It was already three o'clock in the night, and Xiao Ding was probably not the only one who couldn't fall asleep while tossing and turning.
Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu also didn't fall asleep. They were both thinking about the same thing.
Xiao Ding suddenly attacked and kissed both of them on the cheek and then disappeared without a trace, leaving the two of them stunned in place.
Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu knew that Xiao Ding was bohemian by nature, and they also knew that the other party liked Xiao Ding, and they knew that the other party would not give up.
But Xiao Ding suddenly kissed two people tonight. What does that mean? Are you kidding me? Or is he hinting that he actually likes both of them?
And just as Tang Qingqing said, to test the depth of the footprints, he could hold a stone in his arms and try it. If one stone was not enough, he would hold two. However, he called the two of them to the mountain together and even brought them together. Did he pick him up intentionally or unintentionally? A smart person like Xiao Ding wouldn't be able to think of this problem.
No matter what, Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu will definitely not be able to sleep tonight.
Xiao Ding asked them the question, can he sleep peacefully?
Of course not.
Xiao Ding had many things on his mind, but he was not thinking about Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu. He was thinking about the Four Shows of Qingcheng and sick Hua Tuo.
He was wondering which of the four shows in Qingcheng was more likely to be the murderer, and which one had the most motive to kill. He had always thought that Zhao Wuji died at the hands of Nangong Yu, but now it seems that this conclusion has been completely overturned. It was obvious that both Zhao Wuji and Yue Wuhua died at the hands of the same person, someone very close to them.
Since Nangong Yu is not the one who killed Zhao Wuji, will he come to Qingcheng Mountain tomorrow?
Jinxiu Villa is very close to Qingcheng Mountain, and there must be frequent visits on weekdays, but Nangong Yu also understands that Xiao Ding must have exposed his identity at the martial arts conference, and if he still dares to come, he must be confident.
Bing Hua Tuo broke into the temple and raided the temple, but did not kill anyone. Was he really just afraid to do it? Could the smelly cow nose he was talking about be a Taoist priest? Who could it be?
Among the Four Shows in Qingcheng, except for Zhao Qingming, the other three may be the murderers. After all, Zhao Wuji is his biological father. Would the Qinglong Society be stupid enough to bribe Zhao Qingming to kill his biological father? What would they have to pay? What price must pay to impress Zhao Qingming?
The position of leader? Among the top four talents in Qingcheng, who will Zhao Wuji cultivate as his successor?
The position of leader! The Shaolin traitor Jingxuan was originally bribed by the Qinglong Society for the sake of becoming the leader. Among the four talents in Qingcheng, who wants to be the leader of the Qingcheng Sect most?
No matter who he is, he must be hiding it very deeply, even if you look at it from the outside, you can't tell.
Xiao Ding sighed secretly, why do so many people like to fight for power?
The Green Dragon Society took advantage of the greed of these people, coupled with coercion and inducement, and finally succeeded in controlling the people they found useful, thereby gradually overthrowing the opposition forces, confusing right and wrong, and stirring up bloodshed in the world.
The reason is very simple, but some people keep falling for it.
In a daze, Xiao Ding suddenly turned over and sat up. He suddenly thought of the most critical question.
On the night when Zhao Wuji was killed, the Four Shows of Qingcheng were not in Shaolin, but in Xifengju at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. Then, all we need to do is find out who was not in Xifengju that night. The murderer is of course the person who was not in Xifengju.
Unexpectedly, such a complicated problem was solved in no time, and Xiao Ding was secretly happy.
As long as the four showmen of Qingcheng are questioned in public and the four of them identify each other who left Xifengju that night, the conclusion can be drawn.
After thinking about the problem clearly, Xiao Ding finally fell asleep.
At noon, the sky was overcast.
Xiao Ding sat under an old locust tree in front of the temple. There was a stone pillar under the tree. From time to time, he looked at the people who came to express condolences. Sitting next to her were Tang Qingqing and Ye Rongqiu. They looked like they hadn't slept well last night and were listless.
