Chu Qingxiao finally understood why the Bai family would do something that was almost suicidal.
They want to make themselves the irrefutable evidence that overthrows the white camel's hump.
They want to avenge their son who died in vain seven years ago!
"You are simply a lunatic!" Chu Qingxiao turned his head to look at the masked man beside him and said angrily.
If he felt that he had some misunderstandings about Mr. Meng before, at this moment, he was almost certain that the man in front of him was a madman, a devil disguised as a good person.
After Chu Qingxiao said that, he turned around and left.
"Where are you going, Mr. Chu?" Mr. Meng's voice sounded.
But this time, it was different from every time before.
His voice became low and cold, and at the same time a cold air enveloped Chu Qingxiao.
The Shura Realm opened up around Chu Qingxiao almost immediately. He realized something was wrong and subconsciously summoned Xue Sanniang and Liaoyuan through the spiritual palace in his body.
"You can't save them." Mr. Meng continued at this time.
"They have already eaten the elixir I refined, and their divinity has begun to spread. In less than a hundred breaths, they will become desolate."
"If you go out now, not only will you not be able to save them, but you will also make their sacrifices in vain..."
"They choose their own path."
"Mr. Chu, I think you should respect their choice..."
When Chu Qingxiao heard these words, he froze on the spot, his body trembling.
He was indeed angry.
Angry at Mr. Meng's cruelty, angry at this poisonous scheme that uses death as evidence.
But Mr. Meng is right.
This path is their own choice.
Chu Qingxiao hesitated. He looked out the window, where the big shots in the Jinyu Hall had already arrived at the door.
…
Fu Zhengliang was very angry.
In the sixty-two years since he could remember, this should be the day that made him the most angry.
During the seven-chamber interrogation in the morning, he received instructions from the master to use all means to prove Chu Qingxiao's identity as an impostor. This was related to the Wuling City case twelve years ago, and even more to the future master of Tianxuan Mountain. Teach Zhao Nianshuang!
Fu Zhengliang attaches great importance to this matter, but at the same time he also thinks that it will not be too difficult, regardless of whether Chu Qingxiao's identity is true or false.
But what Fu Zhengliang didn't expect was.
The attitude of Prince Wu's Mansion was ambiguous. The commander named Zhong Yuan, relying on the support of Prince Wu's Mansion, sneered at him, a dignified peak master.
Jian Tiansi didn't know why, but he always defended Chu Qingxiao. In the end, Fan Yuanwu, who had high hopes for him, didn't know what was going on. The killer move he prepared went wrong, allowing Chu Qingxiao to confirm his identity.
That's all, a guy named Xue Sanniang also came out, saying that the family was framed by the people from the White Hump, and now the whole Tianxuan City is spreading about this matter.
Fu Zhengliang was very upset. He knew when Jia Lian did this.
However, because Xue San's family had no power in Tianxuan City, Fu Zhengliang didn't bother to take care of it. He just told Jia Lian to make things clean and not leave anyone alive.
But now it's good. Not only is Xue Sanniang not dead, but she may have returned to Tianxuan City and revealed the matter in front of many important people from the royal capital.
The white hump was disgraced.
Fu Zhengliang could tell with his butt that Jia Lian's disciples must have been greedy for money and sold Xue Sanniang, who was supposed to be killed, to those people who resold people. This gave him a chance to return to Tianxuan City alive.
Thinking of this, Fu Zhengliang, who was furious, wanted to go back to Baituofeng to find Jia Lian and his unsatisfactory disciples and punish them, but he suddenly received instructions from the headmaster, asking him to pass today's event. During the dinner, take a closer look at the captain's tone and find out why Prince Wu's Mansion's attitude toward Tianxuan Mountain suddenly changed.
Fu Zhengliang had to suppress the anger in his heart. At this banquet, he put on an old face and flattered a young man who was far inferior to him in terms of age, status or cultivation.
That flattering look made him feel sick.
