Chapter 7 Almost Revealed

The next day, Lin Zhihui was called to the main hall. The leader You Yiyun was sitting on the dragon-headed throne of Cheng Liang in the main hall. The throne was not small, as high as two people. The disciples had to look down to meet You Yiyun's eyes. The big red pillars create a sense of impact with the main hall of Nuo Da, which makes people feel majestic and mysterious. The leader is like a model of a respected elder, and the disciples below are lined up on both sides, neatly, cleanly and well-behaved. All the new disciples were also called to the main hall. It seemed that there was something important to be announced.

Sect Leader You Yiyun looked at Lin Zhihui, with a trace of disappointment in his eyes, and then said, "Everyone is here, let me tell you something straight. At the end of the disciple selection meeting, it was discovered that the last Fire Qilin was killed. died."

After saying that, the disciples in the main hall started talking about it.

"The Fire Qilin was originally the dragon vein that protected the land of Shenzhou. However, its temperament changed drastically and endangered the world."

"Later, a piece of phosphorus was cut off by Duan Zhengxian, the world's number one swordsman of Duan Lang's ancestor. Because there was no phosphorus armor to protect it, it could directly injure the internal organs."

"No wonder he's so lucky. It turns out he took advantage of the Fire Kirin's weakness and killed the beast just to get into the Hengtian Sect. He's really unscrupulous."

Lin Zhifan clenched his fists not because the words coming out of these people's mouths were nonsense, but because such rumors were so deadly. No matter how much he wanted to put an end to these people who made random guesses and spread rumors without knowing the facts, he knew the purpose of coming to the Qing Emperor better than anyone else, so he had to endure it again and again. Lin Zhifan knew that no matter what, the higher you stand, the stronger the wind will be. Whether you can withstand it depends on whether you have the ability.

You Yiyun looked depressed and frustrated. He must have wanted to find the murderer and give everyone an explanation. Then he looked at Lin Zhifan and said, "Lin Lu, did you encounter the Fire Kirin in the Beast Forest yesterday and fight with it?"

It was indeed the case yesterday. It was just that the fire unicorn was too difficult to fight, so it used the sand in its palm. I thought it was injured and hid. How could I have expected that it was so weatherproof? Answer, "Yes."

"So, can you admit that the Fire Qilin died due to excessive injuries?" Lu Zhan said in an angry voice, and it could be heard that he represented everyone's doubts, and there was nothing wrong with his words. Lu Zhan had opposed Lin Zhihui before when he was in the Hengtian sect, but now that he had changed his identity, he still refused to let him go. "We will settle the accounts later." Lin Zhihui thought in his heart.

At this time, Lin Zhihui was already "attracting everyone's attention", including Jiang Yuan. Lin Zhihui avoided his penetrating gaze and said, "The fire unicorn was not killed by the disciple. The disciple injured it because it was about to attack someone." As a fellow disciple, I couldn't just sit back and watch, so I fought with it. Afterwards, Huo Qilin was injured and turned into black smoke to escape. I don't know why he died after that." After saying this, he turned his head and looked at the young man he rescued yesterday. , the young man seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly distanced himself, "Yes, you did save me that day, and you were injured yourself, but with one strike of your palm, the fire unicorn disappeared into thin air. Do you want to deny it?"

You Yiyun frowned after hearing this disciple's testimony. He originally had high expectations for this disciple who won the first place, but his mood suddenly fell from heaven to hell.

"Back then, our ancestor Duan Lang fought with the Fire Kirin with a sword. He kept a low profile for seventy-four days and finally cut off a piece of scale armor on the Fire Kirin's chest. The lack of scale armor to protect the chest became the Fire Kirin's fatal weakness. Yesterday, this junior brother also witnessed that my palm hit the Fire Kirin's back, so the Fire Kirin will not be killed by my palm." Lin Zhifan's face was very calm, without a trace of disturbance.

Lu Zhan wanted to say something, but he just smacked his lips and couldn't utter a word. You Yiyun seemed to be relieved and looked at the disciple and said, "Li Zining, is what Lin Zhifan said true?"

Li Zining seemed to have not yet come out of his panic, and spoke carefully, "Master, I saw with my own eyes yesterday that he pushed the Fire Kirin's chest with one palm, and the Fire Kirin disappeared along with the true fire in its mouth. Later, Lin Zhifan also disappeared in the Beast Forest. The Fire Kirin is, is... "

I didn't dare to finish my words, but what's the difference between having said it this far and not having finished it? You Yiyun's head was covered with dark clouds and he said, "According to what you said, it was Lin Lu who killed Fire Qilin?"

Li Zining did not dare to meet Lin Zhihui's eyes anymore, looked at You Yiyun and said, "Yes."

Seeing that Lin Zhihui had no intention of arguing, You Yiyun took a deep breath from his chest and said, "Lin Zhihui, can you plead guilty?"

"I didn't kill him, why should I plead guilty." This kind of scene would only come true in my dreams. I didn't expect that one day it would come true, but Lin Zhihui knew what to do this time.

Lin Zhihui pointed at Li Zining, and then said, "What he said about me is the ferocious beast that killed the Qilin Beast, so what I said about him is - slander."

Everyone was confused for a moment. They were all disciples who had just entered yesterday. They didn't know much about anyone's character, and they didn't know who to believe. Just when the disciples were talking about each other, Jiang Yuan came in from the door of the main hall. The hall immediately became quiet. He passed by. Lin Zhihui glanced at him sideways when he was next to him. Lin Zhihui looked at him with waves in his eyes. Then Jiang Yuan stood in the center of the hall, put his hands on his hands and said, "To the master, I have found out the cause of Huo Qilin's death."

"Say." You Yiyun said loudly, echoing in the hall. The disciples in the hall shut their mouths tightly and stood still.

