Xiao Jianzhi looked calm and said with a smile: "It seems that he is indeed an extraordinary master. Mr. Qin's internal strength is not low. The method of breathing and breathing taught by the old gentleman seems to be a very advanced internal skill."
Got the idea."
"At first, I just felt that I felt comfortable after practicing." Qin Xiao said without changing his expression, without losing his respect: "Later, after practicing for a long time, I felt full of energy. Afterwards, I realized that I must have met a kind-hearted Gao.
people."
Xiao Jianzhi nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Master Qin's internal strength comes from an expert, who did you learn your moves from? That old gentleman only taught you the breathing method, not the martial arts moves. I heard Master Qin's
His sword skills are not weak, and his moves are also very subtle...!"
"Sir, if I tell you, I'm afraid you won't believe me." Qin Xiao sighed and said, "In fact, even now, sometimes I don't believe it myself."
"Oh?" Xiao Jianzhi was very interested: "I would like to hear the details."
Qin Xiao knew very well that Xiao Jianzhi was clearly testing him. Xiao Jianzhi definitely didn't believe a word of what he said before. Although he made up stories to deal with it, he was not afraid that he would actually go find someone who didn't exist.
He is an old man, but he also knows that if Ziyi Supervisor really wants to investigate him and does not find out something, it will definitely be endless.
To prevent the other party from being completely suspicious, when you speak, you must speak three-quarter truth and seven-cent falsehood.
"Giant Ape!" Qin Xiao thought for a moment and finally said: "Xiaguan's moves were all taught by the giant ape."
Xiao Jianzhi obviously didn't understand, and asked curiously: "What circle?"
"Ape." Qin Xiao opened his hand and gestured: "A very, very big ape, a giant ape."
Xiao Jianzhi was stunned for a moment, obviously feeling incredible, and said suspiciously: "Master Qin, are you saying that your martial arts was taught by a giant ape?"
"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "To be honest, Xianguan offended the Zhenhou Mansion in Guicheng and was hunted by the Zhen family. He had no choice but to run away. At that time, he walked west along the foot of the Changling Mountains. Later,
I met a group of hunters. They claimed to be attacked by mandrills and fled down the mountain in a hurry. In the panic, someone was left in the mountain. Later they wanted to go back to the mountain to search. The official was also impulsive at the time and wanted to help them, so he followed them.
He went up the mountain. After getting separated from them on the mountain, he was captured by a giant ape and was forced to lock him in a cave for several months."
Xiao Jianzhi opened his eyes wide and was even more surprised.
When Qin Xiao just mentioned the nameless old man, Xiao Jianzhi really didn't believe even a word of it, but what Qin Xiao said now was even more bizarre. Compared with the old man who made up the story before, this theory of the giant ape is more like
It was a lie, but Xiao Jianzhi felt that it was not impossible.
"Xiaoguan was worried that he would be trapped in the mountains forever if he continued like this, so he often looked for opportunities to escape." Qin Xiao naturally looked sincere when talking about what he had really experienced: "The giant ape was very spiritual, and he was blocked every time, and
He forced the subordinate to attack it. In order to protect himself, the subordinate tried his best to resist, and he became familiar with these moves in a daze."
Xiao Jianzhi opened his eyes wide.
He has seen many strange things in his life, but he has never seen such incredible things as a giant ape teaching skills.
"Is it in the Changling Mountains?" Xiao Jianzhi asked.
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Exactly. It's just that now that Xiling is in the hands of the rebels, I can't go into the mountain to find it. If Xiling is recovered one day, sir, if you are willing, we can go see it together."
"It seems that Mr. Qin is really blessed." Xiao Jianzhi sighed: "If I have the chance, I really want to see it."
Qin Xiao thought about the giant ape living alone in the mountains. He didn't know what the current situation was. With his current cultivation level, he should be able to deal with the giant ape. If there is a chance in the future, he would really like to meet the old ape.
Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps, Qin Xiao turned his head and looked over. He saw Princess Sheyue in a palace dress coming in from the door. Her expression was indifferent, neither happy nor worried. It was impossible to tell what her mood was. After entering, she did not look at Qin Xiao.
Xiao Xiao, Qin Xiao and Xiao Jianzhi had already stood up and saluted.
"Qin Xiao, this is Governor Xiao from the Purple Clothes Prison. You should already know him." After She Yue sat down, she glanced at Qin Xiao and said calmly: "Master Xiao has brought the saint's decree. You can accept it."
good."
Qin Xiao's expression calmed down and he knelt on the ground. Xiao Jianzhi had already said loudly: "The emperor has spoken: Qin Xiao, the young minister of Dali Temple, should return to Beijing as soon as possible to report on his duties. I appreciate this!" After Qin Xiao thanked him, Xiao Jianzhi said with a smile.
: "Master Qin, you can get up now. The sage asked you to return to the capital to report on your work, so naturally you will be rewarded in person."
Qin Xiao stood up and asked, "Can the saint tell you when he will return to the capital?"
"The saint wants you to lead a team of people to escort the princess back to the capital." Xiao Jianzhi said: "The princess was frightened in Jiangnan, and the saint was worried day and night. He just wanted to see the princess as soon as possible, so the sooner he returned to the capital, the better.
." After a pause, he turned to She Yue and said, "But the princess has to decide the itinerary."
The princess shook her head and said: "Qin Xiao's affairs in Hangzhou have not been settled properly, and he cannot leave immediately in the past few days. I have already thought about letting the eldest grandson Yuanxin lead a team of people to escort him. The saint misses me, and I
I also miss the saint and hope to leave as soon as possible. Mr. Xiao, I have packed up here and can set off tomorrow."
Qin Xiao was startled, thinking that the saint had ordered him to escort the princess, but the princess refused directly. It seemed that she really did not want to have anything to do with him.
He knew in his heart that this was She Yue's intention. Only by keeping a distance between the two of them would the saint be at ease.
He felt sad in his heart, but his face remained calm and he said respectfully: "I will obey the princess's orders in everything."
"Master Xiao, has the murderer of An Xinghou been identified?" She Yue looked at Xiao Jianzhi and asked.
Xiao Jianzhi cupped his hands and said: "Reporting to the princess, on the way to Hangzhou, the old slave had already inspected the body of An Xinghou, and a sharp weapon penetrated the skull. Such internal strength is really amazing."
"Chopsticks." Qin Xiao said immediately: "The assassin used chopsticks to commit the murder."
Xiao Jianzhi nodded slightly: "The chopsticks are driven by internal force, turning the chopsticks into sharp swords. In fact, at first glance, this seems to be a hidden weapon skill. There are many masters in the world who can do this, but the two are actually very different.
It's different." Seeing She Yue looking at herself, she explained in detail: "If you are shooting a hidden weapon, the front end of the hidden weapon will be extremely sharp and powerful. After it is immersed in the body, it will immediately be rubbed by the skin and flesh, and the back force will be reduced.
If it is weak and the force at the front and back is uneven, the wound left behind will be very rough, and it is easy to see that it was caused by a hidden weapon."
"How about An Xinghou's wound?" She Yue asked.
"It is extremely smooth from beginning to end." Xiao Jianzhi said solemnly: "In other words, when the chopstick penetrated the skull, the force from front to back was even, and it was not a hidden weapon technique at all."
Qin Xiao thought to himself that Ziyi Jian was indeed a Ziyi Jian. He would never know this difference.
"The assassin used chopsticks as a cover to make people think he was killing with a hidden weapon, but in fact it was the technique of the inner sword." Xiao Jianzhi said sternly: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether the chopsticks exist or not, even if there are no chopsticks
, the assassin can also kill An Xinghou on the spot. The sword energy of the inner sword is transformed into the chopsticks, and because it is an inner sword, there is no uneven strength at all."
