Chapter Twenty-Six: Life Hangs by a Thread

The disciples gasped, and Zhang Sihai then explained: "Senior disciples, we will not arrest people without evidence. Tan Yang took advantage of the opportunity to deliver fish soup to the mine manager and waited for the opportunity to steal, and now that everyone has obtained the stolen goods, he has committed a capital crime according to the rules of the sect and must be sentenced to death. ”

Zuo Gongyuan muttered: "Who has stolen goods? Why do you say that this small wooden box is stolen?"

Seeing that someone took the lead, some disciples who had a good relationship with Tan Yang also became emboldened and opened their mouths to question.

"It's the other way around, do you dare to rebel, shut up Lao Tzu!" Cong Li scolded, "To tell you the truth, this box contains the elixir given to the mine chief by the sect master, and Tan Yang stole these elixirs, so he turned from a cultivation waste to a genius." Tan Yang's family is not a family of immortal cultivators, so he didn't rely on stealing these elixirs to enhance cultivation?"

Some disciples began to whisper, Tan Yang's sudden salted fish turned over, it was too unbelievable, and Cong Li's statement seemed to make some sense.

A disciple who had been treated by Tan Yang said: "Tan Yang's father is a practitioner of medicine, and he has known medical skills since he was a child, maybe he has prepared some elixirs, but he doesn't necessarily have to steal them. ”

Zhang Sihai said: "There is absolutely no way! The pills that can assist in cultivation in the cultivation realm are all prepared with herbs that are rich in the aura of heaven and earth, and the alchemy technique is not something that ordinary mortals can master. ”

Cong Li took out a jade talisman, held it in his hand and shook it, and said, "There is another ironclad evidence! This jade talisman was also stolen by Tan Yang from the mine manager! Everyone see, this jade talisman is not a talisman worn by ordinary mortals, it is engraved with a rune magic array, and it is a magic weapon. If it wasn't stolen, Tan Yang was a mortal, where did he get this thing?"

At this moment, most of the disciples were moved, and they all cast suspicious glances at Tan Yang.

This basin is too cleverly buckled, Tan Yang has a hard time, this jade talisman is the falling cloud order that Guan Yuzhou gave him, but he hasn't told anyone about it, even if he wants to defend himself at this time, he can't open his mouth, he is so angry that he smokes, if a spark is splashed, the whole body is estimated to explode immediately.

Cong Li took out another handful of spars and said proudly: "Everyone knows that Tan Yang, this kid is extremely cunning, and he slammed everyone on the way here, he may quibble that this jade talisman was bought, but first, he has no chance to go out of the mountain, and second, even if he buys it from a certain mine guard, but he has no less spar that he has deceived by tricks!

No one spoke anymore, and most of the disciples no longer doubted that this Tan Yang was indeed a thief!

Cong Li choked and drew his long sword, and said with a cruel smile: "I declare that Tan Yang committed the crime of theft and violated the rules of the sect, and deserved to die according to the law, and he will be punished as an example for the Ming Dynasty, and there will be no forgiveness for killing!"

As he spoke, the long sword was raised high, and the cold light flashed, slashing at Tan Yang's neck!

"Ahh

When death came, Tan Yang was not afraid, his eyes were almost bloody, he just stared at the sword blade that was getting closer and closer, and shouted angrily in his heart with all his might, surnamed Cong, Lao Tzu will not let you go if you are a ghost!

"Master Cong, stop!"

Seeing that Tan Yang was about to splatter five steps of blood, a fireball shot out of nowhere, knocking the long sword that stood tall and flew away, and at the same time, a majestic voice came from outside the courtyard.

Tan Yang escaped from death, followed the prestige, and saw Wang Zhengyan's face stern, pacing calmly from outside the courtyard.

"Participate in the mine manager!"

"See Uncle Shi!"

Cong Li, Zhang Sihai and all the mine guards bowed in unison.

Wang Zhengyan glanced at Tan Yang and Shen Mazi tied to the flagpole, frowned, and said, "Huh, what's going on?"

"Uncle Hui, the things you lost have been found, they were stolen by Tan Yang, and everyone has stolen them!" Cong Li took out the small wooden box and the Luoyun Order, bowed down and replied, "The disciples are preparing to punish him properly!"

Wang Zhengyan took the thing, a hint of surprise that could not be concealed appeared on his face, the sleeves of his robe flicked, and he rebuked in a righteous manner: "Nonsense! Human life is at stake, how can you wait for a hasty disposal? Let Tan Yang go, and wait for me to ask me clearly before making a decision." ”

After speaking, he walked into the next scripture hall without looking back.

The two mine guards hurriedly stepped forward to untie the rope and dragged Tan Yang into the scripture hall. The rest of Cong Li and Zhang Sihai looked at each other, and all the brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

After entering the scripture hall, Tan Yang's chin was returned to its original position, and the two mine guards retreated.

Tan Yang's eyes erupted with fire, looking at Wang Zhengyan without saying a word, he knew very well in his heart that it was useless to say anything now, this qiē was clearly a good bureau, without the consent of the mine manager, how could Cong Li be so bold and reckless, Wang Zhengyan, who had a beastly face in front of him, must be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Wang Zhengyan took out a pale yellow talisman, shook it casually, and the light of the talisman shattered into countless points of light, instantly turning into a pale yellow circle of light, covering the two of them, and then laughed in a low voice: "This is a soundproof note, and no one can hear our conversation." Master Tan, you are a smart person, we don't talk darkly, your life is now in the palm of my hand, if you want to die, you have to give a word!"

