Luo Xuanji went to receive the guests in person.
Those who don't know, think that this woman is one of their subordinates, but those who really know her know what a terrifying existence this woman is!
"Having the courage to fight tooth and nail to achieve her goals, and yet still being able to bend and stretch, it is no wonder that she was able to claw her way out of the passing years and endure the chaos of time and space until she is alive today."
Su Yi sighed secretly.
He knew very well that this woman Luo Xuanji was extremely dangerous and her temperament was unpredictable, so he could not be underestimated in any way.
Of course, it would be best if we could live in peace.
Soon, led by Luo Xuanji, Lie Xingqu and Lie Leng walked into the mansion.
Lie Xingqu holds a banana fan and wears a Confucian robe. He looks like a scholar and has a very good demeanor.
Lie Leng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Su Yi.
"I don't like small talk, and I don't care about red tape. You can just talk to me if you have something to say."
Su Yi sat in the wicker chair and did not move.
Lie Xingqu didn't care and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist is straightforward and open-minded. He is really a person of good temperament."
He pointed at Lie Leng beside him and said, "My nephew has been taken advantage of. I am here to resolve this misunderstanding with fellow Taoist."
Lie Leng took a deep breath, clasped his fists in greeting and said, "I was kept in the dark before. Thanks to you for waking me up, I had the opportunity to make amends. If I offended you at that time, I hope you will forgive me."
Saying that, he bowed and saluted.
Su Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, in my eyes, it's just a trivial matter, not worth a cent."
Lie Xingqu smiled and said: "My fellow Taoist has a noble demeanor and a bright and shining light, which is really admirable."
He first praised Su Yitong, and then said solemnly: "I also want to take this opportunity to express my attitude when I come here this time. The previous conflict has nothing to do with me. The reason why my nephew was
Taking advantage of it, someone wants to drag me into the water and make me an enemy of fellow Taoists."
Su Yi and Luo Xuanji were both surprised.
"Then who is the mastermind behind this?"
Su Yi said with great interest.
"The second chief priest is Qin Wenxiao."
Lie Xingqu said directly, "He wants to drag me into trouble, and I can't let him get what he wants. Besides, the whole thing started because of him, and I don't want to be blamed for nothing."
Su Yi thought thoughtfully, "Aren't you in the same group?"
Lie Xingqu smiled bitterly, "Of course not."
"No wonder the rules and order in this city are taken advantage of by others. You three chief priests are not on the same page. How can you make the rules fair and just?"
Su Yi whispered.
There was no hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Lie Leng couldn't help but frown. Does Su Yi really think that his uncle is easy to talk to? That would be too presumptuous.
Lie Xingqu sighed and shook his head: "My fellow Taoists don't know that the Road to the Ancient Gods has not been opened for a long time. Everything in this starting city has already changed and is different from before."
Su Yi snorted and said, "Can you tell me in detail?"
Lie Xingqu said with a smile: "If you don't mind the trouble, I wouldn't mind having a friendly chat about this matter with you."
"Sit down and talk."
Su Yi raised his hand to signal.
"Thank you." Lie Xingqu noticed the change in Su Yi's attitude, smiled, and sat down on a seat on one side.
Lie Leng stood behind Lie Xingqu very wisely.
The conversation that followed was very harmonious.
No matter what Su Yi asked, Liexing Qu knew everything.
Even some private matters involving the three officiants were briefly mentioned.
Soon, Su Yi had learned many things. In the past, the rules and order of the Starting City had always been controlled by three forbidden artifacts and could not be changed by human will!
Even the three officiants cannot violate the rules.
Because of this, in the past, no matter who they were, no matter their level of cultivation, as long as they entered the starting city, no one dared to violate the rules!
Not even God can do that!
These three taboo artifacts are the Minghao Mirror, the Heavenly Punishment Staff, and the Drum of Injustice!
The Ming Hao Mirror is controlled by the chief priest and hangs high in the city lord's palace to see everything clearly. All disputes and conflicts that occur in the city will be seen through by the Ming Hao Mirror, and right and wrong can be distinguished.
The Heavenly Punishment Staff, controlled by the two chief priests, is the most powerful weapon among the three artifacts and can suppress gods and demons!
The Drum of Injustice is controlled by the three chief priests. This artifact is very special and is rarely used, but if it is used, it will definitely mean there is an grievance!
This kind of grievance is often related to violating the rules and order, but the reason why the rules are violated has another hidden reason.
It is necessary to cry out the grievance drum to redress one's grievances and clear one's name.
But according to Lie Xingqu, all this changed a long time ago.
The reason is very simple. The "Minghao Mirror" originally controlled by the chief priest was stolen and completely lost.
The "Drum of Injustice" controlled by the three chief priests lost its drumsticks, and only a large drum was left in the city lord's palace. However, without the drumsticks, it is difficult for this artifact to exert its true magical effect.
Only the Heavenly Punishment Staff is still there, and it has always been controlled by the two chief priests.
Because of this, the chief priest Fa Tianming is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. It seems that he is still the master of the starting city, but in fact he no longer has much prestige.
The one who is in the limelight right now is Qin Wenxiao, the second officiant!
