Chapter 548, Pan Zimo
Qi Hufei's first reaction was that Pan Zimo was coming.
But thinking about it, I don't think it's right, even if Pan Zimo finds something through Dongyue, he should use Dongyue as a bait to lure the real murderer to take the bait, instead of killing them all like this, and even the pomegranate trees on the shore of Acacia Lake have been turned up.
And how could Pan Zimo know that Dongyue's real body was a pomegranate tree?
Looking at the pits on the ground, they don't look like they were dug out by magic weapons.
If it was Pan Zimo's hand, he only needed to cut off the roots of the tree with a flying sword, kill the aura, or use a spell to wither the tree, and mortals would only seem to think that these trees had been infested by pests and diseases and died suddenly, instead of looking shocking and obviously man-made like now.
He walked along the remnants of the roots, and saw an excavator by the lake in front of him, with two trees lying down beside it.
It seems that this is not the hand of a practitioner, but more like the government is engaged in greening construction and transplanting trees.
However, Acacia Lake is a cultural heritage, and the pomegranate trees around the lake are thousands of years old and protected, so how can they be eradicated all at once? What government would give such a confused order? And doesn't Dongyue have a trace of resistance? With her cultivation, it is easy to perform miracles and scare these mortals.
Qi Hufei immediately called Lin Linshan: "Find out why those pomegranate trees on the shore of Acacia Lake have been eradicated, which unit did it, who gave the order, and where were those trees moved?" ”
Lin Linshan didn't understand why Qi Feifei cared about the life and death of a few trees, and said, "Boss, it's night here, and the people in the government unit are off work, why don't you check again tomorrow?" ”
"No, I have to check it now, I need to know the result before the time. If you can't find it, let me know too, and I'll find another way. Qi Hufei said.
Lin Linshan had never heard Qi Hufei's order so severely, and he couldn't tolerate any doubts, so he said, "Okay boss, I'll check it out right away." ”
Qi Hu Fei is not embarrassed by Lin Linshan. Dongyue's life and death are uncertain, whether this matter is related to himself, he hopes to get the news from his own people as soon as possible, not through the Chenghuang Division and the Duanmu family.
After walking around the shore of Acacia Lake, in the middle of the night, he returned to Xueqin Building and floated onto the terrace on the third floor.
At this time, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a moon in the sky, the semicircle is not round, there are clouds under the moon like a thin veil, half covered, the stars are dim, and the autumn wind is bleak.
Qi Hufei stood on the terrace, not knowing for a while.
It was here that he drank the Roselle tea brewed by Dongyue himself for the first time, and enjoyed Dongyue's graceful dancing here. He remembered that day, it was raining, and Dongyue used his natal weapon to prop up a piece of Biluo umbrella shade with green leaves.
He walked slowly forward to the small door. Inside the door is Fuyutsuki's room. He hoped to open the door and see the smiling face of the winter moon. But he also knew that it was impossible, and as far as his mind could see, there was not a trace of life in the whole building.
I don't know why, Qi Feifei's heart was a little flustered.
He gently pushed the door open and stepped inside. It was pitch black in the room.
In the middle of the room is a coffee table, on which is placed a set of Ru porcelain tea sets, one lamp and two cups. There is a charcoal stove next to the coffee table, and an iron kettle is placed on the stove.
This is the utensils for making tea in Dongyue, which she usually keeps in her storage space, but now she is lying quietly in the house, but their owners don't know where they have gone.
Qi Hufei remembered very well that when he first came, Dongyue used this set of tea for the Ru porcelain tea set to make for him and Duanmuwei, which was three cups in one lamp at the time, but now it is one cup or two cups on the table.
There seemed to be something special in this, he seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand.
He gently stroked the edge of the coffee table, feeling the special wooden texture, as if touching a person's skin.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a voice in the darkness:
"If I'm not mistaken, the owner of this place should be a woman."
Qi Hufei turned around suddenly, and saw a person sitting on a futon in a dark corner.
He was startled.
This person should not have just come in, and was obviously in the room for a long time. But he didn't notice him just now, and when his divine sense swept over, the entire building was lifeless, and he thought it was empty, which showed that this person's cultivation was far above his own.
"Who are you?" Qi Jufei asked.
"Who are you?" The man asked rhetorically.
Qi Hufei said: "What do you want to break into the woman's boudoir without the permission of others?" ”
The man said, "Aren't you the same?" ”
Qi Hufei said: "I am a friend of the master here. ”
The man said, "You can see, you have a lot to do with her." In that case, I can't wait for her, and the same is true for you. ”
"Are you waiting for her?" Qi Feifei wasn't sure if this person's words were true or false, and what his real purpose was.
"Not bad. I've been waiting here for two days now. Said the man in the dark.
"Two days?"
Qi Hufei's mind was racing, could it be that Dongyue had been missing for more than two days? It was exactly the time he went to the Flaming Mountain. What's really going on here?
