None of the sect leaders are fools. The only ones who can tamper with the spiritual fruit are the monks from the Aka tribe. But even the monks from the Aka tribe, how could he or they be so bold? Something going on underneath?
This is unreasonable.
Venerable Suizhen sent the guests away and sternly ordered the Taoist boy, "Call all the people who have touched the spiritual fruit over here!"
"yes!"
Seeing that the Venerable was so angry, the two Taoist boys trotted out and called over the fruit pickers, sorters, platers, table cleaners, and all the clansmen who could come into contact with the spiritual fruit before the banquet started.
Everyone lined up in the main hall, trembling with fear, not daring to look directly at Venerable Suizhen.
Venerable Suizhen glanced at them and frowned slightly, "Are there still missing people?"
The Taoist boy immediately replied, "Several people died in the turmoil, and one person was controlled by the evil source and has been locked up by you."
"Where's the concubine in charge of the warehouse?"
"Disciple, go look for it now!"
"I'm just here." Venerable Suizhen didn't have time to spare and sent three messages in a row to ask Fei Guan Tianjun to come see her, but the messages that flew away fell into the sea and there was no response.
The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly solemn, and everyone held their breath and lowered their heads, for fear of harming themselves.
Most of the spiritual fruits were picked one day in advance and placed in the warehouse. If you really want to count, Fei Guan Tianjun only has time to do anything.
The disappearance of Feiguan Tianjun seems to support this.
Feiguan Tianjun is the direct disciple of Venerable Suizhen. If it is really the murderous hand of Feiguan, where will the face of Venerable Suizhen and the Akha tribe be?
The Taoist boy carefully took a look at the gloomy-looking venerable, and handed it over to a step with great discernment, "It's impossible to say that someone has assassinated Feiguan Tianjun and took the opportunity to destroy the spiritual fruit banquet. Please be careful, venerable."
"It is my decree to search for the imperial concubine in the Chengxun realm, and reward the person who can bring her back." Venerable Suizhen looked at everyone, "You will also give a detailed account of your whereabouts in the past few days. There will be a reward for reporting anyone’s suspicious behavior.”
No one dares to disobey.
There is no news about the mastermind behind this turmoil in the Aka tribe, but at this juncture, Venerable Suizhen suddenly ordered the search for Feiguan Tianjun, leaving various sects to speculate.
"Would it be Feiguan Tianjun who did this?"
"The source of evil is so terrible that even the Venerable was tricked by his own disciples?"
By this time, voices from various forces began to implore the elders to investigate themselves, lest they raise a bad wolf without realizing it.
But some opponents said, "It is absolutely inappropriate to check the disciples' mood and temperament. Firstly, it will violate the privacy of the disciples. Secondly, it will increase panic and shake the foundation of the monastery."
Not to mention the sect, when King Feng Sheng mentioned the self-examination at the court meeting, the situation exploded, and several important ministers stood up to persuade him to think twice.
"The cohesion of the dynasty is not as strong as that of the sect. If we want to self-examine, all the monks will think that the source of evil has actually appeared in the territory, and they are afraid that they will leave in order to avoid disaster!"
"There is no evil source to tempt them, and there are quite a few people who have flaws in their character in the Dao realm. So what if we check them out? Are we going to arrest all the monks with bad character?"
"Monks are not sages who have no desires and desires. It is inevitable to have evil thoughts. You can't just beat them to death with a stick, right?"
"Who can tell which evil thoughts are caused by evil sources and which evil thoughts are born by oneself?"
King Feng Sheng had a headache. The most obvious and difficult to hide characteristic of those affected by evil sources is that they have mental problems. But for monks, mental problems are the most private. If they are forced to test their mental state, they will indeed accumulate their feelings for the dynasty. Feelings of dissatisfaction.
"In this way, we will ignore those who have flaws in their Taoist hearts and dig out the monks who have a trace of the Qi that is involved in creating the source of evil hidden in their bodies."
"As soon as the source of evil enters the body, it will be entangled with the soul. Then the condition of the soul must be tested. How can the soul be such a private existence that can be checked by others casually."
"That's right. If the soul is really controlled by an evil source, how could he be happy to do the test? It would be too late to escape."
King Feng Sheng squinted his eyes, patted the beast's head on the armrest and said, "Okay, okay, I can't control those casual cultivators and aristocratic clans. I can always take care of you ministers. From today on, set up a test for Taoist state of mind at the entrance of the palace. For those who have serious flaws, their souls will be tested again to find out whether they are possessed by an evil source!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice about this."
"I don't want to think about it anymore, just let it be."
King Feng Sheng threw up his sleeves and went down to the court, his feet sliding quickly. As a result, he was caught by his teacher as soon as he came to the doorway leading to the study.
Mr. Zao Wen said sincerely, "Your Majesty, your intention to purge the government and the public is good, but no one is perfect. This character and spirit cannot be tested. If you find an important minister who has a flawed character and has not been harbored by evil sources, , how do you tell this person to behave, what is the difference between what you are doing and taking off other people's clothes? The connections in the court are already intricate, and just touching a few ministers will have a huge impact."
"This is better than being stabbed in the back suddenly." King Feng Sheng waved his hand and pushed him away. "I know what the teacher is going to say about clear water without fish, but I'm afraid that one day it will be so turbid that it poisons me. ."
"well......"
This incident in the Aka tribe has caused turmoil in the Chengxun world, and some forces have finally embarked on the road of self-examination.
However, most of the time, once the whitewashed peace is lifted, turmoil will emerge one after another. The forces in the Chengxun world cannot escape this law.
Although no force has explicitly stated that an evil source puppet or evil source practitioner has appeared in my family, or named someone with a bad character and evil thoughts, there are gradually more and more "missing bounties" on the surface.
What's more, some small and medium-sized sects have even had their heads replaced.
But if we really look into it, who can be sure that the person labeled as a villain is really a villain, and the new one is really innocent?
This self-examination carried out in secret is uncovering rotten flesh and releasing evil thoughts. Those with defective minds and evil sources seem to be cornered and become more and more careless.
However, Zhan Changfeng took advantage of this time to find the Fire Flame Tree, picked the Fire Flame Fruit, and brewed a jar of Fire Flame Wine with several ingredients.
She did not open it immediately, but buried it under the yellow sand and set up a formation to attract the power of the sun and the breath of ice.
It was not taken out of Kaifeng until it had spent seventy-seven forty-nine days under the alternate nourishment of the power of the sun and the breath of ice.
The strong aroma of wine filled the air, causing spiritual waves to surge, as if a spiritual treasure was born.
Ji Chaoyue was the first to rush over, her eyes lit up, "Congratulations to your Majesty for getting another jar of good wine. I have been waiting for your Qian Zhong Zui for hundreds of years, but you can't get it. Can you let me taste this cup first to satisfy my craving? ?”
She actually doesn't like wine, but the wine Zhan Changfeng sells is good for spiritual practice and makes people curious.
"The best Qianzhong will wait a thousand years for drunkenness, but it won't be that fast." Zhan Changfeng handed the wine jar in his hand to her, "This kind of fire wine is actually medicinal wine, specially designed to treat heart diseases. If three cups are ineffective, then there will be no The medicine can help.”
Ji Chaoyue understood what he meant, "Drink it for monks affected by evil sources?"
Zhan Changfeng smiled and said, "The War Palace doesn't contain a few evildoers. Go and give it a try and you will know."
You are not sure about your feelings either.
Ji Chaoyue didn't want to be a drug tester, so she immediately said, "Let's try it right now. If it really works, people will be blessed."
