Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 99 Tragedy
The two children lay down again.

Xu Zhiqiu ignored them at first, but went forward to check the condition of the bodies.

Counting the wounds, the types are very diverse.

Some were hacked with knives, some were killed with blunt tools and hammers, and some even tore the entire person in half.

Of course, most of them were killed by the power of palm strikes. Most of the dead had blood coming out of all their orifices and their eyes popped out of their sockets.

This shows how powerful the attacker's palm power is.

Based on the time it took for the blood to dry up, it can be roughly estimated that the killing occurred in the late night or early morning.

Not long from now.

Even if the murderer knows how to fly a sword, he shouldn't be able to fly very far.

But the question is, who would have done this?

"..."

After pondering for a while, Xu Zhiqiu was at a loss for a moment and turned to look at the two children.

One of the two children has handsome features, while the other is plain-looking.

There is a lanyard around Pingping's neck, which should be a pendant.

Xu Zhiqiu didn't care at first, but a hint of purple appeared at the opening of the child's clothes, which immediately attracted his attention.

It was a purple bead. Upon closer inspection, one could see tiny blood-like veins on it.

"This is."

Xu Zhiqiu was a little surprised, because he had seen this bead when he was in Yu.

He checked again and again and there was no mistake.

Isn’t it the one strung on the jade rosary of Puzhi, the great monk in Tianyin Temple?
"Why is it on this child?"

Xu Zhiqiu thought for a moment, then put his hands on the foreheads of the two children. With a little effort, the two children woke up quickly.

"Father, mother!"

"father!"

As soon as the two children woke up, they rushed into the pile of corpses and searched around like crazy.

They soon found the bodies of their parents, and they each held the corpses and wailed with tears streaming down their faces.

Xu Zhiqiu sighed and could only wait by the side.

After the two children's crying subsided a little, Xu Zhiqiu called the two children over and planned to ask them some questions.

Both children were crying breathlessly, but the handsome one still had some language skills and answered a few of his questions.

It turned out that one of the two children was named Lin Jingyu and the plain-looking one was named Zhang Xiaofan, and both were from Cao Miao Village.

According to their confessions, they were abducted outside the village by men in black last night, and later heard thunder and were knocked unconscious.

Waking up like this.

"Is it really so?" Xu Zhiqiu asked again.

Lin Jingyu nodded and said yes, with certainty.

But the man called Zhang Xiaofan was speechless and could not speak.

After listening to this, Xu Zhiqiu was confused for a moment.

Man in black……

"This little brother."

He suddenly pointed at Zhang Xiaofan, scaring the latter.

"Don't be afraid. I just want to ask who gave you this bead you are wearing?"

Zhang Xiaofan was startled when he heard this, and was about to say something, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and said haltingly:
"No, no one, I picked it up in the wild..."

"Picked it up?"

Such a casual answer made Xu Zhiqiu frown.

I thought this child was not worthy of his reputation.

He asked again tentatively: "Was the one who gave you the bead a kind-looking old monk?"

"Ah!" Zhang Xiaofan was suddenly startled and his eyes widened.

Seeing his reaction, Xu Zhiqiu felt that he was right, and then asked:
"Did the old monk tell you anything? Or where did he go after he gave you the beads?"

"I, I don't know." After saying that, Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head and refused to speak again.

Xu Zhiqiu let out a breath, feeling somewhat helpless.

He was silent for a while, then decided to investigate it in his own way.

"Can I borrow this bead?" He pointed at the object on Zhang Xiaofan's neck.

"Yes, yes."

The latter was stunned for a moment, then timidly took it off and handed it to him.

After Xu Zhiqiu took it, he held it in his right palm, put his left hand together in front of his nose, and stepped lightly. "Huh——"

A gust of wind blew up around him, sweeping away the swarm of flies.

Within a radius of ten feet, a strange gate pattern is formed, covering the central palace, three talents, nine stars, eight gates, nine palaces and ten directions...

It’s just that the Qimen pattern is invisible and intangible, and cannot be seen by others, but this ability to create something out of nowhere really scared the two children.

Xu Zhiqiu pointed his finger at the purple bead.
"Feng Hou·Tui Tian Yan Ling·Reverse Tracking."

Then, a faint smoke rose from the bead and meandered into the sky like a long snake.

After rising into the clouds, it extends towards the west.

"..."

In this way, the target's direction and distance can be quickly determined.

Xu Zhiqiu then withdrew his plan, having already made a plan in mind.

Just as he returned the beads to Zhang Xiaofan, suddenly, Lin Jingyu pulled his companions and knelt down.

"Please ask Brother God to help us!"

After saying that, he poked his dumb partner, and the two of them kowtowed to Xu Zhiqiu repeatedly.

"Hey, stop it, you two!"

Xu Zhiqiu was just about to pull them up when suddenly, the sound of wind was heard in the distance.

He turned his head and saw two sword lights falling down.

Two young men flying swords appeared, both of them looked to be in their twenties.

One of them is of large build, the other is thinner.

“What’s happening here!?”

Witnessing this tragic incident of annihilating the entire village, both of them were shocked.

The strong one was more excited and sighed:

"The villagers of Caomiao have been farmers for generations and have done their duty. How could they have suffered such a disaster?!"

The other thinner one looked at Xu Zhiqiu and asked:
"This brother looks unfamiliar, so he should not be a disciple of our sect, right?"

Xu Zhiqiu didn't need to answer this question. Then the man stepped forward and cupped his hands:
"We are disciples of the nearby Qingyun Sect. This is Song Daren from Dazhu Peak, and I am Chang Jian from Tongtian Peak. I wonder what your name is and which sect you belong to?"

"My name is Xu Zhiqiu, and I don't have any family background."

"Then this place is..."

"I just arrived not long ago, too..."

Xu Zhiqiu sighed and spoke briefly to the two of them, which of course included the confessions of the two children.

After hearing this, Chang Jian and Song Daren looked at each other, and the latter said:

"In that case, the man in black is highly suspicious."

Chang Jian, however, gave Xu Zhiqiu a suspicious look.

"Excuse me, how did you find out that this village was in trouble?"

"Same as you two." Xu Zhiqiu replied simply.

"..."

The two looked at each other in silence. The remark was so simple and effective that they found it difficult to question it for a moment.

Xu Zhiqiu thought about it and thought it was logical for others to suspect him, so he added:
"Yesterday I visited the head of your sect's Xiaozhu Peak, Shuiyue Zhenren. You can go and verify it."

After hearing this, the doubts in their eyes disappeared a little.

The two children then kowtowed to Chang Jian and Song Daren, begging Qingyun Sect to take charge of the tragic deaths of their fellow villagers.

The Qingyun Sect has been operating here for generations. How could they just ignore the tragedy happening in the village right under their noses?

He then comforted the two children with kind words and promised that he would take them to Qingyun Mountain after the corpses were buried, and the master would make the decision then.

Then Chang Jian came again to ask for explanation:
"I wonder if you could come with us to Qingyun Mountain, so that you can be a witness for our teachers?"

"No." Xu Zhiqiu shook his head and looked towards the western sky. The smoke extended to who knows how far.

"If you delay any longer, you may not be able to catch up."

Chang Jian and Song Daren looked at each other after hearing this, their thoughts were exchanged through their eyes, and the former asked again:
"Brother, who are you going to chase? Is it the man in black?"

As soon as these words were spoken, even Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu beside them changed their expressions and stared at Xu Zhiqiu with eager hope.

"..."

Xu Zhiqiu didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.

"This... I don't know either. Goodbye."

After saying that, he used the purple light to pierce into the sky.
