Authenticity, feeding the drug, and losing your reputation.
Chi Xiaochi originally did not dare to turn around, hearing his tone of voice, a shock in his heart, but also do not care about a lot, turned back to look: "Master ......"
In full view of everyone, a hand gently cupped his right cheek and gently shook it.
Wen Yujing said nothing, smiling down at him.
I'm in, I'm fine, and I can touch your face.
The whole audience of disciples saw this scene, where there is not understand?
If Duan Shujue was really the one who plotted to kill his master and had bad intentions, how could Uncle Wen, who had returned from the calamity, treat him like this?
Ren Tingfeng jumped down from the high seat in one step and held Wen Yujing's arm, "When did Senior Brother come back? Why did no one inform us?"
"I entered the mountain just as the public trial began." Wen Yujing spoke with his senior brother, his brows lowered, and he resumed his self-possessed and reserved tone of voice, "I told the disciples guarding the mountain not to spread the word, I just wanted to come and listen to the public trial. I'm sorry to trouble you senior brothers."
If it wasn't for the fact that Chiyunzi was still mindful of the mountain lord's authority, he was afraid that he would have to stand up in a hurry like the other senior brothers.
He leaned forward and ordered, "Listen to the wind, focus on business first! How is Senior Brother Wen's injury?"
Ren Tingfeng took a pulse and tried, both shocked and angry: "How did you get hurt like this?"
Wen Yujing turned his head, his gaze landing on Yan Jinhua, who was horrified by the demon cultivator's head, "Senior nephew Fei, third uncle asked you, why didn't you answer?"
Yan Jinhua couldn't say a word.
All the words rolled back and forth in his mouth, so hot that his throat tightened and he couldn't say a word.
Why did Wen Yujing come back?
Why did his system disappear?
A bad feeling wrapped him up, making him unable to breathe, and he dared not even look at the still fresh head on the ground, busy bowed his head and said: "Master, I don't know what Uncle's intention is in his words and actions! What does it have to do with me if my uncle is injured? My cultivation level, can I still hurt my uncle?"
Wen Yujing withdrew his hand from Ren Tingfeng's hand, "You are indeed capable of more than that. Slandering books and backstabbing, have you done less."
"This is nonsense!" Yan Jinhua said with vigor, "Who in the mountain doesn't know that you have treated Duan Shujue in a biased manner? Even if Duan Shujue did make a mistake, it's hard to say that Uncle Wen wouldn't harbor him!"
Yan Jinhua was eager to get off the hook, so naturally he wanted to question Wen Yujing's position in speaking for Duan Shujue.
Unexpectedly, the red cloud son has been stirred up by these rumors some days ago, the most disgusted with this kind of unsubstantiated words.
Such words of destroying people's reputation came out of his mouth and spread into the ears of all the disciples present, asking Yu Jing how to behave in the future!
Wen Yujing, however, did not change color, and even the speed of his speech was as gentle as usual: "Since Master Banquet doesn't know what I mean by this, I'll ask someone to come and explain it to you."
Yan Jinhua sounded a vivid mood and turned his head.
When he saw the painter he hired to draw the homoerotic little yellow picture and the "blind old man" who stole his money bag, fearfully escorted by the two mountain guard disciples to come forward, his eyes went black and he could not wait to faint on the spot.
Su Yun, who was standing at the side of Red Cloud Zi, immediately recognized that the person underneath was the strange old man he had met in the city when he had gone to ambush the ghosts.
Now that he saw his eyes darting around, not seeing any blindness, his heart brightened up and he bowed to Red Cloud Zi, "Master, this is the man of prophecy I mentioned that I met in the city. When he came by my disciple's side, he said that his mouth was ominous, and when my disciple asked him what he meant, he was incoherent and ran away. This ......"
Red Cloud Zi waved his hand, stopping Su Yun's words, "Senior brother, these two?"
Those two people were surrounded by the sword-wielding Taoist priests in the center, where can they still hold on to their arms, flopping down on their knees, and confessed everything one by one.
That painter still has some integrity, truthfully explained the fabrication of the painting book, only said that he did not know when he drew the two immortals, just to earn a mouth to chew the grain, there is a collision, I am really sorry; but the old man playing the ghost is a famous rags, bottom line is almost equal to nothing, was covered in blood Wen Yujing looking for has been scared out of his wits, in order to get away with it, so all the charges a head of the Yan Jinhua head pushed, said he did not know anything, all Yan Jinhua instructions, and take the city after the rumors of "heavenly thunder splitting the mountain" to say items. In order to get away with it, he simply pushed all the charges onto Yan Jinhua's head, saying that he knew nothing about it, and that it was all Yan Jinhua's orders. He also took the matter of "heavenly thunder striking the mountain", which was widely rumored in the city afterwards, and insisted that Yan Jinhua was the star of the calamity, and that the heavenly thunder should strike him on the head.
