The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 199 Commoner Appearance: You Are Here ([-] words for subscription)
In front of the White Tiger Hall.

The physicist who was tied up by five flowers yelled at him and showed extreme resistance.

It wasn't until a Wulin League disciple kicked him on the stomach, that the latter let out a "wow" in pain, bowed his body like a shrimp, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and then he stopped.

And seeing the "suspect" behave like this, the heroes of the rivers and lakes present looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What's wrong with you?" In the crowd, Yu Yu keenly noticed the change in Ji Ping'an's expression—from the time when the physiognomist started rolling around, the expression of the star official beside him changed a little.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was just a normal frown and confusion.

But the saint has been with him for a long time anyway, and girls are relatively delicate, even Yu Yu is no exception, so she couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, I think it looks familiar, but I haven't seen it before." Ji Pingan replied through voice transmission.

Yu Yu let out an "oh" and didn't think much about it.

Although people in the world are different, there are actually many similar people. She also had many similar experiences, and felt that a stranger looked familiar.

But the saint didn't know that the real meaning of Ji Ping'an's words was:

The temperament and demeanor of the physiognomist in front of him reminded him of a certain "old friend".

However, he is not sure whether this feeling is an illusion.

At this time, seeing the fortune teller became honest, Jiang Huai, the leader of the martial arts alliance, stared at him with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Is he going to escape?"

This sentence is a question to the disciples.

The messenger gave an "en" and explained carefully:
"When we passed your order to the town guard, we found him and told him to stop, but the kid ran away. We saw his whereabouts suspicious, so we arrested him."

Jiang Xiaotang, who was dressed in a cheongsam, said strangely: "Is this person very weak?"

At this time, before the messenger could reply, the young physiognomy lying on the ground became displeased and hummed:
"This immortal just doesn't want to take action against you, a bunch of vulgar warriors, bah!"

The map shot belongs to yes.

Immortal... A group of Jianghu people are itching their teeth, gearing up, and have the urge to beat this person up.

So it is indeed weak... Jiang Huai frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Do you recognize me?"

Like a worm, the young physiognomy chrysalis chrysalis on the ground, barely sitting up.

Shaking the disheveled hair, revealing a featureless face thrown in the crowd, glanced at him, and said:
"The leader of the martial arts, you can tell it at a glance."

Jiang Huai squinted his eyes and tilted his head to signal. Immediately, a disciple stepped forward, dragged him to the area covered by the "White Tiger Hall" plaque, and kicked him in.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as the young Xiangshifu landed on the ground, a tiger's roar sounded in his ears, his eyes were dull and distracted.

"Who are you?" Jiang Huai asked.

The physiognomist's tone was dull, and he said with some fear: "Qi Men San Ren, look... a physiognomy."

"Facing arrest, why do you want to run away?"

"They were chasing me, and they ran away subconsciously." The physicist said confidently.

"..." Jiang Huai was silent for a while, squeezed the center of her brows, and emphasized:
"I mean, why did you run out of town?"

Under the White Tiger Hall, the young physiognomist had no resistance and confided the truth:

"I've seen my face. There are dark clouds covering the top recently, and there will be disasters. I think there will be danger here, so I want to leave."

Jiang Huai's eyes were sharp: "Calamity? What is it?"

The physicist shook his head: "I didn't know before."

Then he nodded again and said:

"But now I know, being caught by you, this should be my catastrophe."

"Star Official" Ji Pingan stood in the crowd and inhaled lightly, the logic closed the loop.

Because it was predicted that there would be disasters and catastrophes, he wanted to escape, and it was precisely this behavior of escaping that led to the "disaster" of being caught.

Jiang Huai understood, and a look of absurdity appeared on his face.

But I'm really not sure about the logic of Xuanmen Physiognomy, so I just get straight to the point:
"Let me ask you, do you know about the death of Tiancan sect master? Did you participate in it? Is this matter related to you?"

The young physiognomist looked blank and denied San Lian:

"I don't know, I didn't participate, and it has nothing to do with me."

This……

Hearing this, a large group of Jianghu people present looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to hide their disappointment.

Obviously, it seems that an oolong incident has happened, and the physicist in front of him is not in line with expectations in terms of strength, temperament, or verification results.

There is a high probability that it is indeed a wrong catch.

Jiang Huai was silent for a while, and asked again and again from various angles, with no exceptions.

