After Qi Xuansu got two pieces of "Xuan Jade", it is not surprising that he still won with such difficulty.
The stage of returning to one's true nature is the last stage before heaven and man. This stage spans quite a long time, so the cultivation levels of those who are both in the stage of returning to one's true nature are also different in strength and weakness.
The strong ones are already very close to the heavenly beings, and they are invincible against the heavenly beings. At least they are not powerless to fight back. The weak ones have just entered the stage of returning to the true state, which is only one level higher than the Yuxu stage, and most of them are ordinary people who are neither above nor below.
The return to true stage.
Even if Su Ran is not at the top in the stage of returning to his true nature, he is still outstanding. He is not comparable to the scholar who was beaten to death by Qi Xuansu in Yishan City. Firstly, it is the gap in cultivation, and secondly, as a core disciple of Taiping Dao, Su Ran has learned
His supernatural powers are far superior to those of ordinary people in the world.
But the most important point is that Su Ran is a demon.
Ghosts are naturally proficient in illusions and spells and are natural alchemists; zombies are born with strong bodies and are natural warriors. In addition to the grass and trees becoming spirits, most of the demons that have become climates have strong energy and blood and possess some of the magical powers of warriors, and the fox tribe is also a demon
The most proficient in the illusion of change among his kind.
From this point of view, although Qi Xuansu is the head of the Sanren, alchemist, and martial arts families, he does not have an advantage against Su Ran. Even because Su Ran's Qi and blood are too strong, Qi Xuansu cannot even use the "Ghost Sword" and other alchemist methods.
not available.
In fact, before the gods and humans, with the same level of cultivation, except for special inheritances such as banished immortals, hermits, and Buddhist disciples, most people were not opponents of demons. It was not until after the gods and humans that the two tended to be equal. However, the gods and humans
Further up, after reaching the realm of immortals, monsters gradually fall into the disadvantageous position.
Because of this, Su Ran still dared to face Qi Xuansu alone even though he knew that Qi Xuansu was also at the Guizhen level. Although he was underestimating the enemy, it was reasonable. It can only be said that Qi Xuansu was too unreasonable.
He couldn't compare with the banished immortal, he was almost half of the banished immortal. In addition, Qi Xuansu was better than Su Ran in adapting to the enemy, so he survived to the end.
Qi Xuansu put away the white fox face mask and looked around, revealing a faint layer of white mist.
Not long after he came in, the entire warehouse was isolated by the formation. This was the reason why no one came to check after the two of them fought fiercely for a long time. It was also the reason why he was unable to break through the wall after being cornered by the "Dragon Escape Sword Technique".
reason.
The key core of the formation lies in the statue of Taishang Daozu not far away.
After all, placing a statue of Taishang Daozu in the warehouse is too abrupt. Who would go to the warehouse to worship Taishang Daozu?
Everything that seems unreasonable has a reasonable logical explanation.
Qi Xuansu put away the "Qing Yuan" and the single sword, picked up the Shenlong hand gun, and also pocketed the "Bliss Needle" and "Seven Phoenix Feathers" scattered on the ground. Then he came to the statue of Taishang Daozu and stretched out his hand to pull it out.
The other single sword that was inserted into the statue was put back into the scabbard on his waist.
The palms of the statue are movable. Generally, the statues of Taishang Daozu have their hands folded on the chest, with the left hand on top and the right hand on the bottom, and the palms of the hands are connected. However, the statue of Taishang Daozu at this time has the right hand on top and the left hand on the bottom.
, and the palms do not touch.
Qi Xuansu struck a palm in the air, and under the stimulation of his true energy, he saw that the palm of the statue began to move on its own, gradually returning to its original shape.
The white mist surrounding the warehouse gradually dissipated.
Qi Xuansu left the warehouse and saw no other Taoist priests. It was probably that everyone here had been sent away by Su Ran in advance, which was convenient for Qi Xuansu.
A Taoist priest of the fourth grade of wine sacrifice died, and another Taoist priest of the fourth grade of wine sacrifice was imprisoned. Such a big change would inevitably alarm the upper echelons of the Taoist sect, and even Yujing.
In other words, the matter has become too big and beyond Qi Xuansu's control. There is only one thing he can do now, run away.
Run quickly.
If you don't run away, just wait and go to Beichen Hall for tea.
As for this mess, we can only leave it to the eighth day.
Qi Xuansu is like the devil in the legend of the Western Continent. He fulfilled the eighth day's wish to solve the case, but he did so in an extremely twisted way, with extremely terrible consequences.
But reaching this point was not Qi Xuansu’s original intention. Who could have expected it?
Qi Xuansu quickly returned to the signing room.
On the eighth day, Yang is still waiting here.
On the way back, Qi Xuansu considered a very important question: Should he truthfully tell the eighth day the results of the process?
