Chapter 977: The first wave of uninvited guests
'Strength is between the middle and late stages of Earth Soul Realm, or higher. '
'Has eccentric behavior. '
'More than one person. '
Lu Feng sorted out the clues given by Ji Zhi. Except for the 'quirk' behavior, which may have a direction, the rest were of no use at all. It would be useless to search based on the quirk alone without the murderer taking the initiative to expose it. Reality.
After all, you can't just go door to door and arrest people on the street just to ask if they have the habit of washing people's feet.
Lin Bairu thought about it and asked Jizhi: "You said you had conducted an investigation, but did you find anything?"
Ji Zhi shook his head in shame, "Nothing was found."
Lu Feng asked in confusion: "Did Xiaojin do anything abnormal before the accident? Or did he offend someone?"
Ji Zhi shook his head again, "During those days, I would see her every day during the day. If anything happened, I would be able to detect it."
Lu Feng frowned and asked, "Then what's going on with Xiaowan's hysteria?"
Ji Zhi responded: "I don't know the specific cause of the disease. It should be caused by the sudden news of Miss Jin's death and sadness. After Miss Jin was buried, I never saw Xiaowan again, a member of the Lin family." She said that she traveled alone in the mainland, and when we see her again, she has reopened the bean juice restaurant."
"When I saw it suddenly, I thought Miss Jin had come back to life. Later, after asking Lin Wanshan and the others, I found out that Xiaowan couldn't stand her sister's death and couldn't accept the fact, which inspired her to pretend to be her sister. Living strange hysteria.”
Lin Bairu's face was filled with emotion and intolerance as he listened, thinking about how helpless Lin Xiaowan must have been in the face of Lin Baijian's inaction in such a big environment as the Lin family. Thinking about how he, as the latter's elder, had no idea of this. Even though such a big thing happened, I didn't give the latter immediate care and comfort, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Ji Zhi hesitated for a while and then said: "Actually, there is another thing that I am quite concerned about. Before Miss Jin's accident, Qin Tianliang of the Qin family and Jun Ziqian of the Jun family both pestered her for a while, but then they both agreed to leave her. I’ve never been to a bean juice restaurant.”
Lu Feng's face suddenly darkened when he heard the names of Qin Tianliang and Jun Ziqian.
"Have you ever questioned them?"
Ji Zhi nodded immediately, "At first, I also suspected that the two of them killed Miss Jin, but after getting to know each other, I found that Qin Tianliang alienated and gave up on Miss Jin because of his good relationship with my sister; while Jun Ziqian It was because of the sudden change in the Lin family that her sister no longer allowed him to be friends with her on the grounds that they were not from the right family."
Lin Bairu couldn't help but feel angry, "What a selfish thing!"
Lu Feng thought about it secretly, but instead of dispelling his suspicion like Ji Zhi, he became even more suspicious. He knew that Qin Tianliang and Jun Ziqian were not good men and women. If they said they were the right match, they might still stick to it, but in this situation When something unexpected happens to the Lin family, the two of them might take advantage of the chaos and do something crazy!
"Then what's going on with Gongsun Che?" Lu Feng suddenly remembered Gongsun Che's appearance at the Bean Juice Restaurant that night.
Ji Zhi explained: "He doesn't have any suspicion. I asked afterward and found that he was not in Xuanjin City when Miss Jin's accident happened. Now he is only entangled with Xiaowan. Judging from the fact that he said Miss Lin, he probably didn't know." It’s about Qing Xiaowan pretending to be Miss Jin.”
Lu Feng secretly nodded and talked with Ji Zhi until the afternoon. After telling the latter not to mention Lin Xiaojin's death too much in front of Lin Xiaowan, he walked out of the room.
…
Half past noon. Qufu Mountain is located.
While Lu Feng was still worrying about the Lin family's 'household affairs', trouble was also coming to Qufu Mountain.
