Chapter 271: Blue Birdsong
In the lonely and high mountainside, there is no hole staring straight at the pair of eyes in front of him: "People die for money, birds die for food, Lord Xiao Feng, what are you for?" β
Xiao Tingshu was silent.
"Pei Ye told me that Xi Tianji finally said that he had never betrayed Kongtong." Wudong said slowly, "It's easy to deceive a young man who has been brought up since childhood, and it's impossible for you to tell him that Master is helping Huan Die Lou dig up the roots of Kongtong, so Lord Xiao Feng deceived him, right?" β
β.β
"You don't." Wudong let go of his hand coldly, and the head on his hand fell weakly again.
"I've done my best to get to know you on the way to Kongtong, Lord Xiao Feng." Wudong stood up, "You are cold and decisive, the city government is deeply hidden, and you can see that the two generations of Kongtong heads have lived in seclusion one after another, and the sect is still stable and improving, thanks to your ten years of leadership-so the four peak masters also believe in you." β
"But there is a record in Xianrentai that seventeen years ago, Lord Xiao Feng did something wrong that is not well known."
"You started late, before the age of fifteen, you made friends with a ranger of a similar age, and then you were able to enter Kongtong, and it was not until eight years later that you met again in Shaolong City. At that time, he was already a well-known thief, and he was killing five government officials and capturing a sword of 'Yizhong' in the East China Sea. β
"You hid him in the ranks of Kongtong for four days, and when he fled out of the city, a good prostitute wanted to report to the police, and you turned your sword and killed her." Wudong looked at him, "Of course, we arrested and killed that person later, but it's a pity that the crime of murder by the high-ranking disciples of Kongtong can only be handled by your own family, and I don't know how many months of confinement?" β
Xiao Tingshu raised his eyes and looked at him for the first time, but only at once.
"This is the admirable Lord Xiao Feng, with a cold face and affection. The idea of good and evil is weak, and the life of the living is indifferent, if someone wants to make profits from evil deeds, you must not be difficult to be convinced. β
β.β
"You will not deceive him to die if you regard him as a son. Since he believes that he has not betrayed Kongtong, then this confidence must come from you. Wudong looked at him indifferently, "So. . . You did not betray Kongtong but did such a thing, who does your faith come from? β
Shi Shaosheng hadn't spoken for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "You destroyed the formation, just don't you want the door master to say his name?" β
Wudong stroked the hilt of the sword: "Ji Changyun? β
Xiao Tingshu snorted slightly.
Shi Shaosheng shook his head: "No." Uncle Ji is a good teacher, and a long time ago, Senior Brother Bai regarded him as close as a father. But during the time when Senior Brother Xiao started, Uncle Ji was obsessed with Jianzang and almost ignored him, and after the incident mentioned by Hejian just now, it was also Uncle Ji who insisted on expelling him from Kongtong, and at that time, Uncle Ji and Senior Brother Bai were already close to breaking up, so they almost fought again. β
"Since then, the relationship between Senior Brother Xiao and Uncle Ji has been exhausted."
"So who else could it be?" Wudong looked at him, "Now that Lord Xiao Feng has locked us and Senior Brother Gui here, and only Huan Death Building is left outside, can you really rest assured?" β
"That's not right." Shi Shaosheng suddenly said in a daze.
"What?"
"My door. And one more. β
β.β
"Is there an unsheathed sword yet?"
A cool female voice was suddenly inserted in the silence, and Wudong even thought it was a metaphor for a while, but when he turned his head to look at the woman, he knew that what he was seriously expressing was the literal meaning.
Ming Qitian looked at Shi Shaosheng: "Are there any other unsheathed swords here?" β
There are no swords in the belly of the mountain, they are all in the stream outside the mountain." Shi Shaosheng was slightly dazed, "What is the use of the sword master?" β
Ming Qitian looked up at the mountain dome: "This array is borrowed from the landscape sword array, ten thousand swords are clear, and being in it is one of them, and it can't be broken." But there is still a deficiency in the Sword Belly Mountain itself. β
Shi Shaosheng opened his eyes violently: "Yes, [Jiazi in the Mountain] is the sage who has refined the mountain peak, accumulated for decades, and now how can it be achieved in the Sword Belly Mountain in ten years." They are using the already formed Sword Belly Mountain Array as a support! β
Ming Qitian continued to say calmly: "We are in the heart of the [Summoning Sword Chapter] array, and when the sword moves, it resonates with it and melts into it, so we can't break ourselves. But if there is a sword that has not yet been unsheathed, I can send one more out. β
Shi Shaosheng was stunned: "The sword master is saying. Can you break through this formation? β
"It's just a matter of prying open the gaps, only one sword and one person." Ming Qi Tiandao, "Our five swords have been 'recognized' by it, if there is no other sword, I will only send Wuhe out with [Jade Tiger]." β
Wudong didn't think of such a section, and was slightly stunned for a while: "And slow sword master." β
Ming Qitian paused.
