Chapter 17 There Are No Two People Here
Chapter 17 There is no one here
The truth in this sentence is simple.
Regardless of whether the killer was hired by Changzhou Academy or not, judging from the current objective facts, Changzhou Academy and the assassination of Lin Wanyi are inextricably linked.
The latter brought shame to the Changzhou Academy yesterday by provoking it in public, and today he almost lost his life in an assassination attempt, so it is only natural that the academy would be under suspicion.
Perhaps this was the mastermind behind the incident trying to divert the blame, but Lin Wanyi obviously didn't care. She was happy to see Changzhou Academy die.
Gu Zhuo has no grudges against Changzhou Academy, only interests, so his view of it is much purer.
He said, "Huang Xinping arrived in Wangjing in the early winter of last year, which is nearly half a year ago. During this half year, he could not find a chance to assassinate you. It was not until this morning that he suddenly discovered a loophole in the Lin family's formation and was able to complete the assassination."
Lin Wanyi heard this and said nothing.
"There are two possibilities. One is that there is something fishy going on here, and the other is that there is a powerful person secretly paving the way for Huang Xinping. No matter which case it is, it means that what you have done has exceeded the bottom line of the mastermind behind the scenes, and all this started when you stole the limelight at Changzhou Academy."
Gu Zhuo looked at her seriously and said, "For this reason, it is a very reasonable approach for us to continue to have a quarrel with Changzhou Academy."
Lin Wanyi was silent for a moment, then asked, "What do you think is the bottom line of the mastermind behind this?"
"Fame? Or something else."
Gu Zhuo shook his head slightly and said, "There is too little information at present, and it is meaningless to make any inferences."
Lin Wanyi said no more and reached out to close the window.
The sunlight was blocked, and the light in the room dimmed.
"Next, I will do everything I can to get Changzhou Academy to hand over the Tongsheng Pill to you."
The shadow covered the girl's beautiful face, making her eyes appear even darker and blacker. Even this sentence, which was almost a statement, became moving.
"it is good."
Gu Zhuo was not polite at all.
Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "So can you do me a favor now?"
Gu Zhuo said without hesitation, "Please speak."
Lin Wanyi looked into his eyes, her smile becoming more gentle, and asked, "I'm going to take a good bath and then have a good sleep. Could you please leave my room first?"
……
……
A residential building opposite the small land temple in the west of Wangjing City.
"...You all understand, right?"
Chen Chi squatted on the door frame, looking at the body lying on the ground, his tone quite subtle.
Yu Yinchun and Guan Xingu hesitated for a moment, then nodded one after another, with much more complicated expressions.
What he was referring to was the entire fighting process between Gu Zhuo and the killer.
Of course, in reality it could hardly be called a fight.
Therefore, when the three strong men from the Sky Patrol kept a low profile, did not alarm anyone along the way, and came directly to the scene that had not been destroyed, and carefully investigated and came to this conclusion, they felt so strange.
"The deceased had experienced extreme fear in his last moments before his death."
Chen Chi was still squatting, and he spoke slowly, "Even though he mustered up his courage in the end and chose to face the source of his fear, it was still useless. He was easily killed in the blink of an eye... He didn't even have the chance to fight or struggle."
The other two people standing outside the house remained silent.
It was because they saw this fact that they hesitated before and did not dare to believe that what they saw was true.
"is it possible……"
Yu Yinchun frowned and said, "Was there a third person in the field at that time?" Chen Chi stood up, looked at the chair where Gu Zhuo had sat, and suddenly said, "Only by washing the marrow and refining the Qi can one reach the truth, and nourishing the Yin spirit and following the will of heaven and earth can finally achieve unity...How many people in Wangjing have reached the Unity Realm now?"
Washing the marrow, refining the qi, attaining the truth, the yin spirit, carrying the intention, and the last word mentioned in the speech, returning to oneness, are all nouns for realms on the path of cultivation, describing the first four stages and the second realm among the three realms and seven stages respectively.
Every practitioner will start with marrow cleansing, constantly tempering the body to make it suitable for practice, and then begin to refine Qi and condense true essence, in order to open their eyes to see the grandeur of heaven and earth, embark on the true path, and gain insight into the truth.
However, even in today's heyday of spiritual practice, the vast majority of practitioners are trapped in the first stage of Qi Refining throughout their entire lives and are slow to achieve the ultimate state. This is why the ultimate state is called the first realm on the road of spiritual practice.
The reason why the summer festival is taken seriously by sects all over the world is that most of the young people who participate in it can enter the realm of truth and become the backbone of the sect.
As for the second level state of nourishing the spirit and returning to oneness mentioned in the second half of Chen Chi's sentence, it is the realm that ordinary practitioners dream of. Looking at the whole world, they can be called strong.
Guan Xingu thought for a moment and said, "There should be about five people in the Guiyi realm in Wangjing, all of whom are people of high status. It is very unlikely that they would personally take action against a killer who has not yet been fully understood."
“Unless these five people take action, or unless those old monsters above the Guiyi realm take action, it will be impossible to hide it from my eyes.”
After a moment of silence, Chen Chi looked down at the body on the ground and said seriously, "Gu Zhuo killed this man himself. It was a fatal move."
Yu Yinchun hesitated for a long time and asked in a low voice: "Brother, could you have done the same thing back then?"
"Killing him with one sword... probably possible."
Chen Chi's tone was certain.
As he spoke, the scene at that time vaguely reappeared before his eyes.
The killer holding a sharp knife fought for his life, and the young man in black shirt stood up calmly, and their figures intersected and overlapped for a moment, and then separated... the victory and defeat, as well as life and death, were decided.
So Chen Chi added: "But at that time, I had already stepped half a foot into the cave, and Gu Zhuo is still in the Qi Refining stage, so at that time, I was not as good as him in terms of fighting."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yinchun and Guan Xingu were stunned.
The reason why the two had doubts before was naturally because Chen Chi was extremely strong when he was young. He once competed with geniuses from all over the world in a summer festival, and finally still entered the top ten with an unstoppable momentum.
At that time, he was known for his bellicosity and love of fighting.
However, even such a Chen Chi had to admit that he was not as good as Gu Zhuo when he was young. So what was the situation with the latter?
……
……
After leaving the house, Chen Chi looked up at the door opposite.
An orange cat was lazily lying on the wall, squinting its eyes, basking in the sun, facing the scene.
He looked at the orange cat quietly for a while, and only after he was sure that there was no problem did he look away and walk out of the alley with his two colleagues.
The moment I stepped out of the alley, noise came like a wave. But it was not the usual sound of vendors hawking vegetables, but rather people constantly discussing something new.
"This is really going to get exciting. The one before him just dropped out of school, and now this one is declaring that he wants to compete for first place?"
"I'm afraid the Changzhou Academy will lose face."
"I don't think so. The main reason is that the summer festival is not just about realm. Fighting is also a very important part. The whole Wangjing knows that he can't fight. How can he win the championship?"
Hearing these voices, Chen Chi's expression became very subtle.
He randomly found a neighbor and asked curiously, "Are you talking about Gu Zhuo?"
"Or else?"
The neighbor thought he was really baffled and asked, "Except for Gu Zhuo, who else in Wangjing is qualified to compete for the first place in the summer festival?"
I talked to the editor yesterday, and made some changes to the previous article, mainly enriching the details in a few places and strengthening the logic of the actions. These are all very trivial things, so I won’t go into details here.
Then the current update time is 2pm and 8pm.
