"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 [已] and the word [高].”

"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 "已" and "高" are both written correctly and there is no problem with them.

In the new letter written by Yu Tianji, the characters "已" and "高" were written incorrectly. There was an extra dot under the character "已", 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 eight typos... 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 "已" (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 once again shocked 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 [已] 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 [老事已高] 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 didn'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 [已] 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."

“老朽修習書法多年，現在經穆仙師一提，倒是能看出個七八分。”一位老者嘆道：“舊信上，那【高】字上頭的一點，明顯不屬于【高】字，不是一氣寫成的，因為只是一點，所以剛才辨認筆跡時疏漏了，現在再看，竟是分外格格不入，那一點，倒是和新信上【已】字下面的一點一模一樣。”

“是啊，再加上墨色濃淡的對比，說這舊信是裁剪拼湊而成，确實說得通。”又有老者附和道。

衆人的議論越來越偏向于李越白一方，實在是因為那兩個錯字太明顯了。

更是有各大仙門的仙主，将玉天玑寫給自己的邀請信拿了出來，細細觀看對比。

果然，那些邀請信上，也是處處錯字，甚至還有加了點的【已】和缺了點的【高】。

玉天琉臉色漸漸難看起來。

他咳嗽一聲，沉聲道：“我不管這封舊信是不是裁剪拼湊而成，總之，我是從那魔教賊人手中繳獲而來的，即使是裁剪拼湊，也大有可能是玉天玑自己裁剪拼湊的。”

“兄長這話可奇怪了，本仙主雖然不才，雖然錯字遍地，至少還是會自己寫信的，當然不是寫給魔教。”玉天玑一臉委屈：“本仙主為何要費力不讨好，做這拼湊之事？難道本仙主開了天眼，能預測到今日會被兄長指責，所以預先拼湊？”

“花言巧語！”玉天琉冷哼道：“或許就是你想寫信給魔教，又要用自己的字跡來展現誠意，又防着外人發現，就使出了拼湊一招，這樣，便可以污蔑那些發現此信的人。”

“了不得了，偷偷拼湊了本仙主的信，還要繼續污蔑本仙主，本仙主不依。”玉天玑大概早就沒皮沒臉了，開始怪腔怪調做起了鬼臉。

“關于字跡，鄙人言盡于此。”李越白見衆人已經讨論得差不多了，便結束了對字跡的申辯：“接下來，就是信紙的問題了。”

“信紙能有什麽問題？”葛槐還在為了字跡的事情咬牙切齒，卻沒想到李越白已經奔向了下一個話題：“那封舊信，是諸位仙長用法術從灰燼中複原的，能有什麽問題？”

“如果諸位已經看完了字跡，那就把維持複原的法術收了吧。”李越白道：“也該再來看看那堆灰燼是什麽樣子了。”

很快，那飄在空中的兩張信紙就被放了下來，舊信被擺在祭壇上，法術收回，衆人眼睜睜地看着信紙重新變回了一堆黑灰。

“不知天琉君抓獲的那個魔教賊人是否還在？”李越白道：“昨日，他當着各位仙長的面，清清楚楚地說了自己是從哪裏得到這捧黑灰的，現在，可否請他再講一遍？”

“自然可以。”玉天琉冷笑一聲，派人重新把障篾帶了出來。

障篾仍是昨天那副樣子，人不人鬼不鬼，手腳都被鎖鏈鎖着，相貌可怖，神态瑟縮，一上來就連聲求饒道：“各位仙長，小的都把實話說清楚了，可否法外開恩，放小的一馬？”

玉天琉手下的衛士立刻狠狠踢了他一腳，怒斥道：“昨天你說的話，現在再說一遍！”

“啊？再說一遍？”障篾苦着臉道：“再說一百遍，也還是那些話啊！”

“有人不信，你當然要說到別人信了為止。”葛槐冷笑道。

“是，是，小的這就說，這就說。”障篾苦着臉道：“小人名叫障篾，是魔教左護法的手下……”

“不必從這麽早開始。”玉天琉輕咳一聲：“只說你是何時發現那封信的。”

“慢着。”李越白突然道：“鄙人懷疑，天琉君與這魔教賊人有所勾結，會在旁邊句句提點，告訴此賊人該如何說話，該如何污蔑天玑君。”

“無稽之談，血口噴人。”玉天琉怒道，一派正氣凜然。

“假如天琉君真的沒有和賊人勾結，還請回避，這樣，賊人才能被問出真正的供詞。”李越白堅持道。

“笑話，天琉君若是回避了，豈不是聽不到這賊人說了什麽？有何公平可言？”葛槐力争。

“那這樣如何？”李越白退了一步：“可否請諸位仙長，在天琉君一方，和這魔教賊人之間，凝起一道屏障出來？我聽說有一種單向屏障，讓天琉君的話語不能被賊人聽到，而賊人的話語，卻能被天琉君聽到。”

