Chapter Seventy-Nine
Lu Chuan and the others walked for another half a day, and then they arrived at Baxian Town.
It was getting late, and the others went to the inn to rest first, and Tong Yinhuai went alone to find a place for Leng Longling to settle here.
As soon as he entered the inn, six people walked in from outside the door, and the others didn't know each other, but Lu Chuan was taken aback when he saw these six people!
The leader is an ape with a bee waist, a thin body, and a slight beard, all poking out like steel needles, carrying a sword on his back, and holding a whisk in his hand. This person is the first sword of the twelve swords of Wudang, riding an iron ox down the immortal mountain, Li Luo Li Qingying.
The turmeric skin behind him, looking a little sick, and his clothes are dirty and sloppy, is the fifth sword among the twelve swords of Wudang, the little sloppy Wei Wenyou Wei Zitai.
Then there is the third sword Sun Jiushu, the fourth sword Lu Chaoyi, the eleventh sword Duan Xueyu and Wan Chaoqing, who filled the vacancy of Lu Chuan and became the twelfth sword.
"Senior brother and sister, where are you from?"
I have to say that Lu Chuan is very happy to see a few of them here, including Wan Chaoqing, and now he is not so annoying. But Duan Xueyu and Wan Chaoqing appeared at the same time, and he was still a little awkward in his heart. After all, Duan Xueyu was the woman he really liked, and Wan Chaoqing was the rival who forced him to give up pursuing Duan Xueyu. Whenever the two of them appeared at the same time, he couldn't help but think of Taizipo's defeat and many other things.
"Xiaochuan, did you kill Zou Shizhen and his wife, the young head of the Wushan faction?"
Without waiting for others to speak, Duan Xueyu spoke quickly and asked first. Her temperament is actually with her father, and her father is Duan Hao, the king of the great pirates in the southeast coast, which is why she can send a famous overseas sword to Lu Chuan.
It stands to reason that with such a father, it should be difficult for Duan Xueyu to become a martial artist, but Duan Hao is also a strange person, firstly, he only does maritime business, only the business of foreigners, and secondly, he has to do what he likes every year, prepare some gifts, and give them to the heads of the five sects and thirteen factions. In this way, in the Central Plains Martial Arts, he not only has no notoriety, but even has an unusually large number of contacts.
However, as soon as Duan Xueyu said this, Lu Chuan was a little confused, he frowned slightly and asked, "Senior sister, what does Zou Shizhen look like?"
"You killed him without even knowing who he was?"
Lu Chuan was silent.
Sun Jiushu and Lu Chao were a little anxious, their friendship with Lu Chuan was deeper than anyone else's, and the two of them came over and grabbed Lu Chuan's hand and said, "Xiao Chuan, this matter is not trivial, did you kill them?"
"I don't know, senior brother, what's going on?"
Sun Lu and the others wanted to go on, but Li Luo stepped forward and asked, "Where are you on the ninth day of the winter month?"
Ye Wuxia and the others didn't leave when they saw Lu Chuan talking to people. Obedient and listening, Ye Wuxia was a little unkind when he heard the other party's question, so he walked over, stood side by side with Lu Chuan, and said: "On the ninth day of this month, we drank wine in Bazhou City for a day, and left the next morning. We have killed a lot of people along the way, but they are all small and small, and none of the swordsmen who are chivalrous and righteous have ever been killed. ”
Li Luo glanced at him and continued to ask Lu Chuan, "Where are you on the ninth night of the first month?"
At this time, everyone else also came over, Ke Juxian said: "We were in the inn on the ninth night of the first month, and when we went downstairs the next day, Lu Chuan just pushed the door out of the room......
Ke Juxian wanted to go on, but Lu Chuan interrupted him and said: "I ate too much wine and ate on the ninth night of the first month, wandered outside, and came back on the fifth watch." ”
"Are you out of town?"
"Out. ”
"Which side?"
"West of the city. ”
At this point, Li Luo's words were finished, everyone was silent for a long time, Wei Wenyou sighed softly, and said: "On the ninth night of the first month, Zou Shizhen and his wife were killed in the woods west of Bazhou City...... According to the Jianghu friends on the ground in Bazhou, among the people in Bazhou that day, only you had the ability to kill their couple, positively. ”
"It's not me ......" Lu Chuan instinctively said this, and then didn't speak again. Of course, he knew that he didn't kill himself, because he drank until he was eight or nine points drunk that day, and he still had a clear consciousness and knew what he did and didn't do anything, and it was precisely because he was eight or nine points drunk that he had no ability to kill the famous swordsman at all. When he went out of the city that day, he bought a small jar of wine, and when he went out of the city, he found a tree, and jumped three or four times before he could barely jump onto the tree, and after sitting on the tree and drinking it for a while, he fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already three days old, and the gates of the city were closed. It took him a lot of effort to enter the city, and when he entered the inn through the back door, it happened to be playing outside on the fifth watch.
But now, if the Wushan faction can invite half of the Wudang Twelve Swords to go down the mountain, it is not that they have no evidence and can explain it clearly in a few words. Talking too much is like a quibble, and it is better to keep silent.
Hearing Lu Chuan say that it wasn't him, Duan Xueyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Xiao Chuan, are you saying that you didn't kill him, right?
She and Lu Chuan went to Wudang Mountain in the same year, until Lu Chuan went down the mountain in a negative mood, the two got along day and night for ten years, it can be said that she is the person who knows Lu Chuan best, she knows that Lu Chuan will lie, if he looks flustered, or smiles and says, "I didn't kill him", then he must be lying, but like now, he stopped abruptly halfway through, he must not be lying, the person must not have been killed by him, but he didn't bother to justify, so he didn't continue to say.
Lu Chuan didn't speak, didn't answer, and under the gaze of everyone, he slowly sat down in his chair, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, everyone stopped asking, Ye Wuxia asked the six of them to sit down, and then asked, "Brother Sun, Brother Lu, what is going on?"
He heard Lu Chuan say that Lu Chuan's best friends on Wudang Mountain were Sun Jiushu and Lu Chaoyi, and he believed that these two would never harm Lu Chuan, so he asked the two of them.
Sun Jiushu sighed and didn't speak, but Lu Chaoyi said: "We have just arrived, and we don't know the specific situation, the bodies of Zou Shizhen and his wife are on their way, and when the bodies arrive, maybe they can see some clues, but ...... The swordsmen in the Sichuan and Shaanxi areas are basically on the way here. ”
Ye Wuxia frowned and said: "No, just because my sixth brother appeared in Bazhou, those people think that it was my sixth brother who killed Zou Shizhen and his wife? ”
"Xiaochuan's whereabouts are one aspect, and on the way here, we heard that Zou Shizhen and his wife died under the power of the palm. ”
"Palm power? Isn't this a joke, my sixth brother only has outstanding swordsmanship, and he has never practiced palm skills at all, how can he kill a famous swordsman with palm power?
"It's true that Xiao Chuan never practiced martial arts other than swordsmanship on the mountain, but ...... His Rage Dragonslayer......"
"What about killing the dragon man in a fit of rage?"
"I heard that the old-timers of the North Demon Road are good at using their palm power to kill people. ”
As soon as he said this, Ye Wuxia also understood that the speculation of the people in the rivers and lakes can really kill people.
