Si Lei Zhenjun

In the morning, the sun is shining brightly.

"Here, this is the flying sword that Master picked up for you."

In the courtyard, there was a "clang" sound, and Qi Shunan casually threw a long sword at Chu Xing's feet.

The sword is more than four feet long, with a simple and heavy shape. The hilt is engraved with cloud patterns. The sword body is radiant and restrained, with countless Taoist rhymes flowing through it.

However, Chu Xing couldn't be happy at all. He leaned over to pick up the flying sword, looked at his master and said with a wry smile:

"Master, can't you pick up a more ordinary flying sword for me? This sword has an extraordinary origin. I'm afraid that if I take it out in the future, I will be recognized. What should I do if the victim comes to find me?"

Qi Shunan frowned slightly and glared at him unhappily:

"If you recognize me, then recognize me. Who would dare to steal my things from Piaomiao Peak?"

Chu Xing felt it necessary to popularize legal knowledge to the ignorant master, and asked:

"Then Master, tell me honestly, was this sword robbed or stolen?"

Qi Shunan said:

"I already said I picked it up. These stolen flying swords have already been claimed by someone else, and you can't use them."

Chu Xing understood, it was stolen!

He pondered for a moment and said:

"Master, Article 64 of the Dali Criminal Code states that anyone who steals a large amount of public or private property, or who commits multiple thefts, burglary, theft with a weapon, or pickpocketing, shall be sentenced to a fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years and a fine."

"Where the amount involved is huge or there are other serious circumstances, the offender shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than fifteen years and shall also be fined."

"Where the amount is especially huge or there are other especially serious circumstances, the offender shall be sentenced to imprisonment of not less than 15 years or life imprisonment, and a fine or confiscation of property."

As he spoke, Chu Xing raised the flying sword in his hand and said:

"For this flying sword, I estimate that he will be sentenced to life imprisonment at the very least."

"That's right, we can't be arrested now." Qi Shunan nodded in agreement, then frowned and said:

"What should we do? Yuluan and I spent a lot of effort to pick this up. Wouldn't it be a waste if you can't use it?"

At this time, Shen Yuluan suddenly said with a smile:

"It's simple. Just don't be recognized."

"Yuluan, do you have a solution?"

Shen Yuluan said:

"This Panying Ancient Sword has not been used for three thousand years. Its properties are probably unknown to many people. We can find a swordsmith to modify its appearance to resemble the Jueyun Ancient Sword of your Yunxiao Sect."

"Your disciple has formed a Wind and Thunder Golden Core. When the sword is drawn, there will definitely be a surge of wind and thunder. In the future, you can completely lie and say that it is the Jueyun Ancient Sword, and no one will notice anything unusual."

Chu Xing: “???”

He had read the classics about the List of Heaven and Earth Magical Treasures and remembered it clearly.

The Jueyun Ancient Sword ranks 13th on the list of magical treasures of heaven and earth. It is the sword of Lu Yuan, the current leader of the Yunxiao Sect. When the sword is drawn, the sky and the earth change color, the wind and clouds surge, the dark clouds roll and gather like ink, and lightning and thunder follow.

The Panying Ancient Sword ranks 29th on the List of Magical Treasures of Heaven and Earth. Because it has not been published for a long time, there are no detailed records about it, but it is said that it is now in the Sword Washing Pool of the Shanhai Sword Sect.

You stole it from me??!

Qi Shunan pouted her lips and frowned slightly.

"Then I have to go and borrow the sword from old man Lu Yuan. That old man is stingy and may not lend it to me."

"Do you still need to borrow it?" Shen Yuluan rolled her eyes at her and said:

"Didn't we meet Wan Shankong here last time? He's considered one of the world's most famous swordsmiths, and he happens to be from your Yunxiao Sect. He must have come into contact with the Jueyun Ancient Sword."

Qi Shunan smiled brightly, looked at Shen Yuluan and praised: "Yuluan, you are really smart!"

……

Qian Kui Gate, inside Kuinan Tiandong Mansion.

"Has everyone in the Ten Thousand Corpse Cave left?"

Kui Nantian put down the jade bowl in his hand, looked at Ling Feng who was standing beside him and asked lightly.

"Master, except for the dozen or so who were going to accompany you, the rest have already left the sect." Ling Feng responded respectfully.

"Okay." Kui Nantian nodded slightly and said:

"Go and inform them right now, and follow me in half an hour."

Ling Feng hesitated and asked:

"Master, are we really not coming back?"

Quenantian sneered:

"Hmph, what are you doing back now? Ever since Dao Wusheng and Wan Qiu from the White Bone Palace left the sect, no one has been killed in my Ten Thousand Corpse Cave."

"I summoned the White Bone Demon Princess and confronted her in front of Zuo Qishan, but she claimed she had investigated the female cultivator named Wan Qiu and found nothing unusual. She also didn't know why these two had left the sect."

"It's obvious that the Bone Demon Princess has already colluded with outsiders, but that old man Zuo Qishan is still wavering and refusing to take sides."

"If we, the lineage of the Ten Thousand Corpses Cave, continue to stay within the Thousand Puppet Sect, I'm afraid we will be devoured by the lineage of the White Bone Palace in collusion with outsiders. It would be better for us to find a new mountain gate and seek other development."

"Master is wise." Ling Feng smiled apologetically and nodded without saying anything else.

It’s not that he was reluctant to leave this place, but he was mainly worried about his sister Ling Yue.

She was deeply in love with Dao Wusheng, and he couldn't bear to tell her that Dao Wusheng might not be a member of Qiankuimen and had already escaped.

If she knew that she would never come back after leaving the sect this time, she would probably cry and make a fuss, asking to go back to Qianguimen.

……

morning.

An alley in the southeast corner of Sanxi Town.

"Master, Uncle, this should be it."

At the end of the alley, Chu Xing led the two girls Hong'e straight to a coffin shop.

Before this, they did not find anyone at Wan Shankong's residence. Later, they learned from Lan Qin that the people from the eight major immortal sects had already followed Jiang Lihuo to Sanxi Town, so they had to come here to find him.

The three of them walked into the coffin shop.

The shop was cramped and small. Inside, there was a counter and a black coffin, leaving only a gap wide enough for one person to pass through.

Behind the shop was a small courtyard with two simple houses and coffins neatly placed on the open space.

"Who are you?"

The thin middle-aged man behind the counter looked at the three people with a serious expression.

Chu Xing smiled and waved at him:

"Don't be nervous, we are family. You should be a member of the Liyang Guard under the command of the eldest princess, right? I know your princess."

Hearing this, the thin middle-aged man finally let down his guard and nodded and replied:

"Exactly. I wonder what brings you here?"

Chu Xingdao:

"Looking for someone, is Wan Shankong in there?"

The thin middle-aged man looked confused:

"I'm sorry, I don't know Wan Shankong."

"Forget it, I'd better contact the person myself and ask."

Chu Xing picked up the jade talisman for a moment, then sent a message to Wang Hun Tian.

He only "added" the messages from Wang Huntian and Jiang Lihuo. Since the two beauties Hong'e were here, it would be better not to let Jiang Lihuo know that he was here.

Soon, there was a noise in the courtyard, and the lid of one of the coffins was pushed open from the inside.

Wang Huntian stepped out of the coffin, his face filled with a warm smile, and came to the three people:

"Haha, my nephew is here."

Chu Xing was suspicious, not knowing why this old man was so enthusiastic. He should still be angry with him.

But he responded with a bright smile on his face:

"Why don't you just give me a reply, Uncle? Why bother coming here in person?"
