Volume 1 In the Human World 052 - The Mysterious Mask
Nangong Yue and Ying Tianjiao were the first to come to the meeting hall, and Lihai asked them why they went to the back mountain, and their answer was simple but ridiculous: boring, go for a walk.
There is no extra information to ask further, but the questions from the sea one after another, which made Nangong Yue a little impatient, and as soon as the princess's temper came up, she almost became angry in front of the head of Long Xiao and several elders. It was Ying Tianqi who stabilized her in time, and Ying Tianzheng reminded in a low voice: "Yue'er, we are here to find someone to move the rescuers, but we can't lose our temper." ”
Of course, Nangong Yue won't really lose her temper, if she wants to hide her anger, even if her mood swings can't hide from a few masters, at least the surface kung fu can still be done seamlessly.
She deliberately did not hide her dissatisfaction, just to let the other party have scruples, not to gain an inch, obviously, this method of anger is very effective, not waiting for Long Xiao to speak, Lihai himself also realized that it was a little inappropriate to ask the princess of a country like this, and his momentum had weakened.
At this time, Lisheng and Han Yin also arrived, and with the support of Master Long Yin, Lihai immediately shifted the spearhead to them.
"Han Yin Shaoxia, Miss Lisheng, Ying Longtang suffered a big disaster last night, it is likely that the Demon Sect has planted an inside line in my Ying Longtang, we are doing our best to track down suspicious people, etc., can you tell me what happened to the two of you yesterday, maybe there will be some clues that will help us." ”
Li Haixian gave a salute to the two of them, although the meaning of the words is clear that they are suspicious of you, but as a disciple of a big sect, you must also take care of decency, at least on the surface, you have to be respectful.
Lisheng politely bowed and saluted back: "Shaoxia is polite, I took the liberty of bothering last night, Lisheng was already a little reluctant to go, if there is anything you need to ask, just say, Lisheng must know everything." ”
After finishing speaking, he stepped aside, gestured, and his eyes exuded an invisible charm, which had no effect on the several elders of Yinglong Hall who had advanced cultivation, but they could leave the sky, the sea, the Ying Heavenly Tribulation, and even Nangong Yue all lost their minds for a moment.
Although Nangong Yue did not have any expression change on her face, she was already secretly scolding in her heart: This hateful vixen!
Even she couldn't figure out why she was so disgusted with this unknown person.
Could it be because I happened to see her with Yun Luochen last night?
Last night, when the people of the Demon Sect and the Ten Thousand Demon Caves withdrew, Ying Tianjiao protected her and returned to the guest room, just when she bumped into the corner of the broken wall, Yun Luochen was holding Lisheng and talking.
His eyes were affectionate and contented, she had never seen such a look in Yun Luochen, and for the first time, she discovered that a man's eyes could be so charming, as if his eyes were full of power and light.
However, in such a warm gaze, there was no presence of her at all, they were only less than fifty paces apart, and he seemed to have no notice of her at all.
However, except for her, everyone present seemed to be full of kindness towards Lisheng, perhaps because her appearance was naturally easy to make people feel good, or maybe because her words and demeanor just now seemed very reasonable.
But the one next to Lisheng was not so likable.
"Do you suspect us of colluding with the Demon Sect?" Han Yin didn't bother to go around the bend, and hit the nail on the head to break the intention of leaving the sea.
"I don't have this intention, I just hope that the two of you can cooperate, there are secret agents of the Demon Sect hidden in Yinglong Hall, which is also a hidden danger to the safety of the two. ”
Lihai skillfully avoided Han Yin's-for-tat words, and asked Lisheng instead: "Lisheng girl, I wonder if you can tell me what happened to you yesterday?"
Han Yin shook his head lightly at Lisheng and motioned with his eyes not to agree.
Li Sheng hesitated for a while, looked at Han Yin, and then looked at the head and several elders sitting in the hall, and finally nodded to Li Hai.
"Yesterday morning, Yun Luochen and Han Yin and I were attacked by the Demon Sect here, there were four people in total, they stopped us, and one of them was a woman named Phantom Ji who said that as long as they handed me over to them, they would not attack us. ”
"It is the four protectors of the Demon Sect. Lihai nodded, he had already heard Master Long Yin say it before.
"You three, how did you deal with the four protectors?" the only third elder in the hall who was not too old couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I don't know, I didn't participate in this fight. Li Sheng shook his head a little embarrassed, "At that time, there was a bloody arrow that injured Yun Luochen, I wanted to go up and help, but I remembered the voice of Phantom Ji in my ears, she said, 'Your opponent is me', and then I found that the sky suddenly darkened, and everything around me changed, as if I had come to another world." ”
"Another world?" Lihai wondered, "what does that look like?"
