Chapter 68 The incident happened. The eldest brother's crime was exposed.
Chapter 68 The incident happened. The eldest brother was exposed.
It had been raining heavily for two consecutive days outside the Wuwei Sect's meeting hall. The rain flowed down the steps, forming a trickling stream on both sides, soaking everyone's knees.
Qiu Shui held an umbrella behind him, holding back tears, and finally pushed the umbrella to Nanshan, ran forward to pull Yu Wei up: "Little brother, don't kneel, the head master will make a decision, otherwise... otherwise we will go to the master! The master must have a way!"
Yu Wei seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, and she couldn't move him no matter how hard she tried. He knelt in the rain, his back straight as a pine tree. But his face was indifferent, which was contrary to his behavior: "I can't go. Master is breaking the mirror at a critical moment. The head of the sect also said that Master must not know about this."
"Then what's the point of you kneeling here! Qishan Zhenjun is also in there. If the eldest brother is innocent, he will definitely be given justice!" Qiu Shui wiped away the rain that blocked his vision, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears. Soon, Nanshan held an umbrella over the two of them: "You two... go back quickly, Yu Wei, just listen to your senior sister..."
Yu Wei lowered his eyes and said stubbornly: "I'm kneeling here to prove that my senior brother would never do such a thing. He... is definitely not a demon."
The hurried footsteps behind him approached. It was Xie Bingyuan. He learned about this and hurried over to see the situation.
Yu Wei finally raised his head and asked calmly, "How is Senior Brother Li?"
Xie Bingyuan said, "Senior Brother has taken people to the South Island to look for him, but there is no news yet."
Yu Wei nodded, "Yes. That's good." He knelt steadily in the rain, his face as pale as a fragile piece of gold paper.
Seeing him like this, Nanshan gritted his teeth and knelt down with his clothes raised: "If you want to do this, then Senior Brother will kneel with you. Senior Brother is also my Senior Brother. Although he was not a good brother before, I can also testify that he will never kill anyone!"
Qiu Shui also wanted to kneel when she saw this, but was stopped by Nanshan who raised his arm and said, "You are a girl, it is not good to kneel here in the rain. Go back and prepare some elixirs and food for us. Senior Brother will definitely need them when he comes back. As for the outer disciples, you and several elders will also be needed to stabilize the situation..."
Qiu Shui listened, her eyes red, nodded vigorously, took the umbrella and stood up. Xie Bingyuan went back with her.
The door of the meeting hall had been closed for a day and a night, and Tianyao Sect, the sect of the murdered disciple, Qishan and others were all there. Nanshan comforted him, "With Master Qishan here, Chao Jianxue will be fine. Last time he did that, Master Qishan said nothing but he was fine, right?"
Yu Wei said "hmm" and didn't respond.
The headmaster ordered him not to leave the sect, so he knelt here, just to seek peace of mind.
Looking at the pouring rain, Yu Wei suddenly recalled his youth, when he did not follow the rules of the elders and was also punished to kneel, but he knelt in the corridor and could see the heavy rain outside when he looked up.
At that moment, he had the urge to stand up and rush into the rain. However, thinking of the waiters following him, his small body knelt straight, and he dared to move his knees quietly to relieve the pain.
What if... what if he rushed into the rain at that time?
What if he...
The door of the meeting hall suddenly opened, and Yu Wei stood up at once, but because he was numb from kneeling, he stumbled when he walked forward.
Nanshan was beside him: "Master..."
Yu Wei looked up expectantly, but met the headmaster's righteous eyes.
-
"Open it! Open it!" The gamblers watching were getting anxious. What on earth was this cat demon trying to keep secret? Moreover, its legs on the table were clearly shaking a little. Why was it pretending to be calm?
Chao Jianxue had indeed noticed this. He put his feet down.
The dice cup was so hot from his grip that it pressed tightly against his palm. His palm felt numb for a moment because he was holding it too tightly.
The snake demon stared at him with a playful look on his face. His eyes seemed to hiss with joy after stacking up the bets.
Chao Jianxue took a deep breath, calmed down, and raised his hand to open it.
Everyone's necks stretched to look at the table at once.
"…What is this…"
"Unheard of…"
"Who wins and who loses?"
Chao Jianxue threw the dice cup and said with a smile, "It's zero, I win."
The snake demon jumped up and saw that the place where the two dice were originally was just two small piles of gravel. The wood had turned into powder. Not to mention a few points, there was not even a single point.
"When..." The snake demon narrowed his eyes dangerously. Recalling everything that happened just now, he suddenly understood that it was when Chao Jianxue put down the dice cup.
