Chapter 403: Deadlock (Third Watch)
Compared with most of the Wu people, the burial priest in front of him looks more like a human race, although he is tall, but not as exaggerated as the tall, in addition, this burial priest is a woman.
Wu women, Chu Xian has seen them, most of them are rough and arrogant, but the woman in front of her is actually so elegant and weak.
Although she is even a little taller than Chu Xian, her limbs are slender, her skin is white and beautiful, and she is actually a rare and stunning beauty.
Thinking that this woman was a funeral priest and would die soon, Chu Xian also sighed, but soon found that the black dragon priest seemed to be even sadder.
Chu Xian asked curiously, and the black dragon priest said a reason that surprised Chu Xian: "She is my daughter." ”
The daughter of the Black Dragon Priest?
Chu Xian really didn't expect it, and soon he knew that the funeral priest of the Wu clan was a matter that had been decided since she was born, and even if it was a black dragon priest, it was impossible to change it.
Chu Xian could see that the Black Dragon Priest loved his daughter very much, but the clan rules were the clan rules, even if he was unwilling and reluctant, there was no way. In fact, most of the Wu Ancestor's funeral divisions, even if they run out of longevity, will not perform their duties, because the Wu Ancestor has an extremely long lifespan, and it is almost impossible for him to fall unexpectedly.
Some Wu ancestors have replaced more than a dozen funeral divisions, generation after generation, and the funeral divisions enjoy a high status, which is the envy of many Wu people, but in the same way, once the Wu ancestors fall, the funeral divisions must fulfill their mission.
No one can disobey it.
Chu Xian eliminated all his suspicions about the Black Dragon Priest at this time, even if it was for his daughter, the Black Dragon Priest would not be unfavorable to the Thirteen Witch Ancestors.
Because once the Thirteen Witch Ancestors fell, the unlucky one was his daughter.
This kind of thing, the Black Dragon Priest can't do it, Chu Xian is an outsider, of course, he only has the role of a bystander. Chu Xian saw the process of transferring the body of the Wu Ancestor and taking away the power of the totem, and then knew why the Black Dragon Priest said that it was impossible for the Thirteen Wu Ancestors to be poisoned.
The totemic power of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors is a poisonous dragon.
The poisonous dragon is on the side of the Wu clan, it is the ancestor of all poisons, the source of all poisons, let me ask, what kind of poison can poison the thirteen witch ancestors?
Chu Xian saw with his own eyes that the daughter of the Black Dragon Priest, that is, the burial priest of the Thirteen Wu Ancestors, collected the Wu Ancestor totem, and after that huge black shadow drilled into the body of the Burial Division, the original body of the Wu Ancestor turned into a rock.
Humanoid rocks.
It seemed that all the power and divine power of the Wu Ancestor had been withdrawn with the huge black shadow, leaving only a exorcist shell, and this exorcism shell turned into a rock.
Obviously, what Wu Zu has is not flesh and blood.
The Wu Zu totem was removed before the Wu Zu body could be moved, and after that, the Wu Zu's petrified body was placed in a special wooden coffin.
The Wu clan attaches great importance to this ceremony, and during the process, several immortal officials in the Shoufu Pavilion were also present and gave enough respect and courtesy.
When the ceremony was over, Chu Xian found a chance to meet the Black Dragon Priest, and at this time, the Black Dragon Priest was talking to his daughter, the Burial Master who had absorbed the Wuzu Totem.
Chu Xian also knew at this time that the daughter of the black dragon priest was called 'Nightingale', and she was very polite, it was said that she worshiped a Terran monk as a teacher more than ten years ago, learned Terran etiquette, and was able to read and write.
Chu Xian suddenly realized.
No wonder it's different from other witch women.
Looking at the nightingale, Chu Xian always felt that something was familiar, and after thinking for a long time, Chu Xian reacted.
It's the breath of the other party.
From the first time he saw this nightingale, Chu Xian had this feeling, but at the beginning, he was attracted by the vision of absorbing the Wu Clan's totem, so he didn't think of it for a while.
Now, Chu Xian thought of it, and he also thought of another thing, and asked tentatively at the moment: "Miss Nightingale's master, is your surname Xu?"
Although the nightingale looked weaker than most of the witch women, in fact, she was also very heroic, and at this moment she was slightly stunned, glanced at Chu Xian, and looked surprised.
Who is Chu Xian, the Black Dragon Priest had already told her, so she said directly: "Chu Tuiguan knows my master?"
Obviously, Chu Xian guessed correctly.
"I've met a few times, I know. Chu Xian wasn't lying, he did know each other, but it was a few years later.
Xu Feng, a friend of Chu Xian's dream in that life, although he does not have an official position, he is a knowledgeable swordsman who likes to travel around and has great skills.
Chu Xian made friends and didn't look at the other party's background, so he became friends with someone like Neng Xu Feng.
And the person who was killed by the resentful soul wine was Xu Feng, at that time, Xu Feng drank the resentful soul wine, persisted for several months, and found Chu Xian to explain the matter, and then he died. If there was no Xu Feng, Chu Xian wouldn't know that there was such a thing as resentful soul wine in this world, don't look at Xu Feng's death seems to be very aggrieved, in fact, Xu Feng is not an ordinary person.
He is a swordsman, a kendo master who enters the grandmaster with a sword.
Naturally, Xu Feng's most powerful swordsmanship is swordsmanship, but his swordsmanship is very different, others practice swords, and he refines sword qi.
