The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 256
“Divine Hand Han Lin always covers his face with a black veil and secludes himself in the alchemy room all year round. He rarely interacts with the outside world, so as long as he controls a person of a similar size, it’s hard for others to notice.”
Jiang Xi frowned and said, “Do you mean that Hua Bi’nan is fake?”
“Sometimes it’s real, sometimes it’s fake. If you don’t want to be discovered, it’s best to mix the real with the fake. ”
Jiang Xi thought and said, “If that’s the case, Shi Mingjing should know how to use the Exquisite Chess Game. However, our spiritual power is not strong enough, so it’s unlikely that we can master this kind of technique.”
“Sect Master Jiang is right. The Exquisite Chess Game requires a lot of spiritual power. Hua Bi’nan knows the theory, but because of his weak spiritual power, he can’t use it alone. So he had to conspire with Xu Shuanglin before … ”
Jiang Xi shook his head and said, “That’s not right. Xu Shuanglin once said that the person behind the scenes was his friend. Because he didn’t want to betray his friend, he didn’t tell us who that person was until he died. According to what you said, Shi Mei is Hua Bi’nan, so Xu Shuanglin should be able to recognize him. Then why didn’t Xu Shuanglin betray us after Hua Bi’nan destroyed the Enchantment of Rebirth? ”
Mo Ran said, “Because Xu Shuanglin didn’t know that Shi Mei and Hua Bi’nan were the same person.”
Master Xuanjing, who was beside them, said, “Since they were close friends, how could he not know such a big thing …”
“Xu Shuanglin treated Shi Mei as a close friend,” Mo Ran said, “but Shi Mei couldn’t really open his heart to him. On this chessboard, Xu Shuanglin is just an important chess piece, that’s all. ”
He paused and continued, “When Hua Bi’nan was injured in the main hall of Jiao Mountain, he took off his veil. That face was extremely ugly, like an echinoderm. Now that he thought about it, it was probably just an exquisitely made human skin mask. For Xu Shuanglin, he had probably only seen the first face of his’ best friend ‘, which was Shi Mei’s face. He would never associate Hua Bi’nan with Shi Mei. Therefore, even until his death, he did not think that he was framed or used by his friends. Naturally, he would not reveal the truth. ”
Jiang Xi said, “According to what you’re saying, when Shi Mingjing and Hua Bi’nan appeared at the same time on Jiao Mountain, one of them was a controlled chess piece?”
“I guess so. But there is a second possibility. ”
“What?”
Mo Ran shook his head. “I want to talk about the second possibility later.”
Master Xuanjing said, “Even if Benefactor Mo’s first possibility is correct, I still feel that there is something that doesn’t make sense. Hua Bi’nan has no reason to interrupt Xu Shuanglin’s rebirth formation. Could it be that he has a grudge against Xu Shuanglin? Could it be that letting Xu Shuanglin get what he wanted and let Luo Fenghua be reborn hurt him in some way? ”
Mo Ran sighed. “Master, have you forgotten the final result of Xu Shuanglin’s casting?”
The old bald donkey did not react for a moment and shook his head.
Mo Ran said, “From the opening of the Heavenly Fissure that day, Shi Mei did not teach Xu Shuanglin the real rebirth formation.”
“Ah …”
“He has been deceiving Xu Shuanglin all this time. Xu Shuanglin spent a lot of effort thinking that he was setting up a rebirth formation, but in fact, he was making a wedding dress for Hua Bi’nan, who did not have enough spiritual power. ”
“Then what did Hua Bi’nan teach …”
“It was the world’s number one forbidden technique,” Mo Ran paused and finally said, “what he taught Xu Shuanglin was the Gate of Life and Death.”
“！”
Those who had participated in the battle on Jiao Mountain could not help but recall the black hole in the sky and the thousands of mysterious cultivators that came out of it …
Was that the Gate of Life and Death?
Mo Ran said, “This is the second possibility I just mentioned. As long as the Gate of Life and Death exists, both Hua Bi’nan and Shi Mei could be real. It’s just that one belongs to this world of mortals and the other comes from another world of cultivators. ”
After hearing this, everyone was silent. Then someone slapped his leg and laughed. “Grandmaster Mo, are you trying to coax a child to sleep? Using this kind of mythical forbidden technique to scare people. Two Shi Mingjing … Hahahahaha! I’m dying of laughter. ”
“That’s right, how is that possible? That’s a forbidden technique that has been lost for thousands of years … Who can learn it?”
