Chapter 68 The Three Imperial Families
Li Changge's words puzzled Qi Xuansu.
The Li family and the King of Liao are allies, so how can there be any interest?
Could it be that Li Changge really inherited the legacy of Xuansheng, eating the food of the Li family and smashing the pot of the Li family? After all, Xuansheng was not very polite to the Li family back then, and mostly suppressed them. In other words, Xuansheng's prestige was too great, and the Li family dared not disown this ancestor. No matter how much they suffered in the past, they must now desperately protect Xuansheng and regard themselves as descendants of Xuansheng.
However, there are also rumors that in fact, the Li family had serious internal strife back then. The three brothers were like the three paths of Taoism today. Xuansheng played the role of Taipingdao. Donghuang and the eldest brother joined forces to deal with Xuansheng, the second brother, but in the end Xuansheng won and Donghuang admitted defeat. Therefore, some people speculated that Xuansheng's later suppression of the Li family was suspected of eliminating dissidents.
Although in recent years, the Li family has been extremely united, far better than the Zhang family and the scattered Quanzhen Dao, the possibility of internal strife in the Li family cannot be ruled out. But Li Changge is firmly in the position of the third person in the Li family, and he is so young, is it necessary to fight internally? Could it be Li Tianzhen?
Li Changge did not explain how interesting it was, and motioned Li Qingnu to continue.
Li Qingnu continued: "Since the decline of Buddhism in the East, Buddhism in the Western Regions has taken control of Buddhism, and Buddhism has fallen. This monk Yanxiu is actually a playboy monk, practicing what kind of great joy Zen all day long. Two people died in our Wutong Garden this time. Everyone present is a Taoist, and they are moral. From a moral point of view, the value of human life should not be measured by Taiping money, but it is a bit empty to say that human life is priceless. Priceless is the most valuable and the least valuable. I am just a person of the lower nine classes, and I dare not talk about morality. I still have to consider Taiping money. The value of these two women is more than 5,000 Taiping money. Our Wutong Garden has suffered a great loss."
It is said that those who are close to ink will be black, and Li Qingnu's words are quite like Qi Niang.
Qi Xuansu remained silent.
The death of the two women was not what Qi Xuansu and Li Qingnu expected.
Qi Xuansu did not expect that Monk Yanxiu would be so cruel and use the two women as hidden weapons without any hesitation, so the two innocent women died unfortunately. Qi Xuansu also tried to save them and was injured for this. From this point of view, Qi Xuansu is much softer than before.
But he is not soft-hearted enough to attribute the guilt of others to himself.
Whoever killed it is who killed it. If it was Qi Xuansu who killed it, Qi Xuansu would not hide, and if it was not Qi Xuansu who killed it, Qi Xuansu would not admit it.
Qi Xuansu has never been a good person, so he does not intend to be pointed at by the moral gun.
Li Changge said: "Since the person is dead, don't be stingy with the peace money. Take care of the funeral, comfort their families, and don't miss a penny of the pension."
"Yes." Li Qingnu said seriously, "I have arranged someone to do it."
Li Changge nodded slightly: "Continue."
Li Qingnu continued: "On the night of the incident, someone shot down the sky lantern in our Wutong Garden, causing a fire, which gave the bad guys an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"How did the murderer know where Monk Yanxiu lived?" Li Changge asked.
Li Qingnu replied: "Wutong Garden is not a secret place. The whereabouts of guests cannot be hidden from the eyes of those who are interested. The imperial capital is so big, and there are all kinds of people. There are Qingluan Guards, Imperial Capital Daofu, Tianchen Division, Dubu Division, Qingping Society, Ziguang Society, 'Inn', Wucheng Bingma Division, Shenshu Camp, Shenji Camp, Xuanhuiyuan. It is very easy to find the whereabouts of a person."
Li Changge asked again: "Didn't you find anything wrong beforehand? For example, someone was spying and squatting outside Wutong Garden."
Li Qingnu replied: "Monk Yanxiu is a Buddhist disciple in the return to the truth stage, but he was beaten to death and didn't even have a chance to escape. Even if he was careless, it's not It is something that ordinary people with innate powers can do. So we conclude that the murderer is a celestial being. Lord Yun also agrees with this. Since he is a celestial being, it is difficult for us to find him whether we spy on him or observe him secretly. "
Li Changge raised the tone of his question: "You just said that two people died, and there are only three people including Monk Yanxiu. It is impossible that there are only three people in such a big yard. What about the others?"
Li Qingnu answered calmly: "The others were all hit by the 'chaos god' method, so they left this yard early and did not leave any memory."
"The method of the witch." Li Changge said thoughtfully.
Qi Xuansu has calmed down now, and he is calm.
All the witnesses are my people, and no detective can do anything. Yanxiu, you are on my territory, what can you use to fight me?
An hour later, the person sent by Li Changge came back and brought a "image stone" and a "sound talisman". The "image stone" was a copy of the scene of the earth's qi tracing back, and the "sound talisman" was a record of the sound obtained through the spell tracing back. The two were just right to match. And it has been processed, there will definitely be no inappropriate scenes that pollute the eyes of several high-level masters and magicians.
Li Changge signaled that it could start.
The next moment, the scene of Monk Yanxiu being beaten to death reappeared.
The higher the realm of the person who fought, the greater the impact on the earth's qi. When it comes to the pseudo-immortal stage, there is no need to deliberately destroy the earth's qi. Just the aftermath of the attack can disturb the earth's qi. Qi Xuansu is a celestial being after all, so the figure in the earth's qi is slightly blurred. It can only be vaguely seen that it is an old man, and the specific appearance is not clear.
The earth's qi tracing back starts from the old man entering the door and ends when the old man leaves.
