Yang Guo stood up, looked at Yin Zhiping's corpse and said: "It was not my intention to kill you, but as the saying goes, 'the dragon has reverse scales, and if you touch it, you will die; the wolf will stab you secretly, and if you peep at it, you will be killed', who let you touch my taboo? There are too few people in this world who treat me sincerely, and I will never allow anyone to hurt them, even if they only have ideas, because I can't afford to lose!"

He unfolded the gift note that Yin Zhiping had given him earlier, with the words "Congratulations to the Dragon Girl Fangchen" on it, and signed it "Chongyang Palace Yin Zhiping Respectfully".

"It's rare that you still remember that it will be your aunt's birthday in a few days, but you have a heart, but the more you are so thoughtful, the more I will kill you, you are in a high position in the Quanzhen Sect, and you are the future head of the family, why not be your Taoist priest?" Yang Guo closed the gift note in his hand, smashed it in the blink of an eye, lifted it into the air, and then floated away with the wind.

He walked away from the place, cleaned his footprints again on the way back to the tomb, and then made a few more big turns, feeling that no one should be able to follow the trace, before he walked towards the tomb.

As he walked, he sorted everything out in his head.

Although he has the strength to kill both Yin and Zhao, but a series of extremely serious aftermaths will be extremely unfavorable to him, as the so-called "gentlemen do not stand under the wall", he has not achieved great success at this time, and it is not appropriate to make enemies in many ways, and let Zhao Zhijing go, it is mostly out of this concern. Of course, there is another benefit to keeping Zhao Zhijing alive, that is, the crime of killing Yin Zhiping, which will be borne by Zhao Zhijing for him.

"If Zhao Zhijing is a smart person, he will never leave here, otherwise although the world is big, it will be difficult for him to have a place, but if he returns to the Quanzhen Sect, he will not dare to speak out about this matter, because once confronted, his suspicion will be far greater than mine. So, should I take the initiative to expose Zhao Zhijing's murder?" Yang Guo thought for a while, and shook his head again, "Forget it, this move is a bit risky, maybe it will trap me in it, and I will be embarrassed in vain, and I can slow down to deal with that Zhao Zhijing, as long as this matter does not involve me, why should I be in a hurry?"

After he had sorted everything out thoroughly, he felt that there was no flaw left, so he stopped worrying about the matter and strode towards the ancient tomb.

A day later, the Quanzhen Sect Chongyang Palace Hall.

Ma Yu, Liu Chuxuan, Qiu Chuji, Wang Chuyi, Hao Datong and Sun Buer, all six of them had gloomy faces and anger in their eyes.

"It's been twenty years, since Senior Brother Tan was killed, this is another misfortune for our Quanzhen Sect, Zhiping, this kid has outstanding martial arts and conduct, and is our internal successor, but I don't want to suffer this calamity, I know everyone is very heartbroken, but the first priority at the moment is to find the murderer, so we still have to suppress our emotions and talk about our own opinions. Ma Yu, as the head of the house and the elder brother of everyone, was the first to speak.

"Who first discovered Zhiping's body?" asked Wang Chuyi.

"It was my eldest disciple Li Zhichang who found out, he and Zhiping have always been close, seeing that Zhiping did not return overnight for no reason, and today he was nowhere to be seen, and he knew that there was something wrong, so he asked people to investigate the situation, he learned from a fourth-generation disciple that Zhiping left the direction, so he sent someone to find out, who knew that when Zhiping was found, it was too late. Qiu Chuji said gloomily.

"Were there any people with him when Zhiping left?" asked Wang Chuyi again.

"According to the fourth-generation disciple, Zhiping left alone. Qiu replied.

"In this way, it should be that the murderer made an appointment with Zhiping to meet, so Zhiping will go, otherwise the place where the incident happened is extremely remote, and Zhiping has no reason to go to that place for no reason. Wang Chuyi said.

"I carefully examined the scene, and there were three people's footprints, which should have been left by the three of them when they were fighting. Qiu Chuji said.

"There was only one wound on Zhiping's body, which was pierced through the chest with a sword, and I guess that the murderer must have had extremely high martial arts skills to be able to kill him with such a blow. Hao Datong said.

"But Senior Brother Qiu said that there were three people's footprints at the scene, so the murderer was two, according to this speculation, the murderer alone should not be sure to deal with Zhiping, and the martial arts should not be much higher than Zhiping, but since Zhiping did not notify us in advance, it means that the person who asked him should not be an enemy in his opinion, but why did they fight again in the end, I am difficult to guess. Wang Chuyi said.

"I found these scraps of paper on the ground, but most of them had been blown away by the wind, and all I could see was the writing on them. Qiu Chuji stretched out his palm, and on his palm were more than a dozen small pieces of red paper, as well as several pieces of white paper, on which dots of ink could be seen.

"Could it be that Zhiping discovered some secret of the murderer, and these pieces of paper are the evidence, so the murderer killed Zhiping?" asked Sun Buji.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded slightly.

Qiu Chuji said suspiciously: "But over the years, Zhiping has spent most of his time practicing martial arts and cultivating in the mountains, although he has also gone down the mountain many times to do business, but I have never heard that he has had close contacts with outsiders, where to find this murderer?"

"Then we will first send someone down the mountain to find out the news, to see if there are any people in the rivers and lakes who have appeared nearby recently, and I will repair a book, so that Jing'er will send beggars to help people find suspicious people and see if they will find anything." Ma Yu made a decision on this matter, and said: "Now I will mourn and mourn for Zhiping with the specifications of the master!"

