Chapter 256 Goodbye Qixue!
Chapter 256 Goodbye Qixue!
Disciples of Tai Heng Sect were sent out to search for the murderer who killed Wu Dao.
Chu Qing and Lan Shuyi were not idle either, they were wandering around Tai Heng Gate.
Look here and there, asking people for the story of how Ling Beichen killed the traitor.
Many people knew about this incident, but few knew the details.
Some people know that the traitor is called Qi Luo, who designed to kill the old leader, who was also Ling Beichen's mentor, and planned to frame Ling Beichen, causing him to almost be ruined. He was forced out of Tai Heng Sect and was even hunted down by many people in the martial arts world.
Some gossipers also said that Ling Beichen met his future wife during that process.
It was because of this experience that he became disillusioned with the affairs of the underworld.
Furthermore, Qi Luo's advantage in the past was so great that it was almost impossible to recover. Not to mention the distant ones, the Tai Heng Sect already had a deep prejudice against Ling Beichen. Not to mention the murder in the Yu Jian Pavilion, it was impossible for him to get within a hundred miles of the Tai Heng Sect.
In the end, he suddenly appeared in the Yu Jian Pavilion, confronted Qi Luo, and had the decisive physical evidence in his hand. He identified Qi Luo and successfully killed him with the sword, thus avenging his mentor.
What people love to talk about is that the good guys win in the end.
But few people know the details.
Even those who experienced that incident back then have no idea about the changes that have taken place.
Finally, Chu Qing and Lan Shuyi met and summarized the information they had obtained.
Lan Shuyi scratched his head and said:
“It all comes down to four words: divine soldiers descending from the sky!
“Anyone who appears within a hundred miles of Tai Heng Gate will be expelled and besieged, but he suddenly appeared in Yu Jian Pavilion.
"Do you think the two pages that Zhao Qipeng lost in his life are related to this incident?"
"meeting."
Trina's expression was a little strange:
"Just, what kind of relationship is it?"
"Zhao Qipeng helped Ling Beichen sneak into Tai Heng Sect?"
Lan Shuyi spoke hesitantly.
"That's possible, but if that's the case, then this person wants to kill Zhao Qipeng in order to avenge Qi Luo?"
Trina's eyes narrowed:
"If that's the case, it makes sense."
After some thought, the two men felt that they might have found the motive for the murder.
But Lan Shuyi still had no idea who the murderer was.
If this person wants to avenge Qi Luo, his identity is very questionable.
On the one hand, he could be Qi Luo’s descendant, on the other hand, he could be the person who helped Qi Luo seize the position of the head of the sect.
No matter which one it is, there are some unreasonable aspects.
The strangest thing is why they took action at this critical juncture?
Push it forward or push it back, no matter what time period it is, it is better than taking revenge when Taihengmen is about to hold the sword-awarding ceremony.
Or is it to take advantage of the chaos?
But for Zhao Qipeng, there was no point in killing him in the chaos, as this man had lived a very clean life.
Even though the entire Taiheng Sect is a mixed bag, he would not offend anyone... and judging from the way the murder was carried out, the other party could not possibly be someone outside the Taiheng Sect.
"unless……"
Chu Qing touched his chin and said two words, then nothing more.
Lan Shuyi listened and looked at him hurriedly, but after staring for a long while, Chu Qing did not speak, which made Lan Shuyi so anxious that he scratched his head.
But I dare not urge...
Finally, Trina spoke compassionately:
"Unless someone needs to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in."
"The murderer is not from Tai Heng Sect, but from outside?"
Lan Shuyi suddenly looked at Chu Qing:
"But that wound..."
"What if it's intentional to confuse people?"
Chu Qing asked back, but the expression on his face was somewhat insincere.
Lan Shuyi didn't notice his expression and nodded when he heard it:
"It is possible, but this person must have some connection with the people in Tai Heng Sect. At least he must have some great connection with Zhao Qipeng. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhao Qipeng to be so reckless."
This is true.
Then the two fell into silence again...
After a while, Lan Shuyi secretly complained:
“The Third Young Master has expanded the search area for the murderer with his own strength.
"I thought it was a conflict within Tai Heng Sect. We can't just focus on the people within Tai Heng Sect now..."
Chu Qing glanced at him:
“It’s better to expand than to miss out.”
"Yes, yes, you are right."
Lan Shuyi nodded repeatedly, then asked:
"What do you think about enlightenment? I feel like the waters of Tai Heng Sect are too muddy."
