Chapter 60: Undercurrents

"Elder Punishment, Elder Punishment, open the door quickly, something is wrong, something is wrong!"

Hearing the sound of slamming the door outside, Elder Xing reluctantly opened his eyes, at this time the room was dark, I was afraid that the sky was not yet bright, and for a while I only felt that the fire in my chest was rushing out.

Yesterday's meal, the torture elder drank the most enjoyable, coupled with the rich and mellow wine of the Yuelou, he drank a few more sips for a while, and finally drank until he was groggy, and he couldn't even speak, and then he was carried back to the room by the disciples.

Now that the hangover is still not gone, the headache is splitting, and being woken up early in the morning, no one will have a good temper.

The Elder of the Punishment held his head, only feeling extremely heavy, but when he heard the urgent sound outside the door and the rapid slamming of the door, he was afraid that he couldn't remember it.

If it's not a big deal, see that I don't spare you!

"What is the noise, the sky is falling, as a disciple of the Sword Pavilion, acting in such a panic, what kind of system has it become?"

When the door was unlocked and the door was opened, the loud voice of the torture elder startled the people outside the door.

Seeing that he looked stupid, Elder Xing's anger didn't come to one place, and he was about to open his mouth to continue teaching, but he didn't expect the other party to take his hand and turn around and run away.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, what the hell are you going to do?

Elder Xing was ashamed and annoyed, but he had never seen such an unreliable disciple in the sect, and his mouth was almost crooked in anger.

Didn't you see that I was wearing a single coat, and I didn't even change my clothes at this time?

"Elder Xing, please hurry up, the four elders are waiting for you, this time the sky is really falling!"

Hearing this, Elder Xing was stunned for a moment, and he didn't understand what he meant at all, but at this moment, he had already been dragged out of the courtyard!

"What do you say, the sky is falling? How can the sky fall? You explain it to me!"

The torture elder woke up with a hangover, his head was still not bright, and at this time, his brain was groggy, and the whole person was confused, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Elder Xing, something big happened in the pavilion, Senior Brother Hong Shaoyu and Hong are dead, and the body is going to the compound of the back house!"

Hearing these words, Elder Xing was like being struck by lightning, and he suddenly came to his senses, and even his brain didn't hurt anymore, but at this time, it became blank.

He was pulled and ran a few steps, and then suddenly came back to his senses, at this time, he no longer needed to be pulled by others, and suddenly his luck was under his feet, and he overtook him in a few steps, went straight to the compound, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The Elder Torture is not weak in his cultivation, and this body is also very powerful, and it will only be a moment in the compound.

At this time, there were already a lot of people in the entire compound, and when everyone heard the voice, they all looked back and saw that although the torture elder was dressed in a single coat and still had some sleep marks on his face, no one cared about this anymore.

"What the hell is going on!?"

The Torture Elder came to the front as he asked, but without anyone else speaking, he finished everything in front of him.

I saw that not far ahead, Hong Shaoyu was leaning on the courtyard wall, his head lowered, sitting in a pool of blood, he was covered in blood, he was almost dry at this time, and he was obviously out of breath for a long time.

A Sword Pavilion disciple beside him was kneeling beside him, crying bitterly, unable to pull up no matter how much others pulled it.

Elder Xing's face was frightened and dazed, his feet shook, and he almost fell, but he was supported by Elder Shi beside him.

Now there is no shortage of the four elders, in addition, He Mingdu, Qi Xuanhui, Xia Yingli are also there, and then there are some other disciples in the pavilion, among the Sword Pavilion, some of the disciples are here, but except for Zhang Xiao and Dongfang Bai.

The disciple who knelt down beside Zhang Xiao was a junior who was the same as Hong Shaoyu, and at first he entered the Sword Pavilion as Hong Shaoyu's attendant, although his talent was not high, but he had a diligent and studious attitude, and finally became an official disciple of the Sword Pavilion with his hard work, and he has been following Hong Shaoyu on weekdays, and he is the most staunch follower of the latter.

Hong Shaoyu went to the elders' house and did not return overnight, Bian Dan knew about it, and someone came to pass the word before, and also told the elders that Hong Shaoyu had stayed for a drink.

Because of Grandmaster Hong Shaoyu's qualifications, his cultivation is lofty, and he doesn't need others to worry about his safety, but the amount of alcohol is mediocre, and he is afraid that he will be drunk on the side of the elders, so early this morning, Bian Dan was about to go to pick him up, but he didn't expect to step into the compound, but he smelled a faint smell of blood, and when he turned back, he saw the scene, which made him unforgettable.

