Inkglass Mountain Chapter Ninety-Seven
The two frolicked for a while, unconsciously dispelling the dull and permeable air, and waited until Mo Ling was tired of laughing, and then put on a serious expression and said, "Okay, okay, let's stop making a fuss, let's try to finish the whole thing before the mysterious person brings the meal." β
"It's long overdue. Fu Qin snorted, "Hurry up." β
"Yes, yes, Master Fuqin. Mo Ling grinned and continued, "Among the rest of the people, let's see who is capable of doing this: Mo Zixu, Nandouxing, Hua Yan, Feng Wuying, Lord County Guard, Three Elders of Tianzi Pavilion, Eight Masters, and Qing Kite, these people can undoubtedly do it, and Mr. Gu and Father Zhu, I'm not sure."
"Then remove the people who have no direct conflict of interest with us, including Nandouxing, Hua Yan, Feng Wuying, Lord County Guard, Mr. Gu and Father Zhu, and the only ones left are the Three Elders of the Heavenly Son Pavilion, the Eight Masters, Mo Zixu and Qing Kite. β
"Finally got to the point," Fuqin swallowed, "and you go on." β
"The three elders of the Heavenly Son Pavilion have been living in seclusion all these years, and the affairs of the courtyard have basically been handed over to the eight masters to deal with, and only a major event like the fire in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion half a year ago will alarm them. The three elders of the Tianzi Pavilion had always suspected that Mei Yu had set fire to the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and then the unknown source of the exercise books flooded the streets, and the three elders also suspected that Mei Yu had done it. Mo Zixu once insisted that Mei Yu was the arsonist of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, so it is not difficult to imagine that in addition to the Southern Dipper, the people of the other two major families also hold the same opinion, and even say that Lord County Shou may also think so.
"There is no resentment between the three elders and Demon Ling, and there may be only one purpose for them to frame Demon Ling, that is, they suddenly discovered some clues about the fire in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, so they wanted to use Demon Ling to lure out the charm feather, and then confront it. The first document sent to the county guard just confirmed this, and the person they were really looking for was Mei Yu. Although that document was intercepted by Nan Ruoli, Tianzi Pavilion should send another copy to the county guard's mansion. A day later, Tianzi Pavilion corrected the document and sent it to the county guard again, which was the second document. In other words, the county keeper should have two documents in his hand, and the contents on them are similar, and the most obvious difference is the name.
"Judging from the results, it is worth pondering that Lord Gunshou chose the second document instead of the first one, because it stands to reason that it is Mei Yu, not Moling, who has a conflict of interest with Lord Gunshou. There are two reasons that come to mind, first, Lord County Shou has his own considerations, which makes him think that the wanted Demon Ling is better than the wanted Mei Yu, from this point of view, he is the accomplice of the Tianzi Pavilion; β
"Why are they helping Tianzi Pavilion?" Fu Qin couldn't help but ask.
"Different people, different reasons. Take Mo Zixu as an example, because Mei Yu has joined forces with him, so he can't watch the Tianzi Pavilion frame Mei Yu, if he is a little careless, Mei Yu is really executed, then he will not be able to get his hands on the peerless exercises that he has coveted for a long time. Taking a step back, even if he had a way to keep Mei Yu immortal, it would still be a better choice to let Mo Ling go to prison instead of Mei Yu, firstly, this would be a lower risk, and secondly, he could use this to put pressure on Mei Yu and gain the upper hand in future negotiations. β
"Hearing you say that, Mo Zixu really might do this," Fu Qin gasped, "He has an inexplicable relationship with Tianzi Pavilion, and he is simply a raccoon dog." β
"Let's not jump to conclusions, because if you think about it with a different person, things will look different. β
"Okay, I'll hear you first. β
"Then there are the eight heads of the Heavenly Son Pavilion. A few years ago, they were still practicing martial arts like the other disciples of Tianzi Pavilion, and when the old head did not abdicate, no one would have thought that they would become the new head. One day, one of them suddenly discovered that a certain section of the exercise he was practicing was actually part of the Eight Secret Artsβand we later learned that this person was the Blue Antelope. He was a little smarter than the other seven people, and immediately understood that this was a test for the disciples of the older master, so he devoted himself to studying this exercise, but unfortunately he did not make progress. After hesitating for a long time, he made a bold decision to tell White Tiger about this and asked White Tiger to figure out a way with him. Coincidentally, Baihu had contact with Mo Ling at that time, and knew that Mo Ling's comprehension of the exercises was beyond ordinary people, so he proposed to let Mo Ling study this exercise.