Zhou Ziheng and Liu Changfeng were sitting under another tree.
Gradually, more and more martial arts people came to express their condolences, most of whom they did not know.
In the main hall of Shangqing Palace, next to Zhao Wuji's coffin, there was another coffin.
In just a few days, the Qingcheng Sect suffered such a devastating blow, and those who came to express their condolences could not help but express condolences in fear.
Finally, Xiao Ding saw a few familiar faces.
First, Master Liao Fan from the Emei Sect arrived with four disciples. She also saw Xiao Ding and others. After greetings, she went to the temple to worship in front of the spirit.
The head of the Kongtong Sect, Chen Xuanguan, also came with his disciples. The journey was dusty. It was obvious that he came to Qingcheng Mountain immediately after returning to Kongtong from Shaolin. It was inevitable that a few people would greet each other.
The Huashan Sect, Wudang Sect and Beggar Clan all sent people to come. Due to the long distance, Shaolin only sent nearby lay disciples to express their condolences, but Xiao Ding did not know the people who came.
The arrival of two people surprised Xiao Ding.
Xunhe double swords.
Xiao Ding really didn't expect that the Nangong brothers would come to express their condolences. Are they really confident?
Nangong Yu didn't come, why didn't he come?
Nangong He and Nangong Xun slowly walked past Xiao Ding and the others, followed by several servants.
Xiao Ding stared at the two of them with a meaningful smile. Brother Nangong turned a blind eye and walked slowly past.
Everyone was watching them, but the two brothers walked towards the main hall without any fear.
"Stop!" Suddenly someone yelled, and Xiao Ding laughed. From the sound, he knew it was Chen Xuanguan, the head of Kongtong. How could this man be so angry?
The Nangong brothers both stopped and turned back, expressionless.
Chen Xuanguan strode forward, glared at the two of them, and said sternly: "Nangong Yu colluded with the Qinglong Society thieves to bring trouble to the martial arts world, disrupted the martial arts conference, and openly made enemies of the world. You still dare to come to the Qingcheng faction to act wildly, treating the upright martial arts world as Nothing?"
In an instant, there was a lot of discussion among the people around him.
People who knew Brother Nangong all agreed with the head of Kongtong, while people who didn't know Brother Nangong were surprised and said: "So these are the Xunhe Double Swords. You are quite courageous. You dare to come to the Qingcheng Sect at this time."
Nangong He's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Master Chen, I respect you as an elder, and please speak with more respect. As fellow martial arts fellows, why shouldn't my two brothers come to express condolences? Why are you so aggressive?"
Chen Xuanguan said angrily: "How do you deserve to be called fellow martial arts fellows? Master Zhao died at the hands of Nangong Yu, killed his martial arts allies, and was willing to be a lackey of the devil. How can he claim to be an upright sect?"
Nangong Xun sneered: "Master Chen said that my father killed Master Zhao. What evidence is there?"
Chen Xuanguan laughed angrily: "Haha, evidence, okay, I'll show you where the evidence is! Ding Shaoxia, tell me what else he has to say."
Chen Xuanguan pulled his neck and shouted, Xiao Ding couldn't help but smile bitterly, slowly got up and walked to the front of the hall.
He looked at Chen Xuanguan and smiled and said, "I'm really sorry. I just discovered last night that it was not the owner of Nangong Village who killed Master Zhao, but someone else."
Chen Xuanguan opened his mouth wide, stared at Xiao Ding, and murmured: "If it wasn't him, who could it be? No, you said personally that Master Zhao died at the hands of someone very familiar with him?"
Xiao Ding sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, but this person is not the owner of Nangong Villa."
Nangong He said coldly: "My father and Master Zhao are not familiar with each other. In recent years, my father has been refining elixirs at Jinxiu Villa and has not traveled around the world. If you don't believe me, ask your friends from the Qingcheng Sect."