Li Sheng's expression became no longer calm, and there was a faint hint of fear in his eyes, "A black sea, except for the black sea, there is nothing, there is a dead silence around, I floated on this black sea like this, but my body was completely immobile, and then I saw a dark blue moon rising at the end of the sea level, the moon was very big, like a blue mountain rising from the sea, I was so scared, but I couldn't do anything, and then suddenly I felt a terrible headache, and then I fainted." I don't know what's going on behind the scenes. ”
Everyone looked at each other, obviously they had never seen this kind of weird trick, only Master Long Yin said with a solemn face: "This should be a kind of spiritual attack, making you have some kind of terrible illusion, I think, this should be the reason why she is called Phantom Ji in the Demon Sect, but I don't understand a little, you should have never seen them, how do you know that her name is Phantom Ji?"
Lisheng replied, "I heard someone call her that. ”
"Who is it?"
"A man wearing a wolf's head mask. ”
Hearing the words "wolf head mask", except for Long Xiao's brows furrowed slightly, the other people present did not have any special reaction, because the two people who had seen this mask - Yun Luochen and Lin Qianyuan, both of them happened to be ruled out of suspicion and were not called.
The head of Long Xiao had only heard them mention it before, and he didn't pay too much attention to it, but when he heard Lisheng mention it again, he began to pay a little attention to it in his heart.
"When did you hear this person call her Phantom Hime?" Lihai continued to ask.
"When I woke up. Lisheng continued to reply, her voice calm and calm, as if she didn't mind being questioned like this at all.
"When I woke up, I found myself being carried by Phantom Ji on my shoulder, she was very fast, I knew I couldn't beat her, so I could only continue to pretend to be stunned while trying to escape, but after a while Phantom Ji stopped, I heard a man's voice coming from the front, he said, 'Phantom Hime, give me the man, you can go', I quietly opened my eyes a little, just enough to see the appearance of the man, he was very tall, dressed in black, wearing a silver-gray wolf head mask on his head. ”
Li Sheng said this, and suddenly stopped.
"And then?" asked Lihai impatiently.
Lisheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Then, Phantom Ji put me on the ground, and she left. ”
"It's that simple?" Lihai was a little incredulous.
"I thought it was weird at the time, but she just let me go. ”
Lihai then asked, "What happened later? Didn't the man wearing the wolf's head mask take you away?"
Lisheng shook his head: "He seems to have come to save me, and after Phantom Ji left, he walked up to me and said, 'Since you're awake, let's leave quickly'." ”
"Can he see you're faking faint, or is he testing you?"
"I don't know, but he went on to say, 'Follow this road all the way south, go to Yinglong Hall in Xuanyuan Hill to find your friend, someone will pick you up on the way, you better move quickly, in case that woman repents just now, I won't save you again', after saying that, he also left, I kept my eyes closed, and listened to his footsteps far away, so I quickly got up and ran south. ”
"Later, you met Han Yin halfway, right?" Master Long Yin stared at Li Sheng intently, if she lied, any abnormal fluctuations in her body would not be able to hide from his eyes.
"Yes. Lisheng nodded.
"When did you meet?" asked Master Long Yin again.
Lisheng thought for a while and replied, "Looking at the sky, it should be afternoon." ”
Master Long Yin let out an "um" and stopped talking, as if he was silently thinking about something.
Lihai also felt that there was nothing to ask Lisheng, so he turned to Han Yin and asked, "Young Master Han, yesterday morning, we just laid out a plan to attack the Demon Sect Helm in three days, why did you suddenly leave without saying goodbye? and still go straight to the Demon Sect Helm?"
Han Yin sneered and said, "Didn't you hear what Lisheng and Elder Long Yin said just now?"
"You!" Lihai finally became a little angry, after all, his attitude has always been relatively polite, but this Han Yin didn't cooperate at all, so he actually spoke directly and humiliated at this time.
No matter how you say it, Lihai is also a young man with strong blood, since the other party is so faceless, he simply stopped beating around the bush, and said bluntly: "Han Yin, I see that you are an undercover agent sent by the Demon Sect to my Yinglong Hall, otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence, we have just finished arranging the plan, and the disciples of the inner hall have just come to the back mountain to set up an ambush, so you will run to the back mountain? Apart from you, who else has the opportunity to pass these secrets to the Demon Sect Commander?"
This is almost a naked accusation, but Han Yin doesn't seem to mind at all, and still says quietly: "I don't care at all about your attack on the Demon Sect Helm, just like you don't care about Lisheng's safety, but you don't care, I care, you don't save people, I'll save it myself, do I want to save people, and I still have to ask you for advice?"
"Young Master Han," Litian, who had been silent, finally spoke, "How is it possible that you are alone, going deep into the Demon Sect's helm to save people?" Also, what is the relationship between the mysterious figure wearing the wolf's head mask that Miss Lisheng just mentioned and you, and how does he know that you will pick up Miss Lisheng halfway?"
