Volume 1 The Wolf Smoke in the World Chapter 9 The Suspect
How beautiful the scenery is in Shuzhong, the mountain road, the Flying Snake Valley, the first line of the sky, straight to the Emei Golden Peak. Since the period of Emperor Wu of Liang, the large and small sects on Shu Mountain merged into the Shushan Fairy Sword School under the leadership of the Immortal Sword School, the first generation of the head of the sect was introduced into the immortal by the Emperor of Heaven, and then took the maintenance of the order between the demons in the human world as the great task, established the lock demon tower, people-oriented, except for the demons and subdued the demons, and the cultivation of immortals was only its auxiliary, and the Shushan Sword School was also referred to as the Shushan School after the Shushan Sword School.
On the top of the Shushan Palace, seven people sat around. The leader is Wei Lingfeng, the real person of Tianshu in charge of Shushan, the real person of Tianxuan on the right, Mrs. Miaoru, the real person of Tianji, Sima Changkong, and the real person of Tianquan Feng Yushu; The left hanging hands are Elder Sun Huan of Yuheng Valley, Li Moran, the judge of Kaiyang Iron Pen, and Shangguan Feng, the master of the Discipline Hall.
Tianshu real person Wei Lingfeng opened his mouth and said, "How? Is the case clearer? ”
Feng Yushu replied: "The two who died were all under my Tianquan, the two of them were young and vigorous that day, and said that they wanted to seek justice for a senior, I didn't ask in detail, I should have stopped it, but I expected that with Sima Dao's male and female swords in hand, it was always not difficult to get out, but I didn't expect that it would be difficult to escape." Bai Bai Que is a relative of the chief of the imperial court, and Zhao Ting is the nephew of the prime minister of Zhao Cheng in the current dynasty, and he is afraid that the court will blame him if he does not handle it well. ”
Wei Lingfeng nodded: "Brother Shangguan Xian is in charge of the criminal name, let's talk about the case." ”
Shangguan Feng is about forty years old, with a black beard and a straight face, and he does not pretend to smile: "The case is strange, and it can only be described by the word strange." The two disciples were Longmen and half-step Jindan monks, both died of male and female sword wounds, one was a sword in the chest, and the other was a sword in the back. There are six suspects, and the strongest cultivator is the third stage of the Kaimai, if you want to say that he can kill these two, I don't believe it. ”
Wei Lingfeng asked, "Is there a portrait of the scene?" ”
Shangguan Feng shook his hand and took out the mirror image of the water and sky from his arms: "This picture was taken by the sister herself, I have gone to the scene in person yesterday, and it is not bad at all." After that, when I showed the picture scroll, the scene of the corpses of Bai and Zhao was vivid.
The present are all old immortals who have cultivated for many years, and how can they not see the authenticity, they already know it at a glance.
Sima Changkong opened his mouth and said, "Maybe the murderer is someone else. Why is it that I see my female sword, but the male sword is nowhere to be seen? The strange thing here is that I am only afraid of finding a male sword, and I can crack one or two. ”
Shangguan Feng still didn't show his expression: "Brother Sima Dao can make other conjectures, my generation is in charge of the punishment, and he can only judge according to people, things, time, place, and circumstances, and nothing else will be elaborated." ”
Sima Changkong sneered: "What's so difficult about this, when the old man recalls the male sword, he can judge whether there is anything else hidden." Sima Changkong broke his middle finger, dropped a drop of essence blood on the sword body, and recited the mantra in his mouth: "Pure Yang Lu Zu is floating in the wind, and the male and female on his shoulder are slashing the demons; Compassion to save suffering and spread the wonderful way, so far the name of the ancient name. Haste as a law, return, return, return! Shouting three times "Return", the purple female sword was full of light, and let out bursts of roars, as if to recall the cyan male sword.
It's just that he didn't see the sword returning, but Sima Changkong spat blood into the air.
