Readers usually see that within a story, every male god will have a special woman in his heart, his vermillion mark, his glittering moonlight…
This person is definitely both beautiful and int...
"There is too much evidence." Li Yuebai sighed, "All the evidence is clearly presented on this piece of letter paper."
People looked at the old letter recovered from the ashes, but could not see where the evidence was.
"Please look carefully at the handwriting," Li Yuebai said, "Do you notice that the ink color of some characters is different?"
Ink is all black, so it is normal for it to have different shades. If you don't observe carefully, you really won't notice anything wrong.
"Even if the ink is different shades, so what?" Ge Huai frowned and said, "When writing, you have to dip the brush in ink several times. When you first dip the brush in thick ink, the words you write will naturally be darker. When you finish writing half a line, the ink will become lighter, which is also natural."
"That's right." Li Yuebai said, "According to what Master Ge said, if this letter was written in one go, the ink color should be regular, right?"
"This..." Ge Huai felt like he had fallen into a hole he had dug himself.
"And this old letter has a completely irregular change in the color of the ink." Li Yuebai pointed at a few words and said, "In this half sentence, only the second word has a particularly light ink color. May I ask, how was this written?"
"..." Ge Huai had nothing to say, so he could only reluctantly say: "Mr. Tianji does things as he pleases, or he writes on and off, so it is not impossible for him to write a letter like this."
"Then let me ask the second question." Li Yuebai said, "Why is there no connected writing in the old letter?"
"Connected strokes?"
"It's two words connected together." Li Yuebai said, "When writing quickly, there are often connected strokes. In old letters, there are no connected strokes at all. Each word is separated independently and far apart..."
Looking at the new letter written by Yu Tianji, there are several words connected together.
"If the old letter was really pieced together by Tian Liujun as I said, each word must have been cut out separately during the piecemeal process, so naturally there would be no connected strokes." Li Yuebai said.
"You can't say that! How do we know what Tianji was like when he wrote this old letter?" Ge Huai's face flushed, and he argued, "Maybe Tianji didn't like to write in a linked way at that time, who knows."
"Indeed, we cannot make a conclusion based on these alone." Several old immortals stroked their beards, not knowing how to judge, and could only ask: "Master Mu, do you have any other reasons?"
"Yes, but not many." Li Yuebai said, "I'm afraid there is only one reason left."
"Please speak."
"I will read a sentence from the letter, and you can all listen." Li Yuebai pointed to the two letters floating in the air and read: "…………I have admired the Left Protector for a long time…………Kunlun Mountain is thousands of feet high, easy to defend but difficult to attack…………"
"..." Even Yu Tianji couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body after hearing these two sentences.
He first said that he admired the Left Protector of the Demon Cult, and then mentioned the terrain conditions of Kunlun, showing the true face of a traitor.
In the eyes of some people, it is possible that a careless person like Yu Tianji could write such a letter.
"What's the problem with these two sentences?" Everyone was puzzled by Li Yuebai's intention.
"There are two strange words here." Li Yuebai said.
"Which two words?"
"The word [has] and the word [high]."
"These two words..." Everyone looked at the letter again and indeed found something different.
The handwriting of the two words on the old and new letters is almost the same, obviously from the same person, but there are some slight differences in the writing style, and if you don't look carefully, you can't tell them apart.
In the old letters, the words "了" and "高" are both written correctly and there is no problem with them.
In the new letter written by Yu Tianji, the characters "了" and "高" were written incorrectly. There was an extra dot under the character "了", but the dot at the top of the character "高" was missing.
"Why... why is it so?" Everyone was puzzled: "Did Tianji write the wrong word?"
"There are more than just these two typos." Someone mocked, "I've heard that Tianji Jun is uneducated and incompetent. I just read these two letters and found that there are seven or typo eights... Why didn't the seniors point them out?"
"Wrong characters are unavoidable." An old immortal nodded slightly and said, "The focus of this old man and others is to compare the handwriting, so we did not raise the issue of wrong characters..."
"Then Master Mu, what is your intention in singleing out these two wrong words now?" Ge Huai asked.
