"Nonsense, Guan Daoyou is a distinguished guest, Chang Hao, you..."
The good old man Heyang saw Chang Hao and Guan Liyuan in conflict and wanted to persuade them, but Chang Hao said first: "Uncle Heyang, our Shushan has been established for more than 500 years. We have been ordered by the gods and uphold the righteousness of the human world. Do we have to set a precedent and allow monsters to enter the sacred land of Shushan? Moreover,
when we were in Yuzhou City, I was just doing a routine inspection and advised him not to keep monsters in captivity. Unexpectedly, he relied on his higher cultivation than me and was arrogant and unreasonable. He even slandered Shushan. I suggest that I capture this man first and then interrogate him carefully!" After
Heyang was interrupted, he didn't know what to say. It was easy to slap Chang Hao in the face. Even if he was Qingwei's apprentice, he could "slap" him.
However, after Xu Changqing was expelled from Shushan, Chang Hao regarded himself as the "big brother" among this generation of young disciples. And indeed, after Xu Changqing left, Chang Hao was a popular candidate for the next generation of the head.
Although Xu Changqing returned to Shushan later, he has always been a lay disciple and is not among the candidates for the headmaster.
If He Yang had known that Chang Hao would say this, he would not have let him come out at all, but since he came out and said it, He Yang also had to take into account the image of Shushan!
As for what Chang Hao said about "arrogance and unreasonableness" and "slandering Shushan", He Yang also understood that it might not be true, and it was probably Chang Hao's exaggeration, but it should be true that he had a conflict with Chang Hao.
"This Taoist friend, be careful with your words! Brother Guan has done me a favor in Penglai, and he has always been on good terms with Senior Brother Xu of your sect..."
Yu Heng mentioned Xu Changqing, which undoubtedly made Chang Hao even more unhappy: "Humph, Senior Brother Yu Heng doesn't know that Senior Brother Xu Changqing has been expelled from the sect once because he mistakenly made friends with monsters. Now he is just a lay disciple. It can be seen that Xu Changqing's vision of judging people... is limited!"
Yu Heng really didn't know about this before. After all, Shushan didn't make a big fuss about it, and Shang Fengzi was not a gossipy person, so he didn't mention it to other Penglai disciples.
Guan Liyuan laughed inwardly. Although he understood that Qingwei called Zixuan a "monster" because she was deceiving her disciples and actually knew that Zixuan was a "human", if we really want to talk about the first Shushan leader who called the descendants of Nuwa a "monster", it seems that we have to count Qingwei.
"Ahem, actually before I came to Shushan, I did want to keep Cangying at the foot of the mountain for a while." Guan Liyuan said, and he reached out and touched Cangying's head.
Hearing the response from the "person involved", the other Shushan disciples also looked over.
Guan Liyuan paused, and then attracted everyone's attention before continuing, "But it was because I met Taoist Chang Hao once in Yuzhou City that I felt that the area near Shushan was not safe either, so I brought Cangying with me." Chang
Hao heard that Guan Liyuan was in Shushan and dared to poke him with a sarcasm, and he could not help but angrily said, "That's right! How can there be a place safe from monsters at the foot of Shushan?" Without
Guan Liyuan's reminder, Xuejian at the side immediately said, "Huh? Brother Guan, is the ancient vine monster we saw in the ancient vine forest a monster?"
Xuejian has grown up... In front of outsiders, Xuejian still knows to call "Brother Guan" instead of calling it "monster".
"Of course it is a monster, and it is a monster of the blood-eating way! But the ancient vine monster is so big, covering several hectares... I think the Shushan disciples didn't see it because of carelessness." Guan Liyuan said.
"Oh, that's right. It's so big, and it's only been there for a hundred years. There are only a few thousand Shushan disciples. It's normal that they didn't see it." Xuejian nodded.
This is a blatant mockery... What do you mean by "so big", "only a few decades", "only a few thousand"? It's clearly saying that it's abnormal not to see it!
For a moment, the faces of other Shushan disciples were also a little ugly. Chang Hao secretly hated that he had actually suggested this to his master Qingwei. At least the ancient vine monster should be expelled.
