Chapter 1268 Let You Understand
Looking at the eager eyes of several people, Zhou Shu said slowly, "I do know the whereabouts of Taoist Heng Lang, but..."
Mu Lianshan said anxiously, "But what?"
Zhou Shu said in a soothing voice, "But I want to know the reason, so I will consider whether to tell you or not."
Chang Shen couldn't help saying, "What's your reasoning? You tell us the whereabouts of Taoist Heng Lang, and we will pay you. What do you care about other things?"
Zhou Shu smiled faintly, "That's not what I said. It's not a business transaction. How do I know what you Shushan are looking for Taoist Henglang to do? If you want to kill him and let his soul be wiped out, then Didn't I become an accomplice? As a cultivator, one must stick to one's own heart, and doing things that are not clear and unreasonable is a violation of one's heart, which is very detrimental to one's cultivation, I think you should understand."
Chang Shen's face froze, and he couldn't help scolding, "Why would we do that?"
Mu Lianshan shook his head, "That's right, it's too late for us to protect him, how could we kill him? Fellow Daoist, you think too much."
Their answers also made Zhou Shu even more puzzled. What's the point of protecting an abandoned student from Shushan who was tortured to seal his heart? Of course, his rhetoric is more about wanting to know the truth of the matter.
Miao Ruolan nodded, "What Zhou Daoyou said is also reasonable, you can't violate your heart, you do have concerns, so what do you want to do?"
Zhou Shu thought for a while, and said solemnly, "After I understand the whole story, I am willing to say it, and I will tell you of course, even if I don't need any reward, but it is very difficult for me to say it when I don't know anything. .”
"Anyway, you want to understand the whole thing, right?"
Miao Ruolan pondered a bit, and her expression became serious, "This matter is the secret of Mount Shu, which is related to the rise and fall of Mount Shu. If you find out, you will probably be involved in it, and you may even be unable to get out. Are you sure you want to To know?"
Mu Lianshan followed and said, "That's right, Fellow Daoist Zhou, this matter really has a lot to do with it, even bigger than the barbarian invasion of Shushan."
Chang Shen snorted, "Maybe it's better if you don't know, if you know the whole story, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
Zheng Tianlang has the deepest relationship with Zheng Henglang, but he can't get into the conversation at this time. Among them, he is obviously the lowest. It is strange to say that he is over three thousand years old, and his aptitude is not bad, not to mention that he is practicing in Shushan. But still stagnated at the first level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and I don't know why.
Seeing the solemnity of what they said, Zhou Shu couldn't help but fell into deep thought, but after thinking for a few breaths, he nodded, "I still want to know, things need to be clear, so that we can have a clear conscience."
Miao Ruolan looked at Zhou Shu and nodded slowly, "Okay, if you want to understand, I will let you understand."
Chang Shen's expression froze, and he couldn't help but send a voice transmission, "Elder Miao, do you really want to let him know all about it? This matter is too important, isn't it good?"
Miao Ruolan said indifferently, "He took us as a hostage, the thing that monks value most, what can we say?"
Chang Shen glanced at Zhou Shu, with a lot of distrust in his eyes, "Elder Miao, have you considered it? If he knew the truth of the matter, he would not tell us the whereabouts of Taoist Henglang. Taoist Henglang got that treasure."
Mu Lianshan shook his head, "I don't think he would do that, besides... now we don't know what Taoist Henglang's attitude is towards us in Shushan. Back then, he suffered for his younger brother and was punished by his teacher to seal his heart. I'm afraid we already hate Shushan to death, so it's not good to involve outsiders like this."
Chang Shen was dissatisfied, "How come, who wouldn't want that treasure?"
Mu Lianshan just shook his head, "Zhou Daoyou is so stubborn, he shouldn't take things that don't belong to him."
Chang Shen showed a lot of disdain, "That treasure is by no means ordinary, for it, everyone is willing to give up their hearts."
"Stop arguing."
Miao Ruolan frowned and said, "Of course I have thought about these things, but he sticks to his heart. We have no other choice. Let's trust him and tell him to worry about it."
Chang Shenxian was not very willing, so he continued to send voice transmission, "Elder Miao, can we work together to take him down? Then force him to speak out, wouldn't everything be fine?"
He glanced at Zhou Shu, as if eager to try.
Zhou Shu knew that they were discussing, and Chang Shen's look was quite provocative, and he also felt the meaning in it, so he just smiled coldly and responded.
"No."
Mu Lianshan quickly shook his head, "Elder Chang's words are wrong. He just made a contribution to us in Shushan, but you want to arrest him and force him. Wouldn't it make people laugh at us? Besides, even Elder Miao is not his opponent. So what, it's not difficult for him to escape, doing this kind of thing will do harm but no benefit."
Chang Shen still insisted, "Follow the power in a hurry, just compensate him after the fact, nothing will miss him."
"You think too simply," Miao Ruolan shook her head slightly, and said calmly, "I have calculated that the four of us plus the formation may trap Zhou Shu and force him to stay, but we must also The loss is not small, what's more, he is not alone, and the other person is likely to be stronger than him."
"What, it's impossible, isn't it?"
Chang Shen was startled when he heard the sound, and glanced at Qingque next to Zhou Shu, "Although she is in the Tribulation Realm, she doesn't pass through the Tribulation Realm, and she doesn't come from a great sect, so what threat can she pose to us?"
Miao Ruolan said lightly, "The second level of the tribulation realm is not a great sect. What you said is correct, but her strength cannot be measured by these conditions. I checked and she is one of the four guardians of Wushuang City." One of them, Qingque."
"Peerless City?"
"Blue sparrow?"
Chang Shen and Mu Lianshan were stunned, with an expression of disbelief, "So she is the protector of Wushuang City? Isn't her status the same as the elder protector of Shushan? Such a big man will come out with Zhou Shu , and almost never speak like a servant?"
Miao Ruolan sighed softly, "I didn't believe it when I found out, but the facts are the same. I can only say that Wushuang City values Zhou Shu much more than we expected. We want to catch him because we want to offend him. Wushuang City, let alone Qingque, we are very likely to be unable to catch him even if we want to, and will lose Shushan's face. This is the key. For that treasure, we will not hesitate to offend Wushuang City, but we can't Doing things that are completely unsure."
Chang Shen was stunned for a while, "But according to the elder, I have nothing to say."
"Elder Miao, you can decide."
Mu Lianshan nodded along, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief as he lowered his head. It seemed that he was the last person here who didn't want Shushan and Zhou Shu to be embarrassed.
Miao Ruolan nodded, turned to Zhou Shu and said, "Zhou Shu, come in with me."
As she spoke, she walked into the Fangting Pavilion on the side, Zhou Shu paused for a while, and then followed in, while Qing Que stood where she was and did not follow.
She knew that Shushan would definitely not tell her about this, but because of face transmission and it was not easy to communicate with Zhou Shu face to face, she used this method to politely reject her, and she didn't care much, because she knew Zhou Shu would tell her.
