LiuziYu had been pale, and he remained silent.
Some of the Qiang people had called for help, with some still at the location where the vehicle plunged off the cliff, and others approaching us.
In the end, Wu Jinluan relaxed his fingers and shook his head, indicating that they had not come to any conclusions.
I remain silent.
There was a lot more blood beneath Mao Sheng's body. Normally, such an injury would have bled out by now, but his face was still normal, not at all pale; he just hadn't woken up.
"Let's go first, Master Mao Sheng needs further treatment for his injury," He Youan said.
"Yes, Big Brother," I said, my voice couldn't help but become hoarse.
Several vehicles made room, and the three disciples of Juqu Mountain, though reluctant, had to go with Yunjin Mountain because there wasn't enough space on their cars.
"I, Wu Jinluan, brought Mao Sheng on the car to Four Regular Mountains."
The disciples dare not speak, and He Youan's eyelids droop slightly, glancing at Mao Sheng, his eyes full of reluctance.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
From the window of the car, we could see that we had left the cliff road and entered the tunnel.
"Wait a moment. First, we need to prepare a hemostatic measure for Daoist Master Mao Sheng before trying to expel the Bad Corpse Powder simultaneously, or it will be difficult to handle." Wu Jinluan finally spoke up.
What he said was related to Mao Sheng, but it had no connection to the previous incident.
"Is it truly a coincidence, Mr. Wu? You should speak the truth without worrying about anything," He Youan said.
"It's truly a coincidence, at least from the perspective of positive calculation," Wu Jinluan shook his head, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
"So, Xian Shen, you should temporarily stop being hostile to the rest of the people in the Ancient Qiang City. We all know about the Ancient Qiang City; too much righteousness wouldn't lead to someone scheming against you," He Youtian said again.
"Understood, Big Brother," I slightly closed my eyes.
Indeed, the Ancient Qiang City has no issues.
From the earliest days at the Pure Yang Taoist Temple, when the Liu family Taoists were helpful to me, they have always been the least problematic people.
If they really had ghosts and really wanted to kill me, there are too many ways to do so, but they have no reason for that, and they haven't acted on it.
However, the entire Ancient Qiang City is problem-free.
What about someone who isn't from the Ancient Qiang City?
The person I thought of in my mind is Qiu Jip.
Initially, I comprehended the Taoist art that Mao Zhan gave me, killing Ji Kui and even scattering his soul to pieces.
There was a ghost on Ji Kui, who had once been a traitor of the Ancient Qiang City. Theoretically, that soul should have been dispersed by me.
Ever since Qiu Jip, people's sense of his operation became more refined.
To enter life and death can make people stronger.
I have been like this every time.
However, Qiu Jip's strength here is somewhat of a coincidence. At that time, I still had Wei Youming carefully observe him, and the result was that Qiu Jip was fine, and no one had taken over his body.
Not only Qiu Jip, but even Liu Ziyu and Liu Yujie, I also had Wei Youming observe them, and he didn't find anything either.
If that traitor could bypass Wei Youming, then today's incident makes sense.
The burial shadow observation is a skill that utilizes the changes of Feng Shui to kill. If it doesn't target me directly, but only targets the Feng Shui here, I happened to pass by and Feng Shui happened to change, which would form enough coincidences.
I don't know if Wu Jinlan has thought of these details, but in any case, I am now extremely vigilant about Qiu Jip!
The time spent in the tunnel was long, and when we emerged, the bright sunlight blinded us. The windows provided a clear view of towering mountains outside, with the Ancient Qiang City standing at the foot of the mountain. Most of the rooms were made of stone, which gave a sense of solidity and cleanliness.
The car drove through the interior of the Ancient Qiang City and finally stopped in front of the Pure Yang Taoist Temple.
Many people were waiting at the gates of the Taoist temple, including Liu Zhenqi, Liu Yujie, and the three elders, Liu Taiyin.
Originally, Liu Taiyin was outside, facing the elders and disciples' ancestors who were to dissolve their physical bodies and return to the Ancient Qiang City as an immortal.
As soon as we got off the car, several disciples of the Ancient Qiang City came forward and placed Mao Sheng on a stretcher. It was clear that Liu Ziyu had informed everyone about the situation along the way.
"Master Mao Sheng's condition is complicated. I need all the people in the Ancient Qiang City who are skilled in medicine, and it would be best if the elders are also knowledgeable in it." Wu Jinlan said, following closely behind Mao Sheng's stretcher.
"I know a little," Liu Taiyin opened his mouth.
"Good!" Wu Jinluan's eyes lit up with a hint of joy.
"Ziyu, come over," Liu Yujie called out.
Only when Liu Ziyu had walked to the front of Liu Yujie did he lower his head.
Slap!
A loud slap on Liu Ziyu's face, his head shook violently. Liu Yujie's palm was too heavy and for an instant, it distorted his face. Blood dripped from his lips.
"Xian Shen young friend, Ziyu indeed acted on his own initiative, causing you all to miss the changes on the road. The four disciples of Juqu Mountain fell off the cliff, and their chance of survival is extremely low. Master Mao Sheng has become disabled in his limbs, and he deserves death a thousand times over." Liu Yujie took a deep breath, heavily, and said solemnly, "The Liu family will make a statement. Ziyu, from today onwards, you are not allowed to step into the Pure Yang Taoist Temple at all. Kneel here."
Liu Yujie issued orders.
Most of the disciples' faces twitched slightly, but none of them dared to step forward to plead for mercy.
"Second Elder... Ziyu..."
A one-armed Taoist appeared from the crowd, it was Liu Mou.
"He has a liking for him, which is wrong, but not entirely wrong. Even if Mr. Wu was on that car, he couldn't observe changes in facial features, nor could he arbitrarily make a claim about changes in Feng Shui. I have consulted with the late master, and the late master's view is that since Mr. Wu was traveling together on that car, there would be an additional death." Liu Mou spoke quickly.
Most of the time, he and Liu Ziyu are traveling together and will come out to plead for mercy, which is reasonable.
When I heard the name of Qiu Jip, my face turned cold.
At this moment, Elder Liu Zhenqi spoke up: "The late master has been on the throne for not long, and while we should support our own people, in fact, it is indeed because of Ziyu that Mr. Wu had no chance to demonstrate his abilities. Moreover, the late master should not have concluded that Mr. Wu could not see the changes in Feng Shui."
"The wrong is wrong, without investigating the root cause or seeking an explanation, Liu Mou, you too will kneel beside Ziyu and accept the thirteen strokes. After the whipping, he will be confined in the cave and you will have no other responsibilities."
"Yes..." Liu Mou's face twitched slightly, he dared not speak further.
The two of them stepped back to the steps outside the Taoist temple and knelt on one side.
For the disposal of their own disciples by the Ancient Qiang City, no one could open their mouth.
The elders have spoken, and no one is convenient to plead for mercy.
Mao Sheng's plight makes it difficult for me to feel any sympathy for Liu Ziyu.
I also believe that the late master's view is too hasty.
How could Wu Jinlan not notice any changes in Feng Shui?
What Qiu Jip is saying must be words to protect his own people.
Moreover, he had no intention of letting Wu Jinlan get on the car, because if he did, the means used to kill me with this seemingly coincidental method would not be able to succeed.
The group entered the Pure Yang Taoist Temple.
A disciple arranged for everyone to rest.
I followed the litter, and they brought Mao Sheng into a room.
