Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Mysterious Death
Emei back mountain.
The ancient trees are towering and full of greenery, except for the slightly heavier humidity and mosquito bites, it can also be regarded as a scenic spot.
This place is listed as a forbidden place by the Emei faction, but there is nothing surprising in fact, the scenery of the primeval jungle is also very common in ancient times, but every time you walk a road, you can see a towering tomb, but it makes this primeval mountain forest, it looks a little gloomy.
"The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and today's disciples are by no means intentionally colliding, but they are forced by the situation, so they have to bring outsiders in as a last resort, and ask the ancestors to learn from them."
"You must be careful when walking, the weapons are long and put away, don't accidentally bump into the tomb of the ancestors of our sect."
The Emei sect members, every time they go to a grave, they have to kowtow and pray, and at the same time they tell people of all factions over and over again.
Although he didn't get tired of it, no one blamed anything, at most he complained twice, after all, the dead were great, and some people believed in ghosts and gods, and they also prayed with the Emei sect to make amends.
In this way, the speed is naturally not fast.
And the back mountain is extremely wide, everyone only saw Dugu and a crane escape into the back mountain, but no one saw the specific place in the back mountain, so they could only rely on a large number of people to search aimlessly.
"Look at that." Looking for it, one of them suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted.
Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction.
In the distance, wisps of black smoke came out.
"Why is Xiaoxiao who dares to set fire to my Emei forbidden place? Look for death! An Emei Sect elder roared angrily and rushed towards the black smoke.
The rest of the Emei disciples also rushed over angrily.
On the contrary, the people of various factions who said that they would lead the overseer were left in place.
"Ahem, let's go over too." Shi Yandao, who had the best relationship with the Emei faction, was the first to speak.
Everyone has nothing to do.
Today is destined to be the bleakest day for the Emei faction.
Everyone came to the place where the black smoke came out, and before they could ask if the arsonist had caught it, they were completely stunned by the scene in front of them.
In front of me, a solemn tomb stands tall, the tombstone has long been erected, but it has not yet been engraved, there is no tribute in front of the tombstone, and the tomb door is not closed, indicating that this is a tomb that has been repaired but has not yet been put into use.
All the Emei disciples knelt in front of this tomb, spontaneously besieged the city, bowed their heads and cried, and the miserable sobbing and whimpering sound echoed throughout the mountains and forests, scaring away countless birds and beasts.
In the circle, the leader of the elder Emei, like a bullied child, sat on the ground without an image, holding a charred and charred corpse in his arms, wailing and crying.
"Woo...... Senior brother in charge, you died so miserably? Whining...... Oh my God, you're so unfair! Woohoo......"
"Who?"
"Who is the one who died?"
"A lonely crane?!"
The crowd was shocked.
Shi Yan Daoren, Master Kuzhi, Hua Ruling and others all rushed to the elder quickly, pointed to the charred corpse in his arms, which was no longer human-shaped, and asked questions.
"It's ...... Dugu in charge? ”
"Are you sure you're right?"
"His grandmother's, a big living person who was good before, will die now? Tease me, me. ”
"Dugu's martial arts are world-famous, there are few opponents in the world, how can he die inexplicably like this?"
"This is my senior brother." Elder Emei's voice choked and he cried out loudly.
Everyone looked at each other, still a little incredulous.
Even if Dugu Yihe escaped halfway through the ring before, no one thought that Dugu Yihe would die, otherwise, they would not have the leisure to wait in the martial arts arena, and then scolded each other, doubted Li Yang, and bargained to ask to enter the Emei forbidden land...... I have long ignored the three-seven-twenty-one and ran over.
If you had come a little earlier, you might have been able to catch the murderer.
But who is the murderer?
This murderer has the ability to kill Dugu Yihe, not to mention, he even has to burn the body in a frenzy, how much hatred and resentment is this?
Looking at the tragic state of Dugu Yihe's charred corpse, Shi Yan Daoren, Master Kuzhi and others couldn't help but grieve in their hearts, even if Hua Ruling, who didn't have a deep friendship with Dugu Yihe, etc., it was inevitable that they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts, after all, they were people who had known each other for decades, and there were also wise people who bowed their heads and pondered, and some people had silently aimed their suspicious eyes at Li Yang.
After all, Li Yang has a motive to kill here, and he also has a grudge against Dugu Yihe, he was still in the ring just now, showing martial arts that are only higher than Dugu Yihe, and Li Yang can't tell whether he is happy or sad at the moment...... All indications indicate that Li Yang is the most likely one.
It's a very simple truth, and it doesn't even need a reason, according to normal logic, anyone will doubt Li Yang.
More and more suspicious eyes focused on Li Yang.
"See what I'm doing? Do you have a long brain? Since Dugu Yihe ran away inexplicably, I have been with you all the time, how can I kill people? Doppelganger? Li Yang fought back mercilessly.
People who still doubt him at this time, why should they give them affection?
What's more, his alibi is so obvious, everyone present is a witness.
was suspected one after another, and it was this kind of brainless suspicion that ignored the evidence, Rao is Li Yang had a good temper, and he was a little angry.
But even so, there are still some suspicious eyes that stay on Li Yang and do not go for a long time, especially the people from Emeimen.
There is no way, the hostility of the Emei party towards Li Yang is not a day or two, and today with the death of Dugu Yihe, it has accumulated to a peak, if it were not for the lack of evidence, Li Yangqun would have been attacked a long time ago.
"Lu Xiaofeng, Sikong picks stars, how long do you have to stay in the tree?" Hua Manlou suddenly spoke.
