The next morning, while Rong Qing was still asleep, she heard the ringing of the golden bell of Xuande Hall. The golden bell is a magic weapon refined by the founder of Lingju Peak for the Lingyun sect. Disciples and core disciples must gather at Xuande Hall.
Rong Qing was yawning while putting on his clothes. Last night he practiced alchemy too late. He wanted to sleep a little longer during the day, but he was woken up by the golden bell before he slept for two hours. A pair of dark circles were evident under his eyes. At this time, I will be envious of those female cultivators. You can cover it with some gouache or something.
As soon as he came out of the cave, he ran into He Tian and Mu Mu, Rong Qing cried out inwardly, and it was too late to turn around and avoid them.
"Hey! Rong Qing, where did you get out of here last night? Who hit you in the eye? Could it be that you fell in love with some famous senior sister or brother who was taught a lesson? Don't be afraid! Tell me Who am I, I will take a few brothers to avenge you later, and let everyone know that Rong Qing is not easy to mess with!"
As far as He Tian's mouth is concerned, Rong Qing is also convinced. It is really determined that Mu Mu has not been led astray when he is with He Tian every day.
Rong Qing gave He Tian a hard look, "Can't you expect me to order?"
"I would like to, but you didn't give me this chance! I didn't say that you indulged too much because of your usual friendship."
"Who indulges too much?"
When He Tian heard the voice that appeared out of nowhere, his expression instantly became extremely serious, and he turned to He Lian Hongzhan who appeared behind him at some point and said, "It's Rong Qing! He said that he had dark circles under his eyes because of excessive sexual indulgence. I am teaching him to be temperate, to be careful of his body being hollowed out, and now these male and female nuns are very powerful, all of them look like goblins!"
Hey hey! How can this person open his eyes and talk nonsense? When did he say he was overindulging? When did He Tian educate him? Are they in the same space? The difference in this experience is a bit big!
Helian Hongzhan looked at Rong Qing, with sharp eyes and brows.
"Excessive sex? Why didn't I know that you had an over-indulgent partner?"
"Brother, what you said is wrong." He Tian jumped ahead of Rong Qing once again, as if he wanted to help Rong Qing, "Although Rong Qing is the only disciple of brother, but the disciple also has a private life. You don’t have to tell your master everything, do you? As long as Rong Qing’s cultivation can continue to improve, senior brother, you don’t have to be so lenient!”
Having tricked Rong Qing just now, He Tian felt that it was necessary to say a few words for Rong Qing, otherwise it would not be easy to find Rong Qing forging weapons in the future. However, he didn't know that it would be better not to say a few words to help, Helian Hongzhan's face was even uglier than before.
Seeing that the volcano was about to erupt, Rong Qing hurried to Helian Hongzhan, hugged the latter's arm and said sincerely: "Master, please don't listen to He Tian's nonsense, this disciple only got it because he practiced too late last night. Dark circles under the eyes, and then it was said that he went out to fool around, and when the disciple refuted it, he changed his words and said that the disciple indulged too much."
... He Tian's face cramped, is Rong Qing going to betray him so thoroughly? Why is this guy so cowardly in front of Senior Brother Helian
He Lian Hongzhan nodded in satisfaction, he knew that Rong Qing couldn't have someone who indulged too much, and as a master, he knew nothing about his disciple's private life.
"The golden bell is ringing. Something must have happened. Hurry up and gather at the Xuande Hall. Rong Qing will follow me. As for He Tian's bullying of Rong Qing, we will discuss it when we come back!"
So He Tian and Mu Mu watched Helian Hongzhan call out the flying sword handsomely, and stood up with Rong Qing. Gone in the blink of an eye.
He Tian looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, "Brother Mu, do you think Brother Helian's cultivation has improved again? I remember that he didn't have such a speed during the Three Jewels Competition, is this progress too fast? "
"Don't judge a genius like Senior Brother Helian with our ordinary eyes."
"...Your words are not unreasonable!"
After a stick of incense, everyone gathered in the Xuande Hall.
Rong Qing saw a dead body covered with a white cloth lying on the ground in the middle of the main hall. A corner of the clothes was exposed, which turned out to be the clothes of the core disciples.
He was startled suddenly, and a chill suddenly rushed up in his heart. He looked around immediately with slightly anxious eyes, and he was relieved when he saw Ouyang Jing standing not far in front of him in good health.
Ouyang Jing happened to meet Rong Qing's eyes, thinking that the other party was looking at him for something, so he was about to walk over, but saw Helian Hongzhan suddenly stepped in front of Rong Qing, blocking his sight.
Rong Qing was taken aback, "Master?"
Helian Hongzhan had a cold face, and the words "I'm very upset" were almost clearly written on his forehead.
"You have a good relationship with Ouyang Jing?"
Just as Rong Qing was about to answer, He Tian appeared out of nowhere, "I also think that Rong Qing and Senior Brother Ouyang have a very good relationship, and they even flirt with each other."
I pass it on to your sister! ! Why are you everywhere? !
"Hey, can you take some responsibility for what you say? What do you mean by flirting? Send me a look!" Rong Qing really couldn't laugh or cry, he couldn't understand why He Tian always had such nasty thoughts!
