Murder

"Isn't He Ling her first child?" Chi Yebai asked quickly, "What about the others?"

"I can't find it." The man replied, "Although Zhaomei Peak was almost gone back then, there are quite a few people in Pengyang who have contacts with Zhaomei Peak, and there are many people who work on the peak and deliver goods. But everyone said that they had never seen any children. For so many years at Wuyan Pavilion, there are only two children, Shao Jinjin and He Ling."

Chi Yebai was about to ask again, but Sima Feng said behind him: "They are all dead."

In the legend of Chishen, Chishen gave birth to five children, all of whom died unexpectedly, and the last one was strangled to death by Chishen himself.Thinking of what the midwife said, Chi Yebai felt a chill in his heart.

He has always had little emotional ups and downs, and his temperament is almost indifferent. It is all because of the terrible chaos when he was young that his parents have lingering fears, and they have taught him what he is now. He would rather be colder than get excited about mundane things.He lives in Yingbeishe, and he has seen many strange incidents in the rivers and lakes since he was a child. He ran around with Sima Feng, and he has seen many strange cases—but this one really made him feel uncomfortable. be surprised.

He has not seen the full picture of this matter yet, but the clues leaked at 01:30 have shocked him deeply.

"I see." Chi Yebai pondered for a moment, and then said again, "After all, I don't come to Rongqing often. If you are asked to investigate Wuyan Pavilion, what do you think?"

The head was taken aback, and raised his head: "Master, no."

Sima Feng also stared at Chi Yebai.He didn't expect Chi Yebai to ask about this matter.

"Wuyan Pavilion doesn't seem to be heavily guarded, but we tried to go around it many times to investigate the top of Chishen Peak, but we couldn't get around it, and we didn't succeed once." The leader said quickly, "Wuyan Pavilion is firmly guarded against Chishen Peak. Shenfeng, Yingbeishe has been rooted in Rongqing for decades, and has not gone up once. It’s not that we don’t want to go, it’s just that the danger is too great. In recent years, because Shao Jinjin’s son Shao Jisheng has repeatedly committed evil, people often go to Chishen Peak to seek justice. Wu The tea stalls that Yange set up outside the city are actually their information points. There are six tea stalls in total, located around the foot of Chishen Peak, and they strictly guard the passages leading up to Chishen Peak."

"So we went to Wuyan Pavilion, they already knew about it before we got to the bottom of the mountain." Chi Yebai whispered.

"If you want to go up to Chishen Peak quietly, there is a place where they can't set up an information point to guard it." The leader said again, "But that place is very dangerous, although there is no information point, there are still people from Wuyan Pavilion guarding it. "

"Where?"

"Do you still remember that when you came from the Yulan River, you encountered strange rocky beaches on the river, and the boats were unable to move forward, so you had to abandon the boat? There are actually more than one strange rocky beaches, and there are both upstream and downstream of Rongqing City. You guys What we pass is the strange rock beach in the downstream. The strange rock beach in the upstream is far bigger and more dangerous than that one. The boats can only pass by manual handling. The strange rock beach in the upstream happens to be on the riverside side of Chishen Peak. If you want to go from there On the side of Chishen Peak, you can only take that road. But that road is equally dangerous, not only the geography is complicated, but the people stationed there are also not simple."

"Those workers are the eyes and ears of Wuyan Pavilion?" Sima Feng finally understood.

"Yes, all of them."

"Okay, you go down." Chi Yebai said, "Don't touch Wuyan Pavilion casually, Shao Jinjin has already noticed some clues, I'm afraid you are in danger."

"We will all be careful." The head smiled, and then backed away.

Chi Yebai dusted off the dust on his clothes, turned around and looked at Sima Feng: "If Ying Beishe is going to investigate Wuyan Pavilion, it will not be the disciples."

"Don't go either," Sima Feng said.

"Don't you want to know what's on Chishen Peak?" Chi Yebai smiled, "Who else will I go to?"

Of course Sima Feng didn't want him to take risks.He knew that his and Chi Yebai's martial arts were already outstanding among their peers, but Shao Jinjin had been famous for a long time, and Wuyan Pavilion had a large population, so the risk was indeed not small.But he thought about it again, although he didn't want Chi Yebai to take risks, but there was really no one better than him.When it comes to infiltrating and investigating, he is far inferior to Chi Yebai's ability, and his memory is so good that he can draw the original things inside Wuyan Pavilion just by looking at it for the first time. Sima Feng also doesn't have such ability.

He thought about it, with some hesitation on his face.Chi Yebai looked at him silently, and got a glimpse of the answer from his hesitation.

Ying Beishe would not do such things, but he could do it for Sima Feng.As long as he disguises himself well, sneaks in and then exits alone, the possibility is still very high.It was impossible for Chi Yebai to let his disciples take risks. After much deliberation, there was indeed only one quick way.

"Don't go." Sima Feng said suddenly, "I'll think of another way."

