Pawn Crossing the River

Yao Pei moved quickly, and Sun Hewu gave her a positive answer - there were indeed traces of Qi on the flying sword that did not belong to Qi Jianyuan.

If they are both Qi practitioners in the same Taoist sect, they will learn the same method, and there will not be much difference in their initial Qi. However, due to the different magical powers and techniques practiced, the external manifestations of true energy will be quite different.

Just as the ancient immortals have different divine powers, Wu Luo's divine power is the most domineering and most lethal; Siming Zhenjun's divine power has the power of immortality, while Ziguang Zhenjun's divine power is the most special and is good at imitating other people's divine powers, such as The ice-cold divine power used in the teaching was to imitate the divine power of True Lord Taiyin.

After using different techniques to activate the initial Qi, whether it is transformed into sword Qi or used to control the sword, there are traces to follow. People with a discerning eye can deduce the method they practiced through various traces, and then use it to control the sword. Use the method to determine its origin.

It's just that this kind of trace is extremely subtle, and it's difficult to see it if you don't have enough realm or vision. Even Yao Pei is not sure about this. However, this is the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. There is usually a first-grade innocent Taoist priest who is in charge of the palace. Da Zhenren is not here, and Sun Hewu is also there.

At first, Sun Hewu didn't think about it, but after Yao Pei's reminder, he checked Feijian with a skeptical attitude, which confirmed Yao Pei and Qi Xuansu's speculation - Qi Jianyuan was not killed by Feijian. The murderer of that female teacher was someone else.

Although the murderer had deliberately concealed these very subtle traces, he still could not escape Sun Hewu's detection.

According to Sun Hewu's identification, the technique used to kill the female instructor with a flying sword should be the "Thirty-Six Sword Techniques of the Big Dipper".

What Qi Jianyuan learned was the "Twenty-Eight Sword Techniques of the South Dou", which was derived from the "Thirty-Six Sword Techniques of the Big Dipper", but was more righteous and peaceful, and even stepped into the threshold of Xuanmen's righteous way.

As the saying goes, Beidou leads to death, while South Dou leads to life. The "Thirty-Six Swords of Beidou" is more lethal, but it is like a double-edged sword, hurting others and yourself. The hidden danger is loss of lifespan, and the degree of aging is even different from that of the same person. For people in the realm, in the past, generations of the Li family preferred this method, and there were many white-haired old people. In a time of great strife or troubled times, life is precarious, and few people can die well. Being alive first is the most important thing, and losing a little life span is not a hidden danger at all. Therefore, people who practice the "Thirty-Six Swords of the Big Dipper" are extremely Many times, the Li family also relied on this family method to prosper.

However, after the Taoist sect was revived, there were few disputes, and there were spiritual officers to charge on their behalf. This kind of technique that focused exclusively on killing power and damaging longevity was not liked by the Taoist sect disciples. It was rather like a dragon-slaying technique with no use for it. , even members of the Li family rarely practice this ancestral method.

After all, lifespan is more precious than anything else in the peaceful and prosperous times. The core disciples of the Li family are all in great power. They wish they could increase their lifespan and enjoy a few more years of happiness. Who is willing to lose their lifespan?

Of course, people who live forever don't need to care about longevity. For example, the ancestors of the Li family, Xuansheng, Donghuang and others have all learned the "Thirty-Six Swords of the Big Dipper". However, they are all immortals, so naturally they don't care about any hidden dangers. It's just that few disciples in later generations dare to say that they will definitely reach the realm of immortality. Naturally, they have to consider it, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when they are about to die.

Nowadays, the core disciples of the Li family are less able to learn the "Thirty-Six Sword Techniques of the Big Dipper". It seems that only the current head of the family, Li Changgeng, has learned this ancestral method. As for the others, at most Qingwei Zhenren has dabbled in it. , even Li Changge, who defeated all powerful enemies at the Three Religions Conference, did not use the "Thirty-Six Sword Techniques of the Big Dipper", but the "Taiping Qingling Jing". The mystery of this method is that To repay others with their own methods, Li Changge also used whatever methods others used. It was impossible to see Li Changge's true and false qualities. The young elites from Confucianism and Buddhism could not even force out all Li Changge's abilities.

Because of this, just because it is "Beidou Thirty-six Sword Techniques", we cannot suspect that the murderer is from Taiping Tao or the Li family. Moreover, Taiping Tao's presence in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace has always been weak, far less than that of Quanzhen Tao, which is close at hand.

Just knowing that the murderer practiced the "Thirty-six Swordsmanship of the Big Dipper" still cannot fully determine his identity. It still needs to be investigated slowly. We cannot even rule out the possibility that the murderer is an assistant manager. If there is really an assistant manager who lives in the center of the Dao Palace and cannot hide any troubles from him, then no matter how he investigates, it will be difficult to achieve results.

