Killing, killing one's wife to prove one's truth
As soon as these four words were spoken, the entire sea of clouds was boiling!
Thinking about the eight words "the tomb of my wife Xie Jianchou", all kinds of speculations arise in my mind, which is really creepy and unbelievable!
After Chen Tingyan was rescued by Qu Zhengfeng that day, he told him everything about the past and pointed out the village where Jianchou lived in the past, and took him there to check it out. Chen Tingyan had nothing to do and was bored all day. But now that he was put in front of so many people, he felt a little timid.
It's really torture!
But what else can we do
If Jianchou had not been there last time and blocked the whisk for him, I am afraid I would have disappeared into thin air. I have no good feelings towards the Kunwu master and disciple.
He immediately covered his head with his folding fan, coughed, and saluted to Master Hengxu, but then he bowed to Xie Buchen beside him and said, "Xie Sangong, it's been a long time since we last met. You should still remember me, right? Chen Tingyan is honored."
Thank you, Third Master
This doesn't sound like the name of the Nineteen Continents, but rather like the name that ordinary people on an isolated island on earth use to refer to scholars or dignitaries from high-ranking families.
There is no need to say anything more, just this one name makes everyone prick up their ears.
Fairy Xuan Yue had been curious about the connection between Jianchou and Xie Buchen since they were in the City of the Dead. She had already formed her own guess after seeing the tombstone just now, but she still needed to hear the narration of the ghost cultivator in front of her to know the whole story, so she paid close attention and listened carefully.
Xie Buchen raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Tingyan.
He and Chen Tingyan were not really very familiar with each other, and this man had indulged in sensual pleasures in his early years. When he first met Jianchou in Xie Hou's mansion, he had teased him with his words, which really made him unhappy.
Even a fool could tell what Qu Zhengfeng had brought him here for.
But he was not surprised at all.
As early as when he learned that Chen Tingyan had been rescued, he knew that one day he would have to face the situation today, so he was calm and composed, and only returned the greeting lightly: "Mr. Chen Si, I am honored."
This surprised Chen Tingyan. He even became a little uncertain. He felt that Xie Buchen's reaction was too calm, even a little frank, which made him not quite believe the rumors he had heard.
But the words on the tombstone can’t be fake, right
Although he was uneducated in those days, he had been in and out of Marquis Xie's mansion many times and had seen many words written by Xie Buchen, so he would never make a mistake.
So after a slight hesitation, he spoke cautiously.
"Although I died early in Daxia, I heard a lot of news after entering the underworld."
"One of them is related to Third Master Xie."
"I heard that after the Xie Marquis's mansion was confiscated, you and Daoist friend Jianchou went through hardships together and fled to the south of the Yangtze River. You hid your identities, lived in a village, and got married. But not long after, Miss Jianchou's tomb was found in the mountains. The coffin was opened, with blood stains inside. The tombstone fell to the ground, and your handwriting was left on it."
"At that time, Zhang Tang was the Minister of Justice and personally supervised the case."
"He is very methodical in solving cases. Based on the bloodstains in the house and the coffin, he deduced that Jianchou was dead. However, there was nothing on the wall where the sword should have been hung. When the Xie Marquis's house was searched, a sword was missing, so he guessed that you killed Miss Jianchou."
"Even though there are wanted posters everywhere, there is still no trace of you."
"It was not until I saw something in the City of Death a while ago that I realized that not only did Daoist Jianchou survive, but you too survived and are still alive and well. You have become a true disciple of this Kunwu!"
At first, he was a little timid when speaking, but later on, he was really full of complaints and confusion.
Chen Tingyan's brows were furrowed tightly, as if he was complaining.
"What's going on between you two?"
"… "
"… "
"… "
There was a ghostly silence and everyone could hardly believe their ears!
It’s exactly as they guessed!
The appearance of either of the Yashan elder sister Jianchou and the Kunwu Taoist Xie Buchen can become the most brilliant footnote of an era. But these two people with extraordinary talents are actually a couple who share hardships when they are isolated on the island? !
Are you kidding me…
Many people, including many powerful monks, gasped and found it horrifying. When they thought of the four words "killing wife to prove the truth", they all turned to Xie Buchen with a hint of disapproval in their eyes.
Wearing a green robe, standing in the sea of clouds.
