At this time, the sun has risen, scorching this red land, if you can look down from the air, the cave painted with white ash is like a rose-white chess piece, and this Ayukuka city on the terracotta plateau is the red chessboard, each chess piece is a kind of fate, these fates are intertwined, and it is the fate of this city. Today's game was won or lost on the biggest chess piece in the center of the city, and someone tried to reverse the result.

In the meeting room of the patriarch, the old man dressed in the robe of the Bright Sect and with a childish face was not the high priest of Mu Bai, he drank tea and said with a smile: "Patriarch Gu Xun, after more than 20 years, don't come unharmed!"

Sitting with him was also an old man with clear skin, his eye sockets were sunken, his shriveled lips under the broad bridge of his nose were purple, and his expression was tired, and he forcibly raised his voice: "Yes, at that time, we were still fighting all night about doctrine and ideas, and we have not won or lost yet, but I didn't expect that the farewell on the second day would be nearly another twenty years before we get together again." ”

The two clinked glasses and drank each other, sighing.

Gu Xun put away his wrinkles and asked with a tense face: "Mu Bai, if you suddenly visit today, should you still fight for the two doctrines to be right or wrong, and to divide the winner or loser?"

Mu Bai shook his head and said: "At this age, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, who is so serious, I'm just stopping by, remembering that my old friend is here, so I turned around to visit, why is it not welcome?"

Gu Xun looked at Mu Bai with a serious expression, and saw that there were dozens of guards standing behind Mu Bai, including the Bright Sect Secret Annihilation Ruling Group, and even the senior generals of the Demon Royal Army, he sighed and said, "How can it not be welcome, it's just that this is not what it used to be, and the timing is not right!"

Mu Bai looked at the young man in front of him who was once as passionate and generous as himself being turned into a withered old man by time, and said with regret in his heart: "Visiting old friends, regardless of the opportunity. ”

"If you have different positions, there will always be a gap......"

Mu Bai retorted: "Different paths lead to the same end, and there is no difference in my heart. ”

Gu Xun said dejectedly: "You haven't changed at all, you are still as sharp as before, and you refuse to give in." ”

Mu Bai smiled dumbly and said: "But you have changed, the young man I am arguing with is majestic and heroic, not afraid of heaven and earth." ”

Gu Xun resigned himself and said, "You shouldn't have come specifically to laugh at me!"

"I don't have that much leisure. After Mu Bai finished speaking, he said to the guards behind him: "You all stand down, it's enough to leave Zhanguang alone, there are too many people, I don't know how to speak." ”

The leader of the Demon Imperial Army said, "High Priestess, we want to ensure your safety, please don't embarrass your subordinates. ”

"Safe fart!, a group of you people are staring at me, how can I talk......" Mu Bai patted the table and said, "Hurry up and let me out!"

Seeing that Mu Bai was really angry, the commander didn't dare to insist, and led his men to guard the door of the cave, saying, "If there is something, you can shout, and we will be outside the door." ”

Gu Xun also waved his hand, and the Yuena warriors behind him also bowed and withdrew, leaving only one warrior with a body like a tiger, and the conference room, which was originally a little crowded, suddenly became empty.

"Okay, everyone is gone, we can talk openly. Mu Bai suddenly suppressed his voice and asked hurriedly: "What the hell is going on, there are no missionaries who have come here before, there is no accident, why have ten people died in a row this year......

"I don't know, I've ordered to go down and try my best to investigate the truth, but instead of a clue, it has become more confusing. ”

Mu Bai also ignored Gu Xun's identity, and directly scolded: "How is it possible, there should be a little clue left in ten murders, how can there be nothing, how did you deal with it." ”

Gu Xun flipped through the case, threw it to Mu Bai, beckoned again, and said lazily to the soldier beside him

"Yuefeng, next, it's up to you. ”

Yue Feng came up, pointed to the case and said: "High Priest Mu, you see that we have specially made a painting here, you see, the murderer only attacked the missionary, and he stabbed directly into the heart of the deceased with a knife, and it was a close stab, killing with one blow, and the deceased didn't even shout out in the end." The time of the murder was at night, and you know, the wind blows the sand and gravel in this city all day, and many traces disappear the next morning. I think the murderer also knew about it and took advantage of it. ”

"From the above records of the murders, we make the first inference. That's ......" Yue Feng said this, but looked at Mu Bai and Zhanguang awkwardly and did not continue.

Mu Bai hurriedly said: "Oh, you are a seven-foot man, how can you be a mother-in-law!"

Even if Mu Bai instigated like this, Yue Feng only laughed twice, standing next to him like a tall statue solemn and solemn, his tone was very tight.

"Why are you looking at me like this, it doesn't matter, I've been an old friend with Gu Xun for decades, if you have something to say, let it go. ”

Gu Xun also smiled: "Mu Bai, you are still so impatient, the old man should also have the appearance of an old man, why are you still so impatient." ”

"Then should it be like you, lifeless?" Mu Bai snorted coldly and said, "Yuefeng, you hurry up." ”

Yuefeng still deliberately squeaked for a long time, unable to hold back a fart.

