black cute fairy

Chapter 167 Interrogation
After Zi Xun came to the main hall of Yaoxian Peak, he sat on the high platform in the center of the main hall. Jin Liu'er and Kun Bu stood behind him solemnly, while Zi Yue and another purple-clothed disciple stood under the high platform respectively.

Zi Xun thoughtfully looked at the four peak masters who were sitting below: Zixiu from Yaoxian Peak, Zifeng from Spirit Beast Peak, Ziming from Refining Peak, and Tian Qing from Lingjian Peak. Standing behind them were the leaders of each peak. Chief Deacon and Consul Disciple.

There are more than a dozen Eight Immortal chairs placed beside the four major peak masters, which are specially reserved for the Zi family to sit on.

Cumin's body was parked on the white carpet in the center of the main hall, covering his body with a white mourning cloth.

Two white-clothed disciples brought tea trays to serve tea for everyone, and hurriedly left after serving tea.

Zi Xun picked up the teacup, stroked the tea leaves with the tea cover, took a sip of the tea, and then gracefully placed the teacup on the long table in front of him.

He said quietly: "Before Zi's family comes, the four peak masters can first consider how Yuling should be judged?"

Dressed in white, Zixiu stood up quickly, and said calmly, "I believe that Junior Sister Yuling was manipulated by Jin Peng to kill Ziran by mistake. She was not at fault at all, and there is no need to convict her. The Zi family is the Green Snake family. As long as we give the Zi family Some generous compensation will suffice.”

Zi Xun frowned slightly. In the past, Zixiu hated Yu Ling deeply, but now she is able to understand current affairs and speak for Yu Ling. It is a wise move. He pretended to question: "But after all, Yu Ling also killed I'm afraid it's not justified just to compensate someone?"

"But Yuling obviously killed Cumin without knowing it?" Zixiu retorted. Now that Yuling has an accident in Yaoxian Peak, if she doesn't stand by Yuling's side, she is afraid that she will also be hurt. implicated.

Now that there is no father to rely on, she has to learn to judge the situation. The other three peak masters are all Zixun's people, and Xuanyuan Junhao ordered her to protect Zixun. How can she stand idly by when Zixun's beloved pet has an accident?

Zi Xun sneered and nodded, "I don't know what Zi Feng wants?"

Zi Feng stood up and cupped his hands and said: "The disciple thought that although Yu Ling was controlled by Jin Peng, he killed someone after all. In order to make an example of others, he must be punished. Otherwise, in the future, if disciples from the same sect will kill each other, they will use it as an excuse for being manipulated." Disrupted the discipline of the door."

Zi Xun frowned, he looked at Zi Ming and said, "How does Zi Ming feel?"

Zi Ming also stood up and nodded and said: "I think what Brother Zi Feng said is right. Since it is a murder, it should be dealt with seriously, so that no one will take advantage of it and disturb the discipline of the sect!"

Tian Qing didn't wait for Zi Xun to speak, he stood up and cupped his hands and said: "This disciple thinks that Junior Sister Yuling is at fault, but the fault is not dead. As long as the Zi family is willing to spare Yuling, I implore the master to give you a lighter sentence!"

Zi Xun nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that Tian Qing treated Yu Ling pretty well. He smiled and said, "I'll do as you please!"

Zifeng and Ziming looked at each other, they frowned at the same time, always felt that they seemed to be in the wrong position, before Zixun clamored to deal with Yuling seriously, they followed suit, but why did Zixun change all of a sudden? manner?Could it be that you want to test them?

The faces of the two turned livid, each thinking about what Zi Xun meant.

After waiting for about an hour, a white-clothed disciple rushed into the hall, and he hurriedly knelt down to report: "Reporting to the sect master, Lord Huguo has brought the Zi family members here."

After hearing this, Zi Xun got up and walked out slowly, followed by everyone.

Not far outside the hall, Zixue and a group of men and women in white mourning clothes were walking towards Zixun, Zixun nodded slightly and said to Zixue, "Please, Huguokmong!"

Seeing Zixun's abnormal behavior, Zixue didn't need to salute herself with Zixun's status. Could it be because of Ziran's death?He smiled and bowed: "Thank you, senior brother!"

Zi Xun nodded slightly at Zi Tianming to show guilt, Zi Tianming nodded awkwardly at him, and then entered the main hall with Zi Xue, and Yin Xiuying threw herself on Zi Ran's body as soon as she entered, and burst into tears .

Several other female relatives also gathered around Cumin's body and began to suffer. Zitianming couldn't help crying when he looked at Cumin's body. He wanted to go to investigate Cumin's body, but Zixue stopped him. Xue dragged him to Zixun's high platform, and Zixue cupped her hands solemnly and said, "My brother died suddenly last night, please let the head tell the cause of his death!"