"I believe Master Mu has his reasons." Someone interrupted, "Didn't everyone see that? Only these two words were written correctly in the old letter and wrong in the new letter. The rest of the wrong words are exactly the same in both letters."
"That's what I want to say." Li Yuebai sighed, "The Immortal Lord has never written these two words correctly."
"..." Yu Tianji was slightly embarrassed, but quickly covered his eyes with thick eyelids, coughed, and said, "I am really sorry for my lack of talent and knowledge."
"Whenever the Immortal Lord writes, he always likes to add or subtract strokes, or add a dot, or miss a dot." Li Yuebai sent someone to fetch some imperial edicts and letters written by Yu Tianji. After searching through them, he found the characters "有" (yi) with dots added and "高" (gao) with dots missing. "The Immortal Lord has never changed the way these two characters are written. He has always made the same mistake."
"..." Everyone was in a trance, and felt as if they were not in the world of immortal cultivation, but in some chaotic demon world.
Which chief priest would have the audacity to publicize the fact that his own immortal master wrote a wrong character?
Which immortal master would be so shameless as to admit that he has always made spelling mistakes and refused to correct them?
This session of Kunlun is really weird.
"Master Mu's meaning is..."
"What it means is that the old letter that Tian Liujun took out was not written by the Immortal Lord." Li Yuebai said.
"Perhaps Lord Tianji received guidance from others when he was writing the letter to the Left Protector of the Demon Realm." Ge Huai said.
"Impossible." Li Yuebai said in a deep voice: "I have personally instructed the Immortal Master no less than a hundred times, but the Immortal Master has never listened once."
Everyone was shocked once again by Yu Tianji's ignorance.
"Pfft..." Even the system couldn't help but laugh.
"What's so funny about this?" Li Yuebai frowned.
"Hahahahaha..." The system couldn't stop laughing: "Sorry host, but hahahahaha..."
"I'm very serious, okay?" Li Yuebai said with great sorrow: "I'm a Chinese teacher... Do you know how it feels to be a Chinese teacher who can't teach students to write such simple characters?"
During the time when Li Yuebai was distracted from the system, everyone had the opportunity to digest this fact.
"Master Mu, what you mean is that since the two words on the old letter are written correctly, it can be proved that they were not written by Tianji Jun?" asked a cultivator.
"Not only because it is the correct way to write it." Li Yuebai casually performed a small magic to enlarge the two words: "It is also because, as I said before, the old letter was cut by Yu Tianliu, and these two words are clearly evidence of cutting."
"Cut..."
Li Yuebai said: "In the world of cultivating immortals, letters and manifestos are all written in vertical order. The word [了] and the word [高] are likely to be adjacent to each other. I have discussed this with the Immortal Lord, and the conclusion is that a few years ago, the Immortal Lord had corresponded with my elder brother, and he inevitably mentioned the word [老事久了] in the letter. As for the content of the sentence, it is very likely that he was talking about my father..."
Yu Tianji sighed, "I didn't write many letters to my elder brother, so I have some impression of each one. I haven't forgotten them all. The word "old age" is probably something I wrote before."
"Recently, Tian Liu Jun tried to frame the Immortal Lord. The method he used was, of course, to collect the letters the Immortal Lord had written and pieced them together into a so-called "secret letter to the Demon Cult." Li Yuebai smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that Tian Liu Jun't expect the Immortal Lord's typos to be so bizarre, so he just cut it according to the correct writing method, and unexpectedly cut the dot that should have been below the word [有] to the top of the word [高]. The two words were separated and placed, with the south and the north connected, so no one noticed the suspicious point."
"But, isn't this too coincidental?" Someone was dissatisfied: "How could Tianji Jun's spelling mistake be so clever? It just happens to prove his innocence?"
"Because the Immortal Master made too many typos." Li Yuebai said this reluctantly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Even if it is not proven here, it will be proven somewhere else."
"Ryu-kun was too careless that day. He didn't even remember his brother's spelling mistakes."
