Worst demon cult leader ever
Chapter 29
Jin Lin'er felt that Zhu Huan's body was getting colder and colder, and his heart sank into the ice cave.He frantically ran back to Cumulus Mansion, smashed open the gate, fell to the ground and gasped violently.
Sun Qingfeng saw that Jin Lin'er's Taoist robe was covered with blood, and the pottery bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered. He hurried forward, picked up Jin Lin'er and put him on the bed, asking, "Are you injured?"
Sun Qingfeng was extremely angry, his eyes were bloodshot and red, like a fierce beast.
Jin Lin'er was trembling all over, and shook her head in a daze.
Sun Qingfeng carefully checked Jin Lin'er's body, and found that he was not injured, but was greatly frightened, so he put his hands on his shoulders, helped him stop trembling, calmed him down, and asked: "What happened? Tell big brother, I'm here for everything."
Feeling Sun Qingfeng's gaze, Jin Liner finally came to his senses: "Zhu Huan is dead."
Sun Qingfeng was rarely patient: "Speak slowly."
Jin Lin'er: "You made eight bamboo arrows. I took three with me when I was chasing the hare. I shot two on the way. When the hare stopped between the rocks, I shot another one. I missed the hare, and the three arrows were already gone." Exhausted, but Zhu Huan's heart is pierced by my arrow."
Sun Qingfeng: "Someone deliberately harms you."
Jin Lin'er: "Hit me?"
Sun Qingfeng: "I shouldn't have let you act alone. Someone must have followed you when we parted, picking up your arrows on the road."
Jin Lin'er: "He wants to kill me and force me to hand over the golden seal?"
Sun Qingfeng: "I don't think so. If this person really wants to kill you, hurting Zhu Huan will cause extra problems. Everything he does has a purpose. I think it's probably because he knows that Zhu Huan is incompatible with you." , set up a bureau in advance, lure people to the mountain to kill, and then blame you."
Jin Lin'er: "It doesn't make sense. Brother, this person may be lurking around us and knows that you made bamboo arrows, but how does he know that I will go hunting alone?"
Sun Qingfeng pondered deeply, and said: "Even if he didn't use the arrow, he would definitely kill Zhu Huan, and then try to lead you to Zhu Huan. Perhaps, he picked up the bamboo arrow you shot on the road and changed his plan temporarily. .”
Jin Lin'er: "Zhu Huan said he dreamed of me."
Sun Qingfeng: "What do you mean?"
Jin Lin'er: "He couldn't speak clearly at that time, he just held his breath and wanted to know if I was a monster. I told him my real identity, and he told me that he didn't really want to bully me, but He once dreamed of me, and even saw my face, I did something very bad in his dream, disturbing his Dao heart."
Sun Qingfeng: "He was controlled by magic."
Jin Lin'er: "Zhu Huan was troubled by these dreams, so he believed that I was a monster and felt that I was bewitching him, so he hated me. But this, this is too bizarre."
Sun Qingfeng felt that there was a lot to be said here, but the situation was urgent and he was not allowed to think too much, so he quickly brought the magic talisman and put it on Jin Lin'er and himself.
The two of them had just changed their disguises when they heard an iron bell in the distance explode.
Sun Qingfeng opened the door, and saw several elders of the Huashan School leading dozens of disciples, walking towards the Cumulus Mansion.
He lifted the long sword, drew it half out of its sheath, walked back to Jin Lin'er, squatted in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, you will be fine."
Jin Lin'er grabbed Sun Qingfeng and said, "Brother, don't kill anyone."
Sun Qingfeng struggled, and after a while, he pushed back the unsheathed sword, and said with a smile: "Running around is not the way. If you make it clear, it's naturally good. If you can't make it clear, then it's up to you Lead the snake out of the hole and pull out the villain hiding in the dark. Don't be afraid if you have a big brother."
The three elders led more than a dozen law enforcement disciples, and Zhou Xingyun led a few head disciples. They all held torches and weapons, and stood at the gate of the Cumulus Mansion as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Jin Lin'er led Sun Qingfeng out of the Cumulus Mansion, bowed to everyone, and asked them why they came.
It turned out that Zhu Huan had a friend from the same village, surnamed Song and named Zhanming, who made an appointment with him to practice swords today, but no one came at night. Knowing that he went to Jiyun Mansion to ask Xue Nianlang to "ask a question", he was worried about his safety and wrote a lot. Gu Zi sneaked into the mountain and found Zhu Huan's body halfway.
Fearing that Zhou Xingyun would favor Jin Lin'er, Song Zhanming went directly to the law enforcement elders and led them up the mountain.
At this time, he saw Jin Lin'er's robe was stained with blood by the light of the fire, and said in a deep voice, "Xue Nianlang, you really killed Junior Brother Zhu."
Law enforcement elder Zhang Qingxuan stopped this person and said: "The truth is unknown, so don't speculate." He then asked him, "Zhu Huan is missing. You were the first to find out. How do you identify Xue Nianlang as the murderer?"
Song Zhanming: "I have always been friends with Junior Brother Zhu. I know that he noticed that Xue Nianlang and his elder brother behaved differently. He suspected that they were monsters but not human beings. He once fought Xue Nianlang in Wendao Pavilion. Senior Brother Zhou clearly understood the cause and effect of this matter. But we have no hard evidence."
Zhang Qingxuan: "Xingyun, is there really such a thing?"
Zhou Xingyun nodded hesitantly: "It is true."
Zhang Qingxuan: "Why do you hesitate?"
