Chapter 47: Suspicion
The phantom beast woke up, sleepy-eyed, and a childlike ignorance in its eyes.
Ah Mu shouted softly: "Yue'er?"
The phantom beast looked at her in confusion, as if it didn't understand what she was saying.
She really didn't remember anything else, even her own name.
A burst of inexplicable thoughts poured out in Ah Mu's heart, so that she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and want to touch the phantom beast with pity.
Seeing her approaching, the snow-white beast immediately became vigilant, stood up on all fours, hunched over and stared at Amu and stepped back a little.
Amu's hand paused in mid-air, but finally retracted it.
It's okay to forget about the past, it's also a new beginning for the phantom beast, it's just ...... Bitter Senior Brother Yuan......
She didn't say anything more, left a bottle of Enhancement Pill for the phantom beast, and left.
Before leaving, she sent a sound-transmitting paper crane to Jiang Yang, who was also in the Thirteen Peaks, and asked him to occasionally help take care of the phantom beast.
Jiang Yang is a disciple of Ming Zezhenjun, the master of the Thirteen Peaks, and with him to take care of him, presumably the life of the phantom beast will be much better.
After arranging these, Amu returned to the main peak.
I first bowed to the master Sect Master Qi and reported to him about the trip, Sect Master Qi looked at her inquiringly, and suddenly asked a sentence:
"Did anything special happen on this trip? I see that you seem to be a little uneasy. β
Amu's heart jumped, she felt that she had already behaved very calmly, and no one doubted it all the way, but she didn't want to be noticed by Shizun?
She made up her mind, and said half-truthfully:
"Master Zun clearly saw that the disciple was really a little embarrassed about the phantom beast. β
Sect Master Qi bowed his head and motioned for her to continue.
So Amu continued: "The disciple has not entered the world deeply, and he never thought that there was such a gap between humans and demon beasts, like Senior Brother Yuan and Phantom Beasts, just because of a trumped-up crime, he had to suffer this difficulty, it is a pity." β
"They are not wrong, they are wrong by some people who are driven by profit. Sect Master Qi rarely began to teach the little apprentice: "Where there are living beings, disputes will inevitably occur, and their union is very likely to be used by others one day in the future to cause even greater trouble." β
Ah Mu frowned and disagreed: "They are willing to be just a pair of ordinary people, escaping the mountains and forests, how can they cause trouble?"
Sect Master Qi finally discovered that his little disciple, who can be called a cultivator, also had an innocent side, and yes, after all, she was only sixteen years old.
"I also believe that they are willing to live away from the world now, but what about a hundred years from now, five hundred years from now? Who can guarantee that their ideas will never change?"
Amu was speechless for a while.
Sect Master Qi said meaningfully: "Once some people are afraid of something, they will make noise everywhere and dare not take the slightest risk. However, you have to remember that the rules are set by the superiors, and if one day you also have the strength to speak, you can try to change them. β
Amu has always understood this truth, but at this moment, when he said it through the mouth of the master, it was an unprecedented shock.
Strength!
This is the Lingyue Continent, the world of immortal cultivators, and the world where strength is king!
After retiring from Sect Master Qi, Amu returned to his courtyard.
With Wenhui and Huang Zhuo here, everything in the courtyard is in order, and Amu has never bothered.
Ah Mu inquired about their current situation, and when he learned that everything was fine, he entered the cultivation room with confidence.
She set out the formation plate and cut off all divine consciousness before sitting cross-legged on the futon and gradually relaxed.
Today's words between her and Shizun are all from the bottom of her heart, but they are only half of them, and the other half is the real worry in her heart.
If the Phantom Beast has such a status in the human world, as a merman, it will not be much better than it.
What's more, he concealed his identity and became an inner disciple of the Daoyan Sect, once this matter is known by someone with a heart, I am afraid that a catastrophe will come.
All this has raised the sense of distress in Amu's heart to an unprecedented height.
You must find the location of the mermaid clan as soon as possible, and it should be your own belonging!
Thinking of this, Amu's consciousness was immersed, and his divine consciousness passed through his mind and entered the sound range.
Sensing that someone had entered, the shadow lady woke up from her slumber and was overjoyed to see Amu.
The phantom beast made Ah Mu uneasy, and only when the shadow mother was here could she let down her guard and get a moment of peace.
ββββββ
The next day, Amu came to Dengyun Peak early and set off with Zheng Rong and Gaojie to a mine in the east of the sect.
It was a small-scale spirit stone mine, because there was a small spirit vein that was not very rich underneath, and over time, a spirit stone mine was born.
The vast majority of the spirit stones produced are low-grade spirit stones, and there are very few medium-grade spirit stones.
Because the value is not high, the sect handed over this mine to some outer disciples, and it has been more than ten years since the mine began to be excavated.
The Law Enforcement Hall intervened in this matter because it was rumored that among some of the outer disciples in charge of the mine, some of them were enriching their own pockets and ignoring the laws of the sect.
In remote places, spiritual power is much inferior to Dao Yanzong.
Those outer disciples generally cultivate in the Qi cultivation period, and most of them are low-level.
The three members of the fifth detachment of the inspection team of the Law Enforcement Hall who were sent were all above the seventh level of Qi training, and they thought that they would be able to end the matter soon, but they did not see the three of them return to the sect for a long time.
On the way to the mine, Zheng Rong briefly explained the current situation to Amu and the others.
According to the news sent back by Dongzhe, it is basically certain that among those in charge of mining, some of them must have filled their pockets. The number of medium-grade spirit stones is by no means more than the ones they handed over to the sect, a few days ago, they found out some news, and the other two have already gone to investigate, but they haven't found anything yet. β
After listening to Zheng Rong's narration, Amu only felt a little strange.
"Senior Brother Zheng, what news did they find?"
Zheng Rong's expression was solemn: "Lu Ren has personally seen an outer disciple take a jade bottle from a stranger many times, and they guessed that the bottle was very likely to contain an elixir. The person who gave him the pill was most likely a disciple of another sect, and there seemed to be some ulterior deal between the two of them. β
Hearing this, the strangeness in Ah Mu's heart expanded more and more, and she thought about it:
"If that person is a disciple of another sect and can have extra pills in his hand, I'm afraid his status is not low, and it is unlikely that he is an outer discipleββ"
Daoyan Sect is the first immortal cultivation sect in the world, and the outer disciples under the sect are only a spirit enhancement pill in January, and most of the grades are below the second order, and it is far from enough for each person's own use, let alone vacating it for others, other sects will not be better than Daoyan Sect.
Ah Mu continued to analyze: "If it is an inner disciple, there are only two situations, one is that if you enter a certain office hall like me, you can go down the mountain on official business, and in addition, you can only cultivate above the foundation building-"
There is an unwritten rule among the three sects and six sects of the Lingyue Continent that inner disciples can only go down the mountain when they cultivate to build a foundation, while outer disciples do not have this requirement.
This move was to protect the sect's elite in case this group of seedlings fell prematurely.
