Chapter 33 Visiting the Kong Mansion at Night
Liang Yan hid behind a tree and saw the people of the "Eradicate Association" starting to discuss the specific details, and thought to himself:
"It turns out that Chen Zhuoan's true identity is this." The leader of the 'Slaying Association'. I didn't expect this small Yongle town to be so lively, with entanglements in the world and temples, as well as secret plots by cultivators."
Liang. Yan glanced at everyone present, and said in his heart: "If I were that group of monks, I would definitely set up hidden stakes among the mortals in Yongle Town to monitor everyone coming and going for suspicious persons. This group of people come from all over the world, and they have martial arts skills. I wonder if there is a hidden stake for them."
While Liang Yan was thinking in his heart, everyone over there had finalized their plans, greeted each other, and then left. Liang Yan waited until they were all gone before he got up and returned to the inn alone.
He returned to the inn, pushed open Tang Diexian's room, and saw that there was no one inside. He sat down at the table and sorted out the current clues alone.
“Although the group of monks lurking in Yongle Town are cautious, at present, it seems that they don’t know that Tang Diexian and I have come to the town as investigation disciples of the sect, otherwise this would never be the case. Calm."
"He They didn't seem to notice that the green-robed guest was dead last night. Otherwise, just because the green-robed guest lived in the Laifu Inn, it would be easy to suspect that the person who had just moved to the inn recently would not send a trainee alone during the day. A monk from the fourth level of Qi comes to the store to investigate, which is no different than committing suicide now. It seems that the old fortune teller during the day came to check the suspicious people in his area as a routine matter."
"But it seems even more strange that these people all wear the same jade pendant. , and behave like a disciplined person Organization, why haven’t they noticed that Lu Pao Ke died today?”
While Liang Yan was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a creak and saw the west window being pushed open. Then a woman in white came in through the window, it was Tang Diexian.
Liang Yan frowned and said: "You didn't leave the good door, but you wanted to climb through the window. You thought you were some blind thief."
Tang Diexian knocked on him and said angrily: " You are a thief!" Then he said excitedly: "I have found out that although the master of martial arts arranged by the sect passed away, the person who succeeded him was a warrior named Kong Xiang."< br>
"Oh? Where is this person now?"
"He is dead, he died two years ago, and his whole family was wiped out, leaving no one alive!"
Liang Yan's pupils shrank and he was silent for a while before saying, "Two years ago? What a coincidence, it was also two years ago that the sect lost contact. It seems that this person was not hiding something, but was silenced."
Tang Diexian nodded and said: "Yes, I think so too."
Liang Yan added: "In that case, let's go to the Confucius Mansion tonight. The tragedy of that year, if it is a cultivator What he did may leave some clues.”
“That’s what I meant!”
Tang Diexian took out two sets of night clothes and threw one to Liang Yan. The two of them put on their clothes, left an oil lamp in the room, and ran out of the Laifu Inn.
The two stepped on the bricks and tiles of the roof, and after a few leaps, they arrived in front of a house in the north of the town.
This mansion has red bricks and green tiles, and has an extraordinary atmosphere. It can be seen that it was bustling and lively in the past, but it has been abandoned for a long time now, and the corners and eaves are covered with spider webs.
The two of them climbed over the wall and walked into the inner courtyard. They saw only broken beams and broken tiles along the way. It was obvious that there had been a struggle.
After a brief inspection of the surroundings, Tang Diexian said: "There are traces of spells involving cultivators. It was a one-sided battle. It is not an exaggeration to call it a massacre."
Liang Yan nodded. Said: "These monks want to control the spiritual mines, so it makes sense to massacre Kong Xiang's family." Let's search around carefully to see if there are any clues."
Tang Diexian naturally had no objections. The two of them split up. Liang Yan walked to each room in the inner hall and searched them one by one. Nothing more was found except some decorative furniture.
Liang Yan searched for about half an hour and found no clues, so he had no choice but to return to the meeting hall. At this time, Tang Diexian had also returned. The two looked at each other and could see the disappointment in each other's eyes.
Liang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that these people were so clean in their work and didn't leave any clues."
Tang Diexian also said angrily: "These slick foxes, don't Let me catch them, otherwise I will teach them a lesson!" Then he thought of something again and said to Liang Yan: " I found these things in those fighting halls. They should be left behind after the First World War. You can check to see if there are any clues."
As he said that, he took out the storage bag and put it on the ground. With a shake, several iron swords, axes and the like fell out in an instant. Some were rusty, and some were filled with cold light. They were obviously not ordinary soldiers. These things fell to the ground and made a clanging sound.