Zhou Xingyun: "Junior brother Zhu Huan's words are groundless, and I dare not take them seriously. First, junior brother Zhu Huan came from a famous family with outstanding talents. He entered Huashan at the same time as Xue Nianlang, but he was not accepted as a direct disciple by the head of the sect, so he felt unwilling. .Secondly, the brothers of the Xue family were born in poverty, and their habits are different from those of officials and officials. It is not uncommon for Zhu Huan to dislike them. Thirdly, there are few evil spirits in the south of Baihai. I have repeatedly enlightened Zhu Huan, but he has some Stubborn."
Song Zhanming: "Brother Zhou is partial to Xue Nianlang! He must have used some sorcery to confuse your mind. Zhu Huan told me that since he beat Xue Nianlang, he often dreamed of him at night, seeing him killing people, drinking blood, and practicing evil skills. I also saw him tearing off the painted skin, revealing his true face, and even committing adultery, disturbing the Dao heart of the younger brother."
Sun Qingfeng didn't pay attention to the people of Huashan faction, kept his hands on his chest, stood with his sword in his arms, until he heard the word "obscenity", he suddenly felt that Jin Lin'er had been taken advantage of, and immediately looked unhappy , asked: "These words you said can only show that Zhu Huan's heart is not right, what does it have to do with his brother?"
Song Zhanming couldn't answer, and said angrily: "There is a plague on the mountain, and you can't find the blood of poultry and livestock, so you can only drink human blood. Hmph, Junior Brother Zhu is worried about this, and has already sent a letter to the Kunlun Anti-Monster Division to arrest It will arrive soon. Perhaps you have received the wind and want to take revenge on him."
Jin Lin'er was not afraid of arresting the demon at all, and said calmly, "Senior Brother Song, you know that Zhu Huan went up the mountain to look for me, why did you come here?"
Song Zhanming: "I don't know, he just said he wanted to 'ask one thing' from you. But if you really have magic skills, it is not difficult to confuse his mind, lure him up the mountain, and then kill him."
Jin Lin'er: "Since I am determined to kill him, why did I lead him to the Cumulus Mansion instead of your cave mansion? It is better to blame you than to be suspected by others."
Zhu Huan died unexpectedly, and Jin Lin'er was terrified because he had compassion in his heart, which didn't mean he was a cowardly person.On the contrary, he has experienced more accidents and traveled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood than most ordinary people.
Sun Qingfeng put one hand on Jin Lin'er's shoulder, gave him a look of approval, and signaled him not to panic.
Song Zhanming didn't know how to answer, so he said, "How do I know what you think? Maybe he angered you, so you must drink his blood. In order to avoid being discovered, you took the risk of leading him up the mountain to do things conveniently, but you didn't expect that That's how I found out."
Jin Lin'er: "Senior Brother Song, don't be joking. If I really wanted to drink the blood of Senior Brother Zhu, why would I ignore it? I found Zhu Huan's body by accident, and was frightened, so I ran back to the Cumulus Mansion. Everyone inspect Senior Brother Zhu. body, so long as I'm not lying."
After listening to Jin Lin'er's words, Song Zhanming felt quite reasonable.However, he was the one who discovered Zhu Huan's disappearance tonight and invited all the elders and brothers over here. If he admits that he was wrong at this time, what will the people who were called here for no reason think?What would Jin Lin'er and his vicious-looking elder brother think?He was already on the verge of riding a tiger, so he had no choice but to hold on to the end.
A disciple came to spread the word that Zhu Huan's body had been transferred to the Law Enforcement Hall, and the road from where he was killed to Cumulus Mansion had also been inspected.
Zhang Qingxuan shouted to stop the two of them, and took them down the mountain.
At three o'clock in Haishi, the Law Enforcement Hall was brightly lit.
Zhu Huan's body was carried down the mountain on a wooden plank by the disciples and placed in the center of the hall.
Zhu Huanshang was the first disciple of Huashan to be killed in the sect, so he had to deal with it carefully.Xue Zhengyang is retreating, the other six elders, except for two who are retreating, all of them are sitting in the hall.
Jin Lin'er and Sun Qingfeng stood at the bottom of the hall, in front of them were two suspicious items that the disciples had found from the mountain, namely: a bamboo arrow cut by Sun Qingfeng himself, and a pottery bowl.
Zhang Qingxuan had heard the conversation between Jin Lin'er and Song Zhanming, and felt that there were many doubts about the matter, so he asked him to explain what happened first.
Jin Lin'er was open-minded and told the truth.
Zhang Qingxuan: "Let's talk about the arrows first. Xue Nianlang, you said you took three arrows out to hunt, where did you shoot them?"
Jin Lin'er: "Brother and I separated by the stream, ran about thirty steps, shot an arrow to the right, and stuck it on the tree trunk; ran ten steps further, shot another arrow, and hit a piece of wood half a person's height. The stone was bounced off and fell into the grass; the last arrow missed and hit the ground."
It was Chu Ruoyi, Zhang Qingxuan's eldest disciple, who was in charge of leading the law enforcement disciples to carry out the investigation.He stepped out of the line and replied: "Master, we did pull out two arrows from the ground and the tree trunk, but we didn't find any arrows in the grass."
Zhang Qingxuan nodded: "Xue Feng, where are your arrows used?"
Sun Qingfeng said casually: "It's just an arrow to hunt a pheasant."
Chu Ruoyi nodded and said: "There are four arrows in the quiver, only one arrow tip is slightly wet, with blood stains that haven't been wiped off, it smells like chicken blood."
Zhang Qingxuan: "The problem is still with that arrow. Zhan Ming, you send a few law enforcement disciples to guard it, and check it carefully at dawn tomorrow to see if any arrows have been shot at the half-person-high stone that Xue Nianlang said Mark of."