Wudong paused: "I will pay you with [Jade Tiger], you go out by yourself, come and go freely." β
Yes, of course, the Crane Inspector knows the direction of the case better, and he must be able to see their purpose of locking up everyone, Huan Death Lou has come to the surface more and more, as long as the news is spread and the forces are coordinated, they can completely stop the conspiracy that does not know the content.
But to send a stronger force out of this formation, or a better choice, if the woman leaves here, the entire Kongtong and the entire Happy Death Building, there will be no opponent. No matter what Huan Death Lou wants to do outside, it is impossible to succeed under the woman's sword.
But.
Wudong looked at the woman's calm eyes, and suddenly understood what she meant.
- What is the purpose of this canopy that separates the inside and outside?
The Formation of Sword Belly Mountain, this is the place where the Happy Death Building has been operating for twenty years, no matter what their plan is in the end, it is inevitable that they will settle here.
Now that Xiao Tingshu has activated the [Mountain Jiazi] unabashedly, the wind and rain are about to come can already be heard and seen. But is this storm blowing outside? Or scrape inside?
A woman can be free, but if she goes out and wants to come back, it's a different matter.
At that time, there was no hole and the four peak masters faced this mountain belly that did not know what would change, and they might all be dusty.
There is no need to think too much, as far as the woman is concerned, it is impossible for her to leave alone at the risk of others. This was true in Bowang, and it was also true in Kongtong.
"Please." The woman said calmly, "Hejian remembers to inform Pei Li, I can't leave for the time being, please don't leave me within ten miles." β
"Okay."
"Jiantao" starts here, the condensation of the word "sword" itself, when it appears in thousands of sword senses, that kind of natural flawlessness has never been so distinctly revealed, and what is amazing is that those sword senses are also enclosed into an almost leakless circle, wrapping "Jiantao" in it.
But when the two circles really fit, a gap was so obvious that the ten thousand techniques of "Jian Tao" suddenly merged into a sword, calmly penetrating into this slit.
The outside world penetrated in an instant, and Wudong swept up with the [Jade Tiger], and a sword broke through the sky, and the mountain broke out.
The curtain was closed again, and there was no longer a long pole to pick it up. Ming Qitian watched this scene and slowly withdrew his fingers, frowning slightly, as if he suddenly realized something.
ββββββ
Scripture Building.
Pei Ye has walked carefully through the corridors of the entire building.
He lowered his head and rubbed the Peizi in his hand, a good jade for a long time, the oil has been moistened, the delicate blue bird on the branch is lifelike, moist as if it will melt, you can imagine the appearance of the man who carefully sketched it with one stroke and the woman who couldn't put it down after getting it.
But it had been dead for seven years, and now it was silent, the candle in its hand was about to go out, and everything was dead.
The sword that the man had almost pierced their veils had finally broken and sunk into the sand, completely submerged in time.
Pei Ye sighed softly, there was no one to discuss in the empty building, since Zhang Meiqing did not come to the scripture collection building, there must be other people who entrusted it. But in fact, the boy has also verified that among Kongtong, the man does not have any friends with sufficient status and extreme trust.
The investigation was at an impasse for a while, Pei Ye turned back, but a few wings suddenly sounded outside the window, and the next moment the window paper was broken, and a fluent green shadow swept in.
Pei Ye was stunned for a moment-[Flowing Wind].
The letter that Crane Jian sent to him when he was in Jinyuzhai was supposed to arrive early yesterday morning, but now it was a few hours later than himself.
The light bird landed skillfully on his fingers, its wings intact, and there were no scars on its body, but it was a little sluggish. Probably just as Wudong guessed, he was stumped by Kongtong's formation.
Pei Ye came back to his senses, and immediately went to untie the letter box on his leg, and opened his eyes, and sure enough, when the old man and Lord Sui were doing in Jin Yuzhai, they told him that Xinpo was in the middle of Kongtong. It is the same as what the old man complained about before.
Wrapped in the deepest part was a very old short note, but the old man had never mentioned it, Pei Lizheng felt that the shape was a little familiar, and suddenly a pleasant chirp came from his hand.
