For a while, there was a commotion in all directions, Pei Ye raised his sword and rushed down, and Gan Zifeng, who was sitting in the corner, was one step faster, and had already raised his card and crashed into the inner circle: "Xianqiao Peak can leave two people, and the rest of the people should not enter within three zhang!" ”

He immediately turned his head and pointed: "Zhao Cheng, stop people!" No one is allowed to approach Zhang Jingbi - Lord Xu Feng!! ”

The woman she had seen before was stopped at a distance of three feet, and a young man had stopped in front of her.

Gan Zifeng looked around and said in a cold voice: "There is something strange, the Law Enforcement Hall here takes over, don't make it difficult for your fellow disciples." ”

The people of the Law Enforcement Hall who had been hiding in the shadows around had already arrived, and Xu Shang's body stood in place trembling slightly, his face was blank and pale, and his sword was clenched tightly.

Pei Li stepped forward and looked at the scene without saying a word.

Thanks to Gan Zifeng's quick response, no extra people approached. At this time, this piece of Xuan Qi has been isolated, Yan Caiyue has not yet passed out, the broken arm and abdominal wound have been sealed, and the blood is dripping with two shocking pieces, his face is pale, pain and confusion appear on his face at the same time, and he seems to be unable to accept the picture in front of him.

The man kneeling beside him should be the elder of the family, and he couldn't see his expression clearly when he lowered his head at this time, but Pei Ye could feel a deep coldness when he stood two feet away.

On the other side, Zhang Jingbi did not move after being knocked to the ground by the palm wind, looking at the young man surrounded by the crowd in a dazed and panicked manner, and the three people from the Law Enforcement Hall were already standing around him with cold faces.

The vein tree is indeed broken." The person in the medical hall stood up at this time, and his voice was solemn, "The injury is very serious. I'm afraid."

"Impossible!" Xu Shang stepped forward and screamed, "How could Jing Bi shatter his vein tree!" ”

The kneeling man turned his head sharply, a pair of eyes staring at her fiercely.

Gan Zifeng moved two steps and cut off the sight of the two with his body: "The medical hall will not make a mistake in this simple judgment, what is the matter, the law enforcement hall will investigate fairly, you don't need to say more meaningless words." ”

Gan Zifeng put down this passage, turned around and looked around at the people who were looking at the people in Sitai, and said in a majestic voice: "Caiwu Peak Zhang Jingbi was injured on the sword platform due to personal anger, and he was temporarily detained in the Law Enforcement Hall. Yan Caiyue had no worries about his life, and continued after pausing for half an hour on the sword, the sword had no eyes, and the follow-up disciples should pay more attention. ”

The medical hall and the law enforcement hall took the two away respectively, Zhang Jingbi's face was pale, and he was dumbfounded in panic: "I, I don't know my mother, I don't!" ”

Xu Sheng hurriedly stepped forward, Gan Zifeng frowned again, and had already raised his arm and put the sword in front of her: "Lord Xu Feng!" ”

Xu Sheng stood with a white face.

Gan Zifeng said solemnly: "You also have to be investigated, pay attention to avoid suspicion." ”

“.”

"It's a coincidence." Gan Zifeng walked out of the medical hall, and the young man beside him said in a low voice.

Gan Zifeng was noncommittal, and returned to the sidelines to look at the stage, where the two disciples had resumed the competition.

Gan Zifeng looked at it for a while: "Do you see any signs of loss of control?" ”

"No—just before the incident, everything was normal."

Gan Zifeng sighed lightly: "But I didn't react, and neither did the predecessors of Zhufeng." ”

Zhao Cheng was silent.

This is the most paradoxical part of this bloody matter, Wubi has won and lost, and it is not uncommon to turn defeat into victory, but you Xuanmen are sitting here just to take care of their disciples, not to mention that there is a suspicion that there is a happy death building to watch, and the Law Enforcement Hall has also arranged more manpower.

However, that sword was so abrupt and fast, and before all the grandmasters could react, it had already caused a tragedy.

