Qing Huan and Shi put there and said, and the old man Wensheng's face sank at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.

I don't know if it's because of the death of his proud protégé, or because of the theft of the Wensheng Holy Seal.

Or both.

Qinghuan and Shishi said again, because something so big happened, the entire Jixia was sealed.

Those people from the Criminal Department and the Zhantian Division checked everyone present before letting everyone out.

Before leaving, looking at their faces, Qinghuan guessed that they didn't have any direction or reason.

"But what I can't figure out is, isn't that Ziji Daru the power of the consummation of the gods? Why was he killed so silently? ”

The stone scratched his head, bewildered. In his limited mind, the alchemists of the Divine Sprout Realm should at least be as strong as him.

"The alchemists of the Wen Yi Dao are different from you."

The old man Wen Sheng shook his head and said: "The weakness of the physical body is the Achilles heel of the Wen Dao refiner, even if he enters the realm of the Dao, the body is not necessarily very strong, but even so, according to the old man, Zi Ji should also be plotted by the people around him."

Otherwise, if others want to harm him, there will be no chance to get close at all. ”

- People around you.

It's still quite a trustworthy person around you.

In this way, he can silently kill a great Confucian who has attained the perfection of the gods.

After some conversation, it was late at night.

After dinner, everyone went about his own business.

In Yu Chen's room, the old man Wen Sheng's face was solemn.

Yu Chen comforted him twice.

But the old man shook his head, saying that his student had died, which naturally made people sad.

But what worries him even more is the Holy Seal.

As one of the Three Saints, the Holy Seal, a part of the center of the Great Array of National Fortune that opened the Three Mountains and Nine Veins, the whereabouts of this thing are really worrying.

In the hands of ordinary people, the Holy Seal is a solid iron lump, but if it passes the test of the Holy Seal, after dripping blood and recognizing the Lord, it is a terrible thing that is enough to control the Great Array of National Fortunes.

"If, according to what you said, the death of that Ziji Daru was done by the people around him, then the Holy Seal should still be in Jixia Academy." Yu Chen frowned and spoke.

"I hope so." The old man Wen Sheng sighed and returned to the Netherworld.

In this way, it is still calm if you don't return to the mausoleum.

But the bottom of the capital exploded.

——Whether it is the death of Ziji Daru or the loss of the holy seal, it is a big event for the imperial court.

After turning the entire Jixia Academy inside and out, the entire capital was blocked, and countless people from the Jixia Academy, the alchemists of the Zhan Tiansi and the officials of the Criminal Department walked through the streets and alleys to track down the murderer.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that what they care more about is the holy seal.

All in all, the whole capital is full of rumors.

It was also at this time, in the middle of the night.

did not return to the mausoleum, ushered in guests.

A man in his thirties, with no hair, walked up from the bottom of the mountain.

His face was haggard, and he seemed to be in great pain, and his body was swirled with insect-shaped black gas, gnawing at his body and staggering.

At that moment, all the creatures on the tomb woke up from their dreams and raised their heads.

- Now, even the most wooden stone in the head can tell the difference between a human and a ghost.

And this guy is not a living person.

Yu Chen frowned even more and walked out of the house.

I saw that Yu Youyu was already at the door, staring at the person who came, frowning, as if he had seen something incredible.

And under Yu Chen's gaze, the man arched his hand and said his meaning: "Zi Ji Naiji is a protégé, framed by someone, and should have returned to heaven and earth, but he has an unforgettable obsession, and he has a sense in the dark, so he went up the mountain to seek help." ”

Obviously, unlike ordinary ghosts, he clearly knew his current situation, and he was attracted to the Sutra and went up the mountain.

It's no one else, it's the great Confucian who was killed yesterday in front of everyone, the protégé of Wen Sheng, the next Wen Sheng, and Zi Ji.

After his death, his obsession was not gone, and he turned into a last wish, looking for guidance from the darkness of the Sutra and looking for the mountain.

Before Yu Chen could speak, Yu Youyu frowned and asked, "Scholar, did your corpse bleed from the Nine Orifices, its skin festered, and finally turned into a pool of black and red flesh?" ”

Ziji Daru was stunned for a moment, and arched his hand: "Exactly!" ”

"Yes, that's it." Yu Youyu stared at the black mist insects that were gnawing at the soul of Ziji Daru, and looked at Yu Chen: "Looking at the grave, something is wrong." ”

Yu Chen was stunned.

I heard this demon girl continue: "There is a kind of Gu poison in the Enma Holy Land, called the Heavenly Demon Gu, which uses hundreds of thousands of highly poisonous Heavenly Demon Worms to fight each other, devour each other, and finally refine into a maximum of three poisonous Gu.

This poisonous Gu dissolves in water, colorless and tasteless, dissolves bones, turns flesh, and devours souls, once swallowed, no matter how strong the body is, resisting the Gu poison, the spirit and soul will be bitten by the Gu worm - just like this scholar. ”

After that, with a wave of his hand, he summoned the black mist insect on that Zi Ji Daru's body, hovered in his hand, and turned into a cloud of black mist.

