Murder

As he walked all the way, the lights were bright.The ever-burning lamps are lit everywhere, and although it is the bottom of the valley, it is not dim.

Tian Ku went down layer by layer, cracking the mechanism layer by layer, and didn't stop until the tenth floor.

The relevant volumes of Shenying Policy are indeed placed here.The tenth floor is full of things related to the imperial court. Tian Ku really wanted to stop and take a good look, but he was afraid that Shen Qing would be waiting outside impatiently, so he walked over quickly and went straight to the target.There are more than a dozen boxes of Shenying Ce's files, all of which are piled on the ground.Tian Ku took off the heavy wooden boxes one by one, sat down on the floor, and opened them one by one according to the numbers on the boxes.

If Chi Yebai hadn't concealed it, Jiezilou's information was far more complete than Yingbeishe's.Tian Ku's teacher used to be a member of the imperial court and had a very complicated network of contacts. Through his matchmaking, Jiezilou increased a lot of channels for buying news.But most of the information on the tenth floor is public, and only a small part is top secret.Shenying Strategy obviously belongs to this small group.

Tian Ku sat on the ground, flipping through three or four booklets at a time on his cross-legged lap.The brochures have been around for a few years, but because almost no one reads them, they are still brand new.

There is only one Shenying policy, which is a training program for military personnel directly under the imperial court, but there are two Shenying battalions, one is managed by the imperial court and the other is established by the king himself.

The funds needed to establish the second Condor Battalion far exceeded what King Lu himself could have.Behind this "Condor Battalion", the shadow of the current emperor appeared faintly.

At that time, the prince who was not the emperor, not even the prince, had no friendship with the King of Lu, but in the early stage of the establishment of the second Condor Battalion, the young prince transferred a batch of valuable property to the Lu King in many twists and turns. In the palace.On the day the transfer was completed, all those related to it disappeared from the world and have not been found so far.

King Lu successfully established the second Condor Battalion, and established this Condor Battalion in a hidden valley.

Unlike the Shenying Camp managed by the imperial court, the Shenying Camp directly managed by the King of Lu received all orphans without parents and no children of powerful families.

Tian Ku watched for a long time, stood up slowly, and turned on all the ever-burning lights on the tenth floor before returning to the original place and continuing to browse.He even wiped the sweat from his temples to calm himself.

There are not many students in the second Shenying Battalion, only a hundred or so.The children were all dead, in a riot that broke out in the camp.

They formed a tight organization, killed the camp defenders, and killed the rest of the children who did not join the organization. Finally, they opened the gate of the Condor Camp and returned to the world through the valley.

Something must have happened along the way.However, the information in Tian Ku's hand was vague. It seemed that the people who collected the information at that time could not explain what happened - they only knew that everyone died on the way out of the mountain.

Tian Ku suppressed the restlessness in his heart.The unrest at Condor Camp reminded him of another incident that also happened at Condor Camp.It was also organized and instigated by teenagers, but this time it was more successful than the last one.

The instigator of the previous turmoil was dead, but this time, he vaguely seemed to know who did it.Because not everyone died, at least "Wen Xuanzhou" survived.

Why did Wen Xuanzhou want to obtain information about Shenying Ce?He himself is a member of Shenying Strategy, what else does he not know?If Wen Xuanzhou really instigated the tragedy that happened in the second Shenying Battalion, how did he do it?Tian Ku frowned, thinking hard.As for the method Wen Xuanzhou used on Song Beiyan, is it the weird spell he learned from the Shenying Camp and used successfully?

Song Beiyan, who was missed by others, sneezed violently and felt cold all over.

"Hero Shen..."

"Hush!" Shen Guangming immediately scolded him, telling him to keep quiet.

The two had been looking at each other for a long time on the stone steps and the face of the person in Gu Guzhai.

At least Shen Daxia thinks it is very long.

The face was not a dead person, but an old man with a messy beard.The old man looked at the two of them with a smile, as if he had been hiding in the bushes and observing them for a long time.Shen Guangming asked aloud, but the old man didn't say anything, just laughed.

He was thin, his clothes were in a mess like his hair, his beard and eyebrows were all white, and Shen Guangming had never seen such an old man.But the old man's eyes are sharp and his movements are very strong, otherwise he would not be able to climb up the canopy of this precipitous place and hide in it.

"Baby!" The old man said suddenly, startling the two of them, "Would you like me to be your teacher?"

"Not good." Shen Guangming braved the courage of a hero, and replied sharply, "I already have a master, and he is the best master in the world!"

"I also have a master." Song Beiyan answered in a low voice after him.But he is not very good.he thought angrily.

The corners of the old man's mouth drooped, and he was very disappointed: "It's a pity, it's a pity. I have a wonderful kung fu that I want to teach you."

"If you are really strong in martial arts, many people have already lined up to worship you as a teacher, so why come to us." Shen Guangming said.

"I have apprentices." The old man said with a strange smile, "I just saw that you two have strange skeletons and are martial arts prodigies. It doesn't matter if you take two more."

Shen Guangming: "The uncle who sells traumatic medicine on the street also said that I have strange bones. Everyone can see that I have strange bones. You are nothing."

