Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

Mu Liuyun's voice immediately turned cold: "It's you? Why did you attack people from Shangqing Palace?"

"You Han people, if you don't have a good thing, you will die, so what can you do?"

As soon as Mu Liuyun's expression changed, he was about to step forward, but Zhang Chi held him back and said, "Be careful, he looks weird."

Mu Liuyun hesitated for a moment, Dazhao ignored them, and looked earnestly at Bai Ling who quietly came to the crowd of onlookers: "Bai Ling, all I did was for you."

Bai Ling shrank back: "What does it have to do with me?"

"I've pursued you for so many years, but you just ignore me." The Miao man's face darkened again, "It happened that there was a Han man who wanted to go to Miaojiang to buy poison and kill people, so I seized this opportunity , tell them to go to you to buy off the Soul Thistle."

Bai Ling opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and he paused for a while before saying, "...So, you told that Han man about the matter of Duan Hun Ji and the fact that I am from Wugu Village?"

"That's right, when I went out on the day of the Fire Refining Festival, I helped him poison a few Taoist priests in the Central Plains with thistle. I planned to make you an accomplice to threaten you and me. Who knew those stinky Taoist priests With such a big backstage, even the leaders are so frightened that they can only submit to them."

Dazhao stared at Adamu reproachfully, and Adamu turned his head away in embarrassment. Although he was cooperating with Zhang Chi in arresting the murderer who caused trouble for the village, in the end, this kind of behavior was helping outsiders deal with it. My own people, after all, feel a little wronged in front of the folks.

"You're talking nonsense." Zhang Chi said suddenly, "The one who did the murder that day was clearly an old woman. With your figure, even if you are good at disguise, it's impossible to pretend to be like that."

"You know the way the Miao people poison you." Dazhao said with a straight chest, "I do things by myself, so if you have any grudges, come to me to settle the score, but even if I Dazhao is going to die, I have to pull two backs .”

"It's up to you?" Mu Liuyun's tone was cold and arrogant, and the sword in his hand was unsheathed calmly.

Dazhao smiled strangely, his face turned dark again, and his body began to have some swollen visible to the naked eye. His whole body seemed to have gained a lot of weight. He finally looked at Bai Ling reluctantly: "You Remember, I Dazhao died here today because of you, if you still have a conscience, you can come to my grave every year and offer me a bowl of wine, and my love for you will not be in vain."

"Be careful! He swallowed the blood soul Gu!" Adamu finally recognized the reason behind the strange swelling, and shouted, "He will explode and die soon, as long as his blood touches it, he will be poisoned !"

When the onlookers heard the "Blood Soul Gu", they started screaming and running away in all directions. The trick that had been seen through had to be shot ahead of time. He bit the tip of his tongue and spurted out a mouthful of blood mist.

Zhang Chi had already been on guard in secret, but he didn't expect that the opponent would vomit blood as soon as he came up, and he vomited quite skillfully. The speed was so fast and the coverage was so wide that no one within five steps could dodge in time.

He also heard Adamu's words. At this time, he had no time to think too much, so he subconsciously took a step sideways and bumped his body into Mu Liuyun: "Little..."

Before he could finish saying "be careful", he was sent flying by Mu Liuyun's palm.

***

A firm but soft palm force sent Zhang Chi flying several feet away. When he landed, he rolled and stood up unharmed, looking at Mu Liuyun in surprise.

With the strength of this palm, Mu Liuyun flew to avoid the opposite direction.

Seeing that the two separated, Dazhao rushed towards Mu Liuyun without hesitation, wanting to fight with his life to kill this martial artist.

Mu Liuyun didn't know how powerful the poison was, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.Normally, with this level of skill, he would be able to slash under the sword without three moves, but the saying that he can't get blood makes him dare not let go. Mu Liuyun, who has little experience in fighting the enemy, For a while, he didn't know how to deal with this situation, so he retreated to avoid it, and at the same time, with luck on the sword, he slashed at Dazhao with a volley.

Senran's sword energy tore through Dazhao's clothes and flesh, leaving a laceration with deep visible bones. Dazhao seemed to feel no pain at all, and the speed of rushing towards Mu Liuyun did not slow down at all.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Liuyun slashed out with another palm, which also hit Dazhao's chest from the air. Dazhao's body was stopped by the powerful palm force, and a blood curtain suddenly spewed out from his red eyes. .

At this time, Mu Liuyun was inevitable.

Dazhao, who was familiar with the terrain, forced him to the edge of the cliff in the valley within a few steps, and after that, there was a mountain stream several tens of feet high. If he fell, no matter how good his martial arts were, he would inevitably end up dead or disabled.

Amidst the exclamation of everyone in Miao Village, Mu Liuyun's figure rose from the ground and flew vertically into the air, while Dazhao's body swelled up a bit, and he rushed towards him with the last of his strength.

