Chapter 43: The Guguan Murder Case
At this moment, the moon hung high in the sky, and the clear light was scattered in the courtyard. The breeze passed, and the figure of the old man in the cyan robe under the withered shadow of the old tree swayed, and spit out a mouthful of blood on the qi and blood. The middle-aged beautiful woman was shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly took the rope that was shining blue in the cold night into her arms, and hurriedly supported the old man.
"Master ......"
"It's okay, this Xuanyin needle poison has flare up again just now. Now, if I use my aura again, I'm afraid that my whole body will be corrupted by it. For now, you can only rely on you to resist that demon. After Lao Dao said this, his face turned pale for a while.
"Master, that person is a well-known foundation building monk. With my cultivation and this town spirit rope, can I really stop this person? The middle-aged beauty said with some anxiety.
"Hmph...... This person sneaked up on me while I was cultivating Xuangong, otherwise not to mention that he was a foundation building cultivator, even if a master of feathering wanted to hit me hard, it would not be easy. As long as you hold the spiritual treasure I have given you, it will not be difficult to stop it for a moment. ”
It seems that after listening to what the old Taoist said, the middle-aged beautiful woman's face was relieved. Seeing that she was relieved, the old man patted the woman's shoulder again, quite intimately.
"It's just that this person is suspicious by nature. As a teacher, just in case, you also need your cooperation. ”
Hearing this, the woman's eyebrows furrowed slightly. But I also know that she, the teacher, is moody, and she doesn't dare to listen to her calculations.
At the moment, he just said: "Master, if you have any orders, you will not give up." ”
"Hmm......," the old man replied casually.
The old man looked lightly and saw that his plump female disciple was looking down at him, and a trace of viciousness flashed in his eyes. No one expected that he would suddenly attack. The old man didn't know where to change a short sword in his hand, and he slammed it into the beautiful woman's back. The woman reacted that it was already a blade, and her eyes were dull looking at the master who was still praising her just now, as if she didn't understand why she wanted to kill herself.
Lin Ziyun and the others, who were hiding behind the statue, suddenly saw this scene. was so frightened that he almost screamed, Lin Ziyun hurriedly covered Zijuan's small mouth, and both of them were so angry that they didn't dare to come out.
"My good apprentice, the last thing your teacher wants you to do for me is to die for me. Only then will I have a chance to escape. The old man took the spirit cord from the woman's waist, and said slowly when he saw her fall to the ground.
"Why?" said Master...... "There was still a hint of doubt in her eyes until she died.
"Hmph, do you really think that I don't know that you secretly left clues for the demon to chase after you. Isn't it the "Nine Flowers Immortal Sutra"? Unfortunately, you won't be able to see that scripture until you die. A grim smile flashed across the old man's face. "Do you really think that the teacher doesn't know? I just want to test you. Do you have anything else to say now?"
"If it weren't for the temptation of that spirit index, it would paralyze you to be careless. I'm afraid that I have no spiritual power today, and I really can't finish off you with my own hands. The old man said viciously.
The woman heard this, and her eyes glanced at the spirit rope in the old man's hand.
"Master, you are already in a catastrophe. Even if you kill me today, you won't be able to escape the pursuit of others. You have no spiritual power, and you still have to pull me on my back, so ruthless. ”
"Haha...... I have nothing to say about today. The middle-aged beauty sighed faintly, but she didn't see her explain. The night breeze blew her hair in a mess, and the red blood stained her long white dress. Seeing this, the old man's face finally revealed a trace of sincere regret and grief. The disciple who has cultivated himself for many years did not expect to unite with the evil demons to frame him.
"Master, in fact, I am not wrong to do this. Although you taught me to cultivate immortals, you never regarded me as a true disciple. If it weren't for Master, how could I have made such a decision......"
Before the woman could finish speaking, the old man heard this, and his face turned hideous. "Criminals, deceitful teachers dare to be so rude, and they will not repent to death. Perhaps it will take your life today. ”
The old man's hand was faintly bright, and he was about to slash it with one palm. When the woman saw this, she did not have the slightest fear. Looking at the old man with struggle, he couldn't stop laughing.
"Huh...... In your eyes, I am just a slave who comes and goes at a moment's notice, not a disciple at all. Pity me until I die, still deceived by you, but you say that I lied to you. Master, if you think I'm framing you, kill me. ”
The palm power has been accumulated, after listening to this. The old man's face was cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The palm he raised slowly fell, and he was weak.
"Master, you believe me, I really didn't lie to you. Don't you believe even the words of a dying man?"
"Master, you have lost all your spiritual power, save me. Help me, I can still take you away. If you kill me now, you won't be able to protect yourself, Master. The middle-aged beauty seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope, pulling the old man's Taoist robe and begging him.
The old man sighed after all, and his face, which was already vicissitudes, showed a hint of gloom.
