ask the mirror

Chapter 52 Restoration

Ming Lan shook her head slightly: "I don't like these dead things, I just took a cursory look at them, and I can see them more carefully than Monk Cheng Yan, you can ask him. I'm just curious. How did it come about?"

The implication of Master Ming's words is that in the boundary of the cliff city, there has been no casual cultivator who dared to slap the White Sun Mansion in the face for decades. What kind of capital does that guy named Yu Ci have to dare to do so? What happened?

Is it Lichen sect?

Even if Cheng Rong had already dealt with Yu Ci on this issue, he couldn't draw a conclusion lightly.He could only rely on sin and walk over there.

By the stream where nine people lay their corpses, Guanshi Huang had seen Cheng Rong approaching, he couldn't tell what expression he had on his face, he could only tense his face, and cupped his hands as a greeting.Cheng Rong responded with a smile. This attitude made Huang Guanshi's face darker.

The enmity between Bairi Mansion and Wanlingmen has lasted for decades.Taking advantage of the "special authority" to suppress the only enemy that can pose a threat to it, the Bairi Mansion suppresses the only enemy that can pose a threat to it, so that Wanlingmen Kong has a powerful strength second only to the Bairi Mansion, so it can only retreat with hatred. On the outskirts of Cliff City, the business is bleak.In this context, the two parties cannot be said to be irreconcilable, nor will they save any face for each other.

When Cheng Rong wanted to go up and "ask about the health" further, Guanshi Huang walked away with a dark face.Cheng Rong had no choice but to press his regret, and lowered his head to carefully inspect the condition of the corpse by the stream.After only a few probes, he tightened the hem of his clothes, and when he looked back, he found that the little girl ran over boldly, but was frightened by the miserable scene in front of him.

"My sister-in-law 'grandma' 'grandma'!"

Cheng Rong wanted to cover Jiu Yatou's eyes, but she avoided her.The little girl squinted her eyes, wanted to look but didn't dare to look, so she hid behind Cheng Rong, and when she gathered up enough courage, she poked her head to take a look again, and she got used to it after doing it three times.

"Follow you!" Although Cheng Rong felt it was inappropriate, he didn't want to get used to a shameless young lady who came out, so he could only glance at it briefly, holding the little girl's hand, and walked to the corpse farthest from the stream. forward.

The body belonged to Sloan.At this time, sitting cross-legged in front of the corpse was the monk Cheng Yan of the water purification altar.

The corpse that was blown off half of its body was definitely not an eye-catching scene.This scene finally exceeded Jiu Yatou's tolerance limit, the little girl exclaimed, and quickly buried her head on Cheng Rong's back, not daring to poke it out no matter what.

Even Cheng Rong, who was surprised by blood, didn't really like the shape of this corpse. I really don't know what kind of thoughts Monk Zheng Yan is holding, sitting here and not leaving.He shook his head and asked directly: "Master Zheng Yan, do you have any income?"

The monk sitting cross-legged in front of the corpse smiled slightly, and raised his thin head: "It turns out that he is the benefactor. I heard that this murderous junior has something to do with Li Chenzong?"

Seen by the monk's dim eyes, Cheng Rong frowned unconsciously.I really don't understand what is the method of the water purification altar. Except for the presiding monk Yi Xin, all the successful monks have the appearance of this poisonous snake, and they are all similar from the inside to the outside.If it weren't for the years of acquaintance, it would be difficult for Cheng Rong to distinguish the features of these monks at first glance.

Cheng Rong was vague about Cheng Yan's question.The two sects came to the Rift Valley for the same thing. In a sense, it is also the nature of an ally. However, for a "resource" like Yu Ci, if there is one less person to share, it is better to have one less. good.Cheng Rong was more interested in Yu Ci's strength:

"Master Zheng Yan, what did you see?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that this kid named Yu Ci is not simple."

Zheng Yan stood up, whispered the Buddha's name in a very serious manner, and then grinned again: "Cheng benefactor will understand after looking at it. The two stewards and seven personal guards died more quickly than the other. Thinking about it, Yu Ci did the same thing last night." Chopping melons and chopping vegetables is like chopping vegetables, so let's take care of these people... When did the elite of Bairi Mansion become the meat of scallops, so that people can cut them up when they want?"

Hearing this, Cheng Rong didn't do anything, but the little girl behind him poked her head out curiously, but when she met Zheng Yan's dim eyes, she backed away in fright, but pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

Cheng Rong saw it carelessly just now, and was very surprised when he heard the words: "Cut melons and vegetables?"

Zheng Yan laughed softly: "Si Long can't see clearly, go to the stream and look at the three unlucky ghosts who died in the same way. I bet the Buddha that those three were beheaded in one fell swoop within half a breath. Yes, tsk, how to die..."

Cheng Rong was curious, so he took two quick steps, and when he arrived at the side of the three dead bodies that the monk said, he took a deep look, and immediately gasped:

"What a sharp sword energy!"

At this time, the upper body clothes of the three corpses were all untied, revealing their bare chests.Cheng Rong could clearly see that except for the area in the middle of the chest of the three of them, which was fairly clean, there were dense blood spots all over their upper bodies, and some places with thinner flesh even cracked open like a baby. Small mouth, looks very permeable.