"Tian Liu Jun is very careful. You can see that there are many typos in the old letter. Tian Liu Jun noticed them all. There are no editing errors." Li Yuebai smiled bitterly: "It's the same sentence. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the Immortal Lord for making too many typos. Tian Liu Jun couldn't guard against them."
"The system feels that even if you, the host, prove Tianji Jun's innocence, Tianji Jun will not have the face to be the Immortal Lord in the future." The system was still laughing breathlessly.
"This... is a lie!" Ge Huai said, "Based on just two wrong characters, you say that it was forged by Tian Liujun. This is not enough evidence!"
"Whether the old letter is cut or not, everyone can judge for themselves." Li Yuebai pointed to the two pieces of letter paper floating in the air and said.
Before he said this, everyone's attention had already been focused on the two pieces of letter paper.
The evidence that looked like it was nailed to the board was actually made up of cuts and pieces. Everyone found this very novel.
"I am ignorant. Is there any magic that can put cut pieces of paper together?" someone asked.
"There is no magic spell specifically for splicing letter paper, but there is magic spell for repairing old things and removing cracks, which is generally used to heal wounds on people." An old doctor stroked his long beard and sighed: "If it is applied to letter paper, it is not difficult."
"I have been practicing calligraphy for many years. Now, after Master Mu's advice, I can understand it about 70% of the time." An old man sighed, "The dot above the character [高] on the old letter is obviously not part of the character [高] and was not written in one go. Because it is just a dot, I missed it when I was identifying the handwriting just now. Now that I look at it again, it is completely out of place. That dot is exactly the same as the dot below the character [已] on the new letter."
"Yes, plus the contrast between the dark and light ink colors, it does make sense to say that this old letter was cut and pieced together." Another old man agreed.
The public's opinions were increasingly leaning towards Li Yuebai's side, simply because the two typos were too obvious.
There were even immortal masters from various major immortal sects who took out the invitation letters written by Yu Tianji to themselves and looked at them carefully for comparison.
Sure enough, those invitation letters were full of typos, even with "已" (i) having a dot added and "高" (gao) having a dot missing.
Yu Tianliu's expression gradually became ugly.
He coughed and said in a deep voice: "I don't care whether this old letter was cut and pieced together or not. Anyway, I received it from that evil cult thief. Even if it was cut and pieced together, it is very likely that Yu Tianji cut and pieced it together himself."
"Brother, what you said is very strange. Although I am not talented and my words are full of mistakes, at least I can write a letter myself. Of course, I didn't write it to the Demon Sect." Yu Tianji looked aggrieved: "Why should I waste my energy and do this thankless task? Could it be that I have opened my eyes and could predict that I would be criticized by you today, so I did it in advance?"
"Sweet talk!" Yu Tianliu snorted coldly, "Perhaps you wanted to write a letter to the Demon Cult, and you wanted to use your own handwriting to show your sincerity, but you also wanted to prevent outsiders from discovering it, so you used a trick to slander those who found the letter."
"This is outrageous. You secretly pieced together this immortal master's letter and continue to slander me. This immortal master will not tolerate it." Yu Tianji must have lost all shamelessness a long time ago and started to speak in a strange tone and make faces.
"That's all I have to say about the handwriting." Seeing that everyone had almost finished their discussion, Li Yuebai ended his defense of the handwriting: "Next, it's the question of the letter paper."
"What's wrong with the letter paper?" Ge Huai was still gritting his teeth over the handwriting, but he didn't expect Li Yuebai to move on to the next topic: "That old letter was restored from the ashes by the immortals using magic, what's the problem with it?"
"If you have finished reading the writing, then put away the spell to maintain the restoration." Li Yuebai said, "It's time to take another look at what the pile of ashes looks like."
Soon, the two pieces of letter paper floating in the air were put down, and the old letter was placed on the altar. The spell was retracted, and everyone watched helplessly as the letter paper turned back into a pile of black ash.
"I wonder if the evil cult thief captured by Tian Liujun is still alive?" Li Yuebai said, "Yesterday, in front of all the immortals, he clearly explained where he got the black ash from. Now, can you ask him to tell it again?"
