Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 105
As soon as she finished speaking, a rough and old voice said: "Little Waffle is right, this knife is a knife that kills people, and no one who sees it will end well."

Unexpectedly, there was actually another person here. We followed the prestige and saw a huge stone in the huge space behind the Gongtai. An old man with white hair and a strong body was sitting in the middle of the stone, looking at us with piercing eyes. .

There is only one possibility of people appearing in this kind of place, they are people from the Tianling clan. We immediately became alert and retreated involuntarily. The old man stretched out his left hand and said to us: "Give me the knife."

I immediately put the knife back into the scabbard, and said, "Why did I give it to you? Who are you? Why are you here?"

The old man stood up, his clothes were tattered, he didn't know how long he had been here, he walked to the back of the tribute platform in a few steps, and now he could see more clearly, he saw that his jaw was covered with white beards, one by one. Like needles, the hair is long and thick. If most people have such a thick beard and hair, they may not be able to see their faces clearly. However, this person's face is very big, and his nose and eyes can be seen clearly. It looks old like hair and has no wrinkles, but I always feel familiar when I look at it, as if I have seen it somewhere.

He is very tall, about two meters tall, and his arms are as thick as my waist. God knows how strong this man is. He didn't answer my question, and once again stretched out his left hand and said to me: "Give me the knife." .”

Just as I was about to speak, Yang Chenglong interjected: "You have been here for such a long time, haven't you seen enough of this knife?"

The old man looked at us one by one and said, "Who are you dolls? How did you come to this place?
Yang Chenglong said: "We are entrusted by someone to investigate the matter here, may I ask who you are?"

The old man frowned and said: "Which person who had the guts to ask you to come here to do things, you don't want to live, and you little girl, are you Dawen?"

Ashe said: "Yes."

The old man nodded and said: "This Qiu Yin is almost mature, and you can control it at your age. I think you are not an ordinary person. Your father should be named Qiu, right?"

We looked at each other and didn't know how to answer the old man's words. The old man grinned and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I can guess that the little girl must be Qiu Qingyue's daughter. Come back to investigate the cause of her father's death." Here comes, and one more thing, you should have been picked up by Wang Hao, am I right?"

He actually knew it clearly, as if he had seen everything with his own eyes. Axue said respectfully: "Grandpa, may I ask who you are, I am indeed Qiu Qingyue's daughter: Qiu Xue, and I came back this time to investigate the cause of my father's death." Yes, we came to this place to be instructed by someone, but we didn't know there would be someone in it."

The old man said: "Of course you don't know that there will be people in the well. This is the truth that the Tianling clan has been trying to cover up."

A Xue said: "But why are you here, do you know my father?"

After hearing this sentence, the old man's expression became complicated. He sighed and said, "Of course I know you. Your father is my best friend."

Ah Xue's expression changed drastically immediately and she said, "Are you Grandpa Lingwang?"

17. Peacock Spirit King
The old man said: "You finally remembered me. Although you were not very old when your family had an accident, you should remember things and have an impression of me."

A Xue said: "That's right, I do remember you. You gave me a peacock when I was young, but it was killed by the people of the Sky Spirit Clan."

The old man said with a gloomy expression: "Yeah, I didn't expect that more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Does anyone in the Tianling clan remember me, the Peacock Spirit King?"

A Xue said: "You are the greatest warrior of the Tianling clan, of course you will not be forgotten, but I heard that you also joined the ranks of chasing us, I didn't expect it to be a rumor."

The old man snorted coldly and said, "Of course they want to spread rumors about me. If it weren't for this despicable method, the big ax would have ceased to exist long ago, and my group of subordinates are all worthless things."

It seems that the Peacock Spirit King knows what we are suspicious of outside, but we are not sure if we will make him wary if we ask hastily, we just listen to the Peacock Spirit King continue: "Is the dolls under my hands all right now? ?”

