Qian Xuefeng is a sect that does not approve of private fights among its disciples. In order to reduce the occurrence of accidents, it has an annual competition. It not only assesses the progress of the disciples in their studies, distributes rewards, but also takes the opportunity to give the disciples a chance to show their strength. As long as
If you show your strength and everyone knows the depth of your cultivation level, there will naturally be fewer people who are short-sighted and will challenge strong people who they cannot defeat.
However, it has been a long time since Qian Xuefeng's competition was so lively. Before it officially started, some disciples came out to talk and choke. They didn't take the rules seriously at all, and even had multiple people sniping at one person.
, this is already bad, but the person who was sniped has a very special status, he is a handyman, which makes the matter difficult to deal with.
It is not unprecedented in the past. Some formal disciples were too proud, which aroused the jealousy of the handymen. In the end, the handymen united and ambushed the formal disciple with more than ten people. The final result was not suspense. The handymen were defeated.
Several people died, and the official disciple was not guilty of self-defense. But this time, the incident was similar, but the whole situation was reversed. The official disciples jointly ambushed a handyman. This behavior can be regarded as a shameless sneak attack, and they responded with a big bully.
He was young and relied on the crowd to bully others, but in the end, the formal disciples were defeated and fled, almost killing someone, which shocked those who knew about it.
It is impossible not to be surprised, because the man who was seriously injured and almost died was not an ordinary person, but a leader among the young disciples. Tang Chao, who was also known as the double showman with Mu Cangyun, not only
He is very powerful and is about to reach the realm of Yijin. He is one of the very few male disciples in Qianxue Peak who is allowed to practice the Ice Divine Power and is successful in it. Even Iron Sword Canglong Mu Cangyun does not have this honor... Such a handsome man,
He was actually seriously injured by a single move, and the one who made the move was a little handyman. How could people not be shocked and shocked by this?
Knowing this, Qian Jiansou was furious and hurriedly came to ask for help. However, the execution hall was a step faster and arrived at the scene first, taking everyone back for interrogation. The results came out quickly, and Tang Chao was killed with one move.
The little handyman who was seriously injured by the whip said that the whole thing was all because of the bone whip in his hand. He had no idea about it and couldn't figure out what was going on.
"This bone whip has always been on my body. I carry it with me and sometimes use it as a belt. At that time, many people beat one of me, and another jumped very high and drew his sword to attack me. I didn't recognize it was Tang.
Senior brother, I’m just so scared, I don’t know why so many of them came to beat me.”
Meng Yan showed a fearful expression from time to time when he spoke, which was completely different from the boldness he showed when he challenged Mu Cangyun in the martial arts academy that day, "I wanted to escape, but somehow this whip saw a ghost and suddenly started to move on its own. I grabbed the whip to make it stop."
Move, the whip swings out by itself, and then... Then Senior Brother Tang was beaten out. I don't know anything. I am the victim... In order to show innocence, you can take this whip for inspection. The matter is really related to
I have nothing to do with it, I haven’t done anything?”
Lan Jieying, the elder in charge of the execution hall, was personally present. After listening to Meng Yan's words, he just asked: "Where did you get this bone whip?"
"Elder, this whip is inherited from my family. It was passed down from our ancestors."
"How did your ancestor get it?"
"...I heard that I picked it up from the road while walking the dog."
Although it is an insincere confession, no matter how strict Qian Xuefeng’s sect rules are, it is impossible to stipulate that disciples are not allowed to bring ancestral weapons to the entrance, and it is even more impossible to stipulate that other people’s ancestors cannot pick up things randomly on the road. Besides, although such words
It sounds absurd, but in fact there are many opportunities for it to happen. The fighting in the arena has never stopped. No matter how majestic a warrior is, he may encounter a more powerful warrior at any time. When they fight, people will be killed.
The weapon also fell somewhere and was picked up after a certain period of time. It was just a piece of land. On average, hundreds of weapons were lost every day. It was not unusual to pick them up while walking on the road.
Naturally, in most cases, the weapons that can be picked up in this way are not good things. If they are really good, they will be taken back by the winner as trophies early on. However, there were several Warring States Periods in history, when
The forces from all sides fought fiercely, strong men emerged in large numbers, saint kings were as numerous as dogs, and emperors were everywhere. The loss of these people's weapons was nothing at the time, but when those lost weapons were unearthed in this era, it was nothing.
Go to Baobing!
Meng Yan left the bone whip behind and left. As soon as he left, Qian Jiansou came to the torture hall angrily and asked why he allowed the perpetrators to be allowed. Lan Jieying dismissed him easily with just one sentence.
"The murder? The other disciples present have all testified that they didn't like the little handyman and wanted to teach him a lesson. They ambush him there. Elder Qian thought that this matter should not be kept private. He wanted me to make a big show of it and summon all Qianxue.
Feng disciples, by the way, find a few famous people from other sects to be notaries, and have a public trial, so that the whole east of the country knows what they have done? At that time, everyone will say that our followers are incompetent, and the official disciples actually started fighting with the servants, and we still said
How dare you bully others, make a sneak attack in the middle of the night, and be killed by a handyman in the end? You can afford to humiliate this person, but I can't afford it!"