"What are you looking for her?" He asked.
"My brother is missing, he used to be here before he died, so I'm here to ask. Unfortunately, the owner of this place also seems to be missing. Do you know where she went? ”
Qi Hufei had vaguely guessed the identity of this person before, but when it was confirmed that he was Pan Zimo at this moment, he was still a little surprised in his heart. He was on full alert, staring at Pan Zimo in the corner.
Pan Zimo sat on the futon, calm and relaxed.
Qi Hufei had to admit that this person was indeed a master, and his cultivation was much more advanced than himself. He didn't use any special stealth spells, just sat like that, restrained his divine energy, and was able to merge with his surroundings and avoid the detection of his divine sense. This is the realm of the unity of heaven and man!
In the face of such a master, Qi Hufei did not dare to relax in the slightest. His divine sense had already locked onto the Tencel Dace Carp Armor in his left hand, and his right hand was gripping the hilt of the Night Practice's sword. He didn't hold the Chengying Sword, because he felt that in this dark night, the power of the night training sword might be a little greater, and the Chengying Sword could use its invisible sword qi to perform a surprise attack at a critical moment.
Of course, he didn't think he could hurt the other party, so he was more prepared to run away at any time, and the spell that the hidden dragon didn't use was already pressed in his throat and could pop out at any time.
"You seem nervous." Pan Zimo said, "Could it be that my junior brother's disappearance has something to do with you?" ”
"Who is your junior brother? Who are you? Qi Jufei asked deliberately.
"My name is Pan Zimo, and my junior brother's name is Fu Hongsheng."
Pan Zimo did not hide it, and said it frankly. This also revealed his self-confidence, which could be seen from his tone and eyes, he thought that Qi Hufei would not be able to run away at all. In the face of absolute strength difference, any trick is superfluous.
"It turned out to be the Seven Masters of Miyun!" Qi Hufei avoided Fu Hongsheng's topic, and said to him left and right, "The head of the Seven Masters of Miyun actually broke into a woman's boudoir, isn't he afraid of people's jokes when he says it?" ”
Pan Zimo was indifferent to his radical words, without a trace of fluctuation in his aura, and only asked calmly: "Where did the Winter Moon girl go here?" ”
Qi Feifei said, "How do I know? I'm here for her, too. ”
Pan Zimo asked: "I see that you have a lot of relationship with her, how can you not know where she is?" ”
Qi Hufei said: "I still want to ask you!" I suspect she's been killed, you're sneaking here, did you do it? ”
Pan Zimo said: "I never sneak in when I kill, and I don't kill innocent people. I'm just here to investigate the truth about my brother's disappearance, and if it has nothing to do with Miss Winter Moon, I naturally won't hurt him. ”
Qi Jufei sneered: "That's a good thing, if you are really so upright, what are you doing hiding in the corner?" ”
Pan Zimo said: "If you don't worry, we can go outside on the terrace to talk." ”
Qi Hufei wanted exactly this sentence. What he was worried about was that in the small room, once the other party attacked, even if he was invisible, as long as he blocked it with mana, he would easily be sealed in the house and unable to escape. Once you're on the terrace outside, it's much easier to escape.
"Okay, then let's go out on the terrace and say something bright."
After that, Qi Hufei hurriedly went out to the terrace, and when he turned around, he found that Pan Zimo had already followed, standing behind him, less than three meters away from him.
Damn, Qi Hufei scolded in his heart, this guy is like a ghost, elusive, and it's really not easy to get rid of.
However, if Fuyutsuki disappeared not because of him, then for what? And who uprooted the trees by the lake?
"Ask whatever you want." He said.
Pan Zimo said: "My junior brother came to Xueqin Tower some time ago, and praised the owner here, Miss Dongyue, as the most beautiful in the world. Since then, the Xueqin Building has been closed. Later, my brother disappeared, and Xueqin House opened again. I wonder why this is? ”
Qi Feifei felt that he had to be careful when lying in front of this person, this kind of master was the most conceited, and he felt good about himself, if you lied to him and were detected by him, he might anger him. Instead of lying, it is better to tell the truth selectively and guide the other party to think from a different perspective.
He pondered for a while and said: "Your junior brother Fu Hongsheng I know that he is not a good person, he is sanctimonious on the surface, he is a traitor behind his back, and he wants to take advantage of a beautiful woman when he sees it, and this Dongyue girl in Xueqin Building is also harassed by him because she is good-looking, so she closed the door." But people are in business, do you know how much the rent of this house costs a year, and how much money does it cost to close up for a day with so many people under your hands? Do you pay? Just because of that bastard of your junior brother, you won't let your house open? As soon as they opened, you said that your junior brother disappeared because of him. But now the doors are closed again, and the people are gone, and I said that they disappeared because of you! ”
Of course, Qi Hufei is taking a risk when he speaks like this, and this is also because he has a magic weapon and stealth skills in his holes, otherwise he would never dare to take such a risk.
