Pawn Crossing the River

The distribution of various buildings in Zhenwu Temple is extremely particular and the rules are complicated.

Too much attention and rules means complexity. If you enter it for the first time and there is no one to guide you, you may even get lost.

This undoubtedly provided Qi Xuansu with an excellent cover. He walked between various buildings, using the shadows and night as cover, and began to hunt the incoming people in reverse.

Qi Xuansu climbed up to the roof of a relatively intact side hall, lay down behind the ridge, and set up the "sun-shooting gun" he had just obtained.

Although the "Sun Shooting Gun" is not equipped with a telescope, Qi Xuansu can use the Yin God to leave the body, use the Yin God to detect the specific location, and then fire the gun. , there are still nine out of ten shots.

After Qi Xuansu fired a gun, a person from the "Tianting" in the distance exploded. To be precise, the entire upper body of the person was torn into pieces, and the blood mist filled the air. Only the legs of the lower body were still standing straight on the ground.

This is the power of "Long Eye Yiyi".

The disadvantage is that it makes too much noise and is really not suitable for sneak attacks.

Qi Xuansu succeeded with the blunderbuss and immediately put away the blunderbuss and turned to the next place without stopping.

Sure enough, as soon as Qi Xuansu slid down the roof, he was hit by a blunderbuss where he was, and half of the roof was lifted off.

Qi Xuansu hunched over, passed by the passage behind the side hall, climbed over a mountain wall, and came to a small courtyard.

There is a small bamboo forest planted in the small courtyard here. Under the moonlight, the bamboo shadows shine on the brick and stone ground, like floating shadows on cool water, which is quite elegant.

There was a stone table and several stone benches in the bamboo forest. At this time, there was a spiritual official sitting on the ground next to the stone table, with his back leaning against the bamboo. The armor on his abdomen was broken, his flesh and blood were blurred, and he was breathing heavily.

Seeing Qi Xuansu come in, the spiritual officer struggled to pick up the spear beside him, wanting to fight to the death.

Qi Xuansu took out his badge: "One of my own, the Taoist priest in charge of Ziwei Hall, Qi Xuansu."

When the spirit officer saw the token, he breathed a sigh of relief, put down his spear, and said with difficulty: "Qi, Chief Qi, please forgive me for not being able to salute."

"Don't move." Qi Xuansu walked to Lingguan and squatted down to check his injuries.

Lingguan smiled bitterly and said: "Master Qi, please don't waste your efforts. We Lingguan are no better than Taoist priests, and we don't have any cultivation. If we don't have this armor, we will just be acquired. I, I won't be able to do it."

Qi Xuansu was silent.

This spiritual officer was seriously injured. If he were sent to Huasheng Hall now, there might be a glimmer of hope for him. But in the current situation, with dangers everywhere, where could he get to Huasheng Hall?

Lingguan murmured: "Master Qi is a Taoist priest from Ziweitang. I guess he has never been to the frontier fortress. We are Lingguan of the frontier fortress. We cannot say that we have seen through life and death. We have already become accustomed to it. My...many of my Paoze brothers , all died at the hands of heretics, stained with blood on the battlefield."

At this point, he breathed heavily again: "I was lucky enough to survive. I didn't die in the Gobi Desert of the Western Region, but died in the prosperous Jinling. But..."

Qi Xuansu asked softly: "But what?"

"But, but..." Lingguan did not finish his words after all. His voice became smaller and smaller, his breath became weaker and weaker, and the light in his eyes became dimmer and dimmer.

Finally, he stopped breathing, still with his eyes open, looking through the bamboo forest at the high night sky.

Maybe at the last moment of his life, he saw the brothers Pao Ze from the past.

Now, they are reunited.

Qi Xuansu stood up in silence, not knowing what to say.

He was born into a gangster, like a lone wolf who had never had a robe, and he had no way of understanding this kind of emotion. But at this moment, he felt a little sad.

Qi Xuansu walked out of the courtyard. There were many corpses along the way, including those of spiritual officials and people from the "Heavenly Court". Turning a corner, there is a flower hall, where two people from the "Heavenly Court" are placing the "Fengyan Jiaba".

Qi Xuansu did not fire the gun, but pulled out "Feiying" and got close to the two people in an instant.

The person who was placing the "Phoenix Eyes Jiaba" hardly reacted at all, and was directly chopped off by Qi Xuansu. The blood was like a fountain, staining the "Phoenix Eyes Jiaba" in his hand red.

The person in charge of the warning roared and slashed at Qi Xuansu with his knife. Qi Xuansu stabbed the knife into his mouth and passed through him.

Two bodies fell to the ground.

