["They are two groups of people!" Xue Rong clapped his hands, "If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case. If those white-clothed people had the strength to destroy the sect, they would take her away when they were in Qianshan, instead of handing her over to Hua Lingyan. ”】
It didn't take long for someone to knock on the door again.
Chen Jian did not rush to open the door, but listened carefully, trying to guess the identity of the other party from the knock on the door.
The knock on the door was very calm, not Cai Gong, not Rose, Chen Jian felt that Rose was unlikely to come to him openly, and it was not the childish cry that he had just visited.
"It's coming. ”
Opening the door, Xue Rong was standing outside.
"Xue Rong Protector?"
I didn't expect it to be him.
Although Xue Rong's aura was much gentler than when they first met, his mean appearance still made Chen Jian feel unnatural.
"I wanted to talk to Chen Shaoxia about the old things just now, and I didn't want to disturb you when I saw that you were too tired. Xue Rong opened his mouth and said, "Can you enter the house for a while?"
"Please. Chen Jian looked outside by the way.
A lot of strange faces gathered not far away.
Most of them collected money to inquire about Chen Jian's information - this was what Chen Jian heard from Cai Gong later, but he probably guessed it.
"I'm here for the destruction of the Ancient Mirror Gate. Xue Rong didn't beat around the bush, "We in Wudang, including the entire martial arts, have not been able to find any clues about the murderer of the Gujingmen now, you are a survivor of that night, so I want to consult something." ”
"Do you suspect that I destroyed the Ancient Mirror Gate?" Chen Jian smiled.
"Don't dare, Shaoxia is a close confidant of the princess, how can he do such a hurtful thing. ”
"Okay," Chen Jian nodded, "You should know that I went to the Ancient Mirror Gate for treatment. On the night of the annihilation, my memories did not come back, and I was also incapable of using martial arts. ”
"Why does the young man say this?"
"To reassure you. ”
"I said, Shaoxia is a member of Gonglian's team, and we won't doubt you. ”
"That's good. ”
Chen Jian gradually grasped the right to speak, and the identity of the Gonglian team made the Wudang on the Weizhen side fearful.
"Since the Ancient Mirror Gate has been destroyed, I think it doesn't hurt to say this. ”
"What?"
"There is a secret passage in the Treasure Garden, which can leave Xie Lingyuan, and I escaped from the secret passage that night. ”
Xue Rong nodded.
When the people from the Trace Hall came back to report, they had already made the secret passage public, but the secret passage was buried under the collapsed mountain, and it was impossible to know which two places it connected, but they didn't expect the answer to come from Chen Jian's mouth.
"The corpses of the disciples of the Ancient Mirror Sect were burned that night, but we could barely identify their identities, among them, the head of the sect and the two Dharma protectors have been confirmed dead, but Liu Xingjue's whereabouts are unknown. ”
"How is this judged?"
Xue Rong felt strange at first, how could Chen Jian not even know about this kind of thing, but thinking that he had a precedent of amnesia, he explained: "Rong Xia Ke's chivalrous card cannot be burned by ordinary fire, even if it is burned, it can still retain its approximate appearance." There should be five Glory Hero cards in the Ancient Mirror Gate, but we only found four, combined with the clothes of the corpse and the relics carried, it is speculated that Liu Xing is never dead, at least not in Xie Lingyuan. ”
"I see. ”
Liu Xingjue's skills are average, not as good as ordinary Rong Xia Ke, why did he escape the catastrophe?
"Did the destroyers take him away?"
"That's what we're skeptical at the moment. Xue Rong pondered for a moment, "Liu Xing is definitely a well-known pharmacist, coupled with the many original refining recipes of the Ancient Mirror Sect, those people who took him away may have forced him to make some kind of potion. ”
"In order to take him away, destroy the entire Ancient Mirror Gate, it sounds like a big fuss, and it is very risky, this kind of action will attract everyone's attention. ”
Xue Rong shook his head: "This may be their purpose, or it may be a provocation." Those guys wiped out the door with great fanfare, and they did it everywhere, but they didn't leave any traces. ”
When he said this, Xue Rong's heart was complicated.
Trace Hall is one of the most prestigious branches of Wudang, in the early days of the establishment of the Daxi Dynasty, for the emperor to exterminate dissidents made great contributions, and now it took half a month to find the murderer, which made the entire Wudang fall into a malaise.
"I left traces, but I couldn't find the real murderer...... Chen Jian said cautiously, "Could the real murderer be a sect that everyone has never heard of?"
"How can a sect that can cultivate the combat power of destroying the door in one night, how can it not reveal a little rumor?"
Chen Jian frowned and pondered.
