Chapter 480 A Fair Showdown

Daoist Chongren paused for a moment, then looked at Li Yun in puzzlement, "My lord, this is..."

"Where does the Taoist think he will spend the night tonight?"

"Of course...it's natural to go home and spend the night."

Li Yun shook his head, "No, it's hard to say."

Daoist Chongren forced a smile and asked, "What do you mean, my lord?"

"I'm from Dali Temple in the imperial court. I have something to ask you."

Daoist Chongren's face changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down, "I don't know what your lord is doing?"

"Taoist Yuxuzi conspired to rebel and recruited a group of Taoist priests in Chang'an. Some of them have a tacit understanding with you. Naturally, you are also suspicious."

Chongren hurriedly replied: "Your Excellency must have made a mistake. I have only met Yu Xuzi once. I don't want to talk to him at all. That old man is so godlike. I don't believe his way. My Lord, I really didn't participate in them." activity."

"Then why did someone see you getting close to those Taoist priests?"

Chongren shook his head hastily and said, "That's all to frame me, I'm really not familiar with them."

Li Yun shook his head, stood up, and looked down at Chongren, "It seems that I need to take you to prison, so that you will be willing to talk about it."

Taoist Priest Yu Chongren shook his head hastily, and then said: "My lord, I really don't know them very well. I only have a little friendship with a Taoist priest named Lu Cheng."

"Lu Cheng? Where is he now?"

Taoist Chongren rolled his eyes and shook his head, "I don't know."

Li Yun shook his head, "You have been away from home for 22 years, so long has passed, do you still remember your father and mother?"

Chongren paused, his face pale.

Li Yun continued: "You said I invited them to Chang'an, what would happen?"

"My lord... Are you kidding me, my lord?"

"Of course not, Yu Xuzi's rebellion, such a serious crime, there is no feeling at all, do you think you can bear it on behalf of others?"

Chongren knelt down, then kowtowed, and said: "My lord, Lu Cheng is at my house. He has been hiding for a day. I don't know about Yu Xuzi. I swear, I really don't know, otherwise, I would never Never dare to take Lu Cheng in."

Li Yun nodded, and then asked Taoist Chongren to lead the way, while he and the guards followed behind.

Chongren led the way, hesitant to speak.

When he came to a dilapidated small courtyard, Chongren couldn't help but said: "My lord, Lu Cheng is a strong man, but he is a kind person, so don't argue with him."

Li Yun smiled, "Since you are kind, why did you follow Yu Xuzi?"

"This... there may be something hidden in it that we don't know about."

Li Yun smiled, ignored Chongren, and continued to move forward.

Stepping into the small courtyard, I saw a middle-aged Taoist priest sitting and drinking tea.

This person was about 40 years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, and a tall figure. Although he was wearing a Taoist robe, he had a sense of righteousness.

Li Yun smiled and nodded, "You are Lu Cheng."

There was also a small square table and four stone stools in the small courtyard. Li Yun sat down, then patted the stone stool next to her and let Xie Shuying sit on it.

Xie Shuying also sat down and looked at Lu Cheng curiously.

Lu Cheng was much more serious, "Who are you?"

"I'm the Shangguan of Dali Temple. Yu Xuzi conspired against the Nine Clans. I heard that you and Yu Xuzi want to be inseparable. Come to think of it, you should know where Yuxuzi is, right?"

Lu Cheng snorted coldly, stood up, and then remained silent with a sullen face.

"Since you don't want to speak, then come with us to Dali Temple."

Chongren put down the guy who was eating, and then said anxiously: "Brother Lu, you didn't participate in those treasonous things, so why should you resist? This matter has nothing to do with you, just tell the truth."

Lu Cheng opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound. Then he sighed, shook his head, and then lowered his head not to look at Chongren.

"Brother Lu, didn't you and I make an appointment to go back to our hometown together? Have you forgotten your old parents?"

Lu Cheng lowered his head, still not speaking.

Li Yun smiled and waved his hands. The two guards opened their eyes and stepped forward, but Lu Cheng suddenly jumped up, and then bumped his head towards the wall on one side.

With his momentum, if he bumped his head against the wall, he might meet Hades soon.

Chongren exclaimed, and the whole person was stunned.

At this critical moment, Li Yun kicked Lu Cheng down on the wall.

"You can't die now, tell me honestly first."

Lu Cheng snorted coldly, "Even if you kill me, I won't say anything."

Li Yun nodded, and then performed a god-level scan.

"Male, 38 years old, 1.6 meters eight, weighing 130 catties, in good health, a little mentally weak, occupation is a fortune teller, the strongest ability is a pair of mountaineering hands, people block and kill people, Buddhas should kill Buddhas."

"Stubborn, principled, and individual."

"At present, he is very worried about Yuxuzi's affairs. He is afraid that Yuxuzi will die because of it."

"I hope to make a lot of money and return to my hometown with glory."

Li Yun probably understood the basic information of Lu Cheng, he smiled, and then asked: "You used to be a person in the Jianghu?"

Lu Cheng paused slightly, he didn't expect Li Yun to know this.

Li Yun continued: "So Yu Xuzi saved your life, you are so loyal to him."

Lu Cheng didn't speak.

Li Yun went on to say: "I can find out Chongren's hometown, so naturally I can also find out your hometown. I just said that I brought his father and mother here, and he was frightened. What about you? You want me to send you Will Mommy and Daddy come over?"

Lu Cheng's eyes widened and he glared at Li Yun, "You are despicable."

Li Yun snorted coldly, "Yu Xuzi conspired against the great crime, you see small profits and forget the righteousness, who is despicable, you know, if someone really listened to Yu Xuzi's nonsense and rebelled, how many people would be displaced by then. "

Lu Cheng snorted coldly, but still didn't speak.

Li Yun went on to say: "Since you don't want to say it, then we might as well have a fair confrontation."

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at Li Yun in surprise.

What does it mean that Li Yun didn't take Yuxuzi to the prison in Dali Temple for this "fair duel"?
Li Yun went on to say: "You are a fortune teller, and you are also a master of the rivers and lakes. You can choose whatever you want. We can compare fortune-telling and skills. If you lose, you can tell me the matter honestly."

"If you win, I will leave immediately, and I will never bother you again, nor will I threaten you and Taoist Chongren with your parents."

Lu Cheng glanced at Chongren, "Did you tell him about me?"

Chongren smiled wryly and shook his head, "No, brother Lu, you haven't even told me about your affairs in detail."

Lu Cheng thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case. He never told Chongren about him, he only said that the two of them were fellow villagers and they both wanted to go home.