"Boom ......"
There was a loud bang, and I saw that the beautiful woman in the courtyard had stood up at some point, but the old man's body had been slapped out by the woman's palm and fell heavily to the ground. Blood spilled from the mouth.
"It is said that ginger is still old and spicy, if I hadn't been prepared, I was afraid that I would have died in the hands of the old thief today. Ha ha...... Old thief, you can't use your spiritual power anymore, right? As long as you obediently hand over the "Jiuhua Immortal Sutra", I can also give you a happy death, otherwise your soul will be scattered. ”
In the moonlight, the woman looked down at the old Taoist and laughed unscrupulously.
"You ......"
"Aren't you curious, why didn't I die when I was about to die? I'm not as stingy as you, and I won't tell anyone the secret when I'm dying. Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, I have long known that you have different intentions for me, so I have already taken precautions against the stabbing you stabbed me just now. However, the blood-forming pill bought for a hundred spirit stones can deceive you, an old thief, once in vain. ”
The old Taoist looked at it, and sure enough, he saw that the scar on the woman's back had healed. This hematopoietic pill can live the flesh and bones of the dead, and it can indeed heal injuries of this magnitude. Originally, this woman would have died if she had this kind of elixir, but she was deceived by her acting skills before she was about to die, and she didn't notice this section for a while.
"Die......"
Seeing that the old man refused to confide in the slightest word, the woman finally couldn't help it and slashed it with her palm. The blood in the old man's mouth did not stop, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, and his body fell to the ground.
This woman was suspicious by nature, and in order to make sure that her master had no spiritual power, she risked her life. It wasn't until she saw that the old man had to use a mortal dagger to kill her that she was convinced that it was indeed the end of the crossbow. If she sees that this is wrong, she will definitely feign death with her character, and she will be able to escape at that time. It's just that even she didn't expect it to be so easy, the unbeatable master on weekdays was really killed by herself like this, and she didn't show a relieved smile until this moment.
Even if Lin Ziyun saw too many hypocritical faces, he couldn't help but sigh that the scene in this ancient view was really terrifying.
The woman groped around for a while, and finally found a bag like a bag, and her face showed ecstasy.
"Wow ......"
Taking away the storage bag, she didn't look at the old man's dead body. With a pinch in his hand, a ball of fire ignited from the old man's corpse, and it burned to ashes in a moment.
Only then did the woman take the golden storage bag in her hand and probe it with her divine sense. Zijuan saw the murder and cremation of corpses here, and her face was already pale with fright. I just ask this killing god to leave quickly, otherwise his and his brother's little lives will definitely be taken away by this "female ghost". Lin Ziyun saw that Juan'er's body was trembling, hugged her slightly, and signaled her not to be nervous. At this time, the night was quiet, and if the woman heard the movement, it would be difficult to escape.
It's just that after a while, the middle-aged beauty's complexion changed.
Lin Ziyun hid in the dark and listened to her snort coldly: "I don't believe that you are dead, and you can't even open your storage bag." ”
The woman couldn't open the storage bag, just because she couldn't break the brand left on the storage bag by the foundation building powerhouse because she was refining qi and cultivating. At this moment, this plump beauty was not in a hurry, and put away the golden purse. It's just that at this time, Lin Ziyun listened to her footsteps, but he was slowly walking towards this side.
Juan'er was so frightened that her throat and eyes came out, and Lin Ziyun's palms couldn't help sweating. Hearing her footsteps getting closer and closer, Lin Ziyun couldn't help but hold a wooden stick, and as soon as the person approached, he smashed it hard.
After all, he was an immortal cultivator, so he calmed down just now. She seemed to notice a faint sound of movement coming from the main hall, as if it was nothing. She was now holding the seal, ready to see if there was a beast or someone hiding behind the idol.
The evening breeze was whistling, and the white cloth in the Taoist temple was blown high and low by the wind. The candle lit next to the statue was also blown out, and Lin Ziyun heard that the footsteps had arrived, and the sweat from his palms almost didn't grip the dagger in his hand.
"Squeaky ......"
With a soft sound, the beautiful woman glanced at the broken branch under her feet, and noticed the sparse charcoal fire next to her. There was a fierce light on her face, and she no longer pinched the magic trick in her hand, but took out the spirit rope in her hand.
"Hey, I didn't expect this old thief to die at your hands. I don't know when, a man in a green robe suddenly appeared in the ancient temple. When the middle-aged beautiful woman heard this voice, she secretly exclaimed in her heart.
Lin Ziyun was holding a dagger in his hand at the moment, as long as this woman took a step closer, she would strike first. The woman did not seem to notice that anyone was talking to her, and that one of the hands raised was about to lift the curtain. Seeing this, Zijuan's little hand tightly grasped the corner of Lin Ziyun's clothes, and her little face was bloodless.
