Mind Cultivation Record

Several rays of escaping light came from all directions, arriving at the same time.

Ancestor Moyan, three other ancestors of casual cultivators, even the God of Death, Xiang Luming, and six ancestors of Nascent Soul surrounded Xiao Mian who was supporting Qi Zhizhai's body.

Bai Yuxi and Shanhe Zun were on the outside with solemn expressions.

Before Xiao Mian could speak, Xiang Lu Ming had already asked.

"Xiao Mian! You have such a cruel heart! Although Fellow Daoist Qi has some old grudges with you, they are all in the past. I didn't expect you to harbor evil intentions. It was not enough to openly confront him the previous time. This time, you have made repeated plans to plot against Fellow Daoist Qi. It’s really heartbreaking!”

"..."

Faced with Xiang Lumen's accusation, Xiao Mian said nothing.

Looking at Xiang Luming with deep eyes, Xiao Mian even glanced at everyone.

Others just paid it back. Seeing Master Bai Qi's serious expression, Xiao Mian smiled bitterly in his heart.

Continuous designs?

Today's situation is not that Xiao Mian plotted against Qi Zhizhai, but Qi Zhizhai plotted against Xiao Mian - but Xiao Mian didn't understand: Qi Zhizhai, why bother?

Even if he wanted to plot against Xiao Mian, why would Qi Zhizhai risk his own life?

Because of this, any rebuttal by Xiao Mian seemed feeble.

Who would risk his own life just to frame another person?

What's more, are they still people like Qi Zhizhai who are greedy for life and afraid of death?

"Xiao Mian! What happened today is of great importance, aren't you going to give us an explanation?" But it was the God of Death who asked again. When Xiao Mian heard this, he glanced at the God of Death, and without any objection, he told everything about what happened today. , at the end, he added: "If this junior set up a trap to harm senior Qi, why would I bother to send a message to you all to bring you here?"

"Hmph! Xiao Mian! This is where your deceit lies!" Xiang Lumen pointed at Xiao Mian's nose and said loudly: "You have already calculated everything! You sent us a message in advance to bring us here, but before that You plotted against Fellow Daoist Qi. In this way, you can use the summons as an excuse to prove your innocence! But you didn’t expect that before you were summoned, Fellow Daoist Qi summoned me and said that you had evil intentions!”

"..., I really didn't expect it!"

Xiao Mian shook his head with a bitter look on his face.

If what Xiang Luming said is true, Qi Zhizhai's fatal situation was clearly premeditated!

Because there was a summons from Qi Zhizhai, everyone rushed here. When they saw Qi Zhizhai dead in front of Xiao Mian, they naturally preconceived the idea that Xiao Mian had plotted against Qi Zhizhai.

There was no evidence of death at the scene, and Xiao Mian couldn't argue!

"Xiao Mian! Your attempt to kill the Yuan Ying ancestor of the South Vietnam Army is regarded as treason and an unforgivable crime. If you don't want to harm the family members of the sect, do you know what to do?"

"This heinous crime is unforgivable? Senior! What do you think the younger generation should do to avoid harming the sect and relatives? Please lead the younger generation with a clear path!"

"Hmph! I advise you to kill yourself to thank the world!"

Xiang Luming, trying to force Xiao Mian to death!

When Xiao Mian heard this, he smiled instead of getting angry.

Not to mention that Qi Zhizhai was not killed by him, even if he did kill Qi Zhizhai, Xiang Luming and others would never think of forcing him, Xiao Mian or anyone around him to be killed in the name of justice!

Otherwise, Xiao Mian doesn't mind - the fish will die and the net will break!

Righteousness? Bullshit!

"I'll say it again: Qi Zhizhai was not killed by me! If you believe it, believe it. If you don't believe it and want to avenge Qi Zhizhai and attack me, just come!" Abandoning Qi Zhizhai's body, Xiao Mian stood up and glanced Looking at all the Nascent Soul Ancestors, they finally faced Xiang Luming and said calmly: "If you can kill me, you might as well give it a try!"

A mere golden elixir monk is challenging the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors!

What’s even weirder is: none of the eight Nascent Soul Ancestors made a sound.

Even Xiang Luming, who went to put the shit basin on Xiao Mian's head, also stopped and made no sound after noticing that no one responded.

He is not familiar with Lu Ming and Qi Zhizhai!

Xiang Luming would not fight Xiao Mian for the sake of a dead Qi Zhizhai!

It's just that today's matter, if Xiao Mengru can't explain it clearly, will be enough to stink him!

Qi Zhizhai is not only the ancestor of Yuanying, but also the leader of Wanzong City Servant Beast Flow.

During Nanyue Prefecture's expedition to the East China Sea, the beast-fighting stream was one of the nine major factions in Wan Zong City. Not only did the sect leader Qi Zhizhai personally go out, but there were also many beast-fighting masters accompanying him.

If there is no explanation for the death of the sect leader of the Yongshu style, what will happen?

A bad one, the South Vietnamese Army, is likely to split from within...

