Li Qingya walked into Fuze Village in the twilight.

The village seems to be uninhabited, and most of the houses have fallen down, but they have not been repaired.Moss covered the cracks in the steps and gave off a damp musty smell.

Along the way, the village was eerily quiet. Because the monk walked lightly, there was not even the sound of footsteps.A mouse jumping out suddenly can scare people out of their bodies.

Through the gloomy and dark alleyway, Li Qingya came to the center of the village.

It has always been a meeting place for villagers.At this time, the open space was densely packed with skeletons, and the dark white human bones looked particularly permeable under the dark blue sky.These skeletons were either sitting or lying down, their shoulders crossed, their empty eye sockets were dark, and they looked coldly at Li Qingya, the uninvited guest who broke into the party...

At this moment, a hand was silently placed on his shoulder, Li Qingya gasped in fright, and almost pulled out Mo Duan to hit the person behind him.

"Senior Brother Yun, don't do anything! It's me!"

The young man in front of him was wearing the uniform of Taiyi Xianzong Discipline Hall, with a straight and pleasant face. He was his deputy when he was serving as the execution order in the Discipline Hall, and he was usually called "Deputy Execution Order".

Recognizing who it was, Li Qingya put down his raised hand, rushed forward and grabbed him by the neck: "Stinky boy! What good does it do you to scare me to death? Tell me, did you take money from someone to murder me?"

The deputy repeatedly begged for mercy: "Brother Yun, spare me! Brother Yun didn't do it on purpose!"

He felt strange, why was Senior Brother Yun suddenly surprised today?

After venting his anger, Li Qingya let go of him, and asked, "Big... Where's Senior Brother Du?"

"In the ancestral hall. I'll take Brother Yun there!"

On the way, Li Qingya looked at the ruins of the village, and frowned: "What happened here?"

The deputy replied: "More than a hundred people in this village were slaughtered about a year and a half ago, and other sects thought it was the work of the Demon Emperor. Because Yan Shengxiao used to belong to Lingxiao Peak. The Taiyi Immortal Sect is also very eccentric. It really wants to put all the shit on the Taiyi Immortal Sect. If Senior Brother Du didn't stop me, I would have beaten them long ago."

Li Qingya ignored his complaints and extracted the key information: "Why do you say it was done by the Demon Emperor? Is there any evidence?"

"The disciples of the Shuangjimen found something belonging to the Yaozu in the victim's home and used it as evidence. The guess that most people agree with at present is that Yan Shengxiao once hid here to avoid the pursuit of the righteous way. Prevent the whereabouts from being leaked and kill people." The deputy said, raising his hand and making a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Have you investigated the scene in detail?"

As the Deputy Execution Order of the Execution Hall, the investigation process should not be taught.

The deputy replied: "The investigation has been completed. Good guy, they were all killed in one blow. The attack was clean without leaving any evidence. The traces in other places have also been erased. The murderer's anti-investigation methods are very clever."

More than a year is enough to turn the corpse into dry bones, and it can also wear away many traces.

And this is a cultivation world, there are tracking spells, and naturally there are anti-tracking spells.

"Tell me everything you know in detail." This is the subordinate he brought under him. Li Qingya doesn't believe that he really doesn't know anything. Even if no clues are found, the case information sorted out is very useful.

The deputy was stunned for a moment, and secretly sighed in his heart: My dear, Senior Brother Yun has also started to investigate the case?He seemed to have returned to the time when he was ordered by Senior Brother Li.

The ancestral hall is located in the back of the middle of the village, bypassing an alley and walking for a while.

When he arrived, the deputy just finished explaining the information he had sorted out.

At the entrance of the ancestral hall, Li Qingya caught a glimpse of the person sitting in the middle. The frosty figure was the only bright color in the gray village, like the moonlight, illuminating the dark night.

He jumped over the high threshold and ran over: "Senior Brother Du!"

Seeing the person at the door, Du Xingzhou was very surprised: "Junior Brother Yun! Why are you here?"

Li Qingya originally wanted to take a step closer, but remembering that he was Yun Quxian now, he stopped three steps away, and came up with the excuse he had thought up earlier: "I came here specially for you!"

"...'

This is not what he thought in advance!What he wanted to say was "passing by after finishing the task by myself".

Rubbish Mantra Dan!Destroy people's reputation!

Fortunately, Du Xingzhou didn't have doubts or misunderstandings because of this sentence, he just replied: "Junior Brother Yun has a heart."

What happened next, Li Qingya said carefully, for fear of leaking and revealing his identity.

"What happened to the case?"

