Mao Yi did not respond, but a layer of killing intent flashed in his eyes, surging and overflowing.
The disciples in the field, without exception, all had boiling blood and murderous intent!
I was well aware that the attitude of Juqushan towards me was so bad that the probability of their believing me was very low. That's my words, equivalent to tearing down the stage of their master and ancestors. People who believe in me may be even fewer!
But it's still the same thing, if Juqushan falls, it will inevitably mean the complete loss of control of the Plague Ghost.
I am not dare to expose the past of Wu Huangming to Four Guidelines Mountain. Four Guidelines Mountain may know Wu Huangming, but they did not act immediately. Looking back now, perhaps it has something to do with the overall strength of Four Guidelines Mountain.
Zheng Ren's favoritism has led to the gradual decline of the mountain gate. Now He Wen can only close himself up for a long time, and the second senior elder cannot hold the big situation.
This matter cannot be avoided, and it must be done.
Even if it cannot be completed, it must be completed!
If we cannot eliminate Wu Huangming, we cannot just watch him grow bigger and bigger.
"I swear by my life and the Taoist heritage!"
"If Luo Xian Sheng speaks a lie today, the Heavenly Thunder will strike and your corpse will be annihilated! If you, Ma Yi, the deputy headmaster, do not believe me, please dispatch your disciples to go down to the nearby city temple and bring the Night Patrol to investigate. They will certainly be able to get an answer!" I suddenly raised my hand and pointed directly at the night sky outside the hall.
Before pausing, I added another sentence: "That's why I'm so certain. It's also because the corpse is as precious as the Master of the Underworld. I didn't know this before, but it was a corpse my parents stole, and they made a deal with Méngfáng, exchanging it for something else. They used it for other purposes and encountered Wu Huangming. This incident can be corroborated by many things."
"Believing me won't bring you any loss, but if you don't, you should know that Wu Huangming has eaten humans and can transform into any form after it becomes a ghost! Even more so, he might want to eat you!"
"Who can bear the consequences of this?!"
I didn't hold anything back, and these words were said with great severity!
The disciples outside the hall looked startled and confused, and for a moment, no one dared to speak.
Ma Yi's eyes, which were squinted, opened.
He hummed first, with a very indifferent appearance.
"Swearing by the Taoist heritage, you are very confident in what you say, that there will be no loss? Do you know that this will make the former deputy headmaster of our mountain utterly disappointed in me?"
"Since he's been back, he's done a lot of things for our Juqushan mountain. He's defeated all the evil ghosts and large undead within a hundred miles..."
Ma Yi's voice suddenly cut off, his face remained indifferent, but beads of thin sweat had formed on his forehead.
"Send someone to fetch the headmaster and the Deputy Headmaster Mao Su." Ma Yi's eyelids twitched slightly.
"I let out a big sigh of relief."
It's true that you don't believe me.
I swear by the Taoist heritage, and it's true that they have to believe me by a little bit.
"A Taoist swearing by the Taoist heritage is most effective, especially as I am a disciple of Four Guidelines Mountain and use the thunderous heaven's oath. Ma Yi cannot bear that consequence, and our Juqushan mountain cannot bear that result."
Disciples rushed forward, offering to go and ask.
Ma Yi nodded.
At this time, another disciple stepped forward, speaking in a low voice, "Deputy headmaster, the disciple thinks that perhaps someone should also go down the mountain. There is a city temple near the sentence mountain, and it should not be difficult to bring the Night Patrol."
Ma Yi's change in attitude was directly obvious to the disciples, and these people were not stupid either.
Ma Yi grunted again.
However, I felt a sense of panic and confusion, like falling from a high place.
"Impossible!" I broke in abruptly, with an even more solemn tone.
"Hmm?" Ma Yi's brow furrowed, his two eyebrows twisting into a character that resembles a 'V'. "Luo Xian Shen, do you have anything else to say?"
"At this moment, all the disciples in the field cannot leave, no one is allowed to leave." I said one word at a time: "Possibly, someone has already been eaten by Wu Huangming Ghost, abnormal Taoists. Go and ask Ma Yi, the Deputy Headmaster."
"What does this mean, Luo Xian Shen?!" From outside the hall, someone immediately shouted in anger and asked.
Ma Yi looked at me solemnly, then suddenly said, "We will do as you say. All the disciples must enter the hall. Before the headmaster returns, no one is to leave under any circumstances. If anyone dares to leave in haste, all the disciples are to immediately detain them."
The disciples all looked at me angrily, especially those who had been sent to summon others and those who had volunteered to go down the mountain, their eyes were even more sharp, like swords.
However, they dare not disobey Ma Yi's intention and all entered the great hall.
The person guarding the front of the hall was the red-robed Taoist from before.
Only when Ma Yi went out did I notice that he was carrying a water bag on his waist, which was filled with Tian Gongquan.
"Chuang's stubbornness is somewhat operative, but not that stubborn." The old Gong spoke in a fine voice and said leisurely.
I took a shallow breath and sat in front of the great hall, making no other moves.
The red-robed Taoist looked at me and snorted coldly.
I still didn't react.
Time passed slowly, and after about ten minutes, Ma Yi had not returned. The many Taoists in the great hall sat cross-legged, the hall was so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.
An hour had passed, and people began to sit restlessly. They were whispering to each other, and in a few words, I understood that they were saying that the residence of the headmaster and Ma Yi, the Deputy Headmaster, was in a side hall nearby. Why haven't they come for so long?
"Quiet." The red-robed Taoist lifted his hand and pressed it down, saying, "Ma Yi Deputy Headmaster must be discussing matters with the headmaster and Ma Su, Deputy Headmaster. Perhaps they have already arranged for the remaining disciples to go down the mountain. We are 'insiders' in this matter. Although Luo Xian Shen is not a good person, his suspicions are not unfounded. For the sake of Juqushan's Daoist heritage and mountain gate security, everyone please be patient and wait."
This waiting made time seem slow and long.
Finally, Ma Yi returned, accompanied by two people who walked together.
One of them had a long face, with a goat beard and extremely long eyebrows that drooped from the corners of his eyes, holding a dust brush.
The other person was white-haired, wearing a crown, with a clean-shaven face and no whiskers. His eyes appeared spotless and clean, as if he were a newborn baby.
"Deputy headmaster, headmaster!"
The red-robed Taoist bowed first, followed by the other Taoists.
From the way they addressed their names and the slight bowing, the man with the long face, goat beard, and long eyebrows must be Mao Su, and the white-haired elder with eyes as pure as if he had returned to his primitive state must be the headmaster of Juqushan Temple.
Mao Su and the headmaster of Juqushan Temple's gaze swept over the many disciples before landing on me.
The former's eyes scrutinized, while the latter looked at me constantly, nodding slightly and smiling faintly.
"The young master of Four Guidelines Mountain, you have some courage and wisdom. After the official master returned to Juqushan Temple, he never came to pay respect to the hallowed figure of the Three Mao. I always had some suspicions about it."
"The city god of Zhuozhou's realm is already in contact. He has dispatched someone to Juqushan Mountain and sent a strand of Sir Yeon."
"Haha, if Uncle Guan is not the Wu Huangming Ghost, Luo Xian Shen, are you willing to accept the punishment?" The headmaster of Juqushan Temple said faintly with a smile.
