Chapter 284: Who's Doing It?
Xuanyu Plain, in the attic where the pious Taoist priests lived.
"Ye Kui, open the door, it's me, I brought some food by the way when I came back, these fruits are quite delicious, you should try them."
At this time, Jiang Zhijin's voice came from outside the room where Ye Kui was.
"You're so idle, you thought you were just talking, but you went for a meal right away."
Ye Kui answered Jiang Zhijin and opened the door of the room at the same time.
At this time, Ye Kui saw Jiang Zhijin happily standing outside the door carrying a large basket of fruits.
"I'll take a few, and you'll take the rest of the fruit yourself."
Ye Kui doesn't like to eat fruit very much, but prefers wine and tea.
So Ye Kui stretched out and picked up four different fruits from the bamboo basket that Jiang Zhijin was carrying.
"Ye Kui, this whole basket is yours, I have eaten a lot just now, and now I can't eat anything else at all."
Jiang Zhijin said that he directly took the first step to put the fruit basket in his hand on the table, and then Jiang Zhijin sat casually on the stool next to the table.
"Zhi Jin, what else is going on with you?"
Ye Kui felt that Jiang Zhijin should be holding back a bunch of words and wanted to say it, but he didn't know how to speak, so Ye Kui took the initiative to ask Jiang Zhijin.
"Ye Kui, you can sit down first, and then listen to me explain to you slowly."
After Jiang Zhijin finished speaking to Ye Kui, he pointed to the stool opposite him.
"Ye Kui, you can taste this fruit first, anyway, I think it tastes good, these have been cleaned by the Jiuxuanmen monk who is in charge of eating in this attic."
"It's fine."
When Ye Kui heard Jiang Zhijin say this, he had no choice but to stretch out and pick up a certain fruit on the table that lived in the blueberry team and ate it.
"Ye Kui, I seem to have heard that one of the four demon cultivators who participated in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference has arrived, and this demon cultivator team is surrounded by other participating monks."
"Oh, and what about the result?"
Hearing Jiang Zhijin say this, Ye Kui was also a little curious about whether the demon cultivation team would fight with other monks.
"I don't know about this, I've only heard so much, Ye Kui, should we go and join in the fun?"
"Zhi Jin, you seem to have forgotten your bet with the Sword Hui Gate Yuan? What if one of the monks recognizes you and laughs at you again? I'm not going to teach them a lesson."
Although Ye Kui really wanted to go to the scene to have a look, Ye Kui suddenly remembered Jiang Zhijin's situation, so he asked Jiang Zhijin like this.
"That's right for you to say that, then I won't go, Ye Kui, you go and see for yourself, and then come back and tell me the result."
"I'll see it myself? Or we'll have to wait for news from the other monks?"
"Ye Kui, you have already put on a fake face, no one knows you, how can it be like me, now as you said, many people want to laugh at me in person.
However, only some of the monks from the large immortal sect dared to do this, but at least half of the monks from the large immortal sect who came to this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference."
Jiang Zhijin meant to let Ye Kui continue to take a look at the situation of the demon cultivation team.
"That's it, then I'll go and see the situation, I hope that when I get over there, the demon cultivation team hasn't been taken to a resting place by the Nine Xuanmen monks."
Then Ye Kui left this attic and flew towards the place where he and Jiang Zhijin had landed in the flying magic boat before.
When Ye Kui came to a place where the flying magic boats were neatly parked, Ye Kui didn't see the so-called demon cultivation team, some of the surrounding monks had just come down from the flying magic boats, and some monks had already followed the other Nine Xuanmen monks in other directions.
"Although it's late, there are still some demonic spirits left in here, it seems that there are indeed a lot of demon cultivators here not long ago, and those demon cultivators seem to have almost done something with other monks."
Ye Kui looked at the cracked stones on the ground around him
The bricks and the shape of a certain ship in the distance looked at the flying magic boat that was incompatible with other flying magic boats.
"This fellow Daoist, please let me go."
At this time, a voice came from behind Ye Kui, and then Ye Kui turned around and saw that there were several monks from the Nine Xuanmen with a large group of monks who were about to go towards him.
"I'm sorry, Daoyou, I was thinking about something just now."
After Ye Kui answered the other side, he took a few steps to the side, making way for those Nine Xuanmen monks and another group of monks.
"I don't know if that flying magic boat was built by the demon cultivator himself or by the monk."
When he saw those monks leaving here, Ye Kui planned to quietly go around to one of the two flying magic boats that obviously belonged to demon cultivators to take a look.
After a while, Ye Kui had already gone up to the deck of one of the two flying magic boats that belonged to the demon cultivators.
