Chapter 74: Maybe It Was Wrong From the Beginning
Jingjiu came to the shore, and the river slid down from the white clothes like a waterfall.
The sergeants on the south-facing wall were running, not knowing what was happening.
Jing Jiu glanced over there, and used Jian Yuan to steam the water on his body, and the whole person was shrouded in a layer of white mist.
"Now you're still asking me why I came to Chaoyang City?"
Zhao Luoyue's voice sounded outside the mist.
Jing Jiu knew why the sergeant in Chaonan City was so nervous, and thought that she had alarmed many people when she drove her sword out of the city.
He didn't answer the question because she wasn't wrong.
What happened to Liu Shisui was all expected by him, but after all, he still had to take a look to rest assured.
Zhao Luoyue asked, "Did you find what you were looking for?"
Jing Jiu hummed.
Zhao Luoyue didn't ask anything more.
Jing Jiu looked at her and said, "Do you want to check again?"
Zhao Luoyue also hummed.
"This matter actually has nothing to do with Thunder Soul Wood. ”
Jing Jiu looked at her and said, "If the ascension fails, the reason is only because there is a problem with the formation. ”
Zhao Luoyue said: "If Lei Poyun dares to steal the Bihu Peak under the Thunder Soul Tree, he dares to use his hands and feet on the formation materials. ”
These two things are not related, but the inference does make sense.
Jing Jiu said: "The array is at the peak of the end of the gods, and he can't move his hands and feet. ”
Zhao Luoyue thought to herself that she didn't see any traces of the formation at the top of the peak, not even a trace of residual breath.
"Vanishing is the name of that formation. ”
"It won't leave any traces. ”
Zhao Luoyue said: "The smoke is gone...... It's an unlucky name. ”
Jing Jiu said: "The ascension of a cultivator is death for those who remain in this world, and it is not a happy thing in the first place. ”
Zhao Luoyue was silent for a while, and said, "No wonder Uncle Ancestor has soared, and there are not many people in the Nine Peaks of the Shenyun Sect who are really happy. ”
Jing Jiu didn't speak.
Zhao Luoyue said: "If there is no problem with the materials, how can there be a problem with the formation?"
"Probably...... The formation that Jingyang Zhenren learned back then was a mistake. ”
Jing Jiu said with a smile.
His smile faded.
。。。。。。
Jing Jiu and Zhao Luoyue left Chaonan City and walked through the mountains, not knowing where they were.
On the side of the Shenyun Sect, Liu Shisui finally woke up, his hot skin returned to normal temperature, his mind was not affected, it didn't seem to have changed, no one knew, when he looked at himself in the bronze mirror, he could occasionally see a bewitching red in the deepest part of his pupil.
The next day, Liu Shisui was imprisoned in the Sword Prison, and no matter how angry Elder Bai Rujing was, he couldn't change Shangdefeng's decision.
Because Shangdefeng suspected that in the battle of eliminating demons in the muddy water, Liu Shisui secretly swallowed the demon pill of the ghost mrigal.
Devouring the Demon Pill can help cultivators quickly improve their realm, but it is very likely to pollute the Dao heart and make cultivators go mad.
For the Xuanmen Sect, this is an absolutely unacceptable behavior, and for the Xuanyun Sect, it is a serious crime against the sword law.
Even if Liu Shisui was a natural Dao species who was highly expected by the sect, if he really did such a thing, even the lightest punishment would be to abolish his cultivation and expel him from the Zhenyun Sect.
In the following time, Shang Defeng interrogated Liu Shisui extremely harshly, and finally even executed.
The outcome of the interrogation was somewhat unexpected.
Liu Shisui suddenly fell unconscious by the muddy water, as well as many visions such as his body being hot and his Dao pulse suddenly sick, all showed that he had indeed swallowed the demon pill.
But neither the examination of the Shiyue Peak commanders nor Chi Yan's use of the sword heart to listen to the pulse, could not find direct evidence in his body.
It stands to reason that since there is no evidence, the person should be released, but this matter is so weird, where is Shangdefeng willing to close the case.
Yuan Qijing personally ordered that Liu Shisui was still locked up in the Sword Prison and that no one was allowed to visit.
