Chapter 1191 Searching the Cave

Muye Taoist looked down and said, "It can shoot directly into the stone one foot deep, it must be the Seven Star Bone Penetrating Needle."

Chili Taoist sneered, "Not only the Seven Star Bone Penetrating Needle, I'm afraid this thief is probably not an outsider?"

"Brother, what do you mean?"

"Need I say it? The stone tablet prohibition has not been damaged at all, which means that this person is familiar with the road and does not rely on brute force to enter and exit.

In the end, he was chased by Fairy Feng and actually ran away. The prohibition did not send out any alarm, which means that he must have an entry and exit token on him.

Also, this person covered his face and did not dare to take out the magic weapon and use his magical powers to fight with Junior Sister Feng, which means that he is a cultivator of our sect, how dare he show up!"

In fact, several other elders had this question in their hearts for a long time. Taoist Xuanyi turned around and asked, "Which disciples were on duty last night?"

Zhu Yu replied, "There are five in total. According to the rules of the sect, Zhongwu Temple , Sutra Repository and other important places must be guarded by disciples of the five sects at the same time. "

Master Xuanyi looked at them, "Are you three the guards last night?"

"Yes."

"There are five people in total. Zhu Yu is on Yantai Ridge, Gu Mingcheng is on Diecui Peak, and the one who was killed is Junior Brother Du from Fentian Peak. Who is the other person?"

"It's Zheng Tong from Tiejian Peak."

"Zheng Tong?" Master Xuanyi said, "The Junior Brother Zheng who was tiptoeing that Junior Sister Feng heard Du Yulou say before, isn't his surname Zheng?"

Zhu Yu nodded, "It's him, I saw him last night."

"When?"

"The shift will be handed over at dusk. He and Senior Brother Du will be responsible for patrolling the Zhongwu Temple, and the three of us will be responsible for patrolling the Stele Forest."

Master Dao Chong felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he shouted loudly, "Where is Zheng Tong, quickly find him to come and answer."

"Yes!" Zhu Yu hurried down. After Zhu Yu left, Taoist Xuanyi asked Gu Mingcheng again, "Elder Feng asked you to find reinforcements last night, where did you go?"

Gu Mingcheng quickly replied, "I came out of the Stele Forest and immediately went to Kuixing Tower. It was Master Li Qing and Uncle Li who were on duty last night.

After listening to the disciple's report, he hurriedly got up and rushed to Zhongwu Temple. The disciple followed him, but Uncle Li was too fast and disappeared in a few seconds.

When the disciple returned to the outside of the Stele Forest, he met Brother Zhu. He said that Uncle Li had been here and ordered us to guard outside the Stele Forest and not allow anyone to enter or leave.

We have been guarding outside until now..."

Teacher Xuanyi nodded slightly, "I received a message from Master Qing at four o'clock, saying that an assassin broke into Zhongwu Temple at night and killed a sect member. Disciple, I immediately got up and went to Zhongwu Temple to see Fairy Feng.

After that, I went up to Taiwu Tower and found Du Yulou's body. I examined it and felt that there were many suspicious points, so I took the body of Master Du to Songbai Courtyard, and then urgently summoned all the elders to discuss. "

Jingxu Taoist asked, "Why can't I see Master Li?"

"Master Qing chased the man in black all the way out of the mountain gate and has not returned yet."

Chili Taoist widened his eyes, "Why can the assassin enter and exit the mountain gate freely?"

Xuanyi Taoist turned around and said, "Gu Mingcheng, go to the Deacon Hall to check the records of people entering and leaving the mountain gate in the past few days, and call the leader who was on duty at the mountain gate last night to report. "

"Yes!" Gu Mingcheng hurried away.

