The Battle of Affection Section 1: Doubt

Without any stops, after a day and a night of flying, through the darkness of the outer ring of broken rock, Si Dao returned to the Hehuan Sect again.

As soon as he entered the sect, Si Dao was surrounded by a crowd. There are a lot of people, as if they have been waiting for a long time, which is surprising and reasonable.

After all, Si Dao is the hero who saved the saint.

However, Si Dao soon discovered the strangeness of the atmosphere. The eyes of the people around him were very cold, there was no joy, not like congratulations, but like interrogation.

There were a lot of people present, not only Qi refining disciples, but also many foundation building senior brothers, as well as a few Jiedan seniors. Among them, the leader is Jiang Yichen.

Not only that, but a round ball of light floated in front of everyone. It was a blue ball of light. This blue ball of light is a miniature model of the world.

There are two red lines on the light globe that record the time and show the location. The two lines coincide with each other, and they are the two lines of the priest and the position of the saint. Because the Holy Maiden Huanshi is in Si Dao's body, this is Si Dao's behavior path.

Generally speaking, the journey of a Hehuan disciple is his personal privacy, and he should report and record it privately with the master and uncle, rather than openly revealing it in front of everyone. This kind of behavior is very unfriendly to the priest, and it is full of distrust.

"Si Dao, the reason why we are like this is to inquire about the assassination of the Holy Maiden, and to track down the traitors of Hehuan. Shimen has entrusted this matter to me, I hope you can understand. Jiang Yichen said.

He was still mild-mannered, but his tone was colder than usual.

"Yes, Si Dao will fully cooperate. Si Dao nodded in agreement.

"So, let's talk about what happened in the next twenty days. From the assassination of the Holy Maiden to the return to the sect!"

"Yes, Uncle Jiang. ”

Si Dao's face remained unchanged, and he spoke methodically, and the people around him listened very carefully. When the priest touched on the key point, many people frowned.

"That is to say, the reason why you stayed for many days and didn't catch up with the Hehuan Stone Boat was because you were suddenly injured? Senior Sister He was also injured in order to save you? The Black Moon Organization seized this point and restrained you. ”

After Si Dao finished speaking, Jiang Yichen opened his mouth to ask.

"Yes. Si Dao admitted. He thought for a moment and added, "However, in Sword Mountain, the disciple is guided by the white light, and his will is separated from the physical body. In this way, the disciple will be injured!"

"White light? It should be another will to break in! If what you said is true, then in Sword Mountain, you have already been targeted! However, you can separate your will from your physical body with the Qi Refining Realm, and your talent is still unimaginable. ”

Jiang Yichen explained. But the people around me didn't believe it very much. They didn't think Si Dao had such talent. Moreover, this so-called white light may be completely fabricated by Si Dao out of thin air. In contrast, the crowd knows one thing better.

If it weren't for Si Dao's delay, the saint would have boarded the Hehuan stone ship a long time ago, and this assassination would not have happened at all.

"You just said that the people of the Black Moon let you go? That's why you're safe. Jiang Yichen continued to ask. All he asked was what everyone thought was strange. In fact, Si Dao found it just as incredible.

"Yes!" said Si Dao, affirming.

"You said, not long after you left Yancheng, not long after you returned to Dongtu, the Datong mortal world began to discuss the assassination of the Holy Maiden!"

"Yes!"

"You said that you met a monk who was the last time you went out to try, a monk who drank and talked nonsense. During the last trial, it was because of this monk's sip of wine that you broke through your cultivation?"

"Yes!"

"Three days ago, in the Spring Kingdom, this monk met a disciple of the Mo family by chance and learned the inside story of the assassination of the Holy Maiden!"

"Yes!"

After four consecutive "yes", the eyes of the people around him changed. They originally looked at Si Dao with suspicious eyes, but at the moment they hated, as if Si Dao was the enemy of the sect. In this regard, Si Dao didn't understand at all, what he said was true, why everyone was like this.

"Do you know!" Jiang Yichen sensed Si Dao's confusion, "Last time, at the end of your trial, when you reported to the Daoist uncle, the sect had already inquired about the list of strong people in the Lanjing Temple in the Western Regions. However, the sect did not find a master named 'Quit Killing'. In the list of scattered cultivators in the past hundred years, there are no strong people dressed as monks. ”

"......?!" Si Dao was stunned, only thinking that it was impossible. However, thinking about it carefully, he really did not know the origin of the monk who quit killing. Even, although the other party is dressed as a monk, he does not have the demeanor of a monk at all.

"Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is no registration. After all, there's no shortage of amazing talent in the world. So, we didn't look into it at the time. Moreover, your teacher doesn't think what you say is false. Jiang Yichen explained.

After speaking, Si Dao's Daoist uncle stood up and nodded, agreeing with Jiang Yichen's words.

