When I was a Taoist

Chapter 723

When the four of us hurried to the ice cellar, we found that the inside had been blown into ruins, and even the remains of the corpse could not be found.The three of us stood dumbfounded in front of the ruins. Wang Zhengyi walked over cautiously and said in a low voice: "Actually, not only the Great Elder and the Third Elder, but also a dozen senior brothers are also stored here. This accident, their It is unlikely that the body will ever be found again."

I took a deep breath, gritted my teeth and asked, "Do you know what the hell is going on?"

Wang Zhengyi shook his head, his face full of guilt: "My lord, I'm sorry, I don't know what happened here. Originally, I was the person in charge of guarding this place, but a black shadow flashed by, and I passed out directly. In the end, I was awakened by the sound of the explosion. When I woke up, this place had already become ruins."

After speaking, Wang Zhengyi lowered his head and apologized to us again and again.I waved my hand and said, "It's not your fault, do you still remember when this black shadow appeared?"

Wang Zhengyi thought for a while, and said with certainty: "Not long after you left, I was attacked by that black shadow. My lord, if I had been prepared, I would have beaten that bastard to death!"

I smiled, shook my head and said, "If you meet him again in the future, stay away from him. You are not his opponent at all. You are very lucky that he didn't kill you this time. You should go and inform Chairman Zhou Jun first. He needs to handle it."

Wang Zhengyi nodded and left. I slammed my fist on the wall, feeling extremely angry and angry.There is no doubt that this black shadow who attacked Wang Zhengyi was the mysterious man I met in the woods before. He already knew my identity and our every move!Just as the three of us had just left, he slipped into the branch and blew up the bodies of the elders and the others to pieces.

Fan Chen also sighed, and asked: "Zhou Jun walked in front of us, so it is impossible for him to do it. After thinking about it, it can only be done by that mysterious person. He blew up the ice cellar, and then Take a shortcut to meet the third elder before us. I think those traps were also set by Zhou Jun to delay our time."

"What's the use of knowing this, the corpses of the two elders and so many fellow Taoists have been turned into pieces, this is our responsibility." I smiled wryly.

Erha, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "Dazhi, do you think this matter is a bit strange? As soon as we left, this guy slipped in and destroyed the ice cellar. And he knew that we would definitely follow the three Elder, it’s impossible for him to stay outside the branch and wait for us all the time, right?”

"You mean, Zhou Jun's people are watching us, so they know our every move?"

I frowned. In fact, this is the most likely possibility, and only one person is the most suspect, but I don't want to think about that step.Seeing my hesitation, Fan Chen and Erha immediately said: "I'd rather believe it. No one will know our every move except Wang Zhengyi. If you don't want to stop, let's do it. If you continue to be passive like this, I'm afraid the entire Nancheng branch will be destroyed by them!"

"Wait a little longer! We have no evidence. If he is wronged, it may have a great impact on him." I still don't want to believe this, after all, I saw the fearlessness and integrity in Wang Zhengyi's eyes. The overwhelming sense of justice is exactly the same as that of me back then.I don't want to believe that he is the traitor. If these are all his acting skills, then I will admit it willingly.

At this moment, Zhou Jun hurried over with his people, and when he saw the ruined ice cellar, his face turned livid with anger, and he roared angrily, "Who did this!"

Wang Zhengyi told him the story again, Zhou Jun gave him a hard look, and shouted: "I entrusted you with such an important task, I didn't expect you to be so careless, let that bastard break in and openly destroy the ice cellar. Let's not talk about the impact of this incident, am I worthy of the Great Elder and the others now!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Jun was about to slap Wang Zhengyi on the face. I stepped forward to grab his wrist, shook my head and said, "Forget it, it's not his fault at all."

Zhou Jun glanced at me and said helplessly: "Brother Dazhi, I know you don't have the heart to teach him a lesson. But the destruction of the ice cellar today was entirely due to the negligence of him and the guards, so that guy took advantage of it. If you don't punish him, Others may feel chilled."

"Punishment is fine, but I am the punishment elder, and I have the final say on this matter." I still refused to let go. I don't know if it is because I completely hate Zhou Jun now, so my tone is also unusually cold.Zhou Jun was stunned for a moment, and finally withdrew his hand, nodded and said: "You are right, then I will call today's guards over later, and let them accept punishment according to the rules."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Jun arranged for people to start cleaning the ice cellar.After all, there was another corpse of the third elder, so there must be a place to store it.Seeing everyone busily carrying out broken stones and walls from the ruins, and even fragments of flesh and blood appearing, my heart was filled with anger, and I wished I could press Zhou Jun to the ground and force him to find out the whereabouts of the mysterious man.

"Brother Dazhi, come with me."

Zhou Jun took me to a corner and said, "What do you think of this matter?"

"There is a ghost." I replied blankly.

"Why did you appear at the place where the third elder died in the morning? Are you suspicious of him and have been following him for the past two days?" Zhou Jun asked suspiciously.

I glanced at him and was almost overwhelmed by his acting skills.He obviously knows all the truth, but now he pretends to be ignorant.Taking a deep breath, I nodded and said: "That's right, even if the third elder is not suspected, but both the first elder and the second elder are dead, it would be too strange for him to be left alone, so I asked Erha Fanchen to keep an eye on him." he."

Zhou Jun lit a cigarette, and his voice suddenly became cold: "You are still pretending to be stupid, and I am actually one of your targets. Today, the three of you are not only following the third elder, but also following the third elder. Follow me, right?"

I looked at him in surprise, speechless for a while.Zhou Jun took another puff of his cigarette and said, "I know what you mean. You suspect that I am with the murderer, so you have been wary of me from the beginning, and let Wang Zhengyi watch my every move." .But if I tell you that this really has nothing to do with me, will you believe me?"