The scene was embarrassing for a moment, and finally, Jiang Xiaotang passed a step, and said calmly:
"This person's ability to pass the White Tiger's inspection may indeed have nothing to do with him, but after all, he is too sneaky and the suspicion has not been completely cleared. It is better to detain him first and release him after the truth is revealed."

For a "scattered person" with no background, the Wulin League has no burden to deal with.

Jiang Huai exhaled, nodded and said:

"so be it."

Immediately someone took the latter away, and as soon as the Xiangshifu got out of the cover of the magic weapon, he made a lot of noise and complained loudly, but no one paid any attention to him.

Only Ji Ping'an's eyes were strange, and he felt the sense of familiarity getting stronger.

What's more, he just observed some small movements of the other party, and the small details of the body are all related to an old acquaintance in his memory.

That is to say, the founder of "Tianji Pavilion", known by people in the world as "Buyi Shenxiang", is exactly the same.

"No way...it can't be really your kid..."

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Ji Ping'an would have wanted to imitate Ding Huan, so he took the opportunity to ask a few words.

However, if it was really that old friend, it would not be difficult for him to bypass the so-called "Baihutang" interrogation. In other words, what he just said may not be true.

When the young physiognomist was taken away, new news came one after another.

That is to say, those Jianghu people in Qixia Town who meet both the "breaking nine realms" and "swordsmanship" were invited over one after another, and the number of them was not small.

On the one hand, it is the accumulation of martial arts in the Central Plains for many years, and the total number of people is quite considerable.

In addition, it was also in the past few months that the spiritual essence of heaven and earth recovered, and many warriors who were stuck at the peak of nourishing qi broke through collectively, resulting in a serious expansion of the number of people at this level.

Ji Pingan glanced over and was attracted by Wei Huayang in the team.

Wearing a red cloth skirt and a bamboo hat, the sassy heroine looked cold and dissatisfied.

Sensing his gaze, he looked over with black and white eyes, and then seemed to roll his eyes.

As for what, didn't it just test you once before... Ji Pingan was speechless, thinking that women like to hold grudges too much.

However, it was also this glance that reminded him that Wei Huayang seemed to have gone out early in the morning...

Speaking of which, the identity of this woman is also quite suspicious, she is a solo traveler in name, but these days, she goes out every day during the day and only returns at night, and she always feels that her behavior is a bit weird.

Is it...

At this time, it was Wei Huayang's turn to stand in front of the White Tiger Hall. She glanced at the old plaque and said:

"The death of the Tiancan sect master has nothing to do with me."

The wind chime was motionless and unresponsive.

……

……

In the end, the people who were found were tested one by one, but the murderer was still not found.

Since everyone could not be detained, Jiang Huai had no choice but to order that the alliance be suspended first, and all parties go back to wait for the results of the investigation, and then reopen the meeting when the truth comes out.

At the same time, Qixia Town was ordered to be blocked inside and outside, and the warriors in the town were prohibited from leaving without permission.

For a while, the news about the killing of the head of the Tiancan Sect spread throughout Qixia Town and became the hottest topic of discussion.

A sense of tension and chill, and an atmosphere of self-insecurity enveloped the ancient town.

evening.

Inside the hotel room.

Ji Pingan, Yu Yu, and Pei Qian sat down with Lu Qing, the invited disciple of Longhushan, to discuss the case.

"After so long, there is still no clue. Now the whole town is discussing that the conflict between the old and the new faction is getting worse. A group of people headed by the Tiancan faction are intentionally or unintentionally spreading the word that the murderer belongs to our old martial arts."

Lu Qing picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, looking quite annoyed.

Sitting in the chair, Ji Pingan asked slowly:

"What did Grandmaster Chen say?"

Lu Qing understood what he meant, and said seriously:
"Master was recovering from his injuries. After learning about this incident, he personally came forward and called a meeting with people from the old sect. Xu Ming and Mr. Xu also ran around and interrogated him once with prestige. It was basically confirmed that it was not our old martial arts."

"But Old Wu is the most suspected." Yu Yu was wearing a small skirt, and the old god was sitting on the side commenting.

At the same time feed a piece of pastry into your mouth.

Lu Qing smiled wryly:

"I can't deny this. Frankly speaking, Jiuwu is also a circle, and there are many people in it. Many people have thought about killing the grass and killing him while he is sick. There are even some rumors that my master should have all Killed... many people even thought it was a good kill."

