Chapter 82: Suspicion
A loud door slam sounded.
This former senior brother of Minshan was thrown into a dim cell by the two of them.
The prison of Minshan Mountain was hollowed out of a high mountain and built in the middle of the mountain.
In the cell where Su Wushi was, there were rocky mountain walls on all sides, only a heavy iron door in the northeast corner, and a small window sealed by iron bars on the west mountain wall.
At this time, it was still early, and the light outside the prison shone through the small window, reflecting on Su Wushi's face full of pain.
He didn't get up, still in the same position as when he was thrown into his cell.
Lying on top of a push of weeds, he was like a dead man, not even moving.
Time passes, time passes.
The light that came in from the window had already moved from Su Wushi's face to his eyes.
He lay on his stomach on the weeds, half of his face paralyzed against the weeds, but he still didn't mean to move.
He just stared blankly at the light in front of him.
In fact, this used to be a pair of arrogant, and incomparably bright eyes.
But now, these eyes have lost their purpose and become dim.
He walked from Hangzhou to Minshan in seven days.
But even after seven days of walking, he still couldn't get out of the shadow of Uncle Xiao's death.
He regretted it and blamed himself.
He knew that Uncle Shi was dead, and he must also be held responsible.
If he could see through Uncle Shi's deception at the beginning and stay to fight the enemy with the other party, then maybe Uncle Shi would not have died.
If he took a step back, if he was not so willful and could go back quickly, maybe he could have prevented that from happening.
There was a lingering image in his mind right now.
On that rainy night, in the woods, the gray-haired little uncle lay down in a deep pit, ruthlessly washed by the heavy rain.
This picture, during these seven days, tormented his soul over and over again.
He thought that after returning to Minshan, he would be able to see the master, and he would be able to find peace of mind from the master.
But how could he have thought that when he returned to the sect with a heavy heart, this god would give him another merciless blow.
Even now, he can't accept what is in front of him.
He didn't believe that the master was dead, and he didn't want to believe it.
….
Suddenly, just as he was in a deep state of remorse, he suddenly heard a soft cry coming from outside the iron gate.
"Big brother!"
"Big brother!".
The cry was soft, but urgent, as if the person who was shouting was worried about something.
Su Wushi was very familiar with this voice, so he got up with difficulty, held down the injury on his chest with one hand, and held on to the stone wall with the other, and came to the iron gate.
Through a small gap above the iron door, Su Wushi saw the figure of the person outside the door.
He knew that this person was his junior brother Xiao Zhang on Sanqing Peak, so he immediately stepped forward with his face on his face and asked urgently.
"Xiao Zhang! Xiao Zhang! Master, what happened to his old man? Why did they say that I killed my master? ”。
Xiao Zhang saw that Su Wushi was talking too loudly, so he booed while turning his face sideways and looking in the direction of the aisle.
It wasn't until he confirmed that no one had found out, and after turning around, he whispered to Su Wushi.
"Big brother... A few days ago, a fire broke out on the main peak. After the fire, the disciples found the master's body in an old forest in the back mountain the next day. And according to Uncle Wu, the old man was already poisoned by the old man before he was killed."
Su Wushi leaned his face closer and asked in a low voice.
"Who poisoned it, and who killed it!".
His master was killed, and Uncle Wang was also killed, although these two things happened in different places, he thought, there must be some kind of connection between them.
Xiao Zhang, whispered.
"It's the poison of Zhou Shibo of the Law Enforcement Peak, and Zhou Shibo is the man in black who broke into Minshan on that night five years ago!".
In Su Wushi's mind, he recalled that night.
He remembered that the man in black broke into Minshan at night, wanting to absorb the domineering true qi in Shi Wuwei's body, but in the end he was injured by his master and escaped.
He still remembered that the man in black had killed two Dao disciples after he fled.
Thinking of this, he said, "There was a theory of internal thieves at the beginning. On that day, Shi Wuwei and the others had just gone up the mountain, how could outsiders get the news so quickly, unless that person was originally from Minshan, but he didn't expect this thief to be Uncle Zhou! ”。
Xiao Zhang continued, "As for who killed the master, we don't know. It's just that we found that there seemed to be traces left by the Fire Cloud Palm in the place of battle."
