Chapter 37: False Alarm (1st Update)
Xie Ling was relieved to see that the surroundings were quiet, and his mind turned sharply, whether to inform the sect or keep it for himself, the two thoughts collided in his mind.
In the first case, the advantage is that you can get 500 contribution points in the sect in a righteous and bright way, but you have to sell the two fellow disciples of the gravel yard.
Needless to say, the second kind of benefit is that the dragon stone worth a thousand spirit stones plus a storage bag with a lot of use, the disadvantage is that it will take a great risk! If it fails, then the outcome can be imagined.
Xie Ling thought for a moment, and decided to choose the second way, he couldn't do anything about betraying his fellow disciples, the most important thing is that if he did this, he would become the target of public criticism, which would be beneficial in the short term, but there would be many disadvantages in the long run. What's more, the moment the dragon stone flew out just now, he had a feeling that he could control it, he was very close, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable.
After making a decision, Xie Ling no longer hesitated, took control of the black iron sword weapon, and flew down the canyon to the right. He didn't dare to fly too far, and now he was searching for the thieves, in case the people who called the Law Enforcement Hall bumped into him, it would be over. About a mile or so ahead, I chose a protruding rock on the edge of the canyon and fell, dug a hole in the cliff wall and buried the storage bag in it. He was really afraid that there was still the breath of the original owner on it, so he didn't dare to take it back to the stone house.
After making this qiē and marking it, Xie Ling carefully returned from the original road, and when he was about to arrive at the stone house, he found that it was brightly lit, and the people from the Law Enforcement Hall had already found it here.
Xie Ling put away the black iron sword weapon and walked to his stone house without hurrying.
"Come here!" a middle-aged man from the Law Enforcement Hall noticed him and yelled at him.
"Is there something wrong?" Xie Ling walked over with a puzzled look on his face.
"It's so late, you're not in your room, where have you been?" said the man.
"I went to the stream to practice, is there anything wrong?" Xie Ling said.
"Go to the stream to practice, what kind of exercises?" the man continued.
"Water Cloud Technique!"
"Is there a stream around here?" the man turned to ask the Law Enforcement Hall disciple on the side.
"My lord, there is a stream across the woods opposite. The disciple said.
"You go check it out, and if it's okay, let him go!" the man nodded.
The law enforcement hall disciple walked over, there was a mouse-like beast on his shoulder, Xie Lingxin said This is the sniffing spirit mouse that has an extraordinary sense of heaven and earth treasures!
The disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall groped around with him for a while, and found the black iron sword weapon in his arms, he took it in his hand and glanced at Xie Ling, how could a trial student have a sword weapon? This is too suspicious.
"Look, my lord!" he walked over and presented the black iron sword weapon to the middle-aged man.
"What's going on?" The man's face changed instantly, and he looked at Xie Ling on the other side with a glint in his eyes, as if he wanted to see him through.
"This was obtained when I was assessing the intermediate instrument apprentice a few days ago, and the two main examiners at that time can testify!" Xie Ling said.
"Don't worry, I'll ask, you go to his stone house first. Although the man knew that the trial student on the other side could not cheat on this, out of caution, he still ordered his men to search Xie Ling's house.
Xie Lingxin finished speaking, the sniffing spirit mouse would definitely find something in the stone wall, but his face remained unchanged, and he walked in front to lead those Law Enforcement Hall disciples to his stone house.
The middle-aged man had been paying attention to Xie Ling, and seeing that he had nothing abnormal, could it be that he was suspicious?
At this moment, a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall came running from a distance, and when he saw the middle-aged man, he was a little excited and said, "My lord, we have found a heavy dà in the back mountain, please go over and have a look!"
The expression on the middle-aged man's face changed, and he turned around and said to the disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall who was about to come to Xie Lingshi's house, "You bring the sniffing spirit mouse with me." ”
The Law Enforcement Hall disciple retracted his steps and turned to leave, but none of them noticed that the sniffing spirit mouse on his shoulder turned his head to look at Xie Ling's stone house, and his small eyes actually blinked.
Xie Ling has been paying attention to it, and he almost lost his soul when he saw it, and those branches and leaves of the camphor tree are indescribable! God forbid, fortunately, there is only one sniffing spirit mouse in their team.
"After I ask about the sword, if there is no problem, I will naturally return it to you. The middle-aged man saw him in a trance, thinking that it was for the sword in his hand, so he said.
Xie Ling bowed and expressed his gratitude. Then he took the remaining two Law Enforcement Hall disciples into his stone house.
Sending away the two law enforcement hall disciples who found nothing, Xie Ling breathed a sigh of relief, although it was a false alarm, but it also reminded him that it seemed that he still had to get one of the storage bags, otherwise it would be easy for people to know their secrets.
On the stone platform in the middle of the secret room of the Cangyue Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, there is a complete man's corpse on display, the green robe on its body is already shabby, and there are four people standing around the stone platform, they are the four major deacons of the Law Enforcement Hall, one of them is the middle-aged man who blocked Xie Ling last night.
The door of the secret room opened, and Ding Kui's tall figure walked in from the outside, and the other four hurriedly bowed.
"Is that it?" Ding Kui said, glancing at the corpses on the stone platform, covering his nose.
"It has been inspected, it is Ouyang Chun, the senior apprentice who disappeared in the material room, we found it in the mountain behind the refining institute last night, according to the investigation, he should have a storage bag, but we did not find it on the corpse. "Middle-aged humane.
"Does Deacon Xu mean that there are still accomplices?" Ding Kui's eyes flashed.
