The handsome Buddha had crooked eyes and a gentle smile.
"Tell me, has my junior brother changed?"
Yun Ranran was a little dazed, then looked at Wuwei not far away, and Wuxuan who was close at hand, and said honestly: "I don't know."
"Looking at the incident itself, there is no crime, but those clues are confusing, so I can't tell."
Wuxuan's eyes darkened slightly, and his smile became lighter, he said: "Young lady is right..."
Before the words finished, the little girl said: "However, I will definitely find out the truth. Isn't all of this just guesswork? Don't panic, I'll go and find out later."
He was startled, and looked into her eyes: "Why waste this time, you can never be wrong if you vote the same as them."
The little girl shook her head: "That won't work, I'm not such a casual person."
He laughed inexplicably.
Yun Ranran asked: "I'm going to visit Qian Ning's house, do you want to go together?"
Wuxuan nodded in agreement, and the two went to Qian Ning's house together.
Soon, the two arrived in front of Qian Ning's Zhumen, and the gate was closed tightly.
Yun Ranran glanced at Wuxuan beside her, thinking about how to tactfully tell him about climbing over the wall, Wuxuan had already done a trick with one hand, and then a gust of wind blew her eyes away, and when she opened it again, her eyes blurred. He has entered the inner courtyard of Channing's house.
This came in easily.
At a glance, she saw Qian Ning walking up and down in the study room, and a rather old housekeeper came in after a while.
As soon as the old housekeeper came in, Qian Ning rushed up and asked, "What do you think should be done?"
The old housekeeper asked, "What do you want, miss?"
Chan Ning said, "I don't know."
"However, Wuwei did get rid of my inner demons for me, and it can be regarded as saving me in the Yongning Mountains. I should speak for him in terms of emotion and reason."
The old housekeeper sighed: "But after yesterday and this morning's fermentation, you have already been tied to Wuwei. If you say this, it is confirmed that you have a deal."
"There is currently no real evidence for Wuwei's matter. Anyone who speaks for him will become the target of the spearhead. Everyone will speculate about Wuwei's actions from this person's character and actions."
"No one is perfect. Our Qian family has lived in this place for so long, but we can't bear to dig deep. There are always some secret enemies. If they disturb the water, our Qian family may also experience catastrophe."
Qian Ning hesitated and said, "What about Wuwei? He didn't kill Qin Zhi and Zhu Zheng on purpose just because he wanted to get rid of my demons, did he just let everyone wrong him?"
The old housekeeper said: "If he didn't do it, they can't find any evidence. They can't just convict him by guessing."
Qian Ning wanted to say more, but the old housekeeper said in a low voice: "You may not know that a female cultivator who fell into the valley and died this time was actually the secret furnace of the city lord. The city lord's cultivation has improved rapidly recently, all thanks to this Right now, I'm losing my temper because of the nun's death."
Qian Ning was taken aback.
The old housekeeper sighed: "So don't worry about it, just keep yourself safe."
Yun Ranran listened to Qingming outside the study. She has lived in the City Lord's Mansion for the past two days, and indeed saw the City Lord busy with Wuwei's affairs, but she did not expect this inside story.
From the information obtained from Qian Ning, it can be confirmed that Wu Wei has nothing to do with Qian Ning, so the deaths of Qin Zhi and Zhu Zheng were not caused by Wu Wei deliberately.
Yun Ranran turned to look at Wuxuan: "Go to Lin Wang's house again, his son competed with Xiao Chuan for the Xiaoyao sect, and now that Xiao Chuan is dead, he has benefited a lot."
Wuxuan nodded, and the two left the gate of Qian's house and went to Lin Wang's house.
The atmosphere in Lin Wang's house is relaxed, and he even has leisure time to play chess with the casual cultivators in the house.
The two sat in the courtyard covered with fallen leaves, playing chess comfortably.
The casual cultivator on the opposite side said, "What do you think about Wuwei?"
Lin Wang took a breath and said, "What does it have to do with me?"
Sanxiu said: "Didn't you invite Wuwei? Now the outside world is rumored that you have a deal with him and intentionally killed Xiao Chuan..."
Lin Wang looked around and lowered his voice: "Let me tell you the truth, this is indeed the case."
That Sanxiu was startled, and said, "You really made a deal with Wuwei? Wuwei really killed Xiao Chuan on purpose?"
Lin Wangdao: "I knew before that Wuwei has the magical ability to spy on the future for a short time, so I specially invited him to lead the team into the Yongning Mountains, and I also specially invited Xiao Chuan to go with me."