Chu Ruoyi took the order and quickly gave orders.
He picked up the second suspicious object and said: "Master, this pottery bowl was found by disciples from the Cumulus Mansion."
Zhang Qingxuan: "An ordinary pottery bowl, what's so unusual?"
Chu Ruoyi: "The food in the mountains is light, and the curved plate is easy to clean, but this pottery bowl was originally light brown, but now its inner wall has turned dark brown, and it smells like blood. My disciples speculate that this bowl is often used to hold poultry. The blood of the animal was used, so it left a mark, and people soaked it in a mixture of vinegar and wine, and indeed there was blood leaking from the wall of the bowl."
Sun Qingfeng laughed: "Killing chickens to bleed, there is no reason not to keep the blood to eat together. My brother is weak, and the priests don't eat filth. I keep some chicken and duck blood or offal for him to eat when I go back. I was seen by Zhu Huan. He doesn't understand how pampered and pampered he is, so he despises me and my brother."
Jin Lin'er hurriedly said: "Brother cares about me. Seeing that it was a pity to discard those things, he kept them privately and took them home for me to eat. I know this is wrong, and I will never do it again in the future. Please don't punish him, elder."
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Song Zhanming didn't care about etiquette, so he stood up and accused Jin Lin'er: "Xue Nianlang, you used black magic to confuse the elders during the entrance trial, otherwise, with your aptitude, let alone becoming the master's direct disciple, you just do it." None of the inner disciples are qualified. Junior Brother Zhu died outside your Jiyun Mansion, you can't tell the difference!"
Jin Lin'er was helpless, and said, "Why is Senior Brother Song so sure? Do you know why I have to kill Senior Brother Zhu?"
Song Zhanming: "Brother Zhu made trouble for you in Wendao Pavilion, you hold a grudge."
Jin Lin'er: "Senior brother Zhu pushed me into the dry well, almost killing me. But I know that I am not talented, and I can become the master's direct disciple because of luck. I never dare to blame him. The dead are gone, I don't want to say It's his fault, but if you really want to say it, he was the one who wanted to kill me first, but I backed down three times and four times, all the brothers and sisters can see it."
Song Zhanming: "You are used to smooth talk, please ask the elders to make a decision."
Sun Qingfeng laughed and said: "Who killed the person, it is natural to use the witnesses and evidence as the basis for the conclusion. If the elder said that you killed it, would it be possible for you to admit it?"
Jin Lin'er lightly pressed Sun Qingfeng's hand, asking him to be patient for a while and not to cause trouble, and then said to Song Zhanming: "It was a bamboo arrow that killed senior brother Zhu, and that arrow was indeed belonged to by my eldest brother." But with just one arrow, it is impossible to deduce the person who shot the arrow. Brother Song found the body of Brother Zhu alone, how can you prove that the person who picked up the bamboo arrow and shot Brother Zhu was not you?"
Song Zhanming jumped anxiously: "Don't spit blood on people!"
Jin Lin'er took a step forward and said to the elders present: "Masters and uncles, everything I said is true. In order to get rid of the crime, I can say that Senior Brother Zhu died after Senior Brother Song came, but I don't I would like to be framed and deceived. Brother Zhu did indeed die in front of me, but there are two big rocks between me and him, so I couldn’t see him, let alone the person who shot the arrow. Please be enlightened.”
Zhang Qingxuan: "Did Zhu Huan say anything before he died?"
Jin Lin'er thought for a while, Zhu Huan first concluded that he was a demon, and was shocked when he learned the truth, and then became unconscious because of difficulty breathing, and closed his eyes after calling out twice.
He shook his head and said, "Senior brother Zhu was stabbed in the heart by an arrow and almost died on the spot. He said a few words intermittently, it has nothing to do with it."
The four elders deliberated and felt that there was no evidence to strongly point to the murderer, so they decided to report to the head of the sect, and at the same time the law enforcement elder Zhang Qingxuan presided over the investigation.
Before the truth is revealed, Jin Lin'er and Sun Qingfeng are the most suspected and must stay in the side hall of the Law Enforcement Hall to be guarded.
Chu Ruoyi walked up to Sun Qingfeng and asked him to take off his sword.
Sun Qingfeng didn't have to look at him at all. He folded his hands over his chest and held the sword in his arms. He didn't move for a long time: "Not everyone can hold my sword."
Zhou Xingyun hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Brother Xue, don't get angry. I trust you, and please trust the Law Enforcement Hall. As long as you examine the stone with the imprint on it, Nian Lang's suspicion will be alleviated. I will go ask for it tomorrow morning. Master will go out and uphold justice."
Jin Lin'er stretched out his hand to Sun Qingfeng: "Brother, we agreed."
Sun Qingfeng remembered what he had discussed with Jin Lin'er before, and felt that the two being imprisoned was an opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole, so he snorted coldly, untied the long sword, and handed it to Jin Lin'er.
The night was calm, and soon it was noon the next day.
Jin and Sun were brought into the Law Enforcement Hall again.
The people in the hall are no different from last night.
Xue Zhengyang did not come, and there were still four elders sitting in the hall, and among them, Zhang Qingxuan looked particularly ugly.
The spring is radiant outside, and the hall is chilled and silent.
Sun Qingfeng was impatient, and said first: "Is the matter clear?"
Chu Ruoyi got Zhang Qingxuan's instruction, and said to everyone: "The Law Enforcement Hall investigated overnight and found out two things. First, what Xue Nianlang said is true. There is indeed a block of people's height on the road from the Jiyun Mansion to Zhu Huan's murder. stones, scratched by arrows."
