Chapter 10 assassinate

A short golden shadow flew out from the water hall, turned around in the air, and four blue rays of light popped out, drawing strange arcs in the air, and attacked Cao Zhonghui! Cao Zhong raised his foot and kicked, the wine case flew out, knocked down two of the blue lights, leaned up on the iron bridge, and avoided the third one, when the fourth blue light was about to sink into his waist, Yun Jisang let go Throw the wine glass and shoot down the blue mang! After the golden shadow landed on the ground, it bounced up quickly again, and was about to start the third wave of offensive, when a bright sword light flashed suddenly.The golden shadow stopped moving immediately, clucked several times, and fell to the ground wearily.

"What a move 'Yunchuxiu'! Senior sister's swordsmanship has become more and more refined." Yun Jisang praised sincerely. Zhuo Anjie smiled slightly, retracted her sword slowly, and looked at the golden shadow on the ground. It was a golden puppet, only seven inches high.At this moment, it has been cut in half by her, and the delicate spring parts inside the body can be seen from the break. Yun Jisang was also quite surprised.Such a small puppet has such a great lethality. It seems that the strength of the puppet gate is stronger than he imagined. "This, this is my golden arhat!" Cao Bian exclaimed suddenly.

"What? Didn't you say that the golden arhat was stolen by the fourth junior brother? How could he come here to assassinate the master? Tell me, what is going on?" Luo Jiankong asked angrily. "I... how do I know?" Cao Bian panicked at first, then calmed down, and retorted loudly, "The golden arhat was stolen, you all know it! As for why you are here, you should ask the second senior brother! The assassin All the tricks come from this wreck of his!" Luo Jiankong stared at Linghu Tiangong again: "Junior Brother Linghu?" "Me? I have nothing to say." Linghu Tiangong's mouth twitched slightly.

"It's not the second senior brother, what he installed is a flying puppet, I saw it with my own eyes!" Unexpectedly by Yun Jisang, Gu Yinglan, who has always been quiet and shy, speaks out to defend Linghu Tiangong. "Junior Sister, what I saw with my own eyes may not be true! Maybe Second Senior Brother secretly replaced the puppet while you were away?" Hong Kuoji gloated and interjected. "Junior sister, when did you see the second junior brother set up a puppet?" Luo Jiankong asked. "This... is almost in the future..." "It's the You hour now, two full hours have passed! How long does it take to change a puppet?" Cao Bian stared at Linghu Tiangong viciously.

"So, the one who can replace my puppet might be you, Young Clan Master..." Linghu Tiangong placed a three-inch-tall clown puppet on his desk, "Or, Fifth Junior Brother..." There was another smiling Maitreya with a sword growing on his belly, "Or, it's you, senior brother?" The third puppet was a double-faced monster with a smiling face and a crying face, which looked extremely strange. . "You... what do you mean! How could I harm Master?" Luo Jiankong trembled all over, pointing at Linghu Tiangong. "Enough!" Cao Zhong stood up slowly, his face livid, Wang Biyan wanted to go up to bandage his wound, but he pushed him away, "I'm not dead yet!"

"Father..." Cao Bian panicked. "Master!" Luo Jiankong's expression was agitated and his whole body trembled. "The disciple is incompetent and cannot protect the master well, please punish the master!" Hong Kuoji said regretfully. "..." Linghu Tiangong still lowered his head, not saying a word, unable to see his expression clearly. Gu Yinglan glanced at Linghu Tiangong, then lowered her head in awe. Cao Zhong's gaze was like a blade, and he slashed at these few of his disciples.Blood dripped from the broken ear and tickled on his shoulder, making him look hideous and bloody.

Mei Zhaoxue came over, tore open the front of his clothes, and silently bandaged his wound. Cao Zhong took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Young Xia Yun and Nv Xia Zhuo, I wanted to entertain you two with a feast tonight, but who would have thought that such a disappointing thing would make you laugh at me?" Yun Jisang smiled on his forehead: "Master Cao is very polite." Cao Zhong said in a deep voice: "Shaoxia Yun is as wise as the sea, and investigates cases like a god. He even solved the case of a male and female double evil by coincidence. I wonder if Shaoxia Yun can help me find this assassin?"

