People have been learning to make others happy since they became sensible. The sooner someone becomes sensible, the more tired they will be.
Zina is.
But what has been ignored now is that Lin Ye is the same.
Before coming out of the Protector's Mansion, Lin Ye looked back, although Lao Chen's figure was already out of sight.
But at this moment, Lin Ye saw in his heart the old man who was trying to please the children.
Those who start to please others early in life and learn to coax people from morning to night are even more humble.
Lin Ye knew where Lao Chen's humbleness came from. It came from Lin Ye's continuous improvement in status.
When he first arrived in Yunzhou City, Lao Chen was still communicating with Lin Ye on an equal footing, but now he feels that the distance between him and Lin Ye is already far away.
Regarding Lin Ye's attitude, he was... both proud and humble.
Lin Ye did not dare to let Old Chen know that he still doubted Chen Weiwei, because once Old Chen found out, the old man would be even more humble and work harder to please Lin Ye.
"Actually, you know you were wrong this time."
A voice appeared next to Lin Ye.
Lin Ye leaned over slightly: "Auntie."
Xie Yunxi hummed, standing next to Lin Ye and looking into the distance: "Some people say that when your status is high enough, people around you will be full of goodwill towards you, and there will be good people around you."
Lin Ye nodded.
Xie Yunxi continued: "According to this, if your status is high enough, all the coincidences around you are not coincidences."
Lin Ye nodded again.
"Now I can only think about the good things. Chen Weiwei's deliberate and cruel intentions are just because he really wants to practice in Fengyu Temple."
After Xie Yunxi finished saying this, he patted Lin Ye on the shoulder.
"I'm not comforting you, I'm telling you that if you're wrong, you're wrong. If you don't change it, then think about the good things. If you can't figure it out, then the rest can only be bad things."
Lin Ye took a deep breath: "I know, aunt."
"Go and do your business. There are still many things over at Tianshui Cliff that need you to take care of."
She watched Lin Ye walk away, and then her heart ached again.
Sensible child...
Lin Ye squatted down and inspected the ruins of Tianshui Cliff carefully. This was the place where he found the first corpse.
Here he pulled out the body of a Shangyang Palace disciple, who was apparently killed on the spot by a collapsed building.
Not far away, Lin Ye pulled out a second corpse, which was also crushed to death.
What Lin Ye suspected was precisely why these disciples who had cultivated their abilities were all beaten to death without exception.
Soldiers had already cleaned this place before, so it was difficult to find traces of that time.
Even if it hadn't been cleaned up, given the extent of Tianshui Cliff's collapse, there would still be no traces.
Lin Ye grabbed some dust from the bottom, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
If it is poison, it can be detected in the corpse even if some time has passed.
Of course Lin Ye had checked the body and could not see any traces of poison.
So if these disciples were smashed to death without any reaction and were not poisoned, then the only reasonable explanation left is...***.
But, this is another difficult thing to do.
Tianshui Cliff is halfway up the mountain, and the buildings are very large. It is too difficult to use guns on a large scale in such a relatively empty place.
Unless so, the drugs these people get are not smelled, but eaten.
Lin Ye stood up and walked towards the Tianshuiya kitchen, which had not been cleaned up yet.
There are two kitchens in Tianshuiya. One is a small kitchen in the backyard, which is specially used to cook for important people such as the priest and the priest. The large kitchen is in the front yard where the disciples eat.
Lin Ye waved his hand to signal the soldiers who were cleaning up here to leave temporarily. When he walked to the ruins and stopped, his brows furrowed.
He wrinkled involuntarily.
If it collapsed elsewhere, then it was shattered here.
"Another talisman?"
Lin Ye muttered to himself.
The kitchen was destroyed like this. It was obvious that this was one of the places where something exploded directly.
Lin Ye knew that the former Yuling Guards and the emperor's imperial army had secretly developed a weapon that could compete with practitioners.
If the collapse here was not caused by talismans, then it could only be caused by that kind of weapon.
"Go and ask Mr. Shi Jintang to come over."
Lin Ye turned around and gave instructions.
Shi Jintang, who was inspecting behind Tianshui Cliff, quickly rushed over and came to Lin Ye's side. Before he could salute, he was interrupted by Lin Ye.
"What is the name of the weapon in the Yu Ling Guard that is specially used to deal with great practitioners?"
Hearing Lin Ye suddenly ask this, Shi Jintang was obviously a little embarrassed.
"Master Protector also suspects that the collapse here was caused by someone detonating it from many points?"
Lin Ye glanced at him: "Don't pretend, just say it."
Shi Jintang smiled coquettishly. He originally wanted to put Lin Ye's question away, but it was obviously hopeless.
"Actually, the Protector-sama should have known about that thing for a long time. It's just that the Protector-sama has forgotten it."
What he means by this is...you say I am pretending, but you are also pretending?
So Lin Ye glanced at him again.
Shi Jintang said: "The weapons developed by Yu Lingwei are actually not one kind, but two."
"The less powerful ones can be installed on arrow clusters, throwing spears, and heavy crossbows. They are called thunder beads."
"The other type is even more powerful. The power of one particle is equivalent to a full blow from a martial arts master. Of course, because of its high power, it is extremely difficult to make. It is called mica thunder."
Lin Ye asked: "Since you have guessed the purpose of these two weapons that I asked you about, does it mean that you have checked them before?"
Shi Jintang nodded: "Whether it's thunderbolt beads or mica thunder, these two things are basically made of the same material. If you use this one, it will have a very strong smell."
