Chapter 798
Qi Xiao's madness made Jiang Li become extra calm. He said, "Two fellow Taoists, you chose to plot against Bai Shu. I have no objection to this, but I will not participate in this matter."
"Baizhu asked Sun Shushu to slap you a few times. Is this how you endured it?" Qi Xiao's eyes widened.
"Anyway, I have also beaten Sun Shu, so let's forget about it for me!" Jiang Li shrugged.
Seeing what Qi Xiao wanted to say, Shang Hong spoke up first: "It doesn't matter. If you don't want to participate, don't participate!"
Jiang Li is different from Qi Xiao. He is a domestic slave belonging to the Immortal Mansion. He does not have a deep friendship with Shang Hong. If he wants to withdraw, Shang Hong will naturally not force him to stay.
"Since you don't participate, there is no need to live in this cave anymore. What an inconvenience it will be!" Qi Xiao sneered.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Qi, I will move out of the cave right now. Take care, Fellow Daoist!"
Looking at Jiang Li's leaving figure, Qi Xiao said angrily: "I thought Sun Cheng was a mouse, but I didn't expect that you, Jiang Li, are not much worse!"
Jiang Li naturally heard Qi Xiao's words, but he didn't say anything else. He had a vague feeling that following Shang Hong would be bad luck, so he decisively quit! Even if he was looked down upon by Qi Xiao and Shang Hong, it was better to face the smile on Gu Zheng's lips.
Ten days passed unknowingly. During these ten days, the days of Guzheng were still so regular. After serving every day, they returned to the cave to practice the 'separation of mind and spirit'.
In ten days, Gu Zheng met Sun Cheng several times. Through Sun Cheng, he learned that the matter seemed to have really passed. Shang Hong no longer caused trouble for him, and Shang Hong himself was at Yaoguang Peak. In the 'Illusion Battlefield', I competed with others twice more, and my winning streak has become twenty-eight.
Although nothing seemed to happen on the surface, Sun Cheng still reminded Gu Zheng to be careful, because the day after Sun Cheng whipped Qi Xiao, Sun Cheng's service time changed, and he no longer served during the time Gu Zheng served.
In this regard, Sun Chengyou asked the immortal official why he wanted to change his service time. The immortal official scolded him, but did not give him a reason.
Sun Cheng was worried that if Gu Zheng did not serve under his eyes, Shang Hong's people might still have some tricks up their sleeves.
Regarding Sun Cheng's reminder, Gu Zheng just smiled noncommittally. If Shang Hong's people really wanted to seek death, he would definitely make the other party regret it.
It was time for Gu Zheng to serve again. He was observing the changes in the immortal power in the formation, but he had no idea that Qi Xiao was approaching him.
Looking at Gu Zheng, whose situation outside the battle was unknown, Qi Xiao really wanted to hit him to death with one palm! However, the consequences of this are too serious. Immortal cultivators who are serving are killed, and the immortal officials will definitely investigate thoroughly. Otherwise, people will be in panic, and who would dare to concentrate on serving.
The immortal power on his fingertips flicked against the patterns of the Ancient Immortal Formation several times, and Qi Xiao left coldly.
Qi Xiao's movement of hands and feet this time was very similar to the effect it had last time. It would cause Gu Zheng to have wrong feelings and thus mishandle the immortal power.
However, even if the ancient dispute went wrong last time, the consequences would not be too serious. At most, it would cause the Immortal Formation to make strange noises. After the Immortal Officials came over, they would be able to contain it quickly. Although the consequences of this error can be dealt with quickly, the situation seems to be much more serious than last time, and the entire Immortal Formation will be suspended due to this.
Two minutes after Qi Xiao left, the hands and feet he moved caused Gu Zheng to have a wrong sense. He made an error in the steps of scheduling the immortal power required by the immortal array, and a harsh roar suddenly erupted in the array! The entire immortal formation stopped operating, and all the immortal cultivators in the formation were forced to break away from controlling the immortal formation.
Everyone looked at Gu Zheng, and the strange noises of the immortal formation continued. In the lattice of the immortal formation where he was, the formation patterns were flashing abnormally like neon lights.
He Xianguan, who was on duty in the cave today, had been bribed by Shang Hong, and he immediately flew towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng glanced across the cave and found that Qi Xiao and other patrolling immortal cultivators were not in the cave. They had completed their temporary duty today and left the cave.
The angry He Xianguan glanced at Gu Zheng, and then quickly repaired the mistakes in the immortal array. Soon the abnormal noise stopped and the operation of the immortal array returned to normal.