What if you tell Ba Tianyang and Ba Tianyang is afraid that he will not be able to bear the consequences and forcibly detains him and Liu Hu to pay for the crime to Daomen?
If you don't have a heart-to-heart talk with Eighth Tianyang, when the Taoist sect sends someone to inquire, Eighth Dayang will inevitably reveal his key information, which is not much better than the first situation.
The key lies in what kind of person you are on the eighth day.
After a battle between heaven and man, Qi Xuansu decided to trust his own vision and judgment and tell the eighth day everything truthfully.
On the eighth day, Yang was startled when he saw Qi Xuansu coming back covered in blood.
Before the eighth day could ask, Qi Xuansu had already said: "As we expected, the murderer is Su Ran, the Taoist priest in charge of Huasheng Hall. She wanted to kill me, and I had to kill her to protect myself."
On the eighth day, Yang was shocked. He was silent for a moment and said, "In this case, Brother Wei should leave this place immediately."
"The two Taoist priests in charge of 'Tianle Taoyuan', one was imprisoned in Tianle Palace, and the other was killed. Both of these things are related to us. When I leave, you will be the only one left. The Taoist side will inquire
Get up, can you bear it?" Qi Xuansu asked.
On the eighth day, Yang smiled bitterly: "You have to bear it even if you can't help it. After all, this matter happened because of me. If I hadn't asked Brother Wei to help me investigate the case, I wouldn't have caused such a mess. Furthermore, Liu Futing acted recklessly, and Su
Ran's random killings are all irrefutable evidence, and the truth is on our side after all. And we are all members of the court. Even if we have to deal with it, we have to write a document for the cabinet, and then the cabinet issues the decree. Therefore, the Taoist sect can at most put pressure on the cabinet and cannot
Just do something to us."
Qi Xuansu slowly loosened the clenched fists in his sleeves, breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "Eighth brother, I am not as good as you."
On the eighth day, Yang said in a deep voice: "This matter can't be kept secret for long, Brother Wei should leave as soon as possible."
Qi Xuansu said: "Don't be busy, I will tell you the specific process first, so that you can be aware of it."
On the eighth day, Yang Yang was startled, then nodded.
So Qi Xuansu started talking about when he entered the warehouse, how he questioned Su Ran, how Su Ran admitted it calmly, Su Ran explained why he killed people, and then it was revealed until Su Ran showed his true body and his last words when he was dying.
.
Hearing this, not only Eighth Day Yang, but also Liu Hu couldn't help but exclaim.
The dignified Taoist priest of the fourth grade of Taoism, the head of Huasheng Hall, is actually a four-tailed fox demon? And the reason why this four-tailed fox demon kills people is even more unbelievable. It is not to eat people's hearts, nor to fight for power, but to defend Taoism.
?
Qi Xuansu said: "We can't figure it out. There must be someone in the Taoist sect who can figure it out, so we don't need to think too much."
On the eighth day, Yang nodded.
Qi Xuansu ordered: "Eighth brother, the top priority now is Tianle Palace and the warehouse."
"First, Liu Futong cannot be allowed to come out. In the officialdom, there is strife in the officialdom. Unless one blow is fatal, there is rarely a moment of quarrel. Either you will not offend, or you will offend to the end without leaving any consequences. If you beat the snake and survive, you will be punished.
Backlash. We have already offended Liu Futong. If we let him out of trouble, then in order to escape guilt, he will most likely use Su Ran's incident to frame him or kill someone to silence him."
"Second, don't let anyone get close to Su Ran's body. This is ironclad evidence. Don't let irrelevant people know the inside story about Su Ran, so as not to escalate the situation. It's best for only the eighth brother to know about it. Wait until someone from the Taoist sect comes,
It’s up to them.”
"Third, strike first, and strike later will be controlled by others. Now that the two Taoist priests in charge are unable to take charge, the Taoist disciples are leaderless. This gives the eighth brother an opportunity to intervene in 'Tianle Taoyuan' to control the situation. The eighth brother's Qingluan can
If Wei steps in to control the situation, he will inevitably encounter opposition from the Taoist disciples, so the eighth brother should run the Taoist sect in the name of Qingluan Guard’s Seventh Thousand Household and take the initiative in his own hands."
On the eighth day, Yang Yang's eyes lit up: "What Brother Wei said is absolutely true. You can learn from it."
In fact, there is another dangerous move, which is to release Liu Futong, the two sides reach a compromise, cover up each other, and put all the blame on the dead Su Ran, and it is confirmed that Su Ran set up a trap to kill people in order to fight for power and gain. In this way
, Liu Futong passed the test, Qi Xuansu also passed the test, everything was fine.
But Qi Xuansu couldn't bear to do it when he thought of Su Ran's last words. In the end, he decided to leave only one truth and let the Taoists judge whether Su Ran was right or wrong.
