Chapter XXXVII

On the way to the Six Arts Palace, Zhou Lang and Zhang Dong told how they found out that Mr. Lu Qi had died.

Mr. Luzzi was found dead in his room, and he did not go out that morning, but everyone did not suspect it, because Mr. Luqi often spent the whole day in his room reading.

At noon, Mr. Lusaki's entourage brought him lunch as usual, and when he entered the room, he found him lying on the table, and the entourage thought that he was just asleep, so he patted him gently and asked him to get up to eat, but he didn't expect Mr. Lusaki's body to fall to the ground all of a sudden.

When the people from the Six Arts Palace arrived, Mr. Lu Qi had been dead for a long time, all parts of his body were normal, but he was hit by a finger on the top of his head, which was directly fatal, and when he died, he seemed to have seen something incredible, and he had a very surprised expression on his face.

At that time, everyone decided to bury Mr. Luzaki's body quietly, not to startle the snake, and then conduct a secret investigation.

When transferring the body, Zhou Lang found that there was a sneaky person outside the door, Zhou Lang immediately shot out to catch him, and found in the process of fighting that this person's luck was actually the heart of Xiwutan, so he wanted to interrogate him strictly, but at this moment, this person secretly took poison, and in a blink of an eye, he died without leaving any clues.

Ming Shuhui listened to Zhou Lang and Zhang Dong's narration, and always frowned and thought hard, he couldn't believe that the people of the Western Martial Arts Arena would actually send a traitor to kill the leader of the Six Arts Palace, but that person had already been caught and recognized, and he couldn't defend himself. Because the mantra of Xiwutan for cultivating internal strength has never been passed on, it is impossible for someone else to plant it.

After Zhou Lang and Zhang Dong talked about the incident of recruiting newcomers in the Six Arts Palace, and told in detail about the process of setting fire to the building, only to hear that Ming Shuhui was thrilled, but he didn't expect that this Senior Brother Wan was almost buried in the Six Arts Palace, but the death of Mr. Lu Qi was linked to Wan Shulou, which made Ming Shuhui even more confused, he didn't believe that Wan Shulou would instruct the mole to assassinate this kind of thing.

A few days later, everyone arrived at the Six Arts Palace, only to see that the building of the Six Arts Palace was towering, there were thirty or forty floors, but the building had been burned to the point that it was not in shape, and there were many workers in the building who were renovating, and it seemed that it would not be restored to its original state in a few months.

"It's all burned like this, what are we doing here? Don't you have a spare base?" asked Ming Shuhui puzzled.

"There is no spare...... Xie Yanran said with a light smile, "We only have this place in the Six Arts Palace, and we have wronged Ming Shaoxia." ”

Zhou Lang and Zhang Dong led everyone around to the back of the building, entered through the back door, and several people came to a glass door, opened the door and walked in, and after walking a short distance, they saw a huge manhole cover appear on the ground. The manhole cover is square, because it is too huge, if it is alone by manpower, it will never be able to move, Xie Yanran walked to the side of the manhole cover, pressed a few passwords on the electronic controller next to it, and the manhole cover slowly lifted.

"Your Six Arts Palace is not upstairs, but downstairs?" Gao Yibai asked in surprise.

"yes, what's the problem? The upstairs is just to hide people's eyes, but there is nothing in fact, so it's not a pity to be destroyed by fire. Xie Yanran said with a smile.

"When it was on fire, did you also hide here?" Gao Yibai then asked.

"Of course not, we have already hid out, you want us to become called flower chickens!" Zhou Lang sneered.

Gao Yibai thought about it, he really shouldn't hide underground when he was on fire, and then stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

Everyone walked down from the manhole cover, and there was an elevator on the lower floor, and everyone boarded the elevator and prepared to go straight underground.

The elevator door just closed slowly, and suddenly a long sword was inserted between the cracks in the door, and everyone in the elevator was shocked, if the elevator went down, there would definitely be an accident if the sword was inserted in this way, so Zhou Lang and Zhang Dong began to press the button that controlled the elevator door to open, but it was too late, and the elevator was about to start.

At this time, the tip of this long sword began to tremble slightly, and the sword body trembled faster and faster, and finally it was almost impossible to see that it was shaking, and only a sword shadow could be vaguely seen between the cracks in the door.

"Broken!"

Outside the elevator hall, one person was drinking.

The door slowly opened.

Everyone was shocked, what a sword control power this is.