After three rounds of wine, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Fu Zhengliang was striking while the iron was hot, and was about to have a good chat with Zhong Yuan about the affairs of Prince Wu's Mansion, but before he could speak, there was another noise outside Jinyu Hall.
"The master of White Camel Peak, Fu Zhengliang, secretly refined the magic elixir and killed his disciples!"
"My lords, please avenge the untouchables!"
Such loud shouts kept coming, and Fu Zhengliang suddenly woke up from most of his wine.
He originally wanted to let his disciples go out and drive away the guy who came to make trouble for whatever reason, but Zhong Yuan, who was originally drunk and hazy, suddenly seemed to have sobered up and held down Fu Zhengliang with one hand. hand.
"Master Fu Peak, I have seen too many troublemakers like this."
"You must not be soft-hearted. If you indulge them today, they will think you are weak and easy to bully in the future, and they will come to your door to cause trouble every now and then. I have many ways to deal with such people!"
With that said, Zhong Yuan stood up with a proud look on his face, and greeted many officials of the government who were in a state of excitement to leave the Jinyu Hall, saying that he must clear up the name of Lord Fu Peak today.
If he had said this before today, Fu Zhengliang would not have believed it.
But today at the Seven Halls' interrogation, Zhong Yuan's weird attitude was still fresh in his mind, so naturally he didn't want to let the other party participate, so he hurriedly said: "General Zhong has a lot of things to do, and he finally came to Tianxuan Mountain, so he will be treated well."
"How can I bother General Zhong with such a trivial matter? I'll just ask my disciples to drive him away."
"Master Fu Peak is out!" But Zhong Yuan grabbed Fu Zhengliang's hand and stared at him with squinted eyes: "Your Peak Master Zhao from Qingque Peak and my Highness from Prince Wu's Mansion are in love with each other. Tianxuan Mountain and No matter how you say it, Prince Wu’s Mansion can be regarded as the best among Qin and Jin! How can my family’s affairs be troublesome!?”
"What, Master Fu Peak, do you regard me as an outsider, or do you regard His Highness King Wu as an outsider?"
"This... this..." After what Zhong Yuan said, Fu Zhengliang didn't know how to argue for a while. But at this juncture, Zhong Yuan stood up and walked out of the restaurant.
Seeing this, Fu Zhengliang knew that he could not stop the other party, so he could only follow him quickly. Naturally, the other officials also put down their wine glasses and walked out together.
…
Fu Zhengliang hurriedly hurried, and finally arrived in front of Jin Yutang store with Zhong Yuan.
As soon as I saw them, I saw an old couple kneeling on the ground.
The woman's face was pale and she was breathing heavily, while the old man beside her had a sad face and kept talking.
"The master of White Camel Peak, Fu Zhengliang, secretly refined the magic elixir and killed his disciples!"
"My lords, please avenge the untouchables!"
When he saw everyone walking out, the old man suddenly seemed to have seen a savior, rolling and crawling as he knelt down towards this place.
Fu Zhengliang's disciples saw this and stretched out their hands to stop the old man.
Seeing that he could not get closer, the old man quickly looked at Zhong Yuandao and said, "Sir! You must make decisions for the common people!"
"Fu Zhengliang, the master of the white hump, is cruel and ruthless..."
"We were lured into trying the medicine for him, saying that it was just an ordinary elixir and would make him feel unwell at best. But who knew that after taking this elixir, our couple had splitting headaches and fainted several times..."
"What are you fooling around with!" Fu Zhengliang interrupted Bai Qingqu's complaint with an angry look.
Before coming to the door of this restaurant, he was secretly worried that someone might deliberately choose to cause trouble today. After all, he had just experienced the Xue Sanniang incident at noon today, and he was somewhat wary of it.
But seeing that the couple kneeling at the door of the store were both feeble and old, their worries were relieved.
Bai Tuofeng is famous for its method of elixirs. Many elders under the sect like to refine various elixirs. If these elixirs are to be thoroughly confirmed, someone will naturally need to test the elixirs.