After listening to the ins and outs of the matter, Elder Xing was a little more sober, he looked at Hong Shaoyu's corpse for a long time and was silent, but in his heart it seemed to have broken the five-flavor bottle, and he couldn't tell what it tasted like.

Originally, a meal of wine, just let the four of them get such a powerful boost, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen at this time, it is really a bit too coincidental, so since then, I am afraid that their elders' house also has an inseparable suspicion, but with Hong Shaoyu's ability, even if he is drunk, it is not something that ordinary people can match, he can kill it, but it does not alarm others, and the whole world, I am afraid that there will not be too much.

At this time, Elder Xing was stunned, as if he had thought of something, his expression changed slightly, he turned his head to look around, and sure enough, he didn't see Zhang Xiao's shadow!

"Where is the Pavilion Master? Where is the Pavilion Master? There is such a big thing in the Pavilion, why hasn't he shown up, what are you thinking?"

Elder Xing had the intention to divert his attention and wanted to guide Zhang Xiao's body, as long as he was not a really stupid person, he would know what he meant when he heard it, and for a while, whether it was Qi Xuanhui or Xia Yingli, they all looked at him coldly, completely disdainful.

Now He Mingdu also has a lot of city government, even if he knows it, his demeanor is as usual, and at this time, he didn't even look at the torture elder, and his eyes were always on Hong Shaoyu's corpse.

"Pavilion Master, he went to the palace yesterday and was left behind by His Majesty, and now Senior Sister Dongfang has gone to find him, and I believe that he will be able to come back soon. ”

Hearing this, Elder Xing was slightly stunned, nodded at this time, and had no choice but to remain silent.

At this time, Elder Kang, who had already explored the scars around Hong Shaoyu's body, also walked back at this time.

"The sword seals the throat, a fatal blow, this murderer is profound, the shot is neat, the means are extremely ruthless, judging from the scene, he can leave quietly and safely after the murder, I am afraid that this body is also very good, all in all, this person is not only powerful, but also prepared!"

Elder Kang's words were on point, and everyone was convinced.

At this time, Elder Kang looked around, looked at everyone, and spoke again.

"Although the Pavilion Master has not yet arrived, I think that such a big event has happened in the Cabinet, it is simply appalling, and in my opinion, it cannot be delayed, if you have no opinions, I will first tell you my opinion. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and no one objected.

"Elder Kang, since this is the case, you can say it, Shao Yu's bones are not cold, we can't let the murderer go unpunished, no matter who the murderer is, if you dare to fan my Sword Pavilion, you must not spare him!"

The words of the criminal elder resonated with everyone, and for a while, the crowd was furious, and they all wanted to severely punish the murderer.

"From my observation, this murderer, Hong Shaoyu saw it, and also gave a counterattack, but even so, he is still inferior to the other party, it is obvious that the strength of this murderer is higher than him!" Elder Kang paused for a moment, but at this time, he suddenly turned back to Firefly and forgot about it, "As we all know, Hong Shaoyu is now a grandmaster, even in my Sword Pavilion, it is also a rare achievement, but the person who can kill the grandmaster, how many people can there be in the world?"

As soon as Kang Lao's words fell, everyone followed his gaze and looked in the direction of Firefly, you must know that in the entire Sword Pavilion, in addition to Hong Shaoyu, there are only Zhang Xiao and Firefly, although they suspect that their fellow disciples are not very good, but almost most people know that not long ago, Firefly and Hong Shaoyu had just clashed, and it is said that in that conflict, Hong Shaoyu was also injured.

Although I don't know why the two have a conflict, but based on this incident alone, Firefly can't get rid of suspicion.

Qi Xuanhui's expression changed slightly, and Firefly's face was even more gloomy and scary, but only He Mingdu's expression was as usual.

"There is another thing that makes me very strange, this matter, I want Xia Yatou to explain it for me. ”

If it was just a side attack before, Elder Kang's sentence pointed the finger directly at Firefly, although Firefly Pear cultivated to be transcendent, and ten Elder Kang tied together, they may not be her opponents, but he didn't believe that Firefly would attack him in front of everyone.

Hearing his words, Firefly raised her head and looked at Elder Kang with a pair of cold eyes, which made people feel cold.

"What do you want me to explain?"

