After a while, Zhao Ning changed the topic, "You guys have entered the inner gate, what are your plans for the future."
"I still follow Uncle Chai Jin. Although Uncle Chai Jin has a bad temper, he is actually a man with a sharp mouth and a soft heart." Chen Yuan said, and several others followed suit.
The conversation between you and me was very harmonious, and suddenly I heard the chirping sound of the little demon spirit outside the cave.
Before Zhao Ning could go out, the little demon spirit broke in, his little face full of horror.
"Dead people! Dead people!"
"Sister Fairy, help me! Someone is dead!"
Chapter 127
Everyone was shocked, how could there be a dead person in the inner gate of Qingxiao Sect? One is that the sect rules prohibit killing, and the other is that even if the punishment hall is to execute someone, they will not dispose of the body at will.
Chen Tian hurriedly said, "Where did you see it?"
Chen Yuan: "Yes, take us to see it quickly!"
The little demon spirits nodded, and the bold little demon spirit rushed forward, while the timid little demon spirit pulled the hem of Zhao Ning's skirt and walked forward.
Everyone followed the little demon spirit, and they didn't walk very long at all. When they reached the area adjacent to the Chixiao Peak area and the Lingxiao Peak area, they saw a female corpse lying in the deep grass.
The body was covered with wounds, and the blood was all stained on the clothes.
When the female corpse was turned over again, she saw a face that had become bloated, and the appearance of the female corpse was almost invisible due to the blur of blood and flesh.
"The clothes she is wearing are not those of an inner disciple, I'm afraid they are those of an outer disciple."
"Are you the attendant in the peak?"
Chen Tian said, "Let's hand it over to the Punishment Hall."
As he spoke, he took out the inner disciple order, and the spiritual light shot out from the order. Within a moment, a spiritual light flew from the punishment hall.
The visitor was unfamiliar, so Chen Tian cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother, we found a corpse."
The disciples of the Punishment Hall were also shocked when they saw it.
He took a few steps forward and took a look at this person's appearance. He felt something was wrong. Without saying anything, he used the round light retrospection technique. The round light mirror showed the scene of the female corpse's last few breaths.
In the dark night with dim moonlight, the fairy ran away in panic on the inner mountain peak. For some reason, she did not use the wind control technique. She looked back in horror as she ran away, as if something was chasing her. At this time, her Her body was covered with wounds, until she escaped to her current location, she saw a spiritual palm rushing towards her, hitting her on the back, blood spurting out, and she couldn't stand up in an instant, but the culprit never appeared.
The circular light mirror could only trace back a few breaths of time, so it was impossible to tell where she escaped from, but since she was an outer disciple accompanying her, she must have been registered.
Zhao Ning suggested, "Senior brother, since the corpse's appearance has been identified, why not find out which peak it is registered as an outer disciple."
However, the disciples of the Punishment Hall seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma.
Guo Ying'er touched Zhao Ning's arm and whispered in her ear, "A few months ago, there was an elder in the sect who was acting as a concubine in the name of a nominal disciple. Later, he was exposed by someone who didn't know who. He became so angry that he destroyed everything in the inner sect's general affairs hall. The roster is said to have not been completed to this day.”
Zhao Ning was slightly startled. She didn't know for a moment whether it was because it was unbelievable that there was such a scandal in the sect, or because she felt that the elder's behavior was ridiculous.
"Cough." The disciple of the Punishment Hall coughed slightly.
After all, it was something that would harm the reputation of the sect, so it was better not to make it public.
Guo Ying'er covered her mouth and quickly covered up her gossip with worry.
"What should we do? Even the circular light mirror doesn't show who did it so evilly."
After asking about the reason, Chen Tian naturally answered, "No, this kind of palm technique cannot be performed in the Qi Refining Stage, at least in the Foundation Establishment Stage."
He probably felt that his words seemed to be hinting that a certain uncle was guilty of something, so his voice became weaker afterward, but he was really unhappy in his heart, so he still said everything.
