Qin Chengyi walked closer, and when he saw everything in the courtyard clearly, he couldn't help but gasped, "Brother head, Senior Brother Song was attacked by someone."
The palace Daoist nodded with a sullen face. Qin Chengyi hurriedly Divine Sense dispersed, glanced around, opened his mouth, and finally asked, "Two senior brothers, do you have any clues?"
"No, as you have judged, it must have been done by an acquaintance. Junior Brother Song showed no sign of resistance at all." Gong Daoist said gloomily.
Qin Chengyi looked at Li Yan and the three of them, and then at the Daoist Gong, who seemed to have something to say, but seemed inconvenient.
When the palace Daoist saw Qin Chengyi like this, he already understood and whispered, "The two people outside the courtyard do not rule out the possibility of murder. If they use some excuse to deceive Junior Brother Song into opening the courtyard door, and with their cultivation, they work together to deal with a Foundation Establishment Early Stage monk, if Coupled with some covert methods, it is still possible to kill Junior Brother Song with one blow." He said these words directly in front of Li Yan and the three of them without covering up, even the murderous intent in his eyes was not hidden.
After a while, he looked away at the courtyard door and looked up at the moonlight. It was almost late at night.??
For a moment, the courtyard fell silent. The slanted shadows of several people on the ground illuminated by the lights in the courtyard were somewhat erratic, like ghosts in the dark night. A corpse lay in a thick pool of black blood on the ground under the moon. Occasionally, a gust of night wind blew up in the courtyard and rolled up the hair on the corpse's head, revealing half of its pale, bloodless face. The pair of lifeless eyes seemed to be looking at everyone.
After a long time, the Daoist Master took a deep breath and looked at Li Yan "Since this little friend happened to be seen by Junior Brother Qin when the incident happened, and this little friend left the room before these two Daoist friends, no matter how quick the murderer was, he would not have returned to the room so soon after the scream. Such mutual proof, the three of them should have nothing to do with Junior Brother Song's death, but the matter of Junior Brother Liu is still unclear, so we still need to wait for Patriarch Contempt to come back to find out."
The Daoist priest looked at the Li Yan trio and said. Although he said this, he still had doubts about the hunchbacked old man. After all, the hunchbacked old man had advanced cultivation. If he came in and out quietly, Qi Condensation, the monk from the Blood Leaf Sect named Li, would not be able to detect him. However, the hunchbacked old man was trying to detect him. Next, at most, he should be on guard against himself. Junior Brother Song was not familiar with him, so he was wary anyway. He wanted to kill a monk of the same level instantly with one person's power. Even if Junior Brother Song was Foundation Establishment Early Stage, he might not be able to do it even if the other party was on guard. This made him deny his suspicion a little bit.
He was angry in his heart and felt that his strength was empty. The clues left by the murderer were almost empty. Even if there were Golden Core Realm monks here who knew Soul Search, they still had to weigh things up. If they searched for the right person, they would be able to explain it later. If they searched for the wrong person, that person would become an idiot. Even if the other party may be just a Rogue Cultivator or a small sect monk, once word spreads, Xuan Qing Guan's reputation will be gone. No one will dare to teleport here in the future, so he hopes in his heart that the master will use another Divine Ability to find out the truth.
After the Daoist priest finished speaking to the three Li Yan, he looked at Hall Master Ji and Qin Chengyi again, "Master Ji, later, all the protective formations of the sect will be
</di>
The law is fully activated, and the number of patrols outside has been increased to four teams. You will lead Junior Sister Ye, Junior Brother Feng, and Junior Brother Zhou on cross-patrol patrols. Everyone else, including the foreign Daoist friends here, will move to the front hall.
As for the two courtyards of Junior Brother Song and Junior Brother Liu, I will take action personally in a while and will set up a defensive formation outside the courtyard. I will also use the Blood Oath Formation. Even if someone approaches, I will know it immediately.
