Chapter 180 Killing someone with a borrowed knife
Shi Xueqian was slapped awake, opened his eyes suddenly, swallowed his saliva, and kept breathing heavily as if there was a huge stone on his chest.
But what surprised Lin Xixue was that when Shi Xueqian saw him standing next to his bed, he didn't look panicked, didn't struggle to escape, and didn't shout loudly. He looked extremely calm.
Is it because Shi Xueqian’s psychological quality is too good? Or is it something else?
She fluttered her sleeves in the air, and a chair flew from the side and landed firmly behind her. She sat down, crossed her legs, held her cheek with one hand, and stared at Shi Xueqian with her eyes narrowed.
After a while, Shi Xueqian still remained silent, and Lin Xixue took the initiative to ask: "Do you still remember what happened just now?"
"Remember."
"Won't you call someone to rescue you?"
"More than a thousand soldiers have formed a military formation together, but you can't help it. It's useless to call for help at this moment."
"Aren't you going to explain what you just did?"
"I can't explain it. The moment I saw you, I didn't know why. I just felt an evil fire rising in my heart. Now that I think about it, maybe it was the blood shadow."
Lin Xixue was silent. Shi Xueqian's explanation was similar to her previous guess. After all, his reaction after seeing her was too abnormal.
The question now is why the blood shadow doesn't happen earlier or later, but it only happens at the right moment.
She had two conjectures about this. One was that the blood shadow was originally condensed by evil spirits, and after meeting the evil seeds in her body, it produced some kind of special reaction.
The second is that this blood shadow is controlled by some people, and the person who controls the blood shadow wants to use Shi Xueqian's hand to get rid of himself.
Judging from the fact that the blood shadow borrowed Qianhu's body to escape into Jingyun City, then arrived at the Land of Wind and Moon, and was subsequently ambushed in an alley, it is obvious that the second hypothesis is closer to reality.
However, since the man behind the scenes wanted to get rid of himself with the help of Shi Xueqian, he revealed a message - the man behind the scenes knew that he would definitely come to see Shi Xueqian.
Combined with the subsequent ambush in the alley, the woman in colorful clothes will learn the secrets of Confucianism and the truth.
Not only does he know the secret teachings of mantra, but he also knows that he will definitely come to see Shi Xueqian for a banquet!
The name suddenly popped up in Lin Xixue's mind.
Assuming it is really him, what are his motives?
Could it be that because Lu Er planned to pass the Exquisite Heart to me in the hope that I would take charge of the Confucian sect, he completely ignored his direct disciple, so he held a grudge and wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife while Lu Er was out?
It sounds like this is indeed a very reasonable motive, but perhaps Yanyou is not the only one in the Confucian sect who knows that he will definitely come to see Shi Xueqian.
The Confucian disciple who was responsible for carrying the message also knew that he was back at Yunchui Guard Station.
And more than that, maybe the hundreds of households who took Qu Ruoyin away also knew that they would come to Yunchui Guard Station, and it was indeed a bit arbitrary to rashly conclude that it was Yanyou who did it at this time.
But if this matter is not a banquet plan, but another force's action, what is the reason why this force wants to kill me?
First of all, we can exclude the worshipers of monsters such as Tianzun and Leizu. These monsters should be the ones who least want me to die. There is no reason to instruct the worshipers to do something to me.
However, who else would want to kill him? This force is not only related to the ghosts within the Confucian sect, but also to the evil cultivators that have disappeared.
In her knowledge, there is no force that meets these conditions, let alone guessing the motive of this force wanting to kill her.
But then again, no matter whether the mastermind behind the scenes is Yanyou or not, this Confucian sect's inner ghost is already so rampant, it seems that it can no longer be easily trusted.
The breakthrough point of all problems lies in the Qiongtai Academy where the bloody shadow went. This place must be explored.
But the problem right now is that judging from the encounter in the alley, the mastermind behind this must have known his appearance. He went to investigate with his true appearance. Not only could he find nothing, but he might also be put in danger.
.
Alas, it would be great if the Sanqing Mask was not damaged.
It has to be said that although Miao Zhu of the City God's Temple cooperated with Tianzun to set up a trap and almost caused his own disaster, the Three Emotions Mask is indeed quite useful.
All the raw materials and production methods of the Seven Emotions Mask are available, but the only main ingredient missing is the face of a woman born in the yin year and yin month.
Otherwise, he will repeat his old tricks and offer a large reward to a woman with a pure Yin destiny?
As soon as her idea came up, she was immediately rejected by herself. There are some bottom lines that cannot be easily broken.
However, Lin Xixue had an idea and came up with a compromise plan.
It would have been difficult to get a complete pure Yin woman's face before I got the Sky-Building Stone. But maybe now, I can just take a small piece of skin and then directly use the Sky-Building Jade to repair it completely?
This would not leave any indelible harm to the woman, and it would be worthy of my own conscience, but the process would be a little painful.
But I guess as long as I compensate with a large piece of gold, this pain will be nothing. The only drawback is that I have to spend another drop of Tian Mending Nectar.
Ever since she got the Sky Mending Stone, she seemed to be a little too dependent on it, Lin Xixue thought to herself.
Although it is conservatively estimated that this magical item can be used eighty or ninety times, it cannot be used so casually. If you rely too much on these magical items, you will be in trouble if you really need these magical items to save your life in the future.
.
She calmed down her thoughts and continued to ask Shi Xueqian, who was lying on the bed: "Do you know when the blood shadow entered your body?"
"I don't know, if I hadn't been defeated by you today and the blood shadow took the initiative to leave, I wouldn't even know that I still have this kind of thing in my body."
"Do you usually have any enemies?" Lin Xixue thought of another possibility. Maybe the mastermind behind the scenes wanted to harm both herself and Shi Xueqian and perish together.
"Enemies. There are no enemies in the military. I have been fighting on the battlefield all year round. It's not surprising that someone cares about me."
"Where are the more powerful enemies? Are there any?"
"For those who are more powerful, I have always been at odds with that treacherous old man Yan, does this count?"
"Old dog Yan?"
"Prime Minister Yan Yu, this person killed Zhongliang. I wrote to him many times, but nothing happened. Instead, the news reached his own ears, and I became enemies with him."
Isn't Yan Yu the corrupt official who accidentally found the hidden silver in Xinliang City? Later, he thought it was the thieves Feng Buyou who had done it, and sent Feng Buyou to death row.
Since this Yan Yu is a treacherous minister, then Shi Xueqian's cooperation with the treacherous minister and his enmity with him, at least shows that the two of them are not colluding.
In this case, why did Yanyou remind himself that Shi Xueqian was a villain and told him to be careful when he was in Lixin Academy?
Is there a possibility that Yanyou, through the guidance of this kind of rhetoric, let himself fall into preconceptions and deliberately aroused his suspicion of Shi Xueqian, so that the two of them naturally fought.
Lin Xixue touched her chin and raised the suspicion level of this banquet a few points higher in her mind.
After doing some calculation, I owe a total of five chapters. I owe two chapters for 4.2. I owe two chapters for the March monthly pass plus update. I owe one chapter for the March update. I will make up for it as soon as possible (escape)
