thousand words

"Senior brother Huo Bai... he seems to be dead!"

Qian Yuhan was startled, let go of Baili Mingyan and hurriedly said to the little disciple: "Look at him for me first." After speaking, he squeezed in, leaving the little disciple alone to stare at Baili Mingyan in a daze.

In the middle of the crowd, the person lying on the ground was Huo Bai, his pale face had already lost his vitality, and beside him there was a person squatting and standing.The squatting Qian Yuhan took a glance and knew it was Huo Yunqi, while the standing Qian Yuhan had never seen him before, but his clothes looked familiar. After thinking about it, he remembered that this person had met Huo Yunqi on the stage just now. Qian Yuhan only saw the person who was fighting from a distance just now, so he didn't see their appearance very clearly.

Seeing that it was Qian Yuhan who came, the disciples of the Huo family didn't stop him, so they let him squat down beside their young master.In fact, they are close to Qian Yuhan in their hearts. This person who has lived and died with the young master even agrees with the young master, so there must be something worthy of admiration. Qian Yuhan is like his own brother, and he can help the young master once in a while. .Therefore, seeing Qian Yuhan at this moment, they also depended on this person in their hearts.

"Yun Qi, let me see."

Hearing the sound, Huo Yunqi turned his head slowly, and Qian Yuhan's heart felt cold when he saw his bloodshot eyes.

He patted Huo Yunqi on the shoulder, then bent down to feel Huo Bai's breath, as expected, Huo Bai's breath had already been cut off, and when he tried to feel his pulse, it was the same without ups and downs.

There is no suspense, Huo Bai is dead at this time.

Qian Yuhan turned his head to look at Huo Yunqi, and said in a deep voice, "He is already dead."

Huo Yunqi didn't reply immediately, he squatted like a stone statue, and after a long time suddenly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I know."

"I just kicked him off the stage while he was distracted. I didn't expect him to be so easy to fall." At this moment, the standing person suddenly spoke. He spoke very fast, as if eager to prove that he did not kill.

Qian Yuhan didn't speak, he leaned over to check Huo Bai's eyeballs and mouth, after a while Qian Yuhan raised his head and said: "It should be poisoned."

Huo Yunqi sighed softly and got up abruptly. At this moment, there was a cry from the crowd, and then the crowd was pushed away. A woman rushed forward and hugged Huo Bai, who was already frozen and cold, crying: "Xiaobai!" , Xiaobai... My son, wake up! Wake up..."

The woman's heart-piercing cries made all the disciples of the Huo family present look sideways and cover their faces, and couldn't bear to watch any longer. Finally, Huo Yunqi stepped forward and patted the woman on the shoulder and said, "Madam's condolences."

Unexpectedly, the woman raised her hand to open Huo Yunqi's hand, raised her tear-stained face and said angrily, "Huo Yunqi! If it weren't for you, Huo Bai wouldn't have participated in the martial arts conference at such a young age! What do you mean he has talent?" , martial arts attainments are far beyond those of your peers... What about now? Look, he's gone..."

The woman couldn't help crying, her trembling shoulders looked so thin, Huo Yunqi opened his mouth but found that he had nothing to say, no amount of words of comfort would be powerless in front of the mother who lost her son.

"Mrs. Huo, if my prediction is correct, your son should not have died in the ring."

Mrs. Huo suddenly raised her head, but what she saw was a strange young man. This man had an extraordinary appearance, but she had never seen him before in Huo's house.

"you are?"

"Junior Qian Yuhan."

"Qian Yuhan..." Mrs. Huo frowned slightly and said, "Is that Qian Yuhan?"

"Thousands of families in Yishui." Qian Yuhan explained.

Mrs. Huo seemed to be trying to suppress her collapsed emotions, and said slowly: "What do you mean by what you just said?"

