Chapter 170: No Hidden Dangers

In fact, Qi Xuansu could have fired a gun just now. Whether it was accuracy or speed, it would not be inferior to Yao Pei's flying knife. It was just because the price of "Dragon Eye Yi Yi" was too expensive. If it was not necessary, he really didn't want to waste the money.

At first, Qi Xuansu didn't know the specific price, because he had only used the free "Dragon Eye Yi Yi". If he bought it with his own money, the most expensive one was "Dragon Eye Yi Yi Er", which cost ten yuan per round. In his mind, "Dragon Eye Yi Yi Yi" was twenty yuan per round, so he gave Yao Pei a gun without hesitation.

Later, he asked someone about it and found out that the price of "Dragon Eye Yi Yi Yi" was as high as fifty yuan per round. Yao Pei gave him twenty "Dragon Eye Yi Yi Yi" for free, which was one thousand yuan. Qi Xuansu realized that his cousin's niece was generous. Of course, it is also possible that because it was given by others, Yao Pei didn't even open it, so he didn't care about the pain at all. .

In any case, Qi Xuansu couldn't afford to spend. He only had 100 Taiping coins on him. He shot Yao Pei with one shot and Qi Jianyuan with another shot, which was equivalent to spending 100 Taiping coins. It was painful to think about it. The key point was that with his financial resources, he couldn't replenish them in a short time. It was like one less shot for every shot he used. The remaining 18 shots needed to be used sparingly. Just like the situation just now, if it was not a sneak attack and hit the vital point, the power of a "Dragon Eye Yiyi" was quite limited, so there was no need to fire the gun.

Qi Xuansu put away the "Painted Dragon Hand Gun" and asked, "Should we notify Master Sun?"

Yao Pei pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes."

Qi Xuansu asked again, "Since we have confirmed that Hu Jiaode is a suspect, can we hand it over to Master Sun next?"

Yao Pei glanced at him, "Why do you have such an idea?"

Qi Xuansu said, "With Master Sun's realm and cultivation, isn't it easy to find someone?"

"It's not that simple." Yao Pei shook his head and said, "Master Sun is not an alchemist, and there is no such thing as covering the Taoist Palace with a single thought. Even if Master Sun is an alchemist, the interior of the Wanxiang Taoist Palace is very complicated, with countless small formations in the large formation, which are linked together. Take the Zhen Garden where we live, the Dui Garden where the high-level instructor lives, and the Kun Garden where the assistant lives. For the Garden, almost every house has a separate supporting formation, and there are also 99 libraries in Gen Garden, the auditorium in Qian Garden, and the teaching house in Kan Garden. Count them yourself, how many formations are there? In the Upper Palace, you can't even fly in the air, even if the Taoist's thoughts are difficult to unfold. "

Qi Xuansu was stunned: "If that's the case, why didn't you chase him just now?"

Yao Pei asked back: "Why didn't you chase him?"

Qi Xuansu said frankly: "This Hu Jiaode is much more powerful than Qi Jianyuan, and he is desperate. If I chase him rashly, it will probably be a sheep into a tiger's mouth. If you, a great master of heaven and man, don't move, how dare I move rashly? "

Yao Pei said: "After informing Master Sun about this, the greatest significance is that Master Sun can mobilize the spiritual officials in the Taoist Palace to slowly investigate. After all, the Taoist Palace is sealed at this time. He is like a turtle in a jar, and he will be found out eventually, but it doesn't mean it will be soon, it will still take some time. However, in this way, everyone knows that there is something fishy about Qi Jianyuan's death, and even the affairs of Ziguang Society will be exposed. There is no wall that is impenetrable in the world. The key lies in whether there is intention or not. After this matter becomes a big deal, people with intentions will definitely get to the bottom of it, which is what the master does not want to see. "

Qi Xuansu raised an objection: "After Qi Jianyuan's accidental death, this matter has become a big deal. A deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall died inexplicably in Wanxiang Dao Palace, which will inevitably attract other people's attention. Do you expect to cover it up with the so-called love killing?"

Yao Pei said calmly: "At least until now, it is still under control, because Wanxiang Dao Palace is isolated from the inside and outside, and the mother-child talisman and ordinary The ‘communication talisman array’ cannot transmit the message, except for the ‘communication talisman array’ in the signing room of the Grand Master of the Palace, which is now controlled by Master Sun. Master Sun only informed the Grand Master of the Palace, Master Donghua, and Master Qi of the Shuzhou Dao Mansion of the news. These three would not leak the news, so outsiders had no way of knowing the news of Qi Jianyuan’s death. "

Qi Xuansu frowned and said, "But the Wanxiang Dao Palace will be unsealed one day."

Yao Pei's face was calm and almost indifferent, and he said, "As long as we get rid of all these evil cult monsters before the Wanxiang Dao Palace is unsealed, and then secretly execute Pei Muyu, the scourge, and announce to the outside world that he died suddenly due to infatuation, even if other people know about it, they will be dead without evidence, and there is no way to blame Quanzhen Dao, that's enough. "

Qi Xuansu's heart was shocked.

