Queen's Detective

There was silence in the forest, no insects, no birds, and the towering trees covered the sky and the sun, and even the wind could not penetrate.The setting sun in the morning shines in from the densely packed gaps, and the mottled tree shadows are projected on people, and they seem to be reflected in people's hearts.

Quiet, it's really too quiet, everyone was talking just now and thought it was nothing, but now everyone stopped, the sound of talking and footsteps disappeared, it was too quiet, so quiet that I could even hear my own heartbeat can see.

"What's going on?!" Fang Zhi was surprised, and the crowd shrank automatically. Some people even put their hands on the hilts of their swords, as if they were facing an enemy.

Yan Sanbai looked up and said, "Have you heard of the Silent Forest?"

Forest of Silence is the name of a forest in Eagle Beak Ridge. Everyone has inquired about it when they came here, so they naturally know it, but...

"Isn't the Silent Forest in the inner part of Eagle Beak Ridge? It takes at least half an hour to get there, and it only takes us a stick of incense to come in!" Someone immediately retorted.

However, there was an exclamation immediately, "Is it a stick of incense? Isn't it already an hour?!"

"No, it's obviously two sticks of incense!"

"It's a stick of incense!"

Everyone is talking about it, each has their own opinions, and everyone feels that what they say is correct.It would be fine if one or two misremembered the time, but now the public says the public is right and the woman says the woman is right, it is impossible to tell who is right!

And once the time is out of order, they will not be able to deduce how far they have penetrated based on this, and they will not be able to judge their own position. Thinking of this, many people start to feel uneasy.

Fang Zhi quickly calmed people's hearts, Xiao He seemed to be thinking for himself, while Tang Qianjun from Xiling Villa was obviously much calmer, still with a cold face and serious expression.Xu Changjin frowned, looked around, and a disciple ran over behind him and asked him what to do. Xu Changjin pursed his lips and said nothing, walked to Yan Sanbai, and asked, "What do you think, Brother Yan?"

"Wait a minute." Saying that, Yan Sanbai took out the small bamboo tube at his waist, and poured out the fat.Pangpang was still sleeping, with golden wings wrapped around his chubby body, and he rolled out, followed by a few green granules that were a little bigger than sesame seeds.Round and plump, lying in Yan Sanbai's palm.

Yan Sanbai lowered his head and counted seriously, one, two, three, four.

"What is this?" Lone Ding came over curiously.Nanzhu also opened his eyes wide, looking very curious.

"Fat poop." Yan Sanbai replied.

"What? Shit?!" Lone Ding's voice couldn't help raising his voice.When the others heard it, they couldn't help but look over, all of them with strange faces.

What shit is not shit?

After seeing what Yan Sanbai was doing, everyone was speechless. What time is this? How could there be leisure to help count how many shits there are? !

"How often does it line up?" Li Yan asked suddenly.

Yan Sanbai rubbed his nose, Li Yan still understood him, he knew what he was doing without asking, "One stick of incense, two sticks. There are four sticks here, which means that about half an hour has passed."

"Is this...reliable?" Xu Changjin was puzzled, judging the time by the amount of feces, which is too...strange.

"It's not far from it." Yan Sanbai cleans up Pang Pang every day, and he has already learned the rules by heart. Unless Pang Pang is sick, there will be no mistakes.

Others praised in their hearts - this hero Yan is really different from us.

"I believe you. Instead of listening to those inappropriate judgments, it's better to trust this chubby little cutie." Xiao He, who had been watching from the sidelines, smiled and said, "Hero Yan, in your opinion, what should we do now?"

After the words fell, everyone couldn't help but focus on Yan Sanbai.It depends on whether Yan Sanbai's reputation is in vain.

Tang Qianjun, who had been silent all the time, said: "There is a mist in the Silent Forest that can confuse people's hearts, so the birds and beasts are extinct, and it makes us feel wrong about time. This can be explained. But here the sun is very good, there is no fog, so what? The ability to confuse people's hearts?"

Hearing this, everyone felt that it made sense, and all showed puzzled expressions.

