Chapter 72: Questioning the Case (II)
Seeing everyone coming, Qingji Daoist hurriedly pulled up Baicheng, bowed to everyone and said, "The Nine Immortals Guan Qingji has seen all of you. ”
The scarlet-clothed man in the lead didn't speak, and went straight to the main seat to sit down, but Zhou Dingyuan glanced at the two of them and said, "You are the Qingji Daoist, you are really Fengshen Junxiu." With that, sit next to the scarlet man.
When Bai Cheng heard Zhou Dingyuan say this, he knew that he was deliberately pretending not to know, and his heart couldn't help but move, but his face didn't show half a point, and he stood aside silently.
After the scarlet man and Zhou Dingyuan sat down, the other people didn't seem to have enough identities and didn't dare to sit down, just stood aside.
Seeing the two of them sitting down, Governor Lou walked out in a few steps and said, "Lord Xu, General Zhou, this person is the Nine Immortals Guan Master Qingji, and the person next to him is Baicheng." ”
The scarlet-clothed man nodded slightly and said, "Zhang Qianling, did you say that these two people killed Lu Jianshan?"
Zhang Daoren hurriedly walked out and said respectfully: "Lord Qiyu, this is the person." ”
Master Xu said softly: "Did you hear the conversation between Zeng Commander and the two of them just now? ”
Zhang Daoren said: "This matter is true, and I hope that the adults will find out." ”
Bai Cheng stood aside, almost thinking that he had gone to the wrong set in his heart, and secretly said in his heart, this Lord Xu was only afraid that he was the Xuanfu envoy sent by the imperial court, but the Xuangui Hall and the Nine Immortals Temple were obviously branches of the Daomen, why did they want to bring the lawsuit to him? General Zhou has always been reluctant to meddle in local affairs, why did he accompany this person today?
Lord Xu seemed to be a little displeased, and said: "Commander Zeng condensed his murderous aura in his internal strength, as long as the murderous aura is forced, those who are slightly weaker in cultivation will have nothing to hide in front of him, this young man is so young, where can he have the ability to lie in front of him, do you say this to doubt Commander Cao's ability?"
Zhang Daoren hurriedly said: "Poor Dao doesn't dare, it's just that these two are very cunning, maybe there is some way to avoid the detection of the commander of Cao." ”
Lord Xu pondered for a moment and said, "There is some truth in what you say, but you can't come up with any definite evidence now, and it is inconvenient for the envoy to make a decision. ”
Zhang Daoren pounced, knelt down and said, "Although Poor Dao has no evidence, these two people are indeed the murderers of Lu Jianshan. ”
Master Xu sighed and said softly: "You are also old, don't kneel down at every turn." If there is no other evidence, this matter will end here, and you will not fight anymore!"
Zhang Daoren sighed and said: "Since the adults have made a decision, the poor road can only obey, but there is still one matter in the poor road that the adults can decide." ”
Lord Xu said, "Say, what's the matter?"
Zhang Daoren said: "In this Qingyang Mansion Daoist dispute, the Nine Immortals Guan Qingji Daoist has broken the rules, please rule that he withdraw from this Daoist dispute!"
Lord Xu's expression was cold, and he said: "This is a matter in the Tao, there are outsiders here, it is inconvenient to talk about it today, let's talk about it another day." ”
When Zhang Daoren heard this, he said loudly: "Qingji Daoist people disturb the rules, if the adults ignore it, aren't they afraid of criticism in the Dao?"
Lord Xu's eyes grew cold, and he said, "Since that's the case, you can say it." ”
Bai Cheng listened to the conversation between the two of them on the side, and suddenly from the killing of Lu Jianshan, to the dispute between the Taoist masters, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, the court officials didn't talk about the murder case, why did they suddenly take care of the dispute between the Taoist masters, and peeked to see the Daoist people, but saw that the faces of the Daoists were not different, as if this matter was justified, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.
Zhang Daoren continued: "As far as the poor Dao knows, this time the Dao Lord is fighting, the Dao is neutral, and all branches are not allowed to attract outsiders to help, although Baicheng may not be the murderer of Lu Jianshan, but the matter of helping the Nine Immortals Guan Qingji has been decided, and I also ask the Lord to rule that the Qingji withdraw from this Daoist dispute." ”
Master Xu pondered for a moment and said, "It turns out that your purpose today is not to avenge Lu Jianshan, but to kick Qingji out of this Qingyang Mansion Daoist dispute. ”
Zhang Daoren said repeatedly: "How dare the villain be so bold, it's just that the rules are here, I have to say." ”
Lord Xu's face sank, and he said, "Okay, you have a rule here!"
