Chapter 195: Do not add entities unless necessary

"Pu Zhi had the Bloodthirsty Pearl in his hand. One of the nineteen of us noticed something was going on, so we wanted to kill Pu Zhi and snatch the Bloodthirsty Pearl."

Daoxuan spoke while looking at the abbots and elders in front of him.

"This is the most likely start that I have deduced, and there are not many loopholes in it."

"The problem is, after that, that is, after that person used the Divine Sword to Control Thunder Technique, all the people in Cao Miao Village were killed. Why?"

"Quiet?"

Zeng Shuchang, the head monk of Fenghui Peak, pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Maybe he's worried that someone might hear the secret formula of the Divine Sword's Lightning Control Technique."

"Then why are Lin Jingyu and Su Dingan still alive?"

Daoxuan asked again.

"Just like what I said to Su Dingan just now, that man wants to kill, but he will not let Su Dingan and Lin Jingyu go. Pu Zhi wants to save, but he will not save only these two. There is no answer to this question. And there is another point that you junior brothers and sisters may not know. The old monk Pu Zhi disappeared. After hearing that he returned to Tianyin Temple, he disappeared again. No one has seen him since then. Maybe he was seriously injured and died, or maybe he was practicing somewhere and never came out again. But this is not important. What is important is that he finally returned to Tianyin Temple."

"You know, Qingyun Sect is more than ten thousand miles away from Tianyin Temple. The fact that he was able to go back shows that he was not completely exhausted at that time. If he was not completely exhausted, with Master Puzhi's great compassion, how could he watch the people of Caomiao Village being slaughtered?"

"Maybe, he's not here anymore?"

"Then, again, why are Lin Jingyu and Su Dingan both safe and sound, and even placed together?"

As expected, when things got to this point, everyone fell into deep thought. Indeed, it was understandable why some of them took action, and it was also understandable that they wanted to kill people to silence them afterwards, but they had to leave two people alive, which was unreasonable no matter how you looked at it, not to mention how talented Lin Jingyu was. For such a potential threat, no one with a normal brain would be able to leave anyone alive.

Shaking his head, Daoxuan raised his head and looked at the people in front of him.

"So, I think this matter is most likely caused by a demon from the Demon Cult. The demon used the name of our Qingyun Sect's Divine Sword and Thunder Controlling Secret Art and used some kind of thunder magic. After all, you all know that in this world, it's not only our Qingyun Sect that can use thunder magic. Although the Southern Frontier Fenxiang Valley is mainly based on fire, their core is the Qimen Dunjia, which can borrow a lot of external forces. Or some of the demon's quick success methods also have similar abilities."

"As for why Su Dingan and Lin Jingyu were able to survive, that is truly an unsolved mystery."

Qingyun Gate, Tongtian Peak, Back Mountain Ancestral Hall
"You haven't been to my place for some time."

Daoxuan offered a stick of incense to the Qingyun Sect predecessors in the ancestral hall.

Behind him, an old man who looked a little hunched was gently sweeping the dust on the ground. His face was full of wrinkles like gullies. The only hand left was like the root of a dead tree. Naturally, this man was Wan Jianyi. Their master had forcibly used the Zhuxian Sword, but was controlled by the violence in the sword. The two of them worked together to kill the master, but they happened to be seen by others. For the reputation of Qingyun Sect's Zhuxian Sword and his master's reputation, Wan Jianyi resolutely took everything on and was executed.

In the end, Daoxuan used his extraordinary means to save Wan Jianyi and let him hide in the ancestral hall.

"Why, you're uneasy?"

Looking at Daoxuan's back, Wan Jianyi couldn't help but ask.

"Ah."

Daoxuan nodded and recounted what had happened during the day, especially the end, when they discussed it over and over again but could not come to a definite conclusion.

"You are the one who is in charge."

"Oh?"

"You, don't worry about who dies and who doesn't. You need to make sure of one thing first. Is this incident related to our Qingyun Sect? As for why those two guys are still alive, is it important?"

Wan Jianyi curled his lips.

"Five years ago, there were a total of twenty people in my Qingyun Sect who could use the divine sword to control lightning. Excluding me and you, there are still eighteen people left."

"Brother, even if it is these eighteen people, it is extremely difficult to investigate their past. After all, our Qingyun Sect is too big, and the distances between different mountains are so far."

"Fool!"

Wan Jianyi hit the ground with a broom.

"You practice every day and you've made yourself stupid!"

"Let me ask you, if even you can't recognize that it is the Bloodthirsty Pearl, how can others recognize it?"

