Looking in the direction of Dai Shen's finger, the person who came was a man in his thirties, with dark skin all over his body, probably due to excessive sweat and a lot of oil after work, and now he looked straight back.

Dai Shen first greeted him, "Lao Tong, come back." Last time, I asked about Fengxue, and our boss came to take a look this time. ”

Lao Tong was stunned for a moment, and then recognized Dai Shen, it seemed that they had been in contact before. "Ah, you're here. This is your boss?"

Wan Peng nodded, and did not step forward to say much, all of them were endorsed by the daisen. Dai Shen smiled, "The boss has an important matter to find Fengxue, so in order to be safe, I came here in person." ”

Lao Tong looked at Wan Peng, and also smiled honestly, but he was obviously still wary of Wan Peng's arrival, although he was introduced by Dai Shen, he was always a little timid for a while, and his eyes were a little wrong when he looked at Wan Peng. Wan Peng didn't mind this, took the initiative to smile at him, and then by the way, he found two things that he might still be able to use from the ring and gave them to him, which brought him some distance closer to Lao Tong.

Asked about Fengxue's life experience, Lao Tong thought for a while and said, "Fengxue has lived in this village since he was a child, but he is not from this village and was selected from outside. At that time, his adoptive parents, Mr., gave birth to a child, but unfortunately died before the full moon. The two of them were so grieved that they were probably moved by the heavens and were favored, and one day when they went out to work, they found Fengxue, who had just been born, in the field, and brought it back and taught him as if he were their own only child. ”

"However, there are always too many twists and turns for people with a hard life, and more than 20 years ago, Fengxue's adoptive parents were killed, and the murderer is unknown. It was also at this time that Fengxue began to live independently on his own. ”

"Actually, Fengxue is smart and well-behaved, and he is also loved by the people in the village. However, it may be because he knew that he was selected, and because his adoptive parents died, he was relatively alone, and he did not have many friends in the village. It is estimated that Feng Xue left the village about four or five years ago and has never returned. ”

These experiences of Fengxue are actually of little help to Wanpeng to find Fengxue, and at the same time, they have no meaning for the tracing of the Dan's strength. Wan Peng naturally turned the topic back to Feng Xue's return, "Then, Feng Xue is back, how do you know?"

Lao Tong rubbed the mud on his arm, "You can ask about this." In fact, my family is next door to Fengxue's old house, and my ancestors have always been friendly with Fengxue's adoptive parents' family, so when Fengxue left, I have been paying attention to the situation of Fengxue's house in case there is a fire and waterlogging. ”

"Three days ago in the evening, when I came back from farming, I unexpectedly saw a light on in the courtyard of Fengxue's house, and I thought it was a thief, and I wanted to go in to see what was going on, but I didn't want Fengxue to come out of it, saying that everything was fine. But since then, Bong-hak doesn't seem to have appeared, and there has been no light in the house. ”

Wan Peng nodded as he listened, "Are you sure it was three days ago?"

Lao Tong replied with great certainty, "That's right." Because I have a litter of pigs in my family, I have to count the days to determine the feeding plan for the pigs, so I remember the time very accurately lately. ”

Wan Peng let out a "hmm", obviously matching the time with what had happened before. At this time, Dai Shen suggested to Wan Peng, "Why don't we go and have a look first?"

Wan Peng nodded and turned to Lao Tong for advice. From the previous conversation, Lao Tong also saw that Wan Peng had no ill will towards Fengxue, and he agreed with confidence at this time. He led the way, and the group went directly to Fengxue's old mansion.

The old mansion of the Feng scholar, in the furthest part of the village, should be the largest in the village in terms of floor area, but from the sensory point of view, it should also be the most dilapidated in the village, although the outer walls were once very high, but most of them have collapsed, revealing a total of a dozen houses inside.

The overall design of the house is a more solid stone pile design, which does not quite match the current style of wood and stone structure in the village. Probably due to years of weathering, some of the stones on the surface of the house have begun to shed thin crusts.

"This is the old mansion of the Feng scholar. Lao Tong pointed to the courtyard, "This is probably the oldest courtyard in our village." It's a pity that when it came to the generation of parents who were studying and adopting their parents, there were still more than a dozen people, but they were stunned and the whole family was wiped out. Fengxue is only an outsider, and the incense of this family is so broken. ”

Wan Peng nodded as he looked at the collapsed courtyard wall, touching it with his hand from time to time. "What happened when their whole family was wiped out?"

"We don't know about that. This family has been said to be good people for generations, but in one night, they all died. We lived next door, and we didn't hear anything out of the ordinary, but someone said that there was a noticeable flash of light in the yard that night. Lao Tong shook his head while reminiscing, "I don't know if I offended any master, or if I have some old grudge to collect debts, it's terrible to think about." Fortunately, those people are not extremely vicious, and Feng Xue, the child who was picked up, got away with his life. ”

"You mean, when the family was destroyed that night, Feng Xue was also at home?" Wan Peng keenly discovered this situation and asked Lao Tong for confirmation.