Cursing or scolding, he still misses his subordinates, Ashe said: "It should be all right, but Le Qi and the other two died at the hands of the demons."

The old man suddenly turned his head to Ashe and said, "What, Le Qi is dead?"

A Xue immediately told him the cause and effect of Le Qi's death, the old man's face gradually changed, and then his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, he shook his head slightly and said: "This idiot, doesn't he understand that he is actually sending himself to die by doing this? "

A Xue said: "Grandpa Lingwang, if you haven't gone back for such a long time, don't you miss your subordinates and relatives?"

The old man didn't answer the question and said a third time: "Give me the knife."

Knowing his identity, we gave him the knife, and the old man took it and looked at it carefully: "I have been here for decades, and all I do is this knife."

We were all taken aback, Yang Chenglong said: "Is there something special about this knife, is it worth guarding here for someone like you?"

Peacock Spirit King said: "This is the legendary magic knife. The Yin-Yang Scholar used it to kill the Dragon Prince. From the time of the holy war until today, the bones of the Dragon Prince have always been preserved here, and have not been discovered by outsiders. "

We were so startled that we couldn't speak. We looked at the huge dragon bone in front of us, and saw the huge dragon skull right in front of us. Where the eyeballs should have been, there were only two holes facing us in a daze. , let us shudder.

Peacock Spirit King said: "When the holy war ends, it is the beginning of a new round of holy war. We human beings have suffered a lot because of neglecting this point, and we can't repeat the mistakes of the past. And this magic knife belongs to the demon race. It symbolizes that if their power returns again, this knife will be the first thing they want to grab, and keeping it is the first warning line."

A Xue said: "Grandpa Lingwang, is this the secret you mentioned at the beginning?"

The old man said: "Why did Wang Hao let you take such a big risk, do you know?"

A Xue said: "He said it to let me find out the truth, which may be related to my father."

The old man nodded thoughtfully and said: "Wang Hao is really loyal to your father. The last time he was alone in Fan Xian, he almost died at the mouth of Qiu Yin. If it weren't for me, he would have been gone long ago. I didn't expect to give you to him." I got it back, but this kid is too stubborn to do things, I told him not to rush to do these things, but he just didn't listen, always thinking of avenging your father's grievances, is this possible?"

Axue was a little surprised and said, "You mean he came down before?"

The old man said: "Of course he has been here, otherwise how would he know that I am here, and how would he let you come over? No one will do things that are not sure, but he may be disappointed. Regarding the inside story of your father's death, I Not a single word will come out."

A Xue said: "Why, aren't you my father's friend?"

The old man stared at him and said: "Of course it is. Lingwang's friend is a lifelong friend, and he will not change just because he is gone. I should have an obligation to take care of you, but I can't go out by myself now, so Powerless."

Yang Chenglong said: "Grandpa Lingwang, can't you tell the truth? Maybe we can help you?"

The old man chuckled arrogantly and said, "What a joke, even the peacock spirit king can't do it. Could it be that you can do it with a doll? Could it be that you are better than me?"

Yang Chenglong hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, I mean..."

The old man waved his hand and interrupted him: "I don't care what you mean, no one can teach the King of Souls how to do things, you should first understand this before talking to me."

I secretly pinched Yang Chenglong and signaled him to shut up. Yang Chenglong understood, and immediately said respectfully: "Grandfather Lingwang, don't be as knowledgeable as I am, I am open-minded."

Peacock Spirit King said: "It's a good thing that you know yourself, and I don't blame you, but I have never done anything according to other people's wishes in my life, except for Wuhua God of War."

Having said that, he paused for a moment before saying to A Xue: "If He Kangtian's son is still alive, he should be older than you. It's a pity that he is gone."

Speaking of this, my expression was a bit depressed. I knew that He Zhuang's father died at his hands, so it was impossible to tell him about He Zhuang, but I didn't expect that Axue would say this incident casually. After a change, he laughed loudly, beat his chest and stomped his feet with a straight smile: "God opens his eyes, God opens his eyes, no wonder He's name is Kangtian, it turns out that he really has the ability to resist fate."