Zi Xun stretched out his right hand and said, "Please also invite Duke Hu Guo and Patriarch Zi to sit up, and I will call the perpetrators and witnesses to restore the truth of the matter." After finishing speaking, he said to Kun Bu, "Go and bring Yu Ling and Jin Peng up! "

"Yes, head!" Kunbu walked out quickly after receiving the order, Zixue also walked to his side and sat down under the leadership of Zifeng.

He glanced at the sudden change of the four peak masters, and he was very puzzled. Since Zixun came back from Qingyun Lake, the Tianshu Xianmen seems to have changed, and it is suffering from various assassinations at any time. The four peak masters were assassinated. He has also heard about things, and always feels that things are not as simple as imagined.

Immediately after Yuling's fairy bracelet appeared, Bauhinia celestial grass also appeared in front of the public for the first time. The speed at which the news spread made Zixue speechless. People who want to steal the bauhinia celestial grass are even more ready to move.

Even he knew that there were five groups of people who planned to go to Tianshu Xianmen to steal the bauhinia celestial grass. Zixue was not in the mood to tell Zifeng about it for the time being. talk.

He looked up at Zi Xun, the man with unfathomable cultivation. Based on Xuan Yu's inference, this person's cultivation should be above the late stage of fusion. Judging from his cultivation, Zixun is just a monk at the early stage of fusion. It is impossible to confirm that the gentle and refined man in front of him is the one who forced his way into the blood demon formation.

After Zixun felt Zixue's gaze, he nodded slightly towards him, and the two looked at each other and smiled, treating each other with courtesy as usual.

After a while, Kunbu took four or five disciples and placed Jinpeng's body and the broken qin in the center of the hall. Behind them, followed by the unkempt Yuling with iron chains on his hands and feet, and a bloody coat. gathered on her body.

Her face was haggard, and she staggered into the hall. After seeing Zixue, she felt so guilty, tears poured out, and she knelt down in Zixue's direction. The voice cried out: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Zixue's chest tightened, and her heart ached. Her painful expression proved that Ziran was indeed killed by her, but why did she do this?Zixue sent a voice transmission to her distressedly: "Why did Linger do this?"

"I, I..." Yu Ling was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zi Xun, who sternly reprimanded him: "Zi Xiu first said what happened last night?"

Zixiu hurriedly stood up and said: "I was practicing in the main hall last night, when I heard the cabinet disciple Jin Peng coming to report the He Yunxiao, the witness of the He family extermination case, woke up, so I went to the Bauhinia Immortal Cave to report to the head. After the peak, I heard some disciples say that Jinpeng had shouted in the cabinet that Yuling would kill He Yunxiao, but when I went to the cabinet, I found that Cumin was dead, Yuling was dying in a pool of blood, and He Yunxiao was not alive at all. He didn't die, but Jin Peng disappeared without a trace."

Zi Xun said coldly: "Last night I heard that after He Yunxiao woke up, I went to the cabinet to check, and found that Jin Peng was playing the guqin with puppet art, and she was manipulating Yu Ling to kill me, but I stopped her After that, I escaped, and I immediately ordered everyone to capture Jinpeng alive, but I didn’t expect to be killed by Ziyue." After he finished speaking, he gave Ziyue a displeased look.

Ziyue hurriedly walked to the center of the hall, nodded slightly to Zixun and Zixue, and said, "After I heard the arrest order from the master last night, I chased it out and met Jinpeng at the foot of Yaoxian Peak. At that time, she resisted fiercely. The Guqin also hurt my arm. At that time, if I didn’t resist, I was afraid I would die. So I drew out the Bauhinia Immortal Sword to fight, because the Bauhinia Immortal Sword is powerful, so I accidentally killed Jinpeng and cut off the Guqin. I have no intention of destroying it, but I hope the master will investigate clearly!"

Zi Xun looked at Yu Ling with sharp eyes and said: "These are the testimonies of us outsiders, and Yu Ling is the person involved. You'd better explain what happened clearly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Yu Ling raised her head and saw Zi Xun's eyes, and knew that he was not allowed to tell the truth, she had to follow his fabrications, she glanced at Zixue and felt that she couldn't bear it, so she wanted to go back on her word. Zixun's icy voice: "Ling'er is obedient, do as I say. If you die, I will wipe out the Zi family!"

Yu Ling was taken aback, she frowned and looked at Zi Xun, how could he be so selfish?Zi Xun stared at her, nodded and scolded her: "Say it!"

