When Guan Liyuan heard that it was Shushan again, his face darkened. Jingtian tried to smooth things over: "Haha, it seems that Shushan is also embarrassed and wants to drag everyone up the mountain to save face."
"Humph." Guan Liyuan also knew that Shushan was unlikely to embarrass Luoluo Mountain now. What Jingtian said was actually the most likely guess, but he still humphed unhappily. After all,
no matter how arrogant Shushan was, he arrived on the same day. Now he even dragged everyone to wait at the foot of the mountain... Is there really no intention of protesting? In
short, Guan Liyuan was not very happy. Instead, he decided to blackmail them even harder tomorrow!
Guan Liyuan went to see Senior Brother Qing Leng first. After becoming an immortal, the "bitterness" that was always on Qing Leng's face had faded a lot. The news that Shushan was at the foot of the mountain did not move him at all. He just casually asked Guan Liyuan whether the trip to the ghost world went smoothly. However, Guan Liyuan talked about another thing...
"Senior brother, don't blame me for being nosy. When I was in the ghost world, I happened to know a ghost messenger. I asked him to check whether the woman who committed suicide in Anxing Village, Ji'an Prefecture, Jizhou, Jiangnan Road ninety years ago... had reincarnated. It was discovered that she entered the reincarnation well shortly after committing suicide, and her luck after death was very good. Generally, people who commit suicide are mostly dead ghosts, but that woman was a human ghost. I think she has already reincarnated..."
After Guan Liyuan finished speaking, he looked at Qing Leng's mournful look, and did not say a word. He directly walked out of the house.
As for the so-called acquaintance with the ghost messenger, it was naturally fake. The so-called ghost messengers... eight out of ten are greedy for money. Guan Liyuan bribed a ghost messenger with his good deeds and specifically checked the records on the reincarnation well...
After putting his worries to rest, Guan Liyuan waited quietly for the ascension ceremony the next day.
Unexpectedly, there was a "big noise" at the foot of the mountain early the next morning!
Guan Liyuan was waiting for visitors from various factions in front of the mountain gate of Luoluo Mountain at first, but he ended up waiting for a sword light flying across the sky!
When he first saw someone flying over on a sword, Guan Liyuan was secretly angry - he dared to fly over someone else's mountain gate on a sword, was he here to provoke?
However, Guan Liyuan soon discovered that this did not seem like a provocation, but rather very embarrassing... like he was running for his life?
The sword light stopped at the gate of Green Rose Mountain. Among them was Canggu's somewhat embarrassed figure, with Chang Hao beside him...
Seeing this scene, Guan Liyuan asked with some gloating: "Oh? Elder Canggu, did you encounter a mountain spirit or a water monster, or a bandit? Why did you flee in panic?"
After saying that, Guan Liyuan looked at Chang Hao in surprise. This guy actually looked so frightened, but did not retort? This is a bit different from Guan Liyuan's impression of a dead duck mouth!
Canggu also smiled bitterly and said: "Fellow Daoist Guan, you are joking. Wait a minute, Canyun and the others..."
Canggu had just said halfway, and saw several various escape lights chasing up from behind, and fell in front of the mountain gate. Guan Liyuan basically didn't recognize these people, but no matter whether it was the escape light school or the clothes and appearance, they all looked like people from the righteous way. There were more than a dozen of them, and each of them was a half-immortal!
"What's going on here, everyone? Someone is chasing you too?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
In fact, Guan Liyuan also saw that they were not being chased, but it seemed that they were chasing Canggu!
"Hmm? This is... Daoist Fellow Yichen? I am Daoist Cangyun of Cangyun Temple in Cangyun Mountain..." An old man in Taoist robes bowed to Guan Liyuan first.
This man is also half of the "three meals a day", and I don't know if his senior brother is called Yiyi...
"I am not being chased by thieves, but chasing this crazy old thief!" Cangyun said and pointed at Canggu.
The other half-immortals also glared at him, looking like they were going to take action.
On the other hand, Canggu's face trembled at this time, and Chang Hao... continued to panic, and didn't even mean to fight back?
"What did this old thief do?" Guan Liyuan vaguely guessed the reason, but he still asked according to Cangyun's words.
Canggu's face was as red as the bottom of a pot, but he wisely didn't say it now.
At this time, more than a dozen half-immortals and dozens of disciples from Gangfeng Realm and Sanhuo Realm came up together.
It has to be said that Cang Gu is very strong - so many people are chasing him. Although most of the semi-immortals are at the first or second tribulation, and the strongest, such as Cang Yun, have only reached the third tribulation, if it were an ordinary semi-immortal at the third tribulation, he would have been pinned down and beaten to death long ago . However, Cang Gu not only escaped by himself, but also took Chang Hao with him to escape...
