subordinates dare not

The originally deserted Beiqi Sect suddenly became crowded with people.

If you ask why, it's funny to say, the loneliness is due to the Jianghu trial, and the excitement is also due to the Jianghu trial.

The abbot of Zhaoyuan Temple traveled thousands of miles to escort the head of the Kaiyang Sect to Beiqi Sect in Jianzhou before the slightest news leaked out. Some people in the rivers and lakes have already heard the news, and said like a prophet, this winter, I am afraid that they will not be able to escape another big trial. .

Sure enough, Ling Hao Pavilion soon posted a post inviting all the leaders of Jianghu sect to go to Linshan Beiqizong to participate in the trial of the Jianghu Grand Trial, trying to pool their wisdom, turn the clouds to see the moon, catch the murderer, and severely punish the wicked.

"Isn't the head of the Kaiyang faction the real murderer?" Opening the invitation, someone asked suspiciously.

The people beside him also echoed absent-mindedly: "I thought that the evidence in the last big trial was convincing, and the head of the Kaiyang Sect definitely had no chance of standing up?"

"Who knows?" The man waved his hand and replied casually, "Forget it, don't think about it, let's go and see the excitement for ourselves, and all doubts will be solved?"

It is said that nine out of ten chivalrous men who received the invitation thought so, and there was one who was entangled in mundane affairs and really had no time to go.

On the day of the Grand Judgment of the Rivers and Lakes, it was bustling and bustling, and the flow of people rubbing shoulders against the winter wind flowed to the top of Linshan Mountain.

This time the grand trial was in the same place as the previous one. On the wooden beams of the hall, a few octagonal palace lanterns were covered with dust and looked dim, and the scarlet tassels seemed not as bright as before.The "chivalry, righteousness and courage" on the pine wood plaque is still elegant and extraordinary, with a hint of charm, but most of the sunlight is blocked by the roof and windows, so it can only be buried in the shadows.

A red sandalwood square table, nine wooden square tables in two rows, full of seats.

The noisy conversation rang out for a long time. Chao Zixuan, the master of Linghao Pavilion, the host of this grand trial, finally arrived belatedly.

When he just appeared on the stage, the voice of chatting became quieter. After he stretched out his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, everyone was silent soon.

"In the case of the Chiyan Gang extermination a year ago, the leader of the Kaiyang faction became the target of public criticism. However, there were many doubts. The alliance of the three factions did not dare to convict rashly, so they could only temporarily imprison the leader of the Kaiyang faction in Zhaoyuan Temple. But today, this The case is waiting for a turning point." Chao Zixuan paused, and continued, "A few days ago, Wei Chuge, the head of the Tianquan faction, wrote a letter and sent it to Linghao Pavilion publicly. Su Yujing, the young hero of the Red Flame Gang, has long been a puppet of the Demon Cult."

"This matter is related to Qingyu, the head of the Kaiyang faction. Of course I dare not slack off a bit. After receiving the letter from head Wei, I went to the Tianquan faction in person to verify what head Wei said."

After finishing speaking, Chao Zixuan winked at Wei Chuge, who understood, waved his hand, and soon a servant carried a corpse covered with a white cloth.

"I don't know if you still remember that at the Jianghu Grand Trial a year ago, you identified Su Yujing, the young hero of the Chiyan Gang who was the leader of the Kaiyang Sect?" Wei Chuge walked towards the corpse, "After the Jianghu Grand Trial, I Seeing that young hero Su Yujing is alone and has nowhere to go, and the chivalrous men of the Chiyan Gang did happen on the territory of our Beiqi Sect, I think I really have the responsibility to take him in and help him tide over the difficulties. At this point, Wei Chuge's voice suddenly became dignified, "But I don't want to, I finally found Su Yujing, but he died on the night I sent someone to take him to the Tianshu Sect."

Hearing this, the audience was shocked for a moment.

Wei Chuge continued: "The only witness suddenly died in Huangquan. I thought it was too strange, so I immediately went to ask the Lord Huagu of Qiongguang Valley to come out of the mountain, but he didn't want to. The disciple of Tianshu Sect who sent the letter said, The owner of the valley has something to go out, and it will take at least a few months to return."

"So I went to ask a well-known local Wu Zuo to perform an autopsy on me. Wu Zuo told me that Su Yujing committed suicide by biting his tongue. Naturally, I believed his words, but I always felt that things were not that simple. So, I waited for more than six months. , and finally wait until the owner of Huagu returns to the valley, and solve my doubts for me." Wei Chuge lifted a corner of the white cloth, and under the eyes of everyone, a piece of bone was exposed, and some female relatives present gasped, but Wei Chuge's actions stopped there , not going down, so in the end, everyone can only see a forearm turned into a bone.

"Everyone, please look, this bone is not an ordinary bone." Wei Chuge possessed himself, pointed to a certain place in the middle of the bone, and saw a silver iron vertically embedded in it, "I specially invited the owner of the Qiongguang Valley to replace it for me personally." I checked, and the owner of the valley said, this is the puppet technique of the demon sect."

