The woman standing beside the old man asked, "Village Chief, how do you know that he committed suicide?" ”

"The village chief and I were ready to work in the fields early in the morning, and when we passed by the entrance of the village, we saw Chai stabbing the dagger into the abdomen. It was a young man next to the woman who spoke, and the scene scared him and the village chief very much.

Huangfu Hongyi stepped forward and squatted next to the corpse, Chai Zheng's fatal wound was indeed a knife wound in the abdomen, looking at his gesture of holding the knife, he knew that he had stabbed the dagger into the abdomen and committed suicide.

Huangfu Hongyi pondered, why did Chai Zheng commit suicide? If he killed Pan Huiniang and felt guilty, he could have committed suicide in the imperial capital city to atone for his crimes, why did he have to come all the way to Baiyue City?

At this time, the two guards of the government came, and the onlookers gave way to them, and the official uniforms of these two people were printed with the word "Qing", they were from the Qinglong Sect, and the guards carried Chai Zheng's body into the carriage and drove towards the Qinglong Sect.

Huangfu Hongyi stood up and looked in the direction where the carriage was leaving, and he followed without hesitation.

……

Half an hour later, the carriage drove to the bottom of the Sorrowful Cliff on the outskirts of Baiyue City, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by lush woods on both sides of the mountain road, and the long slope in front of it is like a ladder leading to the cliff that rises from the ground.

The cliff in the distance is like a sharp sword, towering between the sea of clouds, and the top of the cliff is covered with clouds and mist, and the thick clouds and mist cover a large mansion on the edge of the cliff, which is daunting.

The carriage galloped down the hillside and drove towards the Blue Dragon Sect on the top of the cliff, and Huangfu Hongyi followed closely behind, and suddenly, a "rustling" sound came from the woods on both sides.

"Boom......"

Suddenly, thousands of sharp arrows like a torrential rain towards Huangfu Hongyi, at the last moment, Huangfu Hongyi rose into the air with lightning speed, his hands luck, internal force gathered, strong internal force like an invisible barrier lingering around him, the sharp arrow has not yet approached, it fell to the ground like touching a hard object.

After a tea time, Huangfu Hongyi passed through the sharp arrow array, and those hidden weapons hidden in the deep forest also stopped shooting arrows, but it was a pity that Huangfu Hongyi's Maxima had been shot into a sieve, and he fell to the ground bleeding all over.

"Good, good, good." Suddenly, there was a deep male voice from the empty mountain road, and before anyone heard it, the other party must have used the method of teleportation.

Huangfu Hongyi's sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, he jumped forward, and flew to the mansion on the edge of the cliff like a cloud.

On both sides of the front door of the mansion stood a statue of a stone dragon with teeth and claws, and the stone dragon opened its bloody mouth and swooped down, as if it wanted to devour the person in front of it. There is no plaque in front of the Blue Dragon Sect, and these two stone dragons are already the symbols of the Blue Dragon Sect.

A tall man with a cold face walked out of the Blue Dragon Sect, the man was about twenty-three years old, wearing a black gold cloud embroidered shirt, his knife-like face was handsome and resolute, and his deep facial features looked mature and steady.

The man stood in front of the door, as if waiting for Huangfu Hongyi, the man's voice was low and elegant, and he arched his hand and said: "King Duanxian, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Huangfu Hongyi raised his eyes slightly to meet his four eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and said: "Nangong Sect Master's sharp arrow array really deserves its reputation, and even the Protector Mountain Villa has never had such an unbreakable defense. ”

Hearing Huangfu Hongyi's praise, Nangong Mo couldn't help but laugh, and said with a smile: "King Duanxian has praised it, our Qinglong Sect is located on the cliff with a broken arm, and it is surrounded by trees, it is inevitable that there will be jackals, tigers and leopards who want to break in, and it is just a rainy day." ”

Nangong Mo turned his phone around, and said: "King Duanxian can rest assured, he will compensate you a thousand-mile horse in the next meeting, and the horse that was pierced through the heart by a sharp arrow will order his subordinates to bury its corpse alive." ”

Huangfu Hongyi nodded, he and Nangong Modi have known each other for five years, and now they haven't seen each other for two years, and when they meet again, the memories of many years ago can't help but come to mind.

When Huangfu Hongyi was young, he was praised as the first sword of the Celestial Empire by martial arts people, and his Yin Yang Dragon Slashing Knife Technique was unmatched in the Celestial Empire.

Five years ago, Nangong Mo Wu practiced the Qinglong Sword Technique for a year, he thought that his sword technique had been boiled, and he was young and frivolous, and he issued a war letter to the Protector Mountain Villa, trying to challenge the first sword of the Heavenly Empire.

At that time, Huangfu Hongyi responded to the battle happily, and Nangong Mo Wu came to a sword king competition next to Tailing Lake in the imperial capital, this knife competition caused an uproar in the martial arts, and many people from the rivers and lakes came to watch the competition, but I didn't expect that the competition was divided in less than an hour, and the eighteen-year-old Nangong Mo Wu was defeated by the fifteen-year-old Huangfu Hongyi.

Since then, Huangfu Hongyi is still the first sword of the Celestial Empire, and Nangong Mo Wu is also willingly called the second sword of the Celestial Empire.

