Chapter 166: Flying Knives

Qi Jianyuan is dead, Qi Xuansu is the first to find out, even if Sun Hewu, the real person in charge of the palace, has made up his mind, and the murderer's body has also been found, there are still some rumors, thinking that Qi Xuansu is quite suspicious, after all, he had a holiday with Qi Jianyuan, and even fought because of it, which is something that many people can see.

As for the dead female teacher, she said that she was a demon who secretly formed an association, but there was no real evidence, or there was tangible evidence, but for various reasons, it was not announced.

So there are rumors that it is a murder because of love, and it is said that there is a nose and an eye, saying that the two were originally a couple, and they have reached the age of marriage, and the female teacher is old and eager to get married, but Qi Jianyuan has a bright future, young and promising, but he doesn't want to get married immediately, the female teacher Xi has repeatedly forced marriage, Qi Jianyuan came to see the female teacher this time, just to discuss the matter, but the two have a deep contradiction, and they fought without saying a word, and finally died together.

Because Qi Jianyuan was born in the Qi family and inherited from a prominent family, in order to cover up the scandal, he used various connections to describe this female teacher who is usually kind to people as a demon with a secret association.

Regarding these rumors, Qi Xuansu didn't care at all, or didn't care about it, at this time, in the huge square of Qianyuan, Qi Xuansu finally met Yao Pei, who was belated.

The two sat at opposite ends of the same stone bench.

Yao Pei didn't see much shock because of his cultivation of the "Taishang Forgetfulness Sutra", but he could still hear one or two from his words: "This matter is really beyond my expectations." ”

Judging from Yao Pei's behavior of meeting Qi Xuansu in a dream, she did not plan to return to the upper palace immediately, but to stay in the lower palace for a while, but this accident happened and she had to come back early.

Qi Xuansu said: "Aren't you 'Heavenly Calculation'?" I thought everything was under your control. ”

"It seems that my 'Heavenly Calculation' cultivation is not yet at home." Yao Pei said expressionlessly, "Tell me what you think." ”

Qi Xuansu first recounted his experience completely, and then said: "From the time my Yin God returned to his body to the time I myself arrived at the scene, it was about the time of a stick of incense, and only the time of this stick of incense was out of my sight, and as a result, both of them died, and I don't think it was like they died together." ”

Yao Pei said thoughtfully: "What do you mean is that female sect Xi killed Qi Jianyuan, and then when she wanted to escape, she was killed by others. ”

Qi Xuansu said: "I can't rule out this possibility, judging from the situation before I left, Qi Jianyuan didn't have the ability to kill that female teacher at all." ”

Yao Pei said: "From the time you left to the time you returned, it only took a stick of incense. Let's assume that our speculation is true, if there is really a murderer, just when you leave, the murderer arrives, and you pass by, it is too much of a coincidence. Then it is more likely that the murderer has been hiding on the side, and after you left, he used Qi Jianyuan's flying sword to kill the female teacher. As for why the murderer wanted to kill people, it is not difficult to guess the reason, one is that the formation of the Vientiane Dao Palace is isolated from the inside and outside, and she can't escape at all, and the other is that her vitality is greatly damaged, even if there is no formation to block it, she can't escape far. Rather than letting her fall into the hands of the Daomen and be touched by the Daomen, it is better for the gecko to cut off its tail and save the others. ”

Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "This is reasonable. ”

Yao Pei continued: "Let's continue to assume that this speculation about killing people is true, so did this murderer find your peeping? If it's not a coincidence, but he deliberately waited for you to leave, then does it mean that the two of you know each other? Or that the murderer is very famous in the Vientiane Dao Palace, and many people recognize him, because the incident happened in a hurry, he didn't have time to disguise more, and he was not sure that he would kill your Yin God with one blow, so he could only act like this. ”

Qi Xuansu agreed: "At that time, Qi Jianyuan and the two were already at the end of the crossbow, and if they wanted to kill people and destroy their mouths, they didn't need to have a high level of cultivation, if this person was not sure that he would kill me with one blow, it would make sense." In this way, the range will be much smaller. ”

Yao Pei kept pinching his knuckles with his thumb: "The key is how to confirm our first hypothesis, that is, there really is such a murderer." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "The female teacher died under Qi Jianyuan's flying sword, if someone else really used this sword to kill the female teacher, there will definitely be some traces." ”

Yao Pei asked, "What about the flying sword?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "It should be at Sun Lao Zhenren's." ”

Yao Pei got up and said: "I'll go to see Sun Lao Zhenren, no matter what, when a person dies, there must be an explanation." ”

Qi Xuansu also got up: "What about me?" ”

Yao Pei glanced at him: "This matter has nothing to do with you, what should you do." ”

Qi Xuansu asked again: "How did you handle the matter of the lower palace?" ”

