Chapter Ninety-Four: Mandarin Ducks Turn Against Eyes
Although the four seasons in this mountain are like spring, after a sudden snowfall during the day, the yin and yang five elements of the entire Taiji Mountain seem to have changed. The hall, which was originally dry four days ago, was now wafting with a musty smell, and the original dust on the door beam was also gone.
Zhou Yi walked through the door, and a damp and mildewy smell rushed to his face, and he couldn't help coughing a few times. Reflecting the dim light of the fire behind him, a room of cobwebs and a desolate state could still be seen.
"Take this!" Sima Chun lit the other torch in his hand and handed it over.
Zhou Yi took the torch, and after taking a few steps, he felt a little strange, so he frowned and asked him, "Brother don't you think anything is weird?"
"Oh?" Sima Chun smiled: "Are you too sensitive, we have only been here once, and it is still night, you have been asleep for a few days, and you can still see the changes here at a glance?"
As he spoke, he had already taken a few steps inside, sniffled left and right, and said thoughtfully: "If there is any change, it is the smell of rotten wood and mold in this room." But it's no wonder that no one cleans it, and although it's snowing outside, it's not cold, so it's damp and mildew, which is also commonplace. ”
Hearing him say this, Zhou Yi also readily recognized it, but he was in exile since he was a child, and he cultivated a vigilant temperament in adversity, so that when he was here, he couldn't help but be a little more suspicious.
Sima Chun arrived in front of the stone statue of Tujian and cleared the messy cobwebs with a torch, and in respect of his predecessors, he put the torch on the candlestick on the side, and bowed down to the stone statue and made a big salute, "The heroic spirit of the seniors is above, please forgive the juniors for not wanting to offend!"
Since Zhou Yi came in, his eyes have not taken off the three kneeling stone statues in the center of the main hall. He was just seeing the gods, and suddenly heard Sima Chun praying behind his back for the spirit of Tu Jian, thinking that Tu Jian was a friend of Jiang Weng, the Taishi Gong, and even Zhou Tianyong mentioned that he would be called a senior.
"If the old-timers are heroic and inclusive, please bless Zhou Yi to solve the mystery and confusion, return the truth of the old things, and give the common people a peace!"
After speaking, bow and bow!
Suddenly, the torch he had placed on the candlestick turned over and fell, and happened to fall on the robe of the third stone statue, and where the sparks splashed, a layer of blue flames suddenly floated from the robe, spreading from one corner of the robe, and instantly burning the entire stone statue.
Sima Chun hurriedly came over and grabbed the robe, but fortunately the fire did not spread! However, he took the burned robe and shone it under the firelight, and found that the clothes that had been burned by the fire were actually intact and there was no trace of damage!
"Look, it's so strange, it's strange that such a swift flame didn't burn this garment!"
When Zhou Yi heard this, he hurriedly walked over, and after looking inside and out of the robe, he really found no signs of burning.
"It seems that it is the spirit of the old-timer, under his protection, this must be a blessed land!" Sima Chun couldn't hide his surprise, and made a big gift to Tu Jian.
Zhou Yi was undecided, his hands stroked the lines on his clothes, and he was shocked, and he couldn't help but think of the dried corpses he had seen on the other side of the cliff during the day! He suddenly guessed something, and hurriedly took the robe under the torch, and then looked closer, and saw that the texture and style on the clothes were exactly the same as the robe on the corpse...... It can be clearly seen that the Taoist priest on the other side of the cliff and the person who worships the sword slayer here should be the same passerby!
"Zhou Yi, what do you think again?" When Sima Chun finished worshipping Tu Jian and turned around, he saw his eyes condensed, and a layer of sweat condensed on his forehead, and he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any mystery in this dress?"
Zhou Yi was interrupted by his words, suddenly came back to his senses, and did not answer his words directly, but asked him to take a torch and carefully compare the burned Taoist robe with the other two.
"Does it make a difference?"
