Shifang Wusheng

As long as he didn't hit the vital parts of the head, and the rest was cushioned by wooden boards, he would be able to reduce the injury rate considerably.

The Escort team traveled all the way, because it was a short distance, it only took one day to go back and forth, and the distance was only ten miles.

Just to the defense boundary of the city.

Wei He was vigilant all the way, but it was useless.Everything outside the city is peaceful.

From time to time on the official road, you can see groups of rich children who go out for an outing.

There are also city patrol soldiers who occasionally lead troops passing by.

The former is okay, no different from the ones seen in the city.But the patrolling soldiers seen behind made Wei He a little silent.

These patrol soldiers were all yellow and thin, walking weakly, some were holding weapons in their hands, and some were empty-handed.

He was wearing a yellow bottom shirt and a very worn-out gray leather armor, which could only protect his chest and back, and nothing else.

Even Wei He saw the shoes worn by these patrol soldiers, and some of them were actually open-toed rag shoes!

Only the team leader who leads the team dresses a little more decently, but it is also extremely limited.

That is to say, the weapons are more complete, the leather armor on the body is newer, and a pair of black cloth boots are replaced on the feet, that's all.

Relying on such soldiers, Wei He couldn't believe that the safety of Feiye City could be maintained by them.

The team kept moving forward, and the escorting trailers in the middle made vibrations from time to time as they rolled over rocks on the ground.

Gradually, when it was almost afternoon, the Escort team finally arrived at their destination.

According to the rules, it is necessary to rest in the place for a while, replenish and return.

Wei He also took advantage of this spare time to say hello to Chen Shiniu, and went to Mingde Temple alone.

Since the city is safe within ten miles, why did the parents disappear in Mingde Temple?

Now that he is here, Wei He intends to investigate quickly.

Chapter 13

Mingde Temple is located in the south of Feiye City, in the mountains and forests, with the endless sea of ​​trees and mountains behind it.

There is only one mountain road around, winding to its gate.

At this time, the sun was setting and the red light was everywhere.

A few pilgrims scattered in front of the temple are leaving.

It was already afternoon, and few people came to burn incense at this time.

For night in the wild is far more dangerous than day.

At this time, a tall and strong young man was standing at the gate of Mingde Temple.

The young man was dressed in dark green linen, with a big bamboo hat on his head, and a rough short knife on his waist. He approached the mountain gate briskly.

The young man has an ordinary face, but bright eyes, one can tell at a glance that he is not from an ordinary family with malnutrition.

But who would have thought that a few months ago, this person was still thin and small, with a weak body of bean sprouts.

The young man was Wei He who took advantage of the gap and left the team.

He ran all the way, wasted a lot of energy, and arrived at Mingde Temple in a short time.

Step by step along the gray stone steps, Wei He soon came to a large temple with yellow tiles and red walls.

On the plaque at the main entrance of the temple, it is written in red letters on a black background: Mingde Temple, three big characters.

Two little novice monks were sweeping the fallen leaves outside the door with a broom, sweeping the fallen leaves into a pile.

Wei He stood outside the door and looked inside. When the temple entered the door, there was a huge courtyard. Inside was a black incense burner surrounded by two people, and a lot of incense heads were slowly burning.

There is only a little smoke left in the incense head, and it seems that it is about to burn out.

At this time, two more pilgrims came together, stepped over the temple gate and entered the courtyard.

Then he bowed to the incense burner, saluted, and then entered the side hall.

Wei He didn't follow into the door, but turned to the left and walked around the temple wall into the forest.

The two little monks were sweeping the floor and whispering something, not paying attention to his movements at all.

Wei He walked around the Mingde Temple in a big circle, and found that the temple was quite new, and many places were completed recently.

Moreover, the monk's robe on the monk's body is also not bad in workmanship.Obviously not bad for money.

Returning to the main entrance of the temple, Wei He was about to enter.

But just in time to see the gate, a small group of soldiers came out from inside.

These soldiers were all thick and broad, tall and tall, wearing black standard leather armor, with a sheathed wide back knife on their waists, and they walked swiftly and well-trained.

A total of six soldiers filed out, protecting the pair of women in the middle.

Among the two women, one with a green dress and red shoes, tied with a girly bun, followed the other woman step by step.Obviously a maid or something.

Another woman, wearing a white veil, has black hair shawl, with silver hair accessories looming in the hair.

Even though this woman was wearing a veil, the gentle and polite temperament revealed in her eyes made Wei He involuntarily take a few more glances.

Looking from a distance, the core woman among the soldiers is wearing a white dress, spotless, and one can tell at a glance that someone in the family often does laundry for her.

Otherwise, no one can maintain this level of cleanliness all the time.

Wei He sighed in his heart, this ancient man did not have a washing machine, but could maintain this level of cleanliness, he must have come from an extraordinary background.

And those soldiers...

He turned his attention to the six soldiers guarding the woman.

The leather armor of these soldiers is engraved with a word "Hong".The handwriting is small, but extremely clear and profound.

Soon, under the escort of a group of soldiers, the woman descended the mountain along the stone steps, and gradually disappeared into the dense forest.

"Tsk tsk tsk... This private soldier of Hongjiabao looks different from ordinary people at first glance, he really is extraordinary." A pilgrim couldn't help but admire in a low voice.

