Chapter 7: Soul Fight
The bamboo cutter blinked, recalled, and then said slowly: "That night, Uncle Wang didn't say that the person who took the calm knife was my accomplice, so I went to chase the person who took the knife. Chased from the city to the forest, and finally caught up. It's just that I cut trees and grilled fish in the middle, and after some delay, I was able to send the knife back today, but I didn't expect Uncle Wang to be dead. ”
The middle-aged man in the triangular eye asked again, "Where did the person who took the knife go, and how did you get the knife?"
The bamboo cutter said, "The man flew away, and he left the knife for me." ”
The girl cried and shouted, "Master, he doesn't match the words before and after, and he is obviously pretending to be stupid! The murderer of my father is him!"
There were other Golden Dao disciples who said: "Senior Song, this person is old and simple on the surface, but in fact he is treacherous and cunning, and he looked above board that day, so we all let down our guard, but secretly sent our accomplices to steal the cold golden knife." How could he tell the truth without hard evidence in front of him?"
Qi Yue said: "Uncle Song, we can't make judgments, nor can we just listen to him, lest others say that we have wronged good people or indulged in real murderers. Let's take him to see the body of the king first, and then confront him. ”
The middle-aged man in the triangular eyes nodded: "Okay, just according to what Senior Nephew Qi said." Come in, little brother. ”
The crowd parted again to give way, and when the bamboo cutter passed through the middle, he felt that everyone's eyes were bigger than the angry buffalo, and they were full of hostility, especially the girl named "Leifang", as if she wanted to eat herself. I thought to myself, "They thought I killed Uncle Wang?" but I didn't do it, just make it clear to them. ”
In the past, the hall of smiling and smiling Yan Yan has become a mourning hall with white flags hanging high and white candles all over the place, with a black lacquered iron and wood coffin placed horizontally in the middle. With a backhand slap on the coffin, the coffin was directly erected, and the lid of the coffin was opened from one side, revealing the remains.
I saw Wang Yuanwei lying in a black shroud in a coffin, his eyes were closed, his face was gray, and he had obviously been dead for a long time. Seeing Wang Yuanwei's body, many people present couldn't help themselves and wept, and a few female dependents who had been guarding the mourning hall and were dressed in filial piety clothes even fainted from crying.
Seeing that everyone was very sad, the bamboo cutter was also sentimental, put the cold gold knife in front of the coffin, and bowed his head: "Uncle Wang, I brought you the knife! It's a pity that you can't see it anymore." ”
The middle-aged man in the triangular eye glanced at the cold golden knife, and sighed: "'Golden Sword Patriarch' Wang Tianxiang has a lot of connections with the Yunmo faction, and when he came to the generation of Yuanwei Xiandi, he even let his only daughter Lifeng worship under my door. The day before yesterday, I received the news that my brother had suffered and died, so I brought Leifeng to come non-stop, and now I will not hesitate to give him justice. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at the bamboo cutter: "In the Xiayunmo faction 'Song Xiao', thanks to the friends in the rivers and lakes, he can afford it, and he has a nickname called 'Yi Po Yunxiao'." Little brother, now it's time for you to tell your real name!"
The bamboo cutter shook his head: "I don't have a name, if you want to call me little brother, just call me little brother, if you want to call me a bamboo cutter, just call me a bamboo cutter." ”
Song Xiao said: "It's okay if you don't tell me your real name and surname. I just want to find out the real culprit who killed Brother Wang Xian. ”
"But I didn't kill him. "I've been in the forest, and I'm only back to the city today." ”
The girl "Wang Lifeng" glared at her fiercely: "My father's martial arts are world-famous, with your young age, you can't kill yourself, you can only use poisonous tricks to assassinate you!" The 'Netherworld Ghost Palm' on his chest is ironclad evidence!"
Another Golden Sword disciple said: "Not only that, but the head of the sect is wearing a black silkworm treasure robe, and ordinary swords can't inflict such injuries on him." ”
"What kind of injury?"
The bamboo cutter looked dazed.
Song Xiao bowed to Wang Yuanwei's corpse again, and when he got up, he pulled out the narrow knife at his waist, and the knife flashed, and the black shroud slid down from the corpse. But seeing Wang Yuanwei's naked upper body, it was cut in two from the right shoulder to the left waist, and now it was all sewn together by needles and threads. On the left chest, there is also a jet-black palm print.
Immediately afterwards, a golden sword disciple picked up a black garment, which was also broken into two. Song Xiao put away the narrow knife, took a piece of black clothes, and covered his palm: "Master Qi, cut a knife." ”
"Yes!"
Qi Yue pulled out his saber and slashed at Song Xiao's palm.
The flames flickered, and the blades flicked off, but there was not a single trace left on the black clothes.