"You take his place!"
He Xianguan said to the assistant beside him, and the assistant immediately entered the immortal formation grid where Gu Zheng was. All the immortal cultivators also took their positions, and the immortal formation started to operate again.
"If you can't do even the smallest thing well, follow me to Kaiyang Peak!"
The Kaiyang Peak that He Xianguan mentioned was a place of confinement in the Immortal Camp.
If serving immortal cultivators make mistakes, they are usually imprisoned in the black room on Kaiyang Peak, where punishment is unavoidable, and there is no immortal energy in the black room, and there are all kinds of torturous interference. , If you want to practice while in confinement, you really don’t have to think about things.
As long as Gu Zheng is imprisoned in a dark room, Qi Xiao and others will have a way to kill him, and then there will be no problems. After all, if a person makes a mistake and is imprisoned, no one will care about him even if he dies.
"He Xianguan, it's not that I made a mistake in this matter, but that someone plotted against me!" Gu Zheng said.
"Is there someone plotting against you? Someone will naturally interrogate you when you get to Kaiyang Peak. Come out with me now!" He Xianguan shouted angrily.
Gu Zheng frowned and suddenly said through a message: "Were you bribed by Qi Xiao and the others?"
Gu Zheng just felt that it was suspicious that He Xianguan insisted on taking him to Kaiyang Peak first without asking any questions, so he asked this question.
"When you asked him, his mood swings were abnormal. It seems that he was probably bribed!"
The voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind.
"Be bold!"
At the same time, He Xianguan roared angrily and drew the immortal whip in his hand towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand, and the fairy whip, which was very tricky to attack, was caught in his hand.
"How about we talk?"
Gu Zheng smiled, not at all panicked by the situation.
"What do I have to talk to you about? If you dare to disobey the Immortal Official's order, is this going to increase your punishment?"
Gu Zheng always used voice transmission, but He Xianguan used normal speech. It was obvious that he didn't want to argue with Gu.
He Xianguan's attitude made Gu Zheng's face turn cold. He who wanted to bribe He Xianguan smiled coldly and said again: "He Xianguan, I advise you to handle this matter impartially! Otherwise, When I go to Kaiyang Peak, I will tell you everything I know, and it will be up to you how you end up!"
Originally, Gu Zheng planned to use resources to bribe He Xianguan, but since this guy was so ignorant, he wouldn't be able to earn these resources.
He Xianguan frowned. Gu Zheng's disobedience and guessing the truth of the matter made him feel a little troublesome.
Qi Xiao did not bribe the immortal officials on Kaiyang Peak. He Xianguan knew this. All he had to do was to "enforce the law impartially" and just send Gu Zheng to Kaiyang Peak. As for other things He doesn't need to worry about it.
Originally, this was a very simple matter in He Xianguan's opinion. Generally, no immortal cultivator would dare to disobey the Xianguan's order.
However, when Shang Hong bribed Official He Xian, he concealed that Qi Xiao had already used similar methods to plot against Gu Zheng! This point is very important. If He Xianguan knew this, he would definitely not let Shang Hong's bribery succeed. After all, although the immortal cultivators were obedient, rabbits would bite people when they were anxious, not to mention that they had already been tricked once.
He Xianguan's fairy whip was caught by Gu Zheng, and there was a temporary stalemate between the two.
"He Xianguan, there is something I don't know if you are clear about. Qi Xiao has already done the same scheme to me once, but Sun Cheng happened to see it that time, so the matter did not become a big deal. Could it be that you Did you accept their bribe without knowing this? "
In Gu Zheng's view, He Xianguan dared to accept bribes because he either thought he was a soft persimmon, or He Xianguan didn't know that similar things had already happened! Otherwise, as an immortal official, he would not have taken such a risk.
After hearing what Gu Zheng said, He Xianguan's originally frowned brows became even more wrinkled.
At the same time, a shout sounded.
"What's going on?"
A tall figure flew into the cave. The person who came was none other than Geng Xianguan who had led Gu Zheng to see the cave.
Several immortal officials outside the cave also heard the strange noises in the immortal formation. However, there were immortal officials on duty in the cave, and it could be heard from the abnormal noise that the problems in the immortal array would be solved soon, so they did not come over. However, a while had passed. Seeing that Official He Xiang had not yet brought out the erring cultivator, Official Geng came to take a look.
The arrival of Geng Xianguan made He Xianguan relax his frown.
