What came out of the manor was a young man with fluttering sleeves, thin body, and fair appearance.
The young man came out of the manor door, looked around, and then walked into the distance.
Shu Guan knew who that young man was.
Confucianism ridiculed Chu.
Nowadays, the four major immortal species of the Seven Immortals Alliance are known to everyone in the Shencheng cultivation world, and even the immortal species plan of the Seven Immortals Alliance is no longer a secret.
Therefore, the names and identities of the disciples of the Seven Immortals Alliance can easily be found out in the Shencheng cultivation community.
So Shu Guan already knew what kind of people the four extremely powerful Seven Immortal Alliance disciples he met earlier were like.
Shu watched one of the four immortals from the Seven Immortals Alliance in Shen City leave the manor where the Seven Immortals Alliance was stationed, and then he put down the bow and arrow in his hand.
Because he suddenly thought of another way to invite Seven Immortals Alliance disciples to watch a movie.
Although that method was a bit risky, at this moment he couldn't help but want to do it.
He wanted to visit the Seven Immortals Alliance's residence.
So Shu Guan began to wait.
He put an invisibility charm on himself, came outside the gate of the Seven Immortals Alliance Manor, stood not far from the gate, gathered his breath, and began to wait.
Shu Guan waited for about two hours, and finally the figure of the Immortal from the Seven Immortals Alliance named Xi Chu appeared from a distance and walked towards the gate of the manor.
…
Xi Chu walked into the gate of the manor.
There is a pavilion behind the gate of the manor. There is a young man sitting in the pavilion. On the stone table in front of the young man, there is a thick stack of newspapers.
Young people are reading newspapers.
Xi Chu, who walked through the door, paused slightly when he saw this scene, and a trace of confused memory flashed in his eyes.
At this time, the young man also raised his head and stood up quickly when he saw Xi Chu standing outside the pavilion.
"Brother Xi, you are back!"
Xi Chu didn't speak, just smiled and nodded at him.
"Oh, by the way, Senior Brother Xi, Senior Sister Li just said that if you come back, you should go to the lakeside meeting hall immediately, where everyone will discuss matters."
Xi Chu smiled and nodded to the young man in the pavilion, then walked around the pavilion, walked onto the stone path on the left side of the pavilion, and walked towards the manor.
The young man in the pavilion touched his head, and a strange look flashed on his face.
Going to the lakeside meeting hall, it is much closer if you go to the right, so why did Brother Xi go to the left?
Of course, he didn't think Xi Chu would remember the wrong way. Maybe Senior Brother Xi had to do something else first.
So the young disciple continued to sit back in his seat, picked up today's newspaper, and continued today's task of guarding the mountain gate.
Xi Chu walked forward along the bluestone road.
He walked leisurely, looking left and right from time to time, as if admiring the scenery in the manor.
However, he did not meet any other Seven Immortals Alliance disciples along the way. Except for some ordinary employees who were responsible for some chores in the manor, he did not meet any Seven Immortals Alliance disciples.
I think the other disciples of the Seven Immortals Alliance were discussing something in the meeting hall by the lake at this time.
Xi Chu still walked slowly and leisurely. He spent about twenty minutes walking around the entire manor, and then finally saw a small lake with beautiful scenery on the other side of the manor.
Beside the small lake, there is a water hall facing the wind on all sides. It can be vaguely seen that there are many figures sitting in the water hall at this time.
Xi Chu walked towards the water hall.
Stepping into the water hall, I saw about thirty people sitting in the water hall, and a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance stood at the front of everyone, separated from the others by a long table. Holding a piece of chalk in his hand, he was writing and drawing on a blackboard and talking at the same time.
Xi Chu's eyes swept across the hall, and then he walked towards the front of the meeting hall. He walked to the second row of seats in front and sat down on the empty seat at the side.
There are three seats in the first row. The three Nascent Soul Ancestors, Qingfeng Lao Dao, Dao Ji Master and Zou Zhen, are sitting there.
The second row is the seat of the four great immortal species.
When Xi Chu sat down, Li Changqing next to him turned to look at him and asked softly.
