Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

No need to call, the subordinates of Jinghong Villa immediately protected him, completely cut off other people's thoughts of snatching the secret book, Qin Wuqi looked around the crowd, suppressed the anger in his heart and said loudly: "Everyone! Can you calm down for a while? For a broken book that does not know the authenticity, wouldn't it be a joke for the Red Lotus Sect to see for nothing?"

Tianhe Daoist sighed softly, and he didn't know whether to blame or comfort him and said to Mu Liuyun: "Junior Brother Tianxuan, don't be so impulsive."

Mu Liuyun still looked at everyone with a chilling look.

There were also many people present who thought their martial arts were not weak, and they were famous figures in the Jianghu. Of course, they were not willing to be scared off by him like this, and they were about to make trouble.

Zhang Chi quickly took the opportunity to speak: "Everyone, please listen to me, this cheat book cannot be true at all. This is completely a conspiracy designed by the Red Lotus Sect to lure us to kill each other."

Given the intelligence and insight he's shown just now, there are still some people who are willing to believe what he's saying now, but people still ask, "How do you know it's not true?"

There are also some people who don't believe it at all: "That's right, how do we know that you didn't say that just to embezzle the 'Danshu Shenjuan'!"

In a hurry, Zhang Chi took the secret book from Qin Wuqi, and Qin Wuqi let him go. Zhang Chi shook the pages of the book for everyone to see: "Have you ever seen an old book that has been out for more than ten or twenty years? If it is not carefully preserved, it will be moth-eaten, weathered, and corrupted, not to mention it has been more than 20 years, and it is still so humid here that even the corpse has rotted to the point where only bones are left, but this secret book is still intact. is it possible?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, surprised that they hadn't noticed such an obvious flaw at all, but they had to admit decisively that they broke their heads only to fight for a worthless fake, but no one could save face.

The head of the Iron Sword Sect said in a low voice: "However, such precious things as martial arts secret books may also be written on some special non-perishable paper, which cannot be compared with ordinary books."

Zhang Chi said: "Well, even if this is some kind of non-perishable paper, it will still be the same as new after 100 years, but the Red Lotus Sect has come and gone so many times in this secret road, They didn't pick up this secret book, do you think they are saints who didn't pick up lost things on the way, or are they blind?"

The head of the Eight Diagrams Sect refused to give up and said: "This cave is intricate and complicated. We can't see any human traces along the way. Maybe the Red Lotus Sect didn't explore this area at all, or they were negligent and didn't find the corpses in this corner. .”

Zhang Chi retorted: "Even if the Red Lotus Sect has never been to this corner, think about it again, if this is really Duguye and the 'Danshu Shenjuan', they should have been in this cave more than 100 years ago Jinghong Mountain Villa has only been built for more than [-] years. What a wise and powerful person Ye Laozhuang is, how could he dig a secret path leading directly to the inner courtyard here without carefully exploring this cave? Do you want to say that the group of people who built the secret path back then were all blind?"

"But..." Some people still don't give up, "Could it be that this is not Duguye at all, but someone else got this secret book by accident, entered this secret path after Jinghong Villa was built, and died in the end Here it is. Anyway, the bones have been rotted clean, how can you tell whether it is 50 years, 60 years or 100 years?"

"The problem lies in the 'too rotten'. I don't know if anyone here has seen old bones, human hair, skin, clothes, etc., although they will rot quickly, it is absolutely impossible for everything to be rotten. No. As long as it is a normal decaying bone, no matter how many years have passed, there will always be some clotted lumps between the bone and the ground, or residues like dried mud and dirt, either stuck to the bone or stuck to the ground. The ground next to it is absolutely impossible to be so clean. Unless this bone was taken from somewhere else and placed here specially, as for who put it here and why, don’t you guys still have any idea? "

Zhang Chi analyzed these flaws one by one, and he spoke logically. If he insisted on sophistry, he would undoubtedly be showing his stupidity. Unfortunately, some people still refused to give up: "Even if what you said makes sense, what if Is it true...?"

Zhang Chi was almost pissed off by the brains of these people: "Are you willing to believe that the Red Lotus Church kindly put a real 'Spiritual Book of Alchemy' here? You know it's fake but you still want to snatch it back and practice accordingly. Aren't you afraid of going crazy?"

Everyone looked at each other and stopped talking. The head of the Qingcheng faction coughed twice in embarrassment, as if he had never snatched it just now, and asked very calmly: "I don't know what Qin Zhuangzhu plans to do with this fake cheat book?"

Everyone looked at Qin Wuqi in unison. Obviously, many people still thought that this cheat book might be true, and made up their minds that "Qin Wuqi and Zhang Chi conspired to tell the truth as a lie and swallow it all by themselves." However, Qin Wuqi took the book generously and said, "Since it is a fake, why keep it, Qin will burn it."

As he spoke, he reached out to take a torch from one of his subordinates, but Zhang Chi stopped him and said, "Master Qin, wait a moment."

Qin Wuqi looked at him puzzled, and Zhang Chi said: "When I flipped through this book just now, it felt sticky and slippery, which is not the normal paper should have. This book is probably soaked in something oily. , there must be a reason for the Red Lotus Sect to make such an unnecessary move, beware of fraud."

"Is there poison in the book?" Master Miaoyin asked in surprise.

Those who have touched the books just now hurriedly exercised their kung fu to check their bodies, or ran to the underground river to wash their hands.

