"How is that possible!"

"Are you sure that Sergeant Tiece wasn't overly frightened?"

"There can be no mistake. ”

"How can you be sure that there will be no mistakes!"

In a dimly lit tent, two officials had a heated argument.

"That's right, that person is indeed Zhou Xuanming. ”

Another officer opened the curtain of the tent and walked in, and said.

This tent was located in a military camp somewhere in Yongning County, but even the highest-ranking officials in Yongning County were at least a few ranks lower than these three officials.

Of the three officials, the one who spoke out and objected was a high-ranking general of the Chinese army, while the other two were high-ranking officials from the Ministry of War.

Among these three officials, Chang Mo, the official of the military department who first quarreled with the generals of the Su Guard Army, was responsible for the stability of the six states of Rongzhou, Luzhou, Linzhou, Wanzhou, Bingzhou, and Bazhou, and mobilized a limited army to exterminate the resurgence of horse thieves and rogues, as well as the small group of Northern Wei raiders and harassing troops that spread into these states and counties.

However, in the past ten days, several extremely cruel cultivators suddenly appeared in these states, these cultivators all have completely common characteristics, they travel alone, they don't have any companions, they are easy to kill, but the killing is not for looting, and the people killed by these cultivators have a strange characteristic - their flesh and blood are corrupted much faster than ordinary normal people.

These details caused panic among the military and doctors who went to examine them.

Some news inevitably circulated among the people, and these strange and murderous cultivators were even rumored to be the embodiment of disasters and mythical monsters in some places.

This rumor spread widely, and it was more terrible than the rebellion of horse thieves and some gate lords for the stability needed by the Southern Dynasty.

In many dynasties in the past, there are many examples of rumors that eventually led to the collapse of the dynasty.

"Why is it certain that it is Zhou Xuanming?"

The last official of the military department who opened the camp tent and walked in was Jin Xueyan, this is an extremely stable old minister, who was even the crown prince and prince in the previous dynasty, and was able to reach a high position in the former dynasty, and there are not many officials who continue to be reused in the new dynasty, especially not belonging to the Liangzhou army, but at this time, the only general of the Su Guard Army among the three officials still maintained a skeptical attitude and asked coldly.

Looking at this general of the Su Guard Army from the Liangzhou Army, Jin Xueyan maintained humility and respect, and said in a steady voice: "In addition to the Tie Ce Army, I also found the two horse thieves who escaped at that time, and their confessions are exactly the same as what the Tie Ce Army sergeant said. ”

"Zhiming, a monk of Tongtai Temple, went to see it and determined that it was a thousand Buddha thorns, not other similar true yuan methods. The general of the Su Guard moved his lips slightly, and he was about to speak, but when Jin Xueyan said this, the general of the Su Guard Army fell silent in an instant.

After a moment, he just grimaced and gritted his teeth, "It's just why did he do this? ”

Killing always requires a reason, especially killing a lot of people.

It's just that even Jin Xueyan, who has seen many strange cases, can't answer this question, or even speculate.

Even in his opinion, among the several murderers at this time, Zhou Xuanming, who was the only one who was identified, seemed to have no reason to do such a thing that people and gods were angry about.

He also understood the mood of the general of the Su Guard.

Xiao Yan was a practitioner from Buddhism, and he recognized some of the principles of goodness in Buddhism, so after he ascended the throne, he built a Buddhist temple. Many monks in the three monasteries of Tongtai Temple, Waguan Temple, and Qixia Temple have a close relationship with him, and he even practices in these three monasteries many times.

Although Zhou Xuanming was not as well-known as genius cultivators such as Ni Yunshan and Wang Pingyang in Jiankang, he was also the most outstanding cultivator among the younger generation of Tongtai Temple, and compared to the cultivators in other places, the cultivators in these temples had a brighter future in anyone's eyes.

Almost all of them will receive the grace of the gods, go directly to the Chinese army, and even become the close attendants of the nobles in the imperial palace, and some can even become the emperor's bodyguards.

Now that Zhou Xuanming has been identified as one of the murderers, and has slaughtered more than 200 Tiece soldiers, what makes this general of the Su Guard Army full of anger and unacceptable is the reputation of the emperor.

The emperor respected Buddhism alone, built temples and preached, but at this moment, there was such a murderer in the three core temples.

"This person must be caught, I want to live!"

He took a deep breath and looked at Jin Xueyan and Chang Mo, the two military officials, he understood what he was thinking, and these two people must have thought of it, so he didn't speak particularly politely and left room for maneuver, "Then the rest of the unidentified murderers can be left alone, but this person must be caught first, I want to ask him personally, why is he like this!"

Jin Xueyan nodded, but his face unconsciously showed embarrassment.

The most important thing is that according to the current information, those murderers are at least as high as the peak of artistic conception, and according to the monk who walks on his feet, Zhou Xuanming's realm embodied when he used the True Yuan Miao Method of the Thousand Buddha Thorns has reached the middle level of the Chengtian Realm.

There are very few people in the surrounding states and counties who can deal with such cultivators.

Although the monk was Zhou Xuanming's uncle, he also felt that he was not Zhou Xuanming's opponent.

And although he can understand the mood of this general of the Su Guard, in his opinion, the identities of the rest of the murderers must also be investigated with effort, because he may be able to get some new clues from the identities of these murderers.

"Don't tell me that you can't do it in a short time, and then you have to spend time asking for people from Jiankang or the border army. When it takes more than ten days to rush over, I don't know what will happen. The general of the Su Guard Army easily saw what Jin Xueyan was thinking, and his face became even colder: "When it comes to matters involving Tie Cejun, naturally let Tie Cejun do it himself! I know that someone from above has greeted him, but is it possible that such an urgent matter should also allow them to stay in the city and enjoy their happiness?"

"No one's meaning is more important than the face of the saint!"

The general of the Su Guard added in a cold voice at the end.

Of course, Jin Xueyan did not refute.

At this time, in his heart, he also felt that it was the best.

What's more, above the court, there will always be changes when the turmoil starts, and there will never be anything that is immutable according to the established plan.

Not to mention the face of the saint, there is obviously a strange connection between these murderers who have killed recklessly in the past ten days, and even some farmers encountered in the village, and they are involved in a huge conspiracy.
