Wanderer of the whirling world

Chapter 258 Even if there are thousands of tricks, how can I avoid being abrupt?

When Shan Enlong heard the voice, he immediately wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, reluctantly cupped his hands at Xin Ziqiu, and walked back to his own stand resentfully.

Xin Ziqiu looked at the person who spoke, and saw that it was a monk with a fleshy face and a very ferocious face, as if he had been carved out of the same mold as this "Tianchi dragon".

The monk called Shan Enlong back, but he stepped onto the stage slowly and said coldly to Xin Ziqiu:

"The poor monk Huiyuan comes from the Jinding Tilu Temple in Xiaoxitian, Liaodong. My apprentice is not good at learning, which made Mr. Xin laugh. The poor monk is the official of the third level. I will ask Mr. Xin to give me some advice."

He said polite words, but his tone was aggressive and harsh, and he challenged Xin Ziqiu nakedly.

Xin Ziqiu had heard of Xiao Xitian, which was the ashram of Elder Gu Yue, the master of Yinguang. It seemed that this monk Huiyuan was probably Gu Yue's apprentice.

These people are all masters representing Daliao, especially Master Yinguang, who is known as the number one master in Liaodong. The head of the gate is Purdue.

If Xin Ziqiu can reach the fifth level, he will naturally meet these master-level figures.

But now he has seen too many strong men, he didn't take this person seriously at all, let alone Gu Yue's apprentice, even if Master Yin Guang came here in person, at best, he was just a mortal martial artist who was close to an immortal Master, what's the big deal?

So he said with a smile:
"Grand Monk, there are still many people here who want to make trouble for me, please line up first."

As soon as these words came out, a burst of laughter burst out among the surrounding people.

Someone shouted:
"Our Master Xin is fighting Wu Shengren and the Golden Lantern Sword, what kind of onion are you, monk, hurry up and cool off..."

Huiyuan was so angry with Xin Ziqiu's words, his face turned red and turned pale, his fat body trembled wildly, he pointed at him and said:
"Okay...ok...you little boy doesn't know the heights of the heavens and the earth, how long will the poor monk see you can be arrogant and domineering?"

Said and walked away.

Xin Ziqiu didn't bother to care about such second-rate people, so he walked straight to the north stand, saluted the martial arts seniors, and sat next to Xu Liang, Bai Yunsheng and others.

Xu Liang patted Xin Ziqiu on the shoulder and asked with concern:

"Xiaoqiu, where have you been for the past two days? Why haven't you shown up? Have you encountered any difficulties? If you have any problems, you must tell your brothers, don't be polite."

Xin Ziqiu shook his head, and found an excuse to get by.

He couldn't tell the experience in the cave, not because he couldn't trust his friends, but these secrets involved too much, far beyond the scope of ordinary people's comprehension.

It's not good for Xu Liang and the others to know more, but it may lead to death.

These matters can only be handled by top experts like Lu Dongbin and Zhong Liquan.

He changed the subject and asked:
"Third Brother, the alchemists didn't come, have you heard what happened in Taiyi Palace?"

Xu Liang shook his head:

"Taiyi Palace is a royal garden, and you can't enter it without an invitation. Even if something happens inside, it's not up to our Kaifeng Mansion to take care of it. But the alchemists are all immortals, who can do anything to them? I guess , probably these people are still unwilling to show their faces, which is normal and not a big deal."

Bai Yunsheng also echoed:
"That's right, immortals are not Chinese cabbage, so it's not so easy to invite them. But the old swordsman Zhang Pu and the four great swordsmen are here, they can deal with Xia Suiliang and Yu He, Xiao Qiu, you don't have to worry."

Xin Ziqiu nodded, but didn't say much.

Purdue may have stepped into the innate realm with one foot, but he may not be the opponent of Wu Shengren.

However, there is no need to speak out about these things, as it will hit everyone's confidence for nothing.

Besides, he has also prepared some ways to deal with Yu He.

At this moment, Xin Ziqiu noticed that Taoist Xuancheng had stood up, walked quietly to the stands, and even took a sneak peek.

He immediately understood, found an excuse to bid farewell to Xiao Wuyi's brothers temporarily, got off the stands, and got into the crowd of spectators.

And his hand was put into his bosom, touching the jade flying sword that Lu Dongbin gave...

……

Not long after, in a dark and hidden alley.

Taoist Xuancheng looked solemn:

"Senior Gongyang was killed..."

He observed Xin Ziqiu's expression calmly and was not moved at all, he couldn't help being surprised and said:
"Could it be that Xin Dutong already knew?"

Xin Ziqiu shook his head:
"I haven't been in the city for the past two days, so I don't know anything about Taiyi Palace. When did this happen? How did Gongyangquan die?"

Taoist Xuancheng said:

"Senior Gongyang was killed by someone. The person who killed him was very clean and sharp, and he was fatal with one knife. It seems that he was definitely not an ordinary person. It happened on the night we visited Taiyi Palace.

"More than that, just yesterday, Senior Tai Si also disappeared. Currently only two seniors, Lu Tong and the injured Gou Bi, remain in Xuanxin Hall."

Xin Ziqiu frowned slightly:
"Such a big event happened in Taiyi Palace, doesn't the court ignore it?"

Taoist Xuancheng said:

"The officials introduced the four alchemists as honored guests, and the city has been full of storms. Now, among the men, women and children in Bianliang City, who doesn't know that there are genuine gods in the Taiyi Palace? But it has only been a few months, and one has died and one has been injured. If it is spread, people who don't know the inside story will think that the so-called gods are just charlatans, and the officials' face will not be good.

