Riding the Pheonix Chapter 526: Puzzle

Mingwei was in a hurry to leave the city because he wanted to rescue Xuanfei.

Now that things are like this, there is no point in going, we can only go back first.

Jiang Wenfeng assured her: "Don't worry, girl, I will find out the truth and I will not let the Imperial Master be wronged."

Ming Wei naturally believed him and warned: "When it comes to Xuanmen, Master Jiang must pay attention to safety, and it is best to stay with Lei Guard."

Jiang Wenfeng smiled and said: "Is it serious? I am an official of the imperial court. The murderer cannot be an enemy of the imperial court, right?"

Ming Wei said: "Of course orthodox Xuanmen will not do that. They are in the world of mortals, and they want the government to turn a blind eye. But if they are Xuanmen masters without any sect, that may not be the case. Those who are strong enough , you can completely regard the law as nothing."

Seeing how solemn she was, Jiang Wenfeng stopped smiling: "Okay, I listen to Miss Ming."

Ming smiled: "Then I won't delay Mr. Jiang's official business. If there is an opportunity, please ask Mr. Jiang to find a way to involve me in this case."

Jiang Wenfeng nodded: "This is not difficult. This case has a Xuanmen background, and we have cooperated before. As long as the Holy One does not object, we can ask for your help."

The two agreed that Jiang Wenfeng would go out of the city to the murder scene.

Mingwei returned to Ji's house, pretended to have just woken up, had breakfast, and then went out.

She and Yang Shu had made an appointment before. When they met at the city gate, they still went to Xuandu to watch.

Only this time, it’s not to see Xuan Fei, but to see Ning Xiu.

"Senior brother!"

The sun has just risen, and under the faint golden light, Ning Xiu stands on the rock with fluttering clothes, like an immortal.

Seeing them coming, Ning Xiu only glanced at them and turned back.

Yang Shu jumped up and asked him: "Brother, what are you doing here?"

Ning Xiu pointed to the carvings on the rock and said, "This is master's handwriting."

Yang Shu was confused.

He knows this! This place can see the first ray of rising sunlight. When he first taught him swordsmanship, the old Taoist sat here almost every day.

What was written on the rock was a Taoist formula, and he had already memorized it by heart.

"It was the old man who carved it, what happened?"

Ning Xiu said: "Stand away a little."

Yang Shu was confused, but he still did it.

Then he saw Ning Xiu sitting cross-legged, blocking out most of the sunlight just like he did when practicing Qi in the past.

Yang Shu looked left and right, but didn't understand.

But Mingwei below saw the main point: "Look at those words."

Yang Shu cast his gaze over, and saw thin and dense sunlight shining on the stone wall. Some traces were faint and could not be seen, while others were more distinct.

"Stone... in... Sutra?"

Ning Xiu nodded gently and stood up again.

"Senior Brother, do you suspect what Master wants to convey?"

"Yeah."

"Can't you?" Yang Shu said with a smile, "When it comes to carving, it's normal to have different depths and shallower characters. Maybe it's because these characters are carved with more force?"

Ning Xiu shook his head: "You spend very little time with Master, so you don't know his habits. Master likes to be mysterious. He often creates riddles for me to guess, and even breaks up the skills and hides them somewhere. , give me clues and ask me to find them myself."

"That's it!" Yang Shu thought for a while, "But there are only three words, how can you guess this?"

He had an idea: "The Scripture in the Stone, is there something hidden in this stone?"

Ning Xiu looked at him like an idiot.

"What are you doing?" Yang Shu was dissatisfied with his contemptuous gaze, "Doesn't my guess make sense?"

Ning Xiu raised his chin: "This is a huge boulder, tell me where to hide it?"

"Huh?" Yang Shu looked up and down, "Is there no mechanism or something?"

"I have been looking for several days. If you can find it, please help me."

After Ning Xiu finished speaking, he jumped off the rock and went into the house to cook.