"I, I..." Yu Ling's eyes were flickering, she lowered her head to avoid everyone's hot eyes, and then said: "Yesterday, Jin Peng and I were in charge of healing He Yunxiao's injuries. Night vigil. After Jinpeng left halfway, I vaguely heard the quarrel between her and Senior Brother Cumin. It seemed that Jinpeng wanted Cumin to help her steal the Bauhinia Grass. "

A sharp voice sounded, and Yu Ling felt her throat tightened, and was pinched by a strange middle-aged woman. She cried and said: "You are talking nonsense, but he is devoted to the Tao, and he has no personal affair with men and women. How could you steal the Bauhinia Immortal Grass for a Jinpeng bird?"

As soon as Yin Xiuying pinched Yuling's throat, Kunbu forcibly released her. She burst into tears: "My family will never like any woman, he only has Taoism in his heart, you talk nonsense, you wronged a good person!"

"Cough cough," Yu Ling felt a rush of heat rushing up his throat, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the ground. Zi Xun was heartbroken. He gritted his teeth and stared at Yin Xiuying. Seeing this, Zi Tianming hurriedly pulled Yin Xiuying aside and said: "Don't cry, wait for her to finish!"

Yin Xiuying wiped away her tears aggrievedly, and stared at Yuling bitterly. Yuling sorted out her emotions for a while, and she also wanted to pay her back to Zixun with her life, but Zixun loved her so much. Falling, so she must do what Zi Xun wants, otherwise she will die together.

Yuling blinked her big eyes a few times, took a deep breath and said, "But senior brother Ziran disagrees. He said that he is loyal to Tianshu Xianmen and will never do anything to betray the sect, and draw a clear line with Jinpeng. Jinpeng sees Zizi Then she left resolutely, worried that the matter would be exposed, so she returned to the Green Bamboo Hall, and she said to me: "Senior sister, I heard that you are proficient in rhythm, why don't you listen to me play a piece?" I agreed to her, and seriously Listen, but when I woke up, I was imprisoned in the dungeon, and I really don't know what happened?"

After Yuling finished speaking, she looked at Zixue with tears in her eyes and said, "I only heard later that I killed Ziran, brother, I'm sorry, I really don't know why I killed brother Ziran? You do know , Senior Brother Ziran treated me well since I was a child, and he taught me how to refine the marrow washing pill, so how could I kill Senior Brother Ziran?"

Zixue's hanging heart sank, since Yuling didn't kill Ziran on purpose, it would be easy to handle.

He stood up and injected spiritual energy into his left wrist, and the white dragon appeared in the hall in an instant. He floated to the golden guqin and sniffed it: "It is true that someone has attached a high-level puppet technique to this piano, and it can only be removed by killing the player who plays it." Puppet art!" After saying that, it floated back to Zixue's left wrist.

Zi Tianming stood up solemnly and said, "Since Yuling was not the one who killed Ran'er, and Jinpeng has been brought to justice, let's let this matter go."

Zi Tianming's meaning was not beyond Zixun's expectation. He let out a sigh of relief, and was about to pardon Yuling, but was interrupted by Yin Xiuying's sharp voice: "Forget it? How can this be? But the cause of death is strange, don't think that you are Take out a dead bird and a broken qin and you can fool it. There is a saying: the prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people, if she kills her, she should pay for her life!"

Angrily, Zi Tianming knocked Yin Xiuying out with a magic trick, and then he cupped his hands and said, "My wife was stunned by grief, and I hope the master will forgive me. Since this matter has nothing to do with Yuling, we will not pursue it any further, so farewell!" "

After he finished speaking, he motioned to the tribe to carry Curan's body away, and four men in mourning clothes hurriedly got up to carry Curan's body away.

Seeing this, Zi Xun hurriedly stood up and said: "Wait a minute! Curan was loyal to Xianmen, and I am also very sad about his death. In order to show my heart, in the future, all beasts over five years old in Zi's family Xiu Jie can voluntarily go to the sect to practice, and in addition, give the Zi family ten middle-grade Zixing pills to compensate Zi Ran for his selfless dedication to the immortal sect over the years!"

After hearing this, Zi Tianming was overjoyed, turned around and knelt down on the ground. The Zi family members were also very happy, they knelt down one after another, and said in unison with Zi Tianming: "Thank you, head!"

"Everyone, please get up, after all, we failed the Zi family." Zixun stood up and walked in front of Zixue, saying, "Although Yuling was being manipulated to kill Ziran, it is also to blame. She As a night guard disciple, if you don't abide by the sect's laws and regulations, and someone sneaks in, you will have to be severely punished, lest you will not repent!"

Zixue looked at Zixun wondering what he meant?Things have come to this, isn't it the best outcome?Could it be that Zi Xun himself refused to let Yu Ling go, could it be that he knew Yu Ling's identity as a spy and wanted to take this opportunity to kill someone?