A Xue said: "The meaning of your words is..."

Peacock Spirit King said: "Before, I thought that Mr. He and his family were all dead, but I didn't expect that there is still a son left in the world. That's very, very good."

I said: "I heard that you killed the He family. How do you hear this mean that you don't understand this matter?"

The old man was obviously in a much better mood at this time, he pushed his hair back, and said: "Of course you dolls don't know about this, how can I kill Mr. He, he is the elder of the long knife, actually Long knives were originally the most powerful group in the Quartet. It can be seen from the fact that they can still occupy a place after the death of He Laokai, and my big ax has been in a slump since I disappeared. If you are careful enough, you should be able to think of this. The old monster's ability is the most powerful among the four of us, even if he may not be able to beat me, but I will definitely not be able to beat him, saying that I killed him is a fool who was deceived but didn't know it."

I said: "But the legends we have heard say that you were ordered by the Wuhua God of War to kill Elder He?"

The old man said: "So it is a legend. Since it is told by a human being, of course there will be lies mixed in it. I am not afraid to tell you that Mr. He and his wife did not die at my hands. When I received this order, I hesitated. After walking over again and again, they didn't even bring an ax, but the two of them had been murdered, and my ax was in their room. When I walked into the room, the people who cleaned up the corpses came in, and then some people suddenly Show up, pick me up, I don't know anything about what happened after that, I only know that I have made great achievements because of this thing that I didn't do anything."

We were all dumbfounded when we heard this, and the old man said: "It's unbelievable, right? That's why I told you, because even if you tell it, no one will believe it."

A Xue said: "But what role did my father play in this matter?"

The old man smiled and said: "Girl, I can't tell you about this matter. Maybe I will talk about it when I have a chance in the future, but not now. You have to go back and tell Wang Hao, so that he will not be so obsessed with Qiu Qingyue's death." Yu Huai, if he wants to live in peace for two years and find out the truth about your father's death when he has time, he should keep a low profile, otherwise disaster will come sooner or later."

After hearing this sentence, it is clear that the Peacock Spirit King, like those warriors of the Heavenly Spirit Race, has an unspeakable secret, and the two probably still have the same view. So what kind of secret is this secret? Have been silent all the time?I am more and more curious.

A Xue said: "Grandpa Lingwang, are you willing to go out with us? I hope you will go out with us."

The old man smiled and said: "Except for Wang Hao, few people from the Tianling clan know that I am here. In fact, this is quite good. I don't want to be disturbed, but I feel sorry for my child. If you can see him , give this thing to him."

After finishing speaking, she took a round jade tablet from her neck, and Ah Xue took it over. She saw that the jade tablet was as big as her palm, and it was covered with lines. Grandpa, we're leaving now, we won't be able to go back if dawn breaks, please be honest."

The old man nodded with a smile and said, "Good boy, go, don't forget what I told you."

Afterwards, the three of us returned the same way, and Qiu Yin was already sound asleep at this time. We got into the crevice of the mountain and walked to the side of the well. Climbing the iron chain was not difficult for us, so after a while After a while we climbed out of the deep well, and there is no earth-shattering secret about what happened inside, we just met an elder of the Celestial Clan who seemed to have no ambitions, although he seemed to be indomitable, in fact he would bow his head to some forces, It seems that the Celestials are indeed humans, and they know how to avoid things that they must avoid.

When we got out of the cave, we saw that the sky had already started to turn gray, and it would not be long before dawn. We hurried into the castle and walked upstairs. Because of the special material, we ran fast, but there was no sound at all. We went upstairs and opened the door. After entering, I said, "Do you want Uncle Wang to come over and lock the door?"

