Gu Xingyou looked at his closed disciple with a cold face, as if he was overlooking an evil ghost.

Master totally hated him!

Xie Rujian was aware of this fact, but he didn't know what mistake he had made.The bag of grains in his hand really looked like salt grains, yes, those colored ones... Xie Rujian suddenly thought of something, picked up a few dark red grains of salt, looked at them, and took a sniff .Soon, a thin, weak smell of blood penetrated Xie Rujian's nose.

Blood... This is salt stained red with blood!

"Human, human blood?" Xie Rujian suddenly realized something.

"Hmph." Gu Xingyou sneered, "Why, don't you remember all the good things you have done?" Seeing Xie Rujian looking at him with a ignorant expression, Gu Xingyou's face became even more ugly.He clenched his fist, and the torment of the law prison came to Xie Rujian like a mountain and a sea. Even though he had been in the law prison for three days, Xie Rujian had never tried such a terrible torture!

At the same time, several kinds of torments attacked him, he felt something moving in his head, he felt his neck twisting, he felt that the left half of his body was immersed in ice slag, while the right half of his body seemed to be in flames Roasting, feeling that one of his legs was broken, while the other leg was infinitely stretched, feeling that a needle was stabbing his eyeball, and a knife was cutting flesh in his stomach... Xie Rujian groaned in pain Before he could shout out in time, his eyes went dark and he was about to pass out.

However, in the next moment, all the torture disappeared.The phantom pain continued for a while, Xie Rujian was covered in cold sweat, panting and rolled to the ground, he finally recovered from the pain, said with bitten bloody lips: "Master, I really don't ...Ah!" The more intense pain came over like mountains and seas, and Xie Rujian's eyes were full of gold stars, and even his teeth were crushed.

"It's not that easy to want to die!" An invisible force supported Xie Rujian's mouth, making him stay on an embarrassing expression.Saliva flowed from his closed mouth and wet Xie Rujian's neckline.His body was already covered with sticky sweat, layers of cold sweat and hot sweat, and his whole body was tortured out of shape.

Again, the pain stopped, just when he was about to collapse, just barely.

Xie Rujian finally understood that if he kept denying this, Gu Xingyou would continue to torture him.

Gu Xingyou is a very powerful cultivator. He has a compassionate heart for human beings and has helped many people. But on the other hand, he is also a very cruel scavenger. Here, if you confess your sin obediently, you may still die happily, otherwise, you will suffer terrible torture, and you will be wiped out in despair.

Xie Rujian had never experienced this side of Gu Xingyou in the past, and always felt that this kind of statement was a bit exaggerated. It was not until this moment that he experienced it himself and saw the way Gu Xingyou looked at him, that he realized that everything was true. , and perhaps beautified a bit!

When you are not human, you are not human.This is Gu Xingyou's principle!

Xie Rujian's face was covered with tears. For the first time, he discovered that the eyes of Guanxuan could not always see through the faces of others, just like he never knew that his respected and loved master could turn into a hellhole. The most ferocious ghost!

"Aren't you going to tell me?"

"I didn't...Master, please believe me!" Xie Rujian pleaded bitterly. He thought that he would be tortured again, but who would have thought that Gu Xingyou would change his temper this time and not start the procedure.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to defend yourself. Tell me what happened on the seventh night of July."

I don't know why Gu Xingyou suddenly changed his temper, Xie Rujian knew that he didn't have many opportunities, so he hurriedly said everything he could think of in detail.When he said that he came back with the food and other things bought for the festival in the small town, and saw a pile of dead bodies at the entrance of the treasure hall, he saw Gu Xingyou's brows furrowed deeply.

"When I saw them, they were all...dead..." Xie Rujian said cautiously, not knowing which word he would annoy Gu Xingyou, and what followed would be another torture that would make life worse than death.

Xie Rujian seized the time not only to defend himself, but also to accumulate some strength for himself so that he could cope with Gu Xingyou's next torture—Xie Rujian didn't realize it at that time, but he had already felt it subconsciously. No matter what he said, Gu Xingyou would never trust him again.

"They were all killed by one blow, defenseless, weapons unsheathed, I guess they were killed by an extremely powerful opponent. Their necks were broken, mortal wounds, their bodies were cold, It should have been frozen by frost spells, I think the mirror thief used frost spells to control their actions, so that they didn't have a chance to make a move, and then killed them one by one."

Gu Xingyou sighed softly, his eyes and brows were full of tiredness.

"Guanxuan, I'll give you a chance to explain, but are you actually going to say this?"

"I..." Xie Rujian wanted to say, I don't know what else to say, because this is what I have personally experienced!But he knew that the answer Gu Xingyou wanted was not this.