Retracting the memories of his youth, Huangfu Hongyi returned to the truth and said straight to the point: "This king came to the Qinglong Sect to examine Chai Zheng's corpse. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Nangong Mo Wu's eyes, and then he let go and made a gesture of "please": "King Duanxian, please come in." ”

Huangfu Hongyi stepped into the Qinglong Sect, a lot of green plants and flowers were planted in the Qinglong Sect, and there were thousands of people practicing martial arts in the training ground next to it, and the loud and loud sound resounded throughout the Qinglong Sect.

Nangong Mo was not polite, but directly took Huangfu Hongyi to the morgue of the Qinglong Sect.

The morgue was cold, although it was a morgue, but there was no peculiar smell here, but a faint smell of pollen.

Chai Zheng's body had been stripped of his clothes and laid naked on the large bed in the morgue, and the dagger in his abdomen had not been pulled out.

Chai Zheng had many old wounds on his body, including knife wounds, sword wounds and whip wounds, and shocking scars like centipedes were scattered all over his body, which was unbearable to see.

Nangong Mo Wu waved his hand and cleared the other guards in the morgue, and in an instant, there were only two people in the entire morgue called him and Huangfu Hongyi.

Nangong Mowu: "Chai Zheng has a lot of scars on his body, presumably he is also a martial arts person who fights with people on the rivers and lakes all year round. ”

Huangfu Hongyi frowned slightly and asked, "Nangong Sect Master, do you know Chai Zheng's identity?" ”

Nangong Mo was silent for a moment, and after a while, he raised his eyebrows and said: "According to my inference, Chai Zheng should be a killer, and there is a huge sect behind him, as for what sect it is, I don't dare to make a decision in the future." ”

Huangfu Hongyi walked around Chai Zheng's corpse, except for the wound on the waist and abdomen, there were no new injuries on the corpse, it seems that Chai Zheng did commit suicide, but in him, I am afraid there are many unknown secrets.

"Chai Zheng has an old friend in the imperial capital, the woman's name is Pan Huiniang, Pan Huiniang has been doing life trading all year round, a few days ago, she was strangled to death and disguised herself as a hanged suicide, but Pan Huiniang did not commit suicide, but he killed, this king suspects that Chai is the murderer, how do you know that today when you came to Lotus Town, you found that he committed suicide in Lotus Village."

Huangfu Hongyi looked at Nangong Mo Wu, looked at his expressionless and cold face, and asked, "What is the matter with the sect you said just now?" ”

Nangong Mo Wu sighed lightly and told Huangfu Hongyi everything he knew truthfully, "In Hedong Village in Baiyue City, there are groups of beggars, and most of them live by begging because they are stupid. Half a year ago, there was a crazy beggar who ran and shouted in Lotus Town, saying that there were man-eating monsters in Lotus Town, and before he could run out of Lotus Town, he had already bled to death and died violently, and his death was terrifying. ”

"Originally, no one believed what a crazy beggar said, until three months ago, our Qinglong Sect found that there were fewer and fewer beggars in Dongcheng District, and then we realized that something was wrong, so I let my henchmen pretend to be beggars and blend into Hedong Village, and the result was ......"

Nangong Mo stopped without saying anything, his originally expressionless face was covered with a layer of grief and anger, he closed his eyes, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued: "As a result, my henchman was taken to an unknown place, he escaped at a critical moment and saved his life, but the person went crazy. ”

Nangong Mo Wu's voice was full of helplessness and regret, he sighed and said, "King Duanxian come with me." ”

Huangfu Hongyi followed Nangong Mo Wu to a room outside the morgue, and before he could get close to the house, he heard a terrible scream from inside.

"Let go of me! Let me go! Get out of here! Get out of here! Black Wind Cult ...... It's all a bunch of ghosts! ”

"Squeak-" The door opened, and out of the room came two guards, both with empty medicine bowls in their hands.

When the two of them saw Nangong Mo Wu, they bowed their heads and saluted: "I've seen the sect leader." ”

Nangong Mo nodded slightly and asked, "How is Ah Shi?" ”

One of the guards said, "Ah Shi's sanity is better than yesterday, and he won't bite people indiscriminately when feeding medicine." ”

After Nangong Mo Wu heard this, his originally tense face eased a little, as long as Ah Shi could drink the medicine honestly, he would be relieved.

"Go down first."

"Yes!"

After the two guards left, Nangong Mo Wu led Huangfu Hongyi into the house, this room was clean and tidy, as if it was cleaned up every day, and the room was filled with a strong smell of herbs, a little choking.

On the big bed in the room lay a scrawny, pale man, whose limbs were tied to the bed frame with thick ropes, staring at the roof with empty eyes, and his eyes did not move.

Nangong Mo Wu walked to the side of the bed and called softly: "Ah Shi? ”

Ah Shi on the bed heard someone calling him, and immediately shouted loudly again: "Ah! Get lost...... Get out! You monsters of the Black Wind Cult! Get out! Get out! ”

Ah Shi twisted his body excitedly, helplessly tied to the bed, unable to struggle, the only thing that remained unchanged was his pair of eyes, still staring straight at the roof, his eyes full of fear.

Nangong Mo looked at his former brilliant henchman, but now he has become this appearance of not being a human being, a ghost or a ghost, and he blames himself in addition to guilt.
