It is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, and the soil in the back garden is moist and soft. It is impossible for ordinary people to step on it without leaving footprints. However, no clues were found where Xu Su died. It was strange and inexplicable, so Xu Yaozu chose to report it to the official.
"It's not that there are no traces, but this person has extremely high qinggong. This footprint should have been left by the murderer who had to use his strength to fly up into the air when he left."
Lu Huiqing followed, looking at the barely visible footprints on the ground, feeling a little troubled: "You can't trace anything just by relying on these footprints."
Unexpectedly, Song Xing shook his head and pointed at the footprints and said, "No, look at the toe of this shoe print. There are three slight indentations here, showing that the toe of the shoe is sewn from three pieces of cloth."
"This kind of Arhat shoes can only be worn by one kind of people in this dynasty, monks practicing as monks."
Xu Yaozu looked at the young Yinzhang head hunter with some surprise. He did not expect that in just a short while, he would find such important clues.
Lu Huiqing was also refreshed. If the identity of the murderer could be identified, it would undoubtedly be more conducive to the investigation of the case.
"The knife that pierced the heart, from bottom to top, was brutal and precise, without the slightest error. It penetrated directly into the middle of the heart, cutting off all vitality in the body."
Song Xing leaned down and stared at the blood marks on Xu Suzhi's left shoulder and chest again, as well as the surrounding footprints, and reorganized the battle situation in his mind bit by bit.
Xu Suzhi was practicing swordplay in the early morning when a mysterious man suddenly appeared behind him. During the fight, Xu Suzhi was instantly injured. Xu Suzhi fought back in pain, but was killed with one move, unable to resist.
"I heard that the Haisha Sect has a secret sword technique called Green Clam to send messages. The attack is fierce. Brother Xu, can you show it to me?"
Hearing Song Xing's sudden strange request, Xu Yaozu was stunned and said, "Song Yinzhang, is my father's murder related to Qingfu's message?"
Although Xu Yaozu was puzzled, he still followed Song Xing's instructions, jumped into the air, and made a volleying downward sword move.
Song Xing took Xu Yaozu's sword and held a sword flower. The moves were exactly the same as Xu Yaozu's gestures, but from bottom to top.
"Judging from the shoe prints, the murderer should be much shorter than the old master Xu. When the old master used this move, he was in mid-air and his position was higher. If the murderer used the green clam to send a message at this time, Xu Zhang would Come back and see if the wound is consistent with the wound of the old master."
Xu Yaozu was a little unbelievable. He stood in front of Xu Suzhi and changed his angle. Sure enough, he found that the wound on his father's chest was, as Song Xing said, as if it had been stabbed by a green clam that had changed its direction.
"This... how is this possible? How could the murderer know how to use my father's green clam to send a message? This kind of sharp sword style is not taught by my father. He can't master the technique of exerting force at all."
Suddenly, Xu Yaozu was shocked. He raised his head and stared at Song Xing with a bitter look in his eyes: "Unless there is some skill, I can bounce my father's sword skills back and let my father die under his own sword skills."
Song Xing nodded: "Take the other person's way and give it back to him."
...
After Lu Huiqing returned to the six doors, he called Song Xing to him alone and asked: "Are you sure that Xu Suzhi died in Dou Zhuan Xing Yi? Could someone imitate Dou Zhuan Xing Yi and frame the Murong family?"
Song Xing pondered for a moment and said with certainty: "Xu Suzhi did die in Dou Zhuan Xing Yi. Wudang Tai Chi and Xiangxi Miao Jia Phantom Kung Fu can use their strength, but they cannot do it like Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, making people die in their own hands. Under the moves.”
Lu Huiqing looked around, thought about it, and spoke again: "There have been several fatalities in Pingjiang Mansion recently. Although the victims were all second-rate figures, after investigation by the Yin Zhang arresters from each branch, they all died in Now it seems that all the weapons that made him famous should have died at the hands of the Murong family."
"I have checked the files of these deceased people and found that when some of the deceased were killed in Taicang, the only son of the Murong family appeared in Gusu."
Song Xing's expression remained unchanged and he said, "So Jin Zhang suspects that someone is deliberately framing the Murong family?"
Lu Huiqing shook her head: "No, moves like Dou Zhuan Xing Shi Shi have been passed down from generation to generation only to the descendants of the Murong family since the founding of Murong Longcheng. Even the generals who have served them for generations cannot learn it, and no one can imitate it."
After saying this, Lu Huiqing fell into deep thought, but Song Xing knew that this murder was most likely committed by Murong Fu, who had been hiding in Shaolin for thirty years.
The four fathers of Tianlong who cheated their sons, Murong Bo, Xiao Yuanshan, Duan Zhengchun, and Xuanci, are each more outrageous than the last, and they are more ruthless than the last when they cheat their sons.
Taking Murong Bo as an example, the Murong family founded Shenhe Village in Murong Longcheng at the end of the Five Dynasties, and they were determined to rebuild the Yan Kingdom. Generations made great efforts for this purpose, and even moved from the hometown of the Yan Kingdom in the north to the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. .
In Murong Bo's generation, if the Murong family wanted to preserve the hope of restoring the country, they could only join the martial arts world and travel around the world, concealing their rebellious intentions and secretly gathering their wings to find opportunities for trouble.
It's just that the right time is not there for them. No matter how hard they work and work hard, they are destined to be unable to achieve anything.
After the Chanyuan Alliance, the Song and Liao Dynasties made good relations, and the war was not prosperous. The Murong family had no chance to take advantage of it.
Faced with the unfavorable conditions, they were unwilling to do nothing, so they could only take risks to create opportunities.
