Chapter 54: Lies to confuse the public
The closer they get to the Qilin Mountain, the more intense the fragrance of the acacia flowers, when approaching the Jade Emperor Temple, the lush locust trees of the Qilin Mountain appear in front of everyone's eyes, the locust flowers that have only half a month of flowering period, at this time are blooming delicately, and they have been blooming for more than two months.
The Jade Emperor Temple is not big, the low wall can't cover the huge locust tree inside, the pale yellow locust flowers are more gorgeous and dazzling than the white locust flowers of Qilin Mountain, the ground is full of fallen leaves, obviously no one has cleaned it for a long time.
There is a big furnace in the wall, there are three incense sticks inserted on it, the furnace is facing the gate of the Jade Emperor Temple, the gate is directly opposite a statue of the Jade Emperor, and there are two smaller statues of the gods next to the statue of the Jade Emperor. Looking up, the temple was covered with cobwebs, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of ash.
When everyone entered the temple, the woman was kowtowing and vows, and she thanked loudly: "Thank you to the Jade Emperor for the medicine, and the women are grateful to Dade, and they will definitely come to offer incense every day in the future, thank you Jade Emperor, thank you Jade Emperor..."
"Mother, why did you come here, you see, this is my mother, she was still sick yesterday, and today she came here to make a vow." The boy had lifted the woman up and proudly flaunted to the crowd.
Everyone looked at each other, obviously a little unbelievable, even if the best elixir was, it couldn't get better so quickly, and even the thick sores on her face didn't leave a single scar, as if she had never been sick.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, the young man was a little anxious, so he took the woman's hand and said hurriedly: "Mother, you tell them that what I said is true, it was really the Jade Emperor's manifestation that cured your illness."
The woman patted his hand and smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, what my son said is true, yesterday an immortal did give me a rune paper, and I drank the rune water and it was completely fine."
They were still very skeptical, Zhang Yuheng couldn't hold his breath the most, and hurriedly asked, "Where are the immortals you are talking about?"
"Like, where?"
The crowd began to ask questions, and the scene was very chaotic.
Ji Nuan has been watching around since he came here, and he has not found any suspicious people, nor has he had the slightest demonic aura.
Just when everyone was talking, the Taoist suddenly appeared in front of everyone out of thin air. At this time, he was holding a whisk, and his face was full of anger: "This is the Jade Emperor Temple, which is a pure place, why are you making noise here?"
The crowd fell silent, and the woman and the boy fell to their knees as soon as they saw him, prostrating and chanting, "Thank you to the immortals for saving me, thank you to the immortals..."
The Taoist seemed to have only noticed the two of them now, he touched his beard, then reached out to help the woman up, and said with a smile: "Get up, you don't have to be polite, this is what this immortal should do, it's just these people...". He frowned again before he finished speaking, and then kept shaking his head.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and suddenly one of them took the lead in kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging: "Please ask the immortals to save us"!
The others also knelt down and pleaded, "Ask the immortals to save us!
The Taoist chief glanced at Ji Nuan and the four of them, then touched his beard again, shook his head and turned around, and said mysteriously: "It's not that this immortal is unwilling to save you, it's really your heinous crime, and this immortal can't do anything."
When the people heard this, they stopped crying and pleading, and they looked at me, and I looked at you, but they didn't know what was going on.
Zhang Yuning immediately asked respectfully: "What do you mean by the immortal's words?" He is an honest person, and he really believes that he is an immortal.
Yu Man was obviously dissatisfied, glared at him fiercely, and he grinned at her, completely unaware of why.
The Taoist chief slowly turned around, pointed at Qilin Mountain with a whisk, shook his head and sighed: "You are ignorant! What kind of demon beast is in Qilin Mountain, it is an ancient divine beast, it has been living here since Pangu opened the sky, but the Qin clan united with the people of Duxi to mercilessly kill it, and Qin Sang was the first person to condemn the gods."
Everyone was amazed when they heard this, that demon beast killed the people, and the people of the Immortal Gate killed it, which is the desire of the people, and it would be condemned by the gods because of this? And the Qin Sect Master has always had a lofty position in their hearts, even if they were all locked up in Yueyang City this time, although they were resentful, they also knew that this fact was a helpless move.
The Taoist continued to shake his head and said: "This is not the worst, the acacia flowers blooming all over the Qilin Mountain are the blessings that the flower god gives you, but not only do you not know how to be grateful, but you actually go to the Qilin Mountain to cut down wantonly, so that the gods are angry, and the immortals are powerless."
They were already afraid of death, but when they heard him tell him so truly, they felt that there was no hope of life, and some of them were so frightened that they began to cry.
Ji Nuan was a little annoyed, not to mention whether there was a Jade Emperor in the world, these words were full of loopholes as soon as she heard them, she said angrily: "It's nonsense, that demon beast harmed the people of Yueyang, and it is only natural that Duxi sent people to get rid of it." And the cutting down of trees is clearly a matter after the people are sick, why do you say that the gods have sinned"?
The long man's face changed abruptly, his eyes glared at Ji Nuan viciously, and then he laughed out loud: "Haha... The people of Twilight Creek have always been self-assured, and if you have a way to save them, why do you ask me here?"
His words obviously touched Ji Nuan's weakness, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Yu Man was even more angry, directly pulled out his sword, pointed at him and roared: "Demon Dao, don't confuse people's hearts, you say we can't save them, then you can"?
The woman immediately took Yu Man's hand holding the sword, and persuaded with an anxious face: "Girl, I beg you, don't do it, he is really a fairy, and if you offend the fairy, it will not end well."
