Li Yan and the other three walked towards the door of the courtyard next door. As they approached, Kong Nantai and others outside the courtyard also looked at them. Li Yan actually felt two snake-like eyes looking at them. Although he pretended to be
He was frightened, but under the induction of his spiritual consciousness, those two cold eyes came from under the cloak of the man in black robes. To be precise, their eyes were locked on the master and servant in front of him.
As the three of them approached, the four of them, Kong Nantai, who were surrounding each other, looked at each other. Kong Nantai's eyes flashed a few times, but in the end he did not speak to stop the three of Li Yan. In their hearts, the three of Li Yan were equally suspicious, and they were all next to each other.
In the courtyard, it is perfectly possible to return quickly after killing people, but it is not as suspicious as the two men in black robes who seemed to be caught on the spot.
Suspicions on Li Yan and the three others must be reasonable after all, not to mention that they are so close to the murder scene, and the head brother should call the three of them here soon.
Li Yan and the other three arrived at the courtyard gate, but they couldn't get in. At this time, ten disciples had been posted at the door to block them out.
"Let them come in. I have something to ask you." At this moment, the Taoist priest's voice rang out in the courtyard, and everyone could hear a hint of suppressed anger in his voice.
After hearing this, the disciples outside the door stepped out of the way and signaled the three of them to go in. When they came, Li Yan and the others naturally wanted to go in and take a look.
The three of them entered the courtyard and found that the lights were on. A Taoist priest was standing in the courtyard, and a corpse was lying on the ground. Li Yan and the other three stared at it. The man was lying face down on the ground.
He was wearing a Xuanqing Temple Taoist robe, with a large bloody hole on his waist. There were large areas of bright red blood on the ground, some of which had condensed with the soil on the ground to turn black.
Under the moonlight and the flickering lights in the courtyard, the palace Taoist's face was gloomy and uncertain, and the hands of the dead body lying on the ground were pale and dazzling. A gust of night wind blew through, making the leaves in the courtyard rustle, and the strong smell of blood filled the place.
In this space, Li Yan and the others felt a chill on their backs, which was strange and eerie.
Of course, monks no longer mainly use their eyes to see things. Li Yan's spiritual consciousness swept over this person. Although this person was face down, he looked at his lean figure and thought of the Qi Condensation Stage disciple who shouted before, "
"Uncle Song", and then he remembered that this person seemed to be a foundation-building monk standing next to Luo Sanpang in the afternoon, and the big bloody hole in his waist had been pierced front and back.
While Li Yan and the other three were observing with their spiritual senses, the Taoist priest's face showed some ferocity. Unexpectedly, in just half a day, two junior brothers died in the Taoist temple. These were two foundation builders. There were nine brothers and sisters in total.
, now Xuan Qingguan’s strength declined sharply.
"There is no need to observe, Junior Brother Song was attacked from behind, directly destroying the Dantian and Purple Fu, and he was killed instantly." He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and slowly said to the three of them.
When Li Yan and the other three heard this, they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the Taoist Gong at the same time. The young man in purple stopped for a moment and suddenly asked, "So
Speaking of which, the murderer must have been familiar with the deceased senior. Otherwise, we still don’t know how a foundation-building monk could be so close to someone. In that case, unless the murderer is a monk with a golden elixir or above, he can let a monk
The foundation-building monks have no ability to resist."
Hearing what the young man in purple shirt said, the Taoist priest's eyes stopped on him and looked at him a few more times. He meant to say this to the old man with a hunchback. The young man in purple shirt suddenly felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.
As usual, he was suddenly unable to move, but the hunchbacked old man moved his steps casually at this time, blocking half of his body in front of the young man in purple shirt. The pressure on the young man in purple shirt suddenly disappeared, and he was covered in sweat.
, the hunchbacked old man still did not speak, but looked at the Taoist priest.
A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the palace Taoist. He had long seen that this hunchbacked old man was very strong, but he didn't expect that the pressure on him could be resolved so easily. He had already touched the golden elixir with one foot.
