27 The heavens show the grace of God
Another half hour passed, and the night grew darker. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhuang Haoming had recovered most of his strength, and struggled to get up and eat half a steamed bun. In this day, not only has his appearance aged by more than ten years, but his eyes, which originally contained fine light, have now become a little dull and distracted.
Xie Yixiang saw that Lord Lu had fallen asleep, so he said to Zhuang Haoming, "What are your plans in the future?"
She didn't call Zhuang Haoming "uncle", but called her "you", and Zhuang Haoming naturally heard her dissatisfaction. At that moment, Zhuang Haoming said in a low voice: "Yixiang, now, it is already a state of exhaustion, but I am afraid that there will be no turnaround." When the sky dawns, you will leave well, Li Weiyao What they are looking for is me after all, and they will not embarrass you. Without waiting for Xie Yixiang to answer, he said in a deep voice: "This is the order of the chief arrester of the criminal arrest room." ”
Xie Yixiang didn't answer with a calm face, but shook her head resolutely.
Zhuang Haoming saw her like this, and knew that once this girl made up her mind, no one in the world could persuade her, so he had to smile bitterly: "Most of the people outside who want to seek revenge on me are because relatives and friends died in my hands." Although I am only doing things for the imperial court, everything is punished according to the law, but no matter what excuse I use, killing people is still killing people after all, and sooner or later there will be retribution. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, the corners of his eyes were wrinkled, and he said: "I think someone in my village has lived most of his life, and now he is nearly seventy years old, and he has lived long enough." ”
Xie Yixiang frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Could it be that you still refuse to tell the purpose of our trip?" Before she finished speaking, Zhuang Haoming hurriedly said: "Yixiang, do you know that last night, when I was killed by the 'soul snatcher', why was it not Xiao Jia, but Lao Xue?"
Hearing him suddenly mention this, Xie Yixiang was stunned for a moment. Too many things have happened one after another in this day, and I have temporarily forgotten the mysterious killing of Xue Zhiyan last night. Although she knew that Zhuang Haoming was changing the topic, she couldn't help but ask, "Have you already understood the mystery?"
Zhuang Haoming nodded and said slowly: "I just slept a little, and many things were connected by me. The old and the young, the so-called 'dragon maidens', I can already be sure that they are indeed members of the Divine Fire Sect. That old man fought with me twice, once in Yueyang City and once on Dongting Lake, and the kung fu he used, if I guessed correctly, was the supreme 'Heavenly Dew Divine Grace Heart Method' in the Divine Fire Sect back then. ”
After he said this, he saw that Xie Yixiang was indifferent, and couldn't help asking: "This 'Tianlu Divine Grace Heart Method', haven't you heard of it?" Xie Yixiang shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”
Zhuang Haoming let out an "oh" and said with some surprise: "There are four treasures of the Divine Fire Sect, the 'Jiaolong Absorbing Sea Strength' that is just and yang, the strange book "Flesh and White Bone" that changes the appearance of the body at will, the 'Ugin Maha Staff', which ranks third among the seven great martial arts soldiers, and the 'Heavenly Dew Divine Grace Heart Method' that is demagogic. Back then, the power of the Divine Fire Sect spread all over the Central Plains, and your father Xie Feng Xuan Xie was born in this sect, as far as I know, he seems to have practiced a little bit of this 'Heavenly Dew Divine Grace Heart Method'. Did he never mention it to you?"
Xie Yixiang shook her head and said, "Dad, he rarely mentions the Divine Fire Sect to me. When she said this, she seemed to think of something.
Zhuang Haoming stared at her silently for a moment, nodded, and said, "This 'Heavenly Dew Divine Grace Heart Method' is not strictly speaking a martial art, but a demagogic illusion. In other words, the old man was not actually using martial arts, but illusions he created to confuse his opponents. I fought him twice, but I still couldn't break the true meaning of this witchcraft, so I was defeated. So I suspect that Lao Xue fell for his magic and died violently for no reason. As for the scars on Lao Xue's neck and the 'soul snatcher', most of them are just tricks. ”
Xie Yixiang had also heard a little about this kind of illusion, and when she heard Zhuang Haoming's explanation, she immediately understood the key. The reason why I can't see the old man's appearance clearly is probably not the supreme realm of "turning qi into form", and most of it is just illusion. I only heard Zhuang Haoming say again: "Although I don't understand how he killed Lao Xue, this kind of demon magic has one thing in common, that is, the stronger the opponent's mind and the higher his cultivation, the more difficult it is for the person who casts the spell to make a move." Among the few of us, Lao Xue's martial arts are the weakest, and if I were the one who cast the spell, I would definitely choose Lao Xue to start. ”
Without waiting for Zhuang Haoming to continue speaking, Xie Yixiang's heart was already bright, and he immediately said: "So from the time that little girl pretended to die under Brother Jia's horse, to last night when they came to ask Brother Jia about the crime, this game seems to be aimed at Brother Jia, but in fact, it is just to distract us and teach us not to guess their true intentions." I'm afraid that from the moment we saw the severed palm on the official road, they secretly set up a game for Uncle Xue, so Uncle Xue's expression and demeanor were a little weird along the way. Speaking of this, she recalled that Cheng Xilong, Jia Mengchao and Xue Zhiyan were all dead now, and her face couldn't help but darken.