She Yue's beautiful face was stern and she said calmly: "So, what Chen Xi said is not wrong. The assassin is from Sword Valley?"
"The old slave just sent someone to take Chen Xi to Changmingyuan. He inquired about it carefully and also checked Chen Xi's injuries." Xiao Jianzhi said slowly: "Chen Xi's injuries seemed to have been hit by a heavy palm.
The attack injured his internal organs, but Chen Xi personally proved that the palm prints left by the assassin were also a cover-up, and before he made a move, he had actually injured Chen Xi with his inner sword."
Qin Xiao frowned, thinking that after Chen Xi was taken out of the Taoist temple, he had been settled in the governor's mansion to recuperate. Today, he was on business in the warehouse. After being summoned by the princess, he came directly to Changming Garden, but he didn't expect that Xiao Jianzhi had already left the governor's mansion.
Chen Xi picked it up.
However, Chen Xi was from the Ziyi Prison, so it was natural for him to be picked up by Xiao Jianzhi.
Xiao Jianzhi pondered for a moment, his expression became solemn, and he said: "The old slave is now 90% sure that the assassin is indeed from Sword Valley. Among the six skills of Sword Valley, there are three people who practice the inner sword, and the first disciple of Sword Valley is
, the third disciple of Sword Valley and the youngest sixth disciple. However, the three disciples of Sword Valley died many years ago, so there are only two people left in Sword Valley to practice the inner sword. If nothing else, the assassin must be one of these two people.
."
Qin Xiao felt awe-struck, thinking to himself that the Ziyi Prisoner really had great powers and knew the situation in Sword Valley very well.
"However, Chen Xi insists that the assassin is a man, and Mu Yeji, the sixth disciple of Sword Valley, is a female, so Shen Wuchou, the first disciple of Sword Valley, is the most suspicious."
"Shen Wuchou?" She Yue raised her eyes.
Qin Xiao was a little stunned, thinking that the cheap master was not called Shen Yaoshi. How did he become Shen Wuchou?
But then I thought about it. When Pharmacist Shen was imprisoned, he was registered in the register. The name and surname of Pharmacist Shen were written on the register. Now it seems that the old guy has concealed his real name. It is natural to think about it. People in Sword Valley have always
When pursuing Pharmacist Shen, if he shows his true name everywhere, his whereabouts will be easily discovered.
It turns out that the old guy’s real name is Shen Wuchou.
Although the name is worry-free, the old guy seems to have a lot of troubles.
"Shen Wuchou is the first disciple of Sword Valley. This person is extremely talented, but has a lazy temperament and a very good drinker. It can be said that he cannot be happy without drinking." Xiao Jianzhi said: "Among the disciples of Sword Valley, only the second disciple Cui Jingjia After breaking into the Great Heaven Realm many years ago, several others seem to have stayed in the Zhongtian Realm. However, these disciples are all extremely talented people. Anyone has the strength to break through and enter the Great Heaven Realm. Now it seems that Sword Valley has another There is one more Great Heaven Realm."
"Is it possible that he was dressed in disguise?" She Yue asked: "Is it possible that Mu Yeji dressed up as a man and committed the murder?"
Xiao Jianzhi said: "If you enter the Great Heaven Realm, you can retract your clavicle and change some of your appearance, but you can't really completely become another person." After a pause, he said: "It is said that Mu Yeji has a voluptuous figure and is a female. The characteristics are extremely obvious. Even if she really breaks through to the Great Heaven Realm and can retract her clavicle skin, she still cannot transform into a man. Based on Chen Xi's experience, if the assassin is a woman in disguise, he will be able to recognize it immediately, so the assassin is Mu. The possibility of Ye Ji is extremely slim."
Qin Xiao felt funny in his heart, thinking to himself that Xiao Jianzhi said that the little sister's aunt's female characteristics were very obvious, which was nothing more than big breasts and plump buttocks. With such a figure, it is really difficult to pretend to be a man, and everyone can see it.