Qingcheng Sixiu's face was pale, obviously due to the exhaustion of the past few days.
Wei Qing wrote: "It is true that the master of Nangong Villa has no contact with his master."
Chen Xuanguan still refused to give up and sneered: "But your father and son ran away quietly at the martial arts conference and took away the iron box of the letter that Sikong Zhaiyue had stolen. Why is that?"
Nangong He said solemnly: "There were a lot of people at that time. My two brothers also suddenly discovered that my father was missing, so they went down the mountain to look for me. To this day, my father has not returned to Jinxiu Villa. The reason why I came to express my condolences to Master Zhao today is actually to find my father. Come."
Nangong Yu disappeared, which was unexpected.
Xiao Ding said with a smile: "Master Hu Ba enlisted people from all over the world to go to Shaolin to seize the book. Master Nangong sent your two brothers to assist Master Hu Ba. If Xian Kunzhong is sensible, how can he be willing to help the tiger?"
Nangong He remained calm and said: "My father has always been on good terms with Mr. Hu Ba. Half a year ago, he asked my two brothers to go to Luoyang to join Mr. Hu Ba because my two brothers have a flying crane sword technique and need his guidance. .”
He paused and continued: "As everyone knows, I, Nangong He, have always been a left-handed swordsman. In this Feihe sword technique, the left and right swords can exert maximum power when combined. But the world doesn't know that Mr. Hu Ba happens to be a left-handed swordsman." Master, this is also a secret he will never reveal."
Xiao Ding and others certainly know the secret of Mr. Hu Ba, but the news about the bet between Mr. Hu Ba and Xuanyuan Buguang has not yet been revealed.
Tang Qingqing sneered: "When Mr. Hu Ba came out of Yipinju with the banknotes and envelopes, you two were present."
Nangong He said with a smile: "My two brothers have requests from Mr. Hu Ba, so of course they will do something for him. As Miss Tang said, the plan given by Mr. Hu Ba that day was six letters. As for the contents of the letters, we But we have no way of knowing, and we have no right to ask.”
Nangong Xun sneered and said, "Have you ever seen my two brothers participating in Mr. Hu Ba's plan?"
Everyone was speechless for a moment.
Nangong He said solemnly: "If my father has indeed violated the ancestral precepts and caused trouble to fellow martial arts practitioners, after investigation, although my two brothers cannot kill their relatives out of justice, they will definitely sever the father-son relationship with him!"
What he said was so upright and so resounding that for a moment, everyone couldn't say anything else.
Wei Qingshu hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said with a smile: "We are from the same martial arts family, and we are guests from afar. I would like to thank Xian Kunzhong for taking the trouble to come to express condolences for my master, please!"
Brother Nangong cupped his fists and said, "Please."
Wei Qingshu then led everyone into the temple to worship.
Tang Qingqing was so angry that she stamped her feet and glared at Xiao Ding: "Why don't you speak?"
Ye Rongqiu, who had been silent until now, also asked: "What do you think?"
Xiao Ding shrugged and said with a smile: "What do you think? People have come to express their condolences to the leader of Qingcheng. What can we do? Do you want to fight them?"
Although Xiao Ding was smiling, his eyes were looking into the distance, his eyes flashing.
Nangong Yu disappeared, haha, interesting.
This little old man must know that after what happened with the Qingcheng faction, I will definitely go to Jinxiu Villa to find him. Now he has lost his car to protect the commander, and then sent his two sons to Qingcheng to send cats and mice. The hypocritical rhetoric draws a clear line between father and son. This makes it inconvenient for martial arts people to go to Jinxiu Villa to raise troops to investigate. It is a good move to escape from the golden cicada. This move is really clever. Even Xiao Ding secretly praised it in his heart.
Although the world is big, where can Nangong Yu hide, and how long can he hide?