A ray of sunlight poured down from the gloomy dome and fell on him.
Whether it is his otherworldly posture or his clear and slightly cold eyes, they all make people hold their breath, reminding people of how he planned and planned in the battle between the Yin and Yang realms, and won the battle thousands of miles away. However, it is impossible to connect him with such an evil act as the so-called "killing his wife to prove his truth".
This is Kunwu’s “Ziwei Daozi”!
Xie Buchen looked at Chen Tingyan without answering, as if he was still thinking about something.
But another elder of Kunwu, Gu Pingsheng, could no longer bear it.
Gu Qingmei was his beloved daughter. He rushed back, but he saw her die at the hands of Qu Zhengfeng. He had long hated him. Now, after hearing Chen Tingyan's nonsense, he was filled with grief and hatred. He asked directly, "It's really ridiculous! You, Qu Zhengfeng, are so unscrupulous in order to destroy my Kunwu! Can this random ghost cultivator slander my Kunwu disciples at will? ! Let's not talk about other things. If the 'Jianchou' mentioned by this ghost is the Jianchou of Yashan, why has she never taken revenge for so many years? The cultivators of the Nineteen Continents have never heard of it. And you two keep saying 'killing your wife to prove the truth', why is she still alive today? Could it be that as a mortal, she has the ability to bring the dead back to life and come back to life after death? "
As soon as these words were spoken, some people echoed them.
"Yes, if this is true, why have we never heard of it?"
"They say he killed his wife to prove his faith, but he didn't succeed?"
"What about the coffin?"
"Master Hengxu wouldn't let his disciples do such a thing, would he?"
"So how did Chou get to Yashan? Is there such a coincidence?"
"Hey, do you remember..."
"What?"
"The time when Qingfeng Temple was in the hidden world and the snowy region..."
"hiss!"
…
Finally someone remembered!
I wouldn't have thought about it if I hadn't mentioned it, but now that I remember it, there really is some conflict between Senior Sister Jianchou of Yashan and Taoist Xie Buchen of Kunwu!
There was a fight to the death in the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple, and the secret agents in the Snow Region started another fight.
Although no one was able to kill the other in the end, the momentum...
No matter how you look at it, this is more than just an ordinary hatred!
However, no one in Kunwu Yashan mentioned the reason at that time, so the cultivators in the world could only let it go and fabricate some dispute and conflict of interest between the two factions.
If there is a vengeance from the past...
Doesn’t this make perfect sense
When Chen Tingyan heard the elder's question and the discussions of the people around him, he was completely confused about the Qingfeng Temple Hidden Realm Snowland Tantric Buddhism.
He couldn't help feeling a little confused and turned to look at Qu Zhengfeng.
Qu Zhengfeng clapped his hands and laughed: "Good question! Elder Gu really hit the nail on the head with this question!"
"What do you mean?"
Gu Pingsheng had already become alert, feeling as if he had fallen into some kind of trap, and felt a little uneasy for a moment.
But why would Qu Zhengfeng pay any attention to him
It's much better for someone to ask than for him to say it himself.
He turned his eyes and looked at Xie Buchen with an almost mocking look, then looked at the completely gloomy face of Hengxu Zhenren, and laughed coldly: "Chen Tingyan has explained the matter so clearly. Zhenren is a noble man who forgets things easily, but you still haven't remembered it now? Speaking of which, isn't fellow Taoist Kunwu Xie curious about how the person who should have died under your sword survived and even appeared in the Nineteenth Continent?"
Xie Buchen turned his head and looked at Master Hengxu.
Zhenren Hengxu's lips had turned black and blue, and his aura was extremely disordered due to his serious injuries. His bloodstained Taoist robe looked indescribably cold and stern at this moment.
He stared at Qu Zhengfeng intently, without moving an inch.
At this moment, above the sea of clouds and in front of the Palace of the Heavens, everyone subconsciously held their breath. From Qu Zhengfeng's suggestive words, they sensed a hint of a conspiracy hidden deeper within.
Xie Buchen did not get any clear hints or answers from Master Hengxu, so he narrowed his eyes and lowered them indifferently before replying, "I'd like to hear the details."
I would like to hear the details!
He actually answered like this!!!
