Qingfeng Xu Xu

Xu Mulin walked in the direction pointed by Qi Kaiyuan just now. Sure enough, because there was a funeral tomorrow, there were more people showing off today. Xu Mulin couldn't get close to investigate for a while, so as not to arouse suspicion, so he simply found a place in front of him. He walked to the unused courtyard of the hall and flew up to the roof, thinking that he might have a chance to wait until later. It just so happened that Xu Mulin could also think about the recent events in this quiet place, as well as the information he had just heard from Qi Kaiyuan.

"Guxia Village, Longyin Village, Yuanyang Sect, all the major events that have happened in recent months, Qi Kaiyuan was present. What Xie Chi said back then,"I love to join in the fun" is indeed true, but it is definitely not as simple as joining in the fun. If you don't know what excitement is, how can it be such a coincidence every time? In short, Qi Kaiyuan cannot really be immune to everything. Xie Chi is controlled by Du Shengyang, and Du Shengyang is controlled by Qi Kaiyuan. Although Qi Kaiyuan will not directly give instructions to Xie Chi, maybe Xie Chi has discovered some clues after so many years, so he deliberately lured us in Longyin Village that day. Went to find Qi Kaiyuan and warned us to be careful about him."

"If the guess is correct, then Qi Kaiyuan must also know the martial arts skills that Du Shengyang looted from various factions, and then the mysterious person who seriously injured Qingjiu that day must also be Qi Kaiyuan. There were no lights in my house that day, so maybe it was just an accident that Qi Kaiyuan took me away. But then Qingjiu appeared, and Qi Kaiyuan turned around and gave Qingjiu such a deadly blow. Looking at Qi Kaiyuan's age, he had treated Qingjiu when he was young. It was most likely Qi Kaiyuan who was tortured in every possible way. There was also something strange when Qingjiu was in Wuzhou before, and it was after Qi Kaiyuan appeared. Maybe Qingjiu remembered something that happened to him when he was young, and thought of Qi Kaiyuan. Combined with Qi Kaiyuan's attempt to kill Qingjiu that day, perhaps it was because Qingjiu had learned some of Qi Kaiyuan's secrets. In the past, because we had always stayed in Tianzong and never left Meizhou, Qingjiu had always been safe. no worries"

"According to what Qi Kaiyuan himself said just now, he had been in Xiangzhou before, but he could arrive in Luzhou so quickly. It is very likely that Qi Kaiyuan knew that Du Shengyang was dead, or that Qi Kaiyuan had already made his own decision. Got Du Shengyang's tail. In short, as long as it can be confirmed that Du Shengyang's death was not an accident, then the person who has been hiding behind him must be Qi Kaiyuan."

"But all this is just my speculation based on what I have experienced along the way. If I tell it, will anyone believe my judgment? But if I deal with Qi Kaiyuan alone, there is really no chance of winning, but there is no way that Qingjiu will be involved in this matter. This time I come to Luzhou, it is good to send him back to Tianzong in advance. Otherwise, if Qi Kaiyuan has any other plans, Now we are like a sheep in a tiger's mouth, so he must take action. This matter? If Qi Kaiyuan is the one who planned everything, then he is also related to the death of Master Li. Maybe Jichu and Jihua will help, but should I tell them?...Master? Yes, Master. When Master reminded me of Qingjiu's life experience and what happened to me when I was young, it was just to make me pay attention to the people around me. Maybe after telling Master about it, he could think of a way to deal with it. Moreover, if everything is true, then Qi Kaiyuan must be inseparable from the affairs of Master Li and Plum Blossom Villa. In this case, Master cannot ignore it."

Everything was calculated clearly. After hearing that the front hall was much quieter, Xu Mulin went directly to the roof of the front hall and gently opened a few tiles. They landed on Du Shengyang's coffin accurately. Xu Mulin He had to quietly move two steps to the side. However, although Du Shengyang's coffin had not been completely covered, only a section of his head was exposed, and even the neck could not be seen. Xu Mulin moved a few more directions, but still could not see. clearer