"because."

"Because he has been paying attention! If there is such a person, he must have fallen into the devil's way long ago. No matter how he disguises himself on weekdays, you just need to know that if you find the person who disappears from time to time, the problem must be with him. After all, this person would never dare to practice devil's skills in Qingyun Sect easily, don't you think?"

"I see."

Hearing Wan Jianyi's words, Daoxuan's eyes became much clearer. He could only say that he was worthy of being the designated successor of the Dragon Slaying Sword. Senior Brother always did things like this, always pointing the sword at the core, and whoever stood in my way would die.
But soon, Daoxuan's face drooped.

"Why, who did you think of?"

Wan Jianyi chuckled, they grew up together. Daoxuan's talent for cultivation was higher than his, and his personality was also good, otherwise he would not have saved him. But his brain was average, or his emotional intelligence was average. When they were young, he teased him a lot.

"I thought of it"

Daoxuan sighed.

"Except for the eighteen of us, if there is anyone who can leave Qingyun Sect at will, without restraint, and no one will care, it can only be Junior Brother Cangsong. After all, he is the punishment elder of Qingyun Sect and often inspects Qingyun Sect and its surroundings on weekdays."

"Pine."

The smile on Wan Jianyi's face disappeared.
With his intelligence, he thought of a possibility in an instant.
Cangsong, this brat, thought that Daoxuan had killed him. With his personality, he was probably plotting revenge for himself, even at the cost of falling into the devil's way.
"Hey!"

Thinking of this, Wan Jianyi couldn't help but slap the table.

"Wrong, wrong, why did I forget about him?"

"But I don't believe it, Daoxuan. Even if this old guy fell into the devil's way to 'avenge you', I don't believe he would kill the people in Cao Miao Village." "But why did Lin Jingyu survive?"

Daoxuan sighed and spoke.

“Now that I think about it, he must have long been impressed by Lin Jingyu’s talent and wanted to train him to become the backbone of Longshou Peak, or even the chief. That’s why he didn’t want to kill Lin Jingyu. Su Dingan was just an extra. After all, leaving only Lin Jingyu behind was a bit too deliberate, wasn’t it?”

"Why didn't Tianyin Temple come to settle accounts with Qingyun Sect? After all, old monk Puzhi has faced the Divine Sword and Thunder Controlling Secret Art."

"Perhaps, they don't want the matter of the Bloodthirsty Pearl to be known to outsiders. After all, it is the Demon Cult's treasure. Once its whereabouts are leaked, I'm afraid the Demon Cult will attack it. Moreover, those old monks are mean and they wish there is something wrong with our Qingyun Sect. If they come to find us, wouldn't they be eliminating the traitor for us?"

In the end, Daoxuan could only explain it this way.

"So, Junior Brother, what are you going to do? Capture the Cangsong, or..."

"Cangsong, can't move."

After a long time, Daoxuan shook his head.

"Just like before, our Qingyun Sect cannot have any stain. This matter is an unsolved case. No matter who it is, it cannot be Qingyun Sect. After all, the two of them are still alive."

"Alright."

Wan Jian nodded. The reason why he gave up his own future and hid in this ancestral temple was also because of the reputation of Qingyun Sect.

"However, you have to be careful of Cangsong. I suspect that he has probably colluded with the demon from the Demon Cult and got an accurate description of the Bloodthirsty Pearl from them. That's why he was able to discover the existence of the Bloodthirsty Pearl from Old Monk Puzhi so quickly. In the future, if he approaches you on his own initiative, you must be cautious."

"I know."
-
"So, that's what happened."

Daoxuan sat on the seat of the head of Yuqing Palace. In front of him were Su Dingan and the trembling Lin Jingyu.

"Junior Brother Ding'an must have heard correctly. Someone must have sung the slogan of the Divine Sword Controlling Thunder Technique. However, Junior Brother Ding'an, Junior Brother Jingyu, you two have lived in my Qingyun Sect for so long, you are not children anymore, you should have thought clearly, if it was really an elder or the chief of my Qingyun Sect who took action, there would be no survivors, let alone two. What do you think?"

"call"

"I"

Lin Jingyu took a deep breath, his heart was filled with anger, but the master in front of him did not hide a single thing and told him all his speculations. It was indeed as he said. If it was that person, he would have died five years ago. Are you kidding me? Just because he has talent, he would leave behind such a tail that could destroy him at any time?
He doesn't think so highly of himself.
"So, Master, are you at a loss for words on this matter again?"

