The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 365

The night is deeper.

The brightly lit Liuhe Building also looks brighter.

But even so, it still couldn't illuminate Luo Piaoling's eyes that were gradually fading.

Everyone in Tingyu Pavilion put their hands down for a long time.

The atmosphere in the hall seemed a bit dull.

At some point, there was already more wine on the table.

For some reason, Luo Piaoling drank wine on his own.

In fact, his drinking capacity is not bad at all, but after being seriously injured a few years ago, it is not as good as before.

In normal times, Weiwei would definitely not let the elder brother drink.

After all, drinking hurts the body, especially if the elder brother loses all his cultivation, drinking will inevitably hurt the body even more.

But now, she couldn't stop him from drinking to drown his sorrows.

Obviously, the eldest brother and she were holding on to the last sliver of luck, hoping that all this was just a coincidence, and that the inner ghost did not really exist.

But the facts always disappoint.

She didn't dare to look at other people's palms, and she didn't know who the ghost was.

But when she saw Eldest Brother's expression, she knew that the inner ghost really existed, and it must be someone she knew well.

She could only hold back her tears, watching the elder brother pour the wine into her mouth cup by cup.

Since the Shifu was destroyed, it was the first time she saw the senior brother so depressed, even when she learned that his cultivation could no longer recover and he could no longer practice martial arts, she had never seen the senior brother give up on himself.

Maybe the heartache is beyond the reach of the physical pain.

There seemed to be tears flowing into her mouth, and Weiwei felt a burst of heartbroken bitterness.

The wine that the senior brother drank should taste like her tears, right?

In a place that should be noisy and lively, the dull atmosphere will never last long, and someone will definitely break it.

At that moment just now, everyone has seen clearly whose hands are the darkest and whose hands are the cleanest.

Who is the ghost in the Red Clothes Sect? People with discerning eyes naturally have a clear mind, and those who are slow in their heads are still at a loss.

They desperately need someone to show them the way.

And tonight, in the Liuhe Building, this kind of people is the most indispensable.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Mr. Luo's plan is very clever, it really is a clever plan, I admire it!" Yu Le clapped his hands and laughed, seeing Luo Piaoling's dejected look, it was not in vain for him to spend a whole night talking.

Luo Piaoling only cared about drinking.

"It seems that Mr. Yu has already seen who is the ghost of the red-clothed sect." Xue Qinghuan said without any doubts.

"Didn't Xue Pavilion Master see it?" Yu Le asked back, and then the corner of his mouth was teased again, and he continued, "Of course, although Mr. Luo's clever plan is good enough, it's just a foil."

Xue Qinghuan said: "Is there anything better than a clever plan?"

Yu Le said: "What is better than a clever plan is a wonderful person who cooperates with the clever plan."

Xue Qinghuan said: "Where is the wonderful man?"

Yu Ledao: "There is one in front of my eyes, so there is no need for Xue Pavilion Master to be humble, and the other is the short shopkeeper. If you two didn't agree at the right time, just relying on Mr. Luo's mystifying and nonsense, just let everyone think about it for a while In half a moment, you can find the flaws in his words."

Xue Qinghuan said: "I also ask Mr. Yu for advice."

Yu Le snorted softly, and said: "The so-called law may exist, but peeling off the rust will transfer the original magnetism of the iron to the hand, which is really nonsense!"

Xueqing laughed and said: "The reason why iron tools rust is that they are corroded by the air. It can indeed be said that the magnetism is lost to the air."

Yu Ledao: "Doesn't Pavilion Master Xue's words mean that the rusty iron has already lost its magnetism?"

Xue Qinghuan said: "So..."

Yu Ledao: "So the hands of the red-clothed ghost don't have the magnetism left when the rust iron is peeled off, and it's no different from ordinary people."

Xue Qinghuan said: "Then the method of rubbing the black charcoal strips will not be able to judge whose hands are more magnetic."

Yu Le said: "No, this is a stupid way."

Xue Qinghuan said: "Mr. Luo asked everyone to witness together, whose palms are darker and whose palms are cleaner, and just now everyone can see it at a glance."

Yu Ledao: "But he didn't say that the one with the darkest palm is the ghost!"

Xue Qinghuan said: "The one with the darkest palm is not the ghost, so could it be the ghost with the cleanest palm?"

Yu Ledao: "Why can't it be like this? The more clear-eyed he is, the more he can boldly rub the black charcoal stick, and his palms will naturally be blackened by the charcoal dust. But the inner ghost himself will only dare to do it because of a guilty conscience. If he acts like he doesn't dare to use force, his hands will definitely be the cleanest in the end."

Hearing this, even those who don't understand it are suddenly stunned.

