Chapter 24 The twenty-fourth round of conferring the head of a traitor

Li Xun Huan sighed and said: "You are lucky, the people he poisoned to death are really ugly." In fact, no matter who is poisoned to death, it will not look good. Xinshu didn't say anything. Li Xunhuan closed his eyes, and said slowly: "Many years ago, I once saw a person who was poisoned to death by him. The person was poisoned for only a moment, and his whole body was already black. I went out for a walk, and went back to have a look. All the flesh on the human body has disappeared, and it has turned into a skeleton—a pitch-black skeleton!" Xinshu stared at Xinmei's body, and said in a low voice: "But now the second senior brother has been poisoned for several days..."

Li Xun Huan suddenly opened his eyes and said, "That's right, he has been poisoned for several days, but he hasn't undergone such a terrible change, do you know why?" Heart Tree shook his head. Li Xun Huan said word by word: "It's only because he has been poisoned by another extremely powerful poison!" Xinshu said: "You...you mean..." Li Xun Huan said: "Although he was poisoned by the 'Five Poison Crystals' of the Bliss Boy, the poison was not deep, and he was forced by his internal force, so the poison did not show up until he came back."

Xinshu said: "Exactly." Li Xun Huan said: "In order to prevent him from revealing the secret, the murderer wanted him to die soon. He was afraid that the poison in him would not be deep enough, so he gave him another extremely powerful poison." Xinshu said: "There are many ways to kill people, why does he still use poison?" Li Xun Huan said: "Because no matter what method is used to kill people, it will inevitably leave traces. Since everyone already knows that Master Xinmei has been poisoned, he can only avoid others' suspicion by using poison again."

Xinshu sighed: "That's right, everyone will believe that the second senior brother must have been poisoned to death by the boy of Ji Le, and will never suspect him again." Li Xun Huan said coldly: "Although this person is very scheming, it's a pity that he still forgot one thing." Xinshu said: "What's the matter?" Li Xun Huan said: "He forgot that poison must be restrained, because the poison they inflicted is both strong and heavy, and it restrained the poison of the 'Five Poison Crystal', so Master Xinmei's remains have not undergone such a terrible change until now. !"

Xinshu pondered for a while, then nodded, and said: "I understand what you mean, but who the poisoner is, you and I still don't know." Li Xunhuan's eyes flickered, and he said, "After Master Xinmei came back, did you take anything?" Xinshu said: "I only took a bowl of medicine." Li Xun Huan asked, "Who fed him the medicine?" Xinshu said: "The medicine was formulated by the seventh brother's heart, but the people who fed him the medicine were the fourth brother Xinzhu and the sixth brother Xindeng." He sighed for a long time, then continued sadly: "So these three people have a chance to poison."

Li Xunhuan said slowly: "Poisons in the world can be broadly divided into two categories. Although the first category of poisons is colorful and odorless, it can cause the poisoned person to die miserably. People's lives, and the intention to demonstrate to people." Xinshu said: "The 'Five Poison Crystals' naturally belong to this type of poison." Li Xun Huan said: "Exactly." He continued: "The second type of poison may not be colorless and odorless, but it can make the person who was poisoned die without any abnormalities, and even make it impossible for others to see that he was poisoned to death."

Xinshu said: "You said that the murderer used this kind of poison?" Li Xun Huan nodded and sighed: "Because the two types of poison are very different, they can restrain each other. Although the first type of poison is terrible, the second type of poison is even more sinister. There are not many people in the world who can use this type of poison." not much." He stared at Xinshu with piercing eyes, and said, "How many people in Shaolin sect are good at using poison?" Xinshu took a deep breath and said, "This..." Li Xun Huan said: "The leader of the Shaolin Temple is Jianghu, the martial arts is authentic, and the Shaolin disciples are also proud of it. No one will be willing to learn this kind of method, right?"

Xinshu resolutely said: "Among the seventy-two masterpieces of Shaolin, there is absolutely no such word 'poison'!" Li Xun Huan said: "Master Heart Candle and Master Heart Lamp..." Xinshu hurriedly said: "Senior brother 4 lost his hair when he was nine years old, and brother 6 entered Buddhism when he was a baby. I'm afraid the two of them have never seen poison in their lives!" Li Xun Huan smiled lightly and said, "So, who did the poisoning?" Xinshu suddenly said: "Are you talking about the seventh junior brother's favorite?"

