Li Yan couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He clearly felt that the young man's expression appeared only after the blood-handed flying sickle finished speaking. It was a subconscious expression. Li Yan felt something strange in his heart. He His face showed that he was listening carefully to the words of the bloody hand flying sickle, and wanted to get closer. He couldn't help but move his steps forward and sideways, away from the master and servant who always looked weird, but there was a ray of Divine Sense secretly paying attention to each other.

After hearing the question from the Bloody Hand Flying Scythe, the Daoist priest first nodded, and then shook his head. His expression puzzled everyone.

"I think it is not difficult to see the cause of death based on the cultivation of fellow Daoists. The results are the same as my observation. However, several junior brothers and I came early and checked several times. The murderer did not leave any clues. His actions were extremely vicious. He actually killed Junior Brother Liu's soul and made it impossible for him to enter reincarnation. However, there are a few points that can be guessed or not understood.

First, there are no traces of a fight here. The murderer should be someone very familiar to Junior Brother Liu, who then made a surprise attack when Junior Brother Liu was not prepared;

Secondly, Junior Brother Liu had already opened the restriction of the protective formation when he was practicing. Even if the murderer deceived Junior Brother Liu into letting him enter the courtyard for some reason, how did he leave? All the doors, windows and courtyards are covered by the formation, but the token to activate the protective formation is still in Junior Brother Liu's hand. Like every sect, in order to protect the safety and privacy of the disciples, only one prohibition token can be opened for a person's cave abode or courtyard.

Thirdly, if the murderer thinks he can kill Junior Brother Liu with one blow, then the murderer can take Junior Brother Liu's prohibition token and open it and leave calmly. However, Junior Brother Liu still has the prohibition token in his hand, so this is unreasonable, and the mark left by Junior Brother Liu on the token has not been touched at all., even if others obtain the prohibition token, they will not be able to control it if they do not erase the imprints in the token. These imprints will only slowly dissipate with the death of Junior Brother Liu. Fellow Daoists can still detect the existence of the imprints by Divine Sense now.

Fourthly, the door of this house in this courtyard was the only one that was opened from the inside. It was obvious that Junior Brother Liu forced the door open in desperation after being severely injured and planned to escape. As for the doors and windows of the other houses, I also checked and found that all the items in the remaining two rooms were neatly arranged and no outsiders could enter. The most critical protective formation was not removed. Even if the doors and windows were wide open, they were just decorations and there was no way to get out.

Fifth, Junior Brother Liu's Storage Pouch is missing, which is even more unpredictable. Generally, tokens are placed in Storage Pouch. Why did the murderer give the forbidden token to Junior Brother Liu after taking Storage Pouch? Could it be that knowing that Junior Brother Liu was not dead, what would he do if he was left alive, so as to spread suspicion? Once Junior Brother Liu has a secret method to stay alive until other sect members come, will he not be smart but be fooled by his cleverness? I can't understand this.

Therefore, I think there are two possibilities. One is that the murderer is an acquaintance, but he stayed at the scene after the murder, which ultimately confuses the audio and video, causing confusion in the clues and preventing the truth from being revealed; the other is that the murderer is an array master, and the courtyard protection array has no effect on him, and sneaks in secretly while Junior Brother Liu is practicing.

While refining, the assassin attacked and left after thinking he had succeeded. Before leaving, he restored the protective formation restrictions to their original state. Third, the above two points are based on the fact that Junior Brother Liu's prohibition token was only placed on his body and was placed separately from Storage Pouch. If this were not the case, perhaps Junior Brother Liu was pretending to be dead or pretending to be dead at that time. After the murderer succeeded, he took out the token alone and discarded it, and took away Storage Pouch. However, this behavior is puzzling. "

When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt like a mess in front of them, all intertwined but contradicting each other, like a fog covering their face.

When the Daoist priest said this, he looked at Luo Sanpang and Qin Chengyi with burning eyes. The two people were suddenly excited, their faces turned pale, and they were complaining in their hearts. They were just acquaintances who committed the crime, and they stayed here immediately. Luo Sanpang was worried that the matter could not be explained clearly, but now that it was true, Qin Chengyi even cursed Luo Sanpang's eighteen generations of ancestors. If he hadn't pulled him here, how could he have caused this trouble.