At this time, another semi-immortal at the third tribulation, who looked gray-haired, with a hunched back, and an old woman leaning on a tiger-headed cane, stood up and said indignantly: "What did you do? So that fellow Daoist Yichen would know... I am Sun Shengjing from Bixia Island. Some time ago, I heard that fellow Daoist Yichen and fellow Daoist Qingleng ascended to immortality, so I came out of the island to congratulate them, and brought two girls of my apprentice's generation to broaden my horizons.
As a result, when I rushed to Yunmengze yesterday, I met the old thief Cang Gu, Invited me to stay at the foot of the mountain temporarily. Considering that we are all fellow Taoists from Jiuzhou, and because of the reputation that Shushan had gained in the past, I agreed!
Who would have thought that just last night... the little thief from Shushan wanted to do something unlawful to my two disciples. Hua Qing and Hua Wu resisted vigorously and made a noise. Then I and several fellow Taoists arrived in time. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly... the old thief Cang Gu was so cruel that he not only protected the little thief, but also killed the two girls Hua Qing and Hua Wu in front of me to silence them!
Later, during the siege, fellow Taoist Ning Kong and more than a dozen young people from various factions were killed by him... He couldn't resist, so he fled to this Green Rose Mountain..."
Guan Liyuan was stunned when he heard this. He originally just wanted to eat melons, but who knew that this melon... was too big!
Even if Guan Liyuan had prejudices against the five elders of Shushan, he would never believe that Cang Gu would do such a thing.
However, the semi-immortals present, as well as the other disciples of various sects, all spoke with conviction, and it was obvious that they had seen it with their own eyes, so they were so sure!
In this case, it seems that there is only one possibility - the Evil Sword Immortal!
"Fellow Taoists, please listen to what I have to say... I am 127 years old this year. I went to Shushan when I was seven years old. I have practiced for two whole sixty years. I have killed thousands of monsters and never hurt a mortal... This unworthy nephew of mine has also practiced in Shushan for more than 20 years and has a reputation in the secular world... How could we do such a thing that is worse than pigs and dogs?" Canggu explained with a bitter face. "
Ha! What a ridiculous thing! You old thief Canggu, you just killed my uncle, and now you turn around and deny it?" A young Taoist disciple shouted in sorrow and anger at this time.
"My nephew, the Lord of Ningkong Mountain you mentioned has known me for decades. How could I... I just arrived and saw that you Taoist friends wanted to attack Chang Hao without any explanation, so I took him all the way to escape to Green Rose Mountain. I was still traveling overnight last night..." Canggu explained with difficulty.
"Huh? Elder Canggu and Chang Hao didn't arrive together?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"That's right. When I passed by Jingzhou, I heard about two demon disasters, one big and one small. So I went north to eliminate a demon king, and my nephew Chang Hao went to Shuye Mountain to eliminate a small demon. We acted separately and agreed to meet at Luluo Mountain today." Canggu said. As Canggu
said this, he bowed to Guan Liyuan and said, "Fellow Daoist Guan, you have also experienced the matter of the Evil Sword Immortal. I beg you to explain it to me. If you have any orders in the future, I will do my best to help... The reputation of Shushan for hundreds of years cannot be ruined by my hands!"
Guan Liyuan curled his lips when he heard this, but he was not prepared to really trick him. No matter what the relationship with Shushan was, the matter of the Evil Sword Immortal must be explained to everyone clearly, otherwise... wouldn't it be a repetition of the Penglai incident? Thinking of this, Guan Liyuan looked down on the Five Elders of Shushan!
Just when Guan Liyuan was about to speak, he heard a cold voice from afar: "Shushan's reputation? Didn't Shushan produce a shameless person like me who stole a married woman? Why do you have to wash away your injustice?"
The voice sounded very far away, but as soon as the voice arrived, Qing Leng himself shrunk into an inch and appeared in front of everyone! Obviously, Qing Leng
still couldn't let go of Shushan. After discovering that something happened at the mountain gate, he rushed over and happened to hear Cang Gu's words, so he spoke out...
Originally, Qing Leng kept silent about what happened that year, just because he didn't want to disturb the reputation of the deceased. However, this time Guan Liyuan went to the ghost world and brought back news about the woman, that is, she entered reincarnation shortly after she committed suicide and didn't linger in the ghost world at all... As for
where she was reincarnated, only the people in the Yama Palace could find out, and Qing Leng didn't want to investigate further.
Moreover... Once the reincarnation turns, the cause and effect disappear. Knowing that the deceased has long been completely gone, Qing Leng has no taboos.
At this time, when other people heard something like "stole a married woman", they couldn't help but feel awe in their hearts - they originally guessed that there was something strange about Qing Leng's betrayal of Shushan, and there might be injustice. Now they heard that Qing Leng was associated with such a stigma... If it were me, I would be so desperate to fight for it!
