The snow particles are rotating and falling.

In the wind and snow, a carriage suddenly drove up on the frozen dirt road.

Behind the carriage were several black and brown horses, and several guards in black armor sat on the horse, following the carriage in front and galloping forward.

The sound of horse hooves echoed on the mountain road.

The inside of the carriage is warm and quiet.

Relying against the window, the two of them sat opposite each other, with a strong man of big and thick men on one side, and a handsome young man in a white robe on the other side.

"Young Master, why did you run so far into the mountain?" Molushan said in confusion.

"If you don't go into the mountains, go into the village."

Mo Yun lifted the cotton curtain on the side of the carriage. The window was white, and the branches were covered with snow. There was no one on the mountain road except the convoy he led.

After leaving the city lord's mansion, he returned to the Mo family directly, called Molu Mountain, and left Maolin City together, intending to go to the village that Song Yunzhang mentioned and Lingyan Village to inquire about the news.

Apart from some information, it has been pieced together, but most of it is fragmented.

Mo Yun relied on his own experience in reading some mystery novels, so he probably organized his ideas.

First of all, the direct cause of this massacre was the third master of the Zhang family. Zhang Shigong met Wen Shuling in Lingyan Village. Then, he became tempted and forced the girl to rob him, took Wen Shuling back to the Zhang family, and forced her to take her as a concubine.

Later, the murderer of the massacre of the family, the Ghost Sect, the mysterious man with scars on his face suddenly appeared at the wedding scene and silenced the entire Zhang family.

Then, he refined Wen Shuling into a kind of existence that was neither human nor ghost through the method of practicing corpses. Then he arranged a ritual suspected to be a blood sacrifice in the Zhang family, creating a different space with unknown intentions.

And this mysterious man was also following a woman. It is very likely that the woman selling makeup that Mo Yun had seen before should be in the state of return. He was good at the magic of possessing spirits, causing trouble in Maolin City, and attacking the city lord's mansion.

During this period, Mo Yun encountered the possessed boss of the rice shop and A Qi from the Qinglong Gang whom Mo Yun encountered while inquiring about the news, they should have been hiding behind the scenes and manipulating them.

Mo Yun stretched his legs and gently tapped his chin.

Every time he thinks about the plot when he writes a novel, he will follow this idea, organize the plot in chronological order, and let different plot lines intertwin together, thereby sorting out a complete clue.

Now, the question he is thinking about is:

What kind of position does Wen Shuling occupy in this conspiracy, and why did the Ghost Sect target the Zhang family?

Is it a long time to plan or just accidental that the master behind the scenes chooses to take action on the wedding day?

If you don’t understand this, it will be difficult to guess the real intention of the person behind the scenes and prescribe the right medicine.

Therefore, the beginning of this conspiracy, which is Lingyan Village where Wen Shuling is located, is a very critical location.

It is precisely because of this that he planned to go to Lingyan Village to find out.

However, none of these things can be explained to Mount Moru.

Therefore, Mo Yun just smiled faintly without answering, leaving a profound smile to the strong man opposite him.

Regardless of whether this investigation has gained any results, Mo Yun has decided to contact Rong'er immediately after returning and ask her to notify the masters in the sect to solve the matter in Maolin City, once and for all.

He was already a little tired of this mission.

The complexity of this mission is not too high, but the most important thing is that with his current strength, he cannot really intervene in this incident and can only play a role behind the scenes.

If I really get involved, I am afraid I don’t even know how I die.

Maolin City has become a battlefield for the powerful people in the Returning Realm among several forces. If other practitioners break in, they will probably die for a lifetime.

This is also the reason why Mo Yun was in a hurry to leave Maolin City. After he told Song Yunzhang of the City Lord's Mansion about the information, he felt that something might change.

Although Song Yunzhang looked steady, he might still be more idealistic in his heart. Simply put, he had never suffered the beating of reality and thought he could change the world.

But this world is not so easy to change. The easiest thing to change is actually human beings themselves.

In short, no matter how Song Yunzhang deals with the information he provides, it will probably cause a storm. As a fueling agent, Mo Yun actually means going out of the city to avoid the limelight.

At this time, the carriage was suddenly patted gently, and the sound of the coachman outside came:

"Young Master, Lingyan Village is coming."

"oh?"

Mo Yun pulled up the curtains on the carriage again and looked out the window.

The winding mountain road surrounded by coniferous forests is winding, and a vague outline of a village appears in front of the road.

But for some reason, it looked bright red from afar.

Before coming, Mo Yun briefly inquired about the situation in Xialing Yan Village.

