Chapter 119: The Moon is Cleared and the Murderer Appears
Lingxiang was thinking about something when she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and saw that it was Xinyi. Xinyi just nodded at her, and she immediately understood.
"So, Bai Wuchang wants to know why I can't make the elixir." Lingxiang said, walking to the table and sitting down.
"In fact, there is nothing to hide. The reason why I was able to refine the life-extending pill was because I had a magic weapon with me at that time. However, now this magic weapon is missing, so I can't refine a superior pill."
Xinyi was extremely surprised. She wondered how Lingxiang, with only the foundation-building level, could refine top-grade elixirs. It turned out that it was because of the magic weapon.
"You just replied to him like this. I think his master also knows about it."
"Even if I tell him this, aren't you afraid that he will find your magic weapon and secretly take it to the Demon Lord?"
Ling Xiang chuckled when she heard that and said, "I was afraid that he couldn't find it. Since the magic weapon left me, I have searched for it for many years but couldn't find it. If he really found it, I can come to him and ask for it, right?"
Xin Yi was very confused when she heard this: "What do you mean?"
"Now that magic weapon is only available to me, it will be useless even if he steals it. He will have to come back to me in the end, and that's assuming he can find it."
When she said this, Lingxiang suddenly remembered the call she heard in the chaos when she was injured a few days ago.
If that is Linglong's spirit, then it must be imprisoned in Yunfeng now!
But where can it be at Prison Cloud Peak...
……
After the selection of inner disciples, only Plum Garden and Bamboo Garden are still occupied by people among the four courtyards. Most of these disciples stayed because they were unwilling to be eliminated. Even though they cannot practice the inner sect skills, it is an honor for them to be able to hone their skills in the Yuanqing Sect.
However, the two previous murders had caused panic among the outer disciples. But since A Yuan came, things were very different.
A Yuan has become more and more familiar with the outer disciples these days. He looks like a child and is eloquent, which makes several female disciples very happy. They will come to Bamboo Garden to find him from time to time and give him small things.
The male disciples saw that the child was so thin and had a sweet mouth, and they would call him "brother" whenever they saw him. Even a seven-foot-tall man was convinced by his childish words.
There is only one exception...
Yuan seemed unwilling to have too much contact with him. Even if they met head-on, he would avoid him as if he was afraid of him.
That person was Hui Wu.
Everyone was also puzzled. Although Hui Wu had a strange temper and didn't want to be close to people, he was not scary enough. Why would little Yuan be afraid of him?
……
"You doubt him?"
"That's right. Logically speaking, both the Stepping Clouds Step and the Covering Water Sword Technique are Yuanqing techniques, and they can only be practiced after refining Qi. But this person was able to use such moves in his first martial arts performance, which is really suspicious. This person has a stubborn face, and I'm afraid he is someone who is easily led astray."
……
That night, A Yuan got up alone. After coming out of the west room, for some reason, he did not go back into the room, but walked towards the yard.
"Oh, the moon is as dark as water tonight, it's so beautiful!"
A Yuan was walking alone, which made Hanwu Guanxu and the other man in the dark very confused - what was wrong with this kid in the middle of the night?
At this time, Guanxu suddenly felt something was wrong and couldn't help asking Hanwu:
"How can a young boy who grew up in a dilapidated temple and begged for a living say something like 'the moon sinks like water'?" Hanwu was immediately alert when he heard it, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Guanxu.
"Wait a minute, it won't be too late to wait and see."
I saw A Yuan wandering around the yard, talking to himself from time to time, as if he was sleepwalking.
A child wearing only a middle-length coat in this chilly night, yet able to speak freely and not seeming to feel the cold at all, was indeed extremely suspicious, and the eldest brother's suspicion turned out to be correct.
Guanxu was about to step forward and grab A Yuan, but was stopped by Hanwu again this time. He gestured to the courtyard to be quiet.
I saw a person appeared behind Yuan, approaching him quietly. Yuan didn't seem to notice him, and squatted in front of the fence, seeming to tease something.
Qinghui stretched the shadow of the person behind him extremely long, but A Yuan was still squatting there unaware of it. Seeing that the person was about to approach, even Hanbrian Guanxu, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but move.
At this moment, A Yuan suddenly stood up and turned around, holding a huge horned beetle in his hand.
Both the person approaching and Hanwu Guanxu hiding in the dark were stunned - how could there be a horn beetle in this high mountain in the middle of winter? Moreover, this horn beetle was as big as a bowl, and it was never seen even in the middle of summer.
At this time, the moonlight was shining, illuminating the people coming clearly.
It’s Huiwu indeed!
When Yuan saw Huiwu, he immediately became nervous: "Brother Huiwu...it's so late...what are you doing out here?"
After hearing this, Hui Wu slowly approached Yuan with his hands behind his back: "Little Yuan, why did you run out in the middle of the night?"
"I...I..." A Yuan kept backing away, looking very scared.
But Hui Wu continued to press on: "Why does Xiao Yuan always ignore me? Did the young elder say something to you?"
But Yuan had nowhere to retreat. He squatted down in fear and said tremblingly: "Elder Fu... Elder Fu Cang said..."
"What did she say?"
"She said that someone had died in the courtyard before, and that he was murdered. The murderer... the murderer was..."
"Who is the murderer?"
Hui Wu stood in front of A Yuan. Hidden behind him was a magic blade, which looked cold and sinister under the moonlight in the middle of the night!
Hanwu Guanxu finally saw clearly what was in his hand and was about to make a move when he heard a scream from Huiwu in the yard. Looking closely, he saw Huiwu lying on the ground, scratching his face. On his face was the horned beetle that A Yuan had just caught.
At this time, Yuan stood aside, without any fear on his face. He just said calmly:
"The murderer is you, Huiwu!"
These words were so loud and clear that Hanwu Guanxu was so shocked that he stood in the dark for a moment without moving.
Ah Yuan picked up the magic blade beside Hui Wu, turned his head and said to the two people in the dark: "Even if he has been hiding for a long time, he has seen what he should have seen, and the evidence is irrefutable. If you don't come out, do you want to collect his body?"
Hanwu Guanxu finally came back to his senses and hurriedly jumped into the yard, but when they got close to Huiwu, they were stunned again - they had clearly seen the horned beetle on Huiwu's face just now, but now there was nothing, and his face was scratched beyond recognition by himself.
Hanwu quickly made hand gestures to restrain Huiwu and stop him from hurting himself. Guanxu looked back and there was no trace of Yuan behind him. There was only a magic blade stuck in the ground, glowing green under the moonlight, which made people feel cold!
They were both shocked. Who on earth was this Yuan? How could he be able to confuse them?
Hui Wu seemed to have gotten rid of the illusion at this time. When he saw Hanwu Guanxu, he actually laughed. He laughed so hard that he was hoarse and his face was hideous, which was extremely weird in the middle of the night.
Seeing this, Guanxu quickly took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into his mouth, then said to Hanwu:
"Go and report to the head master immediately and tell him that the murderer has been caught. I will take him to Wuji Palace."
