Mortal Bones

"Daliang... Tu Guo..."

After being stunned for a moment, Xu Taiping finally came to his senses and immediately confirmed to Huang Que with a somewhat excited expression:

"Brother Huangque, is the Daliang Kingdom you are talking about the Daliang Kingdom where my hometown Qingniu Village is located?"

Although there is no one he cares about in Qingniu Village, the girl who gave birth to him and raised him is there after all, and the graves of his parents and grandfather are all there.

Huang Que did not answer directly, but took out his spiritual mirror, gently pushed the mirror to Xu Taiping and said:

"See for yourself."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately lowered his head and looked at the spirit mirror.

Inside the spiritual mirror, he saw balls of flames falling from the sky and landing on a small mountain village surrounded by mountains and forests.

In the blink of an eye, this originally peaceful and peaceful mountain village turned into a sea of ​​fire.

For a moment, there were screams in the sea of ​​fire.

A village woman escaped from the sea of ​​​​fire with her child in her arms and plunged into the pond in the center of the village. However, even though she jumped into the water, the flames on her body did not go out.

As more and more villagers covered in flames jumped into the pond, the water in the pond was burned dry.

When the water in the pond was burned dry, a stone statue of a green bull sunk at the bottom of the pond gradually appeared.

Seeing the green bull statue, Xu Taiping, who was still holding on to a bit of luck in his heart, felt his heart sink, and murmured in a heavy tone:

"That's right, it's our Qingniu Village..."

This green cow stone statue is the origin of the name of their Qingniu Village.

Every dry season, when water is released from the pond to irrigate the farmland, the blue bull statue will emerge from the bottom of the water, and villagers will come forward to offer incense to it, hoping that it will bless a good harvest this year.

That's why when Xu Taiping saw the Qingniu stone statue, he was so sure that this was Qingniu Village.

"boom……"

At this time, as a loud noise came from the spiritual mirror, the green bull stone statue finally exploded under the burning of real fire.

And when the Qingniu stone statue was burned to ashes by real fire, almost the entire Qingniu Village was also burned to ashes, and the surrounding mountains and forests also became bare.

Viewed from a high altitude, this area looks like a desperate situation, as if no living thing has ever existed.

"Brother Huangque, have the murderers been found?"

After bowing his head in silence for a long time, Xu Taiping crossed his fingers on the table and raised his eyes to look at Huang Que.

At this moment, Xu Taiping's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Although it has been more than seventy years since he left Qingniu Village based on one year in the mountains and three years in the secular world, Qingniu Village can be regarded as the place where he was raised.

Although his second uncle's family was unkind and ungrateful when he was young, they gave him a bite of food after all. Many uncles from the neighborhood in the village helped him and his grandfather.

So how could he be calm after seeing this situation today?

"Ten of these thirteen monks have already been identified, but the identities of only three of them cannot be confirmed. From a few magic weapons, it is vaguely inferred that the three of them are from the Valley of Forgetting Worry in Juemingtian, but there is no proof."

Huang Que frowned.

After trying to calm down his mind, Xu Taiping nodded expressionlessly at first, then frowned in confusion and asked Huang Que: "Nine out of ten people in Daliang Kingdom are mortal bones, why do these people want to do this to Huang Que?" Kill all the mortal bones?"

When he said this, Xu Taiping pushed the spiritual mirror back to Huangque.

Huang Que put away the spiritual mirror, thought about it carefully and then said:

"Judging from the scenes recorded on the Moon Shadow Stone, they should be looking for a certain treasure, but we haven't caught anyone alive yet, so we can't confirm it."

Because the incident happened suddenly and the preparations of the thirteen monks were very thorough, Jiufu did not have much information at the moment.

"Searching for treasure in the earthly world?"

The more Xu Taiping listened, the more incredible it became.

"Yes, there is something weird everywhere at this time, so our Jiufu plans to invite a few elders who are proficient in hexagram deduction to come out and conduct a thorough investigation."

Huangque nodded.

"So Brother Huangque, do you want me to help catch the thirteen monks who set the fire?"

Xu Taiping roughly guessed Huang Que's intention of coming here today.

"No." Huang Que shook his head, "Ten of the thirteen people whose identities are known, and the few who have not escaped from Zhenwutian, the palace master has invited monks from all sides of Zhenwutian to jointly arrest them."

"For the few people who have escaped from Zhenwutian, the Jiufu has informed Jueming Mansion, Youyun Mansion and Chenglong Mansion to arrest them on their behalf."

"This time, because it involves a secular place, after all the governments learned about the matter, they all expressed their willingness to do their best to send people to arrest him."

"Youyuntian, now Emperor Youyun, even personally killed one of them after learning the news."

"With the cooperation of all the governments, it is only a matter of time before these ten people submit to the law."

"Only those three people related to Wangyou Valley, our Jiufu has no clue at the moment."

When he said this, Huang Que paused for a moment, then looked at Xu Taiping solemnly and continued: "So I would like to ask Taiping for your help in investigating the identities and criminal evidence of these three people."

"Any clues?" Xu Taiping asked immediately.

Although he really wanted to help, he didn't dare to agree hastily without any clues.

"Currently, we only know that these three people went on a killing spree in the palace of Daliang. Not only did they brutally kill the current leader of Daliang, they also tortured several princesses, and finally burned all the tens of thousands of people in the palace to death."

As Huang Que said this, he handed a piece of Moon Shadow Stone to Xu Taiping.

Obviously, the scene recorded in this Moon Shadow Stone is the scene where the leader of Daliang Kingdom was killed and the imperial city was burned.
