Chapter 10 Volume A: Polygonum Flowers First Involved in a Suspicious Case
Who came to inspect Yijun last year? The middle-aged monk thought about it and realized it was Senior Brother Zhang.
However, Senior Brother Zhang has always been averse to meddling, and is obsessed with cultivation. I'm afraid he just got over it last year.
But this time I'm afraid I won't be able to get through it.
The disciples of Lingyun Sect who are at the seventh level of Qi training are all broken, and they are the disciples who are in the later stages of Qi training. In terms of standard, they are considered to be among the best in this Yiyang Mansion.
This had a huge impact on Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect.
No matter what the reason is, as the backing of Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect, if Jiulian Sect does not give a response, I am afraid that people will be scattered, and Chonghua Sect and Lingyun Sect may have to find another supporter.
Especially the Chonghua Sect, whose relationship is not as close as Lingyun Sect and Jiulian Sect.
Not to mention the death of the direct disciple of the sect leader, the casual cultivator from Sui County was probably recruited by the Chonghua Sect and was recruited into their sect. However, he disappeared unexpectedly, which inevitably made the Chonghua Sect a little angry and anxious.
"This Xiong Wenren has disappeared. Is there any explanation from Nanchu? Where is the Lu family?"
Yi Chuyang felt a headache.
The annual inspection is a routine matter, but in the eyes of many people, it is actually a good job.
Take a walk around to see if there are better materials and Taoism that suits your needs. By the way, ask if there are any problems in the local area. If there are any, help solve them, and that's it.
It's not like we haven't encountered problems in the past, such as disputes between sects, or some evil ghosts appearing, and occasionally monsters appearing, so we have to help solve them.
But this time, he had a hunch that the problem was very troublesome and he might not be able to solve it in a while. He might not even be able to solve it himself and would have to find help.
So many cultivation disciples have suffered mishaps. Although it seems that they are all kinds of things, some are missing, some are suspected of being devoured by monsters, and some are killed by vendettas, but such a coincidence that they are concentrated in the past two years cannot help but make people suspicious.
And they are all in the Yiyang Mansion area, and even involve monks from Nanchu.
Of course Yi Chuyang of the Zijin Sect knew that a disciple of the fifth level of Qi training, one of the four major sects of Southern Chu, did not seem to be an important person.
But the surname Xiong is the most common surname in Southern Chu, and the royal family of Southern Chu is the Xiong family.
He was really worried that this Xiong Wenren was not a descendant of the Southern Chu royal family. When the time comes, he would have to negotiate in an official name and get an explanation, which would be troublesome.
But now it doesn't seem like it. If he was really a prominent figure, I'm afraid Nanchu would have come to visit him long ago.
And the Lu family.
The Lu family is an aristocratic family in Yiyang Mansion, but it is not a particularly powerful family. It is ranked among the top three families in Yiyang Mansion, but in Yi County, it would probably be ranked around ten.
.
Yi Chuyang doesn't care too much about the Lu family, but if the next step is to conduct an in-depth investigation, the power of the Lu family can still be used.
"Someone from the Zijin Sect came here and informed them of the situation. They also searched around here and also went to Wusheng Fort to investigate, but there were no clues. Later, they took away Xiong Wenren's relics.
He didn’t say anything. He just said that he hoped that we could continue to help with the search. The Lu family may be investigating on their own and have not contacted us..."
Yi Chuyang couldn't help but rub his hands. His intuition told him that the Zijin Sect might not have given up on searching for a disciple so easily.
After all, he was a disciple of the fifth level of Qi training, but he disappeared without any explanation. If he just made a hasty search and gave up, then it would be a joke for this Zijin sect to be called the four major sects in Nanchu.
Even if an ordinary disciple disappears, it is impossible to be so careless.
"Okay, I know the basic situation. Counting it, there are quite a few. Since the end of last year, there have been a total of six missing and attacked incidents. In addition to the Baishimen case and the outside casual cultivators, there are also four cases.
, the Chonghua Sect together, the Southern Chu Zijin Sect together, the Lu family together, and what happened today, the Lingyun Sect together,..."
Yi Chuyang pondered and said: "There are many doubts about the Chonghua Sect case about being devoured by monsters, but I don't know the specific situation, so I have to go down and investigate carefully before I can make a conclusion; in the case of the Zijin Sect, there are not many clues because they are missing.
If so, it's hard to be sure; I'm afraid we need to ask the Lu family to cooperate with the investigation to know the situation, but today's attack in Woyunpu, Liao County, we can't ignore it."
This was the first time that Chen Huaisheng had the opportunity to come into contact with such a high-end cultivator at such a close distance.
The man in front of me with a cold and pale face turned out to be a foundation-building monk!
