call!

call!

call!!

On the streets of Rongye County in the middle of the night, a figure was running hurriedly.

He turned his head and looked back from time to time, as if he was afraid that someone was following behind him.

Bang!!

Suddenly a muffled sound came from far away.

The figure trembled and hurriedly rolled to the left, hiding behind a huge garbage truck.

The stinking garbage water soaked his trouser legs under his feet, but he did not dare to move.

At this moment, he recalled in his mind what the teacher said to him before.

"Don't continue the investigation. If you continue like this, something will happen."

"But teacher, isn't the purpose of our course just to get to the bottom of things? Why do you want to give up when we are so close to solving the mystery at this time?" the young scribe asked in confusion.

"Some things are destined not to be known..." The teacher hesitated but hesitated.

"But today's imperial court is so powerful, is there any force that dares to jump out and pretend to be a ghost?" the scribe said seriously.

"Wuye...you..."

"Teacher, there's no need to say more. I'm just investigating and translating the literature, and everything will be fine. Don't worry.

Besides, my Xiong family is a wealthy local family, and my eldest brother and second brother both hold important positions, who dares to jump out and make irresponsible remarks?"

The memory stops abruptly here.

The figure leaned against the cold and rough wall, tears streaming down silently.

Suddenly a figure walked up to him.

The man was wearing an official uniform, with an official sword hanging on his waist, and a waist badge with the word "general" engraved on it.

"My dear nephew, I have told you before, stop checking...Why don't you listen?"

The person coming was none other than Zhang Xingyue, the chief arrest officer of Rongye County.

He gently pulled out his official sword.

"Hand over all your notes, destroy them, and stay at home honestly from now on, and don't touch these things anymore. Wouldn't it be great to get married, have children, and live and work in peace and contentment?"

"Zhang...Uncle Zhang..." Xiong Wuye, who was leaning on the garbage truck, raised his head.

"Don't lie to me... Can I go back now?"

His face was filled with tears and runny nose. But there was still a trace of hope in his eyes, hoping that the other party would deny him.

"You...had known why you would have done this today..." Zhang Xingyue shook his head. "Hand over all your notes and don't check them anymore. If this continues, what will happen to your family? Your parents, brother, they will all be implicated by you.

....”

"...I...I don't dare anymore...I really...I really don't dare anymore..." Xiong Wuye slowly stood up.

"Quickly take out all the hidden notes and destroy them. Everything will be fine after that." Zhang Xingyue comforted her.

"Okay, I'll listen to your uncle Zhang. My notes are here..." Xiong Wuye was about to say.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the side and stood in front of him.

"Stop talking and run away!!"

is teacher!!

Xiong Wuye was shocked and recognized the voice.

"teacher!?"

"Run away! He wants to silence him!!"

In an instant, Zhang Xingyue drew his sword and slashed forward, and the two of them fought fiercely.

Zhang Xingyue is obviously much stronger. As the chief arrester of the entire Rongye County, his strength has been proven in battles one after another.

"You can't escape this matter. Anyone who dares to investigate will die!" Zhang Xingyue looked sinister, and the sword light continued to accelerate.

puff!

In an instant, he slashed the teacher's chest with a knife.

Blood spattered and turned into dots of red plums on the wall.

"Let's go!!" The teacher turned around and yelled.

Xiong Wuye's vision blurred with tears, and he turned around and ran away.

For some special reason, he had practiced some body skills, and now he ran away with all his strength, and soon disappeared into the night.

Not long after, a shrill scream came from behind.

He heard it, it was the teacher's last voice.

The teacher Du Tao has no children and almost treats him as his own son, but now... now...!!

Xiong Wuye recalled Zhang Xingyue's words in his mind.

'Whoever dares to investigate will die!'

The teacher’s persuasion still echoes in my heart.

He was so confused that he didn't know where to go or where to be safe. He only knew how to escape from the city and rush into the dark woods.

The originally dangerous night forest now seemed like the safest place of protection.

'Perhaps, I shouldn't have investigated those statues in the first place...I shouldn't have inquired about that information...'

'If I hadn't studied the true purpose of the statue through foreign ancient books... maybe everything... nothing would have happened.'

He simply could not have imagined that something abnormal would happen to the statue the moment it was fully assembled.

Also, it was obvious that he was assembling it in the secret room of his room, how did the people outside know about it?

He didn't know...why all this turned out like this...

Zhang Rongfang carried the mysterious woman out of the tomb and broke her wrist in a nearby woodland.

Then he found a tree hole and threw the woman in, leaving only her head exposed.

He unfolded the cloth and read it again.

Well, I'm sure I really can't understand it.

'It seems we can only wait until this woman wakes up.'

He rested quietly, meditated, and waited.

Gu Jin

About half an hour later, the woman slowly opened her eyes.

The strange thing is that she didn't panic or struggle. She just tried her hands and found that the pain was unbearable. She knew that her hands were broken, so she didn't move.

"Who are you?" She looked at Zhang Rongfang, whose face was covered, and asked in a deep voice.

"people."

Zhang Rongfang said.

"Okay, I'm stupid. You won't answer my real name even if you think about it." The woman said calmly, "My name is Dai Huanxi, and I am responsible for guarding this tomb of the Tantric Cult to see if there are any remnants of the Tantric Cult."

"To put it simply, I am the guardian of the government. You'd better let me go immediately, otherwise..."

"I know. What is Tantra?" Zhang Rongfang asked.

The woman suddenly reacted. The other party didn't even ask her who she was, and just took action. It was obvious that she didn't care about her origins at all.

"...Today, officially, those who can be registered by Jixianyuan are Mingjiao. Those who are not registered are all Tantric sects."

"What are those fragments of statues and metal parts?" Zhang Rongfang asked again.

Dai Huanxi was stunned for a moment.

"I don't know what the fragments of the statues are, but there are many broken remains of esoteric religious artifacts in the tomb. Are those you are talking about?"

"How can I find the secret sect?" Zhang Rongfang changed the question.

"have no idea."

"Why did the imperial court want to strangle the Tantric Cult?"

"I don't know. I'm just a pawn. I don't know anything about this if you ask me." Dai Huanxi said calmly.
