"Stop talking if you feel uncomfortable." Ling'er said distressedly, taking out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood from the corner of Qi Yang's mouth.
Ji Cangyu was unhappy when he saw this, and said with a cold face: "Since everything is fine, let's continue to investigate!" After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing that Qi Yang was really okay, Xu Jun left helplessly.
Zhong Long also found a few torches from nowhere and distributed them to everyone, and then followed Ji Cangyu to the depths of the forbidden area with Zhao Xinghe and Liu Chuyuan.
Jiang Yu walked up to Qi Yang and said with some restraint, "Thank you so much, young hero, for saving my life. I have offended many people before..."
"It's just a matter of effort, don't worry about it." Qi Yang said with a smile.
How could this be a piece of cake? Jiang Yu watched Qi Yang's face fade away from his ruddy face and turned a little pale. He secretly kept this kindness in his heart, bowed to Qi Yang, and went to chase Zhao Xinghe.
Qi Yang said to Zhong Gong: "Brother Zhong, take the girl with you! I'll rest for a while and then I'll find you."
Zhong Gong nodded and said, "That's all we can do for now." Then he looked at Ling'er and said, "Ling'er, follow me!"
Ling'er was confused when she saw Zhong Gong pulling Qi Yang on his back and carrying Qi Yang on his back.
"Brother Zhong, what are you..." Qi Yang said embarrassedly.
"You call me big brother, how can I leave you here alone? And even if I agree, Ling'er won't agree." Zhong Gong smiled.
Qi Yang was helpless. Since Zhong Gong refused to leave him, he could only let Zhong Gong work hard. The breath in his body was turbulent, and he really couldn't walk at the moment.
Ling'er looked at Qi Yang's right hand hanging weakly and frowned.

Ji Cangyu took everyone around the forbidden area and found nothing special. So, everyone went to the pavilion located in the north of the forbidden area that everyone thought was weird.
Everyone had seen the pavilion from a distance when they passed by before, and there was a path to the north that could lead directly there.
By the time everyone reached the front of the pavilion, the sky had completely darkened.
This is an octagonal pavilion that looks very new. It seems to have been built in the past few years and has not experienced many violent storms.
Zhong Long walked to the pavilion, raised the torch high, and read out the three characters "Yunyu Pavilion" with three dragons and phoenixes on the plaque.
"'Yunyu Pavilion'? There is such an otherworldly 'Yunyu Pavilion' in this forbidden area where 'intruders die'?" Zhao Xinghe couldn't help but tease.
"This is indeed very weird." Liu Chuyuan nodded in agreement.
"'Yunyu Pavilion'?" Ji Cangyu read it several times in his mind, and suddenly his eyes widened. He finally knew why he was somewhat familiar with the words "Yunyu Pavilion". That was a past event from forty years ago buried deep in his memory.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Zhong Gong was walking at the end with Qi Yang on his back. He just came to the pavilion and happened to see Ji Cangyu frowning.
"It turns out that the mastermind behind the murder case in Gaoyakou Village was Mrs. Piao Piao." Ji Cangyu said and sighed deeply.
After Zhong Gong put Qi Yang down, he asked, "Have you found any clues?"
"I can confirm that this 'Yunyu Pavilion' was built by Mrs. Piao Piao." Ji Cangyu said with certainty.
Qi Yang looked up and observed the octagonal pavilion, but did not find anything special about it.
Seeing that Ji Cangyu looked unwilling to talk more, no one dared to ask any more questions.
"It's getting late, so let's rest here for the night! The forest is probably full of traps and formations. It's best to wait until dawn to investigate." Ji Cangyu made a decision out of safety considerations. In fact, he was very confused and wanted to calm down and collect his thoughts.
While everyone was surrounding the "Yunyu Pavilion" looking for anything suspicious, Ji Cangyu walked to the chair in the pavilion and sat down.
Looking at the dark night sky, Ji Cangyu recalled the past.
At that time, Ji Cangyu was still a child with a yellow mouth, and Mrs. Piao Piao was still Xu Ruyun, the kind and lovely little girl she was back then. The two were childhood sweethearts, inseparable, holding hands wherever they went, so close.
The young Ji Cangyu once thought that this was love, so he took little Xu Ruyun to a dilapidated pavilion to worship heaven and earth. In Ji Cangyu's eyes, that time of worshiping heaven and earth was just a child's play, just like the house they often played, but Xu Ruyun unexpectedly took it seriously and thought that it was a promise for their lives.
And the pavilion where they once "worshipped heaven and earth" was the furthest place they had ever been together when they were young, right at the foot of Miaofeng Mountain.
That pavilion had no name. It collapsed due to dilapidation during a storm more than ten years ago and has long since ceased to exist. Later, Ji Cangyu had the foundation demolished and rebuilt into a mountain temple.
"Yunyu Pavilion" was the name Xiao Xu Ruyun gave to that broken pavilion. "Yun" represents Xu Ruyun, and "Yu" is Jicang Yu.
Ji Cangyu looked at the "Yunyu Pavilion", which had the same appearance as the dilapidated pavilion, and sighed heavily.
Could it be that his lust for fun killed those innocent people in Gaoyakou Village? And this forbidden area was specially set up by Mrs. Piao Piao to expose her crimes? And that so-called secret is just a bait thrown by Mrs. Piao Piao to lure her to this "Yunyu Pavilion"? Ji Cangyu held his head in pain. If this is Mrs. Piao Piao's revenge, then she succeeded!

Ling'er is supporting Qi Yang around the "Yunyu Pavilion" to search for clues.
Qi Yang lowered his head and looked at every stone he passed under his feet, trying to find anything suspicious.
But Ling'er was secretly paying attention to Ji Cangyu's situation. She felt that Uncle Ji seemed to be troubled by something.
When Ling'er noticed that Ji Cangyu had his head in his hands and looked very distressed, he asked Qi Yang anxiously: "Uncle Ji, something doesn't seem right. Is it because there is something weird about this pavilion?"
"I don't know." Qi Yang answered truthfully, "Maybe it's the grudges of the previous generation? The 'Yu' in 'Yunyu Pavilion' should refer to the owner of Ji Village, and the word 'Yun'...maybe Mrs. Piao Piao's Maid name?"
"Oh." Ling'er nodded as if understanding.
"On the surface, there is nothing suspicious about this forbidden area, so I feel that there must be a secret room hidden under this forbidden area, but I don't know where the entrance is." Qi Yang said.
"Do you think the entrance is in this pavilion?" Ling'er asked in surprise.
Qi Yang nodded and continued to look for possible mechanisms.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Qi Yang quickly pushed Ling'er to the ground and shouted a warning to others: "Be careful of ambush!"
Ji Cangyu also noticed something was wrong, stood up and drew his sword, preparing to face the enemy.
Everyone was shocked, thinking that they were not good at martial arts, and they all followed Qi Yang's example and fell to the ground.
Sure enough, the sound of arrows piercing the air was heard immediately afterwards.
However, the strange thing is that no one saw any arrows being shot. Could it be that all the arrows were shot astray?
Just when everyone stood up and felt puzzled, Ji Cangyu shouted: "Everyone come to the pavilion!"
Ji Cangyu, who had been standing in the pavilion, noticed that all the arrows were shot on the eaves of the pavilion. At first, he felt puzzled. They were not rockets. What was the enemy's purpose for doing this? But then he vaguely heard the sound of "Boom! Boom! Boom!" and knew something was wrong.
