On July 11th, after breakfast, Lin Ye looked around Lin's house.
Originally, he expected to sort out the house yesterday, pack away the belongings, pack what needed to be packed, and sell what needed to be sold.
As a result, Su Guang was so angry that he led a group of people to surround Lin's house, and Nan Yi took action and beat him up in front of all the servants.
The servants did not dare to get involved in the affairs between the masters, so they hid in a hurry. The tidying up of the house was naturally interrupted.
So, we have to continue cleaning up today.
However, Lin Ye always felt that when these servants made eye contact, they seemed to be laughing at him about being beaten by Nan Yi.
Lin Ye's face looked a little gloomy.
He was demoted to Qi County, but he won't be able to leave for a while. He had to wait for the transfer order from the Mu Ling Division before he could rush to Qi County with the transfer order.
This will take about two or three days.
Seeing that he couldn't leave for the time being, Lin Ye's heart moved and he decided to go to Huagui Pavilion.
He had previously placed an order with Huagui Pavilion, asking Huagui Pavilion to investigate Nan Yi's recent intelligence.
Now that a few days have passed, Lin Ye wants to rush over to see the progress.
At the moment, Lin Ye didn't have much resentment toward Su Guang.
When Su Guang left yesterday, he invited two people to stay outside Lin's house temporarily and watch Lin Ye's movements.
But in the evening, when curfew was approaching, someone else came over to greet him, saying that Su Guang had successfully dispelled the calamity by turning to the side door to worship Xingjun to pray for blessings and baptism, and that he no longer had to stare at Lin Ye for the time being.
Lin Ye paid attention and also learned about this matter.
In Lin Ye's opinion, Su Guang paid such a price to eliminate the calamity, which was enough for him to have clear thoughts.
Only for Nan Yi, he just made up a false causal line that Nan Yi was the real culprit of Su Guang. In the end, Nan Yi relied on Zhenqi martial arts to still be a mortal martial artist and would not violate the rules of the capital, so he beat him brutally.
Lin Ye felt itchy with hatred. He felt that he had done nothing wrong.
If Nan Yi didn't want to support Su Guang to regain control of the Finance Department, he wouldn't trick Su Guang because of this.
Therefore, tracing back to the source, Nan Yiben was the real culprit who caused Su Guang to be harmed by him.
As a result, the real murderer Nan Yi came and punched the man, forcing him to cede "Cheng Zhuxiang".
Lin Ye was unhappy and felt that Nan Yi was too excited.
He was involved in officialdom, and he had never seen anyone more aggressive than Nan Yi. He actually ignored his status and used martial arts to force him to submit.
Such behavior is simply insulting to politeness!
Lin Ye left Lin's house with a sullen expression and rushed to Huagui Pavilion.
As a result, just a few steps after Lin Ye left Lin's house, a white-haired old man with a bloody mole on his forehead came towards him from the other end of the long street.
It was already the end of the morning, the sky was shining all over the long street, and a breath of vitality was already filling the air.
However, the area where Lin's house is located is not a place where ordinary people can move around. Although the long street was wide, there were only two people, Lin Ye and Dugu Jian, for a while.
Accompanied by the sound of the morning breeze rustling the leaves on both sides of the long street, Dugu Jian, with a long sword on his waist and his eyes as deep as a ghost, faced Lin Ye step by step.
Lin Ye stopped and stood there, frowning slightly. He glanced at the sword on Dugu Jian's waist, then looked at Dugu Jian, frowning and saying nothing.
It's nothing to wear a long sword on your waist.
The Dali Dynasty did not prohibit martial arts, and many people in the rivers and lakes walked in the city armed with swords.
It was just that Dugu Jian actually had Zhenwu Qi in his body, which made Lin Ye frown a little.
Yesterday, when Nan Yi interrupted Lin Ye's burst of energy, he seized the point where Lin Ye's Qi was changing and used Zhenwu Zhenqi to attack his vital points, forcing Lin Ye to get out of the way.