Su Wushi was shocked and said, "Huoyun Palm? Could it be a person of the Buddha's sect? ”。
But there was a trace of puzzlement in his heart, because the clue was too obvious.
He always felt that this seemed to be a suspicion of blame, after all, if he was casting the Fire Cloud Palm, wouldn't this murderer want everyone in the world to know that this was done by the Buddha?
But suddenly, he remembered an even more incomprehensible question and spoke up.
"Wait!! Since they all know that it was Uncle Zhou's poison, why did they say that I hurt the master? ”。
Xiao Zhang leaned his face forward and whispered.
"Senior brother, do you still remember what happened on the Lushan Taoist Temple?"
Su Wushi thought about it, and recalled a night in his mind.
He remembered that at that time, a group of five of them met the four immortals of Meigu on Lushan Mountain, and met a man in black together.
Later, they found out that this man in black turned out to be an uncle surnamed Wu from Minshan, and he also cultivated the Devouring Decision.
So, he said, "Remember... Merely.. What does this have to do with me! ”。
Xiao Zhang opened his mouth and said, "Senior brother, do you remember who Minshan sent to Lushan after you killed Uncle Wu?" ”。
Su Wushi frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I remember it was Uncle Zhou and Uncle Yang."
Xiao Zhang continued: "Exactly. Now that I think about it, Zhou Shibo must be afraid of the East Window incident, so he will immediately go to Lushan to solve the matter. It's just that Master Wu thinks that everyone is suspicious of the matter of Lushan. Now, that Uncle Yang has also been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and they say that both of you have also cultivated the Life Devouring Decision. Moreover, it is said that Yun Jianfeng's disciples had already received the news of Uncle Wang's death, so they suspected that it was you and Uncle Zhou who had poisoned Master and Uncle Wang! ”。
As the little junior brother spoke, Su Wushi's mind gradually smoothed out the messy thoughts.
After that, he first asked in a deep voice, "You just said that Master Wu?" Could it be that Uncle Wu has already taken over the position of head of the house? ”。
Xiao Zhang nodded and said, "Well, at the moment, the dragons of Minshan have no leader, and in terms of qualifications, cultivation, and seniority, only Uncle Wu can be the head."
Su Wushi was silent and thought for a while.
When he found out about these things, he didn't think anything was right.
So, he asked, "Since I am here, they can let Master Zhou testify with me, why do they want to seal me as a cultivator and detain me here."
Xiao Zhang whispered, "Senior brother, don't you know, the night the master died, Master Zhou was killed by Uncle Wu, and many disciples saw Master Zhou perform the life devouring duel with their own eyes!" ”。
As soon as these words came out, Su Wushi's brows furrowed a little tighter.
I thought to myself, "Isn't this death without proof?" ”。
After that, he seemed to remember something again, and just as he was about to speak, he heard several footsteps in the aisle outside the iron gate.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhang outside the door hurriedly whispered, "Senior brother! Don't worry, the second senior brother is already discussing with the master, and we all believe that you didn't kill the master and Uncle Wang! ”。
After speaking, before Su Wushi could speak, Xiao Zhang had already jumped into another aisle and disappeared into the darkness.
Su Wushi saw that his junior brother had left, so he had no choice but to turn around and lean against the mountain wall and sit on the weedy pile.
He thought to himself, "If Uncle Zhou is the man in black who has cultivated the Devouring of Life Decision, then he went to Lushan that day, and it can indeed be said that he killed people and killed his mouth."
I thought again, "If Uncle Yang went to Lushan with Uncle Zhou, then he may indeed be an accomplice.... But what does this have to do with me? ”。
He couldn't figure it out when he thought about it, why Uncle Wu would connect him with Uncle Zhou, was it because he was also in Lushan at the time?
Moreover, in his impression, although Master Zhou is not smiling and not angry, he respects his master from the bottom of his heart.
Therefore, he really couldn't figure out why his master wanted to harm his master.
Not only that, but in addition to doubts, he is more guilty in his heart right now.
The master has nurturing grace for him, which is not an exaggeration compared to his father.
But he didn't even see the side of the master before he died. But he couldn't even worship at the master's grave.
If there's anything he wants to do most right now.
There was no doubt that he didn't want to find the murderer, he didn't want to excuse himself, and he didn't want to think about everything on this mountain.
He just wanted to stay quietly in front of the master's grave and keep filial piety for three years.
