Chapter 2088 The crisis of the White Eyebrow Palace!

The door of the room was closed, and four disciples were guarding the door. These four disciples were all Yuan Zhenren's disciples. After all, they dared to stop others from entering here. Everyone dared not have a temper. Only the disciples of the head sect were there.

As soon as the four of them saw Yuan Zhenren coming, they immediately opened the door and bowed and said, "See Master!"

Yuan Zhenren nodded and walked in.

Zhang Yu, Shangguan Ning and Qingyi also came in. The three of them came with Yuan Zhenren, and Yuan Zhenren didn't say they were not allowed to enter, so the four children naturally did not dare to stop him. After the four of them entered, they closed the door.

This house is not small, and it is a lobby room that comes in. It is antique and has a large surface base.

There are rooms on both sides of the left and right, needless to say, one is a quiet room and the other is a bedroom.

There was a sound in the room on the left. Yuan Zhenren took the lead. After Zhang Yu and others entered, they immediately saw Jia Zhenren and four Taoist priests wearing gossip fairy clothes, and a young disciple wearing apricot yellow Taoist robe was standing among them.

In the futon on the ground, there was a corpse of an old Taoist, with a dagger inserted in his chest. Zhang Yu could tell at a glance that it was the same hilt as the last time he saw the "Flying Star Nine Blades".

Jia Zhenren and the others also heard the sound and were waiting. When they saw Zhenren Yuan, they also greeted each other.

Yuan Zhenren and Zhang Yu were polite to them, especially Zhang Yu, who had to greet his master Jia Zhenren without saying hello to others.

Yuan Zhenren naturally didn't have much nonsense, so he quickly walked to the corpse and looked at it carefully.

The old Taoist was lying in his chest and was not difficult to see that he should have sat cross-legged on a cushion and meditated during his lifetime. Yuan Zhenren glanced around for a few more times, as if checking for any traces of fighting.

Zhang Yu was also observing, and at this time he heard from Zhenren Jia say, "Senior sister, the Taoist priest shot in from the back window. Look."

He said, pointing to the window facing Yuan Zhenren's back.

Yuan Zhenren, Zhang Yu and others also looked over. The windows were frosted glass, with patterns, and antique wooden window lattices. It can be said that it is absolutely impossible to see the situation in the room from outside.

One of the small glass was broken, and the glass fragments were still on the ground, just in front of the futon. There was no problem shooting a knife from here and stabbing the person sitting on the futon.

Zhang Yu looked at the window and looked at the dead old Taoist again. After looking back and forth several times, there was no problem. The dead old Taoist was probably killed by the knife shot in from outside. The only problem was whether this knife was really "Flying Star Nine Blades". To put it bluntly, it was this knife, whether it was a real magic weapon.

Yuan Zhenren seemed to have thought of this layer, and took two steps forward, came to the corpse, squatted down, and touched the handle of the knife with a finger.

Immediately afterwards, her face became solemn, she stood up and looked at Zhang Yu, and said, "Nephew, thanks to you for what happened last time. Come and take a look now."

"Yes, Master." Zhang Yu walked over and came to the opposite of Yuan Zhenren to squat down.

He also stretched out a finger and touched the handle of the knife.

As soon as he touched it, Zhang Yu was stunned.

It turned out that Zhang Yu felt that there was a rich spiritual energy on the knife. This knife was completely different from the knife I touched last time, and it was definitely a powerful magic weapon.

Zhang Yu then grabbed the wrist of the body, and his skin was already cold. Zhang Yu was able to confirm that the person had died for about an hour and a half. He looked at the watch and it was five:30 in the afternoon, which means that the person should have died at four o'clock.

He briefly found the condition of the body and found no other injuries. The wound on his chest was fatal.

Yuan Zhenren waited for Zhang Yu to finish the inspection before he spoke, "Nephew, what do you think?"

Zhang Yu stood up and said, "According to my disciples, the time of death is about 3:30 to 4:30 in the afternoon, and the time is very close to 4:00. In addition, the dagger that killed this uncle is a very powerful magic weapon."

"That's right, it's the flying star nine blades of my Baimei Palace." Yuan Zhenren said in a deep voice.

Now her face is as cold as frost, which shows that she is already very angry.

You should know that although some people in this sect died under the Flying Star Nine Blades before, they were all killed while doing business outside. This time, they attacked in Baimei Palace.

Yuan Zhenren followed and looked at Jia Zhenren and asked, "Who was the first to discover the body?"

