sin of nature

"Thank you God for your concern, I am alive for now."

Shenjun Luohui still did not back down, "I don't care how you live until now, but you haven't returned to the God Realm these years, and you have long been able to interfere in all kinds of incidents here."

Qingyuan Shenjun also persuaded, "Xiao Ming, don't fight against the God Realm."

Hearing this, Xiao Ming's gaze sharpened immediately, and he said very bluntly, "Why do I want to seek justice for Master Huan Shui, but I want to go against the God Realm? Qingyuan Shenjun's words are too serious."

"That's not what I meant—" she quickly explained.

The Fengying Shenjun at the side immediately interrupted her, "You released Jin Buhuan privately, and what are you talking about to seek justice? If we hadn't come quickly, who would have known that you would not have taken him and fled immediately?" He continued to look at To the side who was still asleep, Huan Li raised his hand and pointed, "There is also him, he must be yours, right? Otherwise, how can you explain the half of your god bone on him? Have you forgotten that self-destruction is a serious crime for gods?" .......This is the rule set by Lord Chongwu back then."

Hearing this name, Xiao Ming's face suddenly became ugly, he squeezed the sword around his waist, and said, "How many people have to stand here and talk nonsense? What Master Huan Shui and I are asking is very simple, but to re-examine who It is not too much to judge the condition of the dead god, if you are so secretive, don't you have a ghost in your heart who wants to blame others?"

Fengying retorted, "It was that kid first, then you, you broke the rules first, and now you are calling for justice?"

Xiao Ming said in a deep voice, "Even so, then draw your sword. If you don't agree to re-investigate this matter, I will fight with you to the end, and then I will investigate it myself."

Jin Buhuan grabbed the corner of Xiao Ming's clothes with a serious face, and said in a low voice, "Master Ming Shui...don't confront them—you will get hurt. If they don't agree, I will wait for you." So, once Emperor Kaiyang comes back, he will not fail to check for me again."

The silver sword light flashed in front of everyone, Xiao Ming raised his hand and pushed Jin Buhuan back.

Fengying yelled, "Who do you think you can beat now?" Then he straightened his sword and stabbed at him——

Xiao Ming also drew his sword, and went towards the opponent——

"呲-"

Between lightning and flint, a dazzling silver light flashed in front of everyone.

The light burst out from the intersecting blades of the two, Xiao Ming felt that the sword was lifted away with a light touch in his hand, and a bright white flower stimulated by the strong light appeared in front of his eyes.

The rest were the same, dazed by the silver light.

"Emperor Kaiyang?" Jin Buhuan who was standing behind Xiao Ming called out in disbelief.

Xiao Ming took a closer look, and the silver light gradually dissipated. The person standing in the light was wearing a golden robe. He had a pair of raised red phoenix eyes, a straight nose, and a snow-white complexion. Except for the eyes, he was very similar to the old man Chongwu, however, needs to be more elegant, so that he can feel kindness in his heart unconsciously.

Just now, in the blink of an eye, he was the one who swiped away the swords of the two of them.

Everyone also reacted from the brief dizziness, and bowed to him.

Emperor Kaiyang nodded towards them, then turned to Xiao Ming and Jin Buhuan.

His expression was very calm, neither as if he wanted to ask for guilt, nor as if he was surprised. He nodded slightly to Xiao Ming, and seemed to have some imperceptible joy, and said, "Xiao Ming, it's been a long time."

Xiao Ming was stunned, and bowed to salute, "The emperor has been away for a long time."

Those young gods were all winking at each other, their faces full of bewilderment about the current situation.

Feng Ying, who was still aggressive at first, suddenly froze, saluted respectfully, and immediately complained, "My lord, Xiao Ming entered the God Realm privately and released Jin Buhuan who killed Erwen, this—"

Emperor Kaiyang raised his left hand, stopped the other party's words, turned to Jin Buhuan without looking at him, "Huanshui, what trouble have you caused?"

When Jin Buhuan appeared from Emperor Kaiyang, he let go of his heart, and when he saw him asking about it, his stomach full of grievances burst out. "Dijun must not listen to their one-sided words. I have never done anything to Erwen! They threw me into prison indiscriminately and made public the entire God Realm. Please, Dijun, check it out for me .”