However, Yan Sanbai shook his head, "The mist has always existed, but it is so thin that we can hardly see it. And because we have been walking in it for a long time, we were hit by it without knowing it. As for this place, it is indeed not a lonely place. Mielin, but now it seems that the scope of the Silent Forest is expanding, and the miasma floats out, and the further we go in, the miasma becomes thicker. Not only will we gradually lose control of time, we may even never get out This forest."

The Silent Forest is expanding? !Everyone couldn't help gasping for air. The Silent Forest was already terrifying enough. If it keeps expanding, wouldn't it be able to occupy the entire Eagle's Beak Ridge?Even... Floating outside? !

"How did you see it?" Tang Qianjun said in a deep voice.

Yan Sanbai didn't explain much, he broke a branch casually, pushed aside the grass, found a half-dead broad-leaved grass, and said: "The winter lingon grass is starting to wither."

The winter lingon grass began to wither, which proved that there was a miasma here.Although you can't see it, it does exist!

"What should we do? Can we go around?" Someone panicked.

Mo Sheng, the Qingleng Senior Sister of Baihuamen, snorted coldly, "The Forest of Silence has expanded, and do you know which direction to go around to be safe?"

Indeed, the original Silent Forest was relatively small, and it might be possible to get around if you find the right direction, but now...

Xu Changjin couldn't help looking at Yan Sanbai again, with questioning and trust in his eyes.

Yan Sanbai said: "Brother Xu, please send someone back the same way immediately, and inform the Chen family about the expansion of the Ji Mie Forest, and ask them to guard outside the Eagle Beak Ridge, just in case." After a pause, he was serious again. He asked, "Do you really want to go in?"

Hearing this, Xu Changjin nodded solemnly, "This matter is of great importance to my Qingshan Sword Sect. Even if I am destined to die inside, I must go in."

Seeing Xu Changjin's face, Yan Sanbai secretly thought that he really had something to hide, but he didn't intend to pry into other people's private affairs, so he just took care of him and said: "If Brother Xu can trust me, then no matter what I say later, please follow my advice." do it."

Xu Changjin nodded without hesitation, and after a few words of greeting, Qingshan Jianzong planned to continue walking in.Of course, Baihuamen continued to follow, Xiling Villa and Shaolin also followed, Fang Zhi of Tianhua School hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and followed.

The whole journey was silent, everyone was much more nervous than at the beginning, with their hands on the hilt of their swords, and their whole bodies were on alert.Yan Sanbai walked in the front, twirling the branches in the grass from time to time, judging the position by the degree of withering of the winter grass.

Finally, a little fog visible to the naked eye appeared ahead, and the fog became thicker and thicker, gradually covering the sunlight and lowering the temperature in the forest.

Yan Sanbai also made a new discovery in the grass - bones.There are many bones hidden in the grass, some of which are animals and people, some look new, and some are half buried in the soil.

The people behind also noticed it, and could not help but seep cold sweat on their backs—the real Forest of Silence has arrived.

There is no turning back when the bow is opened. Although I am afraid in my heart, I have no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

Suddenly, a gust of evil wind blew past, and the mist stirred in the midair. A small black dot quickly passed through the mist, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"What is that?!" Someone exclaimed.

The black dot was so fleeting that it was hard to see clearly.However, it was the only living creature that appeared here, and everyone looked up to look for it.

At this time, Yan Sanbai's calm voice came, "Don't panic, don't act rashly, keep walking."

When everyone looked, they saw Yan Sanbai and Li Yan walking forward without stopping.Li Yan waved the folding fan to wave the fog in front of him, and strolled in the courtyard, as if he was still walking in his own courtyard.Ling Ding and Nan Zhu followed behind them.

Ling Ding looked at Nan Zhu in surprise, this little man should look quite timid, so he couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid?"

Nanzhu nodded sincerely, "I'm afraid. But Master said, there are noble people on this trip, and they won't die."

Hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but glance at Yan Sanbai, Yan Sanbai was still paying attention to the surrounding scene with a focused expression.

