“.”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of sweeping outside the forest, and it was extremely fast and heavy, Pei Ye had just pressed the sword and turned his head, and his person had already shown his figure, it was Sui Zaihua.

"As soon as I come out, I'll notify Lord Sui first." Wudong explained to the young man, turned his head and said, "It's a pity that I didn't catch up." ”

Sui Zaihua looked around: "What's the matter?" ”

"Sword Belly Mountain is blocked." There are only a few of us outside, and we have repelled [Dasi Mountain] just now, but we said before that there are three high-level people in the Happy Death Building-the drama master, the shadow and [Cao]. ”

"Xiao Tingshu has been confirmed."

"Huh?"

Sui Zaihua took out a play face: "Yuan Wufeng found it, 'Cao' noodles." There are still many things that can be searched, but Tsuru-kam seems to be more urgent here. ”

Wudong condensed his eyebrows and took it, Pei Ye also turned his head to look at it, it was indeed the unique flow and brightness of the scene of Happy Death Building, and there were obvious traces of wearing it on it.

"Xiao Tingshu actually joined the Happy Death Building," Pei Ye frowned.

"So it's more in line with our inference." Wudong flipped the scene twice, "Xiao Tingshu didn't contact Huan Death Lou as a representative of Kongtong's side, there was a person with a higher status who made this decision, and then, just as he allowed Huan Death Lou to invade Kongtong, the actor also handed over a high position of Huan Death Lou to Xiao Tingshu - this is the cornerstone of cooperation." ”

Sui Zaihua looked at Wudong: "Dasi Mountain? ”

Wudong hooked the corner of his lower lip: "We were still talking just now - it is impossible for this Da Sishan to betray Kongtong." ”

“.” Pei Li glanced at the old man, but he hadn't said the reason yet.

But Sui Zaihua accepted this conclusion very easily, and he gently stroked the hilt of the sword: "Then in Kongtong, there are only two people with a higher status than Xiao Tingshu." ”

"You remember that on the way we came, we checked the past of the head of this generation." Wudong leaned against the tree behind him, and the arrival of Liuli and Sui Zaihua made his body relax, "Ji Changyun and Xiao Tingshu are very unfamiliar, and it was almost the senior brother who brought up this closed disciple single-handedly. ”

"The sword feeling method of Sword Belly Mountain is also Bai Tianqu's heart." Wudong's fingers tapped lightly on the scabbard, "If this senior brother entrusts it, it is not surprising that Xiao Tingshu will do his best." ”

"I've checked a little bit here." The sky was dawning in the east, Sui Zaihua looked at Pei Li, took a wound medicine and handed it to him, this adult didn't seem to have the habit of relying on, he was always simple, clean and upright, "Ji Changyun was excluded from the sect, and even exceeded our expectations. ”

"Xiao Tingshu is very hostile to him, and it is by no means false. I don't know what the situation was during Bai Tianqu's reign, but after Xiao Tingshu reigned, a very interesting thing happened. Sui Zaihua paused and swept over the two of them, "In the Kongtong Mountain formation, his true qi pattern was removed. ”

“.”

After the Kongtong Mountain Formation was activated, Xiao Tingshu did this kind of thing, and it was indeed as the old man said, he almost excluded Ji Changyun from the sect.

Wudong squinted, Sui Zaihua looked at him, the two were quiet for a while, and suddenly Wudong turned his head to look at the thoughtful young man next to him: "Hey, what do we Pei Shaoxia think about this?" ”

"Huh?"

Sui Zaihua also smiled slightly and moved his eyes.

"I don't think so." Pei Ye frowned, "No matter how tense the relationship between master and apprentice is, this kind of thing should not be done." Xiao Tingshu is not like such a narrow-minded person, he is in name only, and this kind of behavior has done too much harm to Kongtong. ”

"Not bad." Wudong nodded and smiled at Sui Zaihua, "You see, I said that although he has little knowledge, he is very smart and measured. ”

Sui Zaihua glanced at the young man with a smile: "His most dazzling thing is swordsmanship, and everything else is delay." ”

"You can only see swordsmanship in your eyes."