However, at that time, the five elders of Shushan often sat and discussed with the ancient vine fairy, so naturally they would not pay attention to the "immature" suggestions of a disciple like him.
"The monsters in the ancient vine forest were imprisoned by the ancient vine fairy in order to reform them... Who are you?" Chang Hao was still stubborn.
In front of Guan Liyuan, just like He Yang's concerns, Chang Hao would not say that Shushan handled it improperly!
Guan Liyuan narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and the third eye on his forehead faintly opened a red slit. The Shushan disciples were somewhat alert upon seeing this, and the Penglai disciples immediately became alert on Guan Liyuan's side upon seeing this. For a moment, the situation was very awkward...
"It seems that Shushan means that it cannot tolerate those cultivators who dare to accept demon pets without sufficient cultivation?" Guan Liyuan said with a ruthless tone.
Just when He Yang was still trying to "make peace", two more people walked down from the rainbow bridge!
This time, Guan Liyuan recognized one of them as Xu Changqing who had returned to Shushan.
The other person was an old man with a skinny figure and a stern face. Guan Liyuan could see that his cultivation was similar to He Yang's, and both had survived the triple thunder tribulation... I think he was also one of the five elders of Shushan.
Hearing the greetings from the Shushan disciples, Guan Liyuan realized that this person was Cang Gu, one of the five elders of Shushan!
It seems that the seal of the Demon Locking Tower has been almost set up, and two of the five elders of Shushan can come to the mountain gate, and they don't have to guard the Demon Locking Tower all the time.
In the original work, after Qingwei was killed by the Evil Sword Immortal, Canggu served as the acting head for a period of time. In the end, when the other three elders fought against the Evil Sword Immortal together and were seriously injured and dying, he ignored all opinions and even ignored the fact that Xu Changqing had a fiancée at the time, and forcibly passed the throne to Xu Changqing... and did not choose Chang Hao, who now seems to have a great advantage!
It can be seen that Canggu's vision is still very high.
If there was no Canggu's passing, after Zixuan sacrificed herself, Xu Changqing would definitely find a place to retire to the mountains...
It was precisely because of the "restraint" of the position of Shushan that Xu Changqing temporarily suppressed his grief for Zixuan and devoted himself to the career of the head of Shushan, achieving the most glorious period of Shushan!
At this time, Canggu was in Shushan and also presided over the criminal law. When he saw Canggu coming over, the breathing sounds of all Shushan disciples became smaller. Seeing Canggu staring at him, Chang Hao also felt weak in his heart. In addition to his master Qingwei, Chang Hao was most afraid of Canggu.
However, Cang Gu only glared at Chang Hao for a few seconds and did not teach him a lesson. Instead, he turned to Guan Liyuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Guan, what you said is wrong. We allowed the ancient vine monster to be imprisoned in the ancient vine forest not because the ancient vine immortal's cultivation was high enough, but because we trusted the ancient vine immortal and would not let the monster escape and cause harm to the people."
If it was Cang Gu, he would have "slapped" Chang Hao as soon as he opened his mouth...
But now the situation has been frozen here, and Cang Gu cannot scold Chang Hao in front of outsiders, otherwise it will be Shushan's face!
"Fellow Daoist Cang Gu is saying that my cultivation is too low and I can't protect Cang Ying?" Seeing Cang Gu say this, Guan Liyuan also directly retorted the word "protect", and the meaning of the accusation was already very obvious.
Moreover, He Yang was polite to Guan Liyuan before, calling him "Daoyou", but Guan Liyuan always called him "senior", but now he directly followed Cang Gu's words and called him "Daoyou Cang Gu", which showed that he was also angry...
"Daoyou Guan, how about we both take a step back? I will hand this monster over to me first, and help her find a place to rest. I will confirm that she has no human blood, and I will take her away when Daoyou Guan leaves. With my reputation, Daoyou won't be suspicious of me, right?" Cang Gu said after a pause.
Guan Liyuan found that Cangying was obviously very scared and hid behind Xue Jian, so he shook his head and said, "Forget it, the threshold of Shushan is too high, and I can't afford it. I have done what the head of Shang Fengzi asked me to do, so I'll take my leave now!"
