185. Interrogation

After Zixun came to the main hall of Yaoxian Peak, he sat on the high platform in the center of the main hall, Jin Liu'er and Kunbu stood behind him with solemn faces, while Ziyue and another purple-clothed disciple stood under the high platform.

Zi Xun looked thoughtfully at the four peak masters who were sitting below: Medicine Immortal Peak Zixiu, Spirit Beast Peak Zi Feng, Refining Peak Zi Ming, and Spirit Sword Peak Tian Qing, and behind them stood the chief deacon and consul disciples of each peak.

Next to the four peak masters, there are more than ten Eight Immortal chairs, which are specially reserved for the Zi family to sit on.

Cuin's body was parked on a white carpet in the center of the main hall, covered with a white mourning cloth.

Two white-clothed disciples carried tea trays to serve tea to everyone, and after the tea was served, they hurriedly retreated and left.

Zixun picked up the teacup, brushed the tea leaves with the tea lid, took a sip of tea, and elegantly placed the teacup on the long table in front of him.

He said faintly: "Before the Zi family comes, the four peak masters can think about it, how should the jade spirit be judged?" ”

Zi Xiu, who was dressed in white, stood up and said with a calm face: "The disciple thinks that Senior Sister Yuling was manipulated by Jin Peng to kill cumin by mistake, she is not wrong at all, and there is no need to convict. The Zi family is a green snake family, as long as we give the Zi family some generous compensation. ”

Zi Xun frowned slightly, in the past, Zi Xiu hated Yu Ling to the core, but now he can understand the current affairs and help Yu Ling speak, which is a wise move, he pretended to question: "But after all, Yu Ling also killed people, just to compensate for it is not justified, right?" ”

"But Yuling obviously killed cumin without knowing it?" Zixiu retorted, right now that Yu Ling is in trouble at Medicine Immortal Peak. If she didn't stand on Jade Ling's side, she was afraid that she would also be implicated.

Now that she doesn't have her father to rely on, she also has to learn to judge the situation, the other three peak masters are all Zixun's people, Xuanyuan Junhao ordered her to protect Zixun, how can she stand by and watch Zixun's pet have an accident?

Zi Xun sneered and nodded, "I don't know what Zi Feng wants?" ”

Zi Feng stood up and arched his hand: "The disciple thinks that although the Jade Spirit is controlled by Jin Peng, after all, he has also killed people, in order to set an example, he must be punished, otherwise there will be disciples who will kill each other in the future." It will be manipulated as an excuse to mess up the door rules and discipline. ”

Zixun's brows furrowed. He looked at Zi Ming and said, "What does Zi Ming think?" ”

Zi Ming also stood up and nodded: "The disciple thinks that Senior Brother Zi Feng is right, since it is a murder, it should be punished severely, lest someone take advantage of the situation and disturb the sect's discipline!" ”

Tian Qing didn't wait for Zixun to speak. He stood up and arched his hand and said, "The disciple thinks that Senior Sister Yuling is at fault. But the fault is not death. As long as the Zi family is willing to spare the jade spirit, the disciple implores the head of the sect to be taken lightly! ”

Zixun nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that Tian Qing was not bad to Yuling. He smiled and said, "It's up to you!" ”

Zi Feng and Zi Ming looked at each other, the two of them frowned in unison, always feeling that they seemed to be in the wrong position, before Zi Xun shouted that they wanted to deal with the jade spirit again, they pushed the boat down the river, but why did Zi Xun suddenly change his attitude? Could it be that you want to test them?

The two of them turned pale, each thinking about what Zixun meant.

After waiting for about an hour, a white-clothed disciple rushed in outside the hall, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and reported: "Head of Qiqi, the Lord of the Protector is here with the Zi family." ”

After hearing this, Zixun got up and walked out slowly, and everyone followed out.

I saw that not far from the hall, Zi Xue and a group of men and women in white mourning clothes were walking towards Zi Xun, Zi Xun bowed his head slightly and bowed to Zi Xue and said: "Protect the country, please!" ”

Zixue saw that Zixun was acting abnormally, and there was no need to salute herself as Zixun's status, was it just because of Cumin's death? He smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Senior Brother!" ”

Zixun bowed slightly to Zi Tianming to show guilt, Zi Tianming nodded at him embarrassedly, and then entered the main hall with Zi Xue, as soon as he entered the door, Yin Xiuying threw himself on cumin's corpse and cried loudly.

Several other female dependents also surrounded cumin's corpse and suffered, Zi Tianming looked at cumin's corpse, tears couldn't help but flow, he wanted to go to investigate cumin's body, but was stopped by Zi Xue, Zi Xue pulled him to Zixun's high platform, Zi Xue arched his hand with a solemn face: "My brother died violently last night, and please tell the head of the house the cause of his death!" ”

Zixun stretched out his right hand and said, "Please also ask the Lord Protector and the head of the Zi family to sit down, and wait for me to call the perpetrators and witnesses to restore the truth of the matter." After that, he said to Kun Bu: "Go and bet Yuling and Jinpeng up!" ”

"Yes, sir!" After Kunbu received the order, he walked out quickly, and Zi Xue also walked beside him and sat down under the leadership of Zifeng.

