In the past, it was said that Mingjing True Man had secluded himself, and was attending to Sun Zhuo's health.
It seems that the elders of the Four Rules Mountain couldn't wait for me to ascend the mountain before notifying Mingjing True Man.
Sun Zhuo stood here, "welcoming" me, it is certain that Mingjing True Man has also emerged from seclusion!
A large amount of gazes are focused on me.
I maintain a composed expression, keeping my calm.
The group of red Xianyi monks, all with considerable age, with the youngest among them having no difference to Han Sha Zi.
Their gazes upon me were filled with joy.
Among Sun Zhuo's group of monks, most displayed curiosity and eagerness, as if they were eager to try. As for Sun Zhuo's gaze, it was extremely deep, without any signs of evil or hatred.
He is not up to his usual standards anymore.
In the past, when he was under Jinyang's supervision at the sect, as a candidate, he was truly full of vigor and grace, a figure surrounded by admiration.
At this moment, he is just standing in front, with a higher status and position, but it doesn't seem like the people at Changfeng Daoist Temple treat him in such a manner.
This has to do with his strength at the time and the status of Changfeng Daoist Temple.
Status is one factor, appearance is another. He only has hair on half of his head, hanging behind him, while the other half is bald, and even some unsightly scars can be seen.
Even though Sun Zhuo's face doesn't have many wounds, such a head is enough to be considered ugly.
The line of red robed monks approached me.
Stopping behind me, they seemed even more piercing with their gazes.
Xiang Kai retreated respectfully, standing beside Sun Zhuo's young disciples.
I roughly counted, there were thirteen red-robed monks in total.
"Luoxian Shen."
One of the red-robed monks opened his mouth. He had a character face, two white mustaches, a short beard, and even his chin was white. His eyebrows were also white.
"Greeting, brothers." I bowed respectfully.
The red-robed monk burst into a hearty laugh, and the others also nodded.
The laughter subsided, and the red-robed monk deeply looked at me. "At the age of twenty, you have mastered the Breaking Jail Incantation and dealt with that little heretic by yourself, very good, very good! I didn't expect Master to leave a small disciple outside to wander around. This small disciple is so powerful, injecting a strong blood into our Four Rules Mountain."
"I am your eldest brother, He You Tian, whose Dao name is Bai Mei. I hold the position of Grand Master."
"These are all your brothers. As for their names and Dao names, you will know them later."
"Young Master, where did you take refuge under Master, and where did you study Daoism?"
He You Tian stroked his short beard and asked me.
"Jin Yang took refuge, Jin Yang practiced Daoism," I replied.
"Jin Yang? Hmm..."
He You Tian's gaze fell on Sun Zhuo, smiled and said: "Sun Zhuo, you are the person of Jin Yang. Have been in Changfeng Daoist Temple for several years. It seems that this Jin Yang has a deep connection with our Four Rules Mountain."
Sun Zhuo didn't speak, forcing a smile.
"Indeed, it is a deep connection, isn't it, Sun Zhuo?" I looked at Sun Zhuo as well.
Just then, when I called out his name, the gazes of all the elders were filled with surprise, and the disciples behind Sun Zhuo also looked puzzled.
"Little Brother, do you know Sun Zhuo?" He You Tian thought for a moment.
Sun Zhuo's expression changed slightly, a trace of unease in his eyes, and sweat beads formed on his forehead.
However, there was a smile on my face, and I replied: "It's not just acquaintance, but a kind of affection."
"Bloodwise, the father and son of the Sun family are considered my mother's brother's family, Sun Zhuo is a cousin."
"Yes, Sun Zhuo."
I spoke again.
This was also a hint from Mao You San to me.
You must give him a warning when you meet Sun Zhuo!
The people of the Four Rules Mountain are not familiar with the situation of Jin Yang, Sun Zhuo is likely to play another act to show our close or distant relationship, occupy some level of initiative, and then come in a dirty way.
If I speak first, then Sun Zhuo will be afraid, afraid that I will bring up the issue of stealing life force in front of everyone.
Of course, I definitely can't say it directly. Even if I did, it would cause chaos in the Four Rules Mountain. That's just for a while, after all. Since I am only here, there will be few people who will stand on my side. I'm afraid to anger Mingjing True Man and have him unleash a fierce attack on me.
However, besides this thing, it is necessary to press the thing to form a hanging sword on Sun Zhuo.
Other matters are of no concern!
"Yes, yes." Sun Zhuo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief slightly.
"cousin? The bloodline is already extremely close. Sun Zhuo's talent is indeed excellent. I didn't expect that Master also chose a disciple from the same bloodline. It's a great fate."
"Young Master, since you knew early on that Sun Zhuo is a disciple of the Four Rules Mountain's true man, why didn't you come up the mountain sooner?"
He You Tian asked me.
"The Master has taught me that one should not reveal their Dao power until they have mastered it. I have not displayed my Dao skills in front of too many people. And I did not know the exact identity of Sun Zhuo. I only knew that the Sun family had seized our family property and tried to kill me. And after Sun Zhuo recognized me, he wanted to kill me as soon as possible."
"The candidates under Jinyang's supervision, the green-robed monks all followed his commands as if they were his arms."
"Following him to the mountain, it would be better to go to the grave early."
"If I were to show a bit more Dao skill and let Sun Zhuo know my background, hehe."
With just a few words, I directly mentioned half of the Sun family's affair, my words becoming even colder.
Suddenly, sweat dripped like rain from Sun Zhuo's forehead. His eyes were staring as big as saucers, and the look he was giving me was one of shock and doubt.
In a flash, the entire audience fell silent.
He You Tian's gaze towards Sun Zhuo was laced with scrutiny and coldness.
However, only he had such expressions and demeanor.
The other red-robed monks did not express their attitude, mostly with a thoughtful look.
The monks behind Sun Zhuo appeared slightly uneasy.
The reaction of these monks was as I expected.
Of course, it is not beyond the expectations of Mao You San.
They have not believed me entirely, much less said anything more.
"I had no idea there was such a conflict between you and Sun Zhuo."
"This matter, my brother is not good to speak too much. Please have the true man judge later."
"Young Master, do you have anything else to say?"
"The Four Rules Mountain has the least shortage of fairness." He You Tian's words were like a statement to me and like trying to stabilize Sun Zhuo.
I shook my head and wore a faint smile on my face.
Sun Zhuo did not respond.
A thin sweat slide down from the top of his forehead, and he released a sigh of relief instead.
This is the strategy of psychological warfare.
He thought I would say more, but since I didn't, he became complacent.
In fact, the things I said were enough to make him passive.
"As Master said, practicing Daoism requires cutting off thoughts. I mentioned the matters between me and the Sun family, which was asked by my elder brother. Since my elder brother asked, I told it in truth."
"The concept of justice is sufficient in the hearts of people. If one has too strong a desire, they are more likely to lag behind."
"Cutting off thoughts and asking the heart can lead to openness and honesty. If one's path is broad, heart demons will not approach."
I repeated the words that Mao You San had taught me, word for word.
He You Tian's eyes gleamed with insight, and the group of red-robed monks were equally moved.
At this moment, Xiang Kai rushed to He You Tian's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Good! Good! Good!"
He You Tian said "good" three times in a row, each forming an echo that lingered on.