Qian Yuhan calmly said: "Huo Bai's face is pale, the base of his tongue is black, and his pupils are constricted. This is mostly a sign of poisoning. However, the opponent just now made a rhythm that disturbs the power of the spirit, and the last blow was just an ordinary fist and kick. It has nothing to do with it. Therefore, Huo Bai's death was outside the scope of casualties allowed by the martial arts conference, and someone should be held responsible."

Qian Yuhan's words were extremely careful, Mrs. Huo didn't hear what he meant, but Huo Yunqi did: "You mean someone murdered Huo Bai?"

"What?!" Mrs. Huo was shocked, her legs went limp and she sat down on the ground, her gaze lost for a long time and she was speechless.

Qian Yuhan nodded: "Not bad."

At this time, all the patriarchs on the attic of Cangyun Palace had heard the news, and Mrs. Huo rushed to cry when she saw Huo Ying.Huo Bai lost his father since childhood and was brought up by his mother Han Xin. Huo Ying understood Mrs. Huo's heart-wrenching grief at this time, so she comforted Mrs. Huo in a low voice.Then Huo Ying told everyone that the martial arts conference was suspended, and Huo Bai's case needed to be investigated in detail.

Qian Yuhan withdrew from the crowd, and went to look for Baili Mingyan, but found that he had long since disappeared, probably taken away by Baili's family, but when he was about to leave, he saw a man in Tsing Yi standing beside him, who was the one who challenged Huo Bai just now Xiao Jinle.

Qian Yuhan walked over, Xiao Jinle smiled at Qian Yuhan after seeing it.

Qian Yuhan was stunned for a moment and then smiled back, and said slowly: "Which expert is Xiongtai?"

"An expert is not counted, Xiao Jinle is just a musician in Qijue Villa."

Qian Yuhan frowned slightly, subconsciously thinking that Huo Bai's death might have nothing to do with this person.Qian Yuhan smiled calmly: "From Qijue Villa, there is no one who is not an expert."

"Thousands of Heroes have won the prize."

"Oh, you know who I am."

Xiao Jinle said with a smile: "No one in the Jianghu knows Qianyu Hanqian."

Qian Yuhan said indifferently: "It's one thing to know, but another thing to be able to recognize me."

Xiao Jinle was startled suddenly, and unconsciously put his hand on the jade flute at his waist, then put it down again suddenly, and said with a slight smile: "I have admired the demeanor of a thousand heroes at the martial arts conference many years ago, such a demeanor The demeanor at a glance is unforgettable for a lifetime."

"Thank you, thank you." Qian Yuhan already understood in his heart at this time, so he didn't stay any longer. "Xiao Daxia, then I will take my leave first, and I will have a chance to learn from each other in the future."

Xiao Jinle clasped his hands: "Looking forward to Qian Hero's guidance."

Looking at Qian Yuhan's leaving back, Xiao Jinle raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

At night, the Cangyun Terrace was already empty, but the nearby Cangyun Palace was brightly lit.

Cangyun Hall has always been the gathering place of various sects and sects during martial arts conferences. At this time, sitting in the middle of the hall is Huo Ying, the highest status among the four famous sects.Although Qian Xingyun is the leader of the martial arts alliance, he is young after all, and he still has to respect Huo Ying three points in terms of seniority, so whenever Huo Ying is present, Qian Xingyun will push him to be the leader.

On both sides of Huo Ying were Leng Qingjie, one of the other three patriarchs and one of the adjudicators. Sitting further down were the patriarchs of various factions who participated in the martial arts conference, and they were all members of the martial arts alliance.At this moment, their expressions were serious, as if a string was stretched in the air, which would break if they were not careful.

Huo Ying broke the silence: "Patriarchs, I won't say too many polite words. The main purpose of gathering here tonight is to focus on Huo Bai's murder."

"Patriarch Huo, this is not right. Now that everything is still undecided, how can it be said that it was murder?" The person who spoke was Duanmu Hong, the Patriarch of Yunxi Duanmu Family.

Since the head of the Mu family disappeared for no reason ten years ago, Duan Muhong has worked very hard to temporarily take over the position of the head of the family. He is in the prime of his life, but his face has shown fatigue.