"No ......" Zhou Yi's expression did not relax at all, he shook his head slowly, and sometimes pondered with his eyebrows. "It stands to reason that there should be a difference after burning! Otherwise, those Dao boys would not have died without rotting in such humid weather!"
Sima Chun was a little puzzled, and seeing that he was sweating on his head, he asked anxiously, "What are you thinking?"
Zhou Yi looked at him as if he had just woken up, and said half-shocked and half-worried: "It's too similar, the few dried corpses I saw on the other side of the cliff today are wearing exactly the same Taoist robes as this one, and the Taoist costumes are quite exquisite, I guess, they come from a sect!"
"Everything is so strange here, the distance between the two can be described as a fraction of the same, and it is natural to say that it is the work of one faction. But what does that mean?"
"I don't know exactly what the connection is, but it's an opportunity for us to break through the fog. Zhou Yi clutched the dress tightly and said coldly with a misty look in his eyes.
"Well, however, there are many things in this hall, and if you look at it the way you do, we won't have time to hunt tonight." ”
"Okay," Zhou Yi's face softened slightly, "Then we'll pick up the clues and look at ......."
Before the words fell, I saw a ball of sparks splashed by the torch in Sima Chun's hand, and the place where the sparks fell was the two stone statues! Zhou Yi couldn't help but exclaim: "Be careful of the fire!"
Sima Chun was taken aback, and hurriedly went to protect the robe, but it was too late, and sparks were splashed all over the ground!
However, what is puzzling is that these two robes did not burn like the one just now.
Zhou Yi frowned, put them together and carefully compared, and did not find anything abnormal!
Sima Chun pinched a handful of sweat and exhaled slowly, "This is strange, judging from the posture, these three stone statues bow down in front of their predecessors, which shows both piety and repentance, they should be the three disciples of the seniors." Since they are of the same clan and family, why are there such differences in the clothes they wear?"
Zhou Yi snorted coldly, and said with a sharp smile in his eyes: "There is only one truth! That is, this female disciple has some kind of relationship with the master here that we don't know!"
"You mean, she and Miss Mengyan ......"
"Brother, do you remember what you said that night?" Zhou Yi picked up the torch and shook it in front of the female statue, "She is not Mengyan, but she is so similar to Mengyan, what kind of relationship can there be in this world, so that two people look the same!"
Sima Chun was taken aback, and then thought down his thoughts, and the result was chilling!
At this time, Zhou Yi's heart was already like a mirror, he turned to look at Tu Jian behind him, and said with a cold smile, "Senior, I'm afraid that this person who worships you here will always be obsessed with Wuxiang Mountain!"
"Don't sell it, what the hell is going on?"
Zhou Yi placed the torch, slowly sat on the futon, thought for a moment, and said: "About thirty years ago, the eldest disciple of the Xuantian Divine Doctor, the Mo of the Dao name Yongxuan, set off a disaster on the rivers and lakes that exterminated humanity, does my brother know?"
"I've heard of it, but I don't know anything about it, and I just heard you talk about it today. ”
Zhou Yi looked at the flames and said quietly: "The golden pill that Ge Yuan originally used to save my Taishi Gong was swallowed by Mo, and then Ge Yuan died at his hands, so that the people who avenged it on the rivers and lakes all went forward and gave their lives one after another! Speaking of Qiqi, Zhou Yi paused slightly, "Wuxiang Mountain has been panicked since then, and there has been bad news one after another. Tu Jian's old-timers couldn't bear to see their disciples die for no reason, so they ruthlessly dismissed all the disciples and disciples. ”
"And who are they?"
"The pretty bearded Gongcang Jia, who was the best in the world back then, and a generation of beauties, known as Wen Ruyu, who is known as Xichan!"
Speaking of this, I only heard a burst of laughter outside the door, and the door of the temple immediately opened, and a person came in, it was Yu Xi.
Yu Xi wore a cloak, walked straight to the stone statue of the sword slaughter, and also bowed three times.
Zhou Yi and Sima Chun were not very surprised, she also came to the main hall four days ago, the mystery hidden here, not only they were interested, as the descendants of Wuxiang Mountain, Yu Xi had more reason to find out the reason here.
