Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 248 The Murderous Aura Makes Clouds at Three Occasions, and the Cold Voice Spreads Diao Dou Overnight
Taoist Xuancheng smacked his lips again and again when he heard the words, and his brows immediately twisted into the word "Chuan", looking very embarrassed:
"This one……"

Xin Ziqiu smiled and said:
"It's okay, if the Taoist priest has something to hide, then don't say it, I'm just curious about your thoughts, just ask casually."

Taoist Xuancheng sighed and said:
"Alas... there is a difference between immortals and mortals. A poor Taoist should not speak nonsense about these things, but since Xiaowei Xin asked, the poor Taoist has the courage to tell the truth once. There are three doubts about this matter..."

Then, he shook his whisk lightly, and expressed his opinion concisely:
"The first is how the murderer evaded all the monitoring measures of the Taiyi Palace and entered the Xuanxin Palace to commit murder and injure others.

"With the abilities of the four immortals, the only ones who can evade their spiritual detection are probably only those with great supernatural powers like Patriarch Chunyang, or immortals with special concealment methods, such as Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain who are good at talismans. In this way, The range of suspects is very small.

"Secondly, why did the murderer keep alive? Pindao has observed the injuries of Immortal Goubi, and they are indeed very serious. If an ordinary person with a mortal body were to encounter such injuries, he would have died long ago.

"In his state, even an ordinary person with a little martial arts can easily kill him. Since this murderer can injure the real Goubi, his cultivation level is obviously very high, and he should take his life before he leaves. It’s so easy, but he didn’t do it, presumably there are other deep meanings, but the reason for this... Pindao just can’t figure it out.”

"The third is why the murderer singled out the real Goubi. Generally speaking, the motive for hurting people is nothing more than two reasons, one is to seek revenge, and the other is to seek money.

"Reverend Goubi has stayed in the ancient tomb for a thousand years, and he won't have too many enemies. If the mages from Longhu Mountain come to take revenge, then all four alchemists should be punished, not just him. This possibility Sex is not big.

"And if it's not seeking revenge, it may be for stealing treasures. Only in this way can it be explained. If Lieutenant Xin wants to follow the clues to find the criminal, he might as well start with the lost treasure and think about who really wanted it. treasure."

Xin Ziqiu listened to Taoist Xuancheng's words, smiled slightly, and praised:
"Wearing the king's words is better than reading ten years of books. The Taoist master only listened to the narration of the real Taisi in a few words, and he knew the ins and outs of this matter very well, and he was able to analyze it in every detail, which was reasonable. He even found out It is really remarkable that he has set the direction to solve the case.

"Master Bao is now in the time of employing people. Daoist might as well think about it. Joining the Kaifeng Mansion will surely have a bright future."

Xuan Cheng smiled awkwardly:
"Xin Xiaowei, don't be joking. Pindao has the inheritance of Jingzimen, so he understands people's hearts better than ordinary people, but how can he dare to compare with the experienced knights in Kaifeng's mansion?"

The two were talking, and they had already walked to the edge of the famous Hongqiao in Bianliang City. Xin Ziqiu hugged Taoist Xuancheng and said:

"I still have to go back to Kaifeng Mansion to report to my orders, so why not leave here. Thank you, Daoist, for your help with today's matter. We all have important matters to attend to, and we will meet again some other day."

Taoist Xuancheng slapped him, said a few nice words, and then drifted away.

Xin Ziqiu looked at his back with meaningful eyes.

This Taoist is indeed not simple. The three doubts he mentioned are similar to what he thought at the beginning, and coincide with each other.

However, Xin Ziqiu has different assumptions and explanations for these three doubts.

This trip to Taiyi Palace was not in vain. Regarding the whole matter, he already had a general outline, but firstly, there was no definite evidence, and secondly, there were still many details that lacked a perfect explanation. It is still too early to draw conclusions. too early.

Although he is not a professional judiciary, he also understands that reasoning alone cannot convict people.If you want to confirm the identity of the murderer and find the treasure, you can only see how the situation develops first, and get more clues and evidence, so as to avoid alarming the enemy.

Moreover, he had to consult Lu Dongbin and Zhong Liquan for some matters.

