Chapter 44: Shocking Change (Part 3)

The various buildings in Zhenwu Temple are very particular about their distribution, and the rules are complicated.

When there are too many particulars and rules, it means complexity. If you enter it for the first time without someone to lead the way, you may even get lost.

This undoubtedly provides Qi Xuansu with excellent cover. He walks between various buildings, using shadows and night as cover, and begins to hunt the attackers in reverse.

Qi Xuansu climbed onto the roof of a relatively intact side hall, lay behind the ridge, and set up the "Sun Shooting Long Gun" he had just obtained.

Although the "Sun Shooting Long Gun" was not equipped with a telescope, Qi Xuansu could use his Yin Shen to find out the specific location with his Yin Shen, and then fire the gun. The Yin Shen's return is just a thought. It cannot be said that he can hit the target every time, but he can still hit nine out of ten times.

After Qi Xuansu fired a gun, a person from the "Heavenly Court" in the distance exploded. To be precise, the upper half of the person's body was torn into pieces, and blood mist filled the air. Only the legs of the lower half of the body were still standing straight on the ground.

This is the power of "Dragon Eye Yiyi".

The disadvantage is that it makes too much noise, which is not suitable for sneak attacks.

Qi Xuansu succeeded with one shot, and he never stopped. He immediately put away the long gun and turned to the next place.

As expected, Qi Xuansu had just slid down the roof when he was hit by a shot, and half of the roof was lifted off.

Qi Xuansu bent his body and passed through the alley behind the side hall, climbed over a gable, and came to a small courtyard.

There was a small bamboo forest planted in the small courtyard. Under the moonlight, the shadows of the bamboos were sprinkled on the brick and stone ground, like floating shadows on cool water, quite elegant.

There was a stone table and several stone benches in the bamboo forest. At this time, there was a spiritual officer sitting on the ground next to the stone table, with his back against the bamboo, his armor on his abdomen was broken, bloody and his breathing was heavy.

Seeing Qi Xuansu coming in, the spiritual officer struggled to pick up the long spear beside him, wanting to fight to the death.

Qi Xuansu took out his badge: "I am a Taoist priest in charge of Ziwei Hall, Qi Xuansu."

When the spiritual officer saw the badge, he breathed a sigh of relief, put down his spear, and said with difficulty: "Qi, Qi, please forgive me for not being able to salute."

"Don't move." Qi Xuansu walked to the side of the spiritual officer and squatted down to check his injuries.

The spiritual officer smiled bitterly and said: "Qi, don't waste your energy. We spiritual officers are not like Taoist priests. We don't have a body of cultivation. If we don't have this set of armor, we are just people who have acquired the power of nature. I, I can't do it."

Qi Xuansu was silent.

This spiritual officer was seriously injured. If he was sent to Huasheng Hall now, he might still have a chance of survival, but the current situation is full of dangers. Where can he go to Huasheng Hall?

The spiritual officer murmured, "Master Qi is a Taoist priest of Ziwei Hall. I think he has never been to the frontier. We are spiritual officers of the frontier. We can't say that we have seen through life and death, but we have long been accustomed to it. Many of my... my brothers-in-arms died at the hands of other ways and stained the battlefield with blood."

Speaking of this, he gasped heavily again: "I survived by chance. I didn't die in the Gobi Desert in the Western Regions, but died in the prosperous Jinling. But..."

Qi Xuansu asked softly: "But what?"

"But, but..." The spiritual officer didn't finish his words after all. His voice became smaller and smaller, his breath became weaker and weaker, and the light in his eyes became dimmer and dimmer.

Finally, he stopped breathing, still with his eyes open, looking through the bamboo forest and looking at the high night sky.

Perhaps in the last moment of his life, he saw his brothers-in-arms in the past.

Now, they are reunited.

Qi Xuansu stood up in silence, not knowing what to say.

He was born in Jianghu, like a lone wolf, never had comrades, let alone experience this kind of emotion, but at this moment, he was a little sad.

Qi Xuansu walked out of the courtyard. There were many corpses along the way, some of them were spiritual officials, and some were people from the "Heavenly Court". Turning a corner, there was a flower hall, and at this time, two people from the "Heavenly Court" were placing the "Phoenix Eye Jia Ba".

Qi Xuansu did not fire his gun, but pulled out the "Fei Ying" and approached the two people in an instant.

The man who was placing the "Phoenix Eye Jia Ba" had almost no reaction, and was directly chopped off the head by Qi Xuansu with a knife. The blood was like a fountain, dyeing the "Phoenix Eye Jia Ba" in his hand red.

