Master Miki's words suddenly silenced the study room.
Will the Master Kongchen from five hundred years ago come back?
If a cultivator can live for more than five hundred years, he must be in the stage of returning to the void, which is the level of land gods.
Of course, in Buddhism this state is called Arhat.
However, whether it is Shan Ji Guan or Yue Lan Academy, there are actually strong people of this realm, so Li Zhixia and Su Jie quickly put away their shocked expressions.
"Has Master Kongchen from your temple arrived now?"
Then Li Zhixia raised her eyebrows and asked.
"I have burned the secret incense and reported the matter of the 'swallow' to Master Kongchen. Master Kongchen has also agreed to come back, but he will not be able to return to Guiyuan Temple within two days tomorrow."
Master Miki said:
"In addition, according to Patriarch Kongchen, in order to use the soul-summoning technique, the body of the deceased, especially the eyebrow soul platform, must not be destroyed, otherwise it will be difficult to summon the soul of the deceased back."
"So in the next few days, we must send people to guard Tan Yankai's body day and night, just in case."
Li Zhixia thought for a while and said:
"Then it's better for each of our three families to send a disciple to guard here."
"That's very good."
Master Sanmu immediately agreed, and Su Jie naturally had no objection.
In the end, it was decided that Mu Yao would be the leader of the Shanxi Temple, Longshu be the leader of Guiyuan Temple, and Yang Jianqing be the leader of Yuelan Academy. The three of them stayed in the Tan Mansion, guarding Tan Yankai's body until the arrival of Patriarch Kongchen.
"Although Patriarch Kongchen came to help this time, we will know the whole process of how the 'Swallow' killed Tan Yankai, but if the 'Swallow' had been hiding his true appearance at that time, then we may still not be able to discover that The true identity of 'Swallow'."
In the end, Master Miki said the same thing.
"But it's better than us having no clue now!"
Su Jie smiled and said:
"Perhaps when we see that 'Swallow', we can recognize him directly!"
Soon after, Shu Guan and his master Li Zhixia left Tan Yankai's mansion together. However, Shu Guan did not return to Shanjiguan directly. Instead, after talking to his master, he went to Jiangyang alone.
Because Senior Brother Zhai's family now lives in Jiangyang District, and Shu Guan is planning to send Senior Brother Zhai's belongings back first.
…
Night gradually enveloped Tan Mansion.
The guests who came to express condolences during the day also gradually dispersed. In the hall that was temporarily turned into a mourning hall, only some of Tan Yankai's relatives were left. After twelve o'clock, these relatives also left.
However, Young Master Tan Tan Mingcheng is still there, and there are also two nephews of Tan Yankai's family, and they all have to keep vigil at night.
In the study on the third floor directly above the hall, there are also three people who will be sleepless all night.
They are naturally the three disciples of the Seven Immortals Alliance, Mu Yao, Yang Jianqing and Long Shu.
The three of them have been sitting in this study all day.
During this period, people also came into the study, including the detective who came to investigate the scene, and the servants of the mansion who came to collect and take away things.
Of course, these ordinary people cannot detect that Mu Yao and the others are in the room. Whether they use the invisibility mansion or other methods, they can easily avoid the sight of those mortals.
It's just that it's a bit boring to be stuck in a room like this all day long.
Mu Yao and Yang Jianqing were fine. Mu Yao almost sat on the ground and meditated all day long. He originally cultivated the path of wood, and his mind was naturally calm and quiet. In the past, people in Sangli once joked that they were two If senior brother goes to the forest, he can be a tree for a month.
At that time, Mu Yao thought about it and said that it would be no problem for him to be a tree for three months.
So today's scene is naturally trivial to him.
Perhaps this is why Li Zhixia asked him to stay here instead of Shu Guan.
As for Yang Jianqing, there is no problem.
As an academy disciple, letting him stay in a study room with a rich collection of books for a day is like throwing a lecher into a pile of women and imprisoning him in solitary confinement. .
So Yang Jianqing spent the whole day sitting on the leather armchair behind the desk and reading a book happily.
According to him, the quality of the books in this study is probably unparalleled in the entire Jingcheng.
After all, Tan Yankai was a scholar at the age of eighteen and an outstanding person at the age of twenty-two. If he had not gone south to join the New Army, but concentrated on learning in Jingcheng, I am afraid he would have become a great man.