"We've only been there for one day, and we're still investigating. Maybe we'll have results tonight." Du Xingzhou's specialty lies in management and entertainment. He can manage the huge Taiyi Immortal Sect in an orderly manner by himself, but investigating cases is not his job. strengths, so he did not add to the chaos, and waited for the result here.

Their conversations all fell into the ears of the other person next to him. Hearing Li Qingya's inquiry, he said dissatisfiedly: "This case happened in the territory of the Bipolar Gate, which is in charge of the Bipolar Gate. The Taiyi Immortal Sect is only assisting in the investigation. Worry so much."

The one who spoke was a young monk whose cultivation base was in the late Yuanying period.He has a good face, but his pale skin gives him a feminine look.Regardless of whether he spoke or not, he raised his hands to cover his lips and nose, his brows slightly furrowed.

Li Qingya knew him, Jin Huajing, the young master of Shuangji Gate.

They didn't have much friendship, and Jin Huajing's seniority was not higher than him, so Li Qingya skipped him after he came in.

Now that the opponent is confronting each other in the name of the sect, he naturally cannot back down.Li Qingya sarcastically said: "It turns out that the case of the bipolar gatekeeper cannot be asked." These words are so ambiguous that people can't help but feel that he refers to something else.

Jin Huajing stared angrily: "What do you mean?"

Du Xingzhou interrupted them: "Okay, don't argue."

It sounded like he was talking about Li Qingya, but Jin Huajing felt that Du Xingzhou was taking the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

He looked at Du Xingzhou, then at Li Qingya, and decided that they were a nest of snakes and rats, and planned to join hands to suppress him.Not wanting to be angry here, he snorted coldly, got up and walked out.

Li Qingya is happy to hear this, and he can talk to the elder brother alone if the people who have nothing to do with him go away.

There is one thing that he has always cared about——

Du Xingzhou is the palm print of the Taiyi Immortal Sect, and he is in charge of the sect's affairs. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is in charge of everything. He shouldn't and doesn't have to come here to investigate the case in person.So why did he come?Is it for the feast of Shengxiao?

Since he had doubts, he asked directly.With Yun Quxian's identity, he has less scruples,

"Why did Senior Brother Du come here in person? Is it related to the Demon Emperor?"

Du Xingzhou should be straightforward: "Yes."

Li Qingya became anxious: "Why?"

Obviously the two of them didn't meet each other anymore, why did the elder brother still care about Yan Shengxiao?

Du Xingzhou remained silent for a while, and sadly replied, "Because Qingya cares about him."

He wanted to settle the entanglement with Yan Shengxiao before Li Qingya knew about it, and make everything calm, so that Li Qingya would not worry about it, or even get involved in trouble.

Li Qingya was caught off guard by this answer, and he was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing how to express his feelings.He made a lot of conjectures, but he didn't expect that the elder brother would do this for himself.

After a moment of silence, he lowered his eyes and sighed deeply: "If Junior Brother Li knows that he has caused Senior Brother Du to worry so much, I'm afraid he will feel guilty."

He wanted to take care of everything, but in fact he kept worrying the teachers, which was a sin.

"Don't tell him these words." Li Qingya doesn't need to know what he did.

Du Xingzhou knew that Yun Quxian was not a talkative person, so he told him this.

Li Qingya responded in a low voice: "Yes."

The senior brother was afraid that he would be burdened even by caring about him, and this kind of intention made him even more uneasy.The elder brother treated him so well, he didn't know how to repay it.

Soon, the investigation was over.Everyone came to the ancestral hall with the results.

In the small ancestral hall, the disciples of Taiyi Xianzong, Moha Mountain, Qiankun Academy, and Shuangjimen gathered together.But the two in the middle are basically used as background boards.

The disciple in charge of the investigation of Shuangjimen made a conclusion: "As we had previously guessed, this matter was indeed done by the Demon Emperor. The plan now is to quickly find him out, or kill him or imprison him, so as not to cause him to become a victim again. Disaster repair world."

Li Qingya questioned: "Did you find any decisive evidence for making such a judgment?"

The disciple replied: "Isn't the monster object found earlier enough to prove it?"

Hearing what he said, no new evidence has been found.Then Li Qingya was more confident about the next thing, he stood up: "I have two words, I wonder if you would like to hear them?"

"But before I say anything, I have to take a look at the Monster Race item I found."

Jin Huajing nodded slightly, and the people below held up the evidence for Li Qingya to check.

Li Qingya, who has learned a lot of knowledge about the monster race in the demon temple, still has a good understanding of the things of the monster race.