Sun Qingfeng: "That's fine, let's go."
Chu Ruoyi: "Wait a minute!"
Sun Qingfeng shot at Chu Ruoyi like an arrow: "What else?"
Chu Ruoyi: "It wasn't the arrow in his heart that killed Zhu Huan. Zhu Huan's seven orifices were bleeding, and there was black blood stasis in his heart, which indicated that he had been poisoned before the arrow. We found a smear on him. Poisonous substance."
"Brother Zhu died of poisoning. What was that object?" Jin Lin'er realized that Zhu Huan's horrific death was not caused by being hit by an arrow. The arrow just added to his suspicion.
The arrow stuck in Zhu Huan's heart was aimed at Jin Lin'er.
Chu Ruoyi: "Time is running out. I waited up all night and only found out these two things."
Zhang Qingxuan: "You guys did a good job."
Chu Ruoyi: "Thank you, Master. There are two more things to be verified here. First, we found footprints that did not belong to Xue Nianlang on the soft mud around the stone that was shot by the arrow. The footprints were very It's big, it looks like Xue Feng's, and I want to compare it again to confirm."
He said, and someone brought a wooden board covered with ooze.
Sun Qingfeng always felt that something was wrong, as if he had a pair of eyes watching him in the dark, waiting for him to fall into a trap.
But since Zhu Huan was poisoned to death, the arrow that pierced his heart was irrelevant.
What's more, Sun Qingfeng didn't do anything, and the footprints on the ground could never be his.So, he frankly left footprints on the soft mud.
Chu Ruoyi asked people to take the board aside, and carefully compared it with the footprints taken from the mud beside the stone.
Chu Ruoyi went on to say: "Secondly, the poison that killed Zhu Huan was smeared on the jade buckle of the Tai Chi scarf that he wore on his forehead. According to Song Zhanming, Zhu Huan once lost this thing, and later lost it. I found it in the Wendao Pavilion. I think, since it was found in the Wendao Pavilion, someone might have seen it."
Jin Lin'er exchanged glances with Sun Qingfeng: It turned out to be a long-established game!If Zhu Huan's Tai Chi scarf is really poisonous, why are Sun Qingfeng and Jin Lin'er all right?Obviously, the poison was applied later.
Zhang Qingxuan's gaze was like a torch, and seeing Zhou Xingyun's expression changed, he asked, "Xingyun, do you know something?"
Zhou Xingyun looked at Jin Lin'er, with a struggling look in his eyes.
When Jin Lin'er saw this situation, she instantly understood that Zhou Xingyun must have seen him quietly put the Tai Chi scarf under the futon where Zhu Huan was sitting.
Even though Jin Lin'er never poisoned Zhu Huan, if Zhou Xingyun concealed the matter, his suspicion would be reduced a lot, and there would be no need for extra details to add doubt to the unsolved case.However, if he told the truth, with his kind nature, he would definitely feel ashamed of Jin Lin'er.
Jin Lin'er has always regarded "Only sincerity in the world can fulfill one's nature; if one can fulfill one's nature, one can fulfill one's nature." As a creed, she feels that honesty and openness are the most basic conduct of a gentleman.
He knew that Zhou Xingyun was a gentleman, if he really lied to help him get rid of the suspicion, the pain and torment in his heart would definitely not be less than the pain of being wronged and wronged.
Zhou Xingyun thought for a moment, sighed, and said: "I have always been in and out with my juniors, and there are many people in Wendao Pavilion, although I did visit..."
"Return to Master Uncle's words!" Jin Lin'er took the first step to save Zhou Xingyun from making a difficult decision, "I picked up Brother Zhu's Tai Chi scarf outside the Cumulus Mansion. He was still angry with me at that time. I was afraid of offending him, so I put the things under his futon and returned them to him when no one was around."
What Jin Lin'er said was very unfounded.
He knew that it was extremely unwise for him to do so, but he couldn't go against his own heart. After struggling, he still felt that the truth would always come to light. It will be haunted for the rest of his life.
It's not that Jin Lin'er doesn't care about his own innocence or other people's opinions, but he thinks that what Xue Zhengyang said is right. 50 years in the world are nothing compared to the sky. The heart of the sky is full and the moon is full, seeing that I have an open mind all the way.
He sneaked a glance at Sun Qingfeng, wanting to see if the other person's face was livid from his anger again, but unexpectedly, Sun Qingfeng was looking at him.
Looking at each other, Jin Lin'er only saw praise and appreciation in Sun Qingfeng's eyes.
Sun Qingfeng shook his head with a chuckle, and mouthed "Master" to Jin Lin'er.
Jin Lin'er knew that he was mocking himself, so he couldn't help but laugh, but soon, his smile froze on his face - the comparison of the footprints made by the law enforcement disciples had the result: "These two footprints are indeed The same person belongs to Xue Feng."
Jin Lin'er turned pale with shock: "What did you say?"
Song Zhanming rushed out, and in front of Jin Lin'er, he pointed at his nose and cursed: "What else do you have to say? Xue Nianlang poisoned Junior Brother Zhu, and Xue Feng shot him another arrow! You two brothers, even if you are not Monsters are more vicious than monsters, what did Junior Brother Zhu do wrong to attract you to attack him so cruelly?"
Sun Qingfeng was furious in an instant, overflowing with evil spirit: "That's not mine!"
Sun Qingfeng has experienced many battles, and his coercion is different from ordinary people.As soon as he got angry, everyone felt murderous aura overflowing.His martial arts are so strong that all the people present are no match for him. Those who practice martial arts have keen senses and can smell danger from him.
