But with the token, Zhao Mengyao brought Dong Liqiu directly to the file hall. Here, the information of all the disciples of the holy land was registered, and a lot of information could be found here.
"died?"
When Zhao Mengyao turned to the booklet that recorded a person named Liang Dameng, she was a little surprised.
The file clearly stated that Liang Dameng was swallowed by a monster while on a mission more than a year ago, and no trace of his body was left.
Isn't this a duplicate name?
But after Dong Liqiu took the booklet and saw the person's date of birth and place of origin, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"It's him, it's Senior Brother Liang. He, why did he die?"
Dong Liqiu found it hard to accept. Her hands holding the book trembled uncontrollably, and tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the file.
Zhao Mengyao quickly took the book away, fearing that the woman's tears would damage it. However, her worry was unnecessary. Although these books were made of paper, they were protected by special protective measures and would not be easily damaged.
"How do you know that he fell in love with someone else and then was abandoned?" Zhao Mengyao always felt that there was something strange about this man's death.
"Su Yan told me that after I was assigned to the Menial Works Hall, she came to see me twice. I think she came to see me in such a miserable state on purpose."
"The first time she told me, Senior Brother Liang had figured it out. He realized that a cultivator like him who came from a poor family had to climb up the social ladder if he wanted to go further. So she reluctantly got together with him."
"But when she came back again, she said that Senior Brother Liang was ungrateful and boring. She got tired of him and kicked him away like trash."
After saying this, Dong Liqiu burst into tears again.
This Su Yan must be sick.
She has already hurt Dong Liqiu like this, why is she coming to this girl to talk nonsense?
To satisfy her inner vanity as a winner?
"Miss Dong, what are your plans now? How about I take you to the resettlement place first?"
"No, I don't believe that Senior Brother Liang would curry favor with the powerful. The man I know is not that kind of person at all. He is so strong-willed that he never gives up, no matter how great the difficulties."
"I never believed it, so I wanted to ask him for clarification. I never expected this to happen. He definitely wasn't eaten by a monster. Su Yan must have killed him. Senior Sister Zhao, please help me investigate the cause of Senior Brother Liang's death. Please, I'm kneeling to you."
Dong Liqiu knelt down in front of Zhao Mengyao with a thud.
Although she had no evidence, she was very confident in her judgment.
At this point, Zhao Mengyao was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
……
Outside the Yaohua Palace, Zhao Mengyao brought Dong Liqiu to a pavilion.
"Wait here while I discuss this with my master."
After saying that, she went to find Zhao Kangping.
Dong Liqiu is just a menial disciple now, and she has never been to the Seventh Hall of the Holy Land.
Today she saw not only the magnificent palace, but also the richness of the spiritual energy here, which was beyond the imagination of a servant like her.
But she didn't dare to look any longer and just sat in the pavilion without moving.
Not long after, Zhao Mengyao brought Zhao Kangping here.
Seeing that the person coming was a handsome man with an imposing appearance, Dong Liqiu hurriedly lowered his head and subconsciously covered his face with his hands.
I was afraid that my horrifying face would offend the other person.
Since Dong Liqiu worked all day in the chores hall, she had no time to pay attention to what was happening in the outside world. She didn't know that Zhao Kangping had lost his cultivation and became a useless person.
She could not sense any spiritual power from Zhao Kangping, and his aura was no different from that of an ordinary person.
But she just thought that he was a great monk who had returned to nature and was able to restrain his brilliance.
"Are you Dong Liqiu?" Zhao Kangping briefly looked at the kneeling woman and said, "You'd better get up and sit on this stone bench."
Zhao Kangping sat down first, then pointed to the stone bench opposite the stone table and motioned the woman to sit down.
"Disciples don't dare."
Dong Liqiu knew that her status was low, and that the other party, as one of the seven hall masters, might have just been being polite when he asked her to sit down. She couldn't be so presumptuous.
Probably because it was the first time that Dong Liqiu met the big boss in the holy land, he was a little nervous and very reserved.
Zhao Kangping estimated that she would feel very uncomfortable even if she sat down, so he did not bother with her too much.
He asked Dong Liqiu a few questions.
For example, her grudge with Su Yan, her relationship with Liang Dameng, and her future plans.
The name Dong Liqiu was only mentioned briefly in the original novel and appeared in the list of people persecuted by Su Yan.