Therefore, it is a common thing to offer a price and recruit outer disciples to test the medicine.
Since it is a drug trial, it is inevitable that the effects of some pills will be different from what was expected. These have long been stipulated in the Tianxuan Mountain's sect rules, and how to compensate for any disasters.
The outer disciples who tested the medicine would sign a similar contract after receiving the money to prevent trouble. This matter was legal even under the laws of the Great Xia court.
The old couple in front of them were probably dissatisfied with the amount of compensation, so they chose this time to cause trouble.
Although it did hurt Bai Hump's face a little, it was not a big deal after all.
Thinking of this, Fu Zhengliang continued: "I, Bai Tuofeng, have always been fair in testing medicines. If you feel any discomfort, you can go to the elder who asked you to test the medicine. He will definitely pay you money in accordance with the terms of the contract!"
"What's the reason for coming here to mess around? Do you mean to let all the adults see my Tianxuan Mountain joke?"
If it were an ordinary outer sect disciple, being scolded like this by the peak master would probably already be filled with fear.
But Bai Qingqu's expression remained as usual, and he continued to speak sadly: "My wife and I have already looked for the person on the White Camelback who asked us to test the medicine, but the other person pretended that we were old and ignored our complaints at all. We have no way, so we have the guts to come here to harass you sirs and seek justice for us!"
Bai Qingqu burst into tears as he spoke. As soon as he finished speaking, he knelt down and hit his head on the ground repeatedly. Each time he hit the ground with great force, but in the blink of an eye, his forehead was already dripping with blood, but he didn't seem to notice it. Kowtow constantly.
The couple was already old, and with their behavior like this, the onlookers around them immediately drew a picture in their minds of an elderly couple living alone, trying medicine to survive, but suffering from the effects of the medicine, but after the white hump. A scene where people refuse to take responsibility.
In addition, at the seven-chamber meeting today, Xue Sanniang's accusation against Jia Lian had spread throughout Tianxuan City, and everyone around them suddenly started whispering.
Even though Fu Zhengliang, the master of the White Hump, was still present, the criticism of the White Hump in everyone's words never stopped.
Fu Zhengliang's face was ugly.
He cursed in his mind that the disciples under him were becoming more and more domineering day by day.
Tianxuan Mountain has gradually grown in power over the years, and its influence in various places has continued to grow. As a result, most of its disciples have become domineering, causing Fu Zhengliang a lot of trouble.
In the past, for the sake of peace on the sacred peak and the prestige of Tianxuan Mountain, most suffering masters did not dare to speak out too much. Fu Zhengliang turned a blind eye to these things.
But now that the incidents have come to light one after another, and all of them have been brought to the attention of important people in the court, this made Fu Zhengliang realize that he must discipline his disciples well, lest he really makes a huge mistake one day...
Thinking of this, he looked at the Bai Qingqu: "Stop knocking!"
"Tell me which elder dares to act like this. As long as it is verified to be true, I promise to give you justice!"
"Is it Jia Lian? Lu Sanchun? Or Jin Zhanxu?"
Fu Zhengliang listed the names of the white hump elders who were refining new elixirs in recent days, hoping to find the culprit.
Of course he is not impatient of justice, but at this moment in front of the wine shop, many officials are present, and there are so many disciples of Tianxuan Mountain watching, this face is far more important than others.
Only by finding the culprit can the incident be settled, so as to avoid further embarrassment.
"None of them..." Facing Fu Zhengliang's question, Bai Qingqu shook his head and said.
Fu Zhengliang frowned when he heard this. He could think of these being the only White Hump elders who have refined new elixirs recently...
"Then tell me who asked you and your wife to test the medicine for him." Just as Fu Zhengliang was feeling uneasy, Zhong Yuan beside him suddenly stepped forward. After he said this, he looked towards Fu Zhengliang said: "Master Fu Peak has already said that he will definitely uphold justice for you. Besides, we have Mr. Liu, the young commander of Mingtai Mansion, here. What are you afraid of?"
