different paths

"It's worthy of being the head of Chai. Even now, he can still be so calm and composed. I admire Wujue." Jia Wujue clasped his fist slightly, but his words were not without sarcasm.

Chai Lingqing's face was calm, without panic or annoyance: "Not all things in this world are like this. Those who should come will not go, and those who should go will not stay. The manpower is weak, and it is nothing but to do everything according to the fate of the gods. What's the use if you don't let nature take its course."

Jia Wujue chuckled lightly: "Master Chai trusts the will of heaven so much. Have you ever heard the saying that the reincarnation of the law of heaven is not good for retribution? Those who have their lives strangled for no reason follow what kind of will of heaven, and what kind of destiny do they conform to?" ?” There was a big smile on his face, full of sarcasm, “If Sect Master Chai wants to talk about God’s will, then it can only be said that it is God’s will that Sect Master Chai has come to this point.”

Chai Lingqing's expression changed suddenly, his gaze was like a falcon, staring at him without blinking, just like staring at prey.

"Ye Zanghua once said that he alone was responsible for the death of the four masters. But he forgot a very important thing. The four major sword sects of Lingnan, Tianzhu, Cuihua, and Yuquan have been hidden for a long time. They are far apart, and it will take at least two days to get there quickly. I have examined the bodies of the four. Originally, they were disguised as Fang Pojia and others, and the people from the Zhenyuan Escort died overnight. In the meantime, the time of death is naturally not a problem. But when their true colors are discovered by us, the time of death will become a big problem. How did Ye Zanghua kill these four phases in the same day? What about the far master? Besides, the kung fu of these four masters is not weak. They can take the opponent's life in just a few moves, and the murderer's kung fu is at least not weaker than Ye Zanghua. How about looking at the entire Taichong Sword Pai, Jian Zong and Qi Zong together, how many people like this can there be?" Jia Wujue glanced at Chai Lingqing meaningfully, and continued, "Zhu Jiehui was drawn by the Fuye Panhua Sword The killing, Ye Zanghua admitted that it was her own doing, there is no problem with that, but Master Taiyin was also killed by Fuye Panhua Sword one after another, this is the biggest problem."

Jia Wuchao paused, and continued: "Although the two wounds on the Fuye Panhua Sword look the same on the outside, the traces left in the body are different. Both are one inch long and half an inch wide. However, the sword wound on Zhu Jiehui's chest was about two inches deep, but Daoist Taiyin's chest was completely pierced through. This shows that although the murderers who killed the two men used the same sword moves, their internal strength was very different. The inner strength of the person is naturally much thicker and more abundant."

Speaking of this, his posture changed, and he asked Chai Lingqing respectfully: "Master Chai, is there anything else that needs to be added?"

Chai Lingqing's hands behind his back had returned to his body, and he stood with his arms folded, with a trace of imperceptible hostility on his originally amiable face: "There is one thing Jia Xiaoyou forgot to say, and that is—motivation."

"Motivation—" Jia Wujue patted his head suddenly, "Master Chai thought carefully, and I couldn't figure it out. After racking my brains, I finally came up with some unbelievable reasons." He said "unbelievable" "The four words were bitten hard, and he intentionally emphasized, "Ye Zanghua wanted to kill those five people for revenge, and the head of Chai is probably not interested in Zhu Jiehui, but the other four are really interested. Cheats. Killing Zhang Dahu and others is because their identities are known, so they must be silenced."

"Although you claim to be 'a first-rate chess player, a second-rate drinker, and a third-rate swordsmanship', I am afraid that in your heart you are very unwilling to be inferior to Mei Dulin. Taking this opportunity, you can bring disaster to the east, and it would be great if you can pull the other party off the horse." As for the cause of Taiyin's death, I guess you forced him to reveal the secret hidden in Taichong's thirteen moves. Of course he didn't know, but you don't believe it. If there is no secret, then how did Mei Dulin realize the world from it? The number one swordsmanship. You have always wanted to get the secret out of Taiyin Zhenzhen's mouth, but he has been refusing to tell it, so you killed him in a fit of anger, and then conveniently blamed Taichong Jianzong. If you succeed in setting the blame, you will have the secret books of the four major sword sects by your side. In the future, Taichong Sword Sect’s reputation will decline, and your Qi Sect will grow stronger, and you may be able to annex it. The two sects will be merged into one. The door is naturally the biggest winner."

After finishing speaking, Jia Wuhuang said to Chai Chengqing: "Master Chai thinks, how well do I understand this motive?"

"You guessed well." Chai Lingqing looked at him and said with some regret, "It's a pity, if you and I didn't have different positions, we would definitely be best friends."

"I don't dare." Jia Wujue said with a half-smile, "It would be fatal to meet the head of Chai."