"In his position, he naturally seeks his own government." Sui Zaihua smiled and returned to the topic, "Therefore, Xiao Tingshu is so hostile to his division so excessively, and even suspected of tearing his face, not because he hates him so much, but because he just doesn't want Ji Changyun to get close to Kongtong and Jianbelly Mountain. ”

"Because here are all traces of Bai Tianqu and Huan Death Lou's peace." Sui Zaihua continued, "Ji Changyun is arrogant by nature, so he really doesn't show up anymore. If it weren't for Ming Qitian asking the sword to come here, or if Kongtong had any misfortune, maybe he would never appear in front of Kongtong's disciples again until he died. ”

"There is one more thing to prove." Wudong straightened up and added, "In the ambush of Pei Ye just now, Ji Changyun did not appear. ”

Pei Li's eyes were open, it was true, if Ji Changyun was on the side of Huan Death Building, then under the joint efforts of him and Da Sishan, he had already lost his life just now.

Sui Zaihua was silent for a while, looked at the mountain top in the distance, and said softly: "But in this case, there are still a few doubts. ”

"First, where is the actor?" Sui Zaihua's gaze fell on the two of them, "When Bowang was in Bowang, Qu Candle played the role of the actor, so what is [Sima] doing by himself, and why does his whereabouts need to be covered." ”

"Second, although Bai Tianqu's temperament is extreme, he actually loves the disciples in the door far more than Ji Changyun. Would such a person really kill his fellow disciples for the sake of 'Sword Hide'? ”

"Three."

"Third, Xiao Tingshu's decision is too strange." Wudong took it, "This is also the paradox that permeates the whole thing, I think Pei Ye was just as surprised when he faced Dasi Mountain just now." ”

Pei Ye was stunned: "Yes." ”

"Kongtong is one of the thirty-three sword sects of the Daoqi Society, holding the Golden Book of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how you look at it, the future is bright enough." Wu Dong said, "Some cooperation between Jianzang and Huan Death Lou is still being understood, but since the imperial court has seen it, it should cut off the tail and draw a clear line, how can it go all the way to the dark with Huan Death Building?" ”

"I'm afraid only Xiao Tingshu knows this reason."

"Not bad."

"That's the end of the conversation." Sui Zaihua was quiet for a moment and looked back at the way he came, "I personally went to Ji Changyun and asked him to take charge of Kongtong now." ”

"There is one more thing, send a letter to Shaolong." Wudong reminded, "The enemy is in Kongtong, and the stall is very large, so you can send people here." ”

"Isn't the soul bird there? You pass it on to the Immortal Tower. ”

Wudong smiled: "[Flowing Wind] has another task. ”

Sui Zaihua nodded, didn't ask any more, just looked at Wudong, and paused for a moment: "Then, don't pass it." ”

Wudong looked at him equally quietly: "Don't pass Lord Sui." ”

Sui Zaihua jumped up, coming and going like a shock, the long sword was on his body, and everywhere he passed, the trees were separated for him.

The sky is getting whiter.

Pei Ye watched his figure disappear from view, turned his head, and Wudong was pulling out a piece of letter paper, and began to write on his bloodstained knees.

In the early morning of the light moon, the old man's legs were stretched out, which was clearly a very casual posture, but Pei Ye saw a rare solemnity from the cautious and slow pen.

"What do you write?"

"Inferences that have not yet been proven." Wudong lowered his head, "Send it to someone you don't expect." ”

“.” Pei Ye sat down again, hesitated, and said softly, "My lord, do you have any opinions about the 'shadow'?" ”

The young man looked at him with shining eyes, they talked a lot just now, but the figure that the young man had been keeping in his heart seemed to disappear.

"Do you think he's in Kongtong?"

"Of course. This array is from his hand, and at such a critical moment, there is no reason why he is not there. ”

"Yes. But he will never show his face. "Wudong looked at the boy," or rather, he doesn't have a face of his own, does he? ”

"Do you think a person can repair a broken arm in a few days?"

"For a master of the Dao, it is easy to achieve a level that outsiders can't see." The tip of the pen paused for a moment on the paper, then turned his eyes and said seriously, "Qu Candle must be moving." Just keep tracking at your own pace. Now that you've unveiled the [Daiji Mountain], it's very good, you can go back and tidy up a little, maybe a lot of things will naturally surface. ”

"Go back?"

