Hong Tianba wanted to reveal their identities, so he asked Zhiming, "You are the one who took the Blood Dragon Sword yesterday." Are you from the Tiangu Sect?"

Zhiming replied unhurriedly: "No, I am from Jingzhou, but I have a good relationship with the Tiangu Sect Master. Yesterday, this person came to the Tiangu Sect with the Blood Dragon Sword, saying that he wanted to sell the sword, and the sect leader recognized this sword as a holy relic of your sect at a glance, so he didn't dare to buy it. It just so happened that I was also there, and after he left, the sect leader entrusted me to go down the mountain to chase him down the mountain and help return the blood dragon sword to its original owner. Later I took the sword back and captured him as well. I brought him here today to return the sword, not to seek wealth, but to hope that the two religions can turn enemies into friends and there will be no more disputes. ”

Hearing this, Huo You and the two staff officers looked at each other. Gao Tian pointed at Du Liang and said to Zhiming, "Since this person is not from the Tiangu Sect, then you kill him now to prove that what you said is true." ”

Zhiming was puzzled: "Why did I kill him? He has returned the sword, what is the point of killing him?"

Gao Tian said: "There are two doubts. First, if the sword was stolen by this person, then why did he leave a note stamped with the seal of the Yue tribe to blame the Yue people? According to the contents of the note, he also knew about the festivals between the sect and the Yue people, how could an outsider know about this, is there nothing strange? If it was just to steal the sword, leaving a note would be redundant, and he had no reason to forge the seal of the Yue clan, which was obviously a premeditated act; Now, you are all here together, and it is clear that you are colluding internally! Honestly, are you from the Tiangu Sect?"

Du Liang began to get flustered. Zhi Ming signaled him to be calm with his eyes and said, "After I snatched the Blood Dragon Sword from Hong Tianba's hand last night, I continued to chase Du Liang. After catching him, he suddenly said that he wanted to join the Tiangu Sect. I thought about it for a while, and when I saw that he had the consciousness of being lost and returning, I brought him back to the Tiangu Sect. Later, the sect leader said that he should return the sword first, and then allow him to join the sect after the incident has subsided, so we are here today. It has never been necessary for the Tiangu Sect to steal your belongings, and as for the note just mentioned, please show evidence before I can clear my doubts. ”

Huo You and Gao Tian were speechless for a moment, and Huo You regretted that he had been impulsive and tore the note off.

Gao Tian asked Du Liang: "If the note was written by you, where is the forged seal?"

Fortunately, Du Liang was prepared, took out the fake seal and blueprint (a piece of brown paper with a seal pattern) handed over to him by Pang Tong from his arms, presented it to Gao Tian, and said: "In fact, I already have this forged seal in my hand, but I have never had the opportunity to use it. When stealing the sword, in the next moment of confusion, write a provocation without regard for the consequences, and stamp it with a seal. Afterwards, I regretted it again, afraid of making things bigger, but I couldn't turn back. Now I will hand over the false seals and blueprints to your religion and let them be disposed of. ”

Gao Tian handed the thing to the sect leader. Huo Yu carefully studied the drawings on the fake seal, and since there was no reference, he could no longer confirm whether it was consistent with the one in the provocation book.

Gao Tian asked again: "Since that note was written by you, do you remember what it says?"

"Yes. Du Liang memorized the words that Pang Tong told him last night, word for word, and deliberately paused to recall it halfway.

Huo You and the others looked at each other, and the text content was indeed not bad. Huo You thought, "Could it really be that he stole it?"

Gao Tian asked again: "You said that you forged this seal before, so where is this forgery den?"

Du Liang had the upper hand in the answer just now, and the psychological pressure was a little less, and said: "There is no fixed den, but once I met a person in the market by chance, and he quietly asked me: Do you want to engrave a seal? He was never seen again. I heard that this person was active in Chaisang, Liling and the surrounding areas, and mainly forged seals and jade, so the nobles could send someone to investigate. ”

Gao Tian continued to interrogate: "Then why did you engrave the seal of the Yue clan, and where did you get the blueprint of the seal?"

Du Liang said unhurriedly: "Actually, I picked it up by chance at the market a few months ago, I saw that the person in front of me accidentally fell out, so I picked it up, and I thought it was a silver ticket or something." Later, I met the person who specializes in counterfeiting, and I thought about carving one to play with it, maybe it will be useful in the future. I didn't expect it to be used. ”

Gao Tian saw that he answered fluently, without any flaws, and had nothing to say for a while.

