He still strictly follows the morning bell time meditation practice, or chanting scriptures, or hand condensed a section of the moon, turned into a sword shadow, when the building and dance, not the slightest sense of being imprisoned.

In his spare time, he would also try in such an open place, Qi sunken Dantian, shouting, to test how far his voice can carry.

Once, a passing bird was frightened by him and threw several bubbles of bird droppings at him to show his anger.

Xiaochi Chi crossed his arms and laughed.

When he had laughed enough, he sat down on the edge of the unobstructed thousand-foot terrace, put his legs down, felt the dust-free and dirt-free breeze blowing from high above, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Shujue Duan said, "Sir, can you say something to me?"

Xiaochi Chi said, "You can rest assured of the plan. It's a little difficult to do, but it's not a problem to drag the surname Banquet into the water."

"No." Shujue Duan said, "I want you to say something else, to do something else. Not for my sake, but for your own sake."

Xiaochi Chi was stunned, and then lost his smile.

Shujue Duan its people, indeed, as written in the book, as a person of the clean and neutral, gentle as jade, obviously a sword cultivator, but a very few Confucian benevolence and naivete.

Xiaochi Chi asked him the question, "If it costs nothing to live again with your memories, would you strike early against Feast Jinhua?"

"In a new life, each person's choice may not be the same. If he can repent, I naturally do not need to add to the killing." Shujue Duan replied seriously, "But if he has other plans, I will never be compatible. Even for the sake of Brother Ye, I need to protect myself properly."

"...... but." Shujue Duan added, "If the time of the public trial is really powerless, I will choose to escape the mountain and go to Brother Ye."

"Fame don't want?"

Shujue Duan said, "Without him, where would I get my fame? Heaven and earth are the furnace, and everything is copper. I would rather turn a furnace of copper juice with him and not be separated from him, than to cause him to come to the mountain to save and repeat the mistakes of the previous life."

Xiaochi Chi said, "Okay. I remember."

Shujue Duan lost his smile and said, "Sir, you are still talking about the matter of being under."

Xiaochi Chi said, "I don't matter."

Shujue Duan says, "But you are very important to 'him'."

Xiaochi Chi said, "You know again?"

Shujue Duan wrote word for word, "When Master looked at you from behind, his feelings and attitude were like enjoying the moon."

Xiaochi Chi laughed: "You're still a poet."

Shujue Duan said gently, "I am just telling the truth."

Xiaochi Chi said, "He couldn't be looking at you."

Shujue Duan said, "Sir, why deceive yourself?"

Xiaochi Chi didn't hide it, saying, "Because I like him."

Like this thing, the benefits are endless, the downside is also endless, one of its obvious sequelae is intellectual disability.

And Xiaochi Chi needs to be sober enough to cope with what happens next.

In the morning of the fourth day, the sun was just powdering the green hills, and there were several sword qi coming from the west.

The leader is Yun Su.

He had a good personal relationship with Shujue Duan and was willing to trust his character, but everything that happened in Butterfly Valley was too confusing and he didn't know what kind of attitude to take towards Shujue Duan, so he had to do it in a businesslike manner in order to collect his thoughts: "The public trial begins, take Shujue Duan. "

He made Shujue Duan take a potion to restrain his body, before sharing a sword with him and taking him down to the Bright Moon Building.

The public trial was held at Phoenix Terrace.

The inner disciples in the mountain, totaling more than 1,300 people, went to watch the trial.

Yujing Wen's unexplained disappearance sparked a furor in the mountains.

Although he loves to travel, but never in the demon on the way to leave the truth, plus the umbrella sword lost, white robe stained with blood, people have to be alarmed.

Tingfeng Ren has ordered a news blackout, but for some reason, there is no use.

There are rumors in the mountain that Shujue Duan is ambitious and has joined hands with the viper to kill his master and betray his disciples, and some people even confuse Jiming Ye with the viper in Butterfly Valley. Shujue Duan had to violate the rules of ethics and kill, as if carrying a monitor, as if the master and disciple under the pants - crotch to follow the whole shooting.

Xiaochi Chi used his appendix to think that he knew which calf had done it.

So, when he was escorted to the Phoenix Terrace, he was in a fairly stable state of mind.

In contrast, Feast Jinhua was in a more emotional mood, even wanting to sing "Good Day".

As an important witness to testify against Shujue Duan, he was waiting for three days to strike a blow that would pull Shujue Duan down from the top and break his face and bones.

