Chapter Seventy-Nine: Execution
Following.
When the first rays of sunlight passed through the sea of clouds and shone on Su Moyu's face, he finally woke up after being in a coma all night.
Raising his eyes, there is the tall Xuanxin Palace.
He tried to move, but found that his hands and feet were firmly chained, and he couldn't move at all.
He glanced down and saw that he was locked to a tall stone pillar, and under the stone pillar was a high platform, far opposite the Xuanxin Hall opposite.
Not only that, but the aura in his meridians was all like freezing, and there was no flow at all.
He froze, and it took him a long time to remember what had happened before.
His memory was broken after Renji's finger.
What happened after that?
What happened to Cheng Jianxue?
Why are you here?
This series of questions kept repeating in his mind, making Su Moyu feel that his head was about to explode.
He wanted to open his mouth and shout to relieve the boredom in his heart.
But who expected to open his mouth, but he didn't even make a sound.
"Are you awake?" a voice sounded in front of him.
Su Moyu raised his head and saw clearly that the person who spoke was Bai Siqi who was carrying a sword case.
"Cheng Jian chose to die, you are the murderer. Bai Siqi said, his expression looked calm, but he couldn't help but have a hint of trembling and banter in his tone.
Obviously, he didn't believe it.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you. He gritted his teeth and turned away.
Su Moyu didn't listen to his apology.
Because after he said the five words "Cheng Jian chose to die", Su Moyu's mind became a blank.
Only these five words kept repeating in my ears.
How is it possible that Master is dead?
How could someone as powerful as him die?
How could that fat man who could do anything die?
But if Master didn't die, why was he tied up here?
How could a person like him watch his apprentice suffer?
Su Moyu's eyes widened, and after a long time, two tears fell.
Yes, Master should be dead.
Su Moyu slowly closed his eyes, recalling the events of last night in his mind.
He remembered what Renji had said before he fell unconscious last night, and the shadow of him carrying a sword.
So, was that guy who killed Cheng Jianxue?
Su Moyu carefully recalled the details of last night, and became more and more sure that the murderer was Renji.
Gradually, anger replaced sadness and confusion, and Su Moyu's eyes began to be bloodshot, and when he opened his eyes, they were bright red, like a demon.
However, this is also just senseless anger.
As time slowly passed, the number of people in the square outside the Xuanxin Hall began to gradually increase, and the elders and disciples of all streams gathered outside the Xuanxin Palace, pointing in the direction of Su Moyu from time to time.
"What are they here for?" Su Moyu was a little puzzled.
At this moment, not far from the crowd, several familiar figures appeared.
It was Kou Yuanbao, the master of Yanyun Peak, who took Jiang Qingwen and other disciples.
When Kou Yuanbao passed by Su Moyu's side, he didn't even look at Su Moyu at all, but Jiang Qingwen's gaze stayed on him for a moment.
It's just that the look in his eyes is very complicated, and Su Moyu didn't understand the emotions in it.
"The sect master has arrived!" With a shout, the square was immediately silent, and when everyone's eyes fell on the main gate of the Xuanxin Palace, they saw Yuan Yangzi appear on the jade steps.
"Meet the Sect Master!" everyone saluted.
The old Yuanyangzi just nodded lightly.
"Yesterday, there was a tragedy in our sect, the ghost sword flowed into a sword and died a tragic death, and the murderer was his personal disciple, Su Moyu!" These words were said by Yuan Yangzi himself, and naturally no one dared to question it.
There was an immediate burst of invective in the square.
And Su Moyu, who was tied aside, stared at the direction of Yuan Yangzi, he couldn't believe his ears.
Kill Cheng Jianxuan yourself?
Ghost believes!
He never thought that this most powerful person in the Xuanjian Sect would be so despicable and shameless.
Yuanyangzi naturally didn't care what Su Moyu thought, but he cleared his throat and continued: "Fortunately, the elder of the library building, Renji, captured this son of great rebellion, tied him in front of the Xuanxin Palace, and accepted the judgment of the sect's laws. ”
Following Yuanyangzi's voice, Renji stepped up to the high platform step by step, saluted Yuanyangzi, and then stepped aside.
"Where is the Discipline Hall?" said Yuanyangzi.
An old Taoist priest stepped out of the crowd and said, "Here." ”
Yuanyangzi said: "This son, what crime should he be guilty of?"
The old Taoist of the Discipline Hall turned around, looked at Su Moyu from afar, and said, "The crime of killing the teacher should be executed with the punishment of Ling Chi." ”
Hearing this, the crowd under the square whispered.
Su Moyu was wronged, everyone knows this in their hearts, but they can't say it.
So when they heard that he was going to be put to death by Ling Chi, some people were somewhat emotionally unacceptable.
"Silence!" Futoyoko shouted with her eyes closed.
The sect master spoke, and naturally no one dared to say a word more.
"Act according to the rules of the door!" Yuan Yangzi finished speaking, looking at the elder of the Discipline Hall.
The old Taoist priest of the precept hall nodded, and with a wave of his hand, there were two third-generation disciples with big shoulders and round waists, carrying all kinds of torture tools, towards the high platform where Su Moyu was bound.
"Sect Master!"
At this moment, suddenly a voice sounded, and the sick old Dao who had been friends with Cheng Jian stood at the foot of the jade steps.
"What's the matter?" asked Yuanyangzi with a frown.
"This matter is too strange, Cheng Jian chose to be very good to this son, how could this kid assassinate the master who was so kind to him?" said the sick old man.
As soon as these words came out, it was really like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. Everyone knew that there was something strange about this matter, but no one was willing to say it, because Cheng Jianxue was dead, and speaking for Su Moyu could not change the ending, and it was possible to offend the sect master.
Who would do such a stupid thing?
Su Moyu, who was tied to the stage, was also slightly stunned, looking at the sick old man's eyes, there was a little more gratitude.
"It is precisely because Senior Brother Cheng treats him very well that he is especially hateful to do such a rebellious thing!"
The sick old man frowned, looked back at Su Moyu and said, "But with his cultivation, how can he kill Cheng Jianxuan?"
Renji sneered: "The top two in this year's Great Martial Arts Test, the cultivation is naturally good, and Senior Brother Cheng has no precautions against him, so he was poisoned." This is what I and Senior Brother Bai Xingchen have seen with our own eyes, you are defending this thief like this, could it be that you are the mastermind behind him?"
Planting in public, this method is not as good as He Gao, but behind Renji stands the sect leader Yuan Yangzi, so such a clumsy defense also makes the sick old man a little unbearable.
"Well, all of them stand down. Yuanyangzi waved his hand, Renji retreated to the side, and the sick old man under the jade steps could only sigh, shook his head towards Su Moyu on the stage, and stepped aside.
"The hour has come, execution!" the elder of the Discipline Hall shouted, and the two executioners came to Su Moyu with knives.
"Boy, I'm going to watch you die!" Renji, who was standing in the distance, had a pair of eyes narrowed tightly, and his heart was indescribably happy.
And Su Moyu on the stage was extremely resentful and desolate in his heart.
He couldn't have imagined that he would die like this.
Seeing that the knife was about to fall on his body, Su Moyu sighed secretly and slowly closed his eyes.
But just as he closed his eyes, suddenly there was a wind around him, and then two crisp sounds were heard.
Su Moyu hurriedly opened his eyes, but saw that the knives in the hands of the two executioners were shot to the ground.
"What's going on?" everyone in the audience was stunned, and suddenly found that there was another person on the high platform.
