"Why did this Thunderbolt Hall in the south of the Yangtze River collude with the Demon Sect in the Western Regions?"

"The ancestors of Perak Hall were used by Emperor Taizong of our dynasty in the past, and they provided a large number of helpers and firearms for Emperor Taizong during the Xuanwumen Change, and made a great contribution to defeating Prince Yin..."

"In that case, they are also sensible, why do people who understand proportions collude with foreign teachers in a vain attempt to subvert my Central Plains martial arts?" Li Bai couldn't help but be very curious when he heard this.

"After Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, he did not avoid talking about the ancestors of Perak Hall because they were people in the rivers and lakes, but Perak Hall was arrogant and oppressed the people since the previous generation of hall masters, and the emperor accepted his title when he was angry. ”

"It's a pity that they failed, the righteous people of the Central Plains Martial Arts united to encircle and suppress them, and even the Tang Sect of Shuzhong, which has always been in a corner, participated in this operation, even my master..."

"Yes, they failed, at that time, the master of the Perak Hall was killed by my master, and the rest of the people had already been exiled to Lingnan, and the method of making firearms had long been hidden in the palace, and no one had ever seen it. So where did this thunderbolt come from, and who is this man in black?"

Hearing this, Li Bai suddenly laughed slightly, patted He Jizhen on the shoulder, he knew He Jizhen's current mood, "Don't worry, Lao He, what problem can't I solve? ”

"I can only hope so, let's go!" After that, the two got up and left, but at this moment, a shocking conspiracy had been quietly born.

A moment later, the two arrived at Qingfeng Tower.

He Ji was really angry, rubbing his hands and looking at Li Bai with a smile in his eyes, "I really should have started a family early, this kind of weather made Mrs. Wen a pot of wine, drank wine and ate hot pot next to the small stove, and then hugged Mrs. Sleep beautifully... How good would that be, when does Brother Taibai want to settle down?"

Li Bai raised his head and glanced at him, smiled coldly, and seemed to be very indifferent to this kind of thing, "After becoming a family, how can I walk the rivers and lakes to hoe the strong and help the weak? I'm not like you in the temple, everything is stable and reliable, I'm just a cloth and a few confidants, and I'm already very satisfied." ”

"I think people should be old enough to settle down and start a business, and only when they have a home can they have a direction and know their own meaning. He Jizhen picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "I have always felt that if people don't have a home, they are like duckweed. ”

"I feel that having a home brings with it constraints, especially when I walk the rivers and lakes, and having a home is as if I am tied to an invisible rope, and I feel uncomfortable. By the way, what happened to you and Miss Wu?"

He Jizhen looked at Li Bai, and when he heard the three words of Miss Wu, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, "Separated, I'm just a catcher in the six doors, and I'm very majestic when I say it, but in fact, what kind of ability do I have? She wants a better life, and of course I can't satisfy her. As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it down.

"Everyone has the right to pursue a better life, isn't it?" He Jizhen said very lightly but heavily, as if he had to exert all his strength to say these words.

"But that should also be pursued by your own hands, isn't it?" Li Bai paused and looked at him firmly.

Li Bai has always been a very arrogant person, and He Jizhen naturally knew it, so he stopped talking, and slowly raised his wine glass after being silent for a while, "Okay, let's not talk about these things in the past, let's talk about the case." ”

The two raised their cups and touched them, Li Bai didn't know what he wanted to hold in the pot with chopsticks, and said thoughtfully: "Lao He, I don't feel that this case is simple, it's not simple." ”

"Yes, in the past, the heads of the three sects in the encirclement and suppression of the Demon Sect backstabbed in the snowy night, the Demon Sect Wind Envoy who had been destroyed for many years, and the pigeon opened his mouth, what is the connection between this..."He Jizhen said quietly thoughtfully, "It is said that the same snow fell on the day when the Central Plains Martial Arts encircled and suppressed the Demon Sect many years ago, could it be that the Demon Sect demons turned into ghosts and came to take revenge?"

"Lao He, you have been under too much pressure lately and have been restless, rest assured that I can solve any strange case. Li Bai patted He Jizhen on the shoulder to express comfort. "By the way, you said that the heads of the three sects in the Demon Sect were encircled and suppressed in the past, so what other sects are there?" Li Bai suddenly felt that this should be a very useful clue.

"At that time, the Central Plains martial arts except for Shaolin, which did not ask about the world, and the Shuzhong Tang Sect in a corner of the country, almost all participated, among which the most contributed were Wudang, Huashan, Qingcheng and the beggar gang, and the rest were some nameless wild sects and symbolically sent one or two beginner disciples to make up the number of sects. ”

"Then it seems that we can only continue to investigate by the clue of the beggar gang. ”

"But as far as I know, Hong Riqing, the current leader of the Beggar Gang, has always been in sight, and even the elders and disciples of the gang have been communicating with him through flying pigeons, how can we find him?" He Jizhen hurriedly asked.

