Gu Han was also waiting for him at the foot of the peak.
"Shanghai Peak probably won't ask you any more questions in a short time, or Senior Uncle Bai will be angry. And I won't ask you where you were that night. "
He said to Liu Shisui, "Because we know this has nothing to do with you."
Liu Shisui didn't tell anyone about Jing Jiu's murder, nor did he tell anyone that he went to see Jing Jiu that night.
Gu Han and Ma Hua could guess that he went to see Jing Jiu that night, but they misunderstood the reason why he didn't want to tell them.
Gu Han said, "After a period of time, something will happen. At that time, you will suffer some grievances. You should be mentally prepared."
"Got it."
Liu Shisui didn't know how long it would be. One year, two years, or even three years?
"The masters and peers in the nine peaks of Aoyama can ignore the affairs of the world, cut off their emotions, and devote all their time and energy to their own cultivation. But don't forget that we Liangwang Peak have been fighting with our enemies outside Aoyama for years, and we have exhausted all our means to ensure that they can cultivate in peace."
Gu Han looked at him and said, "Those peers have been seriously injured, and their cultivation has stopped. Some even died tragically. Compared with them, our suffering is nothing."
He was very proud, and he treated his disciples very strictly, almost harshly. But he treated Liu Shisui really well.
Because he and Guo Nanshan had high expectations of Liu Shisui.
Liu Shisui said, "I understand. I'm willing to do anything for Aoyama."
Gu Han patted his shoulder and said, "Learn well from Senior Uncle Bai at Tianguang Peak, and I'll see you at Liangwang Peak in a few days."
This sentence was obviously meaningful, and no one knew how long it would take.
…
…
"Shanghai Peak is investigating Liu Shisui. It is said that he left his cave residence that night, but no one knows where he went."
Zhao Layue looked at Jing Jiu and didn't see any worry on his face.
Jing Jiu thought to himself that this little girl really had a helper in the Nine Peaks, but he didn't know which peak they were from.
He said, "That night he went to see me."
Zhao Layue asked, "Aren't you worried?"
Jing Jiu said, "I told him that I killed that man."
Zhao Layue stared at his face, as if trying to find something from his face.
"Aren't you worried?"
It was the same question, but the words were exactly the same. The meaning she wanted to express was not exactly the same.
Jing Jiu didn't answer her question directly. He said, "Bai Rujing is protective, and Liangwang Peak is even more protective. Like you, he has natural Dao quality. The Sect Master won't allow Shanghai Peak to act recklessly."
Zhao Layue said, "Shanghai Peak's target is Liangwang Peak, and even the Sect Master. Even if they can't find anything, it's good to lose some face."
Jing Jiu didn't answer. Obviously, he was not interested in discussing this matter.
Zhao Layue said, "Are you really not interested in these things, or are you really smart?"
Jing Jiu said helplessly, "What I want to know now is why you talk more and more after coming to Shenmo Peak."
"Because I have too many questions in my heart."
Zhao Layue didn't evade this question. She said, "For example, I always thought you would ask me that question, but you never did."
Yuan Qijing said that everyone had a guilty conscience.
Jing Jiu didn't know whether Zhao Layue had a guilty conscience or not, but he knew she had many questions.
For example, why did Zuo of Bihu Peak want to kill her?
Because she was investigating something.
Why did she have to go to Shenmo Peak?
Because she was investigating something.
"All right."
Jing Jiu looked at her and asked seriously, "Why do you think the Immortal Jingyang didn't succeed in ascending?"
…
…
It was unclear whether the fog was as thick as the clouds or as thin as the fog.
The white turbulence flowed out from between the peaks, followed the terrain to the town, and gathered there.
The townspeople and the tourists had different feelings about this beautiful scenery. People were still talking around the hotpot in the restaurant.
No one could see a sword light flashing at a high speed in the clouds.
There was a wild forest in Cloudy Town. The trees were not dense, but they grew well. In the late spring, the green leaves were like strings of copper coins, swaying everywhere.
The wind blew the green trees, stirred up the dust, and the red light suddenly disappeared.
Zhao Layue put the Thoughtless Sword into her sleeve and loosened her hand. She said to Jing Jiu, "This is the place."
They were in front of a big tree. The ground was covered with fallen leaves from previous years. It looked normal and nothing unusual.
"The Underworld disciple's state was very low. It was strange that he stayed in Cloudy Town and didn't leave."
Looking at the ground, Zhao Layue said, "Even though the Three-Thousand-Mile Prohibition had been issued, it's strange that Master Meng killed him with one swing of his sword without asking. But I didn't pay much attention to it. I carried his body and came here. Then something happened the moment Master Meng ascended. "
"What happened?" Jing Jiu asked.
Zhao Layue looked up at the peaks in the clouds and said, "I heard a sigh."
Jing Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked, "A sigh?"
"Yes. That sigh was full of disappointment, as if it had endless nostalgia for the world. It might have been regret, but … there was also a feeling of incomparable satisfaction."
Zhao Layue said, "I'm sure that the Underworld disciple was dead and there was no one around. So where did that sigh come from?"
"Are you sure that you heard it?" Jing Jiu asked.
Zhao Layue said, "That sigh came directly from my mind."
Jing Jiu was silent.
"I was looking over there at the time."
Zhao Layue said while looking into the distance.
The clouds and fog were so thick that they couldn't see the peaks clearly, but Jing Jiu knew she was talking about the Shenmo Peak.
He looked over there in Silence with his hands clasped behind his back.
"Sometimes, I wonder if that sigh was made by Martial Granduncle," Ye Zichen said.
Zhao Layue said, "At first I didn't believe it, but now I'm more and more sure that since I'm Master Meng's chosen disciple and he always kept the Thoughtless Sword by my side, when he left this world, would he also leave some information for me, just like how he left the sword manual to you?"
"I think you're thinking too much."
Jing Jiu said, "I want to take a look at that Underworld disciple."
The blood-like sword light illuminated the whole forest. The incomparably sharp Thoughtless Sword soon dug a big hole in the ground, revealing the corpse of the Underworld disciple.
Several years had passed, but for some reason, the corpse didn't decompose. It still maintained its original appearance, except that it was a little shriveled, looking like a dehydrated leaf.
Jing Jiu untied the iron sword and poked the corpse, asking, "Why didn't you burn it with sword fire?"
Aoyama disciples could ignite sword fire when they entered the Knowledge Comprehension State.
Zhao Layue was an outer disciple at that time, but she should be able to do it with her talent.
Master Meng asked her to deal with the corpse because of this consideration.
"Because I felt there was something wrong at that time, so I left the corpse and put some Soul Stones in it."
Jing Jiu used the iron sword to push away the black jade-like stones beside the corpse. Looking at the deformed, wax-like face, he was silent for a long time.
This face was strange to him.
He used his Sword Discernment to check the corpse of this Underworld disciple several times without missing anything.
Then he found a problem.
There was a hole deep in the middle of this Underworld disciple's eyebrows.
That hole was very small, and it wasn't where the Underworld people stored their soul fires. So what was it used for?
Jing Jiu noticed that the hole was very smooth, and from its shape, it looked like a ginseng fruit.
It seemed that someone had lived in it for a long time.