"It shouldn't be poisonous." Zhang Chi said, "The main purpose of the Red Lotus Sect to set up this game is to attract everyone to kill each other. If the book is soaked in poison that can poison people by touching it, take it. People who have read the cheat book will quickly realize it, and you will immediately know that this thing is fraudulent, so naturally you will not be able to fight it. And as far as I know, all poisons that can be poisoned by contact are not so powerful. Poison, everyone is a master of internal skills, it is easy to force out or suppress the poison. I guess the person who set up the game probably even expected that after we found out that the cheat book was fake, we would burn the book in public to avoid suspicion. Yes, it should be something that happens only when it is ignited."

Jiang Shi took the secret book and sniffed it: "You're right, this book is soaked in castor oil, and the smoke produced after it is ignited will cause chronic poisoning and death. Unconscious assassination, the poisoned person will lose their hair and teeth within half a year, and bleed under the skin, looking like they died of a strange disease. But the smoke from such a book will only make you dizzy and nauseated for a while at most, it is not enough consider."

"I believe that if they really have a poison that can kill people when they get up, they will definitely use it. Will they be polite? But even if the power of this poison is limited, those who are not dead can still be hit. Everyone's confidence." Zhang Chi frowned and said, "Who on earth came up with such a sinister and vicious scheme?"

"These schemes are intertwined, making it impossible to guard against. I think it is very likely that Wei Fantian is personally planning and executing them." Qin Wuqi said indifferently, "Setting fires will not kill the flag. If they are discovered, they will lure the enemy deeper. The trap will not work. Just use this fake cheat to cause a dispute, even if this trick is seen through, it is still possible that we will burn the cheat on the spot in order to calm the dispute and avoid suspicion. Now that the Red Lotus Sect has taken the lead, we are passive every step of the way, and we don’t know what will happen next What kind of tricks are waiting for us, hmph! He thinks he can scare us away by using these tricks, he is delusional, and when Wei Fantian is found out, he will definitely make him look good!"

"Yes! Make him look good!" Everyone responded one after another, filled with righteous indignation.

Tianhe Daoist sighed softly again.

He could tell that Zhang Chi was a young man who couldn't hold his breath. He had already explained everything he needed to explain, and he had already slapped all the faces he needed to slap. He didn't show any mercy to the seniors present. After all the things that offended people were done, Qin Wuqi stood up and sang a bad face, accusing Wei Fantian of insidiousness and cunning, and blamed all the conflicts caused by everyone's greed and stupidity on Wei Fantian, and everyone borrowed Slope down the donkey, turned the spearhead, as if the fight just now had never happened, and once again united to target this heinous big devil.

If we only talk about martial arts, there is at least the extremely talented Mu Liuyun in Shangqing Palace who can compete with Qin Wuqi, but when it comes to controlling people's hearts, I am afraid that there is not a single disciple in all schools who can be Qin Wuqi's opponent , which made him a little worried about the future of Shangqing Palace.

While the crowd was still denouncing Wei Fantian's cunning and viciousness, Mu Liuyun turned his head and left the crowd.

His patience has reached its limit, and he really doesn't want to be with these people for a moment.

"Junior Brother..." Tianhe Daoist shouted worriedly from behind.

Mu Liuyun took a deep breath of the cool air in the cave, and then let it out slowly, his voice at least regained his calm on the surface: "I know, I will endure."

***

Even if it can't be burned, the fake cheats must still be destroyed in public, so as not to fall into the trap. Under everyone's attention, Qin Wuqi rubbed the fake cheats vigorously in the palm of his hand, until it was crushed into fingernail-sized pieces , Such a pure internal force made many people secretly dumbfounded.

He raised his hands, and the fragments fell into the underground river next to him. The water in the underground river was only as deep as his knees, but it was very fast. In an instant, even if all the fragments were found, they might not be able to be put back together. without a trace.

"Just in case, Master Qin should come over and wash your hands." Zhang Chi, who had touched the secret book just now, had already washed his hands carefully in the underground river, and other people who had touched the secret book did the same.

Afterwards, no matter what kind of pimples they had in their hearts, at least on the surface, they started to explore together again, but this time, many people were extremely vigilant, always feeling that Wei Fantian might be under the torchlight. Watching them secretly in the dark.

Mu Liuyun's face was as sinking as water, and his well-shaped lips were tightly pursed into a serious arc. Although Mu Liuyun did endure and did not continue to get angry after that, everyone consciously avoided him and dared not approach him within five feet of you.

Of course, they wouldn't think that they were afraid of Mu Liuyun, but facing such a bad-tempered and murderous person, it would be better if they could avoid it.

Except for Zhang Chi, who still rushed forward shamelessly.

Bad temper?Murderous?Just kidding, he had already fully experienced Mu Liuyun on the first day he knew him.

"Liuyun, Liuyun, don't be angry, okay, you're so scary, it makes my heart tremble tremblingly."

"Liuyun, talk to me, I'm almost bored to death, really."

"Liuyun, do you think that stalagmite looks like a dog?"

"Liuyun..."

Even though Mu Liuyun ignored him and his face remained gloomy, Zhang Chi didn't show the slightest sign of being discouraged or retreating. Even Tianhe Daoist was very surprised by the degree of shamelessness.

What surprised him even more was that Mu Liuyun didn't slap him away or seal his noisy mouth with Zhang Chi's constant pestering, and even his gloomy expression eased a lot. He even began to answer Zhang Chi's words.

Tianhe Daoist, who thought he knew a little about his junior's temper, couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi a few more times.
