In front of Mu Qing, Su Si's attitude was very clear.
That is, the events of a hundred years ago have been settled, but a sudden turmoil arose at this time. It was Elder Zangjian who wanted to use external forces to disrupt the originally stable situation.
So when Mu Qing suggested that the murderer was someone else, Su Si no longer wanted to continue the conversation.
She stood up and asked seriously: "What do you think of me as a person?"
Mu Qing replied sincerely: "Senior is very sincere."
Su Si asked again: "What about Senior Brother?"
Mu Qing replied: "Same thing."
Su Si raised her eyebrows and said, "You have only known Senior Brother for a few days, but I have known him since we were young. I think I can see clearly what kind of person he is."
Mu Qing said patiently: "Senior Fang followed me into the sword tomb. It was he who discovered the strangeness of the sword that made me choose to believe Jian Wenxuan's words."
"What's strange?" Su Si asked with a frown.
Mu Qing said: "The sword demon gave birth to a special sword ghost. It can peek into the memories of these people, and can even simulate the breath of the people marked by it. It is not difficult to impersonate Sect Master Lu."
"If Fu Xinghe has also been in contact with it, then it can also impersonate Fu Xinghe."
Su Si sat down again and asked, "Have you seen this sword ghost?"
"No." Mu Qing said truthfully: "It's still speculation."
Su Si frowned deeper.
It's all speculation, but Fang Jun's words are obviously much more powerful than Jian Wenxuan's.
After all, when it comes to origins, no one in the Sword Sect knows the Bending Sword better than Fang Jun.
Mu Qing talked about his recent experience: "Deacon Hu took the initiative to reveal his true identity to me, which may have something to do with him bumping into Peak Master Bai."
"At least, the events of a hundred years ago are not really settled in some people's hearts."
"I don't want to get involved, but if it's about studying the Sword Sutra in the future, I can't avoid it."
Su Si was silent for a long time and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Mu Qing said, "The remaining nine people will be identified tomorrow. I only have one day. I hope seniors can try their best to help me and catch the current situation of this sword ghost before then."
Su Si didn't hold out much hope and said: "The Sword Sect has been peaceful for the past hundred years. If everything is as you expected, the Sword Demon will not be exposed in advance?"
"What if the bait is big enough and right in front of you?" Mu Qing asked.
Su Si stood up suddenly and looked at Mu Qing, "Ancestor and the others are in danger?"
Mu Qing said: "The cultivation method of this sword ghost is the same as that of the sword cultivator. It will absorb the soul power of the refined sword cultivator to increase its own spiritual power. Senior Su and the others are in their current state. I’m afraid it’s just what it likes.”
Su Si heard this and walked towards the secret room. Mu Qing followed: "I have a formation here..."
As dusk approached, Su Si took Mu Qing to the Jinglan Peak, which actually attracted a lot of people's attention.
But when they learned that Su Si and Mu Qing went to the three sword houses next to the Sword Washing Pond, these people's curiosity faded away.
In the Sword House, three flying swords stopped in front of Su Si and Mu Qing, shaking up and down from time to time, and their mood was not calm.
Compared to Su Si and Mu Qing, Su Kuoyu and the others truly trusted Fang Jun.
Su Kuoyu sighed: "I'm afraid this is the test that Master Sword Master has left for our Sword Sect."
A slender sword stopped in front of Mu Qing, and Jian Xiu's voice came out, "Just waiting like this won't work. How can we lure this sword ghost to take the bait?"
Mu Qing was prepared, took out a jade slip, and said: "This is the Yuan Shaping Jue. I will temporarily unlock the seals of the three seniors, and then help the three seniors form a residence here to practice as Yuanshen. "
"However, there is a huge disadvantage in Shaping Yuan Jue. The more advanced it is, the more difficult it will be to reshape the body in the future, so we must control the level well."
Su Kuoyu and the others were already accustomed to Mu Qing possessing all kinds of top secret arts and magical powers. Su Kuoyu immediately smiled and said: "It's a good thing to be able to show people their true colors. Little friend Mu Qing, please unlock my seal first."
Mu Qing nodded.
Unlocking the seal and then using the Yuan Shaping Jue to stabilize the body of the Yuan Shen is a process, not a matter of course. When Su Kuoyu appeared in front of everyone with his original appearance, the energy of the Yuan Shen he had recovered in the past few days had elapsed for six months. become.
With Su Kuoyu's sacrifice, Jian Xiu and Ou Yechen's losses were much less, their souls were full, and their strength gap with their real bodies was shortened by a large margin.
Su Si stood aside silently, and finally said to Mu Qing: "Pursue perfection in practice. If nothing happens in the future, I hope you can re-seal the ancestors into the sword as soon as possible."
"This is natural." Mu Qing agreed.
Mu Qing took out the formation that Fang Jun had set up himself and gave it to Su Si. Su Si and Su Kuoyue discussed how to set it up to be concealed.
He took this opportunity to walk back and forth, but before he reached the fork in the road, a figure appeared in front of him.
"It seems you have made your choice."
Jian Wenxuan stood by the road and looked at Mu Qing and said.
Mu Qing asked: "Based on your understanding of them, will they take the bait?"
Jian Wenxuan shook his head: "It's difficult. But each other knows that there will always be times when they can't help it."
Mu Qing asked: "Besides Fu Xinghe, you should have other clues, right?"
Jian Wenxuan nodded: "Before Leng Yu left, he told me to be careful about someone..."
Su Si arranged the formation, and when he saw Mu Qing coming back, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you just go to see Elder Zangjian?"
Mu Qing shook his head: "I don't know what his attitude is yet. Jian Wenxuan did these things without telling him."
For Su Si, it was really tiring to suspect a brother whom she truly respected and start plotting against him.