"This person has a problem controlling the Immortal Formation. I want to take him to Kaiyang Peak, but he says he was tricked."
He Xianguan's words made Gu Zheng laugh in his heart. He Xianguan would say this, which only meant that he was forced by the situation and was willing to enforce the law impartially.
"Is there such a thing? Do you have any evidence?"
The original fifteen Blue Immortal Coins in Guzheng did not have white flowers. Wang Xianguan and Geng Xianguan were actually partners. One was responsible for bringing the immortal cultivators over, and the other was responsible for arranging positions for the immortal cultivators. As the saying goes, eating people has short mouths, and taking people has short hands. Since Gu Zheng had given immortal coins before, Geng Immortal Officer had a little more patience when facing this kind of problem! And his little patience also gave Gu Zheng a chance to explain.
Facing Official Geng’s inquiry, Gu Zheng told the story about Qi Xiao’s scheme against him before, and then spoke again: “Actually, before you came here, Official Geng, He Xianguan had already believed what I said and was about to find him. Qi Xiao is coming!"
Since Official He Xiang decided to enforce the law impartially, Gu Zheng would naturally leave the burden to him.
He Xianguan secretly cursed Gu Zheng, and said with a righteous look on his face: "That's right! Since Qi Xiao had plotted against Baizhu before, it's not necessarily true that Baizhu's mistake this time was caused by him! I was just about to send someone Find Qi Xiao and find out what’s going on!”
"Without direct evidence, what's the use of asking Qi Xiao? If Qi Xiao had made the calculation, he wouldn't admit it! As for judging by soul searching, not only is this undesirable, we don't have the power either!"
Geng Xianguan paused, looked at Gu Zheng and said: "Baizhu, you can't fake it if it's real, and you can't fake it if it's fake, so just go up to Kaiyang Peak, and there will naturally be a decision on this matter!"
Gu Zheng frowned. He had seen through Qi Xiao's plan. It was obvious that he wanted him to go to Kaiyang Peak! In this case, he definitely can't go to Kaiyang Peak.
Just when Gu Zheng was about to speak, Qi Xiao returned to the cave.
As a patrol officer, the required service in one day is divided into two. After the first service is over, you can stay at Tianshu Peak to wait for the second service. Because he was thinking about the outcome of the ancient dispute, Qi Xiao, who had not left, was waiting outside the cave!
"Baizhu, when I heard you say that I plotted against you, I came over to take a look."
Qi Xiao was very calm when he entered the cave. He looked at Gu Zheng up and down, and then smiled disdainfully.
"As Immortal Officer Geng said, what is true cannot be faked, and what is false cannot be true! If I let two Immortal Officials search my soul, and the results of the soul search can prove my innocence, will the Baishu penalty be increased one level? "Qi Xiao looked at the two immortal officials and said.
Geng Xianguan just frowned, while He Xianguan's heart was tied together. This time there were really many twists and turns. How dare Qi Xiao take the initiative to have his soul searched!
However, after thinking about it, He Xianguan understood that if Qi Xiao dared to do this, he would naturally have his support. He is a demon cultivator, and his cultivation is in the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian. It is not that difficult to have some means to change memory.
"You all come here!"
A man's voice sounded, and another immortal official appeared in the cave far away from the immortal formation.
"Walk!"
He Xianguan and Geng Xianguan greeted Gu Zheng and Qi Xiao at the same time.
"Lord Tiger!"
After arriving far away from the immortal formation, Geng Xianguan and He Xianguan cupped their fists together at the immortal official who had just appeared. Immortal officials are also divided into three, six or nine levels, such as Geng Immortal Officials and He Immortal Officials. They are only the Immortal Officials with the lowest official rank in the Immortal Camp.
"Even if something happens, is it appropriate to do the interrogation in the Immortal Formation? What if someone jumps over the wall in a hurry and destroys the Immortal Formation?"
With dignity on his resolute face, Tiger Immortal Officer scolded Geng Immortal Officer and He Immortal Officer.
"Master Tiger taught us that we were negligent!"
He Xianguan and Geng Xianguan quickly admitted their mistake.
Staring at He Xianguan and Geng Xianguan fiercely, Hu Xianguan looked at Qi Xiao and said: "If the results of the soul search prove that you are innocent, Bai Shu will naturally be punished with an additional penalty!"
Hu Xianguan paused, then looked at Gu Zheng: "If Qi Xiao did not accuse you unjustly, then you first neglected your duties, disobeyed the Xianguan's orders, and then framed others. If you combine these three crimes, you will be punished on the spot. You can’t go too far in erasing it!”