Liang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, he leaned down, pulled out a sword that exuded a cold light, and struck the ground a few times.
Seeing his appearance, Tang Diexian said excitedly: "Is there any clue on this sword?" Liang Yan shook his head and said: "It's not that there is a problem with the sword, but that there is a problem underground!"
"Underground?"< br>
Tang Diexian is also a smart person, and he immediately reacted, "You mean there is a universe underground?"
"Yes!" Liang Yan nodded and said, "There should be a secret room underground. ”
His six senses are as sharp as those of ordinary fifth-level qi-training monks. He just hit the ground with a steel knife and has determined that there is a secret room deep underground.
As Liang Yan spoke, he began to explore nearby. Tang Diexian knew that he was looking for a mechanism to enter the secret room, so he said nonchalantly: "Don't bother, let's cast a spell to penetrate a downward passage. That’s it.”
Liang Yan glanced at her and asked: "Now in Yongle Town, there is a group of fourth- and fifth-level qi-training monks, and there are only two of us. Do you know what our biggest reliance is?"< br>
Tang Diexian shook his head.
Liang Yan blinked and smiled: "Our biggest reliance is that the enemy is in the light and we are in the dark. Those monks don't know that we have used our identities as mortals to sneak into Yongle Town, so we can fish in troubled waters. ! ”
Tang Diexian rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are the only one with the most clever ideas. If you don't want to fight, don't fight. I'll look for him with you!" After that, he also started searching in the room.
The two searched for a while, and Tang Diexian suddenly touched an oil lamp and made a slight clicking sound, which was keenly caught by Liang Yan.
He was overjoyed and walked to the oil lamp, dragging the chassis to slowly rotate. He only heard a clicking sound, and a rumbling sound came from behind the desk, and then the ground opened, revealing a The steps go deep underground.
Liang Yan and Tang Diexian looked at each other and walked down the steps one after another. Liang Yan took out the Nine-Dragon Stick and walked in front first. Tang Diexian walked behind and raised his hand to cast a spell, which emitted a faint light and illuminated the path downward.
The two walked down for a while, and suddenly saw a stone door in front of them. Liang Yan reached out and pushed it open, only to see a stone room inside. It contains beds, desks, oil lamps and other daily necessities, as well as a lot of dried meat, noodles and other food that can be stored. There is also a ditch on the ground with clear water, which seems to be a channel of living water.
"It seems that someone has lived here for a while." Tang Diexian said.
Liang Yan nodded and walked to the desk. He suddenly caught a glimpse of a black book and picked it up to read through it.
Unexpectedly, Liang Yan's eyes lit up as soon as he read a page, and he saw it read: "Li Hong is a thief, forming a party for personal gain, deceiving the superiors and subordinates, excluding dissidents in the government, and plundering the people's wealth from the people. In fact, he was the king of the country and the pillar of the country, General Zhang. Fortunately, Tang stole a false imperial edict and was about to go to Beijing to meet the emperor, but he accidentally leaked the news and was intercepted and killed by Li Hong's dog thief. After desperately delaying, Tang Mou was allowed to escape."
Liang Yan thought to himself: "It seems that this diary was left by the Tang Tiannan mentioned by Chen Zhuoan."
He continued to look down. , I saw what was written at the end, intermittently, which probably meant that there was a martial arts family named Kong in Yongle town. Their head Kong Xiang was a family friend of his and worthy of being entrusted, so he came here to seek refuge with him. There is a secret room in Kong Xiang's home, where he recovers from his injuries.
The diary ends abruptly at this point. Tang Diexian took the diary and read it carefully. He frowned and said, "This diary does not mention the tragedy of the Kong family, but this place is so secretive. Judging from the appearance of this place, it should not have been discovered by the monks. Maybe this is called Tang Tiannan." He's not dead yet."
Liang Yan nodded and said, "That's most likely the case. Tang Tiannan is probably not dead. He was the only survivor of the tragedy. Maybe you know something."
After hearing this, Tang Diexian couldn't help but feel discouraged: "It's just that Yongle Town is so big, where can we find such a person?"
Liang? Yan smiled and said: "Maybe we don't need to look for it, someone will help us find it."
As he said that, he told her exactly what he had heard in the forest before. Then he added: "If Tang Tiannan is not dead, he will definitely not let the false edict go unchecked. If he finds the false edict, he might be able to follow the clues and find Tang Tiannan."
"Is there such a thing?" Tang Diexian's eyes widened. Do you mean: "We are going to follow them secretly?"
"I'm afraid it's more than just following them secretly." Liang Yan shook his head and said, "It's necessary. We still have to help them.”