“The most important scroll of the Gate of Life and Death is said to have been sealed in the Divine Wood of Yan Di long ago. Even if someone studied this forbidden technique, the most they could learn was space, not time. Otherwise, if one world overlapped with another, wouldn’t the world be in chaos? ”
Mo Ran did not argue with them. Instead, he told them all his thoughts. He knew that this was probably the last time he confessed as Grandmaster Mo. After today, these people might not give him a chance to explain anything in the future.
He used his confession as a bargaining chip in exchange for these people to calm down a little. He only hoped that he could tell everyone what he knew and guessed. Regardless of whether they believed it or not, what he said was a warning bell. If there was trouble in the future, more or less people would remember his warning today. Perhaps it was not too late.
“Everyone, think about it. If I were Hua Bi’nan, and I knew the essence of the exquisite chess game and the Gate of Life and Death, but I was born with insufficient spiritual power and did not have the status to do anything. What would I do?”
Most of the people present had a grudge against Mo Ran and were not willing to listen to his advice.
But Jiang Xi admired Mo Ran because of some of the things that had happened before. Not to mention, he was also suspicious about the murder of Lonemoon’s Night. Therefore, after thinking seriously for a while, he said, “… I will find someone to help.”
“Who would help you?”
“No one.”
Mo Ran said, “Yes, there is no one, so I can only lie. Lie to someone like Xu Shuanglin, who has a great desire in his heart, to help him complete his plan step by step. ”
Master Xuan Jing said, “Benefactor Mo is ridiculous. Can’t that array be something else? The Gate of Life and Death is not something that ordinary people can learn. For thousands of years, no one has ever learned it. The most important part of the book has already been lost. Who would be able to learn it? ”
“That’s right. This is simply a fantasy.”
“Why don’t you just say that the Great God Fuxi has descended? This is no different from the Gate of Life and Death opening.”
“It’s really ridiculous. Even storytellers don’t dare to say that.”
The Dan Xin Palace was buzzing. In the end, someone sneered and said, “Grandmaster Mo, after such a long preparation, are you going to tell us that the one who killed all the heroes on the night of the lone moon is the other you who came to this world through the Gate of Life and Death?”
Mo Ran, “…”
Seeing that he did not say anything, someone in the palace laughed, “Amazing, really amazing. In order to exonerate himself, Grandmaster Mo is really willing to make up any excuse. ”
“So, after beating around the bush for so long, you want to clear your name?”
Jiang Xi could not stand the noise. He turned around and said angrily to the people who were leading the crowd, “Just speak. Why are you being so sarcastic?”
Master Xuan Jing put his palms together and said, “Master Jiang, it’s not that we’re being sarcastic. It’s just that Grandmaster Mo’s words are too unbelievable. In my opinion, we should invite him to the Heavenly Music Pavilion for interrogation before making a decision. ”
“Yes, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Music Pavilion will be here soon. When she comes, let Grandmaster Mo go with her.”
Before Jiang Xi could say anything, Xue Zhengyong spoke. Although he had mixed feelings, he still said, “I think what Ran said makes sense. Maybe the Gate of Space and Time has really been torn. The Heavenly Music Pavilion is a place to interrogate heinous criminals. He can’t go with you before we find out the truth. ”
“That’s right!” A disciple at the Peak of Life and Death stood out, “Jiao Mountain was on the brink of death. If Senior Brother Mo didn’t save you, you wouldn’t be standing here. If he wanted to overturn the cultivation world, he could’ve just trapped everyone on Jiao Mountain! ”
Master Xuan Jing was stunned. “This …”
Someone said, “That’s true. At that time, everyone was trapped in the Jiao Mountain Tunnel. It was Grandmaster Mo who tried to get us out. If he wanted to harm people, he could’ve done it then.”
These words were true. Many people thought about this question and were silent for a while.
But silence didn’t mean agreement. Many people present were still wearing mourning clothes at this moment. Their relatives and friends had just died, and they were extremely sad. What’s more, the survivors in the Jiao Mountain Flower Hall had seen Mo Ran kill people with their own eyes. Among the witnesses, except for Mei Hanxue, who expressed doubts about the situation at that time, everyone else was sure that it was Mo Ran himself. Under such circumstances, it was easier said than done for them to give up looking for Mo Ran and instead believe in the Gate of Life and Death that had only appeared in myths.
So soon, someone retorted, “But I feel very uncomfortable about this matter. Don’t you remember? On Mount Huang, Grandmaster Mo’s control of the entire situation and the Exquisite Chess Game was extremely accurate. He said that Shi Mingjing knew the Exquisite Chess Game, but I feel that the person who knows a lot about this forbidden technique is himself. ”
“That’s right.” After the rebuttal, someone immediately echoed, “There’s one more thing. Don’t you think it’s strange? Why can Mo Ran open the enchantment of Jiao Mountain? He’s not a descendant of the Nangong family. ”
At this time, a woman’s voice suddenly came from outside the Dan Xin Hall.
