This is a paper swallow that has turned yellow.
It can be seen that it was folded many years ago, and then was sandwiched in the Taoist secret book "Thunder and Thunder".
Shu Guan stared at the paper swallow in his hand, his breathing gradually became rapid, and his body began to tremble slightly.
There are actually many ways to fold paper swallows.
For example, Shu Guan himself knows at least three ways to fold paper swallows.
The paper swallows folded with different folding methods will let you know that it is a swallow, but the shapes of the swallows are very different.
Shu Guan didn't know how to fold the paper swallow in his hand, but he was very familiar with the shape of the paper swallow in his hand.
Because this paper swallow is exactly the same as the "Swallow" paper swallow.
As for "Swallow", it is naturally the mysterious "Swallow".
The three times "Swallow" made a move, the paper swallows placed on the corpse were all folded in the same way, which was the folding method of the paper swallow in Shu Guan's hand at this time.
The question is, why is there a paper swallow that is the same as the "swallow" in the secret book of Zhenjingguan of Shanjiguan?
For a moment, Shu Guan's heart beat violently.
He originally opened this secret book to calm his mind, but the end result was just the opposite, making it even more chaotic.
...Logically speaking, this still cannot prove anything, the possibility of coincidence still exists...
Shuguan forced himself to tell himself this in his mind.
Then he opened the paper swallow with slightly trembling hands.
Because there are a lot of writings on the paper swallows, but you can't understand what is written until you open them.
Shuguan didn't know how to fold the paper swallow, but he had no problem taking it apart.
Soon he opened the paper swallow and quickly understood what those handwritings were.
This old, creased piece of paper contains an article of cultivation experience. The cultivation experience of this thunderous Taoist art, including some tips on luck in performing exercises and the method of attracting thunder from the sky, are all written in great detail. .
At the end of the experience, there is a line of words written like dragons and phoenixes dancing.
"Today I finally mastered the first earthly immortal technique in the temple. My master praised me as a genius, but that's not a lie."
Below is a similarly graceful signature: Li Yan.
Below is the year, month and day.
Shu Guan quickly read all the words on the page.
The handwriting was very familiar to him.
Shu Guan is almost certain who wrote this practice experience.
...No, not him! …
...Although the handwriting is the same, the meaning in the handwriting is different. The words "he" wrote are square and serious, and he is naked. There is no such high-spirited writing style on this paper...
...And the last sentence, at first glance, this Li Yan is a person with an unruly temperament, and there is no similarity with "him"...
Shuguan told himself these unreasonable things over and over again in his mind.
Then he looked again at the date written on the last page.
"April 24, the 16th year of Qichong."
Qichong is the imperial title of the fourth to last emperor of the Great China Dynasty.
Shu Guan, who was no stranger to the history of the Great China Dynasty, quickly calculated the time and determined that this practice experience should have been written one hundred and twelve years ago.
One hundred and twelve years ago, a person named Li Yan mastered the Thunderous Taoist Technique, and then wrote an article about his experience. He folded it into a paper swallow, and then sandwiched it with the Thunderous Taoist Technique. In the diary.
Just from this behavior, it can be seen that Li Yan is a person who acts casually and does not stick to trivial matters.
This is nothing like "his" temperament.
Who is this Li Yan?
"In the past two hundred years, the only person who has mastered this thunderous Taoist technique is your master."
Shu Guan's mind flashed back to what Master Qi said casually when he took out the Thunderbolt Secret Book from Daozang Pavilion the day before yesterday.
...So, who is Li Yan?
"...Your master, he loved to laugh a lot when he was young, and he was also very impulsive in doing things..."
Shu Guan remembered what Uncle Qi had said a long time ago, and then his heart began to beat wildly again.
The next moment, Shu Guan pinched the paper swallow and rushed out of half the building.
He ran to the top of the cliff, rushed to the Daozang Pavilion, rushed into the room where Master Qi lived, shook Master Qi awake from his deep sleep, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Who is Li Yan?"
"Li Yan? Li Yan is your master. Zhixia is his Taoist name after he became the master of the temple. His original name is Li Yan."
Uncle Qi, who was sleepy-eyed, said this as he was lost in the lake.
Li Yan is the master!
At this moment, Shu Guan felt like he was struck by five thunders!
...No, being called Li Yan does not mean that the master is "Swallow"...
...There is still a possibility of coincidence...
He kept telling himself this in his mind.
But Shu Guan actually knew very well that the possibility of such a coincidence was very, very low.
He now wants to see the master immediately and ask him if he is a "Swallow".
But the master still hasn’t come back to his good deeds?
Where did the master go?