"Before I left, I made a deal with him. I wanted him to pretend to kill Xiao Chuan inadvertently when he led the team, so that my son's chances of winning the Xiaoyao Sect would be higher."
"But he rejected me, but I didn't give enough, so I increased my bargaining chip and promised him the treasure of my ancestor."
Sanxiu asked: "He wants it?"
Lin Wang said: "No, but before leaving, I quietly threw it into his storage bag in the name of giving away the pill materials."
"Xiao Chuan is also dead right now. He's probably tempted, but he's too stupid. Why do he do this by himself? Just find someone, just give a hint, and rush forward by himself. After so many people died, he must not end well."
Sanxiu asked, "Why? Didn't he save most of the people?"
Lin Wang sneered: "What's the use of saving most people?"
"It's true that only fifteen died, but do you know what the origins of these fifteen are? How do you know that you won't offend someone you can't fight against?"
Sanxiu said: "But there are thirty-five people he saved, won't they speak up for him?"
Lin Wangdao: "I don't know about others, but Qian Ning definitely dare not say it. The more status you have, the more prudent and safe you are, and the more bachelor you are, the bolder you are. But there are few people who believe it. Not to mention that there are so many doubts."
Sanxiu asked: "Then what do you think? Is he guilty?"
Lin Wangdao: "Of course he's guilty, he must have done it on purpose. It's impossible for anyone to resist the temptation of my ancestor's treasure."
Sanxiu said: "According to you, Wuwei can see two roads clearly, who will live and who will die?"
Lin Wangdao: "Of course, otherwise, how could he pick Xiao Chuan and Yu Lei accurately? And those two who have a grudge against Qian Ning."
He paused and asked, "Aren't people like Wuwei scary?"
San Xiu was taken aback.
Lin Wang said: "If he is innocent, wouldn't he be able to decide the life and death of others at will?"
"It's possible to go into the forest, it's possible to walk up the long bridge if he doesn't suggest it."
"It might be fifteen people, or it might be thirty-five people, but just because he can see the future clearly, he chose thirty-five people to live."
"Are these thirty-five people really more qualified to live than the other fifteen?"
"Then why did the fifteen people die?"
"If you ask any of the fifteen people now, they will answer that they are willing to go to the forest, right?"
"What if you were one of the fifteen? What would you choose? The forest or the long bridge?"
Sanxiu was speechless.
Lin Wang looked at him with a smile: "If you were one of those fifteen people, would you think he was innocent?"
Yun Ranran was also speechless.
Wuxuan stood quietly in the courtyard, with wind and snow hidden in his dark eyes, he covered his expression after a while, and asked softly, "Where shall we go next?"
Yun Ranran was stunned for a long time, and when she didn't know what to say, Wuxuan took her out of the Lin residence.
As soon as he came out, he saw Qin Zhi's husband and Zhu Zheng's father. They were standing together with several people, talking about something solemnly. When they got closer, they heard the debate about inaction.
Most of these people were relatives of the deceased in the crash. Originally, they were only immersed in grief. After a day or two of events and the increase of various clues, they began to become radical.
The onlookers around also discovered their views.
At this time, a twenty-year-old girl stepped forward and said, "Anyway, doing nothing saved my life. I don't think he did it on purpose."
Immediately someone retorted: "Why do you say that? You are lucky enough to survive, so shouldn't the relatives of the deceased be questioned? Since you got the advantage, you should stay well and come here to say such things, not to let others Are you more sad?"
The girl felt a little helpless, and said, "I'm just discussing the facts."
The man replied: "Don't they just discuss the matter? Aren't these doubts doubts? Did someone say something nonsense?"
The girl said: "But you say that inaction is done deliberately, so he has to see who lives and who dies, right? He can't see clearly at all."
The man sneered and said, "Isn't he the one who said he can see clearly? As for whether he can see clearly or not, who can prove it?"
The girl wanted to say more, so someone said: "You are not a good person, I was quite scared when I saw you before entering the mountain, I asked Wuwei, you two stayed in the same yard for so long, who knows what you are doing. "
Another person said: "Oh, no wonder you speak for Wuwei so much, so there are such things."
The girl's eyes were red with anger, and she said immediately: "Don't talk nonsense, we are innocent."
The man said disdainfully: "So many people died, how did you survive so well? And you said it's okay, huh."
Yun Ranran stood by the street, suddenly not knowing what to do.