Zhou Dingyuan on the side listened to the conversation between the two of them, and suddenly interjected: "The Taoist master is fighting, when there is such a rule, why don't I know?"
Master Xu said: "General Zhou is not from my Tao, so I don't know, but there is indeed such a rule, and he didn't talk nonsense." ”
Zhou Dingyuan summoned people from the Flying Star Gate to support the Qingji Daoist to ascend to the position of the Daoist, but he had never heard the Daoist say that this rule of no foreign aid was allowed, and when he suddenly heard it, his heart couldn't help but sink.
Seeing that Lord Xu was no longer talking, Zhang Daoren said again: "Please make a ruling!"
Lord Xu glanced at him, there was already murderous intent in his eyes, and said, "In this case, Qingji obeys the order"
Before the words fell, Bai Cheng suddenly said, "Slow down!"
Lord Xu's eyes flashed and he said, "What's the matter with you?"
Bai Cheng said: "I heard Hall Master Zhang say just now that I am an outsider invited by the Nine Immortals Temple, so I want to deprive Senior Brother Qingji of the qualification to seize the position of Dao Master?"
Zhang Daoren said: "Not bad. ”
Bai Cheng said: "Hall Master Zhang said so, but he was wrong. ”
Zhang Daoren said angrily: "How did I go wrong?"
Bai Cheng said: "I am not assisting the Nine Immortals Temple, I am a disciple of the Nine Immortals Temple, and the Dao number is Qingyue!"
Zhang Daoren was originally kneeling on the ground, but at this time, he suddenly stood up and said angrily: "I have already found out, you have not known Qingji Daoist for a long time, how can you be a disciple of the Nine Immortals Temple?"
Bai Cheng smiled slightly: "Words can be faked, but cultivation can not be faked, in the practice of the Nine Immortals Guan Zhen Biography "Thunder Puhua All Things Life and Death Sutra" for many years, has achieved a little success, at this time to show, yes or not the disciple in the view, please take a look." ”
Lord Xu's face showed a strange color, and he said, "In this case, if you have any ability, use it." ”
Bai Cheng nodded, then closed his eyes slightly, secretly recited the scriptures, and visualized thunder and lightning in his mind, and after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, and a thunderbolt flashed in the flower hall, and it was like a lightning bolt in the flat ground.
Zhang Daoren's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned his head to Lord Xu, and said in a trembling voice: "This must be him pretending to be a ghost."
Before he finished speaking, Lord Xu's face changed, and he said angrily: "Are you blind, the true inheritance of the Nine Immortals Temple, I can't tell the difference?"
When Bai Cheng visualized a flash of lightning, he thought that he would have to explain to this Lord Xu that this exercise was the true transmission of the Nine Immortals, but he didn't want this Lord Xu to directly reveal the origin without him explaining.
As soon as Lord Xu spoke, Zhang Daoren's face was like ashes, and he stood aside.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Dingyuan stretched out his hand and patted Lord Xu gently, and said with a smile: "Lord Xu, it seems that you still have to make a few more trips to this Qingyang Mansion." ”
Lord Xu sighed lightly and said: "Lu Jianshan relied on the power of his family, collected three seals and wanted to seal him in the middle of the road, and now he is dying happily, but he wants me to run for nothing!"
When Bai Cheng heard this, a bright light flashed in his mind, and he had completely understood, it turned out that Lord Xu, the imperial court's envoy, was also serving as the Huang Tiandao patrol envoy! Zhang Daoren blocked the road and complained about his grievances, looking for not Lord Xu who was the imperial court's envoy Xuan Fu, but Lord Xu, who was the Huang Tiandao patrol envoy! It's just that Lu Jianshan's death involves the Jiangdong Lu family, so when Lord Xu dealt with this matter, he did not follow the rules of the Tao, but handled it in accordance with the laws of the imperial court, and treated Lu Jianshan's death as an ordinary life lawsuit.
Thinking of this, Bai Cheng couldn't help but admire Lord Xu by three points, and he could think of such an ingenious method.
At this point, everything has been explained, and Lord Xu spoke: "Since everything has been explained clearly today, you can step down, General Zhou and I still have something to say." ”
Everyone was about to retreat, but the Qingji Daoist suddenly said: "My lord, slow down, the poor Dao still has something to report to Lord Xu." ”