Hearing this, Qian Xingyun said slowly: "Huo Bai died of poisoning, this alone can be concluded as murder."

Bai Lichen continued: "If the death in battle is naturally within the allowable range of the martial arts conference, but this situation obviously has other reasons, which will damage the reputation of the martial arts conference, and must be thoroughly investigated."

Hearing the word 'reputation', Qian Xingyun couldn't help but frowned, and said instead: "As far as we are concerned, we don't have many clues."

Huo Yinglue pondered for a moment and continued, "Can you find out what kind of poison this is?"

As for poison, everyone turned their attention to Bailichen, but Bailichen shook his head: "This kind of poison looks very ordinary, nothing special... It can be said that hundreds of kinds of poison are in this state. Therefore, it is impossible to identify it at all, and it is impossible to say where the poison came from..."

Huo Ying's brows wrinkled into a Sichuan shape tightened even more, as if he was hesitating about what to say, at this moment Qian Xingyun suddenly asked: "Who is that Xiao Jinle?"

Bai Lichen was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "He is an ordinary disciple under my sect, Huo Bai's poisoning should have nothing to do with him."

Qian Xingyun was noncommittal, and instead asked Duanmuhong: "The Duanmu family has always been good at rhythm, do you have any insights?"

Duan Muhong thought for a while and said slowly: "The music played by Xiao Jinle does have the power to disturb people's minds, but it is just a piece of music, and it will not cause poisoning anyway..."

Hearing this, Bailichen suddenly sneered: "Is the leader of the Qian League doubting the Baili family?"

Qian Xingyun said indifferently: "It's just analyzing all the possibilities."

Bai Lichen said loudly: "Then I can tell everyone that Xiao Jinle is not a murderer, and he will definitely not be able to do poison killing with just the sound of music."

After hearing Baili Chen's words, everyone in the hall fell silent.Huo Bai's death seemed to be an unsolvable mystery, as if a ghost hand suddenly protruding from hell grabbed his soul and killed him without anyone being aware of it.

In just over three hours from Huo Bai's sudden death to now, not only the four famous sects, but also all sects present at that time secretly sent people to investigate the matter, but there was no clue, maybe the time was too short, Perhaps the murderer was too cunning and could escape in just two or three hours.

"Of course you can't do poison killing with music alone, but using music to control Gu killing is more than enough."

The silence in the hall was suddenly broken by a hoarse voice. Everyone looked for the sound, but saw a person suddenly appearing at the gate of Cangyun Hall.

The visitor was dressed in white and wore a white hat. The white mask under the white gauze of the hat could be vaguely seen. The two crescent-shaped eyes looked slightly piercing, and the bloody pattern on the right side of the mask was particularly eye-catching.

"All the Patriarchs just said that music can't poison people, so what if this person is not poisoned but a Gu?"

While speaking, the masked man had already walked in, and was stopped by a figure after walking a few steps.Huo Yunqi originally stood silently behind Huo Ying, but when he saw the masked man appearing, he immediately became vigilant. When he saw the masked man approaching, he stepped forward and stopped him first.

Almost at the same time when Huo Yunqi stopped the masked man, two white-clothed men suddenly appeared in front of the masked man, but before that, Huo Yunqi hadn't noticed the existence of these two people at all.

Seeing the two men in white also wearing masks with white crescent eyes, some people in the hall stood up abruptly. They were clearly the heads of families of various sects, but their faces were full of disbelief at this moment. The strange look on his face completely disappeared the calmness and composure of the Patriarch.

Finally, one person couldn't help but said: "It's the white envoy of Qianji Pavilion!"

At this time, everyone in the hall had a word in their minds: Is that person the Qianmianhu, the owner of the Qianji Pavilion? !

As if answering their inner questions, the man in white wearing a hat gently pushed away the two white envoys standing in front of him, directly ignoring Huo Yunqi and took a step forward: "The next Qianji Pavilion Master, Qianji Face Fox."
