dead body search

Tianji City.

Zhou family.

Clan meeting.

Zhao Suya stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, Hou Dongsheng, an elder with a foreign surname, will soon be canonized as Elder Yunxiao of the Divine Sword Sect. This is an honor that our entire Zhou family has never had in a thousand years!"

"Let me congratulate Elder Yunxiao." The Zhou clan and the elders of the Xuanyang sect all congratulated Hou Dongsheng in unison.

"The official canonization ceremony has not yet started, so please don't address me like that." Hou Dongsheng said humbly.

"The auditorium has already planted jade butterflies, and the date of canonization has been set. Elder Hou should stop being self-effacing."

"Yeah, Elder Hou is really too humble. This Elder Yunxiao is no less than Jindan Daoist."

"Three months later, Master Xiaolu, the Elder of the Golden Core of the Divine Sword Sect, will go to our Zhou Family in Tianji City to hold the canonization ceremony. Our palace has decided to build a mansion in the back mountain and name it Yunxiao Mansion, and present it to Elder Dongsheng." Zhao Suya said with a smile.

"Thank you, madam." Hou Dongsheng said gratefully, cupping his hands.

……

Wangfenggu.

Otani.

There is only Hou Dongsheng in the valley, and only a few disciples outside the valley.

Three months later, Elder Yunxiao's mansion will be completed, and Hou Dongsheng is going to take this opportunity to completely refine and celebrate the fire.

After all, the treasure still has to be swallowed in the stomach to be at ease.

After inspecting the layout in the valley, Hou Dongsheng turned on the Flame Demon Lord to transform into a big sun prayer wheel, and the endless power of Haoyang was attracted like a waterfall.

Hou Dongsheng's body burst out with a pure white sun fire, scorching flames, boiling like slurry, turning into lava, rolling and flowing.

The celebration fire wrapped in prismatic crystals appeared in front of Hou Dongsheng.

Relying on the transformation of the Flame Demon Lord, Hou Dongsheng swallowed the celebration fire into his belly in one gulp, and the prismatic crystal was calcined by the hot and sunny real fire, causing it to melt slowly.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the crystal exploded.

Qinghuo flew from the top of Hou Dongsheng's head into the dantian, turning into a ball of pure fire.

That's right.

Pure!

Different from the real fire of the big day, which is from Zhigang to Yang, Qinghuo is composed of pure fire elements, and it is an ultimate source.

When the celebration fire entered his body, there was a crackling sound from Hou Dongsheng's body.

Hou Dongsheng quickly circulated the Great Sun Scripture, frantically absorbing the celebration fire.

One after another, red-golden flames gushed out from the dantian, galloped along the limbs, and wandered around the body, constantly tempering the body and transforming the blood.

After three months...

Tianji City.

Zhoujiabao.

Outer Fort.

commonplace.

"Why are there so many lights and festoons in the castle today?" An old man passed by the gate and asked the passers-by curiously.

"You don't know this? Today is the day when I, Elder Yunxiao of the Zhou Clan Fort, canonize it. Immortal Xiaolu in the Shenjianmen Auditorium will go to this castle to read the canonization of Jade Butterfly in person. This honor is no less than that of the canonization of the Jindan Immortal." Passers-by said enviously.

"So that's it!" The old man nodded, "No wonder so many people went there today."

"Not only that, but this time there are also many disciples of the Divine Sword Sect and second-tier forces who came to congratulate them." Passers-by continued.

"No wonder there are so many people."

In the inner castle.

Ritual and music together.

Hou Dongsheng was dressed in brocade clothes, surrounded by many servants and guests, and came to the entrance of the main hall.

"Meet Master Yunxiao!"

"No, no, not yet." Hou Dongsheng waved his hands quickly.

Exactly at this time.

An auspicious cloud rose from the sky, and within the auspicious cloud, there were dozens of silhouettes faintly.

The light fell.

Daoist Xiaolu, who was dressed in Jinxiu palace attire, stood in the center, Zhu Yuheng, the head of the Excalibur Sect, stood behind, and on the left and right sides stood several burly disciples, looking majestic.

"Could that black-robed gold-pattern Taoist be Zhu Yuheng, the head of the Divine Sword Sect?" An elder of the Zhou family's Jiji said excitedly and inexplicably.

"Really? This is the first time I have met the head of the Excalibur Sect."

"Xiaolu real person, have you seen it?"

"..."

"That's the head of a faction, how can you just see it casually?"

"The sect of cultivating immortals always respects cultivation, and the head of the sect is a ball in front of real Xiaolu."

"Yeah, I'm superficial."

……

Amidst the sound of ceremony and music, Zhao Suya controlled her son to bow and salute Xiaolu Daoist and said, "Welcome Xiaolu Daoist, Master Zhu is here."

