Chapter Eighty-Five: Another Conspiracy Theory
With the experience of listening to the soul, Bai Xiu naturally knew that there must be something hidden in this.
"No anomaly is the biggest anomaly," he said. As far as I know, Fang Chengying was already the head of the Fang family's fantasy department at that time, so the dignified Fang family wouldn't have burned two important family members to death in a fire, right?"
Ming Yuchu frowned, looked at him and said, "Your suspicions are not unreasonable, but if there is really any inside story in this matter, it is impossible for Fang Chunjun, who personally investigated this matter back then, to let go of the murderer so easily, right?"
"Maybe this is a self-directed and self-acted golden cicada shelling drama. Bai Xiu speculated, "Under the investigation of Fang Da's family, he found that this was the case, in order to cover up for Fang Chengying, no matter what the truth of the matter was, he would not say anything." ”
Ming Xue Chu looked away from his face and looked instead at the void darkness ahead.
She said in a deep voice, "I see what you mean......
Suppose they brought something back from the Raiders back then, or just because of the Raiders themselves, the elder brother and they were chased by a certain force, which led to the tragedy of the Maple Leaf Forest and Bright Moon Island.
And Fang Chengying made the first move in order to avoid this catastrophe, so that he could 'die unexpectedly' before the murderer committed the murder?
But in fact, Fang Chengying and his wife did not participate in the robbery of Shengding, and the basis for your speculation is not valid.
In fact, the Fang family who participated in the search for the robbery was Fang Chengying's elder brother Fang Chunjun, and the latter did not encounter any accidents.
It is true that the two of us have suffered from the robbery, but it is not only that, there must be another reason that led to the bloody incident twenty years ago. ”
Seeing that Bai Xiu couldn't help but show a thoughtful look, she suddenly said, "What do you think?"
Bai Xiu pondered: "It's just random speculation, but since the truth of the matter hasn't been revealed yet, it's understandable to have more assumptions, right?"
Ming Yuchu snorted coldly and said, "You don't have to beat around the bush with me, if you have something to say, just say it." ”
Bai Xiu thought about it for a while, and put forward another possibility: "Could it be that Fang Chunjun killed Fang Chengying and his wife?"
Ming Yu was immediately stunned, and only after a long time did he mutter: "How is it possible, they are brothers...... However, if this is the case, it can explain the previous question.
But why would he do it?
Could it be that in order to monopolize what they brought back from the Heavens of Victory, he teamed up with Fang Chengying to hunt down and kill my brother and your parents, and then killed his own brother after he succeeded?
Even the death of my sister-in-law was ......"
The more Ming Yuchu thought about it, the deeper the chill in his heart became, if things were really the same as they guessed, then the cold-bloodedness of this person was simply outrageous.
However, she thought of something else, shook her head and said, "No, although Fang Chunjun was involved in the events of the year, he didn't have much contact with the Robbery Ding, and his sudden interest in it was because of the news revealed by the Jiang family not long ago.
I think he didn't even really participate in the search for the Raider, so he escaped. ”
Bai Xiu was so keen, he naturally heard the meaning of her words, and said tentatively: "Master Ming Shao, you seem to know the situation of Fang Da Boss very well?"
Ming Xue Chu said with a cold voice: "Are you questioning my words?
I'm not afraid to tell you, as long as it is someone who may be related to the Raiding Life Ding, I have sent someone to investigate secretly, and if there is anything abnormal, it will definitely not escape my eyes.
Your Bai family is no exception. ”
"It's no wonder that the island master of Ming Shao is very clear about my purpose and movements. Bai Xiu muttered.
Ming Yuchu smiled proudly and said, "So you'd better not play any tricks on me. ”
Bai Xiu said helplessly: "Does the young island master of Ming Shao have any misunderstanding about Zaixia?" If you know my personality, then you should know that since I promised to cooperate with you, I will never hide anything.
So, as I said at the beginning, we can talk openly and honestly, or at least we can talk to each other and help each other clear up the blind spots. ”
Ming Yuchu looked at him uncertainly for a long time, and finally said, "Okay, I'll believe you for the time being." In exchange, I'm going to hear the results of your investigation first. ”
Bai Xiu had already thought of what to do, and said in a deep voice: "The young island master of Ming Shao also knows that my family does not support my investigation of the matter back then, so over the years, with my own efforts, I have not learned much.
There are a lot of things that I know, and the young island master may know better than me, so I won't talk about it. There is only one point, I think the owner of Ming Shao Island must be interested - in fact, Fang Chengying did not die in the fire twenty years ago. ”
"Fang Chengying is not dead?!" Ming Zhichu reacted and said, "No wonder you keep emphasizing this, but how do you know?"