She hesitated and said, "If what Senior Fang Jun said is true, does Senior Brother have anything to hide?"
Mu Qing was silent for a moment and replied: "It's difficult to bring up old things again and end everything with a sword ghost. Don't you want to know the truth?"
"...I regret it all the time."
"..."
The two of them made sure that everything they could arrange had been completed and left the Sword Washing Pond.
On the second day, Wenji Peak was even more lively than the previous day.
Mu Qing stood in the stands. Although Lu Manqing still abided by his teacher's orders and stayed by his side, he took the initiative to stand on the edge of the stands.
Mu Qing walked up to her and asked, "Apart from Wuming and Hongyan, who will be the remaining seven people?"
Lu Manqing looked at several of the high platforms where competitions were taking place and introduced them to Mu Qing respectively.
Among the remaining seven, at least five are also from the Wuji Sword Sect, and the other two are Zhou Shuang and Dongfang Tielei of the Dongfang family.
Dongfang Tielei's swordsmanship is worthy of his name, and his moves are astonishing. With the physical strength of a pure martial artist, he dances a broad-faced heavy sword so airtight that once he attacks, the opponent will not even have a chance to counterattack.
This was the first time that Mu Qing saw a swordsman who really had his own opinions in the realm of swordsmanship. Before he could look away, there was a sudden uproar in the stands on both sides of the Falling Sword Valley, and many people even looked towards From his side of the stands.
Zhou Shuang of the Zhou family was the first to defeat his opponent, and his victory was an understatement. Many people began to discuss which of the two girls would be better if Lu Manqing participated in the competition.
Zhou Shuang, who was on the high platform, had already sheathed his sword. Hearing the murmurs in the crowd, he frowned and looked this way, with an obvious invitation to fight in his eyes.
Lu Manqing raised her eyebrows, and as soon as she took half a step, a figure stood in front of her and said softly: "Why go against your master's wishes."
Lu Manqing sighed softly, feeling a little depressed.
Mu Qing waited until Zhu Hongyan and Su Wuming also won one after another, and then came to the courtyard prepared by Zhou Yang for them. Lu Manqing followed him out of sight and out of mind.
The blue light above the courtyard flashed away, and the formation was activated.
Mu Qing turned around and smiled at Lu Manqing: "If you want to differentiate between Zhou Shuang and Zhou Shuang, I can help you."
Lu Manqing shook his head: "Forget it, unless I leave the Sword Sect,
Otherwise, I won’t be able to hide it from Master anywhere. "
Mu Qing said: "I can provide a place where no one will disturb you, but you have to keep it a secret."
Lu Manqing was stunned and looked at Mu Qing, "Really?"
"Of course." Mu Qing said, "The last time I was on the island, Zhu Hongyan regretted not being able to fight you. I will invite them when they come over."
Lu Manqing showed his face and said: "This is how sword cultivators should be."
Mu Qing said: "This is actually an opportunity. I just don't know what kind of person Zhou Shuang is. Can she keep it a secret for me?"
Lu Manqing replied: "She is a proud person."
Mu Qing knew what was going on, and was hesitating whether to reveal more information to Lu Manqing when Zhou Yang's voice suddenly sounded outside the hospital: "Hey, Lao Ni, what are you doing here?"
A voice replied: "The Peak Master has prepared a gift and asked me to personally deliver it to the distinguished guest."
Mu Qing looked at Lu Manqing, who tilted his head slightly.
Lu Manqing said: "It should be Elder Ni Xiuyun of Evergreen Peak."
Mu Qing narrowed his eyes and took the initiative to walk out of the door.
Ni Xiuyun was wearing a cloud-patterned green robe, with white hair, but his face looked like a young man in his twenties. When he saw Lu Manqing and a young man with extraordinary temperament walking out, he immediately straightened his robes and bowed seriously: " Evergreen Peak Ni Xiuyun thanks the Lord of Muqing City."
Mu Qing frowned slightly and took a step to the side.
Zhou Yang was very surprised, "Ni Xiuyun, what are you doing?"
Mu Qing also said: "Elder Ni, I cannot bear such a great gift."
Ni Xiuyun straightened up and said with a grateful face: "Not to mention that the three ancestors returned to the sect but the peak master has a heart problem, the peak master has changed in the past two days, and Ni Xiuyun should be the same."
Ni Xiuyun immediately explained: "Since I had a chat with City Master Mu, the peak master's state of stagnation for many years has shown signs of loosening. This is really the biggest happy event in Evergreen Peak in a hundred years!"
Mu Qing shook his head and said: "Elder, please call me by my first name. Peak Master Bai can change because of Sister Qingyu. I am of a low level and do not have this ability."
Ni Xiuyun took out a storage bag and held it respectfully in front of Mu Qing. After Mu Qing accepted it, he smiled and said: "The original words of the peak master are not like this. Although little Mu Qing is young, he can speak a few words." Breaking through the confusion in the Peak Master's heart, there is no one as outstanding as you in the entire Sword Sect."
Ni Xiuyun quickly invited: "Of the seven main peaks of Jianzong, Changqing Peak has the best scenery. Little friend Mu Qing hasn't been to our Changqing Peak yet, right?"
"Yes." Mu Qing looked at the storage bag in his hand and said with a smile.
Ni Xiuyun's eyes moved and he smiled calmly: "Young friends, you might as well go to Evergreen Peak as a guest with your friends."
"Many disciples of the inner sect have heard that you are among the ten, and they have made offensive remarks in private. I have warned these disciples many times, but they are all unwilling to accept it. No matter how much I say it, it is not as good as my little friend coming forward in person. , let these people understand that there are people outside the world and there is a sky outside the world."
Lu Manqing frowned slightly and was about to speak, but Mu Qing had already nodded in agreement: "I'll trouble Elder Ni to make arrangements."