Chai Lingqing glanced at him: "You really are eloquent."

"Actually, I still have a question. Please ask Master Chai to clarify."

"But it doesn't matter."

Jia Wujue's eyes were black and shiny, he looked at Chai Lingqing: "Is the real Taiyin your adoptive father? Why do you want to..."

He was interrupted by Chai Lingqing before he finished speaking: "You know this, it seems that I really underestimated you."

"It's not that you underestimated me, it's that you underestimated yourself." Jia Wukai said in a deep voice, "The stone slab under the real Taiyin's body is pressing the things he has collected for many years. Among them is a birthday message with two people engraved on it." seal."

Chai Lingqing was startled when he heard the words, and he blinked away those calmly, and said with a pale face, "That thing...does he still have it?"

Jia Wuchai nodded, and said again: "There is also Ye Zanghua. From the beginning to the end, he has been covering you, implying that he is the murderer. The wine in the lobby was not accidentally drunk, but he drank it on his own initiative."

"Hahaha——" Chai Lingqing laughed wildly suddenly, his calm and gentle face was cracked, leaving only an arrogant and decisive face, "I, Chai Lingqing, have no parents, no friends, no friends, and I don't believe in ghosts and gods." , more disrespectful to heaven and earth. There are only three things I love in my life, one is power, the other is profit, and the third is fame. It is a pity that the heavens betrayed me. I have no hegemony that can overwhelm the country, two have inexhaustible money, and three have world-famous fame. This field, time and destiny!"

After speaking, he turned around and jumped, flew over the eaves and walls, and fled out of the city.Jia Wujue and Yue Chentan followed closely behind him, chasing all the way to the foot of the suburban mountain.

"Don't try to escape." Jia Wujue shouted loudly, and rushed towards Chai Lingqing.

"It's up to you?" Chai Lingqing smiled disdainfully, and with a wave of his sleeve, Jia Wujue jumped out.

He only felt the wind whistling in his ears, and he closed his eyes, just waiting to meet the severe pain of landing, but unexpectedly crashed into an embrace that was hard but much more comfortable than the ground covered with rocks.

"Be careful." Yue Chentan whispered in his ear.

He blushed, and immediately jumped out of Yue Chentan's arms.

Yue Chentan turned the wheelchair and drove towards Chai Lingqing: "The last time I played against Your Excellency, I didn't enjoy it to the fullest. Today is a rare opportunity. Please enlighten me."

Chai Lingqing sneered, not talking nonsense, he raised his sword and stabbed at Yue Chentan.Different from the fight between the two on the roof that time, Chai Lingqing no longer deliberately concealed his moves, and gradually showed the true colors of his swordsmanship with stabs and picks.The way of swordsmanship is humanity, and the quality of swordsmanship is character. From a person's swordsmanship, not only can one see the level of his cultivation, but also his temperament and character.Although Chai Lingqing practiced Qizong's method, every move, but with the danger and strangeness of Jianzong.Without the openness and closure of the air sect, he is mellow and understanding, but on the contrary, he is tricky, vicious and aggressive.

He used pure iron to deal with Yue Chentan's flesh and blood, but he did not leave any room for it. His sword and sword ultimate move was fatal.Although Yue Chentan didn't have a weapon, his eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind were all in the fight, the six were integrated into one body, much more flexible and swift than Fan Tie.Chai Lingqing's attack, just like last time, was all aimed at his lower body, trying to defeat his weak point in one fell swoop.One hit failed, another hit, and after three or four failed attempts, he changed his strategy.

With a flash of the sword's edge, it swung straight towards the wheelchair.Shoot people first and shoot horses. Without a wheelchair, you can do nothing to me.

He who has always claimed to be exhaustive, but at this moment he has forgotten that he is fighting two people, not just one person.Jia Wujue is not good at sparring with others, but his lightness kung fu is very good. In addition, he is agile and dexterous, and he is very good at such small tricks as picking things out of the bag and hurting people in the air.

As soon as Chai Lingqing turned his sword, he guessed what the opponent wanted to do.Using local materials, he grabbed a few stones and unceremoniously bounced them towards the opponent's front door, elbows, waist, and knees.He himself was not idle, he strode forward and circled around Chai Lingqing.

He called this set of footwork the Mizong Step, which evolved from the popular Mizong Quan in Qingzhou.Mizongquan focuses on the boxing method, the upper three ways account for seven points, and the lower three ways account for three points.This lost step is just the opposite, legwork is the most important thing, and the upper three lanes only account for one point.The reason why the word "mistracking" is chosen is because the person who makes the footwork is erratic, using many phantoms to confuse the opponent, making the opponent feel like being in a maze, unable to find his real body.At critical moments, it can be used not only for the golden cicada to escape its shell, but also as a cover-up for a fatal blow.

