Chapter 48 Seizing the Body
On New Year's Eve, Zhao Zhengben got together with several elders who had not yet retreated. During the banquet, Huang Xueping suddenly sighed deeply.
"Elder Huang, is something bothering you?"
Huang Xueping said silently for a while: "Actually, it's nothing. I just remembered that Tiantian was always there on New Year's Eve in previous years."
When Zhao Tiantian was mentioned, Zhao Zheng's expression became more solemn.
"She did something wrong, and she deserves to be punished."
"Indeed. I hope she can reflect carefully during this period." Huang Xueping looked out the window and said.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zheng suddenly noticed something and stood up suddenly.
Fei Yun asked: "What's wrong?"
"The barrier of Juebing Valley was broken. The traitor must have sneaked out."
Huang Xueping seemed a little unconvinced, "Did the Juebing Valley be attacked? Zhao Tiantian has always been in Juebing Valley. Stay safe."
Zhao Zheng said to the elders: "Everyone, wait here, I will go check it out first."
After saying that, Zhao Zheng wanted to go to Juebing Valley, but before he walked out, Zhao Tiantian's voice sounded at the door.
"Father."
Zhao Zheng was furious and cursed: "How dare you sneak back from Juebing Valley!"
After Zhao Tiantian entered the room, he knelt in the middle and said first: "My daughter escaped from Juebing Valley without permission and knew she was guilty. But everything about her daughter There is a reason for everything, please listen to what I have to say."
Huang Xueping looked at Zhao Zheng's furious look and advised, "Don't get angry yet, listen to what she said."
"Say it!" Zhao Zheng pointed at Zhao Tiantian.
Zhao Tiantian's face was solemn, with hatred in his eyes.
"I want to expose that Shi Ning has been snatched away, and now Shi Ning is a demon cultivator."
Mu Yue looked at Zhao Tiantian's expression from the side, Zhao Zheng slapped the table hard and said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
Zhao Tiantian swore and said: "If there is even half a lie in what I said, I will be punished by heaven and earth." Huang Xueping frowned and said, "Why do you swear such a poisonous oath during the New Year?" Zhao Tiantian gritted his teeth and said, "It is precisely because of the New Year
.
After that, Shi Ning will be twenty years old. I want to inform the elder about this. "
The original Shi Ning was killed a long time ago, and now the one in Sui Yuyuan is the one who took over."
"If this person really succeeds as the leader, it will bring disaster to the sect."
After tonight, the new year has begun. If Shi Ning's identity cannot be revealed at this moment, it will be too late later.
Mu Yue sneered and said, "How can you take it seriously if you have no proof?"
Zhao Tiantian said firmly: "Since Shi Ning woke up from a coma a few years ago, didn't the head elders notice that Shi Ning was different?"
"In the past, Shi Ning was different. What happened to Shi Ning now? Do the elders really have no doubts at all? "
" In the past, Shi Ning only had cultivation in his mind and refused to relax day and night. Now, he has no interest in cultivation, let alone any desire. "Inheriting the position of leader."
"In the past two years, his temperament has changed drastically. Can it be explained by just recovering from a serious illness?"
"Then what do you mean?" Mu Yue asked in a casual tone. Kill Shi Ning immediately?"
"I have no intention of doing so." Although Zhao Tiantian wished that Shi Ning would die immediately, he could not take action.
"It's okay to be suspicious, but you have to provide evidence." Ling Che, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said.
"I'm afraid it's hard to convince people just by a change in temperament."
Zhao Tiantian said: "I just think it's better to believe that it exists than to believe that it doesn't exist. Besides, matters involving the foundation of the sect should be taken seriously."
Zhao Tiantian: "Besides, it's far away It’s not just about temperament changes. None of the Foundation Establishment disciples passed the square formation training. Shi Ning was only at the second level of Qi Refining at that time. How could he pass it so easily? Isn’t it doubtful that he could get through it with a firm heart?
"Didn't Elder Huang have any confusion at that time? How could he have survived the formation so easily if his cultivation level hadn't exceeded that of Foundation Establishment?" Huang
Xueping thought a little but said nothing.
"Besides, Yi Ye's Heart Technique has been lost for many years. How come it happened to be found by Shi Ning when he went to Cangshan for the first time? And it was so easy to go from Qi refining to foundation building to the second level of foundation building. He even won the sect competition. "Senior Brother Chen Jichuan, who is about to reach the stage of elixir formation,"
"Unless his cultivation is much higher than this, how can he do it?" Zhao Tiantian said in one breath the confusion he had felt during this period.