The sword qi exists between the veins, so his sword technique is called the 'Divine Vein Sword Technique', and those who practice this sword technique will have a very special breath, so Chu Xian will feel familiar when he sees the nightingale.
At this time, Chu Xian glanced at the nightingale more.
It's not that she's pretty, because whether it's Li Ziyun, Ji Wen, Concubine Luo, or even Wang Yanciao, they are all more beautiful than the nightingale, Chu Xian looks at her because Chu Xian remembers that Xu Feng once mentioned the name of the nightingale.
At that time, Xu Feng said that he had an apprentice called Nightingale, who had extremely high potential, and at a young age, he had already mastered his 'Divine Vein Sword Technique', and he was still better than the blue.
Xu Feng spoke highly of the nightingale, at that time, Chu Xian just listened to it casually, but fortunately, there was a Shenhai library, so even if he mentioned it casually, after many years, Chu Xian could still remember it.
Unexpectedly, he would meet Xu Feng's apprentice in this situation.
In this life, Xu Feng doesn't know himself, and his apprentices also have a different fate.
Chu Xian sighed and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
Nightingale said goodbye, and she will set off tomorrow to return to the land of the Witch Clan with the totemic power of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors. After Chu Xian waited for her to leave, he began to ask the Black Dragon Priest.
It is still about the cause of death of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, Chu Xian asked very directly this time, there was no fighting, no external or internal injuries, and it was not poisoning, so how did the Thirteen Witch Ancestors die? Or rather, what else is there in this world that can kill the Thirteen Witch Ancestors if the previous conditions are met.
Since the suspicion of the Black Dragon Priest can be ruled out, there are some questions that Chu Xian can ask.
However, for this question, the Black Dragon Priest pondered for a long time and shook his head: "As far as I know, to meet the previous prerequisites, there is no way to kill the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, you know, that is Lord Wu Ancestor, the strongest existence of our clan, put it in your Holy Dynasty, it is the first level of the Shoufu Pavilion Dao Immortal, just ask, who can quietly kill a Shoufu Pavilion Dao Immortal?"
Chu Xian thought about it and shook his head.
Obviously, this is also not possible.
But now, the impossible has happened.
Before leaving, the Black Dragon Priest said a sentence that made Chu Xian remember it vividly, he said, not only the Holy Dynasty is investigating, but their Wu clan is also investigating, and they want to know the truth more.
Chu Xian believes this, because the Wu people know better that if they can't figure out the cause of the Wu clan's death, then even if it is to appease the inside, they have to use force against the Holy Dynasty, otherwise the Wu clan will be in chaos first. After all, according to common sense, only the Holy Dynasty can assassinate the Thirteen Witch Ancestors if they are deliberate.
He didn't want to use force, but he had to use force, not only for the Holy Dynasty, but also for the Wu Clan.
Outside, Xuanyue Valley saw Chu Xian and said, "It's already the second day." ”
This sentence is a reminder.
Chu Xian sighed and shook his head, Xuan Yue Gu understood, and did not ask again.
The progress of the daily investigation of the case, Chu Xian has to make a record, and then report it to the Shoufu Pavilion, at this moment Chu Xian wrote it down according to the truth and handed it over to Xuan Yuegu.
The death of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors carries a strange mystery, which makes people confused and incomprehensible, but the consequences of this incident are extremely serious.
Anyone can see that there are cats, conspiracy, and tricks in this, but it is difficult to lift that layer of cloth, and it is impossible to get a glimpse of the truth.
But Chu Xian doesn't believe that there is such a character in this world, who can do whatever he wants, turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain, if he really has this ability, why play these conspiracies and tricks, pretending to be mysterious?
The other party's purpose can already be determined to deliberately provoke a fight between the two clans, because if the Wu people are ghosts, the Wu clan's soldiers have already done it, and they will not wait for the Holy Dynasty to send troops.
On the side of the Holy Dynasty, there is no reason to assassinate the visiting Wu Ancestor, which will do all kinds of harm but no benefit.
This point can be mutually confirmed from the confessions of both parties, including Wang Shenling, including Yang Ke, although Chu Xian very much hopes that Yang Ke will be involved, so that he can take this opportunity to remove Yang Ke as a hidden danger. But in fact, Yang Ke did not participate in it, and even, because of the death of the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, Yang Ke had almost no possibility of rising again in the future.
Just ask, would Yank do this kind of self-digging thing?
And who can kill the Thirteen Witch Ancestors quietly without poisoning?
In this world, no one can do it, Lu Yan, the first immortal master of the Holy Dynasty, holding the Divine Sword, may be able to do it, but the Thirteen Witch Ancestors must also have sword wounds on their bodies, and it is impossible to be unscathed.
Chu Xian knew that if he wanted to lock down the real murderer, he had to know how the other party killed the Thirteen Witch Ancestors, which was very important.
......
Chu Xian sat in the Punishment Division, closing his eyes and pondering.
He has been thinking about it for a long time, but the fog of this big case seems to be difficult to get rid of, and in Chu Xian's mind, maybe the real murderer is hiding somewhere in Jingzhou at the moment, peeping.
Suddenly, Chu Xian had an inspiration, what if the real culprit really didn't leave? In other words, in order to cause a fight between the two clans, he deliberately did these things, and he definitely wanted to ensure that the plan was correct, and what he was most afraid of was that someone would find out the truth and hinder the plan of the two clans to fight each other.
So, nine times out of ten, the other party is still in Jingzhou.