Seeing Firefly's cold eyes, although Elder Kang was also a little scared, he was not allowed to retreat until now.

"Shao Yu's death is obviously a one-hit kill, and Shao Yu doesn't have much chance to resist, but there are many signs of fighting at the scene, and judging from the sword marks, many of them can only be made by the Phantom Moon Sword!"

Elder Kang's words were shocking, and everyone was also in an uproar, and for a while, everyone's eyes fell on Firefly, as if they were waiting for her explanation.

Firefly frowned slightly, sneered at this time, and the chill around her body was even worse.

"No comment!"

Of course, such an answer could not satisfy everyone, and when Elder Xing heard such an answer, he quietly showed a sneer.

Elder Kang laughed, and at this time he took two steps forward and came to the front of the crowd, he looked around, and at this time he spread his hands, as if he was helpless.

"In this way, you have already admitted that you are the murderer!"

For a while, Firefly's reaction, coupled with Elder Kang's deliberate duty, suddenly made her the target of public criticism, and almost all of them agreed with this point of view, although they were surprised, but the accusations were endless!

"I'm going to kill you, murderer!"

Suddenly, Bian Dan drew his sword and came straight to Firefly, actually wanting to fight for his life.

Everyone exclaimed, but Firefly didn't move, and at this time, a figure jumped by, but it was instantly restrained.

This person is Qi Xuanhui.

Qi Xuanhui's brows were tightly locked, his expression was cold, and his body was domineering, he pressed the flat shoulder to the ground, and the latter couldn't even move a finger.

"Everyone listen to me, last night's incident was not what you imagined, at that time, I and Firefly Li, indeed in this compound, saw Shao Yu, although there was a conflict, but Firefly She was just to save me, and at that time it was just to force Shao Yu back, that's all!"

"If you say so, why did Shao Yu die?"

"This ...... I don't know, when we left last night, Shao Yu was indeed fine, but what happened after that, we don't know! This statement is absolutely true, if there is a lie, I would rather be hit by five thunders, and the sky will be thundered. ”

Although Qi Xuanhui swore an oath to prove it, these words were still unsatisfactory, not only because of the deliberate guidance of the elders, but also because of the attitude of Firefly, so far, she has not proved it for herself, even if she said a word, she was indifferent throughout the whole process, and even unabashedly showed hostility.

At this moment, He Mingdu walked out and blocked in front of Qi Xuanhui and Firefly.

"I heard that yesterday afternoon, Hong Shaoyu came to the Elders' House alone, and several elders even put on a feast, booking a banquet from the Picking Moon Tower in the capital, and drinking the wine of the Picking Moon Tower, yes or no?"

He Mingdu's words made everyone stunned, and after several elders heard it, their hearts were in turmoil, knowing that things were going to be bad.

"The question now is not to discuss ......"

"Yes and no?"

Elder Kang deliberately diverted the topic, but was directly interrupted by He Mingdu.

Today's He Mingdu, because he has been dealing with the affairs of the Sword Pavilion for a long time, is very prestigious in the Pavilion, and he is also very bold in speaking and doing things, and at this time he is even more majestic, even if people want to refuse.

"You...... You're right, it's true, but ......"

"I heard that this meal was drunk until the middle of the night, everyone was drunk, and the Elder Xing missed the morning meeting of the Elders' House because of this, as for Shao Yu's drinking, everyone must have known it, I am afraid that when he left, he was also shaky. ”

Hearing this, Elder Xing's face turned red, so he quickly turned his head, and Elder Kang, who was facing the questioning, didn't know how to answer.

He Mingdu didn't need him to answer, and continued to talk at this time.

"As far as I know, last night, Xuanhui and Shao Yu did have a conflict, and Shao Yu was drunk because he was drunk, and he shot at Xuanhui, but was saved by Firefly, I believe this, and I also believe that whether it is Xuanhui or Firefly, they are not people who can kill Shao Yu, you ask yourself, in your mind, how are these two people on weekdays, I think you know in your hearts, at this time doubt them, is it too much!"

He Mingdu's words made everyone look at each other, and some people looked embarrassed, and lowered their heads directly at this time.

Elder Kang didn't expect that He Mingdu could suppress the momentum he had just built up with just one word, and he couldn't help but be a little angry for a while.

"He Mingdu, don't be demagogic, do you know what you're going to do, it's the so-called Heavenly Dao, if you dare to shield the murderer, you will be punished together!"

