Fan Xiaodao said as he walked: "As soon as we found out that the prince and Niu Dafu were missing, we immediately sealed off the scene. We subconsciously thought that someone had kidnapped them, but have you ever thought that just like the three immortals returning to the cave, it was actually just a cover-up. They were then

, and didn’t leave Dingguo Temple at all!”

Zhao Xingshen thought so.

The divine fortune teller asked from behind, "Fan Captou, how do you calculate my money?"

Fan Xiaodao said, "You didn't say anything. No matter how much you charge, if you really want it, go to the six-door prison to find Li Beihai!"

The two came to Dingguo Temple again.

Since this was the place where the incident occurred, it had been taken over by the imperial army. The temple was heavily guarded and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Fortunately, the other party knew the two of them and let them go into the courtyard. The previous platform was still intact and had not been demolished.

The two jumped onto the stage and came to the hole surrounded by the hollow iron plates under the stage where they had fallen and disappeared, and carefully inspected it. Suddenly, Zhao Xing saw that one of the four iron plates seemed to be loose.

, he pushed hard suddenly, and the iron plate actually moved.

Behind the iron plate, there is actually a hidden compartment!

This discovery greatly excited the two of them.

Pushing open the secret compartment, there is a one-foot-square space, just next to the previously designed baffle, separated only by an iron plate. However, now, Zhu Yan and Niu Dafu are not in the secret compartment.

On the ground, there is a pot of iron arrows and a bow.

It was exactly the prop that Niu Dafu was carrying earlier.

Fan Xiaodao analyzed, "Before the ceremony started, someone was hiding in it. After the two fell down, they were stunned with drugs. When we found out, both of them were hidden in the secret compartment, but we didn't

Thinking that someone had kidnapped them, we blocked the surrounding streets and searched Dingguo Temple, but we didn't expect to find out what mechanism was under the stage! The person who could come up with this plan is indeed extraordinary."

Zhao Xing was a little confused, "After that, Dingguo Temple and its surroundings were all sealed off, and there were Forbidden Army guards everywhere. Two people weighed more than 300 kilograms. How did they transport it out?"

Fan Xiaodao shook his head, "This is what confuses me. The Forbidden Army has already surrounded this place tightly. Even if there are accomplices, it is absolutely impossible to take them away."

Suddenly, they discovered that there were some strange symbols engraved on the iron plate, some of which looked like ghostly symbols drawn by Taoist priests, and some of which looked like earthworm inscriptions. The two of them stared at it for a moment, and suddenly felt that the true energy in their bodies was being pulled, and they could hardly control it.

I feel dizzy and dizzy.

Zhao Xing was shocked. This was a sign that he had gone crazy. Fortunately, he was a lay disciple of Buddhism. He concentrated his mind and shouted, "Photo!"

Fan Xiaodao woke up suddenly, but never looked at the symbols again. He was still frightened and asked: "What is this, so powerful?"

Zhao Xingdao said, "It should be some kind of formation. It seems that the disappearance of the prince and the rich man should be related to these ghost talismans. We only have one night, where can we find the answer?"

Colonel Liu Qi heard that the two returned to Dingguo Temple and rushed over. When they saw him limping, Fan Xiaodao asked, "Liu Lieutenant, what's going on?"

Liu Qi waved his hand and said, "I've been hit for thirty times, so it's not a problem. Why, did you find anything?"

Liu Qi is the captain of the imperial army and is responsible for the security of the prince when he travels. If such a big accident happened this time, punishment will definitely be inevitable. He is lucky to be alive. If there is something wrong with the prince, he will probably be buried with him.

Fan Xiaodao pointed to the hidden grid and said about the strange symbols on the iron plate.

Liu Qi was a military commander, but he was an outsider in Kung Fu. He stared at the symbols for a long time and said, "Some of them look like naughty children's graffiti, and they seem to be carved on them with internal force. They seem disordered, but a little weird.

"

Fan Xiaodao said: "These things were made in the blacksmith Liu's shop. I went to him today to get a clue. Now that I have discovered these things, I absolutely don't believe him if he is not involved."

Liu Qi ordered people to go to the blacksmith shop to arrest blacksmith Liu and ask him for answers.

This matter concerns the prince, and no one dares to neglect it.

Soon, a subordinate came to report, "Sir, blacksmith Liu is dead."

Just got a little clue, the person involved is actually dead? Liu Qi was worried, "How did he die?"

The man hesitated and said in a panic, "We don't know either. He was sitting in the shop and died. The people who were traveling with him checked the body, and as soon as they touched it, the whole body collapsed into a heap, with all the bones broken.

His internal organs were all broken, but strangely, there was no external injury on his body."

"How can this be?"

"We asked the blacksmith's apprentices, and they said that in the afternoon, Blacksmith Liu dismissed them early, and there was nothing unusual at that time."

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Is the scene still there?"

The subordinate nodded, "The death situation is too strange, so we didn't dare to move."

"Let's go there!"

At this time, a voice came, "No need to go, I killed the person."