Mu Yue chuckled softly and said: "I thought you were seriously reflecting on the murder of your fellow sect members in Juebing Valley and turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window. I didn't expect that you actually knew everything about the sect's affairs. It's really hard for you."
Zhao Tiantian quibbled. : "I also noticed something was wrong with Shi Ning that day in the Valley of Beasts and wanted to test him. He had no intention of harming his fellow disciples."
Fei Yun frowned and had nothing to say about Zhao Tiantian's words. Said: "I thought you would calm down and think about it, but I didn't expect that you didn't repent."
Zhao Tiantian knelt on the ground and said stubbornly: "Elder Feiyun and Elder Kong Zhi are good friends, so naturally they have to protect Elder Kong's only disciple, but It's a pity that the elder protected the wrong person and all his efforts were in vain."
Ling Che asked, "What do you want?"
"It's better to search for spiritual consciousness to prove innocence."
"It would be good if Shi Ning is not the one who took the body. Take this opportunity to prove your innocence."
Mu Yue snorted, "It's easy for you to say, it's very painful for the person who is being searched little by little to search for the future leader's successor. Man, what are your intentions?"
Zhao Tiantian said, "I only want the sect to be safe, and I don't want the demon cultivator to cause chaos."
Zhao Zheng looked serious, and Huang Xueping sighed, "Why don't you call Shi Ning and ask? , It will also prove the child's innocence. Otherwise, the rumors may not be suppressed."
"After all, what do you think?"
Elder Mingjian said. "
At dawn, everyone in Sui Yuyuan dispersed. Ning lay down early because he had a few drinks. All the spirit beasts in the house fell asleep soundly. Jing Li was in the courtyard, looking at the bright crescent moon. The black dragon's figure gradually faded away, revealing its human form.
Jing Li was wearing a black robe, and her ink-like hair was pulled up high by a snow-white hair tie. Under the illumination of the moonlight, the golden vertical pupils looked even more mysterious and strange, and the whole person revealed a bit of inaccessible alienation.
Finally able to transform into a human form, Jing Li sighed as he looked into the distance.
But this sigh didn't last long before it was interrupted by someone coming from a distance.
Fei Yun and Huang Xueping.
Why are you here now? Jing Li hid in the courtyard, wanting to see what was going on.
Feiyun knocked on the door and sent a message to the house.
"Shi Ning, are you asleep?"
Shi Ning seemed to be sleeping deeply and did not hear Fei Yun's voice.
But Shan Nai reacted immediately and pushed Shi Ning with his paw.
"Ning Ning, someone is calling you."
Shi Ning hid her head in the quilt and refused to get up.
Jing Li listened to the conversation between Feiyun and Huang Xueping at the door.
"Gu Chong, Yan Huanming and others were with them on New Year's Eve. I'm afraid Shi Ning had too much fun and fell asleep now." Fei Yun said softly.
Huang Xueping: "But you don't have to shout. After all, it
's a big deal." "Seizing
someone's body is not a trivial matter." Jing Li listened to the conversation between the two in the yard and thought about the word "seizing someone's body" carefully.
And Shi Ning in the house was also under the mountain tree, getting up sleepily.
"I'm here, who is it?" Shi Ning shouted outside the house.
"Fei Yun, Huang Xueping."
Shi Ning rubbed his eyes, gradually regaining consciousness, and looked out the window. It was still dark. Why did the two elders suddenly come here at this time?
Shi Ning put on his clothes and walked out, "Here we come."
Huang Xueping and Fei Yun both looked at him seriously at the door, and Shi Ning suddenly had a bad feeling.
"The two elders suddenly came to visit. Is there something important?"
Huang Xueping and Fei Yun looked at each other, but neither of them spoke first. In the end, it was Fei Yun who said, "The master has something to do."
"You come with me. "
Shi Ning snorted and asked, "What's going on?"
Huang Xueping said, "You'll know when you get there."
Shi Ning looked at Fei Yun and said softly, "Okay."
Shan Nai also wanted to follow. When they went together, they were stopped by Fei Yun.
"Just don't go."
Shan Nai said unhappily: "Why can't I go?"
"It's a secret of the sect, it's not appropriate for you to go." Huang Xueping explained.
