The three of them arrived at the edge of the cliff and quietly took a look. They found that the cliff was flat within seven or eight feet, and there were only short trees and rocks until ten feet away.

When Nangong Haotian and the others saw this situation, they guessed that the cliff edge had been artificially renovated to facilitate surveillance.

Looking deeper, I saw a large ridge with cornices dozens of feet away. It was obviously the main hall of the Tianshan Sect - Lingxiao Temple.

Just behind Lingxiao Temple, still dozens of feet away, is an independent courtyard of Sihe Jingshe. Shangguan Xiaowan nuzzled towards Nangong Haotian, hinting to Nangong Haotian to pay attention.

Nangong Haotian nodded knowingly and whispered: "There are lights in the main room, but the wall blocks the back window!"

Shangguan Xiaowan and Liu Qianwen all nodded in agreement. Zhao Ling'er and Xue Bing'er, who followed closely behind, also quietly climbed to the edge of the cliff and looked inside.

Gutou and Aunt Shan guessed that the top was heavily guarded and Nangong Haotian and the other five people could not successfully climb the cliff, so they stopped on two leaning pines a few feet below.

As soon as Xue Bing'er arrived, she discovered that there might be someone ambushing behind the strange rocks about a short tree eight or nine feet away, or hiding behind the rocks. She first raised her finger to point, then picked up a small stone, raised her jade wrist, and pointed directly towards the rocks.

Pieces of rocks were thrown away.

There was only a soft thud as the pebble hit a small tree and then fell into the grass.

Sure enough, just as the pebble fell to the ground, behind the three strange rocks, three heads in buns suddenly rose up.

When Nangong Haotian and others saw it, they hurriedly hid their heads behind the grass.

Only three human heads were seen, with piercing eyes and suspicious expressions. They kept wandering around to check the edge of the cliff.

Nangong Haotian, Shangguan Xiaowan and Liu Qianwen, although they all have concentrated their skills and can pop out at any time, but because the other three have their heads lowered behind the stone, none of them dare to take action at will.

Because the three people on the other side are watching the cliff edge with vigilance. As long as the three people raise their hands, not only will the other party shout, but the other party will also subconsciously hide their heads under the stone.

At this moment, a person on the left said in confusion: "Old Liu, someone seems to have thrown a small stone?"

The person on the right said, "I heard a bang too."

One person in the middle said disapprovingly: "Could it be a dead bird that fell?"

The man on the right snorted and said: "A bird will stop flying when it is sick. How can a dead bird fall from the air?"

But one person in the middle said confidently: "If it is a small stone, who would have thrown it up? Who has such great power to throw a small stone directly from the bottom of the peak to the top of the peak?"

The person on the right whispered: "Maybe he climbed halfway up the mountain?"

The person in the middle said: "Old Zhong, go to the edge of the cliff and have a look."

The person on the left was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded and said hello, got up and walked directly to the cliff.

Nangong Haotian did not dare to neglect at all. He stretched his hand out of the grass, flicked out a wisp of wind from his fingers, and went straight to the man's knees.

I saw the man snorting softly, bending his right leg forward, and kneeling on the ground with a thud.

When the other two people saw each other, they subconsciously stood up from behind the stone and asked eagerly: "Old Zhong, you..."

As soon as the word "you" came out of my mouth, Shangguan Xiaowan and Liu Qianwen's fingertips had already arrived.

I heard the two men groan, turned around, and immediately fell to the ground, dying!

Just when the two people behind Shi fell to the ground, Nangong Haotian had already jumped up, directly down to the edge of the cliff, and jumped to the side of the kneeling man in Taoist disguise.

When the kneeling man in Taoist attire saw him, he looked startled. Just as he was about to shout, Nangong Haotian's two middle index fingers had already touched his Adam's apple.

The big man in Taoist attire was speechless and wanted to cry out silently. He just stared at Nangong Haotian in shock. Where the figure disappeared, Shangguan Xiaowan, Liu Qianwen, Zhao Ling'er and Xue Bing'er also flew over.

