Volume 01 Salt Coffin and Gold Pillar

When Tao Ming and Liang Jing heard Master Bao say, "The mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind," they both went to see Su Jiugu - could it be you and your senior brother Mei Busheng...

Su Jiugu rolled her eyes and said, "Master, senior brother, do you two have any brains?"

Tao Ming and Liang Jing's faces were both dark. Even Xiao Liangzi shook his head, "It's not like you have no brains. If you had the brains, you wouldn't be like this."

The two lowered their heads and sighed.

"I don't understand anything else." Su Jiugu was also very angry, "But if our Maoshan sect is destroyed, then only one family will benefit the most."

After saying that, Su Jiugu turned around and glanced at the other master involved in the case who was almost forgotten by everyone - Kong Yue.

Following Su Jiugu's gaze, everyone also looked at Kong Yue.

"Third Month Zhai..." Su Jiugu looked at Kong Yue and sneered, "If our Maoshan sect in the Central Plains falls, you, the Maoshan sect in the Western Regions, will be the ones who directly benefit. Zhaiyue is also dead, and it will be you Kong from now on.

Yue has the final say."

Kong Yue was angry, "Alas! Su Jiugu, with your red mouth and white teeth, don't spit on others with blood! What evidence do you have?!"

"Your sneak attack on Yutang is actually the same as Tao Ming's move." Tianzun glanced at Kong Yue, "In other words, in addition to Tao Ming being able to control the presence or absence of pupil ghosts to carry out sneak attacks, you can also

Yes, but you have never used it in front of us."

Kong Yue shook her head, "Alas! The old god has promoted me. If I really knew such powerful martial arts, I wouldn't be punished by your apprentice."

Tianzun was angry and funny, "Are you going to be dealt with by my apprentice, you idiot!"

Bai Yutang reluctantly patted his master to calm him down.

"Tian Yuxuan is not haunted by ordinary people. Apart from Tao Ming, you are the only one who can do it." The more Shen Tianyu thought about it, the more strange he felt, "Besides, the water in my Tian Yuxuan lake is crystal clear and I have never seen a coffin before.

, there are more sarcophagi, I always feel that there is a higher possibility that someone put them in!"

"Furthermore, Zhai Yue is a highly skilled martial artist, but he died of poisoning. You are the person he was close to, and it would be easier for you to poison him than anyone else." Bai Yutang also said, "Once the Maoshan faction has eliminated Tao Ming and Liang Jing, Mei Buying and Su Jiugu

They are no match for you. It is only natural for you to move the Moon Picking to March Zhai in the northwest and then move it back and replace it with the Maoshan Sect."

"In this way, the leaders of the three branches of the Maoshan faction are all dead." Zhao Pu nodded, feeling that Kong Yue's plan was still very thorough, "You can unify these three factions, you are indeed very ambitious.

"You..." Kong Yue was anxious, "Don't accuse good people unjustly! What evidence do you have to prove that I am related to this case?"

"Don't tell me, I really have a personal ID!" As he said that, Zhan Zhao waved gently to Zhe Ying, who was standing next to the screen on one side of the lobby.

The ocher shadow helped a blind woman out from behind the screen.

This woman was the only survivor left in the Taiwei Mansion massacre, the blind Granny Su.

"Mother-in-law." Zhan Zhao asked Grandma Su, "Did you hear the housekeeper's voice while you were listening to the trial?"

Granny Su nodded and told everyone that the Kong Yue who just spoke was the housekeeper who was in the cellar of the Taiwei Mansion that day!

Zhan Zhao asked Liang Jing, "You just said that your master killed Cao Kui after he rushed out... Where did he rush out from?"

Liang Jing and Tao Ming looked at each other and replied, "The room..."

"Have you two never been in the cellar?" Gongsun also asked.

The master and apprentice looked puzzled, "What cellar?"

"According to the description of Granny Su, the only witness in this case, on the day of the incident, Cao Kui asked her to use the soul-changing technique, but something similar to the corpse beast case happened when the bones were resurrected and attacked, causing her to become blind. The person who was in the cellar at that time

"In addition to Cao Kui, there is also a housekeeper who has never appeared." Zhan Zhao said, "It takes tangible internal power to control the skeleton to attack people. As a witness, Granny Su must survive because she needs to use her mouth to explain.

What happened at that time can connect this case with the case of the Corpse King. But we can't leave any witnesses who saw her appearance, so the best way is to blind her through internal force. Unfortunately, she not only remembers you

Face, I still remember your voice!”

"This..." Kong Yue still argued, "This is nonsense! She might have heard it wrong!"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "You don't admit it, right? Then invite another witness to come out."

Kong Yue frowned and looked at Zhan Zhao suspiciously - are there any witnesses?!

At this time, Ziying walked out from behind the screen holding something and put the thing on the ground. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be a huge turtle.

"This tortoise was imprisoned in the coffin in the ancient tomb in the western suburbs." Zhan Zhao said, "This kind of tortoise does not exist in the Central Plains. The four-clawed sand tortoise is very rare."

While he was talking, the sand turtle actually crawled towards Kong Yue, as if he was very familiar with him. After crawling to his feet, he raised his head high and looked at him. "

Kong Yue's face turned pale instantly.

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "Before Zhai Yue died, he asked me to take care of the disciples of San Yue Zhai... I arranged the young disciples of San Yue Zhai in a separate courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion. That courtyard was very close to the stables, and this turtle was raised there.

In the stable. A few days ago, I saw some young apprentices feeding this turtle. What do you think they said?"

At this time, Kong Yue was trembling all over unconsciously.

"They said that this was a sand turtle that their master picked from the moon and raised. It was called Yueyingshan. Their master liked this turtle very much and kept it with him from the northwest to the Central Plains. However, after staying at the inn, he didn't know where it was hiding.