I have sent a message to Master just now, and I want to come to his old man's house to receive the letter. I must be anxious, or I will return to the sect tomorrow evening. "
After listening to the words of the Daoist priest, several people knew that everyone was gathered together in one place. It would be very difficult for the murderer to take action again. However, when Hall Master Ji and Qin Chengyi heard the words "Blood Oath Formation", their bodies couldn't help but trembled. This formation tightly connected their own blood energy with the formation, allowing the bleeding person to run and preside over the formation all the time, even if an ant crawled through the formation., the person who presides over the formation is also very clear, and the power of this formation is five or six times more powerful than before. However, this requires the presiding of the formation to have extremely high mana, which consumes a lot of energy. Even if it is midnight, it is extremely difficult to preside over the formation until dawn even with the fake elixir state of the leader. After this scene, there is no way to recover without a month of hard work afterwards. It seems that the Daoist Gong is really willing to wait for his master to turn around even if he does not hesitate to suffer losses.
"Junior Brother Qin, please take these three fellow Daoists to the front hall first, and inform Junior Brother outside to invite the two black-robed guests in. Go ahead!" After the Daoist Master finished speaking, he directly ordered.
Qin Chengyi quickly agreed. He turned around and said to Li Yan, "Three fellow Daoists, I can only wrong you tonight. Please come with me!"
Li Yan The three of them have been watching all this quietly. Now that the matter is over, as long as it is not detrimental to them, all guests can do as they please. Then the three of them followed Qin Chengyi and walked out of the hospital.
After the group of people arrived outside the courtyard, Qin Chengyi quickly came to Kong Nantai and whispered a few words to him.
After a while, Kong Nantai stared at the two men in black robes coldly and said unceremoniously, "Two fellow Daoists, the master brother wants to see you, please come!".
The two men in black robes glanced at each other without saying a word, and walked directly towards the courtyard. Kong Nantai and three junior brothers and junior sisters followed closely behind.
Li Yan The three of them have been standing on one side waiting for Qin Chengyi. The young man in purple lowered his head, as if he was thinking about something, but in fact he was sighing in his heart. When he saw that Xuan Qingguan did not immediately take down the two men in black robes, he couldn't help but show disappointment in his eyes, but he lowered his head, so others could not see it.
Seeing that Kong Nantai and his party had left, Qin Chengyi said, "Three fellow Daoists, please come this way!" As he said that, he moved his right hand forward and walked forward first.
. Li Yan was walking at the end. What others didn't notice was that he quietly looked back at Kong Nantai's back, and then at Qin Chengyi's back in front of him, his eyes narrowing involuntarily.
In the courtyard, the Daoist priest frowned, and the two men in black robes were like meat on a hob. They only said that they were bored and came out for a walk. As soon as they walked not far, something happened here, and they didn't know anything else. If he wasn't worried about the reputation of the Xuanqing Sect outside, he really wanted to take down the two men in black robes and torture them. At the same time, he was basically sure that the death of Junior Brother Song was caused by an acquaintance.
Kong Nantai and others showed unwillingness on their faces and looked at the two men in black robes with hatred, but they had no choice but to obey the words of the head brother.??
The two men in black robes also breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that the matter must be unexplainable and that they would have to fight desperately. Seeing Xuan Qingguan acting like this and not proposing to ban their cultivation, the two of them looked at each other and agreed.
On the side, Hall Master Ji was also arranging patrols for three junior brothers and junior sisters, and asked them to go on patrol first. He knew that the head senior brother still had something to say.
Watching everyone leave the courtyard, the Daoist priest looked down at the corpse on the ground again without raising his head, seeming to be talking to himself, but Hall Master Ji could clearly hear "What did you find?"
Hall Master Ji also acted as if he had known about this question, and said solemnly, "Junior Brother Kong has been patrolling outside today. His time is relatively free. The news I got is that he has time to leave alone; Junior Brother Luo has been waiting outside Junior Brother Liu's courtyard since then. This is proved by disciples that he has never left there. Even Junior Brother Qin's statement just now that Junior Brother Luo stopped him to ask about the situation here is true., It's just that they didn't know that I was around; after Junior Brother Qin arranged for the foreign monks, he returned to the courtyard. He seemed to be in a bad mood and had been drinking. Some disciples saw this through the window, and when the incident happened, even the Blood Leaf Sect disciple also saw Junior Brother Qin; the other junior brothers and sisters were led by me to look for clues in the afternoon, and they were always in my sight."
