Chapter 259: The master resigns, and all the secrets return to the land.
Venerable Tu Yuan had no breath, and his body was already cold and stiff.
Zong Zheng immediately panicked, Venerable Tu Yuan has always had the grace of caring for him, although the two have known each other for a short time, but along the way, Tu Yuan's predecessors have cared for him, which is obvious to all, and now he died suddenly, which undoubtedly made Zong Zheng feel very sad, this came too suddenly.
He even felt a little confused, the death of the Tu Yuan Venerable disrupted one of his most important plans, originally the sect was planning to use the secret book of the Five Elements Gong to lure the Four Yuan Venerable to cultivate, and then let the Tu Yuan Venerable retrograde meridians when the five elements were combined, so as to achieve the goal of injuring the five people with the injury of the Tu Yuan Venerable, all of this was discussed between himself and the Tu Yuan Venerable, but now that he died suddenly, it would be difficult for the Four Yuan Venerable to take care of them, and even if he recovered his body, I am afraid that he would become their target again.
When Zong Zheng was sad, Yuan Tiandi rushed to the scene, saw Zong Zheng's expression, and saw the Tuyuan Venerable lying motionless on the ground, he immediately felt something, and stepped forward to check the pulse of the Tuyuan Venerable.
"It's useless, he's gone. Zong Zheng replied sadly.
Yuan Tiandi was also sure that the Tu Yuan Venerable had indeed returned to heaven and was powerless, his pulse had already stiffened, and it seemed that he had been dead for two or three hours.
"What kind of person is this Tu Yuan Venerable, the person who can kill him in this world is not simple, and this person must be in Pangu Peak. Yuan Tiandi analyzed.
"That's right, but there are only three of us in this Pangu Peak, and none of the three of us have the absolute strength to defeat the Tuyuan Venerable, and there is no motive to kill him! Zong Zheng said the doubts in his heart.
Yuan Tiandi suddenly thought of something, he leaned over and ripped off the clothes on the Tuyuan Venerable, but saw that there was an extremely dark palm mark on his back, that is, this palm directly took the life of the Tuyuan Venerable, but the internal strength of the Tuyuan Venerable is also powerful enough, just this palm will kill the Tuyuan Venerable, the person who comes out of the palm must be a surprise attack, and the internal force cultivation must be far above the Tuyuan Venerable, otherwise it is impossible.
Both of them expressed their own opinions, and they coincided, and the serenity on Venerable Tu Yuan's face made Zong Zheng put forward a bold conjecture, "The murderer must know Venerable Tu Yuan, and he has a good relationship with Venerable Tu Yuan, otherwise the raid will definitely not be successful, so that Venerable Tu Yuan has no room to struggle and resist at all." ”
Yuan Tiandi doubted whether it would be the Four Yuan Venerables to join forces to attack, theoretically it was possible, first with a one-person surprise attack from behind a palm on the back of the Tu Yuan Venerable, and at the same time, the remaining three people gathered internal force to transmit to the person who came out of the palm, then it was not impossible to combine the power of the Four Yuan Venerable to kill the Tu Yuan Venerable without resistance.
"No way. Zong Zheng quickly overturned Yuan Tiandi's conjecture.
"Why is the junior brother so sure?" Yuan Tiandi was puzzled.
Zong Zheng informed Yuan Tiandi of his plan to use the hand of the Tuyuan Venerable to kill the Siyuan Venerable, and Yuan Tiandi suddenly understood that if according to what Zong Zheng said, the Siyuan Venerable would never be willing to die of the Tuyuan Venerable, and if you think about it carefully, the Tuyuan Venerable has a peaceful face, and he must have been plotted by someone who has a good relationship, and although the Tuyuan Venerable and the Siyuan Venerable are brothers, the relationship is not good, so the murderer who killed the Tuyuan Venerable has become a mystery.
Although Zong Zheng was very sad and lost, he had to face such a sudden fact, and what worried him even more was that the person who killed the Tu Yuan Venerable was not simple, and this person must be in the Pangu Peak, and with the death of the Tu Yuan Venerable, the Four Yuan Venerable would definitely pose a great threat to himself.
He and Yuan Tiandi brought the body of Tuyuan Venerable back to Pangu Cave.
Xi Jie originally thought that Tu Yuan Venerable was hanging out, but she didn't expect to die suddenly, looking at Tu Yuan Venerable's corpse, she felt very surprised.
Zong Zheng and Yuan Tiandi confided their conjectures and suggested that the murderer was in Pangu Peak, and the murderer was by no means simple, and for a while, the three of them felt that Pangu Cave had become a dangerous place.
Originally, Yuan Tiandi and Tu Yuan Venerable planned to leave together, but now that Tu Yuan Venerable had died violently, he didn't dare to leave Pangu Peak alone, and he didn't worry about leaving Xi Jie and Zongzheng who was recovering.
After discussion, the three of them decided to let Yuan Tiandi stay for a few more days temporarily, and everyone discussed a good countermeasure as soon as possible in order to prevent the tragedy of Tu Yuan Venerable from happening again, the three of them proposed that each other should not leave alone in these days, in order to ensure that it was complete, after all, the opponent was a powerful character hiding in the shadows.
