Mao Sheng showed little reaction, and along with the three disciples of Juanqu Mountain, they were more expressions of doubt.
They did not know about the betrayal of the ancient Qiangcheng City, which is normal.
Wu Jinluan, however, stood as if facing a great enemy, looking surprised and bewildered.
"Venerable Luo, why do you say that?" asked Liu Yujie.
The pupils of Liu Zhenqi and Liu Taoyin both flashed a trace of odd color.
Apart from their expressions, the three of them had not made any significant movements, which could be considered maintaining composure.
"I'm not Qiu Jie, then who am I?"
"The master Luo, you have already let that ghost take my soul. You witnessed it yourself." Qiu Jie's eyes flashed with surprise, as if what I said was completely absurd.
"Master Qiu, indeed, he holds himself very high. Under the strict words of Elder Liu'er, he may have slightly constrained himself, but more often than not, he ignores me as if I didn't exist. He treats me as someone a level below him. You, you've been deliberately singling me out." I said in a hoarse voice.
"Master Qiu? Him? You?" Qiu Jie shook his head: "Master Luo, are you confused or have you become infected with the worm poison because of your close proximity to the three corpse worms earlier?"
"Why would you so readily agree that changing the feng shui here is a good thing?" I questioned.
"Quiet? Just because the old Gong cannot appear? More importantly, it should be that Weimingang cannot appear either. He cannot see your essence for a moment!"
"When did you complete the act of taking possession of another body?"
"You, originally, should have been on the body of Liumao Dao Zhuang. Liumao Dao Zhuang and Li Ziyu are very close. As long as he slightly incites a few words, unknowingly, Li Ziyu will inevitably do some things that seem to be within the rules, but are actually against the rules."
"Li Ziyu was punished. You deliberately used Liumao Daozhuang to plead for mercy. You know everything about ancient Qiangcheng City. You knew that you would be scolded, so we would focus on you and then lose interest, not suspecting you."
"Li Ziyu was confined to the grotto. You insisted on going there, just in time to miss Master Lihong's process of releasing the yang spirit."
"You actually also calculated that, after the body is released, whether it's successful or not, the corpse will be sent here."
"That's why you've been waiting here early, letting your soul escape from Liu Mou Daozhuang's body, making it look like he might have been killed by releasing the yang spirit, and seizing the opportunity to possess Qiu Jie!"
My words hit the ground with a resounding sound.
"Saying it so confidently, but in fact, it's particularly absurd, almost laughable!" Qiu Jie's eyes reddened slightly as he looked at Liu Yujie and shouted: "Second Elder, you are the one who upholds the rules. How can you watch this boy defame me like this?"
Liu Yujie didn't speak. There was deep contemplation in his eyes.
Liu Taoyin also scrutinized Qiu Jie with the utmost seriousness.
At this time, Liu Zhenqi said: "Master, you were not so polite to the Second Elder before."
"After he scolded you, you only led the way. After that, you didn't say a single word to the Second Elder. Even when you were blocked at the pass, observing the celestial signs and feng shui, the Second Elder followed you, and you ignored him. How could your character possibly have turned to him for help?"
"Moreover, after hearing the words of the chief and the deputy chief, your response to the questioning of the divine minor was very firm; they forcibly extracted souls."
"Your attitude, why isn't it as firm as before?"
Liu Zhenqi's question was more specific.
After all, my understanding of Qiu Jie is not enough, just based on our current interactions, and coupled with the fact that the feng shui of Xuanming Mountain has been altered and Old Gong is restricted, I feel there's a problem. On closer reflection, the issue seems more serious.
The Pure Yang Sect would only know Qiu Jie better and deeper than me.
A slight reminder would make the strange phenomena they could see even more obvious.
"As for the word 'traitor,' you did not show any defense for him before. You, you defended him," Liu Yujie added a sentence.
Quiet, for a moment, there was only complete silence.
Qiu Jie remained silent, just looking at me.
"You can still clear your suspicions by having the Second Elder extract your soul personally. If you're innocent, I will accept any punishment for twice suspecting and offending your teacher's dignity, at your discretion," I spoke again. "Even if it means kneeling in front of the big brother in front of everyone, I will comply."
"No!" Mao Sheng said decisively: "Although I may not know what connections you have with Master Luo and what issues you have with ancient Qiangcheng City, please help clarify your suspicions."
"Otherwise, I Mao Sheng will offend you!"
Mao Sheng's defense of me carried a particularly strong meaning.
He was originally sitting alone on a makeshift platform carried by the disciples of Juanqu Mountain.
The body leaped forward suddenly, aiming straight at Qiu Jie's face!
Theoretically speaking, Qiu Jie would be unable to avoid it.
After all, he was just a teacher. He had just recently understood the Burial Shadow Observation Mountain Technique. According to Wu Jinluan's words, the purely Burial Shadow Observation Mountain Technique was just a form of feng shui. Even if this feng shui technique reached its peak level and could predict and cause changes in the feng shui, Qiu Jie himself was still far from this level.
But Qiu Jie managed to dodge it.
It was just a dodge, but as he took a step back, even though there was a path leading up the mountain behind him, he managed to place his foot skillfully just outside the path's edge, and his entire figure disappeared.
Mao Sheng missed and stood up with one leg, ready to charge towards the place where Qiu Jie disappeared.
"Master Mao Sheng!" Wu Jinluan reacted quickly and immediately stopped Mao Sheng.
"Don't go there, it may be dangerous!"
Liu Zhenqi and the others were shocked and angry, so they shot out three copper swords from his sleeves in quick succession, which pierced into the place where Qiu Jie disappeared. The copper swords did not sink into the ground, but also vanished without a trace.
This small area is the illusion created by the Burial Shadow Observation Mountain technique, and who knows what other arrangements lie within?
We dare not venture into it.
This traitor possessed Liu Mou when he was possessed by him, and probably entered this place many times to change the feng shui details inside.
Especially back then, he must have set up even more traps and pitfalls.
Just the beginning.
The road ahead is visible, and it's our way back.
Even without Qiu Jie leading the way, if our memory is good enough, we should be able to return on the same path.
Just then, a piece of powder suddenly fell from above on the path we were walking on, giving off a faint smell of grass and wildflowers.
Thin mycelia were poking through the surface of the path, thin and small, white, looking very strange.
"Don't go over there!" Liu Zhenqi was shocked and scared.
I also noticed the problem. This feeling is similar to that of a mountain covered in poisonous corpses and scattered flowers everywhere.
The mushrooms that suddenly appear must be abnormal!
"Solitary gurgle, gurgle."
The gurgling sound started to arise.
I twisted my gaze to see a coffin slowly rising from the pool of water. It was pure white, exactly the same as a traditional jade casket!
There was a person standing next to the pool of water by the side of the coffin in the rear!
Though not very clear from a distance, it could still be recognized as Qiu Jie!
With the Burial Shadow Observation Mountain feng shui technique deployed everywhere in this place, Qiu Jie could literally slip through our very eyes without anyone noticing!