Song Xiao showed the black clothes to everyone and said: "This clothes are woven from Tianzhou black silk, and ordinary swords can't even pierce it." Wang Xiandi was wearing a treasure robe when he was killed, and even his body with a treasure robe was cut off, there are only two possibilities. One is that the level of internal strength is extremely high, at least reaching the 'fifth realm' of internal strength, and the other is that the knife that killed Wang Xiandi is both very sharp and extremely heavy. ”
Then he said: "The masters who have reached the fifth realm of internal strength, looking at Yunzhou, there are not many people, and none of them have the motive to assassinate Wang Xiandi. And there is only one eligible knife in the whole Yunzhou. ”
Everyone present knew the answer: what is there besides the cold gold knife right now?
Song Xiao pointed to the black palm print on Wang Yuanwei's left chest: "In the whole world, there is only one kind of vicious palm technique that can cause such damage through the treasure clothes, and that is the Demon Sect's 'Nether Ghost Palm'! ”
Qi Yue opened his mouth and said, "That night, Senior Brother Liu was injured by the Nether Ghost Palm, and the disciples of the Golden Dao Sect and other junior disciples witnessed it at that time. Now Senior Brother Liu has returned to Yunwu Mountain to recuperate, and he doesn't know when his injuries will heal, alas. ”
As Song Xiao explained, everyone present became more and more sure of the identity of the murderer, but the bamboo cutter listened to it in a fog, and said: "Is the filthy silkworm a very dirty silkworm? What kind of mirror is the fifth mirror? I heard it last time, is it a place to grind tofu? Uncle Wang, a carpenter, how can he have a grudge against the person who grinds tofu?"
"Rats, Hugh has to insult my Golden Knife Gate!"
"Senior Song, this kid must be a murderer, please take him down!"
The disciples of the Golden Swords were furious, if they didn't know that they were not the enemies of the bamboo cutters, they would definitely have already done it.
Wang Lifeng had heard about the bamboo cutter coming to challenge before, and knew that his knife skills were not weak, and there was an accomplice of the Demon Sect, who might be a member of the Demon Sect, and then listened to Song Xiao's analysis, and completely confirmed that the bamboo cutter was the murderer at this moment, and immediately drew a knife from someone else, jumped up, and wanted to take his life.
This time, no one stopped her, and the silver knife arced straight to the target's head. The bamboo cutter didn't lead the neck to be killed, and quickly dodged the blade sideways, and then pinched and dragged his right hand with a swift and unbeatable speed, and actually snatched the knife in Wang Lifeng's hand directly.
Wang Lifeng shot angrily, but was suddenly snatched from the knife, lost strength under her feet, leaned forward completely, and her body couldn't help but rush to the ground. Qi Yue's eyes were fast, and he stepped over to stop her by the waist and hug her, and turned his head and shouted: "Everyone be careful!"
"Boom" was the sound of a knife drawn. Whether it is a disciple of the Golden Dao Sect or a disciple of the Yunmo Sect, they have all seen the power of the bamboo cutters, and now they have started to tear their faces, no one dares to take it lightly, and they surround the Lingtang with their blades to prevent the bamboo cutters from escaping.
"The sword technique is beautiful, but it's a pity that the people of the Demon Sect are not allowed to be in the world. Song Xiao sighed with admiration and regret, and pulled out the extremely narrow knife again, "You put down your blade, follow me back to Yunwu Mountain, and confess the information of the Demon Sect, but you can save a life." ”
The bamboo cutter didn't understand what these people were talking about, so he only said: "I don't know the person who grinds tofu, and Uncle Wang didn't kill him, you wronged me." ”
"Wronged or not, let's talk about it when we go to Yunwu Mountain. ”
As Song Xiao spoke, a knife stabbed out. He is a first-class master in Yunzhou, and his sword is not comparable to Wang Yuanwei and ordinary Yunmo sect disciples, and the blade is fast and steady, reaching the vital point.
The bamboo cutter is simple-minded, but at this moment, he also knows that it is useless to distinguish, and if he really wants to be held by others, he will suffer hardship. While blocking Song Xiao's narrow knife with the knife in his hand, he said: "Alas, I didn't kill Uncle Wang, you have to believe me." But if you don't believe me, I can't go with you, I have something to do. ”
"I can't help you if you can't go. ”
Song Xiao's first knife was blocked, his face remained unchanged, but he secretly said in his heart: What Master Qi and nephew told me before is right, this bamboo cutter has deep internal strength and superb knife skills, and he is already a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, and the demon sect thief is really evil. But I have been famous in Yunzhou for many years, how can I let you leave?
immediately did his best, and did not spare his hand because of the other party's age.
There was a clang, and there was another clash of blades. Every time he collided, Song Xiao felt that the impact on his arm was one point greater than the last time, and by the time he collided more than thirty times, the hand holding the knife was already numb.