The man in charge of vigilance roared, and then swung his knife at Qi Xuansu, and Qi Xuansu stabbed him in the mouth with a knife and passed through.

Two corpses fell to the ground.

Qi Xuansu glanced at the "Phoenix Eye Jia Ba", which was completely different from the "Phoenix Eye Jia Jiu". It was not a round bead that could be held in one hand, but was square, like a box. It seemed that it needed a special method to detonate, and it was not suitable for throwing out, nor was it convenient to carry.

So he pressed the two bodies on the "Phoenix Eye Jia Ba" and turned to leave.

In fact, there should not be so few people in Zhenwu Temple. It was just because of the arrival of the investigation team that the Jiangnan Daofu specially cleared the Zhenwu Temple, making the huge Zhenwu Temple very quiet, and many palaces and pavilions were empty.

In addition, the area of ​​Zhenwu Temple was comparable to that of the royal palace, so after the initial surprise attack, both the attacking "Heavenly Court" and the defending Taoist Lingguan gradually dispersed to various places in Zhenwu Temple, turning it into a game of hide-and-seek. This is also one of the reasons why the "Heavenly Court" people kept placing "Phoenix Eye Jia Ba". If they did not use such drastic means, they would not be able to clear the Zhenwu Temple by dawn.

The reason why it is said to be one of the reasons is because there is a more important reason - to destroy evidence.

In order to eliminate the adverse effects caused by torture, Xuansheng stipulated that in the trial of various cases, the proportion of confessions should be reduced and more emphasis should be placed on physical evidence.

This time, the investigation team investigated the case, and the progress of the case was not as simple as Ye Xiu's confession. It can only be said that Ye Xiu's confession was only the key breakthrough point. In addition, there were a lot of physical evidence.

For example, all the account books of Yanqing Chamber of Commerce, some account books of Zixian Mountain and Jiangnan Daofu, and even the customs records of Shibo Hall, the transaction records of various customs, the warehouse records of various warehouses, and various other files, such as the file on the cause of death of Feng Bo that Zhang Yuelu gave to Lei Xiaohuan, the post-investigation file of the Yuanyuan fire, the testimony of other witnesses, etc., too numerous to mention. Only with the existence of these physical evidence can Ye Xiu's confession be supported, and these evidences have not been summarized and sorted out. The number is too large, and there are several rooms. No one can carry them in the Xumi object, and they are all placed in Zhenwu Temple.

This is also the reason why Jiangnan Daofu emptied Zhenwu Temple.

The people of "Tianting" don't know where these evidences are placed, but as long as the entire Zhenwu Temple is destroyed, these evidences will no longer exist.

If the witnesses have to be silenced, does it mean that the physical evidence does not need to be "silenced"?

After Qi Xuansu killed more than ten people in a row, he saw several halls on fire.

Qi Xuansu knew that it was useless to kill more people, and he would be buried in the sea of ​​fire sooner or later. The most correct choice was to leave Zhenwu Temple now, but he was worried about Zhang Yuelu, wondering how she was doing. So Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, turned around, and returned to the dungeon.

However, Qi Xuansu was unlucky. After returning, he found that Marshal Tianpeng was still guarding the door of the dungeon and had no intention of leaving. However, there were no Taoist spiritual officials around, and no other people from the "Heavenly Court", only him.

Although the distance between the two was far, the cultivation of the celestial being was not fake. When Qi Xuansu saw Marshal Tianpeng from afar, Marshal Tianpeng also spotted Qi Xuansu at a glance.

Marshal Tianpeng still remembered Qi Xuansu. At this time, Qi Xuansu came back alone without seeing the men he sent out, so the result was obvious.

He underestimated this little Taoist priest.

Well, let him do it himself, just as a stretch.

After Marshal Tianpeng started to chant, he stepped on the ground and flew into the air like a big bird.

Among the many inheritances, the warrior is a special case. In the free and easy stage of the heavenly man, he still cannot fly in the air. The monk is very similar to the warrior, but it is not pure. The blood is huge but not condensed. However, there are also advantages to being impure. The monk is not like the warrior who completely prohibits magic. He can fly in the free and easy stage.

Qi Xuansu was startled when he saw Marshal Tianpeng flying towards him. He raised the "Sun Shooting Long Gun" in his hand and fired.

The monk's physique is far less solid than that of the warrior. This shot directly left a bloody hole in Marshal Tianpeng's body.

But the monk's blood and qi were too huge, and even his body was too large. This small blood hole could not be compared to a mosquito bite, but it was not a serious injury. Even his flesh and blood only shook slightly, and the blood hole disappeared.

In the time it took to fire, Marshal Tianpeng had arrived in front of Qi Xuansu.
