Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 923
The guard hall, the dark room, the atmosphere is dignified, the sparrows are silent, the needles can be heard, it is very depressing.

Tang Ning sat on the stone bench, watching the pictures flashing by on the stone wall with a blank expression, and the people standing behind him were all staring at the pictures on the wall without daring to breathe.

After an unknown amount of time, the picture on the stone wall suddenly disappeared, and the room was plunged into darkness.

Tangning said slowly, "Have you finished playing all the images saved and recorded by the Eye of Heaven and Earth?"

"Yes." A man next to him replied: "From the third day of December to today, all the recorded images have been projected in the area illuminated by the Eye of Heaven and Earth in the storage room."

"You have all seen that no one has entered the palace since the materials were transported into the storage room on the third day of December, but [-] pearls of purple smoke fruit have been repackaged. Who can tell me? What's going on here?" Tangning glanced across the crowd, but no one answered, and they all bowed their heads in silence.

"Huang Gan, you participated in the whole process of picking and escorting the elixir. Tell me, which part went wrong?"

Hearing this, Huang Gan's throat rolled, and he hesitated: "Disciple, this disciple believes that since the elixir was not packaged in the palace of the storage room, it must have been tampered with during the picking and escorting process. "

"However, during the picking process, the uncle and the disciples supervised the whole process. Two hundred and fifty pearls and elixir are not a small amount. It is absolutely impossible to transfer the package without knowing it, so it can only be escorted." Hands and feet on the way."

"During the day when the Yuanling Ship departed from Fengyan Mountain and returned to Pingling Mountain, the uncle practiced in the cabin room, and the disciple also returned to the cabin room for a while. Since the stone wall is made of the absolute god stone, it is If you can't detect the movement outside with your spiritual sense, this should be the only chance to change the package."

"However, two hundred and fifty medicinal herbs is not a small number. With so many people on the deck, it will definitely attract attention if they want to open the heavy stone box and exchange so many medicinal herbs secretly."

"So the only possibility is that during the process of loading into the stone box to check the quantity, someone secretly changed the elixir."

"At that time, my uncle, my disciples, and some monks went to check the images left by the Eye of Heaven and Earth in the Fengyan Mountain Herb Garden. If someone steals the prepared wooden box at this time, it may not be noticed."

After Huang Gansheng finished speaking, the room was silent. After a long silence, Tangning said coldly, "Senior brother Jiang has never had such a thing happen in all these years in office. Why did the incident happen when I just took office for one year?"

"This is someone deceiving me as a newcomer. It's so easy to talk. Pass the order. Everyone in Pingling Mountain put down their business at hand and immediately gather in front of the meeting hall."

"Yes." Several people responded and filed out of the room.

………………

In front of the Pingling Mountain Conference Hall, hordes of escaping light kept coming. Tang Ning was sitting at the head of the hall, while Yan Ming, Yang Qiushui, Xu Fan, and Cheng Qian were sitting below.

Not long after, Huang Qiansheng led more than a dozen monks from the guard hall to enter from the outside, bowed and saluted: "Uncle Master, everyone has arrived."

Tangning got up and walked in front of them, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "During the inspection by the brigade yesterday, something happened, maybe some people have heard about it, the supplies handed over to the sect, one of the stone boxes contained [-] Fifty Ziyan fruits were repackaged, and I carefully checked the recorded images of the Eye of Heaven and Earth in the main hall of the storage room, and no one has ever entered or exited."

"So someone must have changed the bag during the picking and escorting. You guards from the Hall of Guards followed me to pick and escort that day, and participated in the whole process."

"Now I will give you one last chance to tell me who stole the [-] pearls for the elixir."

There was silence in the hall, and everyone bowed their heads in silence.

"You are responsible for packing, inspection and escorting. It must be that one of you has secretly changed the medicinal herb. It doesn't matter. I can give you a cup of tea, think it over, and let me know when you think about it."

Still no one opened their mouths to speak. More than a dozen monks from the Guard Hall bowed their heads and remained silent. Tangning sat on the main seat and seemed not in a hurry.

The tea time passed quickly, and the hall was completely silent. Tangning said, "Since you all don't want to say anything, that's fine! All the people who were in charge of loading inspection that day stood up."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and seven people stepped out of the team.

"Senior, we didn't do anything to secretly exchange the elixir, please be aware, senior." One of the fair-faced men whispered.

"is it?"

"Yes."

Tangning disappeared instantly and appeared next to him, staring at him, "Let me ask you again, who stole the elixir?"

The man's eyes flickered, and his throat rolled: "I don't know, this junior."

