Chapter 63: Suspicious
Quiet woods, dead silence......
"Whoosh!" Two black shadows flashed, and the figures of Miao Binglian and Ouyang Wei appeared in the open space where the killing had just taken place.
Pang Rentong's fatal wound on the chest should have been caused by a leaf with huge internal strength. Miao Binglian looked into the distance and analyzed lightly, "And Dong Liuyun's internal organs were shattered, and the meridians around his body also had different degrees of scars, and these injuries could not have been caused by Chen Hanyu." So I guess that Tu Tianlong's previous strength was only similar to Dong Liuyun's, and later his strength skyrocketed, so he could kill Dong Liuyun. ”
"In this way, the Heavenly Dragon Slayer didn't have the strength comparable to the peerless inferior grade as Elder Guo said from the beginning. Instead, in the late stage of the fight, through some means that we can hardly believe, the strength is forcibly improved to cross three grades. ”
"However, in today's world, what kind of means can improve a person's strength so much?" Ouyang Wei said to himself, "Unless...... It's like the three ways of the early Tang Dynasty. He said this last sentence quietly, because he himself was not very convinced.
"It's not impossible!" Miao Binglian naturally heard Ouyang Wei's self-talk and shook her head slightly.
Hearing Miao Binglian say this, Ouyang Wei was silent for a long time, and then he slowly walked a few steps in one direction, and said slowly: "The Blue Sea Divine Order, the Legend of the Golden Key, and now the Three Dao of the Early Tang Dynasty have been added...... It seems that the rivers and lakes are going to become more and more chaotic. ”
Ouyang Wei said, suddenly turned around, looked at Miao Binglian and said, "Before, we all thought that the Golden Lock Soft Sword should have reached Tu Tianlong's body. However, for now, the Sky Slayer died tragically at the hands of a more powerful master, and there were no bones left, leaving only two broken hammers. When he said this, he suddenly listened, and his eyes stared at Miao Binglian for a long time before he asked lightly: "Master Miao thinks that this master has any purpose?"
"Oh, what is the opinion of Master Ouyang?" Miao Binglian didn't make any other moves, but responded lightly.
"Heh!" Ouyang Wei sneered softly, "You have won the battle of the Golden Lock Soft Sword, but it is still too early to reveal the legend of the Golden Key." ”
Without waiting for Miao Binglian to speak, Ouyang Wei arched his hand and said, "Farewell!" Then the figure moved, and it had already disappeared into this clearing.
It wasn't until after Ouyang Wei disappeared that Miao Binglian glanced lightly at the direction Ouyang Wei had left, didn't say anything, and moved her body to the place where Tu Tianlong threw down the broken hammer. He picked up the Thunderbolt Hammer that was broken into four pieces on the ground, and then his body moved, and he also left.
A few minutes later, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, torches lit up the entire forest, and Ou Xintong and the others finally came to this place.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Rao is a master like Ou Xintong was also silent, more or less frightened.
"So, after a few of you left, there was a big battle here. Hong Xiaotian looked at the broken branches and remnants in front of him and said lightly.
"It's Ouyang Wei and Miao Binglian!" Yin Changping continued.
"I don't think it'......" Ou Xintong shook his head, "If the two of them defeated Tu Tianlong, why would they burn Tu Tianlong's body?"
"It shows that there is another master, after our people left, they shot and killed the Heavenly Dragon Slayer. Huang Yinyue frowned, "Seeing that the battle situation on the scene is so fierce, Tu Tianlong has obviously gone through a last fight, and if he can make a few moves with the opponent in this situation, and kill the opponent in the end, then this person must be a peerless master." ”
"Then who is this person?" Yin Changping asked again.
"On the rivers and lakes, if you say that you are a famous peerless master, except for the four of us, it is probably Shaolin Wudang, or the master of your Yue Haishen Sect. Ou Xintong said.
"Hey, Ou Xintong, don't throw all the black cauldrons on our backs!" Yin Changping stared at Ou Xintong and said coldly, "Aren't the two commanders of the Imperial Court Jinyi Guard the masters of peerless middle grade?"
"Oh?" Ou Xintong said lightly without looking back, "Sect Master Yin doesn't know that Jinyi Wei generally doesn't intervene in the affairs of the rivers and lakes?"
Without waiting for Yin Changping to answer, Ou Xintong said lightly: "Besides, Jinyiwei has always acted with a beginning and an end. If you really kill the Heavenly Dragon Slayer, there will be a way to leave no trace, instead of burning it on the spot like now. ”
"I think it's probably the other three Dharma Kings of your Demon Sect who did it. Huang Yinyue said unceremoniously, "It is impossible for Shaolin Wudang to directly incinerate the corpse casually, this is obviously the style of people in your evil way!"