He glanced at the mutation of the four peak masters, and was very puzzled in his heart, since Zixun came back from the shore of Qingyun Lake, this Tianshu Immortal Gate seemed to have changed the sky, and he was suffering all kinds of assassinations at any time, and he had heard about the assassination of the four peak masters, and he always felt that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Immediately after that, Yuling's fairy bracelet appeared, and the Bauhinia Fairy Grass also appeared in front of the public for the first time, and the speed of its news spread made Zixue staggering, but it was only half a month, and it spread throughout the entire Yunluo Continent, making those who were about to steal the Bauhinia Fairy Grass even more eager to move.

Even he knew that there were five groups of people who planned to go to the Tianshu Immortal Gate to steal the Bauhinia Immortal Grass recently, Zi Xue didn't have the heart to tell Zi Feng about it for the time being, he wanted to wait for the cumin matter to pass, and then talk to Zi Feng in detail.

He looked up at Zixun, the man whose cultivation was unfathomable, based on Xuan Yu's inference, this person's cultivation should be above the late stage of the merger, but his cultivation could see that Zixun was just a monk in the early stage of the merger, he really couldn't confirm that the gentle and elegant man in front of him was the one who broke into the blood demon array.

After Zixun felt Zixue's gaze, he nodded slightly at him, and the two looked at each other and smiled, treating each other politely as if they were on weekdays.

Suddenly, Kunbu and four or five disciples placed Jin Peng's body and the broken qin in the center of the hall, and behind them, followed by the jade spirit with iron chains on her hands and feet, a bloody cloth, and unkempt hair, and everyone's eyes were all focused on her.

Her face was haggard, and she staggered into the main hall and caught a glimpse of Zixuehou. Feeling guilty, tears poured out, and she knelt down in the direction of Zixue, she kowtowed, and cried in that hoarse and mosquito-like voice: "Senior brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”

Zixue's chest tightened, her heart ached, her painful expression proved that Cumin was indeed killed by her, but why did she do this? Zi Xue sent a message to her distressedly: "Why did Ling'er do this? ”

"I, I'......" Yu Ling was about to speak. was interrupted by Zixun. I only heard him reprimand harshly: "Zixiu first said what happened last night?" ”

Zixiu hurriedly stood up and said, "Last night, I was cultivating in the main hall, and I heard that the cabinet disciple Jin Peng came to report that He Yunxiao, a witness in the He family's extermination case, woke up, so I went to the Bauhinia Immortal Cave to report to the master. Who knew that after returning to Yaoxian Peak, he heard a disciple say that Jin Peng had shouted in the cabinet that Yuling had killed He Yunxiao. But when I went to the Cabinet, I found that Cumin was dead. The jade spirit fell in a pool of blood and was dying. And He Yunxiao did not die at all, but Jin Peng disappeared without a trace. ”

Zixun said coldly: "Last night, I heard that after He Yunxiao woke up, he went to the cabinet to check. It turned out that Jin Peng was playing the guqin with puppet magic, and she also controlled the jade spirit to kill me, and after I stopped it, she escaped, and I immediately ordered everyone to capture Jin Peng alive, but I didn't expect to be killed by Ziyue. As he spoke, he glared at Ziyue in displeasure.

Ziyue hurriedly walked to the center of the hall, and bowed slightly to Zixun and Zixue: "Last night, after I heard the arrest order of the master, I chased it out, and met Jin Peng at the foot of Yaoxian Peak Mountain, when she resisted fiercely, the guqin also hurt my arm, at that time, if I didn't resist, I was afraid that I would die, so I pulled out the Bauhinia fairy sword to fight, because the Bauhinia fairy sword is infinitely powerful, I accidentally killed Jin Peng, and cut off the guqin, the disciple absolutely has no intention of destroying it, and I hope the head will see it!" ”

Zixun's sharp eyes looked at Yu Ling and said: "These are the testimonies of our outsiders, Yu Ling is the party involved, you had better explain the matter clearly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Yu Ling looked up and saw Zi Xun's eyes, and knew that he was not allowed to tell the truth, and he had to say it according to what he fabricated, she glanced at Zi Xue and felt that she couldn't bear it, so she wanted to regret it, but Zi Xun's cold voice came from her ears: "Ling'er is obedient, do as I say." If you die, I will destroy the Zi family! ”

Yu Ling was stunned in her heart, she frowned and looked at Zixun, how could he be so selfish? Zixun stared at her and nodded at her, "Say it quickly! ”

"I, I'm ......" Yu Ling's eyes flickered, she lowered her head to avoid everyone's hot gaze, and then spoke: "Yesterday, it was me and Jinpeng who were responsible for the exercise to heal He Yunxiao's injuries, and I and Jinpeng kept vigil at night. Later, Jin Peng left halfway, and I faintly heard the quarrel between her and Senior Brother Cumin, it seemed that Jin Peng wanted Cumin to help her steal the Bauhinia Fairy Grass, as long as she stole the Bauhinia Fairy Grass, she would marry Cumin ......"

