Chapter 67: The Wind Rises
The mountain road from the Sorrow Mountain is part of the Sorrow Sect, and it is quite easy to walk, and many people do not feel very tired when they walk, because they have something in their hearts, their expressions are uncertain, their steps are hurried, and the team that stretches far away is silent, they all bow their heads and hurriedly go down the mountain, and the whole team only has the chaotic sound of footsteps one after another, and the footsteps also seem to be a little unusually tense and dull.
After walking for a long time, these many people passed through the tall and simple mountain gate of the Liwu Sect, walked out of the range of the Liwu Sect, and came to the vast Liwu Mountain.
The mountain road here is obviously not repaired, the mountain road is rugged, because of a rain last night, today's sun exposure, in an instant the muddy loess was evaporated and watered, left on the ground potholes, bumps and bumps, or short or long cracks, looking at it from a distance, like the scars on the earth, shocking.
Zeng Ruijin and Chu Xiao glanced at each other, and Zeng Ruijin suddenly shouted violently: "Listen to the order, the fairy sword is unsheathed!"
The voice fell, all the disciples of Wangwu Feng and Mo Wei Feng present, except for Lin Yizhi, the rest of the people waited for each one to clear, and the fairy swords of various colors roared and trembled, and in an instant, in the middle of the air, the sword sound was dignified, and the color was shining.
But seeing that all the disciples looked awe-inspiring, they looked like they were facing a great enemy.
Only this wood-like Lin Yizhi stood there stupidly with his bare hands, not knowing what to do, it's not that he doesn't want to summon the sword, because his cultivation is unable to resist the sword, but the Silent Demon Heart can, but in front of so many people, where does he dare to show half a point.
In desperation, he only raised his fist, which can be regarded as his own fairy sword.
Seeing Lin Yizhi's stupid look, Lu Xiyue couldn't help but shake her head, and said softly: "Brother Yizhi, it's good for you to follow me, don't be so stupid!"
Lin Yizhi scratched his head, his face turned red, and he answered in a low voice.
At the moment, the air was tense, and others were still natural, only Beigong Boyu and Shangguan Qingliao were scared of the rat gall, Beigong Boyu's face was pale, his lips were dry, he screamed, jumped and ran back, and then ran and shouted: "Oh no, I was fooled, it turns out that you people from the Sorrow Sect deliberately brought us over, in order to kill people outside the scope of the Worry Sect, so that the gods don't know it!"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone with a clear eye was still calm, and some people who were confused, people who listened to and believed partially, had already changed their colors in fright, their legs trembled, and they almost fell to their knees and begged for mercy.
Chu Xiao shook his head angrily, and with an afterimage, he grabbed Beigong Boyu's clothes, and with a force, he lifted his whole person back to the team like a chicken.
Beigong Boyu was scurrying around with his own life, where did he ever think that Chu Xiao had this hand, and when he was picked up, he slashed his feet and shouted.
Chu Xiao's face turned cold, and he said coldly: "If you talk nonsense again, I cut your tongue, do you believe it or not!"
This time, Beigong Boyu was more obedient than anyone else, and he closed his mouth obediently, not daring to say a word.
It's just that even so, the mess broke down, and the team began to disperse.
Zeng Ruijin shook his head and said loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, I waited for the sword to come out, because I left the Worry Sect and lost the protection of the Worry Prohibition, and Ouyang Yue died last night, so the Sword of Honor is just in case, if any demon sect demon suddenly attacks, we can also take precautions as soon as possible, it is definitely not an ulterior motive, to kill people and kill people." When you enter me to leave my worries, I am afraid that you are also convinced of the righteousness of my Freedom from Worries Sect!"
Although there were not many words, the words were to the point, and the panicked team fell silent again.
Zeng Ruijin shook his head, with a helpless face, and said secretly in his heart: Among the disciples of this class, except for that Nalan Mingxuan's, the others are all so straw bags, it seems that the hope of the master is about to be disappointed.
Sorting out their emotions and stepping away first, everyone regained their calm and continued to hurry. The atmosphere returned to its quiet in an instant.
After walking for a while, I saw a yellow figure lying face down in the cracked dry soil from a distance.
Involuntarily, everyone's pace quickened at the same time.