Shenjun Luohui immediately retorted, "You made a terrible mistake, and you dare to beat it back? You rely on—" Halfway through the sentence, the speaker swallowed it, and he glanced at it cautiously. Emperor Kaiyang did not dare to finish the rest of the sentence.

Emperor Kaiyang turned around and took a look at Luohui, and said like everyone else, "If Huanshui really killed Erwen, he would be punished severely, but if he misunderstood, wouldn't he be wronged? Killing a god is a serious crime. So hasty. Why don't you join me in thoroughly investigating this matter immediately before making a decision?"

Fengying said again, "But how should Xiao Ming and his people break into the God Realm privately? If they are not severely punished, similar situations may happen again."

Kai Yang glanced at him, and said, "The dead are the most important, let's deal with Erwen's matter first, and put the rest aside for the time being, and postpone the processing. Besides—" His red phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and added, "Xiao Ming has never been You have been expelled from the God Realm, so how can you talk about it privately?"

The expression on Fengying's face suddenly froze.

Emperor Kaiyang asked Luohui, "Where is Erwen's body?"

"It's still parked in his temple."

"Okay, then let's go and have a look together." Kai Yang turned to look at Xiao Ming, and said, "You come with us too."

Xiao Ming agreed, then turned around and wanted to carry Huang Li who was still in a coma.

Turning around, he realized that Jin Buhuan had already carried the person on his back, but he walked over on the ground, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.

Xiao Ming: "........I'll carry it on my back" It won't be good if the injury worsens after a fall.He added another sentence in his heart.

Jin Buhuan waved his hand, panting, and asked him, "Lord Ming Shui, where is that dog?"

Only then did Xiao Ming think of it, and looked around twice, but he didn't see where the dog was.

Inside the temple where Erwin's body was parked.

Erwen's corpse was lying flat on the bed. Another big difference between gods and humans was that if the god's corpse had not been damaged by external forces, it would basically remain intact for thousands of years.

Xiao Ming volunteered, "If no one wants to touch the corpse, Xiao Ming can do it for you."

Fengying immediately objected, "You want to erase the evidence of Jin Buhuan's murder—you are obviously from his side, how can you touch this corpse."

Jin Buhuan immediately became angry, "You keep saying that I killed him, do you have evidence?"

Fengying said loudly, "The strangle marks on Erwen's neck are the evidence! Who doesn't know that you are the only one with a soft whip in the entire God Realm? You were the last thing he saw before he died. After you left, within an hour he would Dead, isn’t that considered evidence?”

"you!"

Emperor Kaiyang saw that they were quarreling again, so he went to the bed by himself, checked the corpse, and Xiao Ming followed closely.

This is a young man's face, it looks as old as Huan Li and Kuang Yu, probably only one or two hundred years old, as a god, he is still underage.

But Xiao Ming always felt that this face was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't tell if he had seen it somewhere.

Looking down, all I could see was the bruises on the neck of the man on Erwin's bed. The groove was level and closed, and it was very even, basically ruling out the possibility of hanging.That is strangulation.

If someone else strangles him...

Xiao Ming looked around the hall, all the tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and there were no traces of fighting, could it be——

"Dijun, can I take off his clothes and check other places?"

Emperor Kaiyang nodded.

Xiao Ming offended the corpse, and then untied his belt.

He took off his outer robe, and then his middle coat, exposing the other party's chest.

"This is—" Xiao Ming subconsciously exclaimed, "Emperor, look!"

The eyes of the two of them followed his bruised and tear-stained neck down, and saw a round charm on his heart. It was a circle formed by countless small snakes intertwined, outlined with dark black lines, lifelike.

Xiao Ming got closer again, stretched out his hand and pulled his clothes apart, and suddenly found that there was a similar charm on his shoulder, but the color was a little lighter.

The name of the spell is Snakes Bite.

Wherever the spell strikes, there will be pain, and when it occurs, it is like ten thousand snakes biting the bone, and the pain is too painful.

This is a very dangerous evil spell, which is not common.

Xiao Ming also wanted to see if there were any on his body, so he took off the other party's clothes in twos and threes - only those two charms.

Just as Xiao Ming lowered his head and thought about the whole story, a few small things rolled out from the clothes that were taken off Erwen's body.

After a closer look, it turned out to be a few soybeans.

