Chapter 111: Murder
The sky is big, I don't know hundreds of thousands of miles, the earth is wide, there is no end in sight, the south of the continent, is an endless swamp, the methane is pervasive all day long, it is very dangerous, it is the world's first-class fierce land, the world has given it a loud name - barren Daze.
And the master of this side of the world is the world-famous Qiankun Tower, which is different from the Seven Stars View that owns the Beidou Peak alone, and the sect of the Qiankun Tower is directly located in the Bagua City.
Bagua City is one of the eight major cities in the world, is the smallest one, the population is only about 800,000, but the degree of prosperity is not far behind, according to legend, Bagua City is the founder of the Qiankun Tower, Qiankunzi, exhausted his life's learning, built based on the two Yi Bagua, because of this, it is respected by the world as the world's first solid city!
In the center of the Bagua City, two ten-storey eight-sided pagodas stand out from the crowd, here is the sect of Qiankun Building, one yin and one yang, echoing each other from afar, the golden pagoda is called Shaoyang Building, all men are men, the masculinity is very obvious, the silver pagoda is called Shaoyin Building, all are women, all are tender like water! Different from the other three major sects, there are thousands of people who are less than thousands, and more than tens of thousands of people, the disciples of Qiankun Building are very rare, only one hundred and eight disciples, but the things are rare and expensive, all of them are dragons and phoenixes among people.
Tonight, the bright moon is in the sky, the stars are dotted, the prosperity of the Bagua City, slowly opening the curtain, it is destined to be another sleepless night, at ten o'clock in the morning, the noisy day of the Bagua City is rare to have a trace of purity, the vast majority of the people in the city are still asleep! The cold wind is coming, the lights of the Shaoyin Building at this moment are all gone, there seems to be a faint sadness, as if covered with a layer of black veil, fortunately, the disciples who keep vigil are dutiful and vigilant.
Outside the Bagua City, in the direction of the barren Daze, a black shadow was advancing rapidly, dressed in black and perfectly blending with the night, if it weren't for the sound of the rapidly advancing body rubbing against the air, it would be difficult to find it!
Unconsciously, the black shadow came to the Bagua City, the tall city wall and the weak body formed a sharp contrast, after a slight pause, the figure disappeared in place, directly into the ground, and then appeared in the Bagua City, the tall city wall and the formation of the city protector seemed to have lost its effect in front of this black shadow!
The black shadow target is very clear, go straight to the Shaoyin Building, after a while, the figure of the Shaoyin Building appeared in front of him, as concocted, the black shadow escaped into the ground again, and once again skillfully avoided the layers of defense of the Shaoyin Building, a stick of incense was not enough, the black shadow retreated from the Shaoyin Building, and disappeared into the endless darkness!
A touch of red on the horizon heralded the rising of the sun, the first time the sun sprinkled all over the earth, illuminating the Shaoyin Building, a girl in her early teens, dressed in white, with a red face and white teeth, looked very exquisite, as usual, came to the Lingque Hall on the tenth floor of the Shaoyin Building, standing respectfully in front of a heavy door, waiting for the call.
Time flies, the sun is high at this moment, and the girl mutters in her heart: What is going on with Shizun today, in the usual days, I would have already gone to Shaoyang Building to discuss with Shibo, why is it so late today, and you don't summon me, is Shizun also sleeping.
"Bah, how can Shizun be the same as me!" The girl denied what she thought for the first time, as time went by, the girl was a little anxious, and after thinking about it again, she made a decision, and said respectfully: "Master, I have to discuss with my uncle today, and Jing'er will wait for your old man to change clothes." ”
After a long time, there was still no movement in the Lingque Palace, and the girl named Jing'er recounted it again, but it was still sinking into the sea, and no one answered!
At this time, a strong wind blew from there, and the heavy gate opened in response, and the opportunity was rare, the girl cleared her throat and said, "Master, Jing'er will go in and say hello to you." ”
"Ah, Master..."Jing'er's scream cut through this quiet morning, and also broke the tranquility of Qiankun Tower.
Half an hour later, Shaoyin Building was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, heavily guarded, an old man with crane hair and a childish face, with a serious expression, entered the Lingque Hall of Shaoyin Building, this person is the current owner of Qiankun Building: Zhongli!
Looking up, in the Lingque Palace, the disciples on the two floors of Shaoyin and Shaoyang gathered together, and saw that Yi Shaoyue, the head of Shaoyin Building, was lying on the bed in the inner room, looking very peaceful!
"Jing Xuan, the Spirit Magpie Hall has found an abnormality. Zhongli's question broke the depression in the Spirit Magpie Palace.
