"No, I will not." I shook my head.
Wu Jinluan's tense expression was only slightly eased.
The other gentlemen, upon seeing the book in my hand, all had looks of confusion, accompanied by a trace of shock.
After all, the cover of the book is very clear and straightforward, it is the inheritance of Mount Yuquan.
"However, ... during the time when the two were fighting, seized this inheritance... is not a matter of honor and light, Master Luo should put it away. If let by someone from Yuquan Village to see, even will..."
A gentleman had just begun to speak when another, feeling uncomfortable, interrupted to say: "Once the immortal who was struck by lightning and left on the brink of death awakens, they will also find that the inheritance is gone. This matter itself has great potential dangers. As the junior uncle of Shigu Mountain, Master Luo should... This item should not remain in his possession? The greed in Master's heart would lead him to take extreme measures. Similarly, a Taoist would also gradually deviate from..."
The last two words, the gentleman did not say.
Wu Jinluan's face remained stern, deep in thought.
In fact, none of the people in the room knew the origin of this inheritance. They each expressed their opinions, which was fine. Wu Jinlan's attitude was much more forceful. Similarly, he had his own selfish desires and greed, which is why after seeing the inheritance, he wanted me to keep it in my hands regardless of its origins.
"This is not the inheritance of Guangliang, it is..." I slightly closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I changed my tone: "An elder left it for me. That elder has already dispersed their soul and spirit."
"On the surface, his identity is the previous Master of Yuquan Village, who was known as Mao Xian. His disciples included Mao Xi, Mao Su, and Mao Yi."
My few words caused the gentlemen to look on in shock.
Wu Jinluan's cheeks slightly reddened, his breath slightly accelerated, before he said: "Therefore... this inheritance is a backup plan? If the devil's ghost cannot be persuaded by kind words, and Yuquan Village refuses to listen to our advice and avoid confrontation, then... let them perish on their own?"
"Master Luo, you have an extraordinary relationship with the elder of Yuquan Mountain. Since he left the inheritance to you, does that also mean it's like entrusting his child to you? Did he know about the changes Yuquan Mountain would face in some situations? Did he know that the mountain's gate might collapse? Leaving behind the inheritance is like preserving a flame, just like... the Lei Ping Tao Temple?"
Wu Jinluan's words hit the mark!
It was also my idea while I was descending the mountain on my way down!
The only difference is that Mao Zhan did not know about the changes facing Yuquan Mountain, which might be a disaster that could destroy the sect.
He was just too greedy and selfish.
The expressions of the other gentlemen had become much more normal, and they nodded silently.
"It's best not to delay; let's go back quickly..."
"No... Master Luo, you mentioned earlier that you still had something to leave behind for them. What do you want to leave behind for them?" Wu Jinluan showed some surprise and asked me again.
I pondered for a moment and did not directly answer Wu Jinluan but said instead: "On the way to save Golden Wheel Master, we actually encountered a very difficult problem that could not be solved in theory. Therefore, it was impossible to bring them out safely. The reason why those Taoist priests with umbrellas were chasing me was because we had made a simple alliance at that time, and they paid the price of losing one of their disciples in order for us to escape with Golden Wheel Master."
"They were also going to sacrifice the life of a disciple to obtain something from the tomb, but when the General Mountain collapsed, Old Gong realized what was happening and took advantage of his ghostly body to seize the item."
The gentlemen all looked at each other in disbelief, and Wu Jinluan also changed color.
"So... they pursued us? In a way, the emergence of Guangliangfei from Yuquan Mountain can be said to be suffering from an unexpected disaster?" Wu Jinluan asked awkwardly.
"It might, it might not. I take out this inheritance, just when those Taoist priests find it, I originally could have escaped, but Guangliangfei held me back. He was relying on his strength and status to confront the second elder of the Taoist priests with a hat, who is White Pine. Well... The deceased body of Guangliangfei after refining under a dark cloud is also the "treasure" that they desire."
The last two characters, I emphasized especially.
In this way, the origin and development of the matter is basically explained clearly.
The gentlemen are discussing something quietly.
While contemplating, Wu Jinluan is also listening to what the others are saying.
Eventually, they supported my decision, and if the people of Yuquan Mountain do not listen to our advice, we will leave the item for those Taoist priests with hats, so as to avoid further trouble.
Wu Jinluan was also straightforward, saying that the item should not have been taken by us, as Old Gong had a heavier sense of greed. This was not good, as the other party had paid the price of losing a disciple and still managed to save us.
Moreover, Guang Liangxing is a proud and boastful person who wanted to capture me, only to end up on a hard spot. It's not like I intentionally diverted the trouble to them. By giving another warning to Yuquan Mountain, this matter should be basically smoothed over.
Someone understood me, and my emotions calmed down a lot. At that time, Old Gong should not be too stubborn, after all, this was originally his suggestion.
After leaving the park, I called a car and drove straight to Yuquan Mountain.
Until we reached the small town at the foot of the mountain, from the surface, there was no sign of anything unusual in the town; tourists came and went. But upon closer inspection, Taoists were positioned in subtle locations.
The events of last night finally made them increase their vigilance around their own home.
After getting off the car, I whispered to Wu Jinluan once again to explain that the people of Yuquan Mountain do not know about this inheritance. Guangliangfei thought that Bai Song wanted to take away their current inheritance, which is why he said that Bai Song should leave his own inheritance for them to see.
Wu Jinluan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
The other gentlemen also understood, knowing what should be said and what should not.
At this time, the Taoists hidden in the shadows began to walk towards us.
Soon, we were surrounded by a group of people.
Clearly, Guang Liangfei had not woken up yet, and they were unaware that I had come last night.
Seeing me, they all looked shocked, stunned, and even slightly angry!
Wu Jinluan and others had a strong attitude, surrounding and protecting me.
"Luoxian Shen! How dare you come to Yuquan Mountain!"
"Humph! Do you know that there is no place to hide in the world, and do you know that coming to surrender your crime is a mistake?"
A young Taoist in a green robe scolded me angrily.
Wu Jinluan glared at him and retorted, "What rank and strength do you have to dare speak to Master Luo like that? Yuquan Mountain is facing a great disaster. Master Luo has come to deliver a message and offer you a chance for survival. Don't you hurry up and lead the way to let us go up the mountain? If you delay matters, even destroying your Taoist practice wouldn't be enough to atone for your sins."
"A mouse-eyed piece of rubbish, from the dog's mouth, can't even produce ivory."
For a moment, I was greatly surprised by Wu Jinluan's response and oratory skills.
It seems that this lineage relies heavily on observing and analyzing facial features, as well as the power of speech and persuasion. All of them are strong in their ability to speak.
Old Gong relies purely on swearing dirty words, while Wu Jinluan points out the other person's strength and uses facts to hurt them.
The Taoist in the green robe, having been verbally attacked, seemed extremely angry.
The other Taoists may also be angry, but they daren't speak up. Someone whispered that they shouldn't anger me, lest I suddenly kill them and they wouldn't be able to escape.
For these junior Taoists, the deaths of five elders were a direct consequence of my actions.
They no longer dared to provoke me, and instead, they shifted their positions, surrounding Wu Jinluan and the other gentlemen, effectively surrounding me as well. Two of them led the way in front, steering clear of the town, and walked towards Yuquan Mountain from another direction.