As the vague yellow figure gradually became clear in front of him, Chu Xiao's mind began to be nervous for no reason, he didn't know what was waiting for him? Maybe it was a game, but in the face of the unknown, whether he would retreat or be wiped out, everything, it was difficult to know.
Closer, that yellow figure, everyone can be sure from the outline that it must be Ouyang Yue himself, but everyone didn't expect that this misbehaving, typical gentleman, can become the focus of everyone not only when he is alive, but also when he dies.
finally came to the man in yellow who was lying on his stomach. Chu Xiao jumped forward with a flying body, and the hand that touched this person trembled slightly, but he still mustered up the courage to turn this person over.
The pale face, which had long been soaked by the rain, still had half of the dried dirt on the face, and the eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something terrible and unbelievable, and the black and purple mouth was very large, and he spit out a long tongue, and the tongue was also dirt. The face is distorted, the facial features are shifted, and the appearance of death really makes people feel unwarranted fear.
It's just that it is not difficult to see from this distorted facial features that this lifeless corpse is indeed Ouyang Yue.
Chu Xiao's two fingers moved lightly, gently slashed through Ouyang Yue's neck, stopped at the Adam's apple, and gently moved Ouyang Yue's neck, but saw that the head on the neck seemed to be swaying softly back and forth like a rattle with Chu Xiao's plucking. It is not difficult for Chu Xiao to find that there are several deep dredging marks on his neck, which is even more shocking.
Lin Yizhi, who was standing on the side, looked at it, and only felt that Ouyang Yue's head seemed to be separated from his neck, like dead branches and leaves, and his hideous face made people feel miserable for no reason.
Chu Xiao slowly put Ouyang Yue's body to the ground, then slowly got up, turned his back to everyone, and was silent for a long time.
Everyone couldn't see his expression, and they didn't know what the young man in white was thinking now, but looking at the fluttering back of the white-clothed man, suddenly everyone's eyes were a little more sympathetic.
Is it really him? Everyone couldn't help but think about it. Even Chu Xiao also had these questions, looking at this situation, Ouyang Yue must have been killed by a blow, and it was not difficult to see how frightened and unbelievable the scene he saw before he died.
But in the scene, there are probably only three people who can kill him with one blow: Zeng Ruijin, Bai Limu and himself.
He himself is definitely not a murderer, so what about the remaining two people? the loyal and introverted Zeng Ruijin? the indifferent and dashing Bai Limu? Suspecting that any one person is not Chu Xiao's intention, rather than doubting them, it is better to admit it yourself!
Suddenly, Chu Xiao said slowly: "Being pinched by the neck, the throat and trachea were cut under one blow, and he was killed immediately, looking at the murderer's cultivation is much higher than Ouyang Yue." ”
When everyone heard this, they all began to whisper earnestly.
Chu Xiao turned around violently and asked Xiao Gangyan and Duan Langkun, "It's just that why do you say that I am a murderer, and where is the evidence?"
Xiao Gangyan didn't speak, and Duan Langkun pointed to the big stone next to Ouyang Yue's corpse with an innocent expression.
The crowd followed his direction.
The boulder is extremely smooth, there are no potholes and bumps, I am afraid that it has existed here for many years and has been washed by the rain. However, in the middle of the big stone, there was a deep mark, which was three points into the stone, like a beautiful woman's smooth and delicate face suddenly being roughly scratched with several deep scars.
It's just that what is even more unexpected than this trace is that this trace turned out to be a big character that everyone can see clearly - the word "wood"!
This wooden character, stroke by stroke, like blood and tears, the pen and pen are shaking everyone's hearts. This wooden character is so shocking that it lies on this boulder, like a heavenly river that suddenly pours down above the nine heavens, wrapped in icy water, and submerged Chu Xiao's entire heart.
When Chu Xiao saw this scene, he realized why Xiao Gangyan and Duan Langkun would say that they were murderers, because of their Chu Xiao's Chu characters, when taken apart, the first word was a wooden character!
However, there are not only Chu Xiao who has wooden characters in this name, there are two other people in Mo Youfeng, one is Bai Limu, and the other is the youngest junior brother Lin Yizhi. With the addition of him Chu Xiao, the names of the three of them all have wooden characters.
The next moment, Chu Xiao was a little inexplicably angry, and when he saw a wooden character, he blamed himself vainly, which was too hasty, just by relying on this so-called wooden character in the stone, he doubted himself? What about Bai Limu? What about Lin Yizhi? If you look at the clues left by Ouyang Yue before his death, the two of them will not be able to escape their correction!
