"Zhixia has met Master Miki."
"Su Jie has met Master Sanmu."
When the monk appeared, Li Zhixia and Su Shanzhang saluted him at the same time.
"Miki has met Zhixia Zhenren and Su Shanchang."
The monk also returned the salute. After saluting, the monk pointed to the corpse on the ground, shook his head and said:
"I took a closer look just now. The body of this corpse puppet is comparable to that of a Buddhist monk. Among the second-generation disciples of our three families, it is difficult for anyone to be his opponent."
"So, even if Master Zhixia, your new disciple, is a genius among geniuses, but he has only practiced for a few months, and I can't figure out how he killed this corpse puppet."
Master Miki looked at Li Zhixia and said.
Although this monk has a plain appearance, is dark, thin and short, his eyes are extremely bright and shining, like a mirror that can reflect all things.
Li Zhixia was silent for a moment, because Master Miki was telling the truth, and he couldn't think of any possibility that Lao Qi could kill the powerful corpse puppet.
"Old Qi, how did you kill him?"
So Li Zhixia asked Shu Guan.
"Master, I used Qingping's sword-controlling technique to kill that man."
Shu Guan answered honestly.
"Qingping's sword-wielding skills?"
Li Zhixia's eyes narrowed and she asked again:
"How bright is the sword?"
"It seems to be this long, about three feet."
Shu Guan raised his hand and made a gesture.
"Three feet of sword light!"
As for the matter of Sword Transformation Qingping, since they didn't ask, Shu Guan didn't say anything.
Almost at the same time, Li Zhixia, Su Shanchang, and Master Sanmu all exclaimed.
"It turns out that your disciple is practicing swordsmanship! But even if your talent in swordsmanship is astonishing, if you perfect Zhou Tian Gong, there may still be a chance to produce a three-foot sword light, but this disciple of yours has just completed the foundation... "
Su Shanchang pondered for a moment and said, as if he still didn't believe it.
"No, my disciple is not practicing swordsmanship. His path is the Yin-Yang Dao."
Li Zhixia shook her head and said.
"Duanyang Immortal!"
Su Shanchang and Master Miki looked at each other. They both knew what Shan Ji Guan's path selection was all about.
The Seven Immortals Alliance has been established for four thousand years, and all the immortal sects know each other very well. For example, they all know that the Book of Wisdom Eyes in Shanji Guan contains a ray of spiritual thought left by Patriarch Lu Duanyang. , even the heavenly book can contact Immortal Lu Duanyang at any time.
Therefore, Immortal Lu Duanyang, a disciple of Yin Yang Dao, may have known about it for a long time.
The most important thing is that Immortal Lu Duanyang, in addition to being the best in the heaven for some romantic affairs, also dominates the heaven with his fierce swordsmanship.
"...It turns out that he is the successor chosen by Immortal Duanyang."
Master Miki whispered something, as if he understood something.
Although it is still extremely unbelievable to be able to produce a three-foot sword with a sword that has not been established for a long time, but if it is the successor chosen by the Duanyang Patriarch, it can barely be explained.
Chief Su Shan also bowed his hands towards Li Zhixia and said:
"Congratulations to Master Zhixia for gaining such an extraordinary disciple."
Then he sighed again and said:
"The main reason is that what the disciple did was too unbelievable, so I only asked a few more questions, but dropped the seriousness first."
Li Zhixia nodded and said:
"If it wasn't for my disciple who built the foundation that day and night, and I had a vague guess at the time that maybe this matter had something to do with Lu Zu, I would be more surprised than you, Su Shanchang."
Then the two of them walked towards Master Sanmu. When passing the corpses of the academy disciples on the way, Li Zhixia said solemnly:
"Chief Su Shan, please give me your condolences."
The strong and frail old man smiled sadly and said:
"I have taken on thirty-two disciples. As of today, there are still eleven of them alive. I'm used to it..."
Li Zhixia was silent.
Among the three major immortal sects in Jingcheng, the Confucian sect accepted the most people, but also had the most people die.
Because today, in this country and in this territory, their path is the most difficult to follow.
At this time, Sang Li let out an "ah" sound and sat up from the ground.
Just now, he was knocked unconscious by the palm of the ghost-like man. It was more that his spiritual power was shocked, but the injury was not serious.
And the palm that Su Shanchang slapped on his shoulder just now helped him calm down the chaotic spiritual power in his body, and he finally woke up.
"Sixth Brother, are you okay?"
Shu Guan asked quickly.
"It hurts me to death."
Sang Liren hummed, rubbed his butt and stood up.
"Where's that guy just now? Where did he go?"
The Sangli man turned his head and looked around. He saw his master, the slender old man and the thin black monk. Then his expression suddenly changed and he said:
"Why are you all here?"
"who are they?"
Although he had some guesses, Shu Guan still asked.
"One is Su Jie, the mountain chief of Yuelan Academy, and the other is Master Sanmu, the abbot of Guiyuan Zen Temple."
The Sangli man said softly.
At this time, Li Zhixia and Su Jie had already arrived at Master Sanmu's side, and the three of them stood around the body of the ghost-like man who fell on the ground.
"Is this a corpse puppet?"
Su Jie frowned and said something.
"Other than corpse puppets, I can't think of any other method of refining corpses that can maintain the original sanity so completely."