He also has great interest in the Gujingmen extinction incident. First of all, he was an eyewitness to the incident, and more importantly, someone wanted his life that night in the Rare Garden, and after he recovered his strength, he never felt the same murderous aura again.
Did the killer die in the fire, or did he quietly hide? Are he and the killer accomplices, or did they happen to bump into the wrong passerby by coincidence?
These questions piled up in Chen Jian's heart, coupled with Bian Li's matter, which made his head about to explode.
"There are still some people!" Chen Jian said suddenly, "You were also there at the time, those white-clothed people in Qianshan." ”
Of course, Xue Rong remembered that one of the men in white had injured him.
"They call themselves 'nobodies of the North' - what is the North?"
"The North is a land of exiles," Xue Rong explained, "and many people flee to the North to escape punishment, which is a gathering place for scum—and speaking of which, what about the girl who resembles the Thousand-Handed Poison Girl? She's not with you?"
"She's gone. Chen Jian said, "There is no need to involve an ordinary woman in disputes in the rivers and lakes. ”
"Then why were you with her at the time?"
Chen Jian had already thought of a set of words: "She was a foreigner who climbed the Qianshan by chance, and I wanted to take her down the mountain as a member of the Gonglian team, but she was hit on the head by the mountain god Jiao, and she lost her memory when she rolled down the mountain." ”
"I didn't expect that the players of Gong Lian's team would also be beaten by the mountain god Jiao. ”
Chen Jian ignored his teasing.
"Let's talk about the man in white, right? You must have reported this matter after you came back to Wudang, what did the others say?"
"The boss has sent a few cronies to the north to investigate, but there is no news yet. Do you think they're in league with the Gatedestroyer?"
"It's hard to say. Chen Jian analyzed, "Think about it carefully, why did they take that woman away from you in the first place?"
"I should be like me, I mistakenly think it's a thousand-handed poisonous woman. ”
"That's right, their target is the Thousand-Handed Poison Girl, but after the destruction of the door, I took her to escape from the Soul Solving Yuan without any hindrance. ”
"They are two groups of people!" Xue Rong applauded, "If you think about it, this is indeed the case. If those white-clothed people had the strength to destroy the sect, they would take her away when they were in Qianshan, instead of handing her over to Hua Lingyan. ”
"Right...... The white-clothed man from the north wanted a thousand-handed poisonous woman, while the exterminator took Liu Xingjue with him, and they had different purposes, but they gathered at the Ancient Mirror Gate by chance. ”
Although he sorted out the whole thing a lot, Chen Jian felt that it was getting more and more complicated.
"Let's go back to the men in white, there are more clues about them. Chen Jian's speed of speech became slower and slower, for fear of missing some details, "The man in white dared to snatch her from you, but he gave up taking her away because of Hua Lingyan's obstruction, which shows that they are afraid of the Ancient Mirror Gate, but they are not worried about the more powerful Wudang." Can you think of anyone like that?"
Xue Rong followed his train of thought closely and admired Chen Jian's methodical way of thinking. None of these conclusions have been made before.
"I want to think about ......"
"Actually, there is another possibility for this. Chen Jian didn't give him time to think deeply.
He was worried that he would suddenly forget, so he continued: "It was only expedient for the people in white to hand her over to Gu Jingmen, because there were many people at that time, and they were afraid of being outnumbered, so they handed her over. ”
"It is equivalent to temporarily storing it in the hands of the weaker Gu Jingmen so that it can be taken away in the future. ”
"That's right. ”
Xue Rong nodded again and again, agreeing with Chen Jian's speculation: "It's really refreshing to talk to you like this. I will tell the head and other Dharma protectors about these things, and they should have new ideas. ”
Chen Jian asked, "Ding Sheng and Hua Lingyan should still be alive, right?"
"They came to Wudang a few days ago, and then they went to Eagle Bird Valley. ”
"Eagle Bird Valley, do they think the destruction of the gate is the work of the Hundred Bitter Sect?"
"It seems so. ”
"Are there any disciples of the Ancient Mirror Sect here, who have deep qualifications. ”
Xue Rong didn't know much about the refugees of the Ancient Mirror Gate, and he told Chen Jian where the disciples of the Ancient Mirror Gate were placed so that he could go to them himself.
"What are you going to see them for?"
"Investigate the Destroyer. ”
Chen Jian is telling the truth, and at the same time, it also contains stratagem.
In this way, his actions would be perceived as investigating the destruction of the Ancient Mirror Gate, thus concealing the true purpose of the search for the phonograph urn.
"Since the Sect Destroyer took Liu Xingjue away, he must need him to refine the secret recipe of the Ancient Mirror Gate, and I plan to inquire. ”
"Okay, but don't expect too much. ”
"Why?"
"Those who survived were young people. ”
"I see. ”
