The Path Toward Heaven

Chapter 99: The reason why a passerby stands here

Views:

Liu Shisui leaned on the stone pillar and sat on the ground, covered in blood.

He was stared at by countless angry eyes, but he didn't care. He said dumbly, "So what? As long as I can kill him, I'm willing to do anything."

Guo Nanshan looked at Jian Ruyun who was being rescued, and said, "If he hadn't suspected that you had learned evil skills, you wouldn't be able to hurt him at all today."

"Of course he won't doubt me, because he knows I'm not that kind of person."

Liu Shisui turned his head with some difficulty, looked at the unconscious Jian Ruyun over there, and said, "He was the one who wanted to eat the demon pill back then."

Guo Nanshan shook his head and said, "It's already at this point, why do you want to ruin others' innocence?"

Liu Shisui said: "I found out that he was trying to steal the Yaodan at the bottom of the muddy water two years ago, but I was attacked by him when I tried to stop it. This is the truth. How can we destroy his innocence?"

Looking across Nanshan to Chiyan.

For the past two years, Shangdefeng has been in charge of the interrogation of Liu Shisui, and the other Qingshan disciples don't know the specifics at all.

Chi Yan said with a blank face: "False words are not accepted, so you don't need to know."

Liu Shisui said indifferently: "Two years ago, you tortured me. No matter how painful it was, I didn't say a word, because I knew you wouldn't believe me. Last year you came to interrogate me again. I finally started to speak, but said If you still don’t believe me, since you have already determined that I am the bad one, why bother to ask me?”

Chi Yan said calmly: "Because what happened today has proved that you have eaten that demon pill."

Only Liu Shisui and Jian Ruyun knew what happened at the bottom of the muddy water, and there were no other witnesses, and the demon pill was the only evidence.

In the past two years, because of the secret method imprinted in Liu Shisui's soul, everyone in Shangde Peak, including Chi Yan, could not find any direct evidence that he had eaten the demon pill.

Today, the evidence finally emerged.

Liu Shisui suddenly laughed loudly, feeling a little crazy.

"I'm going to grab that demon pill... the demon pill... entered my body... it came in by itself... what can I do?"

He glanced at Nanshan, then looked at Chi Yan and those classmates who looked at him with disgust, spread his hands and asked: "If it were you, what would you do?"

When he asked this sentence, he was still laughing loudly, but at some point, his face was already covered with tears, the dust and blood stains were washed away, and he looked in a mess.

There was silence in the room. If what he said was true, what should I do if I replaced myself with him

The Qingshan disciples asked themselves this question in their hearts, but if they couldn't come up with an answer, that meant they already had an answer.

Looking at Liu Shisui, whose face was full of tears, many felt sympathetic, but still refused to believe his words.

"Blood spurting!"

"Senior brother Jian has been harmed by you like this, and you still want to destroy his name!"

"Shameless villain, taking advantage of senior brother's fainting and unable to speak, are you going to use such low-handed means to frame him!"

The disciples of Liangwang Peak and Yunxing Peak couldn't bear it any longer, and they cursed aloud.

At this time, Shi Yuefeng's treatment was over, and it was confirmed that although Jian Ruyun's injury was serious, it should not be life-threatening.

Hearing this, Guo Nanshan and many others breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Shisui also breathed a sigh of relief.

The breath that had sustained him until today was finally let out.

He prepared silently for two years, and he did not hesitate to expose himself for stealing the demon pill, just to kill Jian Ruyun.

However, he was still unsuccessful.

He leaned against the stone pillar and stopped talking, with despair written all over his face.

Chi Yan announced Liu Shisui's crimes in public. Besides stealing demon pills and practicing evil martial arts, there was another crime related to the death of Zuo Yi on Bihu Peak.

Some irritable disciples of Bihu Peak spit and cursed in the direction of Liu Shisui.

In the end, it was natural to announce Liu Shisui's ending.

Death by sword.

Jing Jiu quietly looked at the young man under the stone pillar.

Compared with the time in the small mountain village a few years ago, Liu Shisui has grown up a lot, and since he hasn't seen him for three years, he feels that face is a little strange.

Zhao Layue glanced at him and said, "I object."

The disciples were surprised.

In Qingshan Sword Law, the execution of disciples by sword is capital punishment, even the sect master or Shangde Peak cannot decide on their own, it must get the consent of all the peak masters.

If a peak master disagreed, he could not pass, so he had to put that disciple in the sword prison, even if he never came out again.

The prisoners in the Sword Prison at the bottom of Shangde Peak, apart from those demons who are inconvenient to kill, some of them were once the disciples of the Green Mountain Sect.

Chi Yan frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"

The authority of Shangde Peak has been challenged, but he must respect Zhao Layue Shenmo's identity as the peak master.

"Jian Ruoyun didn't die. From the beginning to the end, none of the Qingshan disciples died because of him, so why did he have to die?"

Zhao Layue said: "And didn't you hear what he said just now? Since there is still something hidden, why don't you ask Jian Ruyun when he wakes up?"

What she said was obviously suspicious of Jian Ruyun, and she was on Liu Shisui's side.

Hearing these words, the disciples of Liangwang Peak and Yunxing Peak couldn't help glaring at each other.

Zhao Layue looked at them calmly and said, "What are you looking at?"