If it was just Qu Zhengfeng's unilateral accusation before, and there was no solid evidence except the tombstone, then Xie Buchen's answer at this moment was tantamount to tacitly agreeing with everything Chen Tingyan said before!
Killing his wife to prove his truth!
This kind of thing was actually done by Kunwu's disciples.
Not to mention the numerous righteous cultivators above the sea of clouds at the moment, even the group of desperate criminals from the starry sea and the evil demons from the demon world behind Qu Zhengfeng couldn't help but gasp.
After all, even demons might not be able to do such a thing!
"Hahaha, you dare to do it and admit it!"
Qu Zhengfeng really couldn't say for sure if he could see Xie Buchen clearly at this moment, but when he thought about the seemingly harmonious but actually deceitful relationship between the master and the disciple, he seemed to be able to guess a little.
“But I may not dare to acknowledge my master, Fellow Daoist Xie!”
"As we all know, most cultivators practice in accordance with the will of heaven. However, heaven is ruthless, so cultivators seek to sever all emotions and love during their practice. When the sects in the Nineteen Continents recruit disciples, they generally choose people who have no parents and no ties, so that they can enter the Tao without emotions. There are strict sects that require people to sever worldly karma, so they usually wait for their parents and relatives in the mortal world to die, and then the karma will be resolved."
"The so-called 'killing one's wife to prove one's faith' is something that even the evil heretics would not even bother to do!"
"Because strengthening the cause and effect will sow new causes and effects. If the feelings are not broken but they are cut off, there is a great possibility that one will be infected with the inner demons in future practice. Even if one has extraordinary talent, one may not be able to overcome the inner calamity!"
When he said this, Xie Buchen looked up at him.
Zhenren Hengxu's gaze became even colder.
But Qu Zhengfeng had already spoken. Today he would expose all the filth of Kunwu to the world and make sure Hengxu died without a burial place and be cursed for all eternity!
"Who doesn't know that you, Kunwu, the 'Purple Star Daoist', are extremely talented. You built your foundation in ten days and defeated Zhou Chengjiang from the Dragon Gate of the Second Heavenly Monument. You were the most famous person at the time. Daoist Xie has such a talent. As the head of Kunwu, how could you not see it? Even if he doesn't cut off his love, his progress in cultivation will not be hindered in any way."
"But you instigated him to kill his wife and seek enlightenment..."
"Not only that, Qu went to an isolated island on earth one day to look for the old grave. He found that the grave was actually a dragon's cave where energy and wind gathered. Mountain spirits and monsters roamed around. Even if the people buried here died, their souls could not go to the extreme region. They would only hover in the mountains and fields. They would either become evil spirits or be eaten by spirits and monsters!"
"Everyone in the Nineteen Continents knows that Xie Buchen is a disciple you personally recruited from the Nineteen Continents."
"You must have been there when the burial was in progress. Whether you pointed out the burial site yourself or saw it with your own eyes but did not stop it, it is clear that you are arrogant and have evil intentions. You are definitely not a good person!"
"And at that time, Fudaoshan was also on an isolated island..."
Where did this come from
Everyone understood what Qu Zhengfeng said earlier, and they were naturally shocked that such an appalling thing as "killing one's wife to prove one's faith" could happen in a famous and upright sect like Kunwu.
But there seems to be nothing wrong with burying a person in a Feng Shui cave.
Everyone was shocked and confused for a moment, not understanding the reason.
But when the great men heard this, their minds were filled with lightning and they vaguely understood what Qu Zhengfeng was doubting.
He looked at Hengxu, who was dressed in a black robe with gold weaving, and recited word by word: "'Within a hundred years, a great catastrophe will come. A son of extraordinary talent will appear on June 22nd to replace you, save Kunwu from danger, and turn the tide!' This is the 'secret of heaven' that the Immortal calculated in the past using the Zhoutian Star Array. Immortal, am I right?"
Kunwu catastrophe!
Very few people knew about this matter, but those who had heard of it were all well-known figures in various sects. Now that Qu Zhengfeng had suddenly revealed it, everyone around him was horrified!
There is both confusion and shock.
Master Hengxu had brought about a great calamity in the past, and the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in Kunwu today, isn't that just the fulfillment of the calamity? !
