Chapter 250 Where are you going?

Chapter 250 Where are you going?

Chapter 250 Where are you going?
There was silence in the room for a moment.

Chu Qing found it a little funny...

Cheng Tieshan, a big and strong man, was actually acting as a coroner performing an autopsy.

Although what he said made sense, I think Li Junmo would be able to see through this.

But if Li Junmo could see it, Tai Hengmen would still be so high-profile.

So... there are probably two intentions.

The first is to make the person who actually killed Zhao Qipeng mistakenly believe that Li Junmo had locked the identity of the assassin to the person outside the door.

Then all the people who came today, whether they were from Chu Qing, Ding'an Hall, Tiexue Hall, or even the King Kong Sect, were all suspects.

The water will become turbid, making the murderer think he can get away with it.

If Li Junmo secretly investigates the inside, it is possible for him to find clues about the murderer and catch him.

Second, it is possible that Li Junmo did it for outsiders to see.

The internal strife of Tai Heng Sect and the killing of Zhao Qipeng by one of their own people would not sound good if it were to spread.

Therefore, a large-scale search was carried out to search for the assassin in order to cover up the ugly incident of fighting among fellow disciples.

Of course, there is also a small possibility that Li Junmo really didn't see it and needed Cheng Tieshan to help him...

It's just that this possibility...can basically be ignored.

Chu Qing's gaze also fell on Zhao Qipeng, and his eyes moved slightly.

The body was intact. Just as Cheng Tieshan said, he was killed with one sword.

The blood flow was normal, and it was obviously not done by the Blood Prince.

In this case, Chu Qing lost interest in it.

The conflicts within Tai Heng Sect were their own closed-door affairs, and Chu Qing had no right to interfere.

Just when I was trying to find an excuse to leave, I heard Li Junmo sigh:

“I also know that the person who killed Senior Brother Zhao must be someone from our sect.

"However, now that the sword-granting ceremony is imminent, I hope you can keep this matter a secret for our Tai Heng Sect and leave this fig leaf behind."

As he spoke, he bowed to Chu Qing and the others.

Chu Qing and Cheng Tieshan all moved away. Cheng Tieshan waved his hand:

"There are many kinds of people, and when there are many people, it is inevitable that their minds will be different. Tai Heng Sect is like this, and my Tiexue Hall is no exception.

"Master Li, there is no need to do this. We will keep our mouths shut."

"That's good."

Li Junmo breathed a sigh of relief, and Chu Qing and others also took the opportunity to say goodbye. Li Junmo did not stop them and let them leave.

Just as he walked out of the yard, Guan Changying caught up with him again:
"Third Young Master, Young Master Lan, my master wants you two to come over."

Chu Qing and Lan Shuyi looked at each other.

Asking them to go over here at this juncture might be bad...

Chu Qing thought about it for a moment, but nodded again:
"it is good."

Wu Qianhuan glanced at him with a meaningful look in her eyes.

Chu Qing smiled, gave her a comforting look, and said softly:
"You guys go back and rest first. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when I get back."

Everyone nodded slightly and left.

Chu Qing bowed to Lan Shuyi:

"please."

"please!"

Lan Shuyi also followed suit.

Then the two of them followed Guan Changying back to the yard.

However, Li Junmo was no longer in the main hall, but came to a side room. After Chu Qing and Lan Shuyi went in, the door was closed from the outside.

"Please take a seat, both of you."

Li Junmo held a candlestick in his hand, and the flames reflected on his face, making him appear dim and strange, which was quite creepy.

Of course, this would not scare the famous executioner in Nanling, nor would it scare Chu Qing, who had killed countless people.

The two of them sat down casually. Li Junmo placed the candlestick on the table and wanted to pour them a cup of tea, but when he reached out and touched the teapot, it was cold.

There were no guests staying in the wing room, so naturally no hot tea was prepared.

Li Junmo seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and then sighed softly:
"You two are both extremely intelligent people. I think you should know why I asked you two to come here."

"I don't know, I don't understand, please, Master Li, please don't speak clearly."

Lan Shuyi spoke calmly, obviously not wanting to get involved in the mess of Tai Heng Sect.

He spoke very bluntly, telling Li Junmo not to speak out directly.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Chu Qing. He finally understood what was going on. Chu Qing didn't want to get involved in this mess.

But Chu Qing smiled:
"You don't dare to trust the people in Tai Heng Sect, so you plan to go all out and use the two of us to help you investigate the identity of the murderer?"

"..."

Lan Shuyi's eyes widened. What's the matter? That's not what you meant just now.

