Chapter 1412 The fog behind the scenes
Song Changshan was horrified when he saw Suzaku's attack, and said in a trembling voice: "We are the ones who offended, and we deserve death. I am willing to die to apologize, just to let these disciples go."
"Are you really willing to risk your life to protect them?" Qin Xiao asked.
Song Changshan nodded immediately, but his tone was firm: "Please do it!"
Qin Xiao said: "Close your eyes and open your mouth!"
Song Changshan didn't know what Qin Xiao wanted. Although he still had the absolute upper hand at the moment, he knew that he had no resistance at all. He closed his eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and then felt something being thrown into his mouth.
He was shocked in his heart and was about to spit it out, but he heard Qin Xiao say in a cold voice: "Swallow it!"
He had no choice but to swallow it.
"Very good." Song Changshan opened his eyes and saw Qin Xiao looking at him with a smile.
"What did you swallow for me?"
"It must be a good thing." Qin Xiao came closer and whispered a few words in Song Changshan's ear. Song Changshan looked surprised, lowered his head, thought for a while, and finally asked: "Can you really keep your promise?"
Qin Xiaodao: "Your matter is nothing to me."
"Okay!" Song Changshan no longer hesitated, struggled to stand up and said, "As long as you keep your promise, I am willing to listen to your orders."
Qin Xiao didn't waste any time. He winked at Zhuque and then got into the car. Zhuque was a little suspicious when he saw this, but he didn't say anything more. He floated to the front of the car and entered the carriage.
"Let's continue on our way." Qin Xiao ordered. Black Bat didn't say much. He shook the horse's reins and urged the horse. Fire Crow followed immediately. In just a moment, the carriage drove away, leaving only the Iron Brave Sword Sect.
a group of people.
The carriage was sparkling, and Suzaku stared at Qin Xiao in the carriage and asked, "What did you say to him?"
"I suddenly thought of a good idea." Qin Xiao said: "Aunt Ying, we can pretend to be people from the Tiesha Sword Sect and use this group of people as a cover, so that no one will pay too much attention. Song Changshan has already agreed to obey
I think it’s not a bad thing to let this group of people act as a cover for our instructions.”
Suzaku said: "Is he so obedient?"
"The decision of life and death cannot be made without him being disobedient." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "And I also promised him that if everything goes well and they can be honest and obedient, then I can give him the sword manual of [Tiefeng Spirit Sword]. Tie Sha
The sword sect is not very famous in the world, and although that sword manual is very important to the Tiesha Sword Sect, it will probably be left in a corner in the Penglai Island library, and Aunt Ying should not be reluctant to part with it."
Suzaku said: "The Tiesha Sword Sect relied on the [Tiefeng Spiritual Sword] to establish the sect. The founder also had some strength in swordsmanship and was considered the number one figure at that time. In addition to practicing Taoism, Master was also obsessed with martial arts.
, is very interested in various martial arts. Back then, when he went to the Tiesha Sword Sect in disguise, he was actually quite polite. He just asked them to take a look at the simplified music scores, and had no intention of taking the swordsmanship away. However, the Tiesha Sword Sect firmly refused.
They refused, and even wanted to imprison the master. Naturally, the master couldn't stand the rudeness of the gang, so he killed their leader, announced his family status, and asked them to hand over the sword manual. He only said to take the sword manual back and read it first.
For a few days, I didn’t say I wouldn’t return it to them, but then I forgot about it.”
Qin Xiao sighed inwardly, thinking that although Dao Zun is a cultivator, he behaves like a robber and is cunning. In fact, his character is really not that good, and he is even a little despicable. However, these words are naturally inappropriate.
Dare to say it in front of Suzaku.
"I know what you are thinking." Zhuque obviously saw Qin Xiao's thoughts and sighed quietly: "Master acts overbearingly, and some of his actions are really not worthy of being a member of the Taoist sect. But he treats me as his own family, and his kindness is as great as a mountain.
No matter what he does to others, as long as he treats me well, I will try my best to repay him."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly, thinking that from a personal perspective, there is nothing wrong with keeping grudges clear.
