Lu Xiao pondered for a moment, and continued to ask a few more questions, but did not ask more things.
Lin Yurong's disordered aura had just calmed down, and he was still very weak. After saying a few more words, he began to pant again. Qiu Yutong was embarrassed to bother her any more, so she took Lu Xiao back to Cuilin Habitat.
After returning to Cuilin Guest House, it was almost dusk.
After hearing Lin Yurong's words just now, Qiu Yutong's heart was in a mess all the time, and she was not in the mood to have dinner. She just leaned against the door of the house, staring at the faint glow in the sky.
At this moment, can Shuo Xuecheng see the sunset? Brothers, are you watching the sunset too
Qiu Yutong vaguely remembered that when he and the third senior brother were young, they lived on the Yunxia Peak of the senior brother who was the head of the sect before they were assigned to their respective peaks. Canglong Snow Mountain, as if contemplating something.
How old was I at that time, and I once asked curiously, "Senior brother, what are you thinking?"
The senior brother in charge didn't answer, just sighed softly and patted his head.
At that time, what was the senior brother in charge thinking
He was still very young at the time, so he didn't know the situation of Shuo Xuecheng. Later, he learned that Shuo Xuecheng was extremely difficult at that time, and even the continuous spiritual mines in Canglong Snow Mountain could hardly be kept. With a low face, the four parties struggled to retain the last bit of foundation...
Thinking of this, Qiu Yutong couldn't help closing his eyes, he didn't know what he was worried about, or in other words, deep down in his heart, he actually knew what he was worried about, but he just didn't want to think about it.
There was a slight sound of footsteps behind him, followed by Lu Xiao's deep voice, "Master, have some hot tea."
"Yeah." Qiu Yutong came back from the memory, took a cup of steaming fragrant tea from his apprentice, and took a sip absently, "You should go back to rest early."
Lu Xiao did not leave, but looked down at him with hesitant expression, as if hesitating to speak.
"What do you want to say? Just say it." Qiu Yutong turned back to the room, put the slightly hot tea cup on the table, and said calmly.
"Master, I think... maybe there is something wrong with City Lord Xie." Lu Xiao thought for a while before saying carefully.
Qiu Yutong felt a tightness in her chest.
He had already guessed what Lu Xiao was going to say, but when Lu Xiao really said it, he still felt extremely uncomfortable.
He barely suppressed the complex emotions churning in his chest, lowered his eyes, and did not answer.
Lu Xiao continued, "Master, in fact, after hearing what Lin Yurong said, you also feel a little strange, don't you?"
"What's so strange?"
"Lin Yurong is weak, he doesn't look like a liar, and it doesn't make any sense for him to tell such a lie. So, if Lin Yurong is not lying, then City Lord Xie is lying."
"What do you mean?" Qiu Yutong felt an indescribable irritability, and couldn't help standing up suddenly, circling around the room, "Even if, even if the senior brother took the initiative to ask for that turtle shell, then Nothing!"
"Since it's nothing, why did City Lord Xie say that Lin Yurong entrusted him with the spirit turtle shell on his own initiative?"
"Perhaps it was just a slip of the tongue! Besides, is there a big difference between the brother who is the head of the sect asking for it, or the master Lin who entrusts it?" Qiu Yutong said sullenly.
"How big is the difference, doesn't Master know? If the tortoise shell was entrusted to him by Lin Yurong on his own initiative, it means that City Lord Xie has no regard for the Blood Prison Secret Realm, the Cuiwei Cold Pool, or even that... magic pill. Not very interested. However, if he asked for the turtle shell on his own initiative, it means that City Lord Xie wanted to find Cuiwei Hantan many years ago, and his purpose was naturally... "
Lu Xiao looked at Qiu Yutong and didn't continue, but the meaning was already clear.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Qiu Yutong was extremely agitated by him, and her voice raised involuntarily.
"Master naturally understands what I want to say, otherwise, Master would not be so irritable." Lu Xiao sighed, "Actually, I have doubts a long time ago... But, there is one point that I have never wanted to understand. .”
"Where?"