But Xue Qinghuan didn't show any surprise on her face, and said: "So Mr. Luo's stupid method is not to measure the magnetism of the palm, but to measure the heart."

Yu Le said: "So I have to praise Mr. Luo's clever plan, but he still underestimated the people around him."

Xue Qinghuan frowned, puzzled.

While they were talking, Luo Piaoling almost finished a jar of wine.

Weiwei could only look at her elder brother helplessly, seeing his bloodshot eyes.

Yu Le said: "Master Xue Pavilion, why don't you think about it, you and I can both find the loopholes in Mr. Luo's plan, since the inner ghost has been hiding for so long, isn't it more sensitive and suspicious than us?"

Xue Qinghuan said: "It's also to avoid being discovered by this ghost, Mr. Luo asked Xue to divide the charcoal block into 23 pieces, and they will take the test at the same time."

Yu Ledao: "This trick is indeed an insurance method, but now it seems that it has already been seen through."

Xue Qinghuan said: "Why did Mr. Yu say such a thing?"

Yu Ledao: "As I said just now, only those with a guilty conscience dare not rub black charcoal sticks."

Xue Qinghuan said: "Young Master Yu did indeed say that just now."

Yu Le said again: "But do you see that this kind brother has a little guilt?"

Xue Qinghuan followed his words and looked at the other table next to him.

There are five people at this table.

The two men with gloomy faces and serious eyes are the Eighteen Shadow Riders.

The man who is elegant and handsome, with the air of a gentleman is Ji Zhe.

The young man with dull eyes and immature face is Ruan Gu.

There was one person left, a middle-aged man with a long beard and a face like a jujube, eyes like an eagle, and it was Ci Feng that Yu Le mentioned.

He is also the one with the cleanest palms among the 23 people in Tingyu Pavilion at the moment.

There was a bit of desolation in those burning eyes, but there was absolutely no sign of guilt.

Xue Qinghuan sighed softly and said, "No."

He couldn't help looking at Luo Piaoling.

I saw that he had opened the second altar of wine.

There were already two lines of tears on Weiwei's face, she didn't know if it was heartache seeing Luo Piaoling like this, or because she couldn't control her emotions after hearing that Ci Feng was actually an inner ghost.

Raven on the side started to fidget since Luo Piaoling started drinking.

When Yu Le revealed their true identities, and even mentioned the cause of the Eighteen Shadow Riders, they felt extremely tormented and painful in their hearts, because those were the gloomy years that they least wanted to recall.

As the years passed, the Eighteen Shadow Riders became one.

Earlier, Raven was unable to suppress the pain in his heart and collapsed, as did the other 17 people.

But when they were struggling to support, they saw Luo Piaoling with a calm demeanor.

That look of indifference made Raven and the others seem to see the late old master Shi Xin's extraordinary concentration on the battlefield, unruffled and unflappable.

In addition, there is a reassuring and relaxing smile that Shi Xin does not have.

At that moment, Raven and the other seventeen brothers knew that they had been completely conquered by Luo Piaoling.

They have known Luo Piaoling for less than a month, and their sincere admiration for him can only be described as increasing day by day.

They initially chose to join Tingyu Pavilion, or they had the mentality of repaying General Shi's kindness.

But after the Xunfenggu incident, and the seven days and seven nights of sharing joys and sorrows, they have decided to follow Luo Piaoling, and they will never leave.

Seeing the "chief general" tormenting himself like this, without the same experience, he couldn't empathize with him.

But he can't stand by and watch!

When Raven made up his mind to dissuade Luo Piaoling from drinking, there was a hand on his shoulder.

Xue Qinghuan stopped him, and gave him a non-interfering look.

Xue Qinghuan not only drinks, but also knows how to drink.

A person who doesn't usually drink, if he starts to drink, he will generally have two mentalities, one is to escape, and the other is to say goodbye to the past.

From Xue Qinghuan's point of view, Luo Piaoling is not a person who will escape from difficulties.

He just faced it in another way, he was saying goodbye to the past and the people in the past.

Thinking that this person occupies a considerable place in his heart, it is naturally painful to let him go now.

Borrowing alcohol is not to relieve sorrow, but to relieve pain.

Seeing this, Raven understood Xue Qinghuan's intentions, but he was not angry at all. What happened tonight had nothing to do with Xue Qinghuan.

As the leader of the Eighteen Shadow Riders most trusted by General Shi, he must not watch General Shi's successor humiliate him like this.

He broke free from Xue Qinghuan's hand, got up and went to Luo Piaoling's wine jar.

Unexpectedly, Luo Piaoling hugged the wine jar directly into his arms and let him explore the sky with one hand.

Luo Piaoling said coldly: "Why did you do this?"
