"Huh?"

This...... How is this possible?

According to Xia Wuren's analysis, shouldn't the mastermind behind the assassination of Zhang Xuefeng be Zhang Boxuan, the biggest "beneficiary"? Why was he assassinated himself?

I subconsciously glanced at Xia Wuren, but Xia Wuren looked at me with the same stunned expression, it was obvious that he was also confused now.

Before that, we had always suspected that Zhang Boxuan was the mastermind behind this matter, but now that Zhang Boxuan himself has been assassinated, it proves that this matter should have nothing to do with him.

But who else could it be?

Could it be that we really think too much, and this matter is actually led by the "Huidaomen"? From the very beginning, we got into a misconception and thought about the problem too complicated?

"Is the message confirmed?"

Like us, Zhang Tianshi also seemed to be surprised, and the first thing that came to mind was to determine the truth of this matter.

"It's true!"

The Taoist priest hurriedly nodded and said, "The news was sent back by Senior Brother Fu Yu personally, and the incident happened within Senior Brother Fu Yu's jurisdiction, and by the time Senior Brother Fu Yu received the distress message and brought people to arrive, it was already too late!" Now the corpses are still in the religious bureau, and it is expected that they will be transported back to Longhu Mountain in the evening! ”

"This ......"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tianshi's face suddenly became a little ugly, and he pondered for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "In this way, you take the two distinguished guests to the guest room to rest first, and I have to quickly get in touch with the Treasure Island Heavenly Master's Mansion!" ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand to me and Xia Wuren apologetically: "I'm really sorry, there was a sudden accident in the sect, Zhang went and went back, and asked the two of you to move to the guest room, take a break, and Zhang will come to visit the two of you later!" ”

"Zhang Tianshi is too polite, please take care of yourself, don't worry about us."

"Thank you!"

Nodding, Zhang Tianshi left here in a hurry, while Xia Wuren and I came directly to a guest room in Longhu Mountain under the leadership of the Taoist priest just now.

Because of Zhang Tianshi's instructions, the other party was very polite to us, not only serving us tea and water, but even preparing a lot of snacks for Xia Wuren.

"It's weird!"

Watching the Taoist priest walk away, Xia Wuren carefully arranged a soundproof magic circle in the guest room, and then said with a look of surprise: "Why is even Zhang Boxuan's kid dead?" With his death, the matter has become an unsolved case, who else will go to such great lengths to assassinate Zhang Xuesong? ”

"Huh-"

Shaking my head and smiling, I looked a little disapproving, pursed my lips, and then said: "Whatever, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us, as soon as this Zhang Boxuan dies, we seem to have one less potential enemy!" After all, compared to Zhang Boxuan, I still prefer Zhang Xuesong to be the heir of this Dragon and Tiger Mountain! ”

"That's right!"

Nodding, Xia Wuren couldn't help but say with a deep face: "Although Zhang Xuesong is young, he is quite moral, and he can have a deep friendship!" As for Zhang Boxuan, the city government is too heavy, and when dealing with people like him, if you are not careful, you are afraid that you will fall into his calculations. ”

After a few simple discussions, Xia Wuren removed the soundproof magic circle in the room.

After all, this place is Longhu Mountain, we are guests from afar, if we have been so careful, it will seem that we have some ulterior secrets. Anyway, I have already exposed the fact that I have cultivated the "Xiaoyan Sword Technique" just now, and there is nothing to hide, just wait for Zhang Tianshi to come back after finishing his work, and we can directly discuss the matter and start bargaining.

After last night's incident, I can be regarded as a great favor to Longhu Mountain, plus I saved that Xuesong's life before, if they embarrass me again, then it is really a little too much to say.

However, we waited for a full day, until sunset, and we didn't even see Zhang Tianshi again. If it weren't for the Dao Tong who brought us three meals a day on time, I almost thought that they had forgotten about me and Xia Wuren.

It wasn't until nightfall that someone remembered the two of us and came to the guest room to visit. But it was not Zhang Tianshi himself, but the eight elders of the Law Enforcement Hall who had seen before.

After entering the door, several elders were quite polite, and first saluted and thanked Xia Wuren and me one by one, and then greeted us inconsequentially.

I saw that the leader of the elder was about to stop talking, and I felt a little impatient, so I directly interrupted the greeting of the other elder, and then said to the elders: "A few elders have something to do, you might as well say it clearly, don't beat around the bush!" My time is very tight, and I don't think I can stay in Longhu Mountain for two days, there are some things, let's solve them as soon as possible, and I can go back as soon as possible! ”

"Good!"

Seeing that I was so happy, the elder at the head couldn't help but be happy, so he said to me: "Since Wang Shaoxia is so refreshing, then the old way will be straight to the point!" ”

As soon as his expression tightened, the expressions of the elders suddenly became a little serious, and then he said: "In the small pine forest before, I once saw Wang Shaoxia perform a magical sword technique, forgive me for my clumsiness, dare to ask Wang Shaoxia what he cast, but my Longhu Mountain's supreme mastery 'Xiaoyan Sword Technique'?" ”

Really! It's time to come, it's always coming!

Even though I knew they were going to bring it up, I was still a little nervous when they did.