Thinking of this, Xiang Luming was no longer in a hurry to challenge Xiao Mian.

He wanted to see how Xiao Mian could clean up his grievances!

He wanted to see how the scholar who always protected Xiao Mian made a decision!

In this way, under Xiao Mian's strong resistance, Xiang Luming and others did not dare to press too hard, but rushed back to the Bingfu with Qi Zhizhai's body.

Of course, Xiao Mian, the biggest suspect in the murder of Qi Zhizhai, could not escape either.

In the Bingfu number, the scholar had a solemn look on his face.

Qi Zhizhai's body was placed below the hall, and a group of Nascent Soul Ancestors were in the hall.

After taking a deep look at Xiao Mian, the scholar sighed quietly.

"Senior Shang! How do you plan to deal with this matter?"

"Xiao Mian was so ambitious that he secretly plotted to kill fellow Daoist Qi just for the sake of an old grudge. The law is open and everyone is watching. What else is there to quibble about?"

"That's right! Although Fellow Daoist Qi is a beast master, he is also the ancestor of Yuanying. How could he kill Fellow Daoist Qi so easily if he were not the ancestor of Yuanying?"

"We, the Yuan Ying ancestors, all work in pairs, but this Xiao Mian..."

"This thief must have plotted against Fellow Daoist Qi!"

"Senior Shang! I hope you will enforce the law impartially and never engage in malpractice for personal gain!"

"Even if it's not for Fellow Daoist Qi, we still have to take into consideration the mood of the monks of the Beast-Yuing style!"

For a time, all the Nascent Soul Ancestors in the hall were talking about it, pointing their fingers at Xiao Mian.

"That's enough! With me, Shang Huairen, in the South Vietnam Army, it's not the turn of you fellow Taoists to tell you what to do!" The unique scholar, who always treated others gently, had an ashen complexion and fierce words: "This matter, Shang Shang will do it himself." I will investigate to the end and give you a satisfactory explanation to fellow Taoist disciples! If it is true that Xiao Mian murdered Fellow Daoist Qi for no reason, Mr. Shang should personally take action to avenge Fellow Daoist Qi. But until the matter is clear, all fellow Daoists should respect themselves. Identity, don’t follow others’ opinions and lose your sense of proportion!”

"This... is exactly what Senior Shang said!"

"Senior Shang is always fair, and I am sincerely convinced!"

"I'll ask Senior Shang to investigate this matter clearly. I'll take my leave..."

The scholar became furious and many Nascent Soul Ancestors retreated one after another.

Not to mention that today's scholar is already a high-level Nascent Soul monk, whose cultivation level is the highest among all, but in the future, the scholar will probably be another Ten Thousand Sect Saints.

Besides, everyone has heard more or less about the friendship between the scholar and Xiao Mian.

Who would openly offend a scholar for the sake of the fallen Qi Zhizhai?

If the scholars really wanted to protect Xiao Mian, they would not bother to plead grievances for Qi Zhizhai!

Qi Zhizhai, he was a Nascent Soul Ancestor when he was alive, but he was just a handful of loess when he died!

After all the Nascent Soul Ancestors had retreated, only the scholar and Xiao Mian were left in the hall, and of course, the dilapidated body of Qi Zhizhai.

"Master! I did not do this!"

"I know! If you want to do this, where can there be so many threads?"

When Xiao Mian heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The scholar didn't know whether he was praising Xiao Mian or scolding Xiao Mian...

But it is indeed the case!

If Xiao Mengruo really wanted to murder Qi Zhizhai, he was absolutely unaware of it!

Even if everyone has doubts, they can't find him on Xiao Mian's head...

Besides, when the scouts were assigned, Qi Zhizhai took the initiative to join Xiao Mian. From this point of view, Xiao Mian was already passive.

However, these strange things cannot be evidence of Xiao Mian's innocence.

Just because the medicine Qi Zhizhai administered this time was too strong...

In order to frame Xiao Mian, he even risked his own life!

This really corresponds to the old saying: I dare to take down the emperor even if I am willing to be killed!

Today, Xiao Mian is like the local emperor who was pulled down...

Before the scholar and Xiao Mian could discuss some details, there was a loud sound outside the Bingfu.

But it was the monks who belonged to the Beast-Serving School who learned of Qi Zhizhai's death.

And because of the deliberate spreading to Lu Ming and other interested people, the news of Qi Zhizhai's death cast a heavy shadow - Xiao Mian became the target of public criticism!

The public sentiment is passionate, and once incited, it is difficult to suppress it.

The scholar's face became even more ugly, but Xiao Mian's expression changed.

At that moment, Xiao Mian asked the scholar to invite Kong Yuanren and whispered something to Kong Yuanren.

Kong Yuanren got Xiao Mian's instructions and left.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian was determined.

From then on, Xiao Mian stayed behind closed doors under the surveillance or protection of the scholar.

On the Bingfu, the calls for severe punishment of Xiao Mian became louder and louder.