No wonder Qing Leng still couldn't let it go.
"Brother Qing Leng, what happened back then..."
Cang Gu wanted to explain to Qing Leng with a bitter face, but was interrupted by Qing Leng: "Be careful! I am no longer a disciple of Shushan, and the slightest bit of my cultivation is not inherited from Shushan! Oh, by the way, there is still a part of my cultivation that Shushan has not taken back, but it is not with me, you can ask 'that person' for it!" Qing Leng said sarcastically.
What he said later was naturally the matter of Shu Ming taking away his foundation...
Some half-immortals who were old enough, after hearing Qing Leng's words, vaguely recalled what happened in Shushan when Qing Leng was imprisoned, and probably had some guesses in their hearts.
But most people are more concerned about... Qing Leng's cultivation was abolished? Then how did he cultivate to the realm of True Immortal again when his foundation was completely destroyed?
For a moment, Qing Leng's image became even more awe-inspiring.
At the same time, after Qing Leng was excited, he slightly closed his eyes - as a True Immortal, he still needed to calm down in this way, which showed that he was indignant.
However, when Qing Leng opened his eyes, a brilliant light flashed, as if... his spiritual realm was further sublimated?
"If Junior Brother Guan knows the inside story, you might as well tell it, so that fellow Taoists will not let the real murderer go." Qing Leng finally said so.
In contrast, Qing Leng, who was able to distinguish right from wrong, looked even more majestic, while Cang Gu's face was flushed...
Hearing Qing Leng's words from the bottom of his heart, Guan Liyuan spoke...
For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on Guan Liyuan - in the previous fight, even half-immortal cultivators died, and the young disciples brought by each sect at this time must have been the younger generation that each sect had their own high hopes for, but more than a dozen of them died... Even
Shushan did not dare to take on such a big grudge. If the misunderstanding was not resolved, it would not be as simple as "damaging reputation"!
"You all should know that a year ago, I was entrusted by the head of Penglai Shang Fengzi to take many Penglai disciples and go all the way west to Shushan to help... cough cough, but there were some deviations in the end, and I did not enter the Shushan mountain gate in the end..." Guan Liyuan said with pretended embarrassment.
But Cang Gu was only more embarrassed than him, and it was really embarrassing.
Grandma Sun also chimed in at this time: "Oh, that's because fellow Taoist didn't come to my Bixia Island, otherwise I would definitely welcome you... Although Bixia Island has been overseas for a long time, they also know etiquette!" She glanced at Canggu.
"Thank you for your kindness, Grandma Sun, but what I want to say is not that Shushan will refuse me..."
Canggu grinned at the side - that's not it?
"It's about what happened in Penglai Sect! Maybe you will also wonder why Penglai disciples came out of the mountain, but only young disciples of the younger generation, and the elders and the head of the sect have never shown up. Maybe there are well-informed sects near the East China Sea who know that Penglai Sect has closed the mountain and cannot find any trace..." Guan Liyuan continued. "
Huh? Could it be that Penglai Sect has encountered some disaster? Headmaster Shang Fengzi is close to the state of unity between man and nature, how could it be..." A half-immortal was a little unbelievable at this time.
Guan Liyuan nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, Penglai Sect had encountered a great crisis before. Two great elders passed away, and the head of the sect Shang Fengzi was also seriously injured. It was not that they were unwilling to come out of the mountain... but that they could not! Even so, they still sent out young disciples from the sect..."
"What? Is this true? What kind of demon is so fierce?" Taoist Canyun asked in surprise.
"The person who attacked Penglai this time is not a trivial person. His background is special. He is not among the creatures of the six realms. Moreover, he can transform into the appearance of the head of Shushan Qingwei. He deceived the eyes and ears of the head of the sect Shang Fengzi for a time, which led to the tragedy!" Guan Liyuan was bragging for Penglai. "
Fellow Daoist Guan, are you saying... there are demons who can transform into the appearance of the head of Shushan Qingwei without being discovered by the head of the sect Shang Fengzi who is close to the realm of heaven and man, so... it is also possible to transform into the appearance of the Cang Gu Daoist?" Granny Sun also heard what Guan Liyuan meant at this time.
The Cang Gu "thief" finally barely upgraded to the Cang Gu "Taoist".
Although others had not confirmed Guan Liyuan's statement, they believed it to a certain extent. After all, Guan Liyuan had already had conflicts with Shushan. If he said so, it was probably true. It also showed Guan Liyuan's high moral character... He was indeed "spotless".
Guan Liyuan nodded when he heard it, but he hadn't finished his words yet!
The reason for explaining it clearly was that he didn't want the Taoist sect in the human world to have internal friction, not to absolve Shushan of guilt, so he still had to say what he should say...
