Chapter 117: Clues
After the fish was cooked, Zhu Yu found wheat noodles again, boiled a large pot of batter, and beckoned everyone to start the meal.
Hearing Zhu Yu shouting to eat, the female disciples came over from the other side of the river.
Zhu Yu looked up and saw that Lingyazi's face was like a cold moon, wearing a dark white dress, with long hair hanging down his shoulders, and his clothes were fluttering, he couldn't help but move in his heart, so he took a second look, but saw that Lingyazi was also glancing at him, his face turned red, and he hurriedly turned his head to serve food for others.
"Sister Lingyazi really looks like a fairy descending to earth, this dress is so beautiful, why have I never seen you wear it." Lan Ling'er asked.
"This was made by Senior Sister Linghuazi who accompanied me to the city a few years ago, and I have been reluctant to wear it, but I washed my clothes today and had to wear them." Lingyazi said to Lan Ling'er.
"Hey, I don't look good in anything with my figure." Lan Ling'er sighed.
"The key is who looks at you, who likes you, no matter what your body is, he looks good." Linghuazi's words caused everyone to laugh.
Not only did everyone not die, but they also took a bath, put on clean clothes, and had a good meal, which was naturally very pleasant, talking and laughing together until the moon rose in the sky.
Zhu Yu was not in the mood to laugh with everyone, he wanted to practice the Great and Small I Ching immediately according to the description of the Great and Small I Ching, so he quietly came to the side of the river bay, opened the Little I Ching, and began to meditate cross-legged and practice Qi on the spot according to the description in the book.
Zhu Yu practiced for about a quarter of an hour, and felt that the true qi slowly flowed up from the Yongquan acupoint on the soles of his feet, which was in the direction of the Qi practice of the Xiao Yi Ching, and the internal qi was not the usual gathering in the sea of qi, and then to the limbs, but first gathered in the Yongquan acupoint, and then flowed to all parts of the body, so that the practitioner could achieve the purpose of absorbing the earth qi and enriching his internal strength, and the earth qi was inexhaustible, but the ability to absorb the earth qi would continue to improve with the improvement of the cultivation level.
Zhu Yu was excited, worried that he would not be able to control his anger, so he hurriedly collected his work, opened the small I Ching, and figured out the essence of the next step of cultivation.
"Yi'er, I swear, even if I go to the ends of the earth, I will not abandon you."
A man's voice sounded not far away, and this voice, Zhu Yu was very familiar, speaking in the blue sky.
"Alas, our Emei faction, since Uncle Xugu left Emei and traveled alone, there have been no real first-class masters in the faction, and over the years, they have become more and more declining and looked down upon." The one who spoke, Zhu Yu could understand, it was Yi'er, a disciple of the Emei faction.
Yi'er's words did talk about the sore spot of the Emei faction, although Emei is a big faction, but the status of a sect lies fundamentally in the level of the martial arts of the disciples of this sect, although the Emei Yuntong fingering is unique in the world, and the 24 styles of Meishan swordsmanship also have a place in the martial arts, but Xuyun Shitai's generation, Xugu is missing, Gao Cheng left Emei early, Wang Fengzi is obsessed with medical skills, Zhao Zicheng was accidentally injured by Wang Feng and died, leaving Xuyun, a disciple whose martial arts are only in the second rate, not only can't support the façade, but the disciples below are not as good as one, this not only made Master Xuyun too anxious, but also made his disciples, including Yi'er, worry about the future of the Emei faction.
"Yi'er, you don't have to worry, there are hundreds of disciples of the Emei faction, such a big foundation, it is not said that it will collapse, as long as everyone cultivates diligently, there will be a day when the rivers and lakes will be revitalized." Lan Tian comforted.
"That being said, but look at it, our Emei faction, which disciple comes out and can hold the façade? This is not something that can be changed in a moment. Yi'er sighed.
"By the way, Yi'er, Lingya Zizi is also a disciple of the Emei faction, according to her current martial arts cultivation, she will become a first-class martial arts master in the Central Plains in a few years."
"Although this is good, but people have been practicing martial arts in the Qingcheng faction since they were children, and relying on her to grow Emei is a bit reluctant." Yi'er said.