Went. It is said that Yueying Mountain likes to dig into the sand. When it sees a pile of sand, it will dig in and bury itself... And you often pick dandelions to feed it, so it likes you very much."

Having said this, Kong Yue collapsed on the ground.

"Let me tell you why there is a tortoise in the coffin containing the corpse." Pang Yu discussed with Bao Yan in a low voice, "Gangqing saw a pile of sand so he got in, but he was put into the coffin and couldn't get out.

"

Bao Yan also nodded, "So the Dharma network is wide open and there are no leaks. This is all God's will!"

…

The tortoise is very spiritual. Zhao Zhen called Yueyingshan a few times, and it slowly crawled over. It was gentle and well-behaved. Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand to touch it and looked at Kong Yue who was slumped on the ground. "It turns out that it's your master."

The turtle you raised exposed your evil deeds, you deceiver and destroyer of our ancestors!"

At this point, the murder case of the Taiwei Mansion was solved, and Kong Yue also confessed everything. It was indeed him who placed the sarcophagus in Tianyuxuan and pretended to be haunted.

Kong Yue has been studying the martial arts of the Maoshan sect over the years. He heard many stories from Zhai Yue about the battles between the three sects. Over the years, Tao Ming's health became worse and worse, and Zhai Yue gradually declined, so Kong Yue wanted to replace him.

.

According to Kong Yue's explanation, the full picture of the case was revealed to everyone.

When Princess Salt Coffin died, the Taoist priest who took care of her affairs was the one who avenged her lover.

The Taoist priest was an ancient saint of the Maoshan sect, and he mastered the martial arts before the secrets of Maoshan were divided. He recorded those martial arts in the princess's funerary objects.

Some of the funerary objects were obtained by the demon concubine Yayan, while others were scattered throughout the Western Region.

The Corpse King, Zhai Yue and Tao Ming all went to the Western Regions to search for these funerary objects and obtained some, but none were complete.

Later, Yan Yan asked Cao Mo (later the Corpse King) to help her usurp the throne in exchange for the funeral objects of Princess Salt Coffin in her hands.

But before the plan succeeded, Cao Mo's good friend Kuishan saw through it. Kuishan was the elder of the Maoshan sect and the disciple of Chen Tong and Tao Ming.

It is said that it was Li Min who arranged for Kui Shan to deal with Yu Yan's matter. It can be seen that Li Min actually knew it well. According to the Demon King, it is not easy to deceive Li Min.

After Yu Yan and Cao Mo's plan failed, they had no choice but to "disappear".

They fled to Xizhou Prefecture, Cao Mo and Kuishan turned against each other, and the inn was compromised. From then on, Cao Mo ceased to exist... He moved to Shu and survived as the "King of Corpses".

The relationship between Cao Mo and Yu Yan was originally to use each other, but Ya Yan had a large number of Princess Salt Coffin's relics, and she hid them all in Xizhou Mansion as a threat. The Corpse King protected Yu Yan's safety, and Ya Yan

After a while, Yan gave him some funerary objects and helped him practice Qigong.

However, after the Corpse King had practiced for a period of time, he discovered that his previous martial arts skills and his own internal strength were mutually exclusive. If he found out that these relics were completely worthless to him, then there would be nothing left for Yayan to blackmail him.

So Yayan used a trick to trick him into practicing kung fu and he became obsessed with it. In the end, zombie beasts besieged the city, causing the corpse king to die at the hands of Lu Tianhan.

The Corpse King said he was deceived before he died, and the person who deceived him was indeed the demon concubine Yayan.

Unlike several martial arts masters, what Ya Yan values ​​​​more is actually the trickery in Maoshan Shu.

The reason why the Corpse King creates corpse beasts is because Yayan has always been obsessed with the soul-calling technique in Maoshan Technique.

Yuyan is getting older, her youth is gone, and her rights have not been seized. However, if she can master the soul-calling and soul-changing technique in Maoshan Shu, then she will be dead in the future, and future generations will summon her back at the right time to find a new one.

If she exchanges her young and fresh body for her soul, she can live forever.

Yayan spent the rest of her life exploring spiritualism, including her adopted Cao Kui.

Cao Kui and Cao Mo looked very similar when they were young.

Yu Yan adopted him and taught him the secret skills from the salt coffin relics. Cao Kui was not very good at martial arts, but he was proficient in and obsessed with tricks.

The reason why Yu Yan forged the portraits of Princess Salt Coffin and others was to convince Cao Kui that the art of soul exchange does exist, and that as long as you study it carefully, you can live forever.

During this period, the young Cao Kui met Kong Yue, a senior of the Maoshan sect who was highly skilled in martial arts!

They met in the northwest. Cao Kui went to Xizhou Mansion when he was very young to search for the lost relics of the Salt Coffin Princess for Ya Yan. It was there that he and Kong Yue met.

It was also because Zhaiyue had practiced martial arts by mistake that year that he made a mistake in performing the soul-stirring technique, which led to the tragedy of a large number of innocent people being tricked and jumping off a cliff.

It's just that Zhai Yue was not like the Corpse King when he happened to encounter Lu Tianhan being punished. The only one who knew his secret was Tao Ming.

Tao Ming made a deal with Zhai Yue. Zhai Yue traveled to the Western Regions and was never allowed to search for "ancient martial arts" again. All the things he had found before were given to Tao Ming.

In this way, in Tao Ming's view, both his fellow sects, Zhaiyue and Corpse King, had been eradicated by him. From then on, the "ancient martial arts" would belong to him alone. He did indeed begin to seriously study the tangible internal force, and as a result, he achieved

The pupil-less ghost has gone down a wrong path.