No matter how much you plan, how can you predict that you cannot escape the destiny
How could Master Hengxu not see the crux of the matter at this point
He slowly closed his eyes and just smiled: "Not bad."
"You are better than me, and I will take your place!" Qu Zhengfeng sighed. "You were unwilling to tolerate your junior brother Shen Jiuhan back then, and you plotted against him, beat him up, and caused the death of thousands of cultivators on Yashan for your own selfish desires! After sitting on the position of the head of Kunwu for hundreds of years, how can you be willing to give up the position of the head to someone else because of this so-called 'great catastrophe'?"
"You want to resolve the Kunwu catastrophe, but you are unwilling to give up the position of the first seat, and you will not tolerate anyone in this world trying to replace you!"
"So you went to the lonely island in the human world and accepted Xie Buchen as your disciple;"
"So you instigated him to kill his wife to prove his faith, just to plant the seeds of evil in his heart;"
"So you ordered Jianchou to be buried in the Fengshui dragon cave, because you knew that Fudaoshanren was also on the lonely island in the human world, and he must know that you were coming. If he came to find you, he would naturally find Jianchou. When her soul lingered in the mountains, he could perform the art of resurrection. If Jianchou is not dead, even if Xie Buchen did not have a demon in his heart, how could he not have a demon in his heart after seeing her come back to life?"
"So you could have done it in a more covert way by accepting Xie Buchen as your disciple on the lonely island in the human world, but you did not destroy Jianchou's grave and even left the tombstone. This is because you hoped that one day, Xie Buchen's murder of his wife to prove his faith would be exposed and he would be cursed by the world. This would also prevent him from replacing you and serve as a check and balance!"
"But you would never have thought that the one who came to expose you today was actually me."
"Since you wanted to calculate the secrets of heaven and resolve Kunwu's catastrophe, you really didn't want to be replaced by someone else. But you never thought that it was precisely because of this calculation that you ended up in today's disaster!"
"Because of your own selfishness, you harmed Yashan Qianxiu!"
"Because of your own selfish motives, you instigated your disciples to kill innocent people!"
"Now, you have tasted the bitter fruit of your own evil! It is because that innocent man survived and arrived at Yashan that those who hated you had the opportunity to leave Yashan. You killed Kunwu today to fulfill this great calamity of the century!"
No matter how well you plan, you will end up being trapped in your own web!
No one expected it to be like this.
There was no human voice for a moment above the entire sea of clouds, only the whistling sound of the wind, which cooled the blood on everyone's swords and also made everyone's blood, which had been heated up by Kunwu's disaster, gradually cool down.
After the wind passed, I felt a chill coming over me.
Even Qu Zhengfeng, who explained all this, didn't dare to say that he was not touched at all at the moment. On the contrary, he was the one who was most touched!
Qian Xiu who died unjustly for Yashan!
The deep scheming of Master Hengxu!
This master-disciple relationship is fake from beginning to end.
This Kunwu abbot has never been a warm-blooded person, but only a cruel and cold heart!
At this time, Xie Buchen's face was expressionless.
In other words, no one can see through his thoughts.
It seemed as if I was thinking about nothing, but also as if I was thinking about a lot.
After Qu Zhengfeng said this, he simply turned his gaze towards Zhenren Hengxu, with the clear sky reflected in his eyes.
No words are needed, but it is better than too many words.
Others read so much, so much from this look that seemed to hide nothing...
"Everything is my own fault. You, the Immortal, have devoted yourself to Kunwu and done all kinds of things that are against the will of heaven and earth! Everything you, Kunwu, have established and your disciples have enjoyed has all been stained with the blood of thousands of cultivators on Yashan Mountain! Today, I will slaughter you, Kunwu, and seeing half of these cultivators die innocently, do you feel heartbroken, Immortal?"
Destroy everything you don't want to destroy, kill everything you don't want to kill!
But I have to keep the thing you are most reluctant to face right in front of you!
Every word Qu Zhengfeng said was filled with undisguised hatred.
Zhenren Hengxu's body began to tremble violently.
Previously, when he explained all the plots and plans to take Xie Buchen as his disciple eleven generations ago, he remained calm. But Qu Zhengfeng's words were like the tip of a knife tempered with poison, which easily pierced through him!
Make him crazy about it, go crazy about it!
