Chapter Seventy-One: Murder with a Knife
When Lu Fan knew that the people of the Ethereal Sect had not taken the fat man away, he already felt that something was wrong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's obviously a gesture, but it's a push, which is like the bearing of a big sect.
Then, when it was time to know that the Ascending Dragon Talisman existed, the feeling that something was wrong was even stronger.
This thing is not something that a fat man can keep at all, it is simply a barrel of explosives, and he can be blown to pieces if he is not careful!
If you let the people outside know that the fat man actually has a dragon talisman in his hand, then the person who hears the wind will tear him to pieces!
You must know that in Qingyang City, except for a small number of original residents, most of the people come here from other places to beg for a living.
It can be said that although these people's cultivation is not high, most of them are junior martial cultivators, but they are all outlaws.
Such a group of people, for the sake of profit, can do anything, and the Ascending Dragon Talisman is simply a piece of naked fat, and no one can resist such a temptation.
At that time, even if the fat man hides in the academy, it will be useless, there are many people who dare to take risks, not to mention, at that time, I am afraid that even the academy itself will not stand on the side of the fat man, because the dragon talisman is also a temptation for them!
The actions of the Ethereal Sect and the others were not like they were for the good of the fat man, but more like pushing him into the fire pit and putting him to death.
What was their purpose? Lu Fan couldn't figure this out at first.
Then when he knew that the existence of the Ascending Dragon Talisman had actually been leaked out, Lu Fan suddenly had a bad guess, so he asked what kind of sect the Ethereal Sect was.
As a result, after listening to Duanmu Xue and Zhao Xingjian's descriptions, Lu Fan knew that he was afraid that things were really as he guessed.
The people of the Ethereal Sect didn't have a good heart at all for the fat man of the Ascending Dragon Talisman, and their main purpose was probably to use this Ascending Dragon Talisman to borrow a knife to kill people!
The one who wants to kill is the fat man, and this knife, of course, is all the people in Qingyang City who covet the Ascending Dragon Talisman.
After coming to this conclusion, Lu Fan felt a chill in his heart, although there are too conspiracy theories in this, but it is not unfounded.
First of all, the fat man said that the existence of the Ascending Dragon Talisman was only known to him and the people of the Ethereal Sect, and other than that, he had not told anyone.
But now there is a third party who knows, and it is obvious that one of them has leaked the secret.
Of course, there is also a possibility, that is, when the people of the Ethereal Sect handed over the Ascending Dragon Talisman to the fat man, they happened to be seen, but this is unlikely, as a person from the super sect, the strength will be extremely strong, and I am afraid that no one in Qingyang City can hide their induction.
As for why the people of the Ethereal Sect did this, Lu Fan also had a guess, and the problem probably lay in the cultivation methods of the Ethereal Sect itself.
Cold, special physique, mental requirements, not asking about the world, listening to these descriptions, Lu Fan can guess with his toes that this bullshit ethereal sect's cultivation is probably the kind of road that is high up, pays attention to cutting off the red dust and cares, and has no worries.
As a core disciple, Xiao Ling's cultivation is bound to be the core practice of the Ethereal Sect, and the level of heart will become particularly important.
And the one who can affect Xiaoling's mood the most is undoubtedly the fat man, so in order to make her feel free of obstacles, the existence of the fat man is a big obstacle and must be removed!
As for why they resorted to killing people with knives, and waited for so long for them to be gone, the news was leaked out?
Of course, this is to avoid suspicion and clear up their relationship, after all, if Xiaoling knows the truth, they will lose a hard-won core heir.
And if the fat man has an accident after they have been gone for more than a month, then the matter has nothing to do with them at all, even if Xiaoling comes back to verify when her strength is strong, the most she will get is just the result of the fat man's own accidental exposure.
It's a good calculation, Lu Fan sneered.
When he told his guess, everyone was stunned and couldn't believe it.
The fat man stammered and said, "No, it's impossible, they all say that the Ethereal Sect is sent by the Righteous Path Sect, how can it be so despicable and insidious?"
"Righteous Dao Sect, are you wrong, for these big forces, there is no righteous path and demon path in this world, some are just interests, they are the real cannibalism without spitting out bones, for the sake of interests, they can do anything!" Lu Fan sneered.
