Chapter 194: Going against the current [Updated for 6500 votes]
The pursuit in Linjing City was busy all night, and people came back one after another at dawn, looking dejected.
"Fifty miles east of Linjing, I intercepted the first possible clue. It was a night carriage from Bada Mule and Horse Company. It was delivered with a pile of old clothes and the smell of the murderer."
"A cargo ship from Wangjiadu was intercepted thirty miles down the river. After searching, the water-repelling bead was found on the ship's mast. The crew members were all ordinary mortals."
The two veterans looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
The aura was intercepted from the inn under the leadership of the broker. The murderer had lived here for at least half a month. Daomen had many ways to find some clues through the aura retained. The result was a pile of old clothes from the carriage shop.
The water-proofing pearl was the only lost treasure at the auction, and it was also a target that could be pursued. Fearing that he would be cheated at the auction, the owner tampered with his own pearl, and it ended up hanging high on a cargo ship.
Tall mast?
"It's all a cover-up! This person has either escaped a hundred miles away, or he is still in Linjing City, but he is a careful person. It is not easy for us to find him. We have to use too many resources. Is it worth it?
"
Mr. Kong frowned. Although they were all Tongxuan masters, an hour had passed from the time the incident occurred to the time they arrived, and another hour had passed since they found clues and sent people to chase them. For an experienced killer,
, the search is basically hopeless.
Another Taoist sighed, "Before I came, the master of the palace told me to search within the scope of my ability. Casting the net outside Linjing City is too involved. It is not necessary. Just pay more attention inside Linjing City? See if there is anything more.
A strange monk in disguise?"
This is a game.
In view of the current delicate relationship between Anhe Taoist Sect and Quanzhen Sect, both parties have a tendency to cooperate, so some things can only be done in moderation.
They knew about Gu Xiqiao's matter, but of course Gu Xiqiao said something else and did not admit it. In the end, the situation ended in a stalemate where the public said the public was right and the mother-in-law said the mother-in-law was right.
Anhe Taoism also wants to save face, and the Gu family also has many connections in Linjing City and manages everything, so it is impossible for Linjing Taoist Office to kidnap him and send him back to Miaogao Town. This is not the practice in the world of cultivation, and it will make people feel weak and can be bullied.
This is the essence of what Yu Zhengxing said was that Gu Xiqiao was under the protection of the Linjing Taoist Office.
The Taoist sect hopes that time will smooth everything out. If the Gu family is willing to shed some more blood, everyone will have face; but now it seems that the Quanzhen Sword Cultivator does not think so. After they failed to communicate, they immediately sent a killer.
According to the rules of the Taoist practice world, Tongda Realm takes action, leaving the Taoist sect speechless.
Anhe Daomen can search people or fight back, but the rules must be at the same level, Tongxuan or below!
This was the last bit of goodwill that the Quanzhen Sect retained when they were ruthless. They did not want to cause uncontrollable chaos due to the intervention of high-level monks, and suppressed the dispute at the level of low-level monks.
A simple hunt actually contains a lot of content. As the two Tongxuan monks of Linjing Dafu said, they did not want this incident to affect the general trend of improving relations between the two families.
I don't want to send my disciples to face a cold-blooded assassin who specializes in killing, so the only option is to lift it high and drop it gently.
After all, Gu Xiqiao is not from the Anhe Taoist sect, even if the Gu family has children in the Taoist sect, these are two different concepts.
As for what the Gu family will think, they can think whatever they like, as long as it does not affect the Taoist strategy; a businessman with his own faults, and a family that has been passing on business for generations, can only swallow their anger and add a prohibition in the family motto.
What else can you do by selling fake elixirs to children?
With this kind of blood, they would have become a real family of cultivation long ago, or they would have been wiped out hundreds of years ago.
If the blood is temporarily good, the family may die.
"Yu Zhengxing, this guy still has the same temper!" Kong Daoren shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Another Taoist said, "That's a dog that doesn't bark! It bites people harder than anyone else! This Gu Xiqiao is also stupid. If you don't want to go anywhere, you have to go to Miaogao Town?"
... On the Xiaodi River, a grain fleet is struggling upstream. They are official ships heading towards Guangchuan Prefecture. In Anhe, water transportation accounts for most of the freight volume. This is the convenience of a developed water system.
, only medium and short-distance transportation will use fleets, which is also the characteristic of Anhe.
On one of the grain ships, among the tall grain stacks, a man in Tsing Yi was sitting cross-legged and meditating, with his eyes closed in concentration.
He is awakening his sword consciousness by sacrificing his life to the sword.
Ordinary sacrifices require a series of operations such as opening an altar, offering Taoist songs, offering blood and food, etc. However, Yu Zhengxing taught him that the sword sacrifice of life and death does not require these superficial things.
Everything is done in the mind of the monk. Through a special method, he visualizes the sword altar in his consciousness, presents his understanding of the sword, and offers his fresh life force. In this way, he can get along with his sword day and night.
Reach mutual understanding.
It was not successful, but it is normal; this cannot be solved in one go. A little talent, a little luck, a little feeling, and the rest is: kill more creatures!
From this point of view alone, it is not unfair to call the Quanzhen Sect a demonic sect.
The escape route has already been arranged. The core of the plan is that Anhe Daomen cannot beg for nothing. The situation between An and Yan countries also depends on the identity of Gu Xiqiao merchants, even if the Gu family has some connections in Anhe Daomen.
, and it is impossible to exceed certain limits.
It was an accident for Gu Weixin. He had never thought that there was a relationship between the two people, and they coincidentally appeared in the photos of those wearing hoods.
At that time, he felt something was wrong as soon as the sword was released. This man's swordsmanship was obviously the method of the Quanzhen Sect. For him, he might not be able to judge the method, but swordsmanship was his special skill. Hidden Sword Tower
He has almost learned all the sword skills, what else can be hidden from him?
This is the only loophole. The best way to deal with it is to end it at the time and pretend that you don't know that this person is also a Quanzhen disciple. However, he has been a Quanzhen disciple for more than two years and his heart has not yet reached this level of darkness.
He could only bet that Gu Weixin would take care of the overall situation and retreat on his own; he had no right to ask Gu Weixin, but the warning in the last sentence was very strong, telling him that only Gu Weixin knew his roots, and if anything was leaked, he would run away.
He was not suspected of informing Gu Weixin.
They are all smart people, and they will not fail to understand the meaning contained in this sentence. He believes that this fellow is a smart person and will make the right choice. Even if he has a life in his heart, he will never go back to the past, but that is
Another thing.
In practice, public and private matters should be separated. If you fail to do this, your future will be bleak.
