Five Immortals Gate

Li Yan and the other three walked towards the door of the courtyard next door. As they approached, Kong Nantai and others outside the courtyard also looked at them. Li Yan actually felt two snake-like eyes looking at them. Although he pretended to be frightened on the surface, , but under the induction of his spiritual consciousness, those two cold eyes came from under the cloak of the man in black robes. To be precise, their eyes were locked on the master and servant in front of him.

As the three of them approached, Kong Nantai and the four people who spread out in an encirclement looked at each other for a moment. Kong Nantai's eyes flashed for a few times, but in the end he did not speak to stop Li Yan and the others. In their minds, Li Yan and the three of them were equally suspicious. They were in adjacent courtyards, and it was perfectly possible to return quickly after killing people, but it was just not as suspicious as the two men in black robes who seemed to have been caught on the spot.

Suspicions on Li Yan and the three others must be reasonable after all, not to mention that they were so close to the murder scene, and the head senior brother should call the three of them over soon.

Li Yan and the other three arrived at the courtyard gate, but they couldn't get in. At this time, ten disciples had been posted at the door to block them out.

"Let them come in, I have something to ask." At this moment, the voice of the Taoist priest in the courtyard rang out, and everyone could hear a hint of suppressed anger in the voice.

After hearing this, the disciples outside the door stepped out of the way and signaled the three of them to go in. When they came, Li Yan and the others naturally wanted to go in and take a look.

When the three of them entered the courtyard, they found that the lights were on. A Taoist priest was standing in the courtyard, and a corpse was lying on the ground. Li Yan and the other two stared at the man, who was lying face down on the ground. He was wearing a Xuanqing Temple Taoist robe, with a big bloody hole on his waist. There were large areas of bright red blood on the ground, some of which had condensed with the soil on the ground to turn black.

Under the moonlight and the flickering lights in the courtyard, the palace Taoist's face was gloomy and uncertain. The hands of the dead body lying on the ground were pale and dazzling. A gust of night wind blew through, making the leaves in the courtyard rustle, and the strong smell of blood filled the place. In this space, Li Yan and the others felt a chill on their backs, which was strange and eerie.

Of course, monks no longer mainly use their eyes to see things. Li Yan's spiritual consciousness swept over him. Although this person was face down, he looked at his lean figure and thought of the Qi Condensation Stage disciple who shouted before, " "Uncle Song", and then he remembered that this person seemed to be a foundation-building monk standing next to Luo Sanpang in the afternoon, and the big bloody hole in his waist had been pierced front and back.

While Li Yan and the other three were observing with their spiritual senses, the Taoist priest's face showed some ferocity. Unexpectedly, in just half a day, two junior brothers died in the Taoist temple. These were two foundation builders. There were nine brothers and sisters in total. , now Xuan Qingguan's strength declined sharply.

"There is no need to observe. Junior brother Song was attacked from behind, directly destroying his dantian and purple bowels. He was killed instantly." He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and slowly said to the three of them.

When Li Yan and the other three heard this, they couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the Taoist Gong at the same time. The young man in purple stopped for a moment and suddenly asked, "So

\u003c/di\u003e

Speaking of which, the murderer must have been familiar with the deceased senior. Otherwise, it is still unclear how a foundation-building monk could be so close to someone. In that way, unless the murderer is a monk above the Golden Core level, a foundation-building monk can be rendered defenseless. "

Hearing what the young man in purple shirt said, the Taoist priest's eyes stopped on him and looked at him a few more times. He originally meant to say this to the hunchbacked old man. The young man in purple shirt suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast, and was unable to move. However, the old man with a hunchback moved his steps casually, and half of his body was blocked in front of the young man in purple shirt. The pressure disappeared immediately, and he was covered in sweat. The hunchbacked old man still did not speak, but looked at the Taoist Gong.

A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the palace Taoist. He had long seen that this hunchbacked old man was very strong, but he didn't expect that the pressure on him could be resolved so easily. One of his feet had already touched the golden elixir.