Hu Yongfa asked: "Even if what you just said is true, then how did you know about the feud between this sect and the Yue people six years ago?"

The corners of Du Liang's mouth rose slightly, and he said: "I also overheard someone else in the market that the wife of King Yue was killed by the people of your sect, and the leader of your sect was also shot in the eye. It's not hard to spread this kind of thing. ”

Hu Yong saw that the other party's answer was not leaky, so he had to shift the target and ask Zhiming: "Since you are not a member of the Tiangu Sect, why didn't Zhao Cheng let his subordinates do this, but let you, an outsider, do it? Besides, it seems that you are not seeking money, so why go to great lengths to arrest him, and even risk your life to bring him here for the sake of offending the Evil Wolf Gang with this sword?

Zhiming smiled and said, "The reason is very simple. Zhao Cheng has been kind to me, and I owe him a favor. ”

"Do you think that as long as you can help this sect recover the Blood Dragon Sword, this sect will be reconciled with the Tiangu Sect out of gratitude to you, just in time for you to repay this favor?" Gao Tian asked him with squinted eyes.

"Well, I don't want to say too much about it. "Zhiming is too lazy to talk nonsense.

"It doesn't hurt to say more. Unless you kill him now, I'll take your word for it!" Gao Tian's tone was unquestionable.

Du Liang didn't expect that all the answers that he had worked hard to prepare all night would be used, and the other party still refused to give up, and his limbs trembled with fright for a while; Zhiming quickly thought about countermeasures, he couldn't do it.

Hong Tianba sneered on the side, watching how he dealt with it. Huo You was also closely observing their expressions, as long as it could be confirmed that Du Liang was a member of the Tiangu Sect, he could prove that the sword theft was done by the Tiangu Sect.

Zhiming shook his head and said, "Don't force me anymore, if I want to kill him, I will do it early in the morning, and besides, you can't assume that I am colluding with him because of this, we didn't know him before." ”

Gao Tian said: "You definitely knew each other before. How's that? You can't do anything to your own people, right?"

Zhiming's anger rose rapidly, and he wanted to use his divine power to defeat them immediately. However, for the sake of the safety of the Tiangu Sect, he had to hold back.

Du Liang suddenly got up, grabbed Zhiming's collar and said, "Didn't you say that it was okay? You said that after returning the sword, I can join the sect." So what now?"

Zhiming punched away, and Du Liang foamed at the mouth and knelt down. Zhiming said angrily: "It's not that you're in trouble! If you steal it, what note do you still have left? Even if you know something, there is no need to deliberately forge the seal of the Yue clan, and now this matter is getting bigger and bigger! At this point, you can only let them deal with it!"

He said to Huo Yu again: "Sect Master, if you want to kill him, do it yourself, I will go back and report to the Sect Master, this person is useless to me." ”

Zhiming said that he was about to turn around, but was stopped by the disciples. Huo You whispered to the staff officers and said, "Until the matter is thoroughly investigated, you are not allowed to leave, and all of you will be taken into custody pending trial!"

"Oh no, I really can't get out!" Zhiming thought that the double reed play with Du Liang could deceive the other party, but he didn't expect that he would be unable to escape now. He was ready to use force.

"Zhiming, don't act rashly and wait and see. The voice of the old fairy appeared.

After thinking about it, he had no choice but to comply. Hoyu ordered them to be placed in separate stone prisons.

Gao Tian said: "In any case, let them suffer first, and then try them separately later, to see if their confessions can match, and if their confessions do not match, it is enough to prove that my previous thoughts are correct." ”

Huo You agreed, and then said to Hong Tianba, "Thank you for providing favorable information to this sect. As for the next step, we will make a decision after the interrogation, so please go back first. ”

Hong Tianba wanted to say something, but when he saw that the other party had issued an "eviction order", he had to leave the cottage first and go back to restore his life.

Huo You said to everyone: "The Tiangu Sect and Shanyue are our old enemies, and they must be eliminated one by one. Before the truth is clarified, don't mess with the Tiangu Sect first, lest it cause trouble, but Shanyue, regardless of whether the sword theft was done by them or not, since the chess game has been laid out, we must finish it! We only lost one round, and we haven't lost all of them yet! Gao Tian, it's time to ask for the trump card, the master of the Blood Dragon Sword, the Great Thunder Magician!"

"Yes, we will go to the Motan Temple tomorrow morning, and ask the Great Thunder Demon Master to administer justice for us!" Gao Tian said.

On a stormy night, a mysterious huge figure appeared in the most famous folk weapons workshop in Chaisang County, the Celebrity Workshop.

