The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 457

Jiang Yichen sorted out his thoughts, integrated the stories he heard from Dandan and Mei Huaijin and the clues he found privately, and briefly told Leng Mei about the story of Long Duoduo, which happened the year before last and is now widely recognized by the general public. The process and result of the disintegration and disintegration of the wounded escape into the demon village and the demon palace.

Then he asked: "What kind of exercise is that "Heart Demon Record"?"

Jiang Yichen's question was simple, but it hit the nail on the head.

According to legend, "Heart Demon Records" was written by the heart demon old man who founded the demon palace with all his life. It is an evil method that can not only suck the blood of living people but also absorb the skills of martial arts practitioners. It wasn't until Long Duoduo lost control due to bloodthirsty killings that he was broken.

Although there are many sources of evidence for the facts that happened that day, and there is no trace of fabrication according to the clues investigated afterwards, it may be from the trust of the sword fairy's "fellow family", Jiang Yichen always has the last sliver of doubt about this matter.

And Leng Mei's attitude towards Long Duoduo undoubtedly deepened Jiang Yichen's doubts.

If "Heart Demon Record" is really a skill of evil spirits, then I have worried too much.

But if "Heart Demon Record" is not some kind of evil magic, then everything that happened is just a deception.

A scam that would have been seamless.

It's a pity that the perfect clothes are difficult to sew. This situation is sure that Long Duoduo will not be able to turn around based on the words of his family, but it is unlikely that there will be fish that slip through the net.

Leng Mei was the fish that slipped through the net.

When Jiang Yichen narrated the incident, Leng Mei had been listening calmly, as if she was listening to something that had nothing to do with her, or she had expected it, so these things happened to her as a matter of course.

As soon as Jiang Yichen asked the question, Leng Mei immediately understood his intentions, as long as the theory of "Heart Demon Record" was not true, everything would be self-defeating.

""Heart Demon Records" is the foundation of the establishment of the Demon Palace. It is true that it is only passed down from generation to generation by the previous Palace Masters of the Demon Palace, but it is not so secret. As long as the current Palace Master allows it, anyone can read it."

Leng Mei's answer was extremely concise and to the point, Jiang Yichen understood it completely.

There are many gangs in Jianghu who base their factions on martial arts, but the martial arts of these gangs should be well-known in the world rather than few people, and it will not only be passed on to the leader of the gang, otherwise forming a gang is just empty talk.

However, since "Heart Demon Record" is the foundation of the Demon Palace, it can in turn prove that "Heart Demon Record" is not a martial art at all.

"Anyone can see?"

Jiang Yichen repeated in a low voice, as if he was asking Leng Mei, or talking to himself.

At the end of Leng Mei's words, she explained that, as far as she knew, Long Duoduo had allowed others to read "Inner Demon Record".

How many people have read, or at least glimpsed the true face of Lushan in "The Demon of Heart"?

Why are these people silent so far?

was killed?

Or was it bought?

Or dare not speak up?

"I've seen it."

Or like Leng Mei, only Jiang Yichen can hear even if he speaks.

Leng Mei added: "You have already received the benefits of "Inner Demon Records"."

"Prescription to treat blinding sand?" Jiang Yichen was slightly startled, and soon thought of the origin of the thing wrapped in front of his eyes.

Leng Mei affirmed: "The old palace lord's beautiful life has not prevented her from living meticulously. In the past hundred years of life, she will always write down interesting things casually. There are customs and customs in various places, and there are experiences and understandings at a certain moment. After the palace, he spent several years collecting everything he had seen, heard, and done in a volume, ranging from the study of how officials govern the country to the small methods of daily home improvement, covering everything from gang management to rural gossip. There are many strange medicines and folk prescriptions, and after the book is written, it is named "Xin Demon Records."

Hearing the words, Jiang Yichen couldn't help sighing: "This book is just the foundation of the sect of the Demon Palace, it can be called a grand ceremony passed down from generation to generation!"

At the same time, I also understand why Leng Mei knows many things that are rarely seen in the world. It turns out that she learned it from "The Demon of Heart".

Jiang Yichen asked again: "How many times have you seen it?"

Leng Mei said: "I've read it through, but unfortunately I don't remember much."

Jiang Yichen said: "If you are lucky enough to read it, you will always gain a lot of knowledge."

Leng Mei said: "Not bad."

Jiang Yichen asked further: "Are there any mysterious and strange exercises recorded in it?"

Leng Mei said: "Not a lot. After all, the old palace master was also a generation of famous martial arts masters. When he came across some strange exercises, he spared no effort to record them. In addition to marking the characteristics of each exercise, he would also analyze and decipher them in detail according to his understanding. Dao, but there is no record of any martial arts cultivation methods."

Jiang Yichen frowned, and asked solemnly: "Master Long, can he learn the method of sucking blood and absorbing energy that the world doesn't know?"

Leng Mei said: "Nonsense."

Not knowing whether to let out a long sigh or be more worried, Jiang Yichen's furrowed brows could not be relaxed, and he said in a deep voice, "Sure enough, it's all fake."

"Presumably Zhan Tian has also read the contents of "Heart Demon Record"?"

Although he was asking, Jiang Yichen's tone seemed very certain.

Leng Mei also affirmed his deduction, saying: "Zhan Tian is Palace Master's right-hand man, if he wants to see it, Palace Master will not refuse."

"It sounds like he doesn't know as much about "Inner Demon Records" as you do."

"All the complicated affairs of the Devil's Palace are handled by him as his deputy, so it's not like I can always have some free time to browse."

"Then why did he betray Lord Long?"

