Chapter 167: Sword Cultivation Says the Same
Ning Haoran smiled and said: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, you will reveal the evidence of Lu Changge's killing of Zhu Zaitian to Xuan Zhengsi, and then Xie Chunfeng will come to the door, this is all evidence-based, if you have no problem, why did Xie Chunfeng come to you? And why do you need to let Xuan Zhengsi know about Lu Changge's killing of Zhu Zaitian?"
"You and Lu Changge don't have any unresolved grievances, and if you expose Lu Changge's crimes to the Xuan Zheng Division, there must be a reason why you have to do it. ”
"In Chaosi Alley, when I heard your description, I vaguely guessed something, but as a senior brother, it is inevitable to protect your junior brother, I believe that you must have your own reasons for doing this, no matter what the reason is, as long as you don't do anything that is not tolerated, I will stand in front of you. ”
Li Mengzhou was moved and said with some uneasiness: "The fourth senior brother guessed the problem in Chaosi Lane, so Xie Chunfeng couldn't guess it?"
He was still very confident, but Ning Haoran was able to detect the problem in just a few words, and Xie Chunfeng naturally might also notice it, Xu Hexian could know this, Li Mengzhou didn't care very much, because what he was betting on was that Xu Hexian knew this, and he would still hold on to Lu Changge.
But Xie Chunfeng's attitude is indeed very crucial, after all, he is the chief disciple who does not fall into the mountain, if he uses this as evidence to rescue Lu Changge, it also means that Xu Hexian is given the opportunity to point the finger at himself.
Even if Xie Chunfeng is just guessing, his identity is enough for Xu Hexian to comprehensively target Li Mengzhou for this, and when the time comes, what the Heavenly Lord's Court and the Ligong Sword Academy will have to face is the Immortal Mountain and the Xuanzheng Division, not just hindering Xu Hexian alone.
This would be a terrible thing!
......
At the foot of Udon Mountain, there were two figures, one black and one white, standing quietly beside the muddy mountain road, Ning Haoran, who was dressed in a white shirt, squinted slightly at the raindrops in the night sky, and said with some emotion: "At that time, I was only concerned about fighting, and I forgot to bring my umbrella, fortunately, I am a cultivator, and I usually don't catch a cold, but I don't feel good in the rain." ”
It's nice to walk in the drizzle, but if the road is muddy and slippery, it's hard.
Ning Haoran immediately looked at Li Mengzhou and said, "Xie Chunfeng is actually a very pure person, if he really guessed something, it wouldn't be the kind of performance just now, he will definitely pester you like a dog skin plaster." ”
Li Mengzhou thought a little speechlessly, it was indeed very pure.
Ning Haoran casually pulled down a green leaf from a branch that stood out on the side of the mountain road, and said calmly: "I can faintly perceive that it is because you are my junior brother, and Xie Chunfeng's appearance in Chaosi Lane is very unusual, so I thought about it a little more, but I can't really guess what you are thinking, I and Xie Chunfeng are in different positions, he can't think of it." ”
Having said that, Li Mengzhou was still a little uneasy, he felt that things were gradually exceeding the original plan, and unexpected changes were likely to occur.
"But I'm really a little curious, why did my junior brother kill Zhu Zaitian?"
Although Ning Haoran will unconditionally believe in his junior brother, the murder of the court official is not a trivial matter after all, and if he wants to better protect his junior brother, it is inevitable to know the ins and outs.
And Li Mengzhou didn't hide it anymore, and told the fourth senior brother in 1510, "Actually, the killing of Zhu Zaitian was really just an accident, because I noticed someone peeping outside Chaosi Lane, and on the eve of the banquet, Zhu Zaitian also went outside the city to intercept me to participate in the Panlong Banquet, he is just the person who makes me doubt the most." ”
"But when I went to Baihu Lane to find Zhu Zaitian, he found out his identity, so he could only make a mistake and kill him, and this matter happened to be seen by Lu Changge, who was really peeping, in order to protect myself, I can only judge and push everything on Lu Changge. ”
Ning Haoran said: "It is difficult to kill Zhu Zaitian with your strength, it must be with the help of the ancient girl who lives in your house." ”
It is no secret that Gu Shiyan lives in Chaosi Lane, at least in the eyes of some people, Gu Shiyan has appeared in their field of vision, and in addition to the suspicion of Xuan Zhengsi, what Gu Shiyan has done in the capital is still a secret.