Two figures fell from the trees in response, it was Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Xingxing.
"Well, I knew I couldn't hide from it." Lu Xiaofeng sighed.
"Whoever told you not to run, you still have to pull me and hide in a tree together like a thief." Sikong picked the stars and was angry.
"If you don't run, you're just like a thief, and if you run, you're like a murderer."
The stars are silent.
He is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, and naturally understands Lu Xiaofeng's worries.
If you're not a murderer, run for what?
Once they run away, it will only make people more suspicious, and the name of the murderer will be confirmed, after all, someone has already noticed them, and now Hua Manlou called the two of them down to make it clear, which is also kind, otherwise it will be difficult to explain afterwards.
In fact, they are now under suspicion.
The Emei disciples who knelt on the ground all got up at some point, surrounded Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Xingxing, and the elder had also gotten up, drew his sword and rushed to the two of them, questioning angrily.
"Say, did you kill my senior brother in charge?"
Sikong Xingxing immediately raised his hand to defend, "Don't wronged a good person, I steal things and am the best in the world, but I am really not good at killing, besides, I can't beat Dugu Yihe." ”
is also said that Sikong picks stars and is known in the world for stealing, disguise, and light skills, but these are all small ways, and I haven't heard how high his martial arts are.
"That's you?" The elder turned to question Lu Xiaofeng again.
Lu Xiaofeng saw that his emotions were out of control, such as a mad dog catching and biting whom, he didn't dare to hide it, and told the truth about what he saw and heard at the moment.
"Sikong Xingxing and I came a little earlier than you, but I just saw the scene of Dugu Yihe being burned by fire, and I wanted to save him, but the terrain was unfamiliar and I couldn't find a water source, and at that time, Dugu Yihe had already been burned to death......"
What is said is reasonable, and then corroborated by the traces at the scene, there is no discrepancy, Lu Xiaofeng's suspicion has been cleared for the most part, and it is impossible to completely clear it.
Unless the murderer is caught.
Following the King of the Golden Peng, Lu Xiaofeng felt that he was going to have trouble again.
As soon as he thought of this, Jin Jiuling's voice suddenly sounded on the side.
"Who is this tomb for?"
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to find that Jin Jiuling had no idea when, standing near the tomb, and was looking inside the tomb gate.
"This is the tomb of my senior brother." Elder Emei said in a low voice.
Die at your own grave......
Everyone looked at each other, only feeling that the death of Dugu Yihe was even more bizarre.
Elder Emei said to Jin Jiuling again: "Brother Jin is the first god in the world, no matter how tricky the case, it can be solved within nine days, today my senior brother died tragically, I have to ask Brother Jin to bother more, after the murderer is caught, Emei will have a good reward." ”
"It's serious, it's my duty to handle cases and arrest people."
In fact, there is no need for Elder Emei to say more, Jin Jiuling has a fast nature, and as soon as he arrives here, a pair of eyes have already begun to search for clues at the scene, and he really found one at the tomb door.
In fact, it was not he who discovered it, but the clue was revealed by itself.
"Come and see, everybody." Jin Jiuling hurriedly beckoned everyone to come over.
Everyone immediately gathered around Jin Jiuling, and their eyes looked at the tomb door together.
The tomb door is open, which is not unusual, after all, this tomb has not yet been put into use, and the anti-theft mechanism inside has not yet been built, so it is natural to open the tomb door and wait for the craftsman to build the mechanism, and the body will be closed after entering the coffin.
Jin Jiuling was now standing under the tomb door, looking up at the gap between the tomb door and the stone wall above his head, where a drop of red liquid slowly oozed out, drooping.
"That's?"
Everyone couldn't help but straighten their necks and get closer, wanting to see more clearly.
Jin Jiuling directly stretched out his fingers, wiped off the red liquid, handed it to his nose, sniffed it, and affirmed: "It's blood, human blood!" ”
"How can this tomb door bleed?"
"Or human blood?"
"Could it be...... Is the head of Dugu dying in vain, and the soul is haunted? ”
The strange scene made everyone's hearts furry and shudder.
"Can this tomb door be lowered?" Jin Jiuling asked.
"Of course, the mechanism is right next to it." Elder Emei replied, pointing to the stone wall on the left side of the tomb door.
There is a winch on the stone wall, without any disguise, after all, this is the mountain behind Emei's own house, and it is a tomb built for the head of his family, sacred and solemn, not those secret dark rooms that are not seen.
At this moment, there is a sword stuck in the winch, so that the winch cannot be rotated, and the tomb door naturally cannot be lowered.
Look at that sword again, isn't it the sword of Dugu Yihe's head.
The charred corpse of Dugu Yihe was so shocking and eye-catching that everyone didn't notice the lost sword until now.
Looking at the sword in front of them, the people of Emeimen couldn't help but recall the glorious years when the head of the sect held this sword in his hand.
And now with the death of Dugu Yihe, I am afraid that the Emei faction will no longer have this scenery in the future, and even the original prestige will be hit, and if it is serious, its status in the martial arts may not be guaranteed.
Thinking of this, Elder Emei stepped forward with a gloomy expression and withdrew the sword of the master.
Jin Jiuling stretched out his hand to turn the winch, and the tomb door fell "boom".
The polished surface of the tomb door is now full of scratches, and it is not difficult to see that it is a sword mark, compared with the sword of Dugu Yihe, it just matches, and these sword marks are stained with blood, and these bloody scratches are combined together, and they are two big characters:
--Li Yang!