"Huo Qilin suffered two injuries, one on the back and one on the chest. The back injury was not likely to kill Huo Qilin, but the chest was pierced by a sword. Huo Qilin was fatal on the spot. The time spent on the two wounds was Two hours. As far as I know, Lin Lu came out of the beast forest at noon, and Huo Qilin was pierced by the sword in the afternoon, so he can be ruled out as the murderer of Huo Qilin. "

Jiang Yuan has always been efficient and arrived on time, Lin Zhifan thought.

"Have you found out who killed the Fire Kirin?" You Yiyu asked.

"Due to the urgency of the situation, the real culprit has not yet been found. Please ask the master to let the disciples continue to investigate."

Time is urgent, is he afraid of being wrongly accused? Lin Zhifan thought so.

At this time, Lu Zhan stood up and said, "Disciple has something to report."

"explain."

"The disciple discovered something at this selection meeting, which is also about the Fire Qilin." Lu Zhan's words aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Tell me what you want to say." You Yiyu looked at him.

"It's like this. The disciples are responsible for this selection meeting. I heard that someone subdued the sacred beast Fire Qilin. The disciples were very surprised and curious. The disciples who usually practice in the Hengtian Sect are not capable of doing this. One has not officially How did the cultivators subdue Huo Qilin, so the disciple went to check and found some details. The wound on Huo Qilin's back had yellow liquid that was invaded by fine sand. It could be seen that it was injured by the sand in the palm of the Hengtian Sect, and Lin Lufei It is very suspicious to the disciples how the disciples of the Hengtian Sect could have this magic, so even if Lin Lu is not the murderer, he must be hiding something. "

Suddenly, the hall was like a tidal wave, but Jiang Yuan didn't seem too surprised. His eyes were filled with soft light and calm that could not be seen yesterday. Could it be that he had discovered his identity? When he thought about it, Lin Zhihui felt as if he had all five senses and didn't know what to feel.

You Yiyun also looked at Lin Zhihui in surprise, and then asked Jiang Yuan, "Is it true?" Jiang Yuan must have noticed this detail when he went to check it out. If he told it, how would he smooth things over? Not only would his identity be exposed, It will also involve the purpose of coming here. I'm afraid it won't be that simple to come in again in the future. At the beginning, I only used the sand in my palm with a sense of luck, and Huo Qilin happened to die on that day. Sure enough, he was discovered by someone who was interested. I don't know whether it was a coincidence or someone else's deliberate plan that things developed to this point.

Whether he should stay with the Qing Emperor to find out the truth or find another way to find another way in the future was the same to Lin Zhihui, it was just a change of place. When I chose Emperor Qing as my first stop, I also considered that the place where my parents died was also my childhood home, and it would be much easier to search in a familiar environment. Now it depends on Jiang Yuan's answer whether he wants to stay or not.

His eyes focused on Jiang Yuan, he covered his hands and said, "The wound on Fire Qilin's back was not caused by the sand in his palm." After hearing what he said, Lin Zhihui actually felt a little relaxed. He still had expectations for Jiang Yuan, but he just expected them. what? Do you hope to have the same relationship with him as before? Can these brothers still recognize each other? Why is the cold ice light in his eyes so cold?

After hearing this, Lu Zhan immediately took a step forward and said, "You're lying. Yesterday, I clearly saw yellow liquid oozing out from the wound." Jiang Yuan said calmly, "Junior brother Lu probably saw it wrong yesterday. It was nothing at all." The yellow liquid was actually butter that someone poured on it deliberately. Lu Zhan was shocked. Jiang Yuan looked at You Yiyun and said, "The person who poured the butter on it and the person who killed Huo Qilin framed Lin Lu." "

Li Zining was trembling. He was the only one who directly identified Lin Zhihui as the murderer. You Yiyun looked at him and said, "Li Zining, what else do you have to say."

"Disciple, I know my mistake." Li Zining's tone was panicked and uneasy.

"Why do you want to falsely accuse Lin Lu?"

Li Zining knew that the situation was out of control and quickly begged for mercy, "Please forgive me, master. I was ordered by a man in black. He said that as long as I identify Lin Lu, I can be the first disciple of this selection meeting." Well, Lin Zhihui was the first one to come out of the beast forest yesterday, and he was the second one.

But now that he had admitted his guilt, he couldn't stay any longer. He just had to follow the clues to find out the real culprit behind the scenes. You Yiyun said, "Where did the man in black come from?"

"Disciple, I don't know." Li Zining looked at him timidly.

"It's really ridiculous that someone who doesn't even know his identity actually believes him." Someone among the disciples mocked.

Li Zining continued, "He said he was from the Hengtian sect and would help me secretly, and he gave me this." Then he took out a jade statue from his sleeve, which was carved with a pair of jade figures, a female. The man is handsome and handsome, with delicate features and a hand holding a sword hilt. He looks like he is worth a lot of money. The man in black is willing to give this jade to him, which shows that he trusts him.

Lin Zhihui felt sad when he saw the jade. Although the two figures on it couldn't see clearly, they were very familiar. They were his father and mother. He didn't expect to see this jade again after the decline of the family.

Lin Zhihui couldn't bear it anymore, so he grabbed Li Zining's collar and said angrily, "Who gave it to you, who!" His tone was almost crazy and hoarse.

Everyone was shocked. Everyone thought that Lin Zhihui was so angry and ashamed after being framed by him that he would be so disrespectful in front of the leader.

But no one noticed Jiang Yuan's expression of regret and help.

The disciples beside them hurriedly pulled the two apart. Li Zining was so frightened by him that his soul flew away. You Yiyun ordered, "The monk Li Zining has bad behavior, spread rumors and slandered his fellow disciples. He is forbidden to practice in the Qing Empire forever."