Li Xunhuan stopped talking. Master Xin Chong was a monk halfway through, and brought art as a teacher. Before entering Shaolin, he was known as "Seven Skillful Scholar", and he was a master of poisoning! Xin Shu was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head, staring at Li Xun Huan. Li Xunhuan was also staring at him... There is a game of chess in the kiosk. Bai Xiaosheng was tapping the chess pieces lightly, and pieces of snowflakes fell down with the sound of his tapping, and then fell into the boundless snow. "In the middle of the night, there are no guests, so I knock on the chess pieces and drop the lanterns."

How leisurely and unrestrained this state is, but now, the world seems to be full of killing intent, and everyone's face is more serious than the sky. Heart Lake Master, Heart Candle, Heart Lamp, and Heart Beloved are also here. Ah Fei crouched under the columns of the small pavilion, unable to even raise his head. Master Xinhu looked at him, his eyebrows were still unfurled, and he said slowly, "Look... will Li Xunhuan come out?" Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "There is no doubt about it." Master Xinhu said: "Could it be that a person like him sacrificed himself to make friends?"

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "It's called 'Thieves have their own way'." Master Xinhu let out a long sigh and said, "I hope so..." His voice suddenly stopped, as if he was suddenly frozen in the cold wind. He has seen the heart tree. Xinshu has entered the yard, but there is only one person. Xinhu greeted him first, and said, "Are you alright?" He didn't ask about anything else, he first asked about the well-being of the heart tree, after all he was worthy of being the head teacher of Shaolin. Xin Shu folded his palms together and said, "Thank you for your concern, senior brother. This disciple was lucky enough to escape this catastrophe." Xin Chong also rushed over and said sharply, "Where's Li Xun Huan?" Xinshu said lightly: "He went to learn the scriptures." Xin Chong said: "Learn the scriptures? What scriptures are you looking for?" Xinshu said: "The scriptures that were stolen from the Yijing Pavilion." The corner of Xin Chong's mouth twitched for a while, and he sneered, "It's really him who stole the scriptures! Senior brother, why don't you let him go?" Xinshu said: "It's just because he is not the one who stole the scriptures!" He fixed his eyes on Xin Chong, and said in a deep voice: "The person who stole the scriptures is the murderer who murdered the second senior brother, because the second senior brother had discovered the secret of this person, he had no choice but to kill the second senior brother to silence him, but this person is not Li Xunhuan! " Xin Chong said, "Who is it if it's not Li Xun Huan?" A cold light flashed in Xinshu's eyes, and he said sharply, "It's you!" The corner of Xin Chong's mouth twitched again, but his face sank, and he said coldly: "How could Brother Fifth say such a thing, I really don't understand." Xinshu said coldly: "If you don't understand, who else will understand?" Xin Chong turned to Master Xinhu, bowed and said, "This matter should be decided by the senior brother, the disciple has nothing to say." Xinzhu, Xindeng and Bai Xiaosheng were already moved when they heard this. Master Xinhu also couldn't help changing his expression: "Second Junior Brother was obviously murdered by Li Xun Huan, why did you wash him off?" Bai Xiaosheng said leisurely: "If I remember correctly, Senior Brother Xinshu and Li Xunhuan seem to be on the same list." Xin Chong said coldly: "Fifth Senior Brother is probably also poisoned by Li Xun Huan." Xinshu ignored them at all, and said in a deep voice: "The poison that really killed the second senior brother was not the 'Five Poison Crystals' of the Bliss Boy..." Xin Chong rushed to say: "Brother, how would you know?" Xinshu sneered and said, "Do you really think that what you did is really unknown? Did you forget that the second senior brother still had this book when he died?" He raised his hand, and what he was holding was Master Xinmei's "Reading Classics". Xinhu frowned and said, "What is this?" Xinshu said: "Second senior brother had already discovered the traitor who stole the scriptures before he left, but he was kind-hearted, and he was unwilling to reveal the name of the traitor until he had confirmed it, but he had already written it down here. In this 'Reading Classics', just in case something happens to him, it's better to keep it as evidence." Master Xinhu moved and said, "Is this really the case?" Xin Chong rushed to say: "If it