Zhenren Jia immediately looked at the only young Taoist priest wearing an apricot yellow Taoist robe in the room before, and said, "It's Xue Wei, Junior Brother Meng's disciple."

"The abbot, uncle, was discovered first by my disciples." The young Taoist priest bowed and said.

"When did you discover it?" asked Yuan Zhenren.

"Ten minutes ago, because our master presided over the eating mantras during the vegetarian period today, it was logical that the master should have arrived at 4:30. Seeing that the master had not arrived, I came here respectfully to invite the master to go to the vegetarian hall." said the young Taoist priest.

When eating in Taoism, it does not mean that you need to recite the mantra before eating when you come up.

But Yuan Zhenren asked, "You come in and greet your master, but when you come, your master should have been dead. Then how did you come in?"

"I was knocking outside the door, but I saw no movement inside, so I called the master. But I couldn't answer the call, and I couldn't hear the phone. So the disciple knocked on the window of the bedroom, and there was no movement in the bedroom. There was no window on the front of the quiet room, so the disciple could only go around behind. I happened to see a glass broke in the window, so I looked inside along the glass, and then I found that the master was dead." Xue Wei said at the end, tears fell down.

Yuan Zhenren nodded and then looked at the other two Taoist priests in the room wearing gossip fairy clothes, "Junior Brother Liang, Junior Brother Qin, if I remember well, you two live in the same courtyard with Junior Brother Meng, right?"

"Yes, senior sister of the abbot." The two old Taoists said quickly.

"Where are you two at that time?" Yuan Zhenren asked.

The old Taoist surnamed Liang said first: "I was meditating in my quiet room next door. Suddenly I heard Xue Wei's shouting, and I ran out."

Old Dao Qin also said: "Like Senior Brother Liang, I rushed out when I heard the shouts."

"Where are you two between 3:30 and 4:30?" Yuan Zhenren asked again.

"I'm in the quiet room." Liang Laodao replied.

Old Dao Qin also said: "I am also in the quiet room of the room."

"You two are in the yard and there are also quiet rooms. Then let me ask you two, did you hear any sounds at that time?" Yuan Zhenren asked again.

"No. No." The two said.

"No?" Yuan Zhenren frowned slightly and said coldly: "Even if the sound is not loud, it will not be too small. Why can you two not hear any movement?"

"Senior sister, I really didn't hear it," said Mr. Liang hurriedly.

Judging from his meaning, he seemed to be afraid that Yuan Zhenren would doubt him.

Old Dao Qin also said anxiously: "I really didn't hear it either."

"I didn't hear it." Yuan Zhenren pondered, his face became more solemn, and there was a hint of suspicion. Her eyes looked at Old Dao Qin, Old Dao Liang and Xue Wei from time to time, as if she wanted to see something from it.

Zhang Yu also looked at the three of them and looked at the broken glass from time to time.

These three people were stared at by Yuan Zhenren, and seemed to be a little nervous.

After a while, Yuan Zhenren said lightly: "Junior Brother Jia, Zhang, Shangguan Ning stayed, everyone else went out, and tell the people in the yard that they were all dispersed. Don't spread this matter to the public. Just say that Junior Brother Meng died without any illness and ascended to the sky."

"Yes. Yes." Liang Laodao and others quickly agreed.

They retreated one after another, conveying Yuan Zhenren's meaning, and let everyone in the yard leave.

With the sound of footsteps, after a while, the yard finally became quiet.

Yuan Zhenren looked at Jia Zhenren, Zhang Yu and Shangguan Ning, and said, "What do you think?"

Compared with these two, Zhang Yu is an outsider, so it is inconvenient to speak. He waited quietly, wanting to see what Jia Zhenren and Shangguan Ning said.

Zhengren Jia and Shangguan Ning didn't speak either. Zhengren Yuan waited for a while, but when he saw that the three of them didn't say anything, a hint of displeasure flashed on his face.

Her eyes fell on Jia Zhenren and said, "Junior brother, you talk first."

"I can't say whether the elder brother is really not dead. After all, even if someone takes the Flying Star Nine Blades, there is no spell, and I'm afraid there will be no five people in Baimei Palace. "Zhengren Jia said a little worriedly.

"When he was buried, would he not die if his body was rotten?" Yuan Zhenren said coldly.

"Then I can't explain this clearly, you can't really be the ghost of the senior brother, right?" Jia Zhenren said nervously.

Yuan Zhenren seemed a little dissatisfied with this statement, but she didn't say anything else, but looked at Shangguan Ning, "Xiao Ning, what do you think?"