The fat man was dumbfounded, his mind was greatly impacted, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"I'll admit you have some point. Zhao Xingjian said, "But there is a question, the people of the Ethereal Sect have been away for so long, how did they calculate the time to let the news be exposed, you must know that they have no foundation in Qingyang City, if they let Wu Xiu know in advance, who can guarantee that they can really endure until that time?"
"This is not simple, I can think of several methods, the most simple and effective, aren't there many little beggars in the city, as long as they give them some money, and then threaten them with force, don't they just obey their words?
After that, it would be easy to let them spread the news regularly, anyway, these little beggars didn't understand what the Ascending Dragon Talisman was, and they wouldn't be as greedy as Wu Xiu. ”
Zhao Xingjian was speechless, this is indeed a very good way.
"But now no one can confirm whether what you said is true or false, what if someone else really accidentally discovered the Ascending Dragon Talisman?" Duanmu Xue still didn't believe it.
"The possibility of this in case is too small, I think the time they originally planned to let the news break out is just these two days, fatty, when did those people first find you just now?" Lu Fan suddenly asked.
The fat man was still shocked at this time, but he still replied: "Just yesterday, they suddenly found me, and asked if the dragon talisman was with me, I was very surprised at the time, and denied it, but they did not believe it, so they offered to buy it for a hundred taels of silver, but I did not agree, and then they threatened to give me a night to think about it." ”
"Look. Lu Fa spread his hands, "I guess the second son didn't know where to get the news, but he wasn't sure, so he sent someone to deceive the fat man, but the fat man didn't hide it well, and he was seen to have clues." ”
"Then why didn't they grab it on the spot?" asked Duanmu Xue.
"Two factors, one is scruples, after all, this is a school, it is not good to do it openly, and Xiao Ling is now the core disciple of the Ethereal Sect, if she hurts the fat man, no one can afford to settle accounts in the future.
The second is that he is lucky, the fat man is just a small handyman, and he must not realize the true value of the Shenglong Fu, in case he is greedy for silver and sells the Shenglong Fu, then he will make money, and even if Xiaoling asks for guilt, there will be enough reasons. ”
"Then if others also have scruples and don't dare to hurt the fat man, won't the intention of the Ethereal Sect not be achieved?" asked Mi Kejiao, who had been keeping a surprised face at this time.
"That's why it's going to be messy, the more the news spreads, the better, as long as it's messy, who cares about the fat man's life, anyway, I don't know what to do, and when Xiaoling comes back from cultivation, the truth of the matter has long been rendered beyond recognition.
If I'm not mistaken, it's already starting to be lively outside, and it is estimated that the fat man has the dragon talisman in his hand and has spread all over Qingyang City.
If that's the case, then what I'm saying is basically true. ”
"I'll go out and find out the news!" Zhao Xingjian suddenly got up and walked out.
"I'll go too, I'll go!"
Mi Ke also ran out, she felt very excited, Lu Fan's analysis made her feel incredible, how could someone deduce a big conspiracy with just such a little information, so she wanted to confirm it herself.
When the two went out to verify, there was silence in the room, and the fat man looked annoyed.
He wasn't worried about his own safety, but he was annoyed that if the Ethereal Sect was really such a sect, wouldn't he push Xiao Ling into the fire pit!
Seeing him like this, Lu Fan comforted him: "Fat man, you don't have to be like this, it's just my guess now, even if things are really like this, Xiao Ling will be fine, the Ethereal Sect will also be very good to her, at most, cultivation will make her personality change a little." ”
"But is that Xiao Ling still the same Xiao Ling?" The fat man thought of the cold appearance of the Qinglian Fairy, why didn't he think of this layer at that time, and thought that her nature was like this.
Lu Fan didn't know what to say, he knew that after some exercises were cultivated, they could completely change a person's character, and I hope Xiao Ling's would not be like this.
After a while, Zhao Xingjian and Mi Ke came back, with shock and incredulity on their faces, and after they came in, they all looked at Lu Fan with complicated expressions.
"It has been confirmed, and now the entire Qingyang City is going crazy, and a fat handyman in the academy has a dragon rising talisman in his hand!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the people in the room were different, Duanmu Xue, Milan and Rock were in disbelief, the fat man's face turned pale, and Lu Fan sneered again and again.
