Chapter 1159: A clear goal _1
She pushed open the half-opened door, and the scenery inside came into view.
In a small house, two rows of corpses stood upright. They used to be wearing hoods, but now they had all been removed and thrown on the ground.
Between the two rows of corpses were Chai Xing ‘er and three clan elders. One had sparse hair, one was tall and sturdy, and the last one had a broken arm.
These are the iron corpses? Li lingsu shifted her gaze to the beautiful wife in the light blue dress.
The latter was also looking at him. Her eyes were as clear as an Autumn Pond, with a bit of gentleness and a bit of dissatisfaction. “Why are you here?” “I heard that someone invaded the cellar last night, so I came to take a look.”
Li lingsu ignored the scrutinizing gazes of the three clan elders and walked to Chai Xing ‘er’s side. She smiled and said,”You didn’t lose anything, right?”
Chai Xing ‘er shook her head and turned to the three elders. the thief was able to sneak into Chai Manor in the middle of the night without alerting the guards or disturbing the clansmen who were guarding the cellar. This shows that he knows Chai Manor’s environment and defense like the back of his hand.
A clan elder with sparse hair muttered, “”Xing ‘er, are you saying that it was Chai Xian’s doing?
“Who else could it be?” Chai Xing ‘er sneered.
The tall and sturdy elder muttered to himself, “”Taking off the heads of all the undeads, if I’m not wrong, they are looking for someone … Who is he looking
Xiao LAN has been missing for many days, ” the one-armed elder said indifferently. does he think that Xiao LAN is dead and has been refined into a walking corpse? ” This kid has really lost his mind.”
Just as Chai Xing ‘er was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of li lingsu standing in front of a corpse, silently examining it.
The corpse had clear facial features and was about 30 years old. He must have been an extraordinarily handsome man when he was alive.
“He’s my husband.”
Chai Xing ‘er said indifferently.
“Hmm,” li lingsu replied and pinched the male corpse’s shoulder to confirm that he was an iron corpse.
“Three uncles …”
Chai Xing ‘er glanced at the three old men.
The clan elders nodded slightly and left the room.
After the wooden door closed, Chai Xing ‘er walked over to li lingsu’s side and stood beside her. She looked at the male corpse calmly and said in a gentle voice,
“I rarely talk to you about him.” “I don’t want to know,” Li lingsu turned around and left.
“Li Lang …”
Chai Xing ‘er pulled him back, her hands cold as ice. Her tone became somewhat anxious as she said, “It’s not what you think.”
Without waiting for li lingsu to reply, she quickly explained, ‘
“That year, big brother went out with him to handle some matters. On the way, they encountered the revenge of an enemy. He was seriously injured and his life was hanging by a thread. In order to survive, his big brother had refined him into an iron corpse. That was how he managed to escape and escape with his troops.
“After I found out about this, I had a fight with big brother and then left home to relax. Not long after, I met you.
“It’s not because I still have feelings for him, that’s why I refined him into an iron corpse and kept him by my side,”
“I believe you,” li lingsu replied after a moment of silence.
Chai Xing. er’s ex-husband died at the hands of Chai Jianyuan and was turned into an iron corpse .
In the inn, listening to li lingsu’s ” report “, Xu Qi ‘an seemed to have smelled a family drama.
This way, the possibility of Chai Xing ‘er being the true culprit behind the scenes increased by a few more points.
Although her ex-husband was seriously injured at the time and his life was hanging by a thread, and if he couldn’t break out of the situation, he would have been killed. However, he still died in the hands of Chai Jianyuan and was refined into an iron corpse.
Well, to be able to immediately turn into an iron corpse meant that Chai Xing ‘er’s ex-husband had at least rank-6 copper skin and iron bones. Chai Jianyuan had refined him into an iron corpse, and his enemies were probably cursing him in their hearts.
It wasn’t easy to kill one, but he was resurrected in another way … “Ask the elder of the chai family about her ex-husband.”