"Is the matter done?"
Xi Chu smiled and nodded at her.
Li Changqing didn't ask any more questions, turned his head and stared ahead, continuing to listen to Ye Fan's speech.
"...What I just summarized is all the clues we currently have about the 'Swallow'. I made some deductions about these clues..."
So Xi Chu also turned to look at the middle-aged man in front of him with an extremely ordinary appearance and temperament. After he knew that the subject of today's discussion was about the identity of the "Swallow", he immediately started to listen very seriously.
"...First of all, this 'Swallow' is definitely not a local practitioner in Shencheng. I judge that the time he came to Shencheng should be six months ago..."
"...He has the ability to pretend to be anyone..."
"...That incident at the Royal Oak Restaurant, judging from the weapons used, I'm sure it was this 'Swallow' who did it, but why didn't he leave the paper swallow mark? I'm sure he killed those Western Continent practitioners. , it was by no means the original purpose of his going there... He should have another identity in Shanghai, and the incident at the Royal Oak Restaurant should be related to his other identity... I think we should remember that we went to the Royal Oak that day Every guest in the Oak Restaurant will be screened again..."
Ye Fan stood in front and talked.
Xi Chu was sitting below, his eyes flashing when he heard this.
"... As for the level of strength of this 'Swallow', this is something that all immortal masters need to judge. I, a mortal, cannot help you, but there is one thing I need to remind you of. That is to judge this 'Swallow' 'Many things cannot be judged by common sense, and we have to think about some impossible possibilities..."
Everyone present had thoughtful looks in their eyes.
"...and this 'Swallow' should not be alone. From certain details, I can conclude that he has many helpers, or a team that belongs to him... Everyone, Immortal Master may wish to think about it carefully. In the past Are there any traces of other people's Taoism where 'Yanzi' took action? We can't find that 'Yanzi' for the time being, or we can start with his helpers..."
"...In addition, I still stick to my point of view. Even if the two people Tantai Yu was killed before were two special cases, they violated the 'Swallow''s consistent code of conduct, especially the death of Yang Cunguo. A person who massacred the Consulate of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun twice would never kill a staunch anti-Rising Sun patriot like Yang Cunguo... Among the two options of split personality and someone acting in the name of 'Swallow', I prefer the latter. , because their killing methods are exactly the same, and if a person has a split personality, there are often some traces that reveal a person's psychological state in the killing methods, but I did not find such traces, so it is more like A kind of imitation..."
Xi Chu's expression was slightly startled at first, and then he looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, with deep admiration in his eyes.
"Then, Mr. Ye Fan, if according to your inference, the 'swallow' that killed Tantai Yu the night before yesterday was a real swallow or a fake swallow."
At this time, Mchisang suddenly stood up and asked such a question.
Her face looked a little haggard, her eyes were a little red, and when she asked, there was endless anger and murderous intent in her eyes.
Of course, her anger and murderous intent were not directed at Mark.
Her question also made Ye Fan suddenly silent for a moment, and then he looked at Mchisang with slightly complicated eyes and said slowly:
"Immortal Mu Chi, I can't answer your question because there is no information for judgment, but I would like to give Immortal Mu Chi a suggestion, that is, please control your anger towards that 'Swallow' for the time being."
"Why?"
Mchisang asked coldly.
"Because the real 'Swallow' and the fake 'Swallow' are like the yin and yang sides of a person. Since anyone has the possibility of taking action, it means that Tantai Yu also has two sides."
"Mr. Ye, what do you mean by this!"
Mchisang was startled for a moment, then his eyes shot out with extremely sharp light, staring at Mark and said.
"What I just said is just a logical possibility. It does not mean that there is anything wrong with Tantai Yu."
Ye Fan sighed.
"So Mr. Ye Fan, do you think we can find out the identity of 'Swallow' within three months?"
At this time Li Changqing also stood up and asked.
Because the night before, she publicly promised Tantai Jingming, the ancestor of the Tantai family, in front of the bluestone wall at the top of Fenghuang Mountain that she would find "Swallow" within three months and give an explanation to the Tantai family.
