Chapter 90: Clearing the Clouds and Seeing the Fog
The night passed in a trance, and when Shao Liang woke up early the next morning, there was no longer Mu Yanling and Zhao Er in the room, but that mess was still there, always proving that the three of Shao Liang were drunk last night.
Shao Liang shook his heavy head, then got up and pushed the door out, but saw that there were many Jiuji Gate cultivators shuttling back and forth in the passage not far away, some of them were not in good clothes, and some had already been wrapped in new clothes, Shao Liang didn't need to think about it, he could guess that there must be a lot of Jiuji Gate Xiuzhen disciples crowded in the wing room at this time.
When Shao Liang passed through the crowd and came to the room where the fabrics were stored, he really saw the picture of people coming and going, those Xiuzhen disciples of the Nine Poles Gate were really receiving the clothes in order step by step, and everyone was happy, as if getting back the clothes was as important as retrieving the face, and Mu Yanling and Zhao Er were busy reciting the list at this time, helping the disciples to collect the clothes.
Seeing this situation, Shao Liang couldn't help but sigh that he had done something that was beneficial to the Nine Pole Gate, and the matter of the map could be regarded as canceling each other.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Liang also stepped forward to help Mu Yanling and Zhao Er distribute clothes, and the disciples of Xiuzhen couldn't help but cast respectful glances when they saw Shao Liang appear, which made Shao Liang even a little embarrassed.
"Did you wake up?" Mu Yanling and Zhao Er were busy with each other, and they didn't forget to joke to Shao Yu.
Shao Liang smiled awkwardly and replied, "You two guys, why didn't you call me when you left?"
"Look at you sleeping soundly, don't you want to let you sleep a little longer!" Zhao Er said with a smile.
"Yes, it's time for the young brother to rest more. Mu Yanling echoed.
Shao Liang was moved in his heart, and then replied: "You two work harder than me, why don't you hand over the distribution of clothes to others?"
"It's okay, we're not tired!" Mu Yanling and Zhao Er replied in unison.
Shao Liang was very pleased, and at this moment, a cultivator disciple of the Nine Pole Sect actually ran towards Shao Liang in a hurry, and shouted Shao Qi's name as he ran, Shao Liang thought that this disciple was in a hurry to receive his clothes, but after seeing that he had already been wrapped in new clothes, Shao Liang couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Young junior brother, where are you here?" said the cultivator in a hurry.
Shao Liang said: "Don't worry, what's wrong?"
The cultivator nodded frequently and said, "Uncle Medicine and Uncle Ancestor asked me to come to you and say that I have something to discuss with you, and I ...... I went to your residence, but I didn't find you, I heard from other brothers and sisters, you came this way......"
Shao Liang said curiously: "My master and uncle are looking for me?"
"That's right!"
"Where are they?"
"It's in the main hall!"
"Okay, I'll go over now. ”
After the Xiuzhen disciple who had passed the word left, Shao Liang instructed Mu Yanling and Zhao Er a few more words, then turned around and left the wing room and ran towards the main hall of the Nine Pole Gate.
After arriving at the main hall, Shao Yu saw that there were really only two people in the hall at this time, Yao Luhua and Yao Wuchang, and seeing that the two of them frowned, they seemed to be worried about something.
"Disciple to meet the master and uncle, to meet the master!" the young man bowed and saluted.
"Come in!" Yao Wuchang waved his hand at Shao Qi.
Shao Liang hurriedly ran over, and before he could figure out the situation, Yao Wuchang said straight to the point: "The old man heard from your master, have you investigated the footprints?"
Shao Liang was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the Yao Lu Hua on the side, and after getting the nod of the Yao Lu Hua, Shao Liang nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Shi, after all, someone framed me! I must want to know who it is?"
"Have you figured out who it is?" said Yao Wuchang with a frown.
Shao Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "No ......"
"Then who did you suspect?" Yao Wuchang asked bluntly.
This time Shao Liang was stunned, Shao Liang didn't know how to answer for a while, and when he was hesitating, Yao Luhua on the side said softly: "Shao Liang, don't be afraid, it's just the three of us here, it's okay, you boldly say it, we just make a reference." ”
"Reference?Master, Uncle Ancestor...... Didn't Uncle Shi not let us meddle in this matter?" said Shao Qi deliberately like this.
Yao Wuchang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "You stinky boy, what about the old man?"
"No, no, Uncle Shi, I'm just clarifying this fact!" said Shao Qi.
"That's good. Yao Wuchang took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "The old man didn't allow you to interfere in advance, because he was afraid of startling the snake, but now that there is a new situation, there is not much time left for the old man to observe secretly." ”
"Ah, what's the new situation?" said Shao Qi curiously.
"Well, old man, I'll tell you. Yao Wuchang paused, and said loudly: "Right now, the emperor is ordering the cultivators to help each other to subdue demons and eliminate demons, I heard that this time the movement is very big, and all sects and factions have sent top cultivators, our Nine Poles Sect naturally can't show weakness, but in this way, the old man will lose the opportunity to observe secretly, and his position will appear very passive, in case the murderer leaves, or if he does some new tricks, the old man will be difficult to support, do you understand what the old man means?"