"As I said before, although he is the second in command of the Demon Palace, he does the most complicated work. The palace master seldom manages the affairs of the gang, and only makes decisions on big issues. The focus of everyone, in comparison, the former will always feel unworthy."

Out of jealousy?

Perhaps because of Yin Li, Jiang Yichen could easily think of Zhan Tian's motive for betraying Long Duoduo.

He felt a little bored, as if people in the world would always blame others for their own troubles and take their anger out on others.

Jiang Yichen had only met Long Duoduo once, but he can still roughly recall the radiant and dazzling man in the elegant area of ​​Yichun Courtyard a few years ago, with a happy expression and no formality, which made people feel very cordial.

What about Zhantian?

Although he had just seen it from a distance at Wujianping a few days ago, Jiang Yichen's impression of it was particularly vague.

I just remember that when this person stood up to resolve the dispute between him and Yin Li, he looked upright and righteous. After the dispute was resolved, he made a sincere statement without being humble.

Why does Zhantian compete with Long Duoduo?

Jiang Yichen said: "How much is Zhan Tian's martial arts different from that of Lord Long?"

Leng Mei said: "Do it with all your strength?"

Jiang Yichen said: "Do it with all your strength."

Leng Mei said: "Palace Master is obsessed with martial arts, using the essence of all Taos for his own use. Zhan Tian does not have the posture of Palace Master, but he is born diligent and never slackens. Apart from constantly polishing himself, he also Knowing how to use dirty tricks to strengthen and strengthen the weak, even if you have a life-and-death battle with the palace master, you will only be slightly inferior."

Jiang Yichen said: "With such confidence, naturally he is unwilling to condescend to the leader of Long Gang. You have already discovered Zhantian's strange intentions?"

The word "you" refers to Long Duoduo and Long Duoduo's most loyal confidantes, including Leng Mei.

Although Jiang Yichen couldn't see it, he could clearly perceive Leng Mei's tone and mood as usual, as if he had already predicted the direction of the situation.

Leng Mei said: "If it wasn't for this, how could I become famous?"

Jiang Yichen was speechless, but couldn't help but suddenly.

Leng Mei is known as the number one female killer in the Demon Palace, after all, she is a killer.

Killers can only be most effective when they hide in the dark.

The more famous the killer is, the more wary others are, and the more difficult it is to kill.

After many years of hard work, Zhan Tian personally took care of many matters in the Demon Palace. Although Long Duoduo was sitting on the name of the palace master and enjoying the power of the gang leader, he had been emptied to a certain extent. Zhan Tian's personal strength was not much worse than Long Duoduo. The dissatisfaction in his heart and the growing ambition finally made him determined not to condescend to the young man.

In order to weaken Long Duoduo's most loyal support in the Demon Palace, Zhan Tian secretly deployed, using both hard and soft tactics, trying to get the best result at the lowest cost, and tried his best not to make too much noise for Long Duoduo to notice.

Leng Mei is the first to bear the brunt. As her reputation grows, she can only participate in more ostensible gang missions. With less meritorious service, her influence in the Demon Palace is gradually not as good as before.

But since Long Duoduo has discovered it, why not stop it?

"The palace lord is a lazy person, but he just didn't want to live up to the entrustment of the previous palace lord, so he gradually handed over a lot of power to Zhantian over the years, leaving only a false name, thinking that Zhantian and him had a strong friendship for nearly ten years, should It’s not too extreme, so most of the time, I turn a blind eye and close my eyes, but in the end, the gutter capsized.” Before Jiang Yichen could ask, Leng Mei had already given the answer.

Jiang Yichen originally thought that there were many twists and turns, but he didn't realize that Leng Mei's explanation was so simple, and he couldn't help but slander Long Duoduo for being so big-hearted. I don't know if he regretted it?

Jiang Yichen didn't feel relieved after unraveling the mystery that had plagued him for a long time. On the contrary, he felt that his mind was still a mess, feeling unreal, and tentatively asked: "It's that simple?"

Leng Mei thought for a while, and said: "If there are other reasons, it is that the Palace Master had already seen the decline of the Nine Provinces and the Four Seas at that time, and wanted to push the two alliances to conclude an alliance. The jumping beam clowns joined forces to surround and kill them."

Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Jiang Yichen's forehead, as if he saw the epitome of the Hundred Flowers Conference. The behind-the-scenes pusher has been preventing the Jianghu Zhengdao from joining forces. What exactly is his intention?

At present, the amount of information is limited, and it is meaningless to delve deeper. Jiang Yichen pursed his lips, asked an irrelevant question, and said, "You trust Lord Long very much, and you know him well?"

Leng Mei said: "I said that I was sent to be trained as an assassin when I was very young, and the Palace Master was watching me at that time."

Jiang Yichen frowned, not understanding what Leng Mei meant.

Leng Mei continued: "After finishing the training, I entered the Demon Palace. He is equivalent to my half brother. He has always taken care of me, knows each other well, and has no defense against me. I have no reason not to trust him. .”

After talking for a long time, Jiang Yichen didn't feel dryness in his mouth, but at this moment he felt that his mouth was so dry that it was difficult to open it. For some reason, the figure of the lone swordsman who appeared out of the sky on Wujianping more than half a month ago appeared in his mind.

Gu Xinhun and Long Duoduo, from their appearance to their speech and behavior, have absolutely no similarities. Only their understanding of swordsmanship and kung fu are at a peak beyond the reach of ordinary people. Could they be the same person?

Jiang Yichen said: "Based on what you know about Lord Long, would he commit himself to another place, change his face, and reappear in another identity for revenge?"

Leng Mei quickly guessed who Jiang Yichen was talking about, and said: "You mean that lonely soul? No, with the palace master's temperament, he must be killed back in a dignified way!"