“Just this?” Li lingsu frowned.
Xu Qi ‘an took a sip of tea and nodded.
Li lingsu was silent for a few seconds before helplessly saying, “”lf she really is the mastermind behind this, what will you do?”
Xu Qi ‘an looked at him. brother he, you’ve committed multiple murders. You’re sentenced to death!
Li lingsu’s expression turned slightly unsightly. After a moment of silence, she said in a deep voice,
“I’ll cripple her cultivation and bring her back to the heaven sect, never letting her leave the mountain for the rest of her life. If senior wants to kill her, you can try to kill me first.”
He cupped his hands and turned to leave.
tsk, tsk. This Holy Son of the heavenly sect is quite interesting.
Mu nanzhi laughed. you’ve attracted so many women with the goal of forgetting love. Isn’t your ultimate goal to forget them? ” In the end, he seemed to have fallen in love with every woman.”
That’s why the heavenly sect wanted to buy back fake products. The Holy Son was walking the evil path … Xu Qian said.
Under the table, mu nanzhi kicked him lightly and said teasingly, ” the flirtatious Xu yinluo, if you were li lingsu, what would you do if your girlfriend committed a grave crime? ”
Xu Qi ‘an thought about it seriously. if it’s mu nanzhi who made a big mistake, ‘ he said, ” I’ll do my job properly.
“What did you just say?
Mu Nanxi was furious. She made a fierce expression, as if she wanted to tear Xu Qi ‘an into pieces.
But the next moment, the anger on her face was replaced by embarrassment. Her face turned red and she said angrily, “”What nonsense are you talking about?”
Who’s your girlfriend? Shameless!
Shua shua shua … She stomped on his foot under the table.
After she was done with her anger, Xu Qi ‘an said, ‘
“I was just giving li lingsu a perfunctory reply just now, and just throwing him some work to do. For us, the investigation is not important. The key is to get the Dragon energy.”
The case wasn’t urgent. Chai Xian had been wronged tor so long, so he didn’t care about this short period of time. However, Jingxin and Jingyuan were also in Xiang Zhou. It was like there was a Tiger lying on the bed.
The threat was too great.
He had an agreement with the pagoda spirit of the stupa. He was not to use it against the disciples of the Buddhist League, but he could protect himself by hiding inside the Stupa and driving the pagoda to escape.
In other words, Xu Qi ‘an could at most keep himself from being defeated, but he lacked the strength to fight head-on.
Under such circumstances, if Chai Xian were to meet Jingxin and the others face to face, the fact that Chai Xian was the host of the Dragon Qi would definitely be exposed.
Since Buddhism had entered the Central Plains to collect Dragon Qi, they must have a way to identify the host of Dragon Qi.
Hence, the most urgent thing was not the case but to find chai Xian. “By the way, how’s the cultivation of the nine-colored lotus root going?”
Mu Nanxi snorted proudly, tilted her face and raised her chin. it will mature completely in three months. In another three months, it will bear lotus seeds.
As expected of the flower God’s reincarnation, his progress was very fast. The matter of the Lotus seed was not urgent. He would first cut the Lotus root and give it to that old fool from martial Union, helping him break through to rank.
2 … Xu Qi ‘an nodded in satisfaction and said,
“In, in a few days, the state preceptor may come to find me and have something to do. I’ll be gone with her for a few days.” Hearing this, mu Nanxi turned around and frowned. “What for?”
“I-I’m just doing things …”
“What?”
It’s to get things done. Didn’t I say so … Xu Qi ‘an lowered his head and sipped his tea.
Mu Nanxi looked at him suspiciously and mumbled, ” you’re being so mysterious. Just tell me what’s the matter. She’s not easy to get along with, and I have an extremely good relationship with her. I can mediate between you two.
Ah, this, Princess Consort, this kind of thing should wait until everyone is familiar with each other before trying … Xu Qi ‘an brushed it off casually and then changed the topic.