Xiao Ming squatted down and picked up one, brought it close to his eyes, and suddenly recalled the 'person from Xuanwu Pavilion' who suddenly attacked him in Feishuang City.

No wonder he found this face so familiar!It turned out to be him!

Turning around, he met Jin Buhuan's eyes, and the latter nodded to him as if he knew what he was going to say.

Emperor Kaiyang turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Have you reached a conclusion?"

Xiao Ming nodded, and said to the gods, "Erwen was not killed by Mr. Huanshui."

Everyone didn't speak, waiting for him to continue.

"Everyone, please look at the strangle marks on his neck. This is indeed the cause of his death. But he strangled himself to death with his own hands. Everyone should recognize the two curse marks on his heart and shoulders—in case Although you have little experience of the ferocity of the snake-biting bone seal, you should know it. Erwin strangled himself to death when the spell struck."

Another person immediately retorted, "How can you be sure that Huan Shui didn't strangle him to death when he was in a state of incantation?"

Xiao Ming immediately retorted, "No, you look at the hall, everything is neatly arranged, and there is no trace of fighting."

The man retorted, "Then can't he mess things up and put them back together?"

"Then may I ask, which god saw Lord Huanshui enter the Hall of Erwen?"

Among the gods, a young man who looked about the same age as Erwen raised his hand, "I saw it... At that time, I was waiting for Qingyuan Shenjun outside the temple. She had been coming for a long time, and I saw Huan Mr. Shui seems to be very fierce... entered the palace."

"Then did you notice how long he stayed?"

The young man frowned, tried to think back, and said, "It wasn't long, about half a stick of incense...Because I hadn't waited for Qingyuan Shenjun when he came out, so I remember."

Xiao Mingdao glanced at Jin Buhuan, and said earnestly: "Erwen's sword is still in hand, if he is attacked suddenly, he will not fail to draw it out to meet the opponent, the traces of fighting with the sword are impossible to disappear, and his body And there are no bump marks...Secondly, the time of half a stick of incense can't let Mr. Huanshui strangle Erwen to death-I know this very well, because he can't even carry an adult."

Jin Buhuan: "......." The suspicion is about to be cleared, but why is he a little bit unhappy.

As soon as the words fell, a female mountain god began to sob and cry.

"It's true...Erwen's shoulders have been uncomfortable for the past few days, and he didn't tell him what was going on...Look at the wound on his palm...it's his own pain It was drawn out when—"

Emperor Kaiyang nodded to her, looked at everyone, and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

Qingyuan Shenjun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "In this way, the strangle marks on Erwen's neck really have nothing to do with Huan Shui, it's all because of the person who cast the spell—how do you know that person is not Huan Shui? Erwen was young, but he just didn't get along with him."

Jin Buhuan was so angry that he was about to explode on the spot, jumped up, and shouted loudly, "I can't get along! If I can't get along, do I have to kill him? Why are you still biting me? Can you have proof for your empty guess? ?”

Qingyuan continued without changing her expression, "My palace is just behind Erwen, and when I met someone that day, I happened to pass by his palace. I clearly heard you accuse him of being unfavorable to Xiao Ming?"

Everyone immediately exploded and started discussing.

"Erwen doesn't even know who he is, so how can he be disadvantaged? Qingyuan Shenjun made a mistake?"

"But I think it's too hasty to make such a judgment? You can't just rely on Huanshui."

Jin Buhuan had a headache from the crowd's quarrel, so he drank loudly, and the crowd immediately calmed down.

"He is indeed against Lord Mingshui, what's wrong? What kind of evidence is this?"

Qingyuan Shenjun pressed on step by step, "The caster of the Ten Thousand Snake Bonebiting Curse will have a snake pattern on his arm, which circles all the way to his chest. Do you dare to show it for everyone to see?"

Xiao Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

All of this was too coincidental, it was clearly designed, why did he just catch him?

On the other side, Jin Buhuan casually untied his coat and jacket, "You can just look at it—"

Xiao Ming and Emperor Kaiyang stood behind Jin Buhuan, they couldn't see his appearance, but they could see everyone's expressions of astonishment.

"Oops"

Everyone's eyes fell on one place - a clear and small snake pattern hovering on Jin Buhuan's chest.