Qi Xuansu glanced at "Fengyan Jiaba". It was completely different from "Fengyan Jiajiu". It did not look like a round bead that could be held in one hand, but was square and square, like a box. It seemed that it required special techniques to detonate, so it was not suitable. It is inconvenient to throw it away and carry it.

So he pressed the two corpses on top of "Fengyan Jiaba", turned around and left the place.

In fact, there should not be so few people in the Zhenwu Temple. Just to welcome the arrival of the investigation team, Jiangnan Daofu specially emptied the Zhenwu Temple, making the huge Zhenwu Temple very quiet, and many palaces and pavilions were empty.

In addition, Zhenwu Temple occupies an area comparable to that of the royal palace, so after the initial fierce battle, both the attacking "Heavenly Court" people and the defensive Taoist spiritual officials gradually dispersed throughout Zhenwu Temple, becoming Hide and seek, this is one of the reasons why the people of "Heavenly Court" keep placing "Fengyan Jiaba". If they don't use this drastic method, they will not be able to clear out the Zhenwu Temple at dawn.

The reason why I say it is one of the reasons is because there is a more important reason - the elimination of evidence.

In order to eliminate all kinds of negative effects caused by torture and extorting confessions, Xuansheng stipulated that in the trials of various cases, the proportion of oral confessions should be reduced and more emphasis should be placed on physical evidence.

This time the investigation team investigated the case, and the progress of the case was not just as simple as Ye Xiu's confession. It can only be said that Ye Xiu's confession was only the key breakthrough point. In addition, there was a large amount of physical evidence.

For example, all the account books of the Yanqing Chamber of Commerce, some of the account books of Zixian Mountain and Jiangnan Province, as well as the entry and exit records of Shibotang, the records of customs transactions in various places, the entry and exit records of various warehouses, and various other case files. For example, the case file on the cause of Feng Bo's death that Zhang Yuelu handed over to Lei Xiaohuan, the post-investigation file on the Yuanyuan fire, the testimonies of other witnesses, etc., are too numerous to mention. Only with the existence of these physical evidence can Ye Xiu's confession be corroborated. However, these evidences have not yet been summarized and sorted out. The amount is too huge, covering several houses. No one can carry it with them in Xumiwu, so they are all placed in Zhenwu Temple.

This is also the reason why Jiangnan Daofu emptied the Zhenwu Temple.

The people in the "Tianting" don't know where exactly these evidences are placed, but as long as the entire Zhenwu Temple is destroyed, these evidences will no longer exist.

If human witnesses need to be silenced, don’t physical evidences need to be silenced?

After Qi Xuansu killed more than ten people in a row, he saw several halls on fire.

Qi Xuansu knew that no matter how many people he killed, it would be useless. Sooner or later he would be buried in a sea of ​​fire. The most correct choice was to leave Zhenwu Temple now, but he couldn't worry about Zhang Yuelu. He didn't know how she was doing. So Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, then changed direction and returned to the dungeon.

However, Qi Xuansu was unlucky. After turning back, he found that Marshal Tianpeng was still guarding outside the dungeon door with no intention of leaving. However, there was no Taoist spiritual official around, and there were no other people from the "Heavenly Court". Only He is alone.

Although the distance between the two was far away, the cultivation of heavenly beings was not fake. Just when Qi Xuansu saw Marshal Tianpeng from a distance, Marshal Tianpeng also spotted Qi Xuansu at a glance.

Marshal Tianpeng still remembered Qi Xuansu. At this time, Qi Xuansu came back alone without seeing the men he sent out, so the result was already obvious.

He actually underestimated this little Taoist priest.

Forget it, let him take action himself, and he should just stretch his muscles.

After Marshal Tianpeng said this, he lifted his feet into the air and flew toward Qi Xuansu like a big bird.

Among many inheritances, Wufu is a special case. In the free stage of heavenly beings, he still cannot fly in the air. Monks are very similar to warriors, except that they are not pure. Their Qi and blood are huge but not condensed. However, being impure also has its advantages. Monks are not like warriors who completely abstain from magic. They can fly in the air in the free stage.

Qi Xuansu was shocked when he saw Marshal Tianpeng heading towards him, and he raised the "Sun Shooting Long Gun" in his hand.

The monk's body was far less strong than that of the warrior, and the bludgeon left a bloody hole in Marshal Tianpeng's body.

But the bhikkhu's Qi and blood are too huge, and his body is even too big. This small blood hole can't be said to be comparable to a mosquito bite, but it can't be said to be an injury. Even the flesh and blood on his body only shakes slightly, and the blood hole is Disappear.

At this moment, Marshal Tianpeng had already arrived in front of Qi Xuansu.
