    Chapter 256 [Tianyin Pavilion] Ups and downs of life

    “The Cold Scale Saint’s face is covered with black gauze all day long, and he stays in seclusion in the alchemy room all year round. He has little contact with the outside world, so as long as he controls a person of similar size, it will be difficult for others to detect him.”

    Jiang Xi frowned and said, “You mean, Gu Yueye’s Hua Binan is fake?”

    “Sometimes it’s true, sometimes it’s false. If you want to avoid being discovered, it’s best to mix the true and false.”

    Jiang Xi thought: “In this case, Shi Mingjing should be able to use Zhenlong Chess Game, but our Medicine Sect’s spiritual power is not strong, so it is unlikely that we can master this technique.”

    “Headmaster Jiang is right. The Zhenlong chess game requires a huge loss of spiritual power. Hua Binan is familiar with the theory, but due to the weak magic power, he cannot use it alone. So he had to conspire with Xu Shuanglin before -”

    Jiang Xi shook his head: “No. Xu Shuanglin once said that the person behind the scenes was his friend. Because he was unwilling to betray his friend, he never told us who that person was until his death. If according to what you said, Shi Mo is Hua Binan, Xu Shuanglin should have recognized him. So why did Xu Shuanglin still not rebel after the rebirth barrier was destroyed by Hua Binan?”

    Mo Ran said: “Because Xu Shuanglin doesn’t know that Shi Mo and Hua Binan are the same person.”

    Master Xuanjing next to him twisted his beard and said: “Since we are close friends with each other, how could we not know about such a big thing…”

    “It’s Xu Shuanglin who regards Shi Mo as a close friend.” Mo Ran said, “But Shi Mo can’t really have a heart-to-heart relationship with him. On this chessboard, Xu Shuanglin is just an important chess piece, nothing more.”

    He paused and continued: “Back in the Jiaoshan Hall, Hua Binan was injured and took off her veil. That face was extremely ugly, like an echinoderm. Now that I think about it, it should be just a well-made human skin mask. For Xu Shuanglin, he may have only seen the first face of his ‘best friend’ in his life, which is the face that belongs to Shi Mei. He will not associate Hua Binan’s face with Shi Mei at all. So heUntil his death, he did not think that he had been framed or used by his friends, so naturally he would not reveal the truth behind it.”

    Jiang Xi said: “According to your opinion, Shi Mingjing and Hua Binan appeared at the same time on Jiao Mountain, and one of them was a controlled Zhenlong chess piece?”

    “I guess so. But there’s a second possibility.”

    “What?”

    Mo Ran shook his head: “I want to talk about the second one later.”

    Master Xuanjing said: “Then even if the first possibility of Donor Mo is right, the poor monk still feels that there is still one thing that doesn’t make sense – Hua Binan has no reason to interrupt Xu Shuanglin’s rebirth array. Does he have a grudge against Xu Shuanglin? Is it possible that if Xu Shuanglin gets his wish and Luo Fenghua is reborn, what harm will it do to him?”

    Mo Ran sighed and said: “Has the master forgotten the final result of Xu Shuanglin’s spell?”

    The old bald donkey didn’t react for a moment and shook his head.

    Mo Ran said: “Judging from the crack in the sky that was opened that day, Shi Mo did not teach Xu Shuanglin the real art of rebirth at all.”

    “Ah…”

    “He has been deceiving Xu Shuanglin. Xu Shuanglin spent a lot of time thinking that he was setting up a rebirth formation, but in fact he was making a wedding dress for Hua Binan, who did not have enough spiritual power.”

    “Then what does Hua Binan teach…”

    “It is the greatest forbidden technique in the world.” Mo Ran paused and finally said, “What he taught Xu Shuanglin is the gate of life and death in time and space.”

    “!”

    Anyone who was present and participated in the Battle of Jiaoshan cannot help but think of the black cave that opened in the sky at that time, and thousands of mysterious monks came out of it…

    Is that actually the gate of life and death in time and space?

    Mo Ran said: “This is the second possibility I just mentioned. As long as the gate of life and death in time and space exists, both Hua Binan and Shi Mei may be true, but one belongs to this world of mortals, and the other comes from another world of cultivation.”

    Everyone was silent after hearing this, and then someone clapped their legs and burst into laughter: “Master Mo, are you putting the child to sleep? You are trying to fool people with this mythical forbidden technique. And two masters are clear… Hahahahaha! I laughed to death.”

    “That’s right, how is it possible? It’s a forbidden secret that was lost thousands of years ago… Who can learn it?”

    “The most important volume of the Time and Space Gate of Life and Death is said to have been sealed in the Flame Emperor Divine Tree. Even if someone is studying this forbidden spell, the most they can learn is space, and it cannot be time and space. Otherwise, if one earthly world overlaps with another, wouldn’t the world be in chaos!”

