Chapter 332: Finding Clues
"You!" Zhong Mingyang's face was full of anger, but he couldn't refute her, and Anya went on to say to the disciples behind him: "You have not been short to get started, with the cultivation of Master Yuan's infancy, you should also know how long life insurance should be, but now that his old man has passed away suddenly, don't you think it's strange?" When Master was alive, he was not thin on all of you, as a disciple of the Qingyang Sect, do you have the obligation to find out the true cause of his old man's death? ”
Many of those dozens of disciples were bought by Zhong Mingyang, so naturally they would not be on her side, but most of the disciples were unknown. The truth, they listened to Zhong Mingyang's words before, and they didn't doubt this matter, but when they heard Anya say this, they all noticed that there was indeed something strange about this matter, and they suddenly didn't dare to say so sure that the old boss was dying. But because of Zhong Mingyang's identity as the head, they didn't dare to speak out, but they just discussed this matter one after another, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly became tense.
"Presumably everyone is also a sensible person, and I don't want to directly put this charge on anyone's head, but it takes a little time to find out. If Senior Brother Zhong has a clear conscience, why should he stop me? Let me find out about this matter, so that Master and his old man can look at it, right? Anya saw that everyone had been moved by her, so she struck while the iron was hot.
At this time, a middle-aged man who had been standing behind Zhong Mingyang also spoke: "Senior brother, what Senior Sister said also makes sense, you might as well let her check, there is no harm, isn't it?" ”
"Or Senior Brother Li is sensible, but I don't know what Senior Brother Wang thinks?" Anya said to another younger man standing beside him.
The man known as Senior Brother Wang was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's naturally good, it is within the duty of an apprentice to let the master and his old man go with peace of mind." ”
Seeing that the other two junior disciples were also persuaded by Anya, Zhong Mingyang had no choice but to reluctantly nod and said: "Since this is the case, then you can go and investigate, but I have something to say first, if you can't find out why, don't blame me for being a senior brother who is not polite, I will definitely expel you from the division for the crime of disturbing the order of the division!" Moreover, I will only give you three days, if you agree, you will investigate, if you don't agree, my Qingyang faction will not allow you to mess around here! ”
Anya had long affirmed in her heart that he had something to do with this matter, and she also believed that she would definitely be able to find out the results with Su Qiubai's help, so she nodded and said, "Okay, if I can't find out, I don't need you to say more, and I won't be able to stay in this division myself." ”
The matter has come to this point, even if Zhong Mingyang is angry in his heart, he has nothing to say, so he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.
Anya originally had a room in the Qingyang faction, so naturally there was no need to arrange it, and Su Qiubai's residence was arranged not far from her room. After settling Su Qiubai, Anya said to him: "In addition to Zhong Mingyang, I have two other senior brothers, the second senior brother is called Li Houqun, and the third senior brother Wang Bo, that is, the two people who spoke to me just now, but I am not sure whether they are on the side of the senior brother or fighting on their own." ”
Su Qiubai felt a little strange when he heard this, so he asked, "Since your master has a total of four disciples, isn't the eldest disciple a candidate to succeed the head of the sect, isn't there a second disciple and a third disciple?" Why did you skip the two of them and choose you directly? ”
Anya shook her head and said, "Actually, I don't know very well, but Master has loved me more since I was a child, maybe he prefers me more." But speaking of which, these two senior brothers also have their own characteristics, Senior Brother Wang usually doesn't talk much, no one knows what he is thinking, even if he is a master, he rarely communicates with him, and he is an incomprehensible person. And Senior Brother Li is too tactful, no one can be offended, and he looks very good with anyone, but he is not a deep friend, I don't know what kind of relationship he has with Senior Brother, and Master must not be sure, so I dare not entrust the position of head to him. ”
Su Qiubai frowned when he heard this, and said, "You senior brothers don't seem to be fuel-efficient lamps, and your personality looks the simplest, no wonder your master only believes in you." But if you think about it carefully at this time, your senior brother is not the only one who is suspicious, so don't preconceive that he did it. ”
Anya nodded and said, "I just think he is the most suspicious, and then look at his table today, it is unlikely that he has nothing to do with this matter." In general, let's wait until the truth is ascertained, we have to hurry up these days, lest they be thieves and destroy the evidence. ”
"Do you know where your master is buried? I want to go to his grave first. Su Qiubai asked.