It was so pleasant to the ear that Pei Li was completely stunned, he looked down at this soul bird, never knowing that it could make such a sound.
But his gaze froze suddenly, and the soul bird's light eyebrows stared at his hand, and the bird's beak was tightly closed.
The birdsong came from the palm of his hand, soft as a stream, as graceful as a flute, Pei Li never thought that the birdsong could be so well arranged, he was stunned, the delicate blue bird was singing out the flowing syllables, and the soul bird stared at it, as if trying to distinguish its species.
- "Later, he made me a small magic artifact that would chirp when I received his letter. That's it, it's pretty nice to call. β
"But then I couldn't hear it."
Now, after seven years, in the lonely and empty ancient building, this blue bird once again sang a pleasant and cheerful note, without the slightest sluggishness and rustiness, and it was as light as it was back then.
Pei Ye flipped through the note. The ink marks on it are old, and it is said: "Nine leaves of lotus heart, hanging sword of Tibetan sword, flying sixteen." β
β.β
Pei Li's heart clenched fiercely for a moment, and he froze in place.
After a long time, he exhaled softly, and immediately turned around and came to the catalogue to compare.
Of course, Pei Li recognized this line of secret words, and whoever put the book in the building could get this corresponding one for use and proof.
He still remembers the short note of "Lotus Heart One Leaf, Panasonic Nine Birds, Feather Micro Twelve", "Lotus Heart" is the name of the peak, which means [Lotus Heart Pavilion], and "One Leaf" is the law enforcement hall directly under the [Lotus Heart Pavilion].
So what is "Nine Leaves"?
Pei Li followed the map, and suddenly his fingers stopped, and he was a little stunned to find that the "Nine Leaves" was the Scripture Building itself.
It is located on the highest floor.
β.β
Which loft is this? When he first walked through, the map did not indicate the so-called "nine leaves" at all.
Did Zhang Meiqing hide the case file there?
In any case, since he had been guided, Pei Ye immediately jumped up, let go of the soul bird, and the young man swept up to the roof like a wind.
There really is an old attic.
At the end of the deep corridor, if you hadn't come specifically to find it, you would never have imagined that there would be such a room.
Pei Ye stepped onto the corridor, and his footsteps were immediately stunned - the feet were not ordinary wood, and steel was embedded underneath.
Looking around this seemingly ordinary corridor again, the young man spread his hands, and a beautiful blue flame flew silently forward, and where it was reflected, dense formations appeared.
But it seems to be very old.
Pei Ye was silent for a moment, pressed the sword and stepped on this corridor, nothing happened, everything seemed to have been abandoned, and when it came to the end, Pei Ye gently pushed the door open, and a high and vast book hall opened in front of him.
Rows of huge solid wood bookshelves, then nine times out of ten they were empty, only one near the desk was full of signs of use, stacks of books of various sizes crammed together, and countless calculations of manuscript paper.
Pei Ye walked up and rolled his eyes twice, all of which were related to the way of the formation weapon.
He looked up, and suddenly he saw three iron hooks and silver paintings behind the bookshelf, on the front wall of the shadow.
γHidden Sword Pavilionγ
So in an instant, Pei Ye finally knew what kind of place this was.
Twenty years ago, the storage place of the Daiji Mountain of the past dynasties buried the old paper, and diligently studied the impossible moats here.
It's deserted now.
Pei Ye knew where those swords were hidden, and Ji Changyun lived in seclusion in the mountains and took them away.
And the "Kongtong Sword Collection" has always been sorted out by [Dasi Mountain] in the previous generation, why was this generation all handed over to Ji Changyun?
Pei Ye suddenly felt cold, unless this generation [Da Si Shan] didn't want to study Sword Hide, what he promised was also Bai Tianqu's method.
So. Back then, when Zhang Meiqing studied the way of array weapons, how many times did she come to the Ancient Building of the Tibetan Scriptures to look for those secluded books?
As far as he is concerned, is this senior buried in the ancient building enough to be trusted?!
He walked into this attic seven years ago, told this [Daijishan] everything about it, and solemnly put the case file here, leaving it to this senior to guard it personally.
Then he was framed and killed in Jin Yuzhai, and then these case files never saw the light of day again.
Pei Ye looked down, and the bookshelf in front of him was the wall of "weeping tassels". It looks very, very new, and it's the way it is used a lot.
On the table next to him, the ink in the inkstone is still rippling, which is very fresh.