So the only person who was really bored in the study today was Nagarjuna.
It had only been ten minutes since his master, Master Miki, left. Nagarjuna began to circle around the study. This ugly but energetic little monk walked around from morning till night without stopping. However, almost every inch of the entire study room has his footprints.
This is really not an exaggeration. Except for the place where Mu Yao meditates and the chair where Yang Jianqing sits, Nagarjuna walked over to all places in the study, including the walls and roof and the top of every bookshelf.
This is indeed a young monk who takes an unusual path.
At a certain moment, looking at Nagarjuna who was walking and sighing next to him, Yang Jianqing put down the book helplessly and asked with a dumb smile:
"Where is your senior brother Huiming? It would be more appropriate for your senior brother to do this kind of thing."
Yang Jianqing and Long Shu had been together for more than a month during last year's joint search team. The two were very familiar with each other, so they could naturally talk more casually.
Then Nagarjuna sighed in annoyance and said:
"Senior Brother Huiming went to Xiangcheng a few days ago and just came back last night, so the master brought me here today."
"Going to Xiangcheng? Why is Junior Brother Huiming going to Xiangcheng?"
Yang Jianqing asked this. He didn't have any special curiosity, he just asked casually.
And Nagarjuna also answered casually:
"I don't know very well. It seems that the master asked the senior brother to go to Xiangcheng to bring someone back. I heard he is the owner of a grocery store."
The three of them basically stayed in this study in silence. Occasionally, the three of them would exchange a few words.
For example, Mu Yao specifically asked Yang Jianqing how the situation with the girl in their academy was going.
Yang Jianqing said with a wry smile, naturally after the failure to round up the girl in Yinle City last time, the girl became even crazier. During this period, two more disciples fell into the hands of the girl, and that girl The girl seems to be provoking their academy, deliberately leaving some clues every time she attacks. The problem is that so far, they still can't really find the girl.
"Now there is almost no one left in our Yuelan Academy. Everyone has been dispatched to search for that girl all over the city."
The night is getting darker.
It was past twelve o'clock in the evening, and Longjun, who had been working hard all day, finally calmed down and sat on a chair at the door of the study.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps and someone talking to themselves in the corridor outside the study.
"It's true, madam. It's so late and you still want me to come to the study to look for the master's notes during his lifetime. Can't you find it again tomorrow morning?"
There seemed to be a servant, mumbling all the way to the study door, then opened the door and walked in.
The moment he pushed the door open and entered, the three figures in the study all disappeared.
The servant who walked in was wearing a long gown and a hat with his head lowered. In addition, the lights were not turned on in the study, so even Nagarjuna, who was sitting by the door at this time, could not see the servant clearly. appearance.
After the servant came in, he turned around and closed the door to the study, and then walked towards the desk.
At this time, Nagarjuna was sitting next to the door, Yang Jianqing was sitting behind the desk, and Mu Yao was sitting cross-legged on the ground next to a bookshelf between them.
In two or three steps, the servant had already walked to Mu Yao's side.
At this time, Mu Yao suddenly felt something was wrong.
What was wrong was that the servant did not turn on the light after entering the study.
The study is very dark. To a practitioner, this darkness is nothing, but to an ordinary person, it is absolutely impossible to see.
Therefore, the most important thing an ordinary person should do after entering the study room is to turn on the light.
However, the servant did not turn on the light, but closed the door and walked over directly.
This is not right!
A warning sign flashed in Mu Yao's heart.
Unfortunately, his vigilance came a little late.
The servant walked past him with his head lowered, seemingly not seeing Mu Yao sitting on the ground next to him.
At this time, Mu Yao had an invisibility charm attached to his body, so ordinary people could not see him.
Just when the vigilance in Mu Yao's heart just arose, something unexpected happened.
But when the servant was about to pass by him, he suddenly raised a foot and kicked Mu Yao in the chest with great accuracy.
At the same time, a terrifying aura and spiritual pressure rose from the "servant"'s body.
A surge of extremely majestic spiritual power poured into Mu Yao's body, followed his meridians, and directly attacked Mu Yao's spiritual platform.
Mu Yao couldn't even react or perform any Taoist skills. He fell to the ground with a plop and fainted.
After the "servant" kicked Mu Yao unconscious, he swayed and appeared next to the desk like a ghost. At this time, Yang Jianqing was shocked and had just half-drawn the sword from his waist.