...... has to be considered the truth.
Yan Jinhua was brutally and publicly executed, and his body was as sad as an ant.
When the two have finished, Wen Yujing took out a gold embroidered red silver bag and said, "Feast nephew, is this familiar to you?"
Yan Jinhua literally felt like he was going to have a stroke when he looked over.
That was the money bag he was robbed of by the blind old man!
His heart was restless, coupled with Wen Yujing calling him "Master Banquet Nephew", Yan Jinhua's blood pressure couldn't help but rise, his brain was buzzing, and his shoulders and neck were numb.
His first reaction was to deny it, "I haven't seen it, it's not mine!"
The money bag is a personal and private thing, so if he refuses to admit it, what can Wen Yujing do to him?
"You really don't know?"
"Joke, there are thousands of money bags in the world, so how can Uncle Shifu be sure that this is mine?"
The raggedy man interjected at this time, "Obviously you are the one who gave me the reward money and intends to keep his mouth shut!"
Yan Jinhua was itching to pounce on this old piker and tear his mouth off.
Can I suffocate you by not talking? Can I suffocate you?
Besides, the reward money is bullshit! You're the one who took it!
However, he would not dare to make a scene in front of Red Cloud Zi, so he had to hold back a mouthful of old blood and faintly said, "Slanderous words are not enough to be believed."
Wen Yujing glanced at him and smiled, then said to Red Cloud Zi: "A few days ago, senior brother went down the mountain, wanting to add some books and wine, but inadvertently saw this person in a restaurant with a money bag to buy wine. I felt that the workmanship of this object is somewhat familiar, but I did not think about it. But a few days in prison, I have an answer in my heart."
After saying that, he threw the money bag upward, one hand and fingers into a sword, a sword intent swept away, the money bag in the air shattered, a few remaining copper coins ding ding ding ding rolled down on the ground.
Wen Yujing grasped a piece of debris flying in the air and handed it to Ren Tingfeng beside him.
The word "Yan Jinhua" is painted in silver with an iron hook on the bottom left corner of the inside of the money bag.
Wen Yujing said, "...... This is my answer."
Although the situation was far beyond Chi Xiaochi's expectations, that didn't stop him from improvising a beatdown.
He timed his interjections and tone of voice perfectly, his voice trembled slightly as he softly said, "This silver bag was embroidered by my disciple with Senior Brother Banquet to thank him for saving his life in the past. Inside the bag is embroidered with the blessing formation, as well as Brother Fei's name and eight characters. I have also done some needlework for master, so master can recognize that this item is from my hands ......"
Yan Jinhua: "......" Straw Mud Horses.
It's almost as bad as going to a robbery with a stocking over your head, only to have your real address and phone number for online shopping taped to the back of the stocking.
"Saving your life?"
Wen Yujing, however, smiled coldly, pushed away Ren Tingfeng who was supporting him, walked slowly to Yan Jinhua, grabbed him by the back of his collar, forcing him to look squarely at the demonic head, "Tell it once, what is the saving grace that you have done for Shu Jie?"
Yan Jinhua was really confused now.
He really didn't recognize which mountain's demon it was, did he?
He struggled fiercely and cried out, "I really don't know! I'm innocent!"
"You were wronged?"
Wen Yujing's breathing was a bit heavy, and he pressed one hand on his waist and abdomen, so he was not badly injured.
He released his grip on Yan Jinhua, took two steps backward with a slightly unsteady gait, and raised his voice considerably: ''In the beginning, when Shu Jie's parents were massacred by the demon hunters, what was the reason for that? You dare to say that you don't recognize this demon? In order to win the competition, you poisoned me, and I realized that the method was similar to that of a demon cultivator, do you dare to say that you didn't do it? I was traveling with Shu Jie in the Mo Xie Formation, when I was suddenly sent to the Demon Cave by a different formation, and all the demons said that they were entrusted by the "friends of the cave master", do you dare to say that you didn't know anything about it?"
After saying so much in one breath, Wen Yujing's forced suppression of his injuries instantly erupted, and after a few violent coughs, a wave of dizziness suddenly struck him, and Wen Yujing swayed and fell to the side.
Chi Xiaochi had been quietly watching him and, seeing the situation, immediately got up and held Wen Yujing's waist ahead of everyone else.