In the past two days, she had listened too much, and sometimes she was so dazed that she couldn't even remember what happened at the beginning, and she gradually fell into confusion about what kind of person Wuwei was.
She warned herself that these were all speculations, and there was no real evidence.
After that, she didn't gain any more, and when she looked at the torch under Wuwei's feet, there was more.
·
Early in the morning of the third day, as soon as she woke up, she heard the commotion outside. When she went out to have a look, she found that everyone was running towards the Cross Square.
What happened?
She didn't have time to think about it, and rushed to the Cross Square with the crowd. As soon as she got close, she saw several people standing in the center of the square, all surrounded by Wuwei.
A man in a fine attire stood in the center with a majestic expression. He was probably the lord of the city, Cheng Yun. Beside him stood a monk in a gray-blue gown with a fairy-like demeanor.
Cheng Yun waved to the crowd, suppressed the noise, and said: "You have been concerned about Wuwei's affairs recently, especially whether he can see the scene clearly when he is spying on the secrets of heaven."
"This incident also involved Wuwei's true thoughts at the time."
"Coincidentally, Tang You Xianzun of Xiaoyao Sect came to my Yongning City to accept disciples on behalf of Xiaoyao Sect, so I dared to invite Xianzun."
As soon as these words came out, there was an exclamation from below.
Cheng Yun went on to say: "Everyone knows that Tang You Xianzun has superb soul-hunting skills, and no one can lie under his nose."
"Yes, I will ask Tang You Xianzun to take Wuwei's soul and ask him about what happened that day."
Everyone cheered, now that all kinds of rumors are raging, the entanglement is all about whether Wuwei can see clearly, if someone can ask accurately, it will be great.
When Yun Ranran heard this, she was also a little surprised. She had heard of Tang You, and he was indeed good at spying on people's hearts, and he used his cultivation to perform soul-hunting on Wuwei. Wuwei must not be able to lie.
In the surprised and expectant eyes of everyone, Tang You walked up to Wuwei, and said loudly: "Next, I will perform soul-stirring for Wuwei. It's just soul-stirring, and there will never be any manipulation."
"If you don't believe me, I can swear on my heart demon."
After he finished speaking, he really made an oath.
He is so dignified and dignified that he is so condescending. Not only is he willing to perform the soul-hunting technique for Wuwei, but he also swears with the demon for the sake of fairness, which has won the favor of many people.
Yun Ranran looked seriously at the field, and Wuxuan stood beside her at some point, and looked at Wuwei's position quietly with her.
Seeing that there were no objections from the audience, Tang You asked Wuwei: "Do you really not remember what happened at that time?"
Wuwei nodded.
Tang You said: "Then I will perform the soul-hunting technique for you, are you willing?"
Wuwei looked at him and nodded again.
Tang You put his palm on top of Wuwei's head, followed by wisps of spiritual power turning into white mist and slowly entering through Wuwei's seven orifices.
As the white mist increased, Wuwei gradually showed a painful expression, Tang You continued, with more and more white mist, Wuwei's expression became more and more painful.
Just when Wuwei could no longer absorb more white mist, Tang You stopped.
Wuwei closed his eyes, wisps of white mist slowly overflowed from the seven orifices, and his expression gradually became gentle and stable.
Tang You asked, "Who are you?"
Wuwei: "Wuwei, Buddhist practice in Bodhi Temple."
"yes."
"I finally encountered a big demon crisis, but you suggest that everyone take the long bridge?"
"yes."
"Okay, one last question."
Tang You looked at him and asked, "When you were spying on the secrets of heaven, can you see the surviving figure clearly?"
Everyone looked at Wuwei nervously, and Yun Ranran also pricked up his ears seriously.
Wuwei was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I can see clearly."
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.
Even Yun Ranran was speechless.
can see...
Seeing that line makes everything go wrong...
All speculations have found an outlet...
After Tang You finished all this, he lifted his obsession with Wuwei, and the little monk came to his senses again. He looked blankly at the densely packed people below, and finally showed a somewhat terrified expression.
The thick incense in front of Wuwei was about to burn out, and it was time to vote.
Now the torches under Wuwei's feet were basically full, and there were only three or two in the barrel, and many people ran over and threw the torches in their hands under Wuwei's feet.
The onlookers laughed and laughed. Several monks investigated the incident, and one of them said, "I'll just say I'm guilty. Let's vote now."
Those people stepped forward and threw the torches at Wuwei's feet.
The monks from Wanfamen walked over slowly. As soon as they appeared, they attracted the attention of many monks, and they all watched their every move in the dark.