In any case, this "Xiaoyan Sword Technique" has always been the supreme mastery of Longhu Mountain, even if I am kind to them, and at the same time, the other party is also very eager to need the upper half of the exercises in my hand, but if I bluntly propose to let them take half of the method in exchange, I will always be a little difficult to say.

"Not bad! It's that Xiao Yan Sword Technique! ”

Everyone understands people, and it is useless to hide or deny it at this time, so I simply nodded happily and admitted the matter.

"Uh-"

Seeing that I was so simple, the elders seemed to be stunned, probably, in their previous assumptions, I should have tried my best to deny this. They must have prepared a lot of rhetoric for this, and I admit it so readily that it caught them off guard.

However, in the end, it is the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall of Longhu Mountain, and several elders can be regarded as well-informed and know countless people. After a short period of distraction, he quickly reacted again, especially the old Taoist who was the leader, who was called a straightforward and direct and said to me: "In this case, please also ask Wang Shaoxia to read that both you and I are righteous sects, and return this first half of the Xiaoyan Sword Technique to us!" ”

"Uh, this ......"

The other party's sudden simplicity also caught me off guard, and I was still waiting to bargain with them, so you just spread your hands and asked me for it, is this really good?

"Huh-"

Seeing that I was speechless, Xia Wuren stood up at the right time, and while smiling slightly, he arched his hand to several elders in a matter-of-fact manner.

The elders had seen Xia Wuren's strength with their own eyes, but they didn't dare to be contemptuous at this time, and hurriedly hugged their fists in return.

Immediately, I heard Xia Wuren say: "Several elders, it's not right for you to say that!" ”

"It's true that this 'Xiaoyan Sword Technique' is the supreme mastery of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, but as far as I know, the method of this first half should belong to the Heavenly Master's Mansion on the treasure island! Even if it is to be returned, it should be returned to the Treasure Island Heavenly Master Mansion, how to calculate it, it shouldn't be the people of the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Law Enforcement Hall who come to ask us for it, right? ”

"Little friend's words are wrong!"

Shaking his head, the old Taoist at the head immediately took over the conversation, and said with a serious face: "As we all know, the Treasure Island Heavenly Master Mansion was originally split from my Dragon Tiger Mountain, regardless of the fact that we are currently discussing the merger. Even if there is no such thing, tracing the roots, I, Longhu Mountain, am also the real master of this 'Xiaoyan Sword Technique'! ”

"Going back to the roots?"

sneered, but Xia Wuren's eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of disdain and ridicule, and he shook his head, which was not without a teasing smile: "I don't read much, don't lie to me, a few elders." ”

"If you really want to trace the roots, when the Heavenly Master's Mansion left the treasure island, the leader of the team was Zhang Enpu, the sixty-third generation Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Dao! On the other hand, Longhu Mountain, which stayed on the mainland, tsk...... Are you sure you want to get back to my roots? ”

"You!"

Xia Wuren's words undoubtedly poked Longhu Mountain's sore feet, and it can even be said to be a slap in the face with strength!

Although Xia Wuren's words were not explicitly stated, the meaning was already quite clear! Then if you really trace the roots, I am afraid that today's Longhu Mountain is not as orthodox as the "Heavenly Master's Mansion" on the treasure island!

Back then, Zhang Enpu, the sixty-third generation of Heavenly Master Dao, followed Lao Jiang away to Treasure Island, but what he left behind was his grandson Zhang Jintao, who presided over the Taoist affairs of Longhu Mountain, which was the so-called 65th generation of Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain!

But according to the rules of the past dynasties of Longhu Mountain: inherit it by the eldest son of the lineage, pass on the son but not the younger brother, pass the younger brother not to the nephew, pass the nephew not to the uncle, pass the uncle not to the clan, and pass the clan to the outsider. This is indeed very unorthodox, and even unruly!

Until now, Zhang Tianshi's identity has actually been controversial, just a few years ago, the treasure island "Heavenly Master's Mansion" even publicly stated that he was the real inheritor of Heavenly Master Dao, denying the legal status of Zhang Tianshi in Longhu Mountain.

Therefore, the legitimacy of the inheritance has always been an indelible pain in Longhu Mountain, and this Xia Wuren openly talked about this history, which naturally made several elders angry.

Seeing the way they were spitting fire, I was really worried that they would go straight to the room and be about to go to the round. Xia Wuren stopped me directly with a sharp look, and then said to several elders with an unquestioning face: "If you want the first half of the Xiaoyan Sword Technique, you can take down the half of the method and change it!" ”

"Impossible!"

As soon as these words came out, several elders were undoubtedly even more angry, how could they let an outsider come to cultivate?

In their eyes, Xia Wuren's request was tantamount to a fool's dream, and there was absolutely no possibility of negotiation.

"You're trying to take advantage of the fire!"

glared at us fiercely, and the old man at the head suddenly showed a fierce light, and if he didn't agree with us, he was going to make a big move with us.

"Whatever you want!"

Shrugged his shoulders disappreciatively, Xia Wuren clearly looked like "if you don't see a rabbit, you won't scatter an eagle", and at the same time said to several elders with some disgust: "I advise you to please go back, this matter is not up to you at all, you might as well wait for Zhang Tianshi to come back!" ”

While laughing playfully, he couldn't help but glance out of the door with a deep face, listening to what he meant, could it be that Zhang Tianshi was eavesdropping outside the door?