When the man in the green robe who came suddenly saw the woman standing in the middle of the hall and paid no attention to her, he was amazed. A pair of falcon-like eyes narrowed tightly, and slowly walked towards the beautiful woman.
The beautiful woman noticed that the man was coming towards her, and her pretty face turned pale. The curtain she was holding suddenly let go, turned her head to look at the blue-robed man and said coquettishly: "Hmph, you don't say anything about caring about the slave family, don't you care about the slave family's life at all?"
And the two people who were behind the statue at this moment were secretly relieved to see the woman leave. Lin Ziyun was afraid that they would go and return, so he secretly glanced at it. It's just that the candlelight is extinguished, the moonlight is dim, and I can't see the figure clearly, and I can't help but be disappointed. His eyes landed, only to find that a golden brocade bag had fallen on the ground at some point.
It is the "Nine Hua Immortal Sutra" that the master and apprentice talked about when they were fighting for their lives, but I don't know why, why did the beautiful woman leave this thing here. But the woman did not break through their hiding place, and deliberately left it there. This matter is already suspicious, but it is not something that can be figured out now, Lin Ziyun picked up the brocade bag. This thing is something they are fighting for, and maybe it will be a chance to survive if they are discovered.
"There are no traces of fighting methods here, if my guess is correct, Qingping Lao Dao has been hit by my Xuanyin needle, and his spiritual power should have been lost. The blue-robed man ignored the beautiful woman, but turned around and stared at the corpse of the old man who had turned into a pile of ashes and said lightly.
The beautiful woman looked at the blue-robed man with a cold expression, and panicked for no reason. In the change of his eyes, he secretly glanced at the location of the portrait. When she sensed the man in the green robe coming just now, she had already made a decision.
Although she didn't know who was hiding behind the statue, she just sensed it and found that the two of them had no spiritual power in their bodies. Throwing a storage bag into it is just for a gamble. Looking at the indifferent gaze of the blue-robed man, she knew that she had made the right bet. Even if he handed over the "Jiuhua Immortal Sutra" to him with his own hands, I am afraid that it will not end well.
"What about the Nine Flowers Immortal Sutra?" the man turned around and stretched out his hand to the beautiful woman.
"Although I killed the old thief, after all, he built the foundation and cultivated. I tried my best to expose myself, and I couldn't stop it. The Immortal Sutra is likely to turn into ashes along with it. The beautiful woman hurriedly bowed her head and said.
"Smack......
The blue-robed man slapped the woman's face mercilessly, and said in a sinister manner: "The man is dead? Did I let you kill him? I want the fairy scripture, not his life." ”
"Your lord, forgive me, the master has discovered my whereabouts. If I don't kill him, he will take my life. When the woman saw that the man in the green robe was angry, she was so frightened that she quickly knelt on the ground and begged.
"Hmph...... What's the use of keeping you as a waste?" said the blue-robed man coldly, completely ignoring the past. Reciting the magic in his mouth, he opened his mouth and spit out a divine blade, and he was about to kill this woman.
"Haha...... Sure enough, I was not mistaken. Lingchou is so ruthless, I worked hard to help you do things, but I didn't expect you to kill me. The beautiful woman covered her cheek with one hand and pointed at the man in the green robe and said.
"The cooperation between you and me is originally only a relationship of interest. It's just your own wishful thinking, and now that you have caused me to lose the immortal scriptures, what do you dare to talk about. "Lingchou is already thirsty for killing, and when he saw the destruction of the immortal scripture, he only felt that both Qingping Lao Dao and the woman in front of him deserved to die. In his eyes, human life is no match for "Jiuhua Immortal Sutra".
"Haha...... Kill me. In this way, you will never get the immortal scriptures. Luping lifted her snow-white neck, closed her eyes and waited for death.
"What, the Immortal Sutra is in your hand, hand over the Immortal Sutra, give it to me, I won't kill you......" Hearing that the Immortal Sutra was still there, Lingchou said in a trembling voice. Cultivators, what they seek in their lives, are only for the sake of immortals. No matter what his life is, he is originally a world of the jungle. As long as he gets the immortal scriptures and cultivates great magical powers, he will have everything.
"I want you to swear with your soul blood and get the immortal scripture to let me go. ”
"Well, as long as you are willing to give me this scripture, I will not kill you. As if he was afraid that Luping would change her mind, Ling Chou hurriedly said. With that, he slapped his chest, and a drop of glowing blood spat out of his mouth.
"As long as you give me the Jiuhua Immortal Sutra, I swear I won't kill you. ”
Seeing this, Lu Ping breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and said coldly: "Okay, I'll give you the Immortal Sutra ......"
When I heard this, I was overjoyed. Seeing Lu Ping take out an ancient book from her arms, she snatched the scriptures with a bright eye.
