Chapter 199: Nan Xiangmu
Zhou Zheng, who was beside Qin Guan, saw this scene in front of him, and was suddenly a little dumbfounded: "Qin, Qin Palace Master, you, have you pulled off the leaves?"
Qin looked at him, then looked at the leaves in his hands, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "You also saw it, it was this leaf that fell by itself, and it has nothing to do with me." I just touched it casually, and how did I know that it would lose its leaves if it couldn't stand it?"
This thing is also strange to say, this tree has been in the Water Moon Cave for thousands of years, and I haven't heard of anyone pulling off the leaves of this tree. Not only because this tree was left by the ancestors, but also because this tree was not an ordinary tree, and it was difficult for ordinary monks to shake a single cent of this tree. But Qin Guan was different, he just put his hand on it gently, and a leaf fell, so Zhou Zheng was very surprised and very incomprehensible.
Qin Guan listened to Zhou Zheng's explanation, frowned and thought for a while, vaguely feeling that this tree was a little strange, but there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity. For the monks, in their impression, as long as they saw something similar, they could quickly identify it, but Qin Guan was sure that he had never seen such a tree at all, let alone touched it.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered the little white flower in the Fangcun Mountain. When Bai Ling was born Lingzhi, he had also seen Bai Ling more than once, and the fluctuations emanating from Bai Ling's body were very similar to the strange-looking chicken paw tree in front of him. "Could it be that this is another spirit clan?" Qin Guan thought secretly.
But he didn't have any evidence now, after all, the Spirit Race was an intelligent creature, not an ordinary plant and tree, and it was useless to identify it by the naked eye and spiritual thoughts just by relying on the naked eye and spiritual thoughts. So he had to put this idea in his heart for the time being, and in Zhou Zheng's dazed face, he put the leaves in his hand in the Qiankun bag, ready to take them back to Bai Ling to identify.
"Alright, let's see this tree for the time being, let's go to the next place. By the way, I don't know how your division commanders have discussed, have they come up with any solutions?" Qin Guan asked lightly.
Zhou Zheng put away his thoughts and replied: "Not yet, but even if it is discussed, I won't tell juniors like me." Hey, it's also strange to say, my master already knew that my senior uncle must be the only one in the door who had colluded with the Lingyin Tower, so why did he gather all the Jindan elders in a big way to discuss the invasion of the Lingyin Tower?"
Qin Guan smiled: "You are still too young, you have to think carefully about the reason why your master did this." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and rolled up a handful of dead leaves with his spiritual power, and pointed it to Zhou Zheng, "Look at this pile of dead leaves in my hand, can you pick out the one I picked up from the ground on the left just now?"
Zhou Zheng shook his head: "Are you saying that my master did that just to confuse the public? But why is this? Aren't we so many people now, are we still worried that someone in the door will secretly collude with Lingyin Lou and cause us any harm?
This time, Qin Guan shook his head: "You, you, you, there are still too few things I have seen." Your master is not doing this to surprise the snake, but to give those who have betrayed the master a chance to stand up and turn themselves in. Many of the dead leaves I took out were taken from the bushes on the right, and only one from the left, but with them mixed in my hands, you can't tell who is who. Why? It's not because these leaves are the leaves of a tree, and it's hard to tell who's who. It's the same with your Jindan monks in the Water Moon Cave Heaven, you are all people in the same sect, and you know each other's roots, and no one can guess whether the other party is the one who betrayed the sect. And rashly pointing out who betrayed the sect wouldn't it cause them to be suspicious of each other?"