He has no more little brother, no more sword in stone, no more disciple, no more elixir refined by the mountain ghost, plan to take a step to waste a step, the mentality has long since collapsed into pieces.

Now, his desire to see Shujue Duan fall on his face for once has far outweighed his quest for mission accomplishment.

Mount Jingxu five monarchs are sitting on a high platform, the disciples see the time is coming, also stopped the noise, waiting for the public trial to begin.

When the chime rang three times, Xiaochi Chi knelt down on one knee, his eyebrows lowered, and he was very obedient.

Chiyunzi had not slept for several nights because of the disappearance of his brother, and now when he met Shujue Duan, his tone was calm, but he could not hide his coldness: "Shujue Duan, I want to hear what you have to say about Butterfly Valley three days ago."

Xiaochi Chi then tells the story of the Mo Xie formation, the disappearance of Yujing Wen, and Jiming Ye's rescue from danger, without tampering with the truth.

Chiyunzi frowned when he spoke of Jiming Ye, a viper who appeared halfway.

He asked, "This demon creature is acquainted with you?"

Xiaochi Chi replied, "Yes."

There was a subtle exchange of voices among the disciples.

"Is it a fellowship after entering the mountain, or is it an old acquaintance?"

Xiaochi Chi replied, "Old acquaintances."

"Where do you know each other from?"

Xiaochi Chi said clearly, "Mount Jingxu, Fish Light Pool."

Feast Jinhua : "......"

He was waiting for Shujue Duan to lie, for example, claiming that he had not known the viper for a long time, or that he did not know it at all, so that he could have the evidence in hand to slap him in the face, but Shujue Duan was telling the truth, and he was trying to listen further to find mistakes when Shujue Duan indirectly named him.

The opportunity is obviously active, instantly turned into passive, feast Jinhua a mouthful of air blocked in the chest, not up and down, suffocating a little want to roll their eyes.

Although he had already reported to Chiyunzi and other elders that Jiming Ye was kept by Shujue Duan in Fish Light Pool, which proves that they had a close personal relationship and were probably in collusion, the other disciples did not know about it.

There was a lot of chatter, and suspicious eyes turned to Feast Jinhua.

Fish Light Pool? Does this have anything to do with the banquet in Jinhua?

The centerpiece of the crowd's attention, Jinhua's face burned and his back tingled.

But he quickly calmed down.

The snake tooth necklace around Shujue Duan's neck is hard evidence of their previous acquaintance.

Yujing Wen was arrested, it is impossible to come back to protect Shujue Duan.

Shujue Duan Even if he wants to throw dirty water, how can he prove that he is an innocent white lotus?

When you think about it, Banquet Jinhua feels that he is as stable as an old dog this time, and he can completely lie down and win against Quan.

After all, it's incredibly difficult for a person to prove that they haven't done something.

He came out and fell to the ground in a heartbreaking manner, "Master, please tell me. It is true that out of a moment of kindness, I took in the injured Shujue Duan in private and violated the rules of Mount Jingxu. But Master always taught us to have good intentions and follow the way of heaven. Shujue Duan is a shark, also born between heaven and earth, has a heart and feelings, I saw him pitiful, so for no reason had extra compassion, but did not want to attract wolves into the house, actually, did not know he would have such a bold ......"

This explicitly derogatory but actually positive boast not only gives the feast Jinhua himself an aura of sainthood on the kilowatt, but also makes Shujue Duan's true identity directly known to the world.

Chiyunzi's face changed, and she slightly turned her head, closing her eyes without saying a word.

The crowd of disciples, on the other hand, simply exploded into camp.

...... sharks?

Shujue Duan is a shark?

Then what was his purpose for entering the mountain? Is he really a wolf with ambition?

From time to time, gossip reaches the ears of Xiaochi Chi.

He had already heard all kinds of rumors, no longer hard to hear will not take it to heart, only as they are doing self-introduction.

But he noticed that his right hand was unconsciously clenching, the tip of his thumb was gradually filling with blood.

...... these words, these discussions, Shujue Duan last life shrunk in the alchemy room, has heard enough.

And what happened next was a nightmare deep in his mind, causing him to return to his dreams at midnight, and when he woke up, he always had to be in a daze for a long time.

He was reborn in a new life, did he say he would face the same situation again? Will he have to kill Brother Ye again?

Instead of that, it would be better to ......

Xiaochi Chi does not move like a mountain.

He said to Shujue Duan, "Calm down."