Yu Man was already angry, and she didn't like other people's intimate contact, so she immediately raised her hand to shake off the woman's hand.
The woman fell to the ground with a heavy crumbling and wailing, "Oops, oops..."
Yu Man was stunned, she obviously didn't use very much force, but the woman did hit the ground, she looked up at Ji Nuan suspiciously.
Ji Nuan nodded to her, she naturally believed her.
The young man immediately pulled up the woman on the ground, pointed at Yu Man angrily and scolded: "You deceive people too much, what's so great about you cultivators, so many people have died in Yueyang recently, but you are all fine, who knows if you did it deliberately?"
"You...", Yu Man was angry and immediately pointed his sword at him, Ji Nuan hurriedly pulled her and shook her head, she finally reluctantly withdrew her hand, still glaring angrily.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, my senior sister didn't mean it, she just has a bad temper and is not malicious", Ji Nuan bent down deeply.
The woman was already good, but seeing that Ji Nuan's attitude was sincere and she was not seriously injured, she immediately reached out to help her up, and said with a smile, "I'm fine, I don't blame her."
Ji Nuan nodded gratefully, smiled at the woman, and then asked the Daoist, "Since the Daoist can save the eldest mother, why can't he also save them." She didn't believe him, but if he could really save people, it didn't matter if she begged him.
The woman immediately pleaded, "Immortals, save them!"
The Dao Chief shook his head and sighed: "It's not that the immortals don't want to save them, it's the gods who have condemned them, how dare the immortals interfere." This immortal also thinks of your sincerity, and he can't bear it, so he gives a helping hand. I can't imagine that you are so ignorant, bringing so many people to make trouble in front of the Jade Emperor, if you knew this, this immortal should not have saved you."
When the people heard this, they panicked again, kowtowing and crying and pleading: "Please ask the immortals to save us! We will definitely be grateful to Dade, and come to worship the Jade Emperor every day in the future, please..."
Zhang Yuning also began to plead, "Immortals, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, beg the immortals to think of a way"!
They all stopped wailing and looked at the man expectantly, only to see that he still shook his head and said, "You still don't understand! The key to this matter is not me, but them." He suddenly pointed at Ji Nuan and the others, his face full of anger.
The people looked at him by the hand, but they still did not understand what he meant. Although the people in the Xianmen failed to cure their illness, they did their best, and they really couldn't understand what he meant.
The Dao Leader continued: "It was their people from Duxi who killed the Divine Beast, and it was also the people of their Qin Mansion who led people to cut down trees, you are ordinary people, if you didn't believe in the wrong person, there would be no such disaster." It's a pity that you are still stubborn, and you are really hopeless." He turned around angrily, a wicked smile curling into his mouth.
The crowd was in an uproar again, not knowing what to do.
Where can Yu Man endure it, he has already walked behind him, put the sword on the back of his neck, and said angrily: "Demon Dao, don't want to bewitch people's hearts, you must have poisoned them, quickly hand over the antidote, otherwise..."
Before Yu Man finished speaking, the Dao Chang suddenly turned around, Yu Man was startled, and then with a force in his hand, the sword pierced directly through his neck. He grinned, slowly retreated under the surprised gaze of everyone, as soon as his neck left the sword body, the wound immediately healed, there was not the slightest trace of blood, not even the sword in Yu Man's hand did not leave a trace of blood.
Yu Man also began to get nervous, and the hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble, how could the speed of wound healing be matched by a monk or a demon, could it be that he was really an immortal.
Before she could come back to her senses, the long man waved the dust in his hand, and she was immediately sent flying.
Fortunately, Ji Nuan's eyes quickly helped her in time, and she said with concern: "Yu Man, are you okay?"
Yu Man shook his head, still glaring at the Dao Chief, but his expression was obviously a little flustered.
Ji Nuan smiled at her and said, "It's okay, I'm here"!
Those people who were originally skeptical are now convinced, and there is no one in the crowd who suddenly said: "Immortals, since these are the faults of the people in their hundred sects, then you can punish them!
"Ask the immortals to save us! They knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, not even knowing that the thick sores on their foreheads had been broken, and the blood-red water was flowing down their foreheads, which was heart-wrenching and a little hideous and terrifying.
Yu Man glared at everyone angrily, these people did not hesitate to let them bear the guilt in order to survive, which is really hateful. She lifted her sword again, and was about to explode. Ji Nuan hurriedly held her hand and shook her head at her, and she finally reluctantly let it go.
The Taoist turned around and said, "That divine beast was originally the mount of the Jade Emperor, and now it has been ruthlessly killed by that Song Emperor, how can the Jade Emperor easily spare you, unless..."
Ji Nuan was shocked, feeling that he was surrounded by a conspiracy, and even if he was too late to withdraw at this time.
Sure enough, the Dao chief paused and said sharply: "Unless, kill Song Jue, and abolish a hundred gates."
Everyone's hearts sank, the Immortal Family Baimen has always had a lofty position in their hearts, and Song Jue has killed all the demons, and he is the person they have always respected. What's more, they have no power to restrain the chicken, how can they kill the people in the fairy gate?
If he is really an immortal, how can he not want to save people, but want to kill people instead? Ji Nuan glared at him angrily, but he looked calm and relaxed, obviously everything was under his control.
It didn't take long for someone in the crowd to stand up, either in the pent-up anger or dying and struggling, and he mustered up the courage and roared: "Kill Song Jue, abolish a hundred gates."
When the others saw someone taking the lead, they also stood up and roared angrily: "Kill Song Jue, abolish a hundred gates, kill Song Jue, abolish a hundred gates..."
