Chapter 331: The Death of the Old Master
After Ling Guang left, Su Qiubai asked, "The situation was urgent just now, and I didn't hear it very clearly, what is going on with this qiē?" What happened to your teacher? ”
Anya's expression darkened when she heard this, and she said, "My master is ...... has passed away, I thought that with his old man's cultivation, he would never ...... so soon That's why I've been at the foot of the mountain for so many years, and I've never come back, and who knows that when I hear from him again, I'll be separated forever. ”
Su Qiubai didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to say: "People can't be resurrected after death, so let's mourn and change." ”
Anya nodded, adjusted her feelings, and then continued: "I received a phone call from my senior brother, and he told me about my master's death, and I immediately left everything at hand and rushed back, but I didn't expect that this was his conspiracy at all, and I even suspected that Master's death had nothing to do with him!" Because Ling Guang told me that before the death of the master immortal, he made it clear that he wanted me to inherit the position of the head of the family, and the senior brother held a grudge against me because of this, but"
Su Qiubai thought for a moment and asked, "I heard Ling Guang say that your senior brother is your master's eldest disciple, shouldn't the position of head be inherited by the eldest disciple?" Your master's inheritance of the throne to you is indeed a bit unreasonable. ”
Anya nodded and said: "I didn't want to fight for the position of the head of the sect, I am the youngest apprentice of the master, and I am a woman, so I am not suitable to be the head of the faction." And Master did plan to let Senior Brother Zhong inherit his position, but when he was dying, he suddenly changed his mind, the only possibility is that he already had some doubts about Senior Brother in his heart, as for why, I still don't know, but I think Master's death is very likely to be related to Senior Brother Zhong! ”
Su Qiubai listened to Anya's words, thought about it carefully, and said: "According to what Ling Guang said before, your master only decided to appoint you as the successor head when he was dying, and before that, your senior brother mostly thought that he was the heir to the head of the family, since this position of head should have been his, why did he bother to do such a rebellious act of killing the master?" ”
Anya shook her head and said, "You don't know, senior brother is hypocritical and greedy on weekdays, this master knows this best, with his temperament, in order to take over the position of head as soon as possible, it is not impossible to do this kind of thing." My master's cultivation has already broken through the Yuan Infant Stage, so his life insurance is by no means so short, which is why I have stayed at the bottom of the mountain for so long without any scruples. If it weren't for some accident that I didn't know about, he wouldn't have passed away so soon. But I have the heart to investigate this matter, and I am not my brother's opponent. He has attracted many disciples in the sect over the years, so he was able to succeed in winning the throne in one fell swoop this time. ”
"It's not entirely impossible. But it's been more than two months since your master passed away, and I'm afraid the body is no longer there, so I'm afraid it's not so easy to investigate. But don't worry, I'll do my best to help you. The most urgent thing is to reveal your brother's true colors first. His cultivation is not much worse than mine, and with the help of his henchmen and disciples, I may not be able to take advantage of it, so this matter has to be considered in the long run. Su Qiubai said.
Anya only remembered this at this time, so she asked, "My senior brother's cultivation has also broken through the Jindan stage, how did you defeat him and break into here?" ”
Su Qiubai laughed when he heard this, and said: "Speaking of which, your senior brother's courage is really small, I just led a thunderbolt to scare him, so he didn't dare to do anything rashly against me." How can such a person be qualified for the position of head of any faction? Su Qiubai said and told Anya about the scene at that time.
"Heavenly thunder?" Anya also laughed when she heard this, she knew best what kind of person her senior brother was, and it was very appropriate to describe it as Jin Yuqi's defeat, but she was also a little surprised when she heard that Su Qiubai could lead the sky to thunder.
"The power of the heavenly thunder is the most difficult to control, you are only the cultivation of the Jindan period, and you can already lead the heavenly thunder?" Anya asked in surprise.
Su Qiubai nodded and said, "Citations are able to lead, but not with the kind of method you know, if one day my cultivation is enough to control the heavenly thunder with my own strength, then I will not be far from becoming an immortal." Today is just because it happens to be a cloudy day, and the power of the thunder spirit in the air is quite abundant, so I took the thunder spirit as a guide and reluctantly fell a heavenly thunder, but this method is very dangerous, because I can't control the direction of the thunder falling, and if it hits my head, it will be miserable. ”
Although Anya didn't know how he did it, she listened to what he said and said in fear: "You are too risky, in case something happens, do you want me to blame myself for the rest of my life?" ”
Su Qiubai smiled when he heard this: "I won't be killed by a thunderbolt, right?" And I was on guard, not rash. If I don't do this, it will be difficult to give him enough deterrence, and if I do fight, even if I can win, I will inevitably hurt your disciples, which is one of the reasons why I am reluctant to do it. ”
Anya was moved when she heard this, she knew that Su Qiubai was thinking about her, with his ability and the power of the artifact he possessed, the strength of the disciples of less than 100 people in the Qingyang Sect was not enough at all, and it was not difficult to really fight and destroy her master.
