Huangxiu

Chapter 85 Mural
He figured it out before he could even say it.

The last time Chu Zhiyuan was able to act decisively and display his amazing intuition was because it involved his woman.

This time, it was just a matter of the Zhenwu Division. As a distinguished prince, Chu Zhiyuan would not act rashly.

If he took action this time, would the prince have to take action if there were any difficult cases to solve in the future? If he did not take action, would he be blamed?
The Crown Prince is a Yuanwailang, not a subordinate of the Zhenwu Division.

Instead of helping the Zhenwu Division solve cases, it would have been better for him to join the Zhenwu Division directly. Why would he have to go to the Ministry of Rites?
If I were Chu Zhiyuan, I would never do such a thing.

Since Chu Zhiyuan is unwilling, if I spread the news, it would be equivalent to forcing him. He will definitely be dissatisfied and find an opportunity to deal with me in the future.

Although the Zongwu Division and the Zhenwu Division are not subordinate to each other, don't forget that he has a very good relationship with Huang Shirong. Will Huang Shirong vent his anger for him?

In short, it is better not to offend these wealthy people if you can avoid it.

"Sir!" A young master from the Zhenwu Division came in from outside, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "The disciples of the Zhenyi Sect are making a fuss!"

"What are you fussing about?" A middle-aged man in brocade clothes said in a deep voice, "We are still investigating. What's there to fuss about?"

"They demanded severe punishment for the murderer." The young master was tall and handsome, and said seriously, "I don't think the situation is appropriate."

"Why is it inappropriate?"

"These disciples are too emotional. If provoked, they might start fighting."

The middle-aged man in brocade clothes sneered: "Do they dare to hit us?"

"I'm afraid they're going to attack Feihua Sword Sect." The handsome young man lowered his voice and said, "I heard someone shouting, it must be Song Feiqiong from Feihua Sword Sect who did it."

"Nonsense! ...Too much nonsense!"

The middle-aged man in brocade clothes suddenly changed his expression.

When it comes to a grandmaster, one must be extremely careful. One mistake could lead to big trouble. These guys actually shouted out Song Feiqiong's name. They simply don't know their place!
Without checking anything, you dare to shout out that it is Song Feiqiong.

This must be someone with ulterior motives instigating this. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "Find out who is instigating this. Capture the leader first!"

"Wait a minute, Xiao Hu!" another middle-aged man in brocade clothes hurriedly stopped him.

He said to the two people who were looking over and Wan Yang, "Don't be so hasty to attack. Once you attack, they will transfer their anger and hatred to us. For now, we should persuade them and coax them not to really fight."

"...makes sense."

"Yes, Hall Master, Deputy Hall Master, I will go then."

"Go quickly, go quickly."

After the handsome young man left, the head and deputy head of the West Third Hall showed a worried look: "Old Wan, think of a solution."

"...Then we can only ask Jing San." Wan Yang thought for a moment: "He is best at observing auras, maybe he can figure out something."

"Okay, then please invite Jing San!"

"It just so happens that Jing San just returned to Beijing a few days ago!"

-

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Bai Jingrong who was standing at the bottom of the stairs.

Bai Jingrong had already wiped his face clean, his nose was red, and he said seriously: "Since you said so, I will believe you for once. I believe that as a noble, you will not succumb to Song Feiqiong's tyranny."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "First make sure it's Song Feiqiong before you say that."

"I'm afraid that the Zhenwu Division will try to avoid responsibility and be afraid of Song Feiqiong, so they will turn black into white and dare not say it was Song Feiqiong!"

"Elder Bai, you have a misunderstanding about the Zhenwu Division," Chu Zhiyuan said, "The Zhenwu Division is only responsible for investigation and execution. It has no right to decide how to sentence. It must be decided by our Ministry of Rites."

"..."

"Let's go and see if there is any result." Chu Zhiyuan looked up at the sky, wanting to resolve the matter as soon as possible so as not to delay his own important matters.

So he got up and walked out.

Gao Lingfeng hurried to follow.

……

They soon arrived at the altar of the Zhenyi Sect and came to the courtyard of the sect's elder Bai Jingmang.

The master of Zhenwu Division recognized Chu Zhiyuan and Gao Lingfeng, and let them pass while going in to report.