In that fleeting sound, he actually used his spiritual power to directly smash two of the dice through the air. How did he do it without making any noise? How fast should it be?
But why did he think he would bet big?
The snake demon thought carefully, and suddenly, his tongue spit out, and his legs turned into snake tails, supporting him to stand up high, looking down at Chao Jianxue: "What a good trick."
It was when Chao Jianxue accidentally threw the dice.
He knew that he could identify the size by listening to the sound. This seemingly careless throwing was for Chao Jianxue to see. After seeing it, he knew what kind of sound would throw such a number, and then reversed it. At the moment when he put down the dice cup, he deliberately let him hear the sound of "big".
So he knew that he would definitely bet big, so he naturally went small and naturally revealed the two dice that he had broken into powder in this game!
Such a skill requires not only the technique of breaking the dice in an instant without being discovered, but also a resolute mind, sharp judgment, and extraordinary courage.
The snake demon leaned down and got closer and closer to Chao Jianxue: "You use such means, aren't you afraid that I will kill you now?"
Chao Jianxue did not hide this time, and smiled and said: "You are the owner of the Youmin Casino. If you want to play rogue, with so many people watching and bearing witness for me, how can you gain a foothold in the ghost market in the future?" "
You are also cheating."
"I didn't, this gambling game was originally a competition of listening to the sound, not to mention that I let the owner guess first." Chao Jianxue frowned, looking even aggrieved.
The snake demon sniffed the demonic aura on his body carefully, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "What kind of demon are you?"
Chao Jianxue shrugged: "Didn't you say that I am a cat demon?"
"...No." The snake demon suddenly attacked, opened his mouth and bit Chao Jianxue's neck. The latter suddenly widened his eyes and was about to throw him to the ground, but the snake demon immediately let go.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous..." He smacked the blood in his mouth, his expression gradually changing.
Chao Jianxue was angry. He covered his neck and said in a deep voice: "Since I won, why don't you give me the washed bones?"
The snake demon's eyes suddenly shot out a terrifying light, and his originally gloomy face became much brighter, and he smiled again: "Then come with me. By the way, my name is Qing Tuliu."
Chao Jianxue was not interested in knowing his name. This snake demon was capricious and unpredictable. He took the washed bones and ran away as soon as possible. It
was a rare and new thing to be able to defeat the abbot. Chao Jianxue walked out with Qing Tuliu in the admiring eyes of everyone and came to the next door.
At Qing Tuliu's signal, the waiter brought a porcelain bottle the size of a thumb.
Chao Jianxue opened the bottle stopper, and inside was a clear liquid, colorless and tasteless, no different from ordinary water.
"Is this the bone washing?"
"No one usually wants the bone washing, but it's rare. The gambling house has been passed down for several generations and there are only two bottles. The last bottle was given away a long time ago." Qing Tuliu's snake tail coiled up, and the tip of the tail slowly hit the ground.
Chao Jianxue was about to drink it, and he said, "Don't rush to drink it. After drinking it, your body will fall into a state of no spiritual power. Are you sure you really want to drink it from me?"
Hearing this, Chao Jianxue immediately plugged the bottle and put it into the storage space.
He was suspicious and said, "Would you be so kind?"
Qing Tuliu made a very sad expression: "My things have fallen into your hands again and again, maybe it's also a kind of fate. Under this fate, I'd better be a good demon."
Chao Jianxue turned around and was about to leave.
"Goodbye." Qing Tuliu said.
Chao Jianxue left a sentence "It's better not to see you again" and flew straight down from the middle.
Qing Tuliu smiled and said, "I will definitely meet you."
Soon, his smile faded and he called the waiter, "Go, replace all the dice in the shop with iron ones... No, replace them with black iron that will never be shattered!"
The waiter went out bitterly and calculated with the accountant. It was another large expense. Since the young master took over as the master, the net profit of their gambling house has gradually not been as rich as before.
Chao Jianxue returned to the bottom of the well as quickly as possible, and then jumped up and jumped out of the well smoothly. It was just that when he crawled out of the well, he felt a bit like Sadako. Fortunately, this was not an ordinary place.
He crossed the sand again, changed into a black dress, and appeared in the territory of South Island.
But just before going back, Chao Jianxue realized that he had not eaten. Now that the big thing was done, his stomach was empty and he immediately wailed. The injury in his waist and abdomen had not been treated yet, so he should find a place to eat first and then wash it well.
So he stopped in front of a wonton shop.
It was early in the morning, the wind was not too hot, and there was a gentle breeze. Chao Jianxue ordered a bowl of freshly wrapped thin-skinned wontons and sat down to eat slowly.
