789. Questioning
After some forced pressure from Lingyu, the old man learned that Qiu Bai was dead, so he simply poured beans into a bamboo tube and told everything he knew.
His biggest confidence is Qiu Bai, the young master, now that Qiu Bai is dead, when he returns to the Qiu family, he not only has to bear this responsibility, but also has to be suppressed by the other party, in this case, is it necessary to keep a secret for Qiu Bai? People are dead, what's the use of keeping secrets?
The so-called loyalty, it is for the living, and when everyone dies, allegiance ends.
Besides, the reputation of these two people, even Da Mengze, most of the high-level cultivators knew about it. Lingyu's personality and temper can be seen from the fact that she dared to argue with Zhaoming Sword Monarch during her marriage period, and also made a two-hundred-year life and death gambling contract.
And Xu Reverse, he escaped from death, returned after being promoted to the Yuan level, and the Liantai Zhihui defeated Zhaoming with only one sword, and then returned to the Zixiao Sword Sect and won the position of Sword Monarch. Such a character, even if he is silent, no one dares to despise him. How do you say that, a dog that bites doesn't bark.
If Xu Wei knew that he had been described as a biting dog several times, I don't know how he would feel......
In short, the old man thinks that it is better for him to be honest and fifteen-ten, and he still wants to live to the end of his life!
"Do you mean to say that the young master of your family has personally experienced this matter and has not explained it to you?" Lingyu asked slowly.
"Yes." The old man said, "The young master has always been unfathomable, and he doesn't like us subordinates to snoop on his privacy, we have always understood that we don't ask what we shouldn't ask." ”
This is very in line with Jiang Yuanbai's character, and Lingyu also feels that if Jiang Yuanbai really has someone behind him. I will never leak this to others. He's the kind of person. Suspicious. No matter how loyal his subordinates are, they will not give much trust, let alone such a fatal thing.
"What else?"
The old man thought about it carefully and hesitated: "Speaking of which, the old man thinks that the young master should have started this matter decades ago. ”
"Decades ago?" Lingyu narrowed her eyes.
"Yes." The old man recalled, "It was probably twenty or thirty years. The young master started at that time, and every once in a while, he would go to Xingluo Sea. There are many shops in Xingluohai, whether our big Mengze sells or buys materials, we can't get around, since the young master has taken power, this matter is also his responsibility. ”
"At first, the old man didn't notice anything unusual. Later, the old man found that the young master was secretly inquiring about the news of the Corpse Cold Island and the Ten Thousand Bone Caves. I thought. What enemies does he have that are the demon cultivators in these two places......"
The old man smiled awkwardly, it seems. Jiang Yuanbai's character of revenge and revenge, as a subordinate, he also knows a lot.
"The young master has been paying close attention to the movements of these two forces, but he has not made a move. It wasn't until a few months ago that we were suddenly summoned and invited to those people......"
In this way, when they met Jiang Yuanbai in Ning'an City, he had just started this matter, and he was really resolute......
Speaking of this, there was a groan from the old man's flying magic weapon.
The old man looked down, but saw that the seriously injured early stage monk's face was terrifyingly pale, and the spiritual breath on his body was rapidly draining, and he was no longer able to maintain the true element of the body protection.
"Ah Hui!" He called out eagerly.
The young man opened his eyes weakly, he couldn't hold himself anymore, and said, "Uncle Hong, I'm ...... It's a little overwhelming. ”
The old man hurriedly took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, took out a healing pill, and stuffed it into his mouth: "If you can't hold it, you have to hold it up!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Lingyu pleadingly: "Cheng Zhenren, Xu Jianjun, what do you want to ask, the old man knows everything, he just asks the two of you to give my junior a way to live, his injuries are ......"
Lingyu killed Jiang Yuanbai because he acted strangely, and finally made it clear that he wanted to turn his face. For people like Jiang Yuanbai, either they must not be offended and stay away, if they are already opposed, they must take the opportunity to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise there will be endless troubles. As for these two Qiu family monks, there is no need to kill people.
She looked at Xu Rui, and Xu Rui said, "You guys come up and talk about it." ”
The old man did not doubt it, and thanked again and again: "Thank you both." ”
immediately received the magic weapon of flying and took his juniors into Shangzhen Palace.
If Lingyu and Xu Wei were to be unfavorable to them, they could kill them directly, just enter the True Palace, what would he not dare?
Lingyu looked at the young man's face and leaned over to touch his veins.
The old man opened his mouth and said nothing. In this case, Lingyu didn't need to act at all.
"The injuries are a bit severe, but fortunately the foundation has not been affected much." Lingyu said, took out the elixir bag from his sleeve, took out a leaf from it, and threw it to the old man, "Give it to him, recuperate for a few months to absorb the medicinal properties, and this fate is saved." However, if you want to completely heal your injury, you can't do it for more than ten years. ”
This young man is already seriously injured and wants to die, he can save his life, the old man doesn't dare to ask too much, what is it to heal for more than ten years?
"Cheng Zhenren," holding this leaf, the old man swallowed, "This thing must be a healing treasure, and I am afraid that the old decay is ......"