Xi Jie, who had always lived in peace, suddenly became panicked because of the death of Venerable Tuyuan, she was not worried about herself, she was worried about her two children, and her own place, after all, Pangu Cave did not seem to be a safe place anymore.
She looked at the two children who were sleeping in the bamboo basket, her eyes full of concern and concern.
Zong Zheng saw Xi Jie's anxiety and anxiety, he looked at Xi Jie's anxious and worried look, and suddenly realized that the senior sister was also quite lovable, and unconsciously stepped forward and hugged Xi Jie tightly, "Don't worry, senior sister, the junior brother will accompany you and the child." ”
Xi Jie felt a little uncomfortable by Zong Zheng's sudden hug, but she didn't resist, she instinctively chose to accept, and for the first time felt this kind of love for her junior brother, his body temperature, his heartbeat, Xi Jie could feel it.
Zong Zheng hugged Xi Jie tightly from the bottom of his heart, and through Xi Jie's snow-white neck, he could smell the frankincense emanating from his senior sister's body, sandwiched with the faint fragrance unique to his senior sister, and that faint fragrance seemed to remind him of something, yes, it was the smell of the woman in the dream that night in the dream.
Xi Jie's hand unconsciously put on the back of Zongzheng's waist, and the two hugged each other tightly, forgetting the existence of the senior brother next to him, however, Yuan Tiandi looked calm, he did not feel any embarrassment, but sincerely blessed the young junior brother and sister from the bottom of his heart.
The two of them let go after a short period of warmth, but the eyes that looked at each other were obviously beyond the previous feelings of senior sisters and brothers, whether Zong Zheng admitted that he had been emotionally attached to Xi Jie, his words and deeds, all kinds of demeanor were consciously or unconsciously reflected.
Zong Zheng and Yuan Tiandi planned to take Venerable Tuyuan outside the cave and choose a quiet treasure place to bury him, which could be regarded as a little gratitude to Venerable Tuyuan for what he could do in the end.
Considering that Pangu Cave was no longer as safe as before, especially with two young children, Zongzheng asked Xijie to take the children with him and his senior brother to bury Venerable Tuyuan.
For the sake of the safety of the two children, Xi Jie also had respect for Venerable Tu Yuan, so she went to pay tribute to the two children right and left hands, and went out with Zongzheng and Yuan Tiandi.
Zong Zheng carefully chose a place that he had always liked to spend in Pangu Cave, with lush woods and a stream with tinkling springs.
After digging the tomb, he and Yuan Tiandi carefully moved the Tuyuan Venerable to the stream, Zong Zheng took out a cloth towel, facing the stream, he wanted to wipe the Tuyuan Venerable clean, out of the most sincere respect and gratitude to this senior from the bottom of his heart, he wanted him to leave cleanly.
When Zong Zheng stretched out Venerable Tuyuan's hand and was about to wipe it, he saw that Venerable Tuyuan's fingers were stained with a lot of dust, especially in his nails, although he felt a little strange, but he had no clue, and it was only a moment of suspicion, and he soon continued to wipe his body for Venerable Tuyuan.
After wiping his body, Zong Zheng noticed that although Venerable Tu Yuan's face was peaceful, his eyes before he died were very different, and he couldn't tell what it felt, which was obviously contradictory to the peacefulness of his face.
With the help of Yuan Tiandi, the two put the Tuyuan Venerable into the earth for peace, and set up a tombstone, and the three of them sincerely gave the Tuyuan Venerable a big gift to show their respect for him, he was also a powerful figure.
Looking at the grave in front of him and the tombstone, Zong Zheng couldn't help but think of the burial of his mother when he was a child, as well as the establishment of cards for Ouyang seniors and Shangguan seniors in the fairy forest.
This feeling made him feel very sad, the death of Venerable Tu Yuan was very strange, and he had too many doubts and puzzles.
Zong Zheng secretly swore to the tombstone that he must find out the murderer with his own hands, even if he is defeated, he should do his best, otherwise he will be sorry for his conscience.
Seeing that the time was not early, the two children cried because of hunger, and the three of them saluted to the senior of Tuyuan again, and then left in a huff.
The sudden departure of Venerable Tu Yuan made the people of Pangu Cave panic for a while, the other party was a shocking master hiding in the shadows, especially Xijie had two children who needed protection.
Xi Jie suspected that this person had come in with Zong Zheng or Senior Brother, who had lived in Pangu Cave and had been peaceful.
Zong Zheng felt that the death of Venerable Tu Yuan was probably an accident, he and Xi Jie's thoughts were just the opposite, he suspected that this person had been in the Pangu Cave all along, it was very likely that Venerable Tu Yuan had discovered some secret that caused this person to kill people, and this person definitely knew Venerable Tu Yuan, otherwise it would be impossible to succeed in the sneak attack.
Yuan Tiandi was even more supportive of Zongzheng's suspicions, but if Zongzheng's speculation was correct, then who was the person who killed the Tu Yuan Venerable?
I'm afraid that only the dead Tuyuan Venerable knows about all this.