Murong Bo believed that asking the Song people to kill Xiao Yuanshan, an official of the Liao Kingdom, could provoke a war between the Liao and Song Dynasties. Under his guidance, the tragedy of Yanmen Pass thirty years ago was created.
The subsequent impact of the Yanmen Blood Eucalyptus was so great that it even directly buried Murong Bo's dream of rejuvenating the country, forcing him to fake his death to escape.
After faking his death, Murong Bo did not fake his identity and join a certain court as an official, meet powerful people, or secretly recruit soldiers. Instead, he sneaked into Shaolin secretly and hid in Shaolin for thirty years without achieving anything.
In Song Xing's view, Murong Bo's son Murong Fu, apart from being inferior in martial arts, was actually more intelligent than Murong Bo.
Since ancient times, the only way to revolt is to recruit private soldiers, stockpile grain, political marriage, and collude with local bureaucrats and wealthy families.
Looking at Tianlong, Murong Fu's political sense is very keen, and he is also good at seizing opportunities, but every opportunity passes him by in the end.
Incarnated as Li Yanzong, he wanted to borrow the power of Xixia Yipintang to facilitate his actions.
Deaf Mute Valley participates in the Zhenlong chess game. If he succeeds, he will be the leader of the Xiaoyao sect.
The lords of the thirty-six caves of the Seventy-Two Islands want to attack Lingjiu Palace, and the heroes of the Central Plains in the Shaolin Heroes Conference want to deal with Xiao Feng. In order to use those cave lords, island lords and heroes for his own purposes, Murong Fu stepped forward to win over people's hearts.
The Xixia Kingdom recruited a prince-in-law, which gave him the opportunity to form an alliance with Xixia.
When Duan Zhengchun and Duan Yu fell into his hands, seeing that Duan Yanqing had a good opportunity to regain the throne, he wanted to worship Duan Yanqing as his adoptive father and use the Dali Kingdom to restore the country.
Although these things were unlucky and none of them succeeded, they were at least much more reliable than his father Murong Bo's plan to provoke Shaolin to ambush Xiao Yuanshan.
As an adult, Murong Fu even secretly bribed people, extended favors to various martial arts sects, and passed on the black Yanzi flag, using the Murong family as their backers in exchange for them obeying orders.
At this moment, Murong Bo has been hiding in Shaolin for thirty years and has secretly learned all the seventy-two Shaolin skills.
If Murong Bo found Murong Fu at this time, taught all the seventy-two stunts, and used the seventy-two stunts to recruit heroes, the power of the Murong family would not only increase greatly, but at least they would not be reduced to just two or three kittens.
But Murong Bo didn't know what he was thinking. In order to deceive someone who wanted to fake his death, he even tried to hide it from Murong Fu without revealing anything, so much so that Murong Fu was tricked by his own father and didn't even know who the enemy was.
What made Murong Bo even more deceitful was that he began to use Dou Zhuan Xing Shift as a trick one after another, killing many people in the martial arts world, including some people whom Murong Fu had made great friends with, for fear that others would not know that this was the technique of the Gusu Murong clan.
Lu Huiqing suddenly raised his head and said to Song Xing, "Take someone to Yanziwu."
Song Xing asked: "Are you going to arrest Murong Fu?"
Lu Huiqing shook his head: "No, go and find out for me whether Murong Bo, the old head of the Murong family, really died or faked his death."
Song Xing looked up at Lu Huiqing, a little surprised to hear Murong Bo's name from Lu Huiqing's mouth.
Thirty years ago, Lu Huiqing was only in her twenties. At that time, Murong Bo had faked his death and escaped and was hiding in Shaolin. The two should have nothing to do with each other. Why would Lu Huiqing doubt a person who had been dead for thirty years?
Lu Huiqing saw Song Xing's expression but didn't think much about it. Instead, he explained: "Murong Bo was involved in an affair at Six Gates thirty years ago. I just heard your analysis that the murderer of Xu Suzhi was a famous monk who knew how to change the world. I suspect that he did not really die back then, but changed his identity and remained anonymous."
Song Xing nodded and said: "So Jin Zhang asked me to take people to Yanziwu to nominally investigate Xu Su's fate and actually find out Murong Bo's life and death."
Lu Huiqing picked up the ink pen at hand, wrote a transfer order and handed it to Song Xing: "Yes, you are allowed to mobilize the six sects of Gusu. If necessary, you can do it cheaply. You must investigate this matter clearly for me."
Song Xing waved his hand and refused: "I'll just take Wu Su with me. Liu Yungui probably doesn't want to see me either."
Liu Yungui is another silver medal catcher in the Six Gates of Gusu. He has always been dissatisfied with Song Xing, who is already on an equal footing with him at a young age.
Song Xing asked again: "Even if Murong Bo is not dead, there is no reason to frame his son, right?"
Lu Huiqing raised her head, and there seemed to be some kind of secret hidden in her eyes: "People's hearts change, and when the interests are too great, the relationship between father and son is not something that cannot be discarded in the eyes of some people."
Song Xing cupped his hands to show that he understood, and then asked Lu Huiqing curiously: "Why does Lord Jin Zhang care so much about Murong Bo's life and death?"
At this moment, he felt that the plot he was familiar with before about Tianlong was quietly changing.
In his memory, Murong Bo didn't seem to have anything to do with the Song Dynasty, but looking at Lu Huiqing's performance at the moment, it was obvious that he had a certain understanding of Murong Bo. He couldn't help but guess what happened at Yanmen Pass and Murong Bo's fake death. Is there another secret?
Lu Huiqing ignored him, picked up an official document on the table, started to correct it, and said, "Take someone to Yanziwu first, and report back as soon as there is any news."