Even if you are in the underworld, killing is not something you can take lightly.
Especially those who were killed, none of them had simple identities.
It seemed that only one person died, but no one knew whether there were other undercurrents hidden beneath the calm surface of the water.
"Maybe he has done too many evil things, and people can't stand it anymore."
Chu Qing said lightly:
"Just think of that person as avenging your Broken Army Swordsman."
"..."
Lan Shuyi slowly said:
"It's not impossible."
Chu Qing stood up at this time and patted Lan Shuyi on the shoulder:
“Tonight, the two of us will go check on Li Junmo.
"He must know something..."
"My martial arts skills are low..."
"and me."
"What if Li Junmo wants to hit me?"
"Then you'll get beaten."
"…What if he wants to kill me?"
"Let yourself be killed?"
"Third Master, has anyone ever said anything bad about you?"
"No."
"I do not believe……"
"At least not in person. Most of them don't dare to do that."
"If so, what would you do?"
"Beat him up, or kill him and bury him somewhere? Why are you asking this?"
"It's okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Lan Shuyi had no choice but to stand up:
"See you tonight then."
Chu Qing curled the corners of his mouth and watched Lan Shuyi leave, but he did not return to Qingluan Villa, but went to Wujian Courtyard again.
There are many possibilities for the disciple nameplate that appeared in Wudao's room.
Maybe it was stolen by Wudao, maybe it was left there intentionally by the Blood Prince to confuse people, or maybe it was lost accidentally... But no matter which possibility it is, Chu Qing has to go.
But as expected, this trip did not yield any results.
There are no names on the nameplates of the disciples of the Wujian Academy, so it is impossible to find someone just by looking at the nameplate.
Chu Qing asked them whether anyone had been placed in the Wujian Academy recently.
The result is no...
This made Chu Qing's guess come to nothing, so he had no choice but to return to Qingluan Villa.
On the one hand, you are waiting for the night to fall, and on the other hand, you can take advantage of the time to open the box.
Before reaching Qingluan Villa, they saw a man staggering up the mountain. Chu Qing called out to him, and the man turned around and saw that it was Luo Wushuang.
After seeing Chu Qing, the young man's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Third Young Master!" "Why are you here?"
Chu Qing came up and asked with a smile.
“I heard that there is a Qingluan Stone Shadow on Qingluan Mountain, which is one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Taiheng, and the most famous one.
"I have visited several scenic spots today and I am very curious about this Blue Luan Stone Shadow. I just happened to be nearby and wanted to go up the mountain to find out what it is."
Luo Wushuang smiled shyly:
"Third Young Master, are you here at Qingluan Stone Shadow as well?"
"That's not the case. I'm just going to rest for a while at the Qingluan Villa on this mountain."
Chu Qing smiled:
"Let's go up the mountain."
Luo Wushuang nodded repeatedly.
The two of them talked as they walked, and he didn't know much about the situation inside Taihengmen.
He said that he appeared in front of Zhao Qipeng's yard last night because he was completely disturbed, and as a result, he inexplicably offended the spiritual perception of the Vajra Sect.
If Lan Shuyi and Chu Qing hadn't helped him, he would probably have been beaten last night.
The reason he came to Tai Heng Sect was to watch the fun. Tai Heng Sect widely invited fellow martial artists to witness the sword-granting ceremony, and such a wandering martial artist was extremely welcome.
Having learned the lesson from last night, he just focused on enjoying the scenery all day and didn't bother to do other things.
So when Chu Qing told him that Wu Dao was dead, his eyes almost fell out:
"What? Master Wudao is dead? How is that possible? He was the head of the Vajra Sect. Who could kill him?"
"That's hard to say..."
Chu Qing smiled:
“He is indeed an expert, but he likes to offend people. There are many people in the martial arts world who hide their real names and do not look like experts from their appearance, but when they make a move, they are earth-shattering.
"If he offends someone who seems insignificant, but turns out to be a powerful one...it's possible that he will end up being beaten to death."
"That's true."
Luo Wushuang nodded, and then sighed:
"Third Young Master, what do you think is going on with the Vajra Sect? It is clearly a sacred place of Nanling Buddhism, but its disciples who are away from home are so arrogant.
"I don't know what they ate or chanted when they were vegetarians or Buddhists...they are much angrier than I am."
The young man had just been in the world for a short time, and he could be fooled by simple underworld tricks.