A sharp voice sounded, and Yu Ling only felt that her throat was tight, and she was pinched by a strange middle-aged woman, and she cried: "You are talking nonsense, but he is dedicated to the Tao, and there is no personal relationship between men and women, how could he steal the Bauhinia Fairy Grass for a Jinpeng bird." ”

As soon as Yin Xiuying pinched Yuling's throat, she was forcibly pulled away by Kunbu, and she howled and cried: "My family will never like any woman, he only has Taoism in his heart, you talk nonsense, you wronged a good person!" ”

"Ahem," Yu Ling only felt a hot current in his throat rush up, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the ground, Zixun was distressed, he gritted his teeth and glared at Yin Xiuying, Zi Tianming saw this and hurriedly pulled Yin Xiuying aside and said, "Don't cry, wait for her to finish!" ”

Yin Xiuying wiped away her tears aggrievedly, glared at Yu Ling hatefully, Yu Ling combed her feelings for a while, she also wanted to repay Cumin with her life, but Zixun loved her so much, if she died, the Zi family was afraid of falling, so she had to do what Zixun wanted, otherwise it would be burned in the jade.

Yu Ling blinked his big eyes a few times, took a deep breath and said, "But Senior Brother Cumin disagrees, he said that he is loyal to the Tianshu Immortal Sect and will never betray the sect, and draw a line with Jinpeng. When Jin Peng saw that Cumin had left decisively, and was worried that the matter would be revealed, she returned to the Qingzhu Hall and said to me, 'Senior sister, I have heard that you are proficient in music, why don't you listen to me play a song?' I said yes and listened carefully, but when I came to my senses, I was locked up in a dungeon, and I really didn't know what had happened. ”

Yu Ling said, looked at Zi Xue with teary eyes and said, "I only heard later that I killed cumin, senior brother, I'm sorry, I really don't know why I killed senior brother cumin?" Do you know, Senior Brother Cumin treated me well since I was a child, or did he teach me to refine the Purifying Pill, how could I kill Senior Brother Cumin? ”

Zixue's hanging heart fell, since Yuling didn't deliberately kill cumin, it would be easy to do.

He stood up and injected aura into his left wrist, and the white dragon instantly appeared in the main hall, he floated to the golden guqin and sniffed it: "This qin is indeed attached to a high-level puppet technique, and the person who plays the qin must be killed to remove the puppet technique!" With that, he floated back to Zixue's left wrist.

Zi Tianming stood up with a solemn face and said, "Since Ran'er was not killed by the Jade Spirit, and Jin Peng has also been brought to justice, then this matter will be stopped." ”

Zi Tianming's meaning was not unexpected by Zixun, he sighed, and was about to open his mouth to pardon Yuling, when he was interrupted by Yin Xiuying's sharp voice: "Stop? How can this be? The cause of death is strange, don't think that you can fool around with a dead bird or a broken piano. There is a saying: The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, and she should pay for her life if she killed Ran'er! ”

Zi Tianming angrily played a law decision to stun Yin Xiuying, and then he arched his hand and said: "The insider is to let the grief dazzle, and I hope the head will forgive me." Since this matter has nothing to do with Yuling, we will no longer pursue it and take our leave! ”

After saying that, he motioned for the people to carry cumin's body away, and four men in mourning clothes hurriedly got up to carry cumin's body away.

Seeing this, Zixun hurriedly stood up and said, "Slow! Cumin is loyal to Xianmen, and I am also saddened by his death. In order to show my thoughts, in the future, all animal cultivators over the age of five in the Zi family can voluntarily go to the sect to practice, and in addition, ten medium-grade Zixing Pills will be given to the Zi family to compensate for cumin's selfless dedication to the Xianmen over the years! ”

Zi Tianming was overjoyed when he heard this, turned around and knelt on the ground, and the Zi family was also very happy, knelt down one after another, and said in unison with Zi Tianming: "Thank you, master!" ”

"Everyone, please get up, after all, we have failed the Zi family." Zixun stood up and walked in front of Zi Xue and said, "Although Yu Ling is about to kill Cumin when he is being manipulated, he is also to blame. As a night vigil disciple, if she does not abide by the laws and disciplines of the sect, and is taken advantage of by others, she must be severely punished, so as not to be unrepentant!"

Zi Xue looked at Zixun and didn't know what he meant? Isn't it the best outcome that has come to this? Could it be that Zixun himself refused to let go of Yuling, could it be that he knew Yuling's identity as a spy and wanted to take this opportunity to kill people and kill people?