This made Lin Ye have a deep impression on the nature of Zhenwu Zhenqi, and his spiritual consciousness immediately sensed it, and he knew that Dugu Jian had Zhenwu Zhenqi in his body.
Coupled with the meeting on the long street, Dugu Jian deliberately faced him straightly with an awe-inspiring aura. Lin Ye couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Nan Yi wanted to take action against him?
But if Nan Yi really wanted to kill someone, what would be the use of sending a warrior who was not a monk but an old man in his seventies?
Lin Ye was not good at observation, so he did not see the true nature of Dugu Jian's projection. He only thought that Dugu Jian was an ordinary martial arts old man with great energy.
But no matter how vast the true energy was, it was nothing in Lin Ye's eyes. Although it is not to the point where there is no threat at all, unless it hits the vital point, it is indeed not a threat.
Even if the old man's skill in using Qi is amazing, it is still enough to have the fighting power of cultivating Qi.
Lin Ye murmured in his heart, and instantly ruled out the possibility that Nan Yi wanted to ask Dugu Jian to harm him.
He felt that Nan Yi sent Dugu Jian specially to humiliate him and wanted to tell him:
As long as he didn't dare to use magic, any old martial artist in his 70s or 80s could easily suppress him and beat him, making him lose face.
Thinking like this, Lin Ye felt that Nan Yi was too arrogant.
Nan Yi was able to suppress him yesterday with the help of Zhen Qi martial arts. It was obviously because Nan Yi had the "true understanding of formlessness" and could grasp the flow of Qi, which made it difficult for him to resist.
But right now, just sending out an ordinary martial artist and trying to beat him would be looking down on him too much, Lin Ye.
Lin Ye looked gloomy, looked at Dugu Jian who was gradually approaching, and said coldly: "Who are you, and what do you want? How dare you block my way."
"Wushuang City Dugujian, please sacrifice your sword." Dugujian's eyes were deep, as if he was looking at Lin Ye, but also as if he was looking through Lin Ye to somewhere unknown, and he murmured.
However, even now, Lin Ye still didn't take Dugujian seriously.
Even though Dugu Jian said "please sacrifice your sword", he only thought that Dugu Jian wanted to compete with him based on his sword skills. He felt that he could put him at a disadvantage by relying on the strength of the weapon, so he asked him to do it in broad daylight. It's embarrassing and loses face.
Lin Ye only found it funny.
A mere warrior who can fight to the death with a Qi-nurturing monk actually dares to challenge the Mortal Transformation monk without knowing what is good or bad?
There was a hint of anger in his smile, and he decided to show Dugu Jian his strength.
But at this moment, Dugu Jian unsheathed his sword——
Twenty-three Heaven-Destroying Jedi Swords!
Without the slightest temptation, Dugu Jian's sword is the ultimate move.
At this moment, Nan Yi took the longevity fruit that was conceived in June from the "Eternal Life Gourd".
At this moment, Nan Yi borrowed the "Secret Demon Sacrifice Sword" from Yan Qingyun, and without hesitation slashed out the third sword that cost a life, pouring all the life-replacing power of the Immortality Dao Fruit he had just taken into the "Secret Demon Sacrifice Sword" The Demonic Sacrifice Sword".
At this moment, Nan Yi blessed Dugu Jian with magical powers from a distance, allowing the "Secret Demon Sacrifice Sword" to use the hand of Dugu Jian to slash at Lin Ye.
At this moment, the "Secret Demon Sacrifice Sword" transformed into the Twenty-Three Heaven-Destroying Jedi Swords, and suddenly appeared in Lijing City, completely covering Lin Ye on the long street.
Also at this moment, Dugu Jian, who was originally just an ordinary white-haired old man, suddenly exploded and expanded with aura, reaching the limit of Huang level in an instant.