Xie Ru gradually became silent, and he finally realized clearly that the truth he said was sophistry in Gu Xingyou's eyes.His master seems to have determined that he is the real culprit who killed his fellow disciples and stole the Universe Mirror of Absolute Beginning!

"Do you know what you are holding in your hand?" Without waiting for Xie Rujian to answer, Gu Xingyou continued, "It's sea salt, yes, but I found it from Xinbai's clothes. but grains of salt stained red with his blood."

Xie Rujian looked at the crystal particles in his hand, and suddenly felt that the small paper bag in his hand was very, very heavy.

"There are no grains of salt in the Treasure Hall, and even the cooks in Xianshiju don't have this type of salt. This is sea salt."

Haiyan... Xie Rujian was thinking in a daze, what does this mean? Could it be that Jiang Xinbai and the others have been to the seaside?Yes, if you walk west for a few days and nights outside Beishan, you can indeed see the sea.There are fishmongers' warehouses and salt fields beside the sea, where many salt farmers dry their salt.

Jiang Xinbai went to the beach?when?

Gu Xingyou seemed to think that Xie Rujian was going to play tricks to the end, so he continued coldly: "Xinbai went back to his hometown to visit relatives, and he set off for Guanxuan Palace ten days ago. According to his itinerary, it will only take three to five days at most But he disappeared halfway, until three nights ago, he suddenly appeared in the form of a corpse in the Baohe River in the central courtyard of the Treasure Hall."

Xie Rujian raised his head, his face was full of doubts, senior brother, he clearly returned to Guanxuan Palace three afternoons ago, and they had talked, senior brother advised him to go down the mountain to play at night, saying that he would be on duty for him, they He obviously spoke! ! !However, after thinking about it calmly, Xie Rujian suddenly realized that he had no witnesses!

Jiang Xinbai suddenly appeared when he was practicing sword alone in the Frost Bamboo Forest. He smiled and reached out from behind Xie Rujian to cover his eyes, asking him to guess who he was. At that time, they were the only ones in the Frost Bamboo Forest two people.Afterwards, after they finished talking, Jiang Xinbai said that he would go back to his room to put things away, pack up his things, and go on patrol at night.Later, Xie Rujian met Jiang Xinbai during dinner, and the other party came to his room and told him not to worry, just have fun, and said that he had already greeted the brothers who were patrolling tonight Let Xie Rujian rest assured that there were only the two of them in the room at that time.In the end, Xie Rujian went down the mountain alone, bought something, returned to the mountain, and saw those miserable scenes.

Gu Xingyou said: "Judging from the corpses of Zixu, Zizhan, Zimei, and Ziyu outside the treasure hall, the enemy's strength is obviously far superior to them, so they died before they even had time to resist. .Their necks were broken one by one. It is strange that their bodies were frozen. There is an extremely obvious contradiction here. If the murderer has enough ability to freeze twelve of them at the same time, he There is no need to break their heads, they will die too; of course, it cannot be ruled out that the murderer is extremely cruel by nature, and he just likes to freeze people to death and let them experience the coming of death without being able to resist, then when these people die The head and neck should be frozen."

Xie Ru gradually recalled the appearance of the dead brothers, and finally understood what Gu Xingyou wanted to say.All the corpses show the appearance of a person curled up for warmth under freezing conditions. At this time, the head of the person cannot be raised high, and it must be in a knee-hugging posture. At this time, I want to break the person's head. will become very difficult.It's like breaking open a frozen shrimp. One is that it will be more difficult to break, and the other is that it is very likely to break directly.However, although the necks of all the dead Guanxuan Palace disciples were broken inside, they were intact on the outside, and thus formed a posture that was still connected to the curled up body at a weird angle.This shows one thing...

"They were artificially put into frozen postures after being killed by breaking their heads," Xie Rujian blurted out, "But why..."

Gu Xingyou glanced at him: "In order to hide the leaves in the forest, and hide the water droplets in the sea."

Jiang Xinbai?

Xie Rujian suddenly understood something, and his face turned pale: "You mean, brother, brother, he has already..."

"He's already dead."

Jiang Xinbai is not missing, but has already been killed. After being killed, his body was brought back to Changle by the murderer. In order to prevent the body from decomposing, he secretly hid him in the fish catch warehouse on the coast .There is an ice cellar there, which can keep the corpse from decomposing in summer, but the disadvantage is that the corpse will be contaminated with the smell of seafood, and the clothes of the corpse will be accidentally contaminated with... sea salt.

That's why Gu Xingyou suspected him. His master thought that he had set up a trick after killing his senior brother, so as to separate the relationship.