"The sword energy penetrates from the chest, and when it enters, it is silent, subtle and mysterious. When it reaches the body, it explodes violently, washing all the internal organs and six internal organs of the whole body from the inside out, and the blood and qi are agitated. The hole sprayed out, extinguishing the vitality, it was extremely ruthless. Especially the three shots of this sword, almost in no particular order, caused the same effect, hehe!"

Monk Chengyan's Sisi laughter sounded uncomfortable, but it was in line with the atmosphere in front of him: "Just this sword, counting those big men, the amount that Cliff City can use is no more than five fingers. No, even if it is cultivated Can keep up, who can drive such a fierce sword energy?"

"Probably only Mr. Mingyue."

Cheng Rong was referring to Lu Mingyue, the No. 1 casual cultivator in Cliff City.This person's cultivation level of Huan Dan is at the first level, and he should be ranked outside the top five in the cliff city, but his swordsmanship of "a thousand threads of intent" is the real No. 1 in the cliff city, and his combat power is quite terrifying.Cheng Rong also knew that it was absurd to compare Lu Mingyue, but he couldn't find a more suitable candidate for a while.

"Mr. Mingyue's master apprentice, Junior Brother Lu Qu can do it reluctantly. However, there is one thing, he absolutely can't make you look at the traces by the stream."

Cheng Rong is also a person with a clear mind and a bright eye. He was reminded by the monk Zheng Yan, and he soon noticed the problem shown by the clues by the stream.

"Seven people form a battle formation, the sword qi gathers together, but someone seizes the opportunity just before the meeting, and kills them with a single sword. The so-called Paoding Jieniu is nothing more than that."

Zheng Yan's slender eyes narrowed even more, and the cold light was like a thorn: "I know Lu Qu's cultivation level very well. He can kill all seven people in this battle head-on, but he can't do it so lightly." Freehand. Lu Qu has followed Mr. Mingyue for nearly 50 years, and he is already a yin god, not much worse than me. What is the origin of that Yu Ci?"

It was already the second person to ask this question, and Cheng Rong still had trouble answering it.Although he met Yu Ci once and had some exchanges, he suddenly felt that maybe he was more confused than Ming Lan and Zheng Yan.The Yu Ci he saw, and the image of Yu Ci displayed by the nine corpses at this time, it is difficult to match the name.

Obviously, when they met before, he still underestimated Yu Ci's judgment.This is not surprising. On Wanlingmen's side, Yu Ci's connection with Lichen Sect was the most important thing, but his personal strength was unconsciously neglected. Now it seems that such preconceived ideas are really undesirable.

Monk Zhengyan was still in a state of excitement, and pointed to the place where Sloan's body lay dead: "That's not all, have you seen the soft armor that Sloan is wearing? That soft armor is a high-quality item from the Xinxin Pavilion." 'color', I also have a similar one. Concentrating true energy, it can withstand three layers of black iron heavy armor. Ordinary people can't do anything about it, but now it is blown to pieces by half of the body... The wound ,how do you feel?"

"The penetrating zhenqi is strong, which is what it should be, but the firepower that explodes, is it the Nine Yang Talisman Sword or the Pure Yang Talisman Sword?" Cheng Rong also showed his vision, so as not to be underestimated by Zheng Yan.The two looked at each other and both laughed.This matter is really interesting.

Among the existing forces in Cliff City, there are only five that can be put on the table.In order of power, they are Bairi Mansion, Wanlingmen, Xuanyin Sect, Purifying Water Altar, and Wushengjianmen.Among them, the Wusheng Sword Sect is in a special situation, with a very small population. There are only thirteen people including the head of the sect. Under the government's wings.

Among the other three sects, the Xuanyin Sect is an outsider with a strong background, but what they want is the incense of the common people, and they rarely have disputes with other sects, occupying a neutral position.As for the Wanling Gate and the Water Purification Altar, one has a long-standing grudge with the Bairi Mansion, and the other is rebellious, and it is impossible for them to have a good relationship with the Bairi Mansion, and their strength is relatively inferior, so they naturally connect with each other , can be regarded as a tacit ally.

The situation in the Cliff City is probably like this. Generally speaking, the Bairi Mansion has the qualifications to acquiesce from the Lichen Sect.The Wanling Gate and the Water Purification Altar are also very aggrieved on weekdays, and it is rare to see the Bairi Mansion suffer a loss, so how can they not be happy?

At this time, Jiu Yatou pulled Cheng Rong's hem again: "Uncle Cheng, what is that man over there doing?"

Cheng Rong turned his head back as he said, and the purpose of entering was another steward named Liu Siwei who was present in Bairi Mansion.This person was sitting cross-legged on the other side of the creek, with a mirror-like object on his knees. It was so dark that it seemed to be made of black iron, even the mirror surface was no exception.At this time, Liu Siwei was pinching the Yin Jue in his hand, and he was chanting words, and he was far away, and he couldn't hear what he was chanting clearly.

"This is……"

"This is a strange weapon from the White Sun Mansion, the soul-searching mirror. According to legend, it is imitated from a very powerful magic weapon, which can absorb the remnant souls of the dead. After a period of warming, it can sense the resentment of the dead. It can guide the murderer’s direction and has the effect of preserving and refining the soul. It is also a good magic weapon. But whether it will succeed in the end depends on whether the deceased has deep resentment or not. Of course, a little luck is also required.”