He continued without changing his expression, "This little friend is right. The protective formation here is still in a semi-open state, which means that Junior Brother Song should have gotten up to see off the murderer. When he walked to the courtyard, he opened the door. In order to let the murderer leave, the murderer deliberately took a step behind Junior Brother Song, and then struck the assassin from behind, directly penetrating the internal organs from the waist, destroying Junior Brother Song's Dantian and Purple Fu organs, causing Junior Brother Song to die instantly. "

When he said these words, he was filled with anger. To Xuan Qingguan, this was already a naked provocation. His actions in the morning were still somewhat concealed, but in the evening he killed them directly. At the same time, he was also entangled in his heart. Various signs showed that he had The results deduced by Hall Master Ji are all facts. It is this result that he cannot accept. In this case, the murderer must be a Taoist man. Even if these outside monks find Junior Brother Song in an emergency, he will not relax. To this extent, the murderer was not only familiar with Junior Brother Song, but also quite familiar with him. This was also the reason why he had not ordered the arrest of the two men in black robes outside the door.

He still hadn't said a word, and Junior Brother Song's storage bag was also missing.

"Then I dare to ask the seniors. When the screams occurred here, the time until the seniors arrived is generally not long. Logically speaking, this senior's resentful soul should still be nearby. Have you found it?" The young man in purple shirt thought for a moment. , or asked in his mouth, as long as he finds the resentful soul, the problem can be solved. He is anxious to leave this place, and at this time, he no longer cares about what the Taoist Palace thinks of him.

"No, just like Junior Brother Liu in the morning, his soul is dead." Gong Taoist's face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping with water.

At this moment, Li Yan's expression changed, but he still lowered his head so that no one could see his face. And a little while later, the hunchbacked old man looked up at one side of the courtyard wall as if unintentionally, and then a voice came.

"Three fellow Taoists, what the head brother means is that I don't know if the three of you saw anyone else passing by or heard any sounds next door." As the sound came out, the young man in purple shirt and Li Yan seemed to be caught. The person woke up with a start and looked at the person coming. A figure slowly became clear on the courtyard wall. It was the Master Ji of the Xuanqing Temple Supervisory Hall. As soon as he appeared, he shook his head at the Taoist priest. , flew quietly to the Taoist Gong's side.

When the Taoist priest saw Hall Master Ji shaking his head, his face became even more gloomy. After the two of them entered the courtyard, they first checked all the places here, and then they went out of the courtyard separately to search around. In addition to searching for clues, they also I hope that Junior Brother Song’s soul can be found, even if it’s just a wisp, and the murderer’s true identity will be revealed.

Based on their cultivation and their own understanding of the Guanzhong Formation, the search was quick. After searching for a while without any results, the Taoist Gong returned here first. Seeing that Hall Master Ji was like this, it was as if the murderer was like a shadow, coming and going without a trace, and he never let go of his soul, which made people lose the chance of reincarnation. This made Gong Taoist feel more and more worried. The sinking made him feel that everyone around him might be violent and murderous again under the right circumstances.

After hearing Hall Master Ji's words, the young man in purple robe looked at Li Yan with a look of fear on his face, then glanced at the hunchbacked old man in front of him, and slowly shook his head, "What happened at noon today is already shocking. Come back." After that, the five of us each chose a room to rest. Uncle Sang and I kept talking to each other in the room because of today's events. It wasn't until we heard the screams outside that we went out of the room. Oh, this matter has something to do with this person. Fellow Taoist can prove that he walked out of the room first." Having said this, he pointed at Li Yan, then smiled at Li Yan, and continued, "When the three of us were in the courtyard, there was no one next door. When the sound came out, no one was seen walking outside the courtyard, but during this period, the other two Taoist friends in black robes were not seen. I waited for a while, and then I heard someone shouting outside. Someone was already coming. When I got out of the courtyard, I saw Senior Guan Nei Kong leading people to surround the two black-robed Taoist monks not far away, but I didn't know when the two black-robed Taoist monks left." He said to him respectfully. He bowed to Hall Master Ji and the Taoist priest.