Having said that, just because there were no doubts at the time doesn't mean there are no doubts now. The people present began to believe that the so-called abstinence from killing monks was nothing more than a fictional character and a lie.

After Si Dao heard this information, before he could calm down, he heard more information that he was caught off guard.

"One more thing. The disciples of the Mo family did come to the Hehuan Sect very early, but they did not stay in Hehuan, but returned to the Western Regions early. With such an important matter in place, I don't think the other party will stay in the Spring Country for so long. Therefore, it stands to reason that even if the monk who quits killing really exists, he should not have met a disciple of the Mo family three days ago. Jiang Yichen continued.

What Jiang Yichen said was clear to everyone present. When Si Dao finished narrating, everyone felt very weird, which is why they were so resentful. In the eyes of everyone, he is lying openly.

"Uncle Shi suspects me of being a traitor?" asked Si Dao.

He was questioned by everyone, but he remained calm.

"I don't think any Hehuan disciple will betray the master. But, in all fairness, how do you think the teacher treats you?"

"The master has nurtured me. ”

"Yes, it's the grace of nurturing! But perhaps, it's the only grace of nurturing. You grew up in Hehuan since you were a child, unlike other disciples, who have seen the ordinariness of the outside world. So, you are accustomed to the beauty of Acacia Wonderland. Although this place is beautiful, for a five-year-old child, it lacks too much human affection, right?" Jiang Yichen looked at Si Dao, wanting to see something from Si Dao's expression.

Si Dao frowned slightly, but he still didn't show any panic.

Regarding Jiang Yichen's speculation, everyone present agreed. Except for Si Dao, everyone really couldn't think of anyone else who could betray the sect. Only Si Dao could he resent the Hehuan Sect and betray his master.

And, there is one more proof of this. Since returning from the trial, Si Dao has become like a different person. All his actions change. Originally, he was just a waste material, but he suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds, and his Dao heart was strong, and he became the best among his fellow disciples.

"Is it possible that when you first went out to practice, you met the people of the Black Moon. The monk who quit killing is the person of the Black Moon. At that time, you have the heart of rebellion!" Jiang Yichen directly pointed the finger at Si Dao, "Moreover, Ye Mu said that after only a few days of separation from you, your cultivation has changed by leaps and bounds. ”

After Jiang Yichen finished speaking, Ye Mu stood up from the crowd.

Ye Mu glanced at everyone, then at Si Dao, and slowly said to Jiang Yichen: "A year ago, after I left the sect, I met Si Dao in the forest. He should have just fallen off a thousand paper cranes. At that time, he only had the cultivation of the eighth layer of the day after tomorrow. A few days later, I met him again, and he had already attained perfection. Moreover, it was in these few days that he met the so-called monk who quit killing. ”

Ye Mu's words immediately caused further anger among everyone. Obviously, Ye Mu's words proved that Jiang Yichen's conjecture was possible.

Ye Mu also felt the anger of everyone. He should have stepped back, but continued: "However, the disciple does not think that Si Dao is a traitor. If he is a traitor, why should he risk his life to save the saint......?

Moreover, Si Dao, Senior Sister He, and the Holy Maiden formed an immortal contract respectively. If it has two hearts, it will definitely be noticed, right?" Jiang Yichen added.

The two points added by Ye Mu and Jiang Yichen are the most beneficial points for the Dao. It is precisely because of these two points that the people have always given the priest the freedom to act.

At this moment, Cheng Yang rushed out of the crowd without authorization.

Cheng Yang shouted: "Impossible. Uncle Shi, Si Dao can't be a traitor. As you said, if Si Dao is a traitor, how can he escape Uncle He's telepathy. I've known Sidao for many years. I know better than anyone that he has absolutely no intention of resenting his master. ”

Cheng Yang was about to cry. Of course, he knows the fate of traitors, and he knows even more about the way of life. Cheng Yang absolutely did not believe that Si Dao was a traitor.

"So how do you explain the above question?"

"How do you explain the changes in Si Dao over the past year?"

"You really didn't notice the change in Si Dao's personality?"

The questions kept coming, making Cheng Yang stunned. He's just a teenager, and he doesn't know how to justify it. In fact, he knew better than anyone else the changes in the priesthood. So, for a moment, he couldn't speak. In a hurry, Cheng Yang left tears aggrievedly.

Cheng Yang and Ye Mu's words could not completely clear Si Dao's suspicions.

Si Dao walked over and patted Cheng Yang on the shoulder to appease him. Then, he glanced at Ye Mu gratefully. Ye Mu spoke for him.

"Si Dao, what do you think?" Jiang Yichen remained patient.

Si Dao thought about it for a while, thinking of two points that were beneficial to him. First, he risked his life to save people, and second, he formed a spiritual contract with Homulo and the Holy Maiden.

He thought only for a few seconds before he spoke, "Because I'm not dead, it's not actually risking death, is it?"

