Chapter 64: Investigating the Truth
Hearing Guo Hai's questioning, Wei Wuji continued to tell the story. [No pop-ups]
In the following days, Wei Wuji walked around the forest alone, and accidentally met Wei Li and the others. After leaving, he continued to collect medicine, but was chased by a demonic beast and fled into a valley.
"I panicked, fled into the valley, and finally escaped. Later, they encountered two fierce monsters fighting, and it turned out that they were competing for the Golden Bamboo Snake Fruit. I took advantage of the fact that the demonic beasts couldn't hold each other, and picked the golden bamboo snake fruit and escaped. Two monsters chased after me, and I fled into a cave to escape, and finally escaped and returned to the camp. ”
Wei Wuji said the words he had thought of.
"You are talking nonsense, Wei Wuji, you are the son of a bitch, who robbed us of the Golden Bamboo Snake Fruit, I remember your back very clearly!" Zhang Quan scolded loudly.
"You shut up for me!" Guo Hai was furious, "It's not a shrew scolding the street, it's all for me to restrain a little! Everyone disperses, rests separately, there is no need to watch." I will handle this matter impartially and there will be a result soon. ”
And they went their own way, and went back to their tents to rest.
Guo Hai turned around and asked Wei Hong, asking for his opinion.
"I firmly believe that Wei Wuji will not snatch the medicinal herbs, and besides, with his strength, he will not be able to snatch them. Wei Hong replied.
"On the way into the mountain, you had a good conversation with this waste material, and of course you helped him speak. Wei Li scoffed.
"Regardless of personal relations, what I said is reasonable, unlike this Zhang Quan, who can fall into other people's sins with a back. Wei Hong replied.
"Okay, the battle of tongues is useless, this golden bamboo snake fruit is very important, so the truth of the matter must be investigated. Let's go to the place where the medicine was collected, maybe there will be some clues. Guo Hai said.
"I can't help this, because of the pursuit of the demonic beast, I am in a panic, and I can't remember the location of the medicine collection clearly. Wei Wuji replied.
"I remember the location of that golden bamboo snake fruit, it's about half a day's journey from here, if you walk fast, you can get there in half a day!" Wei Li said hurriedly.
"Alright, you lead the way ahead, let's all go and have a look. Wei Hong also goes along, maybe he will use your knowledge. It's decided, everyone goes to prepare, and leaves right away. This golden bamboo snake fruit is too important, give it to me to take with me, and there is no room for the slightest mistake. ”
After Guo Hai finished speaking, he packed the medicinal herbs in a wooden box, turned around and left, and walked towards his tent.
Wei Li looked Wei Wuji up and down, sneered, and turned to leave.
Zhang Quan looked at Wei Wuji and smiled, and followed Wei Li.
Wei Hong walked over and comforted Wei Wuji, "Brother Wuji, don't worry, I will definitely find evidence to prove your innocence." ”
Wei Wuji smiled and thanked him, and turned around to go.
After a while, everyone gathered together, and Guo Hai also brought two escorts with him. The group left the camp, led by Zhang Quan, and headed towards the location where the medicine was collected.
Everyone galloped all the way, and in less than half a day, they arrived at the place where the medicine was collected.
"It's this golden bamboo, that golden bamboo snake fruit is parasitic on this golden bamboo!" Zhang Quan pointed to the broken golden bamboo and told everyone about the situation at that time.
Guo Hai looked at his surroundings and nodded.
Seeing Guo Hai nodding, Zhang Quan looked at Wei Wuji proudly, "Wei Wuji, you can't point out the location of the medicine collection, you can't explain the source of the golden bamboo snake fruit, see what else you have to say now!"
"Wei Wuji, you carefully recall the terrain, it is best to find the place where the medicine is collected, it will be beneficial to you. Guo Hai looked at Wei Wuji and said.
"Senior, I ran for my life all the way, I didn't pay attention to my surroundings, and now I can't remember it at all. Wei Wuji replied.
"You waste material, I didn't expect to be brave enough to rob my Golden Bamboo Snake Fruit, I have to scrap you today!" Wei Li was furious next to him and walked up quickly.
"Wei Li, do you want to do it?" Guo Hai shouted in a deep voice.
Wei Li was taken aback, hurriedly stopped, hugged his fists and said: "The juniors don't dare, the seniors are the leaders of this medicine collection, please call the shots for the juniors." ”
"Since I was appointed by the family as the leader of this medicine collection, I will naturally deal with it impartially, Wei Wuji just can't remember the location of the medicine collection, and he is a little suspicious, but it doesn't mean that he robbed your Golden Bamboo Snake Fruit. ”
Guo Hai said this, looking at Zhang Quan, "Besides, Zhang Quan's words are also reversed, how can a big living person suddenly disappear?
Zhang Quan heard Guo Hai's question, hurriedly stepped forward and swore to tell the story. As he spoke, he kept moving around the scene, reenacting the scene and demonstrating the whole process to everyone.
"Okay, don't say any more, you've already said it in detail, I already know. Guo Hai impatiently interrupted Zhang Quan to stop his chatter.
Zhang Quan saw that Guo Hai was impatient, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
"Wei Wuji, they said so much, but you stood aside and didn't say a word, without refuting. Now I ask you, do you have anything to justify? If so, just say it, and I will deal with it impartially. Guo Hai asked.
Wei Wuji smiled faintly and stepped forward to reply, "Senior Qiqi, in fact, the evidence is right in front of you, just check and verify it to prove my innocence." ”
Guo Hai was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Wei Wuji, "You have a way to prove it, of course it's the best, let's talk about it." ”
When the other people heard Wei Wuji's words, they also looked over together, staring at Wei Wuji intently.
"You said that the Golden Bamboo Snake Fruit grows on this Golden Bamboo, right?" Wei Wuji pointed to the remnants of the bamboo on the ground, turned to Zhang Quan and asked.
"That's right! Exactly. Zhang Quan replied.
"Well, there is no doubt that the golden bamboo snake fruit is parasitic on the golden bamboo. When Wei Wuji said this, he stopped and glanced at everyone, and his tone increased, "Medicinal herbs are parasitic plants that grow on golden bamboos......
"Wait, I see!"
Wei Hong nodded, with a look of sudden realization on his face, walked quickly to the remnant bamboo, squatted down, and looked at it carefully.
"Things are clear, I can prove Wei Wuji's innocence. Wei Hong stood up and said to everyone.
"You're talking nonsense! Because you have a good relationship with him, that's why you help him speak!" Zhang Quan shouted loudly, "I bet with all my net worth that Wei Wuji is the person I saw!"
"Shut up for me! If you dare to interrupt the conversation again, I will punish you for a crime of disrespect according to the clan rules!" Guo Hai scolded loudly, and the cultivator's momentum came to Zhang Quan.
Zhang was as full as the color of the earth, kicked the ground on his hind legs for a few steps, and sat on the ground with his butt.
punished Zhang Quan, Guo Hai looked at Wei Hong, "Wei Hong, you are a member of your own family, you must not be biased, tell me the reason." ”
"The reason is very simple, the golden bamboo snake fruit is parasitic on the golden bamboo, so there should be a golden bamboo first, and then there is a snake fruit. The golden bamboo snake fruit handed over by Wei Wuji has grown and matured, and the year is more than the year when this golden bamboo grows. ”
Wei Hong looked at everyone and continued,
"The golden bamboo snake fruit has begun to grow, but this golden bamboo has not broken through the soil. Therefore, the golden bamboo snake fruit that Wei Wuji picked was not parasitic on this golden bamboo. ”