"It looks like an ordinary flying magic boat here, that is, from a distance, it is quite different from the monk's flying magic boat, could it be that the flying magic boat that the demon cultivator is riding also relies on spirit stones to operate?
If this is really the case, then the core area of this flying magic boat should be engraved with a large number of runes like the monk's flying magic boat, since Li Hua can learn so many magic circles and prohibitions, then it is indeed possible that this flying magic boat was built by the demon cultivators themselves."
Then Ye Kui took a walk around the deck of this flying magic boat that belonged to the demon cultivator, and just as Ye Kui was about to leave this flying magic boat, the tail area of this flying magic boat suddenly sounded the sound of some wooden planks breaking.
Although the volume of those sounds was negligible, Ye Kui also sensed that there was someone like himself who was scurrying around in other areas of this flying magic boat.
"One of the doors of this flying law Zhoushan seems to have been pried open."
However, Ye Kui thought that the other party planned to fish for something on this flying method, rather than just coming for sightseeing like himself.
"It has nothing to do with me, this matter should be the responsibility of the Nine Xuanmen monks."
Ye Kui glanced over there, then turned around and left the flying magic boat.
Not long after Ye Kui left, several wooden planks cracked from the flying magic boat belonging to the demon cultivator.
After a few sticks of incense, a monk quickly left the place, and from the smiling eyes of the monk when he left here, it could be seen that the other party should have made a big profit.
After that, the monk who left the flying magic boat did not jump towards the other flying magic boat that belonged to the demon cultivator, but immediately jumped towards the flying magic boat closest to him.
And that flying magic boat belongs to the monk, it seems that the monk is not only eyeing the flying magic boat of the demon cultivator, then the flying magic boat of other monks should also be patronized by that monk.
It stands to reason that the monks of the Nine Xuanmen should have sent many monks to guard these flying magic boats, but as a result, there was not even a single monk of the Nine Xuanmen near these flying magic boats.
After a while, Ye Kui came to the place where a group of monks gathered, and Ye Kui heard that there was some noise here before he thought about coming over to see if the other demon cultivation teams had arrived.
"The smell of blood? Could it be that there is a fight?"
As Ye Kui approached the edge of the monks who were gathered around, he smelled a smell of blood.
"Who's doing it?"
"Look at ***! I also just took a closer look, you can go directly to the Jiuxuanmen monk for this kind of thing, after all, the Jiuxuanmen is in charge of this place."
"I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, in the past, there didn't seem to be a monk who suddenly died inexplicably in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference that hadn't started yet, right?"
"What do the Nine Xuanmen monks eat? Obviously, this time it was the Nine Xuanmen who was responsible for arranging the place for this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, so they should have arranged for other Nine Xuanmen monks to patrol everywhere."
Tens of thousands of monks from different immortal sects and sects gathered around a male monk who had fallen to the ground, and the ground around the monk lying on the ground was also dyed red.
The monks first watched and communicated with each other, and then mentioned the Nine Xuanmen.
"A monk died?
」
Ye Kui understood what the monks who were gathered around him said.
"Who knew that there would be such a guy who dared to make trouble secretly at the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, the monks who came to participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference in the past were all very honest.
After all, the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference was supervised and initiated by all the large immortal sects on the Tianque Continent, isn't it looking for trouble in this matter?"
"Hehe, that's before."
"It seems that some guys really don't know the height of the sky, and they really think that they can still escape after assassinating other monks at the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference?"
"Look, those turtle-like creatures are finally here."
While the other monks were still communicating, one of the monks pointed in a certain direction.
"Fellow Daoists, let go, let go, if you can, please stay away from that... The corpse."
When the monks of the Nine Xuanmen came to the scene, they first persuaded the monks who were gathered around to disperse.
"Huh, the corpse? You Nine Xuanmen monks are very good at determining life and death, but if you weren't so negligent before, how could this happen?"
"Now only you Jiuxuanmen are responsible for arranging this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference that has gone wrong, see how you Jiuxuanmen monks explain to other large immortal sects,"
"Let's push it back, the top priority is to rescue the murderer, not blindly accuse, and the matter of asking for guilt will naturally be carried out later."
"It's okay, now we should concentrate and be vigilant around us, and don't give that murderer another chance to strike,"
There were also some calmer monks at the scene, and they also began to persuade the other monks to let the Jiuxuanmen monks inspect the situation here first.
So the monks who were surrounding the body of a certain monk finally dispersed, and then the monks of the Nine Xuanmen Sect immediately walked towards the bloody corpse of the monk lying on the ground.
At this time, Ye Kui clarified the death status of the monk's corpse.
"It seems that he was injured by a sharp weapon, and he was killed by a single blow, the monk's eyes were staring, and it is estimated that he saw something very puzzled when he died, or that he was killed by an acquaintance."
