"What a wonderful Qimen Dunjia technique, it seems that we have indeed not found the wrong place!"

An old man holding a compass in his hand looked at the misty mountains and forests in front of him, and his wrinkled face could not hide his praise in his heart.

"Old Guo, do you think the young master has fallen into this forest?"

Beside him, a black-faced man with a tiger back and a bear waist and bearded said respectfully to the old man.

"If I had expected it would be very good, the young master would indeed be in this mountain forest." The old man stroked his long and white beard and said.

"Then what are we waiting for?" The black-faced man immediately said anxiously. "Now the young master has been missing for more than a month. If the whereabouts of the young master are no longer found, you and I will not be able to bear the anger brought down by the old master and his wife."

"Do you think I don't want to find the young master as soon as possible? But the mystery in front of me is complicated. Once you break in, we alone will inevitably be lost in it."

The old man glanced at the black-faced man and a team of dark-robed armored guards behind him who were still as motionless as a mountain.

"Since that's the case, we might as well burn this maze directly..." The black-faced man said ruthlessly.

"idiot!"

The old man was so angry that he pulled out the cane from his waist and knocked it at the head of the black-faced man. The black-faced man dared not resist, so he could only protect his head with both hands and let the old man knock it to stop.

"It's easy to burn a fire, but if the young master is really inside, do you want to burn even the young master to death? Besides, the fire in the mountains is so big that even all of us can't escape death!"

"Old Guo, it's because I was not considerate well, but because I was reckless..." The black-faced man quickly apologized and begged for mercy.

"A few years ago, my husband asked you to read more books and make sense. What's the result? Your impetuous and reckless nature has not changed at all. Sooner or later, you will fall on it." The old man gasped and said with a little regretful lesson.

"Old Guo is right. I will definitely change it in the future! I will definitely change it!" As he said that, the black-faced man hurriedly changed the topic. "But the most important thing for us now is to find the young master. Mr. Guo, do you have any solutions to this maze?"

"The solution is not difficult. Just give me some time and I can think of a way to crack this maze!"

The old man held a wise bead in his hand.

As expected.

The old man took the compass and walked around in front of the maze of the mountains and forests. Then he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. After a while, the old man finally opened his eyes.

"I see."

"Old Guo?!"

The black-faced man who had been waiting silently rushed to the old man immediately.

"Everyone lined up in a long snake to follow me, remember that no matter what happened during the process, you must keep up with me."

After the explanation was completed, the old man took the compass and stepped into the mountains in front of him with a serious expression.

During the process, the black-faced man who was following Mr. Guo couldn't help but look around curiously. But after looking around, he didn't notice anything special about the surrounding forests. Even so, he did not violate Mr. Guo's warning because he knew that Mr. Guo would never be aimless.

Soon, the sharp-eyed black-faced man suddenly pointed his hand into the distance.

"Look, Mr. Guo, it seems that someone is lying there."

"I saw it, but it was not someone, but two very rotten corpses."

The old man said with a serious expression.

"What? Could it be..." The black-faced man's face changed instantly.

"Shut up!"

The old man glared at the black-faced man fiercely, and then walked forward carefully to investigate.

Until he saw the two seriously rotten headless bodies on the ground, the old man breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved.

"The body shape is wrong."

"indeed."

The black-faced man stared at the two headless corpses and nodded thoughtfully.

"And I seem to have seen these two people somewhere."

"Please search carefully nearby and report it immediately once you find suspicious signs." The old man immediately ordered. "But remember that no one is allowed to leave my sight."

"yes!"

The black-faced man nodded and gestured to the Xuan-robed armored guards behind him. The next moment, the Xuan-robed armored guards dispersed and searched.

"Report! Two rotten and blurred heads were found here."

"Report! A dagger was found here."

"Report! A scimitar and dagger with a strange shape were found here..."

“…”

Soon, the Xuan-robed Armored Guards in charge of the search reported the discoveries to the old man and the black-faced man.

"I know who they are."

Looking at the dagger and scimitar handed over by the black-robed armored guard, the black-faced man said with a heavy expression.

"They are the second young master's people."

"Are you sure?" the old man said seriously.

"I'm sure, the premise is that this is not a frame-up." The black-faced man pointed to the weapons placed on the ground and said. "At first, I felt that the two headless corpses looked familiar. When I saw these weapons, I completely recalled that I had seen them next to the second young master because the figures of these two people were very distinctive."

"Did you notice the incisions in the neck of the two corpses?" the old man said solemnly.

"Of course, the incision on their necks is extremely smooth, and judging from the position where they fell, they should have been owled in an instant when they were facing the enemy head-on." The black-faced man said in a serious tone. "It can be seen from this that the person who killed them is a master, a master who makes me feel creepy."

"As far as I know, the young master does not have such skills." The old man said.

"Yes, I once taught the young master for a while, and I can be sure that the young master does not have such skills." said the black-faced man.

"So, it seems that someone saved the young master." The old man narrowed his eyes and said.

"Maybe." The black-faced man dared not assert.

"Call up people and let us prepare to meet this person."

The old man held a compass and looked at the mountain road ahead.

at the same time.

Chen Xu stood blankly at the entrance of the village, thinking about what Xia Fan said before leaving. Someone was coming.

It was not that he didn't want to follow Xia Fan to understand the situation, but he couldn't catch up with the other party at all. He lost his trace in the blink of an eye. As a result, after a roundabout way, he returned to the village entrance.

Who is here?

Chen Xu thought to himself.

According to his guess, the visitor was either sent by his second brother or sent by his parents. After all, he has been missing for too long.

Apart from that, who cares about his life or death?

After this incident, Chen Xu reflected on his rash behavior of leaving the house privately more than once during his recovery period.

Do you regret it?

He doesn't regret it.

Because only profound lessons can spur a person's growth.

This is the first truth he learned when he was eight years old.