The disciples of the law enforcement hall drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Jin Lin'er clenched Sun Qingfeng's hand, shook his head at him, and said in a low voice: "Brother, no matter what, I believe you. Don't say that you can't do anything to Zhu Huan. There must be enough to convince me. Don't be angry."
Sun Qingfeng blinked, the evil spirit on his body gradually subsided, and said casually: "Whether you believe it or not, I will only say once, that footprint is not mine." After he finished speaking, he patted Jin Lin'er on the head, "Where is it? So angry?"
However, perhaps because Song Zhanming was standing too close to Jin and Sun, he was overwhelmed by Sun Qingfeng's evil aura, so nervous, he shouted "The monster will show its original shape soon", and stabbed Sun Qingfeng with a knife.
Seeing that the bright sword was about to stab Sun Qingfeng, Jin Lin'er was in a hurry and raised his hand to try to block Song Zhanming's sword.
However, he couldn't control his strength for a while, and instantly used the "Snow Crane Pailing Clouds" move in "Golden Shadow Palm". The finger broke the opponent's fine steel sword.
Everyone present was in an uproar.
Song Zhanming got up from the ground and laughed angrily: "You really are a demon."
The author has something to say: Happy Valentine's Day, today is five o'clock~
Sun Qingfeng saw that Jin Lin'er's Taoist robe was covered with blood, and the pottery bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered. He hurried forward, picked up Jin Lin'er and put him on the bed, asking, "Are you injured?"
Sun Qingfeng was extremely angry, his eyes were bloodshot and red, like a fierce beast.
Jin Lin'er was trembling all over, and shook her head in a daze.
Sun Qingfeng carefully checked Jin Lin'er's body, and found that he was not injured, but was greatly frightened, so he put his hands on his shoulders, helped him stop trembling, calmed him down, and asked: "What happened? Tell big brother, I'm here for everything."
Feeling Sun Qingfeng's gaze, Jin Liner finally came to his senses: "Zhu Huan is dead."
Sun Qingfeng was rarely patient: "Speak slowly."
Jin Lin'er: "You made eight bamboo arrows. I took three with me when I was chasing the hare. I shot two on the way. When the hare stopped between the rocks, I shot another one. I missed the hare, and the three arrows were already gone." Exhausted, but Zhu Huan's heart is pierced by my arrow."
Sun Qingfeng: "Someone deliberately harms you."
Jin Lin'er: "Hit me?"
Sun Qingfeng: "I shouldn't have let you act alone. Someone must have followed you when we parted, picking up your arrows on the road."
Jin Lin'er: "He wants to kill me and force me to hand over the golden seal?"
Sun Qingfeng: "I don't think so. If this person really wants to kill you, hurting Zhu Huan will cause extra problems. Everything he does has a purpose. I think it's probably because he knows that Zhu Huan is incompatible with you." , set up a bureau in advance, lure people to the mountain to kill, and then blame you."
Jin Lin'er: "It doesn't make sense. Brother, this person may be lurking around us and knows that you made bamboo arrows, but how does he know that I will go hunting alone?"
Sun Qingfeng pondered deeply, and said: "Even if he didn't use the arrow, he would definitely kill Zhu Huan, and then try to lead you to Zhu Huan. Perhaps, he picked up the bamboo arrow you shot on the road and changed his plan temporarily. .”
Jin Lin'er: "Zhu Huan said he dreamed of me."
Sun Qingfeng: "What do you mean?"
Jin Lin'er: "He couldn't speak clearly at that time, he just held his breath and wanted to know if I was a monster. I told him my real identity, and he told me that he didn't really want to bully me, but He once dreamed of me, and even saw my face, I did something very bad in his dream, disturbing his Dao heart."
Sun Qingfeng: "He was controlled by magic."
Jin Lin'er: "Zhu Huan was troubled by these dreams, so he believed that I was a monster and felt that I was bewitching him, so he hated me. But this, this is too bizarre."
Sun Qingfeng felt that there was a lot to be said here, but the situation was urgent and he was not allowed to think too much, so he quickly brought the magic talisman and put it on Jin Lin'er and himself.
The two of them had just changed their disguises when they heard an iron bell in the distance explode.
Sun Qingfeng opened the door, and saw several elders of the Huashan School leading dozens of disciples, walking towards the Cumulus Mansion.
He lifted the long sword, drew it half out of its sheath, walked back to Jin Lin'er, squatted in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, you will be fine."
Jin Lin'er grabbed Sun Qingfeng and said, "Brother, don't kill anyone."
Sun Qingfeng struggled, and after a while, he pushed back the unsheathed sword, and said with a smile: "Running around is not the way. If you make it clear, it's naturally good. If you can't make it clear, then it's up to you Lead the snake out of the hole and pull out the villain hiding in the dark. Don't be afraid if you have a big brother."
The three elders led more than a dozen law enforcement disciples, and Zhou Xingyun led a few head disciples. They all held torches and weapons, and stood at the gate of the Cumulus Mansion as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Jin Lin'er led Sun Qingfeng out of the Cumulus Mansion, bowed to everyone, and asked them why they came.
It turned out that Zhu Huan had a friend from the same village, surnamed Song and named Zhanming, who made an appointment with him to practice swords today, but no one came at night.

Fearing that Zhou Xingyun would favor Jin Lin'er, Song Zhanming went directly to the law enforcement elders and led them up the mountain.