Xuan Du Guan treats him well. Every day, people come to carry water and do chores, and vegetables are also delivered. But when it comes to things, Ning Xiu prefers to do it himself.

Mr. Ning, who is full of fairy spirit, cooks as if he were walking on clouds and flowing water. He is surrounded by the fireworks of the world, but he is not stained by the dust.

By the time he finished cooking, Yang Shu and Ming Wei had already checked the entire rock to make sure there were no traps.

"Let's eat." Ning Xiu said.

The two of them could only give up and go inside to eat.

"How could it not be there?" Yang Shu still didn't believe it, "There is such a big rock nearby, where else can you point to?"

Mingwei was worried about Xuanfei's incident, so he asked Ning Xiu: "Sir, have you heard about the murder case in Xuandu Temple?"

"Yes." Ning Xiu responded calmly.

"Do you know what's going on?"

Ning Xiu finished his meal and put down his chopsticks before saying: "A while ago, Xuan Fei aggressively eliminated dissidents, which made some elders dissatisfied with him. Now the Xuandu Temple is divided into two factions. One faction believes that Yu Yang was killed by himself. The other faction believes that he was wronged. Both sides insist on their own opinions. It is estimated that there will be no result and they can only wait for the court to intervene."

Mingwei asked him: "Sir, do you think Xuan Fei killed him?"

Ning Xiu shook his head: "I don't know."

"You have known Xuanfei for a long time, right? You should have a good understanding of his temperament."

Ning Xiu said: "In my personal opinion, the possibility of Xuan Fei taking action is very small. He has firmly established himself as the master of the temple, and it is time to show off his ambitions. Yuyang is at a disadvantage and can no longer be called an opponent. . It’s not worth losing yourself for such a person.”

Mingwei couldn't help but nod. The Xuanfei she knew was also such a person. He is very calm and good at weighing the pros and cons. He is not someone who kills people impulsively and would not do such a thing that would outweigh the gains and losses.

"Unless," Ning Xiu added, "if we don't kill Yuyang, there will be a greater crisis and he will take risks."

"Is there something wrong with the relic of Imperial Master Xu Xing?" Mingwei sighed, "It's a pity that I can't see Xuan Fei now ~ IndoMTL.com ~ can't learn the truth from him. Sir..."

Before she could say anything, Ning Xiu already knew what she wanted to say, and said: "I advise you not to. Xuanfei is now imprisoned in the Merit Tower, and the elders of Xuandu Temple are confronting each other on the platform outside. , there are so many masters, we can’t break in silently."

Okay...

"We can't meet in private. We have to wait for the news from Mr. Jiang." Mingwei murmured.

Having said that, Ning Xiu still took them to Xuandu in the afternoon to check out the news.

When Ji Xiaowu heard that she was coming, he ran over anxiously: "Ancestor! Don't get involved in this!"

Ming smiled: "How did my cousin know that I wanted to get involved?"

Ji Xiaowu said disdainfully: "You just like to meddle in other people's business. What's more, the Imperial Preceptor still has an old relationship with you."

Yang Shu asked, "Why does this sound wrong to me? Hey, you told her to leave it alone, do you know the inside story?"

Ji Xiaowu said: "My master is at the Taoist platform, and now the problem is big. Some people are using this matter to challenge the Imperial Master. If one of them fails, Xuandu Temple will fall apart."

Ming Wei was surprised: "Xuan Fei's popularity is so bad? Isn't he a good dancer?"

"It's better to say that the benefits are impressive." Ji Xiaowu whispered, "I heard that the relic of Imperial Master Xuxing is actually the treasure of Xuandu Temple to suppress the sect. Whoever can get it will become the best in the world. A mysterious scholar."

Huh?

After revealing this inside information, Ji Xiaowu said: "I have to go back immediately in case a fight breaks out so that I can help my master."

"How can you help?" Mingwei expressed distrust in his skills.

"I can help Master wave the flag and shout!" Ji Xiaowu said matter-of-factly, and ran away in a hurry.