As soon as the words were finished, Tangning shot out suddenly, and the five fingers of her palm passed through his head without any hindrance. With a wave of her right hand, her entire head was chopped off, and her body fell straight down. Blood gushed out from her neck and spread smoothly around her.

With a "thump", Yan Ming, Yang Qiushui, Xu Fan, and Cheng Qian suddenly stood up from their seats and looked at him in horror.

The others took a step back in unison, their expressions were horrified, and with the sound of gasping for air, several people's hands and feet were already trembling slightly.

The whole process happened in one go. Tangning inserted five fingers of his left hand into his skull and threw it casually. With a "boom", the bloody head fell to the ground and rolled several times until it touched It stopped at one person's feet.

The five transparent holes for fingers on the skull are conspicuous, and the eyes are wide open.

With the sound of the head falling to the ground, the bodies of several people in the hall visibly trembled.

Tangning flicked her sleeves as if nothing had happened, stood with her hands behind her back and said calmly, "Just now I have made it clear that some of you are greedy for the elixir, but he said that none of you know the details of this matter, this is a blatant deception Me, do you think I'm a fool?"

"You." Tangning pointed at a man casually, "Tell me, who did this, and I will give you ten counts of time to think about it."

As soon as the words fell, the man knelt down on his knees with a thud, his whole body trembling, his face paled in shock, and he kowtowed in fear and fear: "Senior, spare your life, Senior, spare your life."

"dong dong dong"

The sound of head hitting the ground continued to resound in the hall.

The others all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

Tangning remained expressionless, counting the time on her own.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

As he fell to the ground with a sound, the man's body trembled more and more.

"Junior, please forgive me, senior." The man tremblingly said, "The [-] pearls of medicinal herbs were indeed made by Lin Quan."

"Who is Lin Quan?"

"It's the person who was killed by the senior just now."

Tangning sneered, "You really have a plan to push everything to the dead."

Hearing this, the man's body trembled suddenly: "Senior is clear, what this junior said is true, it was indeed Lin Quan who stole the [-] pearls of purple smoke fruit, if senior doesn't believe it, you can ask other people."

"Ask other people? So all of you know that Lin Quan did this?"

When the other five heard this, they fell to their knees with a plop, terrified, and shouted for mercy.

"How much elixir did each of you share?" Tangning said indifferently. He was not too surprised that all the people left behind for inspection were involved in the theft. Two hundred and fifty beads of medicinal herbs were not a small sum. Perhaps no one will notice the stealing of a few boxes, but with such a large amount, it is difficult to completely hide it from others.

After all, they were on the deck of the warship at the time, even if they were inspected separately, the observation and sensitivity of the monk could not be weak.

Therefore, there are only two possibilities, either one of them took it, and the others turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it.

Or everyone conspired to steal Ziyan fruit.

So when someone said something he didn't know, he killed the person on the spot without even interrogating him.

One is unable to hold back the anger in his heart.

The two are killing chickens and monkeys.

"Senior Mingjian, junior and others really didn't take a single elixir." The talented person said just now.

"You didn't take it? Then why did you shield him?"

The man replied: "At that time, Lin Quan secretly exchanged medicinal herbs. After being discovered by Chen Yun, it quickly attracted our attention. In order to calm the matter, Lin Quan gave each of us a hush money of [-] Lingshi."

"Lin Quan incited us to say that if you take a little of the ten thousand beads of medicinal herbs, you won't be discovered at all. As long as you hand it in, you won't be able to find us. In addition, we get along well on weekdays, so we can't bear to expose him, so I was fascinated by ghosts for a while, and I acquiesced in his actions."

"Yesterday, I heard that the inspectors of the brigade found out the medicinal herb that was stolen. The younger generation was in a state of panic, and was about to come to plead guilty to the senior."

"Lin Quan found us again and threatened that we were accomplices. If we turn ourselves in at this time, it will definitely end badly. It's better to refuse to admit it. He has prepared a set of arguments, and he will come forward to clarify and persuade the senior."

"The juniors were worried that they would not be able to explain clearly, and they were afraid of being implicated, so they agreed to him and did not come to sue him."

"Senior, please be clear. The junior and others really did not participate in the theft of the elixir. I hope the senior will give us a chance, and the junior will never dare to do it again."

"Is that so?" Tangning stared blankly at the others.

"Yes, Senior Mingjian."

"It was Lin Quan who persecuted us."

"The younger generation really did not participate in the theft of the elixir, the senior has clearly found out."

Several people hurriedly said.
