Traveling through the heavens starts from practicing swords in the palace

Chapter 121. 120. The Man in Black

Although it is difficult to fall asleep at night, I can finally wake up naturally during the day, which can be said to be relatively comfortable.

There are still days to go, and hardships to go through.

Lin Pingzhi's mind was already a mess. The more information he knew, the more confused he became about this matter.

I really don’t know how to solve crimes.

These days there are no cameras and no fingerprint technology.

After analysis and analysis, there are only a few people who have the motive to kill, but it is really difficult for Lin Pingzhi to determine who killed the person.

But unless this person is caught, he can't leave here, and there may even be a fierce battle with the beggar gang.

I stopped and went in the sub-helm of the beggar gang and asked people here and there when I saw people. I couldn't ask anything new, but I still wondered if I could make new discoveries.

It is said that the people of the Huashan Sect were besieged by fifteen masters on Mount Taiyi. Linghu Chong was a weakling because he had not learned the Dugu Nine Swords. Yue Buqun and Ning Zhong could not withstand the siege of these people.

But of course at the moment they can only hope for good luck, Lin Pingzhi's own affairs have not yet been resolved.

Just when Lin Pingzhi felt that he had no idea, a disciple of the Beggar Clan sent a message: Master Ding wants to see Mr. Lin.

When Lin Pingzhi heard that Ding Qiao was looking for him, his heart moved. Is there any new development?
When he saw Ding Qiao, the beggar gang's rudder leader had a bad complexion, and even felt a little depressed.

Lin Pingzhi comforted: "My condolences to Master Ding. Brother Feng Liang cannot be resurrected after death. We should cheer up and find the real murderer to avenge him, so as to comfort his spirit in heaven."

Ding Qiao said: "What Mr. Lin said is absolutely true... Do you know why I came to find you?"

Lin Pingzhi said: "But there is a new development?"

Ding Qiao said: "There is news about that Wudang disciple."

Lin Pingzhi said happily after hearing the words, "Where is Wudang disciple Zhu Fei now?"

Zhu Fei was probably the person who was with Fengliang before his death and had a great influence on this whole matter.

Moreover, the grievances between Yan Chu and the Wudang Sect can also be known from this brother's mouth.

Finding Zhu Fei undoubtedly means that Feng Liang's death has made great progress.

Ding Qiao said: "He has returned to the Wudang sect..."

Lin Pingzhi hurriedly said, "Then I'll go to Wudang Mountain to find him. Master Ding Duo is in a hurry. I'll go to Wudang Mountain to find Zhu Fei and ask some questions. I definitely don't want to run away from the Beggar Clan...Ding Duo Can the Lord give this facility."

Ding Qiao said: "Young Master Lin, you are welcome. I have learned before that if you want to leave, I will never let the disciples of the Beggar Clan conflict with you to avoid heavy casualties. At that time, even if you keep the Young Master, you will lose more than you gain, let alone the Young Master. It may not necessarily be the murderer. Of course, the young master can leave at any time."

Lin Pingzhi said: "Thank you Ding Duozhu. Since I agreed to stay in the Beggar Clan, I will never leave until the truth comes to light. Going to Wudang Mountain is just to find out the need of this matter. I will definitely go and return soon."

Speaking of which, Lin Pingzhi turned around in a hurry, wanting to go to Wudang Mountain to find Zhu Fei to confirm some things.

But he was stopped by Ding Qiao.

Lin Pingzhi looked at Ding Qiao who was standing in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "Master Ding...you, what do you mean? Didn't you just say that I can leave?"

Ding Qiao resolutely stopped Lin Pingzhi, but of course he had a good reason not to let Lin Ping go to Wudang Mountain.

He said: "Young Master Lin, someone has come down from Wudang Mountain, let's go and meet him first."

When I arrived at the living room, I saw a person sitting upright in a Taoist robe, and when I saw Lin Pingzhi coming over, I got up and saluted.

Ding Qiao returned the gift. When Lin Pingzhi saw this Taoist, he smiled and said, "Taoist Master, what a coincidence, we meet again."

It happened to be the Taoist priest I met when I went to Wudang Mountain two days ago to verify Fengliang.

At this time, Lin Pingzhi didn't have to pretend to be a beggar anymore, so he washed the filth off his body. The Taoist leader didn't recognize it at the first time, but he immediately reacted and said, "Mr. Lin, you are here too! Hey, last time your sword But I really can't figure it out, is there really such a fast swordsmanship in the world, so fast that I can't see raising my hand?"

Lin Pingzhi smiled slightly, and said: "It's a small skill class with an axe, and the Taiji swordsmanship on Wudang Mountain can be regarded as the unparalleled swordsmanship in the world."

