If the previous two methods of blaming Xiao Zijin can be regarded as clever, then it can only be said that the perpetrators did have some methods. After all, the scene at the crime scene was extremely chaotic, and various clues were intertwined, making it dazzling. However, all the evidence only inferred from some vague characteristics that Xiao Zijin was related to this matter.
The success of these two cases is that they successfully diverted Xiao Zijin's attention and aroused Xiao Zijin's anger. Now, Xiao Zijin has sent a large number of Sigumen disciples in Lianzhou to investigate the matter. However, since this is someone else's territory, their investigation work did not go smoothly and the results were not ideal.
At the same time, the three of them in the crowd, Ji Hanfo, Bai Jiangquai, and Shi Shui, who had just arrived at the Lotus Realm, looked at each other, but they had a faint sense of uneasiness about this series of events. They felt that this matter seemed to be far more than just as simple as it seemed, and it was not just as simple as blaming Xiao Zijin.
You must know that destroying Xiao Zijin is actually equivalent to destroying the entire Sigu Gate. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Si Gumen.
And after the three of them arrived at the Lotus Realm, they heard about those murders. Although all the signs of these murders are faintly pointing to Xiao Zijin, there is a lack of substantive evidence after all. Moreover, they really know Xiao Zijin too well, even if his current personality has become a little radical and paranoid, but this kind of extremely destructive venting behavior is really not something Xiao Zijin can do.
Of course, they came to the Lotus Realm this time to confirm another more important thing.
However, what is unexpected is that not long after, a sudden case was like a loud slap in the face, slapping Ji Hanfo and the other three in the face. This case not only denied their speculation, but also confirmed Xiao Zijin's crimes.
The modus operandi of this case seems to be a careless ridicule, as if it is a provocation and teasing of Xiao Zijin. The existence of this technique is undoubtedly a great insult to Xiao Zijin and completely angered her.
The location of this case turned out to be the most famous "Lianyu Bridge" in the Lotus Realm. This stone bridge is made of white white marble, and the bridge deck is as wide as three zhang and as long as ten zhang. On the bridge body, exquisite lotus patterns are carved, and these lotus flowers are lifelike, as if swaying gently in the breeze. This bridge is not only a landmark building in Lianjing, but also an indispensable part of the daily life of the people of Lianjing.
However, one early morning, when the early risers were preparing to cross the bridge as usual, they were surprised to find that the stone bridge was cut off by a powerful sword energy overnight! The stone bridge, which was originally extremely strong, was now broken into two pieces, and the lotus pattern at the break was also blurred by the sword energy, as if it had been torn apart by a ferocious giant beast.
What is even more shocking is that in the lotus pond under the bridge, the lotus flowers that were originally in full bloom are now blooming wantonly like an overwhelming picture. However, these beautiful flowers could not hide the destruction caused by that powerful sword energy. Even the weeping willow by the pool was swept away by the sword energy, and the willow leaves fell one after another, landing on the petals. And these seemingly weak willow leaves, the moment they touched the petals, were cut into pieces by the invisible energy, as if they were being chopped by an invisible sharp blade.
The most jaw-dropping thing is that on the stone face of the broken bridge, someone actually carved four poems with sword energy: "The broken army sword rises and the lotus opens, and the master of the sect comes to step on the wind. If you ask where this body goes, look for the remains in the depths of the lotus pond."
These four poems were like thunder, exploding in the crowd of onlookers. Everyone looked at each other and talked about it for a while. I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Isn't the 'Broken Army Sword' in this poem the sword of Master Xiao? Is it really Xiao Zijin's doing?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and the voices of speculation, doubt, and anger suddenly came one after another. People exchanged ears and pointed at Xiao Zijin, and all kinds of gossip surged in like a tide.
After Xiao Zijin learned about Lianyu Bridge, he was so angry that he trembled. He couldn't tolerate such slander and slander, and finally couldn't hold back and rushed to the scene in person.
When he stood on the broken bridge and stared at the four poems, an indescribable guess welled up in his heart. Every word in this poem seemed to imply something, making him feel an inexplicable fear and uneasiness.
"This murderer did it on purpose!" Xiao Zijin was furious, he slammed his fist on the bridge wall, only to hear a loud "boom", and the wreckage on the bridge wall was shaken down one after another, falling to the ground like raindrops.
"Who dares to blame me, I will definitely tear him to pieces!" Xiao Zijin gritted his teeth and said, his eyes flashing with anger.
Xiao Zijin's eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet, staring at the poem in front of him, as if he wanted to see through these words that the person was hidden behind him. At this moment, his heart seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, trembling uncontrollably.
This poem is undoubtedly a naked provocation. But what frightened him even more was that these words were so obviously imitating his handwriting. In this world, a person who can imitate other people's handwriting with a sword and can achieve 80% similarity must be someone who is close to him and extremely familiar with him.
The last sentence of the poem seems to hide a mystery, and the more Xiao Zijin thinks about it, the more he feels that there must be a deep meaning in it. This person who was hiding in the shadows and deliberately blamed him obviously guessed some key information.
Xiao Zijin's mind quickly flashed the figures of Ji Hanfo and others. However, with Ji Hanfo's swordsmanship level, it is impossible to reach such a superb level. So, who exactly is it?
"Who is it? Who is it?" Xiao Zijin's roar echoed in the rain, and his voice was full of anger and despair. He suddenly pulled out his broken army sword, and as if he were crazy, he slashed frantically at the four lines of poetry.
In the rain, the rain poured down like a ladle, wetting his hair, and the water droplets slid down his cheeks, intertwining with his sweat. However, he no longer had time to take care of this, and only had a desire for truth and resentment towards the mastermind behind it.
The crowd of onlookers was frightened by Xiao Zijin's actions and panicked, and fled in all directions, for fear of being affected by his sword energy. In the blink of an eye, the originally noisy scene became empty, leaving only a lonely purple figure, which looked particularly desolate in the rain.