Chai Lingqing had never experienced such lightness kung fu, and being surrounded by Jia Wujue like a fly, it kept buzzing around his ears, trying to slap it with his hands but it was nowhere to be seen.At the same time, he also had to guard against stones flying from all directions, big or small, round or pointed.Just to intercept these "hidden weapons", he was a little overwhelmed.

The stone collided with the hard sword, making a "bang bang bang" sound. Chai Lingqing blocked and retreated all the way, and was finally forced to the edge of the cliff.

He was about to burst into tears, and let out a low growl, like an angry beast, his eyes seemed to want to tear apart the opponent's skin and bones, and swallowed him into his stomach.In his rage, he no longer cared about those flying stones, but slashed at Yue Chentan with his sword.Without hooks, hooks, points, or picks, he just stabbed, slashed, and chopped at Yue Chentan vigorously, but the more aggressive his swordsmanship was, the slower, softer and more steady Yue Chentan's fists were, the two of them fought within ten minutes. For the rest of the round, there was only a "bang bang" and the sound of the dragon's chant stopped. The sword in Chai Lingqing's hand broke in two and fell to the ground.

Chai Lingqing stared at the broken sword, stunned for a moment, then began to laugh wildly: "Time is also fate!" His hair was like a fly, fluttering in the wind, no longer the calm posture of the past.In the madness, he stepped on the ground, leaned over, and fell to the cliff on his back.The incident happened suddenly, Jia Wujue reached out and only wiped the corner of his clothes, and Chai Lingqing's figure was already swallowed up in the deep darkness.

Jia Wukai stood in front of the cliff in a daze. He seemed to have seen a seal fall out of Chai Lingqing's arms just now. He wondered if it was an illusion.He had many questions he hadn't had time to ask, but the opportunity was lost forever.

He looked at the bottomless cliff, a little helpless, but also a little relieved, only a little doubt left, lingering in his heart, difficult to unravel.

He wants to ask Chai Lingqing, have you ever loved him?

He wanted to ask Chai Lingqing, do you still hate him?

Jia Wujue turned his head to look at Yue Chentan, he was sitting quietly in the wheelchair, his eyes were calm, the mountain wind made his clothes rattle, his sleeves were fluttering, like an exiled immortal.Seeing his eyes wandering, Yue Chentan slightly parted his thin lips, with a firm tone: "You still have doubts."

"You said that since Chai Lingqing wanted Ye Zanghua to be the scapegoat, why did he bother to come to us when he was in Lifeng Villa? If I didn't know his motive, I would have thought he was dressed in black." People are trying to confuse the public, making us think that it was the man in black who killed Zhu Jiehui instead of Ye Zanghua."

"One thought is three thousand." Yue Chentan said lightly, "Three thousand dharmas are available at the same time. Among the three thousand, there are hells, evil spirits, animals, asuras, and there are also humans, gods, bodhisattvas, Buddha, good and evil intermingle, how to distinguish clearly."

Jia Wuchai tilted his head and thought for a while: "...you are right when you say that. I have another question that I don't want to understand. Although Ye Zanghua and Chai Lingqing confessed to the crime, the original case was not clear. It has not been resolved. Who killed the hundreds of people in the Zhenyuan Escort, and why? The four Fang Pojia who disappeared out of thin air, and the mutton fat jade bottle mentioned in the Xingxing Note, and Where did you go?"

Yue Chentan looked at his expression of serious thinking, and there was a trace of joking on the corner of his mouth: "Could it not be the work of the star picker?"

"Of course not." Jia Wujue immediately denied, as if realizing that his tone was too strong, he explained awkwardly, "I heard that the star pickers only steal things and never kill people. And pick Xingke only steals top-notch items, and the mutton fat jade bottle is really nothing."

"That's it." Yue Chentan nodded quite convinced.

Jia Wuzhen squinted at him, why did he still feel like he was being exposed?He scratched his head: "Let's go back to the city and report to the command, and we'll talk about the rest at another day."

Before the two of them came to Yecheng, they had already notified Gongmen and other factions involved in this matter, presumably people from all walks of life had already gathered in the city, waiting for their answers.

Dozens of days later, the case of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau was solved, and the two masterminds were already dead, so no further investigation was carried out.According to the official document, many people were involved in this case, thanks to the great help of Shaolin master Yue Shentan, the case was solved within a short period of time.For a time, Yue Chentan's fame rose, and everyone in the Jianghu temple was widely praised.However, Jia Wujue, who had been with him, was not mentioned in the official documents, and soon there was no trace of this person in the world, as if he had never appeared before.
