Chapter 7 Stripping the Cocoon

"Dong Wufu?"

Chu Xuan squinted his eyes and was silent for a while.

"Honghu Tower used to be called Mingjing Tower?" he asked.

Su Yu propped his cheeks and nodded.."I've checked the file of Honghu Tower. Twenty-five years ago, Dong Wufu became a shareholder of Xinglong and changed the Spiegel Building into Honghu Tower. She couldn't help but blink her eyes and asked, "What's wrong, there's something wrong with this person?"

"He and my mother are old friends, but the real Dong Wufu died twenty-five years ago. Chu Xuan's words were categorical, and Su Yu did not suspect him, and the two of them identified this fact in an instant, and it seemed that they didn't need too many reasons.

He tapped his index finger on the wooden table and asked, "What's the origin of the Xinglong?"

"The composition of the Xinglong is very complicated, and the Baiyun Li Clan, Nanzhao Kingdom, and Huanggu Dojo are all more or less involved with it. However, according to my inference, the Southern Yin-Yang Sect is more closely related to it, and it is likely that it is a part of the Nine Streams Society, a branch of the Yin-Yang Sect. ā€

"Yin Yang Sect! Yin Yang Twin Dong Taixuan?"

Chu Xuan frowned, thought about it, and glanced at Su Yu.."The secret "Numerology Knife" of Huangquan Dao is divided into three levels, which can break through the falsehood, point directly to the hearts of the people, and see the sexuality. Have you reached that stage of cultivation?"

"Uh...... Kan, Kan can break the delusion!" Su Yu blinked, looking surprised.."You, how can you know so well about my Huangquan Dao's Numerology Knife?"

Cultivation has always been secretive, no matter whether it is close or not, it has never revealed the essence of practice, especially the secret transmission that can be included in the top Taoism has always been passed down in one line, although the Huangquan Dao is broken, the top Taoism left behind is only her inheritance of the "Numerology Knife" and the senior sister's inheritance of the "palm line" two, but they also need to inherit the true intention to practice, the so-called "can only be understood, not spoken" refers to the practice state of this top Taoism.

Although Su Yu's Dao realm has reached the fifth realm, but if it does not break the ninth realm, it will be difficult to form a true meaning after all, if she can't find "herself", "Numerology Knife" will be cut off in her generation, unless......

"The true meaning of the inheritance of "Numerology Knife" is what I gave to your senior sister. He said.

Su Yu rolled his dark eyes, and suddenly his eyes widened.."Have you ever been to the Nine Shadows World of the Yellow Spring Dao Master?"

Chu Xuan nodded and did not deny it.

"No wonder......" She suddenly showed a look of knowing everything..."My senior sister has also been to the Nine Shadows World, it turns out that you met at that time!"

Chu Xuan didn't seem to want to say more about these things, he raised his head slightly, and slowly spoke: "Each Dao method has its own uniqueness, your Huangquan Dao's "Numerology Knife" has the characteristics of insight into the origin of things, everything in the world is constantly changing, as long as it moves, there are traces to follow, the so-called autumn wind has not moved the cicada to feel first, and the secret plan is impermanent. Anticipating the enemy is the essence of "Numerology Knife".

In this matter, you can try to find some clues in the known clues?"

"Can the Numerology Knife still be used like this?" Su Yu frowned and couldn't help but bite the nail on his index finger.

Chu Xuan glanced at her lightly.."The initial role of the Numerology Knife is to derive numerology. ā€

"Uh......"

Well, in terms of practice, she really doesn't have much say in it, Huangquan Dao has been in decline for a long time, and the generation that has been passed down to her and her senior sister has long lost most of the sect's heritage, the Taoist scriptures are scarce, the teachings are scarce, and the only remaining Dao methods are also carried out in solo exploration, such as today's elaboration of peeling off the cocoon is unique in the past practice.

"I ......" Su Yu bit his lip.."What should I do?"

"Close your eyes and find that thread......"

"Where's the line?"

"Honghu Tower. ā€

"I—I can't see it!"

Chu Xuan shook his head and suddenly stretched out a finger glowing with golden light.

"I'll show you. ā€

The fingertips were like knives, and they instantly cut through Su Yu's eyebrows, and in a trance, all the mirror images in his mind became blurred......"

......

......

Go back in time.

Honghu Tower. Two men sitting opposite each other.

"The sixth is dead. ā€

"How did you die?"

"I was pierced through the back of my head with chopsticks. ā€

"The bastard did it?"

"It's inseparable. ā€

"It seems that I underestimated him. ā€

A quarter of an hour later, one of the men buried a puppet in the backyard.

It was as if an invisible thread was manipulating the puppet, which went deep into the ground and into an ancient altar, dancing the double-sided drum on the puppet's arms.

"Knock! knock!"

The frequency of the vibration quietly dispersed into the void, transmitting some kind of secret news, and at this moment, many places in Baiyun City received some kind of information, inconspicuous little guys, craftsmen, drunkards, and merchants...... The pitch-black coat was lifted and completely leaked in the scorching sun.

......

......

"Gaba!"

The man's neck was twisted, and Chu Xuan threw down a soft corpse and clapped his hands casually.

"Thirty-seventh. ā€

The eyes of the man dressed as a merchant bulged out, green and shiny, and he looked hideous and terrifying.

Su Yu's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but stretch out his finger and poke Chu Xuan..."He, who are they?"