"Thank you for doing this for me, I ...... I don't know how to thank you. Anya said with gratitude and guilt.
Su Qiubai smiled evilly: "I don't know how to thank me, then promise by example." ”
Anya was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then realized that Su Qiubai was joking, so she was about to reach out to hit him, but she forgot that she was still trapped in the spiritual power enchantment, and she was bounced back immediately.
"Let's not talk so much, I'll release you first, and then find a way to solve this matter after we get out." Su Qiubai said, and began to use his spiritual power to probe the method of breaking this enchantment.
Seeing this, Anya said, "Don't be so troublesome, I know how to break this enchantment." You see that on the mountain walls on all sides, there is a mechanism in the shape of a dragon head, which is the source of the spiritual power of this enchantment, as long as you find a way to cut off the spiritual power in it, the enchantment will naturally disappear, but you have to be careful not to destroy the mechanism. ”
Su Qiubai glanced around, and sure enough, he saw four bronze dragon heads, so it was easy to do. It was not difficult to cut off the source of spiritual power, and he used his body as a barrier, and it was easy to do it.
After letting Anya out, the two walked out of the dungeon, and seeing that Ling Guang was still guarding outside, Anya asked, "Where are we going now?" There is no other place to live on this Qingyang Mountain. ”
Su Qiubai smiled and said, "Our trip is to investigate the cause of your master's death, why are you hiding?" In my opinion, it is most suitable to live in this Qingyang Sect. ”
Before Anya could speak, Ling Guang on the side hurriedly stopped: "That's not good, we have offended Uncle Zhong now, where will he let us live here?" ”
Su Qiubai stretched out an index finger and shook it, and said, "It's a big mistake, we are going to propose to live here now, and he doesn't dare to disagree." Unless all the disciples in the sect are convinced of him, and there is no doubt about what you say. ”
Ling Guang and Anya were stunned when they heard this, they both knew that Zhong Mingyang was an extremely hypocritical person, and they also knew that there must be many disciples in the door who had opinions about him, if they asked to stay in the name of finding out the truth, Zhong Mingyang would not dare to refuse them because of their affection, otherwise in the eyes of other disciples, it would seem that there was a ghost in their hearts.
"I can't imagine that you know my senior brother better than me, he is hypocritical, and he really won't reject us directly, but he will definitely do it secretly, and we have to guard against him." Anya said.
Su Qiubai nodded, and walked towards the front mountain with the two of them, while saying: "It's okay, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, I want to see how powerful he is." ”
The two returned to the front mountain, and the disciples who had gathered before did not dare to disperse, because they didn't know if Su Qiubai would come back. And Zhong Mingyang had already reappeared at this time, still holding a long sword and a gossip mirror in his hand, it seemed that he had escaped just now to get a weapon.
"You are not too brave to dare to take the main road down the mountain, do you think I will let you go?" Zhong Mingyang said with a sneer.
"Who said we're leaving?" Su Qiubai smiled disapprehantly.
His words greatly surprised Zhong Mingyang, he thought that Su Qiubai's purpose was to save Anya, and he only needed to deal with it at will, so he pretended to let them go and it would be fine, but he didn't want him to say this.
"Not leaving? Are you still planning to stay here for a long time? Zhong Mingyang asked inexplicably.
Su Qiubai nodded when he heard this, and said: "Until we find out the real cause of the old master's death, we don't plan to leave, after all, you are also holding the title of the head at this time, so we came to sue you." ”
As soon as he heard this, Zhong Mingyang's face changed and he said, "Nonsense! My master and his old man are dying, how can there be any real cause of death? That's it, I know that the previous sentence on the charge of betraying Senior Sister An was a little hasty, since the evidence is insufficient, then it doesn't hurt to let you go, don't get entangled anymore, leave quickly! ”
Su Qiubai and Anya both knew that he had heard that they were going to investigate the cause of death of the former master, and in a hurry, he couldn't take care of the three of them, and let them go, more than one thing was better than less.
But where would Su Qiubai care about his opinion, so he directly refused: "Since it is the end of life, then it doesn't hurt for us to investigate, and it can be regarded as letting Anya do her filial piety." If it is really found out that his old man is dying, it can also make the disciples in the sect feel at ease, right? ”
The look on Zhong Mingyang's face changed and changed uncertainly, and finally flicked his sleeves and said forcefully: "Nonsense! The master has passed away, but you still want to disturb his sleep, what is your intention? ”
Anya didn't back down when she heard this, and said directly: "I suspect that Master's death has something else going on, but you do everything you can to obstruct and prevent me from investigating, what are your intentions?" ”