...If he is really "Swallow"...
Shu Guan guessed the answer almost immediately in his mind.
Before equating Li Zhixia with "Swallow", Shu Guan could not guess where Li Zhixia was now.
But if Li Zhixia is equated with "Swallow", then Li Zhixia's whereabouts at this moment are already obvious.
The master naturally went to eliminate the traces left behind when he acted under the identity of "Swallow".
Just like the owner of Jiuliang Grocery Store who returned to his hometown after taking a fortune.
... Patriarch Kongchen will be here within the next two days. He will use his magical powers to recall Tan Yankai's soul. By then, we will know who the "Swallow" is...
...However, in order to use the soul-summoning technique, the place where Tan Yankai found the body, especially the spiritual platform, must not be destroyed...
What Master Miki said flashed through Shu Guan's mind.
"Old Qi, why do you suddenly ask this?"
At this time, Master Qi asked doubtfully.
However, before he finished speaking, Shu Guan had already turned around and rushed out of the room.
…
"Li Yan, take off that piece of cloth!"
Master Miki walked slowly into the hall, his expression was solemn and sad.
He seemed to already know the identity of the man in black in the hall, but there was no joy in his tone.
When Master Miki shouted the word "Li Yan", the black scarf on the face of the man in black seemed to shake slightly, and at the same time his body also moved slightly.
For a moment, the man in black seemed to disappear, and then reappeared.
At the same time, there seemed to be wisps of golden light on the roof and the ground of this hall, fleeting.
"Dragnet?"
The man in black stared at the fleeting light, then raised his head to look at Master Miki, and asked with a strange look in his eyes.
"Yes, it is the treasure of our Guiyuan Temple, the dragnet."
Master Miki nodded calmly and said:
"Now that I know your identity, how can I not be prepared at all?"
Then the man in black was silent for a moment, and then slowly took off the black scarf on his face.
He knew very well that since Guiyuan Temple had even taken out the dragnet, which is the first of the three most powerful magic weapons to suppress the temple, he would indeed be unable to leave this hall today.
The Heavenly Net and the Earthly Net are actually two magic weapons, the "Tianluo" and the "Earthly Net". Any single one taken out is a high-grade magic weapon for human beings. And when the two magic weapons are combined, even a practitioner in the Nascent Soul Realm can be Trapped and unable to escape.
The black scarf was slowly taken off from the face of the man in black, revealing the face of a square, middle-aged man with deep features, especially the pair of eyebrows above the eyes, which were straight, black and thick, as if It's like drawing straight up with a brush.
And the moment he took off the black scarf on his face, another sigh of regret sounded outside the hall.
"Master Zhixia, I didn't expect that you are really a 'Swallow'."
Following this sigh, Su Jie, the mountain chief of Yuelan Academy, also walked in from outside the hall.
The expression of this slender old man looking at "Swallow" was almost the same as Master Miki.
Accident, heartbreak, regret, regret, sadness, or some combination of it.
"When I left here yesterday, Master Miki told me that you were Yanzi. I didn't believe it at all. Even if Master Miki presented the evidence, I still couldn't believe it."
"I didn't expect... I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."
Su Jie said unexpectedly three times in a row, and then let out a long sigh.
Following Su Jie's sigh, many figures appeared outside the hall, including a group of scholars in wide robes and swords, and a group of monks with bald heads and robes.
These scholars and monks surrounded the entire villa.
Master Sanmu and Su Jie were already on either side of Li Zhixia, one on the left and one on the right, with Li Zhixia vaguely sandwiched in the middle.
Li Zhixia looked at Master Miki and then at Su Jie, with a smile on her face.
Ever since Master Miki appeared and called out his name that no one had called for many years, Li Zhixia only raised his eyebrows, his face remained calm.
At this moment, he even laughed.
Li Zhixia is a person who rarely smiles, especially the smile on his face at this moment, which looks so evil and makes people feel creepy.
"Are all the people from the temple and academy here?"
Li Zhixia smiled softly, her voice was erratic, and she asked with a hint of sarcasm.
"Yes, we are all here. Naturally, we dare not treat you lightly towards Master Zhixia."
Looking at Li Zhixia with an unusually evil smile, Master Sanmu and Su Jie quickly exchanged glances, and their expressions became extremely solemn.
The person standing in front of them was undoubtedly Li Zhixia, but it was a Li Zhixia they had never seen before.
】
"Can I ask, how did you find out that I was a 'Swallow'?"
Then Li Zhixia looked at Master Miki and asked again:
A question, and there was really some curiosity on his face.
Master Miki was silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"Actually, more than a year ago, I had noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with you, Master Zhixia."