He was too tired, and too relieved to enter the realm, so he didn't look up until he saw a long sword across his neck.
The leader was a disciple from his sect. The clothes he wore looked familiar to Chao Jianxue. He remembered that he was the unlucky disciple who ran away when he saw him in the narrow realm.
His heart skipped a beat.
Many disciples surrounded him and raised their swords. The people around the wonton stall immediately scattered.
"Sure enough, it's here! Notify Wuwei Sect Li Zhenzhen that we found him and will take him to Wuwei Sect now!"
Chao Jianxue weighed the pros and cons again and again, and said, "Let me have another sip of soup..."
Considering his identity, everyone didn't dare to move easily. Chao Jianxue then lowered his head, quickly swallowed a human transformation pill, and drank it down with the wonton soup.
"Okay!" Chao Jianxue stood up, "I'll go with you."
He thought he would meet Li Zhenzhen, and he would ask what happened, but he didn't expect that this group of people didn't even let him see Li Zhenzhen, and directly tied his hands and flew to Wuwei Sect.
He asked what happened, but these people only gave him riddles and sneered at him.
Chao Jianxue vaguely guessed that it was probably the disciple who woke up and told him what he looked like, but it didn't matter, he was tied up, he had already taken the human pill anyway, and his demon appearance was temporarily stable.
It's just... it's just that he really turned into a little mermaid on the shore...
But compared to losing spiritual power, the human pill is still more urgent.
-
Chao Jianxue grinned, as if he used a huge amount of strength every step he took, and didn't say anything, just waved his hands.
Seeing this, the escorting disciples whispered to each other and asked what happened to this person. The leader said coldly: "The demon tribe is cunning, who knows what tricks it is!" So he didn't care.
But Chao Jianxue walked crookedly, and finally sat down, with no image at all, and shouted: "I can't walk anymore! You carry me away!" "
!" The leading disciple was furious. He killed their people and still acted arrogantly here. If it weren't for the head of the sect asking him to take people to Wuwei Sect for interrogation, he would have wanted to execute him on the spot! He was
so angry that he was about to go up with a sword, but the disciples around him stopped him and said: "Brother, you can't do that. He is still a member of Wuwei Sect. We just need to send him there, and we should leave quickly!" Only
then did he give up!
Chao Jianxue didn't want to leave. Did he really want them to carry him away? So they found a flying vehicle and locked Chao Jianxue in it.
Chao Jianxue's bones finally loosened a little, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
In the dusk clouds ahead, Wuwei Sect was almost there.
Chao Jianxue was overjoyed. After the things were explained and prevaricated, he could lie in his retreat cave for ten days and half a month, and no one could disturb him. When the side effects of bone washing are over, he can live a clean life. Whether he goes to the human world or continues to date Yu Wei, he will have a clear conscience!
However, after entering Wuwei Sect, things did not develop as he expected.
First, the disciples of Wuwei Sect came over and locked his hands. Chao Jianxue knew that this was a mysterious lock that could suppress spiritual power. He tried to remain calm and asked them: "What happened? The matter has not been concluded yet. Why did you lock me up? Where is the leader? Where is Li Zhenzhen? Where are Yu Wei and the others?"
The disciple who locked him up looked up. It was the leader's disciple who was on the same stage with Chao Jianxue at the discussion meeting that day. He had a complicated expression and held the lock tightly: "The evidence of your case is conclusive. I will take you to meet the leader. No one else can see him."
Chao Jianxue smiled: "Hey, how can the evidence be conclusive? Did I rob with a knife or kill and set fire? I just took a walk outside. Where did the evidence come from?"
The disciple frowned and didn't want to listen to his argument anymore: "That disciple was stabbed by several swords, and you are so cruel, and you are still talking nonsense here! No matter what purpose you have in hiding in Wuwei Sect, you can't escape today!"
What is he talking about?
Chao Jianxue couldn't figure it out. He really couldn't figure it out.
Did something happen in Xuanzhen Realm during the days he was away? Has the plot line changed again?
He was brought into a dark room. With a bang, the only exit with light was blocked. The cold air enveloped him. Chao Jianxue's back froze and he shivered violently.
He tried to summon his sect's jade token, but it seemed broken and not bright, just like a thin brick. He had no choice but to summon Ming Qianli and ask him to cut off the lock on his hand.
Ming Qianli worked hard for a long time, and Chao Jianxue was sweating profusely, almost soaking his underwear.
But he couldn't make any progress after grinding for a long time. He couldn't bear the pain and sat down in the dark to rest.