Luo Sanpang's blood surged, and he howled suddenly, "Senior Brother, Senior Brother, how could you have wronged someone like this? I really didn't kill anyone, really not." In a hurry, he seemed to be careless with his words, and even his defense seemed weak.

Qin Chengyi was sweating heavily. He was also a smart man. Although he was anxious, he still retained a trace of reason and had a helpless smile on his lips. "Brother, head master, I am an Qi Condensation Stage monk. Even if I attack Senior Brother Liu sneakily, without the powerful Dharma Treasure, I have the ability to directly break Brother Liu's body-protecting spiritual power in an instant. I guess as soon as my spiritual power touches the corner of his clothes, he will be exposed." Now, there is a big difference. He just stood there and let me attack. I was the one who died in the end. This is my Storage Pouch. Please check it to see if there is a powerful Dharma Treasure or other suspicious things in it. Please take a look at it." After saying this, he took off the Storage Pouch from his body with a pale face. After removing the restrictions on the bag, Divine Sense was handed over with both hands.

This sudden change made Li Yan and others stunned. They did not expect that the first person Gong Daoist suspected was his two junior brothers. After listening to the two people's explanations, the Daoist priest took Qin Chengyi's Storage Pouch. After scanning the Divine Sense, he returned the Storage Pouch to Qin Chengyi with a calm expression. At the same time, several Divine Senses swept over Qin Chengyi's body unceremoniously, seeming to see Qin Chengyi clearly inside and out. It was none other than Hall Master Ji of the Supervisory Hall and four other people.

In the end, many people finally turned their attention to Luo Sanpang, but what Qin Chengyi said was the truth. There was a big difference. Even if it was a sneak attack, it was probably discovered by the opponent as soon as the spiritual power was activated. Whether it was the Divine Sense induction or the fluctuation of spiritual power, there was a huge difference between heaven and earth. Even Ji Laodao and other senior fellow apprentices had their eyes flickering, with hesitation on their faces. They didn't find any extraordinary Dharma Treasure things hidden in Qin Chengyi's body. Only one blow that could bring a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage peak monk to the verge of death

There are monks of the same rank.

Luo Sanpang was stared at by everyone and couldn't help but look around. He felt even more anxious. His mind was racing and he thought of the reason. He couldn't help but glare at Li Yan and the others, "Do you suspect that Third Master did it?"

Then he hurriedly looked at the silent Palace Daoist: "Brother, head master, if I kill someone, I have to have a reason. Senior Brother Liu and I have been in charge of the "Tao Jing Palace" for more than ten years. We have the same rights and salaries. What he has, I also have. Even if it is a spiritual stone, the senior brothers in the Daoist temple also know that I like it." I want to bet on some winnings, but I have more spiritual stones than him, and Senior Brother Liu doesn't have any special spiritual treasures, Dharma Treasure. What do I want from him? There must be a purpose for killing people, right? Besides, Senior Brother Liu's Storage Pouch was gone when I entered, so what purpose could I have for killing someone?"

As he spoke, the fat on his face kept trembling, but after saying these words, he felt confident. Especially when other people in Xuan Qingguan heard it, they felt that the head brother's suspicion was wrong. They knew that Luo Sanpang and Brother Liu shared the same position, so there was really no conflict of interest, and the two had a good personal relationship.

"Senior Brother Luo and I thought that there was something wrong with Senior Brother Liu's practice. After blasting away the protective formation, we hurried in. Because Senior Brother Liu's scream before made people feel bad, when we entered, Senior Brother Luo's footsteps knocked me to the ground in a hurry. When I looked up and saw Senior Brother Liu's appearance, Senior Brother Luo immediately yelled out without touching anything here." Qin Chengyi also smiled bitterly and couldn't help but say.

The palace Daoist's eyes were cold. After Luo Sanpang finished speaking again, he said calmly, "Did I say it was one of you two? Have you forgotten what I just said, how did the murderer get out after the murder? Did the murderer break the protective restrictions after the murder to confuse the audience? And the murder may not be to take something. There may be a gap. Taking Storage Pouch may be a cover-up."

