8. The Tao is different
Yang Qiusheng used two fluttering sentences, not only subtly revealing his position, but also changing the root of this confrontation from "whether there was a killing" to "whether there is a motive to kill", Yan Li immediately felt that this person was cunning, and things began to develop in a complicated direction. He followed Feng Jiu back this time, firstly, because of Feng Jiu's trust, and secondly, he was sure to persuade most people, but Yang Qiusheng made an understatement, so that no matter how much strong evidence he provided in the future, as long as he could not directly prove his innocence, it was sophistry: since there was a motive for killing, the more supporting evidence he provided, the more it proved that he was scheming.
The cliff has not yet condensed, originally this is the last killer weapon, as long as you take it out and show it to everyone, the natal sword is broken, how to kill Lei Yan? But at this moment it has become meaningless. He knew that if he wanted to protect himself, he had to try something different. He asked Xu Longxiang: "Senior Brother Xu keeps saying that I killed Senior Brother Lei Yan, why don't you describe the process of my killing?" For example, what moves did I use, how did Senior Brother Lei deal with it, and what means did I use in the end to make Senior Brother Lei obediently lie on the ground and be stabbed to death by me?"
Xu Longxiang was a little panicked in his heart, but his face was silent, after all, he was a decades-old Jianghu, and he had already rehearsed these questions dozens of times in his mind, and at this moment he replied like a stream: "Hmph, that day I was washed under the Nine Heavens Hanging River, and I tried my best to protect the two junior brothers swimming ashore, and Senior Brother Lei also spent a lot of true yuan to save the lives of other junior brothers...... When the two of us went ashore, it was already the end of the crossbow...... he pointed at Yan Li and shouted, "You shameless villain, I obviously passed out in your beating, and you even asked me what means I used!"
The information is vague and clean.
Yan Li's heart couldn't help sinking, Xu Longxiang was not a fledgling young man, ordinary means couldn't deceive him at all, he glanced at the first seat of each vein, and all of them sat there as if they didn't care about themselves, even Ye Qinglan, who was familiar with her, didn't seem to intend to say a word for him. If he could have been given a chance to collect evidence two days earlier, the situation might have been different, but there is no such thing as an if, and he is by no means a person who only imagines ifs when he is in a desperate situation.
"Senior brother, Master Yang, you are the first, the disciple wants to insert a digression, and I hope to allow it. "He has always sat with figures representing real power clasping his fists.
Xu Longxiang didn't know what Yan Li was planning, but adhering to the purpose of not letting the enemy be satisfied, he immediately jumped out and said: "What kind of digression, you shameless murderer, can't argue, so you try to shift your focus? All of you are discerning people, don't show off your ugly face like you! Do you know how many times Senior Brother Lei said good things about you before his death? Do you know that Senior Brother Lei doesn't want to kill you at all? Do you know that Senior Brother Lei has discussed with me to secretly release you and ask you to find evidence to prove that you are not an undercover demon agent? Why do you have to quibble in this situation? Honestly admit your crimes, is it so difficult to knock in front of Senior Brother Lei's mourning hall?" The more he spoke, the more confident he became, and the more he questioned, the louder it became, and the members of the Lei Department in the square outside heard it with red eyes, and they scolded Yan Li one after another, how ugly the words were, how ugly they were, almost all the swear words they knew in their lives were used, and a few impulsively even wanted to break in and kill people, but they were stopped by the disciples of the Heavenly Division.
Feng Jiu's face became more and more ugly, the mess of order, Yan Li's poor performance, all of which made his anger continue to rise. "Yan Li, don't talk about him left and right, if you can't prove your innocence, I can't keep you!" he gave an ultimatum in a deep voice, "I'll give it to you twice in the end."
Take advantage of the opportunity to speak, and don't say anything irrelevant!"
Xu Longxiang sneered secretly, his eyes were full of provocation, and he looked at Yan Li contemptuously. If you want to fight with me, you are still a little tender, if it weren't for Feng Jiu to protect you, you would have let your head fall to the ground a long time ago!
Yan Li's murderous eyes were full of murder, and he involuntarily had the urge to kill Xu Longxiang and then defect from the Sword Court, he knew that if he did this, it would be equivalent to being convicted of killing Lei Yan, and the situation of the senior brother would become extremely difficult, and Zang Jianfeng would also be unlucky because of his behavior, and he would move his whole body with a single hair, he warned himself not to be impulsive, not to be impulsive...... Let out a long puff of cloudy air, close your eyes, and release your clenched fists. "Senior brother, human prejudice and malice are like a mountain, and what I know, see, read, and experience is not enough to organize the language to climb over it. I don't want to say any more. ”
Chang Maochun immediately said: "He confessed to killing Lei Yan!"
"I didn't. Yan Lidao.
"Then what do you mean?" Chang Maochun said sharply, "This is the sacred law enforcement hall, you can say it if you want to, and if you don't want to say it, don't say it, who do you think you are?"