Indeed, the whole bureau is very delicate.First kill Jiang Xinbai and hide his body in the fishmonger's warehouse near Guanxuan Palace, then on the night of Qixi Festival, he lied that Jiang Xinbai was going to be on duty on his behalf, deliberately went down the mountain to wander around the town, and specially gave it to other people See, so that you can make an alibi, and then rush back to Guanxuan Palace ahead of time, kill the disciples on duty tonight, and disguise them as if they were deprived of their mobility with frost spells, and then broke their necks one by one. It seems that there are a lot of redundant movements, but it is just to make Jiang Xinbai's body that has been frozen and thawed in the ice cellar not look awkward.

It was also because Jiang Xinbai's body was being frozen and thawed, and there would definitely be melted water stains on his body. In order to avoid being seen through, his body was thrown into the Bao River.

"You deliberately pretended to be Xinbai drawing your sword when we entered the door. At first glance, it seems easy to be misunderstood, but you know that as long as we do a little research, we will find that you were indeed at the foot of the mountain that night. There are many witnesses, There is no time to kill Xinbai and others, firstly; secondly, your status as the successor of Guanxuan Palace allows you to legally obtain the right to be in charge of the Primordial Universe Mirror, and you are also motivated to get involved with this matter. Separate them. If it wasn’t for Zhang Xiaoshan, the handyman who was lucky enough not to be discovered by you, and if Xinbai hadn’t secretly written me a letter, I’m afraid even I would have been tricked by you. You are really scheming! "

At the end of Gu Xingyou's speech, his voice was extremely painful. Obviously, in his heart, Xie Rujian's "degeneration" has already been confirmed and hated!

"Zhang Xiaoshan said that you pretended to share the special products you bought at the foot of the mountain with your brothers and killed everyone when they were not prepared. Then you put the corpses in a curled up position and cast frost on them. The appearance of killing, then entered the treasure house of heaven, earth and man, opened the door of each treasure house and poured blood on the corridor, in order to make people mistakenly think that the thief didn't know where the mirror of heaven and earth was in the beginning, and was looking for each treasure house Yes, there was also a fight with Xinbai during the period."

"Master, I..."

"After the three treasure houses have been disguised, you calculate that the time is almost up, and then you run to the water pavilion in the atrium, take out the mirror of the universe in the beginning, try to hide it, throw Xinbai's body into the lake, and use his own sword stabbed him with a sword, this is to cover up the wound your sword left when you killed him. And after all this, you only need to wait for the moment when we come, pretend to draw your sword, and then put Xinbai, which you have already made up, was on patrol instead of you, and was killed by a mysterious enemy who intended to steal the mirror of the universe in the beginning, and the story that you came one step too late and failed to catch up will be able to achieve your goal perfectly. From now on In the end, the Universe Mirror of Absolute Beginning is yours, and the Guanxuan Palace is also yours, Xinbai and other disciples lost their lives in vain, and maybe they will never be able to find out the truth in their entire life, it is really a blessing to the heavens, your plan did not succeed!"

"Master, no, that's not the case!" Xie Rujian said anxiously.

"Oh? Isn't it like this?" After Gu Xingyou said all this, the expression on his face had returned to indifference again, "Zhang Xiaoshan saw the scene of your murder, and the sea salt on Jiang Xinbai's body proved that he was already dead. Frozen in the ice cellar, only you and I know how to get the universe mirror in the early days, do you want to say that you are guarding and stealing for my teacher?!"

"I, I didn't mean that..." Xie Rujian murmured, he was about to give up, after all, what his master said was so logical that even he, the client, almost believed it, let alone other people.To solve the case, it is important to have all the witnesses and evidences. At this time, Zhang Xiaoshan is the witnesses, and the corpses of Haiyan and Jiang Xinbai are the physical evidences. On the other hand, he himself has almost nothing except the conversation between "Jiang Xinbai" and him that no one knows...

"Move, motive!" Xie Rujian said suddenly, "I don't have the motive to kill Brother Jiang! Master, you believe me, no matter what the evidence is, I don't have the motive to kill him!"

"You have." Gu Xingyou sighed softly, "Do you know why your senior brother hastily put down all the affairs in hand this time, and left the palace gate to return to his hometown?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

"Because he wants to prove something," Gu Xingyou said, "Your senior brother suddenly saw a disaster in his hometown not long ago, so he was disturbed, so he hurried back to help. The disaster was indeed what he saw. The time and place happened, but because he stopped it in time, there were no casualties."

Xie Rujian was stunned, he knew what this meant.

Gu Xingyou looked at Xie Rujian: "Although this kind of thing is very rare, you should also understand that it means that you love him, and maybe you also have the eye to see the mystery!"