Now that you've made it so clear, are you going to agree to it?
"The Third Young Master is indeed extremely smart."

Li Junmo nodded:
"In that case, Mr. Lan, please go back."

He doesn't force anyone...

Lan Shuyi squinted his eyes and looked at Chu Qing, but suddenly smiled:
"I suddenly don't want to go back. I'm now very interested in the person who killed Zhao Qipeng. I really want to find him and chop him into small pieces."

Chu Qing coughed when he heard this:
"Brother Lan, are you related to Senior Zhao? Why is there such a deep hatred?"

Lan Shuyi ignored this and turned to look at Li Junmo:
"We two will help you investigate this matter."

Li Junmo was also stunned by his unpredictable personality.

But after all, he was the head of Tai Heng Sect, a knowledgeable man, so he was not really stunned.

He nodded slightly:
"Since you two are willing to help, that would be great.

"You two also know that the sword-granting ceremony is imminent, and Tai Heng Sect cannot be in chaos... I have no choice but to ask you two to take action."

Li Junmo said as he glanced at Lan Shuyi.

On the surface, he seemed calm and composed, but in his heart he was speechless.

According to his understanding, Lan Shuyi should not care about this matter.

The reason for calling the two people back was just to show respect.

Lan Shuyi's original behavior was also within his expectations...so what he wanted to say next was meant for Chu Qing alone.

But now that Lan Shuyi has stayed, I have to think carefully about how to say this.

Chu Qing nodded:

"Let's put aside the other things. Has this Senior Zhao ever had any grudges against anyone?"

“That’s what I can’t figure out.”

Li Junmo sighed:
"Senior Brother Zhao is an honest man with a dull personality and is not good at speaking, so he is very careful about his words and actions.

“I am always careful in what I say and do, for fear of giving others something to talk about.

"Therefore, everyone he made friends with throughout his life praised him highly... and there was never any grudge against him."

Lan Shuyi frowned:

"I know Zhao Qipeng. He is indeed a good man. Moreover, he has only been down the mountain a few times in his life. His personality is not suitable for wandering in the martial arts world. He is easily sold out.

“So, it’s impossible that someone from outside had an enemy relationship and colluded with someone inside to kill him.

"As for his social connections within the Tai Heng Sect... Although I don't know much about Ding'an Hall, it is true as Sect Leader Li said. He is always kind to others and never easily makes enemies with anyone."

"So, why did the murderer kill him?"

Chu Qing looked at Li Junmo, then at Lan Shuyi.

Both of them fell silent.

At the very least, someone who kills someone must have a motive.

Even if two groups of people suddenly started fighting, there was probably a "what are you looking at" or "what's wrong with you" moment. There was no killing without reason.

The problem now is that everyone says Zhao Qipeng is a good guy. No one would ever want to kill him, and he never makes enemies.

But he died.

Someone stabbed him through the heart with a sword.

Where exactly is the grudge hidden in this?
As for the clues left on the body, they were nothing more than sword marks and wounds. From this, it has been concluded that someone from within the Tai Heng Sect was responsible.

However, there are too many disciples in Taiheng Sect, and assassinating one's fellow disciples, or even their elders, is a heinous crime.

Without solid evidence, who would dare to easily accuse someone of such a serious crime?
It seems that this matter has reached a deadlock before it has even been truly investigated.

Lan Shuyi tapped his fingers lightly on the table and suddenly looked at Li Junmo:

“If I remember correctly, there is a Ten Thousand Swords Forest inside Tai Heng Gate.

"What's hidden in the Ten Thousand Swords Forest is not a sword..."

Aren’t there swords hidden in the Forest of Ten Thousand Swords?

Chu Qing was a little surprised. What was hidden there?
"It's a life story."

Li Junmo saw Chu Qing's doubts and answered softly.

Lan Shuyi added:

"Tai Heng Sect is famous for its swords. People in the world think that swordsmen should focus on swords, but Tai Heng Sect believes that swords are external objects and talent is the key.

“For a swordsman to raise a sword, he needs the swordsman first, and the sword second.

"If a swordsman is useless, the sword he raises will also be a broken sword.

“So, to cultivate the sword one must first cultivate the person.

"If a person is not capable, even if you are given the best sword in the world, it will not be as useful as a fire stick.

"So, the sword is an external object, and the person is the sword soul.

"The Forest of Ten Thousand Swords...is actually a huge ancestral hall. It records the history of the Tai Heng Sect from its inception to the present day, and the life stories of every disciple and every sword of the Tai Heng Sect."