Elder Sun Huan of Yuheng Valley hurriedly stepped forward, pinched his veins, and gave him a breath of spiritual energy, which faintly suppressed the injury. Sima Changkong's eyes opened slightly: "The male sword is three hundred miles northwest of this place, and it was suppressed by someone with innate qi, and he couldn't fly, this person is really hateful." ”
Wei Lingfeng was surprised, Sima Changfeng has been cultivating male and female swords for more than a hundred years, and he doesn't dare to say that he is more than Chunyang Lu Zu, that is, the ordinary Yuanying Realm cultivation is definitely not his opponent, I really don't know if there are any masters in this Dayu Zhongzhou who can detain his own talisman sword.
Feng Yushu interjected at this moment: "It seems that the other party has great powers, so let's start with the suspect, and ask Senior Brother Shangguan to invite Sister Ling to come and inquire in detail." ”
Shangguan Feng replied: "The sister is not a girl who is twenty years old, what can she do, you don't have to pin your hopes on this." ”
Feng Yushu smiled: "No, women don't let them have eyebrows, they have the cultivation of the Jindan realm at the age of twenty." The immortal family has a saying, 'To be a Jindanke, you are my generation', but you can't do it when you are twenty years old. ”
Wei Lingfeng waved his hand and signaled: "Shangguan Xiaofan, the deputy hall master of the Transmission Discipline Hall." ”
Shangguan Xiaofan was dressed in green, and he was born in the main hall, and he was rude to everyone, especially looking at Tianxuan's real person Miaoru Lady, showing his naughty little tongue slightly.
Mrs. Miaoru was also very fond of her beloved apprentice, and nodded her head.
Wei Lingfeng was smiling at the moment: "Shangguan Hall Master, what do you think about the death of Bai and Zhao?" ”
Shangguan Xiaofan Yingying bowed: "Back to the master, according to the disciple's humble opinion, Bai and Zhao are both children of official eunuchs, they have always been arrogant, and there is no one in their eyes. ”
"Presumptuous, please be cautious, do you know what the crime of harming the same family is?" Feng Yushu had already changed color on the side.
Shangguan Xiaofan still said to himself: "Feng Zhenren doesn't have to be angry, and just look at the lack of a sword behind the back during the day, this strength is not big, it is not small, if you fight with others, how can you turn your back on the enemy?" Therefore, there must be a familiar person, and the male and female swords are Zhao Ting's natal flying swords, who else can control them? With these two points, the possibility of attacking and killing each other cannot be ruled out. ”
Feng Yushu was furious: "Bold, are you saying that my Tianquan Sect is actually some people with improper minds?" Zhao Ting was also hit by a sword in the chest, how can this be explained? ”
"Feng Zhangmen, you let the little girl speak, it's just suspicious, it's not conclusive, you are new to the position of a real person, in charge of the heavenly power, you can't lose your identity." On the side, Mrs. Miaoru spoke gently.
Although she has practiced for a hundred years, she looks like a beautiful woman in her early thirties, with a goose egg face, curved thin eyebrows, apricot eyes that seem to be able to speak, and her skin is white and greasy like clotted fat, and she seems to be able to squeeze out water by pinching it. Dressed in an apricot-yellow tight-fitting robe, the devil-like figure collapsed tightly, especially the two towering peaks on the chest, trembling and towering, as if luring a man to take a bite.
When Feng Yushu saw that it was her, most of his anger suddenly disappeared, and he quipped: "Follow the decree of senior sister." ”
"I think this case is complicated, it's better to wait and see what happens, the thief is cowardly, and he will definitely show his feet over time." Li Moran, the pen judge who had never spoken on the side, also spoke.
Wei Lingfeng turned his head: "What Judge Li said is not unreasonable, let me ask the deputy hall master of Shangguan, where did the biggest suspicious person come from?" ”
Shangguan Xiaofan said: "He claims to be the commander of the Li family's army, and he has a waist card as evidence. ”
Wei Lingfeng groaned slightly: "Quickly order someone to send this waist card to the Li Chongxin military camp in Loess Slope to make an identification, and then make a judgment after a conclusion." At present, the six suspects are all imprisoned in the quarry, eating and drinking every day, and they do not have to work less, so that we have an explanation for both the top and the bottom. ”
————————
"Come in, come in, be honest, I've got all my clothes and pants off."
