Chapter 60: Opening the Door to Welcome Guests
Outside the gate of the Divine Flame Valley, the monks who flocked to the place expected all kinds of scenes, but the strange scene in front of them exceeded everyone's expectations.
There is only one road into the valley, surrounded by rugged cliffs, although people are enthusiastic under the leadership of agitation at the beginning, but seeing the cliffs on both sides of the road that are easy to ambush on this road are really a little hesitant, everyone is on guard, only the leader of Cangqingzi self-cultivation, seems to be full of care, but he does not dare to gallop ahead, afraid that he will fall into the ambush alone.
Everyone didn't expect that the door that they thought was closed was open without any obstruction, and the two figures, one fat and one thin, stood quietly at the gate as if they had been waiting for everyone to arrive.
The chaotic footsteps stopped abruptly, and the scene suddenly became quiet, more than a hundred pairs of eyes were all staring at the two figures inside the gate, guessing the identities of the two people, and some monks who had done transactions with the Divine Flame Valley had already seen the identity of the other party from the clothes of the two.
The black robe and white flame lace, exclusive to the elders of the Divine Flame Valley, the golden flame pattern on the chest of the black robe, that only one person is qualified to wear it, the current valley master of the Divine Flame Valley.
Jiang Hua in the crowd didn't expect that it would be Xia Lei who appeared at the gate, he hurriedly and inadvertently hid behind the others, although he had already been mentally prepared, his body shape and appearance had also changed a lot under the effect of the body refining duel, but when he saw his acquaintance again, Jiang Hua's first reaction was still afraid that he would be recognized. At this moment, Xia Lei still had a harmless expression, coupled with his slightly chubby figure, all the monks present almost ignored his threat, and people focused on the young man who invisibly revealed his majesty and arrogance.
The strange and quiet scene lasted for nearly five minutes, under the gaze of everyone, the young man in the door suddenly moved, he took a step forward abruptly, the crowd instantly commotioned, the monks standing in the front row except Cang Qingzi all took a step back, and the chain reaction drove the monks behind to take a step or two back, and the morale of the monks who were encouraged by the monks instantly fell to the bottom.
"In the thousands of years since the establishment of the Divine Flame Valley, there have never been so many people of the same generation who have come here, everyone, what advice do you have for coming to my Divine Flame Valley?"
Xia Yan's face was calm, he stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes coldly scanned the people present, no matter what he thought, the millennium faction was bullied in his own hands Xia Yan is city government can't suppress his anger, but the play still has to be played, and he can't let these people have doubts about his next move, so he cleverly grasped that degree.
Cang Qingzi smiled, didn't salute, and opened his mouth to say to Xia Yan,
"Presumably this is the valley master, I have long heard that the current valley master of the Divine Flame Valley is a little doll, I thought it was someone else's nonsense, how could the huge Divine Flame Valley let a young man be in charge, now it seems that the Divine Flame Valley is really unmanned!"
Cang Qingzi was purely testing the attitude of the Divine Flame Valley, he wanted to know whether the other party had only two people guarding the door with full confidence and prepared an ambush or some other purpose, so the tone and words were very polite.
"Hehehe, which famous mountain and grand view is this senior from? Forgive me for being lonely and unheard, Yuanjizhou doesn't seem to have heard of any authentic Taoist masters, but there are one or two famous fake Taoist priests, and you are the one who won't say it!"
Xia Yan bluntly mocked Cang Qingzi but was not angry, he was scheming and calculating, he already had a plan in his heart, the other party did not get angry directly but chose to verbally confront, it seemed that he was young and had no city government, but in fact he had no intention of doing anything, he decided to get straight to the point and see how the other party responded.
"There is no way to judge whether the truth or falsehood of things in the world is true, but the truth of the world is clear from wrong, the Valley of Divine Flame has done dirty things that have caused the anger of the public, and the monks of the world are gathered here today to tell a reason, right and wrong are black and white, you don't pretend to be confused, hand over people!"
"Yes, handover!"
"Friends, the Divine Flame Valley bullies people and robs the people's daughters, and heaven does not tolerate it!"
"As one of the three major forces in Yuanji Prefecture, how can you do such a thing to oppress ordinary people, hurry up and hand over the mother and daughter of the Mu family!"
The shouts one after another sounded in the crowd as Cang Qingzi's words fell, Xia Yan immediately pretended to be stunned and puzzled, he hurriedly clenched his fists and shouted,
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Ladies and gentlemen...... Please make it clear, everyone be quiet for a while!"
Cang Qingzi has been staring at Xia Yan, he has seen Xia Yan's every move, he knows that this is the other party is confused, but he can't understand Xia Yan's purpose for a while, things have come to this point, what's the use of pretending to be confused, do you want to be confused and deny the past, how can you have such a superficial and naïve idea of being the lord of a valley.