This argument is quite interesting.

To cultivate sword skills, one must first cultivate oneself.

Chu Qing suddenly felt that this actually made sense.

Chu Qing has always felt that the argument that "the sword is alive as long as the person is alive, and the person dies when the sword dies" is too extreme.

For an assassin, weapons are just tools to achieve the goal. If the tools are broken, does that mean he will stop doing his job?

At worst, I can just find another tool.

Swordsmen should be like this too. Otherwise, if you meet someone who is proficient in magic skills such as the Blood-Transforming Palm, the opponent will not only destroy your sword secretly, but also commit suicide directly.

Also hit a hammer.

Li Junmo looked at Lan Shuyi silently, and the first thing he said was:

"Master Lan knows my Tai Heng Sect very well."

Lan Shuyi didn't feel embarrassed at all and said with a smile:

"Don't be surprised, Sect Leader Li. Our hall master is very ambitious, so he must understand all the forces in Nanling.

"After all, you shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others."

I bother!

The previous sentence was that your hall master is ambitious, and the next sentence becomes that he is on guard against others?
You can't believe a word this kid says.

Chu Qing silently complained in his heart and decided to stay away from Lan Shuyi in the future. Someone who could be called an executioner was indeed not a good person.

Then asked:

"But since this is the life story of a disciple, I wonder if the life story of Senior Zhao has been recorded in the book?"

"Naturally there is."

Li Junmo said:
“It’s not just him. Even if it’s a new disciple, his life is recorded in it.

"However, these records may not be completely accurate..."

Chu Qing understood what he meant. If the parties involved did not want others to know about some things, they could naturally avoid being recorded.

For example, killing Zhao Qipeng was done secretly and no one noticed.

If the person who recorded it could even record this in the book, then there would be no need to investigate anything.

"But it's a clue after all."

Lan Shuyi smiled and said:
"Master Li, how about opening the Ten Thousand Swords Forest and letting the two of us go in and take a look? Maybe we can find some clues there."

Li Junmo stopped talking.

The Wanjian Forest records the life stories of Taiheng Sect's disciples, and therefore contains many of Taiheng Sect's secrets, and even many martial arts that are not passed on to outsiders.

Chu Qing had some feelings for Ling Beichen, so it was reasonable for him to go in reluctantly.

But Lan Shuyi... this guy has evil intentions, how can we let him into the Ten Thousand Swords Forest?
Lan Shuyi didn't say anything either, just looked at Li Junmo with a smile.

Chu Qing's eyes lingered between the two and he said softly:

"How about this, Master Li, you take out the life story of this Senior Zhao and let us take a look at it?"

“All these lives and swords in the Ten Thousand Swords Forest are worshipped with incense.

“Can’t move easily.”

Li Junmo sighed:
"Well, I agree to this matter, but you can't go in alone.

"Tomorrow morning, you and Changying will go into the Ten Thousand Swords Forest together."

When he said this, he took out a token and handed it to Chu Qing:
"Third Young Master, it is hard to say whether this matter is difficult or not. This token allows you to move freely in my Tai Heng Sect, except for some restricted areas like the Ten Thousand Swords Forest."

"Thank you."

Chu Qing put the token away:

"I will return this token to you after this matter is over."

Li Junmo hesitated for a moment and did not answer, but said:

"It's getting late tonight, you two should go back and rest."

"Farewell."

"please."

The two men walked out of the yard and were immediately greeted by the members of Pojun.

Chu Qing and Lan Shuyi looked at each other, and then Lan Shuyi chuckled and said:

"Master Li is on guard against me."

Chu Qing didn't respond, but just asked:

"Why would you agree? From the perspective of Ding'an Hall, there is no reason for you to meddle in Taihengmen's affairs."

"What about you? Why did you agree?"

Lan Shuyi stared at Chu Qing.

"Of course it's for fairness and justice!"

Chu Qing spoke righteously and naturally would not tell him that after he agreed to this matter, he could take over the investigation naturally after killing Wudao and Xingzhi.

Just... let the murderer investigate for themselves who killed them.

Isn't this a ridiculous thing?

The final result, of course, is nothing!

Why not agree to such a good thing that can eliminate all future troubles?

Lan Shuyi couldn't see any guilt on Chu Qing's face.

After a brief pause, Lan Shuyi said softly:

"Third Young Master, see you tomorrow morning."

After saying this, he waved his hand and was about to leave with Pojun's people.

But the next moment, Chu Qing held his shoulder down:
"Where are you going before I answer your question?"