This is not wrong. Isn't there a unique swordsmanship in this world?

Ding Qiao said: "It turns out that Mr. Lin has known this Taoist Qingcheng before, so you can save me the trouble of introducing him."

The three of them sat down. Lin Pingzhi looked straight to the point and asked, "Why did the Taoist come to the Beggar Clan? Is it because I broke a table on your mountain that day and came to seek compensation from me?"

Hearing this, Qingcheng chuckled and said, "Master Lin is joking. Although we are poor in Wudang Mountain, we can't even care about a table. What's more, if we can see Master Lin's peerless sword, it's a poor man's gain..."

Lin Pingzhi stopped talking nonsense, and interrupted him: "Since the Taoist priest didn't come here for the table, I would like to ask the Taoist priest about something—I heard that one of your disciples named Zhu Fei returned to Wudang Mountain ,wonder if it is or not?"

When Ding Qiao saw a distinguished guest from the Wudang School, he wanted to greet him for a while.Although this Qingcheng is not a Taoist of the first Chongzi generation in Wudang, he is also considered an outstanding figure in the second generation. He has heard of it before, so he must be treated well when he comes to the Beggar Clan in person.

But since Lin Pingzhi asked directly, Ding Qiao also showed concern.

Daoist Qingcheng heard the words and said: "Mr. Lin, Master Ding Duo, you don't know, I came here for Zhu Fei's matter."

Lin Pingzhi and Ding Qiao looked at each other, and they both saw the look in each other's eyes.

The so-called not going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, the Taoist priest suddenly came to disturb him, and the only thing he thought of being related seemed to be the matter of Feng Liang.

Ding Qiaodao: "I would also like to invite the Taoist priest to talk about the trouble. Does your sect Zhu Fei have any words that you want you to convey to our Beggar Clan sub-helm?"

Lin Pingzhi said more directly, "Does Zhu Fei know about Fengliang? He himself is afraid that coming to the Beggars' Gang will be dangerous, so he asked the Taoist priest to come here?"

Taoist Priest Qingcheng's expression became shocked when he heard this, and said, "Master Lin also knew that Zhu Fei mentioned Fengliang?"

Lin Pingzhi nodded and said, "What did Zhu Fei say? Did he mention who did it?"

Daoist Qing Cheng said: "Here...he mentioned a person's name, but I don't know if it is that person, so I came to the beggar gang to verify."

Seeing the anxiety in Lin Pingzhi's eyes, Daoist Qingcheng continued: "Mr. Lin, don't be impatient. Let me tell you what happened. After I finish, I need you to help me read the details."

Lin Pingzhi nodded again and again, almost blurting out, hurry up and say, don't BB what you have.

Daoist Qingcheng said: "Two nights ago, the Taoist priests of our Wudang sect who guarded the door heard a noise. They thought it was some kind of thief, but when they lifted the lamp to look, they found out that it was a disciple of our Wudang sect."

Lin Pingzhi said, "Is that Zhu Fei? He returned to your Wudang Mountain overnight?"

Daoist Qingcheng nodded and said: "It is Zhu Fei, but when he found Zhu Fei, he had passed out on the ground. The two Taoist priests who guarded the door hurriedly carried him to the bed to rest, and immediately passed on to the person who was in charge of the night's duty. I."

"I heard that Zhu Fei was in a coma, and I was also very surprised. In my impression, Zhu Fei is a dull person who doesn't like to talk. It's hard to hurt him, too."

Lin Pingzhi was shocked when he heard that Zhu Fei was in a coma, and when he heard Taoist Qingcheng say that Zhu Fei would not argue with others, he secretly thought it was funny, at least he had an argument with Yan Chu and even stabbed Yan Chu hand.

Daoist Qingcheng said: "I felt Zhu Fei's pulse at that time, and I noticed that his pulse was stable and there should be no serious problem, so I thought about asking him what happened after Zhu Fei woke up."

Lin Pingzhi heard something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Then is he awake now?"

Daoist Qingcheng shook his head and said: "It's strange to say that Zhu Fei's pulse is stable, but he hasn't woken up for a long time, which is really contrary to common sense. Several uncles on our mountain who are better than me in martial arts and even several times better than me have also checked his injuries. They all thought he was in such a strange situation.”

Ding Qiao said at this time: "Taoist priests understand the principles of yin and yang in the human body. If you don't even know the reason, it would be really bizarre."