"The dragon stone was stolen, and Ouyang Chun, who was in the material room, happened to be missing at this time, if it is impossible to say that it has nothing to do with him, as for whether there is an accomplice, my personal opinion should be, we have examined his corpse and found that he was killed by someone who broke his heart. Deacon Xu said.
"There is also a possibility that after the two conspired to steal the fire dragon stone, there was a dispute, and the other person seriously injured Ouyang Chun, but he escaped, and when he arrived at the mountain behind the refining courtyard, he finally died, and the things on his body were taken by the disciples of the sect who passed by. ”
"Deacon Liu is right, there is a possibility!" Ding Kui nodded, and then said: "Anyway, now that you have eyebrows, you can find out the real murderer as much as possible, but you are staring at it very closely!" After speaking, he turned around and left.
"Now there is only one corpse, how easy it is to find the real murderer!" the short and thin old man who had not spoken all this time shook his head.
"Brother Kong, no matter how difficult it is, we have to investigate! I heard that the above is very angry about this, and even the Cui Yuan Master of the Refining Academy has been trained, we have to give an explanation to the above!"
The rest of the people didn't understand the meaning of the last speaker's words, and Ding Tang's main thing was to confess, and it didn't necessarily mean the truth! Those who couldn't tell the relationship between them were not qualified to have a place here.
Soon, news came out that the thief who stole the 'Fire Dragon Stone' was found, it was Ouyang Chun, a senior apprentice in the material room, and was killed on the spot by the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall under a fierce battle, and the lost 'Fire Dragon Stone' was found from him.
The news made Xie Ling stunned, found the thief, and also found the 'Fire Dragon Stone' from him, so what was he hiding in the cliff? He was a little confused!
And the two trial students are the same, obviously they got the dragon stone from the dead man, and threw it under the cliff with their own hands, why did the plot become like this all of a sudden? But no matter what, this time it was considered to have escaped, if he was reluctant to throw it away at that time, he would definitely be noticed by the people of the Law Enforcement Hall that night, and now I have lingering palpitations when I think about it, the dead man's things are not easy to take!
"Xie Ling, someone is looking for you!"
"Who?"
"It seems to be someone from the Law Enforcement Hall. ”
"The people of the Law Enforcement Hall-" Xie Ling's heart suddenly suddenly, he really didn't do anything wrong, he was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, even how calm he was, he couldn't help but get nervous.
The others also looked over curiously, and saw that a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall had handed something into Xie Ling's hands, and both of them had smiles on their faces, which didn't seem to be a bad thing.
"What's the matter, how did the people from the Law Enforcement Hall look for you?" Long Xiang asked curiously after waiting for the law enforcement hall disciple to leave.
"Nothing, just give me one thing back. Xie Lingdao.
Just as Long Xiang wanted to continue asking, someone outside shouted, "Is Xie Ling from the gravel yard here?"
At this moment, even Xie Ling was stunned, who is it? It seems that the people he knows in the sect are very limited, what is the matter today!
"You're Xie Ling?" the visitor looked at him carefully, as if he didn't believe it.
"Well, I am, may I ask who you are?" Xie Ling saw that there was a good person, wearing a blue embroidered moon dress that symbolized a high-level instrument apprentice, his face was like a crown of jade, and his lips were red and his teeth were white.
"I'm Shu Zichun of the inlay room, this is your order, come to the inlay room on the first of next month to report!" After speaking, the handsome young man who called himself Shu Zichun threw over a palm-sized square small order, and then said to the stunned Xie Ling: "I heard that you can sacrifice the three prohibitions on the low-level sword weapon, I really want to see it!" After speaking, he laughed and walked out of the door with a laugh in the shocked eyes of everyone.
"Three prohibitions, Xie Ling, quickly recruit from the truth, what else do you have to hide from us-" Long Xiang blinked his eyes, and loudly rushed to Xie Lingdao, who was holding the Quartet Xiaoling tightly.
The rest of the people also gathered around, and the crowd was furious!
"No, it's really not-" Xie Ling saw that he was in the middle of nowhere.
At night, a pot was set up outside Xie Ling's stone house, and he, Qin Pei, and Long Xiang sat together for the first time to drink.
"Xie Ling, you're going to the mosaic room, you won't forget us, right?" Long Xiang said with a sip of wine.
"How come, we are good brothers!" Xie Ling was a little drunk, his tongue was also bigger, one hand on Long Xiang's body, and the other hand on Qin Pei's body, talking much more than usual.
"Well, good brother! Qin Pei picked up the bowl and drank it in a big gulp.
"I remember that you are going to become a refiner, so that your family's business can be done in the sect, right?" Xie Ling said to Qin Pei.
Qin Pei nodded.
"Your uncle wants you to become a junior weapon, otherwise you won't be allowed to go home, right?" Xie Ling said to Long Xiang beside him again.
"Yes, it seems that it is still far from it!" Long Xiang made a bitter face, and said: "You want to become a foundation building period monk before the age of twenty-three! Hehe, I thought it was funny when I heard it, twenty-three-year-old foundation building period monk, you really dare to think about it!" Long Xiang laughed out loud after speaking.
"Why not, I still want to be a master!"
"You become a great weaponist, then what else do I want to be a junior weapon, I want to become a great refiner, and then I will smash the ass of Yun Yazi with one punch, and let him go to the side to cool off!"
Qin Pei also laughed, Xie Ling also laughed, and the three of them laughed and continued to drink, continuing to talk nonsense until dawn!