"The Inner Sect Foundation Establishment Realm Master Uncle only has twenty or thirty people in the sect."
"And there are not many people who practice palm skills." Zhao Ning added to his words.
People's lives are at stake. Even if the disciples of the Punishment Hall no longer dare to offend Uncle Ji Zhuji, they still have to deal with this matter. They feel angry about why he is on duty today.
"It's better to take him back to the Punishment Hall first, and let Uncle Gu Master be punished."
As he spoke, he transferred the body into the storage bag and said to everyone, "Is this the body you discovered first?"
Mingluo shook his head, "It's these little demon spirits."
The name of the little demon spirit was called, but the little demon spirits huddled behind Zhao Ning, using the hem of Zhao Ning's skirt to block themselves, but their white and fat little bodies were squeezed together and could not be blocked at all.
"not us."
"We didn't see anything."
"Don't punish us."
It was obvious that the little demon spirits were afraid of the disciples of the Punishment Hall, so Zhao Ning gave each of them a spirit-gathering pill and patted their heads.
The little demon spirits followed them obediently.
The group of people and the demon spirits went to the Punishment Hall.
In the main hall of the Punishment Hall, according to the procedure, everyone has to tell the story of their discovery individually, and the disciples of the Punishment Hall have already brought the body to report to Uncle Gu Xingu.
Zhao Ning and others didn't know much about it, so they quickly left their respective boundaries and stood in the main hall. Behind the desk in front of the hall, Gu Xian turned on the round light mirror again and frowned into the Chinese character "Chuan".
"we do not know."
"We were just passing by."
"You're scaring the demon spirits, woo woo woo."
"Sister Fairy will beat you!"
At this time, the cries of the little demon spirits were heard.
However, the disciple of the Punishment Hall who asked about the little demon spirit looked like he had a headache and led the little demon spirits out of the barrier. As soon as they came out of the barrier, the little demon spirits rolled back behind the hem of Zhao Ning's skirt.
"Sister Fairy, he is cruel to us!"
"How could I hurt you?" The disciples of the Punishment Hall were furious.
The little demon spirits said in unison, "Look, this is not evil."
Knowing that this was the main hall of the Punishment Hall and not easy to argue with, the disciples of the Punishment Hall were too lazy to quarrel with the little demon spirits with low intelligence, so they bowed their hands to Zhao Ning and said, "Sister, these little demon spirits are not cooperating with the inquiry. Observe. They trust you quite a lot, please ask on your behalf."
Zhao Ning nodded and squatted in front of the little demon spirit.
"Do you still want the Spirit Gathering Pill?"
The little demon spirits nodded like chickens sucking rice, saying "I want it, I want it".
"Then tell Sister Fairy how you found the body."
A group of little demon spirits took advantage of the situation, and for the sake of the Spirit Gathering Pill, the one who poured the beans told them how they discovered it.
It turned out that the little demon spirits were playing around in Yunxiao Peak. When they encountered the elders from Yunxiao Peak, they all came with spirit lights. They were so startled that the little demon spirits ran back to Chixiao Peak. This group of little demon spirits never took the right path in the first place and were messing around in the grass. Running away, he tripped over the corpse without paying attention, and then told Zhao Ning and others about the matter.
Speaking of which, the little demon spirit was innocent and frightened.
The disciples of the Punishment Hall scratched their heads and recorded the little demon spirit's statement in the jade slip. It was just a process of questioning. The little demon spirit chattered and made a headache. After getting the result, they drove the little demon spirits away. They each got a spirit-gathering pill from Zhao Ning and ran away happily.
"Senior brother, it seems that we have to start with the foundation-building uncle who practices palm techniques." Chen Tian said to the disciples of the Punishment Hall.
Zhao Ning stood up and looked at the direction in which the little demon spirits were leaving, but her attention was on their words. The uneasiness in her heart eased a little. Uncle Qin still agreed with her statement and called the elders to discuss it overnight.