Shao Qi said as if he didn't understand: "Well, I almost understand, Uncle Shi, what do you mean is that you are going to be busy and have no time!
"Haha!" Yao Wuchang laughed and said, "It's not rough, yes, that's the truth." ”
Without waiting for Shao Liang to reply, Yao Luhua on the side followed and said: "Shao Liang, and this time the emperor is to focus on mobilizing the Xiuzhen sect in the Southern Shake Prefecture, but looking at this South Shake Prefecture, there are only our Nine Extremes Gate and the Qing Sect of Wu Xiu, and the Qing Sect is far away from the Imperial City, so the Qing Decision Sect will arrive at our Nine Pole Gate in a few days, and then go to the Imperial City to receive the order." ”
"What......? Then why is the Qing Sect coming to our Nine Pole Gate?" Shao Qi said curiously.
"Yes, that's why Uncle Shi wants to clear the uneasiness in our own door quickly, so it's ......"
"I understand! Master, we have to find out the murderer before the cultivators of the Qingdui faction come? Are we afraid that if the cultivators of the Qingdui faction come, there will be some kind of chaos, won't it be a loss of our face?"
"Haha, that's what you mean. Yao Luhua chuckled.
"Well, disciple understands!"
"So what?" Yao Wuchang immediately interjected, "Shao Baitou, to be honest, you suspected who did it at first?"
Shao Liang pondered for a while, and did not immediately answer the question of medicine impermanence, but changed the topic and said: "Senior Uncle Ancestor, Master Zun, there is one more thing, I have encountered a dark shadow twice at night......"
"What?black shadow?, what black shadow?" Yao Impermanence and Yao Green Flower were stunned.
Shao Yu shook his head helplessly and said: "I don't know who it is, his speed is very fast, and he disappeared in an instant, and I can guarantee that the black shadow must have seen me, but he ......"
"How about him?"
"He didn't make a move on me, and I don't know who he was, but the second time I met him, he went in the direction of Yi Shi, and after I chased Yi Shi, he disappeared. Shao Yu replied truthfully.
"What?Yi Shi?" Yao Wuchang seemed to be a little shocked.
"That's right! Shao Liang said seriously: "I was still thinking about it at the time, I remember that the master once told me that Yi City is a place for foreign cultivators to come to trade, and there will be an entrance and exit in the back mountain, I am still thinking about it...... Could that person have come in through the entrance and exit of the back mountain?"
"How so? There is an enchantment in Yi City. Yao Luhua snapped.
Yao Wuchang muttered thoughtfully: "There is an enchantment, but the enchantment is only useful for external cultivators, if there is a traitor in our door......"
Yao Wuchang stopped talking about this, and when Shao Qi was curious, Yao Wuchang suddenly changed his words, and asked Shao Qi again: "Shao Baitou, you quickly and truthfully tell the old man, who is the person you guess?"
Yao Luhua also echoed: "Yes, Shao Liang, let's say, it's okay, it's just a guess." ”
Shao Liang thought about it, and simply was ruthless, so he blurted out: "Qiu Gongyan!"
"What...... What?
Shao Liang ignored the consternation of the two, and then said in a righteous voice: "Uncle Shizu, Shizun, don't think that I am a narrow-minded person, although I was a little unhappy with Uncle Qiu on Wadang Mountain, but I have never regarded him as an enemy, but since I came to the Nine Pole Gate, his attitude towards me is very indifferent, and even very resistant, this is true, but why do I guess like this, in fact, I am also forced to be helpless, in order to protect myself......"
Immediately afterwards, Shao Liang retold the conversation with Qiu Gongyan in the teaching room, which naturally mentioned that Shao Liang's blind Yao Luhua wanted to date Qiu Gongyan, and Shao Liang also explained the reason for this suspicion, which was the result of Qiu Gongyan's revenge after the lie was exposed.
After listening to Shao Liang's retelling, Yao Luhua's face was a little embarrassed, from the initial anger, anger, and then to crying and laughing later, very uncomfortable.
"Shao Liang, if you dare to spread rumors like this in the future, I will have to punish you severely!" Yao Luhua was angry, and scolded Shao Liang angrily: "This time I think you are a first-time offender, and I will not take you as an example!"
Shao Qi lowered his head reproachfully, and sincerely apologized to Yao Luhua: "Master, I know it's wrong, I'm sorry, I'm very selfish, I only care about using you as a shield, I haven't thought about your feelings, it's me who is wrong......"
"Hmph, how can this kind of thing be a joke?" Yao Luhua turned sideways and stopped looking at Shao Yan.
However, Yao Wuchang said in a serious voice: "Shao Baitou, your guess is reasonable, but didn't you say that the footprints are not the same as all the cultivation disciples in our Nine Extremes Sect?"
"Yes!" Shao Yu nodded firmly: "I'm sure, it's definitely not right, I was still wondering......"
Yao Wuchang nodded several times, and then slowly said to himself: "The footprints are not right, then it means that it is not a person from our Nine Pole Gate, but it can easily enter and exit the Yi City Enchantment, which means that it is a person from our Nine Pole Gate, this is ......"
Yao Wuchang fell into deep thought, but at this moment, Shao Liang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "I thought of it!" ......