Sun Qingfeng didn't pay attention to the people of Huashan faction, kept his hands on his chest, stood with his sword in his arms, until he heard the word "obscenity", he suddenly felt that Jin Lin'er had been taken advantage of, and immediately looked unhappy , asked: "These words you said can only show that Zhu Huan's heart is not right, what does it have to do with his brother?"

Perhaps you have received the wind and want to take revenge on him."
Jin Lin'er was not afraid of arresting the demon at all, and said calmly, "Senior Brother Song, you know that Zhu Huan went up the mountain to look for me, why did you come here?"
Song Zhanming: "I don't know, he just said he wanted to 'ask one thing' from you. But if you really have magic skills, it is not difficult to confuse his mind, lure him up the mountain, and then kill him."
Jin Lin'er: "Since I am determined to kill him, why did I lead him to the Cumulus Mansion instead of your cave mansion? It is better to blame you than to be suspected by others."
Zhu Huan died unexpectedly, and Jin Lin'er was terrified because he had compassion in his heart, which didn't mean he was a cowardly person.On the contrary, he has experienced more accidents and traveled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood than most ordinary people.
Sun Qingfeng put one hand on Jin Lin'er's shoulder, gave him a look of approval, and signaled him not to panic.
Song Zhanming didn't know how to answer, so he said, "How do I know what you think? Maybe he angered you, so you must drink his blood. In order to avoid being discovered, you took the risk of leading him up the mountain to do things conveniently, but you didn't expect that That's how I found out."
Jin Lin'er: "Senior Brother Song, don't be joking. If I really wanted to drink the blood of Senior Brother Zhu, why would I ignore it? I found Zhu Huan's body by accident, and was frightened, so I ran back to the Cumulus Mansion. Everyone inspect Senior Brother Zhu. body, so long as I'm not lying."
After listening to Jin Lin'er's words, Song Zhanming felt quite reasonable.However, he was the one who discovered Zhu Huan's disappearance tonight and invited all the elders and brothers over here. If he admits that he was wrong at this time, what will the people who were called here for no reason think?What would Jin Lin'er and his vicious-looking elder brother think?He was already on the verge of riding a tiger, so he had no choice but to hold on to the end.
A disciple came to spread the word that Zhu Huan's body had been transferred to the Law Enforcement Hall, and the road from where he was killed to Cumulus Mansion had also been inspected.
Zhang Qingxuan shouted to stop the two of them, and took them down the mountain.
At three o'clock in Haishi, the Law Enforcement Hall was brightly lit.
Zhu Huan's body was carried down the mountain on a wooden plank by the disciples and placed in the center of the hall.
Zhu Huanshang was the first disciple of Huashan to be killed in the sect, so he had to deal with it carefully.Xue Zhengyang is retreating, the other six elders, except for two who are retreating, all of them are sitting in the hall.
Jin Lin'er and Sun Qingfeng stood at the bottom of the hall, in front of them were two suspicious items that the disciples had found from the mountain, namely: a bamboo arrow cut by Sun Qingfeng himself, and a pottery bowl.
Zhang Qingxuan had heard the conversation between Jin Lin'er and Song Zhanming, and felt that there were many doubts about the matter, so he asked him to explain what happened first.
Jin Lin'er was open-minded and told the truth.
Zhang Qingxuan: "Let's talk about the arrows first. Xue Nianlang, you said you took three arrows out to hunt, where did you shoot them?"
Jin Lin'er: "Brother and I separated by the stream, ran about thirty steps, shot an arrow to the right, and stuck it on the tree trunk; ran ten steps further, shot another arrow, and hit a piece of wood half a person's height. The stone was bounced off and fell into the grass; the last arrow missed and hit the ground."
It was Chu Ruoyi, Zhang Qingxuan's eldest disciple, who was in charge of leading the law enforcement disciples to carry out the investigation.He stepped out of the line and replied: "Master, we did pull out two arrows from the ground and the tree trunk, but we didn't find any arrows in the grass."
Zhang Qingxuan nodded: "Xue Feng, where are your arrows used?"
Sun Qingfeng said casually: "It's just an arrow to hunt a pheasant."
Chu Ruoyi nodded and said: "There are four arrows in the quiver, only one arrow tip is slightly wet, with blood stains that haven't been wiped off, it smells like chicken blood."
Zhang Qingxuan: "The problem is still with that arrow. Zhan Ming, you send a few law enforcement disciples to guard it, and check it carefully at dawn tomorrow to see if any arrows have been shot at the half-person-high stone that Xue Nianlang said Mark of."
Chu Ruoyi took the order and quickly gave orders.
He picked up the second suspicious object and said: "Master, this pottery bowl was found by disciples from the Cumulus Mansion."
Zhang Qingxuan: "An ordinary pottery bowl, what's so unusual?"
Chu Ruoyi: "The food in the mountains is light, and the curved plate is easy to clean, but this pottery bowl was originally light brown, but now its inner wall has turned dark brown, and it smells like blood. My disciples speculate that this bowl is often used to hold poultry. The blood of the animal was used, so it left a mark, and people soaked it in a mixture of vinegar and wine, and indeed there was blood leaking from the wall of the bowl."
Sun Qingfeng laughed: "Killing chickens to bleed, there is no reason not to keep the blood to eat together. My brother is weak, and the priests don't eat filth. I keep some chicken and duck blood or offal for him to eat when I go back. I was seen by Zhu Huan. He doesn't understand how pampered and pampered he is, so he despises me and my brother."
Jin Lin'er hurriedly said: "Brother cares about me. Seeing that it was a pity to discard those things, he kept them privately and took them home for me to eat. I know this is wrong, and I will never do it again in the future. Please don't punish him, elder."