Tiger Immortal Official has a very high official position, and the entire Tianshu Peak is under his jurisdiction! Although according to the rules, the final decision on this matter lies in the hands of Kaiyang Peak Immortal Official, but now that Hu Immortal Official has spoken, if there is no problem in Qi Xiao's memory, his judgment on the ancient dispute is also valid.
"Since the matter can only be clearly understood through soul searching, let us three immortal officials search Qi Xiao's soul to show justice!" said the tiger immortal official.
"I will obey Lord Tiger's order!"
Geng Xianguan and He Xianguan said in unison.
"Do you two have any objections?"
Official Huxian looked at Gu Zheng and Qi Xiao.
"Can!"
Gu Zheng shrugged.
"No objection!"
Qi Xiao's heart clenched into a ball.
Qi Xiao can indeed change his memory, but everything has a trace. It just depends on whether he wants to follow the trace.
If it were just He Xianguan and Geng Xianguan, or even the soul-searching Xianguan responsible for interrogating on Kaiyang Peak, Qi Xiao would not be afraid! Because the cultivation level of these three immortal officials is not as high as his, he is not worried at all that the changed memory will be seen.
However, Tiger Immortal Official's cultivation level is already at the late stage of Daluo Jinxian. He once set a record of fifty consecutive victories on Yaoguang Peak's 'Illusion Realm Battlefield'! Qi Xiao was really unsure whether his soul search could find anything.
Now that there is no way out, Qi Xiao can only stiffen his neck and wait for the unknown fate.
"You said before that Qi Xiao had plotted against you more than once, so when was the first time he plotted against you?"
Facing the Tiger Immortal Officer's question, Gu Zheng told the time when Qi Xiao made his first calculation.
"Okay, now that we have time, let's search Qi Xiao's soul from the time mentioned by Bai Shu. You two will do it first!"
There is nothing wrong with what the Tiger Immortal Official said. Even if it is necessary to search for the souls of immortal cultivators, you cannot look through all their memories. Who doesn't have some secrets? This is the basic requirement of the Immortal Official for searching the souls of immortal cultivators.
He Xianguan and Geng Xianguan looked at each other, and Geng Xianguan started searching for souls.
After a while.
"Master Hu, the search results of Qi Xiao's soul found nothing illegal."
Whether Geng Xianguan's way is good or not, he didn't find anything wrong with the memory changed by Qi Xiao.
He Xianguan also conducted a soul search on Qi Xiao, and the result of the soul search also found no problems.
"Qi Xiao, now it's my turn to search for souls. If you have really plotted against Bai Shu, according to the rules in the immortal camp, you will have to endure the torture of destroying both body and soul!" said the Tiger Immortal Officer sternly.
"I know!"
Qi Xiao gritted his teeth but did not open his eyes. Even though he was suppressing it, his heartbeat was still very fast.
The Tiger Immortal Officer put his hand on Qi Xiao's head, and the soul search started immediately.
In just a few breaths, Qi Xiao's heart was filled with fear.
"It's over!"
Qi Xiao wailed in his heart. The clues about his changed memory were discovered by the Tiger Immortal Officer. The Tiger Immortal Officer broke through the disguise of his memory and was looking at what really happened.
Suddenly, Qi Xiao's heart trembled, and the only thought in his mind was, what on earth is going on?
Before Qi Xiao could figure out what was going on, the Tiger Immortal Officer, who had completed the soul search, said, "I didn't find anything illegal in Qi Xiao's soul search!"
Qi Xiao was shocked, things turned around like this, he really didn't expect it! The Tiger Immortal Official, who has always been upright, actually strengthened his disguised memory! And with the reinforcement of the Tiger Immortal Officer, Qi Xiao felt that unless the Quasi-Sage took action, no one would be able to see that there was a problem with his memory!
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Qi Xiao laughed wildly. This kind of ups and downs in his heart was so fucking exciting.
Looking at Qi Xiao's wild laughter, Gu Zheng's eyes were full of pity.
For Gu Zheng, the real thing can't be fake, and the fake thing can't be real! Since Qi Xiao wants to plot against him, it would be too boring to expose him so easily. Before exposing him, let him experience the ups and downs of his mood, which is actually quite good!
"Go, kill Bai Shu!"
A fairy weapon in the shape of a mountain appeared in the hands of Tiger Immortal Official. When he frowned, the air in the whole cave tightened!