After a pause, he continued: "So your master is just doing this with a glimmer of expectation in his heart for his senior brothers, if he reforms, then he can punish him in secret, and he doesn't have to show who it is in public." In this way, there is no need to worry about people in the sect being suspicious of each other in the future. ”
Zhou Zheng suddenly realized, but he still didn't dare to have any expectations for those uncles and uncles in his family: "They have already done the thing, and they must have thought of the worst outcome, how can they stand up and turn themselves in when there is no evidence? And they must still have a fluke mentality, knowing that my master has no evidence in his hands, so they are not afraid of my master's testimony at all." ”
Qin Guan said lightly: "If someone stands up on their own, it is naturally good, even if not, if we use any means in the future, we can't blame our subordinates for being ruthless." ”
After Li Yixian told his brothers about the crisis that the division is currently experiencing, everyone was in an uproar and whispered to each other, but no one dared to stand up and turn himself in. However, he also knew that there might be people who couldn't wipe their face in front of the public, so he also made it clear openly and secretly, he knew that someone colluded with outsiders to subvert Shuiyue Dongtian, but because of the friendship between the senior brothers, he should not be pointed out in public, and whoever was ashamed would privately ask him to turn himself in.
After finishing the discussion, Li Yixian instructed everyone to go back to their cave mansion to prepare for the next big battle, maybe when, the people of Lingyin Building will attack the door, don't rush to prepare at that time.
After sending off the Jindan elders, Li Yixian sat on the chair of the head of the house and closed his eyes motionlessly. After a quarter of an hour, the door to the main hall suddenly opened, and a man walked in from the outside.
Li Yixian didn't need to open his eyes to know who was coming, and the faint smell of grass was a smell he was very familiar with. Li Yixian sighed and said, "Senior brother, I knew you would come." ”
Nan Xiangmu was speechless for a long time, although his face was very calm, but his slightly trembling hands betrayed his heart. "Senior brother, I'm 。。。。。。 ”
Li Yixian stretched out his hand to stop him, then closed the door of the main hall with his spiritual power, pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit down and talk." ”
Nan Xiangmu sat down on the chair dejectedly, and then said, "Senior brother, I'm sorry for you! I'm sorry for the master!
"Senior brother, why do you say you are doing this? Give me a reason, okay? We senior brothers have been in the past few hundred years, what kind of things have not been experienced, how can you be ruthless so easily?" Li Yixian's tone was slightly painful.
Nan Xiangmu hung his head slightly: "Senior brother, it's too late to say anything now." The junior brother has made a big mistake, and there is no way to undo it!"
Li Yixian sighed: "You better tell me your reasons first, let me hear what kind of thing can make you such a timid and fearful person dare to do such a rebellious thing." ”
Nan Xiangmu trembled and said, "Senior brother, do you remember when you went out to buy supplies with the three junior brothers? Didn't I get separated from the three junior brothers? At that time, I was not separated from the three junior brothers, but was arrested. They planted a ban in my dantian, and I had no choice but to obey their orders. Senior brother, if it weren't for the fact that this hall was isolated from the prying eyes of the outside world, I wouldn't have dared to tell you this. With that, he lay on the coffee table next to him and cried bitterly.
Li Yixian's face was full of grief, and he said: "Senior Brother Nan, the two of us entered the door together, and we grew up together in front of the master and his old man since childhood, after so many years, I don't know what kind of character you have? You are not the kind of person who will betray the master for the sake of profit. If you had told me about this earlier, would I have tried my best to cure you, brother?
He looked at Nan Xiangmu, who was crying bitterly in front of him, and he didn't feel good in his heart. This junior brother is the person he has lived with since he was a child, even if it is a grass and a tree, he will have feelings after watching it for a long time, let alone a senior brother who learns art together. And Nan Xiangmu's temperament has been so cowardly since he was a child, he doesn't dare to cause trouble at all, even if he is bullied, he only dares to come to Li Yixian to seek justice for himself. So from childhood to adulthood, Li Yixian has been accustomed to taking care of this junior brother, and he trusts this junior brother even more, because he knows that no matter what happens, his junior brother will not betray him.
But the reality is sometimes so ridiculous, the feeling of being stabbed by the person he trusts the most, Li Yixian now feels it. However, he also knew that his junior brother, if it weren't for the extremely difficult time, he would not have done such a thing at all, and it must have been the prohibition in the dantian that robbed his mind.
