Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.inforeadx;? Shangguan Xiu rarely saw the Holy Maiden get angry, this was the first time he saw it, he thought about it for a while, and said, "No matter what you plan to do, I will support you,"

The holy woman looked at Shangguan Xiu and nodded to him,

When the two of them returned to the temple, the four great elders had not left, and they investigated the maids in the temple one by one, but the final result was nothing, and they could only conclude that the cuckoo was an exception, and there were no other comrades in the temple.

In the main hall of the temple, the holy woman sent out all the maids present.

In the main hall, only Shangguan Xiu, the Holy Maiden and the four Great Elders remained, and the Holy Maiden stood in front of the statue and said slowly: "Just now, I went to the place where the cuckoo was killed with the Guogong Palace, and found a very strange and incredible thing,"

The four Great Elders and Shangguan Xiu all looked at the Holy Maiden and >

The saint continued word by word: "The murderer used a blood-drinking sword,"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Zun, Zhang Chong, Wei Jue, and Gu Ling'er's faces all changed, and Shangguan Xiu also narrowed his eyes, not understanding why the saint wanted to announce the results of the investigation.

Huang Zun cleared his throat and asked, "Why did the Holy Maiden conclude that the murderer used a blood-drinking sword, only because there were traces of a fight at the scene and there was no trace of blood?"

The holy woman nodded, shook her head again, and said: "This is just one of the suspicions, there is another reason, there are fifteen trees at the scene that were cut off by the spirit wave cast by the murderer, and at the fracture of the stump, there is a smell of blood, and the spirit wave released by the spirit soldier cannot have a bloody smell, only one spirit soldier has such an effect, that is, the blood drinking sword,"

Zhang Chong and Wei Jue glanced at each other, their brows furrowed, no one spoke, Gu Ling'er muttered: "Zhan Yu is dead, the blood-drinking sword should have been in the Xuanling Palace, how could it appear in the Divine Pool,"

The Holy Maiden said bluntly, "I suspect that the Blood-Drinking Sword is in the hands of one of the six of us,"

Hearing this, the faces of the four Great Elders changed again, and people all looked at Shangguan Xiu, but Gu Ling'er asked first: "The Holy Maiden should not suspect that the Blood Drinking Sword is in the hands of His Royal Highness Guogong,"

No one knows who killed Zhan Xiang, but people know one thing that the last person to see Zhan Xiang was Shangguan Xiu, if the blood-drinking sword was in the hands of one of the six people present, Shangguan Xiu's suspicion was undoubtedly the greatest.

Shangguan Xiu put his hands behind his back and hung his head silently,

The holy woman slowly spoke: "It's not His Royal Highness Guogong, at the time of the incident, His Royal Highness Guogong was highly poisoned, and after waking up, he has been with me all the time, unless His Royal Highness Guogong will use the doppelganger technique, the real body is in the temple, and the doppelganger will kill people,"

Shangguan Xiu and the Holy Maiden are both in the temple, and the two have always been together, Shangguan Xiu's suspicion is naturally ruled out, so one of the six people mentioned by the Holy Maiden is among the four of them Great Elders.

Huang Zun subconsciously took a step forward and asked, "The Holy Maiden is suspicious of the four of us,"

The holy woman said: "Elder Lin's death is very strange, Zhan Yan's death is also very strange, this time, the blood-drinking sword appeared in the divine pool again, and the murderer also killed the cuckoo and the four stalking maids in a very short period of time, the four elders thought that except for the great elder, who else had such a ability,"

Speaking of this, her bright gaze swept over the four Great Elders one by one, and then, she re-told the four Great Elders about the analysis that Shangguan Xiu had made,

Finally she said: " The person who can put Elder Lin to death is the person he is most familiar with, and it is too easy to blame Elder Lin's death on Zhan Xiang, the blood drinking sword is famous all over the world, just let Elder Lin's blood dry, you can make the illusion that he died under the blood drinking sword, the person who can put Elder Lin to death is either the Venerable of Xuanling Palace, or the Great Elder of Shenchi, and those who can kill the four maids of the temple in an instant, this is probably only the Venerable of Xuanling Palace and the Great Elder of Shenchi can do it, it is impossible for the Venerable of Xuanling Palace to kill Zhan Xuan, let alone sneak into the Divine Pool silently and kill the maids of my temple, so......" Speaking of this, her gaze fell on the faces of the four Great Elders, and the following words did not continue,

Huang Zun, Zhang Chong, Wei Jue, and Gu Linger looked at each other, their faces became more and more solemn, and when they looked at each other's eyes, they unconsciously revealed a little inexplicable emotion.