Originally, Qi Xuansu was worried about the flaws in his moves, so he thought of a set of excuses for this. However, he soon discovered that he had overestimated the earth's qi tracing back, or underestimated his current cultivation. Every time he and Yanxiu fought head-on, the picture of the earth's qi tracing back would be greatly affected by the vibration of the qi, or it would be blurred, or stuck, and even "black in front of the eyes" from time to time. Not to mention others, Qi Xuansu, the person involved, could not recognize it.
There is also the martial arts strength, which is invisible and intangible, and has no body spirit. Unless you fight in person, it is difficult to distinguish. On the contrary, with the blessing of the martial arts strength, the true qi of the scattered people seems to be much stronger, almost the true qi of a heavenly person refining qi. As for the short-lived golden body, it was covered by the red light of the "Da Ri Annihilation Body Method".
But the voice was still clear.
Qingping Society-Yanxiu had already revealed the origin of the murderer.
The word "Xuanyu" appears again and again, and the old man keeps forcing Yanxiu to hand over the "Xuanyu". Judging from the reaction of Monk Yanxiu, although he does not know the old man, it is definitely not the first time he has dealt with the Qingping Society, otherwise he would not say "the ghost is lingering".
In addition, Monk Yanxiu's explanation also mentioned Qi Xuansu, saying that the "Xuanyu" fell into Qi Xuansu's hands, but indirectly helped Qi Xuansu clear his suspicion.
Yao Pei said: "The matter is very clear. A celestial cultivator from the Qingping Society found Monk Yanxiu and asked him to hand over the "Xuanyu". Yanxiu refused and was beaten to death. The celestial from the Qingping Society also mentioned two ci tune names, namely "Xiao Qin Wang" and "Xie Qiu Niang". I think this is the mastermind behind the scenes."
Everyone nodded. Now it seems that there is no obvious flaw in this explanation.
Even Yunluo was a little surprised and doubtful. Did she guess wrong? It was not Qi Xuansu who did it?
Li Changge was not in a hurry to express his opinion, and looked at Qi Xuansu: "What do you think, Brother Qi?"
Qi Xuansu said: "I know the whole story about this matter."
Li Changge smiled and said: "I would like to hear the details."
Qi Xuansu said slowly: "In fact, I also mentioned this matter in my self-defense when I was falsely accused of being a demon from the Lingshan Witch Cult. That was last year. I was still a deacon of the Tiangang Hall and a subordinate of Deputy Hall Master Zhang. The two of us passed through Yishan City because of something, and found a group of members of the Lingshan Witch Cult here, who were secretly planning to descend from the gods. Deputy Hall Master Zhang and I defeated this group of demons, and I was promoted to a fifth-rank Taoist priest because of my merits."
Qi Xuansu told the whole story truthfully. Anyway, it was no secret that he had the "Heart of the Immortal Stone", and the matter of his feud with Yanxiu had been made clear long ago. Li Changge and others only submitted it to the Golden Palace after reviewing it.
Qi Xuansu emphasized the story of Xie Qiuniang: "Xie Qiuniang came for the 'Xuanyu'. She saw Wu Luo's divine power descending with her own eyes. Seeing that Yanxiu was not dead, she mistakenly thought that monk Yanxiu had obtained the 'Xuanyu', so she hunted down monk Yanxiu several times. It's ironic that even the members of the secret society didn't expect that Yanxiu, the evil monk, was so despicable that he made me a scapegoat. That's why he found the wrong person and let me get away with it."
Zhang Yuelu, who had never spoken, finally said: "I can testify to this."
Qi Xuansu just wanted to laugh three times.
There is a saying about the three royal families in Fenglinzhou, which refers to the three families of Owari Toyotomi, Omi Toyotomi, and Totomi Toyotomi who have the right to inherit the "Regent Kanpaku" in addition to the Toyotomi family. Does he count as gathering the three royal families of Taoism? The three families with the most hope of competing for the position of the Grand Master.
However, he still hoped that Zhang Yuelu would win the position of the Grand Master. After all, he was only friends with Yao Pei and Li Qingnu, and he could not compare with Zhang Yuelu.
But Qi Xuansu's face was very serious, and he said: "Now that I think about it, when I passed by Jinxiu Mansion, there were suddenly more suspicious people in the rivers and lakes. Maybe they were peripheral members of the Qingping Society."
Li Changge did not comment, and said: "Speaking of 'Xuanyu', how many 'Xuanyu' have you collected now, Brother Qi?"
Qi Xuansu said modestly: "To make Brother Li laugh, there are only three pieces, and I haven't been able to get the five Qi Chaoyuan yet."
"Brother Qi is really lucky." Li Changge smiled, "I have the help of the huge Li family, but I have only got five pieces of 'Xuanyu' so far. Brother Qi is alone, but he can get three pieces, which is really amazing."
Qi Xuansu was shocked.
Li Changge's words were full of meaning, pointing directly at Qi Niang behind him.
However, Qi Xuansu was not panicked, and said: "With five pieces of 'Xuanyu', as long as there is no shortage of divine power, Brother Li Dao can enter the boundless stage, right?"
Li Changge shook his head and said: "It's meaningless to pursue speed blindly. If you don't want to stop at pseudo-immortal, it's better to slow down."
Obviously, Li Changge knew more about the inside story of the "Heart of the Longevity Stone", so he didn't fill all the "Xuanyu" in his body with divine power to delay the improvement of his cultivation.
Qi Xuansu actually wanted to have a good exchange of experience with Li Changge, but he also knew that this was a delusion, so he could only suppress his doubts: "I dare not compare with Brother Li Dao."
Li Changge pointedly said: "A celestial cultivator who can use 'Luan Shen', born in Qingping Society, is also looking for 'Xuanyu', what does this mean?"