"Good rice and good meat are offered every day. I heard that Hongjiabao also teaches private soldiers to practice external skills. Such a condition means that even a waste can be piled up into an elite." Another person stroked his beard and sighed.

"Isn't that the elite soldiers piled up with money? Now the defenders are emaciated, and his Hong Family Fort still secretly raises such strong private soldiers. This picture..."

Most of the pilgrims who are still active outside at this time are not ordinary people. They chatted at this time, and most of them had their own knowledge and opinions.

It was obvious at a glance what was wrong with Hongjiabao.

Wei He didn't say a word, what happened to Hongjiabao has nothing to do with him, he came here only to find the whereabouts of his missing parents.

Walking into the gate of the temple and into the courtyard, he soon found a monk with white eyebrows passing by.

"This master."

The monk who was pulled by him looked him up and down.

"The donor is courteous."

"I would like to ask, half a year ago, did your temple invite some stone carving craftsmen to come to the temple to carve Buddha statues?" Wei He asked in a deep voice.

"Half a year ago?" The old monk thought for a while, "It's true. But..."

……

……

……

At this time, it was at the foot of Mingde Temple Mountain.

A tall and strong man wearing a straw hat slowly came to the stone steps up the mountain.

He took out a dark green bamboo tube from his pocket, shook it gently, put it close to his ear, and listened carefully.

There was a faint sound of wings vibrating from the bamboo tube, and the vibration sounded three times long and two short, very regular.

The man twisted the lid of the bamboo tube, and there was a vent hole in the lid.

He leaned closer to the black hole and sniffed it.

"There is an aroma, there is one missing here."

He has been tracking the black word worms for several days, and secretly killed all the living people who had been in contact with the black word worms in the end.

It relies on the smelling insects in the bamboo tube.

The smelling worms and the black word worms are natural enemies, and they specialize in eating the black word worms. Once the black word worms are found, or even the people that the black word worms have come into contact with, they will naturally emit fragrance.

The aroma is as refreshing as sandalwood, which is unforgettable.And the closer to the target, the more intense the aroma of the smelling insects.

And the black character worm is even more difficult to deal with.Once in contact with people, if it leaves dry marks, it will take several months for the breath to dissipate.

The man has already killed three of them who had been in contact with the black character worm by this method.And disguised the body as being attacked by a beast and died.

With his martial arts, it is not difficult to do this.

The man walked relaxedly and naturally towards the stone steps.The demeanor is leisurely, as if it is no different from other pilgrims who come to worship Buddha.

He has the confidence and confidence.

At that time, Zhao Deli was a gangster, and he died after being affected by Chi Yu. The classes he could come into contact with were nothing more than ordinary people.

Even if they are a little stronger, they are just stronger low-level members of the gang.

He was the one who was sent to clean up the vicinity of this place, the one who silenced these people.

To him, this kind of people are just stronger ants, which can be easily harvested.

In fact, in the entire Feiye City, the only ones he can fear are the older generation of martial artists, or the masters of the big families in the inner city. The rest, even those small gangs like weeds, are not worth mentioning.

Wei Hezheng pulled the old monk to ask questions, and kept asking about the disappearance of the mason half a year ago.

"At that time, the mason didn't even come to the temple, and he disappeared halfway. The benefactor asked this question, but the old monk really didn't know how to answer it." The old monk wondered.

"Aren't there any survivors?" Wei He frowned.

"I didn't find out that all the stonemasons disappeared halfway, so the Buddha statues in this temple were finally completed by high-priced stonemasons from the outer city." The old monk shook his head.

Wei He inquired repeatedly for a long while, but there was no clue. He only knew that the stonemasons disappeared halfway before they arrived at Mingde Temple.

But from Mingde Temple to Feiye City, there is only less than ten miles in the middle, and passers-by often pass by.With so many masons, it is impossible to say that they are missing or disappear, and even a little trace cannot be found.

The most likely result is that there are traces, but the person who found the traces at the time was unwilling to announce it.

Wei He felt helpless.Let go of the old monk.

He walked through the temple once, and two main halls were blocked and he was not allowed to enter, while the rest were free to pass.

As the sky gradually darkened, there were fewer and fewer pilgrims, and most of them went down the mountain.

Wei He asked a few more monks, but there was still no news, so he had no choice but to leave the temple and walk down the mountain.

The setting sun has completely sunk into the horizon.

On the downhill steps of the temple, the chill on both sides was overwhelming, and the originally clear woods gradually turned into a dark and deep shady scene.

Wei He didn't notice at all, there was a faint figure behind him quietly following up slowly.

He felt a little chilly, so he speeded up and rushed down the mountain.

Suddenly, a small black insect quietly got out from the gap in the corner of his clothes, and then flapped its wings and flew away.

The man behind paused slightly and frowned.

"The fragrance has faded..." He picked up the bamboo tube and shook it gently, only to find that the fragrance had indeed faded.

"It doesn't look like the person in front." A judgment flashed in his mind.His eyes moved away from Wei He's back in front.

The man turned around and looked in the direction where the black character worm was flying away.

"Ok?"

"No, it's just me and the person in front of this place, not him, then who is it? Could it be that it's a slap in the face?"

The man raised his heart, and his eyes fell on Wei He's back again.

He already had doubts in his heart.So he quickened his pace and approached Wei He.

"Brother stay behind."

He pretended to be a pilgrim and spoke out loudly.
