"—The chief escort of Young Master Yan is dead!"
Yi Tinglan just arrived when she heard this sentence.
Her face suddenly changed, and she had already thought of the possible consequences of this matter: "Not good!"
But just after this idea emerged, there was a bigger commotion outside, which attracted everyone who heard the news and rushed to him.
There was already a sea of flames in the original pastry shop, and several figures rushed out of the sea of flames, one of them still had a person in his hand.
Isn't that familiar, bloodless face the one that Yi Tinglan had seen not long ago? Yan Shao's bodyguard
The one who rescued them was a skinny young Taoist, named Xuanzhen, a disciple of the Lord Yichen Guan, with outstanding talents, under thirty years old, and a martial arts practitioner who had already ranked among the first-class in the world .
He was wearing a blue and white Taoist robe, which should have been very handsome on weekdays. He was unrestrained and elegant, but at this time he was a bit embarrassed, and even the corners of the robe were scorched by the flames.
Xuanzhen didn't care about his usual chic and calm demeanor, as soon as he got out of the flames, he hurriedly put down the boy he was carrying, and didn't even have time to catch his breath.
He touched the opponent's pulse, but after a few breaths, he shook his head heavily, lowered his eyes and sighed: "It's still a step too late, the person is already dead."
The flames were raging in the sky behind, and this short alley was almost full of masters from all walks of life at this moment. Everyone's eyes were focused on the corpses on the ground. The atmosphere of the scene So quiet and dead? Weird.
You know, during this period of time, Xuanyue Sect, Yichen Temple, Guanchan Temple, Hanshan Sect, Ranxue Pavilion, Qiushui Mountain Villa, these six schools of righteousness have all sent important figures to Anyang Mansion. For the legendary fairy stone.
Originally, they were dubious, but as long as everyone saw the other side of the original, they would no longer have the slightest doubt.
It was hard for them to imagine that such a teenager, who was only in his teens, had only read the martial art of his sect once, and could immediately give targeted advice. Every person who met him in private and did not agree with him suddenly realized in his guidance that he not only made up for the shortcomings, but also made progress.
——If this is not the magic of the fairy stone, are they supposed to believe that there are such terrifying people in the world, and they can be seen through with one face-to-face? If this is the case, what is the use of working hard for decades
—In this world? There are such people, so perverted? People can't believe that he is only relying on his own? Ability, he must make up a golden finger to feel at ease.
The inhuman state that I didn't show because of this completely convinced the six sects of the righteous way that the immortal stone was true.
Perhaps, Shattering the Void is not a luxury
The higher the level of martial arts, the more eager to know the secret of the fairy stone. They didn't even pay attention to the brat "Yan Shao Escort"—no matter what, they always have a way to get this secret from the other party. What really scares everyone? Instead, is each other. After all, each faction only wants to share this amazing secret.
But just when these people were racking their brains to eliminate other opponents, the "Yan Shao escort" who held all the core secrets died just like that? ?
At this moment, everyone seems to have experienced the sudden drop of hope, falling from the sky to hell.
There was only deathly silence in Ten Mile Alley.
Everyone's face? Are deadpan.
Until? A voice broke the sudden? Silence.
Not long after arriving, Zhou Qinghe suddenly pushed aside the crowd and took a step forward: "Wait a minute, let me have a look. Maybe the dead one isn't the real? Yan Shao's bodyguard!"
As soon as he reminded them, everyone came to their senses: "That's right, just because of the secret of the fairy stone, the life of Yan Shao's bodyguard shouldn't be killed like this. Maybe the thief behind the scenes has taken the real... The head of Yan Shao's bodyguard has been kidnapped, this is nothing more than a trick to confuse us."
Surrounding this pastry shop are several masters from the Six Sects of the Righteous Way. Even if a master sneaks in, they can only deceive everyone for half an hour at most. With their strength, they will soon find out that they are unfamiliar. Human breath.
And with this little time, it would be too late if he wanted to torture the secret from the mouth of "Yan Shao's bodyguard" and then kill him. There are only two ways to choose, either? Kill people, or? Quickly take people away before other people react.
