Qi Jianyuan was dead, and Qi Xuansu was the first to discover it. Even though Sun Hewu, the real person in charge of the palace, had already made a conclusion and the murderer's body was found, there were still some rumors that Qi Xuansu was suspicious. After all, he had a relationship with Qi Jianyuan.
Many people celebrate the festival and even get into fights because of it. This is something that many people have witnessed.
As for the dead female instructor, it is said that she was a demon in a secret society, but there is no real evidence, or there is real evidence, but due to various reasons, it has not been made public.
So there were rumors that the murder was caused by love, and they were said to be a couple, and they had reached the age of marriage. The female instructor was old and eager to get married, but Qi Jianyuan had a bright future, was young and promising, but didn't want to
They got married immediately, but the female instructor repeatedly forced her to marry. Qi Jianyuan came to see the female instructor this time just to discuss the matter. However, the two had deep conflicts. They fought after a disagreement, and eventually died together.
Because Qi Jianyuan was born in the Qi family and had a distinguished family background, in order to cover up the scandal, he used various connections to describe this female teacher, who was usually kind to others, as a demon who formed a secret society.
Qi Xuansu didn't care at all about these rumors, or he couldn't care less. At this time, in the huge square of Qianyuan, Qi Xuansu finally met Yao Pei, who had arrived belatedly.
The two of them sat at opposite ends of the same stone bench.
Because Yao Pei practiced the "Tai Shang Forgetting Love Sutra", he couldn't see much shock, but he could still hear something from his words: "This matter is really beyond my expectation."
Judging from Yao Pei's behavior when she met Qi Xuansu in her dream, she did not intend to return to the upper palace immediately, but to stay in the lower palace for a while. As a result, such an accident occurred and she had to come back early.
Qi Xuansu said: "Aren't you the 'God of Fortune'? I thought everything was under your control."
"It seems that I haven't mastered my 'Heavenly Calculation' yet." Yao Pei said expressionlessly, "Tell me what you think."
Qi Xuansu first told his entire experience, and then said: "From the time when my Yin spirit returned to my body to when I arrived at the scene, it took about one stick of incense, and only this stick of incense left me.
sight, both of them died, I don’t think they died together.”
Yao Pei said thoughtfully: "You mean that the female instructor killed Qi Jianyuan, and then was silenced by others when she wanted to escape."
Qi Xuansu said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Judging from the situation before I left, Qi Jianyuan does not have the ability to kill the female instructor at all."
Yao Pei said: "From the time you left to the time you returned, it only took one stick of incense. Let's assume that our speculation is true, and it turns out that
There is a murderer who kills people. Just as you left, the murderer arrived. It would be too much of a coincidence that you passed by each other. Then the greater possibility is that the murderer has been hiding aside. After you left, he used Qi Jianyuan's flying sword to hit you.
Kill the female instructor. As for why the murderer wanted to kill and silence her, the reasons are not difficult to guess. One is that the formation of the Wanxiang Tao Palace isolates the inside and outside, so she cannot escape at all. The other is that her vitality is severely injured, even without the formation.
Even if she is blocked, she cannot escape. Instead of letting her fall into the hands of the Taoist sect and be followed by the Taoist sect, it is better to cut off the tail of the gecko and save the others."
Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Yao Pei continued: "Let's continue to assume that this speculation about murder and silence is true, then did the murderer notice your peeping? If it is not a coincidence, but he deliberately waited for you to leave, then does it mean that the two of you know each other?
? Or maybe the murderer is very famous in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, and many people recognize him. Because the incident happened in a hurry, he had no time to disguise himself, and he was not sure that he could kill your Yin Shen with one blow, so he could only act like this."
Qi Xuansu agreed: "At that time, Qi Jianyuan and I were at the end of their strength. If you want to kill people and silence them, you don't need a very high level of cultivation. It makes sense to say that this person is not sure that he can kill me with one blow. In this way, the range
It will be much smaller.”
Yao Pei kept pinching his knuckles with his thumb: "The key is how to confirm our first hypothesis, that there is really such a murderer."
Qi Xuansu said: "The female instructor died under Qi Jianyuan's flying sword. If someone else really used this sword to kill the female instructor, there would definitely be some traces left."
Yao Pei asked: "Where is the flying sword?"
Qi Xuansu said: "It should be at Mr. Sun's place."
Yao Pei stood up and said, "I'm going to see Mr. Sun. No matter what, when a person dies, there must be an explanation."
Qi Xuansu also stood up: "What about me?"
Yao Pei glanced at him: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you should do whatever you want."
Qi Xuansu asked again: "How are you handling the matter in the lower palace?"
Yao Pei said: "I can't care about it for the time being. I originally wanted to finish my work in one battle and catch all these people in one fell swoop. Now it seems that it is no longer realistic. Let's see what Master says. I want to focus on it now.
When investigating the cause of Qi Jianyuan's death, the closure of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace has been a tradition for many years. During the closure period, it is reasonable for one or two people to come in.
