Mirroring the changes

"Has the danger of the Killing Temple been resolved?" Xu Sanxiao was slightly stunned.

Originally, he was going to go to the southern border for support.

But the secret order from the Xuanjing Division has not arrived yet.

Although the secret order has arrived at this time, he did not expect that the crisis of the Killing Temple has been resolved.

"The slightest mistake."

Xu Sanxiao muttered silently.

Since he joined the Xuanjing Division when he was young, he has been recognized by the "Qiuhao Mirror".

Qiuhao Mirror, sees the slightest detail and solves cases like a god.

Wherever this mirror reflects, everything is visible, and no detail can escape.

It is the most magical tool for investigating cases.

Therefore, in the world of cultivation, Xu Sanxiao is also known as the "God Detective".

A few years ago, there was an abnormal change in the southern border. The Lord of Anping City, Helian Chen, joined forces with the Ghost Cult to break into Xiangfei Valley and wanted to seize its inheritance.

Fortunately, there was an accident, so they failed.

But Pei Shangzhang, the Lord of the Xuanjing Division, saw a group of black magic energy from the "Tianji Mirror".

It is not a good omen.

So he sent Xu Sanxiao, the Qiuhaojing, to travel to southern Xinjiang to investigate.

Xu Sanxiao followed the only clues and found no problems.

But the more he did so, the more uneasy he became.

Because he had been in the industry for many years, from his detective's perspective, all perfection was a carefully decorated illusion.

But everything in Anping City was perfect.

This just shows that there must be some unknown big secret hidden in it.

So he threw away all the existing evidence and focused his attention on the City Lord's Mansion outside of all the clues.

It's strange to say that Xiangfei Valley was almost occupied by the Ghost Cult, and Anping City was in danger, but the City Lord's Mansion was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, and there was no movement at all.

But the strange thing is that the two protagonists of that disaster came from the City Lord's Mansion.

One was Helian Chen, the former city lord who joined forces with the Ghost Cult and wanted to annex the entire Xiangfei Valley.

The other is the current city lord Helian Bo, who killed his own father for the sake of justice.

One is the old city lord with a good reputation, and the other is the current city lord who is a dandy.

But a catastrophe that almost threatened the entire southern Xinjiang quietly disappeared between this father and son.

In the end, the old city lord Helian Chen was killed, and the eldest son Helian Bo, who was not well-received, inherited the title and became the new city lord.

No matter how he looked at it, Xu Sanxiao firmly believed that there must be some shocking secrets hidden in the city lord's mansion.

So later he entered the city lord's mansion and prepared to secretly investigate with the Qiuhao mirror.

But just as he was getting closer to the truth step by step, the King of Liang of Feiluzhou suddenly forcibly recruited him to Feiluzhou in the name of "looking for crickets".

This inevitably makes people more suspicious.

When the Great Zhou was founded, there were 19 meritorious officials beside the throne.

Expanding the territory and making contributions for thousands of years.

So Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty appointed 19 people as the most powerful ministers and named them the 19 kings under the emperor, to be inherited from generation to generation.

The 19 kings each had their own private property. Although they were under the jurisdiction of the Great Zhou, they were independent of the Great Zhou and could be said to be free and unrestrained.

And the King of Liang was one of the 19 kings who inherited the throne from generation to generation.

When he was young, he was a friend of Emperor Heng. Later, he helped Emperor Heng ascend to the supreme throne. Emperor Heng praised him a lot when he was in power.

However, Emperor Heng was in power for less than a hundred years, and then the current Emperor Shuo ascended the throne.

This King of Liang used the excuse of old age and frailty to no longer participate in government affairs. He lived in seclusion in the territory of Feiluzhou and played with crickets every day.

If it were normal, he would summon the Xuanjing Division.

It happened to be the critical time for Xu Sanxiao to investigate the chaos in southern Xinjiang, so he had a little doubt in his heart.