Su Yan in the original book was very dishonest and had committed many crimes in secret.
In the script, this matter was originally discovered by his eldest disciple Luo Xueqing, and was originally just a branch of the plot related to the Su family.
By the way, the Su family is not very clean either.
The Su family has mastered a secret method that can refine the spiritual roots of cultivators, greatly improving the efficiency of cultivators with mixed spiritual roots in absorbing spiritual energy.
Under normal circumstances, when a dual-spiritual root cultivator practices breathing in and out spiritual energy, their efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy is not as good as that of a single-spiritual root cultivator. However, after a dual-spiritual root cultivator uses this secret method, their cultivation speed will surpass that of a single-spiritual root cultivator.
But this secret method actually has a very bloody inside story.
That is to use monks with excellent spiritual roots to make blood pills, and the number of monks consumed is very large.
"I think your senior brother Liang must have been murdered, and the murderer is most likely Su Yan." In connection with the plot of the original book, Zhao Kangping expressed his judgment.
Dong Liqiu was stunned for a moment, hatred flashing in his eyes. "I knew that Senior Brother Liang wouldn't be as bad as she said. This Su Yan is truly unforgivable, unforgivable. Palace Master, I beg you to uphold justice for this disciple. I am willing to serve as your slave."
The woman was in tears, she kowtowed and spoke in a very earnest tone.
"Get up. You don't have to be a slave. I don't need anyone here, but I will take care of your matter." Zhao Kangping felt a little sympathetic to her situation, but he really didn't want any strangers to appear around him.
He stole a glance at his disciple and found she was looking at him too. She pouted, and even though she didn't say anything, he understood what she meant: Master only needed her to serve him, and didn't need a maid.
So he agreed to her wishes.
However, this chain of events was originally dug out by Luo Xueqing, but unexpectedly it was triggered in advance.
In this case, he doesn't mind letting these Su family members leave early.
Zhao Kangping turned his head to look at Zhao Mengyao and said, "Your uncle-master has also sent people to investigate. In the past few years, many of the disciples who went out on missions with Su Yan died tragically during the missions."
"Furthermore, every time she goes on a mission, people die. All of them are disciples without any background and with good spiritual roots. This is definitely not a coincidence."
The blood pills refined by the Su family's secret method require cultivators with various spiritual roots. Only when these spiritual roots reach a certain balance can the refined blood pills be most effective.
Su Yan must have intended to attack her when she took Dong Liqiu on the mission. However, she was only crippled, not used as a nutrient for the blood pill.
Something isn't right about this.
The first thing Zhao Kangping thought of was that Dong Liqiu was hiding something.
After his repeated persuasion, the poor woman finally told the whole truth.
It turned out that when Dong Liqiu was in the outer sect, she was spotted by an elder from the inner sect, who wanted to take her in as a disciple.
However, the elder specialized in palm techniques, while she wanted to be a sword practitioner, so she politely declined his kindness.
The elder was not angry, but instead planted a life-saving bead in her to protect her in times of crisis.
Later, when Su Yan and others wanted to murder her, the life-protection bead came into play when she was seriously injured and injured those people instead.
The life-protecting bead also has another function, which is that after the host dies, the scene before his death will be transmitted to the person who planted the life-protecting bead.
Su Yan spared Dong Liqiu's life because she was afraid that her actions would be leaked.
"Mengyao, Su Yan has a house on Wangyue Mountain outside of Chuanliu City. She's probably recuperating there now. Go over and investigate. I suspect it's a den of filth and corruption."
This small plot was brought forward so much, and the things that should have been solved by the heroine Feng Aotian were instead handled by the future villain heroine.
It seemed very interesting to tamper with the plot in this way, and Mr. Zhao couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
Chapter 19: A Family
Not long after, the Holy Lord sent several of his subordinates to pick up Dong Liqiu and send her to the resettlement place.
Only Zhao Kangping and Zhao Mengyao were left in Yaohua Palace.
"Master, how did you know that Su Yan had a problem?"
Zhao Mengyao learned from her master that Su Yan was doing whatever she wanted in the holy land relying on her family's support. Not only did she bully other disciples, but she also did such terrible things in secret.
She was a little bit unbelievable.
You have to know that Zhao Kangping didn't care much about the affairs of the palace before, and he was often away, and he spent very little time in the Holy Land. It's really strange that he knows so many things.