really has my name on it, I will be willing..." Xinshu sneered and said: "What are you willing to do?...Although you have torn off the last page, how do you know that the second senior brother didn't write it down on the other page?" Xin Chong's body trembled, and he fell to the ground suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "Fifth senior brother actually colluded with outsiders, causing this disciple to suffer unfair injustice, please senior senior brother to clarify." Master Xinhu pondered, and looked at Bai Xiaosheng. Bai Xiaosheng said slowly: "Although the words on the white paper are written in black, everyone can write them." Xin Chong said: "That's right, even if my name is written in Second Senior Brother's 'Reading Classics', it may not be written by Second Senior Brother himself." Bai Xiaosheng said indifferently: "As far as I know, Xiao Li Tanhua has both literary and military skills, Han Suyanliu, Lanting Wei stele, and famous calligraphy, but he has worked hard to copy them." Xin Chong said: "That's right, if he wants to learn someone's handwriting, it's naturally very easy." Master Xinhu lowered his face, stared at Xinshu and said, "You are usually cautious, why are you negligent this time?" Xinshu's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Brother, if you think this evidence is not enough, there is another evidence." Master Xinhu said: "You just say it." Xinshu said: "The 'Dharma Yijin Jing' originally hidden in the second brother's room has also been stolen." Master Xinhu moved, "Oh?" Xinshu said: "Li Tanhua is sure that this scripture must not be sent away in time, and must still be hidden in the favorite room, so the disciple has ordered Yichen and Yiyin on duty to monitor him and go to learn the scriptures together." Heart Pet suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Senior brother, don't listen to him, he really wants to frame him!" He shouted wildly, and the person rushed out. Master Xinhu frowned, stretched out his robe sleeves, and the person also swept up, but he didn't stop him, but just followed behind him without hesitation. Xin Chong's body was up and down, and he had returned to his own meditation room. The door was indeed open. Xin Chong rushed in, split the wooden cabinet with one palm, and there was a sandwich in the wooden cabinet. Yi Jin Jing is really there. Xin Chong sternly said: "This scripture is in the second senior brother's room, they deliberately put it here to frame it, but this method of planting it has been used hundreds of years ago, the senior brother's eyes are like lightning. , how could I be bullied by Xiao Xiao like you!" After he finished speaking, Xinhu said coldly: "Even if we are planted, how do you know that we will put this scripture in this wooden cabinet? Why don't you look for it elsewhere? As soon as you come in, go straight to This wooden cabinet?" Xin Chong was stunned suddenly, sweating profusely. Xinshu let out a long breath, and said: "Li Tanhua has already figured out that only by using this method, can he not ask himself." Only one person smiled and said: "But my method is really very risky. If he doesn't fall for it, then no one will be able to make him confess!" Amidst the laughter, Li Xunhuan suddenly appeared. Master Xinhu heaved a long sigh and put his palms together in salute. Li Xun Huan smiled slightly and cupped his fists. There are a lot of words in this bow and salute, so there is no need to say anything else. Xin Chong backed away step by step, but the heart candle and the heart lamp had blocked his way, both of them had dignified faces, standing upright like a mountain. Master Xinhu said sadly: "Shan E, Shaolin treats you well, why did you do such a thing today?" Shan E is just Xin Chong's common name, Xinhu called him like this, it is tantamount to driving him out of the gate, and no longer recognizes him as a disciple of Shaolin Buddhism. Shan E was sweating profusely, and said in a trembling voice, "Disciple...disciple realizes his mistake." He suddenly threw himself to the ground, and said: "But the disciple was also instigated and seduced by others, so he was momentarily confused." Master Xinhu sternly said, "Who did you instigate?" Bai Xiaosheng suddenly said: "I can guess one or two who ordered him." Master Xinhu said: "Please advise, sir." Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "That's him!" Involuntarily, everyone followed his gaze to look over, but saw nothing, the bamboo leaves rustled outside the window, and the wind was getting stronger again. When he turned around, Master Xinhu's complexion had changed. Bai Xiaosheng's hand was already on his back, his iron fingers were like hooks, and he had already locked his "Lifeng", "Tianting", "Fufen", "Pohu", four big holes! Xinshu's complexion also changed, and he said in amazement: "The person who ordered him turned out to be you!" Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "I just want to borrow the Buddhist scriptures from your monastery to read. Who knew you were so stingy?" Master Xinhu sighed: "I have known you for decades, I don't want you to treat me like this?" Bai Xiaosheng unexpectedly also sighed, and said: "I didn't want to treat you like this, but Shan E decided to drag me into the water, if I didn't help him, how could he let me go?" Master Xinhu said: "It's a pity that no one can save him!" Shan E had already jumped up, picked up the Yi Jin Jing with one hand, and said with a smirk: "Yes, no one can save me, only you can save me, now I want you to send us down the mountain... If you want you If the head of the sect is alive, it is best for no one to act rashly!" Although Xinshu and the others were trembling with anger, none of them dared to make a move. Xinhu scolded: "If you put Shaolin as the most important thing, then don't bother me! You don't take down this traitor!" Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "No matter what you say, they won't make fun of your life. One life of the head of the Shaolin sect is much more valuable than a thousand lives of others." When the word "many" came out, the smile on his face froze! The knife flashed! Xiao Li's flying knife has been shot! The knife has flown into his throat! No one saw how Xiao Li Feidao made the move! Bai Xiaosheng has always used Master Xinhu as a shield, his throat is next to Xinhu's throat, only a small half of his throat is exposed. His throat can hide behind Heart Lake's throat at any time. In this case, no one dared to make a move. But with a flash of the knife, faster than lightning, Xiao Li's flying knife was already at his throat! The Heart Tree, Heart Candle, and Heart Lamp immediately rushed over to protect the Heart Lake. Bai Xiaosheng's eyes protruded angrily, staring at Li Xun Huan, the muscles on his face twitched, full of fear, suspicion and disbelief... He didn't seem to believe that Li Xun Huan's throwing knife would pierce his throat. His lips were still moving, and there was a rattling sound in his throat. Although he couldn't speak, it was obvious from the movement of his lips that he wanted to say something. "I was wrong... I was wrong..." Yes, Bai Xiaosheng "knows everything, knows everything", only one thing is wrong. Xiao Li Feidao was much faster than he imagined! Bai Xiaosheng fell down. Li Xun Huan sighed, and murmured: "Bai Xiaosheng wrote the weapon manual and commented on the weapons in the world. He can be called a wise man in martial arts, but in the end he would inevitably die under the weapons he reviewed." Master Xinhu put his palms together again, with shame on his face, he said: "The old monk is also wrong." His face suddenly changed again, and he lost his voice: "What about the traitor?" Shan E took advantage of the momentary confusion and escaped. A person like Shan E would never miss an opportunity. Not only did he react quickly, but he also moved quickly. With two ups and downs, he already swept out of the yard. Shaolin disciples don't know about this matter yet, even if they saw him, they would never stop him, not to mention that this is the first master's room, Shaolin disciples dare not break in at will. When he passed the small pavilion, Ah Fei was struggling to get up—although the acupuncture techniques of Bai Xiaosheng and Shan E were heavy, they still sometimes failed. When Shan E saw him, his eyes immediately showed a fierce light. He was about to vent all the hatred in his heart on A Fei. Ah Fei was tortured to the brink of death, how could he have the strength to resist. To kill such a person, of course, it doesn't take much effort. Shan E didn't say anything, the iron fist was struck, and the "Shaolin Divine Fist" became famous all over the world. Shan E has been in Shaolin for more than ten years, and his kung fu has not been practiced in vain. This punch is full of air, and the force of the move is strong. If you want to take someone's life, it is like picking something out of a bag - Shan E has already calculated that he will have time to escape after killing him. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ah Fei's hand also suddenly stabbed out. His hand came later, but arrived first! Shan E felt his throat suddenly become cold, with tingling pain in the cold, and his breathing stopped suddenly, as if being strangled by a magic hand! The muscles on his face also twisted, full of fear and disbelief... He already knew how fast this young man was. But what did the boy use to stab his throat? He will never know the answer. Shan E also fell down. Ah Fei was leaning against the railing, panting. When Xinhu and the others came, they were also very surprised, because no one could have imagined that this young man could still put a single osprey to death in such a weak state! Shan E's throat was still bleeding. An icicle pierced his throat like a sword. The ice has started to melt. There are countless icicles knotted under the railing, and this young man took the life of the favorite of one of the seven masters of Shaolin with only one icicle! Master Xinhu looked at his pale and bleeding face, and didn't know what to say. Ah Fei didn't even glance at them, he just stared at Li Xun Huan, and then a smile gradually appeared on his face! Li Xunhuan was also smiling. Master Xinhu's voice was dull, he folded his palms together and said, "Two old monks please come..." A Fei abruptly turned his head, interrupted him, and said, "Is Li Xun Huan the Plum Blossom Bandit?" Master Xinhu bowed his head and said, "No." Ah Fei said, "Am I the Plum Blossom Pirate?" Master Xinhu sighed: "Tanyue is not either." Ah Fei said: "Since it's not, can we go?" Master Xinhu forced a smile and said: "Of course it is possible, but Tanyue...Tanyue seems to be inconvenient to move, why not invite..." Ah Fei interrupted him again, and said coldly: "You don't need to worry about it, don't say that I can still walk. Even if I climb, I have to climb down the mountain!" The heads of Xinzhu and Xindeng also hung down. For hundreds of years, no one in the world dared to be so rude to the head of Shaolin. Why don't they feel filled with grief and indignation now! But now they can only be patient! A Fei had already held Li Xun Huan's hand and strode out. As soon as he walked into the cold wind, his chest straightened up again—this boy's body was like iron, no matter how much torture he was able to make him bend down! Li Xun Huan looked back and said with a smile: "Let's say goodbye today, we may see you again someday, master please forgive us for being rude." Xinshu said: "I'll give you a ride." Li Xun Huan smiled and said: "If you don't send it, you don't. Why should you be polite, master?" Xinshu also said with a smile: "Since you don't want to give it away, why don't you give it away? Why should Tanyue be polite?" It wasn't until they were far away that Master Xinhu let out a long sigh. Although he didn't say anything, "not speaking" was more uncomfortable than "speaking". Xinzhu suddenly said: "Brother, maybe you shouldn't let them go." Xinhu's face sank, and he said, "Why not?" Xinzhu said: "Although Li Xunhuan did not steal the scriptures, nor was he the murderer who killed the second senior brother, but this still does not prove that he is not the plum blossom thief!" Master Xinhu said: "How do you prove it?" Xin Zhu said: "Unless he can steal the real plum blossom." Master Xinhu sighed again, and said: "I think he will definitely find it, and he will definitely send it here. We don't need to care about it, only the six scriptures..." Although the people who stole the scriptures have found them, they have already given away the previous six scriptures. Who have they given these six scriptures to? Is there another mastermind behind this incident? Li Xun Huan didn't like to walk, especially in the snow and ice, but now he had to walk, the cold wind was like a knife, how could there be any carriages and horses around? But Ah Fei is used to walking. Walking is work for others, but it is a kind of rest for him. Every time he walks, his energy seems to recover a little. He never walked too fast, nor too slow, as if stepping on a silent rhythm, every muscle in his body was relaxed. They have told all about their experiences, now Li Xunhuan is deep in thought, looking into the distance, he said slowly: "You said you are not the Plum Blossom Bandit, and neither am I, so who is the Plum Blossom Bandit?" A Fei's eyes were also in the distance, and said: "The Plum Blossom Pirate is dead." Li Xun Huan sighed, and said, "Is he really dead? The person you killed was really the Plum Blossom Bandit?" Ah Fei was silent, his eyes were blank. Li Xun Huan suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know if you have ever thought that the Plum Blossom Bandit might not be a man." Ah Fei said, "What is it if you're not a man?" Li Xun Huan said with a smile, "If it's not a man, it's a woman."