"Still have to go down and check."Xu Mulin was thinking in his mind and looked around at the people keeping watch."Both Du Ling and Du Mo are not here. Only a few servants are here, but they are too close to the coffin. I will definitely be discovered as soon as I enter. I don’t know if the servants will be rotated. If I keep being this energetic, I won’t have a chance at all. There were only a few hours until dawn, and it would be even more impossible to wait until dawn to investigate. After the burial, it would be impossible to dig out and see. I'm afraid it would still have to be drugged or something like that."But Xu Mulin really didn't have this skill. Just when Xu Mulin was weighing whether it would be too embarrassing for Ji Hua and Du Ling to point out the problems with Du Shengyang's death in front of everyone tomorrow, everything suddenly turned around. He just knelt down. The servants and disciples in front of Du Shengyang's mourning hall were still burning paper money and adding incense, but when Xu Mulin was thinking quickly, all of them suddenly turned around as if they were extremely sleepy. Falling aside. When Xu Mulin saw this scene, it was naturally impossible for him to think that these people were all asleep together. Now Xu Mulin cannot be the only one who has doubts about the cause of Du Shengyang's death. However, the intention of the visitor is unclear and cannot be determined. Whether it conflicted with his own purpose, Xu Mulin had no choice but to continue squatting on the roof, waiting to see what would happen next.

Not long after the servant disciple fell, a woman all in white, who seemed to be wearing mourning clothes, slowly stepped into Xu Mulin In his sight, Xu Mulin couldn't help but wonder: Never heard of Du Shengyang having a daughter, this person? Thinking like this, when he saw the face of the woman below clearly, Xu Mulin almost couldn't help but exclaimed. But now it was confirmed. At least he was not an enemy, so Xu Mulin also jumped off the roof and walked softly into the front hall.

As soon as he entered the front hall, Xu Mulin also felt that he was in an awkward situation. He didn't know whether to cough or call Qiu Ji directly. The name reminded her of her arrival. Before Xu Mulin could think about it, Qiu Ji turned around to check if anyone was coming. When she turned around and saw a person standing behind her, she almost spilled the powder in her sleeve. Fortunately, Xu Mulin's face is easy to recognize, and Qiu Ji's movements were timely.

"Mr. Xu? Why are you here?"

"Miss Qiu, I haven’t seen you for several months, but you are fine now."Xu Mulin nodded slightly and smiled, and then walked towards Qiu Ji,"It's a long story, but the reason why Xu is here is probably the same as Miss Qiu."After saying that, Xu Mulin walked sideways from Qiu Ji to Du Shengyang's coffin, pushed the coffin lid back a lot, and exposed Du Shengyang's body to the palm of his hand. However, the coffin was placed a bit high, which was inconvenient for Xu Mulin. Check it out, think about it, maybe you have to stand up to see it clearly.

"excuse me."Although Xu Mulin doesn't have a good impression of Du Shengyang, it is still too rude to do such a thing while standing on someone else's coffin.

Xu Mulin pressed his fingers on Du Shengyang's heart and abdomen, and there was nothing abnormal. But Xu Mulin came up from the beginning At that moment, he felt that Du Shengyang's collar was too high, almost covering his chin. Xu Mulin only slightly opened the collar, and a modified scar was revealed in front of Xu Mulin. Xu Mulin thought in his mind With: One knife kills, and the marks seem to be very similar to the scars on Qingjiu's body, the same sword, the same internal strength and sword edge. Sure enough, all the speculations are now confirmed.

Xu Mulin pulled up the sleeves of Du Shengyang's hands again , there is a sword mark at the same place where Xu Qingjiu injured the man's arm. Unfortunately, it was obviously made after death. Although the wound was disguised, it can still be found if you look carefully, and Xu Mulin knew Xu Qingjiu very well. The scars on Du Shengyang's hands obviously did not match Qing Jiu's sword edge.

From this point of view, Qi Kaiyuan first ordered Du Shengyang to assassinate Qing Jiu, and then eliminated the possibility of Du Shengyang being silenced. I am afraid that Qi Kaiyuan would Decided to kill Du Shengyang, cut off his tail to protect his safety, and tried to use Du Shengyang's identity to do something, intending to frame the dead man. In this way, there is no proof of death again

"Mr. Xu, how are you? Is it Du Shengyang?"

Xu Mulin tidied up Du Shengyang's clothes, moved the coffin lid back to its original position, and then replied to Qiu Ji:"Go out first and find a place to talk slowly."After that, Xu Mulin walked out first.

Qiu Ji just glanced at the coffin hesitantly and then left with Xu Mulin.

Xu Mulin took Qiu Ji to an abandoned yard and looked around to confirm. Then he looked at Qiu Ji and asked:"Now the Yuanyang Sect is a place of right and wrong, why are you the only one here? Are you here to confirm whether Du Shengyang is really dead?"

"Has Mr. Xu already guessed the truth about Luo Qiugu?"