At least Ning Haoran only knew that there was a girl living in his junior brother's courtyard, so what was the identity of this girl, he felt that he couldn't find out the privacy of his junior brother, which was a very bad thing.
In fact, when Gu Shiyan was arrested by the Xuanzheng Division, she was already completely exposed to the eyes of many people in the capital, and the court naturally had some investigations, and the Heavenly Academy, as the strongest intelligence agency in Jiang State, had no reason to stay out of the matter, so it was easy to learn that Gu Shiyan was from the Western Jin Dynasty and was a disciple of the Dragon Roll Academy.
The major academies in the world are all one, and Jiang Guo's academy is the existence of the state religion, in the face of Gu Shiyan from the Western Jin Dynasty Academy, it is difficult to have any hostility, and those who can become disciples of the academy are not bad at least in character, so Jiang Guo's court has no reason to care about what Gu Shiyan is doing in the capital.
Any outsider in the capital is under the vision of the Heavenly Cardinal's spies, and even if there is a problem, they can quickly detect it.
But coincidentally, Li Mengzhou is also one of the secret agents of the Heavenly Council.
Gu Shiyan lives in Chaosi Lane, which is absolutely safe.
Now that he has decided to be honest with the fourth senior brother, Li Mengzhou can only say helplessly: "It is indeed difficult to kill Zhu Zaitian with my strength. ”
Ning Haoran didn't investigate the relationship between his junior brother and Gu Shiyan, he didn't gossip so much, but said with some doubts: "Gu Girl's cultivation will not be much weaker even if it is compared to me, if Lu Changge is peeping outside Chaosi Lane, why can't you expose it on the spot, but suspect Zhu Zaitian's body?"
Li Mengzhou also had a deep confusion about this, before he found Lu Changge, he had a guess, although it is relatively difficult to judge a person's specific identity purely by breath, and in the case of a small difference in the realm, there may indeed be a situation where the breath cannot be perceived, but with Gu Shiyan's cultivation realm, it is impossible and impossible to catch Lu Changge's breath.
Moreover, when Lu Changge peeked, he was aware of the aura being exposed, but in that short moment, he immediately disappeared without a trace, which was the reason why Li Mengzhou and Gu Shiyan couldn't catch him.
Maybe Lu Changge has indeed practiced the method of hiding the aura, although there is a big gap between each of the four realms above, but Lu Changge and Gu Shiyan do have only one small realm difference on the bright side, and it is not impossible to rely on the special method of hiding the aura to hide Gu Shiyan's perception.
is similar to Li Mengzhou's reliance on the supernatural powers of "Silkworm Annihilation Volume" to conceal Beizangfeng's perception.
With his strength that has not crossed the threshold of the Four Realms, and the perception of Beizang Feng, who has not crossed the threshold of the Four Realms, and the perception of Beizangfeng, who has cultivated at the peak of the Four Realms, the supernatural power of "Silkworm Annihilation Scroll" is indispensable, and Lu Changge's ability to hide his aura is not so exaggerated, but it is not impossible to hide it from a cultivator who is a small realm higher than himself.
Ning Haoran thought back to the situation when he asked Buluo Mountain, and said: "There is indeed a special technique for hiding aura in Buluo Mountain, if it is not for the fact that the gap between the realms is too large, it will be difficult to detect it easily. ”
Hiding the breath is just introverting the breath, which is not a method, but there is an essential difference between the pure introverted breath and allowing oneself to completely merge with the heaven and earth, and there is also a special method of hiding the breath in the world, which seems to come from the faction of the array magician.
Buluo Mountain is also a cultivation mountain gate with a strong background, otherwise it will be difficult to become a Five Realms Sect, although if there is a new cultivator who crosses the threshold of the Five Realms, then the mountain gate to which he belongs will rise to the Five Realms, but for the older generation of Five Realms Sects, a strong foundation is the foundation of their standing.
In the past, the Immortal Mountain had a deep connection with the Formation Magician Sect, and it was also a very common thing to have the method of hiding the aura left by the Formation Magicians in ancient times, but the Immortal Mountain had nothing to do with the Formation Master Cao Rushan, who is now in the capital.
When it was not yet decaying, the formation of the sorcerers was also divided into sects, and now the sorcerers have become individuals, serving the powerful dynasty and the royal family.
