The next day, early morning.
Chen Yutian was sitting cross-legged on the bed as usual, the spiritual platform was empty, waiting for the purple light to appear when the morning sun rose.
When the internal strength of martial arts has been developed to his level, hard training has no effect at all. Apart from the occasional epiphany and the assistance of heaven and earth treasures, the most effective way to improve the internal strength is to absorb the energy that comes with the rising sun. Purple air. This purple energy is born with the rising sun and is of great benefit to those who practice martial arts.
Especially after the power reaches the point where the Gang Qi is separated from the body, the effect will be even more significant.
Therefore, those who practice martial arts will generally not let go of the purple energy given by God.
The same is true for Chen Yutian.
As time slowly approaches, outside the window, a golden light slowly appears from the eastern horizon, and then, a red sun slowly climbs up and appears in the eyes of the world.
But where the human eye cannot see it, only a rich and unparalleled purple energy spreads between the sky and the earth with the vitality of the rising sun.
The majestic momentum. Shocking!
Chenyu Tianlingtai was empty, but his spiritual sense was extremely sensitive. As wisps of fine and rich purple energy entered his body along his nose, an indescribable pleasure suddenly emerged in his heart.
At the same time, he sensed that the Nine Tribulations Cloud Dragon in his body also made bursts of cheerful buzzing sounds as the purple gas entered his body.
Waves of pure and unparalleled sword energy suddenly emerged with the hum of the Nine Tribulations Cloud Dragon, which was completely different from the internal force running in the dantian.
Feeling such changes, Chen Yutian was not happy but happy.
"Sword energy turns into a sword with a snap of my fingers... Ever since the internal power of Long Zhan mutated, I have finally reached the state that all swordsmen admire..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yutian's eyes suddenly opened, and two rays of light suddenly flashed across like sharp swords!
Chen Yutian pointed his fingers together to form a sword, and a sharp aura surrounded his fingertips, faintly exuding a domineering sword intention.
This is the sword energy condensed by Chen Yutian's sword skills.
This is the realm where man and sword merge into one in the legend of martial arts swordsmen.
The so-called unity of man and sword means that man and sword are indistinguishable from each other, man is the sword, and the sword is the man.
After reaching this level, swordsmen can still perform advanced swordsmanship and demonstrate the unique skills of swordsmanship even without drawing a sword, because they themselves are the sword.
Even everything in the world can be used as a sword in their hands.
This is the profoundness of the unity of man and sword.
It is also the realm of swordsmanship that countless swordsmen in the martial arts dream of.
Now, after going through the internal force mutation caused by the innate dragon vein, Chen Yutian's swordsmanship has finally reached this level.
"The sword turns into a sword with a flick of the finger, and the sword becomes a sword. This state where the sword and man merge into one is really subtle..." Looking at the purple gold sword energy flowing between his fingers, a satisfied smile appeared in Chen Yu's eyes.
But suddenly, his expression suddenly froze on his face.
Because, he thought of something.
This matter is related to the silver needle found on the body yesterday.
When the silver needle was discovered, everyone thought it was a poisonous needle, but later they discovered that there was no poison on the needle, and there were no traces of poisoning on the deceased.
So what exactly is the function of the silver needle? This puzzled everyone present at the time.
Chen Yutian is no exception.
But his own unintentional words just now gave him new ideas on this issue.
"Could it be..."
Chen Yutian looked at the sword energy flowing between his fingers, and his eyes lit up slightly!
Could it be that the silver needle is the carrier of the Heart-Destroying Sword Qi?
Such a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
This idea is extremely bold, not only bold, but also extremely unbelievable. After all, in people's understanding, sword energy should be emitted by a sword.
But now Chen Yutian's idea breaks this restriction.
The sword energy carried by the silver needle... If others knew this idea, they would definitely think that he was a madman.
But Chen Yutian knew very well that this possibility was not impossible.
Since a swordsman who combines a human and a sword can use everything in the world as a sword to fight, it is not impossible for a silver needle to be used as a sword to emit sword energy.
But such an idea must have a major premise, that is, the murderer's realm has reached the realm where man and sword become one.
But this is obviously unlikely.
After all, it is extremely difficult to get into the realm of the unity of man and sword. If not, it would not become the realm of swordsmanship that all martial arts swordsmen dream of achieving.
