Chapter 313: A Swordsman
At this time, the real person of the Treasure Realm was standing aside, his face gloomy and iron-blue.
As soon as Tang Zilan arrived here, he had already seen the five corpses placed in front of the valley. Hua Bushi walked closer and leaned over to examine it carefully, especially the corpse of the Zhengde Daoist, the eldest young master squatted down and looked at it for a long time, with a look of surprise on his face.
Tang Zilan looked at the real person in the Treasure Realm and asked, "How did the five of them get killed, does the Dao Elder have any opinions?"
Baojing Zhenren: "Their corpses are all poured in the valley, obviously when they entered the valley to search, they were raided and killed, and most of the murderers are people from various factions on the island who have a grudge against the 'Shangqing Gate'!"
Tang Zilan said: "How can you see it, can't it be the remnants of Lu Qiuhong who left on the island to do it?"
Baojing Zhenren: "Now that we have searched the entire island, if there is any remaining party, it will definitely be discovered, and if it is not a vendetta, Poor Dao can't guess what the murderer has to do, to kill Zhengde and the four pawns of the 'Shangqing Gate'." ”
The speculation of the real people in the treasure realm is not unreasonable.
Among the more than 200 masters of the fifty-five sects on the island, the strength of the "Shangqing Sect" can only be regarded as the middle stream at most, and the head of the Zhengde Dao is not an important person. If Lu Qiuhong's remnants wanted to assassinate and kill people, they should choose more important targets to attack, and there was no need to kill the insignificant "Shangqingmen" disciples.
Therefore, killing due to vendetta seems to be a more reasonable explanation. Longhu Mountain's "Shangqing Gate" professes to be the authentic sect of the Daomen, and has always been arrogant, and this righteous Taoist has a long eye above the top, looks down on others, and there are not a few people who have offended in the past. It is not surprising that among the masters of all the many sects on this island, there are his enemies.
When Tang Zilan heard this, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Tang Mou has already said before, as long as it is on this island, all old grudges and old grudges must be put aside for the time being, if someone dares to disobey and fight and kill people because of personal vendettas, Tang Mou will definitely take his life!"
He turned his face to a disciple and said, "You go and check what enemies the 'Shangqing Sect' has in the various sects on this island, come and report me quickly!"
The disciple took the order and left.
At this time, Hua Bushi stood up from the corpse of the Taoist Elder and said: "Judging from the injuries of these five people, two people were slashed by steel knives, and the two of them were hit by the palm force and broke their hearts. ”
Tang Zilan said: "In this way, there must be three murderers, one uses a knife, one uses a palm, and the other uses a sword. ”
Hua Bushi said: "That's not necessarily, the swordsman can also use the palm, and the murderer is suspicious, so it's not impossible to use different weapons to kill people." ”
He turned his face to the real person of the treasure realm and asked, "I don't know what the four of them looked like when they died in the valley, can the real person tell me?"
Baojing Zhenren: "They all fell on the sand and gravel ground not far from the valley, and the four disciples all drew their swords in their hands, thinking that they were killed in a fight with the enemy, and only Zhengde Daoyou was empty-handed and unarmed. ”
Tang Zilan's expression was grim, and he said, "Zhengde Dao Chang is empty-handed, could it be that the murderer took out his sword so quickly, and he was pierced through the throat by the opponent's sword before he could draw his sword?!"
Baojing is truly humane: "Judging from the situation, it must be so. ”
Hearing this, Tang Zilan suddenly understood why the expression of the real person in the Treasure Realm was so gloomy.
Although the chief of Zhengde Dao is not a top master, he is also a long-famous figure in the rivers and lakes, even if there are many people who can kill him on the island, but there are very few who can assassinate him with one blow before he has time to draw his sword, among them, there are only two people who use swords as weapons, in the eyes of real people in Baojing. Baojing Zhenren himself is one of them, and the other person is Yu Jun, the elder of the "Huashan Sect".
Yu Jun's "Huashan Three Absolute Swords" is known for its speed, and the "Huashan School" is a vein of "Shaolin", which has always been at odds with "Wudang" and "Kongtong", and Yu Jun is also an arrogant and arrogant person.
It was Tang Zilan who already understood that the real person of the Treasure Realm must be suspecting Yu Jun of being the murderer of the Zhengde Daoist.
At this time, he heard Hua Bushi say: "Judging from what the real person said, the situation would be about like this, Zhengde Daoist and his party of five entered the valley, and the murderer suddenly jumped out and stabbed Zhengde Daoist with a sword, and the remaining four 'Shangqingmen' disciples immediately drew their swords to resist, but they were all killed. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "However, the real person said that the murderer was a person who had a vendetta with the 'Shangqing Sect' among the various sects on the island, but he didn't think so. ”
The real person of the Treasure Realm snorted and said, "If it weren't for the grudge, why would the murderer kill the five people of the Zhengde Dao Chief?"
Hua Bushi said: "Now that we are trapped on the island, the master of the Tang Sect has already made it clear that it is forbidden to fight for personal enmity, if it is not for the deep hatred, I will never risk such a big disapproval, and I have to kill people at such a time." And if the murderer really has a great enmity with the Zhengde Dao Chief, and his martial arts are much higher than him, when the Zhengde Dao Chang shot his sword in the Tingtao Pavilion before, he could have challenged and killed him in the name of the martial arts competition, so why wait until now?"
