104.Serial Murder (1)
(Unrevised for the time being)
Master Taibai is dead, the oldest and oldest old immortal of Jade Everest Peak...... And so he was gone.
His immortal body was half-lying on the table, maintaining the same posture as when she left last night, with an ordinary iron sword poked at his back, the ground was covered with congealed blood, and the blood stains on the wound had dried up.
Standing outside the brightly lit door of the meditation room, Ye Yao couldn't believe what was in front of her.
The Nine Sect Masters, except for Master Wen Xi and Master Zhuyue, are all here. They gathered around Guru Taibai, examining his wounds, examining the ashes in the censer, or inspecting the wine gourd he was carrying, and they were silently busy.
Many disciples of the Nine Sects gathered outside the door, pushing and shoving made her a little unsteady on her feet. Some whispered and sobbed, some chattered in horror, others whispered, buzzing in their ears like a buzzer.
Master Lei Zhao suddenly turned around and said angrily: "The disciples who will enter after the 130th year of Tian Yuan will all go back to their rooms, and they will not be summoned or allowed to come out!"
"Hum-" With a sound, the disciples scattered, leaving only Ye Yao and the dozen or so people who entered at the same time.
Aze appeared out of nowhere, slowly leaned over to her, reached out and poked her in the back.
Ye Yao tilted her head, met his confused eyes, and shook her head blankly.
When he left last night, Master Taibai was obviously fine, how could he be killed like this? Who was the killer?
Ye Yao's gaze wandered between Master Lu Qi who was inspecting the immortal body, Master Lian Cuo who was inspecting the wine jug, and Master Lan Feng who was inspecting the incense ash, and the sword on Master Taibai's back was stabbed cleanly, even if he was drunk, it was impossible for him to be stabbed to death so easily.
There is a very high possibility of being poisoned before death! Master Taibai hardly eats except for drinking, and the only things that can be poisoned are incense burners and alcohol.
Master Lian Cuo and Master Blue Wind glanced at each other, exchanged glances with Master Lu Qi, and the three of them shook their heads at the same time.
No signs of poisoning were found......
Suddenly remembering the wine utensils handled last night and the two jars of thousand-year-old peach blossom brew that were drunk, and seven cans of bamboo Xuanlu Ye Qing, Ye Yao's heart was pounding.
She also drank and used the drinking utensils that the Guru had brought out, and she was always fine, and it couldn't have been poisonous.
Even so, she was a little weak-hearted, and she couldn't wait to return to the pine forest at once and find them and test them.
At this time, under the guidance of a Tianrenmen disciple, Master Zhuyue finally arrived, and he was accompanied by several disciples of the Tianying Sect, including Ao Muqian.
"In alchemy, it's too late. ”
He hurriedly explained, and then walked quickly into the meditation room from the path that the disciples had consciously conceded.
Before he could salute Master Taibai's immortal body, he was stopped by Lian Cuo, "You are an expert in weapons, come and take a look at this sword!"
Guru Zhuyue crouched down, looked at the hilt carefully, and gently stroked the blade with his fingertips.
"It's just an ordinary, practice-like iron sword, there are probably thousands of them in the treasury of the Nine Gates, and there are no remaining immortals on it, and there is no other breath...... The murderer cleaned it up with 'rootless water'. ”
As he spoke, he lifted the sleeves of his robe, wrapped the hilt of his sword, and slowly drew his long sword.
After a long day, Guru Taibai's blood had dried up.
He pulled it out like this, and he didn't bring out much blood.
Master Zhuyue took out a white silk from his arms, wiped the blood on the blade, and examined the long sword more carefully.
"A new sword in ten years. The blade is new and has no defects. It may belong to a class that rarely practices swords, and the specific source is to be determined by counting the number of iron swords in each practice room. He analyzed it earnestly.
"Chase over—"
Master Lei Zhao suddenly turned around and said in a voice like thunder, "What do you mean? doubt me?!"
It is not surprising that he will be angry, he was born in the Thunder Clan of the Eight Great Divine Clans, and his usual weapons are the "Thunder Hammer" and "Sky Piercing Chisel" commonly used by the clansmen. The Tianfu Sect he is in charge of, has the most disciples among the nine sects, but few people use swords.
Master Taibai's Taoism is profound, and it must be other masters who can kill him, and the inference of the master who is more than can simply push him to the forefront.
"Hey, don't get angry, I don't use a sword. Master Lu Qi persuaded from the side.
Born in the Wind Clan, his weapon is a wind knife condensed by immortals, and the disciples in the door are also mainly practicing hidden weapons, which is also in line with the speculation of Master Zhuyue.
His persuasion played a slight role, Lei Zhao no longer followed Zhu Yue, walked quickly to the door, and asked in a loud voice, "Have you sent the people who sent to invite the Divine Venerable and the three Heavenly Venerables to come back?"
"The two juniors haven't come back yet. The night wind is strong, and it is estimated that it has arrived. Ao Muqian stepped forward and replied.
Master Lei Zhao waved his hand, "Send someone to greet you." ”
Ao Muqian replied with his hand, glanced at the people in the same door, and they immediately walked out quickly.
Retreating to the other side of Aze, Ye Yao was watching her.
She returned the favor with a defiant look.
Aze was caught in the middle, and his scalp was a little numb.
"Masters, Master's most precious pair of white jade cups are gone!" exclaimed Senior Brother Tianrenmen, who had been squatting in the corner and taking inventory of the items in the room.
Ye Yao's shoulders shook, she didn't expect the wine utensils she had hidden to be found missing so soon.
Finished...... It's over, and you won't be treated as a murderer!
"I know, that set of cups, the old man likes it the most, and rarely takes it out to use, unless it is an old drinking ......friend," Lei Zhaosheng muttered, suddenly raised his head, and asked the disciples of Tianren Sect outside the door, "Is there a guest in the door today?"
After a moment of silence, a disciple walked out, "Tell the Guru, not today." But last night, there was a person who came to the meditation room to find the Master, and the sound sounded a little like ...... Lu Ji of Tianxin Gate. ”
He replied as he peeked at the three people who were tied on one side.
"Lu Ji?!"
Many people were crying out at the same time.
Everyone thought it was very strange, how could that little girl from Tianxinmen drink with Master Taibai and use the white jade cup.
So soon, the fire burned on itself?
Ye Yao's heart tightened, and she instinctively wanted to escape.
"Bimeng—" Aze on the side called softly, pushing her shoulder with his elbow.
Ye Yao was shocked to realize that she was already Bi Meng at this time, and now Xue Li was "Lu Ji"!
You have to get her into hiding quickly, or she will become someone else's scapegoat.
In his anxiety, he suddenly saw Aze slowly lower his head.
Following his gaze, she saw that he was rhythmically shaking the bell in his hand.
He was telling Xue Li to hide.
Okay, that's good! Kunlun is so big, as long as you hide well, it won't be so easy to find for a while.
But once he escaped, the crime of "Lu Ji" murder would be confirmed. There are still seven or eight hours before everyone's next transformation, can Xue Li escape?
Ye Yao's heart hung in her throat, and she was entangled in whether to stay here or go out to find her immediately.
