the verandah, there is the main hall of Bitenyuan. In the Bitian Courtyard, many houses were burned down, but everything around the main hall was normal, and there was no trace of fire at all.

The two of them were a little strange, and pushed the door and walked into the main hall.

As soon as he entered the temple gate, Lin Su also shouted, "Ah!"

Bai Cheng then entered, and he couldn't help but be surprised!

In the main hall, the place where the three Qing Dao ancestors were originally enshrined is now empty, and the three statues of the gods have disappeared, leaving only an empty offering table!

Lin Su was also surprised and said, "Who is so bold and dares to touch the statue of the Three Qing Dao Ancestors!"

Seeing that Bai Cheng was a little puzzled, he said: "Killing the Taoist priest of Bitian Courtyard is just a conflict, but destroying the statue of the Three Qing Dao Ancestors is outright blasphemy, and it is a life-and-death enmity with the Daomen, and it cannot be forgiven!"

Bai Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the statue was just moved away, but it wasn't actually destroyed?"

Lin Su also shook his head and said, "Absolutely not, according to the height of this hall, the height of the statue is at least more than one zhang, as long as it is moved slightly, it will be damaged." ”

Lin Su was also born in Wudou Midao since he was a child, and he had great respect for the Sanqing Dao Ancestor since he was a child, and when he suddenly saw this scene, he was already full of anger.

He looked around the hall, hoping to find any clues, but in the end he didn't find any traces, so he could only sigh and say, "Brother, let's go to the backyard again to see if there are any other clues." ”

The two left the main hall and strolled to the backyard.

Bitian Courtyard was originally a royal Taoist temple, the scale of construction is very large, the whole backyard is divided into three parts, the central part is several separate courtyards, for the courtyard owner, the prison and other important people to live, on both sides are several rows of side rooms, one side for other Taoists to live and rest, the other side is a room and the like, for the Taoist priest in the courtyard to eat.

Between the front and back yards, there was a large flat field, and in the middle of this flat land was a large pine tree, which was extremely tall, at least twice as tall as the trees outside the courtyard. It was this pine tree that Bai Cheng saw outside the forest just now.

Lin Su also said curiously: "How can such a big pine tree be planted in the middle of a good flat and tidy place?"

Bai Cheng was also a little strange, he stepped forward and touched the thick trunk of the pine tree, and for a moment, he only felt that there was a yin qi slowly seeping out, which was extremely uncomfortable.

If it was before the Three Rivers Mansion, Bai Cheng would not have recognized this as Yin Qi, but after the battle of the Three Rivers Mansion, he was already extremely sensitive to the Yin Qi, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Lin, this tree is not right!"

Lin Su was still startled, and hurriedly walked over, stretched out his hand to touch it, his face changed suddenly, and said, "Why is there so much yin qi?"

Bai Cheng didn't have time to explain to him, so he took two steps back, closed his eyes slightly, and silently recited the secret of breaking the jade and returning to the origin, gathering the power of his mind in his eyes, and running the dragon seeking style of the thirteen styles of breaking the jade.

After a while, Bai Cheng opened his eyes, and for a moment, his face changed suddenly.

The clouds were gloomy and bleak in the blue courtyard, and the air was wafting, and wisps of black gas were everywhere. These black qi slowly drifted towards the sky, gathering into black beasts in the air, some with three heads and six arms, some with hands all over their bodies, and some with tiger heads and human bodies, similar to the black smoke life that Bai Cheng saw in the ancient battlefield of Sanhe Mansion.

The only difference was that these black smoke beings did not have an iron ring around their necks, but an iron chain wrapped around their waists, which extended from their waists and stretched out under the roots of the large pine tree in front of Bai Cheng.

Bai Cheng looked down at the chain.

At first, all he could see was a puff of black smoke. After a while, the black smoke suddenly faded, and under the black smoke, streams of blood flowed from the void, constantly tumbling, pouring into a pool of blood.

The blood in the pool was gushing straight out, bottomless, and iron chains stretched out to the bottom of the pool of blood.

Bai Cheng's face was pale, and he was looking at the pool of blood, when he suddenly felt someone pushing behind him, and hurriedly put away the dragon hunting style and looked back.

I saw that Lin Su was still full of nervousness, and asked, "Brother, what are you looking at if you don't move?"

Bai Cheng let out a sigh of relief and said, "This big pine tree is a bit strange, we have to think of a way to dig it up." (To be continued.) )
