Chapter 84 A Thousand Thoughts of a Wise Man
This is an elegant pavilion, and an old man with white hair and silver beard is sitting cross-legged on the bed, closing his eyes and resting his mind. This person was none other than the Divine Heaven Sect Qi Sect Elder, Bai Qing. The four elders of the Shenxiao Sect are in charge of the four sects of Qi and Jin, and they are in charge of the twenty-four pavilions, and Bai Qing, as the elder of the qi sect, is in charge of the eight pavilions. Back then, the name 'Bai Qing' was also awe-inspiring to the people in the rivers and lakes, but Bai Qing had not set foot in the rivers and lakes for thirty years, and the name Bai Qing was gradually forgotten by the people in the rivers and lakes. Now he is indeed just a Dharma Protector Elder in the Shenxiao Sect.
"Buckle, buckleβ" There was a knock outside the door. Bai Qing's closed eyes were slightly opened, the half-hidden door was pushed open slightly, and then an arm reached out of the door, dangling a gourd in his hand.
"What's the matter?" the Qi Sect Elder asked in a deep voice.
A head poked out of the door, and it was Bai Juyi. Bai Juyi raised a peach blossom face and said with a smile: "Old man, I have good wine here, do you want to drink some of it?"
A deep smile tugged at the corner of the Qi Sect Elder's mouth.
The two sat on the ground, and Bai Juyi poured a full bowl of wine for the Qi Sect Elder.
The Qi Sect Elder put the wine to his lips and said, "How can you be in such a good mood today, you won't really just ask my old man to drink, right?"
"The apprentice's good wine, of course, is here to honor the master. Bai Juyi said with a grin.
A smile tugged at the corner of the Qi Sect Elder's mouth and took a sip of wine.
In the Shenxiao Sect, how the elders of the Qi Sect spoiled him, the proud disciple Bai Juyi, this is obvious to all the people in the Shenxiao Sect, otherwise, if Bai Juyi is a fool in the Shenxiao Sect, he will not suffer severe punishment, but he will be driven out of the mountain gate. But everyone has to say that if Bai Juyi gets serious, his means are indeed powerful, so there is a saying in the Shenxiao faction, I would rather offend Han Zheng than offend Bai Juyi, Han Zheng is in charge of the Discipline Pavilion, which is notoriously strict, but if he commits a crime in front of Han Zheng, at most he will be reprimanded, but if it is Bai Juyi who is offended, he doesn't know what method he will use to rectify you, making you miserable and regretting being a man.
When the Elder of the Qi Sect accepted Bai Juyi as an apprentice, he was fifty years old and Bai Juyi was fifteen years old, but others would not believe it when he said it. When Bai Juyi was young, he was young and old, and he was calm, Bai Qing admired it very much, and Bai Qing would accept Bai Juyi as an apprentice, and there was a past when it came to it. Bai Qing had a lover when he was young, when he was young, Bai Qing went out to learn art, and there was no news for many years, the lover thought he was dead and married someone else, Bai Qing's lover was Bai Juyi's grandmother. Many years later, Bai Qing returned to his hometown, his lover had already passed away for a long time, and Bai Juyi's grandmother asked Bai Juyi to go to the Shenxiao School to learn art before she died, of course, why did she go to the Shenxiao School to learn art, the reason Bai Juyi didn't know, but Bai Qing was very clear, Bai Juyi's grandmother probably hoped that Bai Juyi would find him, but in this life, he was defeated by her after all. Bai Juyi is Bai Qing's grandson, Bai Juyi doesn't know this, and of course, Bai Qing doesn't plan to let him know.
The Qi Sect Elder put down the wine bowl and said, "Say, what are you looking for me today?"
"Master Moruo, who knows me, it's really something wrong for the apprentice to come to you. Bai Juyi said with a smile.
The Qi Sect Elder glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Cut! If it's okay, will you be thinking about my old bones?"
"Hehe-Master said with a smile-" Bai Juyi touched his nose, then sat up straight, and his expression became serious: "Master, do you think that this time Lin Zhao was poisoned, is Shaoying the murderer?"
"What do you think?" the Qi Sect Elder didn't answer, but asked him instead.
Bai Juyi frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I think the possibility of Shaoying is very small, he has no reason to kill Lin Zhao, and he is still in full view of the sword trial conference." If Lin Zhao were killed on the spot, what good would it do him?"
"What if Xiang Shaoying thought that Xiang Chengtian's attack on Chong'an had something to do with the Lin family? Maybe he killed the killer in order to avenge his parents?" said the Qi Sect elder slowly, pouring himself wine.