Li Yixian slapped the table: "Okay, don't cry! I've been like this since I was a child, and when I was asked to do so, I knew how to cry in front of me! Tell me about you, how come you don't know how to be stronger! Master said when he handed you over to me before his old man passed away, your temperament will definitely have big problems in the future." Hey, it's okay, it's okay, you can cry for a while, and you still want others to see it?"
Nan Xiangmu wiped away his tears and muttered twice: "I can't hold it back! Hey, senior brother, you can save me! Those guys said that if I don't obey, they will be able to wipe me out with their fingers within a thousand miles! I don't want to die, senior brother!"
Li Yixian also has a headache now, Shuiyue Cave Heaven has no way to deal with the ban, although it may have existed two thousand years ago, but it has long been destroyed because of the consensus of the cultivation world, and only a few words have been left in the door. Now it is really difficult for Li Yixian to find a way. It might be better if there were Yuanying monks in the Water Moon Cave Heaven, after all, the monks who had cultivated to the Yuanying stage had some understanding of this kind of partial spell, and maybe there was some way. But Li Yixian can't do it, his lifespan is only a few hundred years, and he hasn't even seen what the forbidden technique looks like, how can he come up with a way.
"Hey, senior brother, am I hopeless? I heard those people say that only they have a solution to this forbidden technique, and as long as I am willing to obey, they will untie it for me when it is done. Do they lie to me?" asked Nan Xiangmu weakly.
Li Yixian said angrily: "What do you say? Are you really stupid or fake stupid! In the forbidden technique, you have to be a puppet all the time, and you have to do whatever people ask you to do, and there is no room for resistance at all, not to mention that people will be kind enough to untie you, and if you don't use you as cannon fodder, I'm sorry for your IQ!"
Although he is angry with his junior brother, after all, the relationship between the two people is extraordinary, and they still need to be saved, otherwise Li Yixian will also be sorry for his master's spirit in the sky.
Glancing at Nan Xiangmu angrily, Li Yixian suddenly thought of Qin Guan of the Cultivation Federation in his heart, in his thoughts, these monks of the Great Gate Sect, there must be a lot of secluded inheritance in the sect, maybe there is a way to solve the forbidden technique?
Just as he was about to get up and go out, he suddenly asked again: "Senior brother, did you say that you are the only one in the door who has fallen for this forbidden technique?"
Nan Xiangmu nodded suspiciously: "I am the only one I know, why do you ask that, senior brother, is there anyone else who is like me?"
Li Yixian figured it out a little now, Nan Xiangmu was the shield of others, and the main real culprit behind the scenes was not Nan Xiangmu at all, but someone else. After all, with Nan Xiangmu's character and strength, he is not the kind of person who can hide things at all, if it weren't for the prohibition, maybe he would have confided in the original thing that day. Even if there is a ban in the dantian, he seems to be so reluctant these days, and he has made mistakes several times when lecturing to his disciples, which has long made Li Yixian suspicious.
If the people of Lingyin Building only chose Nan Xiangmu as a spy, either the person who chose had a problem with his eyes, or he had another purpose. In Li Yixian's opinion, the people of Lingyin Mansion may have buried spies in the Shuiyue Cave Heaven a long time ago, and Nan Xiangmu was the one they selected as a scapegoat.
He asked again, "Senior brother, did those guys ask you anything, and do you know what their purpose is?"
Nan Xiangmu thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "The questions are all trivial, how many people are in the sect, how many people are in the sect, how much cultivation is there, what is your usual routine and rest, senior brother, and what treasures the ancestor has left behind." ”。
Li Yixian had a guess, but he didn't dare to be sure for a while, so he just said to Nan Xiangmu: "Don't move here, if someone comes to me, you say that I have something to do when I go out, let them wait for me to come back with you." ”
Nan Xiangmu nodded obediently, not at all like a hundred-year-old monk, but just like when he was a child, stupid and stupid, Li Yixian didn't dare to delay, and went straight to the place where the distinguished guest lived to find Qin Guan.