The old man got angry, frowned, pouted his mouth, and spat out a hidden weapon at the two of them.He exhaled so forcefully that Shen Guangming didn't even have time to blink his eyes, the white hidden weapon embedded into the mountain wall between him and Song Beiyan with a pop.Song Beiyan was dripping with cold sweat, all he knew was that at the critical moment, Shen Guangming grabbed his belt tightly to prevent himself from falling down the stone steps due to fright.

The two turned their heads and found that the hidden weapon was a gnawed quail leg bone.

The old man had already jumped away, and the two of them heard him laughing strangely all the way from a distance, both of them were inexplicable.

"...a master." Song Beiyan stammered, "a master who doesn't understand."

Shen Guangming's temperament came up, and seeing that tall man jumping up and down in the bone village, as if he had entered the land of no one, he was ready to move, and wanted to get closer to find out.Song Beiyan asked him if he wanted to wait for Tang Ou and others to come, Shen Guangming shook his head: "I have to go back when he comes."

He pulled a strong vine to Song Beiyan, climbed onto one himself, kicked his feet on the stone wall, and used his strength to swing towards the bone village.

As soon as his feet touched the stone beam, he immediately let go.Song Beiyan swung after him three times before landing, his palms were wet.

But the curiosity about the bone village once again overwhelmed the fear, and the two stood in front of the village and looked up.The bone village is really made of bones, but the strange thing is that it doesn't feel weird when you look closely.Perhaps it is because the climbing trees, vines, flowers and plants on the stockade are lush, blooming and bearing fruits, which is a joy, diluting the strange feeling of the stockade for no reason.

The two could only see the front of the village, and it was really difficult to get in and out, because there were no doors or windows at all.

"Could it be that the entrance is at the top?" Shen Guangming wondered, "It's also possible that the village is made in such a shape that it doesn't look like it's inhabited. Xiao Song, don't move here, I'll go up and have a look."

Song Beiyan was extremely nervous, but he didn't dare to disobey Shen Daxia, so he nodded.

It's just that Daxia Shen jumped halfway, and someone grabbed his belt from behind and pulled him back to the ground.

"Don't be reckless, how many times have you said that?" Tang Ou stood behind him with a fierce expression on his face, "You don't even know whether people can stand on it, just jump up like this, your lightness skill is so good? If you step on it and fall, Who got you up?"

"You." Shen Guangming pulled out the belt from his hand, fastened it quickly, raised his head and grinned, "I won't be afraid when you come."

It was not Gan Yue who came with Tang Ou, but Sima Feng and Chi Yebai.It turned out that the people in Jiezilou heard that they were coming to Tiansheng Valley to see the Bone Village, and they all told that the terrain here is dangerous, and people without martial arts cannot go there.When Gan Le heard it, he decided that he didn't want to come, so he called Sima Feng and Chi Yebai, and they set off with Tang Ou.

Seeing the two of them, Song Beiyan was happier than seeing Gan Lele, so he told the story of how he and Shen Guangming got here, including the strange old man.Compared with the weird old man, the real heroes like Sima Feng are obviously more interested in the bone stockade in front of them.

"Who built it?" Tang Ou jumped up first, "It's very strong, and it looks like it has been around for a certain period of time."

Shen Guangming jumped below: "I want to go up, Daxia Tang."

Tang Ou shook his head: "You take care of Xiao Song down there, I'll take a look. This village...doesn't even have an entrance?"

Chi Yebai jumped up to the second floor of the bone village. "There is an entrance, but it's not on the first floor, it's on the second floor." He pointed to the corner of the second floor and said, "The entrance is not flat, it's in the shape of an angle, and you need to step on the right place to open it."

Sima Feng wondered: "You even know this?"

"I saw... those things in the basement before." Chi Yebai glanced at Song Beiyan, "This is not an ordinary village, and the function of this village is not to house people or store things. It is an exquisite A trap used to torture opponents. But this one is much larger than the records I saw before. The door may not be on the second floor, but on the third or fourth floor..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that there was an extra person in the canopy opposite.

Song Beiyan and Shen Guangming pointed at the man and said at the same time, "Blame the old man!"

Holding a bunch of ripe fruits in his hand, the old man was surprised when he saw more than two people on the stone beam: "So many..."

Chi Yebai looked at him, also surprised: "Master!"

Several voices sounded at the same time.The disheveled Qing Yuanzi was very embarrassed when he saw his apprentice for the first time. He threw the fruit to the dolls on the stone beam, turned around and jumped on the branches again.But most of the branch had been rotten, and it was finally broken after being stepped on heavily by him this time, and it fell straight down.

Song Beiyan happened to catch the fruit thrown by Qing Yuanzi, and when he looked up, he saw a thick branch smashing down on his head.Shen Guangming, who was beside him, reacted very quickly, and immediately hugged him and rolled to the side.Tang Ou also jumped onto the stone beam at the same time, and picked up Shen Guangming who had rolled to the side.

Before the branch fell to the ground, it was already kicked by Sima Feng and fell into the Natural Valley.

"It's so dangerous!" Shen Guangming patted his chest and raised his head, "Master Chi, so that's your teacher..."

He suddenly became hoarse, and the remaining half of the words were stuck in his throat, unable to speak.

Chi Yebai who was originally standing on the bone village disappeared.