Suddenly, another black spot flew by in the mist overhead, and then the woods returned to silence.But after a while, two black dots appeared alternately, and then quickly returned to calm.This movement made people tense, and the already gloomy woods became even more eerie.

"Gudong." Somebody swallowed with difficulty, the tense atmosphere was contagious, and only a few people could keep their faces calm.

After walking for a while, there were more and more black spots in the mist, and some even boldly passed by the person's ear, causing a tingling pain in the person's ear, as if being pricked by a needle, and the whole brain seemed to be going crazy. exploded.

The person next to him finally saw the true face of the black spot, "It's a bat!"

But the birds and beasts in the dead forest are extinct, so where did the bats come from?

And at this moment, Yan Sanbai finally stopped, with a stern expression on his face, "There's no need to go any further, we've been going around in circles all along!"

A Tianhua Sect disciple couldn't bear the oppressive atmosphere, so he refuted loudly with red eyes: "Why do you say that? We have been moving forward since just now, so don't scare me!"

"I'm not scaremongering, I marked the tree, and we are indeed back to the original point." Yan Sanbai explained gently.

But the man didn't listen at all, "You led the way, you did it on purpose!"

"Yes! Why did you do this!" Someone next to him was infected by his excitement and questioned him.

Many of the other disciples couldn't help but become suspicious, feeling a little impetuous for no reason.However, before the calm lake water boiled, two stones suddenly came through the air, hitting the back of the necks of the two men one by one, causing them to roll their eyes instantly and fall to the ground.

"Who?!" The members of the Tianhua faction thought it was an enemy attack, so nervous they pulled out their swords as a defensive gesture.After all, it is one of the four sects, and its movements are fast and neat, without any haste.

However, they were dumbfounded when they looked in the direction of the stone.

Fang Zhi couldn't hide his anger, "My lord, what do you mean!"

Ling Ding's complexion darkened, and his tiger's body shook, "Presumptuous! How dare you talk to the prince like that!"

Fang Zhi was yelled at by a little long follower, and he suddenly felt his face was dull. He pulled out his long sword with a choke, pointing at Ling Ding, "You are presumptuous! It's not your turn to teach me a lesson here!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Xiao He and Tang Qianjun couldn't help frowning, but they didn't stop them.Ku Wu put his hands together and said Amitabha Buddha.

Conflict is imminent.

Suddenly, another stone flew across the sky, and Fang Zhi sneered and smashed it with his sword, but what he didn't expect was that there was another stone after one, which hit directly between the eyebrows.

As soon as his eyes were dark, he fell directly, so defenseless.

The mouths of the people around them suddenly turned into duck eggs, Luoyang Wang's hands are black!Swipe a few times without discussion, and clap your hands after throwing away, with a very chic posture.

Ling Ding also felt surprised. Although the prince is usually unreasonable, he seems to be very unreasonable today. He was wondering when Li Yan suddenly slapped him on the head with a folding fan, "Be sober, other idiots are confused. Bewitching your mind, do you want to become an idiot too!"

Being knocked alone like this, his head suddenly came to his senses, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded to himself—according to the usual, he would never be able to say 'presumptuous!How dare you talk to the prince like that! 'This kind of shitty words.

But when you think about it carefully, it's actually quite cool.

The others were also awakened one after another, and they were afraid for a while, and they didn't even care about being called idiots.It's just that the members of the Tianhua faction are very embarrassed, and the leading brothers have all been knocked down, what should they do?

"Don't wake them up yet? Do you want me to come in person?" Li Yan raised his eyebrows, hunting in red, even if a bat hit him and passed him, he didn't panic at all.He closed the folding fan in his hand, jumped up, and hit the lightning-fast bat to the ground with a bang, his legs twitched.

Seeing this, the people of Tianhua faction didn't dare to be negligent, so they quickly woke up Fang Zhi and others.

Yan Sanbai squatted down to look at the bat, but he didn't see anything unusual, it was just slightly bigger than ordinary bats.But there must be a reason for these bats to appear here, perhaps related to the mystery of the ghost hitting the wall.

Thinking of this, Yan Sanbai made a decisive decision, "My lord, do me a favor."