Sun Hewu's own goals were too big, and it was easy to alert others, so in the end this important task fell on Yao Pei and Qi Xuansu.

In the signing room, Sun Hewu handed a roster to Yao Pei and asked, "Su Yi, how sure are you?"

Yao Pei said: "Based on the known information, there is really little confidence in finding this person. Moreover, this person is not a lamb to be slaughtered. Even if I find him, I may not be able to capture him."

Sun Hewu praised: "It's best if you think so. If people lose their sense of awe, they will easily bring disaster upon themselves. Take Qi Jianyuan for example. He knew that things were sure of success, but he lost his life in vain because of his carelessness. You deserve to suffer this disaster, so what I ask of you is to put your own safety first. To put it bluntly, our Wanxiang Dao Palace can barely survive the death of Qi Jianyuan. If something happens to you again, The Earth Master is about to come to question you."

Yao Pei had no expression on his face, but he still nodded.

Sun Hewu continued, "But don't be too timid. The burden of the Wanxiang Dao Palace is on my shoulders. I am the master of this family. I will use extraordinary methods in extraordinary times. I can turn a blind eye to any place you want to go or any rules you violate."

Yao Pei nodded again.

Sun Hewu waved his hand: "Go ahead. Don't rush to take action after you go back. You might as well think about what to do first and then act."

Yao Pei left the signing room.

After leaving the signing room, Yao Pei went to his own residence. The small house is not big and the location is remote. Few people come here on weekdays. However, there is a person standing in front of the house at this time. It is Qi Xuansu.

Yao Pei said directly: "Let's talk about it after entering."

Qi Xuansu nodded, and as Yao Pei entered the study, the two sat across the table from each other.

Yao Pei put the booklet given by Sun Hewu on the table, and first roughly repeated Sun Hewu's speculation, and then said: "The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, which is our disadvantage. But our advantage is that the murderer is likely to not know that we know of his existence. He may think that he has done it perfectly and will relax his vigilance, so we can use our intentions to make plans without intentions." Qi Xuansu expressed his understanding. Yao Pei stretched out his hand and pressed on the cover of this booklet, and continued: "Based on the traces of true qi left on the flying sword, Master Sun deduced that this person is at least a celestial being, and the scope was further narrowed. Master Sun also gave me the list of the Wanxiang Dao Palace. Excluding Master Sun and me, there are a total of 17 celestial beings. Here are their detailed information. Of course, everyone has some unknown life-saving skills, which will not be easily told to others, and it is difficult to register. For example, you have all kinds of magical powers of the "Xuanyu", which will not be reported to the Dao Sect, so this list can only be used as a reference. You can't disbelieve it, but you can't believe it completely." Qi Xuansu raised a question: "The previous dead The female teacher who was killed should not be among the registered heavenly beings. She deliberately concealed her realm and cultivation. What if the murderer who killed and silenced her also deliberately concealed her realm and cultivation like the female teacher? "

"What you said makes sense. The female teacher who was silenced was indeed not among the registered heavenly beings. The murderer cannot be ruled out for deliberately hiding his realm and cultivation. "Yao Pei obviously thought about this problem, "But we don't have any clues now. We can only find a thread first, and slowly unravel it along this thread, and try to sort out various clues. This list is one of the threads between you and me."

"One... what about the other thread?" Qi Xuansu asked immediately.

Yao Pei said: "There are still a few fish that have escaped the net in the lower palace. There must be a leader above them. They are also a line, but this line is too fragile and will break if we are not careful." Qi Xuansu nodded and said: "This makes sense." Yao Pei said: "Those people in the lower palace, don't worry about them for now, let's start with the heavenly people in the upper palace." Qi Xuansu asked: "Aren't you afraid that they will also be killed?" Yao Pei said: "Now the Wanxiang Dao Palace has been isolated from the inside and outside. Without the permission of Master Sun, people inside can't go out and people outside can't come in. After killing and silencing, you can't directly escape from the Wanxiang Dao Palace. You still have to continue to lurk in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, so killing and silencing is an extremely aggressive move. No matter how powerful the Ziguang Society is, it is impossible to infiltrate the Wanxiang Dao Palace into a sieve, so our people still occupy the majority. With so many of us and all on high alert, if he dares to move, he will inevitably leave traces. The more he moves, the more traces he leaves. Considering the blockade between the upper and lower palaces, it is easier for us to shrink further. "Qi Suxuan understood:" You treat these people as bait. If the big fish actively bite the hook, it will save us. " The person who taught did not know this. In his opinion, all of us were covered in the drum. On the surface, the female teaching of Qi Jianyuan's female teaching was dead, which means that there is no murderer. The Vientiane Dao Palace considers how to push the responsibility, not others. Naturally, no one will continue to investigate, and no one will doubt him. The insurance continued to kill. If he was murdering again, wouldn't he clearly tell Dao Gong Qi Jianyuan's death?