When the Taoist man saw that Nangong Haotian had brought so many people, he knew that he was unable to resist, so he had to hang his head. Since the two people behind the stone did not come to support him, he guessed that he had suffered the same fate as him.

Nangong Haotianyou glanced in front and to the left and right, and found that everything was as usual, and it seemed that it did not alarm the people in other places who were on alert.

So, he squatted down on the spot, lowered his voice, and said seriously: "Friend, we just want to ask you a few questions, and we will never kill you. Please nod to the correct questions and shake your head to the incorrect ones!"

However, the big man in Taoist attire did not raise his head or say a word. He neither nodded nor shook his head.

During the questioning, Gutou and Aunt Shan also walked over quietly.

When the old man saw the Taoist man's expression, he knew that the other party would not cooperate. He knelt down and said: "Friends, we know how ruthless old Fahe is, and he will be even more harsh on you. Now you don't have to worry about the other two partners."

If you go to tell the truth, they will have their black Qi points tapped. No matter what you do or what you say, they will not be able to hear you!"

The big man in Taoist attire still didn't raise his head. However, when Gutou mentioned that the two companions had been tapped on the Black Qi point, he secretly glanced at the Queen of Stone.

When Gu Gu first saw him, he glanced at Nangong Haotian, and Nangong Haotian motioned for him to continue asking.

In order to buy time, Gutou asked straight to the point: "Excuse me, is that single courtyard of the Jingshe in the front and back? Is it where the old Fahe lives?"

The big man in Taoist attire looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say it, but seemed to have some scruples. Aunt Shan hurriedly whispered: "As long as you cooperate with us, here are two gold ingots, you can use them to escape, and no one will know."

That's what you said."

While talking, he took out two yellow gold ingots from his waist. When the Taoist man saw the gold ingots, his eyes were filled with greed, and he looked up at Aunt Shan.

The old man seized the opportunity and asked: "Is that single courtyard where old Fahe lives?"

The big man in Taoist attire asked and nodded without hesitation.

"Is he out of prison now?"

The big man in Taoist attire shook his head again.

Aunt Shan felt that the old man's question was too general, so she hurriedly asked seriously: "Does your shaking of the head mean that you haven't come out of seclusion yet? Or does it mean that you don't know?"

The big man in Taoist attire actually nodded this time. Nangong Haotian and Shangguan Xiaowan took a look and guessed that old Fahe was still in seclusion in the independent courtyard.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the west direction. The expression of the big man in Taoist attire suddenly changed, and he looked at Nangong Haotian and others with anxious eyes.

Nangong Haotian and others guessed that someone was coming, so they flew behind the strange rocks in front of them.

The seven people looked towards the west and saw another group of rocks and bushes due west, with several figures in Taoist attire standing there, seemingly giving instructions or questioning another group of figures.

Nangong Haotian and others guessed that those people would come here. However, after those people said a few words, they walked directly to the west.

Upon seeing this situation, Nangong Haotian didn't dare to neglect, he waved his hands to everyone, started Qinggong, and flew directly in front of Duwan, the monastery behind him.

Shangguan Xiaowan and the other six people did not dare to neglect, they also spread out their movements and followed closely behind Nangong Haotian.

As Nangong Haotian advanced, he took a closer look at the single courtyard and found that the courtyard wall was not high and made of round bricks with flower holes. Since there were no windows on the back wall of the house, the lights inside were not visible.

However, based on his experience of walking at night in the past few years, Nangong Haotian knew that there was still light in the upper room. After looking at the night sky, it was past midnight. According to conventional wisdom, Old Fahe should go to bed early at this time.

According to the silence in the courtyard, there can't be too many people inside. It's also possible that Old Fahe will be leaving tomorrow and is doing the final work of perfecting his cultivation.

After looking at the independent courtyard, he discovered that there was a moon-shaped round gate on the wall facing east. Nangong Haotian was moved by his heart when he saw it, and he walked towards the round gate.

