Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 994 Wrong Target
The fight didn't last long. Even though it lasted dozens of rounds, both of them moved very quickly and it actually didn't take much time.

Yang Yiyi actually wanted to chase after him, and with her Qinggong skills she could indeed do so, but as soon as she raised her foot, she remembered the principle that Li Chengxi once told her not to chase after a desperate enemy, so she did not go after him.

In the previous fight, Yang Yiyi had consumed almost one third of her internal energy, and the wound from the palm strike had not yet fully healed, so she needed to sit down and regulate her breathing.

What's more, Yang Yiyi keenly noticed that the man seemed to be hiding something.

It's not that the other party is hiding his weakness and showing mercy, but it's more like he doesn't want Yang Yiyi to see his moves. Once she catches up with him, if the other party goes all out, Yang Yiyi will have no hope.

Let's leave this matter to the monks of Jingci Temple.

So Yang Yiyi put away her steel mace, but when she looked up, there was no monk there.

Jingkong was just shouting nonsense; the footsteps came from the children jumping around behind the tree, creating the illusion that someone was coming.

"Sister Yang, are you okay?"

The little monk Jingkong is really smart. He actually used this trick to scare people away.

Yang Yiyi waved her hand to indicate that it was okay. Just as she was about to speak, she felt the jade sceptre in her arms vibrate.

So she immediately changed her words:

"I need some time to recuperate. Can you keep an eye on him for me? The thief might come back to attack me."

"Of course, leave it to us."

Yang Yiyi was sitting under a tree, and several children were standing nearby, staring with wide eyes, afraid that the man would come back to kill her.

After making sure that no one could hear her, Yang Yiyi took out the jade sceptre:

"Brother Li, I was beaten just now..."

He said this as if he were a child complaining to his parents.

Li Chengxi also saw the changes in the health bar and blue bar on Yang Yiyi's character panel and asked:

"Who is it?"

However, Li Chengxi didn't see who it was. He had just sent O'Paine away and chatted with Oldie when he turned around and saw Yang Yiyi, who looked like she had just fought with someone.

"A man in black who is hiding his head and showing his tail. I think he might be from the Anxiang Pavilion."

"Please tell me in detail."

Yang Yiyi then whispered to Li Chengxi everything that had just happened.

Unexpectedly, he said after listening:

"That person might not be someone from the Anxiang Pavilion. Maybe he is the murderer who killed Xuan Ku."

"why?"

"If he was from the Anxiang Pavilion, why would he hide his incompetence for fear that you would find out his intentions?"

Yang Yiyi suddenly realized.

From the very beginning, Li Chengxi suspected that it was someone from Jingci Temple who killed Xuan Ku. Yang Yiyi hid her skills when she was attacked, which was obviously because she was afraid that Yang Yiyi would see the kung fu skills of Jingci Temple.

It is estimated that when Yang Yiyi relayed Li Chengxi's words before, the murderer felt that keeping Yang Yiyi might be a trouble, and he was afraid that she would find out about him, so he came to silence her.

But Li Chengxi changed his mind and felt that it was not right to silence Yang Yiyi.

The most important reason is how that person locked Yang Yiyi's location?

Yang Yiyi has been with the princess for a long time, and the princess is surrounded by a large number of imperial guards. The murderer certainly cannot just rush in headfirst.

Yang Yiyi came to the back mountain secretly this time. If the murderer wanted to silence Yang Yiyi, he would have to keep an eye on the princess's room at all times, and if he saw Yang Yiyi coming out alone, he would quickly follow her.

This is too suspicious. If you really do this, you will definitely be discovered by the palace guards.

So, how did the murderer chase to the back mountain?

Li Chengxi thought about it carefully and thought it was probably because of the secret room. As mentioned before, the scene was a secret room, and this was probably beyond the murderer's expectation. It is even possible that it was because Jingkong came in after the murderer left and locked the door that the murderer did not force his way in to take away the teapot and teacups, but waited until the body was discovered the next day and took the opportunity to take away the things.

After all, the windows of Xuan Ku's meditation room were all locked. Although it was not difficult to break into the door once it was locked, the noise would be quite loud in the middle of the night.

If the murderer had guessed it, who would have locked the door...

The target is these children, or in other words, the murderer's target should be Jingkong, because he is afraid that he has seen some evidence that is unfavorable to him in the meditation room!
That makes sense.

The reason why Jingkong and his companions were in the back mountain was mainly because the abbot once secretly taught them martial arts here. It might have been okay once or twice, but after a long time, it was impossible that no one in the temple had not noticed it.

The murderer most likely knew about it, and took advantage of the fact that no one noticed him after being questioned in the morning, and then came to the back mountain to silence him, but he just happened to run into Yang Yiyi.

So, can the teapot clue provided by Jingkong be used as a clue to find the murderer?

This is just a possibility, but not irrefutable proof.

There are many monks in Jingci Temple who love to drink tea, even those monks with the surname Xuan.

As for what Master Jingkong said about the tea bowl looking very expensive, it might have been given by a pilgrim, or it might have been found by him himself.

If it was the former, there would still be traces to follow, but if it was the latter, people would have already taken away the teapot and teacups, smashed them somewhere deserted, and buried the pieces. Even if we brought Master Jingkong to the temple for correction, we probably wouldn't be able to find anything useful.

Li Chengxi tapped his temple and asked again:
"Tell me more about the fight you had with that guy just now, in more detail."

Yang Yiyi thought that Li Chengxi wanted to see that person's martial arts skills and maybe be able to tell who it was, so she not only talked about it, but also stood up and demonstrated a few times.

However, what Li Chengxi wants to look at is not the method, but the details and process.

"You said he once went to Jingkong?"

"Yes, is there anything noteworthy about this?"

Li Chengxi pondered for a moment:
"Take these children back to the princess's room first and tell them that they are key witnesses and protect them here."

Regardless of whether the clues are useful or not, we must protect the person first, otherwise the other party will definitely find another opportunity to strike.

"As for the murderer... although there is no evidence yet, I have some clues."

When considering things, you cannot start from one aspect. This is not like playing a game divided into chapters.

We need to take a comprehensive and comprehensive approach.

If you connect all the information we know now, what is the most puzzling thing?
It is clearance.

It’s not that there’s anything wrong with the kid, but that the people in the temple have a problem with their attitude towards Jingkong.

Jingkong was an orphan adopted by Jingci Temple. He stayed there as a lay disciple and learned some martial arts so that he could go down the mountain and make a living in the future.

This is normal in itself, as Jingci Temple has raised many people in this way.

But Jingkong is not a quiet child.

He would hold pheasants and rabbits and eat them every day, and run around the temple. Although the Vinaya Hall was in charge, you could tell from Master Jingkong's attitude that he didn't care at all.

Xuan Nan, who was in charge of the Discipline Institute, was not the kind of person who could tolerate any sand in his eyes. Just looking at his violent temper, one could tell that the three beatings that Jingkong received in one day were the lightest punishment.

What about the facts?
Jingkong was not hung up or beaten by the Disciples' Court at all.

This shows that there are people up there to keep the mind clear and to provide some light.

And the only one who could force Xuan Nan to accommodate the sand was probably the host.

Continuing on, why is the host so nice to Jingkong?

He usually came here secretly to teach Jingkong and several children martial arts. The deceased Xuan Ku also secretly taught Jingkong martial arts. This has gone beyond the scope of seeing that this child has good aptitude.

Combined with the fact that the host suddenly severed his own tendons and died, and that Xuan Bei once put a letter with a bloody handprint in his arms and has not yet made it public...

"After sending these children to the princess, take the others and go find Xuan Bei. This old guy must know something."
