In the main hall, this man stands with his hands in the snow, his silk is like clouds, and his sleeves reach the ground. He looks dignified and discreet, but his eyes are slightly raised, his eyelashes are slightly drooping, and he is polite with a touch of contempt and a touch of arrogance.

Li Wuxin didn't expect Elder Yu Heng to be him, and he suddenly turned pale with horror: "Chu, Chu"

Chu Wanning said peacefully, "Master Li, how are you?"

"We thought you were on a trip to the sea, but you've gone back to your home. "

Chu Wanning snickered, his eyes quite cold: "I'm flattered that you think I'm a jewel."

""

"Well, there is no need for small talk, but let's get down to business. I heard that you thought I had killed 500 families in Butterfly Town to practice my evil arts. I did not do this, but since Master Li has come a long way, he must have misunderstood. I have some important business to attend to, so I will not accompany you to Tianyin Pavilion, so if you have any questions, please ask them here."

With a wave of his sleeve, he took his own seat at the elders' table. Chu Wanning's seat, to the left of Xue Zhengyong, is covered with a thin gabion bamboo mat and draped with a half-rolled bamboo curtain, which is far too modest compared to the fancy, freshly flowered seats of the Lu Cun elders next to him.

Over the years Chu Wanning has kept a low profile, though not anonymity, so the juniors at Jade Lake Villa have heard of him but have no idea how powerful he really is. But Li Wuxin was different. He had been in the jungle for many years, so he had no idea of Yu Heng's reputation at night.

His fist clenched in his sleeve, his afterimage swept inexorably towards the Changing Prince.

If I hadn't received ten thousand taels of money from the Chang family, I wouldn't have had to take on this difficult job. I thought Elder Yu Heng at the top of death and life was just an unknown monk, but who knew it would be Chu Wanning who had not been seen for a long time?

If I knew it was him, I wouldn't have come into this mess if I had been offered more favours, but now I can't move forward or retreat, and I'm in a difficult position.

Li Wuxin's face is unchanged, but his heart is in agony.

He thought that Elder Yu Heng was being unreasonable, so he was at a loss as to how to respond.

Chu Wanning lifted his eyes and gave him a look, "Not bad."

"So, the ghostly bride, too, is an evil that you have subdued."

"You are talking about Luo Xianxian."

"He only knew that Butterfly Town's evil ghost was a ghost bride, but he didn't know much more, so when Chu Wanning asked him a question in return, he couldn't answer it. How many brides can there be in a town who have died unjustly?"

Chu Wanning laughed coldly: "Butterfly Town has a hundred or fifty ghost brides as a common practice for underworld marriages, and I really don't know which one you are talking about."

"You."

"What are you and I, no rules. The rebellious disciple will not stand down"

After reprimanding his disciple, Li Wuxin changed his face to a pleasant one and said to Chu Wanning, "Master Chu, this is my disciple's first trip to the mountain and he does not know the rules, so don't take offence. The ghostly bride he is talking about is indeed Luo Xianxian."

Chu Wanning frowned slightly: " Luo Xianxian's iniquitous spirit has gone berserk"

"Yes." Li Wuxin sighed, "That female ghost lost her mind and killed the entire Chen family, and then slaughtered them all in the town. By the time I led my disciples to suppress it, there were almost no living people left in Butterfly Town."

Chu Wanning murmured, "How could this be?"

"I heard that the person who was involved in this matter was Elder Yu Heng of the Peak of Death and Life, and that something was wrong, so I came to my door. In addition, in Butterfly Town, I got two other things. Master Chu, I hope you will take a closer look and see if they are related to you."

As he spoke, he first took a bloodstained piece of yellow silk from his sleeve and tried to hand it to Chu Wanning.

Xue Meng stopped her in front of her and said, "Give it to me".

"This."

"My master has a cleanliness problem, he doesn't like to touch things that outsiders have touched."

Xue Meng is exaggerating. In fact, Chu Wanning is only reluctant to touch things that have been touched by people he hates, he is not really a clean person. However, Chu Wanning already had a dislike for Li Wuxin, so he allowed Xue Meng to make a fool of himself and did not say much, only looking down and taking a sip of the hot tea offered by Shi Mei.

Li Wuxin held his anger, but there was nothing he could do but sneer and hand the yellow silk to Xue Meng.

By candlelight, in full view of all.

Chu Wanning shakes open the silk and, after just one glance, his face changes.

"The Sending Spell"

"Exactly so. Master Chu, as far as I can find out, you temporarily sealed the spirit of Luo Xianxian, and before you left, you gave a copy of the spell to the only daughter of the Chen family and asked them to recite it every day for ten years, yes or no."