"Master, I learned from the master that the Flying Star Nine Blades is a treasure of Taoism, and how can the Yin Spirit control it? Besides, our Baimei Palace is a Taoist holy land. If the Yin Spirit dares to enter, it will inevitably disappear. Therefore, the disciples think that it is not clear who the disciples of the person who commits the crime," Shangguan Ning said.

Yuan Zhenren nodded slightly and said deliberately: "Even the younger generation knows that the White Eyebrow Palace is a Taoist holy land, what kind of ghost dares to come in!"

This is for Zhenren Jia to listen to, so that Zhenren Jia should not exaggerate and randomly arrange some evil spirits to cause trouble.

Zhenren Jia lowered his head and did not dare to speak out.

Yuan Zhenren looked at Zhang Yu at last and said, "Nephew, what do you think?"

"Disciples don't think it would be the cause of the ghost. As for the Nine Blades of Flying Stars, Zhang Yu turned his eyes to the dagger on Meng Laodao's chest and continued: "Is it shot out of the window or someone directly inserted into Uncle Meng's chest? I'm afraid it's impossible to do it right now."

"That's what you say makes sense." Yuan Zhenren praised.

She then pointed to the window opposite and said, "Let's go over and take a look."

Zhang Yu had long wanted to go over and see what he looked like outside the window. The four of them walked to the window, and Yuan Zhenren personally opened the window left and right.

This is the back window, which is not facing the front yard. Outside this window, there is a small garden. Because it is winter, the flowers and plants have withered, and all that is left is bare flower poles and branches.

There were a lot of footprints on the ground, and it seemed that many people came to check it. Behind was the courtyard wall, which was not high, but was only two meters away.

From here, if you can't see more carefully, Zhang Yu decided to go around and take a look.

Because the buildings here are still a few years old, there is no back door open in the house. If you want to go there, you can only walk around the house.

Zhang Yu proposed to go around and take a look. Yuan Zhenren asked Shangguan Ning to accompany Zhang Yu.

The two of them arrived at the back and checked it, which made Zhang Yu frown. There were too many footprints behind him, and they could not tell who was who was. Even if someone really stood here and shot the fierce Taoist, they could not find clues through the footprints.

There are rear windows in the bedroom and main hall, but this is winter, and the windows are closed and locked. It is not easy to get in, so you can only walk through the main entrance.

Zhang Yu worked hard for a long time, but he finally got nothing.

He and Shangguan Ning returned to the quiet room, Yuan Zhenren was frowning deeply, and Jia Zhenren was so sad.

Zhang Yu has always been curious, especially this kind of thing aroused his curiosity. He asked in a low voice: "Master, Master, I heard from Uncle Feng and others that the two who died before, and even the last time Taoist Master Zhan, went to clean up the portal and kill the senior brother. I wonder if this Uncle Meng is the same today?"

Yuan Zhenren nodded and said, "Junior Brother Meng was also a member of the portal with me back then."

"Then the murderer's action should be the targeted Taoist Master Zhan may be an accident, but since there are real Flying Star Nine Blades here, most of them are in the plan. The disciples talk more about how many people they went with you at the beginning, and how many are left now," Zhang Yu said in a small voice.

"There were thirteen people who went down the mountain with me at that time, including my two uncles, as well as ten junior brothers and junior sisters. The two uncles have passed away. Of the eleven of us, four of us have been killed, and there are still seven left." Yuan Zhenren said.

"Of these seven people, there should be a master and uncle Feng, who are the other five?" Zhang Yu asked curiously.

"I have one, and the rest are Senior Brother Hu from the Zhengtang, Junior Brother Feng from the Jingtang, Junior Brother Gao Gongma from the Jingtang, Junior Brother Zhao who is in charge of the temple production." This time, the person who spoke was Jia Zhenren.

After hearing the duties of these people, Zhang Yu nodded first and then discovered a problem.

These people are all in high positions and powerful, and they are all first-class jobs in Taoist temples. Even though Feng Chongjue is not very strong, he has a certain status in Baimei Palace.

Another person who died, Zhang Yu had never asked about his duties in the Baimei Palace before, but he dared to intercept the merits of his disciples and even took sapphires for himself. Then he must have a number one in the Baimei Palace, otherwise he would not dare to do so.

Zhang Yu was able to confirm one thing from this, that is, those who went to kill the senior brother with Zhenren Yuan, had their status improved to a certain extent after Zhenren Yuan took charge of the Baimei Palace. It can be said that they were all Yuan Zhenren's confidants.
