"Hey, where is Xiaoyu?"

Yang Ruoqing suddenly realized something and turned around to look, only to find that Xiaoyu was not beside her.

"Xiaoyu?"

Yang Ruoqing was shouting and searching, and Risong was about to tell the two guards to search on the other side when Xiaoyu's voice came from not far away.

"Sister Qing'er, brother, I was here that day."

Looking around, I saw Xiaoyu standing up from a slope over there and waving her hand this way.

Yang Ruoqing hurriedly came to Xiaoyu and said, "Girl, don't run around. There are many tigers, leopards and wolves in the mountains."

Xiaoyu stuck out her tongue and said, "Well, I won't run far. But, Sister Qing'er, I found this here."

She handed something in front of Yang Ruoqing, which was a palm-sized iron plate wrapped in a ball of mud.

"This is..." Yang Ruoqing asked.

"This is the base for placing candles." Xiaoyu said.

"Then what?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

"This base is from the Black Lotus Sect, I recognize it." Xiaoyu continued.

"Black Lotus?" Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Are you sure?"

Xiaoyu nodded very firmly, "When I was in the Black Lotus Sect, I always used things like this in my house. There is a tiny black lotus underneath."

Xiaoyu said, scraping off the mud on the iron plate in front of Yang Ruoqing.

After scraping it off, the original shape of the iron plate was revealed, with a depression in the middle and a circle of ruffles on the edge. The base was turned over, and indeed a small black lotus was engraved on it.

"Qing'er, Xiaoyu, what are you looking at?" Risong also came to the two of them that day.

Yang Ruoqing took the iron plate from Xiaoyu's hand, shook it at Narisong and said, "Those lingering tomb robbers are related to the Black Lotus Sect. This is the evidence."

Risong looked at the things in Yang Ruoqing's hands that day, and then at the collapse under his feet. He really couldn't understand how this small piece of iron plate was connected to the Black Lotus Sect?

However, since Qing'er said with such certainty that the iron plate was used by the Black Lotus Sect to light candles, Risong believed that Yang Ruoqing must have his own basis for judgment.

"Qing'er, I'm a little confused. Even if the tomb robbers in this deep mountain and old forest are really members of the Black Lotus Sect, what are they doing with this candle tray?"

That day Risong asked again, "Did you come here to set fire to the mountain?"

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, "They have their own taboos when robbing tombs. They use candles, which is also called 'ghost blowing out lamps.'"

"A ghost blowing out a lamp?" Narisong was surprised.

Xiaoyu also tilted her head and looked at Yang Ruoqing curiously, waiting for her next words.

Yang Ruoqing remembered this question. The last time she, Tang Yazi, Qi Xingyun, and Tuobaling went down to the tomb of the former queen, they opened the coffin to retrieve the items and talked to them about it.

"The ghost blowing out the lamp means lighting a candle in the east, west, north and south corners of the tomb when opening the coffin to retrieve items." Yang Ruoqing said concisely and concisely.

"If the color of the candle's flame remains unchanged and does not go out, it means the object can be retrieved."

"If the candle's flame turns into a faint blue and is blown out, it means that the owner of the tomb is angry and must leave as soon as possible."

"And you can't take away half of the items, otherwise, you will be punished."

After hearing what Yang Ruoqing said, both Risong and Xiaoyu were shocked.

"It's too mysterious. Is such a thing really possible?" Narisong asked, wishing he could dig a hole in the ground and jump down to try it himself.

Yang Ruoqing raised her lips, "We won't delve into whether there is such a thing for now. This is a rule set by the ancestor of the tomb robbers."

"Right now, our focus is not on this, but we can confirm that people from the Black Lotus Sect have already been mixed into the Mianniu Mountain area."

As Yang Ruoqing spoke, she raised her hand and pointed at the large area of ​​collapsed mountains in front of her, saying: "Judging from these collapsed mountains, there must be a big tomb underneath."

"This also shows that the number of tomb robbers in the Black Lotus Sect is quite large, which makes people very worried!" she said.

That day, Risong's face also became a little more solemn.

"So many people from the Black Lotus Sect have sneaked into our Mianniu Mountain area, but we are completely unaware of it. This is a bit strange," he said.

"So many pagans are a threat to our area, like a sword hanging above our heads that may fall at any time." He added.

Yang Ruoqing also nodded slightly, it was indeed a big hidden danger!

Thinking of something, Yang Ruoqing suddenly turned around and looked at Xiaoyu, only to find that Xiaoyu's face was a little pale.

When she looked at Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu also happened to look up at her. Xiaoyu shook her head imperceptibly and hesitated to speak.

Yang Ruoqing's heart moved, Xiaoyu knew the inside story.

Perhaps it was because Risong and the two guards were here that day, so Xiaoyu was hesitant to say anything.

Although Risong was not an outsider that day, it was to Yang Ruoqing.

In Xiaoyu's mind, she doesn't think so. She doesn't want the fourth person to know about her identity as a saint of the Black Lotus Sect.

Yang Ruoqing felt relieved, and nodded lightly to Xiaoyu, then turned to Narisong and said, "Maybe there are people from the Black Lotus sect hiding nearby. Let's go back to the village first."

"Today's discovery, let's not talk about it for now, so as not to cause panic and alert others, we must investigate it secretly and then make long-term plans." She warned.

That Risong nodded, "I know it in my heart. It's a very important matter. I won't even say a word to Yaxue."

Yang Ruoqing curled her lips, admiring Na Risong's character who could clearly distinguish between public and private matters and could do great things!

Several people returned to the village, and everyone in the village was talking about it.

But no one thought about robbing tombs, because from the outside, there was no visible hole at all.

No, it should be said that the villagers are all laymen in this area, and laymen cannot see the clues.

The villagers all agreed that the reason why the mountain collapsed in large areas was because the birds and animals in the mountain had absorbed the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon for a long time, so they had aura.

Then they practiced non-stop for hundreds of years, and finally took advantage of the thunderstorm weather a while ago to soar, so the cave where they practiced collapsed...

"Some said it was a tit, some said it was a tortoise, and some said it was a big python. They said that last autumn, someone passed by the foot of the mountain at night,"

"I saw with my own eyes a round thing lying across the middle of the road, and the body in front and back was completely hidden in the thatch on the side."

"The man was curious, so he picked up a branch and poked it a few times, and found that the thing was still moving."

"Under the moonlight, the whole body was glowing and there were scales. Then I realized that it was a big python. Its body was on the mountain, and its head was stuck in the river at the foot of the mountain to drink water..."

The fourth aunt Liu came to Yang Ruoqing's house and told Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoyu the rumors she had heard in the village for a long time.

Yang Ruoqing smiled faintly and said, "There are different opinions. If there really is such a big python, how can it survive?"