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Song Zhanming didn't care about etiquette, so he stood up and accused Jin Lin'er: "Xue Nianlang, you used black magic to confuse the elders during the entrance trial, otherwise, with your aptitude, let alone becoming the master's direct disciple, you just do it." None of the inner disciples are qualified. Junior Brother Zhu died outside your Jiyun Mansion, you can't tell the difference!"
Jin Lin'er was helpless, and said, "Why is Senior Brother Song so sure? Do you know why I have to kill Senior Brother Zhu?"
Song Zhanming: "Brother Zhu made trouble for you in Wendao Pavilion, you hold a grudge."
Jin Lin'er: "Senior brother Zhu pushed me into the dry well, almost killing me. But I know that I am not talented, and I can become the master's direct disciple because of luck. I never dare to blame him. The dead are gone, I don't want to say It's his fault, but if you really want to say it, he was the one who wanted to kill me first, but I backed down three times and four times, all the brothers and sisters can see it."
Song Zhanming: "You are used to smooth talk, please ask the elders to make a decision."
Sun Qingfeng laughed and said: "Who killed the person, it is natural to use the witnesses and evidence as the basis for the conclusion. If the elder said that you killed it, would it be possible for you to admit it?"
Jin Lin'er lightly pressed Sun Qingfeng's hand, asking him to be patient for a while and not to cause trouble, and then said to Song Zhanming: "It was a bamboo arrow that killed senior brother Zhu, and that arrow was indeed belonged to by my eldest brother." But with just one arrow, it is impossible to deduce the person who shot the arrow. Brother Song found the body of Brother Zhu alone, how can you prove that the person who picked up the bamboo arrow and shot Brother Zhu was not you?"
Song Zhanming jumped anxiously: "Don't spit blood on people!"
Jin Lin'er took a step forward and said to the elders present: "Masters and uncles, everything I said is true. In order to get rid of the crime, I can say that Senior Brother Zhu died after Senior Brother Song came, but I don't I would like to be framed and deceived. Brother Zhu did indeed die in front of me, but there are two big rocks between me and him, so I couldn’t see him, let alone the person who shot the arrow. Please be enlightened.”
Zhang Qingxuan: "Did Zhu Huan say anything before he died?"
Jin Lin'er thought for a while, Zhu Huan first concluded that he was a demon, and was shocked when he learned the truth, and then became unconscious because of difficulty breathing, and closed his eyes after calling out twice.
He shook his head and said, "Senior brother Zhu was stabbed in the heart by an arrow and almost died on the spot. He said a few words intermittently, it has nothing to do with it."
The four elders deliberated and felt that there was no evidence to strongly point to the murderer, so they decided to report to the head of the sect, and at the same time the law enforcement elder Zhang Qingxuan presided over the investigation.
Before the truth is revealed, Jin Lin'er and Sun Qingfeng are the most suspected and must stay in the side hall of the Law Enforcement Hall to be guarded.
Chu Ruoyi walked up to Sun Qingfeng and asked him to take off his sword.
Sun Qingfeng didn't have to look at him at all. He folded his hands over his chest and held the sword in his arms. He didn't move for a long time: "Not everyone can hold my sword."
Zhou Xingyun hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Brother Xue, don't get angry. I trust you, and please trust the Law Enforcement Hall. As long as you examine the stone with the imprint on it, Nian Lang's suspicion will be alleviated. I will go ask for it tomorrow morning. Master will go out and uphold justice."
Jin Lin'er stretched out his hand to Sun Qingfeng: "Brother, we agreed."
Sun Qingfeng remembered what he had discussed with Jin Lin'er before, and felt that the two being imprisoned was an opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole, so he snorted coldly, untied the long sword, and handed it to Jin Lin'er.
The night was calm, and soon it was noon the next day.
Jin and Sun were brought into the Law Enforcement Hall again.
The people in the hall are no different from last night.
Xue Zhengyang did not come, and there were still four elders sitting in the hall, and among them, Zhang Qingxuan looked particularly ugly.
The spring is radiant outside, and the hall is chilled and silent.
Sun Qingfeng was impatient, and said first: "Is the matter clear?"
Chu Ruoyi got Zhang Qingxuan's instruction, and said to everyone: "The Law Enforcement Hall investigated overnight and found out two things. First, what Xue Nianlang said is true. There is indeed a block of people's height on the road from the Jiyun Mansion to Zhu Huan's murder. stones, scratched by arrows."
Sun Qingfeng: "That's fine, let's go."
Chu Ruoyi: "Wait a minute!"
Sun Qingfeng shot at Chu Ruoyi like an arrow: "What else?"
Chu Ruoyi: "It wasn't the arrow in his heart that killed Zhu Huan. Zhu Huan's seven orifices were bleeding, and there was black blood stasis in his heart, which indicated that he had been poisoned before the arrow. We found a smear on him. Poisonous substance."
"Brother Zhu died of poisoning. What was that object?" Jin Lin'er realized that Zhu Huan's horrific death was not caused by being hit by an arrow. The arrow just added to his suspicion.
The arrow stuck in Zhu Huan's heart was aimed at Jin Lin'er.
Chu Ruoyi: "Time is running out. I waited up all night and only found out these two things."
Zhang Qingxuan: "You guys did a good job."
Chu Ruoyi: "Thank you, Master. There are two more things to be verified here. First, we found footprints that did not belong to Xue Nianlang on the soft mud around the stone that was shot by the arrow. The footprints were very It's big, it looks like Xue Feng's, and I want to compare it again to confirm."
He said, and someone brought a wooden board covered with ooze.