"Leaking the exercises of the Tianzi Pavilion can be light or serious, and the general exercises are not a big deal, but exercises like the Eight Secret Techniques, as long as you dare to say a word, you will be expelled from the Tianzi Pavilion at the least, and you will die at the worst. Blue Antelope hesitated for a long time in this matter, and finally chose to take a risk. Sure enough, with the help of Demon Ling, the martial arts of Blue Antelope and White Tiger improved quickly. When White Tiger's best friend Grizzly Bear saw it, he asked White Tiger what was going on, and White Tiger told Grizzly Bear the reason, so Grizzly Bear also took his exercise book to Moling for help.
"Grizzly bear, this person, is too loyal, unguarded against people, once drunk gaffe, accidentally passed the matter into the ears of the green wolf. Needless to say, the young wolf's personality is needless to say, he wanted to join the gang several times but was rejected by the blue antelope, so he didn't do anything, and told the black eagle and the purple snake about it, and the three of them came forward to threaten the blue antelope, claiming that the red monkey senior brother already knew about it, and if the blue antelope did not agree to his request, he would report the matter to the master.
"At this point, Blue Antelope can only choose to give in. Now among the eight leaders, six of them have climbed all the way to the throne. It can be said that from the very beginning, there have been constant disputes between them, intrigue with each other, and they can't integrate the eight secret methods into the Great Unification at all, and Mo Zixu's hopes for dealing with the Nan family on such a group of people are also in vain. β
"I don't know about these things, and I've never heard you mention them. Fuqin interjected.
"Coincidentally, they became the head of the Tianzi Pavilion one after another, but I was expelled from the sect by the master," Mo Ling smiled helplessly, "But thanks to this incident, I went to the East Styx Yao Mountain, and then met you there." Because that's all in the past, and it's not worth mentioning now. β
β...... In that case, you are still their mentor, why would they harm you?"
"You only see one aspect, Fu Qin," Mo Ling's face was slightly gloomy, "If the Blue Antelope, the White Tiger, and the Grizzly Bear are still a little grateful to me, the Green Wolf, the Black Eagle, and the Purple Snake are completely suspicious of me, they both suspect that I have reservations when explaining the exercises, and they are afraid that I will threaten them with this as a lever. Fuqin, let me ask you, what would you do if it were you?"
"I ......" Fu Qin choked, "I don't know ......"
"There's a very simple way. You just need to drive me to a dead end, first lure me into giving me all the exercises, and then let me die. A terrifying sentence, which was said calmly by Mo Ling, added a little chill, Fu Qin couldn't help but shudder, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Mo Ling didn't go on, but instead said, "Unlike the three elders, what the Eight Masters are afraid of is not Mei Yu, but it happens to be Mo Ling. Then the first document sent to the county guard is worth pondering, and that document does not mention anything about Mo Ling, and puts all the blame on Mei Yu. Unless they knew about the relationship between Demon Ling and Phantom Feather, it was hard to imagine that the first document would have been written by them. β
"That means that the eight masters are not the masterminds behind the scenesβor is there more than eight masterminds?"
"There are many possibilities, so I've never been sure what role the eight masters play behind the scenes, until the green wolf moved on my killing intent just now, and I suddenly realized that as one of the masterminds behind the scenes, the green wolf can't run away. β
"Sure enough," Fu Qin said, "I've always felt that the green wolf is the worst among the eight masters. β
"If you want to say bad, these eight people are all bad, but the methods of the other seven people are not as extreme as the green wolf. β
"What about the White Tiger and the Grizzly Bear, are they so bad too?" Fu Qin asked in confusion, but Mo Ling just smiled and didn't answer.