"Returning to the senior uncle, Jing Xuan has led the junior sisters to carefully inspect it, and he has not let go of any clues, all the items in the Lingque Hall have not changed, and there is no trace of a fight. The reply was a young woman dressed in white, named Bai Jingxuan, the eldest disciple of Nai Yi Shaoyue, twenty-nine years old this year, not only beautiful as a flower, but also with good talent, and her cultivation was already in the realm of the Four Heavens.
"Very good, well done, how is Jing'er. Zhongli continued to ask.
"Still unconscious. Bai Jingxuan told the truth.
Zhong Lili pointed at Jing'er, who had collapsed to the ground, and said, "Jingxuan, help Jing'er up!"
Hearing this, Bai Jingxuan didn't say too much, and took advantage of the situation to help Jing'er up, and Zhongli took three steps and made two steps, walked directly in front of Jing'er, and gently placed his right hand on Jing'er's forehead, at the same time, a peaceful Yuan Force entered Jing'er's body, and soon Jing'er regained consciousness.
"Jing'er, tell the truth about what you have seen and heard, and don't let go of any details. Zhongli's inquiry had no effect on Jing'er, who was overly frightened, and she was still slumped on the ground like that.
"Jing'er, why are you stunned, Uncle Shi asked you!" Bai Jingxuan hurriedly pushed Jing'er, and Jing'er regained her senses.
Jing'er came back to her senses, her tone was very unstable, and she said, "Uncle Shi, Shizun's death is unclear, we must avenge Shizun." ”
"Jing'er, I can understand your feelings, but impulsiveness can't solve any problems, repeat your experience to me. Zhongli said patiently.
After stabilizing her mind, Jing'er told her what had just happened one by one.
"According to what you said, you waited outside the door for a long time, but you never saw your sister reply, and when you entered the door, you found that your sister had already died of anger. Zhongli summed up the key points of what Jing'er said.
Hearing this, Jing'er nodded, and her emotions were released again, and she said, "Please also ask Uncle Shi to avenge Shizun. Jing'er's plea resonated with the other disciples of Shaoyin Building, and they all knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The sudden death of the master is to dig three feet into the ground, and the murderer must be brought to justice." ”
Zhongli understood the mood of everyone in Shaoyin Building very well, picked up Bai Jingxuan, who was kneeling closest to him, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, since someone dares to break ground on our Qiankun Tower, there will definitely be no good end, everyone get up first, the top priority, or deal with the aftermath of the junior sister first, this is the top priority." ”
With that said, everyone got up from the ground, but the mood was still very low.
Zhong Li continued: "Jing Xuan, as your senior sister's eldest disciple, Shaoyin Mansion is temporarily in charge of you, and you will definitely inherit your junior sister's will and take care of your junior sister. ”
"Uncle, the disciple must not dishonor the teacher's life. Bai Jingxuan's eyes were full of determination.
"Okay, very good, don't go to the hard work of the junior sister, there is one more thing, inform the senior sister of the Seven Stars Vision, Yi Youyue, after all, it is your master's own sister. ”
"The number of courtesies that should be there, Jing Xuan has his own measure. ”
In the Kunli Hall on the tenth floor of Shaoyang Building, Zhongli was closing his eyes to recuperate, what happened that day was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Qiankun Building, the dignified second master was actually taken under his nose, Zhongli felt more and more that Yi Shaoyue's bizarre death would definitely not be so simple, and there should be a mastermind behind the scenes.
"Father, Zhong Shu has come to greet you. Outside the hall, a steady voice interrupted Zhongli's thoughts.
Zhongli slowly opened his eyes and said a little tiredly, "Come in." ”
Zhongshu is not only Zhongli's son, but also Zhongli's eldest disciple, and his performance is very good in all aspects, Zhongli intends to cultivate Zhongshu, intending to let him succeed the next landlord.
When a middle-aged man in his early thirties appeared in front of Zhongli, he was the first to ask, "What did you find?" ”
Zhong Shu didn't answer directly, but walked to Zhongli's entrance, filled the teapot on the table, handed it to Zhongli, and said, "Father, you haven't slept all night, drink a cup of tea, go to the fire." ”
When Zhongli heard this, he suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, and said kindly: "I have a heart." Then he drank it all.
Immediately afterwards, Zhong Shu reported the results of the day in great detail.
Since the incident of Yi Shaoyue, Zhong Shu immediately imposed martial law on the entire Bagua City, interrogated suspicious people, etc., and then asked Yi Shaoyue to carefully inspect Yi Shaoyue's body, and concluded that Yi Shaoyue was killed by someone with a sword, and Yi Shaoyue did not resist at all, the murderer either cultivated to be a grade higher than Yi Shaoyue, or was familiar with Yi Shaoyue, and was unprepared for attack, and at the same time, Yi Shaoyue did not have other symptoms of poisoning, therefore, it can be concluded that the murderer's cultivation is at least equal to Yi Shaoyue, and he is in the realm of the consummation of the six heavens.