"Do you think Peak Master Fu will intentionally cover up because you are suing someone on his peak?"
After Zhong Yuan said this, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Fu Zhengliang with a meaningful light in his eyes.
Fu Zhengliang's heart skipped a beat, and the uneasiness in his heart became heavier.
He always felt that starting from the day when he met the commander of Prince Wu's Mansion, all his actions revealed something unusual.
But for a while, he couldn't figure out what went wrong.
And since Zhong Yuan said such words in front of so many people, no matter how worried he was, he could only bite the bullet and say: "Of course!"
"If you have any grievances, just say it. I, Fu Zhengliang, will guarantee it with my life and fortune. As long as what I say is true, I will definitely give you justice."
"Master Fu Feng is righteous!" As soon as Bai Qingqu said this, before Bai Qingqu could say a word, Zhong Yuan on the side shouted loudly and responded in agreement.
Fu Zhengliang looked at the rugged man with a smile in front of him, and felt even more uneasy.
He always felt that this man who looked tall and thick was actually very thoughtful. Even from the moment the old couple appeared, Zhong Yuan, who had been drunk in the wine shop just now, seemed to be unconscious, sobered up in an instant, just like before. Everything is just a pretense, just waiting for the good show in front of me to start...
Fu Zhengliang, who had already been put on the stage, had to cooperate with him to complete this unintentional scene.
"Think carefully about who asked you to try the medicine! This is Tianxuan Mountain. As long as the matter is true, I will not let him go." Fu Zhengliang looked at Bai Qingqu and said again.
His voice was low, with a hint of menace.
"But if it is false, I will not let go of anyone who slanders Shenfeng!"
"No matter who is behind you, I can stop you from standing on this mountain!"
Faced with such a threat, Bai Qingqu seemed not to understand the other party's implication.
At that time, he said without hesitation: "It's Fu Xuance!"
"The Supreme Elder with White Hump! Fu Xuance!"
…
Fu Xuance.
As these three words were spoken, there was an uproar around Jin Yutang.
For Tianxuan Mountain, and even for the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
This Juedu can be regarded as a thunderous name.
He is said to be the most brilliant pharmacist in the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the past hundred years.
Even the emperor in the Northern Wei Dynasty sent people to ask him to make elixirs for him.
He was cultivated in the eighth realm, but he lived for more than a hundred and thirty years, and he was still so powerful that he could almost be regarded as a legend.
You must know that even a powerful person in the realm of gods, who has not entered the Wen Gong and Martial Temples and has not been recognized by the ancestors and gods, will suffer from the decline of heaven and man when he is a hundred years old, let alone an eighth realm monk.
The elixirs he refined were once sold at sky-high prices, and the elixirs that were circulating among the people would even lead to many murders.
Although he was only the Supreme Elder of White Camelback, he had been the headmaster of Tianxuan Mountain for several years and treated him with respect.
The old man in linen clothes in front of him actually wants to sue such a legendary figure...
This is simply a fantasy.
…
"You...what did you say?" Fu Zhengliang did not expect such words to come out of the other party's mouth. He blinked with a strange look on his face, secretly thinking that he heard something wrong.
Bai Qingqu didn't realize that there was anything wrong with what he said. At that time, he looked resolutely at the astonished officials of the government in front of him, and continued: "Let me tell you, my concubine and I want to sue Bai Tuofengtai. Go up to Elder Fu Xuance!"
"He used coercion and inducement to threaten me and Jian Nei to try the medicine. But after taking the medicine, we felt unbearable pain all over our bodies and almost fainted."
"Not only that, but there are dozens of outer disciples who were deceived into going to White Camelback to test the medicine. They have not been heard from since. They are afraid that they may have suffered an accident. I hope you will be aware of this!"
As soon as he said this, all the officials in the department looked strange.
Regardless of the truth or falsehood of what Bai Qingqu said, even if what he said was true, they would never have the courage to investigate a person like Xuance. There were too many involved. Compared with the interests of all parties, Bai Qingqu The grievances and truths in his mouth seemed so worth mentioning.