"The magic pills that were lost back then were actually two. The first one was the one we got from the bottom of the Cuiwei Cold Pool. At that time, Master gave it to Master Wuchen for his safekeeping. But on the second day, Master Wuchen was beheaded, and the magic pill was nowhere to be found."
Having said that, Lu Xiao paused for a while, then continued.
"At that time, Gui Wuya was furious. He summoned the Ten Thousand Insect Cauldron and used a blood-tailed scorpion in the cauldron to examine all the monks present. Moreover, he deliberately stopped in front of City Lord Xie. It took me half a cup of tea, but the blood-tailed scorpion remained completely unresponsive."
Qiu Yutong also thought of this, and couldn't help but relax slightly, "That's right, the blood-tailed scorpion is very sensitive to demonic energy, since it didn't respond to the senior brother in the slightest, it means that the first magic pill was stolen, followed by the master Brother Men has nothing to do with it!"
"At that time, I thought so too. If Master Wuchen's death and the theft of the first magic pill had nothing to do with City Lord Xie, then the murderer must be someone else. And the loss of my own magic pill, Perhaps it was the murderer who did it."
Speaking of this, Lu Xiao frowned, "However, I have spent a lot of effort over the years, but I have not found such a person. Later, I also doubted Gui Wuya..."
Listening to the little apprentice's words, Qiu Yutong suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but look up at the other party, "By the way, Gui Wuya disappeared two years ago, and Chen Wushang and Tu Wuwei were skinned alive... these things, is it true?" Didn't you do it?"
Lu Xiao was silent for a while, and then admitted very straightforwardly, "I was indeed responsible for the incident between Chen Wushang and Tu Wuwei. But Gui Wuya's disappearance has nothing to do with me, and I have been looking for him all the time."
"You skinned Chen Wushang and Tu Wuwei alive, and hung them upside down on the gate of the North Sea Sword Sect?" Qiu Yutong said shyly.
"Master, if they treat you like that, even if I torture them thousands of times, and even extract their souls, it will not be an exaggeration." Lu Xiao said in a deep voice.
Qiu Yutong stared at him blankly and didn't speak for a long time.
Lu Xiao pursed his lips, and said sullenly: "Even if the master thinks that I have acted cruelly and wants to punish me, I will still do so."
"..." Qiu Yutong looked at him, sighed suddenly, raised her hand to stroke the little apprentice's hair, "Oh, Xiao'er, you."
It's been a long time since he called Lu Xiao that. Lu Xiao was obviously taken aback, and then his voice trembled, "Master?"
"Xiao'er, don't do this in the future. I will avenge my own revenge. But I didn't blame you...how can I blame you for this kind of thing?"
Lu Xiao's breathing was short for a moment, and his dark eyes were fixed on Qiu Yutong, as if he was judging something.
Qiu Yutong was a little embarrassed by him, and was about to say something, but felt her waist tightened slightly, and then a cool and soft thin lips tentatively touched his temples.
The little apprentice's voice was hoarse, "Master, don't you blame me for those things before?"
"...don't be like this." Qiu Yutong hesitated for a moment, but still pushed the other party's hand away, and said in a low voice, "Xiao'er, until I figure out what happened back then, I don't want to trust anyone anymore, and I can't be with you. This way... affectionate."
Lu Xiao didn't force him, just said softly: "Okay, I'll just wait."
"Yeah." Qiu Yutong didn't say anything, just sat by the bed, thinking about many things in these years.
Four turtle shells... Two stolen magic pills... The unresponsive blood-tailed scorpion... Gui Wuya's disappearance...
The person who killed Master Wuchen and took the first magic pill must not be the senior brother in charge. If it was the senior brother in charge, why did Gui Wuya's blood-tailed scorpion not respond at all
That's right, at that time, the only monks who hadn't been checked by the blood-tailed scorpion were the monks from Nanshan Temple, and Gui Wuya himself.
what is going on…
We must go back to Syracuse as soon as possible to find out everything.
Qiu Yutong thought about it for a while, only to feel a splitting headache, so she dismissed Lu Xiao and went to bed early.
…
The next day, the two bid farewell to the Lin brothers and planned to return to Shuo Xuecheng.
