the next day.
Qiu Fei woke up from meditation.
I glanced out the window, the sun was shining brightly.
It was already afternoon.
After a night of practice, the discomfort caused by the aura fist attack on Qiu Fei's body has been greatly reduced.
Qiu Fei noticed that after last night's fierce battle, he faintly touched the barrier of the ninth level of the Hidden Yuan Realm.
In other words, he is not far away from breaking through to the ninth level of the Yin Yuan Realm.
Just as he was about to get out of bed, the door was pushed open.
Zhang Gaizhi walked in and said hurriedly to Qiu Fei: "Something big happened! Go to the front hall quickly!"
Qiu Fei's heart moved.
Could it be that the huge pit in Weiyu Lake was discovered?
Such a big movement, and it was late at night, was certain to spread far away.
He asked casually: "What's the matter, Senior Brother Zhang? Look at you, you're so impatient, you can't stop!"
"Captain Xu is missing!"
Zhang Gaizhi said.
Isn’t it about Weiyu Lake?
Qiu Fei was obviously stunned and blurted out: "Senior Brother Zhang, when did this happen?"
Zhang Gaizhi shook his head and walked out the door, saying as he walked: "Go to the front hall first and listen to what everyone has to say."
It seems that Zhang Gaizhi doesn't know the details either.
Qiu Fei wiped his face, threw two pieces of barbecue to the little black girl and Lang Da, and hurried to the front hall.
Except for the two team members on duty, all the team members gathered in the hall, and the atmosphere was relatively depressed.
Seeing Qiu Fei coming, Wang Xiangren said: "Qiu Fei, I heard from Junior Brother Lu that Lang Da is back by himself?"
Qiu Fei nodded and didn't say much.
"Captain Xu is missing!"
Wang Xiangren said solemnly: "This time, I hope that with the help of Lang Da's unique function, I can find Captain Xu."
Qiu Fei's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He knew very well what was going on with Lang Da. The so-called recognition of people by smell only presupposes that he knew the whereabouts of the other party.
Now, with his eyes darkened, where can he find Xu Jingzhi?
However, he readily agreed and asked: "Captain Wang, what happened? Why did Captain Xu disappear?"
Wang Xiangren said slowly: "In the early morning, Captain Xu found me and said that he wanted to go into the mountain to investigate the situation of the remaining members of Tianyin Pavilion.
I couldn't stop him, so I made an appointment to come back within two hours.
It has been more than four hours now and Captain Xu is still nowhere to be seen. I suspect that he has fallen into the hands of the remnants of the Tianyin Pavilion gang. "
"This is easy to handle."
Qiu Fei nodded and said: "Black Girl knows where they are hiding. With its help, Captain Xu's whereabouts will be found soon."
"I'll leave this to you."
Wang Xiangren said in a deep voice: "You first go to find out where Team Xu is hiding and what the situation is, and then we will discuss how to rescue him."
"Junior Brother Qiu, I will accompany you!"
Lu Zhonghe said.
Qiu Fei thought for a while, but still refused, "Senior Brother Lu, when it comes to gathering information, the fewer people, the better.
Don't worry, I'll take Heimei'er and Langda with me, nothing will happen. "
Wang Xiangren also said: "Junior Brother Lu, Team Xu's sudden disappearance has made the whole team panic.
I suspect that these are the remnants of Tianyin Pavilion who are plotting against us.
In the afternoon, I made an appointment with the heads of the three major families of Luo, Shi and Ji in Linghu Town to discuss the future management of Linghu Town.
The security of our station cannot be compromised.
I'm not at the station. If Junior Brother Lu leaves again, how will the team members respond if an attack occurs and no one is on duty? "
Lu Zhonghe still wants to argue.
Qiu Fei quickly stopped him, "Senior brother Lu, don't worry, I will be fine. The safety of the station is important."
Qiu Fei didn't waste any time and went back to his residence to bring out Little Black Girl and Lang Da.
Accompanied by members of the Golden Eagle team, he went to Captain Xu's room and took away one of his belongings.
The reason why Qiu Fei did this was just to show it to everyone.
To find Xu Jingzhi, we have to rely on Lang Da's ability to "recognize people by smell".
Then, under the eager gaze of everyone, Qiu Fei led the two little monsters and walked straight out of Linghu Town.
When passing the West City Gate, Qiu Fei specifically approached Tao Shiran and asked him if he had seen a tall man with a dark face passing by.
Qiu Fei described Xu Jingzhi's appearance to him.
Tao Shiran was very happy after seeing Qiu Fei again.
Although Qiu Fei is a disciple of the sect, he has no airs. When he was drinking last night, he was drunk and the other party paid the bill.
The most important thing is that the remaining money after checkout is returned to yourself.
That's a full thirty taels of silver.
Thirty taels of silver were placed on him, which was nearly a year and a half's salary. Such a huge sum of money was given to him casually.
He was naturally very attentive to Qiu Fei's request.
He immediately asked his team members, but none of them said they had seen someone with such an appearance leaving the west gate.
Qiu Fei believed that these city guards would not lie.
So, where did Xu Jingzhi go?
To investigate the situation of the remnants of Tianyin Pavilion, one must pass through the west city gate, but the soldiers at the city gate have not seen him.
Could it be that he was captured by the remnants of Tianyin Pavilion in the city?
Taking advantage of Tao Shiran's opportunity to ask his men, Qiu Fei immediately used his spiritual consciousness to explore the town. Revise
Linghu Town is only about ten miles in radius, and his spiritual consciousness is powerful and can easily cover it.
