There was silence in the woods, countless eyes fell on Zhe Xiu's body, with different emotions. Zhu Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, while Mei Lisha was not there at all, staring at the disappeared Zhou Garden in front of the disappearing green hill, his old face was full of inexplicable expressions.
"So that's how it is." Elder Li Shan looked at Zhe Xiu and said expressionlessly.
There were footsteps and breaking wind in the woods. Practitioners belonging to the various sects of Changshengzong and Shengnvfeng in the south dispersed without waiting for orders, vaguely blocking all possible directions for Zhexiu to leave. Depending on the situation, the next moment will make a move. Logically speaking, everyone believed in the truth without Zhuang Huanyu declaring that Zhexiu was a spy of the demon clan. The problem was that Liang Xiaoxiao on the stretcher kept staring at Zhexiu, without concealing the hatred and vigilance in his eyes. And there was no objection.
Liang Xiaoxiao is the Seven Laws of the Divine Kingdom, and Zhuang Huanyu is the proud student of the Heavenly Dao Academy. The testimonies of the two of them are very powerful. The most important thing is that Liang Xiaoxiao is now seriously injured. Doubting his words, who would lie at the moment of death
Zhexiu is not a human cultivator, and has no contact with many cultivating sects in the Central Plains, but he hunted and killed demons on the snowy plains, cooperated with the Great Zhou military, and made a lot of military exploits. Many nobles in Kyoto appreciate him very much. The exchange of interests and considerations does not prevent someone from wanting to help him.
The status of Li Gong was relatively detached. The cardinal who had just treated Liang Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, thinking that the sword wound on Liang Xiaoxiao's body did not seem to be the killing method that Zhexiu was good at, so he said hesitantly: "I looked at the most Fatal... probably a sword wound."
An instructor from Zhaixing Academy looked at Zhuang Huanyu and said coldly, "That's right, how do you explain it? Zhe Xiu has repeatedly made military achievements and killed countless demons on the snowy field. You actually said that he colluded with the demons on the snowy field?" How can it be convincing to kill people in Zhou Yuanli?"
This is indeed the case, especially the sword wound on Liang Xiaoxiao's body, which was obviously not caused by Zhe Xiu, this question is even more deadly. Many people looked at Zhuang Huanyu again, wanting to hear his explanation. After hesitating for a moment, Zhuang Huanyu said, "Or, he was hiding in the past few years, just trying to win the trust of us humans through those military exploits."
"The accusation of colluding with the demons cannot use the word or." The instructor of the Zhaixing Academy said bluntly, not caring about his identity at all.
Zhuang Huanyu's eyes were reddish, he didn't know whether it was anxious or annoyed, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, as if subconsciously looking at the stretcher.
Liang Xiaoxiao shook his head with difficulty and said, "Don't say it."
Looking at this scene, Elder Li Shan vaguely understood that his guess had become true, his face became extremely pale, and his body was slightly cold. Hearing Liang Xiaoxiao's weak voice, Zhuang Huanyu tightly closed his mouth, his face was pale, and his body was slightly cold, but his coldness was not the same as that of that elder Li Shan.
Looking at Liang Xiaoxiao who was covered in blood on the stretcher, thinking about the previous conversation in the Zhou Garden, and those dozens of stern sword lights, he couldn't help feeling chills.
At that time in Panshan Linyu, Liang Xiaoxiao saw the scene of Zhexiu walking towards the outside of Zhouyuan with Qijian on his back. He calmly explained some things to Zhuang Huanyu, and then without warning or hesitation, he got out of the sheath He took out his sword and unleashed a powerful sword move.
That sword move is the last move of the Li Shanfa sword, and it is the most heroic and absolute. Using this sword move can bring the greatest damage to the enemy, but you will definitely die under this sword. In the court test, Gou Hanshi finally withdrew from the duel because he saw that Chen Changsheng decided to use this sword move.
Liang Xiaoxiao used such a cold and tragic sword on himself.
Zhuang Huanyu was stunned. He had never seen such a cruel person, who was so cruel and cruel to himself, let alone others.
Yes, this was Liang Xiaoxiao's impromptu move. He used death and those sword wounds to accuse Zhexiu and Qijian of colluding with the demons and mutilating their fellow sects.
He didn't say Qi Jian's name in front of so many people, because he is a disciple of Li Shan who loves his fellow sect and values the reputation of the sect more than his life. He still has sympathy for his junior brother.
It is precisely because he is such a person that what he says will be more believable. It was really scary for Liang Xiaoxiao to exchange his own death for benefits. The most terrifying thing was that he didn't hesitate before making this decision, and he didn't seem to care whether Zhuang Huanyu would act according to his plan.
Zhuang Huanyu was terrified by Liang Xiaoxiao's conspiracy with his own death. He wanted to escape, but he knew he couldn't escape. Since at the lakeside, Chen Changsheng and the three were assassinated by Liang Xiaoxiao and the strong demons, but he didn't show up. From that moment on, he went astray.
In many moments in the past, he had the opportunity to correct his direction, including now, he can tell the truth of the matter, but... he would be a coward in that way, so he didn't, and then he had to fight in this way Keep going on the road, there is no turning back.
