The news brought by Qin Muzhi made Qin Yunchuan, who had just given up the idea, become nervous again. He refused to listen to others' dissuasion and had to return to Jiuhua Sect.
Seeing that Mu Jingyu and others could not persuade Qin Yunchuan no matter what, Qin Muzhi said with a cold face: "Qin Yunchuan, now the various factions have mobilized their manpower to go to Jiuhua Mountain. On the way from my Qin Mansion to Jiuhua Mountain, I don’t know how many forces there are. If you show up rashly, not to mention whether you can return to the master smoothly, you may also expose your traces and lead them here! By then, all the people who were supposed to go to Jiuhua Mountain will be lured by you. Coming here, isn’t it just a matter of frightening the wood and killing the snake?”
For some reason, Qin Muzhi's momentum completely suppressed Qin Yunchuan. The latter was so scolded that he looked dull and did not dare to speak for a long time.
Everyone didn't know the reason, but Mu Jingyu knew it very well and quickly took the opportunity to say: "Old Patriarch Qin has thought carefully! Brother Qin, you should listen to our advice. Let's give up and return to the master for the time being. I believe that Grandpa Master and the others will After learning the details from Master Cangmen, I will definitely hold Master Shangguan Palace back. I hope you... I hope you can temporarily put aside your past grudges and put the overall situation first!"
At this time, Qin Yunchuan was in a state of confusion. He was not, as everyone thought, just worried about the safety of Jiuhua Mountain. The reality is... Well, in fact, after he came to the Qin Mansion last time, he had already seen from the portrait hanging in the uninhabited room and the two poems inscribed on it that the person signed Qin Yun and Shen Xiaozhu are his biological parents!
And there is no doubt that he is a descendant of the Qin family! This Qin Muzhi must be Qin Yun's father and his own grandfather!
If it were someone else who suddenly discovered their relative, wouldn’t they recognize each other immediately? However, Qin Yunchuan was brought up by his mother and became an orphan when he was six years old.
His biological mother, Shen Xiaozhu, taught his father to abandon his wife and children since he was a child. The Qin family also cruelly kicked the two of them out of the house. How could he not feel resentful in his heart!
That's why he changed his attitude towards Qin Muzhi. And when I returned to the Qin Mansion this time, I felt extremely conflicted, and even didn't want to stay for a moment longer.
It's just that his childhood experience hurt Qin Yunchuan so deeply that it became an indelible scar, so he didn't want to say it.
However, the more he didn't want to say anything, the more people misunderstood him. Only Mu Jingyu noticed the clues and kept hinting to Qin Yunchuan with words not to put everyone in trouble because of his own affairs.
"Hey..." Qin Yunchuan looked up to the sky and sighed, knowing that Mu Jingyu was right. Although his own hatred was important, the safety of everyone was far more important than his own. In the end, apart from reluctantly agreeing, I could only endure it silently.
Seeing that Qin Yunchuan finally settled down, the Tiger King quickly said: "Master Qin, I don't know what is going on outside. Can your disciples of the Qin family find out clearly? Let's discuss countermeasures and see what to do next. After all, Tianyang Zhenren can It's hard to say how long we can hold them back, if anyone thinks that we are in the Qin Mansion, things will be difficult to deal with."
In addition, the relationship between Qin Yunchuan and the Qin family was not as Mu Jingyu thought, and only a limited number of people knew about it.
When Master Taier made the plan and drew Qin Muzhi over, he already knew the relationship between Qin Yunchuan and Qin Muzhi, the head of the Qin family. It is precisely because of this that he can be included in the second link of the plan and become a key chess piece.
"Huh? Oh, King Tiger is asking about the situation outside?" Qin Muzhi naturally felt uncomfortable seeing Qin Yunchuan's sad expression. I wanted to tell the truth about that year, but I knew it wasn’t time yet. I was reminded by Tiger King and quickly adjusted my mentality.
"According to the news that I, the son of the Qin family, heard, the three sects of Jinxiu Palace, Lingxiao Pavilion, and Lei Gongbao were furious after losing our traces. They immediately dispersed their disciples to search, but they met Cang Wu and his disciples fleeing towards Jiuhua Mountain. , thinking that you are also going to Jiuhua Mountain. Immediately send disciples to inform the other sects of Zhengdao to make an appointment to go to Jiuhua Mountain and force Master Tianyang to hand over Little Brother Mu."
