Confucian Sword Immortal: After studying for ten years, his majesty reaches the sky

"Murong Gongzi, please drink tea.

Looking at the clear tea in the cup, Murong Yu was silent for a long time before he said with some embarrassment:

"Brother Chen, do you know how much it cost to repair the Confucian stone that was shattered by your poem last time?"

"How much?"

"One hundred thousand taels of silver." Chen

Ning: "......"

"What about Jinding?"

"I'm afraid it will start at least 500,000 taels of silver."

Chen Ning gasped.

Yesterday, Murong Yu was called by Li Daru for an hour-long interview.

A few Confucian scholars in the academy emptied their private money, and they reluctantly filled the hole.

Although the Confucians endured the pain and did not mention the problem of money.

However, Li Daru still demanded that the two of them make meritorious contributions and must solve a case.

Murong Yu said,

"I have already delivered the corpse of the six-armed true demon to the academy, and the great Confucian scholars are using the 'Trace of the Roots' to find the traces of the Red Blood Gate.

Before that, Li Daru put us in charge of dealing with a recent rumor in the capital. "

Rumors?"

"Well, rumors about merfolk's revenge.

"I also listen to this rumor...... No, it was Aunt Zhang next door who said it!"

On the side, Qing Yan suddenly said with interest.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaohua is a cute raccoon cat in the inn who is favored by the group.

But since Qing Yan came, Xiaohua has been by her side almost all day long......

Rumors of mermaid revenge have indeed spread through the streets of the capital recently.

Because in the past week, there have been six victims.

All six of them have the same characteristics.

One is that all of them were monks, and the other was that all six of them had their hearts gouged out by harpoons when they died, and their corpses all developed fish scales, skin, and fins that resembled mermaids.

In this regard, the people have different opinions.

However, so far, no one has seen the real body of the murderer.

Chen Ning pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked,

"Is there any connection between these hunted monks?"

"What does Brother Chen mean is that this demon may have a purpose in committing crimes?"

Since the targets of the hunt are all monks, people instinctively think that the demon is randomly hunting monks out of revenge, and turning them into half-fish monsters to vent their anger.

Hearing this, Murong Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother Chen, wait a minute, I'll go and get the file right away. "

With his status as a gentleman of the academy, Murong Yu is qualified to obtain case files directly from the government.

Soon after, he returned with several case files.

Sure enough, as Chen Ning expected, these hunted monks were also from the Qingtian Temple outside the capital.

"Brother Chen, Gao Ming!

Of all the Qingtian Temple monks who entered Beijing, only one of them is still alive now, and it seems that it should be his turn tonight. The

clue has been found, but looking at the records in the file, Chen Ning couldn't help frowning slightly:

"But there is one thing that is very strange, since you know that you are being hunted down, why do these monks not only not ask for the protection of the government, but even deliberately live in a remote location where no one is around?"

"Brother Chen means that there may also be problems with these monks?"

"Well, but what it is, we should be able to know tonight." "

......

In the evening, Chen Ning and Murong Yu arrived near the inn where the last Qingtian Temple monk lived.

As the night deepened, the vicinity of the remote inn was deserted, as dark as a deep bottomless cave.

But after opening the Red Lotus Divine Pupil, night was almost like day to Chen Ning, and his vision would not be hindered in the slightest.

In the inn.

"Click. In

the silent room, the red rope suddenly broke, and the scattered Buddha beads fell to the ground.

"He's here!" the

robed monk was terrified and looked out the window in fear.

"Escape, you must escape, or I will be killed!" the

monk wrapped his robe tightly, covering his entire body and even his face.

He ran down the inn in a panic and looked around nervously.

At this moment, the monk's pupils suddenly shrank.

I saw a figure slowly approaching from a distance.

It was a man with a hat on his head and a cloak on his head.

At first glance, the man's appearance only looks like an ordinary person who is not good-looking.

But just look closely, you can clearly see that the man's complexion is blue, and there is a series of water marks left in the place where he passes.

This man, apparently, is a dead water ghost!"

Although

it was far inferior to the Red Lotus Divine Pupil, Murong Yu also saw the water ghost through Confucianism.

"And sure enough, it came.

Murong Yu noticed the harpoon in the hand of the water ghost.

"This kind of weapon is usually only used by the merfolk clan, and it seems that this water ghost really has something to do with the merfolk.

But...... If it was just for revenge, why did he go to great lengths to turn the corpse into a mermaid?"

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

At this time, the Qingtian Temple monk had already turned around and desperately fled in the opposite direction, and his frightened voice was sharp and piercing.

But the eyes of the water ghost were already full of coldness, and his body exuded a strong killing intent.

The harpoon in his hand shone blue, and in an instant he had caught up with the monk.

The harpoon pierced the air.

At the moment when he was about to pierce the monk's body.

"Boom!" a

strand of purple gas turned into a barrier that instantly flicked the harpoon open.

"It's just a stone's throw away. In

the next second, Chen Ning had already appeared in front of the man, and the fist wind was whistling.

"Bang!" the

water ghost's body flew out directly under this terrifying power.

But the blue glow of the harpoon in his hand actually blocked most of the force of this punch, so that the water ghost was not seriously injured.

Chen Ning was also slightly surprised.

This hat water ghost is very weak, and he only has the strength of the sixth-rank grandmaster realm.

Able to block his own punch, the pearl set in the harpoon is probably an extremely precious treasure.

However, after all, it is only weapons and not people who are strong.

"Verbal criticism.

"Break!"

As Chen Ning wrote the word "broken" in the air, the words instantly transformed into a sharp half-arc of Confucianism.

"Click!"

The barrier finally reached its limit, shattering in an instant.

Before the water ghost could react, Chen Ning had already slapped the flying harpoon with one palm, directly choking his throat.

"Gentleman's Sword.

Chen Ning called out to the sea of knowledge.

The next moment, the gentleman's sword that appeared in his hand turned out to be a white sword that had not appeared for a long time.

In the cognition of the gentleman's sword, it seems that he does not think that the water ghost should be killed.

And so it was. Chen

Ning had already noticed the strangeness.

Although the case of the monk being hunted down and killed by Qingtian Temple seems to be a demon depravity, this incident is full of strangeness from beginning to end.

The monks of the temple would rather risk being hunted down than ask for help from the Demon Suppressor or the government.

Obviously, they also have some ulterior secrets hidden in them, and they have ghosts in their hearts.

"This lord, this water ghost is a demon, kill him quickly!"

"He's a demon, aren't you?"

Chen Ning kicked the monk of Qingtian Temple away.

Under the cover of the robe, the monk was unexpectedly carrying a fish's fins, and his whole body was covered with fish scales.

His face was half-human, half-fish, as bloated and twisted as a tumor, and ugly.