Ji Ping'an was not surprised.

Jianghu warriors are brave and ruthless. This is a big issue of ethos, especially when it involves confrontation between two groups.

As we all know, people are most rational only when they are alone. Once they enter a group, they will be affected and become emotional.

At the same time, the group is also the most difficult to restrain. Now the old and new parties can barely restrain themselves, but if the matter cannot be resolved for a long time, the contradiction between the two sides will become more serious, and the final conflict is predictable.

At that time, the forces he won from the rivers and lakes will also suffer losses.

At the same time, Ji Pingan's brand of "old martial arts" will cause him a lot of trouble.

"That is to say, the suspicion of Jiu Wu cannot be completely ruled out, but at least there is no evidence that your circle did it." Ji Pingan calmly analyzed.

Lu Qing opened his mouth, but finally just nodded dejectedly.

Ji Pingan looked indifferent, and said:

"There are currently several forces in the town, the old martial arts, the new martial arts, and the neutral faction in the martial arts alliance. In fact, everyone is suspected."

Pei Qian shrank aside, hearing the words weakly said:
"Sir, what do you mean, maybe Xinwu directed and acted on his own? Or, it's simply an internal struggle, blaming others?

For example, regarding the internal power struggle of the Tiancan faction, I looked at the deputy head of the sect and looked very suspicious. Don't look at the surface filled with righteous indignation, but the head of the sect is dead, and he is the one who benefits the most.

And if they want to do something, it's the most convenient for them themselves. They secretly poisoned them, and then killed the seriously injured sect master. If they take the position themselves, they can also throw the blame to others. It's the best of both worlds. "

The three of them glanced at him unexpectedly, Lu Qing's eyes lit up even more, and he slapped his thigh fiercely:

"Master Pei's analysis... makes sense!"

The saint also glanced at the little follower in surprise, she didn't expect this round-faced little fat man to be a bit clever.

Pei Qian smiled silly:

"After all, I come from a big family. I see this kind of thing a lot."

That's right, the intrigue within the big clan, the struggle for power and profit is not too common. No matter how simple Pei Qian is, he has been influenced by it for many years, and it is normal to analyze things from this angle.

Ji Pingan was noncommittal:
"Well, this is indeed a way of thinking. Whether it is the internal power struggle of the Tiancan faction or the contradictions within the Xinwu faction, suspicion cannot be ruled out."

Yu Yu asked curiously:
"What about the Wulin League? Do you think they have problems too?"

Ji Pingan said lightly:

"It's just a reasonable doubt. After all, there are too many hatreds in the world, and there are more or less conflicts among various sects. It is normal for someone to resist such a good opportunity."

Pei Qian said with a headache:
"In this way, the scope will be even bigger. If you count enmity, there are so many scattered people and small sects in the whole town. There must be many who have enmity with the head of Tiancan sect."

Cases in Jianghu are sometimes troublesome, and that's where the trouble lies.

An ordinary mortal being killed can be deduced from the perspective of who has the motive and who benefits from the latter.

However, grievances, hatred, and interests in the world are intricate, and it is easy to draw the conclusion of "all suspects".

In fact, Ji Pingan still had a guess that he didn't say, that is, he was a little suspicious that this incident was aimed at him. Before leaving Yuhang, the supervisor clearly mentioned that he would encounter a crisis this time.

Is this a harbinger of crisis?
uncertain.

But Ding Huan's performance always made him vigilant.

Of course, he might be thinking too much.

"Actually, there is another possibility. I think the suspicion is the biggest." Ji Pingan said suddenly.

what?
The three of them glanced over, and saw Ji Pingan dipping his finger in the tea in the cup, and wrote a few words on the table.

……

……

Wulin League, Juyi Hall.

In the evening, the red sun shines on the closed door, and the carvings seem to be burning.

Inside the house, the top officials of the Wulin League with the Jiang family at the core gathered together, and the atmosphere was dull.

Jiang Huai took the main seat and asked:

"How is the result?"

The group of people below shook their heads and reported to each other, saying that the part they were responsible for had not made a clear breakthrough.

"Leader, there are too many suspects, including the Tiancan faction themselves, they may not be clean."

A martial arts alliance elder sighed:
"Most of the sword-wielding warriors in the city who meet the requirements have 'alibi', not to mention they all passed the verification of Baihutang. But there are too many people in the town. Although they are all registered, what can be written may not be For its true strength, we can't drag everyone to the White Tiger Hall to test it once, it consumes too much, and even the magic weapon can't hold it."

