Shi Ziling said with a smile: "You know a lot about my soul **, it seems that it is not wrong that your 'Dark Path' and 'Dead Night Gate' belong to the same branch of the Demon Sect." ”

"Who said I'm going to kill you? I'm going to kill you, I can do it the last time I went to you to tell your fortune, so why wait until today. ”

Kong Mingzi smiled bitterly: "It turns out that the donor has already seen my identity last time, since I am the assassin who ambushed you last time, why didn't you deal with me earlier?"

Shi Ziling said: "You are just a killer who collects money to eliminate disasters for others, I already know who is the mastermind who bought the murderer and hired you to kill me, and will naturally deal with him, whether you are killed or not is not so important." What's more, the last conversation with you triggered some of my epiphany in martial arts, and I didn't have the intention to kill anyone. ”

Kong Mingzi sighed: "Master Shi Shi is kind-hearted, and there will be blessings in the future." However, even if you don't kill me, the old Taoist priest is afraid that he won't be able to survive for long. ”

Shi Ziling said: "I know that you are seriously injured, otherwise you would not have allowed that person from the Huang Ting Sect to kill and not resist just now." ”

Kong Mingzi shook his head and said, "It turns out that Master Shi has already come, and you heard the conversation we just had?"

Shi Ziling smiled: "What, did I hear something I shouldn't have heard?"

Sora Akiko was silent.

It turned out that after Shi Ziling heard Nangong Xia's account of the assassin from Su Fu, he immediately thought that this matter was done by Kong Mingzi and the killers of the Dark Dao, and the other generals led a group of soldiers to search door to door, but he went straight back to Longguan, wanting to ask Kong Mingzi in person who hired him to assassinate Nangong Xia.

Who knew that Lu Dao had just arrived outside the Huilong Temple, and he heard the sound of a broken window inside, Shi Ziling expanded his hearing, and immediately heard that two people had rushed out from behind the Taoist Temple. He felt that something was wrong, so he immediately followed the sound, and when he came to the bamboo forest, he silently hid not far away and listened to their conversation.

Kong Mingzi was seriously injured, and he didn't even notice the infiltration of Shiziling, the strength of the black-clothed man of the Huang Ting Sect was far from him, and because he was in the depths of the bamboo forest in the middle of the night, he didn't expect that someone would be watching at all.

Shi Ziling was already startled when he heard that the man in black was a member of the Huang Ting faction. He had heard Nangong Xia say that the Huangting faction was originally one of the three major branches of the Three Puritans, but it had been declining for two hundred years, and it had slowly been forgotten, but he didn't expect to meet one here, and he was also the employer who bought and killed Nangong Xia.

Listening to what they said, it seems that this person's purpose is not just to kill Nangong Xia, but to get a piece of Nangong Xia's body, and the jade pendant he mortgaged in Kong Mingzi can be exchanged for a copy of the Jade Buddha Temple?

"Illustrated?"

When Shi Ziling heard the word "illustration", he was indeed very shocked in his heart, but he didn't expect that in the depths of this bamboo forest, two assassins related to the assassination of Nangong Xia would talk about illustration. In addition to the illustration of "Nine Yuan Clearance, the Unity of Heaven and Man", he can't think of any other "illustration" worthy of these people's enthusiasm.

Listening to it, the man in black can go to the Jade Buddha Temple with the jade pendant to exchange for a diagram, and the nine out of ten things he wants to get from Nangong Xia should also be related to the diagram.

As for Kong Mingzi, as an important figure in the Dark Dao, since he knows the matter of the diagram of the Dark Dao, it can be seen that the Dark Dao is likely to also know the secret of the "Nine Yuan Clearance" of the Dark Dao. I really don't know how many sects and families are implicated in the legend of "Nine Yuan Clearance, Heaven and Man Unity".

When the man in black showed the "Shadowless Rainstorm Needle", Rao is Shiziling art master was bold, and he was really startled.

The power of this hidden weapon is too terrifying, last time he was able to dodge it because of the spiritual warning composed of magic and spiritual power in his body, but it was also because he was lucky enough, if he did it again, it was hard to say whether he could dodge it.

"It's not fun!"

Therefore, when the man in black shot to kill Kong Mingzi, Shi Ziling first knocked down the long sword in his hand with a silver coin, and then used the ninth-layer "Outer Heaven Demon Sound" magic skill to disturb his consciousness, and then used three forces to create an illusion to give him an illusion, and took advantage of the momentum to drum up Zhenyuan to kill him with one punch.

In these few rabbit ups and downs, Shi Ziling exerted the spiritual power of the soul dementor, the magic power contained in the body, and his own true yuan power to the extreme in a very short period of time, just to prevent the man in black from having the opportunity to use the "Shadowless Rainstorm Needle".

Shi Ziling was about to ask Kong Mingzi in detail about the jade pendant and the illustration, when a human voice faintly came from outside the bamboo forest. Shi Ziling came to the body of the man in black, put all the "Shadowless Rainstorm Needle" and jade pendants and other items on his body into his arms, and then returned to Kong Mingzi and asked in a low voice, "How are your injuries, can you still walk?"

Kong Mingzi's eyes were closed and silent, Shi Ziling asked again, Kong Mingzi still did not respond, and when he looked carefully, he realized that he had passed out.

