Zhuque Mountain.

Zi Yan had already slapped the two of them awake.

However, the two of them had cloth strips stuffed in their mouths. For a moment, they could not speak and could only make whining sounds.

Their eyes were full of fear, and even though the weather was cold, there were still beads of sweat on their foreheads.

"I'll take out the cloth later."

"If you yell and don't cooperate, your heads will fall to the ground immediately."

"Nod if you understand."

Zi Yan has already drawn out her soft sword.

Her soft sword is made of star meteorite iron, which is much stronger than Luo Fengtang's alloy dagger.

Because, her soft sword not only cuts iron like clay, but also has strong toughness and will not break easily when bent.

The two men nodded violently, both wanting to tap their chins.

Zi Yan still held the soft sword in his hand, and the blade of the sword reflected the cold light under the light of the oil lamp. Under this situation, if the two men made any slight movement, Zi Yan would really kill them.

.

Then, Zi Yan quickly pulled out the cloth strips from their mouths with her other hand.

The two of them breathed heavily, like fish returning to the water.

Zi Yan was satisfied, these two people were obviously people who knew each other and were afraid of death.

She is most annoyed by people who are so religious that they are stupid enough to risk their lives, or people who are so stupid that they don't even know how to save their lives.

If those two types of people use threats, not only will they fail to achieve results, but they may also bring unpredictable dangers.

"You two introduce yourself to your family."

Zi Yan asked.

The two of them did not look down upon Zi Yan because she was a woman. No matter who they were, they were scary when they had sharp weapons in their hands.

"My name is Xiao Ren, and his name is Xiao Shan. We are both descendants of the Xiao family."

One of them said honestly.

"You ask this person first, and then the other person. If what they say doesn't match up after a while, kill them all."

Luo Fengtang suddenly spoke, and then he swayed and slapped Xiao Shan on the neck.

Xiao Shan didn't even hum, he fell to the ground and passed out.

Zi Yan only needs to ask one of them.

"Did you hear that? Don't think about playing tricks. If what you say doesn't match Xiao Shan, you know the consequences."

Zi Yan said coldly.

Xiao Ren was really cautious at first and wanted to hide changes in key information.

However, once Zi Yan and Luo Fengtang used such methods, he lost all his little thoughts.

"I understand, I understand. I know everything the two heroes want to ask."

Xiao Ren hurriedly expressed his position.

He is much calmer now.

Now that it's under control, there's no point in thinking about it so much now.

It is more important to find ways to save one's life.

If you can't save your life, what else can you say?

"Okay, whether you can survive or not depends on your attitude."

"Xiao Ren, tell me, what is this temple for?"

"Don't tell me it's a temple dedicated to Buddha, that's a lie."

Zi Yan said lightly.

"This temple is used to worship...the God of Wutong."

Xiao Ren stuttered a little.

"What! Wutong Shen."

Zi Yan said in shock.

This could not help but shock her, because Wutong Shen was essentially a monster, an evil god, and it was expressly prohibited by the Da Qi official court.

Unexpectedly, the Xiao family secretly worshiped the God of Wutong.

The five gods are rats, monkeys, pigs, horses, and snakes that take the form of humans and bring disaster to the world. Sacrifice to these so-called gods may not bring any benefits, but if you do not sacrifice to them, they may bring disaster.

"What are the benefits of worshiping the God of Five Tongs?"

Zi Yan continued to ask.

This is also where she is more confused.

Is the conspiracy played by the Xiao family just to worship the Wutong God? This is clearly unreasonable.

Why put so much effort into something that has no benefit?

"I don't know. Xiao Boshan said that we should worship in front of the Buddha statue and let us look at the temple and not let outsiders or wild beasts in the mountains break in. That's all he told us."

Xiao Ren said hurriedly.

"How to worship?"

Zi Yan observed his words and saw that Xiao Ren didn't look like he was lying, and he could wake up Xiao Shan later for comparison, so Xiao Ren didn't dare to lie.

"Xiao Boshan said..."

Xiao Ren hesitated for a few words and finally said it.

"He said... he wanted to arrest people and bring them over for sacrifice."

"Hmph, the Xiao family is really powerful."

Zi Yan sneered.

Then, she asked a few more questions, but she couldn't get any useful information from Xiao Ren's mouth.

"Snapped……"

She raised her hand and knocked Xiao Ren unconscious. Then, she woke up Xiao Shan who was lying on the ground and asked again.

After asking, Zi Yan continued to knock Xiao Shan unconscious.

"Look, what kind of conspiracy does the Xiao family have?"

Luo Fengtang said thoughtfully.

Simply offering sacrifices to the Wutong God is definitely not a good thing and is not allowed by the law.

But to say that the Xiao family has been busy for so long just for the purpose of offering sacrifices?

It really doesn't make sense.

"It's hard to tell at the moment. Since they want to worship here, the problem must lie with this temple."

Zi Yan got up and walked around the temple, observing every corner with her eyes, making sure to make sure nothing was missed.

"I can't see it."

Luo Fengtang shook his head.

Using his brain is not his specialty. He would rather pick up a knife and fight and kill than think too much about such details.

If Yang Ruoqing were here, these would definitely be given to her.

Now, we can only count on Zi Yan.

Zi Yan didn't speak, she was still observing, but half an hour passed.

She could only sigh and said, "I can't tell either."

"The operation failed."

Luo Fengtang had no choice. Since he didn't find out the truth this time, it meant that the action failed to achieve its goal, which was no different from failure.

"It can't be considered a failure... I think these two guys can take advantage of it."

Purple smoke.

"What are you going to do?"

Luo Fengtang asked.

"Use these two people to see what the Xiao family does next, and what they want to do, they will definitely do it next."

Zi Yan told her plan.