Yao Pei said: "I can't take care of it for the time being, I originally wanted to finish my work in one battle and wipe out all these people, but now it seems that it is no longer realistic, and it depends on what the master says." I now want to focus on verifying the cause of Qi Jianyuan's death, the sealing of the Vientiane Dao Palace has been a tradition for many years, during the closure period, it is reasonable for one or two people to come in, if it is a large-scale to send people in, this will break the rules, and it will immediately spread throughout the entire Dao Gate, so for a while, the master will not send people in again. However, there are pros and cons in everything, and now that there is such a case, Vientiane Dao Palace will definitely strengthen its control, and the people inside will not be able to get out, this is an excellent opportunity, if our guess just now is true, then I will catch this big fish with my own hands. ”

Qi Xuansu thought for a while and said: "Anyway, Qi Jianyuan died for the Daomen, although I had a conflict with him, but everything is empty when people die, and it is all over, so count me in." ”

Yao Pei glanced at Qi Xuansu: "You will have such a good heart?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Of course I don't have such a good heart, I am taking care of both public and private affairs." I suddenly figured out one thing, the statue of the Holy Prophet at the bottom of Hoshino Lake, the target is too big, it's really hard to do it, even if you succeed, it's easy to expose, and this kind of thing belongs to the corner of the wall of the digging door, if you really want to do this, isn't it the same as the people of Taiping Dao? I can also be regarded as reining in the precipice, and I repented. However, these demons of the Purple Light Society may have divine power in their bodies. ”

Yao Pei looked at Qi Xuansu: "You are conscious, why don't you usually see it?" ”

Qi Xuansu pointed out: "If necessary, I can be more conscious." There is a saying that if you treat him as a countryman, I will repay him with a countryman. There is another sentence, which seems to be said by the Confucian Yasheng, the king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as a wolf. I will repay them as they treat me. Pei Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren are willing to promote me, of course I have to stand on their side. Zhang Qingxiao did not underestimate me because of my humble background, but treated me equally and sincerely, and I was able to give up my life for her. Qi Niang treats me as a son, so I treat her as my own mother. Qingxiao has a saying that is very right, you can not be a saint and a perfect person, or you can not be a good person, but you don't want to be a villain. ”

Yao Pei shook his head and said: "It's still the case that a scholar dies for a confidant, how can you achieve great things if you position yourself as a 'scholar'?" ”

Qi Xuansu said with a smile: "I am a Taoist priest of Buyiye, if I don't want to be a scholar, do I still want to be a gentleman?" ”

Yao Pei didn't say anything more, and instead said, "Then even if you are one, I will go to see Sun Lao Zhenren first." ”

Qi Xuansu was puzzled: "Are you sure that you can find that subtle trace that may or may not exist through the flying sword?" ”

Yao Pei looked at him with the eyes of a fool: "I don't have such a ability, but Sun Lao Zhenren has such a ability, I just need to give his old man a wake-up call, and the rest of the things will naturally be done by him, no matter what the result is, it is more convincing than I personally verify." ”

Qi Xuansu was choked, waved his hand, and deliberately said in the tone of an elder: "Go, Sun Lao Zhenren should be in his signature room." ”

Yao Pei turned around and left without hesitation.

Qi Xuansu looked at Yao Pei's back and whispered, "It's not big or small, just talk to your uncle like this." ”

Yao Pei, who had already walked a distance, seemed to hear Qi Xuansu's words, suddenly stopped, then turned sideways slightly and raised his hand.

A cold light flashed.

The speed was so fast, Qi Xuansu not only didn't see clearly, but didn't even have time to react, he only felt that his cheeks were cold, and a few strands of hair fell slowly.

The wound is not deep, and it is even more insignificant for Qi Xuansu, who has flesh and blood derivative supernatural powers, but this kind of speed and accuracy surprised Qi Xuansu, even more so than a flying sword. He turned his head sharply to look, only to see a small flying knife submerged into the stone pillar not far away, leaving only the hilt still exposed.

Yao Pei didn't mean to take back the flying knife, and turned straight away.

Qi Xuansu came to the stone pillar, and it took a lot of effort to pull out the flying knife, and muttered, "Such a 'heavenly knife'? ”

Then Qi Xuansu tried the material of this flying knife again, it is not a treasure, not even a spiritual object, it is almost the same as the "thin tiger knife" of the Qingluan guards, but after such a knife leaves his hand, it can still pierce into the stone pillar with a special material, which shows that the horror of Yao Pei's flying knife is by no means comparable to Qi Xuansu's "sword control technique".

Qi Xuansu held the flying knife in his hand, the blade facing the palm of his hand.

In the absence of external force, it is difficult to hurt his body with the blade of the throwing knife alone.

But after Yao Pei applied an external force, he easily cut through Qi Xuansu's skin.

Qi Xuansu reached out and touched the wound that had healed.

If this knife is not a warning that is heavier, but comes at his throat, if this ordinary flying knife is replaced with a spiritual object or a treasure, is it only a knife to kill people below the heavenly realm?

Qi Xuansu's little ambition to beat Qi Jianyuan was gone.

If his opponent is not Qi Jianyuan, but Yao Pei, I am afraid that he will lose badly. Even if Yao Pei didn't use the "Gong Candle Cane", Qi Xuansu felt that he didn't have much chance of winning. If she used the "Gong Candle Cane", I am afraid that Zhang Yuelu would not be able to fight her.

If Yao Pei is allowed to face that female teacher, only one person is enough.