He pointed to the ruins of the kitchen: "There must be signs of scorch here, but obviously there are not.
Lin Ye said: "So that's the only possibility left."
Shi Jintang said: "The talisman of Shangyang Palace."
In Lin Ye's mind, the appearance of the Great Lijiao priest appeared involuntarily, the senior who fought alongside him in Lone Bamboo... Shang Qingyu.
He was an elder and a wise man. Lin Ye had not been in contact with him for a long time, but Lin Ye also respected this person in his heart.
Shang Qingwei is the great ritual priest of Shangyang Palace. In terms of status, he is second only to the master of Fengyu Temple.
Shi Jintang said at this time: "If it is really the priest of the Great Rites Sect, the explanation would be reasonable."
Lin Ye hummed.
Shi Jintang said: "As one of the priests of the Dali Sect and the youngest among all the Dali Sect, he should be the most suitable candidate for the master of Fengyu Temple."
Lin Ye hummed again.
If it weren't for Mr. Xin's special status, then the position of master of Fengyu Temple should not be Mr. Xin's, but Shang Qingwang's.
Mr. Xin went up. If analyzed according to ordinary people, Shang Qingwei might have some resentment, but he would not show it.
Mr. Xin was the emperor's younger brother and the future successor to Dayu's throne. Shang Qinghang could only hold back some resentment in his heart.
Nie Wuzhi is different.
In terms of status, strength, and influence in the world, Nie Wuzhi cannot be compared to Shang Qingyu no matter what.
"The only thing that's unreasonable now is... it's too obvious."
Shi Jintang said: "The talisman paper was used when assassinating Nie Wuzhi before. Now that Tianshui Cliff is destroyed, it may be the talisman. In the whole world, the only one who can use the talisman to this extent is Dali."
Please teach me how to finish this one."
Lin Ye squatted down and carefully checked the ground.
According to Shi Jintang, thunderbolt beads cannot cause such great damage, so if it is really that kind of weapon, it can only be mica thunder.
But after the mica mine exploded, the surrounding area was charred black, as if it had been burned by fire, and a very pungent smell was left behind.
There doesn't seem to be any sign of being scorched here, it's more like a ball of air has exploded here.
Apart from talismans, Lin Ye couldn't think of any other possibilities.
"I guess."
Shi Jintang said: "When Tianshui Cliff was built, some people deliberately left these weak points. Tianshui Cliff seems indestructible, but as long as you attack these points, the entire Tianshui Cliff can completely collapse."
Lin Ye said: "That's unreasonable."
Shi Jintang: "Where is it unreasonable?"
Lin Ye said: "The priest of the Dali Sect once said that it is impossible for things like talismans to gather the power of cultivation for a long time without dispersing."
Shi Jintang understood: "If it wasn't placed here a long time ago, then it is almost impossible that someone would have the opportunity to place these talismans in full view of everyone."
Lin Ye said: "It's not impossible."
Shi Jintang said: "Unless it is, this murderer has already confused all the disciples, so even if he knowingly arranged the talismans, no one can stop him, and no one can escape."
Lin Ye said: "Then this man must be the old man in Tianshui Cliff. Everyone knows him and is completely unprepared for him."
He turned around and looked not far away, where Pang Panghai and his soldiers were still cleaning up the ruins.
"Pang Panghai, give me the things."
Lin Ye shouted.
Pang Panghai immediately ran over, took out a notebook from his arms and handed it to Lin Ye.
This is something Nie Wuzhi wrote in his own hand before he left. It is a list of people in Tianshuiya.
"Have you checked it?"
Lin Yewen.
Pang Panghaidao: "I've checked it, but the number of people doesn't match. It's missing by a dozen or so."
Shi Jintang said from the side: "The ruins haven't been completely cleared yet, so we can't be sure about the number of people yet."
Lin Ye said: "Then go faster."
He ordered: "Go and call in more people and make sure to find all the corpses."
Pang Panghai immediately agreed, called his men, and asked them to run back and mobilize their troops.
"A good old man."
Shi Jintang said to himself: "No matter who sees him, they will not feel that he is a threat. Whether it is a high-status priest or a low-status disciple, they all think that he is a good old man."
He looked at Lin Ye and continued: "Such a person will not be in a very high position. If the position is too high, it will be too easy to be exposed. Moreover, even if people in a high position pretend to be cold and arrogant, they should not make the disciples feel too kind.
.”
He summarized what he just said again: "He is not a high-status person, but he is still a good guy. People with high-status and low-status people think that he is not a threat..."
Then he looked at Lin Ye: "So the most likely person is the chef, and he must have been working in Tianshuiya for a long time."
He said: "If it is such a person, then it would be a more reasonable explanation why no one could escape, because such a person is the most reasonable candidate to administer the drug."
Lin Ye nodded: "It seems we have to send someone to chase Nie Wuzhi. He doesn't have to come back, but he must ask everything clearly on the way."
Shi Jintang said, "I'll go there myself. It's still too late to hurry up and chase after him."
Lin Ye said: "Then you go."
He glanced at the ruins again, then stretched out his hand: "Give me a try."
Shi Jintang: "What are you trying? What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean. I'd better hurry up and chase Nie Wuzhi."
Lin Ye just looked at him.
After a while, Shi Jintang sighed and carefully took out two things from his backpack.
.
One is a black pill-like thing, which is a thunderbolt bead.
It looks like a large white mushroom, so it is named Mica Thunder.
"Be careful."
Shi Jintang handed the thing to Lin Ye: "I don't have much, and this thing is strictly supervised. If it is used, it must be reported."