Yes, not only did he not die, he was not injured at all, but he also broke through the first layer of cultivation and became a monk of the third layer of qi refining. In the eyes of outsiders, this is not a danger at all, but an opportunity.

"Not bad. Jiang Yichen nodded and continued, "When you proposed the plan at that time, Senior Sister He Muluo He had already woken up, right?"

"Yes!"

"The Holy Maiden has fled and will soon join you?"

"Yes!"

"In that case, even if there is no plan for you, in order to ensure the survival of the Holy Maiden, what do you think Senior Sister He will do?"

"In order to eliminate all the possibility of traitors, you only need to use spiritual power to bind me, Ye Mu, and Cheng Yang, so that there is no possibility of traitors. At the same time, the saint can position the Huanshi and turn it off. Si Dao replied truthfully.

"You're right. But this is not safe. In this way, it is still possible to catch up, and there is a risk. That's why you'll come up with a foolproof plan. ”

"That's right!"

At this point, the crowd became confused again. It seems that Si Dao's behavior is right, helping the saint to escape and be rescued.

But in fact, there is another hypothesis. Assuming you are really a traitor, there is a logic in your behavior at that time. At that time, the Black Moon Organization's assassination mission against the Holy Maiden that you mentioned was close to failure. Once you return to the sect, the chances of you being identified as a traitor are extremely high. In this case, you choose to abandon the assassination attempt. In this way, not only will you not be suspected, but you will also become a hero of the acacia. Jiang Yichen said another hypothesis.

This idea is a bit whimsical, but when you think about it, it makes sense. Everyone's eyes became serious again.

"But, Uncle Jiang. Even if I am really a traitor, how can I think of so much in such a short period of time?" Si Dao shook his head, denying.

"You must not have been able to do it before, but now you can remain calm in the face of everyone's doubts. This heart even surpasses me!" Jiang Yichen exclaimed. This admiration did not make Si Dao happy at all.

Everyone looked at Si Dao and felt incredible. In fact, Si Dao seems to be always at peace, just as the outside world cannot interfere with his heart. Even now, in the face of everyone's criticism, in the face of Jiang Yichen's questioning, he still did not panic, always spoke calmly, and always calmly faced everyone.

This is not at all the performance of an ordinary teenager.

"So, if it's me, if it's me now, if it's me with a strong Dao heart, I can control my emotions and thoughts in a short period of time to deceive the immortal contract and deceive the Holy Maiden and Senior Sister. Si Dao shook his head and sighed.

The Immortal Contract will make both parties feel each other's emotions, but they will not be able to fully understand all of each other's thoughts. Therefore, if Si Dao can really control his emotions and thoughts perfectly, he can deceive the immortal contract. But this can only be done on a theoretical level. It is impossible for anyone to completely deceive themselves, and it is impossible for them to hide themselves completely.

But is this really impossible? Can Si Dao do it?

At this point, the two biggest advantages of Sidao seem to be "deception"!

"Do you think you can do it?" Jiang Yichen asked rhetorically.

"In that case, if I have a deep hatred for my master, I think I can do it. Si Dao nodded.

"Then are you a traitor?" Jiang Yichen asked again.

"No, Si Dao is not a traitor to Hehuan. Perhaps, it is indeed as Uncle Jiang said. Among the Hehuan disciples, the person with the most motivation to betray is probably me. In the case of the assassination of the Holy Maiden, I was also the one who created the opportunity. But I really didn't do that, and I really didn't have any resentment against my teacher. Si Dao denied it.

"Okay! As the investigator of this matter, I need to make a judgment. Jiang Yichen looked at Si Dao.

Then, with his usual warm smile, he spoke:

"I think that although there is a possibility, there is no substantial evidence that can directly prove that Si Dao is a traitor.

So, so far, I don't think Si Dao is a traitor to Hehuan. Moreover, there are two ways to judge this matter. First, if the monk in Si Dao's mouth really exists, he will definitely be able to find it, and second, I don't believe that a person can hide his emotions and thoughts forever, as long as Si Dao and his sister stay together for a long time, they can naturally prove it. ”

"Uncle Xie. Si Dao nodded gratefully.

Cheng Yang is also very grateful. Ye Mu glanced at Si Dao and left.

Jiang Yichen is a representative of Hehuan in the past 100 years. He judged it like this, and naturally no one was unconvinced.

However, it has never been determined who the traitor of Hehuan really is! This has cast a faint shadow in the hearts of the Hehuan disciples. Although Jiang Yichen had already made a judgment, many Hehuan disciples still had a different look when they looked at Si Dao.

Before the monk came forward to prove it, Si Dao was always suspected of being a traitor.

It was also on this day that Jiang Yichen ordered: During the time of the assassination of the Holy Maiden, all the Hehuan disciples who remained in the Shangzheng Kingdom were marked and restricted from moving. This includes Si Dao, Cheng Yang, Ye Mu, and Jiang Yichen.