After listening to Zhong Shu's report, Zhong Li let out a sigh of relief and said, "Lifting martial law, not only will it have no effect, but it will also bring unnecessary trouble to Bagua City." ”
"That's what I mean, father, what to do next, please make it clear. Zhong Shu asked.
Zhong Li thought about it for a moment and said: "Your uncle's unfortunate death is not only a major event in our Qiankun Building, but also a major event in the whole world. ”
"Father, rest assured, the child is ready. ”
"And during the funeral, my Bagua City is unguarded, and everyone in the world is welcome to come and worship. Zhongli added.
As soon as he heard this, Zhong Shu immediately understood Zhongli's intentions and said, "It's still the father who is smart, and the child will do it." ”
Under the cover of night, more than a dozen carrier pigeons flew out of the Bagua City, and it won't be long before the murder of Yi Shaoyue will be known to everyone, and at that time, I don't know what kind of meeting will be.
In the hall of the Seven Stars Viewing Heaven Spiral Department, Yi Youyue had just finished settling down, and before she had time to breathe, she only heard a "bang", and an emerald green jade bracelet on Yi Youyue's wrist turned into countless pieces.
Yi Youyue's expression tightened, she hurriedly stood up, and said to herself: "Shaoyue, did you encounter something wrong." Then he left the Celestial Spiral and walked in the direction of the Celestial Pivot.
In the main hall of the Heavenly Pivot Department, seeing Yi Youyue's demeanor, Li Taixuan asked with concern: "Senior sister, what happened to make you like this." ”
"Senior brother, my sister seems to have had an accident. ”
"Ah, what, that's true!" Li Taixuan was startled at first, and then continued: Since you feel like this, why don't you go to Qiankun Tower in person. ”
"Thank you for your understanding, I also have this intention, and I have come to say goodbye to my brother. ”
"Senior sister, I told you a long time ago, you don't need to come here for this kind of trivial matter, you just have to call the shots!"
Yi Youyue replied: "Senior brother's kindness, senior sister understands it, but the rules are the rules, and they must not be broken." ”
"Okay, Senior Sister went to Qiankun Tower this time to say hello to Senior Brother Zhongli for me. ”
"Please rest assured, senior sister, junior sister will go and come back quickly. ”
In the main hall of the Tianxuan Ministry, Yi Youyue had just returned from the Tianxuan Ministry, sitting quietly on the main seat, as if waiting for someone!
I only heard a voice from outside the door: "Master, Xuan Xue came to say goodbye." ”
"Come in. ”
Yi Youyue glanced at Xuan Xue and said, "Clean up, and go to Qiankun Tower with your teacher tomorrow." ”
Although she was a little surprised, Xuan Xue did not hesitate and said, "The disciple obeys the master's orders. ”
"You step back first, there are still things to deal with for the teacher, and you will leave early tomorrow morning!"
Xuan Xue respectfully finished saluting and left the main hall of the Tianxuan Ministry, leaving only Yi Youyue's lonely figure, and unconsciously a deep memory appeared in Yi Youyue's mind.
It was a spring many years ago, in the southwest of the mainland in Luoma Town, two twin sisters were born in the full warehouse grain store, the full warehouse grain line is one of the three major grain stores in the world, controlling the southwest and northwest grain and oil markets of the mainland, is a rich and noble family, the big shopkeeper of the full warehouse grain store Yi Zhongchao, is a good person, good friends, old and good, good mood, Daqing three days and three nights, and at the same time named the twin sisters Yi Youyue and Yi Shaoyue.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, when the twin sisters were three years old, Yi Zhongchao went out once, suddenly fell ill, and soon died, leaving orphans and widows to depend on each other, to add insult to injury, the big housekeeper of the full warehouse grain store slowly controlled the power, and soon drove the mother and daughter out of the house, leaving them to fend for themselves, the mother could not bear the sudden changes, chose to commit suicide, hastily ended the good years, since then the two brothers and sisters, dependent on each other, wandering the rivers and lakes.
Maybe it's the mercy of God, or maybe it's the luck of the two sisters, when they were dying, the brother and sister met a nobleman, the Lord of the Seven Stars and the owner of the Qiankun Building, and the fate of the two changed, from an ordinary wanderer, to a cultivator.
Thinking of this, Yi Youyue sighed: Sister, you must be safe!