Sun Qingfeng always felt that something was wrong, as if he had a pair of eyes watching him in the dark, waiting for him to fall into a trap.
But since Zhu Huan was poisoned to death, the arrow that pierced his heart was irrelevant.
What's more, Sun Qingfeng didn't do anything, and the footprints on the ground could never be his.So, he frankly left footprints on the soft mud.
Chu Ruoyi asked people to take the board aside, and carefully compared it with the footprints taken from the mud beside the stone.
Chu Ruoyi went on to say: "Secondly, the poison that killed Zhu Huan was smeared on the jade buckle of the Tai Chi scarf that he wore on his forehead. According to Song Zhanming, Zhu Huan once lost this thing, and later lost it. I found it in the Wendao Pavilion. I think, since it was found in the Wendao Pavilion, someone might have seen it."
Jin Lin'er exchanged glances with Sun Qingfeng: It turned out to be a long-established game!If Zhu Huan's Tai Chi scarf is really poisonous, why are Sun Qingfeng and Jin Lin'er all right?Obviously, the poison was applied later.
Zhang Qingxuan's gaze was like a torch, and seeing Zhou Xingyun's expression changed, he asked, "Xingyun, do you know something?"
Zhou Xingyun looked at Jin Lin'er, with a struggling look in his eyes.
When Jin Lin'er saw this situation, she instantly understood that Zhou Xingyun must have seen him quietly put the Tai Chi scarf under the futon where Zhu Huan was sitting.
Even though Jin Lin'er never poisoned Zhu Huan, if Zhou Xingyun concealed the matter, his suspicion would be reduced a lot, and there would be no need for extra details to add doubt to the unsolved case.However, if he told the truth, with his kind nature, he would definitely feel ashamed of Jin Lin'er.
Jin Lin'er has always regarded "Only sincerity in the world can fulfill one's nature; if one can fulfill one's nature, one can fulfill one's nature." As a creed, she feels that honesty and openness are the most basic conduct of a gentleman.
He knew that Zhou Xingyun was a gentleman, if he really lied to help him get rid of the suspicion, the pain and torment in his heart would definitely not be less than the pain of being wronged and wronged.
Zhou Xingyun thought for a moment, sighed, and said: "I have always been in and out with my juniors, and there are many people in Wendao Pavilion, although I did visit..."
"Return to Master Uncle's words!" Jin Lin'er took the first step to save Zhou Xingyun from making a difficult decision, "I picked up Brother Zhu's Tai Chi scarf outside the Cumulus Mansion. He was still angry with me at that time. I was afraid of offending him, so I put the things under his futon and returned them to him when no one was around."
What Jin Lin'er said was very unfounded.
He knew that it was extremely unwise for him to do so, but he couldn't go against his own heart. After struggling, he still felt that the truth would always come to light. It will be haunted for the rest of his life.
It's not that Jin Lin'er doesn't care about his own innocence or other people's opinions, but he thinks that what Xue Zhengyang said is right. 50 years in the world are nothing compared to the sky. The heart of the sky is full and the moon is full, seeing that I have an open mind all the way.
He sneaked a glance at Sun Qingfeng, wanting to see if the other person's face was livid from his anger again, but unexpectedly, Sun Qingfeng was looking at him.
Looking at each other, Jin Lin'er only saw praise and appreciation in Sun Qingfeng's eyes.
Sun Qingfeng shook his head with a chuckle, and mouthed "Master" to Jin Lin'er.
Jin Lin'er knew that he was mocking himself, so he couldn't help but laugh, but soon, his smile froze on his face - the comparison of the footprints made by the law enforcement disciples had the result: "These two footprints are indeed The same person belongs to Xue Feng."
Jin Lin'er turned pale with shock: "What did you say?"
Song Zhanming rushed out, and in front of Jin Lin'er, he pointed at his nose and cursed: "What else do you have to say? Xue Nianlang poisoned Junior Brother Zhu, and Xue Feng shot him another arrow! You two brothers, even if you are not Monsters are more vicious than monsters, what did Junior Brother Zhu do wrong to attract you to attack him so cruelly?"
Sun Qingfeng was furious in an instant, overflowing with evil spirit: "That's not mine!"
Sun Qingfeng has experienced many battles, and his coercion is different from ordinary people.As soon as he got angry, everyone felt murderous aura overflowing.His martial arts are so strong that all the people present are no match for him. Those who practice martial arts have keen senses and can smell danger from him.
The disciples of the law enforcement hall drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Jin Lin'er clenched Sun Qingfeng's hand, shook his head at him, and said in a low voice: "Brother, no matter what, I believe you. Don't say that you can't do anything to Zhu Huan. There must be enough to convince me. Don't be angry."
Sun Qingfeng blinked, the evil spirit on his body gradually subsided, and said casually: "Whether you believe it or not, I will only say once, that footprint is not mine." After he finished speaking, he patted Jin Lin'er on the head, "Where is it? So angry?"
However, perhaps because Song Zhanming was standing too close to Jin and Sun, he was overwhelmed by Sun Qingfeng's evil aura, so nervous, he shouted "The monster will show its original shape soon", and stabbed Sun Qingfeng with a knife.
Seeing that the bright sword was about to stab Sun Qingfeng, Jin Lin'er was in a hurry and raised his hand to try to block Song Zhanming's sword.
However, he couldn't control his strength for a while, and instantly used the "Snow Crane Pailing Clouds" move in "Golden Shadow Palm". The finger broke the opponent's fine steel sword.
Everyone present was in an uproar.
Song Zhanming got up from the ground and laughed angrily: "You really are a demon."