"Of course you can." Yu Tianliu sneered and sent someone to bring out the barrier again.
Zhan Mi still looked the same as yesterday, neither human nor ghost, his hands and feet were chained, his appearance was horrible, his expression was timid, and he begged for mercy as soon as he came up, "My fellow immortals, I have told you the truth clearly, can you please show some mercy and let me go?"
Yu Tianliu's guards immediately kicked him hard and shouted angrily, "Say it again what you said yesterday!"
"Ah? Say it again?" Zhan Mi said with a bitter face: "Say it a hundred times, it's still the same words!"
"If some people don't believe it, you must keep talking until they believe it." Ge Huai sneered.
“Yes, yes, I will tell you right away.” Zhan Mi said with a bitter face: “My name is Zhan Mi, and I am a subordinate of the Left Protector of the Demon Cult…”
"No need to start so early." Yu Tianliu coughed lightly, "Just tell me when you found the letter."
"Wait." Li Yuebai suddenly said, "I suspect that Tian Liu Jun is colluding with this evil cult villain, and will give him advice and tell him how to speak and how to slander Tian Ji Jun."
"Nonsense, slander." Yu Tianliu said angrily, with a righteous look.
"If Tian Liujun really has no collusion with the thieves, please step aside. This way, the thieves can be questioned for a true confession." Li Yuebai insisted.
"What a joke! If Tian Liu-jun avoids the issue, won't he be able to hear what this villain said? How can this be fair?" Ge Huai argued.
"How about this?" Li Yuebai took a step back. "Can you please, immortals, put up a barrier between Tian Liu Jun and the evil cult thieves? I heard that there is a one-way barrier that prevents Tian Liu Jun's words from being heard by the thieves, but Tian Liu Jun can hear the words of the thieves."
"Master Mu, are you openly suspecting me?" Yu Tianliu raised his eyebrows coldly.
"It's just to avoid suspicion. If Tian Liu Jun doesn't dare, then it's really suspicious." Li Yuebai said: "Then I can only conclude that Tian Liu Jun is in cahoots with this thief. I must warn him all the time!"
Everyone had long been suspicious of Yu Tianliu, and after weighing the pros and cons, Yu Tianliu had no choice but to accept this condition.
A blue barrier was created by magic, a one-way sound barrier that was very effective. The interrogation continued.
After getting his consent, Zhan Mi continued to tell his story.
"That day, I was serving in the alchemy room. The Left Protector and his close subordinates were also discussing important matters in the alchemy room. I heard the Left Protector say that he had received a handwritten letter from Tianji Jun, which mentioned cooperation matters... Tianji Jun said that he wanted to inherit the position of the Immortal Lord of Kunlun, but unfortunately his father was in poor health and his brother was quite powerful. If nothing unexpected happened, he would have no hope of succession. Tianji Jun also said that he knew that the Left Protector and the Right Protector were not in harmony, so he suggested that the Left Protector promote this war and let the Right Protector lead people to attack Kunlun." Zhan Mi spoke very fluently, without even changing a word.
"These words are exactly the same as yesterday's, not even the words have been changed." Li Yuebai said: "It doesn't seem like it was searched out from memory, but rather it seems to be recited!"
He said this in a low voice, but it frightened Zhan Mi so much that he shuddered.
"...This...this immortal doesn't believe me?" Zhan Mi's eyes turned around in fear, looked at Yu Tianliu, and then shrank back in fear.
"It's okay, just keep talking." Li Yuebai smiled.
"The Left Protector also took out the letter written to him by Tianji Jun. I saw it clearly from the side. After reading the letter and discussing with his subordinates, the Left Protector threw the letter into the alchemy furnace, and it burned to ashes in a moment. After the Left Protector and his subordinates left, I stole the ashes out."
"That alchemy furnace, is it the alchemy furnace of your Demonic Cult?" Li Yuebai asked.
"Yes, yes." Zhan Mi responded repeatedly.
"That's right. I don't think there would be an alchemy furnace like those of a famous and upright sect in the alchemy room of the Demon Cult. If you say there is, I would doubt whether you are a member of the Demon Cult."