Although it was us who was talking about it, Qian Jiansou could certainly tell that what the other party meant was "you". After all, these male disciples were trained by him. If outsiders wanted to criticize "the disciples for being incompetent", the reputation would definitely fall.
on your own head.
"Regardless of who is right or wrong, don't you think there is something wrong with a little handyman actually having such abilities? What's your intention of turning a blind eye to a suspicious person?"
"If you can even ignore who is right and who is wrong, then what else do you need from the Punishment Hall? Elder Qian must have spoken to the wrong person. Besides, the Punishment Hall is not the Security Hall and is not responsible for investigating suspicious persons. As for suspicious...our sect
I can't help but lead Yi Toushi. People like this are like crucian carp crossing the river in the sect. If this is the case, it will be suspicious. Liu Lang, who is under your sect, was called out by the Ye family messenger two days ago. I think it seems suspicious. Do you want to investigate too?
The eighteenth generation of our ancestors?”
"This... you, Lan Jieying, are trying to frustrate me with red tape?"
"Elder Qian can say whatever he wants. The result of my investigation is that everything seems to be caused by the weapon being out of control and causing trouble. Tang Dynasty was also seriously injured by the weapon, and it has nothing to do with the person holding the weapon."
"Humph, these are all excuses. Do you believe this? Unless he is willing to hand over the weapon for us to inspect, otherwise there is nothing he can say..."
"He handed it over. I hope we can investigate clearly and clear his name."
As Lan Jieying spoke, he took out the bone whip and put it on the table. This surprised Qian Jiansou. He had seen Tang Chao's injuries and could be sure that no matter what Meng Yan's cultivation level was or what kind of skills he was practicing.
, that injuring weapon is definitely not a mortal thing, at least it is a soldier of the Holy King, and it may even be a higher level. This kind of precious weapon is usually regarded as life by warriors, even if it is forced in the name of the sect, it may not be possible.
If you are willing to hand it over, that kid actually takes the initiative to hand over the bone whip to clear himself?
Looking at the bone whip on the table, it was as warm and jade-like in color as it was absolutely extraordinary. Even Qian Swordsman, who was not the wielder of the whip, felt his heart beat faster and wanted to reach out for it. Lan Jieying saw it in his eyes and said calmly.
: "The origin of this object is unknown, and it needs expert identification. If Elder Qian is willing to do it for you, please take this evil object away and help with the identification and analysis."
"really?"
Qian Jiansou was overjoyed and stretched out his hand to take it, only to hear Lan Jieying say coldly, "But during the period of time when we are responsible for keeping it, Elder Qian must be careful. We, Qian Xuefeng, will not seize the family heirlooms of our disciples. Now we are confiscating them."
It’s just for investigation, if there is any damage or loss during the storage period, and the matter spreads, and people think that we deliberately swallowed up the disciples’ weapons, it will not sound good.”
"snort!"
Struggling with Lan Jieying's words, Qian Jiansou walked away in anger, leaving only the elder of the execution hall sitting alone, looking at the crystal-clear jade-like honest bone whip, and said to himself: "I haven't been like this for a long time.
You are a young man who is really good at causing trouble. If he continues to make trouble like this, I won’t be able to sit in this position for a few days..."
Meng Yan didn't know about the troubles faced by the elders at all, and even if he knew, he didn't care. After temporarily handing the bone whip to Lan Jieying, he rushed back to his residence, closed the door and thought deeply, and started discussing it with Wu Chou as soon as he entered.
'Dancing Chou, I have decided that one of the two skills I have replaced is Xingbingshenjin. Since I have come to Qianxue Peak, I can't go in vain.'
'Eh? Is this good? According to records, the ice-shaped energy is due to innate punishment. Only women who practice pure yin can reach the highest level and cultivate ice flames. Men are interfered by yang energy.
, you can't practice ice flames no matter what, and at most, you can only practice it to the point of cleansing the marrow. There is no hope for the Holy King. Why are you practicing this kind of martial arts?'
'Let me be clear. I only said to equip it, not to practice it. Let me ask you first. The King of Heaven can be forcibly upgraded to the strongest state. Are there any restrictions on this forced improvement?'
'No, as long as your body can bear it, you can do anything, regardless of restrictions, and there are no rules.'
'Then I will bet my hope on the Heavenly King's fighting ability, and I don't have to worry about uninstalling it and affecting my normal practice. Anyway, I can't learn this kind of kung fu that is limited to women. If my bet succeeds, it will be great. I
He will become the first man in the history of Qianxue Peak who can use ice flames. Don't you think this is very tempting?'
'It makes sense. If you choose this way, it will be very helpful to the development of your martial arts and weapon-making skills, but there is still a technical problem to be solved.'
'I know, there's not enough data! I only saw Tang Chao's boy use it once yesterday, and there aren't many relevant records in the library. If I ask you to deduce it directly, I guess it's very confusing, but it's not impossible. I'll look for it.
If someone comes to help, they should be able to make up for the missing part." Meng Yan thought to himself: "Huang Lily may be able to help, otherwise, my cheap master should be able to do it too."