Yun Jisang frowned slightly upon hearing this.The assassination tonight is very likely to be a dispute within the puppet sect. I and my senior sister are just guests, so it may not be the best policy to get involved in such a dispute.Thinking of this, he glanced sideways at Zhuo Anjie. "The head of the sect is also helpless. If you can help, junior brother, please help." As he said, Zhuo Anjie's eyes fell on his empty right sleeve. Indeed, I have come to ask for help, how can I just ignore other people's request?Yun Jisang smiled wryly in his heart, and said in his mouth: "If that's the case, then I'm overstepping." After finishing speaking, he walked over, picked up the golden arhat, and looked at it carefully.

There are three small holes in the palms of Luohan's hands, presumably the silver needles are shot from here.The chest can also be opened and closed, and there are still a few poisoned butterfly darts left in the chest cavity.Yun Jisang handed the golden arhat to Zhuo Anjie, wrapped it in a handkerchief, pulled out one, and smelled it on the tip of his nose: "Sweet but not fishy, ​​it is the poison of ghost trees. Master Cao, has anyone in your family used it before?" Is this kind of strange poison?" Cao Zhong murmured: "Our sect is not good at using poison, but if there is anyone who knows how to use poison..." He suddenly raised his head and looked at Luo Jiankong.

Luo Yankong looked panicked: "Master, although this disciple has sold poison quenching crossbows, they are all common poisons, and this kind of strange poison that seals the throat with blood has never been seen before." "Although the poison of the ghost tree is seen with blood sealing the throat, it is not uncommon. Anyone in the Jianghu can easily find it. The reason why the assassin chose this poison is that he does not want to leave clues." Yun Jisang looked at the hand The butterfly dart in his heart moved, and he asked, "Is this golden arhat always equipped with hidden weapons?"

As soon as this remark came out, Cao Zhong's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself: Yun Jisang is really extraordinary, and he asked the key point in one word. "No!" Cao Bian replied without hesitation, "After the golden arhat is fully wound up, as long as the lower mechanism is triggered, the hidden weapon will be released. To be careful, the hidden weapon is not loaded at ordinary times, and it is stored separately." "So, the hidden weapon was also stolen at the same time as the Golden Arhat?" Cao Bian hesitated and said: "This... I didn't check it. But these hidden weapons are all specially made, and there is only one set, and they are usually kept in my bedroom." "Does anyone else know how to load these hidden weapons?" Yun Jisang asked again. Cao Bian nodded and said: "The filling method is not difficult, and all disciples in this sect know it." "Then have these hidden weapons ever been poisoned?" Cao Bian shook his head, and looked at his father with a little fear. "In this way, the murderer should first steal the golden arhat and the hidden weapon, then use the foreign poison, and finally steal the beam and put it on the wooden boat, and use it to assassinate Master Cao..." Yun Jisang murmured, thumb and The middle finger rubbed lightly. Suddenly, he raised his head and asked Linghu Tiangong: "Brother Linghu, you said that there was a flying puppet in the water palace, how did you inspire this puppet?" Linghu Tiangong still lowered his head: "This is easy, just touch the heart of the foot with the news..." "Are all puppets like this?" Gu Yinglan explained: "Generally speaking, there are only two trigger points for the puppets in our sect, one of which is behind the puppet's head, and the second senior brother's flying puppet is the same as Cao junior brother's golden arhat, the trigger point is the puppet. heart." The murderer is familiar with the puppet sect, so it seems that he must be a disciple of the puppet sect.Yun Jisang shook his head, and was about to ask again, when a high-pitched clear bell sounded, straight into the sky. Everyone's expressions changed. "This... this is..." Luo Jiankong said in surprise. With a flash, Cao Zhong jumped out of the hall.Others followed suit one after another, only Mei Zhaoxue and Linghu Tiangong remained calm as before. Zhuo Anjie frowned and asked, "What happened?" "It's the Yuxi Bell!" Linghu Tiangong said indifferently, "This bell will only ring when there is a major change in our sect. It seems that someone has come to the gate." Yun Jisang and Zhuo Anjie looked at each other, they both left the table and followed them out.