This village basically makes a living by hunting. It is said that it produced salt here decades ago, but now it no longer sells salt. It can barely be self-sufficient with the prey in the mountains.

Mo Yun recalled the conversation with Wen Shuling last night. Although the woman looked weak, her conversation was clear and her self-aware. She seemed to have read books and had no bad knowledge.

He was also very curious about what kind of living environment did such a woman grow up and what was her attitude towards her by the people around him.

Perhaps, the people of the Ghost Sect are eyeing her because she has something special.

"No, it smells strange."

In the carriage, Molushan sniffed and suddenly frowned.

"Go down and take a look."

Mo Yun also smelled a faint smell of blood, frowned, and a bad premonition flashed in his heart. He immediately lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

brush!

After being baptized by true energy, he can be said to be as light as a swallow, stepping on the ground lightly, standing side by side with Mount Molu.

The two frowned and stared at the village ahead.

Mo Yun's expression was frozen.

"Oh no, this village is probably over." Molushan sighed.

"How could this happen..." Mo Yun murmured.

The fire filled the sight, and the whole village was lit with raging fires. Originally, most of the houses were built with thatch, and the villagers stored a lot of coal and wood needed for winter. Now, when it was fired, it was ignited, and the fire was soaring into the sky.

There were dozens of steps away from the entrance of the village and I felt a burning air gushing out.

The Mars sputtered in all directions.

The smell of blood is pungent, mixed with the charred smell floats far and far away, no wonder you can smell it in the car.

A long way from here you can see several charred corpses crawling on the mountain road in front of the village entrance.

It is obvious that this is to slaughter the village first and then set fire, otherwise it would be impossible for a survivor to not even hear the voice of a survivor.

At this moment, the guards who followed Mo Yun all widened their eyes. They who lived in a safe environment had never seen such a scene. They were shocked and could not speak. A group of more than a dozen people were like sculptures.

"This village is said to have hundreds of people, but I didn't expect to suffer a disaster." Molushan frowned, "I don't know who was the one who started the attack, the horse gang? The bandit? Or..."

Mo Yun's face was as deep as water, staring at the fire in front of him, wanting to rush in, but he felt it was unnecessary.

It has been burned like this, and I am afraid that the iron man will be burned and it is impossible for him to have a living habit.

As soon as he heard the news, he rushed over without stopping, but he was still one step late.

Mo Yun was very sure that his actions were very secretive and had not told anyone except these trusted guards.

Moreover, when he left the city, he specially arranged for people to travel lightly, avoiding the main road, and confirmed that no one was following him.

Is it really a coincidence?

"Scatter, go find clues, see if there are any survivors, check and search for the murderer's footprints."

Mo Yun had a calm face and ordered the shocked guards.

"yes!"

At this time, the guards next to them woke up as if they were dreaming, dispersed and went to different directions to investigate the situation.

"Young Master, why don't we... leave Maolin City too..."

Molushan followed Mo Yun all the way, becoming more and more anxious, and finally couldn't help but speak.

The strange thing about the matter is that it seems that wherever Mo Yun goes, something bad happens.

He didn't care much about this, but when he encountered this situation continuously, even the slowest person would feel terrified...

Wherever they go to investigate, people will be silenced. This is enough to show that the water behind this matter is deeper than they imagined.

Even if it is just a coincidence, it is creepy enough.

"We will leave, but not now." Mo Yun said in a deep voice.

"This..." Molushan sighed.

The two waited for about ten minutes, and finally a guard came to report:

"Young Master, I found some footprints and blood on the other side of the forest, which may have been left by the murderer."

"You guys wait here and look forward to the carriage, and I'll chase after you alone."

"Young Master, I'll go with you too." Molushan said.

"No, you have too big goals, just stay here." Mo Yun waved his hand, "Don't worry, I'm sure I won't do it rashly."

"good."

Molushan had no objection at this time, because Mo Yun's strength was indeed far stronger than him. If he really encountered a dangerous opponent, Mo Yun might have to free up his hands to protect him.

As the commander of the guard, Molushan still has this little vision.

Mo Yun held the knife in his hand, his body was as light as a swallow, and ran in the direction pointed out by the guard in a few steps.

Mo Yun had just checked it himself and found that the scars on most villagers' bodies were very messy. Obviously, not only did the attack, and not all were masters.

This shows that the murderer was a gang committing the crime.

Since the murderer is not strong enough to destroy the entire village alone, nor is he walking alone, it means he still has a chance to catch up with the other party.

Judging from the traces of the flame burning, the murderer obviously had not left for a long time.

In order to avoid exposure, Mo Yun decided to chase after him and see where the murderer came from.