The rest joined in.

Jiang Huai remained expressionless and said:

"Baihutang's test may not be accurate."

He looked at the rest of the people and said:

"For example, Mr. Li, who can hold back without answering without changing his face, shows that his spirit is strong. The answer given in front of the hall may not be true. The rest of the people may also have a way to avoid the verification."

Jiang Xiaotang hesitated: "You still doubt him?"

Jiang Huai said seriously:
"This person is too mysterious. Whether it's his identity, his involvement in the dispute between old and new martial arts, or the fact that he opened the underground palace in the former residence of the old leader today... it's all weird. We still don't know his purpose. Moreover, he What exactly did you take from the underground palace?"

After the incident at noon, the Wulin League tried to dig out the gravel outside the underground palace, but after Jiang Huai went there, he found that the underground palace was still there, but it was full of gravel and collapsed.

The old building was also dilapidated.

He groped for a long time, but found nothing of value except for some swords left on the wall.

If it weren't for Jiang Huai being the leader of the alliance, being watched by many forces at the same time, and Ji Ping'an's inexplicable bond with the Jiuwu, Yaowang faction and other neutral factions, he would have started to try to "talk" with the other party.

Seeing that the girl was silent, Jiang Huai sighed and said:

"Also, what I am most worried about is not these, but my suspicion that the murderer may come from the Four Sages."

……

……

"Four Saints?!"

In the inn, the three of them were stunned when they saw the words on the table clearly.

Yu Yu frowned:
"Do you suspect that the Four Saints came to sabotage?"

Although the saint is not known for her IQ, she still has basic logical reasoning skills.

Ji Pingan nodded and said:

"Don't forget, the core of this meeting of the Martial Arts League is to discuss how to crusade against the Four Sacred Sects. The news is so widely spread, the Four Sacred Sects must also know about it, how can they just sit and wait for death?"

Pei Qian scratched his head and said:

"So, they will send people to sabotage this alliance and take the opportunity to kill the head of the Tiancan sect, which can stir up conflicts between the old and new factions. Once this matter cannot be resolved, then no matter how high Jiang Huai's prestige is, he will not be able to bring the martial arts together. If the alliance is twisted into a single rope, then the power of the crusade against the Four Sacred Religions will be greatly reduced."

Although the third young master looks festive, he still thinks deeply about problems.

After Lu Qing heard it, he slapped his thigh and suddenly realized:

"It seems... makes sense. As long as the Wulin League keeps fighting, it is equivalent to disintegrating the enemy from within. Moreover, the Four Sages are also fully capable of killing people. In this way, there is a high probability that the murderer will not participate in the lie detection today. Among the crowd, but hiding in a corner of the town."

Ji Pingan said lightly:

"There is another layer, which is to plant the seeds of distrust. Jiang Huai is not stupid, and he must have thought of this. From his point of view, if he cannot tell where the people of the Four Sages are hiding, then even if he orders a crusade , will also be suspicious, and even the various factions are suspicious of each other."

One more argument he did not make is that he secretly tried astrology, but was unable to obtain definite instructions.

In his current state, if the divination fails, either the murderer is above the well, or the matter involves a larger force that can interfere with the result of the divination. Of course, it may also involve a reborn person.

After discussing, everyone felt that there were many doubts, and in the end they didn't have any ideas.

Lu Qing bid farewell and left, Yu Yu wanted to ask Ji Pingan about the underground palace next time, but seeing that he refused to say anything, he pursed his lips and went back to his room angrily.

The door was slammed loudly, and the saint was very angry.

……

Juyi Hall.

Jiang Xiaotang wondered:

"So, do you think that the Four Sages want to use this method to destroy the alliance? There is indeed some truth, but if this is the case, Mr. Li's suspicion will be even smaller."

After a pause, she said cryptically:

"After all, he is..."

She didn't say the word "sword holder", but the meaning was clear.

Not long ago, the Martial Temple in Yuhang City was destroyed, and the Four Saints stole the national fortune, but was interrupted. In the process, there was a fight between the Four Saints and the dark net killer.

Jiang Xiaotang believes that this is enough to explain his position.

The dark net and the Four Saints are obviously opposite.