Gan Zifeng turned his head: "Pei Shaoxia or does he have a more intelligent insight in the way of the sword?" Any ideas? ”

"That's a big deal." Pei Ye was silent for a moment, "I was indeed looking at this combination at the time. Is this sword a basic swordsmanship of your family? ”

"It's the "Sword of the Third Floor" of the first level of the mountain gate." Gan Zifeng said, "This sword is very simple, and the only advantage is that it is light, and most of Kongtong's disciples have learned it. ”

"Hmm." Pei Li nodded, was quiet for a while, and said softly, "This sword gives me the feeling that . . . Abrupt. ”

"Suddenly?"

"Abrupt." Pei Li said, "I think this is the fundamental reason why everyone was caught off guard." It's not the speed of time, but the sword momentum, it has no foreshadowing, no trend, it rises abruptly and quickly, but it is frighteningly accurate, and it perfectly cuts into this fleeting weakness, just like who stuffed such a sword that did not belong to the swordsman at all. ”

Gan Zifeng was silent for a moment: "You mean, someone may have controlled Zhang Jingbi's mind at that moment?" ”

"The art of the mind, I'm afraid it's difficult to do this." Pei Lidao, after two months of cultivation, the things he understood were actually very poor, but in terms of "Mind Spirit" and "Sword", he did touch their upper limits, "Moreover, I-Heart Cutting Liuli didn't notice it." ”

This noun made Gan Zifeng nod in agreement: "Then Pei Shaoxia thinks."

Sometimes, swordsmen do use swords like this." Pei Ye was silent for a moment, "Either it is a thick accumulation, or it is spiritual, and in an instant, it bursts out with a power that is far from his own - this is the privilege of the Sword Gifted Excellence." ”

So Pei Shaoxia also thinks it's a coincidence?"

"On the contrary." Pei Ye said, "I don't think Zhang Jingbi can use such a sword. ”

"Why?"

"Such a sword requires a very dazzling aura, Zhang Jingbi did not show such a level of kendo before."

But didn't you say earlier that 'Aura' is like that?" Zhao Cheng couldn't help but ask.

Not exactly. Such a sword is not so easy to come by. Pei Ye was quiet and looked into the distance, "Some people can use it, and some people can't use it in their lifetime, and it not only relies on the swordsman's own talent and level, but also has requirements for the situation in the outside world - generally in a desperate situation, when he is enlightened. Etcetera. ”

"Zhang Jingbi, I just saw that I was also under heavy pressure?" Gan Zifeng said at this time.

Pei Ye was silent for a moment: "I think. It's not enough. ”

"So, do you think this is not a sword that Zhang Jingbi can use himself?"

"At least, not so pure."

Gan Zifeng nodded slowly: "We will write this down." Does Pei Shaoxia have any deeper thoughts? ”

Pei Ye locked his eyebrows and shook his head: "It's broken here." ”

Pei Ye looked at the stage: "I think there is some kind of force at work, but in front of everyone's eyes, the stage is clean and clean, and although the level of this sword is far exceeded, the destination is indeed completely in line with Zhang Jingbi's own will - he went in a hurry before the sword of "White Rainbow Chapter". ”

Zhao Cheng frowned violently at this time: "When I was on stage before, Xi Tianji mentioned Yan Caiyue's weakness!" Zhang Jingbi's position should have been heard. ”

"It's no secret." Pei Ye subconsciously glanced at the sword in his hand, "Many people can see it." 'Knowing' is not important, 'doing' is difficult to understand. ”

“.”

"If it's Huan Death Lou's shot, what are they for?" Gan Zifeng suddenly said, "I remember that Wuhejian's letter said that Huan Death Building was stealing the sword with soul beads, so what was the use of abolishing Yan Caiyue." ”

"Perhaps, it's fishing in troubled waters." Pei Ye said in a low voice, "Your sect gathered its disciples in one place, and stopped the Xuanmen from entering the mountain."

Gan Zifeng narrowed his eyes: "After the martial artist cultivation is abolished, can there still be the value of being robbed?" ”

"As long as the mood is not wasted, it is fine."

