The Husky and His White Cat Shizun - Chap 91
In the main hall, this person was wearing a snow-white robe. He stood with his hands behind his back, his long sleeves reaching the ground. His expression seemed dignified and serious, but his eyes were slightly raised and his eyelashes drooped slightly. There was disdain and arrogance in his politeness.
Li Wuxin did not expect Elder Yu Heng to be him. In an instant, his expression changed. “Chu, Chu …”
Chu Wanning calmly said, “Manor Head Li, I trust you’ve been well since we last met.”
“Why is it you!” Li Wuxin, who had a glib tongue just now, was speechless for a long time. His face was as pale as wax. “After you left the Confucian Wind Sect, there was no news of you. We thought you were going to travel the world. Who knew that you would actually … actually cast pearls before swine!”
Chu Wanning sneered. His eyes were cold. “Thank you for thinking so highly of me.”
“…”
“Alright, let’s not talk too much. Let’s talk business first. I heard that you think I killed five hundred residents of Colorful Butterfly Town to practice black magic. This was not my doing, but since Manor Head Li came all the way here, you must have misunderstood. I still have important matters to attend to, so I won’t be accompanying you to the Heavenly Music Pavilion. If you have any questions, you can ask me here. ”
After he finished speaking, he was too lazy to stand. With a wave of his sleeve, he sat down at the Elders’ table. The Magi Mountain Palace had prepared special seats for every elder. Chu Wanning’s seat was to the left of Xue Zhengyong. It was covered with a thin bamboo mat, and half of the bamboo curtain was hanging down. Compared to Elder Lu Cun’s fancy seat, which was full of fresh flowers, it was too plain.
All these years, although Chu Wanning had not deliberately concealed his identity, he had always kept a low profile. Thus, although the younger generation of the Blue Pool Manor had heard of him, they did not know how powerful he was. However, Li Wuxin was different. He had been in Jianghu for many years. How could he not know of Wanye Yuheng’s illustrious reputation?
He clenched his fists in his sleeves and glanced at Young Master Chang from the corner of his eyes.
If he had not accepted Chang Family’s money, he would not have taken on this difficult task. He originally thought that Elder Yu Heng, who stood at the pinnacle of life and death, was just a nameless cultivator. Who would have thought that he was actually Chu Wanning, who had not shown himself for a long time!
If he had known that it was him, he wouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess no matter how many benefits he was offered. But now, he couldn’t advance or retreat. What should he do?
Li Wuxin’s expression did not change, but he was complaining incessantly in his heart.
It just so happened that one of his direct disciples didn’t understand the situation and thought that this Elder Yu Heng was being unreasonable, so his Master didn’t know how to deal with it for a while. Thinking himself clever, he stepped forward and said, “Elder Chu, have you ever been to Colorful Butterfly Town to subdue demons?”
Chu Wanning looked up and glanced at him. “Not bad.”
“Then, was that ghost bride also the evil that you suppressed?”
“You mean Luo Xianxian?”
“I …” That youth was at a loss for words. He only knew that the evil spirit who went berserk in Colorful Butterfly Town was a ghost bride, but he didn’t know anything else. Therefore, when Chu Wanning asked him a question, he couldn’t answer. He could only blush and say, “In short, it’s a female ghost! Why are you asking so many questions? She was very young, about 15 or 16 years old. How many brides in a town have died unjustly? ”
Chu Wanning sneered. “Colorful Butterfly Town has a ghost wedding as a custom. There are at least 50 ghost brides, if not 100. I really don’t know which one you’re talking about.”
“You —”
“What do you mean by ‘you’ and ‘me’? Unruly disciple, step back! ”
After scolding the disciple who stepped forward, Li Wuxin put on a pleasant face and said to Chu Wanning, “Grandmaster Chu, this is my disciple’s first time out of the mountain, so he doesn’t know the rules. Please don’t take offense. The ghost bride he was talking about is indeed Luo Xianxian. ”
Chu Wanning slightly frowned. “Luo Xianxian’s wronged spirit went berserk?”
“Yes.” Li Wuxin sighed. “That female ghost lost her mind. Not only did she kill the entire Chen family, but she also started a massacre in the town. When I led my disciples to suppress her, there were almost no living people in Colorful Butterfly Town. ”
Chu Wanning muttered, “How could this be …”
“I heard that the one who was involved in this matter was Elder Yu Heng of the Peak of Life and Death. Something fishy happened, so I came here. In addition, in Colorful Butterfly Town, I also obtained two things. Grandmaster Chu, I hope you can take a closer look and see if they are related to you. ”
As he spoke, he first took out a piece of blood-stained yellow silk from his sleeve and was about to hand it to Chu Wanning.
Unexpectedly, Xue Meng stepped in front of him and said unhappily, “Give it to me!”
“This …”
“My Shizun is a clean freak. He doesn’t like to touch things that have been touched by outsiders!”
Xue Meng was exaggerating. In fact, Chu Wanning was just unwilling to touch things that had been touched by people he hated. He really wasn’t a clean freak. However, Chu Wanning didn’t like Li Wuxin, so he just let Xue Meng be. He didn’t say much and just lowered his eyes to drink the hot tea that Shi Mei offered.
Li Wuxin suppressed his anger, but there was nothing he could do. He could only sneer and hand the yellow silk to Xue Meng.
Under the candlelight, everyone was watching.
Chu Wanning unfolded the silk and glanced at it. His expression changed.
“Crossing Spell …”
“That’s right. Grandmaster Chu, according to my investigation, Luo Xianxian’s vengeful spirit was temporarily sealed by you. Before you left, you gave a copy of the Crossing Spell to the only daughter of the Chen family and asked her family to copy it every day for ten years, right? ”
“That’s right.”
