A light mist had risen on Cangming Peak at some point, and occasionally a few bluebirds would fly out, chirping clearly.
Li Changan frowned, and his mind slowly calmed down.
Just now, Tang Guang fired several depth charges in succession, which almost blew him unconscious.
First, Taixuan Zhenren was actually one of the immortals who came down from the fairyland a thousand years ago.
Second, Chen Bailou took the body of Taixuan Zhenren and planned some secret way to become an immortal.
Third, Taichi and the previous headmaster were probably killed by Chen Bailou because they knew about his plan.
But at the same time, Li Changan had several questions in his mind.
First, since Chen Bailou wanted to silence everyone, why did he only leave behind Tang Guang, who also knew part of the truth?
Secondly, what exactly is Chen Bailou's plan? Even if he has the remains of an immortal, how can he become an immortal?
Third, was one of the two immortals who followed Li Jiuzhong to the mortal world Taixuan Zhenren? If so, where was the other one?
Of course, the most important point is whether what Tang Guang said is true or false.
"So, I hope you can help me," Tang Guang said. "With the support of your Jiufeng, even if I lose to Chen Bailou in the Chengjian Conference, I am confident that I can force him to abdicate. When the time comes, I will investigate everything and make these hidden truths public."
Li Changan pursed his lips and stood up.
"Actually, I don't really care about what you said."
Tang Guang frowned slightly.
"Whether Chen Bailou stole the immortal's remains to become an immortal is not important. Whether he caused the previous generation's headmaster to fall or Tai Chi to become a demon is also not important. Even who the headmaster of Taixuan Sect is has little to do with me."
"What you said is just a suitable excuse for yourself, because no one can be sure that if Chen Bailou relies on the immortal's remains to become an immortal, he will really lead the Taixuan Sect into eternal damnation."
Li Changan's expression was a little strange, sighing, and somewhat resolute.
"I've been in this world for a hundred years. Although I haven't achieved anything through cultivation, I at least know how cruel true cultivation is. Survival of the fittest, those who succeed will succeed on their own. Even in the end, I won't be too concerned about whether Taixuan Sect still exists. All I care about is the Nine Peaks."
"As I said before, you can fight for your own interests. As long as it does not threaten the safety of my disciples at Jiufeng, I will not interfere."
"But if anyone uses the Nine Peaks disciples as gambling chips for their own selfish interests, I will not be polite either."
Tang Guang stood there, silent.
…
On the way down the mountain, Houyi clicked his tongue and felt a little emotional.
"Big Brother's last few words were very domineering."
Li Changan chuckled dryly, "It's all because of you guys. Hehe, if you three hadn't broken through to the Dao, I wouldn't even come to this shabby place, let alone say something harsh..."
Houyi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"So, between Chen Bailou and Tang Guang, who do you think is better? Or, in other words, who do you support?"
Li Changan thought for a moment, then turned and asked, "What about you? Who do you support more?"
He remembered that Chen Bailou and Houyi had many secret plots. Of course, the plots were all about the attitude towards Canglan and the fate of the great demon in the Demon Garden, Li.
Although this does not mean anything, it at least shows that Houyi and Chen Bailou have a certain friendship, and it is possible that Houyi is more optimistic about Chen Bailou.
Hou Yi smiled and said, "Big Brother's attitude is my attitude."
"That's right." Li Changan felt relieved immediately.
"No matter if it's a lie, Taixuan Sect is Master's old nest. He couldn't ascend to heaven in less than a hundred years, and even his grave was dug up."
"As for the attitude, haha, Tang Guang is worth a silver coin. Who knows how many of the words he just said are true? It is naturally not okay to turn around and deal with Chen Bailou based on one-sided words alone."
"The best way is to investigate the secrets of the past. Perhaps we can solve these mysteries."
As long as we know what happened back then, including the affairs of Taixuan Zhenren, Taichi, and even the previous generation of the headmaster, then the truth about what kind of person Chen Bailou is will be revealed.
"What's your idea, senior brother?" Houyi asked.
"Yes, but I don't know if it will be useful." Li Changan remembered something he had given to Shui Hanfeng Yuheng before, and felt a little expectant.
"Wait a minute, who knows, there will be a chance."
…
When I returned to Jiufeng, I saw Nezha squatting under the locust tree, supporting his chin with his hands, staring at the treetops with eager eyes.
Li Changan was curious and walked over to ask, "What are you doing?"
Nezha glanced back at Li Changan, looking a little listless.
"Big Brother, this Linghuai tree is a famous Taoist tree in Beizhou. Logically, it should bear Taoist fruit..." Nezha smacked his lips. "Big Brother, when do you think this thing will bear fruit? How many fruits can it bear? What do the fruits taste like? Are they delicious?"
Li Changan's face turned dark.
What the hell is this thing? Why does it keep eating and drinking...
"There must be a reason why you became an orphan..." Li Changan sighed.
Nezha turned around and asked, "Big Brother, what did you say?"
Li Changan waved his hand, "It's nothing. The Linghuai tree is a Taoist tree, but it neither blooms nor bears fruit."
"Ah? What does it look like?" Nezha was unhappy.
"Hehe, you don't know this, right? The Dao rhyme condensed in the Spiritual Sophora Tree is not in the fruit, but in its branches. If we talk about the treasure of the Spiritual Sophora Tree, it is these thousands of Spiritual Sophora branches."
Sophora japonica branch?
Nezha opened his eyes wide, looking at the branches swaying in the wind, and his eyes slowly brightened.
"Um... Senior Brother, can this locust tree branch be eaten?"
Li Changan smiled and said, "Of course."
"Hehe, that's great!" Nezha shouted in surprise, jumped up and rushed straight to the locust tree, waving his fire spear and cutting off several branches as thick as his wrists.
"Goodbye, Big Brother!"
After saying that, he ran towards the back mountain.
Li Changan bared his teeth and laughed out loud.
Just as he lay down on the rattan chair, he saw Xiao Qiyue rushing towards him and snuggling into his arms.
"What are you doing? Damn it, be gentle. I'm covered in wounds, please don't cripple me."
Qiyue had a face full of resentment, and she held onto Li Changan's arm tightly, "You are such a heartless fool. You ignored me when your junior brothers and sisters came. Humph, you haven't visited Qiyue for half a month."
Eh?
Li Changan's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Go back and read more books. If you don't have culture, just talk less." Li Changan tried hard to push July away, but this girl was like a dog-skin plaster and couldn't be pushed away no matter how hard he pushed.
"I don't care. You have to accompany me today. That vixen Li Mingyue is finally away. Can't you be gentler to me? I'm very delicate..." As she said that, she hugged Li Changan's arm and rubbed it hard on her chest.
Li Changan looked at July's hungry expression and felt a pang of pain in his balls.
"Your damn gentleness makes my heart ache and tears flow..."