"Hmph, you dare to threaten me. After Lingchou got the book, a sword light spat out of his mouth. The sword light burrowed into the woman's body like a spiritual snake, and Lu Ping snorted all her life, spitting blood from her mouth.
"The ants also deserve to negotiate terms with me, and this is what will happen to you. Lingchou said coldly. "I only said that I won't kill you, but I will abolish your whole body cultivation. I just want to tell you that in this world, strength is respected, and everything else is false. ”
Seeing her suddenly repent, Luping injured herself. There was no wave in his eyes, as if he had expected it. She smiled miserably, her towering breasts slumping and her face flushed. Obviously, Lingchou used the power of the blow of the foundation building cultivation just now, even if she was on guard, she was still seriously injured.
Ling Chou didn't care about Luping, and looked at the scriptures in his hand ecstatically. Seeing this, Lu Ping sneered, and she didn't know where to take out a white pill and stuff it into her mouth, her face gradually improved.
"I only laugh at you, and build the foundation in vain. If you look closely at the scriptures in your hand, they are nothing more than a fake. I had long expected that you would not let me go, the "Nine Flowers Immortal Sutra" has already been destroyed, and you don't want to think about it in your life. Luping sneered.
Lingchou flipped through the book, and naturally knew that he had been deceived. I can't wait to cut this woman with a thousand knives, which is not enough to vent my hatred.
"You're looking for ...... death"
Lingchou was furious, and the foundation cultivation on his body burst out. Lu Ping only felt that the spiritual power of the foundation building was pressing towards her like a storm, and she was like facing the power of heaven.
"Qi ......" she endured a mouthful of blood spurting out, and pinched out the magic seal in her hand.
Just as his sorrow was rising, the ground beneath his feet suddenly lit up. Ling's body was trapped in that circle of light, and he felt that he had touched the iron wall. His face changed, and he said with a pale face: "The ...... of the magic circle"
It turned out that Lu Ping knew that this person would not let go of herself, and secretly laid out the formation. Use fake immortal scriptures to lure him to give himself time to set up the formation first, and take it lightly. Sure enough, as she expected, Ling Sorrow repented and wanted to abolish her whole body cultivation. This woman was bold and careful, so that Lin Ziyun, who was in the back, couldn't help but secretly exclaim.
It's just that Luping underestimates the strength of the foundation building period too much, and Lingwu is the cultivation of the Great Perfection in the later stage of foundation building. Even if he was trapped in the spirit array, a powerful cultivation exploded, and a stream of extremely strong spiritual power impacted the spirit array. Lu Ping's heart was shocked, and she didn't know that this person would be out of trouble in a few moments. Once this happens, even if he takes the Immortal Sutra, he is afraid that he will not be able to go far and will be captured by him.
A hint of pain flashed in her eyes, and she glanced at the green spirit rope in her hand. shouted "bind", and the spiritual rope turned into a snake to bind Lingchou's body. In the face of such a strong enemy, she could only give up this foundation-building spirit treasure. As long as this person is trapped for a period of time and takes away the "Jiuhua Immortal Sutra", as long as she leaves here, she is not afraid of this person chasing and killing.
Ling Chou saw that Lu Ping not only trapped him with the formation, but also tied him up with the spirit rope of the town. He was a foundation-building cultivator, when had he ever suffered such a loss at the hands of a weak person who was just refining qi and cultivating. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he spat out a copper bell from his mouth, which was the treasure of his heart.
The bell clanged violently, and countless thin needles flickered coldly, and pierced from the bell in all directions. Luping only felt that the formation was about to break, and her face was as pale as dirt with fright. Even if her mind is higher than the other party, but it is only because she underestimates the foundation monk too much.
Lingchou broke free from the formation, and he didn't know when the spirit cord bound to his body had also fallen off and was held in his hand. It's a long story, but it's actually just two breaths. After Lingchou broke free, he didn't look at Luping. A silver bolt shot out of the bell, and a thin needle went through the woman's throat.
Lu Ping didn't say a word until she died, and there was still a hint of disbelief in her eyes and she didn't close her eyes. Zijuan saw that the previously majestic woman died like this, and her mouth opened slightly in fright, but Lin Ziyun on the side was sure in her heart. The power of this blue-robed man is even more terrifying than the previous veteran and woman.
He was really afraid that this Luping would harm himself before he died, which would not be good.
Lingchou saw her dead, and groped for a while on her. But there are a lot of miscellaneous women's things, but how can there be any "Jiuhua Immortal Sutra", I can't help but be very angry.
"Lingdaoyou, Shangguan Gongzi asked you to find a place to rest, you won't be lazy. When Ling Chou was depressed, a man's voice came from the microphone on his body. After listening to the man's words, a trace of displeasure flashed on his brow, and he replied to the man, and his eyes fell on Lu Ping's corpse again.
