The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 29: People are killed by me

Views:

A master uncle who had no clear state in Bihu Peak died, and it is said that he was murdered.

The place where the uncle's body was found was by a stream. It is said that he looked very miserable, and his entire head had been cut off.

There is no doubt that this is the most vicious incident that has happened to Qingshan Jiufeng in recent years.

That uncle is said to be the confidant of the master of Bihu Peak, and is highly regarded. Now that the master of Bihu Peak is recovering from his wounds, the disciples in the peak were already a little unstable, but suddenly they encountered such a thing, which naturally aroused great anger, and Shangde Peak was under great pressure.

If it is the strong and spies of other sects sneaking into the Jiufeng, it is of course Shangdefeng's dereliction of duty.

This possibility is unlikely, because there is no reason not to disturb the Qingshan formation if they have the ability to kill a master in the Wuzhang realm.

It is more likely that the master Bihufeng died at the hands of his fellow disciples.

If this is the case, Shangde Peak is in charge of monitoring the peaks and bears the brunt of it.

Shangdefeng sent many deacons and disciples to investigate the case, but they couldn't find any clues.

Whether it was the Biefeng master who had a rift with the deceased on Bihu Peak, or the elders who were violent and had bad deeds in the past, there were circumstantial evidence that night.

This matter seems to be surrounded by layers of fog.

The disciples by the Xijian River are of low level, so naturally they cannot be involved in this matter, and Shangde Peak will not come to ask them when investigating the case, but they can also feel that there is something wrong with the recent atmosphere. Thoughtful. After inquiring about the reason of the incident, everyone couldn't help being frightened and fell silent for a long time.

Liu Shisui was a man of few words, logically speaking, he was more silent than usual and it was hard for others to notice him. Fatty Ma Hua felt that there was something wrong with him, because apart from being more silent, Liu Shisui often lost his mind when practicing swords, and he almost hurt himself several times in the past two days, which is really too rare.

Ma Hua wanted to inquire about it, but thought that Liu Shisui was still a young man after all, and it was normal for him to feel a little uneasy when he heard such a thing suddenly.

Only monster girls like Zhao Layue will not be affected by it, right

He looked at Jianfeng shrouded in clouds and mist, thinking so.

That night, Liu Shisui went to Jing Jiu's cave, and he hadn't been there for a long time.

Jing Jiu was a little surprised.

Liu Shisui's face was a little pale, and his eyes were a little red, obviously he didn't sleep well.

Jing Jiu thought that he was worried about the Chengjian Conference, so he reached out and touched his head, and said, "You and Liangwang Peak are a good match, they won't want you."

Liu Shisui raised his head, and suddenly asked, "My lord... did you do it?"

Jing Jiu hummed, but couldn't make out whether the ending was up or down.

Liu Shisui looked at him with straight eyes, and said, "That night... I came, but you weren't here."

It was only then that Jing Jiu realized that Liu Shisui had come to look for him that night, but he must have not seen him, only the sword tablet.

He laughed and said, "You think I can kill that man?"

How could a sword-cleaning disciple who didn't even have a sword kill a strong man in the Unchanging Realm

This is the reason why Shangde Peak's investigation is far away from Xijianxi.

Not to mention Jing Jiu, even those outstanding disciples with deeper realms in Class A of Xijian Pavilion did not receive a suspicious look.

Hearing Jing Jiu's words, Liu Shisui looked a bit bewildered.

"Brother Gu and the others said yesterday that the dead uncle's broken neck was very smooth, and the murderer should be a master of You Yejing, or he used a peerless famous sword."

"I remember very clearly that you said that what you are best at is... cutting off."

"The night before yesterday, son, where did you go?"

"My lord, I'm really scared."

Jing Jiu looked at Liu Shisui's small face.

For the first time, he discovered that a ten-year-old face could be so white.

Of course he can hide it from Liu Shisui. He can easily find countless reasons why he, who has never been out of the cave, left the cave that night. Because he knew that Jing Jiu just needed him to give him a reason to feel at ease.

But for some reason, he didn't do it.

"Yes."

"ah?"

"I killed that person."

The cave became extremely quiet, and the sound of Xijianxi flowing under the cliff could be clearly heard.

Then there was the sound of Liu Shisui's breathing becoming more and more chaotic.

His face was also getting paler.

"Young master... you... who the hell are you?"

At Nansong Pavilion three years ago, Liu Shisui had asked Jing Jiu this question more than once.

Today, he asked again.

He knew that Jing Jiu had secrets, and Jing Jiu didn't want to touch Liangwang Peak, so these secrets might be problematic.

But he never thought that Jing Jiu would... kill a teacher in the sect!

"It doesn't matter who I am, you can report this matter to the teacher, or... your brother, in fact, you should have done this a long time ago."

Jing Jiu said.

Also in the South Pine Pavilion, he also asked Liu Shisui this question more than once.

Liu Shisui lowered his head and said, "I know your secret, my lord, because you have never tried to hide it from me. You are the one who wants to help me most of the time."

For example, the breathing in the small mountain village, such as the elixir dissolved in the tea, these are Jing Jiu's secrets, but they are his benefits.

"You think too much." Jing Jiu said with a smile, "The main reason is that it's troublesome. You and I were together every day at that time, so it was too troublesome to hide it from you."

Is it just trouble

Liu Shisui stood up and walked out of the cave, looking a little pitiful.

It has been nearly three years since I left the mountain village, and the boy has become a teenager, after all, something is different.

At the entrance of the cave, Liu Shisui stopped in his tracks without turning his head, and asked with a trembling voice, "... Is that uncle... a bad guy?"

Jing Jiu looked down at the sword scripture, but did not answer this question.

Liu Shisui stood at the entrance of the cave, refusing to leave.

After an unknown period of time, Jing Jiu's voice finally rang out.

"From my point of view, of course he's the bad guy."

Liu Shisui left without saying a word.

Jing Jiu never thought about whether Liu Shisui would denounce him.

In order to return to the Green Mountain Sect, he deduced for a whole year in that small mountain village. Although he would definitely encounter variables, he still had enough countermeasures.

Of course, it may also be that he doesn't want to think about it.

He is thinking about another thing now.

In the early morning, the sun is still on the other side of the peaks, and the sound of Xijian River is quiet.

He looked at the stream and thought for a while.

When Hong Sun jumped out of the peak, he thought about it.

Until noon, the sun was blazing, he looked back at the mountain in the distance where the clouds and mists never cleared all year round, and thought about it again.

"Let's go and have a look."

he said to himself.

After he said he would look, he left the cave and followed the Xijian River towards the mountain.

Every time he comes out, he will attract a lot of attention and spark a lot of discussion, and this time is no exception.

Calculating carefully, he entered the inner sect for half a year, this is the third time he left the cave and appeared in front of everyone.

Laziness, or autism to his degree, is extremely rare even in the world of practice who is used to being alone.

When he walked past the stone wall at the end of the stream and continued towards the Nine Peaks, more and more eyes fell on him, and the voices of discussion became louder and louder.

Going in that direction should be Jianfeng.

"Is that guy going to get the sword?"

The disciples standing on the surface of the stream practicing flying swords subconsciously stopped.

Ma Hua looked at Jing Jiu in the distance and muttered.

Then he noticed that Liu Shisui hadn't been affected in any way, and was still practicing his sword intently.
