Chapter 78: The Matter Is over and I Am Leaving

Qi Xuansu put away the "Shenlong Hand Gun" and picked up his double swords, then checked Wan Xiuwu's body.

In addition to a few official bills, he also had some official documents from Wuxu Palace, as well as a certificate and a waist badge to prove his identity.

Qi Xuansu hesitated and struggled whether to take the official bills.

In his heart, he didn't want to take the official bills. He wanted to make his revenge purer and not have anything to do with money, which would make him look like a murderer.

But in reality, he was short of money, and a mosquito was still meat, not to mention that for Qi Xuansu, who only had 600 Taiping coins left, the hundreds of Taiping coins that Wan Xiuwu carried were not mosquito legs, but a considerable amount of money.

So Qi Xuansu decided to let God help him make a decision.

Qi Xuansu took out a Taiping coin. On the front were the four characters "Da Xuan Jiu Shi", "Da Xuan" was arranged up and down, and "Jiu Shi" was arranged left and right, just forming a cross structure. On the back are the four characters "天下太平", with "天下" arranged up and down and "太平" arranged left and right.

Qi Xuansu bounced the Taiping coin up and reached out to catch it.

If the characters "大Xuan Jiushi" were facing up, then he would not take the official note. If the characters "天下太平" were facing up, then he would take the official note.

Qi Xuansu slowly removed his palm covering it, revealing the characters "大Xuan Jiushi".

Do not take the official note.

"Since it is God's will, it is not that God does not take what he has given." Qi Xuansu put away the Taiping coin, took out a "龙视一三", used "青元" to pry open the bottom shell of the bullet, and evenly sprinkled the powder in the bullet on Wan Xiuwu's body.

Then Qi Xuansu took out the hand gun again, loaded a "龙眼一三", and aimed it at Wan Xiuwu's body.

With a bang.

As Qi Xuansu pressed the hammer and pulled the trigger, a blazing flame ignited on Wan Xiuwu's body.

The reason for this extra effort is, firstly, to prevent the possibility of Wan Xiuwu coming back to life, and secondly, to cover up the traces, so that people cannot judge who killed Wan Xiuwu from the wounds on the body.

Of course, the traces of firearms cannot be covered up, but the Taoist sect will not leave numbers on each bullet, so these are all insignificant details.

After doing all this, Qi Xuansu found his inferior horse, got on the horse, and continued to go to Beimang Mountain.

What is boldness? This is it.

If it were a fledgling who had just come out of the rivers and lakes, he would definitely change the route temporarily when encountering such a situation. Even if it was a long detour, he would choose some remote and uninhabited routes. Along the way, he would be afraid of the wind and the trees, and everyone looked like someone who came to catch him. But Qi Xuansu had to go along the original route, and he had to pass under the eyes of the Taoist sect.

From beginning to end, Qi Xuansu did not have great joy or sorrow, and maintained a relatively calm mentality, far from the pleasure of revenge for his master.

Some people say that the older you are in the rivers and lakes, the less courageous you are.

Some people are timid because they are cautious, while others are fearless because they are ignorant and return to their normal state. They are timid people. They are not afraid if they don't know, but they are afraid if they know.

But some people will become more and more daring. It's not that they don't know the dangers and benefits, but so what?

It's just that the latter usually don't live long, which makes the former seem right.

But as long as the latter can survive in the bloody storm, they can probably become important figures. On the contrary, the old people who are getting timid will either leave the world as soon as possible or become stepping stones for the younger generation.

…

After Qi Xuansu left for most of the day, someone finally found Wan Xiuwu, who had been burned to a charred corpse. First, they notified the local Taoist temple. After the Taoist temple sent people to check, they reported to the government. When the people from the Taoist government came, it was already the next day.

Although Wan Xiuwu's clothes and talisman had turned to ashes, his waist badge was still intact. The people from Qinzhou Daofu quickly confirmed Wan Xiuwu's identity and notified Wuxu Palace.

On the afternoon of the second day after Wan Xiuwu's death, people from Wuxu Palace also came here. The leader was a third-rank Taoist priest with sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a white complexion. Although handsome, for some reason, he always exuded an inexplicable evil spirit.

This person was called Pan Cuiqing. He looked young, but he was already over 40 years old. He was the eldest disciple of the Wuxu Palace Master, and Wan Xiuwu's eldest senior brother.