Looking out of the elevator door, there was a middle-aged man standing at the door, the middle-aged man had thick hair and big eyes, a beard, a strong figure, dressed in white, holding a sword in one hand, standing tall and outstanding.

"Uncle Su!" Ming Shuhui stepped forward and said in surprise as she glared at the middle-aged man.

"Shuhui, why are you here?" The middle-aged man's surprise was no less than that of Ming Shuhui.

"Uncle Shi, is this your uncle?" Xie Yanran asked Ming Shuhui strangely.

"It's my master Bo Su Zhongyao. Ming Shuhui said.

Zhou Lang and Zhang Dong were shocked, the middle-aged uncle with an extraordinary temperament in front of them was actually the mainstay of the Western Martial Arts Arena - Su Zhongyao.

Su Zhongyao ignored the strange eyes of the others, walked into the elevator generously, turned around and pressed the button to close the door.

Mr. Su...... I don't know what you are doing in the Six Arts Palace?" Zhou Lang knew the identity of this martial arts celebrity, and asked respectfully.

"I heard that there was an accident in the Six Arts Palace, and I want to let us carry the pot in the Xiwu Altar, how can I not come forward?" After Su Zhongyao got on the elevator, he always turned his back to everyone, obviously not taking the masters of the Six Arts Palace in the elevator in his eyes, and now he still said with his back to everyone.

"If there is no evidence, we will not suspect the Seibu Altar, but ......," Zhang Dong said.

"It's just that you are all muddy balls, but with that person who can use the internal skills of the Western Martial Arts Arena twice, you can make judgments at will!" Su Zhongyao said contemptuously.

"Uncle Master, I am here for this matter, and I think there are many doubts about this matter. Ming Shuhui walked up to Su Zhongyao and said.

"Shuhui, don't act alone in the future, it's too dangerous. Su Zhongyao turned to the side and said to Ming Shuhui in a serious voice.

"Okay, Uncle Su, but I'm not alone, and these two partners are with me. Ming Shuhui turned around and wanted to introduce Xie Yanran and Gao Yibai to Su Zhongyao.

Su Zhongyao turned his head to look at the two of them, and then turned around again.

"With them, what is the difference between you and being alone, these two people don't know martial arts. Su Zhongyao said coldly.

Xie Yanran has been looking at him unpleasantly since Su Zhongyao appeared, and at this time, listening to him talk and looking down on himself, he was even more angry, but because this person was Ming Shuhui's elder, it was not good to turn his face in person, so Xie Yanran turned around and faced the elevator, out of sight and out of mind.

The elevator soon reached the ground floor, and the group walked down the elevator, although this floor was underground, it was extremely spacious, and there were small rooms neatly arranged around it, and a person in each room was busy working.

"These are the people of the 'Rite Palace', they are responsible for collecting and sorting out information, and they are very busy with their daily work. Xie Yanran walked up to Ming Shuhui and whispered.

"Who are you, why are you so familiar with the Six Arts Palace?" Su Zhongyao's hearing was extremely sensitive, and although Xie Yanran spoke quietly, he also heard it, so Su Zhongyao frowned and asked.

"She is the little palace master of the Six Arts Palace, her name is Xie Yanran, and she wanted to introduce you to Uncle Shi just now. Ming Shuhui pulled Xie Yanran and said.

"How did you get mixed up with the little demon girl of the Six Arts Demon Palace?" Su Zhongyao frowned tighter and asked seriously.

"I ...... I...... Xie Yanran is not a little demon girl......" Ming Shuhui blocked Xie Yanran behind him, and defended without confidence.

"Hmph!" Su Zhongyao craned his neck and said, "We'll talk about your business later!"

Everyone followed Zhou Lang and Zhang Dong to the innermost part of this floor, in front of them was an office, and as soon as they walked to the door, the door opened.

"Come in!" a lazy voice came from inside the door.

As everyone entered, a huge desk came into view, and behind the desk sat a man who was reclining in an office chair, with his feet on the desk, his hands crossed on his abdomen, his eyes closed, and he looked tired and haggard, and had no energy.

"Dad, I'm back......" Xie Yanran tiptoed forward.

The man behind the desk opened his eyes, saw Xie Yanran coming, quickly retracted his legs, and sat up straight, obviously this person was Xie Cheng, the palace master of the Six Arts Palace.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back......" Xie Cheng said to Xie Yanran with a smile, "Lost weight...... I heard that the monks of Kiyomizuji Temple have arrested you?"

