Reverend Insanity

Chapter 74: Murder in the Mist

The space of the tree house is not large, but there are many things in it, and it looks very messy at first glance.

On the floor in the center was a thick, dark-yellow blanket.

In the house against the wall, is an iron stove for burning wood, and a copper kettle is also on the stove. There was black ash in the stove, and next to it was a small pile of unburned dry wood.

Regardless of summer, the night in this mountain is still gloomy and cold. Although the iron stove is small, the fire can keep the whole tree house warm.

The tree house has two windows open, and two or three hemp ropes are wrapped around the outer edge of one window, across the tree house, and then fastened to the outer edge of the other window.

On the hemp rope were several worn-out clothes, with patches on them, obviously adult clothes, with some moisture, and they were not completely dried.

The afterglow of the setting sun is reflected in the tree house through the window.

The light in the tree house was dim, and the handles of the iron axes and hunting knives around the corners were wrapped in animal skins. There was dark red blood on the blade.

On another wall, there was a piece of bamboo paper, and a dagger was inserted in the center.

The face of a young man was drawn on the bamboo paper, and it was Fang Yuan's face!

All this shows that in the recent period, a person came to this hidden tree house and lived in seclusion. The purpose of this person, it is obvious, is Fang Yuan drawn on the bamboo paper.

A dagger stuck on the paper expresses his sinister intentions to the fullest!

Such a scene cannot be tolerated by the party concerned, Fang Yuan.

"What does this person want to do, why is he targeting me? No, maybe it's not me, but Fang Zheng." Fang Yuan's mind was violently churning.

Fang Zheng is the first-class talent, the only first-class genius in the Gu Yue clan for three years, and is the hope of the Gu Yue clan. If it can be cultivated, it will be the family banner of the next generation.

But cultivation always requires a process.

In this process, there are natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Let's not talk about natural disasters, the key is man-made disasters. As we all know, Qingmao Mountain is not only the Guyue cottage, but also Baijiazhai and Xiongjiazhai. These two forces will definitely not be happy to see that a first-class genius has been successfully cultivated in the traditional overlord Gu Yue clan.

Therefore, it is common to send assassins to assassinate.

In this world, there are few geniuses, and even fewer can grow up smoothly.

Gu Masters with first-class qualifications are not absent. Three years ago, the Gu Yue Clan appeared. In earlier times, it also appeared many times.

However, the three major cottages on Qingmao Mountain have only cultivated one of the first-class geniuses over the years, and that is Bai Ningbing of Baijiazhai, who is now a third-rank cultivation base.

This phenomenon alone is enough to explain many things.

"Is this person from Baijiazhai or Xiongjiazhai? Are we going to start killing Gu Yue Fangzheng now?" Fang Yuan frowned, staring at the portrait on the wooden wall.

"But why, on Old Man Wang's animal skin map, there is a mark of this tree house? Is Old Man Wang a secret line developed by other forces in private? No, this person is targeting me!"

Fang Yuan's eyes suddenly burst into a sharp light.

At this moment, he recalled a lot of pictures.

For the first time, next to the trap, he heard the conversation of the four young hunters—

A hunter said, "Second brother Wang, if you want me to say that you are nineteen years old, you should marry a wife and have a baby when you are so old."

But Wang Er said: "Hmph, a manly man, how can you covet such a little beauty! One day, I will walk out of this Qingmao Mountain, go out and see the world, and I will be a man!"

The second time, after doing it by himself, Wang Er was unusually calm. He bent his bow and arrow, pointing directly at Fang Yuan. The other three were already begging for mercy.

The third time was Fang Yuan's questioning.

"I ask you, is there anyone else in this old man Wang's house?"

A hunter replied, "Headhunter Wang originally had a wife,

But more than ten years ago, he was killed by a wild wolf who broke into the village. Before his mother-in-law died, he gave birth to two boys and one girl to old man Wang. But the eldest son Wang Da, who was hunting three years ago, died on the mountain. The Wang family is gone. "

"I, I remembered! In fact, Wang Laohan also has a daughter-in-law, Wang Da's wife. But after Wang Da disappeared, that mother-in-law also died in love. In that year, a chastity arch was specially sent from the cottage. But I heard that in fact, Wang Da's wife wanted to remarry, but was forced to death by Wang Laohan. Your lord, you killed Wang Laohan to eliminate violence and bring good to the people."

Another person hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes. In fact, my lord, we have been disliked by this old man Wang for a long time. Humph, what's so great, isn't it that we are better at hunting than us? Obviously they are all mortals, doing their own thing. It seems very special, he deliberately moved out of the village and came here to live. As juniors, we sometimes wanted to ask him for his experience, but he immediately drove us away and did not allow us to appear near the wooden house again!"

Wang Laohan's family moved out of the village and lived in isolation...

The eldest son, Wang Er, died on the mountain three years ago while hunting...

Wang Da's daughter-in-law wanted to remarry, but was forced to death by the old man Wang, and got a chastity memorial arch...

Old man Wang chased away all the young people who asked him for his hunting experience...

Old Man Wang was so focused on concealing the animal skin map that he didn't draw the three red circles on the bamboo paper handed to Fang Yuan...

Wang Er was young, but he was very calm when facing Gu Masters. At the same time, he does not marry a wife, and he has ambitions beyond the mortal level in his heart...