But isn't the value of this "Head of Young Master Yan" lies in the unspoken secret? What's the point of killing him without the secret of the fairy stone
Those present? Everyone is not a dull person? After hearing Zhou Shenchuang's words, they immediately understood the key point, and their hearts were filled with confidence.
Seeing that everyone changed their gloomy expressions just now, Yi Tinglan who was standing alone couldn't help but frowned.
"Is that true..."
There is always something bad in her heart? Premonition.
"Bright Moon Chapter" learns from nature, cultivates to the highest level, and the mind is as clear as the bright moon, which can reflect everything in the world. The patriarch who created this article once put forward an idea: if he can really cultivate to the imaginary highest level, he may be able to reach the level that the ancients said "the cicadas are aware before the autumn wind blows". There are warning signs.
Although Yi Tinglan couldn't reach this level, years of practicing "Mingyue Chapter" still gave her a spiritual sense beyond ordinary people. At this time, her spiritual sense was already a little bit bad.
But others are immersed in this well-founded speculation—or, in desperation, they would rather believe that "Yan Shao Escort" is not dead yet.
A few young heroes immediately said angrily: "Probably so! This person first throws out a fake to disturb our minds and delay time. If Zhou Shen is not alert, wait for us to find out the truth, and then go to someone. The thief is probably already out of Anyang Mansion!"
"Yeah, it's not too late, we can't let his scheme succeed, let's go after him quickly—"
"No." Zhou Qinghe, the silent autopsy next to him, stood up, and personally denied his guess just now, "Is it true? Yan Shao's bodyguard is really dead."
After a moment of silence, everyone shouted, "Impossible!"
It was hard to find hope, and then the hope was shattered in an instant? The feeling is really uncomfortable, and it is really difficult for them to accept such a fact.
However, Zhou Qinghe ignored the attitudes of these people, and continued to say: "Bone Age is right? There is no trace of disguise, and there is still an unhealed dark wound left by the Tianyi Pavilion killer in the body, and the deeds on the body The kung fu route is also consistent with Jinghong Dao - this is the out-and-out? Young Master Yan's bodyguard. As for the cause of death..." Speaking of this, he frowned in confusion and glanced at Yi Tinglan.
Others quickly asked: "What is the cause of death? Surely Zhou Shenbu will be able to find out who the murderer is?"
At this time? They seemed to be watching a gold mine being destroyed before their eyes. While gnashing their teeth, they hated the person who did it to the extreme.
Yi Tinglan felt more and more bad, but couldn't think of it for a while? What? Okay? There is a way to stop it.
Sure enough, the next moment, Zhou Qinghe uttered three words in a solemn tone: "Tianyuan Sword!"
Everyone changed color.
"Heavenly Abyss Sword? Isn't it that person's? Swordsmanship?"
For a moment, countless pairs of eyes focused on Yi Tinglan and the elders of Xuanyue Sect.
The young people are fine. Those older people from the rivers and lakes all think of that man more than ten years ago.
With only one sword, he defeated the countless masters of the righteous and the devil, Chu Tiannan, who was vaguely known as the world's number one sword.
Even though more than ten years have passed, the legend left by that person in the Jianghu has not dissipated. The entanglement between the No. 1 sword in the world and the saintesses of the Xuanyue Sect and the Fenyan Sacred Sect is still being secretly circulated among many people.
A middle-aged man with slightly white hair on his temples and a strong figure spoke first: "Elder Yue? I don't remember wrongly? I mean, the great hero of Chu Tian Nan Chu went to Xuan Yue Zong before he returned to hermitage? ?Experience compiled a ?cheat book called "Tianyuan Sword Jue" and handed it over to Sect Master Xuanyue Sect Rong. Isn't this a fake? "
Reminiscent of those vague and ambiguous rumors back then, everyone's eyes became more and more strange.
The elder Xuanyuezong who was called "Elder Yue" took a step forward helplessly, and explained: "What Yu Daxia said is true, and martial arts practice should not be cherished with a broom. I, Xuanyuezong, also took out the "Mingyue Chapter". The third floor is given to the Great Xia Chu to gain enlightenment, everyone will get something, and everyone will be happy."
Everyone nodded their faces, but they didn't believe it in their hearts.