He controls the Heavenly Punishment Staff, a powerful weapon, and can use the power of Zhouxu's rules in the city to suppress and kill all those who violate the rules. He will seize life and death, and his power is overwhelming.
Moreover, behind Qin Wenxiao stood the Qin clan of the ancient clan, and the Qin clan of the ancient clan was one of the top powers on the road to the ancient gods.
What happened to Su Yi today came from Qin Wenxiao's instruction, and Lie Leng led a group of city guards to execute it.
And Lie Leng, Lie Xingqu's nephew, was completely used by Qin Wenxiao as a gunman in order to drag the three chief priests Lie Xingqu into the water!
After understanding this, Su Yi couldn't help but frown and said, "Why does he want to drag you into the water?"
Lie Xingqu sighed and told the whole story.
The bright mirror was stolen, the drumstick was lost during the grievance drum, and now the rules and order of the starting city are completely decided by the three chief priests!
The chief priest has always ignored worldly affairs and is unwilling to get involved in any disputes, but his attitude is very clear and everything should be done according to the rules!
Under such circumstances, if the second chief priest wants to deal with Su Yi, he must make all his actions legal and compliant.
But here comes the problem.
Rules are dead, people are alive!
In addition, there is no mirror and drum to play a role. Whether the actions of the two officiants are legal and compliant is completely decided by the three officiants!
The chief priest, Fa Tianming, comes from the ancient "Legal family" and has always been at odds with the two chief priests.
Therefore, if Qin Wenxiao wanted to make his actions legal and compliant, and to prevent the chief priest from finding any faults, he could only drag the three chief priests, Lie Xingqu, into the water!
According to the rules of the city, as long as the two officiants have the same attitude, they can decide whether something is legal or not!
Only then did Su Yi fully understand the whole story.
He stroked his chin and said: "In other words, if I kill Lie Leng today, you will definitely not give up. You will definitely support the second chief priest Qin Wenxiao and fight against me. In such a situation, there is nothing the chief priest can do.
Objection, right?"
Lie Xingqu nodded and said: "That's exactly it."
After a pause, he continued: "In addition, this killing is also related to some outsiders. When they arrived at the Starting City three days ago, they had already become the guests of the second chief priest."
Su Yi said: "Are they the powerful men from the great forces in the God's Domain?"
"Exactly."
Liexingqu nodded.
"No wonder this massacre happened so quickly. It turns out that someone didn't take the rules of the Starting City seriously."
Su Yi whispered, and then he suddenly asked: "So, what is your attitude?"
This song of Lie Xing is very interesting. As the third chief priest of Beginning City, he paid a visit in person. He not only asked his nephew Lie Leng to apologize in person and eliminate the misunderstanding, but also patiently told him the whole story one by one, as if he was afraid that he would think too much.
generally.
This attitude is more than just being honest.
Lie Xingqu suppressed his smile and said with a solemn expression: "To be honest with you fellow Taoist, the attitudes of the chief priest, the second chief priest, and I are different! The purpose of coming here is to stand by your fellow Taoist!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.
Luo Xuanji, who had been listening in, had a strange look in his eyes and was thoughtful.
Lie Leng was stunned, almost stunned.
Before, my uncle had never said that he would stand clearly on Su Yi's side!
Doesn't this mean that he will completely break up with the second chief priest Qin Wenxiao?
"Uncle, although my nephew was taken advantage of, nothing happened to him. You don't have to do this for your nephew's sake!"
Lie Leng quickly spoke to dissuade him.
He was moved and warmed in his heart, realizing that his uncle was obviously doing this to help him vent his anger!
However, the consequences of this are too serious. If you are not careful, you will lose everything!
He didn't want his uncle to jump into such a pit of fire for himself!
Lie Xingqu was stunned: "Who said I did this for you?"
"Ah...isn't it?" Lie Leng was dumbfounded.
Lie Xingqu said with a smile: "If it's just to vent your anger, there is no need for me to fall out with Qin Wenxiao."
Lie Leng was suddenly embarrassed. He realized that he had thought too much, and that he... was actually not that important at all!
"Why?" Su Yi asked curiously at this moment.
Lie Xingqu was silent for a moment and said: "Forgive me for not being able to tell you the specific reasons, but I believe that after you pass the nine trials, you will be able to understand what I am doing today!"
As he said that, he stood up from his seat, straightened his clothes, and said solemnly: "If what we talked about today is leaked, I am not afraid, but I am afraid that it will implicate the clan, and I hope that you can do it for me."
Confidential."
Su Yi nodded and said: "Yes."
Lie Xingqu was visibly relieved.
Lie Leng looked shocked. Is his uncle crazy? He knew it was to implicate the clan, but he still chose to do this?
What is this for?
Lie Leng doesn't understand.
There was a faint arc on Luo Xuanji's lips, as if he understood something.
"I can also assure you that no matter what the second chief priest does next, I will do my best to stop it!"
"And I will personally ask the chief priest to uphold justice. I will spend all my money to escort fellow Taoists to leave the starting city and embark on the road of trials!"
Lie Xingqu looked solemn and spoke loudly.
Su Yi smiled and said: "I will leave tomorrow, but today's matter cannot be forgotten like that!"
The plain words revealed a faint hint of murderous intent.
