Li Yan The three of them walked towards the door of the courtyard next door. As they approached, Kong Nantai and others outside the courtyard also looked at them. Li Yan actually felt two snake-like eyes looking at them. Although he pretended to be frightened on the surface, under his Divine Sense perception, the two cold eyes came from under the cloak of the man in black. To be precise, they were locked on the two masters and servants in front of him.
As the three of them approached, the four of them, Kong Nantai, who spread out in an encirclement, looked at each other for a moment. Kong Nantai's eyes flashed a few times, but in the end he did not say anything to stop Li Yan. In their minds, the three Li Yan were equally suspicious. They were in adjacent courtyards. It was perfectly possible to return quickly after killing people, but it was just not as suspicious as the two men in black robes who seemed to have been caught on the spot.
Suspicion Li Yan The three of them are suspicious, and they have to be reasonable after all. Besides, they are so close to the murder scene, and the head brother should call the three of them soon.
Li Yan The three of them arrived in front of the courtyard gate, but they couldn't get in. At this time, ten disciples had been posted at the door to block them out.
"Let them come in, I have something to ask." At this moment, the voice of the Daoist priest in the courtyard rang out, and everyone could hear a trace of suppressed anger in the voice.
After hearing this, the disciples outside the door stepped out of the way and signaled the three of them to go in. As soon as they came, Li Yan the three of them wanted to go in and have a look.
The three people entered the courtyard and found that the lights were on. A Daoist priest was standing in the courtyard, and a corpse was lying on the ground. Li Yan The three of them stared at the person. He was lying face down on the ground. He was wearing a Xuanqing Daoist robe. There was a big bloody hole on his waist. There was a large area of bright red blood on the ground, some of which had condensed with the soil on the ground to turn black.
Under the moonlight and the flickering lights in the courtyard, the palace Daoist's face was gloomy and uncertain, and the hands of the dead body lying on the ground were pale and dazzling. A gust of night wind blew by, making the leaves in the courtyard rustle, and the rich smell of blood filled the space. Li Yan The three of them felt a chill on their backs, which was strange and eerie.
Of course, the monk no longer mainly uses his eyes to see things. Li Yan Divine Sense scanned it. Although the person's face was face down, he looked at his lean figure and thought of the person who shouted out before. The Qi Condensation Stage disciple shouted "Uncle Song" and remembered that this person seemed to be a Foundation Establishment monk who was standing next to Fatty Luo San in the afternoon. The big bloody hole in his waist had already been Pierce.
While Li Yan and the three Divine Sense were observing, the Daoist priest's face showed some ferocity. Unexpectedly, in just half a day, two junior brothers died in the Daoist temple. These were two Foundation Establishment. There were only nine brothers and sisters in total. Xuanqing Temple's strength declined sharply.
"There is no need to observe, Junior Brother Song was attacked from behind, directly destroying Dantian Zifu, and he was killed instantly." He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and slowly said to the three of them.
Li Yan Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the Daoist Gong at the same time. The young man in purple stopped for a moment and suddenly asked, "So
</di>
Speaking of which, the murderer must have been familiar with the deceased senior. Otherwise, we still have no idea how a Foundation Establishment monk could be so close to someone. That way, unless the murderer is a Golden Core Realm monk or above, a Foundation Establishment monk can be rendered defenseless. "
Hearing what the young man in purple shirt said, the Daoist priest's eyes stopped on him and looked at him a few more times. He originally meant to say this to the hunchbacked old man. The young man in purple shirt suddenly felt as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast, and was unable to move. However, the old man with a hunchback moved his steps casually at this time, and blocked half of his body in front of the young man in purple shirt. The pressure on the young man in purple shirt suddenly disappeared, and he was covered with sweat. The old man with a hunchback still did not speak, but just looked at the Daoist Gong.
A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the palace Daoist. He had long seen that this hunchbacked old man was very strong, but he didn't expect that the pressure on him could be resolved so easily. One of his feet had already touched Golden Core Realm.