Gan Zifeng nodded slowly: "I know." ”

The words stopped, and the three of them continued to look at the two disciples on the stage who were trying the sword without saying a word, and until the end of their discussion, there was no more blood.

"I'm going to look it up." Pei Li said, "Don't pass it first, Deacon Gan and Senior Brother Zhao." ”

"Pei Shaoxia farewell, I will also go back to the law enforcement hall to interrogate about it."

On the lotus platform, Kong Lanting, Guan Qianyan and the others were still sitting in place, but their faces were a little white, and there was no smile.

Pei Ye didn't go over, waved his hand to the little boy who felt the gaze from afar, and beckoned him over.

Kong Lanting ran over: "Brother Pei, what's the matter-how is Senior Brother Yan?" ”

"There is no danger to your life." Pei Li said, "But in terms of cultivation, it may be cut off." ”

"How so." The boy was stunned.

"How talented is Zhang Jingbi?" Pei Ye asked directly.

"Talent. It's always been good, and now he can learn "Fengshan Ming" by himself, he should be the first rate in Kongtong. ”

"Compared to you?"

"Slightly worse - what's wrong, Brother Pei?"

Pei Ye nodded and told him his thoughts: "I don't think Zhang Jingbi can use this sword, but I can't find where he was affected - judging from this combination, he really wanted to use the sword like this at that time, but he shouldn't really be able to use it." ”

Kong Lanting looked at him in a daze, and his face suddenly turned a little pale.

"What's wrong?"

The young man's voice became a little hoarse: "Brother Pei, you said that this sword was not used by Senior Brother Zhang himself?" ”

What's wrong?"

"Is it possible that it was his sword?"

"What?"

Kong Lanting hesitated: "I think, will Senior Brother Zhang touch the 'living sword'?" ”

Pei Ye froze his eyebrows: "What did you say?" ”

Kong Lanting was originally stunned, but when the young man looked at it so solemnly, he seemed to have detached himself and returned to reality: "Ah, that's it, it's a story It is said that there are some living demon swords hidden in Kongtong Mountain, and they master Kongtong's swordsmanship, wandering in places where no one can see them. If, if you don't practice the sword well, you will be found by the demon sword who has mastered the corresponding swordsmanship. If you can't beat them."

The more Kong Lanting spoke, the lower his voice became, and gradually felt that he was stupid, and touched his head a little embarrassed.

"What will happen?"

"I don't know." Kong Lanting was a little surprised.

Pei immediately understood that this was a necessary element of an "educational story" - the fear of the unknown was lasting enough.

"Who told you this?" Pei Li didn't want to give up any clues.

"Teach the sword." Kong Lanting said, "But. It's definitely not made up by him, many people have heard it when they were young. ”

Pei Ye still didn't give up: "Has that Ling been found by a living sword?" ”

Kong Lanting immediately felt a little surprised and aggrieved: "I work hard to practice swords every day." ”

“.”

——

Pei Ye came to the front of the Law Enforcement Hall, and the sky was already dark.

The bright fire candle was lit early, Pei Ye raised his sword and went straight forward, and the elongated shadow climbed over the courtyard wall, garden trees, and eaves one after another. And then it went down.

Dull echoing footsteps began to sound, and it was a passage down the ground.

But not deep into the dungeon, for this is a mountain peak, and after passing through this path, the front of you suddenly opens up, and the exit is on the cliff wall, and there is a dark mist outside, and many of the stone pillars that are not connected to each other break through the fog, and are connected only to the cliff wall by iron locks.

It is conceivable that when the prisoner is sent up, the chain will also be broken.

"The disciple can be on this, and he can quietly repent." Zhao Cheng made a joke that was not very funny, and laughed himself, "This case is in Jiajiuzhu." ”

Pei Ye followed his guidance to a rather wide peak, where a wide grotto was carved out, and fire candles flickered in it.

Zhao Cheng led him into the cave to the end, and a stone prison made of a peak appeared in front of him.

At a glance, Pei Li saw the young man sitting in a daze, his limbs had been buckled with unknown magic weapons, and every movement seemed difficult.