Bai Juyi's expression froze for a moment, and then immediately shook his head, "Impossible, the Shaoying I know is not such a person, in fact, when Xiang Chengtian was attacked, he encountered several waves of murderers, and I don't know who Xiang Chengtian died at, if Shaoying knew who Xiang Chengtian died at, he would not use such despicable means, but would duel openly." β
The Qi Sect Elder nodded and said, "I think so too, but it's just that it's useless for us to think so, and we have to believe it to others." Now everyone believes that Xiang Shaoying's suspicion is the greatest. β
Bai Juyi thought for a moment and said: " In fact, I think the murderer has such a purpose, he wants to kill three birds with one stone, one, he wants to really kill Lin Zhao, and then, he wants to blame Shaoying, Lin Zhaozhong is the Gong Eater and Rouge Blood, as long as he competes with Shaoying in the ring, as soon as he uses internal force, he will be poisoned, and the internal force will be devoured, at that time, Shaoying can easily kill him, but fortunately, Shaoying used the Longquan Sword at that time, and he was able to take the sword back, even if Shaoying had no intention of killing Lin Zhao, but Lin Zhao and he competed in the ring and died, it will be a fact that everyone witnesses, Shaoying still became a scapegoat, and third, he wants to damage the reputation of our Shenxiao faction, and Lin Zhao is in the Shenxiao faction, the Lin family will definitely not give up. β
While listening, the Qi Sect elder nodded appreciatively and said, "What you said makes sense, these are actually considered by me and the master, but I really can't guess who this person who wants to kill three birds with one stone." β
"That's why the boss handed over this matter to me to investigate. Bai Juyi said with a little headache, this matter is really tricky.
"You can start with the people around Lin Zhao, for example, Lin Zhao's personal attendant Lin An, this Lin An is really loyal to the Lord. Elder Qi Sect said with a half-squinted eye.
"Makes sense. Bai Juyi nodded, and was about to get up, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said: "Master, our Strange Medicine Pavilion obviously has Snow Lingzhi, why don't you tell the master, and ask Shaoying and Ruoyun to go to the Canglan Mountains to look for it?"
The Qi Sect Elder looked at him deeply, "The Snow Lingzhi of the Strange Medicine Pavilion is only a few decades, the rouge blood is extremely domineering, your ancestor Uncle has been poisoned quite deeply, and there are no hundreds of years of Snow Lingzhi, I'm afraid it can't be suppressed, of course, in fact, if it is a few decades of Snow Lingzhi, it can be good to eat a few more decades." β
"Then take a few more decades of snow lingzhi, you also-" Bai Juyi wondered.
"Aren't you investigating Lin Zhao's poisoning? Lin Zhao's poisoning, since it is related to Xiang Shaoying, I also want to know, who are those people who are worried about him, Xiang Shaoying has been in the Shenxiao faction for the past year, those people are helpless, so they have to take advantage of this Shenxiao faction's sword test conference to find fault, now we will let Xiang Shaoying get out of the Shenxiao faction, see if those people will stare at Xiang Shaoying, maybe they can lead Lin Zhao's poisoner." The Qi Sect Elder's calculating eyes revealed a sly smile like an old fox.
Bai Juyi was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Isn't Shaoying very dangerous at this time, how can you use Shaoying as bait?"
"Don't worry, I have sent Han Zheng to protect him secretly, and Xiang Shaoying will not be in any danger. "The Qi Sect Elder God said.
Bai Juyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"What kind of wine are yours, it's really exciting. Elder Qi Sect took another big sip, and he was speechless, Bai Qing could say that he drank more water than others, and now a lot of wine was as bland and tasteless as boiled water in his mouth, and he really hadn't drunk it for a long time if he had a good wine as mellow and rich as today.
"Really?" Bai Juyi said with a smile, but his eyes flashed with a wicked banter, "I released several centipedes caught in the back mountains and buried them in the ground for some days." β
"Poof-" The Qi Sect Elder squirted out a mouthful of wine.
Bai Juyi said solemnly: "What do you spray, you have drunk so much, what a waste it should be to squirt out this mouthful! I spent a lot of time making this pot of wine." β
The Qi Sect elder stretched out a finger and pointed at Bai Juyi tremblingly: "Centipede - is it poisonous?"
Bai Juyi's face was a little distressed, as if he was thinking about something: "I don't know, probably, probably, probably, right?"
"You-you-" Elder Qizong's hand trembled even more, "You unfilial disciple!" Then he kicked his legs, closed his eyes, and fell to the ground with a thud, he was dead!
"Hey, what are you pretending," Bai Juyi stretched out his hand and pushed the Qi Sect Elder, "The wine is not poisonous, this centipede wine is a great supplement." β
The elder of the Qi Sect opened his eyes and slowly got up, and said indignantly: "My master is really poisoned, and you, an unfilial disciple, are probably still the same as if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him." The Qi Sect elder glared at Bai Juyi fiercely, and finally gritted his teeth and scolded: "Unfilial disciple!"
The elder of the Qi Sect thought that he had sent Han Zheng to secretly protect Xiang Shaoying, and everything would be under control, but he forgot that a wise man would have a thousand worries, and he would make a mistake, he only thought that someone was worried about Xiang Shaoying, but he didn't expect that it was not just a group of people who were worried about Xiang Shaoying.