Bai Xiu briefly talked about what happened in the Land of Listening Souls, of course, except for Fang Chengying, he didn't mention anything else.
Ming Yuchu didn't care, and muttered, "You really went to the place of listening to the soul that night...... In this way, it is very likely that Fang Chengying set it up by himself?
She pondered for a moment and then said, "Besides, even if there are many strange things about this matter, and even if we investigate the truth, what is the use of this for us?
It also doesn't prove that Fang Chengying participated in the search for the Raider, in other words, the 'evasion theory' and the 'extinction theory' that you guessed before are not valid. ”
Bai Xiu's attention returned to the previous question, and simply said, "Master Ming Shao, why are you so sure that Fang Chengying was not involved in the affairs of the year?"
Ming Yuchu looked up at him, and didn't speak for a while, as if he was weighing something.
I don't know how long it took before she slowly spoke: "Actually...... I've already found the force that bloodied Bright Moon Island back then. ”
Bai Xiu was stunned for a moment, and before he could ask any questions, Ming Yuchu said again: "But I'm not sure that it's the same group of people who ambushed your Phoenix Sect in the Maple Leaf Forest. ”
Bai Xiu said sincerely: "In any case, this is an extremely important clue, and I also ask the young island master to tell me the truth." ”
"Yes, but ......" Ming Yuchu pointed to the intersection not far away, and he didn't have a good airway, "I think we should talk as we go, depending on the situation, it's still unknown whether we can find the right entrance today." ”
Bai Xiu agreed with this very much, so he had to temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and stepped forward to take a closer look.
"How's it going?, any clues?" asked Ming Yuchu.
Bai Xiu pretended to sigh regretfully, and said quietly: "Each intersection has the same traces, and it is not possible to speculate on the respective uses of these passages, it seems that we can only use the elimination method to go through them one by one." ”
"It's a big project, but that's all it can be. Hearing him say this, Ming Yuchu nodded helplessly.
Eventually, the two chose the aisle on the left.
Unlike the previous stone staircase, the passage has a small slope and no stairs, so it extends straight into the distance.
Ming Yuchu threw out a spell, and while walking in with Bai Xiu, he said: "After Senior Uncle took me and my senior brother to leave Mingyue Island, I didn't dare to show up because I was afraid that the other party would chase and kill us.
Later, by chance, he saved Jiangling, the great-grandson of the old man Jiang in Pengcheng, and we went to Jiang's house and recruited troops for them incognito. ”
"It's the so-called 'Great Hidden in the City', no wonder there has been no news of you in the cultivation world over the years......," Bai Xiu said suddenly, "In this way, the rise of the Jiang family's 'Tianjiao' is indeed the credit of a few. ”
Ming Yuchu said coldly: "You don't have to scold us around the bush. I know that if it spreads, the cultivation world will definitely look down on our Ming family, and the dignified Mingyue Island will actually be reduced to having to work for the outside world.
Hmph, they don't know at all, only by living can there be a turnaround, and our current dormancy is just to prepare for future revival. What's more, I need the strength to find out the truth back then. ”
Bai Xiu smiled and said, "Master Ming Shao misunderstood, I didn't mean that. On the contrary, I agree with you very much, and I can't think of a better way. ”
"Do you really think so?" Ming Yuchu's eyes were completely gone, and there was a different kind of look.
She looked at him and suddenly smiled, and teased, "It seems that you are not a qualified cultivator, because you lack the arrogance that a cultivator should have; ”
"Probably. Bai Xiu didn't care about her mockery, and said, "There is nothing remarkable about a cultivator, I yearn for the life of an ordinary person more than being a cultivator." ”
"It's not going to work. Ming Yuchu was a little disappointed in his words, and said coldly, "I thought you were also a person who made big things and didn't think about it...... Hum. ”
Bai Xiu smiled dumbly.
He said calmly: "Everyone has their own way of living, so why force like-mindedness." What's more, in this way, the island master of Ming Shao can also rest assured, I am by no means your enemy, not now, and not in the future. ”
Ming Yuchu paused, frowned, and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Bai Xiu didn't continue to play dumb riddles with her, and said bluntly: "If you don't guess wrong, the young island master of Ming Shao is not only interested in the Raiding Life Ding, but also interested in the things in the Raiding Heaven, right?"
I just want to take a stand and I don't have the same purpose as you, so I'm not going to be your opponent. ”
Ming Yuchu was rarely stunned, and then said in a low voice: "I hope you will always remember this sentence...... I don't want to fight you, and I don't want you to die at my hands one day. ”
She was visibly relieved, and there was a bit of lightness in her words.
Bai Xiu didn't notice the change in her attitude.
He was going to continue to dispel the wariness of him at the beginning of the Ming Teaching, and only then would he be able to get as much useful information as possible from her.