"Since they agreed to obey the order, why didn't they follow?" Suzaku asked, "Aren't you afraid that they would retreat halfway?"
"When you kill someone, they always have to bury the body." Qin Xiao sighed: "You can't just throw the body on the roadside. And I gave him poison. He knew that the antidote was in my hand. If he wanted to survive, he just had to
Be obedient. After burying the body, they will follow."
Suzaku said "Oh", thought for a moment, and then asked: "Are you blaming me for killing someone?"
Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment and then said: "Actually, there is no blame. They are going to Penglai Island. In the eyes of Aunt Ying, they are naturally enemies, and it is natural for them to kill the enemy. But...!
He glanced at Zhuque and saw that his expression was calm, and he said warmly: "Actually, Aunt Ying, a Taoist cultivator, shouldn't have too much blood on her hands."
Suzaku said calmly: "As long as Tianzhai can be protected, it doesn't matter if blood flows like a river."
Qin Xiao just forced a smile.
In fact, he is not a soft-hearted person. If he has murderous intentions, his actions will definitely be ruthless.
But today I just feel that those two people are not worthy of death.
After all, in Qin Xiao's view, everyone has parents and relatives. As long as they are not evil people, they do not have to be killed. If they are not a threat to themselves, they can spare one life.
I really enjoy Aunt Ying's softer side these days, and I don't want her to be a murderous female Taoist nun.
He could also understand that Suzaku grew up on Penglai Island and had followed Tao Zun for many years. His temperament was more or less influenced by Tao Zun. He regarded other people's lives as nothing but trivial matters and would avenge his enemies. This was also a temperament that was difficult to change.
"The situation seems to be more serious than I thought." Aunt Ying was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Even a small sect like the Tiesha Sword Sect has received the news, which is really beyond my expectation." Then she frowned and said.
: "Do you have that secret letter in your hand?"
Qin Xiao knew that Aunt Ying had a sixth-level cultivation, and her conversation with Song Changshan outside must have fallen into Aunt Ying's ears. Without saying anything, he took the secret letter and handed it to Aunt Ying. Aunt Ying took out the letter and opened it.
Come, then open the car curtains, lean over and take a quick look.
There is a moon tonight, and with the sixth-level eyesight, Aunt Ying can naturally see the writing on it clearly.
"Who do you think this was written by?" Aunt Ying put away the letter and handed it back to Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao took it and shook his head and said: "The handwriting is ordinary and has no characteristics. Anyone can write it. I want to learn from the handwriting.
There is no way to judge the source."
Aunt Ying thought for a while and then said: "When Master was killed, in the hall, besides you and me, there were people from Tantai Xuanye and people from Jiangu. Other than that, there was only Zhongxing Dengye from Bohai.
The imperial army under Tantai Xuanye does not know the master, and it is impossible for you and me to leak the news, so the only remaining possibilities are Sword Valley, Zhongxing Dengye and Tantai Xuanye." After a pause, he said:
"Although Bashan later found out about this, they wanted to monopolize Penglai Island's library and would definitely not publicize it to the outside world."
"Who do you think Auntie Ying is secretly spreading the news about Dao Zun's emergence?"
Auntie Ying shook her head slightly.
"I think the most likely one is Tantai Xuanye." Qin Xiao whispered: "He wants to destroy Tianzhai, lead the rivers and lakes forces to the island like a tide, and use the hands of various factions in the rivers and lakes to completely destroy Tianzhai, but
Now it seems that he was not the one spreading the news behind the scenes."
"Why so sure?"
"What does Auntie Ying think of the reputation of the Tiesha Sword Sect in the world?"
"A few decades ago, it was relatively well-known in the Northeast." Zhuque said slowly, "However, there are many sects in the martial arts world. Even during the heyday of the Tiesha Sword Sect, it was only somewhat famous in a corner of the Northeast. I'm afraid there aren't many sects in the pass.