Otherwise, the Tantai family would have to use their own methods, such as using the soul-searching technique on every guest who attended the banquet on the eve of the night, to find the person who killed Tantai Yu.
"Master Li Xian, I can't guarantee it. As I said just now, the most likely thing to find out the identity of 'Swallow' is the incident at the Royal Oak Restaurant, because that incident was not an operation carefully planned by 'Swallow', but It was an impromptu move, so in that matter, it is most likely to leave some flaws that he didn't even notice, which is also the only place where we can hope to break through."
Ye Fan finished.
Then the three ancestors in the first row stood up.
"Since Chang Qing has promised to the Tantai Family, we must find that 'Swallow' within three months. This is related to the reputation of our Seven Immortals Alliance."
Qingfeng Lao Taoist said with a rare and extremely serious expression:
"In addition, regardless of whether the 'Swallow' is real or fake, his current behavior has exceeded the bottom line of our Seven Immortals Alliance's tolerance for him."
"For the next three months, we in the Seven Immortals Alliance will put all other matters aside and make every effort to track down that 'Swallow'!"
…
Today's discussion ended when Patriarch Qingfeng gave the order.
The disciples left the water hall one after another.
The four great immortals were the last to leave.
Li Changqing and Ye Fan walked in front, talking in low voices about how to thoroughly investigate the details of every guest who appeared in the Huang Family Oak Restaurant that night.
Monk Huaiyue was two steps behind.
At the end are Xi Chu and Mu Chisang walking side by side.
"If I find that 'Swallow', I will let him taste the bite of the most ferocious and vicious poisonous insects in our southern Xinjiang."
Mchisang gritted her teeth and said to Xi Chu. It could be seen from her expression at this moment that this was not a word to vent her anger, but something she would definitely do in the future.
Xi Chu didn't speak, just nodded his head.
Then several people said goodbye in front of a pavilion, and each returned to the pavilion where they lived.
After Li Changqing said goodbye to Ye Fan, he also walked towards the pavilion where he lived. However, the moment before entering the door, Li Changqing suddenly stopped, frowned, and stood still.
Because at the moment before she entered the door, she suddenly and inexplicably found that her Taoist heart seemed to be a little more refined, but she didn't know how this happened.
She didn't notice this while talking to Ye Fan all the way. Only when her thoughts calmed down before entering the door did she realize that her Taoist realm seemed to have made a breakthrough again.
Li Changqing stood in front of the door and recalled it, and finally remembered that when he was in the meeting hall, his Taoist heart seemed to be suddenly touched, but Li Changqing could not remember why his Taoist heart was suddenly touched.
So after staying in front of the door for a while, Li Changqing turned around and walked towards the meeting hall. She wanted to go back and find out the reason why her Taoist heart was touched.
Soon after, Li Changqing returned to the water hall.
Just as she was about to step into the water hall, a voice came from behind her.
"Senior Sister Li, is today's discussion over?"
Li Changqing's body was shaken and he looked back suddenly.
I saw Xi Chu walking towards her from a distance.
At this moment, a look of confusion flashed in Li Changqing's eyes.
Because just a few minutes ago, she saw Xi Chu walking into his own pavilion with her own eyes.
Of course, Xi Chu may also have other things to come back to, but the question is what does the sentence Xi Chu asked just now mean?
What does "Is today's discussion over?"
Xi Chu clearly participated in today's discussion just now. Although he came a little late, he still participated. How could he not know that the discussion was over?
Xi Chu walked up to Li Changqing and found that Senior Sister Li had an unusually strange expression at the moment, even a little pale. He had never seen such a strange expression on the face of Li Changqing, who was always calm and calm.
"Senior Sister Li, what happened?"
So Xi Chu inevitably asked curiously.
Li Changqing looked at Xi Chu in front of him very seriously, as if he was trying to determine whether the person in front of him was Xi Chu.
Xi Chu was a little flustered by this look, because he clearly saw the sword light in Li Changqing's eyes.
Senior Sister Li seemed to be using the sword's heart-clearing technique on him.
"Senior Sister Li, what's wrong?"