Xiao Mian, who was born in the South Vietnamese Army, was not an unknown soldier without any reputation.

Over time, differences emerged in the South Vietnamese Army - one group mainly supported the beasts, and the other group mainly supported Xiao Mian.

The confrontation between the two sides has become more and more intense...

Seeing that one bad thing is fighting with weapons.

But at this moment, Kong Yuanren led Chu Xuanji into the lobby.

"how?"

"It's just as Senior Xiao expected! Among the many monks of the Beast Sect, many have only one soul contract in their bodies - but they all have more than one spirit beast!"

While speaking, Chu Xuanji took out two jade slips and handed them to Xiao Mian.

What is recorded in the two jade slips is the list of soldiers sent to the East China Sea this time.

One piece was engraved with the list of suspicious monks.

The other piece is the list of normal monks who Chu Xuanji also found no abnormalities.

Previously, Xiao Mian had asked Kong Yuanren to let Chu Xuanji secretly observe the cultivators of the beasts with the eyes of the cave abyss, in order to see how many soul bonds they had in their bodies.

After receiving two jade slips from Chu Xuanji, Xiao Mian curled his lips.

Scanning the two jade slips one by one, Xiao Mian found the first one, but in the second jade slip, he found the name of a person he had met decades ago.

At that moment, Xiao Mian whispered to Kong Yuanren.

Kong Yuanren turned around and left without doubting his presence.

Within a moment, Kong Yuanren left and returned, bringing another person with him.

This person was Di Qingyun, the golden elixir beast master whom Xiao Mian met by chance at the beast stream station in Wanzong City when he was still a minor cultivator in the foundation-building period!

Although Di Qingyun had already broken away from the animal service stream, he was still a beast service master in name. During this expedition to the East China Sea, Di Qingyun was classified into the animal service stream.

Chu Xuanji didn't know what was going on, and even Di Qingyun didn't let her go...

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Mian was reminded of the past between Di Qingyun and the beast stream.

As for Di Qingyun, although he has reached the top level of Jindan in cultivation, he has not yet gathered his spiritual consciousness. When he saw the scholar, Di Qingyun hurriedly saluted.

Now that things have come to a point, Xiao Mian is not polite and goes straight to the point.

"Senior Di! This junior is here to ask you a question: Can a beast master control multiple spiritual beasts at the same time through a soul contract?"

"This is impossible!" Without looking back, Di Qingyun had categorically rejected it. Then, he turned around, looked at Xiao Mian seriously, and said at the same time: "Are you Xiao Mian of the Five Elements Sect? To be honest: I don’t believe you killed Qi Zhizhai!”

"Thank you, Senior Di, for your trust. If I want to clear my grievances, I need Senior Di's help!"

At that moment, Xiao Mian revealed everything about the fact that Qi Zhizhai only had one soul contract in his body.

As a beast master, Di Qingyun has broken away from the beast-wrangling trend, but he still has heard about how many spiritual beasts Qi Zhizhai has.

Seeing that Xiao Mian's words did not seem to be false, Di Qingyun was speechless for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Qi Zhizhai has died, and the soul bond in his body has naturally fallen apart. It can be said that there is no proof of death to the extreme!

Suddenly, Di Qingyun's expression changed slightly.

"What? What possibilities did Senior Di think of?"

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Faced with Xiao Mian's questioning, Di Qingyun shook his head repeatedly. At the same time, his face became increasingly pale.

Obviously, Di Qingyun did think of a certain possibility.

But because this might be too shocking, even he himself couldn’t believe it!

Xiao Mian didn't rush him, he just waited quietly for Di Qingyun to regain his composure...

After a long time, under the expectation of Xiao Mian and others, Di Qingyun regained his composure and finally revealed a taboo topic about beast masters.

After listening to Di Qingyun's explanation, even Xiao Mian's expression changed drastically.

Even though Xiao Mian was fully prepared, what Di Qingyun said was still beyond Xiao Mian's expectation, and could even be said to be extremely unbelievable.

No wonder it took Di Qingyun a long time to regain his composure.

However, after reviewing the matter again, Xiao Mian really could not find any other reason to explain the series of abnormal reactions that happened to Qi Zhizhai.

Only Di Qingyun's statement can explain Qi Zhizhai's resignation.

Just because that was not Qi Zhizhai's original intention at all!

Success or failure, it’s up to you!

With his mind set, Xiao Mian strode out of the lobby.

Kong Yuanren and Chu Xuanji followed closely behind, followed by the scholar. His expression changed, but he did not dare to neglect and walked out of the hall.

Privately, the scholar even thought about the worst plan.

Even if he tried his best to offend the entire beast-servant group, he would still keep Xiao Mian!

Even if his reputation as Shang Huairen will be infamy for thousands of years, Xiao Mian cannot afford to lose it!

What's more, if what Di Qingyun said is true, what happened today is no longer about the honor and disgrace of Xiao Mian, but involves the life and death of the entire South Vietnamese Army!

One bad move and the South Vietnamese Army will be doomed!