People looked at everything in front of them nervously, and they could almost foresee the scene where Mu Liuyun fell from exhaustion, was caught by a crazy move, and then the two of them rolled down the mountain stream together, no one even noticed the tension of the bowstring ring.

Mu Liuyun did not fall down.

He had nowhere to rely on strength in the air, but he seemed to have stepped on an invisible wall. His figure flew forward a few feet in a straight line, and before he could land, he turned around and slapped He made a great move to jump to the edge of the cliff.

At this time, Dazhao was already distended like a drum, and he was hit by a pheasant arrow shot by Zhang Chi on his back, and then pushed by this overwhelming palm force, he fell into the cliff without any suspense.

There was a muffled "bang" from below.

Zhang Chi put away his bow, and leaned over to the edge of the cliff to look at it with lingering fear. Even he, who was used to seeing the killing field, couldn't help but feel a little nauseous at the scene of exploding flesh and blood.

***

The people in the Miao village also gradually gathered on the edge of the cliff, all pale and whispering in shock, only Bai Ling sat on the ground and cried, muttering something like "It's none of my business", "I'm just greedy for money" " and the like.

Mu Liuyun also walked towards the edge of the cliff, Zhang Chi stopped him: "Don't look at it, it's disgusting."

Mu Liuyun didn't insist, and turned to Zhang Chi and said, "Don't do this next time."

"How?" Zhang Chi froze for a moment, then scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile, "Well...hehe, you have saved my life, and for the safety of my benefactor, I am naturally obliged to do so. .”

Mu Liuyun looked at him expressionlessly: "I mean, it's useless for you to stand in front of me in that situation, it will only get in the way."

Thinking back on the scene of the fight just now, there was indeed too much of him but not too much of him, Zhang Chi's shoulders drooped feebly: "...Okay."

He showed his frustration so clearly that Mu Liuyun couldn't bear to see it that way, thinking that the other party also had good intentions, maybe he shouldn't be so unkind—even though he was just telling the truth.

However, Zhang Chi is Zhang Chi after all, and he regained his energy after a while, chasing after Mu Liuyun enthusiastically and said, "Hey, could that move you just made be the legendary lightness skill 'Treading Cloud Step'? Just jumping into the air Then, when you flew forward suddenly, I was busy saving you just now and didn't see it clearly, can you jump again and show me? It's the first time I've seen someone perform such a powerful lightness kung fu like 'Treading Cloud Step' Well, it's a pity that I didn't see clearly, hey, I'm talking to you..."

***

The troublesome corpse was handled by Adamu and others, and Zhang Chi and Mu Liuyun temporarily returned to their temporary residence.

Mu Liuyun felt that the matter here was over, and they should pack up and prepare to leave, but Zhang Chi had been silent since returning to the house, and his mind wandered away. Mu Liuyun called him twice before he came back to his senses: "Ah ?”

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Liuyun asked.

Zhang Chi scratched his head: "I still haven't figured out some things about this murder case."

Mu Liuyun has no doubts about Zhang Chi now, but he is still a little strange, why Zhang Chi seems to be more enthusiastic about this matter than himself, he said not optimistically: "Now the person who started the attack has been executed, but he still doesn't know Who is the one who buys 'murder' and kills people, Dazhao's death, the clues are also broken."

Zhang Chi said, "No, Dazhao is not the one who poisoned him, he is lying."

Mu Liuyun looked at Zhang Chi in surprise: "...Why do you say that? Do you still insist that the poisoner must be the old man who has been in the kitchen?"

"Of course it's not for this reason. Dazhao said that the people in Miaojiang had poisoning methods that I didn't know about. I believe this, but he also made a very serious mistake in his words." Zhang Chi said, "I I think you probably don’t have much idea about life, so you didn’t realize that I actually told Adamu a lie. Daoist Yichen and the others didn’t die seven days ago, but eight days ago.”

Mu Liuyun was dumbfounded, he really didn't notice such a trivial issue.

Zhang Chi continued to explain to him: "Although people in Miao Village may not remember the difference between seven days and eight days, seven days ago happened to be the Miao Village's Fire Smelting Festival, which is a very important day for Miao people. , they have no reason to remember it wrong. So I was extra careful and gave Adamu a wrong message. If other people knew about the murder from Adamu, they would think that it happened seven days ago, that is, The day of the Fire Refinement Festival. And the real murderer will definitely know that the murder actually happened the day before the Fire Refinement Festival. Dazhao said that he went out and poisoned someone on the day of the Fire Refinement Festival, but on the day of the Fire Refinement Festival, the Taoist priest Our bones are already cold, and we have already gone to Qingshanao to find Xin Lanshan to identify the poison. You may remember that there were many Miao people walking around the village in Qingshanao that day. use."