Over the past few years, they have become even more unknown. If it weren’t for the fact that their master killed their sword master, I wouldn’t know much about them. In fact, there is no news about them in the world in recent years. If it weren’t for tonight
When I meet you, I'm afraid I've forgotten that there is such a sword sect in the world."
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "What Aunt Ying said is absolutely true, and I think so too." After a pause, he continued: "Aunt Ying thinks that such a sword sect, which is not very famous in this corner of the Northeast, can Tantai Xuanye do it?"
Will you know?"
When Zhuque heard this, he immediately understood Qin Xiao's meaning and said, "That's right. Tantai Xuanye was at the border in his early years, and later in Kyoto, most of the people he came into contact with were people serving in the court. Even if he investigated the forces in the world, he would only know
It should be impossible for a large sect like Bashan to know about a small sect like Tiesha Sword Sect."
"So even if he wanted to spread the news, he would not think of the Tiesha Sword Sect, and even asked someone to send a secret message." Qin Xiao said in a low voice: "The Sword Valley is far outside the Kunlun Pass, and is actually rarely within the borders of the Tang Dynasty.
activities, let alone activities in the Northeast, so if nothing else happens, Sword Valley should not be aware of the existence of the Tiesha Sword Sect."
Suzaku couldn't help but nod slightly, frowning and said: "If it's not Tantai Xuanye and Jiangu who spread the news, then who can it be?" Then he looked at Qin Xiao's eyes and said, "Could it be that Bank of China went to the wild?"
"Why does Aunt Ying think it's him?" Qin Xiao asked: "If it's him spreading the news, what's his motive?"
Suzaku pondered for a moment, then said: "The Bohai Sea is not far from the Northeast, and there are trade exchanges on both sides, whether by land or sea. BOC Dengye has a very high status in the Bohai Sea, and I heard that the monarchs of the Bohai Sea are in awe of him.
There are indeed many Jianghu sects in the county, but compared to Tantai Xuanye and Jiangu, Zhongxing Dengye's Heishui Island is adjacent to the Northeast, so he is more likely to know all the sects in the Northeast." He paused slightly, with beautiful eyes.
Staring at Qin Xiaodao: "If he spreads news in the Northeast and deliberately lures the Northeastern sects to go to Penglai Island, causing these sects and the disciples left on the island to fight, thereby weakening the power on the island, he can take advantage of it and seize the sky.
Zhai Zang Library."
Qin Xiaodao: "Zhongxing Dengye was seriously injured in the palace. Aunt Ying, you also witnessed it with your own eyes. Do you think his injury can be recovered quickly? It has been less than two months since Dao Zun became immortal. According to Song Changshan, he has already
I received the secret message more than ten days ago. If Bank of China Dengye sent someone to deliver the letter, it would take some time on the way to deliver the letter. Be careful, it only takes a month from the time when Taoist Master ascends to the world to the time BOC Dengye spreads the news."
Looking into his charming eyes, he said softly: "In just one month, Zhongxing Dengye must recover from his injuries, and then quickly rush back to Blackwater Island, and then send someone to deliver a message to spread the news of Dao Zun's emergence to the Northeastern sects.
..., Auntie Ying, do you think he can really do it if time is so short?"
Zhuque looked solemn. Although according to the analysis of the two of them, Bank of China Dengye was indeed the most likely person to spread the news, the doubts raised by Qin Xiao were also the biggest problems.
The injuries suffered by Zhongxing Dengye were no ordinary injuries.
That was severely wounded by Wei Wuya, the great master of the palace.
At that time, the two sides were fighting to the death, both wanting to put the other party to death. Wei Wuya took the risk of being hit by the Taoist priest and just kicked Zhongxing Dengye in the abdomen with the force of his master.
If he had a cultivation level in the Great Heaven realm, he would definitely be killed on the spot.
Even though he narrowly escaped death, the Grandmaster's power was like a diamond. Back then, Taoist Master was struck by the sword god and it took him twenty years to recover. Zhongxing Denye wanted to recover from his injuries within a month and even escape from the palace and return to Heishui Island in the Bohai Sea safely.