When Fu Zhengliang heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his expression changed drastically.
Fu Xuance was indeed refining an elixir.
The existence of this elixir can be said to be the most important secret of Tianxuan Mountain.
In the entire Tianxuan Mountain, except for those who participated in the refining, including the headmaster, there are definitely no more than five fingers of people who know about it.
But the inconspicuous old couple in front of them revealed the matter in one word, and even mentioned that they tricked some outer disciples into climbing to the divine peak...
This made Fu Zheng's conscience shake, and he couldn't figure out for a while whether the other party had hit him by mistake or if he really knew something...
But he quickly calmed down.
This matter is so secret that it is impossible for anyone in front of you to know about it. Most of them are charlatans who have no idea the importance of the three words "Fu Xuance" and just want to use it to intimidate themselves and defraud them of money.
With this thought, Fu Zhengliang felt a little at ease, then he looked at Bai Qingqu angrily and said, "Nonsense!"
"Elder Fu is the number one pharmacist in Great Xiaxia."
"My medical skills are close to spirituality, and I am highly respected. How could I test medicine on someone and then turn a blind eye? How could I trick others into going up the mountain!"
"How dare you slander me, the Supreme Elder of Tianxuan Mountain, in this way? Do you know that this alone is enough for me to strip you to pieces!"
"I..." When Bai Qingqu heard this, he naturally wanted to refute.
But before he could say anything, the onlookers around him started talking.
"I thought he was really someone who had been wronged, but now it seems he is just a charlatan..."
"It's also stupid. He actually deceived Elder Fu."
"Elder Fu has great medical skills. Which of the elixirs he refines is not priceless? Why do you still need someone to test the medicine? If you really have such an opportunity, let alone test the medicine, even if you ask me to pay for it, I can't ask for it!"
"Yes! These two old guys, despite their age, do such shameless things. Do they really think that we are as stupid as him and would believe their clumsy lies?"
…
Everyone's criticisms poured into Bai Qingqu's ears. His body trembled and he turned to look at the people around him, looking at the contempt in their eyes and listening to their whispers.
At that moment, Bai Qingqu seemed to have returned to the night seven years ago when his son died.
When he came to the sword-wielding hall with his son's body in his arms and accused Fu Xuance in tears, the people around him said the same thing.
It's just because Fu Xuance is the Supreme Elder of White Camelback and a famous medical expert.
And his son is just an unknown inner disciple.
So, they all thought.
It must have been his son who stole the elixir, rather than Fu Xuance deliberately deceiving him...
They didn't even want to take a second look at the evidence and decided right from wrong based on their imagination.
But that was his son.
He knows what kind of kid he is!
They don't care about the truth at all...
Not willing to spend even ten breaths to know the whole story.
They all deserve to die!
Everyone should be buried with their own sons! ! !
Bai Qingqu's last trace of intolerance towards the people around him dissipated at that time.
He clenched his fists, finally making up his mind at this moment.
"Ahem!" At this moment, the old woman who had been kneeling on the ground coughed violently, and two streams of bright red blood spurted out from her mouth and fell on the ground in front of her.
Seeing this, Bai Qingqu hurriedly knelt down and looked down at his wife.
The old woman's body was trembling, and her face, which was difficult for others to see due to her lowered posture, was covered with purple raised blood vessels, making her look extremely ferocious.
Purple light flashed from time to time in her eyes, as if something was about to burst out of her body.
Bai Qingqu, who caught a glimpse of this scene, knew that his wife was dying and a terrible monster was growing from her body.
If he had put it before, he would probably feel sad and intolerable.
But at this moment, he only felt relieved.
I just feel relaxed.
He reached out his hand and gently wiped away the blood that spilled from the corner of his wife's mouth.
Smiling, he whispered in a gentle voice: "Ah Chen, please bear with me a little longer..."
"Soon we will be able to avenge Zian..."
"Soon our family will be reunited."