"That time was at the Lanxin Theater, that is, the time that girl appeared. Before that day, I had not seen you, Master Zhixia, for two years."
"I cultivate clairvoyance, and I can always see more things than ordinary practitioners."
"Oh, what do you see in me?"
"I don't know what it is. Under my clairvoyance, I just saw something like black smoke, attached to your soul, Master Zhixia, and constantly drilling into it. That's why I asked Zhixia Zhenren, is there something wrong with your practice?"
Master Miki's answer made the evil smile on Li Zhixia's face change slightly.
"It's just that Master Zhixia said that there was no problem at that time, and I didn't doubt anything anymore, because Master Zhixia, you looked at it, and there was indeed nothing wrong with it."
"Until that 'Swallow' showed up."
"Master Zhixia, do you still remember that after the 'Swallow' took action for the first time, you handed the blood-stained paper swallow to the old man and asked him to use his clairvoyance to check the identity of the 'Swallow'?"
Li Zhixia tilted her head, and then nodded.
His action seemed a little frivolous and a little arrogant.
In short, Li Zhixia's appearance at this time has not changed, but her whole expression and temperament have completely changed.
"From that time on, I started to have some doubts about you, Master Zhixia."
"I don't think your clairvoyance can see me. Even you Buddhist Arhats can't see me with their clairvoyance."
Li Zhixia frowned and said, her tone extremely confident.
"Yes, I didn't see you, but I saw that kind of 'black' again. Before that, I had only seen this kind of 'black' in you, Master Zhixia."
"So you think I am 'Swallow'?"
"No matter how bold I am, I would never dare to infer that you, Master Zhixia, are the 'Swallows' just because of this. It's just because I had some doubts, so although I handed over the investigation of the 'Swallows' to Shan Jiguan, I secretly I have been paying attention to this matter, and at the same time, I am also secretly paying attention to you, Master Zhixia."
"Are you using clairvoyance? If you keep monitoring me with clairvoyance, you won't be able to hide it from me."
"Of course not. Ever since 'Swallow' took action for the second time, I have been guarding under the Turtle Mountain."
"You want to follow me directly? I'm afraid you can't do it either! Maybe you would have had the chance to follow me two years ago, but now, it's impossible for you Miki to follow me without me knowing anything about it."
"It's true that I can't track Zhixia Zhenren, but I can track your disciples."
"That day, I followed your seventh disciple Shu Guan to Yinle City and saw him walking into the grocery store. I actually didn't know what he was going to do. After he left, I was going to I left, but what I didn’t expect was that at this time, Master Zhixia, you would appear outside that grocery store.”
"This is really an interesting thing. The master and the apprentice appeared one after another in a grocery store in the Hidden Land, and the master seemed to be following his apprentice. The old man had already noticed what happened. That’s not right.”
"The most interesting thing is that not long after, Master Zhixia, you left with that very ordinary grocery store owner."
"Of course, although I was extremely curious at the time, I still didn't do anything. For example, I followed Zhixia Zhenren to see where you were taking the grocery store owner, because I was afraid that if I used my spiritual power, I would be killed by Zhixia. Really, you notice.”
"So I just watched from a distance. It wasn't until long after Zhixia Zhenren left that I walked into the grocery store."
"It's just that I have been searching and thinking about that grocery store for a long time, but I still can't figure out why you, the master and the disciples, came to this grocery store one after another, which didn't seem to have anything unusual, especially Zhixia Zhenren Why did you take the grocer away?"
"But the next day, you masters and disciples returned to the grocery store together again. Then you masters and disciples seemed to know nothing and went around asking where the grocery store owner had gone. The problem is that Lao Na obviously saw it with his own eyes. Seeing that it was Zhixia Zhenren who left with the grocery store owner, this made Lao Na who was watching everything secretly even more confused."
"However, I understand one thing, that is, as long as we find the grocery store owner, we may be able to figure out the truth."
Having said this, Master Miki paused slightly, raised his hand and called out to the outside of the hall.
"Huiming, bring that man over."
Then, a tall and thin young monk appeared outside the gate, accompanied by an old man with a hunchback and an ordinary appearance in his early fifties.
The hunchbacked little old man seemed a little afraid of such a scene, and stood there tremblingly. When he saw Li Zhixia in the hall, his expression became even more panicked.
And the moment the little old man appeared, Li Zhixia's eyes suddenly shrank, revealing a look of extreme surprise and surprise. She seemed even more surprised than her hidden identity being discovered by Master Miki.
"No way, you absolutely can't find him!"
Li Zhixia suddenly turned her head and said to Master Miki almost word by word.