"Arcana is not a treasure, it can only be said to be an elixir. Since I took the initiative to take it out, I have no intention of receiving compensation, so you can rest assured. ”
The old man hesitated slightly: "Then thank you Cheng Zhenren." ”
He shoved the leaves into the young man's mouth, and the leaves slowly turned into sap and flowed down the young man's throat. After a while, the young man's face looked much better and was less painful.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, but in his heart, the resistance of the two of them was greatly reduced.
People are like this, if you show favor at the beginning, others will ask for more when they get used to it. Lingyu is like this, at the beginning of the shock, at this time, a little kindness, but can be grateful.
The old man's tone was much more sincere: "Cheng Zhenren still wants to know something, just ask." ”
Lingyu nodded and asked, "What's your name?" ”
The old man replied: "Old decay Qiu Hong, this is Qiu Hui, the nephew in the next room. ”
A big family like them, the clansmen don't know how many people there are, they can be called nephews in the next room, and the previous generations should be the same ancestor, so the relationship is closer than that of ordinary clansmen.
You must know that when it comes to the conflict of interests, it is impossible for the Qiu family to be harmonious, and there are many such things as intrigue, framing, and it is not uncommon for people to directly take their lives. Like Jiang Yuanbai, he became a young master as an unrecognized illegitimate son, and he didn't know how many lives he had in his hands. And this Qiu Hong has a little sincere concern for Qiu Hui.
Lingyu had already made a decision at this moment, she smiled and said, "My nephew is too injured, presumably Qiu Daoyou doesn't have any thoughts at the moment, so it's better to wait a few days." In this way, Qiu Daoyou can not only take care of his nephew, but also think about Qiu Bai's affairs, how about it? ”
After seeing Lingyu's strong and ruthless, and then seeing her kind and harmless smile, Qiu Hongda felt a chill in his heart. But he didn't dare to disagree with Lingyu, so he could only say: "Thank you Cheng Zhenren for your understanding......"
Xu Wei pointed to the front hall: "This place is suitable for healing, you can come and go at will." We don't go with you. ”
After that, he and Lingyu bypassed them and went to the apse.
Qiu Hong stayed for a while and came back to his senses. Just now he was frightened in his heart, and he didn't take a good look at the surrounding scenery, but at this time, he looked carefully and couldn't help but praise secretly.
This Shangzhen Palace has a hall and a corridor, a pavilion and a platform, and even a garden pond, it is a real portable cave house, and it is rare that it even has the function of flying magic weapon. Such a treasure has never been heard of.
He couldn't help but think of the rumor about the Mandate of Heaven. Destiny? Sure enough......
Back in the apse, Xu Yi asked, "What do you want to do when you leave them?" ”
"I don't want to do anything, can't I be kind?" Lingyu said.
Xu Wei shook his head: "You forget about others, even I want to be blinded?" "If you want to be kind, you don't have to do anything, just let them go.
Lingyu laughed twice and said, "This Qiu Hong came out to do such a secret thing, he must be Qiu Bai's trusted henchman." We feel that he is abnormal, and of course we have to start with the people around him. ”
Xu Rui realized: "You mean, from Qiu Hong, understand Qiu Bai and find doubts?" ”
Lingyu nodded: "Even if Qiu Hong only obeyed Qiu Bai after his infancy, it has been more than a hundred years, and he must know a lot about Qiu Bai." ”
They guessed that there was someone behind Qiu Bai, who this person was, what was the relationship with Ming Yuan, and whether it was related to the person behind the scenes, all of which needed to be verified one by one. And if you want to verify these problems, you have to start with the details. Inquiring about the details is not just a matter of asking two words, there are some things, Qiu Hong may not be able to remember for a while.
"If Qiu Bai is dead, I'm afraid the Qiu family has already gotten the news, let's detain these two people, and the Qiu family will ......"
Lingyu smiled: "Don't worry, we have a reason, even if we detain them for a while, the Qiu family will not dare to do anything to us." What's more, I still want to go to Qiu's house in person! ”
"Go to Qiu's house in person?"
"Yes!" A cold light flashed in Lingyu's eyes, "Qiu Bai's matter, the Qiu family must give an explanation." If we detain people and just pass on the word, the Qiu family may not think so, but if we bring Qiu Hong and Qiu Hui to the door to ask for the guilt, will the Qiu family dare to treat it carefully? ”
Even if the Qiu family had a Yuan Hou monk, so what? How could the weight of the two of them be measured by ordinary Yuan Hou monks? As long as the Qiu family finds a way to explain, they will be able to find more clues.
In the current situation, any clues about the people behind the scenes are precious, and Lingyu doesn't mind being domineering.
Of course, the person behind Qiu Bai may not be the person behind the scenes, if so, it will just be in vain.
"Speaking of which," Xu Wei groaned, "Da Mengze has always been a place that I have ignored, could it be that the people behind the scenes are actually in Da Mengze?" ”
At the same time, the big dream of Zeyangchuan Lake.
In the side hall of the Qiu family's ancestral hall, an old foundation building monk is slowly sweeping away the dust.
Suddenly, where the natal card was placed, there was a sudden "snap" and a cracking sound.
Which of the people died outside? The old monk thought slowly, and when he turned his head, his cloudy eyes suddenly widened.
The natal card placed in the second row has one broken and broken, and the word "Qiu Bai" is written on it.
"It's the young master...... "The old monk muttered, his voice full of shock. (To be continued......)