Therefore, that special method of hiding the aura, except for the existing array masters, very few cultivation mountain gates can be fully mastered, at least in this Jiang country, except for the formation master Cao Rushan, there is only the method that can hide the aura in front of cultivators who are stronger than their own cultivation.
......
Inside the capital under the light rain, the night sky is dotted with faint stars, hazy.
Although the entire capital city has fallen into a deep sleep, in a certain Xianfu inn in the outer city, it is still brightly lit, and the little maids in green clothes are doing their best to serve the cultivators who are temporarily living in the foreign area, and those maids are also serving the male monks in twos and threes.
The Xianfu Inn is a residence specially provided for foreign cultivators, and was established with royal funding, except for some necessary expenses, cultivators do not need to pay money in the Xianfu Inn, but if a cultivator dares to make trouble in the Xianfu Inn, he will also suffer a devastating lesson.
The Xianfu Inn in the big city has at least one high-grade monk of the Four Realms at the very least, and in the capital, there will even be a great monk at the peak of the Four Realms, closely monitoring everything in the Immortal Mansion, of course, the eyes of the monitor will not enter the guest room, which is to peep into the privacy of the guests, which is not allowed.
The Xianfu Inn covers a large area and has a special and independent small courtyard, and Xiao Zhinan lives in one of the small courtyards.
And in this small courtyard, an uninvited guest was also ushered in.
Xiao Zhinan stood quietly under the eaves of the small courtyard, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him who was holding an umbrella in one hand and carrying the other behind him, and said calmly: "I remember very clearly, since I came to the capital, I haven't had much intersection with your Xuanzheng Division......"
Speaking of this, she seemed to suddenly think of something, and said: "If you are here because of the person named Wang Zhong that I killed outside the city gate, then I have some intersection with your Xuanzheng Division. ”
Zhu Zaitian persuaded Wang Zhong to go out of the city with him to intercept Li Mengzhou, but he was very unlucky to meet Xiao Zhinan who was with Li Mengzhou, and Wang Zhong, who was in the top three among the attendants of the Xuanzheng Division, was killed by Xiao Zhinan with a sword.
When Xu Hexian saw Wang Zhong's body, Zhu Zaitian also suffered a very serious punishment, and Xu Hexian naturally knew who Wang Zhong was killed by after the fact.
But he came to Xiao Zhinan this time, but it was not for Wang Zhong's business.
Although Wang Zhong is also the squire of the Xuanzheng Division, Xiao Zhinan also has the charge of murdering court officials, but compared to Lu Changge, Xiao Zhinan's identity is more noble, she is a native of Beiyan, or a personal disciple of the sword house, even if it is Xu Hexian, in front of Xiao Zhinan, she will be a little jealous.
Xu Hexian was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Wang Zhong rushed into Miss Xiao, then if you kill him, he will also take the blame, and I will not come to trouble Miss Xiao because of this." ”
Xiao Zhinan said puzzledly: "If it weren't for Wang Zhong, what would Xu Sishou do to find me?"
Xu Hexian said: "Miss Xiao is the personal inheritance of Beiyan Langhuan, with a noble status, in this capital, only Shen Qiubai of the Star Picking Mansion, Mr. North of the Academy and the chief of the palace can stand side by side with you, but living in this small Xianfu Inn, it is really against my Jiang Guo's hospitality, I took the liberty to come to condole, and I hope that Miss Xiao will not get bored." ”
Xiao Zhinan frowned and said: "I don't understand Xu Sishou's behavior, it's not been a day or two since I came to the capital, the officials of Qingyun Prison have specially come to meet with me, you have already done the way of hospitality, I want to live in the Xianfu Inn." So Xu Sishou doesn't have to talk about him left and right, if he has anything to say, just say it directly. ”
Xiao Zhinan is very direct, she doesn't like to go around, especially listening to a bunch of nonsense.
Xu Hexian smiled and said, "It's my fault, Miss Xiao is bold, and I will get straight to the point." ”
"Although I don't care much about Wang Zhong's matter, I think Miss Xiao also knows that the murder of Yue Shiting, the imperial historian, was investigated by my Xuanzheng Division and Langya Jingzhao Mansion, and in the process of investigation, it was found that the place where Yue Shiting died, there were obvious traces of battle, and it was by no means a weak hand, it seems that Miss Xiao also appeared there, I don't know if there is any reason. ”
When Qi Xiaoran intercepted and killed Yue Shiting, if it weren't for Xiao Zhinan's appearance, even if there were those two people wearing cat face and rabbit face masks to hinder him, with Qi Xiaoran's cultivation, it would be solved quickly, and it would not be like now, with the appearance of witnesses, leaving a bunch of trouble.
