Dust roots [comprehension]

After the "but" is the reason why Daoyi has come to where he is now, everyone present cheered up and listened to him.

"But I came to Pingyang the year before last and saw him," Dao Yi's voice stopped, "I saw him let a male cultivator lean on his shoulder."

Shi Jiazi, who seemed extremely resistant when Dao Yi confessed, formed a Taoist partner with another male cultivator more than ten years later.

Ten years is very short for monks, but in this short time, many people have become completely different.

Of course Daoyi wanted to ask about those two people, and he did so easily.

"There are no secrets in Pingyang, and many people know about them."

It is a popular, happy-go-lucky, story-telling story, which can be summed up in one sentence - the son of a family who was supposed to be married to another family found his true love in the marketplace, and the two finally got married after a difficult struggle and lived a happy life. A happy life for Xinfu.

The point of Daoyi's question is: "Does he like men?"

"Little brother, you are narrowing it down. What a cultivator seeks is the harmony of spirit and soul. How can he be limited by gender?"

If the aristocratic family doesn't care about men and women, then his resistance and disgust at the beginning were aimed at Dao Yi.

This news is like a bolt from the blue to Dao Yi, he is disgusted by the person he regards as a friend?

In order to prove that the drug he made was really effective, Daoyi swallowed the powder in front of the elders of the Eight Sects. There was a stubborn stubbornness in his character, and this stubbornness supported him for two years. Through repeated means, I learned the real reason why Shi Jiazi rejected him.

The aristocratic family disliked his low status, low cultivation level, and his ugly appearance.

"His current Taoist companion has a lower status than me, and his cultivation level can barely pass, but that face is really pretty." Daoyi laughed hoarsely, "Is it okay to be hated because of his ugly looks? reason?"

"Beautiful women with dry bones, all beings are equal, monks cultivate their hearts, and don't care about appearances..." Daoyi spat, "It's all bullshit."

"If it's just because I'm not good-looking and I'm rejected, I'll admit it. After all, liking this kind of thing can't be measured by reason. But——" This is the second "but" in Dao's mouth.

Song Huaichen continued: "But he used you."

The son of the family obviously doesn't like Dao Yi, but he uses Dao Yi's liking for him to let Dao Yi take risks for him and end a karma he doesn't like.

"Thinking about it later, he said that the girl has a sweetheart, but it may not be true." Daoyi was stunned, maybe there was also a family's handwriting in it.

Daoyi failed to find out this point. What he found out was that after he was arrested, Shi Jiazi remained indifferent and did not try to rescue him.

Lu Tingyun couldn't agree with Daoyi: "Then you should take revenge on that family member instead of ruining so many innocent people."

"They're not innocent." It was Chi Gu who spoke, and he spoke in a calm voice, "When I mentioned Shi Jiazi and his Taoist companions earlier, everyone's evaluation was that monks realized their hearts, and they don't need to care about men and women. This is just some people. More people still think that Yin and Yang need to be reconciled, but because the son of the family is the son of the family after all, very few people say bad things in front of him."

"The other protagonist's face also contributed a lot." Dao Yi sneered, "There is more than one person in Pingyang City who likes men, but for others, the reputation is a different story."

Di Rongshan asked with great interest: "The ones you're confused about are all watching people order?"

Dao nodded his head. He spent a lot of effort to find out the real reason why Shi Jiazi rejected him, and established a lot of information channels. These channels are also very convenient for checking other things.

Song Huaichen: "Lu Tingyun too?"

Lu Tingyun: "..." He was almost wronged to death, "Of course I am not!"

"He's not, he's a good man." Dao Yi lowered his eyes and whispered, "A good man who is liked by many people."

"I always feel that this 'loved good man' comes out of your mouth, and I always feel that the taste is wrong." Song Huaichen's tone was a little casually teasing, but his posture was sitting very straight.Joking on the surface, but serious in fact.

Di Rongshan glanced at Song Huaichen, then turned to look at Lu Tingyun, who had a somewhat anxious expression on his face.

Then Di Rongshan couldn't help laughing: "Interesting."

Everyone turned their heads because of his laughter. Song Huaichen was the most transparent. Seeing his expression, he glanced at Lu Tingyun from the corner of his eye. He knew he had been spotted, but he didn't hide it. He licked the corner of his mouth at Di Rongshan. With a provocative smile: "Really?"

"Really" was the reply to Di Rongshan, Song Huaichen turned his gaze away, and then said these two words smoothly to Daoyi: "I don't find it interesting. Since he is a good person, why did you arrest him? "

"Because I want to know, if I were replaced by Lu Tingyun, how things would change?" Daoyi raised his head and looked at Song Huaichen bitterly, "Lu Tingyun is innocent, he will be soul-searched, Or do you just plan and form a Taoist partner with the other party?"

Song Huaichen asked: "What do you hope for?"

"Me?" Dao smiled, "I hope it's the latter."

"Because in this way, I can prove that I did nothing wrong."

"Why is it the City Lord's Mansion?" Di Rongshan asked two questions in succession, "Why is Chi Gu there?"

Dao Yi's answer was not so straightforward, he began to hesitate, lowered his eyes, pursed his lips unconsciously - he was thinking about how to answer.