Chu Xiao slowly turned his head and glanced at Bai Limu and Lin Yizhi coldly. Bai Limu noticed his eyes, but he just smiled faintly, still indifferent.
The stupid Lin Yizhi was still at a loss, and he couldn't see why.
The next moment, Chu Xiao finally understood why they said that they were murderers, Xiao and Duan were from Mo Youfeng, and when they saw this wooden character, they naturally preconceived and concluded that their second senior brother and junior brother could not kill anyone, and it must be themselves.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiao was also relieved a lot, just looking at this wooden character and suddenly sneering, at first the voice was very small, and gradually the sneer became louder and louder, louder and louder, the laughter seeped into people's hair, and the expressions of Duan Langkun and Xiao Gangyan who were laughing began to gradually become unnatural.
After laughing for a long time, there was no hindrance, turned his head and strode towards Zeng Ruijin, five feet away from him, suddenly summoned the Asking Heart Sword, held it in his hand, and stroked it for a long time, his eyes were full of reluctance and tenderness. The Questioning Sword trembled slightly, and the whole body exuded a soft white light, feeling the sorrow in the master's heart, and gently screaming, as if to comfort the master's heart.
The heart is like a frenzy!
It's just that the next moment, Chu Xiao's heart was ruthless, even though he was reluctant in every way, he only threw the Asking Heart Sword in his hand fiercely, and the Asking Heart Sword flashed, and it was thrown to the ground by Chu Xiao, waving bursts of smoke and dust wrapped in dry soil, drowning the pure white light on the Asking Heart Sword.
Everyone was silent, watching Chu Xiao's every move, only to see him suddenly slam the sword of conscience, which was regarded as life, to the ground. His fall seemed to break the hearts of many people present.
You must know that the fairy sword is like life for cultivators, the sword is in the person, and the sword is dead, but this originally free and bold white-clothed Chu Xiao throws, is it disarmed and confessed, or is the heart like ashes?
Lu Xiyue saw the wooden characters on the big stone from a distance, and her heart had already flipped through it a few times, she was the first to think of this wooden character, whether it could be half of the wooden character of the forest character, if so, then this wooden Lin Yizhi, who was still standing aside, was he stupid, is it difficult to escape the difficulty, he was not valued by the master, and the only obstacle towards him had already closed the dead! From the bright side, Chu Xiao was extremely passive at this moment, but after careful analysis, Lin Yizhi was full of danger and his future was uncertain!
Under the thought, Lu Xiyue was so depressed that she couldn't breathe, and quietly came to Lin Yizhi's side, and called in a low voice: "Brother Yizhi's ......" was speechless anymore, and the pity in his expression turned into a line of tears and flowed down silently.
The next moment, that Qianqian's fingers had already held Lin Yizhi's hand.
Lin Yizhi hadn't reacted yet, but when he saw his little sister like this, he cried, panicked, and hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Sister Xiyue, ...... you are?"
Without waiting for Lin Yizhi to finish speaking, Lu Xiyue sobbed softly and pointed to the wooden characters on the stone.
Lin Yizhi looked up again, he still didn't think there was anything special, and said with a smile: "Aren't you the identity of the murderer......?" The next moment, Lin Yizhi's smile suddenly froze, and his eyes suddenly became complicated, he stared at the wooden word, motionless.
I have said it thousands of times in my heart, and there is also a wooden character in my surname......
In other words, you may also be one of the murderers!
The next moment, he finally came to his senses, and he also understood why his little sister was holding his hand and crying, she loved him and worried about him!
Because, he may also be a murderer, and he seems to be more like a murderer than Chu Xiao!
First, although Chu Xiao gave Ouyang Yue a few looks, he didn't really have a conflict, but he fought with him, and that one thought of himself could make Ouyang Yue a dead man; second, Ouyang Yue had to die in the same way as he subdued him at that time, all of them were hand chokes on his neck; third, Chu Xiao was in a prominent position, and he was just a little disciple who was not taken seriously and had extremely dull talents, once he alarmed his uncles, there were a few people who spoke for him!
As soon as he thought of this, Lin Yizhi was like cold water pouring his head, and all thoughts were lost. Even his face turned pale.