Xu Hexian also needs to figure out whether Xiao Zhinan's appearance there is a coincidence or deliberate.
A rabbit face mask appeared next to Lu Changge, which also made Xu Hexian have to associate this matter with Li Mengzhou, and Xiao Zhinan also appeared at the Panlong Banquet with Li Mengzhou, which is a question worth studying.
Xiao Zhinan's expression did not change in the slightest, and said calmly: "I only felt a strong aura, so I appeared there, since I left Beiyan, I have successively fought with Mr. Ligong Si, Mr. Shuyuan Bei, and Shen Qiubai, even if I meet someone who is not as good as the three of them, I will try my best to make myself as interested in drawing my sword." ”
From the moment Xiao Zhinan walked out of the sword house, she was accompanied by one battle after another, the pinnacle battle of the Wanli Plain, the battle of the artistic conception between the capital and Shen Qiubai, and slashed at Zhuge Dan with a sword at the south city gate, she was raising her sword all the time, which was a very common thing for Xiao Zhinan.
But in Xiao Zhinan's words, there was obviously something to hide, what she perceived was a strong sword intent, not just a breath, of course there is an essential difference between sword intent and breath, and Xu Hexian would naturally misunderstand that the powerful aura perceived by Xiao Zhinan belonged to Qi Xiaoran.
So when Xiao Zhinan sensed Qi Xiaoran's existence, he couldn't help but want to draw his sword and fight, which was also a very reasonable thing.
Qi Xiaoran is a great cultivator at the peak of the Four Realms, although he is old enough to be the father of Shen, Bei, and Xue, but he is indeed a powerhouse of the same level, Xiao Zhinan will be interested in Qi Xiaoran to fight, in Xu Hexian's opinion, naturally there is no need to doubt it.
And when Xiao Zhinan's voice just fell, her eyes became a little sharp, that was a battle intent emerging, and the target was directly aimed at Xu Hexian!
Xu Hexian is known as the strongest existence in the Four Realms, and in a sense, he is also the strongest under the threshold of the Five Realms, even if it is Shen Qiubai and Bei Zangfeng, they are slightly inferior to Xu Hexian, Xiao Zhinan should have a fighting spirit, and it is imminent.
Xu Hexian raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said with a smile: "Miss Xiao wants to fight with me?"
Xiao Zhinan didn't speak, but her right hand was already clenching the last flower sword.
Most of the sword cultivators say the same, and if they have an idea, they must act immediately.
Xiao Zhinan's belligerence is an indisputable fact, Xu Hexian has no doubts since then, as for Xiao Zhinan and Li Mengzhou appeared outside the Panlong Banquet together, there is nothing worth investigating in this matter, because according to the ability of Xuan Zhengsi, it is very easy to find out the connection between the two people outside the capital.
As long as Xiao Zhinan did not stand on the opposite side of him, Xu Hexian was naturally unwilling to take the initiative to complain.
He smiled slightly and said, "Well, I also want to see Miss Xiao's skills, but I hope we can stop at the point, after all, I am already an old bone, and I am afraid that I will not let Miss Xiao fight to the fullest." ”
This is a polite remark.
The year of not being confused, don't say that in the world of cultivation, even if it is in the world, it is also the prime of life, although Xu Hexian is faintly over the age of not confused and has reached the advanced age of the secular world, but he is still in the strong age of the world of cultivation.
There is no comparison between the spiritual world and the mundane world.
It is not allowed to fight in the capital, and if it is just a simple exchange and does not affect the outside world, the court will not control it, and the point is the most suitable degree.
There were raindrops falling in the night sky, appearing in front of Xiao Zhinan's eyes, a slender jade finger of her left hand flicked lightly, and the raindrops splashed out in a very explosive manner, and then, the last flower sword was unsheathed, Xiao Zhinan's figure disappeared in place in an instant, through the vast rain and mist, a red afterimage swept by, and the sword blade was already pointing at Xu Hexian!