He suddenly understood that this was Yao Pei's fundamental purpose, not revenge, but leaving no hidden dangers. No wonder she said she wanted to catch this big fish herself.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. How could a ruthless person who practices the "Taishang Wangqing Sutra" be so eager to avenge his senior brother? Moreover, this is not revenge, because Qi Jianyuan did die at the hands of the female teacher. The person who killed the female teacher actually helped Qi Jianyuan to avenge.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but re-examine Yao Pei.

Although Zhang Yuelu has the concept and determination to change the Taoist sect, he has to admit that Zhang Yuelu is not a good person in the traditional sense. She is fierce and meticulous, and even has the suspicion of being overbearing. She is unkind and is regarded as difficult to get along with.

And Li Changge, who can turn his hand to make clouds and rain, is called "little ancestor" by everyone in the Li family, not just because of seniority.

Yao Peineng is as famous as Zhang Yuelu and Li Changge. As the third generation leader who was carefully cultivated by the two generations of Quanzhen Tao leaders and represents the Yao and Pei families, how can she be such an innocent woman? She looks indifferent but is actually cold. Ruthless, Zhang Yuelu is like a thunder, she is like the Sunda wind, one yang and one yin.

Yao Pei felt Qi Xuansu's scrutinizing gaze and turned his gaze: "You seem surprised?"

Qi Xuansu calmed down: "The Pei family..."

"Whether it's the laws of the Taoist sect, the rules of the Quanzhen Tao, or the family laws of the Pei family, he deserves to die. Qi Tianyuan, you are considered a veteran, can't you keep your eyes open to this matter?" Yao Pei said coldly.

Qi Xuansu said: "Of course I have nothing to dislike. It's just that I don't have family, so I probably can't understand what it's like to execute one's own family members."

Yao Pei said calmly: "Don't worry, there will be some in the future. Whether it's from the Zhang family or the Yao family."

Qi Xuansu remained silent.

Yao Pei took a deep look at him and said, "What do you think this is? A child playing house? This is a life-and-death struggle. Morals and rules are all matters on the surface. In private, there is only the light of the sword. There is a well-known saying, face and lizi. A family, a clan, a sect, a sect, and even a country are all divided into face and lizi. Things have to be dealt with by the inside. If you can't deal with it, it leaks to your face, and your face is ruined. That's a big thing on the scale. After four taels of goose feathers that were originally not worth mentioning are put on the scale, they become a powerful force. It can crush people to death and turn them into flesh and bones.”

Qi Xuansu whispered: "The face of Quanzhen Tao."

Yao Pei stopped looking at him, looked into the vast night, and said: "As the saying goes, a family that has been in the world for hundreds of years is nothing more than accumulating virtue; the best thing in the world is to study."

"I have to admit that Zhang Qingxiao is an idealistic and capable person, but she cannot forget one thing. We are not where we are today, not all by ourselves." Yao Pei said a lot for the first time, "Tianyuan, although you I met you at the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, but I have known you for a long time. It can be said that I have watched you step by step to where you are today. How many people are jealous of your current position? You and I have been swept away by the general trend? Progress is what makes us what we are today. If we leave the trend or deviate from it, we will be nothing.”

Qi Xuansu asked: "What do you mean by this?"

"Tianyuan, you and I are both in the middle of the situation now, and we can't help it at all. Although we are studying in the upper palace of Wanxiang Dao Palace, we are not students who study. We cannot talk about morality unrealistically like those students in the ivory tower. High-profile, we must be like the yin and yang Pisces of Taoism, with one foot on the yang side and one foot on the yin side. There is yang in yin, and there is yin in yang. We must hold high the conventional moral laws with one hand, and practice unruliness with the other. A bloody butcher knife, so when necessary, put away your big, round heart of sympathy." Yao Pei's tone was calm, but he could not hide the coldness in it.

Qi Xuansu did not refute. He was not a sympathetic person either. He instead said, "Since you want to deal with all the members of the Ziguang Society in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, what should we do next?"

"Hu Jiaode can't run away. The flying knife I inserted into him is not just a flying knife. It can turn into my eyes when necessary." Yao Pei said the reason why she did not pursue Hu Jiaode. "I would like to see where you can escape to, or what other arrangements Ziguang Society has in the Wanxiang Dao Palace."

Qi Xuansu asked: "What if he pulls out the flying knife?"

"Throwing knives are not easy to pull out." Yao Pei said calmly, "Pull out the radish and bring out the mud. If he wants to pull out my throwing knives, he must be prepared to cut the flesh first."

After saying that, Yao Pei flicked his finger, and a fragment that looked like a blade appeared in front of the two of them. It reflected the profile of Hu Jiaode. This seemed to be the flying knife inserted into Hu Jiaode's shoulder.

Yao Pei flicked his fingers again, and another piece of the same fragment appeared, which corresponded to the flying knife inserted in Hu Jiaode's back.

With such a snap of his fingers, except for the flying knife that was blocked by Hu Jiaode, the corresponding angles of all the flying knives appeared in front of Yao Pei. Although Hu Jiaode was moving at high speed and the scene changed extremely quickly, Yao Pei could still see it with his "heaven calculation".

From the very beginning, Yao Pei had no intention of killing Hu Jiaode. She wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop, so she deliberately scared Hu Jiaode away. If Hu Jiaode took this opportunity to look for his companions, she would be playing into her own hands.

This should have been Qi Jianyuan's responsibility, but now she had to clean up the mess.