Taoist Master Qingcheng said: "Exactly, our leader, Master Chongxu, is not out in the mountains these days. We don't know the reason, and we all feel helpless. At this time, a disciple suddenly said from the side, will Senior Brother Zhu Could it be poisoning? This reminds us that Zhu Fei is unconscious, not necessarily because he suffered internal injuries and his breath was disordered. It may be that he was poisoned by some strange poison, which caused his spirit to be scattered and he was unconscious."

"Then a senior uncle said that he heard that there is a poison in Baiyaomen called Baitianzui, which can make people sleep for many days without waking up. It seems to be similar to Zhu Fei's symptoms now."

"But it's one thing to be able to think of the poison, and another to be able to detoxify it. We tried many prescriptions, all of which were refreshing ideas. We forcefully poured them into Zhu Fei's mouth and asked him to drink, but he just couldn't wake up. change."

"We can't. We know that it is impossible to interpret it by ourselves. We can only find the poisoner and ask for the antidote. At this time, the disciple guarding the gate remembered that Zhu Fei still had the last sliver of consciousness before he went up the mountain and passed out. He said something..."

Lin Pingzi and Ding Qiao asked together when they heard the words: "What are you talking about?"

Dao Qingcheng said: "The disciple also forgot what Zhu Fei said at the beginning, but later he slowly remembered that it was Zhu Fei who said an incomplete sentence before he fell into a coma, and it seemed to include the beggar gang... What."

"We were really surprised that this matter involved the Beggars' Gang. At that time, several uncles said that the Beggars' Gang is a chivalrous sect, and the Hubei branch of the Beggars' Gang has always been in harmony with our Wudang faction. The members of the Beggars' Gang In any case, it will not hurt my Wudang disciples."

"In order to verify our idea, several uncles told me to come to the Beggars' Gang and meet this disciple named Fengliang. To be honest, the disciple's words were vague. Originally, I only knew about Fengliang. The rough pronunciation of the two characters, I just heard Mr. Lin say this name before I was sure."

"I don't know if Ding Duozhu can call out this Fengliang brother, let me ask him a few words..."

When it came to the end, Daoist Qingcheng's words flickered a little. Although he said that it would definitely not be done by the disciples of the Beggars' Gang, the meaning was obviously that he believed that it was related to the Beggars' Gang.

Seeing him like this, Ding Qiao was a little displeased, sneered, and said, "The Taoist priest came at an inappropriate time, Feng Liang is not here at this meeting."

Daoist Qingcheng replied that Dingqiao meant that Fengliang was not in the sub-rudder, and said: "Then I just have to disturb you for a while, and stay in your gang for a while, and when Brother Fengliang comes back, I will ask him a few more words."

Lin Pingzhi smiled miserably, and said: "It's really a coincidence that the Taoist priest came here. You have to wait here for a lifetime before you can see him in another world."

Daoist Qingcheng was taken aback for a moment, and it took a while before he realized, and said, "This Fengliang brother of your gang, he, he is...

Lin Pingzhi said: "Exactly, Feng Liang is dead. Daoist, Zhu Fei may be the last person to see Feng Liang. I had this idea before, and hearing what you said about Zhu Fei before he fell into a coma is even more confirmed. It’s my guess. But since he’s unconscious, this clue will be cut off.”

Daoist Qingcheng was still in shock, and said, "Dead...dead, what is going on?"

The reason why Lin Ping told him what happened.

Daoist Qing Cheng said: "So, before Feng Liang died, we made an appointment to meet Mr. Lin at the gate of the Beggar Clan, and Zhu Fei from our Wudang sect also made an appointment. But in the end, Feng Liang died, and Zhu Fei also fell into a coma. Before he woke up and passed out, he said the words Beggar Gang Fengliang."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Pingzhi with strange eyes.

Lin Pingzhi said angrily, "Master Daoist, how is my sword skill?"

Daoist Qingcheng gave a thumbs up and said a high word.

Lin Pingzhi said: "If I want to kill Zhu Fei, I can kill him with a single sword strike, so why use any drug."

Although these words are a bit crazy, they are true. Taoist Master Qingcheng's face softened a little and said: "It seems that Feng Liang's death may not be related to Mr. Lin, and our Wudang Zhu Fei may not be harmed by Mr. Lin."

These two words may not be very spiritual, but Lin Pingzi can't do it either.

In the eyes of others, Lin Pingzhi was indeed the most suspicious.

Regardless of his motivation, swordsmanship or past style, Lin Pingzhi is very similar to the person who did this.

After all, he had killed many people before, especially after he killed many people who snatched the evil sword manual at the junction of Jiangxi and Fujian. He also identified Lin Pingzhi as a violent young man who killed people without blinking an eye.

