"Master Qiu, you'd better wait quietly here for a while." Si Yan opened his mouth.
My doubts and scrutiny.
Caused Qiu Ji to react extremely.
He wants to use He You Tian to pressure me, but, He You Tian trusts me and stands on my side, and Si Yan trusts me unconditionally.
The pressure of two true people is greater.
Qiu Ji fell silent, cast a glance at the bedroom door, and turned to walk out of the courtyard.
I took two steps forward, blocking Qiu Ji.
"How come, Daoist Luo? You are going to restrict where I go?"
"I have no problems, stand straight and sit properly. If you don't let me see, then I won't see. We will naturally meet again later." Qiu Ji's tone grew colder, as if he was suppressing his emotions.
"Mr. Qiu, wait a moment." Tang Wu opened his mouth, and he gently stroked his beard with one hand.
Qiu Ji had completely quieted down, fell silent, but his face turned slightly red, and his eyes showed a change of mood.
Had it not been for Mao Sheng's special circumstances, even without Qiu Ji coming, I would have gone to look for him proactively.
That's much better, it saves a lot of trouble.
Time passes slowly.
A creaking sound, the door opened.
Several people walked out, including the several doctors carrying the medicine boxes, as well as the third elder Yutaiyin Li and Wu Jinluan, who was the last to leave.
Everyone had blood on their hands, and their sleeves were soaked in a bright red color.
"How is Daoist Mao Sheng?" I asked immediately to Wu Jinluan.
Wu Jinluan remained silent and didn't answer. He narrowed his eyes and kept staring at Qiu Ji.
Those doctors quickly walked up to Qiu Ji, their expressions tightened, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Liu Taiyin stood still at the threshold without moving.
Our conversation before wasn't very quiet, so the people in the house must have all heard it.
Their reaction was normal, but Wu Jinluan's reaction made my heartbeat irregular.
A quick glance inside the room caught sight of Mao Sheng, whose complexion was still rosy, and there didn't seem to be any problem with him.
"The Corpse Dan is missing. The person can't die, but can't wake up either. The wounds are sutured and there is no sign of vitality, this Corpse Dan seems to have a different effect from normal. It seems like it has been digested, but it's impossible. We will continue to observe." Wu Jinluan finally answered my question.
"Mr. Qiu, have you or anyone you instructed ever been to the mountains along our route?" Wu Jinluan asked Qiu Ji the next question.
Qiu Ji's demeanor grew even colder, and he answered a different question: "I am the master of Gu Qiang City. Mr. Wu, even though we have a good relationship, you shouldn't question me like this. It's as if I wouldn't run to the celestial haven to confront you with any baseless accusations."
"Then answer my other question, are you Qiu Ji?" Wu Jinluan's words were the same as mine.
Qiu Ji's breath became very urgent, and his chest rose and fell.
He closed his eyes slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "I have not gone to the mountain of the fallen rocks. I haven't entrusted anyone to go there. I, have not disturbed any feng shui of that mountain."
"You haven't answered my question. I asked if you are Qiu Ji. Why won't you open your eyes?" Wu Jinluan asked with an insinuating tone and cold words: "Why don't you open your eyes?"
Qiu Ji suddenly opened his eyes, his eye sockets slightly red.
"I'm not Qiu Ji, then who am I? What is your attitude? Do you think, I, have been possessed by someone else?"
Qiu Ji's words directly exposed the situation.
Wu Jinluan narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brow. His eyes were like arrows, as if they were trying to penetrate Qiu Ji's heart.
"Mr. Wu, when dealing with that Ji Kui, it wasn't me, it was Daoist Luo. Daoist Luo said that the man was most likely to be scattered in soul and spirit. Even if he hadn't been scattered in soul and spirit, has he ever come to me?" Qiu Ji's anger was totally suppressed.
Wu Jinluan's brow furrowed even tighter.
At this time, Liu Taiyin opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Wu, have you recognized him clearly?"
"If there is no event, should there be no need to constantly pressure the master?" Liu Taiyin's tone was calm.
I looked at Wu Jinluan.
Wu Jinluan's eyes contained a hint of confusion.
"Humph, do you need to take my soul out and look at it again?" Qiu Ji swept his sleeves again, enraged.
Wu Jinluan's reaction made me understand that Qiu Ji has no problem, the words have no problem, the eyes have no problem, and the whole person has no problem.
Did I make a mistake?
"Since there was a misunderstanding, it's just a misunderstanding. Master also please understand, Daoist Luo narrowly escaped death and Mr. Wu is careful in his deeds. Juqiu Mountain is naturally thinly populated, and the serious injury received by the observation master on behalf of the ancient Qiang City requires an explanation." Liu Taiyin said.
"Display the spirit, apologize." He You Tian said immediately.
Liu Taiyin spoke from a fair and impartial position, making He You Tian's words even more reasonable.
I clasped my fists and was about to bow.
"Not necessary, Qiu is unworthy." Qiu Ji said coldly and then walked towards the courtyard outside.
The other few carrying medicine boxes rushed to follow him.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was tense.
"True Master He, Master Tang, True Master Si Yan, we should temporarily leave, allowing Xian Shen's friend and Mr. Wu, as well as the disciples of Juqu Mountain and Daoist Mao Sheng, some privacy for a while," Liu Taiyin said afterwards.
He nodded and smiled kindly at me, then walked towards the courtyard outside.
The people from Chunyang Daoist Temple are all open-minded and he hasn't been angered.
Soon, they left.
"Too strange." Wu Jinluan opened his mouth first.
The disciples of Juqiu Mountain were confused about the situation. They knew nothing and just stood at the door, peering in and wanting to go in but afraid to do so.
"Is he really okay?" I was extremely uncomfortable.
"If he can deceive me, then there is only one explanation: his ability is higher than mine. If he is the treacherous traitor of Gu Qiang City, it is indeed possible. Then it will require President Wei to look at him." Wu Jinluan sighed slightly and said, "The sky will clear naturally when it gets dark. He can't escape unless he doesn't want this skin shell."
I fell silent again.
"Is it really him who wanted to kill Daoist Luo? Are we all in trouble?" A sentence mountain disciple whispered, "But... why?"
"The situation is complicated, and knowing more is not good. Don't ask," Wu Jinluan sighed slightly.
"And... what about the acting master?" Another person asked worriedly.
"You can go in and check, he's fine." Wu Jinluan said after finishing, but walked a few steps into the courtyard.
The disciples of Juqiu Mountain went into the room, and I walked over to Wu Jinluan's side. His voice had become particularly small, only audible to me: "Most likely, it is the evil souls in the Corpse Dan that are causing trouble. He has taken residence in Mao Sheng's body. That's why I can't find the Dan. It also suppresses the vitality of the Corpse Dan, prevents Mao Sheng from being stuffed to death, and sutured wounds, my probe."
I felt a tightness in my chest.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease and regret.
These two issues were intertwined, causing me to feel like a rat in a trap.
"It shouldn't have been me who let the eldest brother and his friends leave," I said in a hoarse voice.
"It's no use, if there is a true master here, the evil spirit won't react, it will just stay in him. I have another way to extract the Dan, but it's very troublesome. If Qiu Ji has a problem, or someone from Gu Qiang City has a problem, we can't do it or it will kill people."
Wu Jinluan's words pushed the complexity of the situation to a new level.
