Xiao Wang pointed at the ground.
"Your Majesty, the sound came from below."
Several people searched for a long time but couldn't find the mechanism.
Nangong Jiu simply lay on the ground and listened for a while, then knocked on it with his hand, stood up and slapped it down.
With a loud "boom", a big hole was created on the ground.
The occasional crying sound came from the depths of the cave.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Jiu hurriedly took out the night-shining pearl from his small pocket and went down into the cave. He saw two children and a woman hugging each other in fear in a dark passage...
"Don't be afraid, we are here to save you." Nangong Jiu looked at the few people.
The woman looked at Nangong Jiu, then at Xiao Wang Xiaoxing: "Who are you?"
"We saw a fire here and came to put it out and save people."
Seeing that Nangong Jiu was still a child, the woman and her two children slowly relaxed their guard.
The two children stopped sobbing and burst into tears.
The woman embraced them and said, "Don't cry, we are saved."
Nangong Jiu said to the woman, "Aunt, let's go out first. It's too dark here. It's not good to stay here for a long time."
When they returned to the ground, Nangong Jiu asked doubtfully, "Aunt, is this house yours?"
"It's my house."
"Then why are you in the secret passage?"
"When it was almost dawn, those people rushed into my house. My parents were in a panic and hid us in a secret passage."
Nangong Jiu frowned: "Did you see those people?"
The woman nodded. "I saw them through the crack in the door as they rushed in."
"Do you know them?"
The woman shook her head, but her eyes were evasive: "No, I don't know him!"
know!
Of course I know her!!
I can recognize those damned beasts even if they were burned to ashes!!!
Nangong Jiu listened to what was in her heart.
Know each other?
And it’s very familiar!
The woman's eyes searched everywhere: "Excuse me, where are my parents?"
Nangong Jiu pointed outside: "He's lying outside."
The woman rushed out like crazy, and when she saw the old couple's tragic death, she collapsed instantly.
"Dad, Mom, I'm an unfilial daughter. I've hurt you all. I shouldn't have come back. I shouldn't have come back. Those beasts didn't even let you go..."
After a lot of crying, she revealed a lot.
Nangong Jiu narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman.
The woman was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old and had a pretty face.
This disaster was obviously related to the woman.
Nangong Jiu waited until she had almost finished crying before speaking.
"That group killed 76 villagers and injured 32. Almost all the houses on the street were burned down, and more than 30 families were destroyed.
You must be involved in this disaster. You'd better tell us what you know and avenge the victims.
Besides, you would feel guilty if you kept it a secret, right?"
The woman looked at the little person in amazement.
"You, you are so young, how do you know so much?"
"I am Princess Dingguo. I have a spirit by my side. I think you have heard about it."
The woman was so frightened that she fell to her knees.
"I pay my respects to the princess and ask the gods to see that I am innocent!"
"Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"
The woman hesitated again and again, then looked at her two children who were looking at her eagerly.
Then he said, "I am Qin Yulan, twenty-four years old this year, the only daughter in my family. Eight years ago, I went to the Peach Blossom Festival in the western suburbs with my sisters, but I didn't want to be separated by the crowd.
I noticed that the people around me were a little strange, so I wanted to squeeze out, but somehow I lost consciousness and when I woke up I found myself in a completely unfamiliar place.
There were about ten women of similar age imprisoned with me. When I asked them, I found out that they were all captured from the Peach Blossom Party.
From that day on, we lived a life worse than death. Some sisters could not bear the humiliation and committed suicide, while others were tortured to death.
I thought about my elderly parents at home, and I endured the humiliation to give birth to these two children. Later, they asked me to do some cleaning and cooking work.
I planned for several years and finally took the opportunity of their gathering at the headquarters before the New Year to escape. After going through a lot of hardships, I finally returned here.
In the first few months, we were very cautious, afraid that they would come looking for us, but as time went on, we relaxed our vigilance.
My parents dug the secret passage day and night, saying that it might save our lives one day.
Unexpectedly, they actually came.
When it was almost dawn, a group of people broke in. When I saw them through the crack in the door, I knew it was over.
Before they rushed in, my parents activated the mechanism and hid us in a secret passage. Maybe the fire burned out the mechanism, so we could hear the noise outside but couldn't get out.
In a dark, poorly ventilated passage, the child was frightened and kept crying, and only then did you find us and rescue us."
Nangong Jiuzhi frowned and asked, "Who are they? Where do they live?"
"They are from the Tianmen Sect. They used to be unknown, but they have gradually become famous in recent years due to their ruthlessness. I guess many people have heard of them.
I only know about the branch altar, which is located in the heart of Panlong Mountain at the junction of Dongling and Beiyue."
Tianmen Sect?
I seem to have heard it somewhere!
"Panlong Mountain?"
"Yes, the mountains there are high and the forests are dense, and the population is sparse. It's hard for someone who is not familiar with it to find it."
"Can you draw?"
“I can draw some.”
"Then please help us draw a map of the Tianmen Sect's location. They are causing trouble everywhere. It's time to eradicate them."
Qin Yulan's eyes suddenly lit up with hope: "Princess, if we can eradicate them, we will truly be ridding the people of this evil.
You don’t know that they often kidnap teenage girls. Those girls don’t live long and will soon turn into mummies and be thrown under the cliff in the back mountain.
I saw it once, where bones piled up like mountains, it was a horrible sight.
Later, I overheard them chatting. It seemed like they were practicing some kind of kung fu, relying on absorbing the essence of young girls to increase their strength.
By the way, they often mentioned the Longkong Mountains before the New Year."
Nangong Jiu clenched her hands tightly, gritted her teeth, took out the paper from her small pocket, and picked up a piece of charcoal from the house.
He handed it to Qin Yulan and said, "Draw it. We will definitely avenge the innocent people who were harmed and eradicate this cancer!"
Qin Yulan took it and drew the location of the Tianmen Sect branch altar.
"Princess, they came here to look for us mother and son. They won't give up until they find us. Please save me, Princess."
Nangong Jiu nodded: "Don't worry, wait a minute, someone will come to settle you! No matter how rampant they are, they dare not openly challenge the government.
Once we eradicate them, you and your son can live in peace."
"Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess..."
Nangong Jiu led Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing to leave.
After walking a few steps, he felt uneasy: "Xiao Wang, go call some officers..."
