The guards were ordered to leave, and Fang Duobing asked worriedly, "Are the doors to the backyard locked?"

"Locked, Master."

Seeing Fang Duobei's look in his eyes, He Xiaohui laughed and said, "Fang Xiaobao, it's so ridiculous to see how you look like you're facing an enemy. Don't worry, son, it's okay. Let's add up to this. There are more than 40 people, how can we still be afraid of him?"

"Mom, it doesn't take a lot of people. When you go out, you only bring two masters with you, and the rest are servants hired by the local people. The martial arts of the Lord of Huangquan Palace are unfathomable, and those people are probably vulnerable to him." Fang Duobing looked anxious.

He Xiaohui said: "Don't forget, mother has two masters here."

"Where?" Unexpectedly, she was hiding something, so Fang Duobing hurriedly asked.

But I heard He Xiaohui say: "One is you, and the other is me. What, are our Tianji Hall vegetarians? In a while, mother and son will join forces to catch this fake King of Hell and send him to see the real King of Hell."

Fang Duobing was amused by her.

"I finally laughed. I have been so sullen all night, and I'm not even handsome anymore." He Xiaohui said, "Mom, go get a quilt. I can't stand it if you ask me to sit here all night."

"Li'er, hurry up and help the hall master get it." Fang Duobing ordered Li'er.

He Xiaohui waved her hand, "No, I'll come back as soon as I go. Just keep an eye on these young women. Don't worry about your mother."

After she finished speaking, she left. When she saw the two servants still standing here, Fang Duobing immediately ordered, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and protect the hall master."

Not long after they arrived, Fang Duobing, who was waiting in the hall, heard a noise coming from outside. "Let go of the hall master, someone is coming, someone is coming quickly."

I don't know if he was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Before Fang Duobing went out, he said to the woman in the hall: "No one should leave this room."

Fang Duobing took his guards to the backyard and saw that the servant who had followed to protect He Xiaohui was knocked unconscious, and a sound of movement sounded on the roof. Fang Duobing turned his head and looked over, and saw a black shadow carrying a person and rushing across the roof, trying to escape.

"Split up and chase." After giving the order, Fang Duobing immediately used Qinggong to catch up.

But when he was chasing him, he clearly saw the man in black jumping off the roof. When he chased after him, he couldn't see him at all.

……

"The king of hell got married again, the king of hell got married again!"

Every time the King of Hell gets married, there will be noises coming from the cave in the mine, making people in Xiaoyuan City panic.

The ropes Shi Shui and others tied to Li Lianhua naturally could not trap him. Li Lianhua, who escaped from the inn, accidentally took over Fang Duobing and caught up with the man in black.

But what Li Lianhua didn't expect was that when he was about to catch the man in black, another one appeared. When they chased after him again, they found that the figures of the two men in black had disappeared.

Of course they cannot disappear into thin air.

Li Lianhua found a mine hole on the ground that had not yet been covered with hay.

"There are all mines under this small town, and most of them are actually accessible." Li Lianhua, who arrived at the bottom of the mines, frowned as she looked at the mines that "extended in all directions".

He took out the fire seal and searched for it in the mine for a while. Suddenly he heard footsteps and hurriedly blew out the fire seal and hid aside.

I thought it was the fake King of Hell, but I didn't expect it was Fang Duobing holding a lantern.

"Fang Xiaobao."

"Li Lianhua, why are you here? Have you seen anyone else?"

Li Lianhua said: "I chased the King of Hell, but there was someone who helped distract him. I exchanged palms with him, and it was Na Bi who fell into the trap."

"It is indeed Lian Quan." Fang Duobing frowned.

"The other one should be a bull-headed horse-faced one." Li Lianhua said, "But when I chased them nearby, they were all gone. You just said, who did the King of Hell capture?"

Fang Duobing said: "My mother was arrested. That man was very good at qinggong. I lost him after he gave me a false shot. But there was no sign of intrusion in my house. I was just wondering, who is he?" How did I get in, and how did I leave? Then I discovered that there was a dry well in my house, so I walked in along the dry well."

While they were talking, a group of guards rushed over.

"Master, I didn't find it."

"We don't have anyone here either."

After hearing their report, Fang Duobing gritted his teeth, "It's all my fault. I didn't expect this beast to attack my mother."

