Volume 1 The Adventures of a Teenager Chapter 199 Another Man Died
After sending away Qinglian Xiangxiang, the Taihe Sword Sect completely quieted down.
Su Jingxuan looked at the direction of the mountain gate and was stunned, and Zhang Ze, Cheng You and other inner disciples came over.
"Senior Brother Zhang, you go down the mountain. Su Jingxuan said softly.
"Senior sister?" Zhang Ze looked at Su Jingxuan with a stunned expression, and said hurriedly: "Now that Sun Haoyue's death has not been ascertained, how can I ......?"
"You still need to guard the mountain gate. Su Jingxuan said: "Other disciples are guarding the door, I don't worry." ”
Zhang Ze couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately understood what Su Jingxuan meant, and then took a deep breath and said, "Okay! I will definitely guard the mountain gate and never let idle people go up the mountain easily." ”
Su Jingxuan nodded, and then said, "Don't let people go down the mountain easily." ”
After speaking, Su Jingxuan looked at Zhang Ze with a serious and serious gaze.
Zhang Ze didn't feel a chill in his heart.
Su Jingxuan's words were very straightforward, all the disciples present were disciples of the Taihe Sword Sect, if there was no master's mission, who would easily go down the mountain? So who else on the Taihe Mountain could leave freely, but now they couldn't leave?
The answer is obvious.
Zhang Ze hesitated, but couldn't help but ask, "Senior sister, are you still suspicious of Brother Shen?"
Su Jingxuan didn't answer, but turned her face away and looked away.
But how could Zhang Ze not understand what she meant?
Sighing helplessly, Zhang Ze arched his hand at Su Jingxuan, and said softly: "If Senior Sister has any send, send a disciple to pass on the message to me." The junior brother left. ”
After speaking, Zhang Ze sighed, turned around and walked towards the mountain gate.
Su Jingxuan slowly turned her head at this time and muttered to herself: "Senior brother, it's not that senior sister wants to suspect Brother Shen, it's just that the sect is in an eventful time, and I have to ......be like this."
Immediately, Su Jingxuan turned around and looked at Cheng You and the others with strange faces, and said with a slight frown: "Senior Brother Cheng, Senior Sister Liang, the two of you quickly go to the back mountain to inform the Sword Elder about Sun Haoyue's killing." Senior Brother Luo and Senior Sister Yu, the two of you led the outer disciples to carefully investigate the sect up and down, paying attention to checking whether there were any clues about Sun Haoyue's murder everywhere, no matter how small the clues were, they must be carefully recorded. ”
Cheng You and the others hurriedly led their orders to leave, Su Jingxuan glanced at the sky, and then walked alone to the valley on the west side of the sect.
About half an hour later, Su Jingxuan walked to a wooden house and knocked on the wooden door.
"Who?"
A rather flirtatious voice came from inside the room.
Su Jingxuan couldn't help frowning and said, "It's me." Senior Brother Mu, open the door. ”
The door creaked open, and Mu Xiaochen, who was dressed in sackcloth, looked at Su Jingxuan with a smile and said, "Senior sister, why are you free?"
"You wrote this note?"
Su Jingxuan held up a gray strip of cloth with the words "Someone stole the book" written on it.
It's just that the words on the cloth strip are not only crooked, but also the handwriting is a little blurry, which does not look like an ordinary pen and ink calligraphy.
Mu Xiaochen's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he smiled: "Sure enough, I still can't hide it from Senior Sister." Yes, I wrote the words. ”
"Who stole the book, and which book did you steal?" asked Su Jingxuan bluntly.
"People of the Demon Cult. Mu Xiaochen's face was straight, and he said: "The book stolen is "Twenty-Seven Holy Chronicles". ”
Su Jingxuan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said coldly: "Why don't you tell me directly about this matter? Is it a trivial matter recorded in the "Twenty-Seven Sacred Chronicles"? Now that it has been stolen by the Demon Sect, can you afford the consequences?"
Mu Xiaochen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Senior sister, calm your anger! Last night, junior brother, I also accidentally discovered this matter, and I happened to find traces of the demon sect, that thief is very good, and the junior brother can barely keep up with it." Only when the demon secretly flipped through the classics did the junior brother take off the corner of his clothes and bite his finger to write these four words!"