Lin Pingzhi smiled wryly, but didn't know how to argue.

Daoist Qingcheng also felt confused. He wanted to come to the Beggars' Gang to look for Fengliang, and even felt a little guilty, but he didn't expect that the person he was looking for died, which is really a bit unlucky.

Ding Qiao said at this time: "Don't worry, Daoist, Mr. Lin and our beggar gang are investigating the cause of Feng Liang's death. I believe his death has a lot to do with Zhu Fei's coma. If there is any progress, we will cooperate with you." Wudang Mountain will make an explanation."

Dao Qingcheng said: "There is Lao Ding, the helmsman, so I will take my leave first. If there is anything that needs my help from the Wudang faction, you can come to the mountain to find us at any time."

Lin Pingzhi said: "It must be, the Taoist priest is walking slowly, the hospitality is not good, so I will send you off soon."

When Ding Qiao saw that Lin Pingzhi had rushed to speak his lines, he could only smile wryly, and there was a trace of sadness in the wry smile, after all, the young man he personally promoted and admired died like this.

---

Another clue was broken, Lin Pingzhi returned to the thatched hut, Yan Chu was not there, he secretly found out the wine jar that Yan Chu had hidden, poured a large bowl of wine, and then took the next night Yan Chu was reluctant to finish eating The hidden peanuts were poured into his mouth and eaten.In fact, the taste is really not flattering, but thinking of Yan Chu's helpless expression when he saw that the wine ran out and the peanuts were gone, I thought it was great.

He was drinking and thinking about something, when he suddenly felt someone outside, it was pure intuition, not really hearing the movement.

He drank the wine calmly and ate the peanuts. After drinking the wine, he would also eat the peanuts. Naturally, he would not be drunk if he had peanuts. With the intention of giving it a try, he rushed out of the thatched hut in an instant.

Looking in all directions, there was no one outside, and it turned out that the man's intuition was inaccurate.

Lin Pingzhi murmured: "I seem to have heard a dog barking. Could it be that I heard it wrong?"

"Well, auditory hallucinations."

Turn around and go back to the thatched cottage.

But just as he turned around, Lin Pingzhi quickly swept straight up and flew straight up.

He has been practicing Lingbo micro-stepping for a long time, he has a high level of comprehension and he has achieved good lightness kung fu, his body flies like a bird, although he is not as superb as the master Zong Ning of Baihua Valley back then, he is definitely not too bad.

In an instant, he flew up to the thatched roof, and sure enough, he saw a figure.

The thatched hut itself was dilapidated, small and low, and it was said to be a roof, but in fact there was almost no place to stand on it. Lin Pingzhi said to the person on the roof, "Your Excellency is so light."

The man sneered, jumped off the roof, and quickly withdrew.

Lin Pingzhi pursued him without hesitation.

Although he only saw the profile of the man on the roof, Lin Pingzhi already knew the identity of this man.

To be precise, Lin Pingzhi didn't know the identity of this person, but he did meet him.

——It was the man in black that he had seen in the pavilion by the river that day.

Of course, the man in black is just a name summed up by Lin Pingzhi based on the characteristics of this person, and it is not a really accurate label. At least today, the "man in black" is not wearing black clothes, but a red robe.

"This man in black must have nothing to do with Feng Liang's death."

"Don't mess with the man in black."

Lin Pingzhi remembered the advice of Ding Qiao and Elder Dong, and while chasing the "man in black", he thought: "It's not me who messed with him today, but he messed with me."

"Besides, no matter how you can ensure that this person has nothing to do with Feng Liang's death, I will always catch him and question him. If it really has nothing to do with him, why are you watching me?"

"What is the identity of this person? Both Ding Qiao and Mr. Dong obviously recognize him, and they seem to be afraid of him."

While thinking about it, he didn't stop and followed Lingbo Weibu's steps to catch up.

This man in black is very good at lightness kung fu, and his steps are solid and his inner strength is deep. Lin Pingzhi may not be able to catch up with the lightness kung fu after learning such a short period of time.

Fortunately, Lingbo Weibu is indeed the top lightness kung fu. Lin Pingzhi didn't feel tired at all when he stepped on the eight trigrams.

At the beginning, the "man in black" had the upper hand, leading Lin Pingzhi all the way, and even tended to pull further and further away.

But Lingbo Weibusheng is still free and unrestrained in long-distance running, and his strength is relatively long, so after half an hour, Lin Pingzhi felt that he was about to catch up with this person.

There is only more than two feet left.

The "man in black" will be captured soon, which may explain a series of doubts in his heart these days.

But at the same time Lin Pingzhi found himself in the depths of a forest.