Wen Yujing also backhandedly locked onto his waist, and with a push into his arms, Chi Xiaochi fell onto the side of his shoulder, rather like she was actively crashing into his arms.
Wen Yujing's bloodstained black hair slid down Chi Xiaochi's shoulders with a strange beauty that was violent and holy.
He lifted his hand, ruffled his hair, and whispered, "I'm sorry I worried you."
Where is Fang Cai's aggressiveness in ...... voice?
After doing so, he leaned on Chi Xiaochi's body and lost consciousness.
In the midst of the chaos, Yan Jinhua knelt dumbly in place, his body flushed with heat and cold.
The first half of everything Wen Yujing said he did.
But the second half is something?
After a careful review, the sinister nature of the words simply made Yan Jinhua's head numb!
Ever since Wen Yujing opened his mouth, he first threw out the head of the demonic creature to shock the entire audience, and then sat down and confirmed that he had spread heavenly anomalies and falsely accused the master and disciple of having had an affair, and after that, no matter what accusatory words he uttered, they would all be taken as true.
And he happened to pass out before explaining in detail, in this way, it actually gave the people present unlimited space for reverie!
Lies are easy to unravel, but what about half-truths?
Seeing Wen Yujing about to be carried down, Yan Jinhua realized that if the public trial ended like this, his reputation, his plan, his dream of being a protagonist, would be completely over!
Wen was obviously taken away by the system, where did the "Demon Cave" come from?
In the beginning, he just delivered a secret letter, those demon cultivators are afraid that they simply do not know the name of the person who delivered the message, what he looks like, and where did the accusation come from?
This person is clearly convicting himself for brainstorming on the basis that he knows the storyline!
Yan Jinhua now knelt down sincerely, walked up on his knees, and cried out in pain, "Master! I have been wronged! I am truly wronged!"
This time he cried without any acting components anymore, tears like a spring, snot and tears, but it was no longer enough to impress Chiyunzi.
He faintly commanded, "Book Jedi."
Chi Xiaochi: "Yes."
Red Cloud Zi: "Quickly take your master back to Hui Shou Peak and take good care of him. Listen to the wind, go fetch the best medicine for your injuries, and I will check the situation later. As for Yan Jinhua ......"
Red Cloud Zi was unwilling to even give him another look, and after a pause, he said, "Admit to Bright Moon House, and choose a day for a public trial."
Seeing several disciples rapidly closing in on him, Yan Jinhua was horrified and could only grasp the last vestige of life, trying his best to argue strongly, ''Master! Don't listen to Wen Yujing's words! Please listen to my disciple's words, this person ...... Wen Yujing, claiming that others are demons, in fact he is the demon! This person is not a person that should be in this world! He is--"
After Yan Jinhua said these words, the people in the room had not yet been able to discuss, the upper several venerable elders changed their faces.
...... How did he know?
Ren Tingfeng, who had already sent Wen Yujing a dozen paces away, heard this and looked back at him.
He swept away the previous days of free and prodigal attitude, his eyes were extremely cold, and he said word by word: "Feast master nephew, you are about to be sick."
With that, he reached out and beckoned his disciple.
The two inner disciples that Ren Tingfeng had taken in were exceptionally quick-witted, and were ordered to go forward, gagging those who gagged and dragging those who dragged their arms, and the gagging disciple didn't forget to stuff a hemp solid into his mouth.
Yan Jinhua's tongue immediately swelled up and became paralyzed and painful.
He covered his mouth, his saliva couldn't help but flow downward, unable to say a single gulp of words, still not dead, roaring: "Is he really--"
But no one who has heard enough of his falsehoods is willing to listen to the truth he tells anymore.
......
Wen Yujing body injuries are strange, whip marks clear, like experiencing severe torture, internal organs burned, internal injuries are very serious.
The few words he spoke before he fell into a coma were enough for Chiyunzi, Ren Tingfeng and others to piece together the "truth".
Yan Jinhua had colluded with the demonic cultivators for a long time, and because Wen knew his secret, Yan Jinhua had the intention of exterminating and framing him for the crime.
When he was in the Butterfly Valley, he broke away from the group and used the opportunity to work with the demon practitioners, resulting in the imprisonment of Wen and the wrongful conviction of Duan Shujue. Duan Shujue was wronged. After being imprisoned for three days in the mountain, he suffered a lot of pains and tortures, and finally found a chance to escape, and killed a demon leader, and brought up his head as a proof to come back to the mountain to settle the score with Yan Jinhua.