"Xiaobao, calm down. The more you are at this moment, the more calm you must be." Li Lianhua ordered the guards around him, "Let's search along the mine tunnel."

"Yes."

After the guards dispersed, Fang Duobing stopped one of them, "Huaide, go to the public gate immediately and ask them to make an announcement and ask everyone in the city, regardless of men, women, old and young, to help search every inch of the city." . As long as there are any clues, we at Tianji Villa will definitely thank you."

"Master, haven't you found Madam yet? Will something happen to Madam?" Li'er, who followed two servants, looked anxious.

Li Lianhua said: "Li'er, don't panic, your young master has already gone to the palace to ask for help."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a white stone on the ground, "Pebbles, look, there are pebbles here."

The servant went down and picked up the pebbles. After Fang Duobing took them, he looked at Li Lianhua and said, "It's just a pebble, what's so strange about it?"

"There is no underground river in the dry well, so where did the pebbles come from? Don't you think the echo here is much louder than elsewhere?" Li Lianhua asked.

Fang Duobing felt it carefully, "It seems so." As he said that, Fang Duobing picked up the lantern in his hand and started looking around. "Look, this should be the entrance to a mine, but it seems to have been blocked on purpose."

Li Lianhua nodded.

Seeing this, Fang Duobing handed the lantern to Li'er, charged up his sword and slashed open the door, revealing the mine inside.

Just as Fang Duobing was about to enter, Li Lianhua said, "Wait a minute, mines with poor air circulation may explode when exposed to open flames. I've heard of explosions several times before. It's better to be careful. You guys take cover first."

After they all hid aside, Li Lianhua threw the fire stick in his hand.

There was no explosion, and several people hurriedly walked into the mine.

Once inside, they saw that there was emerald ore in the mine.

"It turns out that the emeralds in Xiaoyuan City have not been hollowed out. There are still several places hidden. The largest one is under the White Water Garden." Li Lianhua said.

After finishing speaking, Li Lianhua looked around and found a jade bed and a table next to it, with a teapot and teacups on it.

"Look, there is a jade bed here and a teapot next to it. It seems that someone should be practicing here recently." Li Lianhua speculated.

Fang Duobing said: "This should be the Palace of the King of Hell. In the past, when the King of Hell married, he only looked for women who had not left the palace. Now he kidnapped my mother just because we bought this house. He really took great pains to protect the mines here. ”

"That's not right. Think about it, if you want to keep this house, then why does this person have to pretend to die in the fire?" Li Lianhua said: "After he died, the house will naturally fall to others, so there is no way Hiding yourself. There is no need to do this. "Is it because an enemy came and left in a hurry?"

Li Lianhua said: "Even if he wants to hide, he will not ask the King of Hell to get married."

"The word sex has a knife on its head."

Li Lianhua shook his head, "I don't think Lian Quan is such a person. Don't think too much about it now, let's go look elsewhere."

Several people began to search in the mine.

They went inside and found a skeleton.

Li'er was very surprised after seeing it, "Why is there only half of the body on the ground? Where are his legs?"

Li Lianhua held up a lantern and took a look, "Maybe he didn't have legs to begin with."

"Look, the skeleton of the corpse on the wall is complete, but the body on the ground has been cut off from the waist down. Could it be that it has a bull's head and a horse's face?" Fang Duobing couldn't help but guess.

"The bones on the corpse's chest are black. It really seems like they were poisoned by Bi Zhong's trick." Li Lianhua said, "The two of them must have suffered a lot of torture during their lifetime."

"Could it be that the Palace Master of Huangquan had a falling out with Niutou Mamian, tricked the two of them into coming here to kill them, and then brutally separated the conjoined brothers?" Fang Duobing said: "This Palace Master of Huangquan is really extremely vicious. "

"It's a bit strange."

"What's weird?" Fang Duobing asked.

Li Lianhua said: "I always feel that there is something wrong with these bones, allowing Niutou Mamian to die here, so who is the person outside who cooperates with Lian Quan?"

"Master, I feel a little dizzy." While they were talking, Li'er standing next to them said suddenly.

Fang Duobing took a sniff and said, "No, it seems poisonous here. Get out of here quickly."

Li Lianhua nodded.

Coming up from the mine, under Li Lianhua's instruction, Fang Duobing found someone to identify the rough stones brought from the mine.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out.

