Five days later.
Zhou Tu came out of the training room. Today was the beginning of the outer sect competition. Of course, he couldn't stay in the Treasure Pavilion any longer.
When they arrived at the first floor of Zhenbao Pavilion, Zhou Tu happened to see Qin Tianxue coming in from outside.
"Junior brother Zhou, are you going to participate in the outer sect competition?" Qin Tianxue asked with a smile.
Zhou Tu nodded and replied with the same smile: "Yes."
"Then come with me!" Qin Tianxue said.
"Okay!" Zhou Tu responded.
So, Qin Tianxue went over to say hello to Deacon Wang, and then left the Treasure Pavilion with Zhou Tu.
Walking on the road, Qin Tianxue glanced at the flying sword Zhou Tu carried on his back, and couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Is this the flying sword the master gave you?"
Zhou Tu nodded. After he raised the sword with the Sword Raising Chapter, the aura of the Mirage Sword was completely integrated with him. There was no trace of the magic weapon. In addition, he didn't even have a scabbard, only a black cloth. The sword body is wrapped, and at first glance, this sword looks like the cheapest ordinary long sword!
"The Rainbow Sword Code can block the aura of the flying sword, which is now called a mirage." Zhou Tu explained immediately.
Upon hearing that it was the Wuhong Sword Code, Qin Tianxue was not surprised immediately. After all, this is the strongest swordsmanship technique in Hengzhou. It has its own special features and is natural.
"Mirage Sword... Master didn't give you a scabbard. I'll get one for you another day. It's inconvenient to use it with it wrapped in cloth like this." Qin Tianxue said immediately.
"Sister Qin, no need. This sword can't see the light now. Even if you give me the scabbard, I can't use it." Zhou Tu immediately replied seriously.
Qin Tianxue was slightly startled. Although he felt a little strange, considering that this might also have something to do with the Wuhong Sword Code, he did not ask in detail, and then got down to business: "Deacon Zheng escaped."
"Escaped?" Zhou Tu looked confused. Elder Miao took action personally, but failed to catch Deacon Zheng?
"Deacon Zheng discovered the situation in advance and escaped from the outer gate of Qingyang Sect before we caught him! Master handled the matter personally this time and sent out his most trusted people. Logically speaking, we should not Someone leaked the news!" Qin Tianxue said with a slight frown, and then asked: "Junior brother Zhou, apart from me and Master, have you told anyone else about this news before?"
"No! But besides me, Ning Yu also knows about this, but she can't leak it..." When Zhou Tu said this, he suddenly thought of something and said quickly: "Ning Yu knows about this, and she and I said I would tell her father, the head of the Ning family, about this!"
"Head of the Ning family? Although Ning Yifei is at odds with his master, it is impossible for him to collude with the demon cultivators!" Qin Tianxue replied with certainty.
"If Ning Yu really passed the news to her father, then there should be no problem. However, she does not have the means to collude with the family from a long distance, so she can only send someone to pass the message!" Zhou Tu said immediately, if Ning Yu can You can collude with the family at any time, and you won't be so passive when you were in the Tian family! Therefore, he suspected that something went wrong when Ning Yu was delivering the news!
Hearing this, Qin Tianxue frowned and said immediately: "Find an opportunity to confirm with Ning Yu. If she really sent someone to send a message to her family, then the problem probably lies with the Ning family!"
Zhou Tu nodded immediately.
"However, although Deacon Zheng was not caught, many of the demon cultivators lurking in the sect were caught. Now they are all taken to the execution hall. After the outer sect competition is over, the master will go there for interrogation in person!" Qin Tianxue continued. .
"Senior Sister Qin, how did those demonic cultivators disguise themselves as disciples without being discovered?" Zhou Tu asked curiously.
"Human skin technique! Blood exchange technique!" Qin Tianxue said with a slightly cold face.
These two spells sound like magic and sorcery! Zhou Tu's expression didn't change much, which was similar to what he had guessed before.
"The human skin technique is to peel off other people's human skin and replace it on your own body, making your appearance exactly the same as others! The blood transfusion technique is to replace other people's blood into your own body, so that your breath becomes exactly the same as others! If these two evil arts are used together, even the Magic Eye spell can't see through it!" Qin Tianxue continued to explain.
Zhou Tu was shocked when he heard that the magical eye spell could not be seen through, and he quickly asked: "Then how can we tell whether the other party is a demon cultivator in disguise?"
"The flaw in the human skin technique is that there is a slender crack on the back, and the flaw in the blood exchange technique is that the original aura of the demon cultivator will be leaked when practicing the technique." Qin Tianxue said.
Zhou Tu nodded. When dealing with acquaintances in the future, he must pay attention to these two points, so as not to be tricked by someone one day without knowing it!
"By the way, there is nothing wrong with Deacon He. Her green shadow lamp was stolen by an outer disciple, and that outer disciple was ordered by Qian Han. Now Qian Han is also imprisoned in the execution hall. He wants to frame you. The matter has been investigated, but no relationship between him and Deacon Zheng has been found yet," Qin Tianxue said.
"Well, Senior Sister Qin, there is something I don't know whether to say or not..." Zhou Tu said hesitantly.
"It doesn't matter, you agreed." Qin Tianxue replied.
"I took over a mission in Dongjiang City. It was an assessment mission for Ning Yan of the Ning family. In that mission, Qian Han's cousin Qian Mo seemed to have something to do with the demon cultivator. Ning Yan also knew about this... ..." Zhou Tu said immediately.
Qin Tianxue's eyes turned cold. Qian Han and Qian Mo were both members of the Qian family. If one of them had something to do with the devil, it might be a coincidence, but if both of them were like this, there was obviously something wrong!
"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Qin Tianxue asked immediately.
"This was said by Demon Cultivator Black Crow Taoist before he died. I couldn't confirm whether it was true or false at that time, and there was no evidence, so..." Zhou Tu replied with an embarrassed expression.
"In the future, whenever there is something involving the devil, no matter whether it is true or false, you must tell me immediately!" Qin Tianxue said seriously.
"I understand!" Zhou Tu nodded immediately.
The two of them walked and talked, and soon arrived at the Dharma Discussion Platform.
The Dharma Discussion Platform is a large square with nine arenas in the center. In normal times, this is a place where disciples compete with each other or deal with personal grudges. Now the outer sect competition is also held here.
The two of them arrived not too early, and the Dharma Discussion Platform was already crowded with people. Of course, the number of disciples who actually came to participate in the outer sect competition was only a small number, and most of the disciples came to watch the fun.
On a high platform in the east, nine deacons stood, seemingly discussing something. Qin Tianxue said something to Zhou Tu and flew towards the high platform, while Zhou Tu stood at the edge of the Dharma Forum and did not go towards the crowd. It’s crowded.
"There are almost five to six thousand people here. Most of the disciples from the outer sect should have come here." Zhou Tu thought to himself. He was not very clear about the total number of disciples from the outer sect. He only knew that there were very few people in the east and west houses, but He has sufficient spiritual energy and is very suitable for cultivation. Generally, the disciples who can live in these two courtyards either have good spiritual roots or have a certain background. Because he is a disciple brought into the sect by Qin Tianxue, he belongs to the latter, so he lives in the west courtyard. , and the number of disciples in the North and South Houses is nearly ten times greater than that in the East and West Houses, but the cultivation environment is much different...