Cang Qingzi waved the dust in his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, he was ready to listen to Xia Yan's words.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that there is some misunderstanding between us, I thought that everyone got together to come to the Divine Flame Valley to find trouble, in recent decades, the valley has indeed been weak, there are many people and forces in Yuanji Prefecture who want to take the Divine Flame Valley and replace it, I received news a few days ago, saying that there are a large number of monks gathered, the purpose is my Divine Flame Valley, all the disciples in the valley are ready to swear to the death, but I just heard what everyone meant, it is the Divine Flame Valley that has done something evil that the heavens are angry and resentful, you are here to uphold justice and discuss the law, I only know that it is the Divine Flame Valley that misunderstood everyone, forgive me for not knowing, can anyone tell me what evil things the Divine Flame Valley has done, If it is really a disciple in the valley who did it secretly, the lord of this valley hereby swears that no matter who he is in the valley and what his status is, the Divine Flame Valley will never protect him, and he will hand this person over to everyone to be punished by the monks of the world, in the name of the innocence and justice of the Divine Flame Valley!"
Xia Yan's words made everyone in the audience unclear So, looking at his expression and tone, it didn't look like he was lying, could it be that he really didn't know, it was someone in the Divine Flame Valley who secretly did something and was found to have leaked the news?
Even Jiang Hua was not sure whether Xia Yan knew it or not at first, but Xia Lei's expression betrayed Xia Yan, Jiang Hua had been deliberately avoiding Xia Lei's gaze, but he inadvertently found that when Xia Yan's impassioned words just fell, Xia Lei's face showed a trace of disdain, and his eyes looking at Xia Yan's back were also full of mockery.
Jiang Hua instantly determined the thought in his heart, Xia Yan knew about this matter, but his performance at this time was purposeful, and he definitely didn't want to fool the past, could it be that something had happened in the Divine Flame Valley? Everything was different from what he expected, whether it was good or bad, Jiang Hua couldn't judge it for a while, so he could only wait and see what happened.
Cang Qingzi was not in a hurry, he was really curious about what Xia Yan wanted to do now.
"Since the valley lord is so well aware of the righteousness, then let's say that someone in the Divine Flame Valley coveted the relics of the ancestors of the Mu family, the lord of the original Aoki City, and forcibly took a weak woman of the Mu family's descendants and her young daughter into the valley and imprisoned them, can I ask if there is such a thing?"
Cang Qingzi was concise and to the point, and explained the cause of the matter in one sentence.
"Aoki Castle Mu Family? There is indeed a mother and daughter in the valley recently, but it was my master and his old man, that is, the guests invited by the former valley master, why did they covet treasures and forcibly detain them? Now they are still eating and drinking in the valley, and they have not been treated unfairly, I wonder where did the wrong news of the predecessors come from?"
"This ......"
Xia Yan's answer made Cang Qingzi and the monks present all a little confused, who would have thought that people would directly admit that there was such a thing, but it was not strong at all, but what Xia Yan said was invited, but everyone was not stupid, no one believed Xia Yan's words at all.
"Is it a forcible abduction or an invitation, is it the truth or a lie, you have no evidence, invite people out and let everyone ask in person, if it is really as you said, she admits that she is a guest and has no matter of taking the treasure, everyone apologizes to the Divine Flame Valley and is punished, but if the mother and daughter of the Mu family identify that it is the Divine Flame Valley who bullies people and forcibly grabs the treasure, then everyone will have to reason with you Divine Flame Valley today!"
Cang Qingzi said in a deep voice.
"It should be so! The Divine Flame Valley opens its door to welcome all the monks into the valley to talk about it, just ask you to be a witness, if there is really someone who has a bad heart in the name of the invitation, the Divine Flame Valley will not tolerate it!"
Xia Yan turned sideways and stretched out his hand to invite all the monks into the valley, but none of them dared to move first, or Cang Qingzi took the lead, "You don't have to worry, forgive the Divine Flame Valley and don't dare to do anything with me, besides, there are so many of us, and the Divine Flame Valley is not an opponent in terms of cultivation for him, everyone enters the valley together and makes things clear, but it can't be a trip in vain......"
Everyone thinks about it, this is also the truth, none of the people who came today are good stubble, although it is in someone else's territory, but when it comes to combat power, even if the Divine Flame Valley is one of the three major forces, it is only an ordinary disciple, and there are not so many high-end combat power, and everyone will not suffer a loss when they fight, not to mention that the goal has not been achieved, if they don't enter the valley, wouldn't it be a trip in vain.
All the monks who wanted to understand followed Xia Yan, and while keeping on guard, they observed the surrounding situation and cautiously entered the valley.
"Third Senior Sister, are we going in too, why hasn't Uncle Shi arrived yet?"
"Come in, we're here to listen to the news, we have to go in and keep an eye on it, otherwise when Uncle Shi comes, she won't be able to figure out the situation and it will be easy to go wrong." ”
Shui Qingyan understands that he must go in, but the current situation is confusing, if he doesn't follow up to figure it out, it will be easy to fall into passivity when his uncle appears.
"Water girl, let's go together, this Valley Lord of the Divine Flame Valley doesn't have any good intentions, you must be careful later, and get out of the valley as soon as you find out that things are not good!"
Ji Liang watched the whole process coldly, and said that the bystanders were clear, and he did see through Xia Yan's pretense, but he couldn't understand Xia Yan's intentions, so he wanted to stop there, but when he saw that Luo Rou and the three of them were about to enter the valley, he had no choice but to follow.
"No matter what kind of moth you want to play in Divine Flame Valley, it's best not to hurt my people, otherwise you'll ......"
No one noticed that Ji Liang's eyes, who were walking at the back, flashed with coldness, and the usual gentleness and elegance were like two people, like a male lion who had just woken up from his slumber, exuding an aura that made his prey chill.
