"Damn it, the guy who attacked us is very skilled in martial arts. We are no match for him." The injured man was quite decisive. He immediately asked his fellow apprentices to carry him away from here.
Seeing the enemy retreat, the disciples of Hongyan Villa immediately breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards Qin Yuesheng.
Although they couldn't see clearly whether Qin Yuesheng had thrown those hidden weapons, since he was the only one they could see here, it was most likely him who did it.
For saving my life, I should naturally express my gratitude.
"Young man, thanks to your help today, several of us brothers were able to escape this disaster. My name is Hong Ping from Hongyan Villa. May I ask your name, young man?"
Qin Yuesheng sat on the rock and said calmly, "You're welcome. I've heard of your Hongyan Villa. You have a good reputation in the martial arts world. Why would that group of people hunt you down?"
Hong Ping gritted his teeth and said angrily, "That group of people are from the Taicang Sect. Every disciple in the sect is domineering and arrogant, and specializes in all kinds of petty thefts. This time, my fellow apprentices and I were escorting a mentor and benefactor back to his hometown, but we didn't expect to be spotted by these villains. They wanted to rob us of our money. We were so angry that we fought with them, and the result was..."
Qin Yuesheng understood and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he said, "Now that the group has left, everyone should hurry up and send our benefactor home. I have something else to do, so I won't say any more."
"Young man, could you please tell me your identities? I will definitely repay you in the future."
"It's just a small favor, no need to be like this." Qin Yuesheng turned around and was about to leave.
"Young man, do you want to enter this valley?" Hong Ping suddenly asked.
Qin Yuesheng frowned in displeasure.
"Young man, please don't blame me for talking too much. This valley is extremely ominous. In the past six months, many people who wanted to go into the mountains to chop wood have died. As a result, no woodcutter dares to come here to cut wood anymore." Hong Ping said hurriedly.
"Unknown?" Qin Yuesheng didn't expect that this valley had such a name, and he couldn't help but become more interested in it.
There are strange things everywhere in Antong County, and the valley it is attached to is also very problematic. If you want to explore the secrets, there is no reason not to go in and take a look. Maybe those Seven Star Supervisor officials have also been here.
"Thank you for the reminder." Qin Yuesheng clasped his fists and then disappeared from the spot in an instant.
He was too fast and it was impossible to catch him without sufficient eyesight. The disciples of Hongyan Villa thought that Qin Yuesheng disappeared in front of them in the blink of an eye. They couldn't help but admire him in their hearts. It seemed that they had indeed encountered a master this time.
"Senior Brother Hong, let's escort them away first." Someone said.
Hong Ping nodded, and the group quickly left the place, fearing that the people from Taicang Sect would catch up with them again.
…
The valley was full of plants, and the trees growing on the rock walls above were so huge that they blocked a lot of sunlight, making the entire valley seem not very bright.
Qin Yuesheng held the Demonic Evil Blade and the Dragon-Slaying Sword to clear the way. The plants that had grown to the point where they could no longer move forward were immediately chopped into pieces by Qin Yuesheng, clearing a small path.
“Huh!”
Suddenly, a piece of cloth hanging on a tree branch caught Qin Yuesheng's attention. The cloth was of high quality and it was obvious that ordinary people could not afford it. Qin Yuesheng was familiar with it because the two corpses of Seven Star Supervisor officials found at the Wujiang Ferry were also wearing official uniforms made of this kind of cloth.
"Sure enough, they have been here." Qin Yuesheng was overjoyed. In this way, he got a new clue.
After taking off the piece of cloth, Qin Yuesheng continued to move deeper into the valley.
The interior of the valley was gourd-shaped, and deep inside was a basin with only one entrance and exit. Qin Yuesheng walked out of a "curtain" hung by vines, and saw a pile of graves and tombstones instantly come into view.
They are densely packed and everywhere, just like a mass grave.
Here, grave mounds are piled up on top of each other, and tombstones are covered on top of each other. There are so many of them that it is impossible to tell how many graves there are.
When Qin Yuesheng walked in, he saw that every tombstone had "Tomb of So-and-so" written on it.
He looked all the way and suddenly stopped in front of a tombstone, his face full of disbelief.
The inscription on this stele reads, Tomb of Ning Houbo.
Judging from the carvings on the stele, it has been there for some time.
"How could someone build a tomb and erect a monument for the county magistrate here?" Qin Yuesheng thought about it for a moment, and immediately started digging with the Demonic Evil Blade without caring about any taboos. He soon dug to the bottom of the pit and revealed a wooden coffin.
Click!
With a slap of his palm, the wooden pins nailed to the wooden coffin could not withstand Qin Yuesheng's palm force at all, and broke instantly, causing the coffin lid to fly sideways and fall to the ground next to it.
Looking down into the coffin, he saw a corpse lying in the coffin, its body mostly burned to ashes. Judging from its appearance, it was none other than Earl Ning Hou himself!
"How is this possible!" Qin Yuesheng was shocked.
Ning Houbo had just seen this person yesterday, so who was this person lying in the coffin now?
There are no signs of new soil being turned over on this grave, which shows that just like the tombstone, it has been buried for quite some time.
Qin Yuesheng immediately activated the Yellow Spring Eye, causing yellow gas to slowly swirl in his eyes. The corpse of Ning Houbo in the coffin immediately began to tremble, as if it had been electrocuted.
Not long after, Ning Houbo struggled to get up from the coffin, his whole body twitching uncontrollably, and he slowly said:
"Ah! Someone help me! There's a fire! There's a fire! I'm on fire! Someone give me some water, come quickly..."
Hiss hiss hiss!
Ning Houbo's body shook, and he immediately turned into a large amount of ashes and dissipated on the spot.
"There is not much information left by this person, but what is clear is that his residence must have caught fire before he died, and he himself could not prevent it." Qin Yuesheng said in his heart.
This Ning Hou Bo died in the fire, so what about the Ning Hou Bo in the government office? Could it be that someone was deliberately impersonating him?
Qin Yuesheng quickly dug a few more graves and used the Yellow Spring Eye to activate the people buried inside. Coincidentally, the words uttered by every deceased person were words like "fire" and "put out the fire quickly".
In other words, these people were exactly the same and all died in a fire.
"A big fire..." Qin Yuesheng pondered.