"However, in the end, it was finally confirmed by Master Zhixia. Regarding the corpse puppet matter, the Taoist sect is relatively clear."
Master Miki said in a deep voice.
It was just his words that made Li Zhixia's face flash with a hint of embarrassment.
But Master Miki was right. Their Taoist sect did know more about this kind of corpse puppet. Who knew Lu Zu back then not only slept with him, but also brought his secret method back to the Taoist sect!
Then Li Zhixia took a closer look at the corpse puppet on the ground, especially the fracture on the corpse puppet's neck that was cut open by Shu Guan. Those threads looked like meridians. Soon after, he nodded and said to the other two The person said:
"It is indeed a corpse puppet."
Then Li Zhixia knelt down again and pressed her palm on the corpse puppet's chest, with purple lightning twining around her palm.
The next moment, the corpse puppet's body was broken into pieces. Originally, the three academy disciples couldn't hurt the corpse puppet's body even if they slashed with their sharp swords. But at this time, Li Zhixia lightly pressed her palm and the corpse split open. Puppet's body.
There was still no blood flowing, but a lot of things fell out of the corpse's body. They were things like human internal organs, but they were air-dried.
In addition, a round bead the size of a dove egg, emitting a faint red light, also rolled out of the corpse puppet's body.
Li Zhixia picked up the round bead from the dried internal organs, held it in her palm, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said:
"Looking at the aura of this puppet bead, this corpse puppet should have been refined twenty years ago. It should have been a practitioner of the Fetal Movement Realm during his lifetime."
Then Li Zhixia stood up and looked at each other with the other two people. Their faces gradually became serious, because they all knew what the appearance of a corpse puppet meant.
Li Zhixia turned around and waved to Shuguan and Sang Liren.
"Come here you two."
Shu Guan and Sang Liren walked over quickly.
"How did this corpse puppet appear? Please explain the situation in detail."
The Sangli man glanced at Shu Guan and muttered:
"The disciple didn't know that as soon as this thing appeared, the disciple was knocked unconscious."
"Master, it was like this at that time..."
Shuguan told him how he discovered the corpse.
Because last time Shu Guan and his fifth senior brother An Zichun went to deal with the disappearance of the bride of the shopkeeper Wang of Dahong Rice Shop, he understood something.
That is the same thing. In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be completely different from the eyes of practitioners.
And similarly, what can be seen in one's own eyes is different from that in the eyes of a strong person like the master.
So Shu Guan described what happened at that time, including the words and deeds of the people in Box 6, and how he noticed their abnormality, and then returned to the box to check and found out that the corpse puppet was in the box, in great detail. He told it once, not leaving out all the details that he could recall.
While listening to Shu Guan's story, Master Miki from Guiyuan Temple kept looking at Shu Guan without blinking, with strange bright lights constantly flashing in his eyes.
After Shu Guan finished speaking, the thin black monk closed his eyes. After a while, he opened them again. When he opened them, the light in his eyes had already faded away a lot.
As for Li Zhixia and Su Jie, they had been waiting quietly when Master Sanmu closed his eyes.
"how?"
When Master Sanmu opened his eyes, Su Jie asked quickly.
"I have seen what happened."
Master Miki nodded.
Shu Guan on the side was suddenly startled. In fact, when he was telling the story just now, he noticed that the monk had been staring at him with a strange look in his eyes, which made him feel a little scared.
Now it seems that Master Miki meant that he told what happened, as if he saw the scene with his own eyes?
Is there such a magical spell?
Then, Shu Guan heard Master Sanmu whisper the Buddha's name again.
"That woman is undoubtedly from the maiden sect."
"It's been a thousand years, and they're back for revenge."
Li Zhixia and Su Jieju were both silent for a moment, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely solemn.
Shu Guan and Sang Li stood nearby, neither daring to speak.
After a long time, the headmaster of Yuelan Academy, Su Jie, who looked very frail and strong, smiled casually and said:
"Come on, come on. A thousand years ago, we were able to wipe out the maiden sect. What will happen if they come back a thousand years later?"
Then he walked towards his disciple Yang Jianqing, who was still lying on the ground.
"Master Zhixia, Chief Su Shan, we need to ask our disciples to be more careful during this period until we can find the whereabouts of the girl."
Master Miki said the Buddha's name again.
Li Zhixia nodded, then looked at the puppet bead in her hand and said to Master Miki:
"I have some use for this puppet bead. I wonder if I can take it back to the temple."
"Zhixia Zhenren, you can take it as long as you like. Apart from your Taoist sect, this thing is of little use to us."
Li Zhixia put the puppet beads into her sleeves, and then motioned Shuguan and Sang Liren to leave with him.
"Master Zhixia, please stay."
At this moment, Master Miki suddenly called Li Zhixia from behind.
Li Zhixia looked back and saw Master Miki staring deeply at him, with doubts in his bright eyes.
"Master Zhixia, haven't we seen each other for two years?"
"good."
Li Zhixia nodded in confusion, not understanding that Marshal Miki called him to stop but asked such a question.
Master Miki pondered for a moment, then asked with a smile.
"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I would like to ask Master Zhixia how your current practice is going?"
Li Zhixia suddenly fell silent for a moment, then stared deeply at Master Miki and said two words indifferently.
"very good."