"Patriarch Zhou doesn't need to be too polite." Daoist Xiaolu said with a light smile.

"Thank you, Master Xiaolu." The puppet Zhou Chengyong bowed again.

"Today, my Divine Sword Sect was ordered to come to Zhoujiabao to confer Hou Dongsheng as Elder Yunxiao of our sect." Zhu Yuheng said.

"The etiquette has been prepared, and please move to the main hall with Master Xiaolu and Master Zhu." Zhou Chengyong said.

"Alright, let's go." Master Xiaolu nodded, turned and walked towards the inner hall.

A group of people followed behind him.

inner hall.

The crowd lined up on both sides.

"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Today, my Divine Sword Sect canonized Hou Dongsheng as Elder Yunxiao. Now I invite Hou Dongsheng to come on stage and accept the canonization." Zhu Yuheng waved his sleeves.

"Yes!"

Hou Dongsheng made a promise, and immediately stepped forward, came to the top of the high platform, and bowed to stand in front of the real Xiaolu.

Sprinkle talisman water, give jade butterfly, and cover with red seal.

These red tape programs were all set earlier, and only these etiquettes can show the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower levels.

It is etiquette for the weak to obey the strong.

Disobedience means disrespect, lack of etiquette.

If there is no etiquette, there will be conflicts. After the fight, you can clearly distinguish the strengths and weaknesses, and you can figure out what etiquette is.

The so-called civilized etiquette is nothing but groveling after being subdued.

"Congratulations Brother Hou for being promoted to Elder Yunxiao."

"Congratulations, Brother Hou, for becoming the Elder Yunxiao of the Divine Sword Sect."

"congratulations!"

Upon seeing this, all the guests stepped forward one after another and presented their congratulatory gifts.

"Congratulations Hou Daoyou, you have become the elder Yunxiao of the Divine Sword Sect." Li Xiaoyu clasped his fists and said.

"Miss Xiaoyu, I really didn't expect you to come in person." Hou Dongsheng smiled back.

"Hou Daoyou, becoming the elder of Yunxiao is the pride of the entire Tianji City. Our Li family is one of the three great families in Tianji City, how can we not come to congratulate?" Li Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Thank you, then."

"You Daoist Hou, you are being polite." Li Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"By the way... half a year ago, Patriarch Zhou was plotted against by the Hu family and Hu Yunfei and nearly lost his life. Does Hou Daoyou have clues about the murderer behind the scenes?" Li Xiaoyu asked suddenly.

Hou Dongsheng took a deep look at Li Xiaoyu. Originally, he was most suspicious of this woman, but after fighting with Li Changkong, he found that no trap was set at all, so he ruled out her suspicion.

"I don't know, maybe you have clues?" Hou Dongsheng asked.

Li Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said: "But I know that the blood-killing sword sect killer who attacked you that day was named Yin Wuqing, and he was a monk who practiced the "Taiyin Refining Shape Jue". This "Taiyin Refining Shape Jue" is With the pure vaginal method, practitioners will inevitably turn into a cold body with white hair."

Hou Dongsheng nodded: "That person is indeed pure vaginal method, but I don't know if his name is Yin Wuqing."

"Don't you even check this?" Li Xiaoyu asked strangely.

Hou Dongsheng smiled and shook his head.

He didn't even bother to check it!
As long as Hou Dongsheng's real strength is not known, the enemy will only die, give treasure, and send materials if he jumps out.

So there is no need to waste time on intrigue.

You just need to constantly improve your strength and prepare your cards.

"Hou Daoyou's generosity is really admirable, but being calculated by others is not a comfortable thing after all. After all, there is a second time after the first time. The first time can't calculate you, but the second time can't." It's hard to say, after all, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days in this world." Li Xiaoyu reminded.

"I've already found out where Yin Wuqing is. Hou Daoyou may be able to find the mastermind behind that day through this person." After finishing speaking, Li Xiaoyu took out a note from his bosom and stuffed it into Hou Dongsheng's hand.

This action was like putting his little hand into Hou Dongsheng's, which seemed quite intimate.

With a flash of black air in Hou Dongsheng's hand, the note entered the dust world.

The second soul opened the note, and an address was written on the note.

The location is actually in Tianji City.

An assassin who killed the Sword Sect with blood, missed a single hit, and instead of fleeing away immediately, instead lurked in Tianji City, it was clear that he wanted to continue assassinating himself.

After thinking for a moment, Hou Dongsheng said: "It seems that Fellow Daoist Li has already guessed who is behind the scenes, so let's hear it."

"Hehe... It's better for Fellow Daoist Hou to investigate this matter by himself. This girl is already suspicious, so I'm afraid she'll make too many mistakes." Li Xiaoyu said with a smile on her face.

"But it doesn't matter."