At that time, Chu Tiannan was almost half a foot away from becoming a great master, and his own martial arts practice had reached an unbelievable level. Even if the "Bright Moon Chapter" was indeed a supernatural skill, how useful would it be to him? Woolen cloth? At best? It's just a little analogy.
And based on his affection for Rong Qingyue, he would never leak "Mingyue Chapter", on the contrary, he would have a deeper affection for Xuanyuezong who gave the core exercises to Dafang.
Xuan Yuezong made a good plan! However, I gave away a magical skill that would never be leaked, but attracted an invincible? master, and even earned a copy of the magic skill that is not inferior to "Mingyue Chapter"—"Mingyue Chapter" Right? Chu Tiannan, who has gone out of his own way, is not of much use to top masters, but "Tianyuan Sword Art" is of great use to Xuan Yuezong. Up to the elders, down to the disciples, as long as one person succeeds in cultivation, there will be no loss.
Thinking of this, even the other orthodox sects couldn't help feeling sour in their hearts.
However, pantothenic acid is not the point at this time. The point is that the murderer who shot and killed "Yan Shao's bodyguard" used a move that came from "Heavenly Abyss Sword Art"!
The middle-aged man known as "Hero Yu" looked at the two of Yi Tinglan with even more suspicion, and he took another step closer: "When the incident happened tonight, Xuanzhen Xiaodao, Zen Master Yiye, and Han Zhuang of Qiushui Villa The master, as well as Yu himself, were drinking tea in the teahouse opposite. With the abilities of the four of us, we only noticed a sudden breath in the pastry shop—”
His? How many people can there be?"
Zhou Qinghe took it naturally? Then he said: "Naturally, it is Tianyuan Sword Master himself, Rong Zongzhu is one, and Miss Yi, in my opinion, I am afraid that she is also a good swordsman, but I don't know if she can cultivate Tianyuan Sword tactics..."
When he said this, many people's eyes were already focused on Yi Tinglan.
But Yi Tinglan had no choice but to smile: "God Zhou has good eyesight, Tinglan? He has indeed mastered the Tianyuan Sword Art."
However, Zhou Qinghe waved his folding fan and continued: "... As for whether there are other people from Xuanyue Sect who have mastered the Tianyuan Sword Art, maybe Zhou has no idea if the Great Xia Chu has taken in other disciples over the years."
Things are now clear.
Seeing that many people's eyes were focused on her, with deep suspicion and courage, Yi Tinglan could not help but frowned, and explained: "Everyone, this may be a trick of the Demon Sect, everyone. ? Don't fall into the trap. Exactly like Yu Daxia said, if you want to accomplish this, you must at least be a master, and you all overestimate Ting Lan."
She has a beautiful appearance and a calm expression. Even in such an unfavorable situation, her tone is still calm and calm, like a spring breeze, which really makes people feel good.
But Yu Daxia didn't like this, and immediately retorted: "Who doesn't know that the saints of Xuanyue Sect are all famous? Geniuses? Maybe Miss Yi, you have a master cultivation level? Even if we overestimate Without you, you won't overestimate Sect Master Rong, right?"
What he said clearly hinted that Rong Qingyue had been hiding in the dark, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness to strike.
Yi Tinglan, who always seemed to be good-tempered, changed his gaze when he heard him insulting his teacher. Elder Yue, who was even hotter, said angrily, "Hero Yu speaks carefully!"
Yi Tinglan grabbed Elder Yue's hand, took a step forward and said, "If this matter was really done by my Xuan Yue Sect, how could there be such an obvious flaw? I hope you don't get caught behind the scenes." Those who provoked me fell into the trap."
What do you say? It makes sense, and it calmed down many people.
"Maybe the person who made the shot thought so too?" Daxia Yu suddenly murmured.
This seems to make sense, and everyone began to doubt again.
Yi Tinglan: "..."
Rao was usually gentle and easy to talk, but at this moment, there was a faint murderous intent in her heart. Looking at this shit-stirring man? Hero Yu, his eyes showed a coldness.
But Yu Daxia seemed to ignore her gaze, and asked a fatal question: "Even if someone really framed him, who can use the Tianyuan Sword Art? Could it be that the immortal stone was born, and Chu Tiannan Chu Daxia?" Xia Jing is very eager to move, so he also came to this river and lake for a while?"