"Aren't you afraid that the child is already dead when you figure out a way?" Chi Yebai said calmly, "If that person really kills people according to the legend of the Red God like ten years ago, then he would have to kill five children before he can die." Stop. No, killing five people may not necessarily stop. The murderer will only taste pleasure from such killings, and the pleasure will make him sink. Such a dangerous person must be arrested as soon as possible."

Sima Feng nodded: "Alright, I'll go with you."

Chi Yebai opened his mouth, hesitated for a while before answering: "That's fine."

But when Sima Feng came to look for Chi Yebai the next day, Ah Si said that he had already left.Before he left, he asked Ah Si for a map of the Yulan River waterway outside Rongqing City, and then he left the branch house alone.

The upper reaches of the Yulan River were not in a hurry, but they turned into vicious torrents at the two strange rocky beaches outside Rongqing City.

The strange rocks are rooted in the bottom of the river, and they rise out of the water, and are slammed by the river water, appearing and disappearing from time to time.Therefore, the water flow was blocked, large and small eddies constantly emerged in the rapids, and the damaged ship planks sank and floated in the eddies.

Chi Yebai hid on the shore, watching all this with great interest.

There are many caves that can only accommodate one person, and there are sparsely naked men sitting in the caves.The men were dark and muscular, and their eyes looked around, as if they were wandering.

This strange rocky beach was longer and more dangerous than the one that Sima Feng and the others passed by, so the price of carrying a boat through it rose to two taels per person.Before Chi Yebai arrived here, there happened to be a small merchant ship that rejected the price offered by these people, relying on the presence of experts on board, it insisted on breaking into the beach.The men sat silently in the cave, watching the boat being overturned by the waves and hitting the rocks in an instant.

These people are the eyes of Wuyan Pavilion.

Chi Yebai hid behind the rock, held his breath, and waited until night fell.

The surface of the river gradually darkened, and the water workers got up one after another and threw the long ropes to their partners on the other side.One person on each side pulled one end of the rope and dragged it slowly until the twelve oil lamps were pulled to the surface of the river.The long ropes crossed the pitch-black river surface, illuminating the strange rocks and water waves brightly, but the dark places became even darker.

"Have you seen it in the water?" someone yelled.

"Nothing." Someone on the other side responded, "Hurry up and light up the evil spirit incense! Don't dawdle!"

Chi Yebai walked across the bottom of the river dripping wet, and showed his head in the strange rocky beach. The sword in his hand was deeply embedded in the stone, stabilizing himself.

His head was flooded, and the voices above were heard more clearly.Many caves were lit with flames, and smoke wafted out. A young voice asked, "Why do you need incense to ward off evil spirits?"

"Prevent ghosts and evil." Someone answered him with a smile, "I heard that the lunatic died in the river and was thrashing about in it day and night. He needs someone to replace him."

Chi Yebai dived into the water again, proceeded carefully for a while, and emerged again.Every time he drilled out of the water, he was always on the dark side of the rock, undiscovered.There are still voices speaking on the mountain wall, talking about a fight that happened on the Yulan River a few years ago.Shao Jinjin and Shao Jisheng had a fight, Shao Jinjin was stabbed by Shao Jisheng, and Shao Jisheng was kicked by Shao Jinjin.

"The young master fell into the river, no one saw whether he was dead or not."

"Dead! Hey, what fell into the river, that lunatic was stabbed to death by the pavilion master's sword. From here to here, hey, just pass by with such a sword, hard and fast." Someone said excitedly, " That lunatic should be rewarded, you didn't see him like that at the time, he really didn't look like a human being, his face was covered in blood, he was scratched by himself."

"Why scratch?" The young voice asked timidly again, "Is there a ghost on the river?"

"He said that there should be some mark on his face, which was covered by human skin, and he insisted on scratching it out for others to see. There is no reason for a lunatic to say." The man paused, and said with admiration, "George He is really a man who kills relatives in righteousness."

"But now many people say that the young master is not dead." The young voice said again.

"Of course you can't say that he died. You can't say that your own father killed you, right? Even if it's a righteous killing of a relative, it's not good to pass it around..."

Chi Yebai shook his head, shaking the water out of his ears, took a deep breath, and dived into the water again.

He went out of the water several times and finally reached the foot of Chishen Peak.

This place is a little far away from the mountain wall of the water project, and there is no light here, and it is pitch black.He wiped his face in the water and looked up.Chishen Peak is very high, and Wuyan Pavilion stands tall and dark on the mountainside, with lights dimly lit up, which can illuminate the pitch-black mountain.

Chi Yebai came out of the water and used his internal energy to dry the clothes on his body.He memorized everything the water workers said just now, and couldn't help but compare it with what he heard before.

He Ling has madness.Her son is a madman.And He Erying is also a brain problem.

Chi Yebai frowned, he seemed to have figured out the relationship between these few people.

He Ling is the child of He Erying and He Sanxiao, she has the same insanity as He Erying.And Shao Jisheng is the son of He Ling, and he is also insane like He Ling.

Chi Yebai took a deep breath, suppressed his surprise, pulled out the short sword tied to his calf, and began to climb Chishen Peak.