At this moment, the sky suddenly became bright, and the whole cramped space was so bright that it was impossible to open his eyes. It hurt so much that he cried. Chao Jianxue screamed hoarsely and shrank himself.
When he opened his eyes again, the head of the sect, Chen Du Yuanjun, and some elders whose names he couldn't remember were all there, examining him like a vicious criminal, looking down on him from above.
"Chao Jianxue, do you know your guilt?"
Chao Jianxue was a little dazed by the sudden questioning, and suppressed his anger: "What crime have I committed?"
"Well, since you don't admit it, I'll let you see it for yourself!"
-
In the cave that was restricted by the Mahayana period, Nanshan guarded the door tightly and shouted to Yu Wei, whose spiritual energy was disordered in front of him: "I know you feel bad! But you have also seen the scene recorded by the magic weapon. That disciple held his last breath and insisted that Chao Jianxue was a demon. He also killed people! What else can you say to defend him!"
He had been in a stalemate with him for a day and had to summon his sword. Yu Wei seemed to be crazy, and the sword energy was running around his body, as if in order to break through the cave, he would really chop his senior brother to death.
Yu Wei took a step closer with his sword: "The magic weapon, the disciple's words, are all possible to be false!"
"Whether it is false or not, the masters will know it after checking! You... don't be impulsive! Even if you force yourself to go out now, you can't break the restriction! If Chao Jianxue is innocent, he will have his own explanation when he comes back. You will only cause trouble if you go!"
Yu Wei turned a deaf ear to him, raised his hand, and swung out his spiritual power, which made a counterattack with the restriction, and also shocked Nanshan to dodge.
Another palm, Nanshan was shocked and dodged left and right.
"...Didn't you say you believe in Chao Jianxue! If you believe in him, why are you so anxious! Can't you wait for the results to come out?"
"No!" Yu Wei's expression was grim, but he didn't say anything more. No matter what, he should accompany his senior brother.
The light emitted by the only sword became even brighter, and Nanshan jumped up as if his butt was on fire, and said in shock: "You, you, you, the God of Transformation?"
"When did you become a God of Transformation!" He was shocked, and took a few steps back to avoid the pressure of the God of Transformation, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Yu Wei had already stood in front of him, his brows gloomy: "Get out of the way!" Nanshan shuddered, unable to withstand the pressure, and stepped back to make way.
Two loud noises came from the door of the cave, and Nanshan stared in amazement. Yu Wei withdrew his sword, clasped his hands together, and a dazzling lotus condensed in front of him. The lotus leaves were like sharp swords, shooting straight into the forbidden formation.
The sound of explosions rushed towards him.
This is not the Wuwei Sect's technique. Where did the little junior brother learn it from? He... who is he!
-
Chao Jianxue looked blankly in the mirror.
"How dare you say you don't recognize him? How dare you say you didn't do anything? You are a half-demon, but you have been hiding under the nose of Wuwei Sect for decades. Qishan Zhenjun pities you for having no parents, and Mu Yuan personally enlightens you, but you committed such a cruel killing! Thirty-seven swords, each sword is fatal. If he hadn't forced himself to stay with his last breath, how long would you have hidden? Would you have colluded with the demon realm and harmed the immortal sect!"
The head of the sect had blazing eyes, and every word was heart-piercing.
Chao Jianxue knelt on the ground and shook his head in disbelief: "I didn't kill him, he ran away..."
He ran away...?
What did he do during the time when his mind was not clear enough? If he was dominated by the demon nature, would he really kill people?
It's not that he hasn't thought about it, it's not that he hasn't thought about it!
Did he really kill him?
...I don't know... Chao Jianxue himself doesn't know either...
But now, Chao Jianxue trembled and pinched his knuckles, facing the gazes of the head and the elders. The pressure was like a mountain pressing down on his back, but he still insisted with his neck stiff: "I am not... I am not a demon!"
He had already eaten the human transformation pill. As long as he insisted on this, the disciple's words could not be trusted!
The head took a step forward, and a long sword immediately appeared in his palm. Chao Jianxue retreated repeatedly and retreated to the wall.
"When Qishan brought you back, I had some doubts, but your soul has been damaged for a long time, and your demonic power has not revealed any clues. Only then did I believe Qishan's words that you are not the evil offspring left by the big demon. If I had known this earlier, I would have known that your soul was stable, and I should have expected the consequences today and killed you!" Chen
Du Yuanjun turned his head away, unwilling to look anymore, and turned around and walked out.