And at the almost countless moment when the twenty-three swords were added to his body, a look of horror suddenly appeared on Lin Ye's face.
He could not recognize the Twenty-three Heaven-Destroying Jedi Swords, nor could he recognize the essence of the "Secret Demon Sacrifice Sword" packaged as the Twenty-Three Heaven-Destroying Jedi Swords.
Lin Ye almost went crazy for a moment.
Explode!
Damn it!
I saw the damn 18th generation ghost's self-destruction!
Regardless of whether it is the "Secret Demon Sacrifice Sword" or the Twenty-three Heaven-Destroying Jedi Swords, it essentially burns life, burns everything that can be burned, and explodes in an instant, which is almost the same as the principle of self-destruction.
Dugu Jian, who was at best comparable to a Qi-Yang Dacheng monk, was not taken seriously by Lin Ye.
But Nima blew himself up when he came up, what does it mean? !
At the moment when Dugu Sword self-destructed, its power reached the limit of the Yellow Level, making it undisputedly invincible.
Lin Ye, who was almost going crazy, didn't care about the rules of the capital. He just wanted to escape in an instant, as far away as possible, so as to avoid the life-burning blow of Dugu Sword.
But unfortunately, the reaction time left for Lin Ye was only an almost countless moment.
Just when Lin Ye showed a look of horror and was about to go crazy, the Twenty-three Heaven-Destroying Jedi Swords completely enveloped Lin Ye.
In Lin Ye's perception, the air was stagnant and time stopped flowing. He was about to use "Happy Journey" to forcefully escape, but he immediately lost his next thought.
In other words, he always stays in the moment when his thoughts are turning.
From Dugujian's perspective, Sword Twenty-Three stirred up the sword's will, forming a sword energy barrier that swallowed all things, covering Lin Ye.
In the barrier, the sword light is sharp, the sword energy is tumbling, the Holy Spirit Sword Techniques, Sword One and Sword Twenty-Three, appear intertwined at the same time, like intertwined music, intricate and full of beauty.
However, every beat of a note will cause ripples of sword energy. The things covered by the sword energy barrier, such as Lin Ye, were like part of a painting scroll, unknowingly erased by the brush turned into musical notes.
When the song ended, the original content of the scroll had turned into a vast expanse of white, with no trace of Lin Ye's presence anymore.
Then, Sword Twenty-Three dispersed, as if it had never existed.
Time resumed its passage.
The morning wind was gently blowing the leaves, and the stones on the street seemed to be shaking slightly.
The sky illuminated the earth, and the long street remained calm, as if there had never been a war.
But in the eyes of passers-by, or the monks who noticed the movement in other nearby houses, the white-haired old man Dugu Jian suddenly pulled out his sword, pointed it at Lin Ye, and in an instant, he erupted with an aura that reached the limit of Huangjie.
Then, a smile appeared on Dugujian's face, he closed his eyes, and his whole body turned into fly ash, which was blown away by the wind.
As for Lin Ye, when Dugu Jian drew out his sword, his eyes widened with anger. He did not fall to the ground suddenly, nor did he bleed from his orifices. He simply lost his life and breath, and died standing up unknowingly.
But from beginning to end on the long street, not a single bit of power was leaked.
Except for the sudden burst of Huang Jie's ultimate aura on Dugu Jian, which then disappeared in a flash, and the fact that both Lin Ye and Dugu Jian lost their vitality, in the eyes of outsiders, everything on the long street remained as usual, as if nothing had happened.
This feeling is like seeing lightning, but never waiting for thunder. It once made people wonder whether there was really a flash of lightning.
But looking at Lin Ye's body, everyone knew that this was not an illusion.
A mortal monk was walking down a long street when he met a mortal warrior and died.
At this moment, the monks in other nearby houses, even if they had no contact with Lin Ye, felt a sense of unspeakable absurdity.
How could the mortal cultivator die so easily? So unclear?
After a while, Brother Wu Ansi arrived.