He Tian pouted, "We all saw it just now, you were worried about Senior Brother Ouyang when you saw the corpse, and then you breathed a sigh of relief when you saw Senior Brother Ouyang, Senior Brother Ouyang even smiled at you, I didn't know before that He can still laugh. If you say you have a bad relationship, who will believe it?"
"Senior brother Ouyang has helped me many times. As long as it's not a white-eyed wolf, it's normal to worry about this kind of thing? Master is also angry because of this? The disciple is not an ungrateful villain. The disciple who is good to the disciple knows it and will do it in the future. Repay one by one, the disciple does not want to owe favors to anyone other than the master!"
Rong Qing paused after saying the last sentence, he opened his mouth, a little at a loss, lowered his eyes and turned to the side.
Helian Hongzhan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Rong Qing with deeper eyes, "Why can you only owe me?"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. He Tian, who felt as if he had gotten into trouble, turned around and hid behind Mu Mu, hoping that the two of them could ignore his existence.
Rong Qing smiled awkwardly, "It's a slip of the tongue from the disciple. You can't owe favors to anyone, and of course you can't owe master either."
"That's not what you said just now. It's fine if you don't want to continue talking about it. Change the subject. What kind of enmity is there between you and the head? He..."
Before Helian Hongzhan finished speaking, the golden bell rang again. The sound of the shrunken golden bell was not so deafening, but it was still enough for everyone in the hall to hear.
Zhen Xuzi sat on the high seat of the head, and several elders sat on the lower seat, all of them looked serious.
"Last night, an extremely serious and vile incident happened to me, Lingyun. The core disciple Zhu Wuguo was brutally murdered in his own cave, and his head was in a different place."
Although many people had already guessed that the corpse on the ground was Zhu Wuguo, because all the core disciples had arrived, only Zhu Wuguo did not show up, but hearing the headmaster's direct confirmation caused an uproar.
The status of the core disciples in Lingyun is so high, and Zhu Wuguo has been deeply loved by Nongmei Daojun for many years. Even if he has a bad relationship with the other core disciples, he is doing well in Lingyun. There are many people who follow him. few.
It's just that these people either came together because of interests or succumbed to Zhu Wuguo's lust, so no one really felt sad for Zhu Wuguo's death. It's been so long since I've been to Xuande Hall, and no one even lifted the white cloth to take a look. The head of the sect personally confirmed that the deceased was Zhu Wuguo, and no one was crying sadly, not even with red eye circles.
Nongmei Daojun's face was as ugly as if it had been covered with a layer of green mud from the beginning to the end. He knew that his disciple's popularity was poor, but he didn't know that it was already so bad. Her face as a master is also dull.
Zhen Xuzi looked at the expressions of everyone intentionally or unintentionally, and continued: "Zhu Wuguo is at the Jindan period, and if he can kill him quietly, his cultivation must be higher than Zhu Wuguo, and it is very likely that he is Jindan stage. In the middle or late stage of alchemy. Although on the surface, only He Lian and Ouyang, the elders and... this sect master seem to be in line with their cultivation, but now there is no way to hide their cultivation. This sect master does not want to doubt the disciples in the sect, But this matter will be investigated to the end no matter what, and Zhu Wuguo and Ling Meifeng must be given an explanation.
In addition, there is another point that needs to be paid attention to. The murderer is very likely to be still in Lingyun, and it is very likely to commit another murder. During this period of time, you must maintain a high degree of vigilance, even for acquaintances around you, you must not be completely defenseless. When going out, it is best to go with two or three people. If you find someone acting suspiciously, you must report it immediately.
That's all I want to talk about today, you all go away, hurry up and practice hard, only a superior cultivation is the best way to save your life. "
Everyone retreated one after another, and all the elders stayed, probably to study Zhu Wuguo's corpse carefully with the sect leader, to see if they could find any clues from the corpse.
Rong Qing also wanted to stay and take a look, but unfortunately he didn't have a valid reason.
Zhen Xuzi said that Zhu Wuguo has a different head, but among the many spells in the cultivation world, there are not many people who have a different head. After all, there are many ways to understand a person's life. It should be troublesome to compare prices, and it’s the easiest way to pierce the heart or wipe the throat.
Furthermore, most of the spells that can make people decapitate are close-up spells. But Zhu Wuguo's cultivation level is not low, and it is impossible to let strangers get close easily. Maybe this is why Zhen Xuzi suspects that the murderer is a disciple in the sect. If it is someone he knows, Zhu Wuguo is naturally not so wary. He is the only one who hides in the dark, and the one who is always on guard in his heart is Zhen Xuzi. But now it seems that there should be another force in Ling Yun. It is not known what the purpose of the other party is, and it is not clear how much it has infiltrated Ling Yun. To be able to kill Zhu Wuguo so easily, the most important thing is that there was no movement at all. Apart from the prior layout, the murderer himself had extraordinary abilities.
If it is said that besides the core disciples, there are really other Golden Core cultivators in Ling Yunli, who might they be
Rong Qing was very irritable, this feeling of ignorance of hidden dangers made him very anxious, and even reminded him of what happened in his previous life.
This also made him realize that he has not completely come out of the shadow of being hunted down and killed in his previous life. As long as there is an opportunity, those painful memories are like dust on a book that has been left unused for a long time. Can spread out.