Chao Jianxue saw that the sword was getting closer and closer to him, and knew that he could no longer sit and wait for death. He stretched out his hand and held Ming Qianli.
But how could a Nascent Soul with only a spent force be a match for the headmaster?
Within three moves, the long sword pierced his chest. Chao Jianxue felt that his life was rapidly draining from that place, and the blood in his body turned cold.
The elders gathered in a circle and began to chant the spell, to set up a killing array to eliminate demons and monsters. Such a killing array would not even leave souls.
The former teacher is now the hated enemy.
What is the need to hide? Chao Jianxue's instinct for survival suddenly erupted. He swallowed the fishy sweetness fiercely and slapped out with one palm. The spiritual power and demonic power combined to shock the headmaster back a step.
It was this retreat that Chao Jianxue pulled out the sword that pierced his chest and turned around to crash into the cave entrance.
The sword shadow of death was one step slower than him. Ming Qianli turned into a moon sickle to split the cave entrance. He rushed out, and the mess in front of him could not be seen carefully. He could only run forward. There were many people blocking his way, so he drew his sword to fend them off. There were many familiar or unfamiliar people who drew their swords at him, so he shook them all away with his sickle. It
was as if a long wind was blowing at the wound, taking away something of his, something that could never be returned.
Suddenly, his arm was grabbed.
Chao Jianxue jumped up and raised his sword to chop at the man, but when he saw the other person clearly, he held back, causing his wrist to cramp and his muscles to twist.
"Yu..." Chao Jianxue swallowed.
"Yu Wei! Be careful!" Someone followed the voice.
Yu Wei's strength tightened, and there was an unshakable worry in his brows: "Brother, are you okay..."
No, no, no! Not okay at all! Chao Jianxue's chest rose and fell violently, and at this time, Yu Wei saw that his chest was constantly soaked with blood-colored clothes. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he tried to reach out and touch the wound.
Chao Jianxue opened his hand with a "snap" and continued to flee forward in panic, but the pursuers had already arrived. The master's sword pierced into the ground just inches away from him with a clang. The ground even cracked into a long and narrow crack. If Chao Jianxue had not reacted quickly, the sword would have pierced his feet.
"Did you see it? He did use his demonic power when he escaped just now! If I'm not mistaken, he is the wicked son left by the Ying family a hundred years ago!"
"The appearance of a half-demon is bound to cause trouble. All disciples listen to my order and work together to kill Chao Jianxue!"
Nanshan arrived at this time and was almost scared to death when he heard this: "Wait... wait a minute... Master..."
Without the master taking action, the disciple of his sect whose junior brother had died had already drawn his sword. Chao Jianxue was caught off guard and was pierced again. The disciple was very close to him, his face was ferocious and his eyes were red. He shouted: "I will avenge my junior brother now!"
Chao Jianxue stared at him with wide eyes. As the sword in his abdomen was pulled out again, the cold feeling swept over him again. It was obviously summer, why was it so cold? His hands could not cover the wound at all.
But he really had no memory of killing anyone. Did he kill anyone?
The disciple raised his sword again and stabbed at him. Chao Jianxue stabbed and retreated: "No..." He didn't kill anyone... He shouldn't have!
At this moment, Yu Wei moved. Everyone thought that Yu Wei was standing there to kill the evildoer, but he actually knocked away the sword that was stabbing at Chao Jianxue.
He stood in front of Chao Jianxue, and if you listened carefully, you could hear the trembling in his voice: "Master, please check carefully, Senior Brother, Chao Jianxue did not kill anyone!"
"Hmph!" He sent the head of the sect to snort coldly, "The most taboo in cultivation is to hesitate when you should make a decision. Useless kindness will hurt you!"
"Chao Jianxue!" Li Zhenzhen came late with a sword in hand. When he saw the tense situation in front of him, he was about to come up, but Chen Du stopped him.
Chen Du stepped forward and
said, "Head, Headmaster Su, there are still doubts in this matter. Why don't you put Chao Jianxue in the water prison and keep him under strict supervision." "Suspicious points?" Headmaster Su, who had lost his disciple, widened his eyes, "What other doubts are there? Are you saying that my disciple's dying words are not credible?"
"No, there may be a misunderstanding in this matter. If Chao Jianxue really killed someone, why did he appear in South Island and why did he come back with you? I heard from the disciples you escorted that he did not resist."
"But he is a monster for sure! Yuanjun thinks monsters should not be killed?!"
Chao Jianxue's vision gradually dimmed, but he still saw that when he said the word "monster", Yu Wei's shoulder, who was blocking in front of him, trembled visibly.
He felt sad.