A Qianhu personally led the team and immediately blocked off the long street, not daring to damage the scene or even remove Lin Ye's body.
Qianhu frowned, and after some calculation, he decisively sent someone to arrest the demon-slaying disciples of the Sin Division and the Wuxiang disciples of the Mingwen Division.
Lin Ye's death was no small matter.
Even if he was demoted by Emperor Li and a former third-grade official died of assassination, a case would definitely have to be opened and investigated.
However, the general investigation is to find out who killed the deceased.
But this time, the focus of the investigation was on the specific cause of Zha Linye's death. Whether he died by the means of a mortal warrior or a monk.
It's not that they didn't guess at Nan Yi, but that everyone ignored this point intentionally or unintentionally and didn't delve into it further.
no need.
Lin Ye's death needs to be investigated.
This investigation is a necessary process.
But on the surface, Lin Ye died at the hands of Dugu Jian in Wushuang City. Considering that Lin Ye had no foundation in Lijing City, but had angered many aristocratic families, naturally no one would investigate this matter in detail.
For the monks responsible for investigating the case, Lin Ye's death was not important; how Lin Ye died and whether other monks could prevent it later were the key.
They first checked Dugu Jian's heels to confirm whether Dugu Jian was an ordinary martial artist or a monk.
As a result, no such person was found.
The secret of the secret was covered up, cause and effect were confused, and the monks who investigated the case could only get feedback that there was no such person. Including the Wushuang City that Dugu Jian claims to be, it does not exist in the world at all, just like the origin of nonsense.
Brother Wu Ansi reported the matter to the director, who was somewhat distrustful of evil.
It's one thing to laugh it off and ignore Nan Yi after finding out; it's another thing not to find out that it's related to Nan Yi.
So the director of the Wu'an Department personally cast a spell and used the power of the magic weapon to calculate the heel and foot of Dugu Sword.
As a result, he traced the cause and effect, slightly broke through the confusion, and suddenly saw a piece of moonlight.
The director of Wu'an Department's heart sank.
A mere piece of moonlight could not let him know which Yue Zai Dugu Jian was related to.
But he was determined to give up and did not want to investigate further.
The so-called causal confusion is like layer upon layer encryption. When Nan Yi used "Chengzhuxiang" to confuse the cause and effect of Dugu Sword, he deliberately placed the fact that Dugu Sword originated from "Wuyu Si Huan" at the most superficial level.
If someone insists on deciphering the calculation, the first thing to calculate is that Dugujian is related to Yuezai Taoism.
If the Director of the Wu'an Department bites the bullet and continues to calculate, it will be fine to calculate that it is the Yuezai worshiped by his own family. If it is another family's Yuezai, while calculating the specific Yuezai orthodoxy, it is also very likely that he will peek into the Yuezai's laws. And unpredictable things happen.
Therefore, he secretly cursed someone who was too treacherous to be a human being, and finally gave up on tracing Dugu Jian's specific whereabouts and focused on what Dugu Jian's methods were.
Nan Yi used Dugu Jian's hand to slash out the "Secret Demon Sacrifice Sword", which is equivalent to combining the "Secret Demon Sacrifice Sword" with the "Dream Butterfly" technique, and transformed it into the Twenty-three Heaven-Destroying Jedi Sword.
In addition, "Cheng Zhuxiang" secretly covered it up, and it was impossible to find out for a while that the nature of the Dugu sword was actually the "Secret Demon Sacrifice Sword".
However, this technique was not of the Yue Zai Taoism after all. The Wu An Division, the Demon Slaying Division, and the Ming Wen Division joined forces, and by noon, they finally figured out that Lin Ye was actually killed by the monk's sacrifice of life.
In this way, all practitioners will feel at ease.
Since it was a life-saving measure, one life for another, it was only natural to kill Lin Ye by force.
At least, other monks don't have to worry about being easily killed while walking on the road.