More importantly, the red circle marked on the hide map is a hidden habitat. There are clear signs of human activity here. At the same time, this person has strong malice towards Fang Yuan or Fang Zheng...

These clues, if separated, are not easy for people to detect. But once connected, it's weird!

The more Fang Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that the layers of mist shrouded in front of him became thinner and thinner.

The afterglow of the setting sun, through the window, reflected on his face, as thick as a touch of blood.

There seems to be a dead silence around, is there someone who has been peeping at him?

Suddenly, Fang Yuan's eyes lit up, his vision seemed to penetrate time, he saw the truth!

"Wang Da, he is not dead."

At this moment, his eyes radiated with brilliance!

"Not only did he not die, but by chance, he became a Demonic Path Gu Master!"

It's not that mortals don't have the aptitude for cultivation, but the family system has always tightly controlled the cultivation methods of Gu Masters.

But things in the world are never absolute.

There are also examples of mortals who have cultivated into Gu Masters, such as accidentally encountering Hope Gu in the wild and opening an empty aperture. For example, inheriting a certain power inheritance, or receiving a private teaching from a family member, etc.

But such Gu Masters have never been tolerated by the clan, and at most they can only become thugs on the periphery of the clan. As a result, they were not reconciled, and they became Gu Masters who came and went alone. The cultivation conditions were extremely difficult. Over time, in order to compete for resources, they had to burn, kill, and loot, and they entered the devil path.

"Because of some kind of chance, the most likely thing is to get a legacy on a certain Gu Master's corpse. Wang Da became a Gu Master three years ago. No one has seen his body at all. After Wang Laohan's family knew about this, they moved out of the village and lived in isolation at the risk of being attacked by wild animals, in order to continue to cover up the truth."

"But there were some disagreements. Wang Da's wife disagreed, maybe she wanted to report it to Gu Yue Shanzhai. The Wang family had to kill the wife and deliberately release some rumors that seemed to be true or false. Death, etc., to cover up the truth under these gossips."

"Wang Da will go home and live every once in a while. Old man Wang drives away those young people who come to ask for advice. After Wang Er and his elder brother Wang Da got along, the fear of Gu Master gradually disappeared, and he naturally gave birth to himself. I want to become a Gu Master too, and go out with great ambitions!"

"Because he was worried that Wang Da's deeds would be leaked, Wang Er did not take the liberty of marrying a wife at such a young age. Wang Da could not always live at home, so Old Man Wang drew three red circles on the animal skin map. These three This place should be such a secret residence. The three caves of the cunning rabbit, Wang Da lives in these residences in turn, living in the gap between the forces of the three major cottages."

The meaning of these three red circles is finally clear at this moment!

Red often represents eye-catching and important. For Old Man Wang, this is the residence of his eldest son. Therefore, Fang Yuan asked Old Man Wang to draw a map, but he did not draw the three red circles on the bamboo paper, in order to protect his eldest son. I also drew less red crosses, wanting to avenge the murder of my son.

"Maybe at a certain time every year, Wang Da has to go home and live for a period of time. After he came back, he saw that his family members were dead. After secretly inquiring, he found me, so my portrait was nailed with a dagger on the wall, just for the sake of Avenge me!"

Based on his previous life experience, Fang Yuan can almost be sure that this is the truth.

If other forces want to assassinate Fangzheng, they can be more secretive. There is no need to develop a mortal dark line like Wang Laohan. After all, Old Man Wang lived at the foot of the mountain, not in the Gu Yue cottage.

"I never imagined that I would provoke a demonic killer for a map of animal skins. Things in this world are really amazing." Fang Yuan couldn't help sneering.

He killed Wang Er first, then the old man Wang and the sister of the Wang family, in order to get the animal skin map more directly. Wang Laohan is the number one hunter in the nearby village, and his hide map is of course the most valuable.

At that time, I thought: Three mortal lives are nothing, what's the big deal, just kill it if you kill it.

In this world, everyone has the right to live, and everyone can die.

Now I didn't expect that a Demonic Path Gu Master would pop up!

In this regard, Fang Yuan did not have the slightest regret, but felt fortunate.

If he was merciful at that time and wanted to obtain the animal skin map of the Wang family, Wang Er, Wang Laohan, and Wang family sisters would all be huge obstacles. In order to protect Wang Da's secret, they would never take out the genuine product.

Wang Er's combat power is already capable of killing ordinary first-rank high-level Gu Masters. The old man Wang was even older and hotter, and if he really fought, the threat would be even greater than Wang Er.

Even if he got the genuine product, Old Man Wang told Wang Da the details, and Wang Dachang immediately learned the accurate information of Fang Yuan. No matter how he handles it, he is in the dark, Fang Yuan is in the light, and the initiative is firmly in his hands.

"Fortunately, I killed myself as soon as I started! No matter what, I have always been in control of the situation. In this way, even if I don't get the real thing in the end, I have nothing to lose, and I can rob other hunters. And I killed it neatly. The old man Wang and that girl made this Wang Da spend time collecting his own information. Needless to say, the two young hunters who survived must have been killed by him." Fang Yuan knew it.

There are only a few insiders, Wang Da will not do anything to Jiang He, and once Jiang He dies, the clan will send people to investigate. And if the two hunters disappeared on the mountain, it would be easy to operate. Jiang He would not expose this kind of thing for the sake of the clan's evaluation of himself, but would cover it up for Wang Da.