Taoist Chi Li slowly said to Dao Chong, "Brother, what is the origin of this disciple named Zheng Tong?" Dao Chong smiled bitterly, "Brother, I am not very clear, I only know that this boy is Shi Feng's disciple, and I heard that he has a good cultivation." Chi Li said coldly, "Of course he has a good cultivation, otherwise how could he come to guard Zhongwu Temple!" Zhongwu Temple is one of the three forbidden areas of Taiji Sect, and patrol guards are required to have a foundation-building cultivation level or above. Taoist Chi Li asked a few more questions, but Dao Chong really couldn't say anything. He was confined to retreat, and the affairs of Tiejian Peak had been handed over to Zhao Heihu and Liuyunzi. In terms of seniority, Zheng Tong should call Dao Chong the great master. How could Dao Chong, the head of the real person, know the specific situation of a fourth-generation disciple? After a cup of tea, Zhu Yu hurried in, "Reporting to the elders, Zheng Tong, Zheng Tong is missing." "What? Tell me in detail!" All the elders widened their eyes. "I just checked and found that Junior Brother Zheng did not return the night watch token in the morning. I went to his cave again, but the door was closed and no one answered. A senior brother next door said that Junior Brother Zheng did not come back all night."

The other elders were silent for a while. They all had an idea in their minds, but they were embarrassed by Taoist Master Dao Chong and could not speak it out. Taoist Master Dao Chong immediately said, "I will send a message to Junior Brother Zhao and others to track down Zheng Tong's whereabouts."

After a while, someone outside said, "Lie Yangzi is here on orders."

"Come in."

A short and fat middle-aged Taoist priest walked in. It was Lie Yangzi from Fentian Peak.

"Meet the Master, meet the elders."

"Lieyangzi, were you in charge of the entrances and exits of the various mountain gates yesterday?"

"Yes."

"Let me ask you, how many people left the sect from the fourth to fifth watch last night?"

Lieyangzi took out a jade slip from his arms and looked at it, "Reporting to the Master, there were five people who left the sect during this shift."

"Is Master Li Qing among them?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Li left from the South Gate at 3:15 a.m."

"Before Master Li Qing, was there anyone else who left from the South Gate during this shift?"

"Yes, the array records that someone also left the sect from the South Gate, just a moment earlier than Senior Brother Li."

"Did the array record who that person was?"

"I've recorded it. This person is Zheng Tong, a disciple of Tiejian Peak."

The room fell silent for a moment. After a while, Taoist Xuanyi waved his hand and said, "You go down first and report to me the information about the people coming in and out of the various mountain gates in the past seven days."

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

As soon as Lieyangzi left, Fairy Feng couldn't wait, "It goes without saying that the masked murderer must be Zheng Tong."

Zhen Dao Chong bowed to Taoist Chi Li and said, "Junior brother, I feel deeply ashamed for the poor teaching of Tiejian Peak, which has produced such an evil disciple who has killed his fellow disciples. I will send an order to Tiejian Peak to arrest Zheng Tong with all my strength and give an explanation to Junior Brother Du."

Taoist Chi Li had a dark face and said nothing. Taoist Xuanyi beside her comforted him, "Brother, don't say that, things haven't been figured out yet..."

Fairy Feng opened her mouth to speak, but Taoist Xuanyi had already stepped out, "...There's no time to lose, let's go to Zheng Tong's cave first."

Zheng Tong's cave is at the foot of Tiejian Peak and Yuxiu Peak. Zheng Tong likes quietness, so he chose a very remote cave in Helonggou.

Five elders of the sect, plus Fairy Feng, Zhu Yu and seven other golden elixirs, drove the escape light and came to Helonggou.

Daochong Zhenren originally wanted to call Zhao Heihu, but Taoist Xuanyi waved his hand, "Don't alarm anyone now."

Fairy Feng looked around and sneered, "This person chose such a remote place with weak spiritual energy as his cave. Obviously, he has something to hide. I'm afraid he has planned it..."

Teacher Xuanyi coughed, "Sister Feng, don't jump to conclusions before things are figured out."

Zheng Tong's cave was quiet, the door was locked, and restrictions were added.

However, this restriction was very common and could not withstand a single blow in front of the five elders. Soon, the cave door opened and everyone stepped in.

The caves of foundation-building cultivators all had regulations, with two stone chambers in front and back, and a spiritual field could be opened in front of the door.

Everyone walked around inside and was quite disappointed. Zheng Tong's cave was very simple. The large stone chamber was empty, but there were many traces on the stone wall, which were left by daily sword practice.

The small room at the back was a bedroom, with a stone bed, a stone table, two bamboo chairs, and a three-layer wooden rack.

There was a teapot and two cups on the stone table. There were three sets of clothes on the wooden rack, all of which were required to be worn for sect ceremonies or special occasions, and two pairs of cloth shoes under the rack.

Apart from this, there were no other items.