“穆仙師這是公然懷疑在下了？”玉天琉冷冷地挑了挑眉。

“只是避嫌而已，若是天琉君不敢，那才是真的可疑。”李越白道：“那鄙人只能認定，天琉君與這賊人是一夥的，要時時刻刻，句句提點！”

衆人也早已對玉天琉有了疑心，玉天琉權衡過後，也只得接受了這個條件。

一道泛着藍光屏障被法術凝結了出來，單向隔絕聲音的屏障，十分有效。審訊也繼續了下去。

障篾得到同意，便繼續訴說起來。

“那日小的在煉丹房伺候着，左護法和貼身手下們也正在煉丹房商議要務，小的在一旁親耳聽到左護法說，收到了天玑君的親筆書信，上面寫的是合作事宜……天玑君說，自己想繼承昆侖的仙主之位，只可惜父親身體康健，兄長頗有勢力，若不出意外，是繼位無望的。天玑君還說，他知道左護法和右護法不合，因此建議左護法促成這場大戰，讓右護法帶人前去攻打昆侖。”障篾說得十分流暢，連字詞都沒有改，

“這話，倒是和昨天的一模一樣，連字句都沒有修改。”李越白道：“不像是從記憶裏搜尋出來的，倒像是背誦出來的！”

他這話說得聲音不大，卻吓得障篾打了個寒顫。

“……這……這位仙長可是不相信小的？”障篾兩只眼睛驚恐地轉了轉，看了看玉天琉，又吓得縮了回去。

“無妨，繼續說就是。”李越白笑了笑。

“左護法還拿出了天玑君寫給他的信，小的在一旁看得清清楚楚，看完信，和手下商議完畢後，左護法就将信擲入煉丹爐中，頃刻間燒成灰燼。小的在左護法及其手下走後，又把灰燼偷了出來。”

“那煉丹爐，可是你們魔教的煉丹爐？”李越白道。

“是，是。”障篾連聲應答。

“這就對了，想必在魔教的煉丹房裏，也不會有名門正派的煉丹爐，若你說有，我倒要懷疑你到底是不是魔教中人了。”

“沒有，自然是沒有的，我們魔教的煉丹房裏當然只有魔教的煉丹爐！”障篾連聲應答，急于證明自己是真的魔教中人。

“那你告訴我，為何魔教的煉丹爐，能燒出黑色的灰？”李越白盯緊了障篾：“魔教的煉丹爐，用的是歪門邪道的九味真火，和名門正派的三味真火不同，九味真火燒灼紙片，燒出來的灰燼，只能是灰白色，如何會出來黑色灰燼？”

“這……這……”

“是啊！本仙主雖然不才，卻也聽說魔教煉丹之術是不同的。”玉天玑嘆道：“本仙主幼時頑皮，也曾經将書卷投入自家煉丹爐中，結果燒成黑色灰燼，當時便有仙師順勢教導本仙主，說若是魔教的九味真火，燒出來便是灰白色，不是黑色。”

“難道說，你根本不是魔教中人，只是個冒充的？”李越白聲音不高，說的話卻是步步緊逼：“這封信，恐怕根本不是在魔教的煉丹爐中燒出來的吧？”

“這……冤枉啊，小的真的是魔教中人啊！”障篾連聲喊冤。

“那，何以解釋魔教的煉丹爐卻燒出了黑色的灰燼？”李越白冷笑道：“除非，是因為你們魔教剛剛踏平了化籠仙山，将化籠仙山的煉丹爐搬進了你們魔教的煉丹室！否則，再也沒有其他解釋。”

“……”障篾驚恐地往四周望了望，發現自己處于孤立無援的境地，無法找人幫忙，眼珠子一陣亂轉之後，終于惡狠狠地咬了咬牙，一口應道：“是！正如仙長所說！我們那陣子，正好繳獲了化籠仙山的煉丹爐，擺進了我們的煉丹房裏，是小的之前記錯了！左護法順手就是把書信投進了化籠仙山的煉丹爐中，所以燒出了黑色灰燼！”

“可是那化籠仙山的煉丹爐，裏面燒的是三味真火，對于魔教教徒而言，殺傷力極大，你從中取出這把灰燼，想必已經燒傷了雙手吧？”李越白問。

“是，是啊，不過小的已經傷愈，不妨事，不妨事。”障篾連連連頭。

“這次，你可以真的記清楚了，不會再改了？”李越白一字一頓地問道。

“小的說的句句是實，絕不敢欺瞞啊！”

“諸位也都聽清楚了？”李越白笑着擡起頭，問各大仙門。

各大仙門沉默地點了點頭。

“鄙人不必再說什麽，諸位也應該知道，這魔教賊人，口中沒有一句真話。”李越白道：“他昨日污蔑仙主，也全是謊言。”

"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."