Pan Zimo frowned and said, "I know very well what kind of person my junior brother is, so I don't need you to talk about it. I just came to investigate, and I didn't say who was the murderer. ”
Qi Hufei said: "I can see that you are stronger than your junior brother, at least much more righteous than him." Okay, I'm done, I've already helped you prove that your brother's disappearance has nothing to do with Miss Winter Moon, and I also believe that Miss Winter Moon's disappearance has nothing to do with you, so let's disperse. ”
He turned around and was about to leave.
Suddenly, Pan Zimo asked, "What's your name?" ”
Qi Hufei knew that this question had to be answered, and if he didn't say anything back, then Pan Zimo would definitely catch up. Although he can escape by stealth, it will be troublesome to be recognized as a murderer from then on.
He decided to tell the truth and turned around and said, "My name is Qi Hufei." ”
"Qi Hu Fei ......" Pan Zimo laughed, "It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there." It turns out that you are Qi Hufei, and the first person I came to find was you, but you weren't there a few days ago, and I thought you were hiding. I didn't expect you to send it to the door yourself. You already know who I am, why do you have to reveal your identity, aren't you afraid that I will kill you? ”
Qi Hufei said: "Why should I hide? I didn't kidnap your wife, I didn't bully your sister, why should I be afraid of you? Why did you kill me? You don't want to blame me for your brother's disappearance, do you? ”
Pan Zimo said: "The last thing my junior brother did before he disappeared was to kill you, but now that you are alive, he is gone. You say this has nothing to do with you? ”
Qi Hufei said, "He wants to kill me? That means he's a murderer! Hey, are you mistaken? Your brother wants to kill me, I am the victim, although I am not dead, how can he also be an attempted murder, right? I am a civil servant of the City God Division, and according to the laws of the Heavenly Court, he attempted to murder a public servant, so he must be sentenced to life. Now that the victim is standing in front of you, you don't condemn the murderer, but instead say that I, the victim, caused the murderer's disappearance, and then want to kill me, are you Miyun Sect all so unreasonable? ”
"Clever words!" Pan Zimo said, "Now that you are alive, my junior brother is missing, it is a fact." ”
"Then you can't say I killed him, can you?" Qi Hufei said.
Pan Zimo looked at him and said, "With your strength, you really can't kill him." I'll investigate this matter, anyway, until my junior brother doesn't find it, or the real murderer is not found, you are the most suspicious. But even if you're not the murderer, I'm going to kill you. ”
"Why?"
"Have you forgotten what happened in Si'anli? Did you kill Zhao Chun? Did you kill the Ninth Master? ”
"What do they have to do with you?" Qi Feifei pretended not to know and asked.
Pan Zimo said: "You don't have to worry about what they have to do with me. I only ask you, did you kill Zhao Chun and Jiu Ye? ”
Pan Zimo said this, but Qi Hufei was not too worried.
The Ninth Master is now characterized as a demon by Heavenly Court, and has become a typical demon path, and the Miyun Sect will never admit that the Ninth Master is an insider of the sect.
If Pan Zimo is determined to kill Qi Hufei, there is no need to keep it secret at this time. Either don't say a word, come up and do it. Either make things clear and let the opponent die clearly. He avoided talking about it and didn't do it directly, which shows that his murderous intent is not serious.
Qi Hufei said: "I don't know what your relationship is with them, you can avenge them, but I have to make my words clear." I'm afraid you don't know what Jiu Ye did, let me tell you, he raised demon mosquitoes in Si'an, took advantage of a large number of poor people gathered in the slums, sucked human blood, and killed many people over the years! Now more than 200,000 people in Si'anli are homeless, and the government is mobilizing the whole city to carry out demolition and resettlement, which is all thanks to the ninth master. Heavenly Court has already issued a notice, he is the big devil, this time he was jointly strangled by the City God Division and many immortal masters in Nalan City of the Immortal Shield Bureau, I don't dare to take credit. As for Zhao Chun, he insisted on killing me, and I killed him in legitimate defense. Do you know what justifiable defense is? ”
Pan Zimo said: "Even if they are not in every way, it is a fact that you killed them. If you have any last words, say it quickly, see that you are still sincere in your words, and you don't have the intention of killing people for money and killing people, I can promise not to hurt your soul and let you go to reincarnation, what are your unfulfilled wishes, depending on my mood, I may be able to help you do it. ”
When Qi Hufei heard this, he felt that this Pan Zimo was indeed okay, and it was completely different from Fu Hongsheng Tulaweng and others, and he was not the same kind of person. But this did not change his opinion of the Miyun Sect, and it was no accident that there were so many scum such as Fu Hongsheng, Tulaon and Jiuye in a sect. On the contrary, Pan Zimo may be an outlier among them.
He decided to take a risk, and said, "I see that you are also a fair and honest person, otherwise how about we make a bet and make an agreement?" ”