After worshipping Tu Jian, she looked back at the three stone statues behind her one by one, and there was no trace of waves on the surface, "When my grandfather went and returned, he helped the Taishi Gong to capture the Mo in a battle, whether it was at that time or in later generations, the court or the rivers and lakes, the contributions made by his old man are beyond doubt!"
When Zhou Yi heard this, he couldn't help blushing, lowered his eyebrows and pondered, but what he thought in his heart was the "Dream Words" that he couldn't let go.
"Later, some people questioned my grandfather's behavior, saying that he went and returned, leaving other brothers and sisters in an unrighteous place, and some even said that he came for meritorious service, and the purpose was to inherit the foundation of the world created by the Taishigong!
Sima Chun saw that Zhou Yi didn't answer coldly, and his form was extremely embarrassing, so he hurriedly smiled, "Old Immortal Master Zhou is a moral education from all over the world, and the two masters of Baiheshan are world-famous Taoist masters, can have such grace and might, why not be afraid of slander from people in the world!"
Yu Xi smiled coldly, raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Yi, "I'm not afraid of slander, but if it's a false accusation, it's a different matter." Wuxiangshan has been in the target of public criticism since the betrayal of the third master, and it doesn't matter if there are two more crimes, but once someone comes and imposes some false charges on my grandfather, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As he spoke, his right hand never left the hilt of the sword at his waist. Zhou Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth, his eyebrows were questioning, and all his expressions were written on his face, and he almost told the things in "Dream Words" from the beginning.
"Zhou Yi, I have called you brother since I was a child, and the same is true today, now in front of Brother Sima, let's make it clear, the words you said to Mengyan during the day were accidentally heard by me, if you have any questions about the past of Wuxiangshan, you can ask me face to face, I don't want you to confuse the relationship between you and me and some irrelevant remarks in front of her!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Yi has nothing to hide, he sighed and said bluntly, "I have nothing to say about the contribution of Yu's predecessors to the rivers and lakes, but there are indeed some entanglements in Wuxiang Mountain over the years, and the disaster has reached Baihe Mountain!"
When Yu Xi heard this, he immediately became angry, "Do you mean that ten years ago, Baihe Mountain was caused by the disaster caused by the Nine Dragons Jade Flute? The Nine Dragons Jade Flute was originally left by the Taishi Gong to the descendants of Wuxiang Mountain, and even if there was some circulation during this period, it was still in the hands of the descendants of Wuxiang Mountain. Let me ask, was it my grandfather who forced Yue Zhong to provoke disputes in the rivers and lakes and forced him to take away the Jiulong Jade Flute!"
"The Nine Dragons Jade Flute belongs to the rivers and lakes, and it is indisputable for Wu Ye to take it for himself, and the people in the rivers and lakes condemn it, so why not from a moral point of view!" Zhou Yi was completely enraged by Yu Xi, and immediately argued with her, "Also, you think that my third uncle is coveting the Nine Dragons Jade Flute, if it weren't for someone wantonly bewitching Wuxiang Mountain, why would he be like this!"
"Shut up!" Yu Xi's eyes were filled with anger, and he waved his hand and drew his sword and pointed at Zhou Yi's chest, "Shut up! If you don't make it clear today, you and I will have one ......."
As soon as Sima Chun saw that the matter was in trouble, he tried to persuade him again, but he couldn't, so he stood in the middle to block Zhou Yi and said to Yu Xi: "How can you be good, if you talk about it, you will quarrel!
Zhou Yi smiled bitterly, "Brother, you get out of the way, there is a person, if Miss Yu doesn't admit that he is a disciple of Wuxiang Mountain, I will die under this sword today, without complaint!"
Yu Xi held back her tears and asked with difficulty, "Who!"
Zhou Yi's face was indifferent, "Cangjia!"
(Impulsiveness kills people, Zhou Yi don't be impulsive, Yu Xi don't be impulsive!Everyone, encourage together!)
