Chapter 141: Visitation
Standing in front of everyone was a bald little Taoist priest, his eyes were full of surprise, and the Taoist robe on his body was a little worn, obviously worn for many years.
When I saw them, I was completely stunned.
"How could it be your ......?"
The crowd in front of me slowly dispersed, and Xu Youqiang walked out of the middle, looking at me with sadness in his eyes.
"Sorry bro, we're late."
There are already a few little Taoist priests who are helping me heal my wounds and stop the bleeding, but I am tied to the shelf by iron chains, and I am afraid that I will not be able to break the iron chain without holding pliers.
But after they appeared, the flame of hope in my heart rose again, and the joy of seeing my friends diluted a lot of despair in my heart.
"Why are you here? Are they allowing you in? I didn't say my name directly, Xu Youqiang looked at me and nodded slowly.
Xu Youqiang looked a lot haggard, the whole person was listless, and the hair that grew out was mixed with a piece of gray, it seems that he has been angry because of my problem during this time.
"We told Governor Matsucho that he came to persuade you to confess his sins, so he agreed to let us in." Xu opened his mouth again, his voice was a little choked, "Brother, I'm sorry, we couldn't do anything..."
After a long time, I learned that Xu Youqiang knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Changxia Daoist because of my problem, but even this did not exchange his father's softness.
He even didn't agree to gamble on the reputation of the Quanzhen Sect to rescue me, and when I was locked up here, Changxia Daoist had already sent a notice, saying that I had nothing to do with the Quanzhen Sect from now on.
I understood this truth a long time ago, but I have never had such a deep understanding as now.
Now I don't know what will happen to me next, and after some psychological struggle, I don't care if there are other people here, and I told Xu Youqiang what the fox demon and Hu Xiaojiu told me.
I thought that the words I said would be exchanged for strong reactions from other people, but I didn't expect them to say nothing after they looked at each other.
This strange silence overwhelmed me even more.
"Brother Li."
One of the little Taoist priests whispered: "We believe you, in fact, we came here this time because we also suspect that there is something wrong with orthodoxy. ”
Another little Taoist priest emphasized: "I don't know about us, and now the other companions in the Taoist Association are also beginning to be suspicious. ”
It was only after their babbling explanations that it dawned on me.
It turned out that it was precisely because when I was at Tiger Roaring Cliff before, I publicly exposed the despicable behavior of orthodoxy in private, which made many people suspicious.
After coming back, he spread the matter to a hundred, those Taoist weapons were all damaged, there were obvious traces of man-made, and when the orthodox people saw them, they showed a weak expression one by one.
The facts are now becoming more and more obvious, except that they have ghosts in their hearts, and they cannot think of a second answer that can explain these things.
"We discussed it for a while, and we felt that there was something wrong with orthodox people, after all, we had just obtained the Taoist priest certificate, so we could only choose to tell the elders of our own sect."
A flat-headed little Taoist priest smiled bitterly, "But they don't believe what we say at all, and they also say that we are talking nonsense, and they are deliberately causing trouble." ”
This kind of reaction is actually what I expected, just with the power and status of the orthodox in the Taoist Association now, even if they have noticed the abnormality, they will definitely not fall out with the orthodox on the surface.
After all, most of the economic resources of the Taoist Association are to be orthodox.
"Li Sheng." After coming in, Xu Youqiang finally spoke again, his voice was extremely hoarse, "Han Feng unilaterally stopped all financial donations to the Taoist Association for a while, and ......"
Xu Youqiang looked a little hesitant, and after a long time he made up his mind: "And apply to transfer from the orthodox to the Quanzhen sect and become the junior disciple of you and me." ”
"What?"
I was shocked by the truth of this matter, even if the relationship between me and him eased a lot before, but Han Feng has now decided to inherit the family business, and it is estimated that he will not have the opportunity to return to the Taoist Association in the future, what is he doing this for?
Wrong! Suddenly, I noticed a strange feeling.
At this time, Han Feng suddenly stopped donating funds, and suddenly wanted to leave the Dao Association, these things, should not be counted on me by Xuan Yichang!
It's no wonder that when Xuan Yichang saw me, his teeth itched with hatred, because because of me, they lost a lot of income, so it's no wonder that they don't hate me.
There is also the private collusion between Chief Xuan and Chief Songchang!
Thinking of this, a sense of urgency made me speak decisively: "You guys go out first, I have something to say to Xu Youqiang alone." ”
After the little Taoist priests present looked at each other, no one said anything, and left the room one after another, leaving me and Xu Youqiang again.
Looking at the guilt on my friend's face, I sighed and told him the truth.
"Chief Xuanyi and Chief Songchang colluded in private, and the Criminal Law Hall has now been reduced to a puppet of orthodoxy."
After my words, Xu Youqiang's eyes widened a little, showing disbelief.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of the private relationship between Genitichi and Matsucho Dao.
"No matter what, I will never admit the charges they have imposed on me, but you must be careful."
I looked at him cautiously, "Now the only people who know the truth of the Taoist Association are you and me, those little Taoist priests outside are half-understood, these truths will need someone to push them out sooner or later, if I am not there, then that person can only be you." ”
Xu Youqiang looked at me and gritted his teeth, nodded silently, and by the faint light, I seemed to be able to see tears flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of agitation in the distance.
"Xu Youqiang, hurry up, they are already urging, let's hurry up!"
Listening to the shouts outside, I nodded at Xu Youqiang: "Don't worry, I'll be fine, if I can really survive." ”
I paused, "Then one day, I will come back and make all these truths public!" ”
"Good!" Xu Youqiang patted my chest again, "No matter when and where, I will stand by your side, take care!" ”
"Take care!"
After they left, the room fell silent again.
I was in a trance, and I always felt as if they had never been here, and the pain in my body had gradually dissipated.
Just when my consciousness was a little hazy, the sound of the door opening sounded again, and the sound of heavy footsteps was getting closer.
"You're hard-hitting."
The cold voice of Matsucho Dao Chang came, and I looked up at him, mockingly hooking the corners of my mouth.
"No matter how much you mistreat me, I won't admit what I haven't done, and you don't want me to give in!"