Then we turned on the light, but we were immediately taken aback by the sudden incident in front of us. We saw four warriors from the Tianling clan pressed their knives on Wang Hao's neck and sat on the sofa. Because the room was too dark before, We didn't find out.

One of these four people is very familiar to me, that is, a young soldier in the long knife who wants to fight Brother Ashuetang. At this time, he looked at us with a stern expression and said, "Where did you go?"

A Xue snorted and said, "Is it related to you?"

The man said: "Of course it has something to do with it. You are not from the Tianling clan, but you are acting sneaky in the Tianling clan's territory. Don't you know what will happen?"

Wang Hao said: "Shuangzi, don't talk nonsense, they have never done anything, this is not something you can frame."

Gemini said with a fierce expression: "Shut up, don't think that you are a big deal because you control our sleep time. You are not even a fart when we soldiers are serious."

Wang Hao said: "I know you look down on me, but that matter has nothing to do with these children, so don't target them."

The twins said: "I don't need you to teach me, what has nothing to do with children, you didn't intend to let the elder's son go, is his life worthless?"

Wang Haodao: "It is the order of Wuhua God of War to kill Elder He, and no one else can be blamed."

The twins said: "Don't use such words to bluff people. If it weren't for the Qiu family's vain attempt to unify the Tianling clan, would the elders die? Would the Lingwang disappear?"

Of course we know that the Peacock Spirit King is not missing, he is just guarding the magic knife, but we can't say it, Gemini sees that we have no one to speak, so he can't be reasonable: "Who of you can tell me the truth?" Obviously, none of you can tell. In fact, everyone knows that the Qiu family dominates the Tianling clan now. When Qiu Xue comes back to take over Dawen, the Tianling clan will be taken over by the Qiu family from the inside out. , You have become the actual five-flowered war god, don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts."

Wang Hao said: "Shuangzi, you can insult us, but you can't include Wuhua God of War. He is a true omniscient god. If we really have two hearts, he would have known about it long ago."

At this time, someone said: "Shuangzi, don't be arrogant. Ashe and Uncle Wang are both members of the Tianling clan. What you do is against the rules set by the God of War. Don't you know?"

Turning around and looking around, I saw that among the three people who sent us into the cave that day, he and He Zhuang were worshiping brothers. At this moment, he stared at the twins with a stern expression. Of course, not only him, but also many people from the Tianling clan drove away Come up, but basically all young people.

The twins said: "Brother, you and I both know their true intentions. Elder He can't just die in vain. Someone must come forward and give an explanation."

The man said in a deep voice: "One size is one size. Uncle Wang has nothing to do with this matter. You should let him go first."

The twins straightened their swords and said, "It's impossible, don't force me, or I'll kill him on the spot."

The man said: "Are you crazy? I will tell you to put down the knife immediately."

Gemini's expression also became excited and said: "Don't force me, you know I can do it."

With a little force on his hands, blood left on Wang Hao's neck, and the man immediately said, "Don't mess around, we can discuss it."

The twins said loudly: "It's fine if you don't do it earlier, you have to force me to be tough, you are a bunch of cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, how did Elder He treat you when he was alive? He died and none of you dared to stand up. A group of white-eyed wolves."

The man said: "Then tell me, what should I do?"

The twins said: "I'm going to the cave. It is said that the truth is hidden in the cave. I want to find out the truth."

The man said: "Are you crazy, who told you this sentence?"

The twins said: "You don't need to worry about it. Let's talk about it. If you agree to go to the entrance of the cave, I will release him. If you don't agree, I will kill him now."

The man pondered for a while and said: "I can't decide this matter..."

Gemini immediately said loudly: "Who asked you to come up with this problem? It's none of your business. If you insist on making trouble, I don't want your consent. I want you to get out of the way, or we will all die together."

Seeing Gemini's extreme performance, the man lost his mind and had to get out of the way. The four of them escorted Wang Hao down, and we followed immediately.