"Yes." Wudong looked at him, "The 'Hidden Sword Pavilion' hasn't been carefully examined, has it?" In addition, if the other party fails to get the 'Soul Snatcher Bead' on Ling's body, where will they turn? ”

Pei Li's heart and lungs shrank suddenly.

Zhang Jingbi is still in the law enforcement hall.

"We've transferred the peak masters to the past, but it may still not be safe." Wudong hissed, "You have to go and take precautions." ”

"Okay." Pei Ye frowned and thought, clenching the hilt of his sword, "Then, what about you?" ”

"I" Wudong tapped the pen lightly, "Pei Li, you can tell me in detail about what happened in [Zhaoyu] again." ”

Pei Ye was stunned: "Okay." ”

He adjusted his sitting posture and began to tell the old man in great detail about the quiet valley of the cold wind and clear moon in [Zhaoyu], and he also relived the story that spanned thirty years, and when he finished speaking, the cold moon had faded, and the sun hung clearly in the east.

Wudong just put down the pen and closed his eyes and was silent for a long time.

"You know what," he said, sighing softly when he opened his eyes, "I've had questions since the first time you sent me a letter informing me of these things. Unfortunately, none of them can be answered by these past stories themselves. ”

“.”

"Pull the knife wire, pull the knife wire" The old man took a deep breath, and his gray eyes stared directly at the slowly beating cold sun, "Why can he also outline the [wire] with it?" ”

Pei Ye subconsciously looked down at the sword of strange beauty in the old man's hand: "Who are you talking about?" ”

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Wudong didn't answer his question, in fact, Pei Li's mind was not too much on it, he kept thinking about what Qu Candle would do, and some inexplicable paradoxes had begun to fill his heart.

——Since Qu Candle is in Kongtong, why didn't he come to help Dasi Mountain in the ambush of the Hidden Sword Pavilion just now?

Even if you think about it further, why didn't Qu Candle appear when Zhang Jingbi took the soul?

I'd rather let Jiang and Xi take action, and let them fail as soon as they were discovered by themselves.

What else is so important in this mountain gate?

Suddenly, the old man's dreamy whisper sounded: "What if they were alone." ”

Pei Ye was stunned and turned his head to stare at the old man.

Wudong only looked at the sky motionlessly, the whole person seemed to be frozen, and his gray eyes condensed into two ambers.

After a long time, he slowly relaxed, as if falling into the silence of dusk.

"Since entering Xianrentai, I have solved thousands of cases in the past few decades, and I have never encountered such a strange case." Wudong said softly, "For the first time, I feel that I am incompetent. Can't control it. ”

“.”

"But it's good that Lord Sui is here." No hole sighed.

"Lord Sui?"

"yes. I've known him for a long time, about ten years, and we've been working with each other for the last few days." Wudong looked at the sky quietly, and suddenly lowered his head again to pick up the pen, "I believe him." ”

“.”

"There you go." No hole, "without further ado." ”

"What about you?" Pei Ye still didn't get an answer.

"Of course I have something I want to look into." Wudong lowered his head and wrote, his face had once again condensed into that sharp coldness, "Don't pass, Pei Shaoxia." ”

Pei Ye didn't get anything revealed, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that what the old man was going to do was much more dangerous, and hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll give you the glass." ”

Wudong was stunned, raised his head and stared at him for a moment, and shook his head with a smile: "Absolutely not." ”

"Let's go." He waved his hand.

Pei Ye saluted and turned to leave, but he stood up and stood behind the treetops, when a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Pei Li."

The boy turned his head away.

Wudong still sat on the broken rock under the tree, his gray hair scattered, and the old blood on his clothes was beginning to settle and be mottled.

"I'm going to take a gamble, kid. I'm leaving because I'm not helping you. ”

“.”

"Next, you may have a hard time, you may be miserable, you may die in this vortex, and no one can guarantee anything." Wudong looked at him quietly and said softly, "But if we win, we will win completely." ”

What does it mean to win outright?"

"I've decided." Wudong didn't answer, only grinned horribly, and lowered his head again, "Don't pass." ”