After hearing this, the Daoist priest said, "Junior Brother Kong... Master Kong... did he happen to patrol here at night?" He seemed to be muttering to himself in a low voice.
Then he stared at the ground with burning eyes, "The expression on Junior Brother Song's face..." As he said this, he flicked his robe sleeves, and Song Bo's body turned over. Under the moonlight, it was a pale face full of shock and disbelief, without any pain.
Hall Master Ji's eyes showed a cold light, and then he also narrowed his eyes.
"Also, how is the investigation of those foreign monks? Especially the three Foundation Establishment monks. Junior Brother Song was directly attacked and killed. The scope of clues to the death of Junior Brother Liu is much narrower than that of Junior Brother Liu. The murderer is still in the Daoist temple. It seems that the murderer should not be among the group of monks who were released at noon.
</di>
Our judgment is still generally correct. "Gong Daoist said coldly.
"Senior Brother, Headmaster, I sent out the Thousand Mile Transmission Note at noon, so that the disciples and hidden lines within the surrounding area of thousands of miles have already checked according to the information recorded by these foreign monks when they entered the mountain gate. I think the news will be sent back early tomorrow morning at the latest." Hall Master Ji said in a deep voice.
The main hall of Xuanqingguan is very majestic. In the moonlit night, it stretches out into the night sky like copper poured into iron. When Li Yan and others arrived, the inside and outside of the main hall were already brightly lit, and the square in front of the main hall was completely dark. There were as many as five or six hundred people. They were all sitting cross-legged, meditating with their eyes closed, in an orderly manner. They should have received the message long ago.
Three large gilt characters "Yu Qing Palace" hung high above the main hall, shining brightly under the light. Li Yan As a group of people arrived, no one in the square opened their eyes. They were either indifferent, curious in their eyes, or had evil looks on their faces, just to name a few.
Li Yan When they passed the crowd and stepped onto the highest steps leading to the main hall, they found that the Yuqing Palace gate was still some distance away from the steps. A wide platform was formed here, surrounded by a circle of white jade railings. The platform was divided into three areas: left, middle and right. There were many futons placed on the giant white marble floor. Li Yan They were led to the right area.
"Fellow Daoists, please meditate here and rest. We are all monks. We can only close our eyes for a few hours, so we won't feel too tired." Qin Chengyi said to the five Li Yan.
Li Yan looked around. They were sitting here. Even from the square under the steps, they could be seen from many angles. In this way, their every move was under the gaze of others.
Not long after, Kong Nantai and several disciples came over with two men in black robes. Then he, Qin Chengyi and several disciples vaguely surrounded Li Yan and others. The two men in black robes also gave a bitter smile, and then found a futon and sat down cross-legged. Although there were many futons here, they didn't think they could choose at will.
Then, another monk arrived. It was Luo Sanpang who led a group of disciples to the square, leaving his disciples on the square. Luo Sanpang went up to the platform alone, walked to Li Yan and sat down not far from them, but everyone could see that there was blood in Luo Sanpang's eyes, and a murderous intention was shot towards this side, it was the two men in black robes.
Before he came, he also went to the place where Song Bo lived. Song Bo's death made his eyes split open. To say who had the best relationship with him in Xuanqing Temple, it was Song Bo who had a similar affinity with him and enjoyed gambling. Seeing Song Bo's tragic death, and hearing that the two men in black robes happened to meet outside Song Bo's courtyard, he had already regarded these two as the murderers. Only after receiving help from his senior brother, he was able to resist his impulse.
The two men in black robes did not pay attention to Luo Sanpang's murderous intent at all, as if they had already fallen into a trance. This made Luo Sanpang finally close his eyes.
