Putting Du Xinrui's good plan to eliminate demons aside for the time being, the conversation returned to Jiuli City. On that day, Elder Haoran was summoned to the palace by Jiuli Patriarch to inquire about the progress of their search for the "Seven Evil Blood Refining Magic" scroll, and gave him and Furukawa The elder imposed the task of quickly tracing the magic scroll.
After leaving the palace and returning to the palace, Elder Haoran felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his heart. He felt an invisible huge pressure that was suffocating him.
This pressure does not come from the ancestor of Jiuli, but more from his responsibility for the life and death of the people of Jiuli. He believes that the life and death of all the people in Jiuli City are now tied to his hands. If this matter is not settled as soon as possible, the Jiuli clan may cease to exist. At present, Jiuli's affairs are in great danger.
Elder Haoran, who was sitting alone in the incense-soaking pavilion, watched the fish swimming randomly in the water uneasily. His heart was disturbed. At present, he had found almost nothing in his pursuit of the "Seven Evil Blood Refining Magic" scroll.
Now only Elder Amitabha's clue gave him a little bit of comfort, but so far, all his suspicions about Prince Amitabha were just their wishful thinking and there was no real evidence. Therefore, they were sure of their suspicions about Prince Amitabha, and it was completely justified. It might collapse in an instant, and then all his previous efforts would be in vain. If so, everything will return to the starting point.
In his messy thoughts, Elder Haoran carefully and slowly went through the whole incident, hoping to find a breakthrough and break out of the predicament he was currently trapped in.
Elder Haoran sat cross-legged, and he began to ring the demon-suppressing bell from the Demon Suppression Tower. Mi Tuo's skill increased erratically. The seven elders entered the Demon Suppression Tower. Ancestor Jiuli inspected the scroll of "Seven Evils Blood Refining Magic". Furukawa He was ordered to track down the "Seven Evil Blood Refining Magic" scroll, the three elders rushed to the Land of Yunmeng, and then he and Elder Furukawa visited the prince's house at night, and other incidents were recounted one by one.
After about half an hour of sorting out his thoughts, Elder Haoran came to the conclusion that all the current evidence and doubts pointed to Amitabha, and only Elder Amitabha was the most suspicious. Before finding other clues, he should look for this clue to investigate. There may be unexpected windfalls.
Elder Haoran thought to himself, "If it was Elder Amitabha who really stole the scroll of the "Seven Evil Blood Refining Magic", he would definitely look for the best opportunity and the most hidden place to practice this peerless magic skill.
However, during his trip to Yunmeng, he happened to have the right time and place, and with the demonic dragon as a cover, it was undoubtedly the best time and place for him to practice the "Seven Evil Blood Refining Magic".
Elder Haoran looked up at the foggy sky. The brilliance of the sun was completely obscured by thick dark clouds, and no ray of sunlight could shine through. His mood was unusually dull, and he said to himself meaningfully: "It seems I should go see Elder Naran."
…
Chi You and Sha Moyu have been detained in Tianlao by Jiuli Patriarch for some time. They originally thought that during this period, someone would come to visit them. After all, they thought they had made acquaintances in the court. There are few like-minded mentors and helpful friends. But what they didn't expect was that as soon as something happened to them, none of the people they thought were good teachers and friends came to see them, which made them disappointed.
General Sha Moyu said grumblingly: "General, tell me, those who call us brothers often talk about life-and-death friendships in front of us, and talk about deep friendship and righteousness. I didn't expect that if something happened to us, They all flew away when the fucking disaster came, and didn't even come to see us. What kind of brothers and friends are these? I think they are just a bunch of rabble, they are simply bastards, and you can't conspire with them."
General Chi You said: "Stop complaining there, there is no point." He picked up the corners of the prison uniform with his hands, shook it, and said: "Look at us now, do you think we are staying in a hotel?" Huh? Very glorious and glorious? We are in jail! Brother.
Do you think that everyone is willing to take a trip into this muddy water, and it’s too late for them to hide? We can't blame them. After all, this crime of decapitation is not an ordinary prison sentence. He is not afraid of implicating himself and his family. We should feel satisfied that they could intercede for us in the court that day. Do we really want them to accompany us to death together? Is that what we call deep love and righteousness? "
Chi You's words made Sha Moyu's temperament improve a lot. He calmed down and sat with Chi You. He asked calmly: "General, do you think the king will really chop off our heads?"