And it looks like he might even be a strong person at level two or above of foundation building.
Even though he was ten feet away, the other party deliberately restrained his momentum, and Chen Huaisheng could still feel the suffocating pressure.
Every word in his words was sonorous and powerful, full of unquestionable confidence. This is probably the foundation of a strong foundation builder.
"Then what does Brother Yi mean...?" The red-faced Taoist finally felt a little excited and satisfied.
If the Jiulian Sect were to personally intervene, this series of events should come to light.
He simply couldn't trust the Lingyun Sect alone. At least the incident where his nephew was devoured by a monster or an evil ghost would never have a result.
The black-robed monk from Lingyun Sect was surprised and happy to see that Yi Chuyang had agreed so easily to personally intervene in the investigation.
In fact, when the Chonghua police dispatched an incident last year, he mentioned it to Zhang Tingshang of the Jiulian Sect who came to inspect, but the other party did not respond.
Because the other party was on inspection in Huai County at the time, he thought that things in Huai County were busy and it was a matter of the Chonghua faction, so he just helped to beat the drum.
But later something happened to the Lu family and the disciples of the Nanchu Zijin Sect, and he couldn't sit still.
At that time, Zhang Tingshang had already arrived at Huozhou Mansion in Yi County, so he sent someone to urge the other party, but the other party still couldn't pass the blame, so this made him a little discouraged.
The situation in Yiyang County's Yiyang, Huozhou and Langling prefectures is more complicated. Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect have joined forces to gain support from Jiulian Sect and compete with Baishimen for influence.
In Huozhou, Baishimen had the upper hand, but in Yiyang and Langling, Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect had the upper hand.
Baishimen mainly got the support of several major aristocratic families in Yijun County, so it was able to compete with Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect, which were supported by Jiulian Sect. There was also a big problem with Jiulian Sect not focusing on the southern part of Yijun County.
relation.
"That's the literal meaning. When the matter has reached this stage, our Jiulian Sect has no shirking responsibility. What happened in Liao County today must be investigated clearly. What happened to the disciples of the Chonghua Sect in Fengtong Ridge must also be investigated. In addition, the casual cultivators disappeared in Li County.
The incident and the disappearance of the disciples of the Zijin Sect must be investigated thoroughly and a bright future can be restored to Yiyang!"
Yi Chuyang also made this decision after careful consideration.
Although the southern part of Yijun is not the center of gravity of the Jiulian Sect, it is adjacent to Nanchu and has an important geographical location.
Moreover, the mountainous area and the forbidden area are close to each other, and the products are rich. A large amount of materials must come from these provinces, so there is no room for loss.
At present, the number of disciples of Jiulian Sect is also increasing greatly, and the required materials are also increasing day by day. If Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect are really lost, there will be a considerable gap in the demand within the sect.
He also knew that agreeing to this matter would be a lot of trouble, and it might not be possible to find out everything as he said.
But he must express his attitude and strengthen the confidence of Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect in this sect, even if he asks for support from the sect.
Hearing Yi Chuyang's categorical words, everyone from Lingyun Sect and Chonghua Sect breathed a sigh of relief.
But the monk surnamed Wu from the Chonghua Sect is still a little worried: "Brother Yi Dao, it's not just Wu who talks too much, I'm afraid these things are not simple. If you want to find out, you will have to spend a lot of effort..."
"Brother Wu, don't worry. Since Jiulian Sect has to do something, it has to be done well. I will report the matter to the sect immediately. There will be a reply soon, and I believe there will be brothers from the sect coming over."
Yi Chuyang didn't care about him either.
Currently, I only have two disciples who came with me for training. They are not high-level and have little experience. It is obviously beyond my ability to investigate these matters. I will definitely need people from the sect to come for reinforcements.
Suddenly he thought that there were disciples of the Nine Lotus Sect behind him. Although some of them were new disciples who had not yet entered the Taoism, the disciple who led the team to receive him seemed to be at the third level of Qi training, and he looked quite shrewd.
It is also good for other disciples to run errands and do odd jobs.
"It's getting late today. Tomorrow we will set off to Liao County to see the scene first. In addition, Brother Wu, please ask the people who know the details of the accident that happened to your disciples last year to come to Liao County together. Then we will come together to visit
Let's check it out. If there really are any evil ghosts or beasts, then it would be a good time for us to have a fight, which can be considered as some experience."
The group of people discussed again and then dispersed.
This Yiyang Mansion can be regarded as the home ground of Lingyun Sect. Lingyun Sect has a Taoist temple in Dingling City, so it is natural to return to the Taoist temple.
The Jiulian Sect only has a contact point here and cannot accommodate so many people, so they can only live in this gym.