Yan Li saw Feng Jiu's eyes revealing undisguised disappointment. Yang Qiusheng is still so unfathomable, you think he is hostile to you, but you don't feel a trace of malice from him, and he doesn't even have killing intent, as if he really put on a serious and responsible attitude that he should have under his ass. He looked at Ye Qinglan alone, and the latter was still very flat, and his eyes were calm and did not dodge. At this time, he suddenly remembered an article, in which he made a hypothesis: If Taibai's lineage is passed down, who will be respected in kendo? The article used analogy to make a rather convincing analysis, and the final result was that Taibai should be the supreme of kendo. The person who did this article was killed within two days, and no one knows who did it, only that it was Jian Xiu.
Combining the article with the current situation, he gained an understanding: from the moment his Taibai heir was exposed, few people present regarded him as a fellow disciple. He is a descendant of other kendo, a "stranger" person. If he really killed Lei Yan, then the end would naturally be a dead word, and if not, then there was no need for them to help a "stranger" deal with their own disciples. Except for Feng Jiu, these people are like transparent dewdrops, only through the refraction of the surrounding scenes, only to show the trend of colorful, these colors can be seen in the nine great ways of the unification, like a huge palette, no matter what color they become, they are also rolling around in the palette, or hugging and merging, or frustrated and separated, and he Yan Li, but outside the canvas.
I had a conversation with Li Xiangjun before:
"Does Childe think the Sword Court will accept you again?"
"Why not? ”
"Childe, of course, people must have the value of being used, but such a rule has a premise, that is, the same race and the same kind. ”
At that time, he laughed disappreliantly, thinking that Li Xiangjun was referring to the demon bloodline on his body, but now he knew that it was "the Tao is different". He could imagine Li Xiangjun's entangled state of mind at that time, not only afraid that what he said would be explicit and make him lose face, but also worried about making the wrong guidance. Her instincts were right, this sense of alienation of "Tao is different" has always existed since stepping into the main hall, just like swallowing ice cubes in winter, keeping his body and mind cold. But this cold can't take him yet
All infestation. Yu Qiuyu, who had been a classmate for half a year, stood silently beside him, holding the Thirteen Runs, ready to rescue him at any time; Senior Brother was trusted by pressure; All members of Zangjian Peak were imprisoned.
"It's up to Senior Brother to decide. He made a decision.
Hearing Yan Li speak like this, there was an uproar in the hall. Yang Qiusheng said: "Yan Li, have you given up arguing and are ready to let Xiao Jiu decide whether you are guilty or not?"
"Yes. Yan Li said, looking at Feng Jiu fixedly, "Senior brother, I didn't mean to embarrass you, it's really helpless, the Lord of Little Sword Peak died for me, Elder Zijun and they were imprisoned in the sword prison because of me, just like in Longling City, I can't just leave." Senior brother, no matter what you decide, I won't blame you. ”
"Hear it, he confessed!" Xu Longxiang shouted excitedly to Feng Jiu, "Senior Brother, hurry up and order him to be executed, put his head in Senior Brother Lei's spiritual hall, and pay tribute to Senior Brother Lei's spirit in the sky!"
"Kill him, kill him, kill him!"
The square outside emitted a tsunami-like collective will, but in the face of such persecution, Feng Jiu always kept a calm face and said nothing. He is now the acting head of the sect, and all the decisions he makes represent the will of the head of the sect, and he can pardon Yan Li in one sentence, but correspondingly, it means that Xu Longxiang is guilty. If Xu Longxiang is found guilty, it is likely that the members of the Lei Department will not be able to accept this result and will riot, and he will bear full responsibility.
Yang Qiusheng suddenly said: "Xiao Jiu, no matter what decision you make, Uncle Shi will support you." Although Yan Li's child is suspicious, this responsibility is lacking in most disciples in the sect. ”
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall changed suddenly. Chang Maochun's master and apprentice, as well as several other powerful elders, all looked at Yang Qiusheng in disbelief, completely unable to understand the meaning of his words.
Not only them, but even Feng Jiu and the five leaders were a little surprised.
Xu Longxiang was faintly uneasy in his heart, his eyes were ruthless, and he said meaningfully to Feng Jiu: "Senior brother, if you still want to be partial when the evidence of the crime is conclusive, then I will question your qualifications to take charge of the sect on your behalf......
"Shut up, idiot!" Chang Maochun was shocked, at this time, he "threatened" Feng Jiu, with Feng Jiu's temperament, wouldn't he push him to Yan Li?
Sure enough, Feng Jiu stood up with a pale face and said, "The matter has not been completely clarified yet, it is too early to make a judgment now!
Chang Maochun's face turned cold, he knew the truth, if he didn't finalize the facts as soon as possible, it was very likely that something would happen outside the window, and the changes that he couldn't grasp made him extremely uneasy in his heart, and this uneasiness was connected with his apprentice Xu Longxiang.
"Senior brother, I didn't want to say something about you......"
At this time, the master and apprentice made up their minds to shake off Feng Jiu's secret and break the net. Xu Longxiang's face was ruthless, and he was about to continue, but it was also at this time that Chang Maochun suddenly glanced at Yang Qiusheng like a ghost, and just this glance made him immediately change his mind, and interrupted sharply: "Didn't you hear the order of the acting head of the sect, why don't you hurry up and carry it out?"
Xu Longxiang looked back in surprise, Chang Maochun shook his head vaguely at him, and then looked at Yang Qiusheng from afar, and the two suddenly showed a tacit smile together.