“Then this Crossing Spell is Grandmaster Chu’s handwriting, right?”
“… That’s right.”
“But Grandmaster Chu, your copy of the Crossing Spell has an extra rune at the end of every chapter. What does that mean? Don’t tell me you don’t know?” Li Wuxin’s voice suddenly became louder.
“The Myriad Waves Rune is a Counter Spell! — Every time the Chen family finished copying a copy of the Crossing Spell, they would draw a Counter Spell, which forcibly turned the Crossing Spell into a curse that harms people. It will break the seal and make Luo Xianxian’s vengeful spirit go berserk! No one in the Chen family knows this. Except for Elder Yu Heng, who personally gave the silk to them, I can’t think of a second person who can teach them to draw such a powerful spell! ”
“Old man, don’t slander me!” Xue Meng was furious. “If my Shizun wanted to kill them, he wouldn’t have to beat around the bush! What Positive and Counter Spells? Can’t the handwriting be imitated? You suspect that my Shizun drew it, but I suspect that you secretly drew it on the way and used it to frame others! ”
Li Wuxin put on a fake smile and said, “Young Master Xue Meng, why are you interrupting when the elders are talking?”
Xue Zhengyong said, “Villa Master Li, you’re being biased by saying that this is Yu Heng’s doing based on a piece of silk. My son is right. Handwriting can be imitated. If someone wants to frame Yu Heng, they can just copy his rune a few times and it will be very similar. ”
“Then we have to ask where Grandmaster Chu has such an old enemy who would spend so much effort to frame him.”
Mo Ran, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly laughed.
Li Wuxin looked at him and thought of his vulgar remarks just now. He couldn’t help but frown. “What are you laughing at?”
“I’m laughing at how you’ve forgotten one thing after discussing for so long.”
Xue Zhengyong asked curiously, “What is it? Ran Er, what did you think of? ”
“Although I don’t study much, I have some understanding of the Myriad Waves Incantation and I know how to draw it.” Mo Ran smiled. “Look, isn’t this the right one?”
As he spoke, he condensed a wisp of red spiritual energy on his fingertips. He leaned against the pillar leisurely and spread it in the air. After a while, an exquisite incantation of the Myriad Waves Incantation was reflected in the air. It was as beautiful as a firework.
Xue Meng said in surprise, “You bastard, you’re amazing. When did you learn it?”
Mo Ran smiled. “It’s in Shizun’s book. I thought it was fun so I wrote it down.”
As he spoke, he casually tapped the bright red incantation and made it slowly rise into the air, above everyone’s heads. The red inscriptions flickered blurrily, overflowing with bits of light.
“What do you think? Why don’t you compare the incantation I drew and see if it’s exactly the same as the one on the silk?”
The disciples of the Life and Death Summit were the least afraid of excitement. When they saw Chu Wanning expressionlessly throw the silk on the table, it was obvious that he agreed with Mo Ran’s actions. They immediately rushed over and formed a circle to compare.
The people from Bi Tan Village were still tense at first, but later they couldn’t help but be curious. Some of them even had the mentality of nitpicking, so they also gathered around to take a look.
After so many people looked at it for a long time, they finally came to a conclusion.
The incantation that Mo Ran drew was exactly the same as the one on the silk. It was almost as if they were drawn by the same person.
The idiot from before, Li Wuxin, spoke again. He pointed at Mo Ran and turned pale with fright. “Good! Good! You confessed without being pressed! Looks like you killed them! ”
Mo Ran was speechless.
Chu Wanning suddenly said lightly, “Little brother, how should I address you?”
“Hmm? You’re asking me? ” The idiot was stunned. He immediately puffed out his chest and said proudly, “Wuxin’s thirteenth direct disciple, Zhen Congming.”
Mo Ran: “Pfft.”
Chu Wanning, on the other hand, didn’t have much of a reaction to ‘Really Smart’. After all, he also had a nickname, ‘Scared You to Death’. He only said coldly, “When the elders are talking, the younger generation should learn to shut up.”
This sentence was obviously mocking Li Wuxin’s criticism of Mo Ran. When Li Wuxin heard this, his face turned into the color of pig liver. He was very annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. He could only change the topic and say, “Grandmaster Chu’s disciple is really a young hero. He’s very capable. This incantation is actually drawn exactly like a grandmaster.”
“Village Master Li, it’s not just me. If you could draw this incantation, you would definitely draw the same incantation as my master.”
Li Wuxin glared at Mo Ran. “What do you mean by that?!”
Mo Ran smiled. “Myriad Waves Incantation, the strokes are complicated, the strength of the strokes, and the color of the ink can’t be different by half a day. Therefore, no matter who drew it, it would be no different from the creator. This actually has nothing to do with the handwriting. If there is even the slightest difference in the drawing, this incantation won’t take effect. ”
“Nonsense!” After being pointed out by a junior like this in public, Li Wuxin couldn’t help but become angry. His beard flew in all directions. “Which incantation in this world would have such crafty requirements?! Although this old man has never practiced this incantation, I also know that this is nonsense. You brat, don’t spread rumors! ”
“He’s not spreading rumors.”
Li Wuxin couldn’t hold it in anymore. He said angrily, “Chu Wanning, words have no basis! How could you know! How could you know! The characteristics and weaknesses of an incantation are usually best understood by the creator. Do you dare to say that you are the creator of the Myriad Waves Incantation?! ”
Chu Wanning raised his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly. He took another sip of tea and slowly said.
“Why wouldn’t I dare? I’ll tell you right now. ”
Li Wuxin: “???”
“The Myriad Waves Incantation was created by me.”
Li Wuxin: “… … … …”
