After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 53 God's Punishment
The sky was gloomy, and the sky was full of thick yellow turbid clouds.

Just like Yan Li's mood at the moment.

After he went to Minshan Prince's Mansion and Dongling Palace to investigate, he found that Yong'an County Master had followed his mother to Qingxu Temple many times before his death, and Ling County Master had gone to the other courtyard of Wangfu Palace to recuperate due to illness, which was only a few meters away from Qingxu Temple. miles away.

All the doubts point to the concept of Qingxu, and the concept of Qingxu is absolutely inseparable from the disappearance and murder of your daughter.

Just came out of Dongling Prince's Mansion, and rushed to Qingxu Temple non-stop.

When Yan Li rushed to Qingxu Temple, Wu Han found a map of Kyoto from the room of the temple owner.

This kanyu map covers all the streets, rivers, and shops within the boundaries of Kyoto, and it is even more accurate and detailed than the kanyu map issued by the government.

On the Kanyu map, several places were circled with a Chinese ink brush. After a closer look, I found out that the circled places were Weishui River, Qingtang Lake, the lotus pond in Minshan Prince’s Mansion, Qingxu Temple and Tangshan Palace.

Except for Qingxu Temple and Tangshan Palace, the other three places are all related to water, and they are the places where the three noble daughters of Qingming County, Yong'an County and Ling County were killed.

The noble daughters of the royal family were killed one after another, and the murderer has not yet brought justice to justice, and now he has brought Tangshan Palace into the mix. What is the conspiracy behind the scenes?
While Wu Han was meditating, Yan Li finally arrived at Qingxu Temple.

Wu Han handed the Kanyu map to Yan Li, Yan Li looked at it and said: "The person who drew this Kanyu map is very capable."

Wu Han nodded, "That person is indeed not simple." Then he pointed out the places circled by the ink pen to Yan Li, "Why do you think he circled these places?"

Yan Li looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.Suddenly I heard Wu Han say: "I see."

He looked up at Wu Han, and saw that he went to the stove to find a section of unburned branches, arranged the circled places on the map in order, and connected them with lines.

After finishing the painting, he asked Yan Li: "What do you think this looks like?"

Yan Li squinted his eyes, and saw that it was a kneeling figure, with its head bowed down, and its hands clasped together above its head.

The moment he saw the portrait, he suddenly remembered that he went to Qianzhou to handle a case a few years ago, and saw a similar pattern in a mountain temple in Pingshan County under the administration of Qianzhou.

The local villagers said that it was the punishment of the gods for treachery. The gods were the most loyal believers of the gods, and they offered sacrifices to the gods, so as to obtain the punishment power to punish the wicked instead of the gods.

If you really look at it from the perspective of divine punishment, it looks like a punishment... against the Dayong royal family.

The murdered county masters of Yong'an, Qingming, and Ling, as well as the missing princess of Qingyang, were all noble daughters of the royal family.

Obviously, the sacrifices for this punishment were four noble daughters.

The three noble girls who had been killed all died of drowning. The dates of death were the sixth day of April, the sixth day of May, and the sixth day of September. The days of water and the sixth day should be very special for the torturers.

Today happens to be the sixth day of October, if the torturer takes Princess Qingyang as a sacrifice for this punishment, Princess Qingyang and A Tan will be in danger.

Thinking of this possibility, Yan Li couldn't help but tremble with fear, and immediately explained the seriousness of the matter to Wu Han.

Wu Han also had a solemn face when he heard the words.

They must find two people before the executioner executes the punishment.

Freelander used water as a medium to carry out punishments. Yan Li and Wu Han concentrated their search forces on all places with water in Qingxu Temple, even the water tank in the kitchen room. After searching around, they found nothing. .

At this time, Wu Han said, "Let's go to the pool at the door to have a look."

Qingxu Temple is different from other Taoist temples. A rockery screen is built at the entrance, facing the main hall dedicated to Sanqing Tianzun.

In the pool under the screen of the rockery, there are two fat goldfishes, one red and one black, and they are fed as auspicious by the pilgrims who come to Qingxu Temple to offer incense.

When the two came to the pool, they saw two fat-headed fish swimming happily in it.There is a stone platform in the middle of the pool, on which there are two lifelike stone fish.

Yan Li walked around the pool, then jumped into the pool and took the stone fish away from the stone platform.The moment the stonefish left the stone platform, the water level in the pool began to drop.

In less than half a stick of incense, all the water up to Yanli's waist drained away, and there were only two struggling fat-headed fish left in the pool.

Yan Li put the stone fish back on the stone platform, only to hear a bang, the stone platform was divided into two, and a hole that could only allow one person to pass appeared in front of everyone.

Yan Li glanced at the entrance of the cave, "I'll go down first to explore the way."

Wu Han also jumped into the pool, "I'll go with you."

The two entered the cave one after the other, and the rest of the subordinates stayed on top to respond.

At the beginning, the entrance of the cave was very narrow, and it became wider and wider as they walked in. As they walked, they realized that something was wrong. This corridor was a dead end, and there was no way to go ahead.

The two backed out quickly.

At this moment, Qianchuan suddenly twisted a young Taoist priest over, "My lord, this Taoist priest wanted to escape, but was caught by our people."

Wu Han looked at the young Taoist sternly, "There are people from Huangchengsi and Dali Temple everywhere in Qingxu temple, so you are sure that you can escape?"

The young Taoist stared at Wu Han resentfully, without saying a word.

Yan Li asked Qian Chuan, "Where did you find him?"

"By the pond in the back mountain." Qian Chuan told the truth, and Yan Li asked him to lead the way.

A few people brought the young Taoist priests to the pond. The pond was half-dry, the surrounding pond walls were covered with yellow mud, and there was a half-covered stone gate in an inconspicuous location.

According to Qian Chuan, when they found the young Taoist priest, he had just emerged from the stone gate.

Yan Li was suspicious when he heard the words, could there be another mystery behind the stone gate?

Wu Han obviously thought of it too, so he ordered one person to investigate.After about a stick of incense, the man came back to report, "To the Commander, there is a secret passage inside."

Wu Han and Yan Liwen looked at each other, it seemed that they had found the right place this time.

It’s just that they don’t know at this time that Qi Tanying and Princess Qingyang are already in danger, the water volume in the stone room is skyrocketing, and the two are standing on the stone platform with difficulty, the water level is almost at the same level as their necks, and there is still rising trend.

After being soaked in cold water for a long time, the nerves were tense and they dared not relax for a moment. The two of them were tired, hungry and cold.

The stone room was extremely dark, and Princess Qingyang murmured: "It seems that we are really going to die here." After breaking down so many times before, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart, but at this moment, there is no expectation .

Now she is not afraid of death, but she is not willing to die like this, after all, she has not married the man she loves the most.

But she was really tired and wanted to close her eyes and sleep.

Qi Tanying felt that Princess Qingyang let go of her arm, she was shocked, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold her.

Boundless fear penetrated into the bone marrow in an instant, can they still retreat unscathed?
"Oh!"

At this moment, there was a loud noise, and then the stone room shook.

She clearly felt a vortex suddenly appeared underwater, and the huge pulling force involved them.
