Volume of the Secret Realm of Martial Arts Chapter 70 The undercurrent behind the invasion and murder of the Lingquan Treasure Pavilion
"It's great that the young man can understand. Hearing Liu Zai's expressions of understanding, Jie Qiuyuan smiled heartily, and resumed his chic and uninhibited Uncle Saobao.
"Senior, I don't know if something big has happened to you. Liu Zai asked.
Jie Qiuyuan said: "Yes, someone broke into the Lingquan Treasure Pavilion of Tianji Peak, where Puluo Mountain collects classics, snatched some things, and killed and injured several elder disciples, I have announced a search of the whole city, immediately sealed the entrance to the mountain gate, and ordered the Tianchen Warrior Regiment to enter the city to maintain order." ”
"Who is the enemy? Is it a peerless secret book?" In the novels that Liu Zai used to read, the martial arts catastrophe was often because of a secret book, and practicing it could dominate the rivers and lakes, Liu Zai would not be interested in any secret book, he didn't think that there would be any secret tips here that could match the Heart Sutra of Revolutionizing the Heavenly Mandate and Transforming the Dragon and Exterminating the Dao that he was now cultivating.
"It's not a martial arts secret, it's a strange book that no one has been able to understand for hundreds of years. But after all, it was handed down by the ancestors, and it had something special in itself, so it had been idle at the top of the Lingquan Treasure Pavilion. It's still unclear what the identity of the other party is, and it's the second time we've encountered this kind of thing when outsiders invade Puluo Mountain, and the last time it was fortunate that no one was killed, and it was resolved peacefully, but this time since it hurt people's lives, it is impossible to give up. In the end, there was a murderous atmosphere in his words.
"Seal the mountain gate, can I go out?"
"What? Liu Shaoxia already wants to leave. Jieqiu Yuan said.
Liu Zai replied: "Well, originally I hoped to go to the library in Puluo Mountain to study, but now it seems that it is obviously impossible. ”
"Mountain master, he can't leave, even if he is not a murderer, it may not have nothing to do with the person who broke into the mountain, not long after he came to the Chongyang Secret Realm, there was such a big incident, and the suspicion is too great. "Chai Huo walked over with the help of the samurai, he was not seriously injured, Liu Zheng is a good boy who grew up under the red flag, not the decisive male protagonist in the novel, he is not heavy-handed, he only needs to recuperate for half a month to recover.
"If you don't leave, you won't leave, I'm not a big deal anyway. But senior, if you can't catch the murderer in a month......"
"Then let Liu Shaoxia leave. Jie Qiuyuan continued.
"It's a deal. ”
After Jie Qiuyuan left with firewood and others, Zhou Zhen dared to come up: "You are really beyond my expectations, after this battle, no one dares to ask you for trouble casually." ”
Liu Zai smiled: "What's the matter, you don't want to challenge me." ”
"Challenge a fart!" Zhou Zhen glanced at him: "Although Miss Ben is belligerent, she is not looking for a sadist, and she sends herself to be seconded." ”
"How is it, nothing happened, right?" Zhu Qi flashed over like a gust of wind, in fact, she had already come, this was just a battle between the two masters just now, her cultivation was weak, and she only dared to watch from afar, and she didn't dare to walk in until the head of the Chai family "flew" out.
Zhu Qi looked Liu Zai up and down, and a pink fist hammered on his chest: "You can do it, you, the head of the Chai family has been defeated by you in person, and even I will call you Brother Zai in the future." ”
Zhou Zhen teased: "Xiaoqi, you care about Liu Shaoxia very much." ”
Zhu Qi's face turned red: "I care about everyone, especially my little brother. ”
The three chatted for a while, and from Zhou Zhen's mouth, they knew the whole story.
According to Zhou Zhen's understanding, today there are several black-clothed people with extremely high martial arts who attacked the Lingquan Treasure Pavilion of Tianji Peak, where Puluo Mountain collects classics, and killed all the way to the top, snatching an important thing, and killing a few elders who guard the pavilion, It is said that the other party did not use any modern technological weapons, so it is not certain whether they are from the outside world or from the inner part of the Chongyang Secret Territory. When the mountain lord arrived, the battle was over, and the man in black was nowhere to be seen. After more than three hours, the searching disciples found Chai Dong's broken body at the bottom of the mountain.
And Zhou Zhen immediately brought the children of the family to Tianji Peak after returning home, and just rushed to the scene to take a look, just one glance She vomited on the spot, uh, now that I think about it, I still want to vomit.
Liu Zai asked, "Did those men in black do it?"
Zhou Zhen said: "I'm not sure, it stands to reason that if you are found to kill someone when you escape, you don't need to break the corpse, how cruel it is." ”
Liu Zai asked again: "How did the Lord of Jieshan deal with this matter?" ”
Zhou Zhen said: "Blocking the news, the body was handed over to Puluoshan to take over, and the autopsy was secretly conducted by Puluoshan." ”
"Didn't the Chai family participate in the investigation?" Zhu Qi wondered.
"No, the mountain lord has issued a strict order, and it is strange to say that Chai Dong is the most important disciple of the Chai family, and the Chai family is one of the six families, and there are many masters. Moreover, Chai Dong has graduated from Puluo Mountain, and he is not a disciple of Puluo Mountain, his death should not prohibit the Chai family from participating in the investigation. Zhou Zhen said.
The Chai family is one of the most powerful families in the Chongyang Secret Realm, although Jie Qiuyuan is the nominal supreme power as the lord of Puluo Mountain, but the head of the Chai family is not absolutely subordinate to him, since Jie Qiuyuan has forced the Chai family not to participate in the investigation of Chai Dong's death, it is conceivable that it will definitely be very unpleasant.
