The spring breeze blew, but Shao Heng's body was like falling into an ice cave, and the Heavenly Machine Sword trembled like a spirit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What the hell is going on?" Shao Heng's eyes were red, and he was filled with anger, and the qi in his body uncontrollably dispersed.
However, he raised his sword and looked around, but he could not guess who had committed the murder, and what kind of people had slaughtered the city in one night?
"Who?!"
"Stop, stop, let's go!" Several sword lights suddenly struck in the distance, surrounding Shao Heng in the middle of the street.
Shao Heng's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, knowing that his state of mind was taken by the changes in Jinyun City, and he didn't notice that someone was approaching in time, and he saw that most of the people who came were wearing Taiji Pisces Dao robes, and they should be disciples of Yuxu Mountain, and they found it a little tricky.
Calculating the time, these people must be the disciples of Yuxu Mountain who were sent to investigate the situation after learning the news of Jinyun City.
"Good thief, say!Why are you sneaking around here?!" One of the young men shouted at Shao Heng, and the hostility in his eyes was very obvious.
Shao Heng's face was slightly cold, and he didn't answer immediately, and the young man wanted to continue to scream angrily, but was stopped by another slightly older man: "Wenhai, slow down." โ
The man looked Shao Heng up and down, his eyes paused on the Heavenly Machine Sword for a moment, and then he suddenly put away his sword and hugged his fists and said, "I don't know which sect of Daoist friends it is?"
There are about seven or eight of these disciples of Yuxu Mountain, and only the two who just spoke were dressed in the same clothes as Zhu Ziang and Zong Feiyun that Shao Heng had seen in his early years, and they should be the inner disciples of Yuxu Mountain.
Shao Heng had never seen these people, but now that they were surrounded, there was no need to cause other misunderstandings, so he casually put away the Tianji Sword and said, "Fang Shaobai, the deacon of the outer gate of the Weishan Mountain. โ
Shao Heng's old friend Fang Shaobai, although he has been unable to re-enter the inner gate to become a personal disciple because he has passed his age in the past few years, he finally broke through the qi induction period some time ago. Because he was only a little older, and he was loved by his teacher, he became the youngest deacon in the outer sect, and was accepted as a registered disciple by Qinglan Dao Chief.
Therefore, when Shao Heng met a disciple of another sect and had to deal with him as Cunweishan, he always reported Fang Shaobai's name.
When several people in Yuxu Mountain heard Shao Heng claiming to be from Cunwei Mountain, the nervousness on their faces disappeared slightly, but they still held their swords at Shao Heng.
"It turned out to be Brother Dao of Cunwei Mountain, under Liu Maoran, these are all my junior brothers, I heard that the people of Jinyun City went to Loukong, and they came to investigate, I don't know why Brother Fang Dao came all the way here?"
Shao Heng said calmly: "Fang was sent to the vicinity to deal with the affairs of the sect, and he had seen the prosperity of this place through Jinyun City, but when he passed by again today, he found that people went to the city and were unknown for a while, so he stayed here. โ
As he spoke, Shao Heng took out the token of Weishan and showed it to the people of Yuxu Mountain.
After the outer disciples became deacons, they also had a jade, but it was slightly different from the personal disciples.
Liu Maoran naturally couldn't distinguish between the two, but he had already believed Shao Heng's words, and only then did he let the rest of the disciples take back the fairy sword, and said apologetically: "The matter of this city is too strange, I waited for a day to find out nothing, so I had to go around to take a look, how do I know that when I met Brother Fang Dao when I returned, I was reckless, and I hope Brother Fang doesn't mind." โ
"No, it won't. Shao Heng replied calmly: "Fellow Daoist brothers are investigating here, can you know who committed the murder?"
"Murder, do you mean that the people in the city, including the monks, totaled hundreds of thousands of people, all of whom have been killed?" Although the young man named "Wen Hai" had collected his sword before, there was always a slight hostility in his eyes, and when he heard Shao Heng say this, he immediately asked.
Liu Maoran also said: "I waited for a day in the city before, but we never found any bloodstains, why does Brother Fang think they are dead?"