    Mo Ran does not argue with them, but talks about all his thoughts on his own.He knew that this was probably his last confession as Master Mo. After today, these people might not give him a chance to explain anything in the future.

    He used his confession as a bargaining chip to exchange for the calmness of these people who were seeking their lives. He just hoped to tell everyone present what he guessed and knew.Regardless of whether you believe it or not at the moment, what he said is a wake-up call. If there is turmoil in the future, some people will think of his reminder today, and it may not be too late.

    “Just imagine, if I were Hua Binan, I mastered the essence of the Zhenlong chess game and the door of life and death in time and space, but I was born with insufficient spiritual power and no position to act arbitrarily. What should I do?”

    Most of the people here have a grudge against Mo Ran and are not willing to listen to his advice.

    But Jiang Xi admired Mo Ran because of some previous things, not to mention Gu Yue Ye’s murder case. He himself had doubts, so he thought seriously for a while and said: “…I will find someone to help.”

    “Who will help you?”

    “Nobody.”

    Mo Ran said: “Yes, there is really no one, so I can only lie. Lie to someone like Xu Shuanglin, who has a great desire in his heart, to help him complete his plan step by step.”

    Master Xuanjing said: “Donor Mo is ridiculous. There is no way that magic circle could be anything else? The Gate of Life and Death in Time and Space is really not something that ordinary people can learn. For thousands of years, no one has ever mastered it. The most important essence of the book has been lost. Who can practice it?”

    “That’s right, this is simply a fantasy.”

    “You might as well say that the Great God Fuxi came to the world. This is no different from the opening of the door of life and death in time and space.”

    “It’s so ridiculous that no storyteller dares to say it.”

    There was a buzz in the Danxin Hall, and finally, someone sneered: “Master Mo, you have been laying the groundwork for so long. Are you going to tell us that the person who killed all the heroes on Gu Yue Ye is the other you who came to this world through the Gate of Life and Death?”

    Mo Ran: “…”

    Seeing that he remained silent, someone in the hall burst into laughter: “Awesome, really awesome. Grandmaster Mo can really make up anything in order to excuse himself.”

    “You dare to go around for a long time, do you want to clear your name?”

    Jiang Xi couldn’t stand the noise, so he turned around, fluttered his sleeves, and said angrily to the people who were leading the heckles: “Speak as long as you speak, what are you doing in such a weird way?”

    Master Xuanjing clasped his hands together and said: “Master Jiang, it’s not because of the yin and yang of others, but it’s really unbelievable what Grandmaster Mo said. In the opinion of the old monk, it’s better to invite him to Tianyin Pavilion for questioning first, and then make a decision.”

    “Yes, the master of Tianyin Pavilion will be here soon. When she comes, let Grandmaster Mo go with her.”

    Before Jiang Xi could speak, Xue Zhengyong spoke. Although he had a complicated mood, he still said: “I think what Ran’er said can be explained. Maybe the door of time and space has really been torn apart. Tianyin Pavilion is the place where heinous people are interrogated. Before the matter is found out, he cannot go with you.”

    “That’s right!” A disciple from the top of life and death stood up, “The line between life and death on Jiao Mountain is very thin. If Senior Brother Mo hadn’t saved you, would you be able to stand here well? If he wanted to subvert the world of cultivation, he would have trapped everyone on Jiao Mountain!”

    Master Xuanjing was stunned: “This…”

    Someone said: “It’s true. At that time, everyone was trapped in the Jiaoshan Tunnel. Master Mo tried to get us out. He wanted to harm people, so he could start at that time.”

    This is true. Many people thought about this issue and were silent for a while.

    But silence does not mean consent.Many people present are still wearing mourning clothes at this moment. Their relatives and friends have recently lost their lives, and they feel extremely sad.What’s more, the survivors who were in Jiaoshan Flower Hall at that time saw Mo Ran murder with their own eyes. Except for Mei Hanxue, the witnesses expressed doubts about the situation at that time, and everyone else was sure that it was Mo Ran himself.In this case, it is not easy for them to give up looking for Mo Ran to collect debts and life, and instead believe in some time and space door of life and death that only appeared in myths?

    So soon, someone retorted: “But I feel very uncomfortable about this matter. Don’t you remember? On Huangshan Mountain, Grandmaster Mo’s control of the entire situation and the Zhenlong chess game was extremely precise. He said that Master Mingjinghui Zhenlong chess game, but I feel that the person who knows a lot about this forbidden art is him himself.”

    “That’s right.” After the rebuttal, someone immediately echoed, “There is one more thing, don’t you think it’s strange? Why can Mo Ran break through the Jiaoshan barrier? – He is not a descendant of the Nangong family.”