He continued with an unchanging expression, "This little friend is right. The protective formation here is still in a semi-open state, which means that Junior Brother Song should have gotten up to see off the murderer. When he walked to the courtyard, he opened the door.
In order to let the murderer leave, the murderer deliberately stayed one step behind Junior Brother Song, and then struck the killer from behind, directly penetrating the internal organs from the waist, destroying Junior Brother Song's Dantian and Purple Fu organs, causing Junior Brother Song to die instantly."
When he said these words, he was filled with anger. To Xuan Qingguan, this was already a naked provocation. His attack in the morning was still somewhat concealed, but in the evening he killed him directly. At the same time, he was also tangled in his heart. Various signs showed that he had
The results deduced by Hall Master Ji are all facts. It is this result that he cannot accept. In this case, the murderer must be a Taoist man. Even if these outside monks find Junior Brother Song in an emergency, he will not relax.
To this extent, the murderer was not only familiar with Junior Brother Song, but also very familiar with him. This was why he had not ordered the arrest of the two men in black robes outside the door.
He didn't say a word, and Junior Brother Song's storage bag was also missing.
"Then I dare to ask the seniors. When the screams occurred here, the time until the seniors arrived was generally not long. Logically speaking, this senior's resentful soul should still be nearby. Have you found it?" The young man in purple shirt thought for a while.
, he still asked, as long as he found the resentful soul, the problem could be solved. He was anxious to leave this place, and at this time he could no longer care about what the Taoist Palace thought of him.
"No, just like Junior Brother Liu in the morning, his soul was completely destroyed." The palace Taoist's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was dripping from his face.
At this moment, Li Yan's expression changed, but he still lowered his head so that no one could see his face. Later, the hunchbacked old man looked up at the side wall of the courtyard unintentionally, and then a voice came.
"Three fellow Taoists, what the head brother means is that I don't know if the three of you saw anyone else passing by or heard any sounds next door." As the sound came out, the young man in purple shirt and Li Yan seemed to be caught.
The person woke up with a start and looked at the person coming. A figure slowly became clear on the courtyard wall. It was the Master Ji of the Xuanqing Temple Supervisory Hall. As soon as he appeared, he first shook his head at the Taoist priest.
, flew quietly to the palace Taoist.
When the Taoist priest saw Hall Master Ji shaking his head, his face became even more gloomy. After the two of them entered the courtyard, they first checked all the places here, and then they went out of the courtyard separately to search around. In addition to searching for clues, they also
I hope that Junior Brother Song's soul can be found, even if it's just a wisp, and the murderer will be revealed.
Based on their cultivation and their own understanding of the Guanzhong formation, they naturally searched very quickly. After searching for a while without any results, the palace Taoist returned here first. Seeing that Hall Master Ji was also like this, he seemed to be the murderer.
Like a shadow, it comes and goes without a trace, and it doesn't even let go of the soul. It makes people lose the chance of reincarnation. This makes Gong Taoist feel more and more depressed, making him feel that everyone around him has
Maybe, under the right circumstances, he might commit another violent act of murder.
After listening to Hall Master Ji's words, the young man in purple robe looked at Li Yan with a look of fear on his face, then looked at the hunchbacked old man in front of him, and slowly shook his head, "What happened at noon today is already shocking. Come back."
After that, the five of us each chose a room to rest. Uncle Sang and I kept talking to each other in the room because of today's events. It wasn't until we heard the screams outside that we went out of the room. Oh, this matter has something to do with this person.
Fellow Taoist can prove that he walked out of the room first." Having said this, he pointed at Li Yan, then smiled at Li Yan, and continued, "When the three of me were in the courtyard, there was no one next door.
When the sound came out, no one was seen walking outside the courtyard, but during this period, the other two Taoist friends in black robes were not seen. I waited for a while, and then I heard someone shouting outside. Someone was already coming.