Meng Fuyuan who was seated was startled when he heard the words, he suddenly remembered that when Wuwei Villa went to Qianluan Mountain, he also found bones pierced by wires. Teach the puppet.In the ruins of the battle against demons, there are corpses of demon puppets, which makes sense.

Someone was the first to notice the clue, and asked straight to the point: "But Master Wei, I remember last time, Elder Song Yun said that the bones of the puppet master are all black, but the bones of this corpse are white! "

"Good question." Wei Chuge suddenly took out a letter from his bosom, "It's inconvenient for the owner of Qiongguang Valley to come to participate in the Jianghu trial in person, but she left a letter, and the contents of the letter can serve as a basis for this A young hero to solve the confusion."

Wei Chuge took a few steps back, and said loudly: "The owner of Qiongguang Valley said that there are two kinds of puppet art in the Demon Cult, one is dead puppets, just like the nine killers the night before the three sects sparred, they were also made into puppets a long time ago. The young heroes of the Red Flame Gang. Dead puppets, as the name suggests, when they were made into puppets, these nine young heroes had already died. The dead puppets were not only black in bone, but also hard in skin. What Guzhu said was the same as that of the previous nine killers. Correspond to the corpse."

"One is a dead puppet, and the other is easy to guess, it is a living puppet. The appearance of a living puppet is no different from ordinary people, and its bones are also white. It has thoughts and a heartbeat. Even if the raw puppet is alive, it cannot be controlled by its own thoughts whether it speaks or writes. His every move is controlled by the warlock behind it. Without the manipulation of the warlock, the raw puppet is just a A wooden man who can't move."

Wei Chuge's expression was unavoidably solemn, and he frowned and emphasized loudly, "That is to say, at the Jianghu Grand Trial a year ago, Su Yujing's tearful and argumentative remarks, and the one who heard it sadly, saw it The testimonies that the witnesses shed tears were all completed by the people who manipulated the puppets behind the scenes in order to exonerate themselves. It was not his intention that Su Yujing, who was taken in by the Tianquan faction, committed suicide by biting his tongue. Manipulating the puppet to fake the illusion that Su Yujing committed suicide."

After finishing speaking, he handed the piece of paper to Master Jueming, who was sitting at the top on the right hand side, "On this letter, there is a special seal of the Lord of Qiongguang Valley to prove that what I just said is true. Now I Take it out for everyone to pass on, and all the masters can identify it for themselves."

The young man, who was not calm enough, had already stretched out his head, eagerly hoping that the letter from Master Jueming would be delivered to him soon.

When Hua Qiongsheng's letter reached Meng Fuyuan's hands, he only glanced at it before passing it on to the next one. Wei Chuge said so firmly, and neither Chao Zixuan nor Master Jueming raised any objections, which meant that Su Yujing was a puppet , has been set in stone, there is no doubt about it.

When he received the letter from Bian Qingyu, the news had not yet been confirmed, so Meng Fuyuan didn't think much about it, but now that Su Yujing was a puppet had become a fact, so he had to think about it, even if his thoughts were numb for a while.

The fact that Su Yujing is a puppet overthrows all Meng Fuyuan's previous judgments, and it can even be traced back to the dungeon of Soul and Building. If Su Yujing was already a puppet at that time, he wrote "savior" on Huo Yi's palm, not from His intention, if not from his original intention, then Yu Shanran's behavior is the most suspicious.

In addition, Meng Fuyuan once discussed with Huo Yi the contradictions in Yu Ziran's words, and now there is finally a possible explanation.

Thinking of this, Meng Fuyuan almost subconsciously wanted to discuss a few words with Huo Yi, but when he turned his head, he suddenly remembered that Huo Yi was forcibly ordered by himself to stay in the small bamboo forest to recuperate, so he had to give up.

Hua Qiongsheng's letter paper originally had only two creases, and when it was passed around in the hands of each master, and then passed back to Wei Chu Singer, it was already limp and rotten.

Wei Chuge put it away close to him, and then loudly ordered the disciples of the Tianquan sect. He deliberately turned up the volume so that everyone could hear, "Now, bring the head of the Kaiyang sect and the master of the soul and the building. Interrogate well!"

The head of the Kaiyang sect walked in with his head bowed. The Kaiyang sect had been living for a year, and his face had become much thinner.

And Yu Luran beside him, with an inexplicable smile still on his lips, stepped briskly into the threshold of the hall.

Chao Zixuan frowned deeply when he saw Yu Lairan's foolish appearance. He was too lazy to push and pull the words with Yu Lairan, and directly and sharply reprimanded him: "Be lenient when you confess, and be strict when you resist. People are doing things and the sky is watching. Master Yu, you are right." What Su Yujing has done, why don't you quickly and truthfully recruit him!"

Yu Qiran laughed even more when he heard the words, he bowed to Chao Zixuan leisurely and flamboyantly, "Okay, then respect is worse than obedience."

He straightened his spine, said every word, and said frankly, "I killed people."

"Everyone in the Chiyan Gang died at my hands."