By now, whether it was Elder Bai Rujing or those young disciples of Liang Wangfeng, they had actually believed in Shangde Feng's judgment.
So no one went to visit Liu Shisui.
No matter how Shang Defeng tortured, Liu Shisui remained silent, no matter how painful it was, he refused to even say a word of swearing.
He sat quietly in the cell where he could not see the light of day, his scarred face full of stubbornness, but also so lonely.
。。。。。。
Yan Yun Jiufeng was shocked.
On the banks of the Wash Sword Creek, it is common to hear discussions about this matter, either unbelieving or sympathetic, but most of them are indifferent and contemptuous.
This kind of indifference and contempt comes from the disappointment of Liu Shisui, since he is deeply valued by the sect, why is he so anxious and messes up his Dao heart.
Gu Qing was practicing swords in Shenmo Peak, and the news came a little late, and when he knew about it, Liu Shisui had been locked up for more than ten days.
He felt that there was something wrong with this matter, because he had been in contact with Liu Shisui several times, and he didn't believe that Liu Shisui would steal the Demon Pill at all.
If Liu Shisui continues to be locked up in the dark sword prison, for a long time, the path of cultivation will suffer great setbacks, or even be cut off.
But he is now only a disciple of Chengjian who lives in the end of the god peak, how can he help Liu Shisui?
At this time, he remembered what Jing Jiu said to himself before leaving: If there is something, look for a monkey.
Gu Qing is a very smart person, and he has already figured out the meaning of this sentence.
In the eyes of many people, the master and servant of Jingjiu and Liu Shisui have gradually drifted apart, only Gu Qing knows the real relationship between Jingjiu and Liu Shisui, such as those bamboos, and those instructions, he is very sure that for Jingjiu, only Liu Shisui's affairs in the Nine Peaks of Shenyun are things.
Then the meaning of this sentence is: If something happens to Liu Shisui, go to the monkey.
。。。。。。
Gu Qing walked outside the wooden house, smashed the tree with his fist a few times, and then whined twice.
The sound of branches and leaves bending in the woods and the cries of apes.
A dozen apes came around the hut and surrounded him.
Gu Qing can learn monkey calls now, but it doesn't mean that he can use these calls to explain this matter.
He looked at the apes and spoke at a slow pace, in standard pronunciation, to tell them back and forth.
The apes scratched their ears and cheeks in a hurry, pointing at him and screaming.
Gu Qing knew that they were scolding themselves, spread their hands, very innocent, and thought to themselves, what can I do?
A small monkey climbed into the hut through the window, grabbed a piece of paper, and kept waving it.
Gu Qing slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, why was he so stupid?
The apes spread their arms, also with an innocent face, thinking to themselves Do you still know?
After grinding the ink, spreading out the blank paper, what to write, Gu Qing made another difficulty.
Because he had no idea who the letter would be delivered to later.
After a few deliberations, he finally wrote a few very simple sentences, without forgetting the pen he held in his left hand.
"I don't know who you are, anyway, Liu Shisui please. ”
。。。。。。
The next day.
Liu Shisui was released.
Whether it was the ordinary disciples on the banks of the Washing Sword Creek or the people in the Xuanyun Sect, they all felt so surprised.
Shangdefeng did not give any explanation.
No one went to pick up Liu Shisui.
When Liu Shisui returned to Tianguang Peak, he didn't see his master Bai Rujing, and he was greeted by countless somewhat unfamiliar eyes.
In the middle of the night, Gu Han came.
"For the sake of the right path in the world, some sacrifices are worth it. ”
Gu Han's hand fell on his shoulder and said comfortingly: "Senior Brother wanted to come over in person, but he was worried about falling into the eyes of others. ”
Liu Shisui asked: "Why did you let me go to the German summit? ”
Gu Han said: "Naturally, it was the master and his old man who spoke. ”
Thinking that this matter was personally arranged by the head of the house, Liu Shisui felt that the weight on her shoulders became heavier and heavier.
After Gu Han left, he sat in front of the window and looked at the oil lamp and was silent for a long time.
He suddenly missed Jingjiu very much, or missed the days when he was in a small mountain village, by the pond, under the big tree, listening to the sound of cicadas.