"No, of course not. Of course there is only the Demon Cult's alchemy furnace in our Demon Cult's alchemy room!" Zhan Mi responded repeatedly, eager to prove that he was a real member of the Demon Cult.
"Then tell me, why can the magic cult's alchemy furnace burn out black ash?" Li Yuebai stared at Zhan Mi closely: "The magic cult's alchemy furnace uses the evil Nine Flavors True Fire, which is different from the Three Flavors True Fire of the famous and upright sects. When the Nine Flavors True Fire burns paper, the ashes produced can only be grayish white. How can it produce black ashes?"
"This... this..."
"Yes! Although I am not talented, I have heard that the magic sect's alchemy technique is different." Yu Tianji sighed, "When I was young, I was naughty and threw a scroll into my own alchemy furnace. As a result, it burned into black ashes. At that time, an immortal master taught me that if it was the magic sect's Nine Flavors True Fire, it would burn out grayish white, not black."
"Could it be that you are not a member of the Demon Cult at all, but just an imposter?" Li Yuebai's voice was not loud, but his words were pressing: "I'm afraid this letter was not burned in the Demon Cult's alchemy furnace at all, right?"
"This... is unfair. I am really a member of the Demonic Cult!" Zhan Mi cried out in injustice.
"Then, how do you explain that the Demon Cult's alchemy furnace burns out black ashes?" Li Yuebai sneered, "Unless, it's because you, the Demon Cult, have just flattened the Huanong Immortal Mountain and moved the Huanong Immortal Mountain's alchemy furnace into your Demon Cult's alchemy room! Otherwise, there is no other explanation."
"..." Zhan Mi looked around in horror and found himself isolated and helpless, unable to find anyone to help. After his eyes rolled around, he finally gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes! Just as the immortal said! We happened to have received the alchemy furnace from the Huanlong Immortal Mountain at that time and placed it in our alchemy room. I remembered it wrong before! The left protector threw the letter into the alchemy furnace of the Huanlong Immortal Mountain, so it burned out black ashes!"
"But the alchemy furnace in the Huanlong Immortal Mountain burns the Three Flames True Fire, which is extremely lethal to the followers of the Demon Cult. You must have burned your hands when you took out the ash from it, right?" Li Yuebai asked.
"Yes, yes, but the minor injury has healed, so it's okay, it's okay." Zhan Mi nodded repeatedly.
"This time, can you really remember it clearly and not change it again?" Li Yuebai asked word by word.
"Everything I say is true. I would never lie to you!"
"Did everyone hear it clearly?" Li Yuebai raised his head with a smile and asked the major immortal sects.
The major immortal sects nodded silently.
"I don't need to say anything more. You all should know that this evil cult villain never speaks a word of truth." Li Yuebai said, "What he said yesterday about the Immortal Lord was all lies."
"Yes, the words of this evil cult thief are indeed untrustworthy." An old immortal nodded and sighed, "Mr. Tian Liu, this evil cult thief you brought here probably knows nothing about the situation in the evil cult's alchemy room."
"...Why can you be so sure?" Several young monks didn't understand what they were talking about and were very confused.
"Because what I just said about the ashes was all lies." Li Yuebai sighed: "Whether the ashes are black or white has nothing to do with the alchemy furnace. Whether it is the magic sect or the righteous alchemy furnace, they can burn black and white ashes. It only depends on the material of the paper and the furnace temperature."
"This..."
"I didn't expect Zhan Mei to believe my lies, so he swore to continue making up stories based on my lies." Li Yuebai sighed, "Next, what I said about the alchemy furnace in Hualong Mountain is also false. Hualong Mountain was razed to the ground by the Demon Cult, but all the alchemy furnaces in Hualong Mountain were tightly sealed in their original locations. It is impossible for the Demon Cult to take them away. If you don't believe it, you can go to the ruins of Hualong Mountain to pay your respects."
"That is to say..."
"This so-called Demon Cult thief may not be a Demon Cult thief at all, and may have never worked in the Demon Cult's alchemy room." Li Yuebai said: "In the end, he is just full of lies."