"Yes...... Thanks to Ming Shuhui, he rescued me. Xie Yanran said to Xie Cheng, her eyes looking at Ming Shuhui.

Xie Cheng nodded to Ming Shuhui as a sign of gratitude.

"Xiwutan saved my daughter once, but it can't offset the revenge of killing Mr. Lu Qi!" Xie Cheng suddenly said with a fierce gaze.

"Mr. Xie. Su Zhongyao stepped forward and said, "Are you so sure that Xiwu Tan did it?"

"Mr. Su is here too...... Xie Cheng's eyes softened again, and he said to Su Zhongyao, "It seems that Xiwutan really wants to solve this matter." ”

"That's right!" Su Zhongyao chuckled, "Not only this matter, but also something I want to talk to Mr. Xie about." ”

"Oh?" Xie Cheng asked, "I don't know what else is going on?" ”

"The main altar of the Xiwu Altar was robbed a while ago, and the altar was basically dead up and down, and the altar master and several junior disciples disappeared, I wonder if Mr. Xie knows about this?" Su Zhongyao still smiled, but asked aggressively.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, especially Ming Shuhui, who had also suspected the Six Arts Palace before in this matter, but after contacting Xie Yanran and the people of the Six Arts Palace, he felt that these people were not like people who could wash the Western Martial Arts Altar in blood, so he didn't think too much about it, at this time, Su Zhongyao suddenly mentioned it, and Ming Shuhui couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.

Xie Cheng was also stunned for a long time, then took out a cigarette case from the drawer, took out a cigarette and lit it in his mouth.

"I've heard about what you said, but the information is secret, and I don't know the specific situation, could it be that we are to blame for this matter?" Xie Cheng said with a deep puff of his cigarette.

"Before, our Ming Tan Lord sent me out to carry out the mission, mainly to investigate the cause of the accident in the Martial Arts Association, in fact, many clues in the Martial Arts Association also point to your Six Arts Palace, but I haven't investigated it clearly, I don't dare to talk nonsense, I didn't expect that there would be an accident in the West Martial Arts Altar after that. Su Zhongyao stared at Xie Cheng and said.

"Oh......" Xie Cheng lowered his head and pondered, "Do you have to blame our Six Arts Palace for all these bad things?"

"It's not to blame, in fact, just like your investigation of the case of Lu Qixian's life, some evidence points to you. But I'm just skeptical of you, not like you've already taken action. The more Su Zhongyao spoke, the more cold his tone became, "Mr. Xie, I know that Wanshulou has been here, where is he?"

"Wanshulou ......" Xie Cheng raised his head to meet Su Zhongyao's sharp gaze, "I'm also looking for that kid, there are some things I have to ask him face-to-face, he is not small." ”

"Didn't Mr. Xie hide?" Su Zhongyao sneered.

"If we catch him, we will never drag our feet, we will definitely kill him or let him go at this moment, whether we kill him or let him go, we will definitely tell you the truth now, I have no reason to lie to you. Xie Cheng took another deep puff of cigarette and said slowly.

"But after Wanshulou came out of you, it was never found again, how can this be explained?" asked Su Zhongyao.

"Wanshulou has rescued a lot of people from me, if everyone has no news, will they all blame me?" Xie Cheng asked rhetorically.

"You are indeed to blame. Su Zhongyao snorted lightly, "You almost killed them all, the Six Arts Palace was already in a grudge with martial arts, and you had a fire that day, I don't know how many enemies there will be!"

"I don't have to worry about this matter, it's come to this, my plan didn't succeed, and they weren't burned to death, what else is there to say?" Xie Cheng said impatiently.

"I'm here today just to give an explanation, whether it's the previous incident of the Martial Arts Association, or the robbery of the Xiwu Altar later, and then the fire a while ago, it has a great deal to do with your Six Arts Palace! If there is no explanation today, I'm afraid it can't be said!" Su Zhongyao had already drawn the sword in his hand, and said with the sword in his chest.

Xie Cheng's temper was originally weird, and he never explained when he misunderstood, but this time, seeing that the other party was a leading figure in the Xiwu Arena, he justified a few words, and these words already made him feel uncomfortable. At this time, Su Zhongyao wanted to draw his sword and make a move, and Xie Cheng didn't want to say more.

"Mr. Su, you can think about it, this is my territory, I'll give you one last chance, leave now, otherwise you won't be able to leave for a while!" Xie Cheng stood up and persuaded Su Zhongyao.

