C683 Brother Took the Sword
Mei Xiaotian said, "What Fourth Younger Brother said is right. Look, this door, this statue, and this offering table were all smashed and destroyed by someone. It's just that it has been too long, and we haven't been able to find any valuable clues."
Looking at the two round objects beside the collapsed offering table in the hall, Mei Xiaoren said, "Strange, why are there two incense burners, one big and one small?" As he spoke, Mei Xiaoren extended a leg and lightly kicked the round object that seemed to be an incense burner. The force of the round object instantly scattered a pile of moist and soft soil. It rolled to the side and formed a shallow ravine on the ground.
Mei Xiaotian and the other three were not afraid when they saw the round object. However, they could not help but feel a chill run down their spines. In an instant, it disappeared from their backs, but they could not help but feel a sense of dread. It was like mercury was flowing all over his body. It turned out that the round thing was not an incense burner. It was a human head that had not completely rotted yet!
The human head rolled all the way over, passing through a small gap. As the dust shook, a dark object suddenly appeared, and Mei Xiaoren hurriedly rushed over to grab it. He brushed away the dust on it, and after looking at it, he called out, "Big brother, this is Fourth Younger Brother's sword!" As he spoke, Mei Xiaoren pulled out his sword and carefully looked at it.
Mei Xiaotian took the sword and looked at it. "Yes, it is Fourth Younger Brother's sword!" Mei Xiaotian put the sword back into the sheath and carefully tested the dust on the sheath with his palm. He threw the sword to Du Qi and reminded him at the same time, "Fourth Younger Brother, take the sword. Take good care of it now. Don't lose it again!"
Du Qi did not like to use weapons, but now he was pretending to be Hong Lingyue. He held a sword in his hand, so he hurriedly took the sword in his hand. He felt that the weight of the sword was moderate. The length of the sword was appropriate. He drew the sword out of its scabbard and saw the brilliant light of the sword. The cold air was dense, and he could not help but praise, "Good sword! Please guide me, big brother!"
As he spoke, Du Qi suddenly waved the sword in his hand and drew a beautiful sword flower in front of him. Immediately after, he stabbed out with the sword. At the same time, he took a step forward and turned around, shaking his wrist. The long sword turned back. Just as the sword reached his side, it was suddenly thrust out. Before the sword energy could be released, Du Qi took a step backwards and the tip of the sword turned around and stabbed behind him. The handle of the sword was pushed to the side. He was using the "Demon Subduing Sword Technique" that he had learned a few days ago but had never used before.
Although Du Qi had memorized the sword technique, he had never used it before. At this moment, he was not familiar with using it. In addition, he had not used his inner strength. Each move was light and did not have any strength. It did not look like he was practicing sword skills. He was just casually waving his sword, but the three brothers of Mei family couldn't help but be shocked when they saw it. Mei Xiaotian said, "Where did Fourth Younger Brother learn this sword technique from?"
Du Qi heard him and immediately held his sword in front of his chest to keep the sword technique. There was no pattern to it at all, but he said seriously, "This little brother's' Demon Subduing Sword 'is based on the manual. What do you think, big brother?"
Mei Xiaotian said again, "Where did Fourth Younger Brother get this Demon Subduing Sword Technique from?"
Du Qi saw that there was no hesitation in asking, so he thought about it and suddenly took out the Demon Subduing Sword Technique from his bag and handed it to Mei Xiaotian. At the same time, he asked, "Big brother, do you know this?"
Mei Xiaotian took the Demon Subduing Sword Technique and looked at it. He could not help but sigh, "This is Fourth Younger Brother's. Sigh! Unfortunately, things are different from people. Fourth Younger Brother, quickly put it away. Don't easily reveal the items of the sect to others!"
Although Du Qi had expected this, Mei Xiaotian had personally confirmed it at this moment. He could not help but feel surprised. He had accidentally disguised himself as Hong Lingyue. He had learned his sword technique from his sword manual and now he had gotten his sword. It seemed like he really had an unexplainable relationship with Hong Lingyue. If he didn't find out the truth about his death... He would be letting him down!
Without a doubt, the murderer who killed Hong Lingyue had skinned his scalp and taken it away to make a mask. However, he had left his skull and sword here. Perhaps the murderer suddenly encountered a strong enemy and did not have the time to take his sword away. Otherwise, there would not be any traces of a fight left here. His sword would not have appeared here either.
Du Qi was naturally very pleased that he was able to obtain Hong Lingyue's sword. However, he was even more distressed. At this point, their investigation of the murderer was ruthlessly cut off. It seemed like there was no way to investigate now, and the three brothers of Mei family seemed to have the same thoughts. As a result, all of them appeared to be depressed and depressed. Mei Xiaotian carefully picked up the skull that he suspected was Hong Lingyue. After digging a deep hole and burying it, he said dejectedly, "Let's go back!"
Looking at the three brothers of Mei family's expression, Du Qi could not help but feel a pain in his heart. He suddenly thought of something and could not help but call out, "Big brother, if my guess is right, the murderer who plotted against me has already been killed!"
Mei brothers could not help but be stunned when they heard this. Mei Xiaotian said, "Why do you think so?"
Du Qi said, "According to the situation that day, should the sword manual be on the murderer? A fierce battle happened the day before. When I rushed over, the battle seemed to have ended. There was no one left alive in the arena, so little brother found this sword manual from a corpse. From this, it can be seen that the murderer had already lost his life in that fierce battle. "
Mei Xiaotian said, "If there are no accidents, it should be like this! Even if the deceased is not the murderer, it must be related to the murderer!"
Mei Xiaoren said," But how can we prove whether the deceased is the murderer or someone else? "
Du Qi said, "First of all, we don't care if the murderer is alive or dead, we must find out why he is so cruel!"
Mei Xiaoren said, "Now that the clues have been cut off, how can we find out?"
Everyone had this thought long ago, so no one could answer his question. All of them simultaneously retreated according to Mei Xiaotian's instructions and prepared to return to the Great Path. Du Qi suddenly asked again, "Big brother is experienced and knowledgeable. Do you know which people are good at making exquisite human skin masks?"
Mei Xiaotian thought about it and said, "There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Pugilistic World. There are many strange people everywhere. There are countless people who are good at making human skin masks. There are not many people who are good at making delicate human skin masks. Only Master Gongsun, who is known as the descendant of Lu Ban, can make fake human skin masks. Fourth Younger Brother asked, could it be... "
Du Qi hurriedly interrupted Mei Xiaotian and said, "That's right!"
Mei Xiaotian was slightly startled and said with emotion," This should be the masterpiece of Great Master Gongsun! "
Du Qi probed, "Brother, can you find Great Master Gongsun?"
Mei Xiaotian said with difficulty, "In the martial world, only the name of Great Master Gongsun is heard. No one has ever seen Great Master Gongsun before. No one even knows whether Great Master Gongsun is a man or a woman. He is old and young, so there is no way to find him."
Du Qi had intended to investigate the person who made the human skin mask, but he didn't expect Master Gongsun to be so mysterious. He couldn't help but feel greatly disappointed. At the same time, he wondered if the three human skin masks that he saw were made by one person. When he thought of the other human skin mask, Du Qi couldn't help but think of Looh Miaoer.