"Hong Riqing has always been casual, but he is never absent from the major events in the gang, tomorrow is the annual meeting of the beggar gang, this time it was held in Chang'an, presumably he had arrived in Chang'an a few days ago. Li Bai touched his chin with one hand and said lightly.

"Hahaha, it's worthy of Brother Taibai, but it's really yours!" He Jizhen looked very happy after hearing what Li Bai said, raised his cup and drank it directly.

Li Bai raised his cup and drank it all, "It's getting late, today you and I will rest as soon as possible, and we will go to the beggar gang meeting together tomorrow." ”

After that, the two went out to leave, and as soon as they went out, they saw that a layer of white snowflakes had fallen outside. Li Bai stretched out his palm to catch a snowflake, and quietly looked at the suddenly said, "Snow, it's not good, Lao He, come with me!" Before the words were finished, the figures of the two people jumped over the branches one after the other.

"Where are you going? Brother Taibai!"

"North of the city, land temple. ”

The two people rose and fell in the snowy night, like a falcon flying at a low altitude to catch prey, and the feet lightly stepped on the place of borrowing force and then stepped into the air again, the cold wind blew the two very cold, and the snowflakes fell on the hair messily, but the two did not have the heart to tidy up, one after the other fell in front of the door of the land temple in the north of the city. At this time, He Jizhen found out that Li Bai's light skills were really worthy of his reputation, although the two had known each other for a long time, they had never competed, and he couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, "Brother Taibai's light skills are really powerful, Qingfeng Tower is more than ten miles away from here, this is only half a pillar of incense, and the time is only half a pillar of incense, I am already exhausted and my breath is chaotic, but Brother Taibai has a stable breath, and he doesn't look tired at all, as if he has walked around the garden of his yard!"

The two of them stood motionless in front of the door of the Land Temple, and no one spoke, only hearing the "whirring" sound of the cold wind passing through the dilapidated windows of the Land Temple, as if it was a mournful cry from the underworld in this dark night. After a pause, Li Bai stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, signaling to go in. The two of them are worthy of being veterans of the rivers and lakes, and they immediately relaxed for a moment and did not relax, and they walked on the snow without making the slightest sound.

After the two pushed the door open, He Jizhen took out the fire fold in his arms and blew it gently, and after the firelight was illuminated, he found Hong Riqing who had fallen to the ground, He Jizhen hurriedly ran over to check that to his surprise, Hong Riqing had not yet lost his breath, He Jizhen hurriedly held Hong Riqing, and hurriedly asked: "Senior Hong, who hurt you, have you seen who it is!?"

Hong Riqing slowly opened his eyes, and said a few words in a faint breath: "Yes... Be... He..."Because Hong Riqing was hit hard in the neck, he was really speechless, and he could only spit out a few words with all his strength. "Who is it?Senior Hong?" He Jizhen asked eagerly, for fear that this last clue would be cut off.

"Yes..."Hong Riqing finally spit out the word and then lost his breath, He Jizhen sighed and helped Hong Riqing close his eyes, only to see that there was still a look of surprise and disbelief in his eyes after he died.

"Hey, Brother Taibai's last clue has also been broken, I'm afraid this case will become an unsolved case. ”

"Lao He, don't be too disappointed, it's not easy for Senior Hong to highlight these words after receiving such a blow to the neck, and even if he can tell the name of the murderer in this situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to hear who it is. Li Bai patted He Jizhen on the shoulder and said lightly to express comfort, "But I always feel that this matter is about to come to light, and I have this hunch." ”

There is a case of restoration in the ruined land temple, only the little fire in the house illuminates the cold night, and the pigeon crying in the distance seems to be a real provocation by the murderer to Li Bai and He Ji, and the more Li Bai's heart feels stable at this time, because he knows that the night will be dawn.

The next morning, inside the six gates of Chang'an City.

Li Bai and He Jizhen sat on the chair holding hot tea, this is the best Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, which was rewarded by the emperor for He Jizhen's meritorious investigation of the case before, the two of them held the tea, and the faint aroma wafted out of the cup to make people addicted, but at this moment, the two of them did not have the mood to taste leisurely at all.

"Drink some, Brother Taibai, this is the best Gu Zhu Zi Bamboo Shoots. He Jizhen took a sip and said lightly, although He Jizhen said this, he couldn't taste the slightest taste of the tea as soon as he took it.

"When we rethink the flow of this case, I seem to have found something. Li Bai was silent for a long time and finally said this.