Li Xiaoyu's eyes flickered and he said in a low voice: "The people behind the scenes are nothing less than Li, Hu, Zhou, that's all for now."

After Li Xiaoyu finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Hou Dongsheng fell silent on the spot.

Li, Hu, Zhou.

Why didn't Hou Dongsheng think this way?

Although the Hu family is not in harmony with the Zhou family, they are fighting against the Li family. They will definitely not try to kill Zhou Chengyong at this time.

Zhou Chengyong is just a monk in the Qi refining period, but he is the patriarch of the Zhou family and belongs to the facade.

No matter how stupid the Hu family is, it is impossible to smash the Zhou family's facade at this time.

This is tantamount to not wanting to cooperate.

But would the Hu family not want to cooperate?
Hmm...he really didn't want to, he wanted to swallow the Zhou family directly, but the Li family didn't allow it.

Therefore, the Hu family wanted Zhou and the Li family to do it together, and that's why the Zhou family's crafting master handed over the blood-melting magic knife to the Li family.

This thing is too rough!

The style of the people behind the scenes is completely different, even Li Xiaoyu's level has not reached.

It is estimated that in all likelihood, Hu Yande made his own claims.

The Li family was originally the most suspicious, but Li Xiaoyu obviously didn't follow up. It doesn't seem like the people behind the scenes are exhaustive, and the intention of the people behind the scenes to blame the Li family is too obvious, so to speak.

Could it be the Zhou family?

The Zhou family killed Zhou Chengyong by themselves?
This is even more impossible!

unless……

Hou Dongsheng suddenly raised his head to look at Zhao Suya and Zhou Chengyong, the meat puppet beside Zhao Suya, his eyes narrowed slightly.

If this is the case, this Zhao Suya is really unexpected.

After the Yunxiao Ceremony, the Zhou family saw off the guests, and Hou Dongsheng was invited into the newly built Yunxiao Mansion.

That night.

Hou Dongsheng called Liu Hang to his side for a long talk.

"Junior brother, please sit down quickly." Hou Dongsheng pointed to the seat beside him and said.

Liu Heng nodded: "Thank you, brother."

Then he sat down opposite.

Hou Dongsheng looked at his younger brother carefully. He had grown two beards, and he was quite mature after being completely childish.

"Tell me about the current development of Xuanyang Sect." Hou Dongsheng said calmly.

"Brother, my Xuanyang sect adheres to the same philosophy and spreads the Sun and Moon Double Fist widely. Today, there are countless monks practicing the Sun and Moon Double Fist from the three major families in Jicheng, and the number of registered monks is as high as [-]. And under the influence of the Sun and Moon Double Fist, my Xuanyang Sect's prestige among the cultivators has increased day by day, and now accounts for one-third of the cultivators in Tianji City, and among them, some small sects and forces are also included monk."

Hearing this, Hou Dongsheng smiled.

"The reputation of Xuanyangzong is getting bigger and bigger."

"It's all thanks to the senior brother's public martial arts competition." Liu Heng said modestly.

"However, the Xuanyang Sect has no new foundation-building monks in the past two years, which has had a considerable impact on the reputation of the Sun and Moon Fist. After all, there are many monks with poor spiritual roots who practice the Sun and Moon Fist to break through the shackles. "Liu Heng said with a sigh.

"Isn't Bear King fast?"

"He doesn't have the Foundation Establishment Pill yet."

"Don't worry, he will." Hou Dongsheng said with a smile on his face.

"Little brother, you and Zhao Suya have lived together for almost three years, how do you feel about her?"

Liu Heng frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Miss Zhao is meticulous in her thinking, and she does everything seamlessly, but her personality is a little bit strong."

"Her strength may be due to your weakness. When you feel that the relationship is not harmonious, you might as well be strong, or let her go." Hou Dongsheng said coldly.

"Senior brother is very true. Junior brother respectfully obeys the instruction." Liu Hang clasped his hands in response.

"Emotional test is also a catastrophe on the road of practice. For you, it may be the biggest test." Hou Dongsheng said lightly.

"If I were a demon, the demons would see the world; if I were a human, I would be in the world of demons." Hou Dongsheng raised his head and said calmly.

"Brother, what does this mean?"

"This is the way of magic!" Hou Dongsheng looked at Liu Hang and said.

"The righteous way goes with the flow, the evil way goes against the sky, and all things in this world always hold the yin and embrace the yang to make peace."

"Brother, do you want to be both righteous and evil?"

"No... For us monks, both good and evil people can achieve Taoism, but this world is neither good nor evil, and our monks must follow the way of heaven to practice."

"Following the way of heaven, isn't it the right way?" Liu Heng asked.

"Yeah, brother is walking the right way." Hou Dongsheng said lightly.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Liu Heng asked with a big frown.