Yang Guo waited for a few days, and saw that the Quanzhen Sect did not send anyone to come, so he knew that Zhao Zhijing must have concealed the matter, and he wanted to secretly go to the Quanzhen Sect to find out, but he was worried that he would arouse suspicion after being discovered, so he had to give up.

A few days later, the birthday of the little dragon girl arrived, and the ancient tomb could not be celebrated, and the little dragon girl would not like it, so Yang Guo cooked by himself and made a bowl of longevity noodles for the little dragon girl, and Grandma Sun made some exquisite side dishes and pastries, and the three of them enjoyed a warm little feast.

After the first volume of the "Jiuyang Sutra" was practiced, Yang Guo began to practice the second volume, these four volumes of the Sutra, the more he practiced to the back, the more difficult and profound it was, and the slower the progress, the first volume he spent three months to practice, but the second volume he practiced for five months without competing for the whole effort, but he had already expected in his heart that at most another month, he would be able to end the practice of the second volume.

On this day, someone asked to see him outside the tomb, Yang Guo came out of the forest to take a look, and saw that it was Cui Zhifang, a disciple of the Wang's department, and couldn't help but think: "After five months, could it be that Zhao Zhijing revealed the matter?" But he thought again: "If it is for Yin Zhiping, he should not be the only one." Then he said: "Daoist Cui, I don't know what you came here today?"

Cui Zhifang looked at Yang Guo carefully, and saw that he was handsome, chic, and not inferior to himself, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said with emotion: "I haven't seen you for a few years, I don't want you to have grown up." ”

Although Yang Guo did not have much contact with Cui Zhifang, because Cui Zhifang had a helping hand with him back then, he had a good impression of him, and replied after hearing the words: "The Taoist chief still has the same demeanor, and his face has not changed at all. ”

Cui Zhifang laughed and said, "You have grown up, and your ability to speak flatteringly has also increased." ”

Yang Guo saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and he couldn't help but ask, "I have formed such a big holiday with your sect, why do you seem to not mind at all?"

Cui Zhifang said: "Uncle Zhang, they treat you as a strict father, and they don't allow you to admit a traitor as a father, but from my point of view, there is a wrongdoer, a debtor, and the great enemy of our Quanzhen Sect is that Ouyang Feng, but there is no direct hatred with you, why should I mind?"

Yang Guo sighed: "It's a pity that there are not many people in your sect who think like the Taoist Master, and it is estimated that more people are thinking about how to capture me back so that I can make a great contribution." ”

Cui Zhifang said: "Don't mention it, this time I came, I have something to inform you." A month later, a hero's banquet will be held in Dashengguan, and your uncle Guo has sent a hero's post, inviting a few real people to go, and attaching a letter, asking about your situation, and asking a few real people to take you with you. However, you should know that according to the current situation, it is impossible to take you with you, but since your Uncle Guo sent you to our Quanzhen Sect, he must also give an explanation to him no matter what, so whether to go or not is all up to you. I've already brought the words, so I won't say more. Then he turned and left.

Yang Guo muttered, "Heroic Banquet?" He read it a few times, and suddenly remembered something, and his face couldn't help but change, and he exclaimed: "Oops! How could I have forgotten about this? If it hadn't been for the Quanzhen Sect to inform me, I would have almost missed a big incident!"

In the afternoon, Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo practiced swordsmanship as usual, at this time, Yang Guo's internal strength had doubled compared to a few months ago, and had already surpassed Xiaolongnu, between one move and one style, they all had great power, but when the two practiced swords, Yang Guo was still based on sword moves, and was not suppressed by internal force, so it was still slightly inferior to Xiaolongnu's fast sword.

The two of them fought quickly, and after seven or eight moves, Xiaolongnu stabbed Yang Guo in the right shoulder with a sword, then put away the sword and stood up, asking, "Why can't you concentrate on your energy?"

The swords held by the two of them are bladeless, and the stabbing on the body is only painful, and it will not hurt anyone.

"Auntie, Uncle Guo has a letter and wants me to go for a while. Yang Guo was silent for a moment, and finally decided not to hide it anymore and made his words clear.

The little dragon girl asked, "Do you want to go?"

Yang Guo hesitated, nodded, and said, "In addition, I have never heard of my father-in-law, and I want to find out the whereabouts of my father-in-law this time." ”

Regarding his relationship with Ouyang Feng, Yang had already told Xiaolongnu the truth, and after Xiaolongnu knew about it, she didn't distance herself from him, and treated him as usual.

The little dragon girl said, "If you want to go, you can go." ”

Yang Guo was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "But I promised my aunt when I was apprenticing......"

Xiaolongnu shook her head slightly and said, "Now that your martial arts have surpassed me, it is not considered a violation of the agreed conditions." ”

Yang Guo saw that the worries in his heart were solved so easily, and at the same time, his heart was relieved, but he felt inexplicably lost, and after a while, he asked, "Auntie, will you go down the mountain with me?"

The little dragon girl shook her head and said, "I will always stay in the tomb." ”

Yang Guo looked at her beautiful and peerless face, and an impulse suddenly surged in his heart, and he wanted to say his thoughts out loud, but he opened his mouth several times, but it was difficult to speak, and finally he had to let out a long sigh.
