This is the "Zhenjian Pavilion".

However, the Zhenjian Pavilion does not have the right to select and teach outer disciples, but only has the responsibility of governance, so it is not included in the division of "County Sword Pavilion - Fu Sword Pavilion - County Sword Pavilion".

When Song Mingting and his party arrived in front of the Zhenjian Pavilion, the pavilion master and two Jiange Pavilion officials were already there to greet them.

Seeing the six people arriving, three people rushed to greet them.

"It's really hard work for several mountain envoys to come all the way. It's my fault that we are incompetent and can't solve this problem." The person who spoke was the master of Zhenjian Pavilion.

The pavilion masters of Zhenjian Pavilion are generally served by outer sect elders who have reached the Dao Ding stage, and these outer sect elders are often from the local area and are familiar with the local people. In Guicang Sword Pavilion, although inner sect disciples and true disciples can interact with each other,

They are called brothers, but not outer disciples.

Therefore, although this outer sect elder is older than Song Mingting and others, he is not qualified to call the six Song Mingting master nephews.

Zhang Hualing did not hesitate because the other party's status was not as good as his own. His attitude was also very polite: "The master of the pavilion is very polite. I wonder what I call the master of the pavilion?"

The middle-aged pavilion master said hurriedly: "My surname is Li, and these two are the deputy pavilion masters in the pavilion. This is deputy pavilion master Zhang, who is in charge of public security, and this is deputy pavilion master Qian, who is in charge of money and food."

As Zhang Hualing followed Pavilion Master Li inside, he directly got to the point: "What exactly is going on?"

Pavilion Master Li and the other three people did not expect that he would enter the topic so quickly. They were a little unable to react for a while. When they reacted, their expressions changed and there was a look of fear on their faces.

"It's a long story, let's talk about it in the house first," Pavilion Master Li said.

He has a rich face, and the years of trivial matters and a life without worries have worn away his Taoist heart and inflated his belly little by little.

Perhaps this case was the most difficult thing he had encountered in his monastic career, so there was obvious sadness on his face.

Several people entered the room, Zhang Hualing stopped the other party from serving tea, and continued the topic: "So what exactly is going on? We are new here, so we don't know very well. The specific situation needs to be explained in detail by Pavilion Master Li.

That’s it.”

Pavilion Master Li forced a smile, and then said: "Brother Shi Yang is in charge of public security. He knows what happened better than me, so I will let Brother Shi Yang explain the specific situation to the mountain envoys."

Brother Yang, I’m sorry to trouble you.”

The last words were spoken to Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang. Obviously, Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang’s name was Shi Yang.

Kong Wuli's Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang nodded repeatedly, and then said: "Several mountain envoys, the thing is like this. Three months ago, a casual cultivator came to report the case, saying that his companion was missing, and he was neither alive nor dead.

corpse."

"We didn't pay much attention to it at first, because casual cultivators often live in the open without a fixed place, and are prone to danger. They may die during a treasure hunt, so for us, it is normal for casual cultivators to disappear. In the past,

It’s not like there are no stray cultivators missing.”

Song Mingting and others all nodded. This is indeed a fact, and it is also the current situation of most casual cultivators.

But then, there was a hint of fear on Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang's face.

"But then things became more and more wrong, because there were so many missing people, far beyond the normal situation, and all of these missing people were neither alive nor dead!"

"Mountain envoys, you think that even if you are killed by a monster, a demon cultivator, or an evil thing, there should always be a corpse, right? There can't be a corpse or even a wreckage, right? But there isn't! These people are really

It was like disappearing into thin air, leaving no trace behind.”

Speaking of this, Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang's voice could not help but tremble, and after listening to his words, even Song Mingting couldn't help but frown: This situation is indeed a bit strange.

"Not only that, at first the casual cultivators who went out disappeared for no reason, but later, even the casual cultivators in the city began to disappear. In recent days, even our people began to disappear."

"How many people have you lost?" Zhang Hualing interrupted.

"Five people are missing so far."

"How did they all disappear? Has anyone seen them?"

"Two of them disappeared while searching for missing casual cultivators, two of them disappeared in the town, and one disappeared here. One moment they were there, and the next moment they disappeared. I saw it with my own eyes

What I saw!" Xu thought of the scene at that time. When Deputy Pavilion Master Zhang said this, the look of fear on his face could not be concealed no matter how hard he tried.

"When did people disappear?" Zhang Hualing's expression did not change at all, and he continued to ask.

"This, this, they have disappeared at any time."

"But there should be a more prominent time period, right? When is the most likely time for disappearances to occur?"

"Later...at night, this situation is more likely to happen at night."

"Bring the dossier over, let us go over it for details," Zhang Hualing said at last.

Soon, someone brought the files up, and Pavilion Master Li and others withdrew, leaving the room to the six of Song Mingting.

After several people flipped through the files, Zhang Hualing said, "Do you have any ideas?"

"It's really strange to see people alive but not corpses. Generally speaking, even if a person is destroyed, there will always be some traces left. For example, being burned will leave ashes, and being bitten will leave residual limbs and pieces of flesh.

, corrosion will leave liquid behind. But like now, so many people are missing without leaving any traces, which is really unreasonable."

The person who spoke was the mild-tempered Sun Jiamu. However, although Sun Jiamu said something weird, there was no fear on his face. Not only him, but others as well.

But this is not surprising, because compared to Pavilion Master Li and others, although Sun Jiamu and others are younger, their vision and knowledge are much broader. The current strange disappearance case can scare Pavilion Master Li and others, but it is

Can't scare them.

"That's right, and among the missing people, there are even people who are one step away from reaching Zhouzhou. There shouldn't be any movement for such a person even if the Zhouzhou cultivator takes action, right?"

"Besides, the file also says that the people who disappeared in the town did not respond to the town's restrictions when they disappeared. Normally, if there is a battle, the town's restrictions should not respond, unless the missing person is in the town.

He was restrained immediately, and the one who could do this would probably be a master of the week-picking monks or even a master of the melting moon phase."

This time it was Ji Changkong who spoke. He followed Sun Jiamu's words, but at the end of the sentence he couldn't help but change his expression.

Others couldn't help but change their expressions after hearing this. If the murderer is really a master in the late stage of Star Reaching, the peak stage of Star Reaching, or even the Melting Moon stage, then they are all in danger, let alone the people in the town.

After everyone discussed it for a while, although they had many ideas, they couldn't figure it out. At this time, Song Mingting suddenly said: "Brother Hualing, what are the methods in the monastic world that can make people disappear completely, even a little bit?"