Yue Lingxiao should not be able to enter such a realm.
But Chen Yutian thought of another possibility.
"If things are really as I thought..." Chen Yutian couldn't sit still anymore, stood up from the bed, opened the door and went straight to the private courtyard where Master Long Zun lived.
It was already bright at this time, and everyone in Jiulong Mansion had already gotten up. They were all slightly startled when they saw Chen Yutian hurriedly running to the backyard.
But Chen Yutian obviously didn't pay attention to this.
He went all the way to Long Zun's private courtyard and saw Long Zun sitting with Ice King, Yan Zun and Sword Master drinking tea together.
Seeing him approaching in a hurry, the four saints' eyes flashed with curiosity.
"Yutian, why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?" Long Zun looked at his disciple and asked curiously.
Chen Yutian shook his head slightly, and then looked at the four saints in front of him.
"Nothing happened. I just thought of a question and came here to ask Master and the three seniors for advice."
Dragon Lord and the Three Saints looked at each other, then looked at Chen Yutian, and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Oh? What's the problem?"
"I want to know, is the heart-destroying sword energy a sword technique or an internal force and mind technique?" Chen Yutian expressed the question in his mind.
After hearing this, the Four Saints' expressions suddenly changed. After looking at each other, Long Zun asked: "Why do you ask this matter?"
Chen Yutian did not answer directly, but said: "It is not convenient to disclose this matter for the time being. Master, please tell me the truth. Is the heart-destroying sword energy an internal power method?"
Hearing this, Long Zun was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't hide anything from you!"
The moment Long Zun said these words, Chen Yutian's heart suddenly surged.
"Is that really the case?"
"Yes." Long Zun nodded slightly and said, "Everyone in the martial arts world back then thought that Old Man Evil Sword's heart-destroying sword energy was an extremely evil sword technique. But when Old Man Evil Sword died in Taiyi After it was in the hands of the sect leader, the Taiyi sect leader personally revealed it, and the world knew that the so-called heart-destroying sword energy was not a sword technique at all, but a very vicious internal power technique."
Chen Yutian's expression became slightly serious, and he looked at Long Zun and said: "In other words... the so-called heart-destroying sword energy should be called heart-destroying inner power at that time, right?"
Long Zun nodded, "Yes, but the method of cultivating this kind of internal strength is too vicious, so when the internal strength list was compiled, this kind of internal strength was not included in it. In addition, the cultivation method of mind has been banned by the people of that year. The leader of Taiyi Sect destroyed it in front of his face..."
Hearing this, Chen Yutian's eyes flickered involuntarily and interrupted the master's words.
"Wait a minute... Master, you said that the method of cultivating the mind has been destroyed by the head of Taiyi Sect... If that's the case, then..."
There was a look of disbelief on his face.
Long Zun nodded slightly, his expression slightly serious.
"This is also the reason why we were shocked when we learned about the death of the deceased from Tianhan and the others. It was clear that the mental training method of the year had been destroyed by the head of Taiyi Sect in front of all the heroes in the world, but for some reason, the heart-breaking inner power was actually there. Reappearing after a hundred years... maybe the old evil sword old man back then had other plans..."
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
"Maybe... But I still want to thank Master for clarifying my disciple's doubts... Besides, I have other important matters, so I will leave first."
"Okay, you go ahead..."
After Long Zun finished speaking, Chen Yutian made a slight "please" gesture and left the backyard...
Walking out of the gate of the independent courtyard, Chen Yutian touched his chin and thought to himself as he walked.
"Things are exactly as I thought... In this case, the mystery of the silver needle is basically clear. The next thing to figure out is the weird snake-shaped mark... The function of this thing must be clarified. I I have a hunch that this mark should be involved in many important things..."
Thinking and walking, before I knew it, I had arrived at the door of Gongsun's autopsy room.
Chen Yutian looked up and smiled bitterly, how could he have come here without knowing it...
"But now that I'm here, I might as well ask how the autopsy went."
Thinking about it, Chen Yutian opened the door and walked in.
In the house, just as imagined, six corpses were neatly placed opposite the door, and four heads were placed on the table beside them. At a glance, people would be shocked!
Gongsun was right among the six corpses, carefully examining each corpse.
He was so serious and immersed that he didn't even notice that Chen Yutian opened the door and walked in.