Hearing this, He Mingdu's eyes lit up, and the momentum around him suddenly rose, which actually startled Elder Kang.

"Elder Kang, don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet. ”

He Mingdu's expression was as usual, with a smile on his face, but he was not angry and arrogant, and when the four elders saw it, they didn't feel a head shorter.

"Shao Yu is drunk, and his cultivation is naturally not as good as before, in my opinion, it is not necessarily the grandmaster who can kill him, and no matter who the murderer is, but from this matter, it is obvious that he is prepared, and it is very likely that he can attack Shao Yu, that is, he knows that he is drunk!"

The murderer came prepared, and Elder Kang had just said it, but He Mingdu's words were not so simple, and it made the four elders gasp for a while.

He Mingdu smiled coldly, his eyes passing over the faces of the four elders in turn.

"Shao Yu is drunk, it is precisely because of the banquet of the four elders, in this way, I am afraid that the Elders' House is inseparable!"

Everyone's eyes all fell on the four elders for a while, the four of them looked frightened, and they were also a little flustered for a while, they didn't expect He Mingdu to have such strength, he even beat him, and at this time, he actually pulled all his attention to his side!

"He Mingdu, you are spewing blood, how can our Elders' House kill the disciples in the sect?"

The elders were flustered and at a loss, Elder Kang was even more angry, and his anger was abnormal, but He Mingdu was still indifferent, and he made a judgment for a while.

"According to my observation, Shao Yu's sword madness seems to be gone, I remember that giving this sword to Shao Yu is exactly what the Elders' House meant, now it seems that after the murderer committed the murder, he took the madness away, and now as long as this sword can be found, I am afraid that the murderer will have nowhere to hide!"

"He Mingdu, what do you mean, even if the mad flame is given to Shao Yu by us and others, it can't be said that this matter is related to us, in that case, you can find out this sword and see who is the murderer!"

"Of course, I will!"

The two sides did not give in to each other, and the disciples were also divided into two factions at this time, and the atmosphere was very tense for a while, as if as long as they gave in, their side must be the murderer.

"The pavilion master is here, the pavilion master is here!"

At this time, Zhang Xiao finally appeared, and the person who followed him was Dongfang Bai.

"Pavilion Master......"

Seeing Zhang Xiao, Firefly also felt a little guilty at this time, she knew that it was because of herself that things had come to this point.

But Zhang Xiao didn't blame him, he just nodded at this time.

"You go back first, I'll take care of this matter. ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiao looked at everyone again.

"All of them are scattered, except for Mingdu and Xuanhui, everyone goes back to their subordinate courtyards and is not allowed to go out at will. ”

The pavilion master had an order, and everyone should obey it, and they dispersed for a while, but the four elders didn't want to just forget it, so they rushed forward one after another to find Zhang Xiao to hold him accountable.

"Zhang Xiao, look at these disciples, what kind of system they have become, they talk nonsense, they deceive people's hearts, and they dare to hold the old man accountable! If you don't give the old man an explanation today, I will ...... it."

"Go back!"

Without waiting for Elder Kang to finish speaking, Zhang Xiao directly interrupted him.

"Zhang Xiao, you dare to be rude to me? When your master was alive, he didn't dare to talk to me like this!"

Hearing Elder Kang mention his mentor, Zhang Xiao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked at him, and for a while, endless sword intent rose to the sky, and in an instant, it seemed that a cold winter had suddenly arrived, and the heavens and the earth were slaughtered!

At this moment, all the elders also changed color, and they were silent for a while.

"I am the master of the Sword Pavilion, within the Sword Pavilion, no one can go against my will, no matter who you are, I don't want to say it twice, if you refuse to leave, one more elder and one less elder, I never care!"

The four elders all knew that Zhang Xiao didn't have a hint of joke at all, and at this time, where did he care about his face, he immediately turned around at this time, and disappeared even with a rolling belt, running faster than a rabbit one by one.

Zhang Xiao put away his sword intent, didn't even look at them, and walked alone to Hong Shaoyu's corpse at this time.

After a brief scrutiny, Zhang Xiao squatted down and helped Hong Shaoyu's body up slightly.

Hong Shaoyu was sealed by a sword, and the entire blade pierced his throat, only to see that on the courtyard wall, there were traces left after the blade was pierced.

There was only one point of the sword mark, leaving a small gap, and seeing this gap, Zhang Xiao's eyes were cold and his expression changed slightly.

"Mingdu, go find Jihui!"