The "servant" pressed his palm on Yang Jianqing's sword-holding palm.
With a clang, the half-unsheathed sword was forced back into the scabbard.
At the same time, the "servant" slapped Yang Jianqing on the forehead.
So Yang Jianqing, like Mu Yao, immediately passed out and his body slid softly from the leather seat to the bottom of the table.
Then there was a roar, and Nagarjuna, who was sitting at the door, finally reacted, appeared, and volleyed towards this mysterious "servant" like a ferocious tiger.
A few meters away and arriving in an instant.
Nagarjuna jumped on top of the "servant's" head, put his fists together, and hit the "servant's" head hard.
The "servant" still didn't raise his head and casually punched upwards with the same punch.
His fist came last, and when Longjun's fist was still half a foot away from his head, it hit Longjun's chest first.
A ball of golden light suddenly rose from Longjun's body.
Then it was possible that in the past five hundred years, the young monk who was the most talented among the disciples of Guiyuan Temple and was born with the body of a small diamond suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, he did not fall into unconsciousness like Mu Yao and Yang Jianqing. He continued to hit the "servant" on the head with his fist and hammer with both hands.
At this time, the "servant"'s fist had not yet left Nagarjuna's chest, and a purple-black light suddenly flashed above the fist wheel.
Longjun's body suddenly became stiff.
At this time, his fist hammer was still three inches away from the "servant's" head, so the fist hammer did not fall on the "servant's" head after all.
Then Nagarjuna fell straight from the air and fell onto the stiff walnut desk. His whole body twitched violently several times, and then he finally fainted.
Those in the study today, excluding Shu Guan, are all the most powerful among the second-generation disciples of the Seven Immortals Alliance in Jingcheng. The three of them together are enough to fight against the average Fetal Movement Realm expert.
Then at this moment, within a few seconds, they were all knocked down by the intruding servants, and they were almost unable to even fight back.
"Servant" slowly retracted his fist.
He lowered his head and looked at Nagarjuna who was unconscious on the table, and then looked at his fist.
It seemed that the first punch just now failed to knock out the young monk, which surprised him.
The "Servant" is indeed very powerful, but it is not as easy as he showed just now to knock down these three Seven Immortal Alliance disciples in such a short time.
At least he used a little strategy.
For example, he disguised himself as a "servant" to enter the room instead of directly attacking.
Another example is that the first person he dealt with was Mu Yao, because he knew that among the three, the disciple of Shan Si Guan was the strongest, so he used the most sudden blow on Mu Yao.
As for this little monk, he originally thought he was the weakest among the three.
But in the end, the young monk's strength was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Of course, it was just a little accident.
The "servant" stood there in silence for a few seconds.
Then the "servant" took off the gown that was stained with some Nagarjuna's blood, revealing the black outfit underneath the gown.
He took out another black cloth and wiped it on his face.
His face was also splashed with a few drops of Nagarjuna's blood, and then the "servant" directly covered his face with a black cloth.
He stepped out of the study, closed the door to the study, walked slowly towards the stairs, walked down the stairs, and walked to the lobby on the first floor.
There were three people in the hall at this time. Naturally, they were Tan Mingcheng, the eldest son who was keeping watch, and two other nephews of the Tan family.
Hearing the footsteps on the stairs, the three of them were about to look up, but the next moment, all three of them softened and fell unconscious on the ground at the same time.
The man in black walked slowly past them and came to the coffin containing Tan Yankai's body.
The man in black stared at the coffin in front of him with complicated eyes. Of course, there was no hesitation in these complicated emotions.
So he stretched out a hand and placed it on the coffin.
The next moment, the coffin exploded into pieces.
Among the sawdust all over the sky, there were also countless broken pieces of meat and broken bones.
The coffin, and Tan Yankai's body in the coffin, were completely shattered.
But the man in black's eyes showed no sign of relaxation or joy.
Because at the moment when he started to destroy the coffin, he suddenly turned around as if he had realized something.
Outside the hall door, a dark and thin monk with a plain face was looking at him quietly.
There was endless regret, sadness and pain in the monk's eyes.
The man in black understood the monk's eyes, but there didn't seem to be much excitement in the man's eyes. He just asked in confusion.
"Why didn't you stop me from destroying the body?"
"It's not necessary, I already know who you are."
The monk replied.
"Li Yan, take off that piece of cloth!"