His consciousness was like plowing the ground, combing through the entire Linghu Town, but Qiu Fei did not detect Xu Jingzhi's figure.
Qiu Fei frowned.
Still not giving up, he carefully explored Linghu Town again. He even did not miss some inconspicuous corners.
There was still no sign of Xu Jingzhi.
After learning the result of Tao Shiran's inquiry, Qiu Fei withdrew his consciousness, walked out of the west city gate and walked into the forest.
Tao Shiran deliberately persuaded Qiu Fei that it would be dangerous to leave the city at this time.
But after seeing Qiu Fei's frown, he swallowed the words on his lips.
I heard that the disciples of the sect are moody and it is common for them to draw swords and kill people when they disagree.
Although Tao Shiran was grateful to Qiu Fei, he did not dare to make fun of his own wealth and life. He could only watch Qiu Fei's thin figure go away silently.
As the outside world said, less than two miles outside the town is the virgin forest.
A trodden path stretches through the jungle.
As soon as Qiu Fei entered the jungle, he unfolded his consciousness and explored the canyon twenty miles away.
Qiu Fei discovered that Shi Zhongyuan, the cultivation genius of the Shi family, was sitting cross-legged in the cave, practicing while treating his injuries.
In several nearby caves, there were fifty or sixty people gathered.
These people all have injuries on their bodies, but they are recovering.
One by one they were lying or sitting, chatting and spanking, seemingly talking and laughing, but their expressions were listless and lifeless.
In several other caves, food and living supplies needed for the survival of dozens of people were stored. Qiu Fei inspected them and then withdrew his consciousness.
Xu Jingzhi was nowhere to be seen.
In other words, Xu Jingzhi's disappearance has nothing to do with these remnants of Tianyin Pavilion.
So, where did Xu Jingzhi go?
Although he had divine consciousness to detect it, Qiu Fei decided to take a trip himself and go to the canyon to find out what was going on.
It would be better if someone from Tianyin Pavilion could be caught and asked about their internal situation.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the outskirts of the canyon.
In order not to alert the enemy, Qiu Fei lurked on the spot.
The light in the forest is dim, lying in it, and you can't find it at all if you don't look carefully.
This canyon is located in a remote area, and there are very few signs of human footfall around it.
It can be seen that people entering and exiting this canyon are very careful and do not want the canyon to be known.
There are towering cliffs on both sides of the canyon, which are as sharp as a knife and an axe, making it impossible to climb with bare hands.
Qiu Fei discovered that this canyon, which was only a few tens of feet long, had two exits in front and back.
What made him even more speechless was that there were many traps set artificially in this canyon.
Every step he takes is startling.
It is hard for you to imagine that a canyon that is tens of feet long has dozens of traps set up.
These traps are simple and made from local materials.
Dig a hole at random and bury some sharp bamboo thorns in it. Once you accidentally step into it, the soles of your feet will be pierced.
In addition, there are dozens of animal traps set up in the canyon. Once one steps on it, the bare feet will have to be "bited" by the powerful jaws.
After discovering all this, Qiu Fei couldn't help but take a breath.
The existence of these traps is not only to guard against the invasion of foreign enemies, but more importantly, to guard against the escape of insiders!
It seemed that Qiu Fei's purpose of arresting people to interrogate the inside of the canyon was about to fail.
Looking at the canyon that looked like a huge mouth ready to swallow the invading enemy, Qiu Fei frowned and thought about how to break in.
Just then, he heard a whistling sound above his head.
Qiu Fei couldn't help but use his spiritual consciousness to explore the past.
But it was a flying talisman, flying rapidly from the direction of Linghu Town, and was about to reach the sky above the canyon.
At this moment, a flying talisman also rushed out from the top of the cliff in the canyon and headed towards the flying talisman.
At the same time, a deep voice sounded above the head, "Who is it? Dare to break into my Tianyin Pavilion!"
I heard someone say loudly: "Brother, I am Shi Donglai, the steward of the Shi family in Linghu Town. I have something urgent to ask to see my young master Shi."
The butler of the Shi family?
After Qiu Fei heard this, he suddenly understood.
It was just as he expected.
The historian, one of the three major families in Linghu Town, is indeed inextricably linked to the remnants of Tianyin Pavilion.
Moreover, the realm of this butler is not low, and he has actually reached the ninth level of the Yin Yuan Realm.
At such a high level, he is willing to devote himself to being an insignificant housekeeper in the family. So, how terrifying is the head of the Shi family?
Qiu Fei's head suddenly grew bigger.
This is already the case for the Historian family, but what about the Luo family and the Ji family?
If these two families are like the Shi family and have no connection with the remnants of Tianyin Pavilion, is it still necessary to settle in Linghu Town?
Otherwise, people at home would have eaten it that day without even realizing it.
I heard the disciple of Tianyin Pavilion say: "It turns out to be Steward Shi, please come with me. Senior Brother Shi has been waiting for you for a long time."
Next, it’s easy.
Shi Donglai, the steward of the Shi family, led by this disciple of Tianyin Pavilion, descended from the top of the canyon to the canyon.
Qiu Fei discovered that Shi Zhongyuan, who was practicing, had walked out of the cave and welcomed Shi Donglai, the butler from the family.
Qiu Fei didn't know what the two discussed, but he was no longer prepared to stay here.
He quietly left the canyon, took out his flying talisman, and stopped about ten miles outside the west city gate.
He is going to stay here to guard Shi Donglai, the steward of the historian.
