The journey of 20 Li is not far for them. Although Xu Shaotang deliberately suppressed his own speed in order to match the speed of Long Fei and Wu Jie, they soon arrived at Peijia village.
What came into view was a blackened ruin.
Peijia village is not big. Judging from the ruins, there should be only 20 or 30 families here.
However, there is no intact house here, and there are ruins everywhere. The ruins after the fire are now covered with waist high weeds. It seems that it has been burned down for some time, which confirms the time of the fire from the side.
Xu Shaotang walked into one of the ruins, pulled aside the waist high weeds, and carefully looked inside.
"What is he looking for?" Looking at Xu Shaotang's action, Wu Jie asks Long Fei around him.
"Wreckage!"
In the aspect of criminal investigation, Long Fei is also an expert among the experts. Just looking at Xu Shaotang's actions, he has already guessed what Xu Shaotang is looking for.
When he talks with Wu Jie, Xu Shaotang has found a wreck in the ruins. Because of the fire, the bones of the wreck have been burned beyond recognition. All the bones have been burned black, and some have been burned so that there is no ash left.
"How's it going?"
Long Fei comes to Xu Shaotang and looks at the debris on the ground. He asks Xu Shaotang.
Xu Shaotang squatted down, pointed to a piece of incomplete bone on the ground and said: "look here, this should be a sternum. You can see the traces of fracture obviously. If it was not broken after it was burned, then you can be sure that there must have been a killing before it was burned."
Long Fei took a look at the scorched bone, then nodded slightly, with a trace of anger, said: "it's almost certain that the fire was man-made, and the arsonist slaughtered all the people in the village before setting the fire. This method is really cruel!"
Although the people in Peijia village had nothing to do with him, Long Fei was still inexplicably angry when he thought of the inhuman tragedy that had happened here. If it was in the secular world outside, he would definitely trace it to the end!
"That's tough enough!" Xu Shaotang said coldly: "if we have a chance, let's investigate this matter carefully. Since we can't fulfill the person's request, I'll help him find out this matter!"
What he doubted most was the woman's family. He thought angrily that even if the woman's family wanted to revenge, he would kill the Pei family directly. Why did he do the brutality of slaughtering the village?
At the same time, WuJie has already sat down cross legged on the overgrown ground, gently closed his eyes, and whispered the scriptures of the dead in his mouth.
Listening to the obscure scriptures in WuJie's mouth, Xu Shaotang and Long Fei look at each other, with helpless look on their faces.
However, they didn't interrupt WuJie. Even if they didn't believe in Buddhism, they didn't know whether the scriptures of WuJie could really transcend the souls of the dead, but they could accept it as a kind of ceremony held for the souls of the dead who suffered from reckless disasters. After all, it was also a kind of traditional culture of Xia state.
Almost half an hour later, Wu Jie slowly opened his eyes, stood up and bowed to the ruins. He put his hands together and said devoutly, "Amitabha, may you go to the paradise early, and no longer suffer from the disaster of the red world."
Looking at Wu Jie's pious act, Xu Shaotang and Long Fei seem to be infected. At the same time, they bow to the dead here.
After finishing all this, Xu Shaotang took WuJie and Longfei to the direction of Tianzhu Mountain.
When it was dark, they could see the pillar at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.
Looking at Tianzhu Mountain not far away, Xu Shaotang can't help but think of the scene when he was forced into desperate danger to enter Tianzhu Mountain. Tianzhu Mountain is of special significance to him and mu Tiance. If it wasn't for the protection of Tianzhu Mountain, they might have turned into dust now.
If Tianzhu Mountain is an individual, it can be regarded as their life-saving benefactor.
In addition to Tianzhu Mountain, a life-saving benefactor, Xu Shaotang still has a question in his heart. Who was the man who yelled "no" to him before he entered Tianzhu Mountain? Although there are many enemies in Kunlun, it is not that there is no one to save him. If there is no one to save him, he will not even have the chance to enter Tianzhu Mountain.
He was a man who wanted to repay his kindness. At the beginning, the man saved him, but now he has some strength. He wants to find the man who saved him and thank him personally.
However, he couldn't imagine who would save him. Even if he wanted to find his own benefactor, he couldn't find it at all.
"What are you thinking?"
Looking at Xu Shaotang quietly staring at the dim Tianzhu Mountain not far ahead, Long Fei casts a puzzled look at Xu Shaotang.
Hearing Long Fei's words, Xu Shaotang slowly regained his mind and said to Long Fei with a smile, "it's nothing. It's just that he thought of some things before.""When you first came to Kunlun, it should have been very difficult, right?" Long Fei knows that it's Xu Shaotang who can get here without any trouble. They have Xu Shaotang's help at this time. Who can help them at that time? Therefore, even if Xu Shaotang didn't say it, he had already guessed that Xu Shaotang's last visit to Kunlun was very difficult.
Xu Shaotang nodded slightly and said, "it's really hard. I almost died several times. To tell you the truth, the last time I was in Kunlun, it should be the most difficult time in my life."
He didn't have the thought of remembering bitterness and sweetness. He just sighed that God was very good to him. They were in such danger that he was still alive and standing here. It was really a very lucky thing.
"Compared with you, we seem to be much happier!" Long Fei said with a smile, "shall we enter Tianzhu Mountain now, or wait for the sky to darken?"
Xu Shaotang thought for a while and said, "I'd better wait. At this time, I'll tell you something about Tianzhu Mountain. I won't accompany you to the top of Tianzhu Mountain. After you are sent to Tianzhu Mountain, it's up to you."
"We can't rely on you for everything, can we?" Long Fei smile, eyes with hope, said: "if everything depends on you, it is estimated that our strength will not have much improvement."
He also came from a sea of flames. He knew that if he wanted to get a strong strength, it was not enough to rely on others alone. In the end, it was up to them.
Xu Shaotang nodded with approval, then called Wu Jie and Long Fei to sit down next to them and began to tell them about Tianzhu Mountain. By the way, he also told them the precautions.