“I’m going out for a bit.”
Xu Qi ‘an changed into an ordinary cotton robe and left the inn.
He planned to instigate Chai Xian to confront Chai Xing ‘er at the demon-slaying meet. Chai Xian would definitely not show up in person and would most likely control the undead. However, there was a distance limit to the control of the undead.
With Xu Qi ‘an’s current perception range of Dragon Qi, it was not difficult for him to find chai Xian’s hiding place as long as he looked down from the sky with the Stupa Pagoda.
Chai Manor.
In the courtyard where the Buddhist monks were staying, Chai Xing ‘er took a sip of tea and put down her teacup. She turned her head and said,
master Jingxin, I hope that you can uphold justice at the demon slaying meet tomorrow. I hope that you can appeal to the righteous path to work together to get rid of this ungrateful Chai Xian.
Zhang Zhou was one of the DA Feng granaries. Although there were poor places like Xiang Zhou, it was still well-off.
It was common knowledge that the richer a place was, the weaker the fighting power of the local people. The more barren the mountains and rivers were, the easier it was for fierce and unruly people to appear.
In addition, the Imperial court attached great importance to the grain-producing land in Zhang province and had the intention to suppress the forces of the Jianghu and put an end to the birth of large Jianghu gangs.
As a result, the martial arts in Zhang Zhou had not been prosperous since ancient times, and fourth-level Masters were rare.
we have been traveling around the Central Plains. We are deeply saddened by what has happened in Xiang Zhou.
Jingxin said slowly, ” it’s a pity that the Imperial court of Da Feng forbids the preaching of Buddhism. As a result, there are constant natural and man-made disasters in Da Feng. The people are suffering. There are refugees everywhere.
The two monks standing beside him put their hands together and chanted the name of Buddha in a low voice, as if this was the truth.
If Da Feng had allowed Buddhism to spread its teachings to the Central Plains earlier, the world would not have become so unstable.
After chatting for a while more, Chai Xing ‘er bade her farewell and left.
Jingyuan said,”this case is rather suspicious. Chai Xian’s actions are contradictory.” Senior brother, can you use the commandments to question benefactor Chai Xing ‘er?”
“You also suspect her?” Jingxin smiled.
“It’s not difficult for us to investigate a case. Xu Qi ‘an is Imown as a genius in solving cases in Dafeng, but he only used his lecherous skills.” Jingyuan said proudly.
Jingxin nodded and said, ”
“Now, I’m asking benefactor Chai Xing ‘er, what if she was the one who killed him? If the entire Chai residence is under her control, then our actions would be making an enemy of the chai residence. If he wanted to ask about the commandments, he would have to do it at the demon-slaying meet tomorrow.
“Also, I won’t act rashly before I see Chai Xian. All of you must also remember this.”
Seeing that the few young monks seemed to not understand and were mostly at a loss, monk Jingyuan laughed and explained on Jingxin’s behalf, ‘
“What Chai Xing ‘er said about Chai Xian’s sudden and inexplicable advancement in his cultivation is rather interesting. I was in a hurry to let senior brother test it with the precepts because I wanted to find out what it was.
“If she’s telling the truth, then Chai Xian is most likely the host of dragon energy. However, if she is lying, then it is not the best time to fall out now.
Tomorrow is the best time.”
Following his memory, Xu Qi ‘an came to the small village and the house where Chai Xian was hiding last night.
The men at home had gone out to work. In the courtyard, a young woman was drying clothes, and a ten-year-old girl was picking vegetables and leaves.
The mother and daughter were a little nervous and vigilant when they saw the strange guests.
The young woman hesitated and said in her slang, ‘”Who are you looking for?” “Do you know how to speak official language?” Xu Qi ‘an asked. “I’ll say that I’ve learned it from the village’s master scholar.”
The little girl said in a proud tone.
She was wearing a worn-out cotton-padded jacket with traces of sewing. Her face was a little sallow, probably due to malnutrition..