Soon, the latest news came from the campus square: due to the invasion of the Lingquan Treasure Pavilion, this year's martial arts were suspended, and the finals were held in the Tianwu Temple Square of the Ancestral Temple on the day of the ancestral temple worship.
Liu Zai secretly said that it was a pity, so he would not be able to see the finals, the ancestral temple was a holy place dedicated to Wang Chongyang and the ancestors of the Chongyang Secret Realm, and he was absolutely not allowed to enter as an outsider, even if he was a distinguished guest of the mountain lord.
At that time, the only people who can watch the game will be those who participate in the ancestor worship.
When Zhou Zhen left, she told that the town would not be peaceful in the past two days, and it was best to stay at home and not go out to play.
Seeing Zhou Zhen go away, Zhu Qi asked, "Are you leaving?"
Liu Zai replied: "Let's watch first, I'll leave in a month at most, what about you?"
Zhu Qi brushed the hair in front of his forehead: "I originally wanted to leave after worshipping my ancestors, but I didn't expect this incident, it seems that I will deduct my salary when I go back." ”
Liu Zai said: "You are working in Yanjing, I will return to Yanjing after I finish my cultivation journey, and I will come to you when the time comes." ”
Zhu Qi smiled: "Okay." ”
Resting in the room at night, Liu Zai closed his eyes and thought about what happened today. The invasion of Lingquan Treasure Pavilion, the murder of Chai Dong, the prohibition of the Chai family from participating in the investigation, the mountain lord ordered the mountain gate to be closed, the Tianchen Warrior Regiment was transferred to martial law, the patrol guard searched the whole city, and the major families closed their doors, and there seemed to be something hidden behind this information.
The Tianchen Warrior Regiment is the only military team in the Chongyang Secret Realm, and only the Lord of Puluo Mountain can be mobilized, so of course there is nothing wrong with mobilizing the Tianchen Warrior Regiment at this juncture, but Puluo Mountain is the center of power, and it is also the storage place of many important martial arts classics, and the number of enemies who come to attack is obviously not very large.
If the enemy is someone from outside, then they have only one way to get out, after all, the Chongyang Secret Realm is a spatial plane, and they only need to take the mountain gate to catch turtles in the urn, and the other party can only hide in the city or in the wild. Isn't it easy for outsiders to check in the city? The patrol guard team is more than enough, you must know that Liu Zheng was surrounded by several elders with the patrol guard team within half a day of coming in that day. If it is in the wilderness, then the Tianchen Warrior Regiment should be looking for people all over the mountains and wilderness now, why is there any need to transfer to the city.
Protecting the town? No, right? The town doesn't have any important places such as military bases, so what is there to protect.
Assassination and blasting? The other side obviously has a clear mission and goal, and it is not a terrorist who is engaged in sabotage, what is the need and benefit of destroying towns? Moreover, which of those families is not surrounded by masters, as long as there is preparation, how can it be so easy to behead.
This is like a central base where important information is stored and attacked by elite special forces, and the best way is not to seal off the key checkpoints of the base and wait for the rabbits? How can there be any reason to scatter all the troops out to look for the enemy, and isn't this to give the special forces a chance to break through?
And Chai Dong's death is also quite strange, why did Jieqiuyuan not allow the Chai family to participate in the investigation? It doesn't make sense to be reasonable, the Chongyang Secret Realm is not Huaxia Kingdom, the government controls all judicial powers, and the major families are equivalent to small princes, and it is no problem for the disciples in the clan to be executed by themselves if they violate the clan rules, and they don't need to report to Puluoshan, which is impossible in Huaxia.
All this, I feel that Jieqiuyuan is not guarding against the so-called invaders, but - the major families!
This makes sense, the Tianchen Warrior Regiment was mobilized to threaten the major families, but why? Could it be that it was the masters of the families who invaded the Lingquan Treasure Pavilion, yes, Zhou Zhen's tone today obviously suspected that the invaders were not people from the outside world at all, but masters of the Chongyang Secret Realm, so where else could there be such a master besides the family?
Even if they are really people from the outside world, there must be inner ghosts in the Chongyang Secret Realm, because their actions today are meticulous and obviously have a whole set of plans, without internal ghosts, how can they know everything about Puluo Mountain, which has been isolated from the world for hundreds of years. Could it be that Chai Dong is the inner ghost? It was precisely because of this that Jie Qiuyuan had to hold the investigation power tightly in his hands, and did not hesitate to offend the Chai family.
It is also reminiscent of the contradiction between the left and the right in the Chongyang Secret Realm, the decades-long debate over foreign policy over whether or not to be born, and the power struggle between the family and Puluoshan from ancient times to the present.
It's a bit messy, the amount of information is slightly larger, Liu Zai rubbed his head, and almost overthought his brain again.
Liu Zai felt that he was in the center of a huge whirlpool, and the undercurrent under the seemingly calm Chongyang Secret Realm was turbulent, and the water was very deep, and the little shrimp were crushed if they were not careful.
He really wants to leave now, he wants to leave this place of right and wrong, and it is not difficult to leave with his ability. But he thought of Zhu Qi, Wu Xu, Zheng Xuqing, Zhou Zhen, Zhou Jiao and others, the friends he had made in the Chongyang Secret Realm, whether they would be buried in this whirlpool. Although he had only known each other for a few days, he couldn't let go of these people anymore.
Some people are still strangers after years of getting along, and some people can form a life-and-death friendship with just an exchange of eyes.
Maybe it's because of martial arts, maybe it's fate, Liu Zai found that he already had a concern for the Chongyang Secret Realm and these people, and he couldn't ignore their situation.
That's it, it's really inappropriate to leave now, let's take one step at a time. Liu Zai is not worried about his own safety, he has enough hole cards, there is no problem in self-preservation, when the time comes, act at the opportunity and do his best to protect his friends.