Shujue Duan writes with his thumb on the side of his finger, "...... is."

Xiaochi Chi said, "Trust me."

After a while, he felt a lighter grip on his palm.

"If things can't be undone, then let them meet the mob Shujue Duan ." Xiaochi Chi knelt steadily in place, "For now, I'll let Feast Jinhua meet the unruly Xiaochi Chi ."

He raised his head and looked calmly at the people on stage.

He had already informed Chiyunzi of his identity, so it did not come as a shock that the elders on stage already knew Shujue Duan's identity as a shark.

On the other hand, Banquet Jinhua was still talking like a river, his tongue was full of words, and he was silently slapping him with one big hat after another: " Shujue Duan was raised by me in Fish Light Pool, benefited by Mount Jingxu, and taught by Master Wen, but he did not think of returning the favor and did not respect his master! A few days ago, I was first wronged and humiliated for no reason; then a thunderbolt fell from the sky on Hui-Shou Peak, perhaps it was a warning from the heavens ......"

Xiaochi Chi quietly listened to him finish his fart.

Can put a cheek a thousand times to so thick, you Piniang is really a talent.

When he finished, Shujue Duan bowed respectfully and then tilted his head to look straight at Yan Jinhua and said calmly, "Yes. A few months before the sword meeting began, Brother Yan saved Duan from the fire and water, and was a great benefactor to Duan. I will never forget this kindness."

...... This is a gentle tone of voice, but the banquet Jinhua inexplicably goose bumps.

It's an illusion, right?

Shujue Duan suddenly met with a change, and was directly put on the Ming Yue House imprisonment, there is no one to give him ideas, there is no time to destroy the evidence, no one can give him proof, just by his that wooden head, how to turn the tide?

The banquet Jinhua heart has a number, the mouth will be tough: "Yes, you should have done so, I also taught you so, but you really did it? Have you taken it to heart?"

...... I'll go you rolly-poly.

Xiaochi Chi stopped answering his words and looked at Chiyunzi: "Since Brother Yan has testified against me, you must have already presented all the evidence to Master?"

Chiyunzi nodded slightly to show his acquiescence.

Xiaochi Chi nodded: "This is a public trial, in front of all the senior brothers, can these be handed over to Shu Jie, so that Shu Jie can look at one or two, or defend themselves."

Feast Jinhua would like to say argue your head argue, pull out and cut, but unfortunately this place he can not do the main, foxes and tigers too much, it will be very like some books those brainless jumping villains.

He is going to be a pushy villain since.

So he was ready to make a request for Shujue Duan: "Please ask the master to produce physical evidence so that this son can willingly confess his guilt and prove that what I have said is true."

Chiyunzi then asked Yun Su, who was beside him, to bring the snake scales and molts attached to the evil energy to Shujue Duan.

In public, countless pairs of eyes watching, do not have to worry about him to make any mystery, to do any trick.

Feast Jinhua even hope that Shujue Duan IQ suddenly go negative, to do a silly mother of the protagonist should do behavior, such as to avoid involving the best friend Jiming Ye, immediately destroy these things and so on.

However, while he was thinking about it, Shujue Duan put down his things and said warmly, "I have already watched it, thank you, Master."

Feast Jinhua disappointed.

...... fuck.

Xiaochi Chi knelt again and turned to Tingfeng Ren: "May I ask you, Uncle Ren, how old was the viper you saw that day?"

Tingfeng Ren did not need to think back, opened his mouth and said: "All demons, looks are not enough to believe. But he has a strong demon breath and not enough human breath, so I'm afraid he has less than two years to become an adult; if we talk about the age of the snake, the viper has a spirit and is always nourished by the heavenly path, so if he has a great talent and his ignorance is opened early, he may be able to take human form when he is a normal person and a crown."

Chiyunzi heard the words, his mind moved slightly, as if in thought.

"Master has probably checked, these snake molts and scales do have the aura of a viper, and it is the same as the viper that appeared in Butterfly Valley that day." Xiaochi Chi's attitude was extremely gentle, "But have you ever identified the age of these snake scales and snake molts?"

Upon hearing this, Chiyunzi immediately asked Yun Su to retrieve the snake's shed and scales and study them in detail.

Tingfeng Ren was only concerned about distinguishing the scent earlier, but did not observe this object specifically. With a word of advice, he looked at it again and immediately noticed that something was wrong: "Are these ...... the scales and molts of young vipers?"

...... young viper?

Jinhua's mind spun around a few times, unable to digest what this judgment meant.