When Su Jingxuan heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.
Indeed, the words on the strip of cloth look like they were drawn by fingers, and there is indeed a piece missing from the corner of Mu Xiaochen's shirt.
"Then I'm wrong about you. Su Jingxuan frowned.
"That's not a problem!" Mu Xiaochen smiled and said, "After all, this is what the junior brother should do......!
"Where's the book?" Su Jingxuan didn't bother to listen to Mu Xiaochen's nonsense, and asked directly.
Mu Xiaochen couldn't help but look suffocated, and said embarrassedly: "...... Don't teach thieves to steal ...... Stealed......"
Su Jingxuan sneered when she heard this, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaochen hurriedly said: "But the thief who stole the book was beaten to death!"
"Huh?" Su Jingxuan raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's talk about it carefully." ”
Mu Xiaochen nodded and talked about what happened last night.
It turned out that after Shen Qi left last night, Mu Xiaochen was awakened by the night wind, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Shen Qi was not here. So he looked around, but he accidentally saw a figure in a night suit, and Mu Xiaochen followed from a distance.
Unexpectedly, the other party's light skills were excellent, and his vigilance was also extremely strong, and Mu Xiaochen almost lost it several times. Fortunately, he was extremely familiar with the Taihe Sword Sect and Taihe Mountain, so he kept up with the figure of the man in black.
Seeing the figure of the other party sneaking into the "Forget Worry Pavilion", Mu Xiaochen couldn't help but be frightened.
The "Forget Worry Pavilion" is the private study of the head of the Taihe Sword Sect, Ren Qiu Dao Chief, and even the senior sister Su Jingxuan is not qualified to enter it on weekdays. The treasures in the pavilion are also the private collections of the head of the hill.
Therefore, Mu Xiaochen hurriedly tore off the corner of his clothes, bit his finger and wrote the words "someone stole the book", and when the other party got the "Twenty-Seven Saints" and left, Mu Xiaochen shot the cloth strip with a dart to Su Jingxuan's window not far away.
Then Mu Xiaochen wanted to show up to stop the man in black, but he didn't expect that when he found the trace of the man in black again, the other party actually had a helper.
So Mu Xiaochen had to hide his figure and secretly follow the two.
The man in black before probably also regarded the man in black who appeared later as a helper, and when he saw that the other party asked for the "Twenty-Seven Saints' Chronicle", he did not hesitate to take it out and give it to the other party. But unexpectedly, the man in black who appeared later was quite bloated, and suddenly stabbed the man in black in the chest with a sword.
By the time Mu Xiaochen reacted, the man had already run away with the book, and Mu Xiaochen was not in a hurry to catch up, so he had to start with the man in black who had stolen the book before.
Unexpectedly, the man was dying, and he couldn't live, although Mu Xiaochen knew that stealing the "Twenty-Seven Holy Chronicles" was not a trivial matter, but he thought of the deceased as the greatest, so he still buried the man in black hastily.
Of course, Mu Xiaochen couldn't help but take off the mask of the man in black in the end, but when he saw the other party's appearance, he was shocked.
The other party turned out to be a woman, and it was a young girl with an excellent figure, of course, Mu Xiaochen also recognized the identity of the other party.
"Who is it?" Su Jingxuan couldn't help but interject when she heard this.
"Lan Jiabao, Lan Ying!" Mu Xiaochen said in a deep voice.
If Shen Qi was here, he would definitely be surprised. Because he had seen Lan Ying in Tianxia Town a few days ago, when she was besieging Fan Yuzhu with the witches Li Qiao'er and Bai Wuxing. Although I don't know what happened to a few people later, they were still alive at that time.
"It is rumored that Lanjiabao seems to have colluded with the Demon Sect. Su Jingxuan said: "Could it be...... Is there someone in the Demon Sect who wants the Twenty-Seven Sacred Chronicles?"
Mu Xiaochen shook his head a little dazedly, indicating that he didn't know about this matter.
Su Jingxuan waved her hand and said, "What happened later?"
Mu Xiaochen's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Later, I saw Brother Shen. ”
"Shen Qi?" Su Jingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Have you seen him?"
"He spent the night with me last night. Mu Xiaochen said.
"I see. Su Jingxuan nodded and said, "What did he do last night?"
