Yesterday afternoon, Patriarch Gu inspected the valley where Deacon Yu and the others died for an hour, searched carefully, but found nothing unusual, not even a trace of a fight. He was very surprised.
Without a clue, he asked his followers why Deacon Yu and others came to the mountains hundreds of miles away.
Deacon Yu will never come here to die for no reason, there must be a reason, right
In the opinion of Patriarch Gu and the others, as long as they found out the reason why Deacon Yu came here, they would most likely be able to find the murderer.
In theory, this is true.
But the problem is that Deacon Yu's pursuit of Li Cangyue was a temporary idea under the instigation of everyone. He had no intention of leaving the city.
Li Cangyue also chose to kill people here on a temporary basis. There was no warning in advance, and the parties themselves did not know it in advance, let alone others.
Those who encouraged Deacon Yu to chase him out were all dead.
Patriarch Gu returned to the Taoist monastery and questioned a large group of people. All I know is that in the morning, Deacon Yu and the others went out together very excitedly, as if they were going to play somewhere. As for why he went out and where he was going, no one knew.
In fact, it's not that no one knows at all, Luo Song, the Taoist disciple who reported Li Cangyue's departure to Deacon Yu, knew about it.
But when he learned that Deacon Yu and others were dead, Luo Song was terrified.
In the face of homicide, not everyone has the courage to testify.
Luo Song tipped off Deacon Yu, but was also forced by Deacon Yu. Deacon Yu is stingy and never rewarded the people below. It doesn't make sense to ask someone to work for nothing and put down the business at hand to help him monitor Li Cangyue. That disciple sympathized with Li Cangyue, secretly hated Deacon Yu, and was afraid of being implicated and angered, so he kept his mouth shut and did not tell the truth.
People at the bottom of society usually have their own way of dealing with the world wisely and protecting themselves. That is not to get involved in anything irrelevant and risky.
In Luo Song's view, Deacon Yu is dead anyway, as long as he doesn't tell, no one knows what he did inside.
If he had to say it, the Yu family might not reward him, and would blame him for luring Deacon Yu to his death. Why did he take the risk to report Li Cangyue
What's more, Luo Song couldn't be sure that Deacon Yu's matter was related to Li Cangyue.
Li Cangyue is very popular in the Taoist academy, and has a good reputation among his disciples. She seems to be devoted to seeking the Tao and caring about secular affairs.
Luo Song felt that if he reported Li Cangyue, other disciples would know about it, and he might be beaten by the group.
One thing more is worse than one thing less, pretending not to know anything, just get by.
He is an ordinary disciple, he can't even enter the inner court, why bother? Just be careful and live your life well.
After searching for a day, but did not find any useful clues, Patriarch Gu was very depressed.
He secretly complained to Deacon Yu, what the hell, just take a good rest when you are on rotation, what are you doing running around? I didn’t even tell anyone when I went out. Now that I’m dead outside, how can I explain to others
But there is no way, he has to find out some tricks. The ancestor was too lazy to worry about it, so he sent his third disciple, Kong Shangjing, to investigate.
After Kong Shangjing took over, he began to investigate who had feud with Deacon Yu. After digging through the past, he found that Deacon Yu had many enemies, but not many were capable of killing Deacon Yu's gang.
Deacon Yu is not stupid, most of the people he offended were inferior to his deacons or disciples.
He knew that, as his bastard son, if he really offended a powerful force, the Yu family might not try their best to protect him.
But if he was only facing ordinary deacons or disciples, then he would be able to overwhelm those people without opening his mouth.
Kong Shangjing carefully investigated the few people who were capable of killing Deacon Yu, and they were all concubine sons of the Pingtianguan family, who were more outstanding than Deacon Yu. Deacon Yu had some conflicts of interest with those people, but he backed down before forcing them to kill him. When Deacon Yu died, most of these people also had alibi.
Kong Shangjing took over for a day, but he had no clue.
He knew about Li Cangyue's entanglement with Deacon Yu, but he never expected that she would have the ability to kill Deacon Yu. I didn't think she would want to kill Deacon Yu either. Li Cangyue rejected many people.
At this time, in the inner courtyard of Pingtian Temple, Zuo Patriarch's great disciple Han Shanhuai had received the notification that Zuo Liangyu had died. He was shocked and rushed to the scene of the accident with his people.
Li Cangyue chased to the next place where the corpse fell, and saw a man in gray excitedly taking off the storage bag from the corpse, and then he put the corpse away with a wave of his hand.
Xiang Zidan is a disciple of the Lower Court and is doing tasks in this mountain. Hearing loud noises in the morning, I came to check out curiously.
It turned out that a corpse was found, and he went forward to check it, and found that it was the clothes of the disciples in the inner courtyard, and there were many magic weapons and treasures on him. He suddenly became greedy. Seeing no one around, he immediately started.
He knew that once these people died, someone from the inner court would come to check on them immediately. He wanted to take the stored treasure, collect the corpse, and run away immediately. After walking far away, find a secluded place to dispose of the corpse. In this way, no one will know that he picked up a big deal.
Seeing that the gray-robed man was about to ride away on the giant wolf monster pet. Li Cangyue snorted coldly, and the spell was activated.
Xiang Zidan fell to the ground and died, and his giant wolf also fell to the ground and died.
Li Cangyue let out a bad breath, and continued to do the work that Xiang Zidan hadn't finished.
After hastily packing up the loot and corpses, Li Cangyue flew towards Jiping on Xiaoshi.
Flying a hundred miles away, I saw the two Taoists in front flying towards me riding on the demon pet.
The two Taoists received Han Shanhuai's flying letter and came to investigate and intercept Zuo Liangyu's murderer.
Han Shanhuai's reaction was quick. As soon as he got the news, he took his own people to fly to the accident site. At the same time, he notified the Taoist priests who were three hundred miles away from the accident site. An encirclement circle was set up in a short while, and a large number of Taoist priests were shrinking from the outside to the inside.
The two Taoist priests immediately became suspicious when they saw a masked woman flying towards the place where the incident happened.
A Taoist priest shouted sharply: "Stop! Who are you? Where are you going?"
As soon as Li Cangyue heard this tone, she felt something was wrong.
Looking at the expressions of the two Taoist priests who were ready to attack at any time, they knew something was wrong.
Because strangers meet in the air, most of them will not strike up a conversation, usually they just look at each other warily.
She is also a young girl. When a man meets her for the first time, even if he does not know that she is beautiful, he will be more polite and not so fierce.
She secretly sighed, thinking: Pingtian Temple responds so quickly, it really is very troublesome once a true disciple dies. It is also my luck that these two Taoists are so alert. If they hadn't shouted this, I would fly over in a daze. It would be bad if they reported my appearance later.
Thinking of this, she activated her curse spell, and the two Taoists died without a sound.
Li Cangyue collected the corpse in the air, then rose to high altitude and fled quickly without stopping.
In the air, she saw many Taoists encircling Qingshang Mountain, and she couldn't help being afraid for a while.