After talking about the situation of the three sects of Jinxiu Palace, Qin Muzhi went on to describe the situation of Wujixu, Yunjia, Wuzhuangguan and Guiyun Villa in the past two days, as well as other righteous paths such as Lingjue Temple, Yukun Palace and Mount Emei. I told him about Pai’s situation.
From Qin Muzhi's mouth, we learned that the troops on Master Tongxuan's side were not as active as expected. They only sent out disciples with low status from each sect to lead the team, which was regarded as responding to Shangguan Xixi's call.
Master Tongxuan's reaction was completely beyond everyone's expectations. According to his thoughts, he must take advantage of this opportunity to stir up conflicts between the other factions and the Jiuhua faction. How could he be so uninterested and act like it had nothing to do with him?
In fact, how could they have imagined that Han Yao had long known the true identity of the two old men in black, and had secretly told Master Tongxuan through Han Songqing.
Therefore, after receiving the news, Master Tongxuan seemed not too concerned. But secretly, they dispatched people to find out the true identities of Qingniu Jing and Long Tianxiao.
As for Lingjue Temple, Elder Liowu attached great importance to it. Not only did he set off to Jiuhua Mountain in person, he also tried his best to persuade Qinglian, the headmaster of Yukun Palace, and Master Wuming, the head of Emei Sect, to follow him to Jiuhua Mountain. group.
Logically speaking, as the leader of the righteous path, Elder Liowu should do this after hearing the news about the man in black. But after learning from the Tiger King that Elder Wu might be an old man with a ghost face and black clothes, his movements became intriguing.
But what made them even more confused was that after Master Wuming agreed to go, Qinglian Headmaster of Jade Kun Palace found a reason to refuse, and only sent Jiulian Venerable Xi Yangzi, who was second only to him, alone. Go to.
Everyone was puzzled by Master Qinglian's actions, and they all speculated on his purpose of doing so. Only Mu Jingyu suddenly thought that when he was wrongly accused by Master Wu Ming and imprisoned in Jiuhua Sect, he was intercepted by Xi Yangzi and told him the origins of Yukun Palace and Chi You, and also told him the rumors about Yukun Palace The four-word motto comes down.
It is said that Yukun Palace has long had a commandment not to interfere in the disputes between the nine states. Therefore, Headmaster Qinglian’s move is more reasonable.
After Qin Muzhi finished speaking, everyone started talking. But no matter what solution they come up with, it seems that they can't get rid of the current predicament perfectly.
But what Mu Jingyu and Qin Yunchuan didn't know was that they really couldn't think of a solution, and the four of them, Tiger King, Qingniu Jing, Long Tianxiao and Qin Muzhi, deliberately led them to have no solution.
Because these juniors are not firmly trapped in the Qin Mansion, the second step of the plan will be difficult to implement.
Mu Jingyu thought about it and finally said helplessly: "It seems that the only way to take the risk is to contact Master Taier and tell him everything that happened in Zhongming Mountain. Then ask him to find the master of Shangguan Palace in person. Explain the identities of Grandpa Niu and Elder Long. I hope this... I hope this can gain the trust of the three masters and relieve the crisis between the master and me."
The Green Bull Spirits and others looked at each other and nodded secretly at the same time. In fact, they were at a loss as to what to do next after completing the second step of the plan. It happened that Mu Jingyu suggested it, and it happened to go smoothly. Of course, they nodded in agreement.
Now that he had a countermeasure, Qin Yunchuan took Zhou Yan and left first, leaving behind Mu Jingyu with a wry smile on his face, and several people who seemed to not know the truth.
In the next two days, everyone waited at Qin Mansion with peace of mind. On the one hand, they were preventing the news about them in the Qin Mansion from being leaked, and on the other hand, they were also paying attention to Jiuhua Mountain.
Of course, the most important thing is to look forward to the reply from Master Taier. Mu Jingyu, in particular, seemed worried, fearing that Master Taier would not believe him. In this case, not only will his whereabouts be exposed, but Tai Er Zhenren will also attract the righteous sects.
