"Once they knew that I was the last person they saw, they would definitely come to check on me!"
"No."
"We can't stay in the cave anymore."
What if I am trapped at home with no one around, wouldn’t I be at the mercy of others?
The scripture house!
That is the territory of the Taoist master's direct lineage.
Even though the Sun family is powerful, they still have some concerns and will not be too reckless!
He waited in fear until daybreak, and saw through the window that people were beginning to appear in the General Affairs Office. He immediately went out and headed straight for the Sutra-Channel.
……
As the sun rose higher and higher, the entire Yuquan Mountain gradually became lively.
Sun Chengye died in front of the gate of Jinding Mountain.
Not only the Sun family was angry, the other family was also angry.
Too arrogant!
Almost all the members of the Inspection Office were mobilized.
Starting from the rock pit where Chen Mu had escaped underground last night, they spread out and searched the mountain in circles.
Sun Jian also went out in person and led people to track Sun Chengye's movements.
He found out all the people he had seen in the past three days and investigated them one by one.
……
Sutra-Chuanyuan, first floor of Tianyi Pavilion.
Chen Mu was standing in front of the counter with two books in his hands.
"Have you made your choice? If you have, pay quickly!" a young man in his twenties said impatiently behind the counter.
"Let me take another look." Chen Mu's face was full of confusion.
"Look at nothing, if you want them, just buy them all." The young man slapped the table.
"No money." Chen Mu shrank his neck.
The two booklets respectively contain brief introductions to the Tongxi Baima Dan and Tianyao Zhuansheng Dan, as well as their prices.
Five thousand Taoist merits, ten thousand white jade coins, one copy!
Before, he thought he was quite wealthy, but after visiting the Sutra Academy and taking a closer look, he realized that he was not even a nouveau riche.
Just as he was struggling, two figures suddenly appeared beside Chen Mu.
One of the lame, short and thin old men grinned at Chen Mu's inquiring gaze.
"Wonderful method confuses the gods!"
A strange force suddenly enveloped Chen Mu.
Chen Mu only felt his whole body tremble, as if his soul had left his body and he lost control of his body.
He felt like he had become a bystander, watching himself standing there in a daze, not moving at all.
Oops!
Being controlled!
In his panic, he struggled instinctively... and actually managed to regain some control of his body!
With a thought, the little finger of his right hand hanging by his side suddenly curled up slightly.
Hey?!
"This person's secret method of confusing the mind... doesn't seem to be very effective."
He has always been quite resistant to psychedelic attacks.
Apart from the trick he had been tricked by Cuicui once before, other tricks like Wuxinling's soul-stealing power or ordinary ghost monsters' fear and intimidation had little effect on him.
"Uncle Sun, it's not good to attack your own disciple in front of me, right?" The young man behind the counter stood up suddenly.
"Young man Ying, two geniuses of my Sun family have died in a row, and the family heirloom magic weapon has disappeared."
"Now I'm just trying to confuse my mind and question my conscience. I've been very restrained!" Sun Jian said coldly.
Ying Tiance's expression changed slightly, and he could only sigh: "Uncle Master, please accept my condolences."
Then he said seriously: "I hope Uncle Master will not vent his anger on innocent people. Otherwise..."
The bet was right!
Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
In front of this Taoist master's direct descendant, Sun Jian obviously restrained himself.
If you are alone in the cave.
Maybe he would knock me down first. It's even possible that he would just use a ruthless blow to cripple me!
……
"Don't worry, Dean Yingdu. I practice the magic method of confusing the gods, and I am best at seducing souls and spirits."
"Anyone who is hit by this spell will have their mind taken away. What they say will come from the heart, and they will never wrongly accuse the innocent." The lame old man said with a smile.
Sun Jian glanced at Ying Tiance coldly, nodded his head slightly, and signaled the lame old man to act quickly.
The lame old man smiled and nodded slightly to Ying Tiance, then stepped forward and asked, "Did you see Sun Chengye yesterday?"
"Yes." Chen Mu answered honestly.
"What did you talk about?" the lame old man asked.
"He wants to recruit me as a retainer of the Sun family." Chen Mu's eyes were blank, and he spoke slowly like a fool.
The three people looked at Chen Mu with different eyes.
What kind of talent does this guy have that Sun Chengye has to personally win him over?
The doctor who was good at alchemy? Sun Jian knew it clearly.
"Do you agree?" the lame old man continued to ask.
"Only a fool would agree to that." Chen Mu said calmly.
Ok? !
Sun Jian's eyebrows suddenly raised.
"Why?" The lame old man suddenly became interested.
"I finally found a sucker, so of course I have to leave him alone for a few days. Otherwise, how can I raise the price?" Chen Mu said as a matter of course.
Sun Jian: "..."
Ying Tiance's face couldn't help but look strange.
The lame old man's face froze, and he glanced at Sun Jian carefully. Seeing that the other party looked unhappy, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "According to past habits, except for giving lectures at the beginning and middle of the month, you would stay in the cave to practice alone at other times."
"Why did you rush to the Sutra Academy this morning?" The lame old man stared at Chen Mu, and his magical power suddenly increased by three points.
Chen Mu's heart was suddenly confused and he couldn't help but open his mouth.
not good!
The seven souls return to their origin!
The truth that came to his throat was immediately swallowed back down.
Immediately, he said with a shrewd look on his face: "I finally met a sucker. In order to cheat more, of course I have to quickly check which alchemy secret method is more valuable!"
Sun Jian: "..."
Ying Tiance's expression became more and more strange.
"Ask him if he knows Sun Wuhuan!" Sun Jian said irritably.
"Sun Wuhuan?" Chen Mu showed a smug smile on his face.
"Why don't you recognize me?"
"That fat guy is trying to cheat me out of my money. I'm not that gullible victim like Sun Chengye. How could I possibly be fooled?"
Snapped!
Ying Tiance covered his mouth with his hand.
Someone in the Sun family died. You can’t laugh. You absolutely can’t laugh!
However, the victim...
what!
When Sun Jian heard this, veins popped up on his forehead. He waved his sleeves, turned around and left!
The lame old man quickly withdrew his magic power and quickly followed.
Chen Mu immediately pretended to wake up and slowly came back to his senses. Then his expression froze, as if he remembered something.
Then he sighed with regret.
"What's wrong?" Ying Tiance asked curiously.
Chen Mu reluctantly put down the secret alchemy in his hand and said frankly: "I finally met a sucker, and now there is no more tricks."
There was a loud bang outside Tianyi Pavilion, and a pale yellow rainbow light shot up into the sky with great rage.
The smooth bluestone slabs were shattered to the ground.
"Ha ha!"
Ying Tiance couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, slapping the table.
How come the always shrewd Sun family was treated as a sucker?
Thinking of the ugly expression on old ghost Sun Jian's face, Ying Tiance laughed even more happily.