"Pei Shaoxia just asks at will." Zhao Cheng said a word, turned his head and said, "Zhang Jingbi! Remember, if there is anything that is not true, the sin is increased! ”

In fact, there was no need for him to threaten at all, the young man had already turned his lips and face, like a quail in the rain, and he couldn't see any possibility of stubborn resistance.

For a teenager who grew up with his mother's doting parents, this is indeed the cruel side of the sect that he has never been exposed to.

Pei Ye looked at him quietly and said softly: "Don't be afraid, just tell the truth—you didn't want to harm Yan Caiyue, did you?" ”

"I, I'm trying to defeat him." Zhang Jingbi was a little at a loss, and sobbed a little in a low voice, "Yes, it's my fault."

Pei Ye couldn't help but laugh: "Do you want to hurt him?" ”

"I, I didn't think that much."

Pei Ye asked more clearly: "Look at me, at that moment, do you want to cut off his arm, pierce his dantian, and make him a waste person from now on?" ”

Zhang Jingbi's face turned white: "No! I didn't think so. ”

Pei Li nodded: "I think so." ”

“.”

"Some swords need to be supported by a strong desire." Pei Ye said in a low voice, "Then the second question, how did you use that sword?" ”

"What, which sword?"

""Sword on the Third Floor", a sword broke Yan Caiyue's [Guanri], and also penetrated into his dantian."

It was at that moment that I thought of his weakness." Zhang Jingbi lowered his head in shame again, "I really want to win this game, I secretly checked him and knew that he had a flaw here, and then I stabbed him."

"That's it?"

That's all." Zhang Jingbi whispered, "I don't know how."

"Do you feel that other forces are interfering with your sword, or anything is wrong?"

Zhang Jingbi was stunned: "No, I just feel this sword. It's smooth, give me another chance, I won't be able to stab it. ”

Pei Ye was silent for a while, gently rubbed his eyebrows, and stood up to look at the dark fog outside the peak.

Even though his intuition has been denying it, all visible signs are showing that it was indeed Zhang Jingbi who stabbed this sword in the aura.

Of course, Pei Ye never wanted to believe in such a coincidence, the accident that happened to Yan Caiyue at this moment, he believed that there must be a promotion behind it. They created this thing with means that no one could guess, and what did they intend to achieve with it?

Pei Ye lowered his head and thought about all this, and couldn't figure out a result, and his lips gradually pursed.

Finally, he sighed softly, the lights were dim, and the coolness of the autumn night permeated, not to mention the dense fog of the lonely peak here, and the silence and coldness stuck to the skin through his clothes.

I'll put it aside for the time being, and I'm going to go back and finish reading [Zhaoyu], maybe I can get some clues.

As he left this lonely prison, his lowered gaze was suddenly attracted by something, and fell on the lonely table under the lamp and candle.

It's a sword, the one of the Kongtong system and Zhang Jingbi, and the law enforcement hall put the unloaded weapon here for the time being after he was imprisoned. Sooner or later, it will be handled more properly, but not yet.

Pei Ye remembered the story of Kong Lanting's reproduction of "The Big Bad Wolf Who Can't Eat Children Who Can't Sleep", lowered his eyebrows and smiled, thinking that if there was really such a sword, it could indeed solve this problem.

He turned his head and was about to leave, but suddenly froze in place.

A chill rose from my heart.

He slowly shifted his gaze back to the longsword.

As a swordsman, Pei Li used to sweep his gaze over the other party's saber when he met for the first time.

In many cases, it is true that just one glance is enough to see and write down.

Only Zhang Jingbi's one glanced at him twice, because a pink peace buckle was conspicuously hung on the hilt. For a seventeen-year-old boy, his mother's affection had obviously embarrassed him, so that after he came to power, the clasp was no longer visible on his sword—Pei Ye certainly thought that he had relieved him of this burdensome and ridiculed thing.

But no.

On this sword, which was still stained with blood, not only was the peace clasp gone, but at the end of the hilt. There is no such hoop to tie the tassels!

It's not the same sword at all.