He continued with an unchanging expression, "This little friend is right. The protective formation here is still in a semi-open state, which means that Junior Brother Song should have stood up to see the murderer off. When he walked into the courtyard, he opened the barricade at the courtyard door to let the murderer leave. The murderer deliberately took a step behind Junior Brother Song, and then struck the killer from behind, directly penetrating the internal organs from the waist, destroying Junior Brother Song's Dantian Zifu, causing Junior Brother Song to die instantly."
When he said these words, he was filled with anger. To Xuan Qingguan, this was already a naked provocation. The attack in the morning was still somewhat concealed, but in the evening it was a direct kill. At the same time, he was also tangled in his heart. Various signs showed that the results he and Hall Master Ji had deduced before were the same. In fact, it was this result that he could not accept. In this case, the murderer must be a Daoist man. Even if these foreign monks came to find Junior Brother Song in an emergency, he would not relax to this extent. The murderer was not only familiar with Junior Brother Song, but also very familiar with them. This was also the reason why he had not ordered the arrest of the two men in black robes outside the door.
He still hadn't said a word, and Junior Brother Song's Storage Pouch was also missing.
"Then I dare to ask my seniors. Generally speaking, it didn't take long until the seniors arrived after the screams happened here. It stands to reason that this senior should still have the resentful soul nearby. Have you found it?" The young man in purple shirt thought for a while and asked. As long as the resentful soul is found, the problem can be solved. He was in a hurry to leave this place. At this time, he no longer cared about what the Daoist Palace thought of him.
"No, just like Junior Brother Liu in the morning, his soul is dead." The palace Daoist's face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping with water.
At this moment, Li Yan's expression changed, but he still lowered his head so that no one could see his face. And a little while later, the hunchbacked old man looked up at one side of the courtyard wall as if unintentionally, and then a voice came.
"Three fellow Daoists, what the head brother means is that I don't know if the three of you saw anyone else passing by or heard any noise next door." As the voice came out, the young man in purple shirt and Li Yan seemed to be awakened by someone. They looked at the people in the direction of the sound. A figure slowly became clear from blur on the courtyard wall. It was the Master Ji of the Xuanqing Temple Supervisory Hall. As soon as he appeared behind him, he shook his head at the Daoist Palace and flew to the Daoist Palace silently.
When the Daoist priest saw Hall Master Ji shaking his head, his face became even more gloomy. After the two of them entered the courtyard, they first checked all the places here, and then the two of them left the courtyard separately to search the surroundings. In addition to searching for clues, they also hoped to find Junior Brother Song's soul. Even if it was just a trace, the murderer would be revealed.
With their cultivation base and their own understanding of the Guanzhong Formation, they naturally searched quickly. After searching for a while without any results, the Daoist Gong returned here first. Seeing that Hall Master Ji was like this, it was as if the murderer was like a shadow, coming and going without a trace, and even his soul was not spared. He had no chance of reincarnation. This made Gong Daoist feel more and more depressed. He felt that everyone around him might commit murder again under the right circumstances.
After listening to Hall Master Ji's words, the young man in purple shirt looked at Li Yan with a look of fear on his face, then looked at the hunchbacked old man in front of him, and slowly shook his head, "What happened at noon today is already shocking. After we came back, the five of us chose rooms to rest. "Uncle Sang and I kept talking in the room because of what happened today. We didn't go out of the room until we heard screams outside. Well, this fellow Daoist can prove this. He walked out of the room first." At this point, he pointed at Li Yan, and then said to him. Li Yan smiled slightly and continued, "When the three of me were in the courtyard, there was no sound from the next door, and no one was seen walking outside the courtyard. However, during this period, the other two Daoist monks in black robes were not seen. I waited for a while, and then heard again. Someone shouted outside, and someone was coming. Only then did he come out of the courtyard, and he saw Senior Guan Nei Kong leading people to surround the two black-robed Daoist monks not far away, but he didn't know when the two black-robed Daoist monks left." After saying this, he bowed respectfully to Hall Master Ji and Daoist Gong.
