subordinates dare not

The guest room where the Red Flame Gang lives has been sealed by the Beiqi Sect, and no one else is allowed to visit. As for the nine people who died unfortunately, Wei Chuge also sent people to bury them three days later, and the other nine puppets were handed over to the doctors of the three factions for preservation and research. .

The Qiongguang sect is the most skilled sect in the world. It would be a feasible way to find traces of the Demon Cult from the source of medicinal materials filled with corpses. According to the rules, they Qiongguanggu don't save the dead, let alone engage in forensic work, so they have to give up for the time being.

Six days later, the Kaiyang sect disciples who had gone to the headquarters of the Chiyan Gang along the Puzhou River came back in a carriage, and brought the shocking news that the Chiyan Gang had been wiped out.

The disciples of the Kaiyang sect claimed that when they went there, the corpses of the Chiyan gang were dark, and there were rotten blood flowing from the mouth and nose. After the autopsy, it was said that these corpses were killed with a knife about seven or eight days ago.

Seven or eight days ago, it was about the night when the Chiyan Gang was killed, that is to say, the Chiyan Gang was wiped out overnight.

The matter was not publicized, only the disciples who sent the letter and the heads of the three sects, the elders knew that Meng Fuyuan still got the news from Bian Qingyu.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Meng Fuyuan estimates that it will spread throughout the entire Jianghu in less than half a month.

Why was the Red Flame Gang wiped out by the remnants of the Demon Sect?Is it because of deep grievances, or is it a long-planned plan by the Demon Cult?

Meng Fuyuan asked Bian Qingyu for a map of the distribution of various factions in the Jianghu and a map of 150 years ago, and went back to Zhulin Xiaozhu to study it carefully.

Meng Fuyuan didn't care about the rankings of the three factions. He didn't care about the rankings of the three factions. In addition, Bian Qingyu told him that the Tianshu faction would be second this time, so there was no suspense in this group arena match.

The paper of the old map has turned yellow, but the ink marks are relatively deep. It is estimated that later generations compiled it based on their own guesses in Jianghu history books, or compared it with the old map. The information given by Bianqing should not be wrong.

From the old map, we can see that the ruins of the Devil's Cult are in Xuzhou, and the Red Flame Gang is in Puzhou. There is a Yellow River in between, hundreds of miles of land. Puzhou is already close to Shuofang area, and the two are far apart.

Meng Fuyuan couldn't see any way out for the time being, so he had no choice but to give up this clue.If you want to follow the vine, peel the cocoon and spin the silk, you need to change the angle.

Meng Fuyuan thought for a while, what if we start from the perspective of a puppet?According to Elder Songyun of Linghao Pavilion, puppets are made of human skin and human bones filled with medicinal materials. After all, medicinal materials need to be consumed, so if you can know how often the medicinal materials that maintain the peeling puppet technique need to be replaced, and then infer from this information that the nine members of the Red Flame Gang When people were skinned and cramped, filled with medicinal materials, to reverse the regions that the Red Flame Gang passed through during that time, you can probably find traces of the remnants of the Demon Cult, although this is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, but regardless Anyway, that's always the way to go.

Meng Fuyuan sent [-] to [-] people to investigate, and at the same time wrote to ask Bian Qingyu, but before he found any important information on the [-]th, Bian Qingyu's reply came first, and Bian Qingyu wrote in the letter Write--

The peeling puppet technique needs to be soaked with water every five days to keep the human skin from rotting, and the medicinal materials are also changed every five days.

Therefore, members of the Demon Cult will inevitably appear in the area passed within five days from the Chiyan Gang. The Chiyan Gang entered the Beiqi Sect one day before the start of the three sects' competition, and within the Beiqi Sect, they avoided eyeliner and completed the practice of replacing medicinal materials. It is inconvenient, so one day has to be subtracted from five days, and the scope is narrowed to the places passed within four days.

Meng Fuyuan wrote another letter asking Eleven and others to investigate the route of the Chiyan Gang to Beiqizong.

The matter of the Chiyan Gang's destruction of the family should not be taken lightly. Meng Fuyuan used the mechanism bird to express to the head of Bian that he wanted to resign first. Taking advantage of the fact that there are still eight days to discuss between the three factions, he happened to investigate the tragedy of the Chiyan Gang's destruction of the family. , Even if you put it behind you now, you will not be able to avoid it in the future.Although this trip was dangerous, Meng Fuyuan knew that he would die in the battle against demons in the prophecy, so he was fearless.

Bian Qingyu wrote back saying yes.

In the evening, Eleven and others came back to report and drew the route traveled by the Chiyan Gang. In addition, the Chiyan Gang came on horseback. The journey in the past four days was also leisurely. They just left Jianzhou and passed through Xuzhou and other places.