After Luo Sanpang and Qin Chengyi heard this, their expressions relaxed. The head brother clearly suspected that the two of them had deceived Brother Liu into opening the courtyard gate, went in to attack and kill people, and then fabricated the scene of the murder. However, when they came all the way at noon, they also met many disciples on the road. These brothers Zi even greeted them, and even when the two of them stood at the door of Senior Brother Liu, this was also the area where disciples lived, and some disciples could see it from a distance, not to mention bombarding the protective formation. Disciples had already flown over during their first bombardment. This was within the sect and it was broad daylight.

"Senior Brother, the leader of the teaching, knows about this. Not only did many people see me and Junior Brother Qin coming here, but also some disciples saw me when I came out of my courtyard before noon. When I finally bombarded Senior Brother Liu's protective formation, several disciples were standing here. So just send them a message and ask."

Then the two of them told me the names of many monks one by one. Hall Master Ji called to wait for the disciples outside the door, and then called the disciples mentioned by Luo Sanpang and Luo Sanpang one by one. After some questioning, it was indeed what they said.

At this moment, Kong Nan

Tai Ye hurried over. His patrol had reached the back mountain. After receiving the news from the head brother, it was already too late. After receiving the order to open the sect formation, he checked around again and then came over. A Foundation Establishment monk died in the Daoist temple. This was extremely serious for a second-rate sect. The sect formation was opened to prevent everyone from entering or exiting.

After Luo Sanpang and Qin Chengyi stood aside, Daoist Gong turned his face to Xue Hand Fei Si and the others, directly ignoring Li Yan and several Qi Condensation Stage monks. Even if there were formation masters among Qi Condensation Stage, they would not be that high. They were different from Qin Chengyi. How could Junior Brother Liu let a stranger come close to him.

"Fellow Daoist Gui, you are a master of formations. What do you think about the murderer disappearing out of thin air under the restriction of such formations?" Daoist Gong finally turned his attention to the fat man in red robe.

"Fellow Daoist Palace, how can my little skills compare with the inheritance of Xuanqingguan's ten thousand-year formation? This time I just took my nephew to visit an old friend. Don't you doubt me?" The fat man in red robe showed displeasure.

"'Flag Roll Battalion' Gui Liugang" Just as the two of them were talking, a low and cold voice came out. Although the voice was low, as there were all immortal cultivators here, everyone could hear it clearly. Everyone looked for the voice, and it was one of the two cloaked men in black robes who had been silent.

As soon as he said these words, the fat man in red robe narrowed his eyes, and a bright light flashed. "Oh, it seems that there are others here who also know Gui. Why don't these two fellow Daoists lift their cloaks so that they can chat more freely."

"Hehe, I'm just a villager from the mountains. I don't see the big world, but I made Fellow Daoist Gui laugh. Brother Yu was just surprised to meet the famous "Flag Roll Camp" Fellow Daoist Gui here. He was surprised for a moment. According to rumors, Fellow Daoist Gui was born as a mortal military general. He unexpectedly embarked on the path of cultivating immortals like us. His formations are unpredictable and uncorrectable. When Shi entered the path of immortality, he could use mortal formations to set up large formations, and the enemy troops they killed were frightened and their formations collapsed. After practicing Daoism, they often used the formation flags as banners to form formations, hence the name "Flag Roll Battalion". Today, I saw that it was like a master." As soon as the fat man in red robe finished speaking, the other man in black robes already said it with a smile.

As soon as Gui Liu heard this, his red robe moved automatically, and his eyes were like knives directed at the two black robe monks. However, after just one breath, all the breath in his body disappeared, and his face returned to normal, returning to the amiable fat man look just now.

Gui Liugang thought to himself, "There are people hiding in the back. If it is outside, even if it is two Foundation Establishment monks, the formation will definitely kill you two."

He said lightly, "Gui's name makes everyone laugh, but that's fine, let's take a look at the true meaning of the Xuanqing Formation." After saying that, he really took a step forward and walked towards the courtyard.

His sudden change of attitude made the people here stunned for a while. Then the Confucian scholar with the Flying Scythe smiled softly and murmured, "Fellow Daoist Gui is really amazing." He followed him, and he didn't know whether he was praising Gui Liugang for his great formation or his good character.
