Chapter 144: Cross-examination

Before stepping into the threshold, Qi Weinan could feel that the three of them were being watched by the scorching gaze cast from the front, as if the person standing in the audience was not a newcomer, but a rare beast that he had never seen before, and he couldn't wait to see their internal organs clearly.

"Xiaodao Qi Weinan, meet the elders." Qi Weinan opened his mouth first and saluted the four old men in the upper seat, breaking the creepy atmosphere.

Taking advantage of the gap time, she raised her head and saw that the two stupid people following her were still standing upright, and hurriedly gave them several looks.

"Xiao Daosheng one, the green robe to meet the elders." Fortunately, the two of them were not stupid to get home, understood what Qi Weinan meant, and learned from her to salute.

But after a long time, there was still silence in the hall.

The three of them bent down until their waists were sore, and the few old men above didn't hum a word, so they kept bowing, which was really embarrassing.

In the end, it was only after Feng Ziya's salute that the condensed air in the hall burst out.

"Disciples, elders."

"Ziya, it's not more polite, can you find Mo Yao's traces when you go out of the mountain on this trip?" The gray-robed man sitting in the center of the main hall did not ask him about Qi Weinan and the others, but asked about other things first.

Qi Weinan's only remaining patience was almost worn out, but he didn't dare to speak out, so he had to whisper in his heart.

Hey, this big brother, you don't want to know about the things of the Moon Sky Alliance, the master is here to throw the living dead to you, and ask for some bounties by the way, what do you have to talk about in the parents, can you put it aside first, and then talk slowly about the melon seeds after dealing with the affairs of the master!

"Great Elder, forgive the disciple for being incompetent, failing to find any trace of Mo Yao, and still ...... was also deceived and entangled, so he had to come back first with a cheeky face, and asked the great elder to punish him! He buried his head and got to his knees with a "bang".

Sure enough, Feng Ziya and the old man were still talking about it, as if Qi Weinan and the others were air, ignoring them.

However, from the conversation between the two, Qi Weinan learned two clues: first, their Moon Sky Alliance is looking for a person named Mo Yao, judging from the name, it should not be a little minion like Zhang San and Li Si, but an important person; Second, Feng Ziya is really a dull and pure person, otherwise he would not be like Qi Weinan, who first entered Wu'an City, and was cheated of all the money in his body.

After listening to Feng Ziya's statement, the people sitting on the table did not slap the table and scold angrily as expected, but held the white beard and sighed.

"That's it, Ziya, you are kind and simple-hearted, and besides, you grew up in the alliance since you were a child, and you have never been far away, and this person's heart is extremely unpredictable and unguardable, we won't blame you, get up."

"But...... Grand Elder...... The disciple has failed to live up to your expectations...... Deserved to be punished! ”

This person who is scrambling to get the punishment, Qi Weinan is the first time to see it, and I don't know if this guy has any masochistic habits?

"The old man has said that he will not blame you, and the elders here have no intention of punishing you, so you should get up quickly and explain to us where these people come from, and why they are in a hurry to see you in the middle of the night?"

The gray-robed old man raised his hand towards Feng Ziya, and then turned his gaze to Qi Weinan and the three of them.

"Returning to the Great Elder, the three of us are small Taoist cultivators, so we are in such a hurry to come to the Moon Sky Alliance to find you, so naturally we have something important to report." Qi Weinan snatched Feng Ziya's words and bent over himself, but before he could continue, he was interrupted by the gray-robed old man sitting up.

"You're lying!" His voice was sonorous and powerful, and there was no room for the slightest question, "There is no incense lingering on your body at all!" If you are a person who practices the Tao, how can you not know the truth that 'all those who practice fasting and practice the Tao should burn incense and light lamps is the most urgent task'! He slapped the table in anger and jumped up the teacup on the wooden table.

Qi Weinan is not ignorant of the truth of cultivating the Tao and twisting incense, he has often listened to his father's moral gifts since he was a child, saying that "above the nine heavens, only the Tao is respected; Among the ten thousand laws, incense is the first".

Over time, I learned that this incense is as important as the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone of a literati for a cultivator, and there are dozens of incense burners in her family hall alone.

But since she had a conflict with her father, left home, and went to Wu'an City, Qi Weinan naturally left behind this set of great truths that she already hated, not to mention incense and concentrating, and even the spells she practiced became more and more alienated.

I really didn't expect this person to be observant, but also have such a good nose, isn't his special thing is that he has a dog nose?

Qi Weinan thought silently in her heart, and finally found a way to solve it, she hurriedly put her hands together and arched her body again, "Back to the elder's words, Xiaodao is undoubtedly deceived by you, although Xiaodao is not a veritable Taoist priest, it can be regarded as half true. ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? The Great Elder restrained his temper a little and asked with his neck raised.

Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Qi Weinan didn't dare to go around in circles, and said straight to the point, "Xiaodao is also from a Taoist family, and he is the only son of the Maoshan Qi family. ”

When she said this, she raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and her confidence was three points, "And this master of mine is the former elder of the Moon Sky Alliance, Fu Chen." ”

She thought that by proposing Master's name, she would be able to relieve herself a little bit, so that the elders could look at her squarely, but she didn't expect that when the name blurted out, the faces of the people present became iron-blue, and the two soft lips were pursed tightly.

Especially the second elder Yu Chi, his attitude became the most intense, and his hands on the chair were clenched into fists, causing the people around him to pat his arm to remind him.

When I go, shouldn't I be glad to hear the name of the previous alliance? These fierce and vicious people can't be what my master has done to be sorry for them before, right? Robbed the woman you love? Or a treasure that has been stolen for years? That old man in my family, don't be a fool like this!

The atmosphere at the moment is a few points more freezing than the cold outside the house, as if thousands of particles of dust have been frozen and suspended in the air.

"Oh, it turned out to be the beloved disciple of the Five Elders, and he can also be regarded as a disciple of our Moon Sky Alliance, our master and nephew." In the end, it was the Great Elder who could speak well who broke the deadlock, opened his lips slightly, and laughed a few times.

But this smile sounded to Qi Weinan, why did he have a sense of hidden murder? Goosebumps stood up all over my body.

"Xiaodao doesn't dare to be, my master is no longer a member of the Moon Sky Alliance, so naturally he can't climb up to the elders." She hurriedly responded.

After hearing this, the Great Elder just laughed louder, "Hey, where is this Senior Nephew, although the Fifth Elder is no longer in the Alliance, he has a deep friendship with us for many years, and the position of the Fifth Elder in our Moon Sky Alliance will always be reserved for him, as long as he wants to come back, we are welcome at any time!" ”

Although what he said sounded like nothing on the surface, it always felt like there were thorns everywhere.

"Hey, by the way, Master Qi, dare to ask your master if he is still alive?" Hearing the question that the Great Elder asked, Qi Weinan was completely dumbfounded, who would ask you about the topic of whether your master is dead or not!

What if they say they are dead and they don't believe it behind their backs? If they say they are not dead, what if they take the guy up overnight to seek revenge on my master who is a pit disciple?

Qi Weinan pondered in his head for a while, and finally found a neutral way to skillfully resolve this difficult question.