Zhuang Haoming nodded approvingly and said, "Yes, Lao Xue has begun to have a knot in his heart since he saw that broken palm on the official road, and it would be easy for the person who cast the spell to attack him." Now it seems that the Divine Fire Sect had no intention of sparing any of us from the beginning, and made it clear that we would all die in Huguang. ”
Xie Yixiang chewed Zhuang Haoming's words carefully, and then remembered the strange expression he had when he said the "Heavenly Dew Divine Grace Dafa" earlier, and then understood what he meant, and couldn't help blurting out: "You...... Do you suspect that this matter has something to do with my father?" Zhuang Haoming had mentioned his father intentionally or unintentionally before, and when he said these words at this moment, he naturally suspected Xie Fengxuan's head.
Zhuang Haoming sighed slowly: "Although you didn't admit it in person, I already knew that your father's arrangement for you to go with me this time, and he wanted you to monitor my movements in Huguang." In fact, your speculation last night was not entirely unreasonable, but when the military salary was robbed, I led the crowd to Huguang, so you suspect that I have something to do with the robbery of the military salary, and it is even very likely that Jiang Wangcai planted the eyeliner in the court and conspired with him to commit this case. I don't blame you for this, let alone your father, if I and your father were to get along, I would have made such doubts. ”
After a pause, he said with some mockery: "The so-called things gather by like, and people are grouped, in fact, I also doubted your father Xie Fengxuan before. Not to mention that he arranged for you to come to spy on me this time, just ask if the Divine Fire Sect has disappeared for so many years, but it can still survive in the dark, it is conceivable that there must be people from them in the court. I even suspect that everything we encountered in Huguang this time was actually arranged by your father in secret, after all, he was born in the Divine Fire Sect after all. But now, I no longer doubt him, because I have fallen to such a point, but the other party still refuses to stop, if it is really your father's intention, could it be that he even disregarded his daughter's life?"
Zhuang Haoming's conjecture is also well-founded, you must know that Xie Fengxuan was born in the Divine Fire Sect, and he is the only former disciple of the Divine Fire Sect who is in an important position in the imperial court, even the emperor has always wanted to eradicate him in his heart, but considering the current situation in the court, he can't do it. Xie Fengxuan's identity is like this, and he is in such a situation, if it is said that he and the Divine Fire Sect are secretly having an affair, it is also reasonable.
Xie Yixiang was surprised, and immediately felt that all this was simply ridiculous. His father and Zhuang Haoming, a pair of good friends who had been born and died for decades, but now one suspects that the other party is Jiang Wangcai, and the other suspects that the other party is a person from the Shenhuo Sect. If she hadn't seen and heard it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that these two people would have acted like this.
It turns out that this is the so-called world and people's hearts. Two friends who have made friends for their lives will inevitably be suspicious of each other and secretly embankment. Xie Yixiang suddenly felt that she was still too simple, and she couldn't help but be extremely disappointed in this world, and she felt more and more disgusted with the battles in the court.
Zhuang Haoming seemed to see through her thoughts, and said with a wry smile: "What is this? Although your father and I have been old friends for many years, we have had several big fights with each other, and the most serious one was that I was seriously injured by him, and I lay down for three months before I could get out of bed." As he spoke, he saw that Xie Yixiang was still silent, and said, "Actually, the intention of the Divine Fire Sect, my uncle can also guess one or two. Now that I have set foot in Huguang, hmph, it will definitely change the situation in the entire Huguang, and the Divine Fire Sect has been entrenched here for a long time, so naturally they don't want me to intervene in it, thus ruining their good things......"
When he said this, he suddenly closed his mouth, as if he felt that he had said a little too much. Xie Yixiang came back to her senses and asked coldly: "Oh, isn't the Torture Arrest Room going west this time to arrest the 'Rose Thorn', why does the Lord Arrest suddenly say something 'change the situation in the entire Huguang'?"
I saw that Zhuang Haoming's face couldn't help but glow with a trace of sadness, and sighed: "Uncle doesn't need to hide it from you anymore, the so-called arrest of the 'Rose Thorn' on our trip is of course just a pretense." ”