The Master had important things to do and couldn't come in person. Or, the Master had many disciples, and the death of Wan Xiuwu was nothing. He felt that there was no need to come in person, so he just asked his trusted disciple to go on his behalf.

Beside Pan Cuiqing, there was Yue Liuli who came with him. Her face was pale, and it was unclear whether she was shocked, frightened, sad or mournful. She was a beauty, and at this time she looked even more pitiful and pitiful.

They came not far from the corpse, and everything was charred, like charcoal, and nothing could be seen.

However, the traces of fighting around were still clearly visible.

Especially the cracks of a human figure, which were mostly caused by the body of Wan Xiuwu. Obviously, Wan Xiuwu was defeated by his opponent and was killed.

Pan Cuiqing looked at the traces around him, and the scene of two figures fighting gradually emerged in his mind. He slowly said: "If I am not mistaken, this is left by two warriors fighting. One of the warriors is naturally Junior Brother Wan, and the other warrior is most likely the murderer."

Yue Liuli pursed her lips and said nothing.

When she learned the news, her first reaction was that Qi Xuansu did it.

But when she remembered, Qi Xuansu was dead.

Yes, dead.

She still remembered the scene when Wan Xiuwu came to her excitedly with the official newspaper that day. She had to admit that they both felt relieved at that time. Although they were not afraid of Qi Xuansu, they were afraid of thieves thinking about it. Now that the little thief is finally dead, it is of course worth being happy.

Since it was not Qi Xuansu who did it, then who could it be?

Yue Liuli's second reaction was Zhang Yuelu.

After all, there are rumors that Qi Xuansu died to save Zhang Yuelu. If this rumor is true, then Zhang Yuelu might kill someone to fulfill Qi Xuansu's last wish and comfort Qi Xuansu's spirit in heaven.

But Yue Liuli thought about it carefully and felt that it was unlikely. The recent movements of Yujing were all reported in the court. It was no secret that Zhang Yuelu was promoted to the eighth deputy palace master. It was obvious that Zhang Yuelu could not get away from it. Moreover, once such a thing was exposed, it would be a huge scandal. Not only would Zhang Yuelu suffer losses, but it would also implicate Cihang Zhenren. Cihang Zhenren would not allow his successor to do such a thing that would destroy his future and affect the overall situation.

If Zhang Yuelu really wanted to take revenge, he had to fully support his master to become the head of the sect. As long as Cihang Zhenren became the head of the sect, Zhang Yuelu would only need to show some interest, and their master would most likely take the initiative to "clean up the door". This would not only be simple, but also leave no bad reputation.

Then who could it be?

Yue Liuli really couldn't figure it out.

They were from the Wanxiang Dao Palace, they were not very old, and they didn't have much money. After they left the Wanxiang Dao Palace, they knew that they were not as good as those favored sons of heaven from big families, so they were very low-key and did not provoke any enemies.

The few enemies were all made when they were in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, and it was also because they were young and frivolous at that time.

If Qi Xuansu heard this, he would probably scold me for being shameless. He was very careful when he hurt me, but he was not frivolous at all. Being scared after someone died, is that youthful frivolity?

Pan Cuiqing raised his hand to call over the Taoist priest who was responsible for investigating the scene and asked, "What did you get?"

"We have preliminarily confirmed that the deceased was killed by the bullets from Tianji Hall. There was an armor-piercing bullet in the chest and brain. The fatal injury was the bullet that passed through the skull. Judging from the wound, it should be a close-range shot." A fifth-rank Taoist priest answered.

Yue Liuli asked, "What is the specific extent of this close-range shot?"

The fifth-rank Taoist priest hesitated for a moment and replied, "It means to press the muzzle of the gun against the forehead."

Yue Liuli could already imagine the scene at that time. Wan Xiuwu was knocked to the ground, and then someone pressed a fire gun against his forehead. He turned pale and stopped talking.

The fifth-rank Taoist priest continued, "In addition, we also found traces of 'Dragon Eye B3', but it was used to burn the body. Because of this, other wounds are difficult to distinguish."

Pan Cuiqing nodded slightly, "Although it is a product of Tianjitang, it is hard to guarantee that it will not flow into the black market. If there is no solid evidence, it is best not to involve our own people in this matter."

"Yes." The Taoist priest replied solemnly.