This is a totem bracelet with the blessings of the monster race gods. It is a magic weapon that can be used by mortals without practice. It can transform the owner's physique and make him healthy and long-lived.The bracelet is very special both in shape and breath, it is indeed easy to see that it is produced by the Yaozu, and only Yan Shengxiao can take it out.

However, there are many doubts that Li Qingya can't figure out.

If Yan Shengxiao wanted to kill people to silence her in order to hide her whereabouts, then why would she give such a gift with blessings.Killing someone while wishing them a long life, this is too bad.Although that kid can't be said to be kind, he is definitely not so cruel and inhuman.

He turned around and asked the people present: "Who found this evidence? Where was it found?"

A bipolar sect disciple stood up and answered, "In a certain family's house."

"Where is the house?"

The disciple hesitated for a moment, and replied truthfully, "In the box."

"That's right, it's here that I have doubts." Seeing everyone's suspicious eyes, Li Qingya continued, "If this item was accidentally lost by the Demon Emperor when he killed someone, then it should not be properly stored. If it was lost before As a gift, he has no reason to slaughter the whole village and erase his traces, but he refuses to take this."

The Shuangjimen disciple who was in charge of the investigation retorted: "Either it accidentally dropped it and was picked up by someone; or it was forgotten after killing someone."

Li Qingya asked him back: "Will your things accidentally fall out?"

Cultivators are not ordinary people, so they don't need cloth bags to hold things.Those with a low level of cultivation use the universe bag, those with a high level of cultivation use the universe in their sleeves, and those with a higher level of cultivation have domain space.Either way, it's impossible to "accidentally" drop something.

"Also, it doesn't make sense to forget about it after killing people. This thing is considered to be of high quality among magic tools, and it's not a cheap wholesale product from the small commodity market. It's impossible to turn around and forget it after sending it out."

The questioning disciple was rendered speechless by the argument, so he could only mutter in a low voice: "People from the Taiyi Immortal Sect really are used to protecting evildoers."

Li Qingya: Reasonable, don't just attack me personally.

At this time, he had the upper hand, because it was obviously unwise for a verbal dispute to be diverted from the topic.

So Li Qingya ignored this strange statement, and pursued the victory: "What I said just now is all reasoning, and there is no conclusive evidence. I just said it to provide another direction of thinking, so as not to let preconceived judgments lead to the direction of investigation, and make the real The murderer is free, and the victim is dead without justice."

These words are understood with emotion and moved with reason.

Although everyone was silent, many of them had already been persuaded by Li Qingya, and those who were not persuaded could not find words to refute.

And Du Xingzhou listened quietly from beginning to end, without expressing his opinion.After Li Qingya finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at the young man from the Bipolar Sect who was sitting beside him: "What is Young Sect Master Jin planning?"

Jinhuajing was used to the expensive life, and it was the first time in his life that he set foot in such a remote and desolate place. Not to mention the dilapidated and dilapidated houses, the house was still dark and damp, and every breath of air carried a strong musty smell.

After a day and a night, his patience reached the limit: "I think this village has been investigated almost, and I can't find anything after searching. Take away the necessary evidence and go back to the city to discuss."

Du Xingzhou had no objection.

Everyone was ordered to go separately to pack their things.

Li Qingya walked up to the motionless deputy, stretched out his hand and shook in front of him: "Why are you in a daze?"

The deputy came back to his senses, with reverence on his face: "Senior Brother Yun is really amazing today!"

Li Qingya put his hands together and asked with a smile: "Your brother Yun was not very good before?"

"It's so different!"

In the past, Yun Quxian was good at making quick decisions, acting vigorously, and doing things quickly and beautifully; but today he is eloquent and eloquent, wise and discerning.In his impression, only Senior Brother Li can compare with him.

Li Qingya ridiculed: "You really know how to flatter. You have lost your talent in the Discipline Hall, and it is time to set up a 'flattery association' for you."

The deputy innocently spread his hands: "Tell the truth. Don't you like to hear me say bad things about you?"

Li Qingya was amused: "Okay. Go clean up, let's go."

The deputy left cheerfully, leaving only Li Qingya standing at the door.At this moment, he heard Du Xingzhou's voice: "Qingya, you've got something on you!"

"Where—" Li Qingya looked back subconsciously, before he finished speaking, he realized that he had been cheated.

Du Xingzhou stood behind him, looking at him deeply with eyes stained with ink, as if there was a surge of emotion in his heart.

Li Qingya was so panicked that he swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Brother, I... I can explain."