Arriving at the door, the door was half open and there was no guard guarding it. Nangong Haotian frowned, stopped and glanced at Shangguan Xiaowan and Liu Qianwen who were following closely behind.

Liu Qianwen had already landed on the other side of the round door. She quietly looked inside and saw that inside the door was a neatly trimmed flower garden. The flower beds were paved with small pebbles. A wide artificial flower path led directly to the east wing.

back door.

The east wing has wide windows and flowered doors, and a red-painted building. Since the four floor-to-ceiling carved screen doors are closed, the furnishings and arrangements inside the room cannot be seen.

However, since the wide windows are all covered with white paper, it can be seen from the window paper of the wide windows that the lights are still on in the upper room in the middle.

Liu Qianwen finished reading, looked at Nangong Haotian and the six people, and whispered: "There are no guards inside, there may be someone in the upper room."

But the old head whispered: "The place where Old Fahe sits in prison should be heavily guarded to prevent anyone from disturbing it and going crazy. Why is it so lax?"

Xue Bing'er whispered: "Maybe old Fahe has left."

Shangguan Xiaowan said disapprovingly: "It really is the residence of old Fahe. Even if he left the house, there is no way he would not have left a guard at the side door."

Nangong Haotian said: "Maybe Old Fahe thinks that Houya has sent a lot of people and there is no need for guards in this place. Let's go in and take a look first!"

After saying this, he glanced into the courtyard, walked in, and arrived at the back porch of the east wing in one swift motion.

The single courtyard of Lao Fahe's monastery is surrounded by corridors connecting the front and back, and there are one bright and two dark wing rooms, with floor-to-ceiling carved screens and wide windows in the front and back. It looks grand, and the interior decoration must be luxurious.

Nangong Haotian pushed the screen door carelessly, and with a soft sound, the door opened a crack. Shangguan Xiaowan and others who followed him were shocked when they saw it, and they ducked to the left and right.

However, there was no movement in the unlit wing. Nangong Haotian guessed that there was no one in the room, so he gently opened the door and walked in.

Reflected by the light in the upper room, I found that the room was decorated with lacquered chairs, bright tables, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and the decoration was really good.

Aunt Shan and Gutou, who followed closely behind, knew that Shangguan, Liu, Wu and Xue were inconvenient to inspect the left and right inner rooms, so they quietly walked toward the left and right room doors respectively.

There were aqua blue curtains hanging on the doors to the left and right rooms. Gutou and Aunt Shan quietly lifted the curtains to take a look. They almost turned around and whispered: "Young Master, someone has slept in the bed. The bedding is messy. It seems that they just got up and went out.

soon."

Nangong Haotian said oh and walked towards the screen door in front of him in confusion, because the light on the door paper of the screen door in front was very bright, and it did not seem to be the light coming from the room.

When I walked to the screen door, I found that the door was still ajar, but Nangong Haotian and others poked a small hole in the door paper.

The seven people were distracted and looked outside, and found that the upper room was completely dark, but the west wing was brightly lit.

The two middle doors of the screen door of the west wing were wide open, and there were two gray-haired old men in strong clothes sitting on one side of the coffee table.

The old man on the right is wearing gray clothes, with a yellow face, a lion nose, and a pair of melon chain hammers hanging on his waist. He is thinking about something with a sad face.

The old man on the left is wearing yellow clothes, with thick eyebrows and a big mouth. Next to the coffee table is a pair of shining steel hooks for hand protection. He is also sitting on the chair with a solemn expression.

After Nangong Haotian finished reading, he turned back to look at Shangguan Xiaowan and the other six, and seemed to ask in confusion: "Strange, why are these two old men not wearing Taoist attire?"

"These two people may be old Fahe's cronies, and they are guarding the law there." Liu Qianwen whispered.

Gutou and Aunt Shan nodded in agreement.

Zhao Ling'er asked quietly in confusion: "You mean, old Fahe is in that house?"
