Volume 1 The Shadow of Xianyue Chapter 31 The Mist
Li Yiyang rarely saw Zhang Ke in a hurry, unless his food was robbed. Someone died suddenly, this news is the most absurd thing Li Yiyang has heard since he grew up, Hexuan Hall is a holy place for cultivation, in order to seek immortality, at least it is also to cultivate body and mind to transcend mortals, how can it be said that death will die.
He was also extremely surprised, the big and small conflicts between the disciples often occur, but no human life occurs, this unexpected news instantly shocked every disciple in the Hexuan Palace.
At this moment, in the middle of the night, the cold wind was slightly cold, and in Hexuandian Square, more than a dozen people surrounded a corpse, each surprised and puzzled.
Li Yiyang hurried over, still the last to arrive, walked into the crowd, the person lying on the ground shocked him, the dead person was Chen Yao who met in the evening!
The disciples looked solemn at the moment, and Zhou Da looked at it for a while, shook his head, and didn't find any heresy, only said that he couldn't think of committing suicide.
Li Yiyang didn't understand this conclusion very well, Chen Yao was a diligent and motivated person, although some disciples usually rejected him, but he would not commit suicide for this, he stepped forward to investigate the body, Chen Yao's body had no external injuries, internal injuries, just black eye circles.
Li Yiyang thought about it, could it be that he was poisoned and died, thinking that some villagers in Shanxian Village had died of plague before, and at first he couldn't find out the reason, but his face was black and bleeding.
But Chen Yao has a strong physique, and he has broken through the mortal body and reached the spirit stage, what poison can put him to death.
There was no trace of blood on Chen Yao's body, and the cause of death was so strange that the disciples present fell into a mystery and unknown fear.
Zhou Da, as the acting head of the sect, felt that he had to calm the scene at this moment, and when he saw Li Yiyang squatting beside the corpse and thinking, he said, "When was the last time you saw Senior Brother Chen?"
A disciple said, "I saw him practicing alone today, and I didn't care about it after that. ”
Another disciple said, "In the evening, I saw him and Li... Senior Brother Li Yiyang talked about it, and he didn't see him when he ate later. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and your eyes finally fell on Li Yiyang's back.
Zhou Da frowned, and said, "Li Yiyang! What did you tell him! Since you were the last to see him, you were the most suspicious person!"
Li Yiyang got up and turned around, and when he saw that everyone's faces were unhappy, he said, "I just chatted with him a few words in the evening, why do you say that I am suspicious?"
Zhou Da was about to argue, but Duanmu Jiao walked out and said, "At night, I saw him practicing swordsmanship in the corner of the wall alone. ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded, knowing that Chen Yao was working very hard, and it was common for him to hide alone and practice alone, Zhou Da saw Duanmu Jiao talking, so he said: "Well, in this case, Senior Brother Chen's usual cultivation progress is slow, and he continues to practice but can't achieve the desired results, Senior Brother Chen may not be able to figure it out and commit suicide." ”
Li Yiyang said, "Where did you find Senior Brother Chen's body?"
At this time, Zhao Kaitai, who had never been too lazy to speak, said: "I found it near Qingxuantang." ”
"When?"
"It's about midnight. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zhao Kaitai, and Zhou Da asked, "Senior Brother Kaitai, what are you doing in Qingxuantang in the middle of the night?"
Zhao Kaitai said: "I went to the master's yard to see if the blue water bottle flashed, it was the signal left by the little sister to return to the mountain." ”
Most of Zhao Kaitai's words were not well understood, and only Li Yiyang, Zhou Da and others knew about it.
Zhang Keren was in charge of today's ward rounds, so he said: "When I counted the number of people before going to bed, he was in the room and didn't know how to run out." ”
Everyone fell into confusion, and suddenly a disciple died inexplicably, this kind of matter is considered a major matter in Qingshan Palace, and the teachers of Jingyuan Hall must be notified to deal with it.
Zhou Da was ready to report to his superiors that Chen Yao had committed suicide, but Li Yiyang thought that it was not suicide but poisoning, and reported to the superior elders for his death due to poisoning.
But because there was no evidence, he didn't believe that Chen Yao committed suicide, so he said: "If you want to tell the teachers of Jingyuan Hall that Senior Brother Chen committed suicide, how ridiculous is that, those elders have always been proud of Qingshan Palace, do you want to say that a disciple who does not practice well and commits suicide, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Qingshan Palace, wouldn't it mean that we Hexuan Palace will not be a disciple." ”
Zhou Dadao: "Then what do you say!"
Li Yiyang said: "I think Senior Brother Chen died of poisoning, and it is not ordinary poison, his eyes are black, his face is purple and blue, it is caused by the damage to the five qi in his chest, so if it is poisoned, then we are in danger!"
Zhou Dadao: "It cannot be ruled out that he committed suicide by taking poison, his bones are not cold now, and he needs to deal with it quickly, whether he is poisoned or not, bury his body first." ”
Everyone had no objection to this, just wait for Lu Youxuan to come back and report to him, and Zhou Da ordered a few senior brothers to bury Chen Yao in a closed place behind the Hexuan Palace, which was once the place where Li Yiyang was confined.