"Besides, ordinary arresters are useless for this kind of thing, so the court simply kept it secret, and even Kaifeng Mansion didn't know about it."

Xin Ziqiu hugged his shoulders and said:

"So that's it, who does the priest think is the murderer?"

Taoist Xuancheng pondered for a while and said:
"Pindao thought about it, and now I feel that the possibility of seeking revenge is relatively high. Maybe a certain strong man in Longhu Mountain was angry with several alchemists and went down the mountain privately, chasing and killing them."

Xin Ziqiu smiled slightly:
"Daozhang, you didn't say that before."

Taoist Xuancheng nodded:

"In the past, only senior Goubi was attacked by surprise among the four people. Pindao felt that if the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain made a move, they should be treated equally and should not only punish one person, so he rejected this idea. But now, it seems that Those who attacked them didn't just target Senior Goubi, but wanted to defeat them one by one."

Xin Ziqiu blinked:

"The Daoist is so sure, it wasn't the hands of their own infighting? Anyone who can kill Gongyangquan with a knife must be several times stronger than him, or he is an acquaintance who committed the crime. I think the missing Taisi is very suspicious. Look at it." It looks a lot like fleeing in fear of crime after committing a murder."

The corner of Taoist Xuancheng's mouth twitched, and the scar on his left cheek also twisted slightly, and he said after a while:

"What Xin Dutong said is also reasonable, but if Senior Tai Si committed the murder, what is the motive? The four of them have lived together in the ancient tomb for thousands of years. If there is any life-and-death enmity, I am afraid they would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"

Xin Ziqiu smiled, waved his hands and said:
"I'm just guessing casually, why should the Taoist take it seriously? You asked me out on purpose, do you want me to help investigate this case? To be honest, I have no friendship with the alchemists, and I am not the arrester who decides the case." Hurry up, his cultivation base is even more mediocre, and he really doesn't want to interfere in this matter, just to cause trouble for himself.

"No matter what the murderer's identity is, he must be a cruel and merciless person. I advise the Taoist priest not to get too deep, lest he bring himself a murderous disaster."

Taoist Xuancheng heard the words and said quickly:

"Don't misunderstand Xin Dutong, Pindao never wants to involve you in this matter. However, Pindao has a very good friendship with the four seniors, and I really can't bear to see them being killed for nothing. Pindao knows that Xin Dutong and Chunyang The Patriarch is quite friendly, and I would like to ask you to bring a message to his old man, if Senior Chunyangzi is willing to take action, he will surely find out the culprit behind the scenes, and give justice to the alchemists."

Xin Ziqiu sighed:
"The Daoist is the real Bo Yuntian. I should try my best to help you with this matter, but Daoist Lu and Daoist Zhongli have other important matters at present, and they are not in Bianliang City. I am afraid there is nothing I can do to help."

After hearing Xin Ziqiu's words, Taoist Xuancheng flashed a relieved look on his face, and then said with a bitter face:
"Oh, it turned out to be such an unfortunate coincidence. If the two patriarchs were not around, the matter would be difficult. Even if the real culprit is found, no one can do anything to catch him."

Xin Ziqiu nodded:
"That's exactly the case, so it's best for the Taoist priest to stay out of the matter, so as not to cause trouble for the upper body. The murderer has great powers, and even the alchemists are not all-in-one enemies. We are here to discuss this matter. Maybe he has already been targeted by him, or Be careful."

Taoist Xuancheng's face changed slightly, he waved his right hand, and said:

"Xin Dutong is right, it's poor Daoist who is being rude, so I'm leaving now. But before leaving, there is one more thing that needs to be told to Xin Dutong.

"My senior brother Xia Suiliang has heard the slander of the reclining Buddha Kunlun monk, and has already regarded you as the murderer who killed Ding Ping. I am afraid that it will not be good for you to arrange people in the ring. I also ask Xin Dutong to be careful. It is best to find someone to kill Ding Ping." Excuse me to quit the group arena, so as not to be harmed by others."

Xin Ziqiu knew it well, no wonder the Golden Lantern Swordsman looked at him so sharply just now, it turned out that it was all caused by Ding Ping's asshole master Kunlun monk.

He smiled brightly, with no fear on his face:

"Thank you, Daoist, for telling the truth, but I've made up my mind about the arena. If Brother wants to play any tricks, just let the horse come over, and I will accompany you to the end."

Taoist Xuancheng sneered:
"This...Actually, Pindao is one of the eight officials guarding the fourth pass. If Xin Dutong comes to attack, you might as well choose Pindao to fight, which will ensure your safe promotion."

Upon hearing this, Xin Ziqiu said noncommittally:

"Let's talk if I can make it to the fourth level."

Taoist Xuancheng made a speech:
"In this case, Pindao will leave first, Xin Dutong, please take care."

Xin Ziqiu nodded and watched Taoist Xuancheng turn and leave. His figure disappeared at the end of the alley and disappeared into the bustling crowd.

He stood there, and after a long while, he suddenly opened his mouth and said:

"What do the two seniors think?"

As the words fell, the space here was distorted like water ripples, and three figures appeared out of thin air, standing behind Xin Ziqiu.

The two leaders are Lu Dongbin with a sword on his back, and Zhongliquan with a plantain fan.

And in the middle of them stood a beauty in a palace costume with her head bowed.

It was the "missing" alchemist.

Tai Si...