"There are elders, true disciples, and inner disciples who practice palm techniques in the Foundation Establishment Realm. You cannot investigate them at will."
Suddenly hearing Gu Xie's words, everyone turned around, held Gu Xie's hands behind his back, walked over with a look of concern, and everyone held their hands.
Gu Xing said, "I need to report to Master Biwu. Please wait here."
As he spoke, Yujian turned into a spiritual light and flew towards Yunxiao Peak, but within half a cup of tea, Gu Xie came back alone.
"Master Biwu needs to go to the first seat. We need to handle the matter ourselves. Liu Feng!"
He called out to the disciples of the Punishment Hall, and the disciples quickly reported their names, "There are only three foundation disciples of our sect who practice palm skills. Recently, there are only three disciples in the sect, Jin Yue of Lingxiao Peak, Pei Ti of Yunxiao Peak, and Yue of Chixiao Peak. Continue."
"Send the punishment transmission note and invite the three of you to come to the punishment hall to ask."
After half a stick of incense, only two of the three people came, except Yue Ji of Chixiao Peak.
Zhao Ning and others stood aside and saw that one person looked worried and the other person looked calm.
Unexpectedly, Jin Yue asked in a cold voice why he had called them here. Gu Xie explained the matter simply. Jin Yue laughed as soon as he heard this and said that he was in the peak. The attendants and family members on the peak could all testify. How could he kill a foreigner? Disciple.
Pei Ti's answer was pretty much the same. He had a much better temper than Jin Yue and spoke in an orderly manner.
Gu Xiao frowned, wondering if the problem lies with Yue Ji of Chixiao Peak?
He turned around and asked the disciples of the Punishment Hall to invite him in person, but he didn't want to wait for a long time. The disciples of the Punishment Hall came back slowly without inviting Yue Ji. He came back with a message, "Dantong said that Senior Brother Yue is refining elixirs in seclusion and does not see visitors."
After so many invitations and four invitations, no one was seen. Everyone in the Punishment Hall vaguely felt that Yue Ji was inseparable. After all, Chixiao Peak was not far from the place where the accident happened.
Gu Xie sheepishly handed over to the two foundation-building disciples and said, "Excuse me, my two junior brothers, for making a trip."
Jin Yue glared at him and walked away.
Pei Ti smiled and said, "Even if the Palace of Punishment invites you, there is no reason not to cooperate. Say goodbye."
Zhao Ning glanced at him. This senior brother was just like his name. He was quite handsome and his smile was even more graceful.
After the two left, Gu Xiao said to Zhao Ning, "Master Nephew Shen, since you are from Chixiao Peak, why don't you come with me to visit this uncle?"
Zhao Ning nodded, "That's how it should be."
Gu Xie asked everyone else to go back, and he and Zhao Ning came to Chixiao Peak together.
Yue Ji's cave is on the seventh peak of Chixiao Peak. There are only four alchemy boys on the peak. At this moment, they are all gathered outside the alchemy room and talking quietly. Seeing someone flying with a sword, the alchemy boy hurriedly got up, with more or less expressions on his face. He became a little nervous, then lowered his head.
Gu Xie asked, "Where is your peak master?"
One of the alchemy boys replied, and it was the same sentence brought back by the disciples of the Punishment Hall. It was simply that the peak master was refining alchemy and did not dare to disturb him.
Gu Xian frowned, Zhao Ning looked at the alchemy room behind them, and moved his steps slightly as if he had the intention of testing the alchemy room.
Immediately, an alchemy boy stopped him, "Senior Sister Shen, you...you know, alchemy cannot be disturbed."
The boy was only eleven or twelve years old, quite immature. He raised his head and looked at Zhao Ning with a nervous look on his face. Zhao Ning even saw a hint of request in his eyes.
ask?
The older Dantong quickly pulled the younger Dantong aside and said as if he were a young adult, "Senior Sister Shen is offended. It was Uncle Yue who told us not to let anyone in. He recently received a rare gift from Grandmaster Huo Rong. I am studying the elixir with all my heart."