    Just as he finished speaking, a loud female voice suddenly came from outside Danxin Hall.

    “There’s nothing strange about this. Because the blood flowing on Master Mo’s body is the blood of the Nangong family.”

    Everyone suddenly looked back, only to see a guard captain dressed in silver and green attire, with a silver medal in the shape of a “sky” on his waist, advancing straight in. The leader was a beautiful woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties, seventy-eight years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a beautiful face. She was extremely beautiful, even comparable to Song Qiutong, the most beautiful woman in the world of cultivation at that time. However, she was very beautiful, but her whole temperament seemed very cold.

    When everyone saw her, most of their expressions changed, and even a few heads had a look of awe on their faces.

    Only Jiang Xi didn’t react much and nodded: “The Pavilion Master is finally here.”

    This well-dressed woman is none other than Mu Yanli, the master of Tianyin Pavilion who has not been out of the world for a long time.

    Mu Yanli is in charge of Tianyin Pavilion, and the serious unsolved cases in the upper and lower realms will eventually fall into her hands, and she will preside over the trial – but there are not many cases that require Tianyin Pavilion to dispatch, so the leader of Tianyin Pavilion will often not appear in front of the public for ten or twenty years.

    Because he doesn’t go out often, Mu Yanli’s skin is extremely fair, and faint blue blood vessels can be seen under the skin.She walked into the hall, stopped, and said calmly: “I’m sorry to keep you waiting for so long.”

    Master Xuanjing asked: “The master of the pavilion came a little later than the scheduled time, but there was something delayed in the pavilion?”

    Mu Yanli shook his head: “That’s not the case. When Tianyin Pavilion arrests people, it can never be based on nothing. So before coming here, our pavilion was thoroughly investigating some of the past events of Grandmaster Mo at the Peak of Death and Life.”

    She paused, and looked at Mo Ran with a pair of almond-shaped eyes coldly, her red lips parted slightly: “After this investigation, I found that the matter is not so simple. The identity of Grandmaster Mo… is actually involved in an old case in Xiangtan many years ago.”

    Everyone looked at each other, a little confused: “What old case?”

    Only Mo Ran’s face became paler and his palms sweated.

    he didn’t expect that this matter would be said at this moment.

    Mu Yanli was like an executioner, glaring indifferently at the man kneeling in front of the palace, and said: “Mo Xianjun, don’t gossip. You know your own life experience. Should you tell it to the public yourself, or do you want me to invite witnesses into the palace?”

    “…” Mo Ran closed his eyes.

    As early as the beginning of his rebirth, he knew that if he wanted to live a life without worries, there were several people in this world that he had to kill with his own hands to avoid future troubles.But at the beginning, he had no strength and no chance.Later, I gained strength and opportunities, but I was no longer willing to take other people’s lives for my own selfish gain.

    In his previous life, in order to hide his life experience and hold on to the chips in his hand, he killed enough people.

    Seeing He’s silence, Mu Yanli said, “It seems that Grandmaster Mo doesn’t intend to confess on his own.”

    After she finished speaking, a hint of undisguised contempt appeared on her cold and beautiful face, and then she turned around with a roll of her sleeves and faced the crowd of guests, her voice like a bell, permeating people’s hearts.

    “Then let me tell you. Listen, everyone – this famous Grand Master was already a murderer responsible for dozens of lives before he worshiped at the pinnacle of death and life. Such extremely evil people should have been brought to justice long ago!”

    “What?!”

    “He had killed dozens of people before joining the sect?”

    Xue Meng’s eyes widened and he was confused, he murmured: “Brother…?”

    This sound was not quiet, but it happened to fall into Mu Yanli’s ears. Mu Yanli glanced at the young master at the top of life and death, and said lightly: “Brother?”

    Xue Meng: “…”

    The rain and snow outside are getting heavier and heavier, and the sky is getting heavier and darker. Even though the candles in the temple are brightly lit, it is still heavy and suffocating.

    Mu Yanli looked at Mo Ran with a look full of contempt, and looked at Xue Meng with a look full of sarcasm.Her lips were like red clouds and she said: “Young Master Xue is really pitiful if you accept your enemy as your brother.”

    Xue Meng obviously didn’t realize the meaning of this sentence, but there was already thunder in his head, as if the earth was cracking and the sky was falling.He opened his clear eyes and took a step back: “What… why do you think you are a brother?”

    He trembled all over: “What are you talking about…”

    Mu Yanli ignored him and turned around and said: “Mo Weiyu is not the nephew of Head Xue at all. What’s worse.” She paused, and a pair of beautiful and ruthless eyes were like sharp knives, passing over the faces of Xue Zhengyong and Mrs. Wang, and said without fairness or without cruelty:

    “Head Xue’s nephew died in the hands of Mo Ran as early as eight years ago!”