The Beggar Clan branch was originally located on the outskirts of Xiangyang City, but now it was even more in the wilderness, surrounded by trees and far away from human habitation.

Lin Pingzhi murmured in his heart that something was wrong: "Could it be that this person lured me here on purpose, but actually planted an ambush?"

After having this thought, Lin Pingzhi knew that he had to stop the person in front as soon as possible, otherwise it would be more dangerous to stay in the wild for a while.

Lin Pingzhi held a silver needle in his hand.He used ordinary embroidery needles as a trial before, but after he became proficient, he would naturally improve his style, so he asked people to buy many silver needles and gold needles to carry with him.

Lin Pingzhi had been in the Jianghu for a long time, and he was contaminated with the aura of Jianghu people, he didn't want to fly out the silver needle directly, so he said first: "If your Excellency still doesn't stop, I will send a hidden weapon."

Although it is a hidden weapon, it becomes an "open weapon" by vocalizing the enemy before taking action.

The ears of the "man in black" twitched slightly, as if he heard Lin Pingzhi's words, but he still ran forward, showing no intention of stopping.

The silver needle flew out.

I don't know if it's because he has eyes behind his back or because he can hear the wind to tell where he is. The "man in black" still rushes forward, but avoids the flying needle with his body on one side.

Lin Pingzhi avoided his voice well, came out with the Yingying sword, and the Sunflower Book activated a strange movement.

The long-lost evil sword technique.

Lin Pingzhi was originally two feet away from the "man in black", but when the man in black turned his body sideways to avoid the silver needle, the distance shortened a bit. Lin Pingzhi's evil sword technique is so quick and agile, the short-distance displacement That's like the speed of light.

The "man in black" didn't expect that the person chasing him could suddenly attack so fast. Hearing the sound of the sword wind, he turned his head to see the sword move, and hurriedly hid aside.

This time he dodged very quickly, and even with the speed of his sword technique to ward off evil, it didn't work.

But Lin Pingzhi didn't take it seriously, and pointed his sword at the "man in black", preventing him from retreating again.

The "man in black" felt that the vital parts of his body were covered by the sword force, and he knew that as long as he wanted to leave, he would be followed by the sword move, and it was difficult for him to retreat with his whole body.

He was also panicked and said calmly: "Sure enough, you are good at swordsmanship. But if you want to keep me here with your little ability, you are taking yourself too seriously."

Lin Pingzhi said indifferently: "I'm not very good at studying, I know that many seniors in the martial arts and swordsmanship in the world are much better than me, and I also know that you are not easy to mess with..."

"But I still have a bad habit, that is, if someone messes with me first, I can never show weakness."

The "man in black" snorted coldly, with some disdain.

Lin Pingzhi was still waiting to talk, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

Sure enough, someone is ambushing here?

Although Lin Pingzhi was not very scared, he was very energetic. After all, this "man in black" might be the murderer, and he might have to fight for his life in a while.

He turned around and found that the man behind him was an old man wearing a Taoist robe.

Another Taoist priest?
Lin Pingzhi saw the white-haired and white-bearded old man in the Taoist robe, but he couldn't see anything special about it. He was just an ordinary old man, and his temperament was not as good as the "man in black", but he didn't dare to take it lightly, and asked tentatively: "The Taoist priest came from Wudang Mountain?"

The old man in Taoist robes looked kindly, and nodded slightly when he heard the words.

Lin Pingzhi asked again: "Dare to ask about the long Dharma name?"

The old man in the Taoist robe smiled, and replied slowly: "The name of the impoverished Taoist is Chongxu."

He said it calmly, but it made Lin Pingzhi stunned.

Chongxu, this old Taoist priest who looks so ordinary is the leader of Wudang Sect, the second largest sect in the world, Taoist Master Chongxu with superb Tai Chi sword skills?
Lin Pingzhi didn't believe it. If you said you were Chongxu, you were Chongxu. I also got Shaolin Fangzhang's certificate!

But he felt vaguely in his heart that this ordinary-looking old Taoist priest was not lying.

If this old man is Chongxu, then who is this "man in black"?
"If Chongxu wants to attack me, even if I come first, I may not be able to win, not to mention that there is a 'man in black' who is definitely not weak and whose identity is unknown, it will be even more dangerous. Although Chongxu is such a big head, he can't embarrass me, a young man, but no one here knows, maybe he also wants to get the evil sword manual? Is there anything in the Jianghu that is impossible to happen?"

Lin Pingzhi even regretted it a little, why didn't he listen to Ding Qiao and Mr. Dong's words, and chased him out alone.

This "man in black" is really not easy to mess with.