"Huang Yinyue, you-" Seeing Huang Yinyue's tone, Zuo Liangxun from the Yue Sea God Sect was angry, and took a step to prepare for a seizure. But when he saw Hong Xiaotian raise his hand, he had to swallow his breath and retreated silently.
"Huang Meng's master, don't be impatient, Hong has a question to ask. Hong Xiaotian said lightly, seeing that Huang Yinyue didn't speak, he continued: "How can you be sure that the corpse on this ground must be Tu Tianlong? Maybe it was Ouyang Boss and Master Miao who joined forces, but they were defeated by Tu Tianlong, and they died and fled. And the Heavenly Slayer will burn the corpse before we arrive, so as to achieve his purpose of hiding himself?"
"If Tu Tianlong has such a scheming, he doesn't need to let go of so many masters here at all, he only needs to leave one person to report the news, and he can also achieve his goal. Ou Xintong shook his head and said, "In addition, when Tu Tianlong killed Pang Rentong, he already had signs of going mad. It is unlikely that such a means could be conceived under such circumstances. ”
"Maybe he went crazy and was part of his plan?" Hong Xiaotian asked rhetorically.
Several people were lost in thought, after all, this matter was full of suspicions, and there were too few clues left. So much so that they can't find the starting point and can't tell what's going on.
"That's it, there is no result in the discussion here, the old man still has something to do, so he will go first. Yin Changping saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and he didn't want to waste any more time here, so he exchanged glances with Hong Xiaotian, and the two of them, Le Xingchen and other elders gathered the members of the Yue Sea God Sect and their dependents, and turned around and left here.
Huang Yinyue stared at Ou Xintong for a short while, the corners of her mouth turned upward, and she arched her hand: "Master Ou, then we will have a meeting later." After that, the people from the Five Spirit Immortal Sect with her also retreated the same way.
The other small sects and people in the rivers and lakes gradually left the woods, and after a while, there were only six doors left in this clearing, waiting for Ou Xintong's instructions.
"Chengpu, you can take them back first. Ou Xintong looked at Jiang Chengpu and said.
"What's the matter with Lord God Catcher?" Jiang Chengpu asked.
Ou Xintong shook his head: "It's just a trivial matter, you don't have to worry about it, everyone is tired after a night of fierce fighting, so let's take them back first." ”
At the end, Ou Xintong added: "By the way, the court has spread that in two weeks, there will be an edict to meet the six gates to capture the saints, and we still need to prepare early." ”
"Yes, my lord!" Jiang Chengpu replied with a bow, and then shouted to the others behind him, "Let's go!" and left with everyone.
Ou Xintong stared at the group of lights that were getting farther and farther away, until he couldn't see them at all. He turned around, stepped a little, and quickly ran forward.
After running for nearly two hours, Li Yanhui led a few people to a small hill.
At this time, the white of the fish belly has faintly appeared in the east, and the pale red morning glow hangs all over the sky, like a satin red long silk.
The name of this place is called Wanghuifeng, which is the only way for the six doors to lead to the Liangcheng Branch. Li Yanhui led everyone into a pavilion and said while enjoying the surrounding scenery.
"Master, Master Miao, will they really come?" Wei Fangfei asked curiously.
"Of course!" Li Yanhui looked at Wei Fangfei and smiled slightly, "Their speed should be even faster, it is estimated that it will not take an hour to get here from where we came out." As he was talking, Li Yanhui raised his eyebrows, "No, it's already at the foot of the mountain?"
Everyone's eyes followed Li Yanhui, only to see that at the foot of the calm mountain, two figures suddenly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of themselves and others.
It is Ou Xintong, the god of catching the six gates, and the holy Miao Ice Lotus of the east gate.
"Master Li, I've been waiting for a long time!" the two of them performed light skills all the way to the outside of the pavilion before stopping, and then Ou Xintong took two steps and said with his hand.
"It's okay, let Master Ou miss it. Li Yanhui smiled, and then moved his gaze to Miao Binglian next to him, "Why is Lord Miao still holding these two broken hammers?"
Facing Li Yanhui's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Miao Binglian raised her hand to look at the pair of broken hammers, and let out a chuckle from her nose: "The materials for this weapon are good, take it back and return to the furnace, maybe you can make a few sharp soldiers." ”
When Miao Binglian said this, she also deliberately highlighted the word "several", obviously because this thunderbolt gilt hammer was too big and heavy, if it was made into an ordinary sword, it was estimated that it could make several of them.