Zhan Guang said: "I think Yue Feng is trying to say that the conclusion is that this murderer should be someone from within our Bright Sect. ”

"What! how is this possible. Mu Bai slapped the corner of the table, his eyes were like copper bells, and he was not angry. Seeing that Yuefeng didn't refute, he also calmed down and began to think about this possibility.

Yue Feng only spoke again at this moment: "If you want to meet at night, and it is a close and unsuspicious contact, I think except for the Bright Sect itself, no one else can do it, at least no one in the Yuena clan can do it, and the size and depth of the wound have also been judged, it should be caused by a short knife and a narrow blade, which has never been seen in Az City." And I checked all the blacksmith shops in Az City, and found no one to customize and use such a willow knife. ”

Mu Bai nodded in agreement when he listened, and then asked, "What about outside Azi City...... Check if there is any. ”

"I checked, but I couldn't find it. ”

"What do you mean you can't find it?"

"When we want to search for clues, it always feels like there is a net that has already been rolled out, waiting for us to throw it inside. ”

Mu Bai was puzzled and said, "You mean that someone has already set up this bureau in advance?"

"Yes, I secretly sent five teams to infiltrate the hinterland of Dongxuan to investigate, but in the end, there was no news, and it has been a full three months, I am afraid that it has already been ....... Speaking of this, Yue Feng clenched his fists, his eyes were about to split, and every word made him break his liver and intestines.

Mu Bai stood up, his lips trembling.

Yuefeng lost his voice and said: "That's all the good sons of our Yuena clan, it's gone." ”

"Now, the Demon Imperial Army and the Sect of Light still want us to find out the truth and hand over the murderer within this month. Yue Feng was filled with righteous indignation, and tried his best to restrain his emotions and said, "We don't have enough troops to carry it out. ”

Mu Bai reprimanded: "Zhanguang, such a big thing, why didn't anyone inform me, if I hadn't happened to pass by two days ago, would I still be kept in the dark......"

Zhan Guang leaned into Mu Bai's ear and whispered, "When this matter was reported back to the Bright Sect, you happened to be out on patrol, and all of this was decided by the sect leader himself. He said that the prestige of the Illuminati cannot be challenged, and the blood of ten missionaries cannot be shed in vain for no reason. He paused when he said this, and pressed his already low voice into his throat: "He also said that he can take this opportunity to get rid of the Eternal Night Sect, so that the Bright Sect can control the entire Dongxuan Continent." ”

"Bastard!" Mu Bai took a picture, with a layer of golden light, directly shattering the coffee table: "Now that he covers the sky with one hand, can he do whatever he wants without a bottom line like this?"

Zhanguang retreated, Yue Feng said: "The Demon Imperial Army has been meddling in this matter for two months, since they entered the city, they have made all the grass and trees soldiers, and the people are panicked. ”

Mu Bai shouted: "Zhanguang, who gave this order? Could it be that Ling Qi? He, a young man, has always had some means to handle cases, so he doesn't have to make such a big show!" ”

Zhanguang said: "It's not Commander Ling...... It is Zhong Mao, who is in charge of the eastern part of Dongxuan. ”

"Zhong Mao! That stubborn old fellow, how could he call him. As for the others, tell him to come to me now. Mu Bai asked again: "Then what about your great wizard Gu Xuan, as long as he is willing to come forward, I believe that the entire Dongxuan will give him face." ”

Zhanguang coughed embarrassedly and said, "He knew that you were coming, so he hurried away, leaving only Deputy Commander Shi Juncan." ”

Gu Xun let out a long sigh, there was a moist mist in his eyes, and said: "The great wizard's body is not as good as a year, and now he has lived in the temple for a long time, we don't dare to let him work anymore, as the spiritual pillar and symbol of the Yuena clan, he can't fall, especially at this critical moment." ”

Mu Bai calculated: "Since this is the case, then the old man will say, I can help you be accommodating for a while on the side of the Bright Sect, as for the Demon Imperial Army, I will personally go and say that they will evacuate the terracotta plateau, believe me This old face is still a little thin." ”

Gu Xun looked at Mu Bai with dim eyes, shook his head and said: "This matter is definitely not just a problem of the ten missionaries, I am afraid that after this storm, there will be a hurricane, why should you get involved in it again......"

The corners of Mu Bai's mouth raised, the wrinkles were folded, and he said with a smile: "Gu Xun, there are some storms, it's not that you can hide from them, since you can't dodge, then run after the storm, the old man naturally likes this, besides, after living a lot of age, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen." ”

Mu Bai saw that Gu Xun still wanted to dissuade him, so he stood up and preemptively said: "Okay, this matter is settled, let me for three days, after three days, I will definitely return Azi City to peace." ”

This chess piece was settled in this promise today, and this game is only half played.