We haven't seen each other for a few months. Qiu Ji has changed a lot, but the biggest change is his expression. When he was in Wuzhou, he had experienced family breakup and death, so his expression was gloomy. But now, Qiu Ji's face is more than gloomy, depressed, and lost. The lifeless expression was all on the face of this young woman. So when Xu Mulin saw Qiu Ji for the first time, he was even a little unsure. But after thinking about it, he may have understood why Qiu Ji is now It will be like this

"Do you know everything? Did Miss Su tell you?"

"Looking back now, Sister Qingwu probably wanted to tell me that at the time. But maybe she thought I wouldn't believe it, or maybe she didn't want me to know the truth, just like Mr. Xu and you chose to leave first. After all, for me, this truth is indeed too cruel. I have always believed that Xie Chi was the culprit. After I gave him the poison that day, I began to be immersed in the excitement of finally avenging my father and the people of Luoqiu Valley. Although Sister Qingwu gave me the antidote, I was still When I vaguely heard Xie Chi admit that the incident in Luo Qiugu was related to him, I had even decided not to give him the antidote. Until the scene started to panic, and when I turned around and saw that he was dead before you and I left, I still felt extremely happy. Even in the end, when the news about Du Shengyang and Xie Chi's collusion spread throughout the world, Xie Chi was still the only one I hated the most. So many sects were targeting the Yuanyang sect, but I didn't even think about coming to the door again and killing him with my own hands. I chose Du Shengyang because at that time I just felt that Du Shengyang had been ruined and would die sooner or later."Qiu Ji sneered, and after a long sigh he continued:"People's thoughts are really strange. When my father learned about what Xie Chi did to me, even though he had always been a modest and elegant doctor, he still didn't care. I drew my sword without hesitation to kill Xie Chi, but I wanted to discredit Xie Chi even more, so I stopped my father. Later, I firmly felt that as long as I killed him, everything would be enough....Until that day, the words Xie Chi said,"No see you for a year," suddenly flashed through my mind, and my insistence that he deserved death suddenly began to waver. I have always believed that my father saved me, but I never thought that the truth I thought was so contradictory. If Xie Chi is plotting to 'Yun He Bai', then after he breaks free, the first person he will look for must be his father. In this case, how can his father, a weak man, be worthy of Xie Chi, a martial arts practitioner? How could you possibly have the chance to go up the mountain to look for me and hide me? I didn't care before whether Xie Chi was instigated by others to kill me in Luoqiu Valley. As long as everything happened because of him, then he should die. And what about Xie Chi? Even though he didn't do everything with his own hands, when everyone died because of him, he felt that he deserved to die....From this point of view, I am not as good as Xie Chi. I traveled thousands of miles to come to the Yuanyang Sect alone. In fact, until now I don’t know why? Maybe I want to ask Du Shengyang personally whether Xie Chi really didn't kill my father with his own hands. Maybe, I still don't want to admit that this is the truth."

"The truth is sometimes more difficult to accept than reality"

"yes...It's really hard to accept, but the truth still found me." Qiu Ji's eyes showed a kind of desolation,"Is Du Shengyang really dead?"

""Dead."

Qiu Ji was silent for a while and then suddenly started laughing, as if he was helplessly caught by fate again,"It seems that God has given me two more ways, accept the truth, or continue to deceive myself.""

"What choice will Miss Qiu make? Qiu

Ji looked at the night and pondered, and after a long time he sighed:"I choose to accept and deceive sometimes. I choose to be confused. Maybe one day I will not be able to tell which is true and which is false." Now in this world, no one knows the truth except Mr. Xu."Looking at Xu Mulin's confused look, Qiu Ji continued:"When I left Xie Chi's study with you that day, I brought out a letter. The signature on the envelope was Sister Qingwu, and I personally signed one with Qingwu. The truth about Sister Wu was handed over to her. Later, when I followed Sister Qingwu back to Longyin Village, I saw Sister Qingwu in such pain. I just don’t know what choice she made, and whether she is as unwilling to believe it as I am, so I have to ask Xie Chi in person."

Xu Mulin didn't realize what Qiu Ji meant for a moment, but Qiu Ji continued:"I haven't contacted Sister Qingwu since I last saw her at Longyin Village that day. I didn't kill her with my own hands, but I put the truth that killed her into her hands with my own hands. I'm really not even as good as Xie Chi."

"Killing Xie Chi for revenge was originally the choice you two made together. Even if she didn't know it that day, she would find out one day. Just like you, one day you suddenly discovered from various clues that the truth is not as good as what you always believed. reality."