"Yes, at home, of course. Where else can he go when he's not at home? The next morning, he woke us up. Lao Tong said these things, it seems that the scene at that time is still vivid, "When I think of the scene after entering this mansion, I feel uncomfortable." ”

Wan Peng nodded again, as if thinking about something. Not long after, his hand stopped on a bluestone on the wall to drive spiritual power.

Starting from his hand, lines of light appeared on the entire wall.

This is a formation! On the wall of this house, there is a formation!

However, these formations have become incomplete with the collapse of the wall, and it is impossible to judge what the original function was. Lao Tong was stunned now, "This, what is this? Is it a formation?"

Wan Peng nodded, "It may or may not be." The buildings here are mainly made of stone, and it is not excluded that they were left by the buildings of that time. ”

He said this in his mouth, but he did not think so in his heart at all. Because of these formations, even if it is impossible to judge whether they are used for attack and defense, it can be concluded that they have nothing to do with the building. He didn't want to tell Lao Tong thoroughly, because he didn't want to leak any more rumors because of some unconfirmed speculations.

Lao Tong now looked at Wan Peng differently, "Could it be that you are also a cultivator? I heard that the formation should be driven by a cultivator." ”

Wan Peng smiled slightly and shook his head, "I'm an alchemist, an alchemist, the kind of person who helps people deal with all kinds of materials. For example, someone digs ore out of the forest, so it needs to be purified, and alchemists do this. There are cultivators in this profession, but there are some locals who can do it after special training. ”

Wan Peng's explanation in this way did not deny his identity as a cultivator, and of course he did not affirm his identity as a cultivator. At the beginning, he chose to open a friend to come to the alchemy because of the alchemy, and some locals were also doing it. And the aura of a cultivator on his body has basically been removed from eight or nine out of ten according to Liyang's prompts.

Lao Tong obviously accepted this explanation, "I see, I see." No wonder you can see the formation. I've heard that some alchemists want to refine certain things to break the formation. ”

Wan Peng smiled and said nothing. Walking to the main entrance of this house, Wan Peng looked inside twice, and then turned his head and asked Lao Tong, "Can we go in and have a look?"

Lao Tong took two steps forward generously, took out a bunch of keys, and opened the lock on the door, "Yes, what's wrong with this." Before Feng Xue, he said that he would let me help look at the house. ”

After that, he pushed the door, and the two wooden doors opened inward with a creak, and the whole courtyard was presented in front of Wan Peng's eyes.

Entering the courtyard, Wan Peng's doubts were even heavier. The architectural layout of many objects in the courtyard is actually the same as the layout of some formations. In other words, when this courtyard was built, it was definitely not designed by the locals themselves, but by the participation of cultivators.

Of course, this also confirms Lao Tong's statement: overnight, more than a dozen people were killed. These dozen or so people, it is not excluded that they are cultivators.

Because the descendants of the combination of cultivators and cultivators cannot cultivate, they have become a very common kind of people in the cultivator camp. However, this kind of person is also the most likely to bear the hatred of the previous generation, and their enemies are often cultivators.

The cultivator who practiced the sky, above the Yuan Infant, killed the locals, it was as easy as a hand.

Lao Tong carefully introduced the living layout of the entire courtyard to Wan Peng, and the adoptive parents who studied back then lived in the main house, that is, the house where the gate was directly opposite, which was also consistent with their identity as the eldest in the family. After the death of his adoptive parents, Feng Xue has also been living in the main house, and he has also appeared in the main house since he came back last time.

Wan Peng walked to the main room and checked the lock on the door in detail. Since this is already someone's inner room, Lao Tong has no key and the door can't be opened. The lock has obviously been touched recently, which coincides with what Lao Tong said about coming back from Fengxue.

Walking under the window again, the windows are all wooden, and the window paper on them has long been damaged, but in the house, there are stone slabs specially used to cover the windows, which are now blocked, so I can't see the situation inside the house clearly.

After going around the main house, Wan Peng had determined that there was no one else hiding in the entire courtyard through spiritual detection, so he thanked Lao Tong: "Thank you for bringing us here to check." We are looking for Fengxue, and if he comes back, you must inform us. Or if it's inconvenient for you to find us, you can tell Fengxue directly, and say that the boss of the Penglai Alchemy has come here to find him, and this will be handed over to him. After that, Wan Peng also attached a drawing of the latest progress of research in the past few days.

The drawings are all drawn continuously, so they are all partial, and there will be no leakage problems. Lao Tong heard Wan Peng say that he could tell Feng Xue, and left something for Feng Xue, and he trusted Wan Peng even more, nodded his head, and said in a general manner, "Okay! Boss, don't worry, this matter is on me." Feng Xue is also a person from our village, and we will definitely help if we can help. ”

Wan Peng thanked Lao Tong again, then turned around and walked out of the hospital. I walked to the door, but I was surprised to find that more than a dozen people had just gathered around the door. When the leader saw Wan Peng, he arched his hand, and said in a somewhat strange tone, "Boss Wan." ”