When Shi Ning heard the words sect secret, he couldn't help but wonder what sect secret could be in the early morning of New Year's Day.
Shi Ning said to Shan Nai: "Wait for me here." Then his mind began to think about what sect secrets were.
The position of leader or something related to yourself?
Shi Ning had a vague suspicion. He held Wen Feng Teng tightly in his hand and thought about what kind of scene he would face later.
As soon as he stepped into Zhao Zheng's courtyard, Shi Ning saw Zhao Tiantian kneeling on the ground.
As soon as he saw Zhao Tiantian, Shi Ning knew that something was definitely up to him.
After meeting the elders one by one, Shi Ning preemptively said to Zhao Tiantian: "Farewell to the Valley of Beasts, I haven't seen my senior sister for a long time. I thought it would be decades before I see my senior sister again, but I didn't expect to meet again in just a few months." After saying that, Shi Ning looked at Zhao Zheng and smiled lightly.
Zhao Zheng looked embarrassed, "This woman should be imprisoned in Juebing Valley for ten years. Unexpectedly, she suddenly escaped tonight."
"So Senior Sister, did you think that there would be any change in the incident in the Valley of Beasts?"
Shi Ning said. To a certain extent, that's true. After all, Zhao Tiantian did quibble like this.
Zhao Tiantian glanced sideways at Shi Ning and said, "Junior sister, I can't compare to my clever words and charming words."
"But I only know that black cannot be said to be white, and white cannot be said to be black."
Shi Ning said. He said, "So Senior Sister is saying that there was another truth about the Valley of Beasts?"
Shi Ning didn't know that what happened tonight was definitely not for the Valley of Beasts, but now it only reminds everyone how Zhao Tiantian framed him at that time, and how Zhao Tiantian later Anything I say is somewhat unbelievable.
Zhao Tiantian said: "The matter of the Valley of Beasts will be investigated in the future."
"You might as well tell me honestly how you took away Shi Ning's body."
Hearing Zhao Tiantian's words, Shi Ning's heart suddenly lifted, even though he had already thought about it. Maybe it's because of this. But when Zhao Tiantian mentioned it in front of everyone, he would inevitably feel a little nervous. It's just that on the face, he still has to hold on so that no one can see the clues.
Shi Ning deliberately sneered twice, "So senior sister has been in Juebing Valley for several months, and finally thought of how to explain the Valley of Beasts."
"At that time, I had only been recovering from a serious illness for two days. After I woke up, I was in the Valley of Beasts with senior sister. The first time we met, Senior
Sister knew that I was the person who stole the body, so you deliberately used the Cangzhu Talisman to lure Bai Hu out, hoping to kill me. I am the one who took over the body, but I don’t know why Senior Sister didn’t tell the truth that day and had to wait until a few months later?”
Shi Ning gave a puzzled look and asked Zhao Tiantian.
Zhao Tiantian was annoyed for a moment that he shouldn't have involved the Valley of Beasts issue just now, but now he could only hold on to the change in Shi Ning's personality.
"How come I didn't notice how my junior sister is so eloquent and changeable before? How come she can talk a lot even though she has been in a coma for two years."
Shi Ning sighed silently and said slowly: "I am like this now, of course, all this is thanks to " Senior Sister."
"If Senior Sister hadn't harmed me in the name of teaching me my mind, I would have been in a coma for two years and almost died tragically. How could I have been unwilling to practice just to protect myself?"
Shi Ning said. , even tears almost fell.
"If I hadn't suffered this sudden change, how could I have become less motivated? Aren't I still afraid that my senior sister will harm me again?" Shi Ning said, pretending to be aggrieved.
"I didn't expect that just for self-protection, Senior Sister would use it to write this article. Senior Sister is the daughter of the Sect Leader, and I have no intention of becoming the Sect Leader. All I want is a place to stay. Could it be that Senior Sister is not Do you want me to die before you are willing to give up?"
Shi Ning said sincerely, and she really had no intention of becoming the head of the sect, and the elders who were doing so saw it. Especially Zhao Zheng, whose face was turning blue and red. Unexpectedly, tonight Shi Ning would tell the truth about his coma two years ago.
Mu Yue said angrily: "So it was because of Zhao Tiantian that Shi Ning was in coma for two years?"
Shi Ning took advantage of this and said quickly: "Senior sister saw that I was stupid and could not understand the secret of Qi refining, so she wanted to give me some guidance. " One or two."