“There’s nothing strange about this. Because the blood flowing in Grandmaster Mo’s body is the blood of the Nangong family. ”
Everyone suddenly turned their heads and saw a group of guards wearing silver-green clothes and a silver medal with the word “Heaven” on their waists charging straight in. The leader was a beautiful woman who looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and her hair was like a flower. She was extremely beautiful and could even be compared to the number one beauty of the cultivation world, Song Qiutong. However, although she was beautiful, her temperament was very cold.
When everyone saw her, most of them changed their expressions. Even the leaders had a look of awe on their faces.
Only Jiang Xi didn’t have much of a reaction. She nodded and said, “The Pavilion Master is finally here.”
This woman was the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Music Pavilion, Mu Yanli, who hadn’t shown up in Jianghu for a long time.
Mu Yanli was in charge of the Heavenly Music Pavilion. All the serious cases in the Cultivation World would eventually fall into her hands and she would preside over the trial. However, there weren’t many cases that required the Heavenly Music Pavilion’s involvement, so the leader of the Heavenly Music Pavilion usually didn’t show up in public for ten or twenty years.
Because she didn’t go out often, Mu Yanli’s skin was very white, and the light blue veins under her skin could be seen faintly. She walked into the hall and stopped, saying lightly, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Master Xuanjing asked, “Pavilion Master, you’re a bit later than the appointed time. Did something happen in the pavilion?”
Mu Yanli shook her head. “That’s not the case. The Heavenly Music Pavilion never catches people without evidence. Therefore, before we came here, we thoroughly investigated the past of the Peak of Life and Death, Grandmaster Mo. ”
She paused and looked at Mo Ran coldly with her almond-shaped eyes. Her red lips moved slightly. “After this investigation, we found that things weren’t as simple as they seemed. The identity of this Grandmaster Mo … was actually related to an old case in Xiangtan from many years ago.”
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. “What old case?”
Only Mo Ran’s face turned pale, and his palms were sweating.
He didn’t expect that this matter would be revealed at this moment.
Mu Yanli was like an executioner. She looked at the man kneeling in front of the hall coldly and said, “Mo Xianjun, let’s not talk about this. You know your own background. Do you want to tell the public yourself, or do you want me to invite a witness into the hall? ”
“…” Mo Ran closed his eyes.
When he was reborn, he knew that if he wanted to live a carefree life, there were a few people in this world that he had to kill with his own hands to prevent future troubles. But in the beginning, he didn’t have the strength and opportunity. Later, when he had the strength and opportunity, he was no longer willing to take other people’s lives for his own personal gain.
In his previous life, in order to hide his own background, he had killed enough people to hold on to the bargaining chips in his hands.
Mu Yanli saw that he was silent, so she said, “It seems that Grandmaster Mo doesn’t intend to confess.”
After she finished speaking, her cold and beautiful face showed a trace of undisguised contempt. Then, she turned around and faced the crowd. Her voice was like a bell, penetrating people’s hearts.
“Then let me say it. Everyone, listen — this famous Grandmaster, before he entered the Peak of Life and Death, was already a murderer who took dozens of lives. Such a vicious person should have been brought to justice long ago! ”
“What?!”
“Before he entered the sect, he had already killed dozens of people?”
Xue Meng opened his eyes wide, full of confusion. He muttered, “Brother …?”
His voice was neither soft nor loud, but it just happened to fall into Mu Yanli’s ears. Mu Yanli glanced at the young master of the Peak of Life and Death, and said indifferently, “Brother?”
Xue Meng, “…”
The rain and snow outside were getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was getting darker and darker. Even though the hall was brightly lit, it was pressuring him to the point where he couldn’t breathe.
Mu Yanli looked at Mo Ran with contempt, but looked at Xue Meng with ridicule. Her lips were like rosy clouds, and she said, “Young Master Xue is really pitiful to recognize a foe as a brother.”
Xue Meng obviously didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence, but his brain was already roaring like thunder, as if the earth was splitting and the sky was collapsing. He opened his clear eyes and took a step back, “What … what do you mean by recognizing a foe as a brother?”
His whole body began to tremble, “What nonsense are you talking about …?”
Mu Yanli ignored him, turned around and said, “Mo Weiyu is not Sect Leader Xue’s nephew. What’s more. ” She paused, and her pair of beautiful and emotionless eyes were like sharp knives, sweeping past Xue Zhengyong and Madam Wang’s faces. She said, not without fairness, not without cruelty,
“Sect Leader Xue’s nephew died at the hands of Mo Ran eight years ago!”