When I got out of the courtyard gate, I saw Senior Guan Nei Kong leading people to surround the two black-robed Taoist friends not far away, but I don’t know when the two black-robed Taoist friends went out." As he said this, he said to him respectfully
Bow to Hall Master Ji and the Taoist priest.
The words of the young man in purple sounded like he was just describing what he saw and heard, but his words seemed to point to the two men in black robes, and he also let Li Yan in.
After the young man in purple shirt bowed respectfully, he couldn't help but feel a little humility towards Li Yan. He said in his heart, "This fellow Taoist is really sorry. I really have to leave early. But I didn't lie. When I came out,
You are indeed standing in the courtyard." He also looked at Li Yan with an apologetic smile.
Taoist Gong and Hall Master Ji looked at Li Yan again. Although they did not feel any threat to a Qi Condensation Stage monk, Hall Master Ji still said, "My little friend, when did you come to the courtyard?"
, was there anything unusual?
If there is anything, please tell me, I will thank you sincerely." Although he was so polite, his eyes were fixed on Li Yan like a knife, and at the same time he thought in his mind, "This person is from the Blood Leaf Sect, and he is just a guy.
It's just a third-rate sect. If you can explain the reason, then forget it, otherwise..." Although he and the Taoist priests have concluded that Junior Brother Song's death is more than 70% due to a traitor within the Taoist temple, but any accidents will still exist.
Li Yanruo couldn't explain anything, so he was irritated and took Li Yan's storage bag to see if there was any magic weapon that could kill the foundation-building monk. This was also a pleasure and removed the suspicion.
man of.
Li Yan sneered in his heart when the young man in purple shirt pushed him out. Although he was more frightened on the surface, he quickly said, "Senior Qi Bing, the junior did arrive in the courtyard first, but he only came out after hearing the screams."
At first glance, it turned out that the senior Qin who arranged for me to stay overnight knew about this. At that time, he was sitting at the opposite window drinking. When he saw the junior, he raised his drink to signal to the junior. This is unmistakable.
Just then there were screams.
After I came to the courtyard, there was no other sound coming from here, and until I walked out of the courtyard with him and me, I didn't find anyone passing by the door."
"Oh? You're talking about Junior Brother Qin? Hmm... It's possible what you said. These courtyard windows are opposite to the courtyard where Junior Brother Qin lives on the other side." Hall Master Ji stared for a moment, thought for a moment, and felt
It's possible.
At this moment, a clear voice came over, "Oh, what this fellow Taoist said is true. I was indeed sitting in front of the window drinking at that time. When I saw this fellow Taoist looking over, I raised my drink to signal.
, The screams of Senior Brother Song appeared at that time, and this fellow Taoist really had nothing to do with this matter." Everyone looked for a voice, but a figure walked in from the courtyard gate, it was Qin Chengyi.
"Junior Brother Qin, why did you come here at such a time?" Hall Master Ji looked at the visitor, feeling unhappy in his heart that something like this happened here. Although this Junior Brother Qin's cultivation was still at the Qi Condensation stage, he was still in the Qi Condensation stage anyway.
I've been here for a while, but it seems like I don't care.
"I've met the head master, senior brother Ji. I heard something unusual here and rushed over. But when I passed by the gate of senior brother Liu's courtyard, I was stopped by senior brother Luo and asked about the situation. I said a few words to him, but I was afraid of him.
He was wandering around randomly for a while, fearing that something might happen to the courtyard of Senior Brother Liu whom he was guarding, so he asked him to stay there and explain to him later. As soon as he arrived outside the courtyard, he saw Senior Brother Kong and several people surrounding him.
After meeting two guests, I also asked about the situation, but it was too late." Qin Chengyi said.
After listening to Qin Chengyi's explanation, Hall Master Ji's face softened, and the Taoist priest also nodded. If Qin Chengyi hadn't met Luo Sanpang, that fool would have left his duties and came here directly. If the murderer went to destroy it again.
At the scene, I really can’t explain it until Master comes back.