Shangguan Xiu looked at it, and secretly said smartly, he finally understood the intention of the Holy Maiden now, they want to secretly investigate the Great Elder of Shenchi, which is not only dangerous, but also impossible, instead of wasting energy in vain and taking risks, it is better to tell them the truth openly and honestly, in this way, of course, it will startle the snake, but from now on, the Great Elder will also check and balance each other, and those who are secretly plotting things will never dare to act rashly again,

I don't know how long it was, it seemed like a few seconds, and it seemed like it was centuries long, Zhang Chong was the first to speak: "Tonight, Elder Wei and I have been playing chess on Shenchi Mountain all the time, and we have never left Shenchi Mountain, but there were no disciples present at that time,"

Wei Jue nodded beside him, indicating that Zhang Chong was right,

Hearing Zhang Chong's words, Huang Zun and Gu Linger frowned, if Zhang Chong and Wei Jue could testify to each other, then the problem could only come from the two of them.

Gu Linger glanced at Huang Zun and said to the Holy Maiden: "I practiced in the cave at night and didn't go out, but there is no one to testify,"

As soon as her voice fell, Huang Zun immediately answered: "Me too,"

The saint frowned slightly, Zhang Chong and Wei Jue liked the battle between black and white, it was not a secret, the two often played on the chessboard, in order to prevent others from disturbing, when the two played against each other, they usually sent the disciples away,

And Gu Ling'er and Huang Zun are only cultivating in their respective cave mansions, so there is really no need to send all the disciples away.

The saint turned her head and subconsciously looked at Shangguan Xiu, who smiled bitterly and shook her head imperceptibly at the saint, indicating that she couldn't see who had a problem and who had no problem.

Seeing this, the holy woman sighed secretly, rubbed her forehead tiredly, and said to the four great elders: "The four elders have been busy for most of the night, and they must be tired, so please go back to the four elders,"

"Holy Maiden—"

"I'm fine, not to mention that His Royal Highness Guogong is here, you elders don't have to worry,"

Gu Linger said: "Holy Maiden, these days, I will stay in the temple temporarily,"

The holy woman thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll bother Elder Laogu,"

"The goddess is polite,"

Huang Zun, Zhang Chong, and Wei Jue did not stay in the temple for a long time, and the three of them frowned, and left one after another with heavy hearts.

Tonight, the words of the saint are so shocking that it looks as if there is an invisible big hand, pushing the Divine Pool and the Xuanling Palace together.

So, who could be the one hidden among their four great elders?

The reason why the saint agreed to Gu Ling'er to live in the temple temporarily was first, because she was a woman, and it was relatively convenient to live in the temple, and second, Shangguan Xiu also said that Gu Linger was not the murderer of the cuckoo, and the person who killed the cuckoo must be a man.

In the main hall of the temple, only Shangguan Xiu, the Holy Maiden, and Gu Ling'er were left, the Holy Maiden stood in front of the shrine, Shangguan Xiu and Gu Ling'er stood on her left and right, for a while, the three of them were silent, and the atmosphere in the main hall became more and more dull.