Ye Kui looked at the corpse of the monk lying on the ground from a distance for a while, and then thought about the possible situation.
"Hey, have you found out, the reason why this kind of thing didn't happen in the previous Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference was because at least the people who participated in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference at that time were at least monks."
"Fellow Daoist, do you suspect that Fellow Daoist's death is related to those demon cultivators who came to participate in this Heavenly Que Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference?"
"That's a bit of a coincidence."
"I think so too, it's really too coincidental, at the beginning, the Nine Xuanmen monks should have sent other monks to monitor those demon cultivators who came to the Xuanyu Plain to participate in the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference."
"This... This matter has not yet been investigated, so why are you jumping to conclusions?"
This caused some monks to begin to screen for possible murderers, and soon circled the general identity of the murderer, but some monks did not agree to be convicted arbitrarily.
"Yo, how do you exonerate demon cultivators? Besides, we just said that there was a possibility, and we didn't mean that it was necessarily the demon cultivator who killed the monk."
"Maybe it's going to be another matter, but I also think it's more likely that the demon cultivators will start, after all, the monks in the Immortal Sect and the sect have participated in and understood the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, and they all know the rules, and they also know that they will be held accountable by the large Immortal Gate for doing things at this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference."
"Yes, yes, anyway, I won't come here at the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, besides, even the monks who fight reasonably at the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference know that they can't hurt each other's lives.
So I think it's very likely that our monk will assassinate a monk at the Heavenly Que Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, unless... Unless that monk or the immortal sect or sect behind that monk is ready to be cleaned up."
While the monks of the Nine Xuanmen Sect were still observing the corpse of the monk, the topics of discussion among the surrounding monks remained the same, and these cultivators
The scholars began to speak their minds.
"Most of the monks around seem to think that the murderer is a demon cultivator, only a few monks think that they should wait for the matter to be investigated before making a conclusion, I don't know what the monks of the Nine Xuanmen think?
However, it stands to reason that the monks of the Nine Xuanmen should immediately send other monks to inform the other large immortal sects about the matter here, or directly use the sound transmission jade pendant to inform the other large immortal sects.
But I see that those Nine Xuanmen monks didn't do this, I know that they have been talking about something in a low voice now, and there are a few monks who look like the elders of the Nine Xuanmen Sect have very hesitant faces, what did they find?"
Ye Kui first continued to listen to what the monks around him were discussing, and then Ye Kui looked at the Nine Xuanmen monks who surrounded the body of the monk on the ground again, and then Ye Kui also noticed something.
Finally, after half a burn of incense, the Nine Xuanmen covered the body of the monk on the ground with a white cloth, and then a monk from the Nine Xuanmen was instructed to pick up the body of the monk, and finally the body of the monk was carried by the group of Nine Xuanmen monks and walked in a certain direction.
"You guys from the Nine Xuanmen just left? Explain it." :
"That's right, fellow Daoist of the Nine Xuanmen, is it useless for you to find out at all?"
"Will they find anything? That's why you're going to take the monk's body somewhere else without saying a word?"
"There is a possibility, just now I seem to have seen a few Jiuxuanmen untie the shirt of the dead male monk, and put their fingers in the mouth of the monk's corpse."
"I also seem to have seen that when those Nine Xuanmen monks picked up the body of that monk, a few Nine Xuanmen sword cultivators were also reprimanded by other Nine Xuanmen monks, and there seemed to be a disagreement between them."
"And this? Just now, when those Nine Xuanmen monks were observing that monk's corpse, they deliberately let the other Nine Xuanmen monks block our view, so I didn't see those Nine Xuanmen monks doing anything around that monk's corpse."
The surrounding monks were a little puzzled when they saw that the Nine Xuanmen monks were about to leave with the monk's body, and some of the monks also asked the Nine Xuanmen monks to give some explanations, and a very small number of monks also said that they had just unintentionally seen some small actions of the Nine Xuanmen monks.
"Please also ask all Daoists to be calm, we are also very surprised that this kind of thing has happened now, we will hurry up to investigate the situation, and we promise to rescue the culprit who is still this Daoist before the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference begins, and give an explanation to everyone at the scene."
One of the elders of the Nine Xuanmen monks who were about to leave here with the monk's body responded to the monks around him and ordered the other Nine Xuanmen monks to leave here.
The other monks around wanted to continue to ask after hearing the elder of the Nine Xuanmen say this, but those monks of the Nine Xuanmen who carried the corpse of the dead monk not only walked fast, but the other Nine Xuanmen monks came faster.
As a result, this area was directly surrounded by a large number of Nine Xuanmen monks, and the ground stained with the blood of the dead monks was also surrounded by dozens of Nine Xuanmen monks alone.