"I let you try, not to make you addicted, but to cut it off." Hou Dongsheng hesitated to speak.

"Elder brother, what do you mean?"

"Slaying the heart demon is the beginning of practice."

"But senior brother, you taught me not to be a heartless person." Liu Heng retorted.

Hou Dongsheng looked at Liu Heng, and after pondering for a long time, he said: "By the way... Zhou Chengyong has been gone for more than half a year."

"Yes."

"Did you two go to the funeral?"

Liu Heng shook his head and said, "Zhou Chengyong's body was placed in a secret room in Zhao Suya's bedroom, and it has not been buried yet."

Hou Dongsheng: "..."

"Oh...it's really embarrassing for Mrs. Zhao." Hou Dongsheng said with a sigh.

"Go down and call the Bear King, I want to urge him to retreat." Hou Dongsheng said.

Liu Heng clasped his fists and left.

Watching Liu Hang's leaving back, Hou Dongsheng narrowed his eyes slightly.

Should not be wrong!
Zhou Chengyong didn't die at all, otherwise Zhao Suya wouldn't go to pay homage for half a year?

The person behind the scenes is Zhao Suya.

What a trick...

Firstly, Zhou Chengyong can completely get rid of Xuanyangzong's monitoring; secondly, Hou Dongsheng, the old elder of Xuanyangzong, can be cut out.

Just like Hou Dongsheng killed Zhou Zhifei and Zhou Zhixian as soon as he made a move, Zhao Suya had to find a way to kill Hou Dongsheng if she wanted to completely control Xuanyangzong, otherwise it would be hard to say who would swallow up Xuanyangzong and the Zhou family.

Li Changkong was just a pawn she used. It would be better if Hou Dongsheng died in the arena. If not, Hou Dongsheng would surely become famous and be noticed by the Divine Sword Sect. At that time, the various tasks of the Divine Sword Sect would directly find Hou Dongsheng. Dongsheng.

For example, Yi Tiantai had a near-death battle, and even though Elder Yunxiao was honored, his obligations were definitely not small, which is equivalent to Hou Dongsheng, who has already been used by Shenjianmen, and has no energy to interfere with the affairs of the Zhou family.

half year ago……

Hou Dongsheng carried Zhou Chengyong, who was dying of severe poison, back to Zhou's house.

In fact, Zhao Suya already had the antidote in her hands, and she sent a message from the Zhou family monk: Li Changkong will hand over the antidote only after a duel with Hou Dongsheng.

Hou Dongsheng was forced to leave by "Dayi", and while Hou Dongsheng was leaving, Zhao Suya sent Liu Heng to give the antidote to his son Zhou Chengyong, and Zhou Chengyong's life was no longer in danger.

Then Zhao Suya led a group of Zhou family monks to force Hou Dongsheng to go to the appointment to fight Li Changkong with "great righteousness".

When Hou Dongsheng and Li Changkong fought to the death, Zhao Suya returned to Zhoujiabao to deal with everything.

Send Zhou Chengyong out quietly, and then find a mortal who looks similar to Zhou Chengyong, kill him with a knife and pretend to be a corpse.

Hou Dongsheng returned to Zhoujiabao and proposed to use Zhou Chengyong's corpse as a mold to make meat puppets. Zhao Suya's resignation was not out of love for her son's corpse, but because she knew that once Hou Dongsheng came into contact with Zhou Chengyong's corpse, he would definitely die. Can find clues.

"Wonderful, wonderful..." Hou Dongsheng admired in his heart.

This method is simply too clever.

If Li Xiaoyu hadn't reminded him, Hou Dongsheng would never have thought of it.

correct!

The Hu family might also be involved...

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Hu Yunfei to poison Zhou Chengyong at the cost of his life, which only a monk of the Hu family can do.

Zhao Suya must have secretly cooperated with the Hu family!
Back then when Li Xiaoyu blatantly robbed Biguang Castle, Zhao Suya took her son to the Hu family and reached a secret agreement with the Hu family. Although the agreement was torn up later, the channel of communication was still there.

Hu Yunfei of the Hu family poisoned Zhou Chengyong in front of the public; Zhao Suya secretly gave the antidote, and Zhao Suya and the Hu family acted together for Hou Dongsheng and the Li family.

If the Xuanyangzong and the Li family fight for the best, no matter how bad it is, Zhou Chengyong can be completely out of Xuanyangzong's control, and Hou Dongsheng will be restricted in his whereabouts as a member of the Shenjianmen, and he will live up to his former freedom.

If so...

Then Zhao's mother and son can no longer stay.

However, all of this stems from the fact that Hou Dongsheng's speculation still needs evidence. After all, it is not the first time he has guessed wrong.

Find Zhou Chengyong's body first, and then find Zhou Chengyong alive to gradually confirm his guess.