"Nice."

"Then this spell of deliverance is in the handwriting of Master Chu, is it not?"

"Indeed."

"But Master Chu, this copy of your sending spell has an extra spell seal at the end of each chapter, what does that mean that you don't understand?" Li Wuxin's voice rose abruptly.

"Every time the Chen family copied the spell, they would draw a counter-spell, turning it into a spell of harm, causing the seal to break, the Luo Xianxian spirits to rage, and no one in the Chen family knew how to do it, except Elder Yu Heng, who handed the silk to them. I cannot think of anyone else who could teach them to draw such a powerful spell"

"If my master wanted to kill them, why would he have to go through such a big detour? What kind of positive and negative incantation can't the handwriting be imitated? "

Li Wuxin said with a smile on his face, " Mr. Xue Meng, why are you interrupting when the elders are talking?"

Xue Zhengyong spoke up, "Master Li, you are biased to say that Yu Heng was responsible for this on the basis of a single piece of silk. My son is right, the handwriting can be imitated, so if someone wants to frame Yu Heng and draw his runes a few times, it will look very similar."

"Then one must ask where Master Chu has such an arch-enemy who has taken such great pains to harm him."

Mo Ran, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly laughed twice.

Li Wuxin looked over at him and frowned at the vulgarity of his pestle and mortar comment, "What are you laughing at again?"

"I'm laughing at you guys for discussing this half-heartedly but forgetting one thing ah."

Xue Zhengyong wondered, "What is it, Mo Ran? What did you have in mind?"

"I don't read much, but I happen to know a bit about the Wantao Echo, and I happen to know how to draw it." Mo Ran laughed, "Here, look, guys, isn't this one."

As he said that, he condensed a glowing red spiritual energy on his fingertips, idly leaning against the pillar, smearing it in the air, and in a short while, a subtle and exquisite incantation of Ten Thousand Waves was reflected in mid-air, as beautiful as a firework.

Xue Meng said in amazement, "Great dog, when did you learn that?"

Mo Ran laughed, "It's in the Master's book, I thought it was funny and wrote it down."

With that said, he casually nudged the bright red sigil, causing it to slowly rise high into the air above the heads of the crowd. The red echoes shimmered in a misty way, overflowing with bits of broken light.

"Well, why don't you go and compare them and see if this symbol I have drawn, and the one on the silk, and also the structure of the strokes, are all exactly the same."

Seeing Chu Wanning's expressionless face as he tossed the silk on the table, apparently in acquiescence to Mo Ran's actions, the disciples at the Top of Death and Life immediately rushed over and formed a circle to examine it.

The people at Jade Lake Villa, who were at first tense, then couldn't help but be curious or prickly, also gathered around to look.

So many people looked around in disbelief and finally came to a conclusion.

Mo Ran's drawing, which is identical to the spell on the silk, is almost the work of one man.

The Li Wuxin fool spoke up again, pointing at Mo Ran and exclaiming, "Well, well, well, well.

Mo Ran :""

Chu Wanning suddenly said indifferently, "What is your name, little brother?"

"Well, you ask me," the foolish disciple froze, then held his head high and said proudly, "The thirteenth disciple of Heartless Sitting, Zhen Murmuring."

Mo Ran: "Pfft."

Chu Wanning, for his part, was lukewarm in his response to "really smart" - after all, he had a name for himself, "Scared to death" - and simply said indifferently, "When the elders are talking, the younger ones need to learn to shut up. "

Li Wuxin's face turned pig's liver as he heard this, and he was so annoyed that there was nothing he could do about it, except to say, "Master Chu's disciples are really heroes. He has drawn the spell like a master."

"Master Li, it's not just me, if you know how to draw this charm, it must be the same as the one my master drew."

Li Wuxin glared at Mo Ran: "What do you mean by that?"

Mo Ran laughed, "The ten thousand waves, the intricate brushwork, the depth of force, the intensity of the ink, all cannot differ by half a day. So whoever draws it will be indistinguishable from the originator. It has nothing to do with the handwriting at all. If the drawing is even slightly different, this counter-curse will not even take effect."

"Li Wuxin was so angry at being told off in public by a young man that his beard blew in all directions, "Which spell in the world would require such a tricky spell? "

"He didn't start the rumours."

Li Wuxin was already somewhat subdued at this point and said angrily, " Chu Wanning, how can you know the weaknesses of a spell when you say you have no proof?

Chu Wanning lifted his eyes, looked at him without expression and took another sip of tea before speaking slowly.

"Why don't you dare. I'll tell you now."

Li Wuxin :""

"The Ten Thousand Waves Returning Spell, which I created."

Li Wuxin :""
