"So, you also think that Sun Quan was the one who destroyed the family?" Little Tini asked Diao Chan.
Diao Chan shook her head,
"I know Sun Quan, and this is not his style. It's not that Sun Quan is merciful, but he has always been obsessed with subduing others without fighting. I don't think he would give such an order." Diao Chan said.
Little Tini looked at Diao Chan and questioned,
"However, Lu Meng, Pan Zhang, Ma Chao, Zhou Tai, and finally Wei Yan are all closely linked. These people all act according to Sun Quan's orders. Why does the first link have nothing to do with Sun Quan?"
"I have a guess." Diao Chan said in a deep voice, "The assassination of Guan Yu was done by Sun Quan. The annihilation of the family was done by Sun Ce!"
Little Tini glanced at Diao Chan,
"Are you leaving Sun Quan too clear?"
Diao Chan shook her head,
"I have no selfish intentions, because it doesn't really make any difference whether it's Sun Quan or Sun Ce."
"Yeah, there's no difference." Little Tini sighed.
The difficulty in this matter is not to find the truth, but to give an explanation to the dead. Even if it is true as Diao Chan said, it has nothing to do with Sun Quan, so what? Is it possible that Sun Quan will not protect his eldest brother?
This is why Xiao Tini gave priority to catching Sun Jian. But, what about after capturing Sun Jian? Tiny looked at the stars. Exchange Sun Jian for the real murderer, avenge the dead outer disciples, and fight the Sun family forever?
Little Tini is not afraid of making this kind of decision, but how can Cihang Jingzhai stay away from the world?
??????
A few days later, Jiaozhou,
Sun Quan and his party were unable to find any trace of Sun Jian.
"I think the top priority is to find the local governor to conduct a large-scale search. We have too few people." Sun Quan suggested.
To be honest, Sun Quan was a little panicked. At first, he was really worried that his father would fall into the hands of Cihang Jingzhai. But when Sun Jian and his group disappeared, the first person who couldn't sit still was definitely Sun Quan.
"First of all, this matter is quite confidential and very few people know about it. Secondly, this place is extremely remote. We can basically rule out the possibility of third-party intervention." Little Tini analyzed calmly.
Sun Quan frowned,
"So it can only be the group of monks who changed direction?"
"It's hard to understand." Diao Chan shook her head and said. Diao Chan knew better than anyone that the group of Tianzhu monks had a problem. They had not even thought of taking a detour when someone blocked them, so what could make them change their direction?
"Is there a possibility?" Little Tini reminded, "Their destination was not Tianzhu in the first place."
Diao Chan was stunned and nodded slowly.
At first, Diao Chan was very confused about the direction of the Tianzhu monk. It was not until Sun Quan, with his advanced geographical knowledge, judged that Tianzhu could be reached by walking this way, did everyone acquiesce in this "fact". But, is this really true?
For a moment, Sun Quan couldn't help but become suspicious. Yes, the ascetics have the ability and reason to cross the primitive forest, but this does not mean that they have really crossed the primitive forest.
"The Tianzhu monks are not familiar with the roads of the Central Plains and do not understand the language. They may just follow a fixed route. They will follow the same route when they come here. They can only go the same way when they go back. If they go wrong, they may not be able to find the road. "Little Tini said, which also explained the reason why Monk Tianzhu was on his way.
Sun Quan frowned. If the above judgment is correct, then they did not find Sun Jian and his party further south. It can only be that the Tianzhu monk chose to go east or west after entering Jiaozhou.
Intellectually, Sun Quan tended to go west, because going all the way west, passing through the southern border, he would eventually be able to enter Tibet, and Buddhism was also inherited in Tibet. But the previous lessons reminded Sun Quan that his judgment beyond the times is likely to be divorced from reality and incorrect. So, heading east?
But if you go east, you will be close to the sea all the way, and you will end up in Jiangdong? Even more impossible.
Wait, Koto? Dark under the light?
Sun Quan's eyes flashed. Under his leadership, today's Jiangdong has become the new holy land of Buddhism in the Central Plains, and precisely because it is under the nose, it is often easier to be ignored!
The Yangtze River Basin is very sensitive and attracts attention, but if we make a big circle from Jiaozhou to Jingzhou and pass by this remote place with a vast land and sparse people, how many people will notice it?
"If you are unwilling to find the local governor, I suggest that we divide our troops into two groups, one to the west and one to the east, and pursue them at the same time." Sun Quan said immediately.
After saying that, he immediately used the "Let me think twice" skill once. In reality, it only took a second. Sun Quan left the illusion and continued,
"I am more inclined to pursue eastward, you can allocate manpower."
Sun Quan has been dealing with Cihang Jingzhai for a long time. If it were someone else, and the two parties were hostile, you would say go east and I would go west, because the enemy's words are most likely to be false. But Cihang Jingzhai is different. They can feel whether you really want to go east. In this regard, Sun Quan can't deceive Xiao Tini and Diao Chan.
Soon, Xiao Tini made an arrangement. Except for the two disciples who went east to pursue, the rest, including herself and Sun Quan, all went west!
Unexpected.
Sun Quan, who had experienced the illusion of thinking twice, was mentally prepared for this. Naturally, Sun Quan could accept this result, otherwise he would not go along with it.
All analyzes are not absolute. Sun Quan's pursuit to the west can prevent risks. Even if he is wrong, the Tianzhu monk went to the east. The east is close to the sea. There will always be an end. Sun Quan cannot escape the control of Jiangdong.
However, although Sun Quan accepted the result, Sun Quan was still puzzled as to why Little Tini made such an arrangement.
Of course, Sun Quan was not the only one who was confused.
In private, Diao Chan asked the same question.
"In the past, I never understood why the master wanted to seal the mountain and why he gave the Tao Heart to Sun Quan." Little Tini said, as if she was not answering Diao Chan's question, "Until this time, I waited for all the mechanisms to be exhausted. When Sun Quan was powerless, but Sun Jian was missing, I suddenly had a clear understanding in my heart."
"?"
"Some people have destiny." Little Tini sighed.
Diao Chan's face stiffened,
"I don't believe in fate!"
"But Master believed in it," said Little Tini. "She knew that destiny could not be violated, so she went with it."
"Do you believe that, Master?" Diao Chan looked at little Tini.
Little Tini nodded,
"I believe it too."
Diao Chan's eyes darkened and she was disheartened, but then she heard Little Tini continue to say,
"But I feel that cultivation is to go against heaven. If you want to transcend birth, old age, illness and death, then don't follow the flow of heaven."
Diao Chan regained her energy instantly,
"So, the owner of the restaurant went west on purpose?"
Seeing Diao Chan's happy look, Little Tini seemed to deliberately hit her and said,
"It seems that you haven't realized what going against the will of heaven means. This means that we may not be able to touch Sun Jian at all."
"ah?"
"Not only that, this trip to the west may also involve the risk of life and death." Little Tini said seriously.