He had the impression that Jiming Ye was always a small snake, the size of a tray of mosquito coils, so when he scoured the Fish Light Pool and found small pieces of scales and thin, transparent molts, he did not suspect it, but he did not know that Jiming Ye only used to wrap itself around Shujue Duan's arm and play with him, so it often remained small.

Whenever the scales molt, he will be hidden in the forest, a little rubbing the tree molting skin, afraid to scare the fish fried scales, the future are not the same as he played.

But underneath, the disciples who are a little faster in the head have already understood, and quietly tell their guesses with the people around them.

Chiyunzi exchanged a few glances with several others, and with a clear mind, he turned to scold Feast Jinhua: "Kneel down!"

Jinhua, feeling inexplicable, said, "...Master?"

"What is your explanation?" Chiyunzi threw the snake scales and molts in front of his eyes and asked in a cold voice, "All you found in Fish Light Pool were the molts of young vipers, but Shujue Duan had only been in Mount Jingxu for a few months before the sword meeting. Tell me how he colluded with a viper that had been living in Fish Light Pool for a long time."

Feast Jinhua's face changed dramatically, and he turned his head to Shujue Duan, and his words came to his mind.

"I knew him from the old days."

"Met at Mount Jingxu, Fish Light Pool."

"Sword meeting began several months ago, the feast brother to save Duan in the fire, in Duan have great kindness and virtue ......"

From the very beginning, he was intentionally or unintentionally setting himself up!

Step by step, he induced himself to admit that he had taken Shujue Duan in a few months ago, but the snake molts he handed over were left by young vipers between 8 and 10 years old.

Isn't this a step in the right direction, suggesting that collusion with Jiming Ye is more likely than not?

But he simply can't deny the hole Shujue Duan dug for him before now, or it would be even more indefensible.

He adopted the shark and the black snake early, what does he intend to do?

Why did he lie earlier?

How did he find the injured young shark? If one by one real - gun investigation, will not be traced back to when he secretly tipped off to the demon hunt to kill Shujue Duan parents of the matter?

The head of the feast Jinhua instantly swelled up several times, and kneeled down in a panic, hurriedly defending: "Master, all the uncles! There must be some misunderstanding, the snake scales and molts I found are only part of it, there must be others in Fish Light Pool ......"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw Chiyunzi's even darker face, and Feast Jinhua realized that something was wrong, and he wanted to slap himself in the face.

We have already found the juvenile snake shed, which proves that Jiming Ye was already hidden in Mount Jingxu, so what is the point of finding a bigger one?

Feast Jinhua's heart was astonished and his face was blue: "Master! This must be Shujue Duan's intention to slander me! I have never seen this vicious snake before! Perhaps the snake has dived into the Fish Light Pool to scout for him! I don't know, I really don't know at all! Or ...... or this snake scale was deliberately left by Shujue Duan to frame me ......"

Xiaochi Chi's eyes lowered.

This is a correct guess, to add ten points to the IQ, the current score of minus fifty, a lot of room for improvement.

Before leaving Fish Light Pool, Xiaochi Chi searched the entire Fish Light Pool after Shujue Duan had fallen asleep from exhaustion, sweeping the entire pool inside and out, collecting and destroying all the snake scales and molts that Jiming Ye had shed since he was 10 years old, leaving only those under 10 years old.

In this way, he planted a buckle for himself to unlock the game and opened the door to a dead game for Feast Jinhua.

And the feast Jinhua lived up to the expectations, a plunge in, but also think they have a big opportunity, happy to hold to report.

The so-called demolition of lies, just let his complete system of lies in a trace of unexplained vulnerability, the next, is the destruction of the whole situation collapsed.

Xiaochi Chi said, "Senior Brother Banquet, dare I ask, when did you find this object?"

The whole set of rhetoric originally prepared by the banquet Jinhua was completely overturned, as if preparing for the final exam all night long, only to find themselves reviewing the wrong book, panic to the extreme, open mouth and said: "It was after that day with Uncle Wen competition! I see you wear that snake tooth necklace from time to time, heart suspicious, so I went to question ......"

Chiyunzi's eyes have gone cold: "Feast Jinhua, that's not what you said at first. When you told me, you said that you found the snake scales, and only then went to Hồ Shou Feng to question Shu Jie."

Feast Jinhua a face has turned from iron blue to pig liver color: "disciple, disciple exactly this intention. As the master said, I found snake scales and became suspicious in my heart, so ......"