Seeing that the tall man in the lead gave a few words to the monk named Xu Yang, Xu Yang ran to Wuwei's side with five torches in his arms, and threw them away, and all the torches fell at Wuwei's feet.
The cultivators hiding in the dark saw Xu Yang drop the torch, and immediately stopped hiding, like hyenas who smelled the smell, and quickly followed to throw the torch together.
Yun Ranran grabbed one and asked, "Have you investigated it and you will vote?"
The man pushed her away impatiently, "What's there to investigate? Isn't it just to get rewards when you enter the secret realm? Those few people have come here as soon as they saw it. They have experience. What's wrong with enjoying the blessing? Just mind your own business."
Yun Ranran sighed helplessly.
Wuxuan said, "Young lady won't vote?"
Yun Ranran looked carefully at the remaining monks: "Be cautious at the end, I'll see how others vote."
Wu Xuan lowered his eyes and remained silent.
After the people voted, they talked excitedly with their companions one by one. The relatives of the deceased showed resentment, while the survivors hid in the crowd in pity.
The new monks laughed and threw torches at Wuwei's feet, not caring about his past and truth at all.
As night fell, the incense was finally burning to the end.
Wuxuan turned his gaze to the middle of the square, feeling a little dazed and inaction.
The torches piled up in front of him and buried his calf.
Leaving aside those monks who entered later, just by looking at the torches cast by the common people, one already knows the end of Wuwei.
He couldn't help thinking, what kind of expression did Wuwei have when those torches were lit?
Will he regret it?
At this moment, he saw a faint light shining on Wuwei's chest, so he stepped forward, leaned over to look at it, reached out his hand to touch it, and something suddenly broke into his mind.
·
【Ten years ago · Yongning City】
My name is Wuwei, and I am a Buddhist practitioner at Bodhi Temple.
When I went down the mountain, Master asked me, what do you want to do when you go down the mountain? I answered without hesitation, saving sentient beings.
Master sighed again and again, saying that he would suffer.
I don't care, is there anything in this world that doesn't suffer?
Master touched my head with a sad expression on his face, but you, who have supernatural powers but are so soft-hearted, have to suffer more than others, I am reluctant.
I didn't understand Master's meaning at that time, I just thought it was a sad parting and promised to bring him a lot of gadgets, so I packed my bags proudly.
Later I went to many places and met many people until I arrived at Yongning City.
Ms. Qian was disturbed by her inner demons, she begged hard, but I finally couldn't bear it, and after getting rid of her inner demons, I begged for a treasure from her. I knew she owed those three loose cultivators, and the treasure she begged for was It is intended to transfer to Qin Zhi and his wife and Zhu Zheng, hoping to make up for one or two.
Lin Wang was organizing casual practitioners to search for supplies in the mountains. He was overjoyed to see me and hoped that I could lead the team there.
I had nothing to do, and I happened to be able to see Qin Zhi and Zhu Zheng, so I agreed. As for the dirty words he said about killing people, I naturally pretended that I didn't hear them. Later, when I saw that Xiao Chuan was also in the team, I asked him something. Two, tell him to be careful.
After that, we entered the mountain, and the journey was smooth.
I can't use "divination arithmetic" very often. This supernatural power consumes life energy, and it is extremely short-lived. After using it, I will still have short-term memory confusion. Once in seven days is the limit.
But what I didn't expect was that someone strayed into the lair of the big monster wolf, and woke up the wolf in a panic, and the wolf summoned his companions to chase and kill him.
The big demon wolf was already ferocious, but he gathered a pack of wolves. For a while, the mountains and plains were covered with green eyes, and the low roar that overflowed from his throat was frightening.
We were soon cornered.
Someone who ran slower was bitten off half of his leg by the wolf. He called for help dripping with blood, but before I reached out my hand, the wolf had already bit off his entire lower body.
I saw him crawling forward desperately with only half of his body, his eyes overflowing with despair.
I ran towards him quickly, but when I was about to get close, I saw the gray wolf appearing behind him and bit off his throat.
The blood fell drop by drop on the ground, paved in a desperate appearance.
The monks were all terrified, and some of them couldn't even walk. I hurried over, pulled them up, and told everyone to move forward quickly.
I stopped, tore off the bodhi bead, and injected spiritual power into the bodhi bead.
The wolves all over the mountains and plains stared at me with green eyes, and the Bodhi Bead gradually emitted golden Buddha light. I dropped the Bodhi Bead on the spot and quickly engraved a small attack formation. Go to the monks.