"The disciple is stupid. Hearing the kindness of the senior sister, he naturally did not put up any defense. But he never expected that the senior sister would attack my consciousness when I was not paying attention, making me unconscious and falling into a semi-death situation. It's over like this."
"I never thought that God would show mercy and give me another chance. Due to the high prestige in the sect at that time, I didn't dare to tell the matter, and I was even more afraid that the master would not believe what I said. I gave up cultivation and had no intention of becoming the leader. I thought that Senior Sister could spare my life, but I didn’t expect that there would be another incident in the Valley of Beasts.”
Zhao Zheng couldn’t bear to listen anymore, pointed at Zhao Tiantian and cursed angrily: “What Shi Ning said. But it's true!"
Zhao Tiantian didn't expect that Shi Ning would know what happened two years ago, but now that he has reached this point, he can only refuse to admit it, and said with tears, "Father wants to believe Shi Ning, but he doesn't want to believe me. I have nothing to say, but my daughter has never done these things. In order to avoid being searched for her spiritual consciousness, the demon cultivator naturally throws all kinds of dirty water on her. Shi Ning, let me ask you, do you dare? "Search for spiritual consciousness."
Fei Yun said coldly: "When Shi Ning's meridians are damaged, searching for spiritual consciousness will be extremely painful, and secondly, it will also cause damage to the meridians."
"If it is really just for unnecessary reasons, search for spiritual consciousness ." , I am afraid that even if it is found out that Shi Ning has not been taken away, he will have to cultivate for a long time. "
Fortunately, Fei Yun and Mu Yue are on his side, Shi Ning feels a little relieved, but he is far from relaxing.
Zhao Tiantian is at the end of his rope. If he can't expose Shi Ning's affair at the moment, he will have no way to turn around in the future.
"You are so eloquent, I can't talk to you. Why don't you explain the phalanx experience, Cangshan Black Feather Crane and how to find the skills and make breakthroughs. One time can be said to be a coincidence, but the other three are like cultivators. He did it deliberately for those who are far above the foundation to show off his cultivation."
When Shi Ning heard Zhao Tiantian talking about these things, he was speechless for a moment. How can he explain it? Isn't it all clear?
"You have framed me again and again. If you don't gain the upper hand, you can't defeat me."
Zhao Tiantian asked: "How come you can pass the square formation experience and recognize a Qi Refining disciple as the master of Yiye Xinfa? And you don't even have the ability to defeat me in daily life. " If you have never practiced, how can you defeat a disciple who is about to reach the elixir-formation stage? I really can't think of any other reasonable explanation for these things other than being taken away."
Shi Ning felt that Zhao Tiantian might have really lost his mind. If he kept talking about his drastic change in personality, Shi Ning would still be worried that his explanation would not be perfect. But she still wanted an explanation for these things later.
"Why did I pass the phalanx training? I think senior sister should ask Elder Huang. I'm also curious about why I passed the training at that time?"
"How about Elder Huang give me a reasonable explanation?"
Huang Xueping kept thinking about this matter. He maintained a neutral attitude, but he didn't expect to be mentioned by Shi Ning suddenly, so he couldn't help stroking his beard.
Shi Ning said with a smile: "Or did the elder deliberately let me off the hook that day?"
Huang Xueping said seriously: "Of course not."
"Didn't I say it that day? It's the reason why Shi Ning is so determined."
Shi Ning looked at Zhao Tiantian, "I wonder if this explanation is satisfactory to senior sister?"
"As for Yiye's mind method recognizing its master, I forgive me for not being able to give senior sister an explanation. After all, as long as the mind method does not recognize its master, senior sister, senior sister will wonder why, right?"
"The remaining sects Defeating senior brother in the competition is naturally due to his mentality. If these answers cannot satisfy senior sister, then there is nothing I can do."
Zhao Tiantian gritted his teeth and said, "Even if these junior sisters can explain themselves, I dare to say why they can tame whitebait. "Are you still treating Hongjin?"
"Junior sister has always done research on animal training. Is this also the result of mental skills?"
When Shi Ning heard this question, he did have some hesitation, after all, it involved Ao. Ling, and even involved the Kunshan Fire Fox.
Zhao Tiantian thought it was Shi Ning who didn't know how to answer, so she mocked him and said, "Why can't junior sister come up with a reasonable explanation?"
The only people present who knew about Kunshan were Shi Ning and Ling Che.