Because the establishment of the 'Renxin Academy' has attracted the attention of countless forces within and outside the sectarian circles, many jealous and unwilling small forces in the surrounding area have begun to make moves as soon as it was announced.
At the top of Qufu Mountain, there is the Lingyao Hall.
The people in Shaoyang were gathering together, peacefully and lively eating a large table of spiritual delicacies prepared by Ning Xiang.
Suddenly, a piece of jade embedded in the core pillar of the hall shone intermittently.
Qian Xin's expression suddenly froze when he saw this, "Someone broke into the mountain!"
Shao Yang also glanced at the jade stones on the pillars in the hall, but he didn't panic at all. He smiled lightly, "What is supposed to come will come sooner or later. We will act according to the instructor's instructions!"
Jun Ziyi could not help but feel a little confused because he had just returned not long ago and was unaware of the 'teacher's arrangement' mentioned by Shao Yang.
Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, got up and went to the 'Renwu Hall' next to the Lingyao Hall. This is a place specially used to discuss strategies and exchange theoretical experiences.
There is a 'sand table' in Renwu Hall, which covers an area about the size of two Eight Immortals tables. It is covered with mountains, hills, trees, houses and other mini terrains, perfectly replicating Qufu Mountain and its surrounding area.
This kind of 'sand table' is just like the jade embedded in the pillars previously. It is connected to the Qufu Mountain Nursing Array, and has extremely clear sensing and feedback to the outside world.
For example, right now, through the 'Inspiration Array' set up at the foot of the mountain connected by the sand table, those forces from outside that are able to set foot on the foot of Qufu Mountain are clearly marked on the sand table.
Qian Xin looked at the corresponding area at the foot of the mountain on the sand table. At this moment, the beads that were smaller than the fingernails of a baby's finger slowly appeared in the sand, and his face couldn't help but look a little cautious.
"one two three……"
There are more than twenty small jade beads in total!
"There are quite a few people here in the first batch!"
A coldness flashed in Qianxin's eyes. There were hundreds of beads set up like this, but not all of them appeared at the moment. This meant that they were still within the range of the premonition of the spiritual formation. The number of people who came should be equal to the number of small jade beads that appeared. Pretty much the same.
"What?" Jun Ziyi shook his confused head and said blankly: "Tell me, what did the mentor tell me, and why did he say 'the first batch'? Is this all part of the mentor's plan? Isn’t there a second or third batch?”
Shao Yang interrupted: "At the moment, the most important thing is to deal with those blind people. Let Yue'er stay and slowly talk to you about the mentor's plan."
Shao Yue nodded beside him.
"I don't," Jun Ziyi took Shao Yue's hand, "I also want to join in the fun, Yue'er, let's talk as we walk."
Ning Xiang watched everyone walking out and said, "I'll warm the dishes for you. Come back as soon as possible. There are training arrangements for the afternoon."
The words were full of trust and reassurance.
After a while, Shaoyang and his party arrived outside the main gate where the archway of 'Renxin Academy' is located.
Everyone stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the bottom of the mountain, looking at the more than 20 people climbing up the mountain.
Jun Ziyi saw that the bearded rough man wearing a tiger fur robe who was walking at the front looked familiar. Combined with the hideous scar across most of the man's face, he couldn't help but scream in horror: "That seems to be from the Tiger Wolf Village. Village leader Peng Tianhu!?"
Hulang Village is also well-known in the bandit circles of the Central Xuan Territory. Junziyi made a special effort to learn about it when he ran away from home to experience the world, so he was deeply impressed by key figures such as Peng Tianhu.
After recognizing the identity of the person, Jun Ziyi's face was full of worry, "What should I do? Peng Tianhu had the strength of the second breath of the Heavenly Soul Realm more than three years ago. We are no match at all. The mentor is not on the mountain at the moment, and I don't know Sister Ruoshui." If I can't beat him, I'll go to the back mountain to find Ruoshui..."