, if people are sent in on a large scale, this will break the rules, and it will immediately spread throughout the entire Taoist sect, so for a while, the master will not send people in again. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and now such a case has occurred,
The Wanxiang Taoist Palace will definitely tighten its control, and people inside will not be able to get out. This is an excellent opportunity. If our guesses just now are true, then I will catch this big fish with my own hands."
Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said: "No matter what, Qi Jianyuan died for Taoism. Although I had conflicts with him, everything is in vain after death, so count me among them."
Yao Pei glanced at Qi Xuansu: "Are you so kind?"
Qi Xuansu said: "Of course I don't have such good intentions. I have both public and private considerations. I suddenly want to understand one thing. The target of the statue of the Holy Master at the bottom of Xingye Lake is too big. It is really difficult to take action. Even if you succeed, it will be easy.
Exposed, and this kind of thing belongs to the corner of the tunnel door. If you really do it, wouldn't it be the same as the people of Taiping Dao? I can be regarded as reining in the cliff and repenting. But these demons of Ziguang Society may have some
Divine power.”
Yao Pei looked at Qi Xuansu: "You are aware, why don't you notice it usually?"
Qi Xuansu pointed out: "If necessary, I can be more enlightened. There is a saying, you treat me as a scholar, I will repay you as a scholar. There is another sentence, which seems to be a Confucian scholar.
It is said that if the king treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart and soul; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit. How should they be treated by others?
Me, I will repay others in this way. Master Pei and Master Donghua are willing to promote me, so of course I will stand on their side. Zhang Qingxiao does not look down on me because of my humble background, but treats me as an equal and sincerely, so that I can
She gave up her life. Qiniang treats me as my son, and I treat her as my own mother. Qing Xiao has a saying that is right, you don’t have to be a saint or a perfect person, you don’t have to be a good person, but don’t do it.
Villain."
Yao Pei shook his head and said: "It's still the same thing as a scholar dying for his confidant. If you position yourself as a 'scholar', how can you achieve great things?"
Qi Xuansu smiled and said: "I am a commoner and a wild Taoist priest. If I don't become a scholar, do I still want to be a king?"
Yao Pei said no more and said: "Then I will leave you alone, I will go see Mr. Sun first."
Qi Xuansu asked doubtfully: "Are you sure that you can detect the tiny traces that may or may not exist through the flying sword?"
Yao Pei looked at him like a fool: "I don't have such ability, but Mr. Sun does. I just need to give him a warning. The rest
He will naturally do the next thing, and no matter what the result is, it will be more convincing than my personal verification."
Qi Xuansu choked, waved his hand, and deliberately said in an elder's tone: "Go, Mr. Sun should be in his signing room."
Yao Pei turned around and left without any regret.
Qi Xuansu looked at Yao Pei's back and whispered: "No big or small, just talk to uncle like this."
Yao Pei, who had already walked some distance, seemed to hear Qi Xuansu's words, and suddenly stopped, then turned slightly sideways and raised his hand.
A cold light flashed.
The speed was so fast that Qi Xuansu not only didn't see it clearly, he didn't even have time to react. He only felt his cheeks getting cold and a few hair strands falling leisurely.
The wound was not deep, and it was insignificant for Qi Xuansu, who had supernatural powers derived from flesh and blood. However, this speed and accuracy surprised Qi Xuansu, even more so than the flying sword. He turned around suddenly and saw only one
The small flying knife sank into the stone pillar not far away, leaving only the handle exposed.
Yao Pei had no intention of taking back the flying knife, and turned around and left.
Qi Xuansu came to the stone pillar, took out a lot of effort to pull out the flying knife, and murmured: "Such a 'heavenly knife'?"
Then Qi Xuansu tried the material of the flying knife again. It was not a treasure, not even a spiritual object. It was similar to the "thin tiger knife" of the Qingluan Guards, but such a knife could still stab after leaving the hand.
Entering the stone pillar made of special material, it can be seen that Yao Pei's flying knife is terrifying, and it is definitely not comparable to Qi Xuansu's "sword control skill".
Qi Xuansu held the flying knife in his hand, with the blade facing the palm of his hand.
Without the application of external force, it would be difficult to injure his body with just the blade of the flying knife.
But after Yao Pei applied external force, he easily scratched Qi Xuansu's face.
Qi Xuansu reached out and touched the healed wound.
If this knife was not a more serious warning, but was aimed at his throat, if this ordinary flying knife were replaced by a spiritual object or treasure, would it only take one knife to kill a person below the level of a heavenly being?
Qi Xuansu's feeling of being better than Qi Jianyuan was gone.
If his opponent is not Qi Jianyuan, but Yao Pei, I'm afraid he will lose miserably. Even if Yao Pei doesn't use the "Gong Candle Staff", Qi Xuansu feels that he doesn't have much chance of winning. If she uses the "Gong Candle Staff"
, I’m afraid even Zhang Yuelu can’t defeat her.
If Yao Pei were to face that female instructor, only one person would be enough.