The words of the young man in purple sounded like he was simply describing what he had seen and heard, but his words seemed to point to the two men in black robes, and by the way, Li Yan was also included.
After the purple-shirted young man bowed respectfully, he couldn't help but feel a little humility towards Li Yan. He said in his heart, "This fellow Daoist is sorry. I really have to leave early. But I didn't lie. When I came out, you were indeed standing in the courtyard." He also looked at Li Yan with an apologetic smile.
The Daoist priest and Hall Master Ji looked at Li Yan again. Although they did not feel any threat to the monk Qi Condensation Stage, Hall Master Ji still said, "My little friend, when did you come to the courtyard? Did anything unusual happen to you?"
</di>
If anything happens, please let me know. I will thank you very much. "Although he was so polite, his eyes were fixed on Li Yan like a knife. At the same time, he thought in his heart, "This person is from the Blood Leaf Sect, and he is just a third-rate sect. If he can give a reason, then that's fine, otherwise..." Although he and the Daoist priests have judged that Junior Brother Song's death was more than 70% due to a traitor within the Daoist temple, but any accidents still exist., Li Yan If Li Yan couldn't tell anything, he was irritated and took Storage Pouch of Li Yan to see if there was any Dharma Treasure in it that could kill monk Foundation Establishment. This was also a pleasure, as he had eliminated a suspect.
Li Yan sneered in his heart when the young man in purple shirt pushed him out. Although he was more frightened on the surface, he hurriedly said, "Seniors Qi Bing, the junior did arrive in the courtyard first, but he only came out after hearing the screams. The senior Qin who arranged for me to stay in the afternoon knew about this. At that time, he was sitting at the opposite window drinking. When he saw the junior, he raised his drink to signal to the junior. This is unmistakable. At that time, the screams came.
After I came to the courtyard, there was no other sound. Until I walked out of the courtyard with him, I didn't find anyone passing by the door. "
"Oh? You're talking about Junior Brother Qin? Hmm... What you said is possible. These courtyard windows are opposite to the courtyard where Junior Brother Qin lives on the other side." Hall Master Ji stared blankly, thought for a moment, and thought it was possible.
At this moment, a clear voice came over, "Oh, what this fellow Daoist said is true. I was indeed sitting in front of the window drinking at that time. When I saw this fellow Daoist looking over, I raised my drink to signal. That's when Senior Brother Song's screams appeared. This fellow Daoist really had nothing to do with this matter." Everyone looked for the voice, but a figure walked in from the door of the courtyard, it was Qin Chengyi.
"Junior Brother Qin, why did you come here at such a time?" Hall Master Ji looked at the visitor, feeling unhappy that something like this happened here. Although this Junior Brother Qin's cultivation level was still Qi Condensation Stage, he should have arrived anyway, as if he didn't care.
"I met the head brother, Senior Brother Ji. I heard something unusual here and rushed over. But when I passed by the gate of Senior Brother Liu's courtyard, I was stopped by Senior Brother Luo to ask about the situation. I talked to him for a few words, but I was afraid that he would do something random, so I moved around randomly for fear of him. The guard, Senior Brother Liu, had an accident in the courtyard, so he asked Ansheng to stay there and explain to him later. As soon as he arrived outside the courtyard, he saw Senior Brother Kong and others surrounding the two guests, so he also asked about the situation. It was too late," Qin Chengyi said.
After listening to Qin Chengyi's explanation, Hall Master Ji's face softened, and the Daoist priest also nodded. If Qin Chengyi hadn't met Luo Sanpang, that fool would have left his duties and come directly here. If the murderer went to destroy the scene again, it would really be unexplainable when the master comes back.