Several people looked at each other and smiled, and Li Yanhui led everyone into the pavilion. After some greetings, Ou Xintong arched his hand and said: "Thanks to the help of Master Li this time, Ou has something important to do now, and he has no time to repay, so he will write down this favor first." ”
"What did Master Ou say...... Li Yanhui's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and then said, "Now the rivers and lakes are not very peaceful, and the undercurrent is surging." On the way back, Lord Ou has to be more careful. ”
"Thank you for the reminder from Master Li, Ou will remember it. Ou Xintong bowed his head and arched his hand.
Although he and Li Yanhui are masters of the same period, because Li Yanhui's actual age is two years older than Ou Xintong, Ou Xintong faces Li Yanhui and looks more respectful. Of course, this is also based on the fact that they are all righteous people, and the imperial court can be regarded as standing on the side of the righteous path, as long as there are no contradictions and conflicts between each other, mutual respect is also a necessary condition for maintaining friendly relations.
After separating from Li Yanhui and the others, Ou Xintong, Miao Binglian, Chen Hanyu and Lan Yiting went to the Liangcheng Branch, the next branch of the Six Gates, and prepared to set off from there and embark on the road back to the imperial court.
That night, Chen Hanyu was sitting in a hut in the Liangcheng branch to pranayama. Suddenly, his heart moved, and his eyes opened to the door.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk~"
After three knocks on the door, Lan Yiting pushed the door from outside and walked in. He raised his eyes and saw Chen Hanyu sitting cross-legged on the bed, smiled slightly, and asked, "Disturbing your practice?"
"It doesn't matter. Chen Hanyu smiled and made a gesture of please. Seeing this, Lan Yiting was no longer verbose, and walked straight to a coffee table in the room and sat down.
"Brother Lan came to me so late, but what's the matter?" Chen Hanyu got up from the bed, opened two porcelain cups in front of the coffee table, and then slowly brewed a pot of good tea and poured it into the cup.
Lan Yiting smiled: "I don't have anything to do, I just came to talk to you...... Why? I haven't seen you for three years, and Brother Chen doesn't have anything to say to Brother Lan?"
Seeing Lan Yiting looking at him with straight eyes, Chen Hanyu smiled softly: "Hey~ What did Brother Lan say?" With a wave of his right hand, a sound of breaking the air sounded, extinguishing one of the two candles on the left hand.
Lan Yiting turned his head to look at the candle that was still smoking, looked around again, and laughed a few times and said, "Brother Chen is also too cautious, and there are no outsiders in the six gates. ”
"Arrange a formation, and you will have peace of mind. Chen Hanyu also smiled and said, "At least the secrets between our brothers can't be known to others." Then they both laughed.
Brothers who haven't seen each other for three years, reunite, and naturally have endless words. The two talked for an hour, from common words and trivial matters of life, to gradually chatting about major events in the rivers and lakes, and also talked about the dispute over the golden lock and soft sword.
"This time, there are many things that are expected, and there are many things that are not expected. Lan Yiting took a sip of tea and said as he slowly put down the porcelain cup.
"It happened suddenly, and it is estimated that the preparations were also hasty. Chen Hanyu nodded, "But this time, our six doors can be regarded as sending a large part of their strength." Lord God Catcher and the three major Saint Catchers shot together, which can be said to be unprecedented. ”
Lan Yiting nodded in agreement: "Yes, I didn't expect that even Lord Ou would personally take action this time." But think about it, even top figures like Huang Yinyue, the leader of the Five Spirits Immortal Alliance, have not hidden their strength, and it seems that we still underestimate the influence of this golden key. ”
"In addition, this time, the Yue Sea God Sect sent two Dharma Protector Kings, but this is not necessarily an order issued by the Yue Sea God Sect, after all, the Winter Pavilion does not have a single word of appeal in the sect. Thinking about it, these two Dharma Protectors had no choice but to join the camp of the Yang Envoy of Yue Hai because of their increasingly decadent power. Lan Yiting then said.
"This time, the Winter Pavilion didn't even appear. When Chen Hanyu said this, he raised his head and looked at Lan Yiting with a little doubt.
"Winter Pavilion can't get out now. Lan Yiting said, "Although the Yue Sea God Sect is powerful, the dragons have no leader, and its power has been difficult to develop. And now this mess is almost all piled on the head of his Winter Pavilion now. At the same time, he has to face threats from Shaolin, Wudang and other righteous warriors. Sending two Dharma Kings is the strongest force he can send. ”
"It's a good thing he didn't come, otherwise the balance would have been upset by him. Chen Hanyu nodded.
Chen Hanyu already knew that in the past three years, the strength of the Winter Pavilion had also undergone a leap, and now it was the strength of the peerless grade, and it could be said that it was among the strongest masters in the world.
"But then again, what surprised me the most about this incident was the Sky Slayer Dragon. Lan Yiting suddenly changed the topic and said, "There are too many doubts in this person, and it is very abnormal......