"It is not your turn as an outsider to interfere in Kunwu's affairs! Do you, a mere heretic, have the qualifications?"
When he gritted his teeth, his eyes were already red!
At this moment, Zhenren Hengxu did not seem like a seriously injured person. His movements were as fast as thunder and he pointed at the temple. He actually used this crumbling body to forcibly activate the Evil-Slaying Seal!
"court death!!!"
The Baji dark blue chessboard appeared above the sea of clouds in an instant, and a piece of spiritual light gathered quickly. Zhenren Hengxu made a gesture with his fingers, and was about to launch the same shocking attack that had killed Shao Ji and Kunpeng!
How could Qu Zhengfeng retreat with the Yashan sword in his hand
He raised his sword and was ready to risk his fate and fight with Hengxu!
But someone is faster than him—
In a flash, there was no other color between heaven and earth.
The scarlet sword light filled people's eyes like blood.
It was so fast and fierce that even Hengxu who was holding the Evil-Slaying Seal had no time to react. The entire huge chessboard was instantly shattered by the sword light, and Hengxu himself was also concentrated by the remaining force of the sword. His weak body, which was severely injured and struggling to hold on, had no power to resist at all!
"Bang!"
A loud bang!
It was actually knocked directly out of the crowd, crashed into the Great Hall of the Heavens, knocked down a small part of the snow-white wall, and heavily slammed into the Zhoutian Star Array that had already been still.
Blood splattered instantly, covering his clothes.
How could Master Hengxu still look as calm as before? He just fell from the formation and landed on the ground!
He opened his eyes with great effort and looked towards the place where the sword light had just appeared.
The crowd dispersed like a tide, with an indescribable look of scrutiny and horror on everyone's face, and at the end of the crowd was the female cultivator.
That one...
Her name is "Jianchou" and she is a female cultivator.
She no longer had the simple moon-white robe of the past, but now she was wearing a mountain and river robe that gathered all the elegance of the world, which made her look even more awe-inspiring and inviolable.
There was a coldness on the pale face.
No one knew when she came, how long she stood on the edge of the crowd, or how much she heard. Even the powerful monks present knew nothing about it, let alone see through her cultivation level!
With Master Hengxu seriously injured, she is undoubtedly the strongest force in the entire 19th Continent at this moment!
Everyone's eyes were on her, but no one dared to make a sound.
Just a moment ago, they had heard about her old stories, and now seeing her in person, they had an indescribable feeling.
Xie Buchen stood there and looked at her.
Qu Zhengfeng was also speechless.
The other Kunwu cultivators realized belatedly at this time that no matter what the real reason was, it was not the turn of outsiders to deal with the Kunwu chief. And Jianchou, as a junior from Yashan, had brazenly attacked Zhenren Hengxu, which was already a violation of the rules.
All the monks shouted in unison and drew their swords towards her!
It can be seen that Chou only needed to press forward with a palm to block off these hundreds of cultivators. The surging palm force even knocked everyone away several feet, and those with weaker cultivation even vomited blood!
A complete crushing defeat!
As a result, the Kunwu cultivators who were about to draw their swords suddenly stopped, shocked by her terrifying strength. They were a little timid and shouted at her, "Fellow Daoist Jianchou, what do you want to do?"
What do you want to do
Jianchou felt that these words sounded familiar, as if she had heard them not long ago. But the one who said these words was not a Kunwu cultivator, but herself.
His eyes were dull and his heart was numb.
She didn't even look at the crowd, but just turned and looked at Qu Zhengfeng for a very long time.
The wind in the sky makes the sea of clouds surge.
Qu Zhengfeng remained silent.
No one knew why Jianchou wanted to look at him, or whether he wanted to say anything, but in the end he didn't say a word.
She turned her gaze back calmly.
He closed his eyes slightly, as if trying to calm down his emotions.
Then, he passed by Xie Buchen and stepped over his own tombstone. Holding the thin thread of sky, he stepped up the stairs step by step and stood in the ruins of the Zhutian Palace. He looked at Master Hengxu who was standing up with the help of the Zhoutian Star Array, and said slowly: "Master needs a qualification. Others don't have it, but I should have it. The grudges are settled today. Jianchou has no other intention, but to take the Master's blood to commemorate all the souls who were unjustly killed by the Master!"