After saying this, he seemed to suddenly realize: "Could it be that this is the truth? After all, it is a fairy stone. It is not surprising that it can attract the heart of the great hero Chu."
After asking and answering, he turned his strange eyes to Yi Tinglan who was stunned on the spot.
Including Yi Tinglan, so many people actually understood the meaning in his eyes—
Was Xuan Yuezong responsible for this matter? But Chu Tiannan was blamed? Or was it Chu Tiannan who did it? So Xuan Yuezong was blamed? Or, did this hero Chu act only for his old lover
Yi Tinglan's jade face was slightly reddened by this meaningful gaze, showing a little more shame and indignation, not as calm and calm as before.
Impulsively, she blurted out: "Maybe Yu has forgotten everyone's conjectures. In less than half a quarter of an hour, there is no way to torture the secret. If he really came here for the secret of the fairy stone, he would have killed Yan Shao's bodyguard. What's the use?"
Zhou Qinghe, who had been silent just now, suddenly said, "It's because? The murderer already knows the secret."
He sighed softly, and looked at Yi Tinglan, whose expression had changed slightly: "Maybe Miss Yi didn't know, but shortly after you left the pastry shop, Yan Shao's bodyguard sent away the old ones in the shop overnight." Younger. Before leaving, did that young man come to look for it? I have a word for Yan Shao's escort."
As he spoke, he took out a note, on which was a line of Yan Feichi's own handwriting: "Zhou Shenzhang, right? Don't stop, Yan is about to renege on his promise."
See? Everyone was puzzled, Zhou Qinghe coughed twice, and explained with a little embarrassment: "This matter has something to do with Miss Yi. The day before yesterday I heard that Miss Yi came? a few words… "
"That day he swore that he would never break his promise and reveal the secret of the fairy stone to Miss Yi. He also promised? As long as I can find out where the Tianyi Pavilion is, he will be the first to tell me the secret of the fairy stone."
Speaking of? Here, he smiled wryly.
—Now the facts are obvious. "Yan Shao's bodyguard" dismissed his servants again, and gave words again. He had clearly leaked the secret to Yi Tinglan, got the promise from Xuan Yuezong, and began to prepare for his departure as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, he failed to leave and was murdered instead.
Zhou Qinghe used his ingenuity again, and analyzed: "I am the only one who knows about this note, except for the servant who has already left. I think if Miss Lai Yi knew about it in advance... the head of Yan Shao's escort He wouldn’t die without knowing why.”
Speaking of this, he sighed again: "I'm afraid the head of Yan Shao's bodyguard never thought that he would rather give up the hatred of extermination of the clan and dedicate the secret of the fairy stone to his sweetheart, but this sweetheart turned away." The head killed him."
"No..." Yi Tinglan still wanted to argue.
It's a pity that after all these repeated arguments, no one believed her words anymore. What's more? What's more, Xuanyuezong still has the lessons learned from Chu Tiannan
Even Elder Yue? He was a little surprised and uncertain.
She sneaked a glance at Yi Tinglan, wondering in her heart, could it be true? Was it the Xuanyue Sect's doing? It's just that the Sect Master and the Saintess didn't tell her
Thinking this way, Elder Yue? He couldn't help but secretly blame the suzerain and the saintess for their unreliable work. If she had known earlier, she would have dealt with the aftermath properly.
Yi Tinglan: "..."
No, I don't, I'm not, it's okay with me.
But she couldn't think of a reasonable reason.
A pair of skeptical eyes fell on her? Yi Tinglan was at a loss for words.
What the "Yan Shao escort" did? What he did? It was too suspicious, and he almost pointed all the suspicions at her—but why? Why did he do this? Using your own death to frame her, is it coercion
At this moment, everything that happened in the pastry shop before, from the time she stepped into the yard until she came out, all the conversations with the other party came to mind, and Yi Tinglan was captured from the beginning to the end Read it over.
She was suddenly blessed to the heart: "No, everyone? You are thinking wrong, the head of Yan Shao's bodyguard from before is a fake?!"