Suffice it to say that there is nothing wrong with the overall direction of several people's reasoning, except for some discrepancies in certain details.
After taking a few pills, Wen Yujing woke up and was in much better spirits.
It was just that he was so badly injured that at first glance it was almost shocking.
The brothers could not rest assured, and urged him to take good care of his injuries and not to leave the disease behind, while calling Duan Shujue to take good care of Wen Yujing, apologizing for misunderstanding him.
Duan Shujue seemed to be unconcerned about this matter, and with a bow, he took the spirit medicine and went forward to decoct it.
When they left in pairs, Red Cloud Zi paid attention to Chi Xiaochi, who turned to boil the medicine: "Senior Ren, when Fang Cai spoke with Duan Shujue, he seemed to be a bit distracted, I wonder if he can listen to our commands."
"Shu Jie has done things properly, so there is no need to be concerned." Ren Tingfeng said. Ren Tingfeng said, "Besides, before today, he probably did not know that his parents were killed by Yan Jinhua. It's not surprising that he would be disappointed and confused if his benefactor turned into a blood enemy."
Red Cloud Zi think about it, think it is indeed so, then no longer think about it: "Blockade fishing light pool, will be inside all the things one by one sealed."
Ren Tingfeng: "Is there still a public trial?"
There was also weariness in Red Cloudy Son's voice: "A public trial? Let him say those crazy things in front of the crowd again? When Master Wen is better, we'll ask him what the situation is, and then we'll make a decision."
Chi Xiaochi, who went to decoct the medicine, was late in entering even after several hours, so Wen Yujing could only crook himself on the couch, spread his hair, and take a volume of books to read, so as to pass the time.
After another long wait, there were two knocks at the door.
Dang, dang, careful, like a knock on the heart of a person, but also on Chi Xiaochi's own heart.
It was a heart so hot it was soft.
Inside the door, without seeing the man's face, Wen Yujing already smiled involuntarily.
He hid the scroll under the covers and cleared his throat, but the words that came out were still slightly hoarse, "Come in."
Chi Xiaochi entered, the mahogany tray in his hand holding a small bowl of medicine he had taken this long time to toss out, as well as a dish of candied fruit that looked like a small mountain.
He walked over to the bed, "Master, drink the medicine."
Wen Yujing, with his hands restrained in the quilt, did not look like he had any intention of receiving the bowl, "There is no strength in his hands."
Chi Xiaochi didn't say anything more, took a jade spoon and scooped up the medicinal soup, blew it to warm it, and held the spoon to his lips to confirm the temperature before feeding it to his mouth, carefully scraping away the few drops of medicinal liquid that flowed out of the corners of his lips with the surface of the spoon, and took a small piece of honey-dipped apricot preserves and brought it to his mouth.
Wen Yujing shook his head and refused the little dessert.
"I've already heard from Third Senior Brother." Wen Yujing looked at him and said approvingly, "You deserve a great deal of credit for getting rid of the evil vipers in Mystic Butterfly Valley. Without your Shark's Dan, Ye Jiming would never have won. Because I was busy searching for me, the viper's corpse was brought into the Jingxu Peak, and I have not been able to dispose of it. I have already asked Eldest Senior Brother for a few treasures from that viper's body, snake dan, snake bones, and snake bile, all of which are superb and beneficial to your cultivation."
Chi Xiaochi exhausted his entire body and acting skills, only enough to support him to calmly finish four words, "Many thanks, Master."
A long silence ensued.
Chi Xiaochi thought slowly and in a trance, so trance-like that it felt like she hadn't thought about anything just then.
But he remembers one positive thing: "Ye Jiming ......"
Wen Yujing knew all about his concerns, "I have already told my senior brother that I saw that Ye Jiming in Shi Yushan, a good boy who is a bit reckless. His presence there was justified. With me as his guarantor, he will be fine."
Chi Xiaochi : "Uh-huh. Thank you, Master."
Silence on both sides again.
The bitter flavor of the medicine became clearer and clearer as the jade spoon touched the bottom of the bowl again and again, and Wen Yujing choked and coughed twice as his throat became itchy.
Chi Xiaochi's heart raced as she put the medicine bowl down and went to rub his chest, "What's wrong?"
One hand lifted and pressed his hand to the left side of his heart.
He was watching him, his fingertips clasped together.
Chi Xiaochi only felt that the hand was soft and cold, and the gentle yet insistent gaze distracted him from all sense of touch.
All his conditioning was declared null and void with this man.
Wen Yujing asked him softly, "Is there anything else you want to ask me?"