Tang Zilan said: "Young Master Hua's words are reasonable, but what is the reason for the murderer to kill?"
Hua Bushi stretched out his hand and pointed to the small valley in front of him, and said: "Outside this valley, there is the coast, and when the five people of Zhengde Dao and his party walk into the valley, they must be able to see the situation on the opposite beach, maybe this is the reason for killing." ”
Tang Zilan's expression moved, and he said, "Young Master Hua is saying that they happened to see the murderer's secret matter, so they were killed to kill them?"
Hua Bushi said: "I'm just making this guess, and I will search the beach outside the valley, and maybe I can find some clues." ”
Tang Zilan nodded, turned around and instructed his disciples: "A few of you, go and search that beach carefully, and don't let go of any trace!"
The real person of the Treasure Realm also waved his hand, and several Wudang disciples he brought also rushed over together.
It was not difficult for more than ten people to search for a beach that was not too big, not to mention that these people were all shrewd and capable disciples of the "Wudang" and "Tang Sect" factions.
It didn't take long for them to find out.
Ten feet away from the valley, there were traces of the beach being turned. They dug up and found some charred black branches and leaves buried underneath, and from these signs it was that someone had lit a fire on the beach and then buried it with gravel, apparently not wanting to be discovered.
And a big fire is lit here definitely not for the purpose of grilling game.
Tang Zilan walked closer, stared at the situation in the pit for a while, then looked up at Hua Bushi, and asked, "Does Young Master Hua have a high opinion?"
Hua Bushi said: "This place is facing the sea, and a fire is lit here, probably using fireworks to transmit information to the ships on the sea. ”
Tang Zilan and Baojing Zhenren are both experienced people, and they know that there is a way to transmit information through fireworks in the underworld, and Hua Bushi's speculation is mostly the truth.
Baojing is really humane: "In this way, there are still remnants of the 'Wanyi Gate' on this island, who are burning smoke here to send a message to Lu Qiuhong at sea, but they happened to be bumped into by the Zhengde Daoist and his party, so they killed the five of them. ”
He showed a contemplative expression and said, "But this island has been searched by us again, and nothing has been found, so where will those remnants be hidden?"
Hua Bushi said: "If I were Lu Qiuhong, for the sake of safety, I would definitely leave eyes and ears on the island to spy on the every move of our and other factions." However, this murderer can assassinate the Taoist of Zhengde with a sword, and his martial arts are so high that he is by no means an ordinary spy, if he wants not to be discovered by us, the most haode hiding place is naturally mixed with us. ”
The real person of Baojing looked at him and said, "Young Master Hua is saying that among the fifty-five sects on the island, there are guests who have been ambushed by Lu Qiuhong?"
Hua Bushi said: "Even if Lu Qiuhong can't buy the entire sect and let it betray, if he wants to buy one or two of them, he should still be able to do it." Since he has such a plan, he dares to make such a big move, and he wants to be the enemy of the world's sects, if there is no extraordinary means, it will be abnormal. ”
He sighed and said, "Now it seems that the news that we are going to use the 'treasure ship' to get out of this island must have been passed on by that guest, Lu Qiuhong must have known about it, but I don't know what tricks he will have, we must be very careful and vigilant in the past three days." ”
Tang Zilan snorted coldly, his eyes flashed with a sharp color, and said: "Lu Qiuhong can trap us, but he is just taking advantage of the geographical advantages of this island, if he really wants to fight, how can the 'Wanyi Sect' be the opponent of dozens of sects such as me, as long as he dares to send someone to the island, he must let him know that it is powerful! As for the intermittent guest who was ambushed, Tang Mou will definitely find out!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Zhengde Dao Chang was stabbed with a sword in his throat, although the blade pierced the arteries, but not much blood flowed out.
This kind of wound, Hua Bushi is not the first time to see it. In the ancient family ancestral hall of "Nanquanzhuang" in the south of Longchuan City, Mr. Ma Da was killed by a sword, and the wounds on his body were the same, which is the reason why Hua Bushi showed a look of surprise when he saw the corpse of Zhengde Daoist at first glance.
Could it be that the murderer who assassinated Mr. Martha that day was the same person who killed the Taoist of Zhengde?
Hua Bushi did not tell Tang Zilan about this matter, because Mr. Ma Da's death involved the secret of "Pan Long Jue", and it was not appropriate to tell outsiders.
However, the news of the killing of the Zhengde Daoist and the four disciples of the "Shangqing Sect" could not be concealed, but the people of the various sects on the island soon knew about it. There is also Lu Qiuhong's remnants on this island, and the opponent's martial arts are so high that he can stab the Zhengde Daoist to death with a sword, and as soon as the murderous news came out, it made everyone and others panic.
When Tang Zilan returned to the manor, he immediately summoned the principals of all parties and redeployed manpower to strengthen the defense of the island, especially for the "treasure ship", and even sent dozens of people to patrol and guard it day and night.