Xi Chu couldn't help but ask again.
Li Changqing took a deep breath.
After looking at Xi Chu with the Sword Heart Transparency Technique, she had confirmed that the Xi Chu in front of her was the real Xi Chu, and then she asked Xi Chu with an extremely solemn expression:
"You just came back?"
"Yes! I just returned to the village and knew that there would be a discussion today, so I came directly to the meeting hall. When I entered the door, Tan Menglong, who was guarding the door today, had disappeared somewhere. I originally wanted to ask him if the discussion was over... Yes Sorry, Senior Sister Li, why did today's meeting end so early? I even calculated the time to come back!"
As Xi Chu spoke, he looked up at the sky.
The next moment, his expression suddenly became a little confused.
And when he withdrew his gaze and glanced across the conference hall behind Li Changqing, his eyes suddenly focused and he exclaimed in surprise.
"What it is?"
Li Changqing suddenly looked back again and saw a black cloth bag placed on the long table in the conference hall with the door open.
And on top of the cloth bag stood a snow-white origami swallow.
Li Changqing's expression finally changed completely. She remembered clearly that there were absolutely no such things on the table before she left the meeting hall, and the four immortals were the last to leave the meeting hall.
Li Changqing's figure flashed and appeared in front of the long table.
The first thing she picked up was the snow-white paper swallow.
Just by looking at it, Li Changqing was already sure that this paper-folded swallow was the swallow of "Swallow".
Because she has seen many such paper swallows, and the paper swallow in her hand has exactly the same origami method as the "swallow" paper swallows she has seen before.
If there was a difference, it was that there was no blood on this paper swallow, while the paper swallows she had seen before were all bloody.
And on this paper swallow, there seems to be some writing vaguely.
Li Changqing's heart beat violently.
She slowly dismantled the paper swallow, her skills were extremely skillful, because she had dismantled the same paper swallow countless times in the past few days.
When the paper swallow was dismantled into a piece of white paper, there was indeed a line written on the white paper:
During the Lantern Festival, at 10 p.m. at the Grand Guangming Theater, everyone is invited to enjoy a wonderful film.
Looking at this line of words, Li Changqing was a little confused.
Then her eyes fell on the black cloth bag.
…
Soon after, all the Seven Immortals Alliance disciples in the manor returned to the meeting hall.
Everyone's eyes were looking at the cloth bag that had been opened.
Inside the cloth bag is a stack of movie tickets.
Thirty-two in total.
No more, no less, exactly the number of people in the Seven Immortals Alliance in Shanghai.
They all already know who sent these movie tickets.
So at this moment, everyone in the conference hall looked very ugly, some were angry, some were angry, some were ridiculous, and some were humiliated.
Not long ago, these people gathered together to discuss how to catch the "Swallow".
But who could have imagined that that "Swallow" was sitting in the water hall at that time, listening to how they planned to deal with him!
Then he also left his own signature paper swallow here, as well as a pile of movie tickets.
This is outright teasing and a slap in the face.
It's like stepping on the ground and rubbing their faces and IQs.
They could all imagine how the "swallow" was laughing at them at this time.
Therefore, the expression on the face of almost everyone in the conference hall was anger, unwillingness and humiliation.
The same is true for the four great immortal species, among them the anger on Xi Chu's face is the most prominent.
Because he now knows that "Swallow" pretended to be his identity and entered this meeting hall.
What embarrassed him the most was that he still couldn't figure out how his identity was used by that "Swallow".
Perhaps only the three Nascent Soul Ancestors looked a little calmer. After all, they had gone through so many years and were no longer as arrogant as the young disciples and could not bear the humiliation.
However, the faces of the three Nascent Soul Ancestors were also full of bitterness.
"He really can pretend to be anyone."
Master Daoji sighed quietly.
"Then all of us from the Seven Immortals Alliance will go to that cinema tonight to see what kind of movie he invites us to watch!"
Old Taoist Qingfeng said with a wry smile.
"Since it's a shared viewing, he'd better be in that movie theater."
In the end, Zou Zhen snorted so coldly.