Shao Heng listened to their tone, and knew that the other party had no other clues, so he suppressed the disappointment in his heart and said, "You come with me." โ
The Yuxu Mountain disciples did not immediately follow.
Liu Maoran thought for a while, and saw that Shao Heng was just approaching a shop next to him, so he should follow first.
After Shao Heng pointed out to them the outline formed by the dust that had not been blown away by the wind, everyone in Yuxu Mountain looked at each other, and their eyes showed a look of horror.
"This ...... This ......" Wen Hai's face was pale, and he couldn't say everything.
Liu Maoran asked in a trembling voice: "When I entered the city, I also saw a lot of dust, and I just thought it was caused by a lot of wind and sand in the past few days and no one took care of it...... I didn't expect ...... Didn't expect ......"
Shao Heng's expression was gloomy, and his tone was sad: "I'm afraid that the people in the city are not missing, but are broken by people." โ
"Vomit!" Suddenly, Wen Hai covered his mouth and rushed to the open space outside the door and retched.
They came here yesterday because of the strong wind in the spring, and some of them were blinded by the wind and sand.
Even last night, Yuxu Mountain and his party were still staying in the city.
The thought of the ashes of the dead all around makes everyone's hearts tremble.
Wen Hai didn't hold back at first, and the rest of the Yuxu Mountain disciples had a bad face, Wen Hai moved, and they were all stimulated, and they all rushed out to support the wall and were disgusted.
Liu Maoran's face was not very good when he saw this, but he was much older and had a good cultivation, and when he saw Shao Heng standing quietly, he laughed at him dryly: "These junior brothers have never seen this, which makes Brother Fang laugh." โ
As he spoke, he secretly looked at Shao Heng and thought: "I did hear that there is an extra young deacon in the outer gate of Cunwei Mountain before, but when I see it today, this person is also so determined, I am afraid that if I put it in my Yuxu Mountain or other sects, I am afraid that it will be cultivated as an inner disciple, which is really a pity." โ
Shao Heng's expression was unmoved, and he thought: "There are people from Yuxu Mountain here, and it is not convenient for me to check on anything more, so it is better to find an opportunity to leave first." โ
So, he said to Liu Maoran: "Since this matter has been investigated by your faction in person, it is very good." Fang still needed to return to the sect to resume his life, so he left first. โ
After speaking, Shao Heng bowed goodbye to Liu Maoran and wanted to leave.
"Wait. Liu Maoran saw that he was leaving, and hurriedly caught up: "Brother Fang, the murderer who can silently kill hundreds of thousands of people in the whole city must be extremely high or extremely numerous, I am afraid that it is too dangerous for you to be alone, or it is safer to act with us." โ
"Thank you Brother Liu for admonishing me, I need to inform the sect as soon as possible of such a tragic matter, and strictly guard against the enemy's attack, and Brother Liu had better inform your faction to strengthen vigilance within the scope of his jurisdiction. Shao Heng shook his head and said.
"Why do you say that?" Liu Maoran was slightly stunned.
The destruction of Jinyun City was tragic, but he didn't feel that this matter needed to rise to the point of martial law.
Shao Heng didn't want to talk too much, but when he saw Wen Hai and other Yuxu Mountain disciples surrounding him again, he couldn't get away directly, so he had to say, "Brother Liu, do you still remember what happened to Quanli Lake four years ago?"
Liu Maoran's face changed: "What does Brother Fang mean...... What is the evidence that the incident in Jinyun City has anything to do with that incident?"
Shao Heng was slightly impatient, and was silent for a while and said, "There is no evidence, but caution is the best." โ
Liu Maoran looked a little stunned, and he didn't speak for a while.
After Wenhai returned to normal, seeing that Shao Heng's words were not clear, he thought that he had something to hide, and Wen Hai had always been arrogant, but he lost face in front of outsiders, and couldn't help but say a little angrily: "Since you know something, why are you not happy? Could it be that you have something to do with this murderer, so you deliberately talk nonsense?!"