Ling Che said: "I know about this matter and it has nothing to do with the matter of seizing the body."
Ling Che explained for Shi Ning.
"Is there something that we can't tell with our mouths?" Zhao Tiantian asked forcefully.
If Zhao Tiantian knows about this matter, it won't take long for the Firefox clan to know about it, and countless troubles will follow in the future. It was absolutely impossible for Shi Ning to involve Kunshan in this matter.
Ling Che looked at Zhao Zheng and said, "I will explain this to you separately in the future, but I guarantee that the matter of silver fish and red brocade has nothing to do with the seizure of the body."
Zhao Zheng now believed that Shi Ning had not been seized of the body, and more It was the anger towards Zhao Tiantian who actually killed Shi Ning two years ago. This was his fault as the leader, and he would not be able to face Shi Ci a hundred years later.
"Have you made enough trouble tonight? Shi Ning tolerated you every step of the way, but you showed no repentance again and again!" Zhao Zheng sternly accused Zhao Tiantian.
However, Zhao Tiantian determined that what Ling Che said must be related to Shi Ning's seizure of the body. "Since Elder Ling Che is so sure that this matter has nothing to do with the seizure of the body, why can't he tell the matter?"
"Is there anything that can't be difficult about this matter ? Is it a secret?"
Shi Ning had already thought of an excuse and explained: "There is nothing secret about this matter, it's just that I haven't told anyone else."
"Before my father passed away, I sent a secret letter to the Mermaid King of Canghai, entrusting him with it. Always take care of me. The Mermaid King told me about the silver fish and red brocade before." Shi Ning thought about the excuse he used last time in the Luochuan Secret Realm, so there would be no problem even if he confronted Ao Ling. .
Zhao Tiantian didn't believe it, "The Mermaid King's family was wiped out, and now they are dead without evidence. You can say whatever you want."
But Shi Ning said indifferently: "Isn't there a third princess who will succeed the throne? If the leader doesn't believe it, you can ask the third princess. "
I didn't tell you about this before because it was a secret message between my father and the Mermaid King and I couldn't tell you. But since Senior Sister insists on knowing, I have no choice but to tell everyone. As for Elder Ling Che, it's not my intention." I know about this."
As Shi Ning told the story bit by bit, Zhao Zheng's face became more and more embarrassed.
Even if Zhao Zheng really wants to go to Ao Ling to verify something, it doesn't matter. It's just that Zhao Zheng must have been the head of the family for many years, but he was not aware of his daughter's persecution of Shi Ning at all, and he probably didn't have the nerve to investigate these things.
Although Shi Ning could answer any of Zhao Tiantian's questions fluently, she was really convinced that Shi Ning had been taken away from her, and that was what the man assured her.
"Demon cultivators have always made lies to confuse the public. Searching for spiritual consciousness is the only way to prove that Shi Ning has not been taken away."
Fortunately, Zhao Tiantian has one last trick, which is to attack the heart. Fortunately, before she came, she had asked Lu Zifan to inform all the disciples about Shi Ning's death. Even if no one believed what she said tonight, Zhao Zheng could still suppress the questioning from so many disciples of the Chengtian Sect. As long as she searched for her spiritual consciousness, everyone would know that what she said was true.
This is also what Shi Ning is most worried about, that is, searching for spiritual consciousness. Once this happens, he will not be able to hide it no matter how he explains it.
Huang Xueping also swayed a little, stroking his beard impatiently. Mu Yue kept looking at Zhao Tiantian coldly, her eyes full of ridicule and disdain.
Zhao Zheng no longer wanted to listen to anything Zhao Tiantian said, so he waved his hand and said: "Don't mention anything today, you can go and be punished on your own."
Zhao Tiantian said hoarsely: "Father, believe me, it is difficult to prove innocence without searching for spiritual consciousness. . "
Although the matter has come to an end, Shi Ning is still uneasy. Sure enough, Shi Ning noticed that Lu Zifan was coming with a group of disciples from afar. Zhao Tiantian said that he could still handle it.
But if there are a lot of disciples who really believe in the theory of seizing the body, Shi Ning may not be able to escape the search for his spiritual consciousness even if he wants to convince the public.
The author has something to say:
First of all, I want to say sorry to everyone, because I said before that it would be updated before 11:05 every day. After that, it will be changed to update before 12 o'clock every night. If it is too late that day, I will ask for leave in advance. It won't be a trap.