Xue Taisui and others were led into a stone house in the northwest of Shushan, and the two leaders looked quite similar, one fat and one thin.
The thin man wears a gorgeous edelweiss flower on his sideburns, and the fat man has a black mole on his chin with a conspicuous black hair on it. That's the only difference between the two.
The Taoist priest who took the lead turned around and said with a smile: "Master Long, Master Tiger, this time the prisoners were brought here, and we went back to our lives." ”
The thin man was burping, the table was messy, wine bowls, roasted chicken legs, and a few dishes that he hadn't finished were everywhere.
The fat man yawned: "You thieves who owe beatings the army, you must know the rules when you arrive at this quarry, otherwise Lao Tzu will make you have no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth." ”
The fat man pointed at the thin man with his hand: "This is my eldest brother Xing Rulong, I am his brother Xing Ruhu, the two of us are known as the two immortals of dragon and tiger on Shu Mountain, and we are in charge of this quarry." Do you and the other six know about personnel? ”
Xue Taisui has been in the army for a long time, and he knows that this person is asking for bribes, but he has nothing left on him, and he has been taken by the escort Taoist. Unexpectedly, the other five people took out the crumpled silver tickets from their shoes and socks and presented them: "Two masters, we will honor you both." ”
Xing Ruhu twisted the black hair on the side of his mouth: "Yes, he has a good eye, and he is innocent of breaking the law if he wants to come to the mountain, and the old people on the mountain will definitely find out the truth and return to his free body." ”
The other five people nodded and bowed: "Xie Longhu and two masters, I wish you good luck, cultivation and diligence, and all your wishes come true, what is that..."
Xing Ruhu glared at him, "Fuck off, I've wasted my time here." ”
As if the amnesty was granted, the five of them hurried out of the stone house and mined stones.
Xing Rulong coughed at this time, and said to Xue Taisui with a sharp voice: "Thieves and soldiers, what about your people?" ”
Xue Taisui hugged his fists: "The two uncles of Dragon and Tiger, my family has a lot of savings, but it was looted by the escorted Taoist priest along the way just now, and when I go out, I will definitely repay it twice." ”
"What? Double the reward? You are a thief with an army, you look fierce and vicious, you are not a good person at first glance, and you dare to slander my Shushan disciples for looting your silver taels, you are really a thief. Xing Ruhu roared on the side.
Xing Rulong said with a wicked smile: "Okay, there is no personnel and no personnel, this hero is strong and does not lose, I want to know that this hundred kills will always be beaten." ”
Xue Taisui's heart sank, and his eyes suddenly darkened, and a stinking broken sack instantly covered his head.
Xing Ruhu picked up a two-color water and fire stick from the gatehouse, and hit Xue Taisui with no head and no brain.
Originally, Xue Taisui stood upright, and after fifty sticks, he couldn't help but gradually lose his strength, half knelt down, and finally twenty sticks, simply lying on the ground, letting that Xing Ruhu do it.
Xing Ruhu finished beating a hundred sticks, and he was so tired that he was panting: "Damn, I haven't been active for a long time, and my physical strength is so weak." The thief looked tall, and originally thought he was a tough man, fifty sticks passed, this is not also cowardly, cut, phew. ”
Xue Taisui's beaten skin was open, and the blood was like an infusion. But there is a famous hall here, if the prisoner is not allowed to get out alive, then this water and fire stick will go down, the skin will not hurt at all, but the inside will be secretly injured, the seven tendons and eight veins will be broken, the five internal organs and five labor and seven injuries, and you will definitely die within three days. If the prisoner is to continue to work, then the skin and flesh of the prisoner will be opened, and the flesh will appear to be seriously injured, but in fact, the plaster will be applied to it, and it will be the same as when he came in three days.