Ziji Daru suddenly felt relaxed, and thanked him: "Thank you, girl, may I ask which Taoist temple is this Enma Holy Land?" Why hasn't the sub-season heard of it? ”

"Taoism?" Yu Youyu waved his hand, "You don't need to know what the Enma Holy Land is, but the concubine body can tell you - there are only two people in this world who can cultivate and refine this Gu poison, one is the concubine body, and the other is ......"

Speaking of this, in the curious gaze of Zaizi Ji Daru, she took a deep breath: "There is also the overseas alchemist who originally brought the Heaven Conquering Creation Array to refine your entire capital. ”

At that moment, there was a dead silence on the entire Mausoleum of No Return.

"I remember...... He should have died. Yu Chen frowned, he saw with his own eyes from the old man Wen Sheng's marquee that the overseas evil cultivator had been broken into thousands of pieces, and there was no scum left.

"Who knows?" Yu Youyu spread his hands, "Either he is still alive, or his methods have been learned by others, no matter which one it is, it is not good news - those methods of the Enma Holy Land have been circulated, which is enough to make your entire Great Xia life miserable." ”

Silent.

After a long silence, Yu Chen took out the Sutra and showed it.

The golden light shines.

Running in front of me.

Ziji, surnamed Zhu, Wensheng's protégé, Wendao genius, thirty-six years old, consummated, upright, upright, is the most satisfactory of Wensheng's five protégés under Ji.

At the same time, he is also the successor of the next Wensheng.

Judging from his marquee, nothing unusual was found.

Since a few months ago, when the five Wensheng protégés began to discuss and decide on the next successor, Zi Ji and his second senior brother competed inseparably, and after several months of literary and martial arts and poetry battles, Zi Ji won the first place by a narrow margin and became the candidate for the next Wen Sheng.

Then, everything worked fine.

During this time, he did not come into contact with anyone outside of Kinoshita Academy.

strengthened the speculation of the old man Wen Sheng.

- Ziji Daru's death was done by the people around him.

And what is a little surprising is that Ziji Daru is quite open to his own death.

He bluntly said that if he just died by himself, he would not have left such a deep will.

What really made him blind was the Holy Seal.

As one of the five great Confucian scholars, he knew very well what the holy seal represented.

——It is the supreme thing that has been inherited in Jixia Academy since the founding of Great Xia, one of the centers of the Three Mountains and Nine Nations Fortune Array, and the responsibility and symbol of the entire Book Mountain.

Such an important thing was lost in his own succession ceremony.

Where could he be willing to die?

That's when I turned into a last wish and stayed.

- Find the lost seal!

"Although a gentleman does not do unfounded doubts."

Ziji Daru sighed, "But if you want to say who will kill me, the second senior brother is the most suspicious - originally in the competition for the holy position, he and I were indistinguishable, but in the end he lost the test of the holy seal, it is said that he did not pass the test because of his lack of heart." Since then, I can clearly feel his indifference.

But the day before the ceremony, he uncharacteristically invited me to drink and compose poems, and if I had been poisoned, I would have had that only one chance. ”

Second senior brother?

Yu Chen found this guy's information from the memory of the old man Wensheng.

This person is called Zigui, in his forties, and he is also a genius of the text.

But he has always been competitive, and he likes to be the first in everything, but there is nothing else to blame.

Yu Chen nodded, his heart was clear, and he stood up, "Then let's go and take a look, this is a noble Confucian." ”

At the same time, the capital, the prime minister's house.

Song Xiang and He Ziqiu were in the study, and they were also busy with the case of Jixia Academy.

- Although this matter is not in the hands of Song Xiang, but at this time, he is nominally in charge of Shushan Jixia Academy, and it is about the Holy Seal, how can this prime minister under one person sit still?

An old man who looked like a housekeeper at the bottom respectfully reported: "Back to the master, the news of the Criminal Department - first, Ziji Daru died under an unknown Gu poison, and second, the time of death of Wensheng, who guarded the holy seal, was in the early morning of the Holy Ceremony. ”

Song Xiang nodded and looked at He Ziqiu, "What do you think?" ”

The latter frowned and said eloquently: "Since the Wensheng who guarded the holy seal died early in the morning, and at that time, the people and the three sects and the nine streams had not yet entered, and Jixia had not yet opened to the public, it was enough to show that if the murderer who killed Ziji Daru and the person who stole the holy seal were the same person, then he could only say that he was a person from Jixia Academy."

And after the case, Jixia Academy has been blocked so far, and the holy seal cannot be stored in a mustard seed bag, which is enough to show two things - first, the murderer is a trusted person around Ziji Daru, so that he can quietly kill a Shenxue perfect alchemist; Second, the Sacred Seal...... It's still in the academy, but it's just hidden. ”

After a pause, he frowned: "In addition, the student heard that Ziji Daru is usually quite cautious, and he can poison him under such circumstances, it must be someone he trusts very much, such as ...... The remaining four Confucians.

So we only need to keep an eye on the other four Confucians, and most of them will be able to find the murderer! ”

Song Xiang listened and nodded with satisfaction.