In the end, it was Gu Linger who took the lead and said: "Your Highness is busy with official business, so it is not appropriate to delay in the Divine Pond for too long," to be exact, she didn't think that Shangguan Xiu should live in the temple,

Although there is no explicit rule in the temple, men are not allowed to move in, but at least they still have to avoid suspicion, no matter how prominent the identity of Shangguanxiu and the saint is, the former is a man after all, the latter is a woman after all, a man and a woman live together, it is inevitable to cause criticism,

Shangguan Xiu could hear what Gu Ling'er meant, he nodded solemnly, and said, "Tomorrow, I will return to the barracks, but I will select a few maids, stay in the temple, and protect the saint closely,"

As soon as these words came out, the saint and Gu Linger were both shocked, and Gu Linger said in a deep voice: "The imperial court sent maids to the temple to stay, and this kind of thing has never happened in the past,"

"No matter what happens, there must always be a precedent," Shangguan Xiu said: "The respect of the Holy Maiden is enough to compare with the emperor, the Holy Maiden's situation in the Divine Pond is dangerous, and the imperial court naturally has the responsibility to ensure the safety of the Holy Maiden,"

The emperor is the Son of Heaven, the Lady of Heaven, and the Holy Maiden, and he is the spokesperson of Heaven.

Gu Linger was extremely disgusted by Shangguan Xiu's decision to send maids to the temple, and felt that this was simply an insult to the temple of Shenchi, and she said with a straight face: "As long as the people of Shenchi are still there, as long as the people of Shenchi are not dead, I will ensure that the saint will not lose her ......."

Before she could finish speaking, Shangguan Xiu answered: "If I hadn't tested the poison tonight, the saint would still have her life now,"

This resounding rhetorical question, Gu Ling'er was speechless, and she couldn't find the right words to refute for a while, Shangguan Xiu took a deep breath and said: "I will naturally pay attention to the places that need to avoid suspicion, but I need to be foolproof places, I must pay more attention, in the future, the saint's diet will be taken care of by the maid I stationed, and until the real culprit is found, the maid I stationed will never leave the saint Maiden,"

Gu Ling'er couldn't say Shangguan Xiu, she turned her eyes to look at the Holy Maiden and asked, "What does the Holy Maiden think?"

The saint doesn't know what to do,

Now she really no longer trusts the maids in the temple, but if she wants Shangguan Xiu to send the maids to live in the temple, she feels that this is disrespectful to the divine pool, and after thinking about it, she suddenly burst out and said: "Elder Gu's cultivation has improved a lot recently,"

I didn't expect the saint to suddenly say such an inexplicable sentence, she was stunned for a moment before reacting, and said: "The big war is coming, naturally we need to redouble our efforts," she was not led away from the topic by the saint's words, and said: "The saint, if the court sends a maid to live in the temple, it is equivalent to showing the world that the god pool does not even have the ability to protect the saint, will it not be ridiculed by the world, although the saint is at ease, I am fully responsible for the safety of the saint in the future, if the saint is lost, I am willing to die to apologize,"

Gu Ling'er had talked to this point, and the holy woman couldn't avoid it anymore, she looked at Shangguan Xiu a little helplessly, the latter's eyes lowered, and said: "If the person I sent is also from the Divine Pool, how about it?"

I didn't expect Shangguan Xiu to say anything, when Gu Ling'er was pondering, the holy maiden had already preemptively said: "Don't fight anymore, let's settle it first, I'm also tired, Your Highness and Elder Gu go to rest early,"

"Congratulations to the Holy Maiden," Gu Linger gave her hand helplessly, and after the Holy Maiden left the main hall, Gu Linger turned around, looked at Shangguan Xiu, and asked: "What the Holy Maiden said today is all from His Highness's analysis,"

Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter whose analysis it comes from, what matters is whether the analysis makes sense,"

Gu Linger was silent,

Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly asked, "What does Elder Gu think of Elder Huang?"

Gu Linger's face changed suddenly, her eyes stared at Shangguan Xiu for a moment, and she said in a deep voice: "Before Your Highness has real evidence, I don't want Your Highness to suspect any of us for no reason," After speaking, without waiting for Shangguan Xiu to answer, she turned around and brushed her sleeves away,

Yes, this is another anger, Shangguan Xiu looked at Gu Ling'er's departing back, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised,

Tonight is very interesting, he has seen a lot of unknown side, it turns out that the saint is not a completely cold person, she will also have times of anger, it turns out that the great elder has not cultivated to the extent of cutting off the seven emotions and six desires, and there will be times when he is angry and ashamed,