In the midst of anxiety, two days passed quickly, and the disciples of the Qin family finally brought back the news about Master Taier.
From the autographed letter written by Master Taier, Mu Jingyu first saw that he was surprised by the identities of Qingniu Jing and Long Tianxiao. But before investigating clearly, he still chose to believe Mu Jingyu.
Then, at Mu Jingyu's request, he went to find Shangguan Xixi in person, hoping to make her look on his face, temporarily extinguish his anger, and persuade the various factions not to embarrass the Jiuhua faction until he found out the truth.
At the end of the letter, Master Taier told Mu Jingyu to continue to stay in the Qin Mansion and not to show up at will. To avoid further mishaps before the matter is cleared up.
Mu Jingyu was extremely touched that Master Taier could believe in him, because he knew the status of drunkards and medical immortals among the many casual cultivators in Kyushu, and how much risk Master Taier had to take if he could withstand the pressure and choose to believe in himself.
Because once other casual cultivators know about it, or if they find out to the end that things are not as Mu Jingyu said, and there is no trace of Qingniu Jing and Longtian Clover, what kind of situation will Master Taier face.
As for whether he told Mu Jingyu not to show up at the end of the letter, he could understand it. After all, Master Tongxuan, the Han family and others have not yet dead plans to deal with him. In addition, North Pluto and Elder Wu, who may be the old man in black, once his traces are exposed and Taier Zhenren fails to find evidence, God knows what unexpected things will happen.
But what Mu Jingyu didn't know was that all this had been planned by Master Taier and Shangguan Xixi. The reason why he agreed to Mu Jingyu's investigation was just to stabilize Mu Jingyu.
After closing the reply from Master Taier, Mu Jingyu temporarily let go of one thing on his mind. However, the situation at Qin Yunchuan made Mu Jingyu feel worried again.
Although he no longer insisted on leaving Qin Mansion after everyone's persuasion. But he locked himself in his room all day long, seemingly refining elixirs with agape picked from the void space of Zhongming Mountain. In fact, Mu Jingyu knew very well that he was trying to avoid contact with Qin Muzhi and the Qin family. Lest you only increase your resentment.
During this period, Mu Jingyu also went to Qin Yunchuan several times, wanting to talk to him about his concerns and see if he could help him resolve his knot. The worst thing could be to prevent him from having too much hatred towards Qin Muzhi, but every time he would find a reason to block the door, saying that he didn't want to meet her.
Although Mu Jingyu understood Qin Yunchuan's current mood, being rejected over and over again made him a little dissatisfied with Qin Yunchuan. I feel that I and him are worthy of each other as brothers. No matter how much suffering there is, shouldn't brothers be honest with each other?
But anger is still anger, and Mu Jingyu saw that there was no need to worry about Jiuhua Mountain for the time being. In the dead of night, as I was lying on the bed, turning left and right, I felt that I should have a few words with Qin Yunchuan. Because failing to resolve the anger in his heart is not a long-term solution.
Who made Qin Yunchuan and him feel like brothers? Qin Muzhi came from the same sect as his master and was taken into the same sect by a drunkard. Mu Jingyu couldn't feel at ease if he couldn't resolve the hatred between the two.
After making up his mind, Mu Jingyu quietly went out under the moonlight and found that everyone except the patrolling disciples of the Qin family had fallen asleep.
While nodding to the patrolling Qin family disciples, he used the moonlight to find Qin Yunchuan's room. After knocking several times but getting no response from Qin Yunchuan, Mu Jingyu pushed the door open and found that the whole room was empty and there was no sign of Qin Yunchuan and others.
After thinking for a moment, Mu Jingyu suddenly thought, would Qin Yunchuan, who couldn't sleep, go to the room where the portraits of his parents were hung?
The more Mu Jingyu thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct. After turning over and closing the door, he went to the backyard of the Qin Mansion according to his memory.
But in the backyard of the Qin Mansion, the surroundings seemed unusually quiet, with no Qin family disciples even patrolling. However, Mu Jingyu still noticed a slight breathing sound from that room. After listening carefully for a moment, he confirmed that it was Qin Yunchuan's breath.