"Yes."

Daoxuan sighed.

"After all, not everything in this world can have a happy ending."

"How about this"

After pondering for a moment, Daoxuan spoke again.

"After all, the incident happened at the foot of my Qingyun Sect. It was my Qingyun Sect that failed to protect the people living at the foot of the mountain. So after this Seven Sects Martial Competition, you can go down the mountain with me to train. Afterwards, your contributions can be recorded and rewards can be given according to your merits. This is my Qingyun Sect's compensation to you. How do you think?"

Daoxuan was sincere. Just like Su Dingan guessed before, the first four were the ones that Qingyun Sect wanted to focus on training. If Lin Jingyu went down the mountain with him, there would be five people, which was considered a backdoor for him. The excuse to the outside world was this incident. Since Qingyun Sect couldn't catch the real culprit, it could only do this. I think other people couldn't say anything.
"In that case, thank you, Master."

After a long silence, Lin Jingyu nodded. Having lived in Qingyun Sect for so many years, he was no longer the ignorant child. He naturally knew that Taoist Master Daoxuan was telling the truth. In this world, how many villages had been massacred by the Demon Sect just to refine a magic weapon...
And how many of these evil cultivators have been caught?

Isn't it the daily freedom?
Reality, that's it——
To the east of Qingyun Gate is the most prosperous city, Heyang City.

After a month, Su Dingan's soul had been appeased, and the hidden injuries of the other people left by the Seven Clans Martial Competition had also healed.

So, including the extra Lin Jingyu, the group of five left Qingyun Sect and headed for Kongsang Mountain, three thousand miles away in the east. During the trip, they came to Heyang City for supplies. Of course, they just came to relax.

At least in this world, monks are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires, so there are often monks coming here to make up for their emotional values.

For example, Zeng Shushu is a frequent visitor here.

In fact, these people were led by Zeng Shushu and found an inn and restaurant called Shanhaiyuan, which is the one in the original book.

After taking his seat, Su Dingan looked around inconspicuously, but did not see the beautiful girl in aqua green clothes, who was the Bi Yao in the original novel. Calculating the time, he left Qingyun Sect a month later, just like in the original novel. The difference was that his flying speed was much faster than Zhang Xiaofan in the original novel. Therefore, it was reasonable that he did not meet Bi Yao in the restaurant area of ​​Shanhaiyuan.

"Aunt You, what do you want to eat?"

However, when talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

A clear and pleasant voice, like a silver bell, jumped into the ears of Su Dingan and others.

Before seeing the person, I heard her voice first, and a vivid, quirky girl appeared in my mind.
So, Zeng Shushu, the old pervert, looked over at first glance.

A moment later, eight people came up the stairs one after another, six men and two women. The six men were guards, and the two women were naturally Aunt You and Bi Yao. Moreover, it was certain that they must be cultivators. This could not be deceived. Whether a person had practiced cultivation or not could be seen at a glance.

"Junior brother Zeng, please do not look at anything inappropriate."

Although Qi Hao lost to Su Dingan, in terms of experience in the martial arts world, these two people could not catch up with him even if they tried their best. Therefore, Qi Hao was still the leader this time. For example, at this moment, he lightly patted Zeng Shushu's eyes and changed them.

"Looking at others recklessly like this can easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Ahem, Junior Brother, wake up!"

"Aunt You, why don't you speak?"

The eight people found a corner, with six men standing around and two women sitting there. It was obvious that they didn't want to be disturbed. However, the adult woman seemed to be a little uncomfortable after entering the room.
Hundreds of years ago
At that time, she was still the Saint of the Holy Church. The five people from Qingyun Sect, led by Wan Jianyi, fought their way in and out of their headquarters. Especially Wan Jianyi and his Dragon Slaying Sword, no one could stop them.
Even though he cut off Wan Jianyi's arm, it was because the other party showed mercy. And Wan Jianyi, under such circumstances, took off his veil without changing his expression and said, "Beautiful lady!"
"Seriously, you idiot."

The memory returned, and the woman called Aunt You took her eyes away from the Dragon Slaying Sword.
Unfortunately, things have changed now. Wan Jianyi killed his master for unknown reasons and was executed by Qingyun Sect.
A generation of genius has passed away.

Of course, these are all things of the past. She is no longer the girl whose heart was moved by Wan Jianyi's words.
What she was attracted by was that this young man could actually inherit the Dragon Slaying Sword.

So... does it mean that he is the genius of Qingyun Sect?