"She can study Yuntong fingering well, according to his internal strength, with a little effort, Yuntong fingering can be higher than Xuyun Shitai, she uses this fingering to deal with the enemy, that is not a proper Emei disciple." Lan Tian said with relief.
"In addition to relying on spiritual teeth, for the sake of today's plan, it is still necessary to have a set of quick but advanced martial arts for my Emei faction to use, in order to solve the fundamental problem." Yi'er said.
The two of them said this, and suddenly they didn't say any more, Zhu Yu was on the side, and it was inconvenient to come out to see each other, so they just begged the two to leave by themselves after they left, but after waiting for a while, they heard Lan Tian say: "Yi'er, it's cold, let's go back!" After that, there was no sound.
Zhu Yu estimated that the two of them walked away, only then got up, looked at the moon in the sky, and sighed the joys and sorrows of life, he was thinking, Lan Tian and Yi'er are also a pair made in heaven, but can the two really love each other and go to the end without any entanglement?
When Zhu Yu walked back to the campsite, he was already a child, and he was worried about disturbing the people who were sleeping deeply, so he waved his hand to Master Zhang Lingtian, who was meditating cross-legged at the protrusion of the river bay, and lay down on the sand by the river.
The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, everyone gathered together and prepared to continue their journey westward.
"Going up the river, half a day's journey, there is a small village, which does not live much, but it is a distribution center for merchants, and when we get there, we can buy a few tents, three or two camels, and replenish our food supplies." Master Rufeng said.
"By the way, you can also inquire about Qiu Lin's whereabouts, since there is no man's land around, if Qiu Lin flees west, he will definitely go to the small village to buy food supplies." Master Zhang Lingtian's analysis was unanimously approved by everyone.
The river seemed to be often walked, so I stepped out of a path, and the walk was very smooth, and at noon, I saw a small village in front of me.
The village looks small, there are only about 20 households, when everyone walked to the entrance of the small village, they found that the village was quiet, as if no one lived, since there was no man's land around, this is the only way to connect the east and west, why is it so deserted, everyone unconsciously raised their vigilance.
"Zhu Yu, you and Lingyazi go first to check, you wait here, go and come back quickly." Master Empty said.
Zhu Yu and Lingyazi heard this, the two glanced at each other, and as soon as they raised their breath, they flew into the village, the two crossed over from the roof of the villagers' houses, checked one by one, and saw seven or eight people lying outside the courtyard gate of a family, and fell to check, and found that these people had been dead for a long time, Zhu Yu checked their bodies, and saw that these dead people were all in the palm of the chest, and there was a red handprint in the middle palm, and he couldn't help but be very strange.
"Lingyazi, judging from the palm prints, who do you think these people were beaten to death?" Zhu Yu asked Lingyazi.
"I don't know this, it stands to reason that the palm is poisonous, the palm print is black, the palm print is non-toxic, the palm print is cyan, and the red palm print can only show that there is no poison on the palm, but the palm power is too strong, and it broke the blood vessels, I don't know which faction in the Central Plains martial arts has such a powerful palm power." Lingyazi said.
"Let's take a look around and tell the Sky Master about them." Zhu Yu said.
Zhu Yu and Lingyazi lifted their spirits, flew over the village again, searched around, but did not see half a figure, so they turned around and returned to the entrance of the village.
When everyone followed Zhu Yu and Lingyazi to the seven or eight people who died, Yan Kun couldn't help but say loudly: "Just the year before last, I saw people killed by this palm technique, but until now, I don't know who has such a powerful palm power that can break people's blood vessels. ”
"It seems that it is likely that Qiu Lin did it, using the exercises of the Great Netherworld Sutra, Amitabha, sins and sins!" The Master of the Sky sighed.
"In such a big village, there can't be only so many people, the villagers must be scared, hiding, find them out and ask them, you can know who did it." Hearing Master Rufeng's reminder, everyone immediately split up to look for the villagers' houses, and after a while, they found more than a dozen villagers hiding at home.
The villagers were cautious, and when they came to the place where eight people fell to the ground, they saw that all the masters were facing charity, not like bad people, an old man in his sixties stood up and said boldly. "In the morning, just after dawn, Zhao Gang and I were ready to go hunting in the mountains." The old man said as he pointed to a corpse on the ground, indicating that the deceased's name was Zhao Gang.