The other party seemed to have figured out how he would choose from the very beginning.
Looking at Liang Xiaoxiao who was covered in blood and dying on the stretcher, Zhuang Huanyu felt that what he saw was a devil.
Liang Xiaoxiao was also looking at him, his eyes were a little dim, but calm.
Just when the eyes met, everything became a foregone conclusion.
Zhuang Huanyu remained silent, lowered his head slowly, and said with a trembling voice, "Sorry, I can't say anything."
In the eyes of everyone, Zhuang Huanyu looked very sad, but also seemed very unwilling.
Nothing can be said, in fact, a lot has been said, which is more terrifying than saying it.
Zhu Luo raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked out of the crowd at Qijian, who was still unconscious.
Qijian didn't know what happened at all.
"What do you have to say?"
The new teacher of Tiandao Academy came to the venue, listening to the situation, with a slightly cold expression, he looked at Zhexiu under the locust tree and asked.
Zhexiu said blankly: "Liang Xiaoxiao is a spy of the demon clan...but I didn't kill him."
There was another uproar in the room, and the elder Li Shan said with a cold expression, "What did you say?"
Zhexiu recounted what happened by the lake at that time. He was not good at speaking, and his speaking speed was very slow, but because of this, he was somewhat believable.
The instructor of the Star Reaching Academy asked: "Are there any witnesses for what you said?"
Zhexiu and Liang Xiaoxiao accuse each other of being spies of the demon clan, but of course there is no evidence, so they can only seek witnesses.
At this time, not many people believed Zhe Xiu's words. The words of the instructor of Zhaixing Academy were undoubtedly an opportunity that Zhe Xiu had to seize.
After a moment of silence, Zhe Xiu said: "I know you won't believe what I said, when Qi Jian wakes up, you will naturally know."
The cardinal met the gazes of the crowd, shook his head and said, "The injury is too serious, and there are some serious problems with the meridians. I don't know when I will wake up, and even..."
Zhuang Huanyu sneered, and said sadly and angrily: "I can't wake up..."
The two people didn't finish talking, but everyone understood what they meant.
Qijian may never wake up.
If so, Zhuang Huanyu would feel very happy.
It's still the same sentence, sometimes not saying it, or not saying it thoroughly, is more lethal than saying it clearly.
These details, together with the sword wounds on Liang Xiaoxiao's body, have already made many people think that they probably guessed what was going on in the conspiracy that happened in the Zhou Garden, why Zhuang Huanyu was so sad and angry, and hesitated to speak, why Liang Xiaoxiao said To die, but still refused to say more.
"According to what Zhexiu said, you weren't there at the time." The instructor of the Zhaixing Academy looked at Zhuang Huanyu and asked.
Zhuang Huanyu was silent for a long time, then finally raised his head and made a choice, so he appeared very calm.
It's easy to choose between a coward for a lifetime and a warrior for a quarter of an hour.
He had been a coward once, so of course he would be a warrior in the story he told.
Although he knew very well that this was the act of a coward.
…
…
After listening to Zhuang Huanyu's story, the venue became quiet again.
Under the locust tree, Zhexiu sensed the strange gazes from all around him, sensed the coercion that gradually became real, and lowered his head slightly, very puzzled.
He can't see things now, so he doesn't understand why humans can open their eyes and talk nonsense so easily.
To complete a lie, more lies are needed, and loopholes will inevitably appear. The story Zhuang Huanyu told was completely fabricated by Liang Xiaoxiao in a very short period of time. Of course, it is impossible to guarantee that all the details are perfect. Zhu Luo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Chen Changsheng is also there?"
In the story told by Zhexiu, Chen Changsheng played a very important role, but in the story told by Zhuang Huanyu, Chen Changsheng's appearance was mentioned in a few strokes. Zhexiu didn't understand, and said, "Yes, Chen Changsheng can testify."
The Heavenly Daoist Instructor looked at him and frowned slightly and said, "Chen Changsheng didn't get out of the Zhou Garden, so he should have died... You know this, so you say that on purpose?"
Hearing that Chen Changsheng had died in the Zhou Garden, Zhexiu fell silent and stopped talking.
Liang Xiaoxiao's voice became weaker and weaker: "It turns out that he failed to leave Zhou Garden... then it's nothing."
After saying this, he sighed, a little regretful, a little happy, a little bewildered, in short, it was very complicated.
The woods were quiet again, and everyone was shocked and speechless.
Could it be... Chen Changsheng actually participated in Zhexiu's collusion with the demons
How can we weave a perfect lie? Instead of constantly using new lies to make up for it, like painting, you must know how to leave blank space to give people room and space for thinking.
That's what Liang Xiaoxiao did, and he did it very successfully.
Of course, up to this moment, this lie is still not perfect, because the words of the living are never more trustworthy than the words of the dead—life is the most precious thing in the world, and the accusation made with life is the most powerful. , even more weight than the truth.
If Liang Xiaoxiao died at this time, his framing of Zhexiu, Qijian and Chen Changsheng would be perfect.
He closed his eyes and smiled wearily.
There were complex emotions on his face, which were unwillingness, grief, relief, and... tolerance.
Then, he died.