The workshop was in full swing, and the craftsmen were busy crafting all kinds of weapons to provide sufficient war resources for the upcoming battle of Wu and Wei.

"May I ask you what is the matter?" a soldier turned to ask when someone was coming.

"Is Master Lu here?" the mysterious man asked coldly, and under his thick eyebrows was a pair of cold, deep, chilling eyes.

"The master is not feeling well today, and it is not convenient for him to see guests, and besides, we are closed, so you should come back another day. When the soldier saw that he was wet and did not want to deal with him, he turned his head and went on with his work.

The mysterious man then took out a heavy bag of things, pressed them on the table, and said, "You tell him that I will look for him now, and the price can be doubled!"

The soldier was startled, then turned his head again, only to realize that the mysterious man was carrying a long package behind him. He still wanted to ask something, but seeing the other party's cold eyes, he seemed to refuse to give up, so he had to say, "Please wait a moment." ”

The soldier hurried to the inner room. The people around are all looking at each other strangely, and generally speaking, there will be no business at this time.

After a while, the craftsman came back and said to the mysterious man, "The master has agreed to see you, please come with me." ”

The mysterious man took the money bag and followed the soldier into the inner room, and saw that the old man who was about sixty years old was dressing and tiaring, and his body seemed to be unwell, so he clenched his fists and said, "Master Lu, I'm sorry to disturb your rest." ”

The old man finished dressing, coughed lightly, and motioned for the other party to sit down.

The mysterious man put the things on his back and the silver on the coffee table at the same time, and said, "Master, I'm sorry to bother you when you're sick, but I ask you to repair this knife in the shortest possible time and make it harder!"

With that, he spread out the black cloth, and it was a long knife that had been broken in two. The old man touched the handle of the knife, held it in his hand, and said, "This knife is forged from pure steel, and it is extremely tough, and it is not an ordinary weapon if it can be broken." If you want to increase the hardness of the knife, you must use stainless steel and white steel to mix and reinforce, at least seven days. ”

"No problem, I'm sorry for you, Master, please make this knife more indestructible and lethal than the original. The mysterious man said goodbye to the old man, walked out of the workshop, and shouted at the thunder and lightning sky, "Lei Zhiming, you wait, I will definitely defeat you next time!"

Wuchao Mountain Yuezhai, training ground.

Each of the four female soldiers was armed with spears and spearheads wrapped in white cloth, ready to besiege their leader, Xuan.

Xuan held the double-strand sword wrapped in the blade, took a deep breath, and said, "Come on!"

The four began the siege. Xuan attacked left and defended right, resisting with ease. Her martial arts are passed down from Yulong, her moves are changeable, her offense and defense are in place, and she is flawless.

A spear stabbed straight from her back, and she shrank her head slightly, the tip of the spear brushing the tip of her hair. She kicked the soldier down with a back kick.

There was a spear on the left and right sides, and she sat down with a split leg, opened the sword left and right, and hit the two people's hearts. The two of them were so frightened that they quickly stepped back.

Suddenly, the wind was blowing behind her, and she quickly put her legs together and lay down on her side, dodging the spear blow. Then, she swept away with her sword, hitting the soldier in the calf. The soldier fell.

She stood up with a carp and said to the four of them, "Don't stop, keep coming!"

The four of them glanced at each other and continued to attack. Two of them attacked from the front, and the other two attacked from behind.

She had already understood this tactic, and unhurriedly took a leap in the air and jumped behind the two people in front of her. The four of them were stunned.

She simply discarded her weapon, threw down her sword and rushed straight at her, using her skilful fighting skills, knocking down one man with one palm, then turning around, dodging another's stabbing blow, and quickly elbowing her back to knock another out.

The other two looked at each other and stabbed at the same time with their spears raised. Xuan directly stretched out his hands and grabbed the two spears.

The two tried to move the spear, but unfortunately she had deep internal strength, and the spear did not move. She slammed into the middle, and the two collided and fell.

She lowered her spear and said, "That's all for today." You've all made progress, but you still need to practice. ”

The four of them stood up with their wounds rubbed and thanked them with fists. Xuan came to Yulong's tent, and the other party was waiting for her.

"Xuan, it seems that your martial arts have grown again. Yulong said with satisfaction.

"It's all taught by the Master. Xuan said modestly.

"Xuan, it's time to act. Yulong's expression was serious, as if he was arranging an earth-shattering task.

"Yes, Master, I'll start tomorrow!" she bowed her head and clenched her fists and left.

Yulong walked out of the tent and said to himself: "The Persian Empire is about to be reborn. ”