"The body is full of anger, the complexion is slightly purple, and the eyes are green, and it looks like the hidden killer of the Nine Streams Society. Chu Xuan glanced at her and frowned slightly.."Sooner or later, you will encounter this kind of thing, you should learn to get used to it." ā€

"I'm used to it. Su Yu paused word by word, and raised his head hard..."I, I kill people without blinking." ā€

"The one who kills without blinking, that's the blind. He smiled rarely, pushed the door and walked out of a certain mansion.

"Where are we going?"

"Honghu Tower. ā€

Half a quarter of an hour later.

Si Le Fang, Honghu Tower, the fire is soaring.

"I was very vigilant, and found that there was a problem with the hidden manpower, and decisively destroyed the corpse, and the manpower in the entire Honghu Tower was dead. Su Yu inspected the Honghu Tower for a while, and walked over and said: "They should have more than one way to pass on the news, from the beginning of the killing, the other party already knew about the leakage, and the method is very similar to the blood soul of the Nine Streams Society." ā€

Her face was a little pale, but it was because of the transition of mental exhaustion.

Chu Xuan was silent.

The smell of burning still permeates the streets and alleys for a long time.

He suddenly raised an eyebrow and shook his head.

"The clue is broken?" asked Su Yu curiously.

"It's not. The corpse in the Honghu Tower had already burned to ashes, and he couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the crackling flames. ā€

"Do you know who it is?" asked Su Yu with a wink.

"Who else could think of such a stupid solution but someone who has lived in a house for a long time. ā€

"Who's that man?" she asked curiously.

Chu Xuan turned around, looked in one direction, and said casually, "Maybe it's Yin Lihua, maybe it's some people from the Chu family, maybe it's ...... Anyone else!"

......

......

Purple Spring Garden, Qingning Zhai.

Chu Wenyuan ate expressionlessly.

Yin Lihua carefully picked up the silver bowl, took a bowl of lotus root and lotus soup, and put it in front of him.

"Today is the eighth day of the second month, count the days, and it is time for Yuan'er to come back. She said casually.

"-Bang!"

The dishes and chopsticks were slammed on the table, and Chu Wenyuan glanced at her coldly.."Who asked him to come back?"

The soup splashed on the gorgeous robe, and Yin Lihua frowned.."Half a month is the old lady's birthday, and Yuan'er hasn't been back for a long time, I want to ......"

"Write back to him......" he interrupted her, "tell him to go back to the Ancient Dojo, and he is not allowed to step into Baiyun City without my permission!"

"However, I haven't seen Yuan'er in years......

"It's better not to see it!"

Chu Wenyuan snorted coldly, threw up his sleeves and left, and when he got up and walked to the door, he suddenly paused... ā€

He glanced at her, lifted his legs and walked out.

"-Bang!"

The door creaked.

Yin Lihua calmed her eyelids and quietly looked at the dishes she had carefully cooked on the table.

After a long time, she suddenly let out an "ah" and overturned the tarpaulin on the table.

"Whoa!"

The delicate porcelain and silver ornaments were scattered all over the place, the fragments kept rolling, Yin Lihua grabbed the tarpaulin hard, and the back of her hand floated with green tendons.

......

......

"Uh, the Chu family?" Su Yu's eyes widened, and suddenly he thought of something..."Yesterday, yesterday, the illegitimate son of the Chu family, that is, it's you?" she swallowed.

Chu Xuan nodded, without any extra explanation.

"I see. She showed a look of understanding... "The Chu family is a member of the Baiyun clan, and I have heard about that incident more than twenty years ago, if anyone really intends to target you, Yin Lihua is very suspicious." ā€

Su Yu has a small face and a very serious expression.

"But that's not right, even if the motive is there, where does that woman have the strength to arrange all this?"

Women from families have always had an embarrassing status, and they are generally not welcomed in many families as a tool for marriage of interests, especially women who are destined to marry outside, not only can not meddle in clan affairs, but even practice will be subject to certain restrictions, fearing that the family preaching method will leak out, or the clan will spread secretly.

"That woman knows the "Cave Water Sutra". Chu Xuan said something.

"Uh......" Su Yu was stunned, knowing what the problem was.

"Dongshui Sutra" is the secret of the Yin family in Baiyun City, Yin Lihua itself is not a talented person, naturally will not be taught this kind of Taoism related to the foundation of the clan, a woman who is destined to marry outside has learned the "Cave Water Sutra", there is probably only one possibility

- She stole it.

"How could the Yin family make such a low-level mistake back then?" Su Yu stretched out his jade fingers and rubbed his temples, looking a little tired.

"External enemies are easy to avoid, but internal ghosts are difficult to defend. There are people in the Yin family who help her, so she can naturally hide from the world, but ......" Chu Xuan looked into the distance.."She is indeed very forbearing, knows how to grasp the opportunity, and finally can make a profit." ā€

"Could it be twenty-five years ago?" As if thinking of something, Su Yu's eyes lit up suddenly.."Twenty-five years ago, because of the birth of the Qianyuan Sword Fetus, there was a war between Baiyun City and the Southern Yin-Yang Sect, and both sides were injured, a hundred miles southeast of the Qianyuan Valley, the Yin Family Warlock Battalion blocked the killers of the Nine Streams Society, but was ambushed by the masters of the Yin-Yang Sect, and finally the whole army was annihilated, the Yin Family Master did not know whether he was alive or dead, the clan was infighting, and his power plummeted.

Afterwards, the Yin and Chu families, who had already had a gap, suddenly married, and the Chu family swelled rapidly, chasing after the Baiyun Li family, which must have something to do with her, maybe the remaining strength of the Yin family must be in her hands. ā€

She smiled suddenly, "Am I right?"

"Almost, but, that woman ......" Chu Xuan stared in one direction..."It's more powerful than you think." ā€

"Uh......"