Only then did the disciples of the two peaks come to their senses. Knowing that their behavior was extremely rude, they turned their gaze away resentfully.

"What else is there to ask? Everyone has eyes, and the demon pill is in Liu Shisui's stomach!"

Seeing Jian Ruyun who was still unconscious, Master Yunxing Peak was already furious and shouted sharply.

Zhao Layue remained calm and said, "So what? I still disagree."

To disagree is to disagree.

If she disagreed, Liu would not die at the age of ten.

The stone forest was surrounded by silence.

Everyone knew that Liu Shisui should survive.

The question is, is being imprisoned in the sword prison and never seeing the light of day really a better ending than death

Jing Jiu still didn't speak, because he knew that this was not the real ending.

as expected.

From the top of the peak came the distant voice of the head master.

"For the first time in a hundred years, the Ninth Peak has participated in Qingshan's discussions... I would like to ask Shang Defeng to consider it."

The three-foot sword suddenly vibrated, exuding an extremely cold breath.

Yuan Qijing's voice spread across the peaks and fell on the ears of the disciples, like an ice pick, very uncomfortable.

"Take his sword pill, cut off his meridians, clear his erysipelas, abolish his cultivation, drive him out of the green mountain, and Tianguang Peak will take care of it on its own."

This was Liu Shisui's final ending.

Shang Defeng was willing to take a step back, and everyone knew that it was because the leader had said something.

The sect master's speech was to save face for Jing Jingren's reincarnated disciples.

Then why did Zhao Layue come forward to save Liu Shisui's life

Many people have already thought that it should be related to Jing Jiu.

Many people still remember his relationship with Liu Shisui back then.

A deacon from Shangde Peak stepped forward to help Liu Shisui up, and tied his arms with sword ropes.

Liu Shisui looked at Jing Jiu on the Yajian platform, was silent for a while, and suddenly said loudly, "I don't need your fake mercy!"

Jing Jiu looked indifferent, and still didn't speak.

"When I needed help the most... where were you!"

"Where were you when I was at my worst? You left! You left Qingshan to travel in the clouds!"

"I know you avoided it on purpose. Why? Because you're afraid of offending them? Or are you afraid of seeing my miserable state?"

Liu Shisui said sadly: "Yes, you are the most promising swordsman in the Qingshan Sect. I am just an abandoned disciple, and there is no relationship between us? You just lived in my house for a year. Back then at Nansong Pavilion and Xijianxi, they used me to laugh at you, so you were probably annoyed by looking at me at that time, right?"

It was quiet.

Liu Shisui gradually calmed down, looked at Jing Jiu on the cliff and said seriously: "But, I really never thought of you like this..."

Obviously he didn't finish his sentence, but he stopped here.

Because Jing Jiu raised his hand.

Just like in Xiaoshan Village, Nansong Pavilion, and Xijianxi back then.

All it takes is a gesture and a look, and Liu Shisui can understand what he means.

Jing Jiu felt that he talked too much and was noisy.

Liu Shisui let out a miserable laugh and said no more.

Liu Shisui was taken away by the deacon of Shangde Peak, and later the teacher of Tianguang Peak would personally execute those cruel punishments, and then he was expelled from Qingshan.

Jing Jiu quietly watched his figure disappear on the mountain road, but still did not speak.

Countless eyes fell on him, whether it was the teachers or the disciples, they all silently thought in their hearts that this person was really heartless.

Zhao Layue suddenly asked: "Is he telling the truth?"

Jing Jiu was silent for a while, and said, "The dream is still in the dream, and the truth is false and the false is true, I'm not sure."

Zhao Layue said, "Why don't you explain something to him?"

Jing Jiu said, "You know, I'm just a guest staying at his house for a year, and I paid enough money."

Even though such a big event happened, the sword test meeting must continue, just like life.

Jian Ruoshan was seriously injured by Liu Shisui, so he was naturally unable to fight again. Fortunately, his lottery opponent won without a fight and entered the second round.

The next disciple on the lottery was about to appear, when Jing Jiu suddenly stood up.

There was a slight commotion in the crowd.

Many people thought he was sitting here without a face, ready to leave.

Zhao Layue naturally knew that this was not the case, thinking with a smile, didn't she say that she was just passing by

Jing Jiu walked down the stone platform from the road between the cliffs and came to the field.

He looked up at the sword forest, and found that those stone pillars were indeed very high, and the middle part was shrouded in clouds and mist, so he couldn't see clearly the situation at the top.

The disciples didn't know what he was going to do, why he stood here and looked up at the sky.

The disciple who was about to appear on the stage didn't know what he should do, could he go up and tell him to get out of the way

Chi Yan raised his eyebrows and asked: "Jing... Junior brother, why are you standing here?"

Jing Jiu looked away and said, "I have an appointment with the Zhongzhou faction to play chess with Tong Yan at the Meihui next year."

Such a famous thing is naturally known to everyone, and many disciples feel that he is humiliating himself, and even insulting his teacher.

And you are going to the Meihui next year, what does it have to do with standing here

"It suddenly occurred to me just now that to go to the Meihui, you must first have the qualifications to go to the Meihui, and you have to participate in the Qingshan sword test."

Jing Jiu said seriously, "That's why I'm standing here."