……

Xin Ziqiu went to Kaifeng Mansion first, and briefly told everyone about the trip to Taiyi Palace.

When Jiang Ping and Zhan Zhao heard that Gongyang Quan was willing to go to Tongtian Arena to challenge Wu Shengren, they were very satisfied.

In their hearts, alchemists who lived from the pre-Qin period to the present are naturally extremely powerful gods, and they must be able to catch a warrior who is "only" a hundred years old.

With Tong Tianlei found, everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion was overjoyed, and they were full of praise for Xiaowei Xin.

Naturally, Xin Ziqiu would not take the credit for himself, and honestly said that this was the face of Taoist Xuancheng, and everyone was amazed when they heard it.

I didn't expect this little disciple of the martial sage to dare to do so many things behind his master's back, let alone his friendship with the four alchemists was so deep.

……

By the time Xin Ziqiu left the yamen and returned to Jia's mansion, it was almost dusk. After having dinner with Jia Xian and Jia Zhiqing, he returned to the room alone, but saw a letter written next to his desk. A note, scrawled on it:

"At midnight tonight, see you in Vagrant Street."

A curved crescent is drawn below.

Xin Ziqiu knew that this was the sign of the bright moon.

It seems that this witch has deep grievances with the Huangquan clan. I originally gave her three days to attract the elders of the Huangquan clan, but it took her less than a day.

This is probably being targeted as soon as it shows up.

He rubbed it casually, crushed the letter paper into fine powder, and then seized the time to meditate and rest.

The remaining three elders of the Huangquan Clan are not weak, especially the Great Elder, who is said to have the strength of an Earth Immortal, if they cannot reach an agreement tonight, it might be a fierce battle, he must first recharge his batteries just do.

……

It was night, in a certain inner hall of Taiyi Palace.

The thin old man, Gong Yangquan, was sitting on the futon, his heart turned upside down, and he was meditating.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said coldly:
"What are you doing here?"

As his voice fell, a man in black slowly walked out of the shadows, his entire face was hidden in the darkness, and his face could not be seen clearly.

The visitor said slowly in an old voice:

"I'm still worried about something, and I want to discuss it with you."

Gong Yangquan stood up, frowned and said:
"We have already discussed everything. Everything is safe. What else can we discuss? Lu Dongbin and Zhong Liquan may monitor this place at any time. Aren't you afraid that they will find out your whereabouts and become suspicious? Why don't you leave quickly?"

The man in black took a few steps forward and came to Gong Yangquan.

At this time, there was a flash of lightning outside, and the fleeting light illuminated his wrinkled, old face full of vicissitudes.

The man in black's voice was slightly hoarse, and he whispered in Gong Yangquan's ear:

"What are you afraid of? Taiyi Palace is a royal garden, even if you are a real immortal in the upper cave, you have to take care of the face of the emperor of Song Dynasty, and dare not randomly explore here."

Ram shook his head:

"Then there's no need to take this risk. Tell me, what else do you worry about?"

The man in black patted Ram Quan on the shoulder:

"You're so smart, why didn't you think there was a big flaw in the plan?"

Gongyang Quan was taken aback when he heard the words, and his face suddenly became solemn:

"Where is the flaw?"

Just when he was distracted by the man in black's words and fell into deep thought, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest.

Immediately afterwards, waves of powerful and domineering real qi invaded his body, frantically tearing his meridians to pieces, making Gong Yangquan feel a heart-piercing pain, and couldn't help but shout out.

But at this moment, his mouth and nose were tightly blocked by one hand, and he couldn't even make a sound.

"The flaw is you..."

The man in black spoke softly, and pressed the spasming ram against the wall with all his strength, and pulled out the short knife stuck in his heart with his other hand, looked into his eyes coldly, admiring the continuous Changing doubts, resentment and despair, until the pair of eyes became dazed, then let go of the hand, allowing the corpse to slide slowly from the wall.

Outside the window, thunder exploded.

The man in black put away his dagger, looked indifferently at the scarlet blood flowing out from under Gong Yangquan's body, confirmed that he was dead, then turned and left, disappearing into the shadows.

At the same time, a torrential rain that had been brewing all day finally poured down...