He tore off his disguise, Tan Yang felt more comfortable, a real villain is more acceptable than a hypocrite.

Tan Yang sneered and said, "I have studied medicine, so you don't need to come up with any home remedies." Let's just say it, what do you want to do when you think of setting up this bureau?"

Wang Zhengyan clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay! The person who knows the times is Junjie, let me ask you first, where did you get this wooden box, and what kind of elixir is it contained?"

"Huh, it's strange, this wooden box isn't what you lost, why did you ask me?" Tan Yang sneered.

"I don't have time to grind my teeth with you, I've always seen you as good, so I gave you this line of life, don't know what's wrong, if it's someone else, hehe......" Wang Zhengyan still said with a smile.

Tan Yang said: "This little wooden box was given to me by my parents, I have never opened it, and I don't even know what it contains, believe it or not." ”

"Of course I don't believe it!" Wang Zhengyan said with a smile, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, I'll understand when I open it and take a look." Now, you have made up your mind about the black cauldron of thieves, but if you can promise me one thing, I can spare you a small life, and my words count. ”

"What's the matter?" Tan Yang said.

Wang Zhengyan said: "Use your seven-step recipe to redeem your life." Your seven steps can actually hurt the two-winged demon lizard, the sect master is very interested, if you are willing to sacrifice it......"

It turned out that they not only wanted to take away the small wooden box, but also kept worrying about their seven steps.

"Cut! You liar!" Tan Yang said disdainfully, "I'm not a three-year-old child, I'll give you the formula, can I still live?"

"Smart enough! Okay, I find that Uncle Shi likes you more and more. Wang Zhengyan smiled, "Okay, I can swear to God, as long as you sacrifice the formula, I promise not to kill you!"

"Kill me, I'm afraid you don't have the guts!" Tan Yang suddenly laughed.

"Don't you believe it?" Wang Zhengyan laughed angrily, pinched the trick with his left hand, stretched out his index finger with his right hand and shook it, with a soft pop, a fireball the size of an egg suddenly came out of his fingertips, "Do you need to try it?"

"I'm someone who has died several times, you don't need to scare me, but before you kill me, you'd better take a closer look at the Cloud Falling Order in your hand. Tan Yang was not afraid at all.

"What Falling Cloud Order?" Wang Zhengyan was stunned, staring at the jade talisman in his hand, "What are you talking about?"

"Yes, what kind of pattern do you see carved on it?" Tan Yang said.

|“ Falling Cloud Peak?" Wang Zhengyan's face changed greatly, and the hand holding the talisman couldn't help but tremble a little, "Falling Cloud Order......? How did you get it?"

"If Uncle Shi wasn't so forgetful, he should remember that on the day he was attacked by the two-winged demon lizard, Guan Yuzhou once went to the forest alone with me, and this Falling Cloud Order was given to me by him. Tan Yang said.

Wang Zhengyan couldn't help believing it a little, and hesitated: "Since you have such a big backer, why didn't you show it when Cong Li wanted to kill you just now?"

"You are framed out of nothing, and you are afraid that I will tell you, so Cong Li dislocated my jaw at the beginning, how can I have a chance to speak?" Tan Yang said hatefully.

Wang Zhengyan hesitated in a dilemma, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly laughed: "Haha, you kid is cunning enough, and you almost got blind." Since Guan Yuzhou is so favored to send you to Luoyun Ling, why didn't he just take you away at that time? This shows that people don't take you seriously at all. I don't believe that the old devil of Luoyun Peak, who has a lot of mana, will really fall in love with an ordinary mountain village kid with a single spirit source! Tan Yang, you can really pull the banner and make a tiger skin, hahaha......"

"Hahaha......" Tan Yang laughed even louder, as if he had heard something extremely ridiculous.

Wang Zhengyan couldn't help but be stunned, and hesitated: "What are you laughing at? Isn't what I said wrong?"

In fact, Tan Yang himself was puzzled by Guan Yuzhou's sending the cloud order but not saving himself, and he guessed many reasons, but he couldn't even convince himself, Wang Zhengyan This old thief is indeed cunning and cunning, and he hit the key point at a glance.

The reason why Tan Yang laughed out loud was that he overwhelmed the other party in terms of momentum and made Wang Zhengyan feel that his thoughts were extremely ridiculous, and second, he didn't know how to answer at all, so he took the opportunity of laughing to buy himself a little time to think. This kind of laughter is very important to master, too much will appear weak, too light will not achieve the effect.

After laughing for a moment, Tan Yang thought nervously as he said, "Originally, when Guan Yuzhou gave me the Falling Cloud Order, he asked me that this matter must be kept secret, and now, I have to reveal one or two things to you." It's just that God knows that you know and I know this matter, Uncle Shi, don't mention it to a third person, otherwise I will be in big trouble. ”

Wang Zhengyan snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, I naturally know, don't be verbose, say it quickly." ”