I saw them soon, and all of them stayed together in pain, some were crying and some were shaking, but none of them moved forward.
I saw only two paths ahead, one was the long bridge and the other was re-entering the forest.
I asked why I didn't move forward.
Qin Zhihong told me with eyes that both roads are very dangerous. Just now they wanted to cross the long bridge directly. As soon as the first person went up, a long tongue stuck out from under the bridge inexplicably, and swiped the road without anyone seeing clearly. The people were swept away, so everyone retreated and prepared to enter the forest, but just after entering the forest, several people died for no reason. Presumably, there were also spirit monsters hidden in the forest that were difficult to deal with.
Since there are risks in both paths, no one dares to make a choice, and they are all silently waiting for me to come.
Qian Ning asked me with a pale face, don't you know divination? Do the math, which road is safe?
I know that Bodhi Pearl won't last long, and the wolves will soon come after them. If you don't make a quick decision, everyone here will die.
So I started to do the math.
I saw that most of the monks in the forest would die, and the long bridge also suffered heavy casualties, but it was much better than the forest, so I told them the truth.
For a moment they hesitated.
Someone asked me tremblingly, little master, on which side will I die? Forest or long bridge?
I can't answer, because I can only see a vague outline, and can't see the specific candidate for death. I told the truth, and he was pale and silent.
I told them that if they go separately, both sides will be wiped out, and everyone must go on the same side to have a chance of survival.
Just when everyone was hesitating and hesitating, roars and roars suddenly came from behind.
Everyone was scared out of their wits, got up quickly, and asked me to choose a path, saying that they all listen to me, as long as I choose, they will go together.
When I was about to choose the long bridge, a young man's laughter suddenly sounded in my ears.
I looked back and saw the mocking eyes of the big demon wolf.
It chased behind with the wolves, but did not attack immediately.
[Little monk, you are still too young, don't choose, if you choose, you will surely die. 】
【Since I know the right path, why don't I choose it. 】
【You don't understand people's hearts. Now that you live and die, I leave everything to you. When you are safe, you will settle accounts later. 】
【That's for the future. 】
【I will give you the third way. I will kill them all and let you go. If you leave here, you will not have to be in a dilemma. 】
[I have never been in a dilemma. 】
【Little monk, you always have to pay the price for your stupid kindness. Don’t you know that God also warns you not to meddle in the life and death of others? 】
[I would like to bet against the gods with my life. 】
[Stubborn. 】
【not regret. 】
The wolf looked at me mockingly, and finally jumped towards me suddenly. I told everyone to cross the long bridge quickly.
The crowd rushed to the long bridge in a panic, fleeing frantically.
When the last person got on the bridge safely, I blocked the bridge entrance. After I beat back the wolves with my palm, the wolves rushed towards me like a tide.
Sharp claws, biting, **** smell, the blood left along the eyes, I gradually couldn't see clearly, I could only smell the strong smell of the wolf demon.
I thought I was going to die at this time.
Unexpectedly, I found a gap and squeezed onto the long bridge in the end. I ran to the other side of the bridge with all my strength.
When I was about to arrive, I looked back and saw the mocking eyes of the wolf.
Everyone was lying on the ground, exhausted physically and mentally. I counted roughly and found that more than a dozen people had died. Although I knew it a long time ago, I was still sad at this moment.
I helped them out of the mountains and returned to Yongning City. At first, everyone was very grateful to me, but gradually, some unexpected situations appeared.
Later, I was handcuffed to a pillar for trial.
Looking at more and more torches under my feet, I always think of the mocking eyes of the wolf demon.
A few days later, Tang You came, he reminded me of that time, and then asked me a question.
[When you were spying on the secrets of heaven, can you see clearly...the surviving figure? 】
Tang You said those two words in a very low voice, and I didn't even hear them clearly, so he repeated them in a low voice, and I finally understood what he meant.
[When you are spying on the secrets of the sky, can you see your surviving figure clearly? 】
Divination is a technique that is connected with the blood of the performer, so when performing the technique, others will see it blurred, but you can clearly see it.
Of course I could see my surviving figure clearly.
When I was spying on the secret, I clearly saw myself walking out of the forest road, and the long bridge road...
I will die in an endless fire.
How could I not know, I can see clearly.
But so what? I promised to bring these people out of the mountains, and I will keep my promise.
How come I don't understand what the wolf said.
But I couldn't bear it after all.
I am willing to bet my life against the gods.
If the bet is lost.
I don't regret it either.