Seventeen was in charge of the network of contacts in Xuzhou, and Seventeen detailed the map, circled a few areas where the Chiyan Gang stopped, and marked the name of the inn and teahouse.

However, no one has learned anything about the Demon Cult's skinning puppet technique.

Eleven cupped his hands and said: "Master, my subordinates have obtained some information from storytellers and sent people to visit various places in Xuzhou, but they can't get any definite conclusions. Looking up ancient books a hundred years ago, there is only "History of Lingyuan Rivers and Lakes." The chapter on the battle against demons recorded in "Records only describes the appearance and characteristics of the puppet, and does not mention how the puppet is maintained."

The skinning puppet technique is a secret technique of the Devil's Cult, so naturally it will not reveal too much to the outside world, and it is reasonable for the eleventh class to find out, Meng Fuyuan said: "It's nothing, I already have news."

Meng Fuyuan added to Eleven: "You go and inform everyone that we are leaving tonight, and the route will follow the route when the Chi Yan Gang came."

Meng Fuyuan returned to his bedroom, opened the transcribed booklets of prophecies locked in the mahogany box, and put them one by one on the printed blue cloth. After stacking them all, he saw an extra book in the wooden box that should have been empty. The nameless blue booklet was brought to him by Huo Yituo and Yan Yuanbai. Meng Fuyuan knew that the luggage should be as simple as possible, so he closed the lid of the wooden box and was about to lock it. Finally, he sighed resignedly and put the blue booklet away. Put the brochure in your own bag.

Just as a thought, what if there is still a chance to return to Wuwei Villa?Meng Fuyuan comforted himself.

In the middle of the night, the ink was getting thicker, but Meng Fuyuan was racing against time. The two carriages sent by Bian Qingyu stopped at the gate of Zhulin Xiaozhu, waiting for the departure. Meng Fuyuan locked the door with the black lacquered copper ring, and Bian Qingyu appeared in sight—— It should have come to see him off.

Meng Fuyuan couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid that Master Wei will know?"

"Master Meng's trip is to investigate the traces of the demon cultists, not to play any conspiracy to frame the Tianquan sect. Of course, the more people who know about this kind of thing, the better." Bian Qingyu was originally Smiling, I don’t know what I thought of, the smile gradually became superficial, like a smirk, "The evil cultists are so sinful that it is not a pity to die, I only hope that everyone will unite as one, work together, and wipe out those wicked people as soon as possible .”

For the past few days, Meng Fuyuan has been devoting himself to analyzing the situation of the Jianghu because of the Devil's Cult. The words of Bian Qingyu suddenly reminded Meng Fuyuan of the questions he had left before. Dao: "How does the head of Bian know that the medicinal materials for the peeling puppet technique are changed every five days?"

Bian Qingyu didn't even think about it, and asked instead: "Is this important?"

"You just need to know that the news will not go wrong. The process is not important, but the result is important, isn't it?"

He began to evade questions again, answering irrelevant questions, just like the poison and cup mentioned earlier on his body, Meng Fuyuan looked into Bian Qingyu's eyes, the color of which was bottomless, but this time, Meng Fuyuan intuitively felt that he could not force the question out Bian Qingyu's secret.

So Meng Fuyuan pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "My shadow guards have searched for a whole day, but there is no result. The news of the head of Bian is better."

"That's not true, Zhuang Meng's praise." Bian Qingyu smiled lightly, "It's been exactly five days since the Red Flame Gang was sent to today, and the bodies of the puppets of the Chiyan Gang have begun to rot, so I knew those puppets It can last up to five days."

"The incident of the Chiyan gang happened suddenly. If the time is urgent, the owner can go to Zhaoyuan Temple for me in a few days later." Bian Qingyu bowed, the auspicious clouds on the white skirt and the pattern of the confronting animal head, "the owner Take this trip seriously, be careful in everything, and I wish the owner a fruitful harvest.”

Meng Fuyuan made a bow, said some polite words and got on the carriage.

Bian Qingyu watched Meng Fuyuan's carriage wheel start to roll, rolling over the rugged mountain path, just like the gears of fate began to turn, all the past and the present are in the same direction, and the established fate begins to catch up with people who want to live in peace amidst the bright current and the dark. .

Bian Qingyu lowered his head and laughed a few times inexplicably. The smile seemed to be self-deprecating, but also seemed to be relieved.

Meng Fuyuan sat in the carriage and extinguished the tranquilizing incense in the carriage, Meng Fuyuan was never used to using incense outside, so he felt uneasy.

The words Bian Qingyu said just now echoed in his ears again, Meng Fuyuan frowned and lowered his eyes to ponder Bian Qingyu's words carefully, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that there was something wrong——

It's really wrong, I almost got caught in it.