Lu Xiyue clenched his hand, and she could already feel the violent tremor coming from that hand!
And at this moment, Chu Xiao had already thrown the sword of conscience on the ground, and in front of everyone, under Zeng Ruijin's flickering eyes, he slowly and resolutely knelt down!
This kneeling made everyone's hearts extremely shocked!
The white-clothed Nalan in the team all had wide eyes, as if they couldn't believe the facts in front of them.
Zeng Ruijin never expected Chu Xiao to make such a move, so he was so shocked that he took a few steps back, his color changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother Chu, the matter hasn't been clarified yet, why are you like this!"
Chu Xiao smiled faintly, but his expression became more resolute, and the unrepentance and determination in his eyes made Zeng Ruijin's heart a little unbearable.
Zeng Ruijin didn't understand why Chu Xiao acted like this.
Chu Xiao said slowly: "Senior Brother Zeng, don't check, that will only work hard, the wooden words on the stone point to me, all this is done by me, now that I have disarmed, you can take me to see my master and uncles!"
Zeng Ruijin looked at Chu Xiao's resolute face, and his heart was also very distressed, how could he not know, why did this Chu Xiao have such a big package? How could he not want to prove that he was the murderer, but once this was the case, if he continued to investigate, Bai Limu and Lin Yizhi would inevitably be involved, and how could he bear it?
The second disciple of the entire Liwu Sect, before all this kind of right and wrong, chose to bear it alone, whether it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, or a storm and a storm, everything came to him!
At this moment, in Zeng Ruijin's eyes, Lin Yizhi's eyes, Bai Limu's eyes, and the eyes of all those who figured out these truths, they all felt that this senior brother Chu Xiao, who was free and bold on weekdays, suddenly became a little taller, but this tall figure actually carried an incomparably heavy tragedy!
Zeng Ruijin wanted to say something more, but suddenly Chu Xiao's firm voice sounded in his ears: "Senior Brother Zeng, do you want to let Chu Xiao bear the guilt of a lifetime? This matter can't involve too many people, as the second senior brother of the Leaving Worry Sect, I can't shirk my responsibility! Brother, don't hesitate!"
Words are heart-wrenching, unquestionable!
Zeng Ruijin knew that this was what Chu Xiao secretly told him with the method of sound transmission, and the next moment, Zeng Ruijin was already in tears and couldn't say a word.
Strike!
Zeng Ruijin was ruthless, and just wanted to drink the order to escort Chu Xiao away.
Suddenly, a person in front of him slowly walked out of the crowd.
Lu Xiyue was shocked by what Chu Xiao had done, and suddenly felt that her hand was loose, she subconsciously knew that it was not good, and she was about to shout in a low voice, but it was too late.
The young man in black, in full view of everyone, slowly came to Chu Xiao's side, and with unquestionable eyes, he slowly helped Chu Xiao up.
Chu Xiao's eyes flashed with tears, and he couldn't say a word when he read: "Brother, ......".
The black-clothed young man smiled at Chu Xiao, and there was no longer the initial panic and escape in his heart, but where his eyes met, he was calm and calm.
Lin Yizhi suddenly spoke: "Senior Brother Chu, I have wronged you in this matter!"
After that, he knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Lin Yizhi, the fifth disciple of Mo Youfeng, deceived you, because Ouyang Yue repeatedly insulted me three times, I held a grudge, so I asked him to kill him here yesterday night, everything was done by me, and it had nothing to do with others, Lin Yizhi was willing to bear everything!"
There is no doubt about it!
Everyone's hearts were like lightning strikes, and everyone trembled in their hearts, and those new disciples also wondered in their hearts, what was going on with this disciple of the Leaving Worry Sect today, and they were rushing to confess their sins!
Zeng Ruijin had a lot of regret in his eyes, so he only stomped his foot and sighed: "Brother, why are you so hard!"
Lin Yiyi smiled and said slowly: "Senior brother doesn't have to be like this, although Yizhi is stupid, he also understands that it will be sooner or later!"
Lin Yizhi knelt in front of everyone, and in the sunshine, the black clothes flickered, which seemed to stab people's eyes.
Nalan Mingxuan looked at the black-clothed young man stupidly at this time, with a complicated expression in his eyes, and he didn't know what to think.