Jiang Huai sighed:

"That's why I doubt it. You know, he just claims to be from the dark web, but how to prove it?"

Jiang Xiaotang choked, yes, she did lack direct evidence, everything stemmed from speculation, and Ji Pingan's generous admission.

But what if Ji Ping'an was lying?Isn't he the dark net swordsman?

Jiang Huai looked solemn and said:
"Also, his behavior of helping Jiuwu is also very strange, lacking a clear motive. If he doesn't help, the result will be Xinwu's victory. At that time, even if the head of the Tiancan Sect dies, causing a fight between the two factions, but Xinwu won a big victory. Against the background of the situation, the old warriors did not have the strength to fight back. I still have the confidence to suppress it."

"But now, the old martial arts have won, and Chen Qingsheng is not only alive, but has even improved to a higher level. The conflict between the two factions is becoming more and more difficult to resolve. If this Mr. Li is a member of the Four Sages, then everything will be explained. , Whether it is helping the old martial arts, increasing the internal conflicts of the martial arts alliance, or opening the underground palace today to cover the murderer, it can be explained."

Jiang Xiaotang was shaken for a while, but she still gritted her teeth and said:

"I still don't think it's him."

The leader in purple was puzzled: "Why?"

Jiang Xiaotang thought for a while and said, "A woman's intuition."

Jiang Huai was speechless, pinched his brows, and said:
"Look again, I have sent someone to watch nearby, I hope it's not him."

……

……

Inside the inn.

Ji Pingan was too lazy to take care of Yu Yu's little emotions, turned his head to look at the gradually sinking sunset outside the window, raised his hand to take out the Taoist scriptures, and shook it lightly.

Whoosh!
Two translucent figures appeared at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, facing each other.

On the left is Miss Qi Ling, Jiang Jiang, who is wearing a weird wizard robe, a three-cornered hat, and holding a "mountain scepter" with a dull and mechanical expression.

On the right is Huang Ying, a sword servant in a goose-yellow dress, with an ancient bun, a round face and a glamorous face, holding a guzheng obliquely in his hand.

The second daughter is like two female beasts in the ancient Colosseum, with big eyes and small eyes, a posture of tit for tat.

Ji Pingan was stunned for a moment, before he could speak, two "people" turned their heads at the same time, stared at him, and said in unison:

"who is she?!"

No... Why is there a sense of sight in the Shura field? The problem is that the two of you and I are just pure friendship... Ji Pingan sighed and persuaded:
"Blame me, I didn't take the time to introduce you..."

After some reassurance by him, the two spirits finally put down their guard and cast curious glances at each other.

Jiang Jiang was a little unhappy and said:
"Next time, don't stuff anything in my body without my permission."

Huang Ying turned pale with shock, and looked at "Li Yang" in amazement, thinking that if he hadn't seen him in three days, he should look at him with admiration.

With a black line on his face, Ji Pingan explained:
"Jiang Jiang is not very good at using words...Forget it, we will talk about this later."

He looked at Jiang Jiang:
"Help me hide my figure, I'm going out for a while."

……

night.

When the town was completely plunged into darkness, the "commoner god" who was imprisoned in a certain garden in the Wulin League woke up from his sleep.

Because he was not a "prisoner", the Wulin League did not put him in a dungeon, but put him under house arrest in a room.

At this time, Bu Yi Shenxiang sat up from the bed, yawned, looked through the dark room, looked at the hazy moonlight outside the window, and the light cast by the lantern torches.

He could hear that there were warriors guarding the courtyard, and there were people patrolling from time to time.

"No food delivery..."

He sighed, got out of bed, walked to the table, took a few sips from the kettle, and took a few sips.

Then he picked up the cup, filled it up, and with the help of the faint light, tried to reflect his face on the water surface, and the brilliance in his eyes hesitated.

Use physiognomy to observe your own destiny.

"Huh?" The commoner murmured, "There is gold in the black, is anyone coming tonight?"

He rolled his eyes, ran back to the bed in a hurry, then smoothed his hair with his hands, sat cross-legged, and pretended to be a "master of Taoism".

Close your eyes and wait quietly.

Not long after, the air in the room suddenly distorted, and a human figure emerged little by little like graffiti.

At the same time, the commoner god who heard the voice opened his eyes, showing an inscrutable smile:

"You came."

Ji Pingan looked at the young physicist with weird eyes, and the corners of his mouth also slowly curled up:
"I am coming."
