Indeed, Wu Jinluan knows little about most things.
Even just considering my previous two sentences, along with Mao You San's reputation, it is enough for him to form a rough conclusion!
“The Daoist Master Luo is not alone. Your words are too persuasive and incendiary,” Wu Jinluan spoke again, speaking with absolute conviction.
"Moreover, under Juqu Mountain, you think Master Luo narrowly escaped death, but in our view, he sliced through an immortal and has not yet exerted his full strength. Moreover, Juqu Mountain may not dare to do anything to them."
"You, not the timely rain. We can choose not to take this car, but Master Luo took it because of your trust, and the trust we have in our friends."
"Friends won't harm each other."
With those words, Wu Jinlan stepped behind me, showing a slight deference in his posture towards me, but his attitude towards Mao You San was inflexible to the extreme!
For a moment, the top of the mountain fell silent again!
It didn't last long before Mao You San sighed slightly and said, "Friends won't harm each other. Who says that's not the case?"
"It seems that you've encountered too many dangers and too many plots, making you see a snake in a shadowed bow. Wu Jinlan, the master of the Immortal Path Academy, is from the new force of the Yin-Yang world's Mr. Masters, young and promising, with limitless potential! You, on the other hand, have a resilient mind and know how to repay kindness; indeed, you are quite remarkable."
Mao You San did not get angry.
He looked at Wu Jinluan with a rich appreciation in his eyes.
It was as if we had misunderstood him, yet he remained generous and magnanimous.
"People, as they grow older, always have some miscalculations and control slips, such as Wuling, and some of my fixed perceptions."
"Immortal, I will be watching over you. There are many reasons for this, and you need not doubt my goodwill. Juqu Mountain is not as you perceive it. No matter what hidden cards you have in your hand, I can tell you that they will not recognize them."
"This is a dead end."
"The deadlock of Juqu Mountain. If you stay, it will become your own deadlock."
"When a true person who has died in ritual suicide awakens, this deadlock has already been established."
Mao You San's words have become profound once again.
I furrowed my brow slightly.
Can Mao You San really calculate that accurately?
I'm not doubting his abilities. I just think he might be wrong about Old Gong and the Juqu Mountain situation.
Is it possible that he's trying to shift the focus away from Wu Jinlan and his criticism, using this method to ease the tension between us?
"Come to the point, Juqu Mountain. Don't go back, and believe me."
"Another matter is that the rebellious person was indeed too daring."
Mao You San's fingers gently tapped the side of the table, a full face of sighs: "I didn't know that he had done so many things secretly, I didn't know that he, and that person have connections."
The rebellious person refers to Wuling, naturally.
Who is the person referred to?
"Xu family's three souls should have been taken by that person. I can find a white bloodline, that is Wuling, perhaps he was also manipulated. Perhaps it's not that Wuling was rebellious, but he had problems himself, and was part of the plot." Mao You San's words have completely changed my understanding of many things!
"In some cases, perhaps Wuling also defied that person's orders. Maybe it's that they discovered something more valuable to obtain, and I am no longer their first choice."
"First choice?" I feel even more confused and uncertain.
Sun Zhuo's body has not been returned. Let me guess. He was emptied out, even the Old Jun command and some skeletons from the Si Gu Shan were missing, right? Mao You San said this.
He said again, "Immortal, what do you think is the most abundant thing around me?"
"Bones!" I suddenly answered, and corrected once more: "The bones of a Daoist!"
"I hunt Daoists, someone wants to hunt me, waiting to benefit from the fishing folk's advantage. However, perhaps Wuling suddenly has his own ideas and wants to walk the righteous path. Or maybe that person thinks there is something more worthwhile to explore in Si Gu Shan, causing Wuling to depart and give up on me, entering Si Gu Shan." Mao You San spoke again, but a layer of gloom had descended upon my heart.
Indeed, there are people behind Wuling.
Could take away souls right under Lao Gong's watch.
Can teach Wuling some methods that Mao You San has never seen before!
I have never ignored this point, but I didn't realize that this person had been planning it all along, not that Wuling betrayed halfway through.
Mao You San, how could it all be someone else's prey?
"But Wuling should be very depressed. You have forced him to this extent, exposing himself in front of me and being unable to return to Si Gu Shan. He should feel that he has had a terrible run of luck."
"The person behind Wuling is also filled with hatred towards you, extremely eager to kill you, but that person has not appeared. He should be temporarily unable to appear, constrained by some difficulties or threats."
"You won't be able to find him, and he won't be able to find you," Mao You San said with confidence.
"Then what... how?" I furrowed my eyes and asked Mao You San: "Do you want to use me to clean up the family and deal with the person behind Wuling at the same time? Have you already found a way?"
I felt that Mao You San had only revealed his true intentions at this point.
If I hadn't exposed him earlier and hadn't stated my position, perhaps he would have achieved both aims at once?
Now, he should be sincerely cooperating with us.
"I need eight pieces of immortal bones to help me accomplish something great."
"After this matter is completed, I will help you with any task you wish to undertake. The person behind Wuling, including Wuling himself, will no longer pose any threat to you. Most importantly, I can help you conceal your destiny and avoid detection."
Mao You San's words left me speechless again.
"Immortal bones? Crazy!" Wu Jinluan's demeanor faltered, and the way he looked at Mao You San was truly that of a madman.
"I must have immortal bones. The other deceased Daoists, I had originally wanted to cultivate them into spirits to cross the barriers, but none of them were suitable; they didn't have the potential. The shortcut has failed."
"Immortal bones are the threshold, but it is too difficult to get them to work for you willingly."
"Immortal, you have this opportunity. From generation to generation, each Daoist temple has accumulated three immortals from past generations. Their bones will not be scarce." Mao You San's eyes shone brightly.
"So, that's why you originally wanted to send me to Si Gu Shan. Maybe one from Si Gu Shan would be enough?" My chest heaved continuously.
Mao You San did not directly answer, but his gaze conveyed the answer to me.
"Moving Si Gu Shan is a great offense to me. Moving other Daoist temples is a waste of their trust! This is no different from my parents' actions when I was young. I cannot do it."
I said this without any hesitation, directly extinguishing Mao You San's thought.
"You can do it, and you don't have to do it. Someone else will do it. It's not just me who wants the bones, and I will ensure that the bones remain intact. They are different, they will take everything." Mao You San looked at me deeply, his gaze even more intense.
"Wuling is not much of a problem, it's the person behind him. One person achieves enlightenment, all his relatives and pets are elevated. The day that person becomes extremely enlightened, that's when Wuling will come to seek revenge from you."
