Sword Moon Lyrics

Xuan Yi shook his head, "We haven't found out who the murderer is yet! I called all the elders and you here to discuss the matter together. Junior Brother Konoha, please tell me what happened again."

"Yes! Senior Brother, Headmaster." The Konoha Taoist said, sighing heavily, "My fellow disciples, I only learned of the death of my apprentice not long ago, not a few hours earlier than you.

Speaking of which, the young disciple Lingzhu was one of the first ten disciples of Zhuguanyuan, and the cave was moved to the Lingchi in the back mountain.

Over the years, either he or I have been in retreat, and our master and disciple have not met many times. However, he sent messages to greet Pindao every month. I knew that his practice was going well, so I didn’t ask much about him.

Yesterday, as usual, I meditated in the cave. Just before dawn, I suddenly received a message, but it was from Taoist Taoist Yu Yu of Wanshou Temple in Anyang City.

As everyone knows, this Taoist is a registered disciple of Pindao. He sent a message and told about a big event. In the middle of the night, a corpse fell from the sky and landed in the yard where he slept.

Taoist Yu recognized him as Taoist Lingzhu, so he hurriedly sent a message to me.

Pindao was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly got up and rushed to Wanshou Temple. When he arrived, he saw that the body was his disciple Lingzhu, and he was completely dead.

The poor Taoist asked the Taoist, and he said that when he was sleeping until the fourth watch, he suddenly heard a bang in the yard. When he opened the door and looked, he saw the body falling into the patio.

As for the rest, Taoist Yu couldn't tell. He didn't see the appearance of the murderer at all, and he didn't leave any clues such as notes or slips at the scene.

I felt grief in my heart, touched Lingzhu's body, and found that he had been dead for no more than an hour.

I thought that the murderer might not be far away, so I hurriedly chased him out. I happened to meet Junior Brother Xuanming on patrol. The two of us chased outside the city and found the scene where the young disciple was killed. It was in a woods three miles south of the city. There is a pond.

The traces of the killing are still there, but the murderer has long disappeared.

Pindao and Junior Brother Xuanming couldn't find any clues, so they had no choice but to bring Lingzhu's body to report to the Head Senior Brother. "

Master Xuan Ming next to him only nodded and said nothing.

Xuan Yi continued, "Junior Brother Konoha came to see me, it was almost Tatsuki. I placed the body of Junior Nephew Lingzhu on the cold jade platform. After careful inspection, I felt that this matter was very strange, so I Call everyone here for discussion.”

While Li Qingshi was listening to the narration, he had already gathered around the body and started inspecting it.

He pressed his finger on the Qi Sea part of the corpse, and his expression suddenly changed, "Devil Qi!"

"That's right!" Xuan Yi nodded and said, "Senior nephew Lingzhu's body is filled with demonic energy."

Taoist Jingxu and others had experienced the corpse before Master Li Qing arrived, and asked, "Judging from the stiffness of the body's muscles, Taoist Lingzhu was killed between the first and second updates last night. But he was not in retreat in Lingchi." Practice?”

The person responsible for the daily management of Zhuguanyuan is Elder Xuanming.

He replied, "I checked and found that Taoist Lingzhu had records of leaving the mountain yesterday morning. He was not in Lingchi or Shigu Mountain."

"Why did he come out of the mountain?"

Taoist Xuan Ming shook his head, "This poor Taoist doesn't know! After the Lingchi Cave was allocated, all the disciples practiced independently, and I will not disturb them.

Although the management of Lingchi is strict, it means entering, but exiting is much simpler. Zhuguanyuan disciples often travel between Lingchi and Yuanshan Gate.

As for leaving Shigu Mountain, there is no need to report it to me unless you are traveling far away. I checked and found that Taoist Lingzhu has not reported any recent travels. "

Master Jingxu said, "You just left the sect yesterday morning? He was killed in the suburbs of Anyang in the evening. Although I don't know what happened to Lingzhu's nephew when he went out, but at least we know that he did not go to a very far place on this trip."

Master Konoha suddenly interjected, "Although Lingzhu's outing was not reported to me, Pindao could have guessed it!

A few months ago, he sent me a message telling me that the base was shaking and the time was ripe for elixir formation. I guess he went out yesterday to buy various things needed for the pill formation. "

"What a pity, what a pity." Master Jingxu sighed repeatedly.

"The causes and consequences of this matter are obvious. Everyone, do you still need to guess?!" A loud voice sounded, and everyone looked at him. The speaker was none other than Taoist Chili.

Xuan Yi said, "I would like to hear from senior brother!"

Master Chili said, "Master Lingzhu's nephew's body is full of demonic energy. Who in our Taiji Sect can bring out this demonic energy? And the demonic energy is so strong that the person who does it must be a demonic cultivator. And Master Lingzhu will return home in the morning, and in the evening Coming back from the south of the city, he obviously went to the south.

We are located in the south of Tai Chi Sect and have a quarrel with the demon cultivators. Who else can we have besides the Demon Puppet Sect? "

Master Jingxu was the first to nod in agreement, "Senior Brother, what you said makes sense. Taiji Sect established the Bamboo Crown Courtyard to train more than a dozen disciples with the power of the spirit pool. This matter has already spread throughout the Yan Kingdom, and it is impossible for the Demon Puppet Sect not to know about it.

Over the years, they have been provoking troubles, eroding the strength of our sect, and assassinated a Zhuguanyuan disciple. Not only did they prevent our sect from adding a golden elixir monk, but they also cost us a lot of manpower and financial resources. The effect is equivalent to killing He killed more than a dozen ordinary disciples of our sect. "

When Xuan Yi heard this, he frowned slightly. This was indeed a problem. Elder Jingxu originally opposed the establishment of Zhuguanyuan and mentioned this concern. She mentioned it again this time, with a hint of blame.