General Chi You was silent for a while. He was not sure about this. He didn't want Sha Moyu to have too much hope. As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. He didn't want Sha Moyu to stand now. In the cloud of hope, if one of them is taken to the guillotine that day, wouldn't he fall from the cloud of hope to the bottom of disappointment in an instant?
Chi You said coldly: "Maybe! Are you afraid?"
Sha Moyu snorted and said: "General and I have been on the battlefield for so many years. General, when have you ever seen me greedy for life and afraid of death? A severed head is just a scar as big as a bowl. What's so scary?"
Chi You patted Sha Mo Yu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, as long as I, Chi You, are here, even if I have to go to the guillotine, I won't let you go first."
Sha Moyu said: "If I can go into battle with the general to kill the enemy, I will have no regrets in this life. As long as the general is with me, let alone the guillotine, there is nothing to fear about going to the eighteen levels of hell."
"If I can have a brother of life and death like you in this life, what more could I ask for?"
Chi You recalled the secret message that Elder Haoran gave him, telling him not to act rashly or despair at any time and anywhere, but to believe in the king and respond to him. No matter how difficult he encounters or what predicament he is in, he will eventually turn the danger into safety, and finally take control of Jiuli and achieve some brilliant achievements.
Chi You looked around at the cold, damp, and dim environment in Tianlao, and said to himself: "Elder, is this really a blessing, a disaster, a disaster, a blessing? Is this a blessing or a disaster? I still have it. Can you believe me? You never come to see me. As long as you come to see me, maybe my heart will be at peace. Are you also afraid that you will be implicated by me? "
…
The next day, Elder Haoran and General Chi Li came to Elder Naran's residence and were warmly welcomed and entertained by Elder Naran.
Elder Naran knew that Elder Haoran liked to drink tea the most, so he asked his servants to make him a pot of high-quality Yunwu Cuiyang.
Elder Naran said: "Elder, you are proficient in tea ceremony. How about tasting this tea?"
Elder Haoran picked up the white jade porcelain cup, looked at the color of the tea soup, and said, "The color of the tea soup is green and verdant, like a green gem. It is even more dazzling and shining in this bowl."
Elder Haoran picked up the cup, brought it to his nose, smelled it elegantly, and said, "It is refreshing and refreshing."
Elder Naran was very happy to see Elder Haoran enjoying it, which meant that the Yunwu Green Bud he brought back was indeed a can of good tea, and it was not in vain that he brought it back all the way.
Elder Naran couldn't wait to let Elder Haoran taste it. He wanted to see how the Yunwu Maojian tasted?
Elder Haoran took a sip carefully and said, "It's as delicious as sweet, sweet and delicious, with endless aftertaste. It's really a good tea."
Elder Naran said happily: "As long as you like it. These are the fine Yunmuzui buds that I brought to you specially from the Land of Yunmeng. I originally planned to send them to you a few days ago, but some small things happened during them. It’s an interlude, so I’ve been putting it off until now. You came just in time today, so just take it back with you! Otherwise I have to go to Haoran Mansion again.”
Elder Haoran felt very guilty for not visiting Elder Naran a few days ago in order to avoid suspicion and prevent Patriarch Jiuli from mistakenly thinking that they were forming a clique for personal gain.
Elder Haoran said with a hint of shame: "This is no reward for no merit. How can I afford such a precious thing, elder?"
"The elder knows that I know nothing about the tea ceremony. No matter how good the tea is, it can only be used as boiled water to quench my thirst. This is simply a waste of resources. Only by letting it go to a close friend like you can its quality and connotation be reflected. .Stop politely declining, we are all brothers, why should we be so polite?"
"The elder is so friendly. If I refuse again to avoid appearing too pretentious, then well, I would rather obey the order and accept this precious thing from the elder."
"I just like your cheerful character. Elders usually go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. I wonder why you came to my Naran Mansion today?"
Elder Haoran secretly considered that he could not go straight to the point of the investigation and ask Elder Amitabha about what happened in Yunmeng, otherwise it would be easier to expose the theft of the "Seven Evil Blood Refining Magic" and cause unnecessary trouble, so he could only lie in the middle. Ask for help.