"This is not emerald. It is an emerald-associated ore called emerald green." The old man invited by Fang Duobing said: "The two ores you found seem to be only a millimeter different, but in fact they have different effects. Quite different. Not only is this emerald green not worth the price, but it is also highly poisonous. If someone stays near that ore for a while, it may hurt their lungs and cause them to cough up blood."

The old man said: "This stone will explode when ignited. But emeralds love to grow together with it. It is inevitable that something will happen when mining the ore. Later, everyone thought that if they encountered it, they would mark it. In this case, the locals would see it. , will stay away from it.”

Hearing what the old man said, Li Lianhua held the ore in his hand and said, "It's really not easy to tell."

"It's hard for ordinary people to tell the difference. If it's not a miner like us who has been working for decades, who can tell the difference clearly." The old man said.

Li Lianhua nodded, "Thank you very much."

The old man said goodbye and left.

After the old man left, Fang Duobing came over and said, "I don't understand, why are you wasting time here? Is this emerald or emerald green, what does it have to do with us?"

"I understand."

"What do you understand?"

Li Lianhua explained, "I understand why Lian Quan has to do some tricks like the King of Hell getting married from time to time. In fact, Lian Quan, who just arrived here, can't distinguish between the two kinds of jade. If you use jade green as emerald to practice palm skills , what do you think will happen?”

"Bi Zhongji originally had to use emeralds to get rid of the poison. By doing this, he would only lead the poison deeper and deeper into the bone marrow." Fang Duobing speculated.

Li Lianhua nodded, "I heard that there is an evil technique called Jade Girl Bridge. It can poison the girl with internal power without damaging the inner breath. For his own selfish desires, Lian Quan kept using emerald green to maintain It’s really abominable to use your own skills to introduce poison to innocent girls.”

"My mother is still in his hands. I can't wait any longer." Fang Duobing said and left.

"Fang Duobing, Hall Master He is in danger now. We have to save people first. We will wait until we save people to talk about the rest," Li Lianhua said.

Fang Duobing did not refuse, "Separately look for clues, and spread smoke as trust."

……

the next day.

Li Lianhua arrived at Zhang Suhua's tomb and wanted to see if there were any clues.

As soon as he arrived here, he saw Wang Ba Shi, the steamed bun seller, burning paper for her.

"eighty."

"Doctor Li, this is Suhua's grave." Wang Bashi said to Li Lianhua in a tearful tone.

Li Lianhua also squatted down and said, "Burn some more money for her. Don't suffer anymore when you get down there. Eighty, the whereabouts of those girls who were taken away by the King of Hell are unknown. Then where did you find Suhua?" A corpse?"

"There is a deep cave at the foot of the mountain over there. It rained heavily a while ago, and several corpses rushed out. They were all female corpses abducted by the King of Hell." Wang Ba Shi said: "I recognized Su Hua at a glance."

"How many girls are there? Where are their bodies?" Li Lianhua asked.

"No one in the family dares to take the girl abducted by the King of Hell. They are all in Yizhuang." Wang Ba Shi replied.

After Wang Baoshi finished paying homage to Suhua, Li Lianhua arrived at Yizhuang under his guidance.

All these female corpses are inside.

"I'm offended." Li Lianhua sighed and lifted the cloth covering the body.

After seeing the corpse, Li Lianhua immediately saw the palm prints on the corpse's shoulders, "These murdered girls indeed had the palm poison from the Jade Girl Bridge. Perhaps it was these poisons that kept the corpses from rotting."

Thinking of this, Li Lianhua said to Wang Ba Shi on the side: "Ba Shi, why did you say before that it was not the King of Hell who got married, but the bad guy?"

"If it is really the King of Hell, why does he only appear and disappear in Xiaoyuan City? As long as he escapes from the city, he will be safe?" Wang Baoshi asked.

Li Lianhua nodded, "You're right. I guess this person uses the mines to hide and appear. Are there underground mines all over the city?"

"Fifty to sixty percent of the houses have mines." Wang Ba Shi said: "But this underground mine has many twists and turns. I can't tell where it can lead."

Hearing his words, Li Lianhua frowned, "After all the twists and turns, we can still find where these girls are..."

"How did the King of Hell screen out these murdered women, and how did he find them accurately?" Li Lianhua thought in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Li Lianhua looked at Wang Ba Shi, "Ba Shi, do these girls have anything in common?" (End of Chapter)