There is a cemetery built on the mountain behind Qingshan Palace, which is the treatment that only celebrities in the palace can have, like outstanding talents in the past dynasties, palace masters in previous dynasties, etc., spiritual disciples like Chen Yao, in fact, they are dead and reported to the elders, and the elders may not pay attention to them.
The sect of Qingshan Palace is huge, but there are fewer people in the Hexuan Palace, and the other halls are still in full swing, like the Chongxing Palace, there are nearly a thousand people.
The treatment of spiritual disciples in Qingshan Palace is only better than that of miscellaneous disciples, even if they die, it stands to reason that they should be cremated, and there will be no burial, but if they want to be cremated, they have to find their parents to make plans again.
This matter was hastily decided, and everyone continued to practice as usual the next day, Chen Yao's death was determined to be a suicide, and for Li Yiyang, he never believed it.
He secretly obtained the "Cultivation Book" from Zhou Dana, which was a new record, which recorded the background and practice of the twenty-one disciples currently owned by the Hexuan Temple.
He turned the page that recorded Chen Yao, which read: "Chen Yao, a native of Niutou Village, Zhiyu City, his parents died early, his family was poor, when recruiting apprentices, he took the initiative to sign up, and at the age of fifteen went to Qingshan Palace to enter the Hexuan Palace, he was gentle and polite, diligent and hardworking, and had no bad records...
Li Yiyang closed the book, and judging from the known clues, Chen Yao did not offend others, and he did not have any deep hatred before, and the conclusion of suicide is the best explanation now.
Duanmu Jiao saw him reading under the tree, so he walked curiously and said, "Yo~ You can still read?"
Li Yiyang said: "Don't you think Senior Brother Chen died strangely, I always feel that someone deliberately did it." ”
Duanmu Jiao thought for a moment and said, "You mean he didn't commit suicide? What clues did you find?"
"No, are you afraid, sleep alone in the old yard, or tonight..."
Before he finished speaking, Duanmu Jiao immediately stopped: "Come on, don't be afraid, you are afraid of me?"
Li Yiyang smiled bitterly, put down the "Cultivation Book", and sighed, Chen Yao has already entered the ground, if you want to find clues, you have to dig up the autopsy, if you can't find it, wouldn't it destroy his bones in vain.
He thought about it again and again, but he still didn't have a clue, Duanmu Jiao saw the "Practice Book" on the ground, and immediately picked it up and looked through it.
The above record is different from the version she has read before, the first page is also Li Yiyang, but it only records Li Yiyang's practice, and his illness is not recorded, only written until he is fifteen years old.
Duanmu Jiao was deeply puzzled, the previous practice book recorded in detail was very detailed, why did the master Lu Youxuan hide Li Yiyang's case alone, no wonder Zhou Da and the new disciples did not know about Li Yiyang's illness.
She looked at it carefully several times, and it only recorded the twenty disciples of the Hexuan Hall today, which she had not known before.
Li Yiyang snatched the book and said, "I've seen enough, these are not what you should have read, I stole them from Zhou Da, and now I have to return them."
Duanmu Jiao said: "Oh~ Let him know that you are finished." ”
"~ Otherwise, you can help me go back, he is so obsessed with you, no matter what, he won't blame you. Li Yiyang touched Duanmujiao's head, smiled slightly, and went back to the room.
This night, Li Yiyang sat in the room drinking tea and studying "Qimen Dunjia's Fu", but he couldn't stand it, and he was haunted by Chen Yao's death, and he always felt that things were not so simple.
Putting on the Taoist talisman clothes, Li Yiyang opened the door and walked out, before the rest time at this moment, there was no one in the Hexuan Palace, presumably it was the dead silence brought about by Chen Yao's inexplicable death, all the disciples stayed in the room at the moment, and occasionally urinated urgently, and came out to go to the toilet.
Li Yiyang sighed, but at this moment, there was bad news, another disciple died!
Someone died for two nights in a row, which made the remaining disciples of the Hexuan Hall begin to feel uneasy, and some wanted to say goodbye to the mountain early tomorrow morning.
Fortunately, Zhou Da's strict education stabilized the panic of the disciples. This disciple's death is exactly the same as Chen Yao's, and there is no heresy.
An unknown darkness seemed to be enveloping the Hexuan Temple. Some disciples secretly speculated that the Hexuan Hall was a sacred place for the immortals, and if such an evil thing occurred, they would blame all this for the feng shui of the Hexuan Palace.
After another night, at this moment, everyone's hearts were secretly trembling, for fear of being poisoned, and some timid new disciples were afraid to go to the toilet in a daze, and held back.
And at this moment, the acting head of Zhou Da, but walked to Duanmu Jiao's room alone, Duanmu Jiao must be frightened and restless in such a big old courtyard.
Why don't you go to the hero to save the beauty, Zhou Da nodded, but when he got on the road, he met Li Yiyang.
Li Yiyang also wanted to go to see Duanmujiao's situation, for fear that this weak woman would be hurt, and the two met and were speechless for a while.
"Ah!! someone!" It was at this moment that Duanmu Jiao's voice roared like thunder in the extraordinarily silent Hexuan Palace, startling Li Yiyang and Zhou Da like lightning.