At this moment, an indifferent voice came from the crowd, and the voice said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, I'm also counted here, okay?"
Everyone looked back, but it was Bai Limu with an indifferent face!
The white clothes fluttered, and the face was still indifferent and didn't seem to change at all, and he slowly walked in front of Lin and Chu and smiled indifferently.
"I'm here to join in the fun!" Bai Limu said suddenly.
"Wow-" All the new disciples were suddenly confused, and a low discussion began.
One of the three people referred to by the word "wood", none of them chose to escape, they all came out generously, without the slightest hesitation and retreat, and then think about Ouyang Yue's face and other people, among the new disciples, most of them felt that Ouyang Yue's death was insignificant.
Zeng Ruijin saw that these three people were all iron-clad, and he didn't give an inch, and said with a long sigh: "It's a little reckless for you to act rashly like this, isn't it? Forget it, you all get up, from now on, you can't be presumptuous, we hope that all the disciples of Youyoufeng and Mo Youfeng will go back for the time being and report this matter to their respective masters, and let them decide!"
After that, he picked up these people one by one.
However, this decision annoyed the two of them, and the two of them jumped in the crowd like thunder, jumped to their feet and pointed at Zeng Ruijin and the others and shouted: "Okay, you are a renunciation sect, this is what you call a fair act! None of them will be investigated? In our opinion, these three people are all murderers! If you shield these three people, Shangguan Qingliao and I will go down the mountain and invite the three major Xiuzhen families to come, and when the time comes, the heads of the three major families will come in person to see if you can get out of the Worry Sect!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone looked sideways, it was Beigong Boyu and Shangguan Qingliao.
Those new disciples are okay, but the disciples of Wangyoufeng and Mo Youfeng, Xiao Gangyan and Duan Langkun all had cold eyes, and the boundless murderous aura shot directly at the two of them.
Beigong Boyu was shaking his head and talking happily, and suddenly countless knife-like murderous eyes shot at him, and he was stunned for a moment, but he still muttered quietly.
Zeng Ruijin glanced at the two of them with deep disgust in his eyes, stepped forward, and laughed loudly: "You two, if you want to wipe me out of the Sorrow Sect, you can go down the mountain immediately and let the three major cultivation families come, and my great Separation Sect is waiting for them!"
The last sentence was already in a cold voice, and he was angry.
As soon as Beigong Boyu pulled Shangguan Qingliao, he turned his head and left, turning back and shouting as he walked: "Okay, then you just wait for the catastrophe to come!"
Zeng Ruijin, Chu Xiao and the others looked at the two backs that were gradually moving away, and their hearts couldn't help but feel a little heavier.
Zeng Ruijin looked at several of his senior brothers, then at the new disciples, and said with a long sigh: "Senior Brother Chu Xiao, now that the situation has changed, this matter of accepting apprentices has to be postponed, and the new disciples are temporarily living in the front room of Liwu Mountain, waiting for the assessment news, we must report the matter here to their respective masters as soon as possible, and let them decide!"
Everyone nodded.
As those new disciples slowly dispersed, Nalan Mingxuan walked at the end and glanced at Lin Yizhi, Lin Yizhi also looked at him, and could see that Nalan was also a heavy look of worry in his eyes.
Lin Yizhi smiled at him, and Nalan turned his head and strode away.
Seeing that these disciples had all dispersed, only the disciples of Wangwu Peak and Mo Yu Feng were left on the empty mountain road.
Zeng Ruijin looked around, and everyone glanced around.
White-clothed Chu Xiao, the same white-clothed Bai Limu, black-clothed Lin Yizhi, and pink-clothed Lu Xiyue.
Or Duan Langkun and Xiao Gangyan's eyes were heavy, but in addition to heaviness, there was also a trace of undoubted resoluteness.
Zeng Ruijin slowly raised his head and looked at the sunlight in the sky, and felt that the sunlight had suddenly dimmed a lot, and there were gusts of wind blowing from an unknown place, blowing everyone's clothes and hunting, and their hearts were cold.
He sighed and said, "Alas, it seems that a storm is about to fall on me, so I'd better make plans early......"
After saying that, he turned around silently and went first.
Everyone sighed and slowly walked towards the Lishou Mountain Gate......
P.S: Today's sign-in will be later to accompany my daughter-in-law to eat steak and come back to sign thank you!