What's more, the flying magic boats of other immortal sects, sects, and demon cultivators that had been ignored by the Jiuxuanmen monks before were also surrounded by the Jiuxuanmen monks, with the purpose of preventing anyone or demons on the scene from leaving the Xuanyu Plain in the flying magic boat.
In this way, it seems that the monks of the Nine Xuanmen also attach great importance to the matter of the dead monks, and directly mobilize nearly half of the monks of the Nine Xuanmen for this purpose.
The monks of the different immortal sects around saw this formation of the Nine Xuanmen before swallowing the words that were supposed to scold the Nine Xuanmen into their stomachs.
After all, as long as the monks on the scene had a little eyesight, they could see that the Nine Xuanmen Sect would indeed find out the murderer who killed a certain monk before the Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference officially began.
"This fellow Daoist, excuse me, do you know which immortal sect or sect that dead monk belonged to?"
When the surrounding monks calmed down a little, Ye Kui asked a monk in front of him in a low voice.
"I have an impression of the clothes that the dead monk was wearing, and if I'm not mistaken, the dead monk should have come from the middle
Immortal Gate Array Minmen."
"A monk from the Jinmin Gate? I've never heard of this immortal gate."
Hearing the monk in front of him say this, Ye Kui found that he had no impression of this immortal sect at all.
"Fellow Daoist, you should have noticed it just now, under normal circumstances, the monks who saw the corpse of their fellow disciples should take the initiative to guard the corpse, and they would also angrily and loudly ask the surrounding monks or Jiuxuanmen monks why their fellow disciples and brothers died suddenly.
But none of the monks did that just now, and no monk came forward to say that the dead monks were their fellow disciples and brothers, fellow Daoists, what do you think of this situation?"
Ye Kui thought for a while before continuing to ask the strange monk in front of him.
"There's a little truth to what you say, huh? Indeed, oh, why didn't the monk come and claim the dead monk? Could it be that the dead monk hid from his fellow disciples and brothers, and then sneaked out of the residence that the Nine Xuanmen had arranged for them to live in the Immortal Sect?"
The monk told Ye Kui what he thought.
"It's possible that there are no other monks at the scene who came forward to claim the dead monk's body."
When Ye Kui replied to the monk in front of him, he also thought that he had also left the residence arranged by Jiuxuanmen for himself and Jiang Zhijin and the other Qianxi Taoist priests and came here.
However, the difference is that Ye Kui discussed it with Jiang Zhijin when he came here, and Ye Kui's self-preservation ability was by no means comparable to that monk from the medium-sized Immortal Sect Array Minmen.
"I'm sorry, fellow Daoist, my senior brother is calling me over."
After the monk standing in front of Ye Kui said this, he walked towards the monk pile in a certain direction without waiting for Ye Kui to respond.
So Ye Kui had no choice but to dispel the idea of continuing to ask.
"If the Nine Xuanmen can really catch that guy who committed murder in the Xuanyu Plain before the start of this Tianque Ten Thousand Souls Fighting Law Conference, then it would be fine.
However, if the Nine Xuanmen Sect does not do what they promised the other monks here just now, then it will not only make the monks on the scene anxious and panicked, but also give the murderer hidden among us a chance to continue his murder."
Ye Kui looked at the monks of the different immortal sects and sects that were gradually dispersing around him, and then looked at the other Nine Xuanmen monks who were still guarding the edge of this area and those who were about to die and were surrounded by slightly coagulated blood.
"It shouldn't be useful to keep those flying boats parked on the ground, right? By the way, I don't know if the Nine Xuanmen monks guarding those flying boats caught the guy who stole in those flying boats."
Finally, Ye Kui looked at the area where the Flying Dharma Boat had been to not long ago, and now there were many Nine Xuanmen monks standing there.
"Next, it depends on whether the efficiency of the Nine Xuanmen monks is high or low, so I will go back to the attic first, and then tell Zhi Jin what happened here by the way, maybe Zhi Jin will find out something additional after hearing this."
Ye Kui thought of this before leaving this area.
At this time, no one noticed that there was also an extra monk's corpse in the bottom warehouse of one of the flying magic boats surrounded by the monks of the Nine Xuanmen Sect.
If Ye Kui saw the corpse of this monk, then Ye Kui would definitely recognize from the other party's figure that this dead monk was the guy who had stolen from these flying magic boats before.
On top of that, the dead monk's fist-shaped right hand was still clutching a small piece of rags of clothing that had been torn from whom.
And in a certain room in the attic of one of the other immortal monks temporarily living in the Xuanyu Plain, there was a monk who was taking off his coat, which was stained with some blood and missing a mouthful, and threw it into the burning brazier on the side.
"Kill one more."
So the monk lay down on the bed in front of him and fell asleep.