When faced with a disciple like Lingjue who comes from a famous family, it is really impossible to understand why the other party has such a character.
Chu Qing thought for a moment and said:
"This is often a subtle influence. Some people say that human nature is good, while others say that human nature is evil. However, whether it is good or evil, we also need to consider the environment in which we grow up.
“If you are born in a family with good morals, even if you don’t obey your family’s rules and regulations and want to go against the norms, you won’t go too far.
“On the contrary, if one is kind-hearted since childhood but is born into a land of great evil, then when one grows up, no matter how kind one is, there will only be a limit to how kind one can be.
"Environment can change a person..."
"Third Young Master, what you mean is that the Vajra Gate is not a good place?"
Luo Wushuang seemed to suddenly realize.
Chu Qing smiled and shook his head:
"It's hard to say. Anyway, as far as Master Wudao himself is concerned, he doesn't seem to be a good person. Lingjue grew up by his side, so his personality must have been influenced by him."
"rational!"
Luo Wushuang nodded repeatedly.
As they were talking, the two people had already arrived in front of them. Chu Qing did not go closer to look at the green phoenix stone shadow.
After saying hello to Luo Wushuang, he went straight back to Qingluan Villa.
The others had returned long ago, and some were resting in the room, while others were practicing in the yard.
The one practicing martial arts is Wu Qianhuan. She can no longer practice [Zhi Yue Xuan Gong], but she can still practice [Xiao Yue Gu Han Sword Technique].
Watching Wu Qianhuan practicing martial arts is gentle.
She held her chin up, her eyes were emotionless and clear enough to see through.
He just looked at Wu Qianhuan without blinking.
Wu Qianhuan seemed to have gotten used to it, and she took it all in stride as if she was indifferent to these intrusive gazes.
Chu Qing's arrival broke the harmonious atmosphere in the yard. Seeing Chu Qing coming back, Wenrou stood up, while Wu Qianhuan put away her sword and came forward at the same time.
"How's the situation?"
"how?"
The above sentence was said by Wu Qianhuan, and the following sentence is gentle.
Chu Qing thought for a moment:
"Some gains, but not much..."
He glanced at Wenrou, thinking about taking her back and going to Zhao Qipeng's room again.
See if you can gain something different.
But there is no rush now.
He said softly:
"I'm going to retreat for a while, you guys help me protect the Dharma."
"Oh."
Wenrou is already very familiar with this.
Wu Qianhuan was surprised:
"Retreat at this time? Are you going to follow Li Junmo's example?"
"...Not really."
Chu Qing scratched his head:
"It's just a slight realization. Maybe it will be over soon."
“He’s always been fast.”
Wenrou added beside him:
"Sometimes it lasts all night, but most of the time it's just a short while."
"..."
Wu Qianhuan thought about it and felt that Wenrou's words were inappropriate...but looking at Wenrou's face, she really had no way to correct it.
I feel that the girl is pure-hearted, but I am the type who thinks everything is dirty.
Chu Qing felt very uncomfortable listening to the gentle words.
And what do you mean by most of the time it’s just a short while…
The reputation was damaged for no apparent reason.
He shook his head:
"Anyway, help me protect the law for a while."
"it is good."
The two girls nodded, and Chu Qing went into the room, closing the door. Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou sat in front of the door.
Wu Qianhuan's face was full of vigilance. After all, it was very important for a martial artist to go into seclusion to protect the law.
If someone disturbs him at this time, he might go insane at best, or die on the spot at worst.
But when she turned around, she found Wenrou very relaxed. Their eyes met, and Wenrou gently patted Wu Qianhuan's shoulder:
"Don't worry, he's very fast. I have experience..."
"..."
Wu Qianhuan was speechless.
Chu Qing in the room automatically filtered out the gentle words outside.
With a thought, he opened the system interface.
[There is an unopened treasure chest. Do you want to open it immediately? ]
Chu Qing had washed his hands before sitting down, but today he suddenly felt that washing hands seemed unnecessary, because there was no need to use hands to start such a thing.
Just shout it in your mind.
Is it possible to wash your brain?
I sighed in my heart and chose to open it.
[Open successfully and obtain the rare knowledge: the art of absolute wisdom! ]
Chu Qing was stunned. A strange art... a technique of supreme wisdom?
What is this?
But the next moment, Chu Qing's mind was already filled with the method of performing this art of supreme wisdom and the consequences it could cause.
Then, his expression suddenly changed:
"This... this is actually the Black Book!!!"