The three of them followed the call and Huang Youcai stood in the courtyard with a solemn face.

Liu Qi was shocked. Dingguo Temple had already been heavily guarded by troops. How did the seemingly thin rich man in front of him sneak in? He couldn't help but hold the sword in his hand, and said with a vigilant face, "Who are you?"

"Master Huang!"

Seeing Liu Qi, he was about to draw his sword. Fan Xiaodao explained, "This is the father of Niu Catcher!" Then he said to Huang Youcai, "Why are you here?"

Huang Youcai said: "My son has been kidnapped, so I can't come?"

Because of Niu Dafu's relationship, Fan Xiaodao and Huang Youcai met several times. They used to look like amiable old men, but today they have a murderous look on their bodies and their eyes have become sharp.

Liu Qi said: "Did you kill blacksmith Liu?"

Huang Youcai said: "Not bad."

Liu Qi, as a captain of the imperial army, was a middle-aged official in the capital. When he saw Huang Youcai, a commoner, speaking in such a disrespectful tone, with a look of anger on his face, he said: "Did you know that this person is the key to solving the case? You kill him."

Killing him will ruin our affairs?"

Huang Youcai said: "What about you? Even if we wait for another ten years, we still won't be able to solve the case."

He slowly came to the front of the hidden grid, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the runes on the hidden grid. After a long time, he sneered, "It has been twenty years, but my methods have not improved at all."

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Does Mr. Huang know this ghost charm?"

Huang Youcai said: "Of course I know him. Not only do I know him, I also know the owner of this thing."

Liu Qi saw this and asked urgently, "Do you know where the prince is now?"

Huang Youcai pointed to the designated national temple, "It's right here!"

Liu Qi's face darkened, "Our people searched Dingguo Temple up and down more than a dozen times. Even the ant holes on the ground were eager to dig out and have a look. Not to mention the prince, not even a hair of the prince was found.

, don’t talk nonsense here.”

Huang Youcai ignored him and asked Fan Xiaodao, "Did the rich man and the prince disappear out of thin air?"

Fan Xiaodao nodded.

Huang Youcai said, "That's it."

Liu Qi said, "Some kind of deception must have been used. How could a living person disappear out of thin air?"

Huang Youcai said coldly: "Dingzhou City disappeared out of thin air overnight?"

Liu Qi's conclusion.

The disappearance of Dingzhou was not a secret. Although it was not recorded in the official history, some unofficial histories, notebooks and rumors had been handed down, making it a difficult mystery at the time.

Fan Xiaodao asked, "Master Huang, please stop showing off."

Huang Youcai then said: "The rich man is here, but he is not here either."

He saw a water tank for setting fire next to him, picked up a stone and threw it in, causing a splash of water. "The world is just like this tank of water. Most people are in this water."

Dust, the world in our eyes, is only limited to this water tank. However, there is a power in the world, just like this stone. The water droplets it splashes can temporarily escape from the water tank and form an independent space, which is rich and harmonious.

The prince has just arrived in such a space."

When Zhao Xing heard this, he looked thoughtful and asked, "Does the legend of Suolongjing really exist?"

Huang Youcai nodded, "Although it is a fabrication, it is indeed true."

According to legend, two hundred years ago, after the coming of heaven, Emperor Lizong rebuilt the capital. At that time, the world was in ruins, and an evil dragon was causing harm to the world, spreading plague, and the whole world was in chaos. Emperor Lizong at that time, with a cross-cutting knife,

, fought against the evil dragon, and finally subdued the evil dragon and suppressed it in Suolongjing. Later, Dingguo Temple was built on it, and the story of Suolongjing was passed down.

Stories are stories, legends are legends.

However, historical records indicate that there was indeed a great plague in the capital that year, killing tens of thousands of people.

Huang Youcai added, "Twenty years ago, I made a vow that I would never enter the world again. I would be a rich man and live a normal life. However, some people are always restless and have to make some trouble. That's not the case.

It’s okay, but you should never, never should, involve a rich man in this.”

Fan Xiaodao was secretly alarmed. This Mr. Huang looked harmless. From his tone and what he said just now, it seemed that he had been a member of the martial arts world before. It sounded like his rank was not low.

Who are the "you" in his mouth?

Fan Xiaodao looked around, and there was no one else except the Forbidden Army in the distance.

Huang Youcai added, "Back then, there was civil strife in the Divine Religion. The Illuminati and the Netherworld cultists were incompatible with each other and were at odds with each other. In the end, those so-called 'decent people' took advantage of the situation and caused the Divine Religion to fall apart. As a protector, I failed to stop it in time. Is there something wrong with that?

It is my responsibility, but you are not strong enough, but it is an indisputable fact. Now you are unwilling to do it, and you are back again. I don’t know what you want to do, and I am not interested in knowing. As long as you return the rich, I will not do anything with you.

I don’t care. I don’t care about your nonsense.”

The voice was not loud, as if he was talking to himself or to others.

Liu Qi was intimidated by Huang Youcai's aura and asked Fan Xiaodao in a low voice, "Is this person a lunatic?"