Could the King of Liang be related to the chaos in southern Xinjiang?

This idea was like a spark that spread all over the prairie, and it couldn't be shaken off in his mind.

So at that time, Xu Sanxiao took advantage of the situation and lived in the other courtyard of the King of Liang's mansion, waiting for an opportunity to find some clues.

The King of Liang seemed to have forgotten him and never drove him away.

Xu Sanxiao took the opportunity to use the Qiuhao mirror to search for the tricks in the Prince of Liang's mansion.

His efforts paid off, and he really used the mirror to find several mysterious clues.

Following the clues, they finally gathered at the Prince of Liang's residence, but the Prince of Liang was very secretive, and seemed to be covered by a strange treasure.

Even the Qiuhao mirror could not see clearly.

But this made Xu Sanxiao more certain of his guess: this Prince of Liang must have something to do with the chaos in Southern Xinjiang two years ago, or even the disaster in the Killing Temple this time!

Today, he received a secret letter from the Xuanjing Division, which meant that Lord Jingxuan had allowed him to continue investigating.

Since the clues in the Prince of Liang's mansion were interrupted, he turned his attention to several other clues.

And one of them was the Xiujian Zhao family not far from the Prince of Liang's mansion.

It was a coincidence that the Zhao family had a marriage relationship with Anping City in Southern Xinjiang.

The previous Lord of Anping City, Helian Chen, lost his wife in his early years, and the third daughter of the Zhao family was the continuation of his marriage.

So Helian Chen's eldest son Helian Bo was left by his deceased wife, and the second son Helian Bi was born to Miss Zhao.

Originally, the throne of the Lord of Anping City was 99% likely to fall to the second son, but no one had ever thought that Helian Bo, who had always been low-key, would take the position of Lord.

Not long after Helian Bo took the throne, Helian Bi, who had always been at odds with him, suddenly died of a serious illness.

At that time, Xu Sanxiao had used a Qiuhao mirror to look at his body and confirmed it.

But what surprised him was that not long ago he actually saw a person in Feiluzhou who looked exactly like the dead Helian Bi.

Even the traces of karma reflected by the Qiuhao mirror were the same.

Southern Xinjiang, Anping City, Feiluzhou, Zhao Family, Liang Wang Mansion.

For a moment, Xu Sanxiao felt that he was in a big net.

Where should he start to investigate?

…

Outside the Killing Mountain in Southern Xinjiang.

On an unknown hilltop, a ghost messenger of the Huangquan Sect dressed in black, the Burning World Venerable, stood on the hilltop and looked into the distance.

Behind him stood two figures, one of whom was Qian Zifang, who lowered his head and stood slightly, with a deep face, but his eyes were looking at Mu Hongye on the other side.

Since being accepted as a disciple by the Burning World Venerable, Mu Hongye has stepped into the territory of Jiuzhou.

He has always despised the Southern Wilderness for not being able to realize his ambitions, and now he finally fulfilled his wish.

But he offended his cheap senior brother Qian Zifang invisibly.

However, although this senior brother has a lot of cultivation, he has no foresight in his heart.

In contrast, Mu Hongye is a hero, and his eyes are all over the world.

So the Burning World Venerable likes this new disciple very much.

"Hongye, if I want to take over the Killing Temple, where should I start?" The Burning World Venerable standing on the hilltop asked as if jokingly.

Qian Zifang's face darkened and his eyes turned slightly. It was obvious that he hated this new junior brother.

But Mu Hongye was watching his nose and his heart, as if nothing happened. After a little thought, he uttered three words: "Killing Forest."

The Venerable Fenjie pursed his lips, nodded slightly, and said with appreciation: "Okay."

Then he turned to the other side: "Zifang, do you know why?"

Qian Zifang was startled, and then his face turned slightly red, and a few beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He was really not good at calculating with his mind, so he stood there and hesitated.

The Venerable Fenjie was annoyed and just glared at him coldly: "What a blockhead."