Chen Yutian didn't intend to alarm him, but quietly watched him busy among the corpses, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't until Gongsun checked all the corpses and breathed a sigh of relief that he discovered Chen Yutian who had been standing there for a long time.
"Sir?!" Gongsun was slightly startled.
Chen Yutian smiled lightly and said, "You don't have to be so polite... Let's talk about any new discoveries..."
Gongsun's eyes dimmed slightly.
Seeing this, Chen Yutian was shocked and asked: "Is it possible that... I didn't find anything?"
Gongsun shook his head slightly and said, "That's not true. I found many old injuries on Ling Zhanwu's body, and also found a small amount of poisonous reaction in his stomach."
"Poison?" Chen Yutian frowned slightly, "The cause of Ling Zhanwu's death does not seem to be poisoning, right?"
"Yes, he died from the Heart-Destroying Sword Qi and beheading, and the poison in his body was not a highly toxic thing, but a kind of dream grass that is often added to medicinal materials to neutralize the properties of the medicine... …It’s not a deadly poison.” Gongsun explained.
Chen Yutian nodded and said: "That's it."
"It's just that these findings don't help us solve the case at all...sigh..." the prosecutor sighed slightly.
Chen Yutian smiled lightly and comforted him: "Sir, don't be discouraged. We still have two important clues. As long as we can figure out the two clues, I think the case will be solved as quickly as possible."
Gongsun sighed and said, "I hope so."
At this moment, Chen Yutian's expression changed, and then he showed a bright smile, and said: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here. I was talking about those two clues just now, now I have gained something..."
As he spoke, he took out a jade plaque from his arms.
It is the communication token that can control the Xuantian Guard team.
As soon as Gongsun understood what was going on, he asked, "Has news come from Xuantianwei?"
Chen Yutian nodded, "Yes, they have already investigated what the snake-shaped mark is."
"Oh? That student is really curious." Gongsun said.
Chen Yutian smiled and said: "Mr. Gongsun really doesn't hide anything... According to the investigation by Xuantian Guards, this mark was a secret mark when the Nine Snakes Association was not disbanded. It was used to secretly contact the Nine Snakes Association who were walking outside. Members, in addition, whenever Nine Snakes finds a target worthy of their attack, they will also leave such a mark on the wall of the target, which means to inform the members that this is a piece of fat meat that can be eaten."
Hearing this, Gongsun smiled slightly and said: "So... to the people in the Nine Snakes Association, this mark is equivalent to the mark of a treasure... After all, for bandits like them, the fat meat that can be taken is also It’s no less than a treasure trove!”
"Not bad!" Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
But the next moment, he was stunned.
"Yeah, how could I not have thought of that..." For a moment, he subconsciously muttered to himself.
Gongsun didn't know why and asked, "Sir, what are you talking about?"
"Treasure house...treasure...treasure place...Gongsun, you are so smart, why didn't I think of it?"
Chen Yutian murmured and kept repeating these words, which made Gongsun even more confused, but he was only confused for a moment before he thought of the key point.
"Sir, what you mean is...the mark on that painting?"
Chen Yutian nodded heavily.
"That's right! Mr. Gongsun, if you continue with this reasoning, the things in that painting should be self-evident!"
Gongsun was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something. His expression suddenly changed, and a very strong look of disbelief slowly came out of his mouth.
"It's unlikely..."
Chen Yutian smiled slightly: "Isn't it possible? We'll know if we see it ourselves..."
With that said, he left the autopsy room directly and walked to his room...
Gongsun hesitated slightly, then quickly followed...
A moment later, two extremely shocked exclamations suddenly came out from Chen Yutian's room, and the entire Jiulong Mansion was alarmed by them!
In the room, Chen Yutian and Gongsun looked at the scene in front of them, their eyes full of disbelief.
"This... is actually true..." Gongsun spoke with a trembling voice.
While Chen Yutian was astonished, a look of extreme joy flashed across his eyes.
"I didn't expect it to be really here..."
In front of them, among the layers of the painting, there was a piece of white paper no more than the size of a palm. There were strange lines carved on the paper, which seemed to be incomplete.
This object is exactly one of the nine fragments of the map that records the burial place of the Wind Clan’s treasure!
It is also the only remaining picture that the Futian Sect has not obtained!