When they entered the courtyard, the head of the West Third Hall, Sun Xigui, and the deputy head, Chu Xingyao, came over and saluted.

Wan Yang also bowed deeply.

Chu Zhiyuan exchanged a few pleasantries with a smile, and nodded and smiled at Wan Yang specifically.

A burly man came out of the house and said sullenly, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be He Jiuji!"

"He Jiuji?" Everyone looked puzzled, obviously they had never heard of this name.

"Jing San, who is this He Jiuji? I've never heard of him."

Jing San said in a deep voice: "He was a lone killer. Many people who died at his hands thought it was an accident. He was proficient in the Sky Star Shattering Heart Palm, which shattered the heart meridians and made people die of heart disease."

"Heavenly Star Heart-Breaking Palm..."

Everyone shook their heads, having never heard of this palm technique.

"He has been killing people in the northwest and rarely comes to the capital. I didn't expect that when I returned to Beijing, he would also return to Beijing."

"Have you ever fought against him?"

"We fought three times. His Qinggong was very powerful, but we were unable to catch him... He is a killer. Whoever gives more money will listen to him. It's very troublesome."

"That means it's not Grandmaster Song Feiqiong?"

"I have never seen Grandmaster Song, but this technique and aura are from the Heavenly Star Shattering Heart Palm. It is very weak, but it can't be hidden from me."

Everyone looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Bai Jingrong.

Bai Jingrong's face was gloomy.

Chu Zhiyuan walked into the room and saw an old man lying on the couch. His face was ruddy as if he was asleep, and there was no sign of death at all.

Chu Zhiyuan reached out and pressed it.

Suddenly he could see the inside of his body clearly and raised his eyebrows secretly.

He closed his eyes and reached out to press the old man's shoulders, arms, thighs, and calves.

As if lost in thought.

Everyone stared at him.

After a while, Chu Zhiyuan stood up, opened his eyes, clapped his hands, and shook his head, saying, "I can't see anything, so let's look for this He Jiuji."

"Yes, go after He Jiuji!" Sun Xigui said in a deep voice, "Jing San, since you recognize him, then you should be responsible for the pursuit. There are many experts in the capital now. Six masters are enough, right?"

"That's enough!" Jing San said solemnly.

Afterwards, Sun Xigui began to mobilize his troops and sent out six masters to follow Jing San to hunt down the killer He Jiuji.

Chu Zhiyuan said, "Alright, Elder Bai, calm down the disciples in the sect and stop making trouble!"

"..."

"Now that the Dazhen envoys are here, the capital is at its most tense. If your religion causes trouble, don't blame the court for being rude!"

"Okay." Bai Jingrong agreed helplessly.

Chu Zhiyuan left the headquarters of Zhenyi Sect directly and asked Gao Lingfeng to go back. He went directly to Tianbao Division accompanied by Zou Fang, Guo Chi, Gao Jiong, Sun Yan, Wu Ji and Dong Xiao.

-

On the way to Tianbaosi, Chu Zhiyuan walked slowly, getting slower and slower.

His mind was recalling the secret room beneath Bai Jingmang's yard.

The secret room is more than ten feet deep and almost ten stories high. No wonder I didn’t notice it with my super sense when I passed by Zhenyi Sect.

He could tell that this secret room was very old.

The secret room was filled with traps, and it looked like no one had entered or left it for a long time, so it was covered with dust and moss.

The secret room was empty, with almost nothing in it, but there was a mural on the wall, which was repainted with a layer of mud.

Even if you knock on it, it is difficult to find the mural.

There are nine pictures painted on the mural.

There is a line of small words next to the picture: "Qionghua Jiuzhanglu".

There is a bright moon on the top of the picture, and a man admiring flowers under the moon below. The man's posture is different in each picture.

Chu Zhiyuan knew at a glance that these were nine pictures of practicing exercises, similar to standing meditation.

There are no other texts on these nine pictures except that line of small characters.

There are two situations. Either there are secret formulas that are not recorded in the picture, or it is simple standing meditation that does not require words.

More importantly, he knew that the Nine Chapters of Qionghua was the ancient martial arts passed down from the Yaoyue Palace.