"Killed. Mu Xiaochen said in a deep voice.
"Killed whom?"
"A masked man in black should be a member of the Demon Cult. ”
"Oh, why do you think so?"
"The man in black is supposed to be in the same league as the previous book thief, and he seems to be in the lead. Mu Xiaochen said in a deep voice.
"Have you ever seen a book?" asked Su Jingxuan with a frown.
"It should be on Shen Qi. ”
"What?" Su Jingxuan couldn't help but be stunned and said, "You saw it with your own eyes?"
"It's not. Mu Xiaochen shook his head and said: "At that time, I didn't dare to get close, and when I finally went to search for the body, I didn't find the "Twenty-Seven Sage Chronicles", I think either Shen Qi took it away, or Yu Xiang'er took it." ”
"How can there be Yu Xiang'er?" Su Jingxuan was a little speechless, and said, "How many people did you meet last night?"
Mu Xiaochen thought for a while and said, "Five." The first thing I encountered was Lan Ying, who stole the book, and the man in black who came later killed Lan Ying, and then wanted to kill Yu Xiang'er, but was defeated by Shen Qi, and finally the man in black who seemed to be the leader, wanted to kill Yu Xiang'er and Shen Qi, but was killed by Shen Qi's punch. ”
"Hmm. Su Jingxuan thought for a moment and said, "What happened to the second man in black? ”
"Killed by Yu Xiang'er. Mu Xiaochen said.
"Oh?" Su Jingxuan said, "In other words, the three black-clothed people last night were all dead, and only Shen Qi and Yu Xiang'er were alive?"
Mu Xiaochen nodded, and then added: "By the way, I seem to vaguely see that Yu Xiang'er should have handed over something to Shen Qi, and I suspect that it is the Twenty-Seven Sage Chronicles." ”
Su Jingxuan nodded lightly and said in a low voice, "Shen Qi...... Demon Cult ...... Yu Xiang'er, it seems that you have nothing to do with this matter. ”
Poor Shen Qi was imprisoned by the Taihe Sword Sect in disguise, and now he was misunderstood by Su Jingxuan. It seems that it is not so easy to leave the Taihe Sword Sect safely.
It is said that after Zhang Ze was arranged by Su Jingxuan to continue to guard the mountain gate, he walked down the mountain with a frown, but he kept thinking about Sun Haoyue's murder in his heart.
"Strange...... It stands to reason that the secret weapon that Brother Shen can avoid should not have been issued by such a powerful person, but why didn't anyone present see it clearly? And according to Senior Brother Fang's description, the direction that Shen Qi's back was facing should be the fourth and fifth rings. Could it be that it was the players who came to participate in the 'Youth Heroes Meeting'?" Zhang Ze couldn't help frowning deeply, "But...... I haven't heard of any young masters in the rivers and lakes who are good at hidden weapons......"
Just when Zhang Ze was secretly pondering, a scream suddenly came from the woods not far away.
"Huh?" Zhang Ze couldn't help but be startled, and immediately got up, jumped onto a tall tree, and then looked at the direction and jumped onto another tree, and his figure slowly swept in the direction where the screams came.
After a few breaths, Zhang Ze's figure stopped steadily on a tree with dense foliage. The screams came from under the trees.
Zhang Ze held his breath, gently brushed aside a few layers of leaves, and looked down.
The two masked men held swords and hurriedly swept to the side, and there was a figure lying on the ground that made Zhang Ze feel a little familiar, but at the moment he was in a high place, and the figure was lying on the ground again, and he couldn't see the face, but the clothes made Zhang Ze a little familiar.
After waiting for four or five breaths to make sure that the previous masked man would not return, Zhang Ze jumped off the tree.
"Hey!"
Zhang Ze patted the person lying on the ground, but the other party did not move.
Zhang Ze couldn't help frowning slightly, and turned the man's body over. But he only saw that there was an inch-long wound on the other party's chest, which was bubbling with blood, and he reached out to probe his nose, but the other party was already dead.
But when he saw the other party's face clearly, Zhang Ze couldn't help but be stunned.
"This ...... Isn't this the dart master who came with Brother Shen yesterday?"
That's right, it was Feng Buyi, the chief dart head of the Shanhe Dart Bureau, who died!