Chili Zhenren said, "This is one of them."

Master Jingxu said "Oh", "Senior brother, is there another one?"

Master Chili stroked his beard and said, "The second is testing. Over the years, what the Demon Puppet Sect wants to know most is how injured our ancestor is!

For this reason, they kept irritating us and took more and more actions. First they killed one or two of our Qi Refining disciples, then they killed our Foundation Establishment disciples, and now they are attacking the fake elixir disciples of Zhuguanyuan. If we keep tolerating, That means the ancestor's injury has not healed. "

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"Brother, that makes sense."

"Well, this is exactly what the Demon Puppet Sect wants."

"Kill two birds with one stone!"

Master Li Qing had been examining the body on the ice bed when he suddenly stopped and asked, "Has Junior Brother Lingzhu's storage bag been taken away by people from the Demon Puppet Sect?"

Chili Zhenzhen said, "Is there any need to say it?"

Master Li Qing continued to ask, "I remember that Junior Brother Lingzhu used an upper-level magic weapon from Diecui Peak, called the Seven-Leaf Whip. Was it also taken by people from the Demon Puppet Sect?"

The Konoha master on the side spoke, "When it comes to this matter, it's a bit strange.

As everyone knows, the seven-leaf whip and the arbor staff are a pair of magical weapons. The seven-leaf whip was passed to Lingzhu, while the arbor staff is still in Pindao's hands.

When I rushed to Wanshou Temple last night, I found that the storage bag on the young disciple's body had been taken away by the murderer. Pindao immediately thought that he could catch the murderer by using an arbor stick to track the seven-leaf whip.

As a result, Pindao and Junior Brother Xuanming chased him for less than three miles and found the seven-leaf whip in the pond on the outskirts of Anyang City. "

As he spoke, Konoha Master took out a soft whip from his storage bag, as thin as a rattan, about one foot long, with seven green leaves on it.

"Uncle Master, can I lend this magical weapon to my disciples for inspection?"

Konoha Master handed the whip to Master Li Qing without saying a word.

Master Li Qing took the whip and inspected it carefully bit by bit.

Master Konoha said, "My dear nephew, this magical artifact was lost and found. I have looked at it many times. The treasure is indeed intact, but there are no clues left on it."

Xuan Yi always knew his disciples well. Seeing Master Li Qing still staring closely at the seven-leaf whip, he asked, "Master Qing, you seem to have expected that this whip was not taken away by the demon cultivator?"

"Disciple is not sure. I just have some doubts in my mind. I asked casually. I didn't expect it to be true."

"Oh?" Xuan Yi perked up, "Qingshi, is there another mystery behind this matter?"

Master Chili had just talked a lot, and he thought he had clearly analyzed the cause and effect of the matter. From what Master Li Qing said, it seemed that there was something hidden.

He was quite unhappy, "Oh, really? I am very curious, is there another reason for this matter?"

Master Li Qing smiled slightly, "Disciple completely agrees with what Uncle Chili said earlier, but there are still one or two small questions that remain unanswered."

Master Chili looked gentle, "What's the question? Is it the specific time of death, or the weapon used by the murderer?"

"The time of Junior Brother Lingzhu's death has been experienced by all of you just now. It should be between the first and second updates last night. This disciple completely agrees, there is no doubt.

What the disciple was confused about was the cause of his death. There was no real energy left in his body, and it was replaced by thick demonic energy. It seemed that the two sides were fighting fiercely, and all the magic power of Junior Brother Lingzhu was exhausted. "

"Isn't it?" The speaker was Taoist Xuanming.

Master Li Qing shook his head, "A monk's fight not only consumes mana, but also consumes physical strength. If Junior Brother Lingzhu has been fighting for a long time and exhausted his mana, then his physical strength should also be exhausted."

Master Xuan Ming asked, "He has been dead for a long time and his muscles have become rigid. How can you tell that his physical strength is not exhausted?"

“Although the muscles and bones cannot be distinguished, there are still traces, which are pores.

If Junior Brother Lingzhu fought fiercely for a long time, he would definitely be sweating profusely and his pores would be open, but the disciple just examined him for a long time and found no traces of heavy sweating. "

Master Xuan Ming hesitated and said, "What do you mean?"

"Disciple suspects that Junior Brother Lingzhu met the top masters of Demon Puppet Sect, or was attacked by several masters from the other side. Junior Brother Lingzhu couldn't resist, so he missed and was captured after a few moves."

Taoist Chili shook his head repeatedly, disapproving, "What you said is wrong! If Taoist Lingzhu was pierced in the abdomen by the Demon Puppet Sect and died after just one or two moves, then why is his body still filled with demonic energy? The Demon Puppet Sect's people It’s not so boring, let’s torture a corpse!”

Master Li Qing said, "Disciple said he was captured instantly, not fatally with one move."

Master Xuan Ming had already understood and said loudly, "Master Qing, what you mean is that after the Demon Puppet Sect captured Taoist Lingzhu, they tortured him severely and inflicted more pain. During the torture, the true energy in his body was gradually lost to the demons." The qi is eroded, so that in the end there is no spiritual power in the body, but only a belly of demonic energy?"

Everyone in the room was horrified. Master Li Qing nodded slowly, "This is exactly what my disciple guessed."

Taoist Chili was still unconvinced: "This is purely speculation. Do you have any evidence?"