"No, I'm here to ask for an explanation, not to run away, you can go together!" Su Zhongyao pointed his sword to the ground, arrogantly speaking.

"Have courage!" Xie Cheng gave a thumbs up, "It would be nice if we were friends, I really don't want to meet you in battle." ”

Xie Cheng walked to the corner of the office as he spoke, and there was an ancient sword on the shelf in the corner, Xie Cheng took it down and held it in his hand.

"The woman is not in the middle of the ......," Xie Cheng sighed, "The sword that was kept for her daughter to defend herself was actually given away as a token of love." ”

Xie Cheng had already seen the sword on Ming Shuhui's waist, although he was talking to himself, but when Ming Shuhui and Xie Yanran heard it, they couldn't help but blush with shame, and Ming Shuhui moved the sword back to his waist and hid it embarrassedly.

"Is there no other way?" Ming Shuhui leaned over to Su Zhongyao's side and whispered, "There are many of them, so it's hard for us to get out today......

Ming Shuhui has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, but this time he really didn't want to be an enemy of the Six Arts Palace, especially when Xie Yanran was still on the side at this time, so he tried to persuade Su Zhongyao.

"There's no way, if you're afraid, go first, with me here, they can't stop you. Su Zhongyao said.

Ming Shuhui was very embarrassed, but let him not help each other and let his master fight alone, which was absolutely impossible.

"If I don't leave, I won't leave if my uncle doesn't leave!" Ming Shuhui also took out the sword at his waist and held Xie Yanran's sword in his hand, Ming Shuhui was even more embarrassed.

Xie Yanran saw that Ming Shuhui was going to fight against her father, and she didn't blame him in the slightest, because she knew that the master was like a family, and the master and uncle were in trouble, so he had to help, so Xie Yanran hid aside, anxious, hoping that both sides would be safe, but with the current situation, it was obviously impossible.

I saw Xie Cheng take out the ancient sword, the scabbard of this ancient sword is dark green, after pulling it out, the sword body is still dull, only faintly red, the blade is very thick and wide, the hilt is surprisingly long, in Xie Cheng's hand, it looks very bulky, it really doesn't look like a weapon used for actual combat.

"Oh?" Su Zhongyao said with a slight startle, "Blood Sea Ancient Sword...... Mr. Xie has a lot of treasures!"

"Don't dare!" Xie Cheng replied with a smile, "Collecting antiques is a small hobby. ”

"Okay! Today, I am fortunate to learn Mr. Xie's high moves, and with the blessing of this divine weapon, I am really fortunate to have three lives, please!" Su Zhongyao suddenly became angry and said to Xie Cheng.

I saw Xie Cheng slowly erect the ancient sword, tucked it in front of his chest, his eyes seemed to be closed, his body was straight, and his arms were flat.

Su Zhongyao also raised his sword, volleyed into the void, raised his sword sideways, and stood still.

Ming Shuhui stood beside Su Zhongyao and swept the formation, while several people from the Six Arts Palace also stood aside, just waiting to observe the situation on the field.

The light flickered slightly, and the two of them shot at the same time, although the ancient sword in Xie Cheng's hand seemed heavy, at the moment of the shot, it was as light as a feather, and it slashed down vertically at an extremely fast speed. And Su Zhongyao saw that Xie Cheng's move was fierce and swift, and he didn't dare to respond to his edge, so he flashed sideways, and at the same time handed out a sword straight and went straight to the body of the ancient sword.

Although Xie Cheng's slash is old, it still does not stop, and continues to slash downward, everyone is puzzled, if this sword is cut again, there is no threat, and it will even be hit by Su Zhongyao's moves, just when everyone is surprised, Xie Cheng held the sword with both hands, and the hilt in his hand suddenly turned sharply, and the long hilt just supported Su Zhongyao's sword move, the timing and direction were half a minute, and the two swords intersected, buzzing.

At the same time, both sides took a step back and re-sided each other.

"It seems that Mr. Xie has mastered the magic of the ancient sword, and the swordsmanship is even closer, congratulations!" Su Zhongyao had a smile on his face, looking calm and fearless, but he was thinking about how to deal with the enemy in his heart.

"Mr. Su's swordsmanship is superb, and I admire it very much!" Xie Cheng saw that Su Zhongyao's sword moves were old and steady, and the fight was not chaotic at all, and he also attached importance to it in his heart.

A trace of murderous aura flashed in the eyes of the two again, and they fought together again.