In the middle of the night, Xue Taisui woke up slowly, the pain of the skin and flesh around his body seemed to be burning, and an old voice next to him said: "Young man, don't turn over, the old man's hydrangea is not easy to come by, you should be patient." ”
Xue Taisui opened his eyes and saw an old man in gray who was applying ointment to himself. His hands and feet moved slightly, but he felt that he was heavy and couldn't break free.
The gray-clothed old man sighed: "The newcomer will always suffer for a few days, this is the tendon of the dragon in Shu, called the trapped dragon tendon, there is the resentment condensation of the dragon before his death, and when you cultivate to the realm of foundation building, this chain will fall off by itself." ”
Xue Taisui struggled to sit up and hugged his fist to the old man: "Dare to ask who the old man is?" ”
The gray-clothed old man smiled bitterly: "I am a disciple of Shushan, I was imprisoned here for violating the rules of the door, I know a little about medicine, and my name is called Grass Man, and everyone calls me Cao Lao'er. ”
Xue Taisui was tired all the way, and he was injured all the way, and he fell asleep in a daze.
For a while, he dreamed that he was not dead during the day, and the undead were looking for him to be unlucky; After a while, I dreamed that Li Chongxin and Hou Wanjing faced each other with guns and swords, fighting for life and death; Tossing and turning, always can't sleep steadily, when the sky is bright, it seems to wake up but not awake, suddenly feel a pain in the body, Xing Ruhu scolds with a big stick in his mouth: "The thief is with the army, come to Lao Tzu to enjoy the blessings?" Who told you to hold up the corpse, hurry up and go to the quarry to quarry, damn it, you pigs. ”
Xue Taisui had to drag his heavy steps, and the trapped dragon tendons between his feet tightened, and he almost fell to the ground again. Xing Ruhu set a foot on his lower back, "Hurry up, there is a lot of and urine on the lazy donkey." ”
The sun was hot outside, Xue Taisui looked up, and there were many prisoners of all ages standing outside, all wearing linen pieces to cover their lower bodies, and they looked at it with a blank look.
Xing Ruhu shouted loudly: "Listen to the prisoners, the old rule, mine 100 catties of bluestone every day before you can rest, if you encounter such a strange color, turn it in quickly, but if there is a private hiding, hehe, you are just stuffed into your eyes, I will still take out your large intestines, go to work." ”
Xing Ruhu took out a red stone, shook it around everyone, and then disappeared.
A thin Taoist priest, with a cow's heart bent on his head and a pair of eyes gurgling, suddenly shouted: "Everyone, we are all naked, this new big man is still wearing clothes, quickly strip him naked." ”
Everyone next to him echoed: "Yes, yes, pretend to be Sven, when you get here, you just work bare-footed, pick him up, pick him up." ”
The cloth was torn off in a few clicks, Xue Taisui was indifferent, bare-chested, picked up a shovel, and went to quarry.
There was a burst of green smoke in the Shushan Palace, and Shangguan Feng, the master of the Discipline Hall, bowed closely: "The head of Qiqi, Li Chongxin has replied, there is indeed a righteous son named Xue Taisui, who was sent to the loess slope half a month ago to explore the water source, and the waist card is correct, and declares that he is guilty of taking dirty, acquitted, and detaining the imperial court officer, which is not a common law, and it is not a common law for me to fight with the Northern Barbarians, and it is the time to use people before the two armies, you see this matter....."
Wei Lingfeng shook his head slowly: "Governor Li, you can't afford to offend, so Prime Minister Zhao will be offended?" If we don't let people go, we can wait and see, and if we release people, we will definitely offend someone. Besides, who knows if he, Li Chongxin, can win against the Northern Barbarians, wait and see. ”
Shangguan Feng bowed and saluted, and clasped his palms together: "Obey the decree of senior brother." ”
