After returning from the sacrifice, Wu Zheng did not ask Zhong Liqun who he had arrested, but went to the Water Snake Bay that was sunk in the pond very alone at sunset.

The first order issued by Ning Yunju was to "arrest the culprits who murdered Wu Xuezheng's ancestors and grandsons five years ago"; the second order was to thoroughly investigate the grave diggers, and after listening to Wu Zheng's analysis, it turned into a search for Wu Gan, a former private school teacher.

For the people involved in the first order, Zhong Liqun only caught the patriarch Wu Youren, the grandson of the Wu family, Wu Liwei, who was about to take over as the patriarch, Wu Chun, the head of martial arts, and Wu Lishan, who invaded Wu Zheng's ancestral house, and was also the culprit who killed Wu Zheng's grandmother with his own hands.

And the real masterminds behind the scenes, Wu Jizong and Wu Jixue, are nowhere to be found. Even after rummaging through the homes of the two of them, and Wujiabao found no trace of the two, Zhong Liqun did not make up the number of the two people's families.

As for the second order, it was naturally impossible to catch Wu Gan, so he had to pass Wu Gan's son Wu Liyun to the Wu family ancestral hall for interrogation. Seeing that Wu Liyun didn't look like he was lying, he didn't even know that his father had a good martial arts, so how would he know Wu Gan's whereabouts. Therefore, Zhong Liqun finally put him back.

With the arrest of Wu Youren and Wu Lishan, it is rumored that it was not Wu Zheng who lost the big green cow in the clan, but under the instigation of Wu Youren and others, he was secretly led out by Wu Lishan and sold to Luo Xudong in the back slope, so as to blame Wu Zheng, causing Wu Zheng to be finally sunk in the pond, and the rumor that Wu Zheng's grandmother was killed by Wu Lishan because she went to argue for her grandson was finally confirmed.

So much so that the clansmen who already looked down on Wu Lishan privately revealed Wu Lishan's shortcomings, especially about Wu Lishan being the illegitimate son of Wu Youren and Wu Youjin's wife, which was rumored to be known to everyone.

At the same time, about Mr. Wu Gan not only concealed the truth about a good martial arts, but also. It is very likely that the news that Wu Lipeng's wife's tomb was stolen by Wu Gan has also quietly spread.

All this is not important to Wu Zheng, who has been standing on the shore of Water Snake Bay for a long time. Ever since I came here again, I've been thinking about a question that I had neglected before,—— the giant snake that almost ate me back then, but just saved myself, grew naturally. There are still people who deliberately keep them in the dark hole.

Now that I think about it, I always think that natural growth is not very likely.

For a snake to grow to such a huge body, it not only takes a long time, but also needs plenty of food. Just by being sunk in the water, how can five or six people for decades afford to raise such a big snake?

Even though there were a lot of poisonous snakes in the water below, there were fish, shrimp, and frogs, and that alone was not enough to fill the giant snake's stomach. Hungry serpents are bound to swim outside in search of food. In this way, it is impossible for the people of Wujiapu and its nearby villages to be unaware of the existence of the giant snake.

The opposite is true. If someone really saw the giant snake that went out to forage, it must have been rumored in the neighborhood a long time ago, and it was impossible for Wu Zheng not to know.

Then, there is only one possibility left, the giant snake is raised by man, and it comes to feed on a regular basis. Just recalling the situation in the dark cave at that time, and not finding a trace of snake molt, is a strong evidence.

You must know that snake molt is a very expensive traditional Chinese medicine. In particular, the snake molt of the giant snake can also be used to make sword scabbards and scabbards in addition to medicine. and water-resistant containers. Even some musical instruments, such as the skin of the erhu, are indispensable for snake shedding.

For example, the small bag that always hangs on his chest to store his father's last letter and the diamond-shaped mark left by his mother. It was specially made when it was in Linshan City, and the material was also snakeskin. Not only is it waterproof, but it is also extremely wear-resistant.

Suddenly getting such a result, Wu Zheng couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

"Doesn't that mean? Has the "Nine Styles of Heaven" in the pit at the end of the cave been discovered by the owner of the giant snake a long time ago? In other words, is the purpose of raising the giant snake here to take care of the "Nine Styles of Heaven" in the pit?"

Thinking along this line of thought, Wu Jizong and others' relentless pursuit of themselves shows that the people of Wujiabao. At least Wu Jizong, Wu Jixue and others can never be the masters of the giant snake. And Liu Chaofeng and others in Liulinbao are even more impossible.

Could it be Wu Gan?

Wu Zheng immediately shook his head and denied it.

If it was Wu Gan, he would definitely practice the "Lingxiao Nine Styles" technique carved in the pit, so that when Wu Gan faced Liu Shiqing or met himself, it would be impossible not to use the "Lingxiao Nine Styles". With just one and a half moves, Wu Zheng will be able to recognize it at a glance.

"That is to say, there is still a master in Wujiabao or the surrounding villages who understands the Nine Styles of Lingxiao!"

At this time, Wu Zheng was no longer frightened, but felt a little afraid.

If the analysis is correct, when that person finds that the giant snake he raised has been killed, and even the snake meat has been eaten, it will be impossible not to know that it was his own doing. After all, someone was sunk in the pond, no matter how you say it, it is a big event that is enough to cause a sensation for a long time. Even if Wu Jizong and others wanted to take advantage of the night to hide it as much as they could, it would never be as they wished, and it would always be spread.

Worried that he would mislead himself, so he got into the tip of the horns, Wu Zheng decided to go into the water immediately to explore. Re-enter the underwater cave that once made you die, looking for clues.

If there really is such a person, this is really terrifying for Wu Zheng. Compared with Wu Gan, I don't know how many generations it will be dangerous.

The reason why he chose to enter from Water Snake Bay was because when he was sweeping the grave in the afternoon, Wu Zheng had already found that the pit engraved with the mantra of the "Lingxiao Nine Styles" exercise had already been filled.

The river water at the beginning of summer was very cool, and the memory of the last time still remained clearly in Wu Zheng's mind. Although his skills are different from those back then, Wu Zheng is still a little jealous of the elusive poisonous snake in the water.

Once in the water, watch the water around you and dive towards the entrance of the dark cave. At the same time, in order to resist the coolness of the river water, and secondly, to guard against poisonous snakes that may attack them at any time, the true qi in the body naturally runs slowly along the meridians of the whole body.

Water Snake Bay, which has almost not changed in the past four or five years, is no longer a concept in the eyes of thirteen and eighteen-year-old Wu Zheng. Therefore, when I was a child, I felt very deep and terrible Water Snake Bay, but now I find that it is just a pond more than two people deep, but there are more poisonous snakes than other places.

Therefore, after only two or three breaths, Wu Zheng found the entrance to the dark hole underwater.

Stopping at the entrance of the cave and thinking for a while about the scene of being dragged in by the giant snake and the iron cage, Wu Zheng found that the memory of that small period was already a little vague. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the injuries on my body were too severe at that time, and I choked on a few mouthfuls of river water when I fell into the water.

Reach out and touch the wall of the cave at the entrance, and swim in little by little. At this time, Wu Zheng's mind had all been put into the dark hole in front of him, and he had completely forgotten about the elusive poisonous snake in the water.

So, when Wu Zheng's upper body had left the water surface and appeared in the dark hole, a sharp pain suddenly came from his left calf.

"Oh no, bitten by a poisonous snake!" (To be continued.) )