Xiaochi Chi interrupted him, "Senior Brother Banquet, Senior Brother still has a question to ask, may I?"

Feast Jinhua was eager to pounce on him and stuff his mouth with socks.

Xiaochi Chi does not care about his eyes that want to kill, slowly and methodically said: "Dare to ask, Butterfly Valley to remove the vicious that day, brother feast in the Mo Xie formation, with which brother?"

Feast Jinhua was about to vomit blood.

He was able to understand, Shujue Duan this person is not good, the so-called kill the heart, but so!

Tingfeng Ren was the first to shake his head, and then swept through the disciples who were there that day one by one.

Feast Jinhua Ben is not what out of the challenge force, lost in the formation is also very normal, as long as you ensure that they do not die, so he is in and out, and not for all the disciples concerned.

But now the sight exchange, only to know that he was alone in the formation disappeared for a long time.

Feast Jinhua, who was dismantled by Xiaochi Chi, was almost screaming: "Shujue Duan!"

Diao Min Xiaochi Chi had a gentle and respectful face: "What is the matter with calling senior brother?"

Banquet Jinhua forced himself to say: "I just got separated, you traveled with Master Wen, Master Wen disappeared, and you are still holding the blood robe in your hand, how are you going to explain!"

Xiaochi Chi said, "Master did disappear for no reason. For what reason, I really don't know. But I firmly believe that with Master's ability, he will return."

Feast Jinhua seems to have seen the light of day.

Put in the modern PR, Shujue Duan this move is not the so-called sinking, and then the implementation of the word drag, want to buy more time.

Feast Jinhua also did not care about the low or low and forced or forced, painfully, kowtowed like garlic and said: "Master! Shujue Duan's words are not credible! The shark is not human, extremely cunning, he only wants to make master and uncle misunderstand me, and then use fancy words to trick master and uncle to relax their vigilance, once the plan is achieved, he will certainly take advantage of the opportunity to escape! Please be clear about this, and clear my name!"

The disciples looked at each other.

Right now, the situation has developed into a headless public case in which the public say that the public - justified, and the public say that the public - justified.

But this is the best Xiaochi Chi can do on his own.

Chiyunzi will not be tried without a fight, and may even be detained along with Jinhua.

How could Jinhua not think of that?

And at this critical moment, he did not want to be dragged down to the water, he broke out a full desire to live, an analysis as fierce as a tiger: "Wen master uncle weapon lost, life and death is unknown, this is the focus of this case, is not it! Shujue Duan first said the matter of the viper, diverting the topic, and said that the disciple that day to travel alone, is not trying to do everything possible to get rid of the crime of teachericide!"

He turned to Xiaochi Chi and said sternly, "You are sharp-tongued, tell me instead, where did Master Wen go!"

"...... Well, that's a good question."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a frail but still clear voice came from the crowd.

This sound is too familiar, the five rulers on stage suddenly look shocked, have got up, to look at the crowd between.

Xiaochi Chi, who had planned to have a few words with Feast Jinhua and wait for the adjournment, suddenly turned white and his back straightened, not even daring to turn his head back for a while.

And in the steep silence of the Phoenix Platform, Yujing Wen, dressed in white, holding a wooden box, slowly stepped along the jade steps from the bottom to the top.

A few short days, he was thin and pale a lot, long hair just a simple bundle, white clothes win snow, dotted with red, but people do not win light clothes, it seems that at any time will be scattered into the wind. A horrible bright red whip marks from the scattered front lapel climbing up his neck, all the way to the cheeks above, lips white, the corners of the eyes slightly red.

His usual cool and reserved aura was reduced a bit, and his tone had more mockery: "Senior nephew Yan, how about explaining it properly to all the senior brothers?"

After the words, he threw the wooden box in his hand to the ground.

A head emitting strong demonic aura rolled out of the broken box with bones, and met with Feast Jinhua face to face.

Feast Jinhua was appalled by several jumps in a few seconds, and is now limp, shushing and panting, unable to even pronounce a syllable.

He easily came back to his senses and inwardly screamed wildly, "The system! The system! What's going on here?!"

There was a silence.

Feast Jinhua : "...... system?"

When did the system ...... start to have no sound anymore?

Why is the warehouse grayed out? Why can't I click on it?

Why?

And in the feast Jinhua frightened, a wisp of transparent energy from half a day ago quietly accompanying Xiaochi Chi behind the lips, silent gentle smile, and then gradually dissipated into nothing.