Anya nodded and said, "After the successive heads of the Qingyang faction pass away, the bodies will not be buried directly, but will be placed in the hall of worship in the back mountain for future generations of disciples to pay respects. ”
Su Qiubai asked in surprise when he heard this, "That means, we still have a chance to check his old man's body?" ”
Anya hurriedly shook her head and said, "How can it be done!" Although he was not buried, the coffins were all closed, how could he open them again and disturb his old man's sleep! ”
Su Qiubai also felt that this was a little inappropriate, so he nodded and said, "It's also true, don't offend the deceased until you have to." But the hall should be an important place for teachers, can I, an outsider, enter it? ”
Anya thought for a while and said, "Originally, it was not possible, but this time the situation is special, even if someone stops me, I have a way to let you in." ”
The two of them didn't waste much time, and came directly to the door of the Houshan Worship Hall, Su Qiubai glanced around, and found that this place was where the spiritual veins in Qingyang Mountain were located, no wonder it was regarded as the sleeping place of the heads of the past dynasties, and it must have been to protect the Qingyang faction.
There are disciples guarding in front of the Jingshi Hall, and Anya can come and go freely, but Su Qiubai cannot.
"The division is important, and outsiders are not allowed to trespass!" The guard disciple said.
Anya explained: "We are here to investigate the cause of my master's death, the situation is special, you two should be accommodating." ”
One of the disciples shook his head and said, "Uncle An, we know that you have a high seniority, but this is a rule of the master's family, and you will not be able to violate it at will just because you are high." ”
Anya frowned and said, "What does this have to do with my seniority?" Investigate the cause of Master's death, Zhong ...... The boss also agreed, but you blocked it in every possible way, if you delay my investigation, can you two afford it? ”
The two disciples looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while, so they said, "Then let's go and ask the head first, and if he says it's okay, we'll let him in." ”
Seeing this, Anya hurriedly stopped, if they really went to ask Zhong Mingyang, he would not agree to let Su Qiubai in anyway.
While they were entangled, Anya heard a familiar voice from behind: "Let them in, senior brother in charge, I'll go and talk to him." ”
Anya and Su Qiubai looked back and saw that it was the second senior brother Li Houqun.
"Uncle Li, this ...... I'm afraid that's not appropriate, right? After all, this is a place where the heads of the past generations have slept peacefully, and letting outsiders in at will will not disturb their restful sleep? The guard disciple said in embarrassment.
Li Houqun smiled and said: "Mr. Su is a guest of our Qingyang faction, and he is a friend of your Uncle An, and he is not an outsider. ”
"But...... If the master blames him...... the disciple still refuses to agree.
Li Houqun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just push it to me if there's anything, and I'll bear it for you." ”
Since he said so, the two disciples were not responsible, so naturally they would not say anything more, so they let go of the door of the Jingshi Hall.
Anya didn't speak, but she was very surprised in her heart, why did Li Houqun suddenly appear? And why help her? She knew that her second senior brother was usually used to being a good person, but at this time, helping herself was tantamount to showing that he was on her side, was it to clear up the relationship with Zhong Mingyang? Did he perceive something?
A series of questions popped up in Anya's heart, but it was not easy to ask directly, so she politely said to Li Houqun: "Thank you Senior Brother Li for helping me out of the siege, but what is Senior Brother going to do when he comes to Jingshitang?" ”
Li Houqun replied: "Originally, I wanted to come to worship Master, but when I saw that you were blocked, I helped you. However, if you come here to investigate, I am only afraid that it will be inconvenient, so I will not add to the chaos. Go in, and I'll come back later. ”
After Li Houqun finished speaking, he turned around and left the door of the Jingshi Hall.
After Su Qiubai and Anya entered the Jingshi Hall, Anya suddenly asked, "Xiaobai, do you believe what he said?" ”
Su Qiubai shook his head with a smile and said, "He didn't expect us to believe it at all, and he was revealing some information to us through Guò's move." ”
Anya knew that he wanted to go with him, so he said: "Is he trying to show that he and Zhong Mingyang are not all the way?" ”
Su Qiubai nodded and said, "Although I don't know what the facts are, he really wants to convey this message to us." And he also wants to show that he is on our side, as for his purpose, I can't say. ”
Anya lowered her head and thought for a while, and finally said: "No matter what, one more ally is better than multiple enemies, although I don't know what he is trying to do this, but I don't think he has any reason to harm us, let's believe him for the time being." ”
The two of them walked into the interior of the Jingshi Hall, which was a house embedded in the mountain, and the interior was the structure of an ordinary house, the only difference was that there were no windows, but it was in line with the characteristics of the Yin House.
The spiritual seats and portraits of the heads of the past dynasties were hung in the main hall of the hall of respecting the master, and Anya first put a stick of incense on the master, and then took Su Qiubai to the tomb where the coffin was parked.