Lin Yurong and Lin Zhufeng sent them all the way to the pier of Miaoyin Island, Lin Zhufeng looked at Qiu Yutong eagerly, his eyes were extremely reluctant, and Lu Xiao kept staring at him fiercely.
But with Qiu Yutong at the side, Lin Zhufeng wasn't too afraid of Lu Xiao, and he still reluctantly said: "Lord Qiufeng, I will go to Shuo Xuecheng to seek your advice after I have completed my swordsmanship."
"Zhufeng, your aura and swordsmanship foundations are very good, and you will definitely achieve something in the future."
Having said that, Qiu Yutong paused for a moment, then took out a thin roll of booklet from her arms, turned around and handed it to Lin Yurong, "Palace Master Lin, I have been taking care of you these days. The set of swordsmanship that I realized in Li, the sword intent is softer and can be used in conjunction with the rhythm, I think it may be suitable for you."
Lin Yurong was stunned, "This, is this for me?"
It's no wonder that Lin Yurong was so surprised. In the world of comprehension, the heart scriptures and sword manuals of various sects are extremely precious treasures, how could they be given to others so easily? It's just that Qiu Yu Tongsheng is open-minded and simple, and doesn't care about these rules and regulations. Even his natal sword technique "Nine Questions Sword Technique", if no one knows it, he will probably find someone to teach it, so that he can compete with himself.
Lu Xiao stared at the thin booklet, his expression was extremely displeased.
Qiu Yutong guessed what this kid was thinking, and couldn't help but rolled her eyes secretly, but she couldn't say anything more, so she could only comfort her in a low voice: "Xiao'er, don't be like this. I haven't written you enough sword manuals before. ?"
"Oh." Lu Xiao muffled.
The four chatted farewell, and then Qiu Yutong and Lu Xiao, under the watchful eye of the Lin family brothers, drove Amaterasu Cloud Sea together and left Miaoyin Island.
Miaoyin Island and Shuo Xuecheng, one is in the southeast of Chen Dynasty, and the other is in the northwest of Chen Dynasty. They are more than ten thousand miles apart. Even Yujian took more than half a day to reach the foot of Canglong Snow Mountain.
It was the early winter afternoon at this time, and the pale golden sunshine quietly fell on the rolling white ridges of Canglong Snow Mountain, reflecting the glittering light like broken gold, which was magnificent and extraordinary.
Looking at the magnificent scenery, Lu Xiao couldn't help but sigh softly, "Master, I came here once more than two years ago. At that time, I simply... didn't expect that I could come back with you. Master, I I'm really afraid that this is a dream, and I suddenly woke up."
... This silly apprentice.
Qiu Yutong shook her head with a smile, "Okay, stop dreaming, let's go, the mountain gate is ahead."
"En." Lu Xiao said softly.
While the two were talking, they walked towards the mountain gate. They didn't go far when they suddenly heard a chattering noise coming from the front.
"Go back! Do you hear me!"
"The master master has no time to see you!"
"The bastard of the Beihai Sword Sect is also ashamed to ask to see the Master Master!"
"Get lost! Believe it or not, I will cut you!"
"Pooh!"
what happened? Qiu Yutong was puzzled for a while, and quickly walked over at a faster pace.
In front of the majestic mountain gate, a group of Shuo Xuecheng disciples were glaring, some even drew their spirit swords, all shouting and excited.
In front of this group of disciples, a short gray-clothed monk knelt down on the bluestone flat outside the mountain gate in a regular manner, no matter how much the disciples in Shuo Xuecheng scolded him, he would not return his words.
He looked very haggard, and his expression was neither humble nor overbearing, but his voice was a little hoarse: "Since City Lord Xie is the current leader of the Immortal Dao, he should naturally uphold justice for the big and small sects in the cultivation world. My Beihai Sword Sect's Uncle Chen and Uncle Tu have both been killed, and I My master is now the head of the sect, and he has been missing for two full years, most likely he was murdered. I dare to thank the city lord, find out the real culprit, and ask for an explanation for our Beihai Sword Sect!"