Shi Ziling caught Kong Mingzi's pulse, separated a line of Zhenyuan to carefully observe the operation of the meridians in his body, and found that his injuries were similar to Nangong Xia's, and he was also blocked in many meridians after suffering internal injuries, and Zhenyuan was completely scattered.

Shi Ziling thought about it, this assassination of Nangong Xia was related to the secret of the "Nine Yuan Clearance", this secret was not trivial, and even Nangong Xia almost lost his life for it. He himself also has a few customs clearance illustrations, and now that he has obtained the jade pendant related to this, he naturally doesn't want to publicize this matter, so as not to lead to death.

However, if the dark messenger of Kong Mingzi is handed over to Su Bairen or the Nangong family, I am afraid that he will not only become the target of public criticism, but also affect many people who care about him.

Although it is the easiest way to kill Ku Mingzi, it seems a little unreasonable to kill this old Taoist priest who doesn't really want to kill in order to keep his secret.

When Shi Ziling was hesitating, the voices outside the bamboo forest were gradually approaching.

Shi Ziling expanded his hearing, and immediately heard that a team of defenders responsible for searching this area had searched this place.

I only heard someone say: "General Wang, Poor Dao got up to pee before, as if he heard a noise in the Taoist temple, and then he heard a voice running in the direction of this bamboo forest, and it vaguely seemed to hear someone screaming behind him." Poor Dao was a little scared, and he didn't know what was going on, so you came to search, so I took you here to take a look. ”

"Well, this is the bamboo forest, if you want to find an assassin, you can go inside, you don't dare to go in. ”

The general said, "Little Taoist, are you sure you heard the sound and ran this way? ”

The little Taoist priest said: "Don't dare, don't dare, Poor Dao obviously heard a strange sound coming out, and then he heard someone running towards this side." Although the martial arts of the poor road are not high, the ear power is still good. ”

The general Wang hesitated to go into the bamboo forest to see what was going on, but the assassins they searched for were said to be very strong, and even Nangong Xia, the head of the Nangong family, almost lost his life, although he heard that the assassin was also injured, but he asked himself about his own little catty, he really didn't know the bottom of his heart, so he had to discuss countermeasures with the sergeants around him.

The stone tomb inside had already heard that General Wang was Wang Sheng, the general of his southern camp, and he didn't dare to come in easily for a while after hearing his meaning, and thought about it, since he didn't want to kill Kong Mingzi, and didn't want to hand him over, he had to hide him first.

Shi Ziling immediately ran to the deepest part of the bamboo forest, took up Xuangong, dug a big pit on the spot, took Kong Mingzi's body and buried it in the pit, and then filled the pit, only exposing Kong Mingzi's mouth and nose, and then found some dead branches and weeds to cover it. In this way, not to mention at night, even in broad daylight, if you don't deliberately look for it, it will be difficult to find Kumeiko hiding here for a while.

It had just been done, and the people outside probably heard that there was indeed a sound inside, and finally decided to come in and take a look. I only heard Wang Sheng shouting outside: "Who is hiding in the bamboo forest in the middle of the night, don't come out quickly!"

Shi Ziling said in a loud voice: "Is it General Wang Shengwang outside? I am Shi Ziling, I have found an assassin here, and he has been killed, you come in." ”

Wang Sheng heard that it was Shi Ziling's voice, and he was relieved. Shi Ziling was already the number one master in the minds of the defenders of the city, and even if the assassin was not injured, it would be no big deal.

Wang Sheng immediately led people into the bamboo forest, and Shi Ziling greeted him and said, "General Wang, why are you, are you responsible for searching this area?"

Wang Sheng said: "Yes, I led people to search all the way to Huilongguan, and the little Taoist priest in the temple said that he heard someone running towards the bamboo forest here, so I asked him to lead the way to take a look." His grandmother's, it's dark in the bamboo forest in the middle of the night, I'm really a little worried, but fortunately, General Shi, you're here. Did you catch the assassin?"

Shi Ziling pointed to the body of the man in black on the ground and said, "Oh, it's him." I also happened to pass by Huilongguan, and heard an abnormal sound coming from the Taoist temple, so I went in to check, and then followed the sound to this bamboo forest, and I met this person hiding in the bamboo forest. ”

"I saw that this man was suspicious, so I followed up and asked, but this guy didn't speak, but stabbed me with a sword. I had no choice but to fight him, and I finally beat him to death. ”

"You guys bring a lantern to take a picture, who the hell is this guy?"

One of the sergeants with lanterns hurriedly came over to take care of the corpse, and Wang Sheng also came over to take a look, shook his head and said: "This person is very faced, it seems that he is not from this city, I don't know where it is sacred." It must be not simple to dare to assassinate Nangong Xia. Fortunately, I met General Shi, and if we did, I don't know who died in Lu Dao, Ha Lu Ha ......"

Shi Ziling said: "I was thinking about what to do with this corpse, you are here just in time, just help me take him back to the city guard mansion and hand him over to Lord Su to dispose of, and I can continue to search in front." ”

"Anyway, I've carefully inspected this bamboo forest, and there's no one else except this guy, so after you take the corpse out of the coffin, continue to walk to the left, and I'll go to the right road, hoping to find something before dawn." ”

At that moment, Wang Sheng took a few sergeants to carry the body out of the city, and then they went to the left, Shiziling to the right, and everyone went their separate ways.
