Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 245

Xin Ziqiu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and said with a half-smile:
"Really Lu, what do you mean, someone not only evaded the restriction of Taiyi Palace itself, but also hid everyone's divine sense detection, launched a sneak attack right under your noses, and seriously injured a person with a powerful treasure. the real fairy?"

Lu Tong was speechless, so he nodded.

Xin Ziqiu sighed, shook his head and said:

"It's because I don't want to believe in real people, but this matter is too bizarre. There are only a handful of people in the world who can do this. And I just came to ask for the treasure, and the treasure was lost. This is a bit too much." It was a coincidence."

He said this on purpose, looking aggressive, and wanted to test Lu Tong's reaction so as to verify his guess.

Xin Ziqiu learned these methods of interrogation and investigation from TV, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Lu Tong seemed very calm. Facing Xin Ziqiu's pressing questions, he didn't feel angry or flustered at all. Instead, he sighed and said:

"Things in this world are sometimes so coincidental. Moreover, Xiaoyou Xin thinks too highly of us. Although the four of us are called true immortals, we are actually close to the five declines of heaven and man. The dao embryo is withered, and our strength is stronger than that of ordinary people. Earth Immortals are just a little bit stronger. The world is so big, there are so many wonders, there are still some people who are far stronger than us."

Xin Ziqiu is not very good at observing words and expressions, and really can't tell if Lu Tong is hiding something, so he can only ask:

"Since that's the case, does Master Goubi have any enemies?"

Lu Tong smiled miserably:
"We have been trapped in the ancient tomb for a thousand years. Even if there are enemies, I am afraid they will all be dead long ago."

Xin Ziqiu nodded:
"Then according to Master Lu, who did this?"

Lu Tong smacked his lips in embarrassment:

"This... Xiaoyou Xin, do you know that the four of us escaped from Longhu Mountain?"

Xin Ziqiu let out a "hmm" and didn't answer.

Lu Tong and others fled from Longhu Mountain to the capital privately, and took refuge in the Taiyi Palace with the help of the royal power, which greatly offended the Taoist Master.

Therefore, if it is said that a strong man from Longhushan came to the capital to trouble the alchemists, or even beat him up to vent his anger, the motive would be reasonable.

However, Tianshidao is the leader of Taoism, even if he wants to take revenge, he should go to the door to challenge him in a legitimate way to win back his prestige. It is really illogical to sneak up on people like this and steal treasures and hurt people like this.

What's more, Lu Dongbin said that, apart from Mr. Xu Jing, Longhushan has no top alchemy masters who can come and go freely under the supervision of the gods of the earth.

However, the method of the talisman of the celestial master's way is very miraculous, and some special methods cannot be ruled out.

But the strangest thing is, since they have beaten people to serious injuries and robbed treasures, why do they have to keep them alive?
……

Seeing that Xin Ziqiu was silent, Lu Tong was just about to continue explaining, when a woman in palace attire rushed over in a panic, it was another alchemist, Tai Si.

Seeing Lu Tong here, she hurriedly said:

"What are you doing here? Come on! Something is wrong..."

Then, seeing Xin Ziqiu standing behind Lu Tong, he immediately covered his mouth and stopped talking.

Lu Tong said:

"Tai Si, Xiaoyou Xin is not an outsider. I have already told him everything, and you don't have to hide it. Is something wrong with Gou Bi?"

Then Tai Si said impatiently:

"Gou Bi's injuries are getting worse, and he's already unconscious. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive tonight."

Lu Tong frowned, sighed and said:
"Quick, take me to have a look!"

Said to Xin Ziqiu:
"Xin Xiaoyou, I know you don't want to trust me, but you might as well go and see Goubi's injury together, you will know that what I said is true."

Xin Ziqiu had this intention, so under the leadership of the two, he walked quickly to the Xuanxin Hall.

……

Full of doubts, Xin Ziqiu and the two alchemists walked through the huge and empty main hall and came to a secluded side hall.

From a long distance, he could smell a stench.

When I walked into it, I was even more shocked.

This place is three zhang square, and in the huge hall, there is only one couch and one futon.

I saw a young man lying on the couch, wearing expensive Chinese clothes, tall and thin, with fair skin, but his head was swollen like a big pumpkin, which was completely out of proportion to his body.

His face was also swollen like Zhu Bajie's, his eye sockets were sunken into the swollen flesh, and his eyelids drooped feebly. It was unclear whether he was unconscious or awake.

But the most frightening thing was his mouth, the two lips were like thick sausages, they were so swollen that they couldn't be closed together, the corners of the mouth were still dripping light yellow foam, which was very smelly.

Xin Ziqiu once saw this Goubi in the depths of the ancient tomb, but he was fighting with Jia Zhengliang's ghost talisman soldiers at that time, and he only had a quick glimpse, but he vaguely remembered that he was a handsome and suave young man, and he didn't know where he was hurt. Made it look like this.

At the same time, he let go of his divine sense, and immediately sensed that the aura in Goubi's body was extremely unstable, and the meridians around him were like a farmland after being ravaged by a strong wind, in a mess.

The most terrible thing is that the fire of this person's soul is as weak as a candle in the wind, and it may be extinguished at any time.

This cannot be faked.

Xin Ziqiu lowered his eyelids and fell into deep thought.

At first, he suspected that this was the alchemist's self-stealing, and he told a big lie in order to cover up people's eyes and ears and steal the treasure.

But looking at it now, Gou Bi's appearance is indeed not pretending, but really dying, his life is at stake.

If it is said that for a foreign treasure, tossing himself into such a state, the cost is too big.

Xin Ziqiu is also close to becoming an immortal now, and he understands the truth that the higher a cultivator goes, the less he will rely on treasures.

No matter how good the magic weapon is, it cannot help people condense the Tao embryo, cast the Yang God, and cultivate the Tao realm. In the final analysis, it is still something outside the body.

Gou Bi has practiced for thousands of years, so he doesn't even know such a simple truth. It is impossible for him to pay such a high price for a foreign object.

If the possibility of self-directing and self-acting is ruled out, is it true that there are really top powerhouses who don't know the basics?
Is it a powerful Taoist from Longhu Mountain who is greedy for treasures, or another "walker" whose identity is unknown?

But in any case, the most difficult thing to explain is why the murderer wanted to stay alive.

With Gou Bi's half-dead state now, he couldn't help being punched and kicked at all, why didn't he just kill him before leaving?

Is it for the purpose of spreading doubts and confusing the public, or is there another reason?
Without explaining this clearly, the case will definitely not be solved.

In his eyes, the whole matter became more and more confusing.

……

Lu Tong stood in front of the couch, smelled it carefully, sighed a long time, took out a green pill from his bosom, pried open Goubi's teeth with his hand, and stuffed it in for him.

After taking the pills, Goubi's stomach rumbled. He groaned twice, spit out two mouthfuls of foul-smelling saliva, moved slightly, and seemed to regain his energy.

When Tai Si saw Gou Bi move, she immediately said happily:
"Lu Tong, he's awake, he's awake!"

Lu Tong sighed:
"The 'Bi Qing Dan' I refined can only hang his life for the time being, but Goubi's Ren and Yang Wei channels are too damaged, and Qi and blood are stagnant in the brain. Will die soon."

Behind Lu Tong and Tai Si stood a thin and old alchemist Gong Yangquan. At this moment, he coughed lightly and said in a low voice:

"Fellow Daoist Lu, can that method still work?"