He couldn't say he had read the script.
However, he had already made up an excuse. He rubbed his disciple's head and said, "I was once walking in the holy land and came across a disciple hiding in a secluded place crying. After asking, I learned that his fellow Taoist had died during a mission."
"I heard from the other party that this is not an isolated case. Many people who have teamed up with Su Yan have died inexplicably outside."
"Also, I found out that although Su Yan entered the inner sect, she did not live in the dormitory provided by the inner sect, but lived in the mountain villa arranged for her by the Su family."
"That house is also well protected by a strict formation, and outsiders are never allowed to enter or leave. Do you think it's suspicious?"
As a cannon fodder character in the original novel, Su Yan's biggest role is to help the protagonist find a breakthrough in dealing with the Su family.
Poor Su Yan, although she had gathered a large number of outstanding talents from poor families for the Su family, she was abandoned by the family after her story was exposed.
The Su family even completely denied the matter, claiming that it was just Su Yan's personal behavior and had nothing to do with the entire Su family.
I wonder if it will be Zhao Mengyao who reveals the secret of the villa this time. Will Su Yan and the Su family repeat the dog-eat-dog scene in the original book?
Zhao Mengyao became excited at the thought of investigating Su Yan's villa.
But she was a little worried and said, "But am I going alone? Will it be dangerous there?"
"I'm not asking you to investigate to take any risks. All you have to do is sneak in, use the Image Stone to record the evidence of her crime, and come back." Zhao Kangping took out a storage ring and handed it to Zhao Mengyao. "It contains the Image Stone and some life-saving talismans, such as the Invisibility Talisman and the Teleportation Talisman."
"Remember, you're only there to investigate, not to mess things up. Try not to be discovered. If you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, crush the teleportation talisman and it will send you back to Yaohua Palace."
Zhao Mengyao carefully took the storage ring with both hands and looked at it in her hands as if it were a treasure.
She discovered that in addition to the things her master had mentioned, there were also some life-saving magical instruments and some elixirs, all of which were very valuable.
Especially the teleportation talisman, which involves spatial displacement and has a relatively complex production process, making it very difficult to produce. Therefore, the production volume is very low, and the price remains high year after year, making it a product with a high price but no demand.
"Also, I have to tell you the route to sneak into the villa. There is a small lake behind the villa where Su Yan is. There is a passage at the bottom of the lake that leads directly to the interior of the villa. You can dive in from here, and use the invisibility talisman immediately when you get inside. You don't need to save it for me. The invisibility talismans here are enough for you to go in and out ten times." Zhao Kangping added.
[Zhao Mengyao feels your care for her, favorability +10, current favorability 160, darkening value -10, current darkening value 78.]
Master was so good to her that Zhao Mengyao was deeply moved. She couldn't control her emotions and hugged her master tightly.
Then she stood on tiptoe, and her tender red lips fell on Zhao's face and neck like raindrops.
She wanted to continue releasing her inner emotions, but was stopped by Zhao Kangping.
Zhao Kangping blocked her face and brushed his thumb across her soft cheek. "You'd better go and come back quickly. I plan to make a good meal tonight, and you must catch up with it."
"Okay. I will definitely live up to Master's expectations." Zhao Mengyao's heart was burning. She wanted to eat more than she wanted to eat...
Master entrusted this matter to her, and she must not let Master down.
It was like a dream.
Although her previous master cared about her and doted on her, he only treated her as a child.
But now she can help her master solve his problems.
Oh, compared to that woman Luo Xueqing, Master really loves me more.
As she thought about this, her hand involuntarily touched her lower abdomen. She felt that the warmth of her master still lingered somewhere.
Hehe, Luo Xueqing, ah Luo Xueqing, even if your cultivation is far superior to mine, so what? It's still me who got the first soup from Master.
After Zhao Mengyao left, Zhao Kangping took out the communication jade slip and contacted his senior sister, the Holy Lord.
As soon as he finished sending the message and looked up, a moon-white figure came into his sight.
This was even more exaggerated than replying to a message instantly. Almost as soon as he received the senior sister's reply on the communication jade slip, this senior sister appeared in front of him.
The strong ones in the Void Refinement Stage are so terrifying.
Although most of the affairs of the holy land are handed over to some elders to handle, the senior sister of the Holy Lord is too idle.
Could it be that she was holding the communication jade slip and waiting for him to send a message?