After four years after the incident in Quanli Lake, only the people involved, the high-level leaders of various factions and individual disciples knew about it, and Wen Hai, a new disciple, naturally didn't know what Shao Heng meant, and he was not inferior at the moment.
Shao Heng's expression was cold, and he didn't talk nonsense, he just bowed his hand to Liu Maoran, turned around and left.
Wen Hai was furious when he saw this: "Stop him!"
Except for Liu Maoran, this Wenhai has the highest status, he scolded, and the rest of the disciples subconsciously took their swords to stop Shao Heng.
Liu Maoran was furious, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the reckless juniors: "What are you doing? Stop it for me?!"
When he first discovered Shao Heng, he noticed that this person's sword intent was extraordinary, although he was an outer disciple, he was afraid that he had also obtained some true inheritance from Cunwei Mountain.
Liu Maoran is honest when he says it is good, but he is a little timid and afraid when he says it is ugly. He is different from those fellow disciples with backgrounds, he has no hostility towards Cunweishan, he doesn't want to have any conflicts with the people of Cunweishan, and he is afraid that Wenhai and others will suffer.
However, Wen Hai didn't appreciate it: "Senior brother, this person is already sneaky here, you kindly invited him to join him, but he left under the pretext of leaving and swallowing his words, which is obviously a weak heart." I think it's better to take him down and torture him, and I can find out what happened in this Jinyun City!"
Shao Heng sneered: "I kindly informed your faction of my discovery, but it was Fang's mistake?"
Liu Maoran hurriedly said: "Wen Hai still can't stop talking! Brother Fang Dao, Senior Brother Wen Hai is young and vigorous, it's just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
"What misunderstanding?"
Suddenly, a flirtatious voice sounded from not far away, and before the words fell, there were two more people on the street.
Shao Heng's eyes were solemn and he looked at the visitor.
Since Liu Maoran and others appeared, Shao Heng has been vigilant around, but these two people have appeared without any signs, and their cultivation is obviously not low.
The two of them were also dressed in Tai Chi Pisces robes, but one of them had a Xuan trim and one had a white piping.
Both of them are young and handsome, but their temperaments are very different.
The young man in the white trim of the dress had a playful look on his face, and his eyes were constantly rolling, as if he had a kind of youthful cleverness.
The other person was the opposite, with a solemn expression, a steady step, and a bright eye.
Especially when Shao Heng and the man looked at each other, they felt a slight stinging pain in their eyes, the sword heart jumped, and they couldn't help but leak a trace of sword intent, and the Tianji Sword hidden in the dantian also seemed to be stimulated by something, and let out a loud sword sound.
Shao Heng's face was calm, and he was slightly shocked in his heart: Jin Dan Sword Cultivation!
"Huh?" The man's eyes lit up, and he was a little surprised by the sound of the sword roar on Shao Heng's body, and his indifferent face showed a bit of playfulness: "I'm not old, my cultivation is good, I don't know how the swordsmanship is?"
This step was not unusual, but Shao Heng's face changed greatly, and the Heavenly Machine Sword instantly appeared suspended in the air in front of him, and the tip of the sword pointed straight in the direction of the young man, as if there was infinite pressure attacking him.
"Uncle Sword Domain!" Liu Maoran's face turned pale with shock, but he didn't dare to step forward to stop him.
"This person only takes one step, and the sword intent will attack like a huge wave, if he takes another step, his power will definitely increase exponentially! It must be broken before he takes the second step!" Shao Heng felt the stinging pressure on his face at this moment, but his heart was very calm.
I saw that the Tianji Sword was shining brightly, and the tip of the sword trembled violently like a bee's wing, as if it was about to be unable to support it, and the young man who was called Uncle by Liu Maoran was about to take the second step.
At this moment, the laughing young man suddenly slammed Sword Domain's shoulder, staggering it and taking a step to the right.
"Boom!" There was a carriage on the street on the right that had lost its owner, and it suddenly split apart and exploded under the pressure of sword intent.
"I'm still worried about young people when I'm old, senior brother, you're too disrespectful to the old!" the laughing young man smiled even more happily as he watched the sawdust fall on the head of the Sword Domain.