Di Rongshan would not allow him to think, but it was not in line with his current status—as an observer of the restaurant owner, he had already said too much—Di Rongshan put his hands behind his back and rushed to the head of the main seat. The clerk made a gesture.

Unknowingly, the document that had been reduced to the background was about to speak, but was robbed by Song Huaichen.

"Before that, answer me a question," Song Huaichen asked, "Where is Lu Tingyun's sword?"

Daoyi raised his head: "Sword?" He looked at Song Huaichen with ironic eyes.

Song Huaichen saw his expression, and smiled directly: "Why, do you think I asked you to ask for Lu Tingyun's sword to make it easier for him to be here and kill you with one sword?"

Lu Tingyun said righteously: "I will not do things that disturb the court."

Chi Gu said in a low voice: "Then what happened to the court?"

Lu Tingyun looked over in surprise, surprised that Yu Chigu would say such words: "I believe that Pingyang City will give everyone justice and will not do such a stupid thing."

Chi Gu bowed his head and fell silent.

Song Huaichen asked again: "Where's the sword?"

"It's in my Sumeru bag."

Song Huaichen stood up, untied the sumeru bag around his waist, and then loosened the spiritual power ropes that bound Dao Yi so that his hands could move.

As soon as Dao opened the sumeru bag, he honestly took out Lu Tingyun's sword and handed it to Song Huaichen, who raised his hand and returned the sword to Lu Tingyun.

"Thank you." Lu Tingyun thanked him sincerely.

Song Huaichen then helped Daoyi tie the sumeru bag back, tied his hands, and then sat back by himself.

The document brought the topic back: "Why did you bring Lu Tingyun to Pingyang Dungeon?"

Dao thought about it and answered: "Because it's not easy to be found there."

The clerk continued to ask: "Why is Chi Gu there?"

"Because I don't want him to be found out."

"Why did you hide Chigu?"

"I hid him early in the morning." Dao Yi's answer this time is no longer a simple sentence, "Senior Brother Chi Gu is close to me, I don't want him to know what I'm doing, so I simply obsessed him Halo. Pingyang Dungeon is heavily guarded, but on the other hand it is a very safe place, I can rest assured putting him there."

Di Rongshan used the clerk's mouth to tell the discrepancy between his discovery and Daoyi's statement: "But when we found him, he was awake, there was no sign of being drugged, and he had already walked out of the cell .”

"By the way, the layout of the cell is exactly the same as that of Lu Tingyun's. The barrier is just a decoration, and Chi Gu's spiritual power has not been sealed. How do you feel at ease?"

"You said you stunned Chi Gu to prevent him from knowing what you were doing, but now it seems that he knows everything about what you did, and he even knows that the people you killed were not innocent." Huang After listening for a long time, the pharmacist felt that there must be a problem between Dao Yichi and Gu.

The Lord of Pingyang became impatient: "I still refuse to tell the truth, why don't I search for the soul?" He made a very irresponsible speech, "Dao Yi was searched once and the soul survived. Are you okay?"

The clerk did not speak, but expressed a contemplative gesture of thinking with facial expressions and body language.

This is the provocative general, and the provocative one is Chi Gu.

The agitation worked, and Chi Gu became excited: "Searching the soul has caused great damage to the sea of ​​consciousness and there is no way to heal it. Although Daoyi is alive now, he has been enduring the pain. If it happens again, it happens again..." He couldn't continue .

The clerk shouted: "If you don't want Dao to be searched, tell the truth!"

The two kneeling on the ground did not speak, and Song Huaichen stood up for the second time.

"Don't tell me, or just listen to me." Everyone's eyes were focused on it.

"From the very beginning, you knew that I was the one who rescued Lu Tingyun from the dungeon. However, outside the dungeon, Lu Tingyun came in with the people from the City Lord's Mansion. You could only see me in the dungeon, so you were there at the time .”

"You found out that Lu Tingyun was gone, but you didn't take the next step. It's because I attracted the attention of the patrolmen. You didn't dare to make small moves in front of them, so you couldn't stop Chi Gu from coming out of the cell."

"The layout of Chigu's cell is the same as that of Lu Tingyun's, which means that he can know where Lu Tingyun is at a glance. The restriction is in vain. Chigu can save people, or—"

Song Huaichen squatted down, looked at the two people who were looking down at the ground, and refused to meet his gaze: "—Can't help it?"

Lu Tingyun's face turned pale: "Friend Song Daoist!" He was so angry that he didn't even call "Brother Song".

Chi Gu and Dao Yi didn't respond, Song Huaichen pressed the last straw: "There is Zhancao in Lu Tingyun's room, you all know what Zhancao is for, right?"

"Lu Tingyun is liked by many people, is Chi Gu one of them? Daoyi, you were forced to do the good deed of 'adult beauty' before, but this time, you did it willingly, right?"

The two kneeling were silent, the silence was very short, but no matter how short it was, it implied acquiescence when Song Huaichen repeatedly asked questions.

Chi Gu shook his whole body, turned his head very slowly, and in a tone of great shock and disbelief, he called out to his junior brother in a trembling voice: "Dao Yi?"