Han Yin glanced at Litian coldly, "What you Ying Longtang can't do, it doesn't mean that I can't do it either, if you dare, I don't mind letting you see and see if I have the strength to break into the Demon Sect's helm alone." ”
"Okay," the head of Long Xiao finally spoke, "Let's stop here today, Litian, you talk to Manager Ouyang, and ask him to arrange more people to repair the destroyed guest rooms, Lihai, you send a few back to the guest rooms to rest, Miss Lisheng's room was seriously damaged last night, you find a steward to help her change it." ”
Since the head of the family said so, even if he was angry with the sky and the sea, he had to retreat with everyone, leaving only the head of Long Xiao and the three elders still in the lobby.
After everyone had walked away, the head of Long Xiao slowly asked, "What do you think of today's matter, elders?"
Master Long Yin seemed to be still pondering, and the second elder beside him squinted slightly: "Those two people in Qingqiu Kingdom don't see any clues, and that Lisheng doesn't seem to have any problems, judging from the state she was in when she just spoke, there were no abnormal fluctuations, there should be no lying, only that Han Yin, he was going to break into the Demon Sect Helm alone at that time, it was indeed very suspicious." ”
The head of Long Xiao shook his head and said in a slight voice: "But don't forget, he killed the beast. ”
Except for Master Long Yin who was still pondering, the Second Elder and the Third Elder all had a blank expression, why did they forget about this matter for a while?
"The status of the beast in the helm of the Demon Sect is second only to the Demon Sect Master, and if he is sacrificed in exchange for the opportunity to go undercover in the Dragon Hall, it doesn't seem to be cost-effective for the Demon Sect. In this way, Han Yin's suspicion is the smallest. The Second Elder had to personally overturn his assertion just now.
"Not necessarily. Master Long Yin, who had not spoken, finally spoke, "I saw the beast die at the scene with my own eyes, but I still support calling Han Yin over today, why? It's because I don't think it's enough to clear his suspicion." ”
The head of Long Xiao was also a little puzzled, and asked, "Why?"
Master Long Yin didn't answer directly, but asked, "Senior Brother in Head, two junior brothers, do you think about it, the four protectors of the Demon Sect are still the four protectors of the year?"
The Third Elder said without hesitation: "Of course not, compared to eighteen years ago, there have been two changes, and the Wild Beast and the Blood Son are also old. ”
Master Long Yin continued to ask, "Then why did you change two of them?"
"Naturally, because the original two died, two seats were vacated. ”
"Now that the beast is dead, what should we do?"
"Naturally, there will be new people who will become one of the four Dharma protectors......" The third elder finally realized something, and exclaimed, "You mean ......"
Master Long Yin nodded, "Yes, the Wild Beast and the Blood Boy are already old, if a new young generation of masters appears in the Demon Sect, if you want to take the position, in addition to making great contributions, you have to ask the people above to vacate the seats." ”
The third elder gasped, "If Han Yin is really an undercover agent of the Demon Sect, his move just kills two birds with one stone, but ......"
He paused for a moment, and then hesitated: "If he kills the beast in front of the other three Dharma protectors, he is not afraid that the other three will go back to complain?
Master Long Yin said in a deep voice: "It seems that the fourth junior brother still doesn't know much about the Demon Sect, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, this is exactly the consistent style of the Demon Sect, only if a person is evil to the extreme, and can do things that are not capable of normal people, can he be called a 'demon'." ”
"What's more, the beasts are all dead, and the wood is already in the boat, since the Demon Sect has lost such a general, how can it cut off its arm and lose another stronger talent?"
The head of Long Xiao nodded again and again, although his second junior brother usually seems to be an acute person who does things without a brain, but when he really thinks about problems, he is the fastest in his brain.
Master Long Yin continued: "Don't forget, if Han Yin really has a problem, then it is estimated that Lisheng is not simple, maybe her amnesia is true, but according to my observation, she and Han Yin must have known each other for a long time, and the relationship is very unusual, so, in addition to Han Yin, we must also pay more attention to her whereabouts." ”
"But at least she's very cooperative today," Long Xiao said, "She mentioned a person wearing a wolf's head mask today, I think you should pay attention to it." ”
Master Long Yin nodded: "Yes, now Han Yin's motive and timing of the crime are there, the only thing missing is evidence, I think, this mask can be used as a breakthrough, inferred from Li Sheng's words, Han Yin and the wolf-headed mask man obviously know each other, and they must have a great relationship with each other." ”
"In this way, the problem is simple. Sect Long Xiao smiled with satisfaction, "As long as you find clues that the Demon Sect is related to this wolf-headed masked man, you can further determine that Han Yin must be related to the Demon Sect." ”