The words of the young man in purple sounded like he was just describing what he had seen and heard, but his words seemed to point to the two men in black robes, and he also let Li Yan in.

After the young man in purple shirt bowed respectfully, he couldn't help but feel a little humility towards Li Yan. He said in his heart, "This fellow Taoist can't help but I really have to leave early. But I didn't lie. When I came out, You are indeed standing in the courtyard." He also looked at Li Yan with an apologetic smile.

Taoist Gong and Hall Master Ji looked at Li Yan again. Although they did not feel any threat to a Qi Condensation Stage monk, Hall Master Ji still said, "My little friend, when did you come to the courtyard?" , was there anything unusual?

\u003c/di\u003e

If anything happens, please let me know. I will thank you very much. "Although he was so polite, his eyes were fixed on Li Yan like a knife. At the same time, he thought in his mind, "This person is from the Blood Leaf Sect, and he is just a third-rate sect. If you can tell the reason, then that's fine, otherwise..." Although he and the Taoist priests had already determined that Junior Brother Song's death was more than 70% due to a traitor within the Taoist temple, any accidents would still exist. Li Yanruo couldn't explain, so he took it in his irritation. Li Yan's storage bag was checked to see if there was a magic weapon that could kill the foundation cultivator. This was also a pleasure, and a suspect was eliminated.

Li Yan sneered in his heart when the young man in purple shirt pushed him out. Although he was more frightened on the surface, he quickly said, "Senior Qi Bing, the junior did arrive in the courtyard first, but he only came out after hearing the screams." At first glance, it turned out that the senior Qin who arranged for me to stay overnight knew about this. At that time, he was sitting in front of the opposite window drinking. When he saw the junior, he raised his drink to signal to the junior. This is unmistakable. Just then there was a scream.

After I came to the courtyard, there was no other sound. Until I walked out of the courtyard with him, I didn't find anyone passing by the door. "

"Oh? Are you talking about Junior Brother Qin? Hmm... What you said is possible. These courtyard windows are opposite to the courtyard where Junior Brother Qin lives on the other side." Hall Master Ji stared for a moment, thought for a moment, and felt It's possible.

At this moment, a clear voice came over, "Oh, what this fellow Taoist said is true. I was indeed sitting in front of the window drinking at that time. When I saw this fellow Taoist looking over, I raised my drink to signal. , The screams of Senior Brother Song appeared at that time, and this fellow Taoist really had nothing to do with this matter." Everyone looked for a voice, but a figure walked in from the courtyard gate, it was Qin Chengyi.

"Junior Brother Qin, why did you come here at such a time?" Hall Master Ji looked at the visitor, feeling unhappy in his heart that something like this had happened here. Although this Junior Brother Qin's cultivation was still at the Qi Condensation stage, he was still in the Qi Condensation stage anyway. It's been a while, but it seems like he doesn't care.

"I've met the head brother, Senior Brother Ji. I heard something unusual here and rushed over. But when I passed by the gate of Senior Brother Liu's courtyard, I was stopped by Senior Brother Luo and asked about the situation. I said a few words to him, but I was afraid of him. He was wandering around randomly for a while, fearing that something might happen to Senior Brother Liu who he was guarding, so he asked him to stay there and explain to him later. When he arrived outside the courtyard, he saw Senior Brother Kong and several people surrounding him. After meeting two guests, he also asked about the situation, so it was too late," Qin Chengyi said.

After listening to Qin Chengyi's explanation, Hall Master Ji's face softened, and the Taoist priest also nodded. If Qin Chengyi hadn't met Luo Sanpang, that fool would have left his duties and come here directly. If the murderer went to destroy it again. At the scene, it was really impossible to explain when Master came back.
